NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION                                                
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  The statements do reflect all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  The statements
should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for the fiscal year ended January 30, 1994 incorporated into the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the thirteen week periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.




- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 2:  EARNINGS PER SHARE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares
and common equivalent shares outstanding.  Common equivalent shares represent
dilutive stock options and restricted stock shares, reduced by the number of
shares which could be repurchased at the average fair market value during the
periods indicated with the proceeds of the options and the income tax savings
available from recognizing compensation expense as a tax deduction.  See
Exhibit 11.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Historically, cash flow from operations has been sufficient to finance the
expansion and operation of Hancock's business.  Hancock's principal capital
requirements are for the financing of inventories and to a lesser extent for
capital expenditures relating to store locations and its warehouse and
distribution facility.  Hancock has also purchased treasury stock.  Funds for
such purposes are generated from Hancock's operations and, if necessary,
supplemented by borrowings from commercial lenders.  During 1994, Hancock plans
to open approximately 20 units and close or relocate a similar number resulting
in no net increase in retail fabric stores.  Inventories and other assets from
closed stores will be redeployed to new openings for more effective utilization
of investment.  During the thirteen weeks ended October 30, 1994, Hancock
opened 7 stores and closed 7 stores, which resulted in a total of 502 stores at
period end.

During the thirteen weeks ended October 30, 1994, accounts payable decreased
due to the timing of payments to vendors and a decrease in inventories.  The
Company currently has $50 million in outstanding debt, down $3 million in the
thirteen week period.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thirteen weeks ended October 30, 1994 compared to thirteen weeks ended
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
October 31, 1993
- ----------------

Sales decreased by 2.5% from the same period of the prior year because of a
decrease of 2.9% in comparable store sales, which was partially offset by sales
from a net increase of six stores opened since the third quarter of 1993.

Net earnings were $3.9 million, or $.18 per share, compared with $3.3 million,
or $.16 per share, for the comparable period of the prior year.  The
improvement in earnings resulted from higher gross margins and a reduction in
the LIFO reserve, offset by the sales decrease mentioned above.

Gross margin as a percent of sales increased to 47.7% from 44.6% in the third
quarter of 1993.  The effect of LIFO for the thirteen weeks ended October 30,
1994 was to increase gross margin by $250 thousand.  For the same period of the
prior year LIFO reduced gross margin by $1.5 million.

Total operating and interest expenses increased as a percentage of sales to
41.0% from 39.3% in the third quarter of 1993 primarily due


                                     -8-
<PAGE>   9
to a lower sales volume.  Operating expenses increased slightly as a result of
six additional stores.  Interest expense was higher than the same quarter last
year due to increased interest rates on the same level of debt.

Thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 1994 compared to thirty-nine weeks ended
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 31, 1993
- ----------------

Sales decreased by 1.5% from the same period of the prior year due to a
decrease in comparable store sales, which was partially offset by sales from a
net increase of six new stores.

Net earnings were $5.8 million compared to $4.2 million in the same period of
the prior year.  The increase was due to the improvement in gross margins and a
lower LIFO charge, partially offset by the decrease in sales mentioned above.

Gross margin increased to 46.2% from 44.2% in the thirty-nine weeks of 1993. 
The effect of LIFO for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 1994 and October
31, 1993 was a decrease in gross margin by $2.25 million and $4.5 million,
respectively.

Total operating and interest expenses as a percentage of sales increased to
42.7% from 41.7% in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to a lower
sales volume.  The net addition of six new stores and higher interest rates,
than a year ago, contributed to the increase in expenses.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EFFECT OF INFLATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The impact of inflation on labor and occupancy costs can significantly affect
Hancock's operations.  Many of Hancock's employees are paid hourly rates
related to the federal minimum wage; accordingly, any increases affect Hancock. 
In addition, payroll taxes, employee benefits and other employee related costs
continue to increase.  Costs of leases for new store locations have stabilized
recently, but renewal costs of older leases are higher.  Taxes, maintenance and
insurance costs have also risen.  Hancock believes that the current practice of
maintaining adequate operating margins through a combination of price
adjustments and cost controls, careful evaluation of occupancy needs and
efficient purchasing practices is the most effective tool for coping with
increasing costs and expenses.

Assuming interest rates remain at or above their current level, the Company
anticipates that interest costs will continue to increase in the near term. 
Additionally, the Company anticipates the impact of LIFO over the short term to
be more favorable to earnings based on a continuation of a low rate of
inflation and other factors that are used to determine LIFO.

SEASONALITY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's business is slightly seasonal.  Peak sales periods occur during
the fall and pre-Easter weeks, while the lowest sales periods occur during
pre-Christmas and mid-summer.
