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 19 new stores
totaling 73,894 square feet as follows:

</TABLE>
Net sales in the third quarter increased by 4%, or $1.4 million, over the
same period last year and reflects the net addition of 18 new stores since
October 25, 1997. Comparable store sales decreased 3% and were impacted in part
by reduced customer traffic resulting from two major hurricanes and uncertainty
about the economy. For the nine-month period, net sales increased by 8%, or $8.1
million over the same period last year. Comparable store sales for the nine
months were down 1% due mostly to the opening of the majority of new stores over
the last 18 months in existing markets. During the quarter ended October 31,
1998, the Company opened seven new stores. There were 224 total stores in
operation as of October 31, 1998, compared to 206 stores at October 25, 1997.
Cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 was 50.8% of net sales
compared to 51.8% of net sales for the third quarter last year. This cost
reduction as a percentage of net sales was due to taking fewer markdowns as a
percentage of net sales and due to higher capitalization of buying and
distribution costs in inventory, in part due to lower than expected sales in the
quarter. For the nine-month period, cost of sales was 51.9% of net sales
compared to 52.5% of net sales last year, and was due to taking fewer markdowns
as a percentage of net sales and to greater leverage of central office and
distribution center expenses related to buying and processing merchandise.

<PAGE>
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of
fiscal 1999 were 43.6% of net sales compared to 42.8% of net sales for the third
quarter of fiscal 1998. This increase in the quarter as a percentage of sales is
mostly attributable to incurring planned rent, advertising and store payroll
costs while sales were less than planned. For the nine-month period, selling,
general and administrative expenses were 40.9% of net sales versus 41.1% of net
sales in the same period last year. This 0.2% of net sales improvement in the
nine-month period was due to the leverage the Company experienced in the first
six months of the year in fixed expenses and due to increased alteration net
income, offset in part by higher rent expenses as a percentage of net sales.
Interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 was 0.7% of net sales
compared to 0.4% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1998. For the
nine-month period, interest expense was 0.5% of net sales compared to 0.4% of
net sales last year. These increases are primarily attributable to higher
average borrowings this year.
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 1999, the Company
opened 18 new S&K stores, closed five stores (two of which were relocations),
converted one store to the superstore format and remodeled 16 other stores. In
the comparable fiscal 1998 period, the Company opened 18 new stores, closed six
stores (three of which were relocations), converted one store to the superstore
format and remodeled 14 other stores. Since the end of the fiscal 1999 third
quarter, the Company has opened 12 new S&K stores. 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 during the first nine months of fiscal years 1999 and
1998 used net cash of $9.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively. This
fluctuation is due primarily to reduced accounts payable balances resulting from
earlier payments than in the prior year on inventory purchases and due to the
timing of inventory purchases associated with new stores.
Net cash used in investing activities is primarily for the purpose of
store expansion and remodelings. Capital expenditures approximated $3.6 million
and $4.1 million during the first nine months of fiscal 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Expenditures last year were higher primarily due to the purchase
of land and construction for an owned superstore location.
Financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal years 1999 and
1998 provided net cash of $13.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively.
Financing activities primarily relate to fluctuations in the borrowing levels
under the Company's revolving credit agreements which have an aggregate
borrowing capacity of $30.0 million. Additionally, the Company used
approximately $395,000 and $766,000 in fiscal years 1999 and 1998, respectively,
for the repurchase of its common stock. As of October 31, 1998, the Company had
net unused commitments of approximately $14.7 million available under these
agreements.
On November 30, 1998, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
approved a discretionary program to repurchase up to $2.5 million worth of
shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. The program is to be funded by
available cash balances and bank borrowings.

OTHER MATTERS
Year 2000
Since 1997, the Company has been following a plan designed to ensure that
all of its computer systems will be Year 2000 compliant in advance of December
31, 1999. This plan incorporates the Company's mainframe hardware and back
office systems, personal computers, point-of-sale equipment, distribution center
systems, phone and security systems and other non-critical applications.
Ensuring Year 2000 compliance is currently expected to require modifications to
existing software costing approximately $100,000, most of which has been spent
as of October 31, 1998, and was anticipated within the Company's budget.
The Company has tested Year 2000 changes as system modifications have been
completed and brought on line. The Company expects to have completed (tested and
installed) its required internal modifications by January 1999.
The Year 2000 issue may impact vendors that provide products or services
to the Company. The Company has circulated a business partner survey and is in
the process of evaluating responses. This survey will assist the Company in
assessing its vendors' readiness and enable the Company to prepare appropriate
contingency plans.
