NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
One Price Clothing Stores, Inc. and Subsidiary

September 30, 1995

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  condensed  consolidated financial statements are unaudited and
include the accounts of One Price  Clothing  Stores,  Inc. and its  wholly-owned
subsidiary  (the   "Company").   All  significant   intercompany   accounts  and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These  financial  statements  have been  prepared in accordance  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  for  interim  financial  information  and  the
instructions  of  Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
for complete financial statements.

For interim reporting,  the Company uses an estimated gross profit as calculated
on a current  quarterly basis by its inventory  management  system. At year-end,
inventories are stated at the lower of average unit cost or market. Average unit
cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Therefore, there is
no assurance that a final  determination  of annual gross profit will not result
in a significant impact on the fourth quarter results of operations.

In the opinion of management,  all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring
accruals) considered  necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Due
to the seasonality of the Company's sales, operating results for the three-month
and nine-month  periods ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily  indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending  December 30, 1995.  For
further  information,  refer to the financial  statements and footnotes  thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1994.

Certain  previously  reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.

NOTE B -- SALE / LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

All costs of acquisition  and  construction  of property and equipment which the
Company  intends  to sell and lease  back  within  one year are  accumulated  in
current assets until such property and equipment is sold.



<PAGE>


NOTE C -- CREDIT FACILITIES

Effective June 30, 1995, the Company's credit facility  agreement was amended to
convert the $25,000,000  line of credit facility to a $19,000,000 line of credit
and a $6,000,000  term loan  facility.  Borrowings  against these amended credit
facilities are secured by the land,  building and  improvements at the Corporate
Office and Distribution Center. Under the amended agreement,  borrowings against
the line of credit bear interest at the Company's option of a Base Rate (defined
as the higher of the Bank's prime  interest  rate or the Federal Funds rate plus
0.50%) or the  adjusted  LIBOR rate plus  1.50%.  The term loan bears  interest,
payable  quarterly,  at the Company's option of the Base Rate, as defined above,
plus 1.0% or the adjusted  LIBOR rate plus 2.50%.  The principal  balance on the
term loan is payable in 12 consecutive  quarterly  installments of $500,000 each
commencing  December 31, 1995. The amended  credit  facilities  contain  certain
covenants  which,  among  other  things,  restrict  or limit the  ability of the
Company to incur  indebtness,  or  encumber or dispose of assets,  requires  the
Company to reduce the  outstanding  balance on the line of credit to zero for at
least  thirty  consecutive  days  during  the term of the  agreement  and limits
capital  expenditures.  In addition,  the Company may not  repurchase its Common
Stock or pay  dividends  without prior  approval.  The Company was in compliance
with the covenants at September 30, 1995.


NOTE D -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common
and  common  equivalent  shares   outstanding.   Common  equivalent  shares  are
represented by shares under option.


NOTE E -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Two lawsuits filed by shareholders  in September 1994 making certain  securities
and common law allegations and seeking  unspecified  damages against the Company
and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer were dismissed by the court on July
10, 1995. The dismissal was not appealed and the lawsuits are ended.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

Board of Directors
One Price Clothing Stores, Inc.


We have reviewed the accompanying  condensed  consolidated balance sheets of One
Price Clothing  Stores,  Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") as of September 30,
1995 and  October 1, 1994,  the related  condensed  consolidated  statements  of
operations  for the  three-month  and  nine-month  periods  then ended,  and the
related  condensed  consolidated  statements  of cash  flows for the  nine-month
periods then ended.  These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A review  of  interim  financial
information consists principally of applying analytical  procedures to financial
data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  the  objective  of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material  modifications that should
be made to such condensed  consolidated  financial  statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have  previously  audited,  in accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of One Price Clothing Stores, Inc. and
subsidiary as of December 31, 1994, and the related  consolidated  statements of
income,  shareholders'  equity,  and cash  flows  for the year then  ended  (not
presented herein);  and in our report dated February 10, 1995 (February 28, 1995
as  to  Note  B),  we  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  those  financial
statements.  In our  opinion,  the  information  set  forth in the  accompanying
condensed  consolidated  balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 is fairly stated,
in all material  respects,  in relation to the  consolidated  balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995 increased approximately
13% to $74,307,000  from $65,877,000 for the same quarter ended October 1, 1994.
Net sales for the  nine-month  period ended  September 30, 1995  increased 5% to
$215,593,000  compared to $204,450,000 for the same period last year. Comparable
store sales decreased 4% for the quarter and decreased 13% year-to-date compared
to the same periods last year. The Company  considers  stores that are 18 months
or older as comparable, and there were 513 such stores at September 30, 1995.

Management  believes  that sales  during the first  nine  months of fiscal  1995
reflect the ongoing  softness in the women's apparel  market.  Sales thus far in
the fourth quarter continue to reflect these weakened market conditions.

Eleven new stores were opened  during the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and seven
under- performing stores were closed.  For the nine-month period ended September
30, 1995, the Company opened 66 new stores and closed 23 underperforming stores.
At September 30, 1995,  the Company  operated 684 stores in a total of 28 states
and Puerto  Rico.  The Company  anticipates  opening a net of  approximately  60
stores  during  fiscal  1995 which  should  bring the total  number of stores to
approximately 700 by year end.

The  Company's  sales and operating  results are seasonal,  as is typical in the
women's retail apparel  industry.  The Company's  sales  historically  have been
lowest  during the first  quarter  (January - March) and third  quarter  (July -
September)  and  highest  during  the second  quarter  (April - June) and fourth
quarter  (October  -  December).  Reduced  sales  volumes in the first and third
quarters  coincide  with the  transition  of  seasonal  merchandise.  Therefore,
increased  levels of  markdowns  occur during these  transitional  periods,  and
operating  expenses,  when expressed as a percentage of net sales, are typically
higher.

Gross margin increased to 39.9% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1995
as compared to 36.0% of net sales for the  comparable  quarter  ended October 1,
1994.  Gross margin  increased to 40.3% of net sales for the  nine-month  period
ended  September 30, 1995 from 39.8% of net sales for the same period last year.
The increase in gross margin as a percentage  of net sales for the third quarter
was primarily the result of improved  initial  markups and a slight  decrease in
markdowns.  This net decrease in markdowns in the third quarter of 1995 was due,
in part, to taking certain  markdowns  planned for July (third  quarter) in June
(second  quarter) and the  additional  markdowns  required in 1994's  comparable
quarter to clear  slow-moving  inventory.  The  increase in gross margin for the
nine-month period ending September 30, 1995 was due primarily to the increase in
initial markups while markdowns were relatively flat compared to last year.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses increased as a percentage of net
sales to 32.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 from 31.2% in the same period
of fiscal 1994.  For the first nine months of fiscal 1995  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses increased to 31.4% of net sales from 28.8% of net sales
for the comparable  period of fiscal 1994.  These increases in selling,  general
and  administrative  expenses  expressed  as  a  percentage  of  net  sales  are
principally  due to the lower  average store sales  volumes  experienced  in the
third quarter and  nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 1995 compared to the
same periods last year.  Average per store selling,  general and  administrative
expenses have remained  relatively  stable  compared to last year. The Company's
total  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses per average  store in the
third quarter ended  September 30, 1995 increased  approximately  1% compared to
the same  period  last  year  and,  such  expenses  per  average  store  for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1995, decreased  approximately 2% compared
to the same period last year.

Store rent expense  increased as a percentage  of net sales to 8.4% in the third
quarter  of fiscal  1995 from 7.9% in the same  period of fiscal  1994.  For the
first nine months of fiscal 1995,  store rent  expense  increased to 8.5% of net
sales  compared to 7.1% of net sales for the  comparable  period of fiscal 1994.
Lower sales volumes during such periods increased rent expense when expressed as
a percentage  of net sales.  Rent  expense per average  store in dollars for the
third quarter and nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 1995 increased 4% and
7%, respectively,  compared to the same periods of fiscal 1994. The increases in
average store rent are due to the impact of entering into leases in larger, more
costly urban and  metropolitan  markets,  closing older  underperforming  stores
which had lower  average  costs,  and  increases in lessor  operating  costs and
property taxes which are passed on to the Company.

Depreciation and amortization  expense  increased  slightly to 1.5% of net sales
for the third  quarter of 1995  compared  to 1.4% for the same  period in fiscal
1994,  and  increased  to 1.4% of net  sales  for the  nine-month  period  ended
September 30, 1995 compared to 1.2% for the same period in fiscal 1994.

The  Company's  effective  tax rate for  fiscal  1994 was 38.5%.  The  Company's
estimated  annual  effective  tax rate for fiscal 1995 is 39%.  The  increase in
fiscal 1995's  estimated  annual effective tax rate compared to 1994's effective
tax rate is primarily  related to the  expiration of the Federal Jobs Tax Credit
program and an increase in the effective state income tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first nine months of fiscal 1995,  operating activities used a net of
$4,340,000  compared to  $6,187,000  used during the first nine months of fiscal
1994. During both periods,  this use of cash was primarily the result of the net
change in  operating  assets and  liabilities  which  included  an  increase  in
merchandise inventories and a decrease in federal and state income taxes payable
which were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.



<PAGE>


Total  inventories  at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and 1994 were
$36,111,000 and  $33,472,000,  respectively.  Total  inventories at December 31,
1994 were  $26,337,000.  The level of  inventories  are subject to  fluctuations
because of the Company's  opportunistic  buying strategy and prevailing business
conditions. The above amounts represent total inventory,  whether located at the
stores,  in the Distribution  Center,  or in-transit.  The average inventory per
store was  approximately  $53,000 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1995
compared  to  $55,000  at the end of the  third  quarter  of fiscal  1994,  a 4%
decrease.   This  decrease  in  average  per  store  inventories  resulted  from
management's efforts to adjust inventory levels in response to sales trends. The
average  inventory  per store was  approximately  $41,000 at December  31, 1994.
Typically,  the average inventory per store is at its lowest level at the end of
the Company's fiscal year.

The total of accounts  payable and the note payable under the Company's  line of
credit at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and 1994, were $22,679,000
and $14,427,000,  respectively.  In comparison, the total of accounts payable at
December  31,  1994 was  $6,470,000  and no  amount  was  outstanding  under the
Company's  available line of credit.  The level of accounts payable and the note
payable  is subject  to  fluctuations  because  of  seasonality,  the  Company's
opportunistic buying strategy and prevailing business  conditions.  The increase
in the  accounts  payable and the note payable is also due to funding new stores
construction,  the Distribution  Center expansion and the operating loss for the
first  nine  months of fiscal  1995,  as well as the  decrease  in cash and cash
equivalents available at December 31, 1994 compared to January 1, 1994.

During the first nine months of fiscal  1995, a net of  $10,253,000  was used in
investing  activities-  primarily to purchase property and equipment and to make
purchases in  anticipation  of sale / leaseback  arrangements.  The property and
equipment  purchases  consisted   principally  of  leasehold   improvements  and
equipment  for the  sixty-six  new  stores  opened  during  the period and costs
associated  with  the  expansion  of  the  Distribution  Center.  The  purchases
associated with the sale / leaseback  arrangements were for Distribution  Center
equipment.  In fiscal 1995, the Company plans to spend approximately $10 million
(net of sale / leaseback proceeds) on capital expenditures.

During the first nine months of fiscal  1994,  a net of  $8,512,000  was used in
investing activities, primarily to purchase leasehold improvements and equipment
for  ninety-four  new stores opened during the period and costs  associated with
the expansion of the Distribution Center.

The  exercise of Common Stock  options  pursuant to the  Company's  stock option
plans  provided cash of $63,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1995 compared
to $854,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1994.

The Company  executed an agreement in March 1995 with its bank that provided for
a  $25,000,000  line of credit  and a  $15,000,000  letter  of  credit  facility
expiring May 31, 1996. This agreement replaced the Company's $20,000,000 line of
credit and $10,000,000 letter of credit facility with that bank.  Effective June
30, 1995, the agreement was amended to convert the $25,000,000 line of credit to
a $19,000,000  line of credit and a $6,000,000  term loan  facility.  Borrowings
against these amended credit  facilities  are secured by the land,  building and
improvements at the Corporate Office and Distribution  Center. Under the amended
agreement,  borrowings against the line of credit bear interest at the Company's
option of a Base Rate (defined as the higher of the Agent Bank's prime  interest
rate or the  Federal  Funds  rate plus  0.50%) or the  adjusted  LIBOR rate plus
1.50%. The term loan bears interest,  payable quarterly, at the Company's option
of the Base Rate, as defined  above,  plus 1.0% or the adjusted  LIBOR rate plus
2.50%.  The  principal  balance on the term loan is  payable  in 12  consecutive
quarterly  installments  of $500,000  each  commencing  December 31,  1995.  The
amended credit facilities  contain certain covenants which,  among other things,
restrict or limit the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness,  or encumber
or dispose of assets,  requires the Company to reduce the outstanding balance on
the line of credit to zero for at least thirty  consecutive days during the term
of the agreement and limits capital expenditures.  In addition,  the Company may
not repurchase  its Common Stock or pay dividends  without prior  approval.  The
Company was in compliance with the covenants at September 30, 1995.

At September 30, 1995,  the Company had  $6,000,000  outstanding  under the term
loan and  $10,473,000  was  outstanding  under  the line of credit  compared  to
$5,457,000  at the end of the same period of fiscal  1994.  The maximum  amounts
outstanding  under the line of credit  during the third  quarters of fiscal 1995
and 1994,  respectively,  were  $11,219,000 and $5,726,000.  The average amounts
outstanding under the line of credit were $8,615,000 during the third quarter of
fiscal 1995 and $748,000  during the third quarter of fiscal 1994.  The weighted
average  interest rates were 8.1% and 7.8% for the third quarters of fiscal 1995
and 1994, respectively.

During the first nine months of fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively,  the maximum
amounts outstanding under the line of credit were $20,689,000 (incurred prior to
the June 30, 1995  restructuring of the credit  facilities) and $5,726,000.  The
average amounts outstanding under the line of credit were $12,666,000 during the
first nine  months of fiscal 1995 and  $477,000  during the first nine months of
fiscal 1994.  The weighted  average  interest  rates were 8.2% and 6.7 % for the
first nine months of fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $12,517,000
at  September  30,  1995.  Letters  of credit  are used  primarily  to  purchase
merchandise  from foreign  suppliers.  All such purchases are paid for in United
States dollars; thus, the Company is not subject to foreign currency risks.

Management believes that the Company's needs for operating capital and funds for
capital  expenditures for fiscal 1995 should be satisfied by its cash flows from
operations and through the use of its available line of credit,  long-term debt,
capital leases and operating leases.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

On September 22, 1994,  two separate  lawsuits  making  certain  securities  and
common law allegations and seeking  unspecified damages were filed in the United
States  District  Court for the District of South  Carolina,  Columbia  Division
