                          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.  These  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's 1999 Annual report & Form 10-K.

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 13 new stores
totaling 47,886 square feet as follows:

</TABLE>
      Net sales in the third quarter increased by 6%, or $2.1 million,  over the
same  period last year and  reflects  the net  addition  of 16 new stores  since
October 31, 1998. For the nine-month  period, net sales increased by 6%, or $6.6
million over the same period last year.  Comparable  store sales for the quarter
decreased  1% and for the nine months were down 1% due  primarily  to  continued
reduction of customer  traffic in a group of outlet  stores,  lower than planned
sales in sportscoats and the openings of new stores in existing markets.  During
the quarter ended October 30, 1999, the Company  opened eight new stores.  There
were 240 total  stores in  operation  as of October  30,  1999,  compared to 224
stores at October 31, 1998.

      Cost of sales in the third quarters ended October 30, 1999 and October 31,
1998 were 50.8% of net sales. For the nine-month period, cost of sales was 51.7%
of net sales  compared to 51.9% of net sales last year,  and this change was due
to the combined  effects of taking fewer  markdowns as a percentage of net sales
and improved initial mark-up on merchandise sold.

      Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses in the third quarter ended
October 30, 1999 were 45.0% of net sales  compared to 43.6% of net sales for the
same  quarter  last  year.  For the  nine-month  period,  selling,  general  and
administrative expenses were 42.6% of net sales versus 40.9% of net sales in the
same period last year.  Higher  percentages of net sales  variances in the third
quarter and the nine-month  period of 1.4% and 1.7%,  respectively,  were due to
incurring  planned store payroll and rent costs while sales were less than plan,
and to a lesser degree, higher group health claims.

      Interest  expense in the third  quarter of this year was 0.8% of net sales
compared  to 0.6% of net  sales  for the  same  quarter  of last  year.  For the
nine-month  period,  interest  expense was 0.7% of net sales compared to 0.5% 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 ended October 30, 1999, the
Company opened 18 new S&K stores, closed ten under-performing  stores, converted
one  store  to the  superstore  format  and  remodeled  several  others.  In the
comparable  prior year  period,  the Company  opened 18 new stores,  closed five
stores (two of which were  relocations),  converted one store to the  superstore
format and remodeled 16 others.  Since October 30, 1999,  the Company has opened
five new stores.  The Company believes that its sources of liquidity and capital
resources  will  continue  to be  sufficient  to fund  its  operations,  capital
expenditures and stock repurchase initiatives.

      Operating  activities  during the nine months  ended  October 30, 1999 and
1998  used  net  cash of $1.7  million  and  $9.5  million,  respectively.  This
fluctuation is due primarily to increased  accounts payable  balances  resulting
from earlier  payments in the prior year on inventory  purchases  and due to the
timing of inventory purchases.

      Net cash used in  investing  activities  is  primarily  for the purpose of
store expansion and remodeling.  Capital expenditures  approximated $3.7 million
and $3.6  million  during  the  nine  months  ended  October  30,  1999 and 1998
respectively.  In the first nine months of this year,  the Company opened 18 new
stores, converted one store to its superstore format, remodeled three others and
converted  approximately 150 stores to its new POS register. For the same period
last  year,  the  Company  opened  18 new  stores,  converted  one  store to its
superstore format,  remodeled 16 others and converted approximately 70 stores to
its new POS register.

      Financing  activities  for the nine months ended October 30, 1999 and 1998
provided net cash of $5.2  million and $13.0  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.  During the first nine months of fiscal  years 2000 and 1999,
the Company used  approximately $3.5 million and $.4 million  respectively,  for
the repurchase of its common stock.  As of October 30, 1999, the Company had net
unused  commitments  of  approximately   $10.9  million  available  under  these
agreements.


OTHER MATTERS

Year 2000 (Y2K)

Since 1997,  the Company has followed a  comprehensive  plan  designed to ensure
that all of its computer  systems are Year 2000 compliant in advance of December
31,  1999.  Because of the  substantial  use of computers  and embedded  systems
throughout the Company's  business and the business of its vendors,  if failures
occur;  they could have a material  impact.  The Company's plan has incorporated
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. Preparation for Y2K compliance has required
modifications to existing software costing less than $100,000, most of which was
spent in 1998.  The Company has  completed its testing and  installation  of Y2K
changes on all internal systems and believes it is Y2K compliant.

                                       7

      The Y2K issue may impact vendors that provide  products or services to the
Company. The Company has circulated a business partner survey to its significant
vendors and has  evaluated  responses.  The Company's  significant  vendors have
responded that they believe themselves to be Y2K ready.

      In the opinion of management,  the most likely worst-case  scenario of the
failure of the Company or its vendors to be Y2K compliant would be the inability
to obtain or distribute  products from significant  vendors.  This would require
the  Company  to  seek  alternative   sources  which  could  have  gross  margin
implications.
