                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (unaudited)

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

      Since the end of the second quarter, the Company has opened 14 S&K stores
totaling 58,605 square feet and converted two existing S&K stores into
superstores, adding 2,650 square feet. The Company closed five S&K stores
totaling 19,500 square feet and the three remaining Menswear Mega Centers in
Washington, D.C., totaling 57,940 square feet. New stores opened since July 27,
1996, are as follows:

      S&K stores in Fort Pierce and Kissimmee, Florida, were closed due to not
meeting the Company's sales and profitability expectations. A store in Little
Rock, Arkansas, and a store in Greensboro, North Carolina, were relocated and
converted into superstores. A store located in Columbia, South Carolina
(Richland Fashion Mall), was closed due to the landlord's buyout of the lease to
reconfigure the mall. The three remaining Menswear Mega Centers were closed
because they had not met the Company's sales and earnings expectations. Two of
the Mega Centers' leases were assumed by K&G Men's Centers, Inc.

</TABLE>



     Net sales in the third quarter increased by 7%, or $1.9 million, over the
same period last year. This increase is due to the net addition of 11 new S&K
stores since October 28, 1995, and comparable store sales increases of 7% for
the third quarter; both partially offset by reduced sales due to the closing of
the Menswear Mega Centers. For the nine-month period, net sales increased by 8%,
or $6.8 million over the same period last year, with comparable store sales up
5%, both partially offset by reduced sales due to the closing of the Menswear
Mega Centers. These sales increases were attributable to a strong performance in
suits and to an aggressive marketing campaign. During the quarter ended October
26, 1996, the Company opened three new stores, closed seven stores (including
the three remaining Menswear Mega Centers) and remodeled two existing
superstores. There were 183 total stores in operation as of October 26, 1996,
compared to 177 stores at October 28, 1995.

     Cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was 53.6% of net sales
compared to 55.3% of net sales for the third quarter last year. For the
nine-month period, cost of sales was 54.1% of net sales compared to 55.3% of net
sales last year. These cost reductions as a percentage of net sales were
primarily due to not having the sales volume from the former Menswear Mega
Centers which had a lower gross margin than the Company's S&K stores

     Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of fiscal
1997 were 42.2% of net sales compared to 41.1% of net sales for the third
quarter of fiscal 1996. This 1.1% of net sales increase is the result of having
higher planned advertising costs associated with an aggressive direct mail
campaign designed to increase market share and not having the sales volume from
the former Menswear Mega Centers which had operated at reduced overhead costs as
a percentage of net sales. For the nine-month period, selling, general and
administrative expenses were 40.5% of net sales versus 39.7% of net sales in the
same period last year. This .8% of net sales increase is attributable to higher
group medical claims and incurring store salary and rent costs at planned levels
while sales fell short of expectations, especially in second quarter.

                                       6
<PAGE>

     Interest expense was .4% of net sales for both the third quarter and
nine-month periods of fiscal 1997 compared to .7% of net sales in the same two
periods last year. These decreases are primarily attributable to reductions in
average borrowing levels from $9.7 million in fiscal 1996 to $6.3 million this
year.

     Other, net consists of other income of 1.3% of net sales in the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to other expense of .8% of net sales for the
same period last year. This year includes $336,000, or 1.1% of net sales,
representing a net gain associated with a landlord's buyout of the lease of an
S&K store in Columbia, South Carolina. Last year includes the expensing of
estimated closing costs of $265,000, or .9% of net sales, associated with two
Menswear Mega Center locations in Chicago, Illinois. On a nine-month basis,
other income was .9% of net sales compared to other expense of .2% last year.
This 1.1% of net sales increase in income is equally the result of the two
fluctuations discussed above and the second quarter fiscal 1997 receipt of
nonrecurring, nontaxable proceeds from a life insurance policy on a former
officer.

     Provision for income taxes in the third quarter of both fiscal 1997 and
1996 was 38.0% of income before income taxes. On a year-to-date basis, the
provision for income taxes was 34.9% of income before income taxes compared to
38.0% last year. This reduction is solely attributable to the nontaxable,
nonrecurring insurance proceeds disclosed in Other, net above.

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 nine months of fiscal 1997, the Company
opened six new S&K stores, converted four existing stores to its superstore
format and remodeled eight other S&K stores. Since the end of the third quarter,
the Company has opened 12 more new S&K stores. 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 $.7 million during the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 compared to $1.7 million for the same 1996 period. The
decrease is due primarily to higher net income being more than offset by
increased inventory purchases and reductions in accounts payable and accrued
expenses. Excluding the effects of changes in working capital, net cash provided
by operating activities in the first nine months was $4.6 million this year
compared to $3.4 million last year.

     Net cash used in investing activities is primarily for the purpose of store
expansion and remodelings. Capital expenditures approximated $1.7 million for
the first nine months of both fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996. The Company has
opened 12 additional stores since the end of the fiscal 1997 third quarter. In
fiscal 1997, $375,000 was received as proceeds in connection with the buyout of
a lease in Columbia, South Carolina, and $169,000 was received in connection
with the sale of certain fixed assets.

     Financing activities provided net cash of $.3 million in the nine-month
period this year compared to using $.1 million in the same period last year.
Financing activities relate to fluctuations in the borrowing levels under the
Company's revolving credit agreements. During fiscal 1997, 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 October 26, 1996, the Company had net
unused commitments of approximately $17.9 million available under these
agreements.

OTHER MATTERS

     In connection with the lessor's buyout of the Rockville, Maryland, Menswear
Mega Center lease, the Company will receive $1.0 million subject to the
landlord's ability to obtain permanent financing to redevelop the center and the
Company will incur certain expenses. Management has not recorded any gain on
this transaction due to the uncertainty of the availability and timing of the
lessor's permanent financing.
