                          Notes to Financial Statements

A.     Accounting Policies

       The  accompanying   unaudited  interim  financial  statements  have  been
prepared by the Company in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  in regard to  quarterly  reporting.  In the opinion of the
Company,  the  statements  include all  adjustments,  consisting  only of normal
recurring  adjustments,  which are  necessary for a fair  representation  of the
financial position and results of operations for interim periods.

B.     Interim Results of Operations

       The  Company's  business  is highly  seasonal,  with peak  sales  periods
occurring during its fourth fiscal quarter which includes the Christmas  season.
The net earnings of any interim quarter are seasonally  disproportionate  to net
sales since  administrative  and certain  operating  expenses remain  relatively
constant during the year. Consequently, interim results should not be considered
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.

C.     Expansion

       During the second  quarter,  the Company opened one new 4,400 square foot
S&K store in Harrisburg,  Pennsylvania. Since the end of the second quarter, the
Company has closed two S&K stores  (Kissimmee,  Florida--  3,940 square feet and
Fort Pierce, Florida--3,425 square feet) and one of its Washington, DC, Menswear
Mega Center stores  (17,840  square feet) because they had not met the Company's
sales and earnings expectations.

       As of August 31, 1996,  the Company  closed its two other  Menswear  Mega
Center stores (42,120 square feet) in the  Washington,  DC market.  The Menswear
Mega  Center  concept was  developed  as a test in 1992 for major  markets,  but
financial expectations had not been met. These locations' leases were assumed by
K&G Men's Centers,  Inc.,  which purchased  certain  leasehold  improvements and
other fixed  assets.  The  closings of these two stores will not have a material
effect on earnings for the current fiscal year.

</TABLE>

       Net sales in the second quarter increased by 7.8%, or $2.1 million,  over
the same period last year,  and reflects the net addition of 17 new stores since
July 29, 1995.  Comparable store sales were up 3%. For the six-month period, net
sales  increased  by 8.6% or $4.8  million  over the same  period last year with
comparable stores sales up 3%. These sales increases were attributable to strong
performance in suits and to an aggressive marketing campaign. During the quarter
ended July 27, 1996, the Company opened one new store and converted one existing
store to its larger superstore format.  There were 188 stores in operation as of
July 27, 1996, compared to 171 stores at July 29, 1995.

       Cost of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 was 54.4% of net sales
compared to 55.4% of net sales for the same period last year.  For the six-month
period,  cost of sales was 54.3% of net sales compared to 55.3% last year. These
decreases  were  equally  the result of reduced  markdowns  associated  with the
clearance of seasonal  merchandise and improved  initial markup on new inventory
purchases,  both partially offset by expensing of previously  capitalized buying
and occupancy costs due to lower inventory levels.

       Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses in the second  quarter of
fiscal  1997  were  40.2% of net  sales  compared  to 39.4% of net sales for the
second quarter of fiscal 1996. This increase was due to incurring  planned store
salary  and  rent  costs  while  sales  were  unexpectedly  lower in July due to
weakened customer  response during the Olympic Games and Hurricane  Bertha.  For
the six-month period, selling, general and administrative expenses were 39.6% of
net sales compared to 39.0% of net sales last year.  This increase was primarily
attributable  to higher  medical  claims  during the first quarter and incurring
planned  store salary and rent costs while sales fell short of  expectations  in
July 1996.

                                       6






       Interest  expense  in the second  quarter  of fiscal  1997 was .5% of net
sales  compared to .7% of net sales for the second  quarter of fiscal 1996.  For
the six-month  period,  interest expense was .4% of net sales compared to .7% of
net sales last year. These decreases are primarily attributable to reductions in
the last six months in average borrowing levels from $9.6 million in fiscal 1996
to $6.6 million this year.

       Other,  net in the second  quarter of fiscal 1997 was income of (1.1)% of
net sales  compared to (.1)% of net sales for the same period last year. For the
six-month period, other, net was income of (.6)% of sales compared to (.1)% last
year. These increases in other, net income are primarily attributable to receipt
of  nonrecurring,  nontaxable  proceeds from a life insurance policy on a former
officer.

       Provision for income taxes in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 was 28.6%
of income before income taxes  compared to 38.0% for the same quarter last year.
On a year-to-date  basis,  provision for income taxes was 33.8% of income before
income  taxes  compared  to  38.0%  last  year.   These  decreases  were  solely
attributable to the nontaxable,  nonrecurring  insurance  proceeds  disclosed in
other,  net above.  The Company  anticipates that its effective tax rate will be
38.0% for the remainder of fiscal 1997, compared to 38.0% in fiscal 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       The  Company  has  funded its  operating  activities,  including  capital
expenditures for the opening of new stores, from internally  generated funds and
from bank  borrowings.  Through the first six months of fiscal 1997, the Company
opened four new S&K stores and converted two existing  stores to its  superstore
format.  By Thanksgiving  1997, the Company plans to open a number of new stores
and remodel several others.  The Company  believes that its sources of liquidity
and capital resources will continue to be sufficient to fund its operations.

       Operating  activities  provided  net cash of $45,000 and used net cash of
$228,000  during  the first six  months of fiscal  1997 and 1996,  respectively.
Excluding  the  effects  of changes in working  capital,  net cash  provided  by
operating activities in the first six months was $3.4 million this year compared
to $2.5 million last year.

       Net cash used in investing  activities in fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996 was
primarily  for  the  purpose  of  store  expansion  and   remodelings.   Capital
expenditures  for the first six months of fiscal 1997 and 1996  approximated $.8
million and $.5 million,  respectively.  In the first six months of fiscal 1997,
the Company  opened four new stores and converted  two others to its  superstore
format.  For the same  period last year,  the Company  opened two new stores and
remodeled two other stores.

       Financing  activities  provided net cash of approximately  $.7 million in
the first six months of fiscal 1997 compared with $.3 million in the same period
in fiscal 1996.  Financing  activities  primarily  relate to fluctuations in the
borrowing  levels under the Company's  revolving credit  agreements.  During the
second quarter,  the Company amended those  agreements to extend the date of its
option to convert to term loans from May 31, 1997 to May 31, 1998. The Company's
revolving credit  agreements with two banks aggregate $24.0 million.  As of July
27, 1996, the Company had net unused commitments of approximately  $12.0 million
under the agreements.

        credit  shall be issued  subject  to  additional  terms  and  conditions
