PART I.
Item 1. Business
(a) General Development of Business
S & K Famous Brands, Inc. (the "Company") has been in business for thirty years.
The Company began operations with one store and presently operates 195 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 25, 1997 ("fiscal 1997"), 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
tailored 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 tailored clothing,
furnishings, sportswear and accessories through stores trading primarily as S &
K Famous Brand Menswear (S & K). The Company sells in-season, first-quality,
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. There are 195 stores in 26 states: Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,
Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and
Wisconsin. Except for two locations, all of the S & K stores are located either
in strip shopping centers or enclosed shopping malls.
During fiscal 1997, the Company opened 18 new S & K stores, totaling 78,155
square feet, in the following localities:
Arkansas: Fort Smith and Little Rock
Florida: Lakeland
Georgia: Macon
Indiana: Indianapolis (includes three stores in this market)
Michigan: Howell and Walker
New York: Cheektowago (Buffalo market)
North Carolina: Greensboro
Ohio: Columbus
Pennsylvania: Harrisburg and Scranton
Tennessee: Brentwood and Jackson
Texas: Hillsboro
West Virginia: Huntington
In addition, the Company expanded three stores in the following locations
(converting them to the superstore concept): Columbus, Ohio; Raleigh, North
Carolina and South Bend, Indiana, adding 7,452 square feet.
3
<PAGE>
In fiscal 1997, the Company closed five S & K stores totaling 19,500 square
feet: two stores were closed due to not meeting the Company's sales and
profitability expectations (Fort Pierce and Kissimmee, Florida); two stores were
relocated and converted into superstores (Little Rock, Arkansas and Greensboro,
North Carolina); and a store located in Columbia, South Carolina was closed due
to a landlord's request to buyout the lease. Additionally, the Company's three
remaining Menswear Mega Centers (totaling 57,940 square feet) were closed
because they had not met the Company's sales and earnings expectations.
The following table summarizes information concerning store openings and
closings during the fiscal years presented:

Average sales per selling square foot for the stores included in comparable
store sales statistics were: $218, $215, $212, $217, and $221 in the fiscal
years ended 1997 through 1993, 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 1997,
1996 and 1995, were three, four, and five, 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
as to 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 throughout the year 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 as well as prospective customer mailings. The direct mail programs
allow the Company to target Premiere Club customers who have been the most
responsive and loyal to S & K in the past or potential customers who fit the
Company's demographic profile. The Company anticipates that its direct mail
promotions will continue to increase and may ultimately serve as the basis for
most future promotional efforts. Baseball Hall of Famer, Johnny Bench, is the
advertising and marketing spokesperson for the Company. The S & K customer has
been receptive to this association and the Company plans to continue this
relationship in fiscal 1998.
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 - Merchandise.
The Company purchases branded merchandise directly from a number of nationally
recognized manufacturers. These purchases consist primarily of merchandise
produced 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, Roberto Villini, Club Run, Fenzia and others. The
Tailors Row label (as well as Tailors Row Finery), 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.
Additionally, in fiscal 1997 the Company introduced its Johnny Bench label which
was developed to appeal to mainstream America and has been initially used on
sportcoats and slacks and is being expanded to include suits. 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 135 vendors. Except for one
vendor who accounted for approximately 16%, no other vendor exceeded 10% of the
Company's purchases in fiscal 1997. 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 the 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 mile radius of Richmond receive merchandise
once a week with deliveries generally made by the Company's own trucks.
Deliveries are made one to two times a week to stores outside this radius using
common carriers or package delivery companies. The Company continually enhances
and refines its allocation and distribution processes (generally through
technology improvements in recent years). 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 one of the three 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. Physical inventories are conducted in
every store two times a year 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 working with a POS
systems provider to develop and customize an enhanced POS store system. This new
system facilitates enhanced and expanded customer tracking, employee
productivity reporting and automated point of sale markdowns, as well as several
new modules which include a merchandise locator service, alterations and
scheduling. This system was installed as a test in five stores during 1996. The
Company is evaluating the results in these stores and following successful
testing expects to convert approximately four districts in 1997. 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 existing and new 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 psychographics of the
surrounding area. Based on S & K's research, the Company locates its stores in
areas that appear most 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 valueconscious 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 55% of the stores
are considered to be traditional stores, 31% are outlets and 14% are
superstores. 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 5,000-6,500 square foot superstore
carries a much broader merchandise assortment, especially in tailored clothing.
The larger format also enables the Company to use "shop concepts" within the
store, i.e. - golf shop, formal shop, shoes, etc., as well as expand the
presentation of its "Corporate Casual" collection.
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 50-55% 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.
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 25, 1997, the Company had approximately 1,600 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.

Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
"Act"), which became law in late December 1995, provide companies with a "safe
harbor" when making forward-looking statements. This "safe harbor" encourages
companies to provide prospective information about their companies without fear
of litigation. The Company wishes to take advantage of the new "safe harbor"
provisions of the Act and is including this section in its Annual Report on Form
10-K in order to do so. Company statements that are not historical facts,
including statements about management's expectations for fiscal year 1998 and
beyond, are forward-looking statements and involve various risks and
uncertainties. Factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ
materially from management's projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations
include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) changes in the amount and degree of promotional intensity exerted
by current competitors and potential new competition many of whom
are, or may be, larger and have greater financial and marketing
resources;
(b) changes in general U.S. economic conditions including, but not
limited to, consumer credit availability, interest rates,
inflation, and consumer sentiment about the economy in general;
(c) changes in availability of working capital and capital
expenditure financing, including the availability of the
Company's existing working capital credit facility to support
development of retail stores;
(d) changes in the availability on acceptable terms of appropriate
real estate locations for expansion;
(e) the presence or absence of new products or product features in
the merchandise categories the Company sells and changes in the
Company's actual merchandise sales mix, including the trend
toward corporate casual attire;
(f) changes in availability of or access to both domestic and foreign
sources of merchandise inventory;
(g) the ability to maintain an effective leadership team in a dynamic
environment of changes in the cost or availability of a suitable
work force to manage and support the Company's service-driven
operating strategy;
(h) changes in production or distribution costs of the Company's
advertising;
(i) unusual weather patterns.
The United States retail industry and the specialty apparel retail industry in
particular are dynamic by nature and have undergone significant changes in
recent years. The Company's ability to anticipate and successfully respond to
continuing challenges is key to achieving its expectations.
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 195 stores are leased. With the exception of 2 locations,
all the stores are located in strip shopping centers or enclosed malls. 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. 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 five S & K stores in fiscal 1997: Little Rock, Arkansas; Fort
Pierce and Kissimmee, Florida; Greensboro, North Carolina; and Columbia, South
Carolina. Additionally, the Company closed the remaining three Menswear Mega
Centers in the Washington, DC market (Alexandria and Bailey's Crossroads,
Virginia, and New Carrollton, Maryland.)
As of March 30, 1997, the Company operated 195 stores in 26 states. The

Store leases generally provide for a base rent of between $6.00 and $21.50 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
distribution center occupying approximately 110,000 of that square footage.

</TABLE>
Year Ended January 25, 1997 Compared to Year Ended January 27, 1996
Net sales increased by 6% or $7.5 million, from fiscal 1996 to fiscal 1997.
The increase in net sales reflects the net addition of ten new stores in
fiscal 1997. The Company opened 18 new stores and closed eight stores
(including the three remaining Menswear Mega Centers (MMC) in the Washington,
DC market, three S&K locations which had not met the Company's sales and
profitability expectations and two relocations). Comparable store sales were
up 5%. Sales were positively impacted by strong suit sales and an aggressive
marketing campaign.
Cost of sales in fiscal 1997 was 53.7% of net sales compared to 55.3% of net
sales in fiscal 1996. This 1.6% of net sales reduction was primarily due to a
reduction in lower margin MMC sales this year as the Company closed down that
operation.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1997 were 39.8% of net
sales compared to 38.5% of net sales in fiscal 1996. This 1.3% of net sales
increase was primarily attributable to a reduction in lower overhead MMC
sales, higher advertising costs associated with an aggressive marketing
campaign which was directed at increasing market share and higher compensation
incentives, and to a lesser extent, increased medical claims.
Interest expense was .4% of net sales in fiscal 1997 compared to .6% of net
sales in fiscal 1996. This .2% of net sales decrease resulted from a 34%
reduction in average borrowings from $9.5 million in fiscal 1996 to $6.3
million in fiscal 1997 and a 9% decrease in average borrowing rates.
Other, net consists of other income of 1.2% of net sales in fiscal 1997
compared to other expense of .2% of net sales in fiscal 1996. Fiscal 1997's
other income primarily consists of three non-recurring items: $747,000
($463,000 after tax, or $0.09 per share) gain, net of related expenses and
corporate incentives, associated with the lease buyout of a former MMC
location; $336,000 ($208,000 after tax or $.04 per share) gain, net of related
expenses, associated with the lease buyout of a former S&K store; and $295,000
of non-taxable ($.06 per share) insurance proceeds from a life insurance
policy. Fiscal 1996's other expense included closing costs associated with
nine stores (including two MMC locations in Chicago, Illinois.)
<PAGE>
The effective tax rate decreased to 36.8% in fiscal 1997 from 38.0% in fiscal
1996 and was attributable to the non-taxable, non-recurring insurance proceeds
disclosed in other, net above.
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 reflected 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 was relocated in
Spring 1996. These closed stores had not met the Company's sales and
profitability expectations and included the two MMC locations 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% of net
sales in fiscal 1995. The Company's 14% reduction in average borrowings from
$11.0 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 in fiscal 1995 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.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In fiscal 1997, 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 1997, the Company opened 18 new S&K
stores, converted four existing stores to its superstore format and remodelled
eight other S&K stores. Additionally, the Company closed eight stores
(including the three MMC stores in Washington D.C.). 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 for the last three fiscal years provided net cash of $6.3
million, $7.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The decrease between
fiscal 1997 and 1996 was primarily attributable to higher net income being
more than offset by increased inventory purchases. The increase between fiscal
1996 and 1995 was primarily the result of reduced inventory growth.
Net cash used in investing activities for the last three fiscal years was
primarily for the purpose of store expansion and approximated $2.4 million,
$3.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Fiscal 1996 included two more
stores (one of which was a larger MMC store) and greater remodeling costs than
fiscal 1997.
Net cash used for financing activities for the last three fiscal years was
$3.9 million, $4.0 million and $.4 million, respectively. 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 $25.0 million. The Company has the right at the end of May
1998 to convert the revolving credit agreements into term loans ranging from
three to four years. At the end of fiscal 1997, the Company had $23.0 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
tailored 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 ended January 25, 1997 (fiscal 1997), January 27, 1996
(fiscal 1996) and January 28, 1995 (fiscal 1995) 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 and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
that affect 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.
The Company annually evaluates long-lived assets for any impairment using the
guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121),
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of." This evaluation has not resulted in adjustments to the
Company's results of operations or financial position.
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 costs are expensed in the period in which the advertisement
initially runs. Advertising expense of $10.6 million, $10.0 million and $8.4
million, respectively, was included in selling, general and administrative
expenses in each of the last three fiscal years. Deferred advertising costs
related to future advertising programs included in the balance sheets were
less than $150,000 in each year.
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 quarter ended April 29, 1995, 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 and had not recently
experienced significant inflation in retail prices. 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 results in better matching
of revenues and costs and reporting on a basis more consistent with other
companies in its industry.
The fiscal 1996 change in the method of valuing inventories had been applied
retroactively and the effect on net income decreased amounts previously
reported in fiscal 1995 by $198,100 or $.04 per share. Retained earnings for
fiscal 1995 had been adjusted for the effect (net of income taxes) of applying
the new method of accounting, retroactively.
<PAGE>
The Company capitalizes certain buying, holding and distribution costs to
inventory which at the end of the last three fiscal years were approximately
$2.2 million, $2.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Buying, holding and
distribution costs charged to cost of sales in each of the fiscal years were
approximately $3.5 million, $3.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

</TABLE>
The Company has available an aggregate of $25.0 million from two banks under
its unsecured bank revolving lines of credit. Interest is payable monthly at a
rate equal to the lower of the 30-day Federal Funds Rate plus one percent or
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, 1998 is
convertible to three-or four-year term loans at the banks' prime interest rate
and is payable in monthly installments.
At January 25, 1997, 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 $90,000, $75,000 and
$60,000, respectively, in each of the last three fiscal years.
<PAGE>
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 $60,000, $50,000 and $40,000, respectively, in
each of the last three fiscal years.
The Company has receivables from certain officers in the amount of $436,000,
$345,000 and $327,000, 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 $133,000, $123,000 and $114,000,
respectively, in each of the last three fiscal years.
Note 6 - Stock Option and Stock Purchase Loan Plans:
The Company's stock option plan provides for the granting of up to 650,000
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. The
Company applies the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," in accounting for its stock options. Accordingly, the Company has
not recognized any related compensation expense in its Statements of Income.
Changes in options under the plan for the three years ended January 25, 1997
were as follows:

<PAGE>
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock - Based Compensation", requires the
Company to make certain proforma disclosures as if the fair value based method
of accounting had been applied to the Company's stock option grants made since
January 1995. Accordingly, the Company determined the grant date fair value of
the options granted in fiscal 1996 using the Black - Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of
43%, riskfree interest rate of 6.3% and expected life of four years. Had
compensation cost been determined including the weighted average fair-value of
$3.46 for options granted in fiscal 1996 (which ratably vest over three
years), the Company's proforma net income (and earnings per share) would be
$2,695,000, ($.54) in fiscal 1996 and $4,556,000, ($.90) in fiscal 1997.
Under the Company's Stock Purchase Loan Plan, the Company has loans with
sixteen officers approximating $1.5 million. The Plan annually provides for
reduction of a portion of interest payable on the loans based on meeting
certain operating targets, as well as the opportunity for the officer to
receive a reduction of a portion of the principal balance of the loan if the
officer remains an employee of the Company for seven years and maintains
ownership of the stock. Compensation expense related to this program was
$93,000 and $41,000 for fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. At the end of
fiscal 1997, the Company has accrued interest receivable from these officers
in the amount of $139,000.
