PART I.
Item 1. Business
(a) General Development of Business
S & K Famous Brands, Inc. (the "Company") has been in business for twenty-nine
years. The Company began operations with one store and presently operates 184
stores. The Company was incorporated in Virginia in 1970, as successor to a
business established in 1967. As used herein, the term "Company" includes the
Company and its predecessors. The Company's corporate headquarters is located at
11100 West Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia; the telephone number is (804)
346-2500. For a discussion of the Company's business and its development during
the fiscal year ended January 27, 1996 ("fiscal 1996"), see "Narrative
Description of Business."
(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments
The Company is engaged in one line of business, the retail sale of men's
clothing, furnishings, sportswear and accessories. Accordingly, data with
respect to separate industry segments is not applicable and has not been
reported herein.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
GENERAL
The Company is engaged in the retail sale of men's clothing, furnishings,
sportswear and accessories through stores trading primarily as S & K Famous
Brand Menswear (S & K). The Company sells in-season, firstquality, men's
apparel, primarily with nationally recognized brand names, at 20% to 40% less
than regular, full-priced department and specialty store prices. This apparel
includes a full line of men's suits, sportcoats, slacks, shirts, ties,
sportswear and related accessories.
The Company's operations are generally conducted under the name S & K Famous
Brand Menswear, but the Company does operate three stores under the name
Menswear Mega Center. There are 184 stores in 27 states: Virginia, Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Except for one free-standing location, all
of the S&K stores are located either in strip shopping centers or enclosed
shopping malls.
During fiscal 1996, the Company opened 20 new S & K stores and one new Menswear
Mega Center, totaling 112,195 square feet, in the following localities:
Florida: Jacksonville, Pensacola and Tampa market (which includes one
store each in Brandon, Clearwater, St. Petersburg and
Tampa)
Illinois: Peoria
Iowa: Des Moines
Louisiana: Baton Rouge
Maryland: New Carrollton (Menswear Mega Center)
New York: Buffalo market (includes one store in Hamburg and two stores in
Williamsville), Niagara Falls and Syracuse market
(includes one store each in Clay and Dewitt)
North Carolina: Durham
Ohio: West Carrollton (Dayton market)
Oklahoma: Tulsa
Pennsylvania: Erie
Texas: Austin

<PAGE>
In fiscal 1996, the Company closed seven S&K stores totaling 23,690 square feet
(Brunswick, Georgia; Moline, Illinois; Davenport, Iowa; Sikeston, Missouri;
Winston-Salem (Hanes Mall), North Carolina; Brentwood, Tennessee (relocating in
Spring 1996 to Mallory Corners Shopping Center); Richmond (Azalea Mall,
Virginia). Additionally, the Company closed its two Menswear Mega Centers in the
Chicago, Illinois market (Arlington Heights and Downers Grove) which totaled
35,410 square feet. These closed stores had not met the Company's sales and
profitability expectations.
The following table summarizes information concerning store openings and
closings during the fiscal years presented:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
Average sales per selling square foot for the stores included in comparable
store sales statistics were: $215, $212, $217, $221, and $210 in the fiscal
years ended 1996 through 1992, respectively. Other than the general economic and
competitive environment, average sales per selling square foot are primarily
influenced by three factors: sales levels in existing stores from year to year;
an increasing proportion of newer stores which, although profitable, might not
have reached sales levels of more mature stores; and an increasing number of
additional stores in existing markets, where the Company does not expect sales
levels to be as high as in markets in which the Company operates a single store.
The number of new stores opened in existing markets (which negatively impacted
existing store sales while increasing total market sales) in fiscal years 1996,
1995 and 1994, were four, five, and eight, respectively.
MERCHANDISE AND MARKETING
The merchandise offered in the Company's stores feature a wide variety of
nationally recognized labels from America's leading manufacturers as well as the
Company's exclusive, private-labels. This first-quality merchandise is purchased
directly from manufacturers or produced to S & K's specifications and sold at
prices substantially lower than those regularly charged by department and
specialty stores. The Company does not purchase any "seconds" or "irregulars".
S & K offers a complete line of men's apparel: suits, sportcoats, furnishings,
casual clothing and accessories. Additionally, the Company's "Corporate Casual"
collection, which is sportcoat driven, responds to the trend toward relaxed
dress codes in the workplace.
S & K's sales associates provide the level and quality of customer service
generally found only in exclusive men's clothing stores. These services include
providing basic alterations at modest cost, soliciting comments from customers
on their satisfaction with the merchandise and services, maintaining customer
files on special preferences, and offering a liberal refund policy for returned
merchandise, including a money-back guarantee. S & K also offers a Premiere Club
for those customers who shop with the Company on a repeat basis. Members of the
Premiere Club receive periodic mailings which usually contain special
promotional opportunities, as well as free alterations for the life of garments
purchased.
4
<PAGE>
S & K uses television as its primary advertising media. Television may be
occasionally supplemented by newspaper for certain promotions or special events
such as grand openings. The Company also uses direct mail for Premiere Club
promotions. The Premiere Club allows the Company to target customers who have
been the most responsive and loyal to S & K in the past. The Company anticipates
that its Premiere Club promotions will continue to increase and may ultimately
serve as the basis for most future promotional efforts. In fiscal 1996 the
Company continued to use Baseball Hall of Famer Johnny Bench as its advertising
and marketing spokesperson. The S & K customer has been receptive to this
association and the Company plans to continue this relationship in fiscal 1997.
PURCHASING AND DISTRIBUTION
Purchasing for all of the Company's stores is directed from the Company's
headquarters in Richmond, Virginia, under the control of the Executive Vice
President - Merchandising and Distribution.
The Company purchases branded merchandise directly from a number of nationally
recognized manufacturers. These purchases consist primarily of merchandise
produced in volume specifically from orders placed by S & K well in advance of
manufacturers' production cycles and to a much lesser extent from manufacturers'
overstocks. S & K's advance purchasing enables manufacturers to fill the
Company's orders during off-peak manufacturing periods. The Company believes
these buying practices enable it to sell this merchandise at prices generally
20% to 40% below prices regularly offered by full-priced department and
specialty stores.
The Company also uses a number of high quality men's clothing factories which
manufacture goods to its specifications for Company-owned labels, such as
Tailors Row, Deansgate, Club Run, Cambridge Bay, Fenzia and others. The Tailors
Row label, which includes suits, blazers and slacks, offers a 100% worsted wool
product with an exceptional level of tailoring and complements the Company's
other clothing lines. The Company also offers a similar product line using
blended fabric under its Deansgate label. The various manufacturing programs
enable the Company to better control the quality, selection and depth of its
merchandise and supplement apparel purchased from brand name manufacturers.
S & K works diligently to establish and maintain good vendor relationships. The
Company purchases merchandise from approximately 150 vendors. Except for one
vendor who accounted for approximately 16%, no other vendor exceeded 10% of the
Company's purchases in fiscal 1996. S & K does not believe that the loss of any
vendor would significantly impact the Company. The Company does not maintain any
long-term purchase commitments or arrangements with any supplier and believes
that there will be sufficient sources of merchandise to support its expansion
plans with no adverse effect on its purchasing practices.
S & K has a basic item replenishment program with its major suppliers for much
of its merchandise to fulfill customers' needs on a timely basis and increase
the Company's inventory turnover. Substantially all of the Company's merchandise
is received centrally at its 110,000 square foot distribution center in
Richmond, Virginia. While the Company does have a program in place to ship
direct to certain stores from its vendors, most merchandise is sorted, priced
(if not pre-ticketed by the vendor) and distributed from the distribution
center. S & K's stores within an average 200 miles distance from Richmond
receive merchandise twice a week with deliveries generally made by the Company's
own trucks. Deliveries are made two to three times a week to stores outside this
radius using common carriers or package delivery companies. In fiscal 1995,
several enhancements were made in the distribution center including the
reconfiguration of the shipping area, an additional interior deck and technology
improvements. The Company believes that through these enhancements and the
availability of direct vendor shipments to its stores that there is sufficient
capacity for receiving, storing and shipping merchandise to support the
Company's future expansion plans.

<PAGE>
STORE OPERATIONS
Each store is under the direction of a general manager who is supervised by a
district manager. The district managers, who each generally supervise ten to
fifteen stores, visit the stores frequently to review merchandise needs,
personnel training and performance, and adherence to the Company's operating
procedures.
The Company uses a multi-disciplinary training course specifically developed for
S & K associates. All store associates participate in this 75-day self study
program, which the Company calls its "Gold Star" program. This program sets a
personalized standard of performance for each sales associate on a weekly basis
and closely monitors that progress. Additionally, throughout the year, the
Company conducts numerous one-week, in-house training seminars for selected
management trainees and full-time sales associates. These developmental programs
are enhanced by continuous on-the-job training, video training and periodic,
indistrict meetings conducted by district managers or Vice Presidents -
Operations. Annually, all general managers are brought to Richmond to
participate in a 4-day corporate training and team building session.
The Company stresses promotion from within, and most of the Company's general
managers and district managers have been promoted in this manner. S & K has cash
bonuses and other incentive plans in effect for its store and district managers
with awards based upon individual and store performance.
Each store employs an average of six sales associates, some on a part-time
basis. A weekly sales goal is established for each sales associate. The Company
evaluates weekly productivity reports and conducts semi-annual Management by
DevelopmentR goal reviews to apprise each associate of his or her performance.
All sales are accepted with cash, personal checks or independent credit cards
(Visa/Master Card/Discover). The Company assumes no credit risk on credit card
purchases but pays a customary percentage of those sales to a credit card
processor as a service charge. The Company has a liberal refund policy on
returned merchandise.
INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AND POINT-OF-SALE SYSTEM
Inventory records are controlled centrally and updated daily utilizing an
automated point-of-sale (POS) system. Each store's POS system is polled nightly
by the Company's computerized information system. This system assimilates all
data and interfaces with the Company's automated merchandise control, ordering,
replenishment and open-to-buy systems. Semi-annual physical inventories are
conducted in every store to verify and enhance the accuracy of the merchandise
information system. Additionally, the store managers provide daily information
to the central office where it is subjected to various sales, cash and inventory
procedures.
All stores have a POS system which includes automatic price lookup, the ability
to scan barcoded merchandise price tickets, the ability to send and receive
electronic mail, the ability to capture Premiere Club purchase activity and
store productivity reporting capabilities. The Company is continuing to evaluate
currently available POS technology and has identified productivity and customer
service enhancements which could be customized to meet S&K's expectations. The
Company expects to upgrade it's POS system and, following successful testing,
convert a minimum of two districts in 1996. Upgrading all current stores is
estimated to require a capital outlay of approximately $2.0 million and is
expected to be completed between one to three years.

STORE EXPANSION
The Company plans to continue its policy of pursuing suitable locations and
opening new stores when attractive opportunities are presented. The general plan
for expansion is to increase sales and market share through the development of
additional store locations in both new and existing markets, subject to
favorable economic conditions.
The Company is currently seeking new S&K store locations in the eastern half of
the United States. The criteria used in selecting sites for new stores include
the geographic locations and the demographics and psychographic of the
surrounding area. Based on S & K's research, the Company locates its stores in
areas that appear most
<PAGE>
likely to be receptive to the Company's retailing strategy. With respect to
store sites in shopping centers, the Company considers the principal anchor
stores located in the center, tenant mix and the positioning of the Company's
site within that center.
The S & K stores are designed to provide what the Company believes is required
by the modern-day value-conscious consumers of menswear. The Company's store
formats are designed to attract a broad mix of customers by providing the
customer with the opportunity to make purchases quickly during leisure time as
well as having quality merchandise displayed in attractive store settings.
Additionally, each store format incorporates the latest advances in
merchandising techniques.
The Company currently has three S&K formats: approximately 59% of the stores are
considered to be traditional stores, 33% are outlets and 8% are superstores
(which were redesigned and expanded in fiscal 1996). The 4,000 square foot
traditional S & K store provides a specialty store setting and is generally
located near regional malls in mid-size markets. The 3,500 square foot outlet
store is located within outlet centers and is designed to attract the bargain
shopper. The 5,500-6,500 square foot superstore carries a much broader
merchandise assortment, especially in tailored clothing. The larger format
enables the Company to use "shop concepts" within the store, i.e. - golf shop,
formal shop, etc., as well as expand the presentation of its "Corporate Casual"
collection.
The Company currently has three stores operating under the name Menswear Mega
Center in the Washington D.C. market. These stores, approximately five to six
times larger than a traditional S & K store, carry significantly more
merchandise, including over 8,000 suits and sportcoats and operate on a
low-overhead concept in a no frills, warehouse-type environment. The Company is
continuing to evaluate the Menswear Mega Center concept and currently has no
additional locations planned for 1996.
SEASONALITY
The Company's business is highly seasonal, with peak sales periods occurring
during the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the Christmas season. The
fourth fiscal quarter generally accounts for approximately 30-33% of the
Company's net sales and 55-60% of its net earnings for a fiscal year.
WORKING CAPITAL
The Company has historically funded its working capital from internally
generated funds and from bank borrowings and expects these sources to continue
to be adequate for the foreseeable future.
7
<PAGE>
COMPETITION
The retail men's apparel business is highly competitive. The Company's stores
compete with department stores, other men's specialty stores and discount
clothing stores. The Company competes on the basis of price, quality and
selection of merchandise, as well as customer service and store location. Many
of its competitors are considerably larger than the Company and have
substantially greater financial and other resources. At various times throughout
the year, department store chains and full-priced specialty shops offer brand
name merchandise at substantial markdowns, at times resulting in prices matching
or less than those regularly offered by the Company.
EMPLOYEES
As of January 27, 1996, the Company had approximately 1,500 employees, more than
half of whom worked part-time. A number of part-time employees are usually added
during the Christmas holiday season. None of the Company's employees are covered
by collective bargaining agreements. The Company considers its employee
relations to be good.
TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS
The Company believes it has the right to use all trademarks and service marks
necessary to conduct its business as currently operated. The Company considers
these marks and the accompanying customer recognition and goodwill to be
valuable to its business, particularly in the case of its "S&K"-related service
marks and logos. The Company believes its existing rights to use such marks can
be preserved through continued use of the marks and, where applicable, renewal
of registrations.
(d) Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic
Operations and Export Sales
The Company has no foreign operations or export sales.

<PAGE>
Item 2. Properties
All of the Company's stores are leased. Of the 184 stores, 150 are located in
strip shopping centers, 33 are located in enclosed malls and one is
free-standing. The square footage of the stores varies with store format. The
traditional S&K store generally ranges in size from approximately 3,500 to 4,500
square feet, the outlet stores from 3,000 to 4,000 square feet and the
superstores from 5,500 to 6,500 square feet. The Menswear Mega Centers range in
size from approximately 17,700 to 22,400 square feet. All stores are located in
close proximity to population centers, department stores and other retail
operations and are often situated near a major highway or thoroughfare.
As leases expire, the Company generally exercises a renewal option when
desirable. It is S & K's strategy to negotiate its leases to include termination
clauses exercisable within two years of initial occupancy. By exercising this
termination clause when appropriate, S & K is able to minimize any long-term
effect of opening an undesirable location which would be unable to meet volume
and profitability expectations. Additionally, these termination clauses give the
Company flexibility to relocate a store should a more attractive site become
available in that market. In most cases, the Company's new stores have been
profitable, on an operating basis, in the first quarter of their operation.
The company closed seven S&K stores in fiscal 1996: Brunswick, Georgia; Moline,
Illinois; Davenport, Iowa; Sikeston, Missouri; Winston-Salem (Hanes Mall), North
Carolina; Brentwood, Tennessee; Richmond (Azalea Mall), Virginia. Additionally,
the Company closed its two Menswear Mega Centers in the Chicago, Illinois market
(Arlington Heights and Downers Grove).
As of April 3, 1996, the Company operated 184 stores in 27 states. The

Store leases generally provide for a base rent of between $6.00 and $21.00 per
square foot. Most leases contain provisions which require the payment of a
percentage of sales as additional rent, generally when sales reach specified
levels.
The Company's executive offices are located at its Corporate Headquarters and
Central Distribution Center in Richmond, Virginia, and are owned by the Company.
The total facility contains approximately 130,000 square feet, with the

============= =============== =============
</TABLE>
YEAR ENDED JANUARY 27, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JANUARY 28, 1995
Net sales increased by 9% or $10.3 million, from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1996.
The increase in net sales reflects the net addition of 12 new stores in fiscal
1996. The Company opened 21 new stores and closed nine stores including the
year end closing of the Brentwood, Tennessee store which will be relocated in
Spring 1996. These closed stores had not met the Company's sales and
profitability expectations and included the two Menswear Mega Centers (MMC) in
the Chicago, Illinois market. Comparable store sales were up 4%. Sales were
positively impacted by strong suit sales while sportswear and seasonal
merchandise were below expectations.
Cost of sales in fiscal 1996 was 55.3% of net sales compared to 56.9% of net
sales in fiscal 1995. This 1.6% of net sales reduction was primarily the
result of improved initial markup on inventory purchased.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1996 were 38.5% of net
sales compared to 37.4% of net sales in fiscal 1995. This 1.1% of net sales
increase was primarily attributable to increased levels of advertising as part
of the Company's ongoing strategy to increase customer traffic and market
share. To a lesser degree, the increase was due to higher store salaries to
attract and retain employees, offset in part by the leveraging of fixed
headquarters salaries on higher sales.
Interest expense was .6% of net sales in fiscal 1996 compared to .7% in fiscal
1995. The Company's 14% reduction in average borrowings from $11 million in
fiscal 1995 to $9.5 million in fiscal 1996 offset the 26% increase in average
borrowing rates.
Other, net consists of other expense of .2% of net sales in fiscal 1996
compared to other income of .2% of net sales in fiscal 1995. This increase in
costs is primarily due to the closing of nine stores in fiscal 1996 compared
to other income last year related to an insurable loss in which claim proceeds
exceeded the net book value of the Company's assets.
The effective tax rate increased to 38.0% in fiscal 1996 from 37.6% in fiscal
1995 and was primarily attributable to shifts in the percentage of income
allocated to states with higher tax rates.
<PAGE>
YEAR ENDED JANUARY 28, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JANUARY 29, 1994
Net sales increased by 14% or $13.4 million, from fiscal 1994 to fiscal 1995.
The increase in net sales reflected the net addition of 18 new stores in
fiscal 1995 including the relocation of three stores and the closure of four
others which had not met the Company's sales and profitability expectations.
Comparable store sales were down 2%. Sales were primarily impacted by a
general softness in consumer demand for men's clothing in the Company's
trading areas, and to a lesser degree, lower sportswear sales than planned due
to unseasonable weather.
Cost of sales in fiscal 1995 was 56.9% of net sales compared to 55.8% of net
sales in fiscal 1994. This change was the result of the increased mix of lower
margin sales from the four MMC stores and increased markdowns taken to clear
seasonal merchandise. In fiscal 1994, only one MMC store was open the full 12
months while three more stores were added late that year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1995 were 37.4% of net
sales compared to 36.4% of net sales in fiscal 1994. This increase was the net
result of increased levels of advertising in order to increase market share,
offset by lower professional expenses.
Interest expense was .7% of net sales in fiscal 1995 compared to .5% of net
sales in fiscal 1994. This increase resulted from higher interest rates and
higher average revolver borrowings which approximated $11.0 million in fiscal
1995 and $8.0 million in fiscal 1994.
The effective tax rate decreased to 37.6% in fiscal 1995 from 38.1% in fiscal
1994 and was attributable to a continued shift in the percentage of income in
states with lower tax rates and other adjustments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In fiscal 1996, the Company funded its operating activities, including capital
expenditures for the opening of new stores, from internally generated funds
and from bank borrowings. During fiscal 1996, the Company opened 20 new S&K
stores, one new MMC store in Washington, DC and remodeled 12 other S&K stores
including two existing superstores. Additionally, the Company closed nine
stores, six of which occurred in the fourth quarter (including the two MMC
stores in Chicago, Illinois). The Company believes that its sources of
liquidity and capital resources will continue to be sufficient to fund its
operations and capital expenditures.
Operating activities provided net cash of $7.2 million and $4.0 million in
fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively, but used net cash of $1.9 million in
fiscal 1994. The change between fiscal 1996 and 1995 was primarily
attributable to reduced inventory growth. The change between fiscal 1995 and
1994 was the net result of reduced inventory growth offset in part by the
fiscal 1995 net income decrease.
Net cash used in investing activities for the last three fiscal years was
primarily for the purpose of store expansion and approximated $3.3 million,
$3.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Fiscal 1995's capital
expenditures also included $.4 million related to enhancements at the
Distribution Center. The $.8 million decrease between fiscal 1995 and 1994
resulted from the purchase of property and equipment for 25 new stores in
fiscal 1995 compared to 28 in the prior year (three of which were larger MMC
stores).
Financing activities used net cash of $4.0 million and $.4 million in fiscal
1996 and 1995 respectively, but provided net cash of $6.0 million in fiscal
1994. Financing activities primarily relate to fluctuations in the principal
of the Company's revolving credit agreements. The Company's unsecured
revolving credit agreements with two banks aggregate $23.0 million. The
Company has the right at the end of May 1997 to convert the revolving credit
agreements to four-year term loans. At the end of fiscal 1996, the Company had
$17.3 million available for use under its bank revolving lines of credit.
OTHER MATTERS
Historically, inflation has not significantly affected the Company's gross
margins. When necessary, the Company has generally been able to pass through
price increases as the cost of merchandise has increased.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPAL BUSINESS
S&K Famous Brands, Inc.(the Company) is engaged in the retail sale of men's
clothing, furnishings, sportswear and accessories. The Company's fiscal year
is the 52 or 53 week period which ends on the last Saturday in January. Fiscal
years 1996, 1995 and 1994 were all 52 week periods.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for financial
reporting purposes is computed using both straight line and accelerated
methods over the estimated service lives which are between 25 and 40 years for
buildings and between five and seven years for furniture, fixtures and
equipment. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized over an eight year
period or the life of the lease if shorter.
Repair and maintenance expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Upon
retirement or sale of an asset, its cost and related accumulated depreciation
are written off and any gain or loss is recognized.
PRE-OPENING STORE COSTS
Costs associated with the opening of new stores are carried as prepaid
expenses and charged to expense upon store opening.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising expenditures are expensed in the period in which the advertisement
initially runs. Advertising expense of $10.0 million, $8.4 million and $6.7
million, respectively, was included in selling, general and administrative
expenses in each of the last three fiscal years. Deferred advertising costs
included in the balance sheets were less than $200,000.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS109), "Accounting for Income
Taxes". Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences in
the carrying amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts recognized for income tax purposes, tax
effected at income tax rates currently in effect.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share of common stock and common stock equivalents are calculated
using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each
period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from weighted average shares due
to insignificance.
NOTE 2 - MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES:
During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company changed its method of
determining the cost of the majority of its inventories to the average cost
method. The Company had previously determined the cost of inventories using
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) retail inventory method. Under the retail LIFO
inventory method, the Company had not experienced significant inflation in
retail prices in recent years. At the same time, the Company had experienced
cost reductions for certain goods as a result of volume and inventory sourcing
efficiencies. Under the average cost method, the Company tracks inventory
costs for approximately 130 inventory categories which are used to classify
the Company's inventory. Management believes that reporting inventories using
the average cost method will result in better matching of revenues and costs
and reporting on a basis more consistent with other companies in its industry.
<PAGE>
The change in the method of valuing inventories has been applied retroactively
and the effect on net income decreased amounts previously reported by $198,100
or $.04 per share in fiscal 1995 and $404,300 or $.09 per share in fiscal
1994. The balances of retained earnings for fiscal 1995 and 1994 have been
adjusted for the effect (net of income taxes) of applying retroactively the
new method of accounting.
The Company capitalizes certain buying, holding and distribution costs to
inventory which at the end of the last three fiscal years were approximately
$2.0 million, $2.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Buying, holding and
distribution costs charged to cost of sales in each of the fiscal years were
approximately $3.4 million, $3.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

the banks' prime interest rate. The Company's financing agreements contain
certain restrictive covenants, none of which is presently significant to the
Company. At the Company's option, any outstanding balance at May 31, 1997 is
convertible to four-year term loans at the banks' prime interest rate and is
payable in 16 quarterly installments.
At January 27, 1996, maturities of long-term debt, exclusive of the bank
revolving lines of credit, were $180,000 for each of the next five fiscal
years.

NOTE 5 - PROFIT SHARING AND OTHER BENEFIT PROGRAMS:
The Company maintains a noncontributory profit sharing plan for all employees
who meet age and service requirements. Contributions to the plan are
determined annually by the Board of Directors and were $75,000, $60,000 and
$50,000, respectively, in each of the last three fiscal years.
Additionally, the profit sharing plan includes a qualified salary reduction
plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible participants
in the Company's 401(k) Plan can elect to invest 1% to 15% of their pre-tax
earnings. The Company's contribution to the 401(k) Plan is at the discretion
of the Board of Directors, who authorized contributions of the Company's
common stock in the amount of $50,000, $40,000 and $35,000, respectively, in
each of the last three fiscal years.
The Company has receivables from certain officers in the amount of $345,000,
$327,000 and $270,000, respectively, in each of the last three fiscal years,
relating to premiums paid under split dollar life insurance policies.
Deferred compensation expense relating to agreements with certain executive
officers of the Company approximated $123,000, $114,000 and $105,000,
respectively, in each of the last three fiscal years.
NOTE 6 - STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE LOAN PLAN:

common shares to key management employees. Options to purchase the Company's
stock are granted at no less than the market value at the date of grant, are
exercisable after one to three years and expire after eight to ten years.
