                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (unaudited)

A.    Accounting Policies

      The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared
by S&K Famous Brands, Inc. (the "Company") in accordance with the regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission in regard to quarterly reporting.  In the
opinion of the Company's  management,  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 and 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 first quarter, the Company has opened five new stores
totaling 18,157 square feet, two of which were relocations.

            S&K Store Locations               Date Opened         Square Footage

      South Carolina:      Myrtle Beach*      August 25, 2000         3,179
      Tennessee:           Nashville          May 11, 2000            3,627

      * Store opened in the third quarter.

Since  January  29,  2000 the  Company  has  opened  seven new  stores  totaling
approximately 26,500 square feet.

      During the second quarter the Company closed two under-performing  stores,
Columbus,  Ohio (5,350 sq. ft) and  Kenosha,  Wisconsin  (4,000 sq. ft) as these
stores  had not met the  Company's  sales  and  profitability  expectations.  In
addition, the Company relocated a store in Jacksonville,  Florida (5,200 sq. ft)
and in August relocated a store in Myrtle Beach,  South Carolina (3,200 sq. ft).
Year-to-date, the Company has closed a total of six stores.

</TABLE>

      Net sales in the second  quarter ended July 29 , 2000  increased by 3%, or
$1.2  million,  over the same period last year,  and reflect the net addition of
seven new stores.  For the six-month period,  net sales increased by 4%, or $2.7
million,  over the same period last year.  Comparable store sales for the second
quarter  and the first six  months  were even with the same  periods  last year.
During the second  quarter,  the Company  opened three new stores  including one
relocation and closed two stores which were not meeting the Company's  sales and
earnings  expectations.  There were 240 stores in operation as of July 29, 2000,
compared to 233 stores at July 31, 1999.

      Cost of sales in the second  quarter of fiscal 2001 was 51.6% of net sales
compared to 52.8 % of net sales last year.  For the  six-month  period,  cost of
sales was  50.7% of net sales  compared  to 52.1%  last  year.  The  three-  and
six-month reductions of 1.2% and 1.4% of net sales, respectively, were primarily
a change in the mix of merchandise  sold to inventory with higher initial markup
and, to a lesser extent, not needing to take as many markdowns, both offset to a
small degree by increased inventory shrinkage.

      Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  in the second  quarter of
fiscal  2001 were 45.1% of net sales  compared  to 42.6% of net sales last year.
For the six-month  period,  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were
43.8% of net sales  compared  to 41.4% of net sales  last  year.  The three- and
six-month increases of 2.5% and 2.4% of net sales, respectively,  were primarily
due to higher cost and frequency of advertising related to the Company's heavier
emphasis on marketing which included the launch of a branding message  campaign.
The Company  anticipates that second half fiscal 2001 marketing costs will be in
line with second half fiscal 2000 levels.

      Interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 was .5% of net sales
compared to .8% of net sales for the second quarter last year. For the six-month
period,  interest expense was .4% of net sales compared to .7% of net sales last
year. These reductions of .3% of net sales were primarily  attributable to lower
average  borrowing  levels  this year offset in part by average  interest  rates
which  increased  from 5.4% to 6.9% in the  quarter and from 5.4% to 6.7% in the
first six months.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company  historically has funded its operating  activities,  including
capital  expenditures for the openings of new stores, from internally  generated
funds and from bank borrowings.  The Company plans to open  approximately 15 new
stores  in  fiscal  2001  and  plans  to  close  or  relocate  approximately  15
under-performing  locations.  The Company also expects to continue to repurchase
the  Company's  common stock in the open market.  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.

                                       6
<PAGE>

      Operating  activities during the first six months of fiscal years 2001 and
2000  used  net  cash  of $.5  million  and  $2.2  million,  respectively.  This
fluctuation was primarily  attributable  to higher  leveraging of trade payables
and to a reduction in inventory growth year over year.

      Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2001 was primarily for the
purpose of store expansion and the  development of the Company's  internet store
while fiscal 2000 was primarily for store expansion, re-modelings, and purchases
of upgraded point-of-sale (POS) systems.  Capital expenditures for the first six
months of fiscal years 2001 and 2000 approximated $1.5 million and $2.6 million,
respectively.  In the first six months of fiscal 2001,  the Company  opened five
new stores,  three of which were relocations,  remodeled one store and developed
it's internet  store.  For the same period last year, the Company opened ten new
stores,  converted  one to its  superstore  format,  remodeled  two  others  and
upgraded approximately 100 stores to new POS systems.

      Financing  activities  for the first six  months of fiscal  years 2001 and
2000  provided  net  cash  of  approximately  $1.9  million  and  $4.8  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 $40.0 million. During the quarter ended July 29,
2000, the Company renewed its credit  agreements to May 31, 2003,  which, at the
Company's  option,  are convertible to term loans expiring May 31, 2007.  During
the  first  six  months  of  fiscal  years  2001  and  2000,  the  Company  used
approximately  $2.3 million and $3.3 million,  respectively,  for repurchases of
its common stock. As of July 29, 2000, the Company had net unused commitments of
approximately $27.5 million under its revolving credit agreements.

Item 3.         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ON MARKET RISK

During the first six months of fiscal 2001 there were no material changes in the
Company's  market  risk  exposure  or in  management  strategy  as stated in the
Company's 1999 Annual Report.
