                          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 second quarter, the Company has opened nine new stores
totaling approximately 37,000 square feet, three of which were relocations.

** Relocated store

Since January 29, 2000 the Company has opened 14 new stores totaling
approximately 56,500 square feet.

   During the third quarter the Company relocated two stores, one in Birmingham,
Alabama (4,000 sq. ft.) and one in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (4,000 sq. ft.)
and closed a store in Nashville, Tennessee (3,000 sq. ft.).  Also, in mid
November, the Company relocated a store in Roanoke, Virginia (4,100 sq. ft.),
and closed it's stores in Marco Isle, Florida (3,100 sq. ft.) and Fort Worth,
Texas (4,700 sq. ft.) because they had not met the Company's sales and
profitability expectations.

</TABLE>

   Net sales in the third quarter were approximately equal with the net sales of
same period last year and reflect the net addition of four new stores since
October 30, 1999.  Comparable store sales for the quarter decreased 3%.  For the
nine-month period, net sales increased by 2%, or $2.8 million over the same
period last year.  Comparable store sales for the nine months decreased 1%.
During the third quarter, the Company opened seven new stores, two of which were
relocations and closed one store which was not meeting the Company's sales and
earnings expectations.  There were 244 stores in operation as of October 28,
2000, compared to 240 stores at October 30, 1999.

   Cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2001 was 49.7% of net sales
compared to 50.8% of net sales for the third quarter last year.  This 1.1% of
net sales reduction was primarily due to a change in the mix of merchandise sold
to inventory with higher initial markup offset to a small degree by increased
freight activity and inventory shrinkage.  For the nine-month period, cost of
sales was 50.4% of net sales compared to 51.7% of net sales last year.  The
nine-month 1.3% of net sales reduction was primarily due to 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 third quarter of fiscal
2001 were 46.0% of net sales compared to 45.0% of net sales last year.  This
1.0% of net sales increase is attributable to increased store occupancy and
supervision costs and higher than planned group health insurance claims.  For
the nine-month period, selling, general and administrative expenses were 44.5%
of net sales versus 42.6% of net sales last year.  This 1.9% of net sales
increase in the year-to-date period was primarily due to higher cost and
frequency of advertising in the first six months related to the Company's
heavier emphasis on marketing which included the launch of a branding message
campaign.  The company's third quarter marketing costs were in-line with the
levels of the third quarter last year.  To a lesser degree, the year-to-date
increase is attributable to higher store occupancy and supervision costs.

   Interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 was 0.7% of net sales
compared to 0.8% of net sales last year.  For the nine-month period, interest
expense was 0.5% of net sales compared to 0.7% of net sales last year.  These
reductions of 0.1% and 0.2% of net sales, respectively, were primarily
attributable to lower average borrowing levels this year offset in part by
average interest rates which increased from 5.7% to 7.0% in the third quarter
and from 5.5% to 6.8% in the first nine months.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   The Company historically 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 2001,
the Company opened 12 new stores, four of which were relocations.  The Company
also expects to continue to repurchase it'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.

   Operating activities provided net cash of $.7 million during the first nine
months of fiscal year 2001 while it used net cash of $1.7 million in the
comparable period last year.  This fluctuation is primarily attributable to
higher leveraging of trade payables.

   Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2001 was primarily for the
purpose of store expansion, remodeling and the development of the Company's
internet store.  Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2000 was
primarily for store expansion, remodelings and purchases of upgraded point-of-
sale (POS) systems.  Capital expenditures approximated $2.3 million and $3.7
million during the first nine months of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively.  In
the first nine months of fiscal 2001, the Company opened 12 new stores, four of
which were relocations, remodeled four stores and developed it's internet store.
For the same period last year, the Company opened 18 new stores, converted one
to it's superstore format, remodeled three others and upgraded approximately 150
stores to its new POS systems.

   Financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal years 2001 and 2000
provided net cash of $1.1 million and $5.2 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.  In May, 2000, the Company renewed its credit agreements to
May 31, 2003, which, at the Company's option, are then convertible to term loans
expiring May 31, 2007.  During the first nine months of fiscal years 2001 and
2000, the Company repurchased approximately $3.8 million and $3.5 million,
respectively, of its common stock.  As of October 28, 2000, the Company had net
unused commitments of approximately $26.7 million under its revolving credit
agreements.

Item 2.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ON MARKET RISK

   During the first nine 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.
