NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

________________________________________________________________________________
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 for more effective utilization of investments.
During the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 1994, Hancock opened 4 stores and
closed 1 store, which resulted in a total of 502 stores at period end.

During the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 1994, accounts payable and debt
increased due to a seasonal increase in inventories. The Company currently has
$53 million in outstanding borrowings, or about 36% of total capitalization,
compared to $55 in the same period last year.
________________________________________________________________________________
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
________________________________________________________________________________

Thirteen weeks ended July 31, 1994 compared to thirteen weeks ended    
August 1, 1993

Sales decreased 2.1% from the same period of the prior year because of a
decrease of 2.4% in comparable store sales, which was partially offset by sales
from a net increase in stores opened since the second quarter of 1993.

Net earnings were $868 thousand, or $.04 per share, compared with $104
thousand, or less than one cent per share, for the comparable period of the
prior year. The increase in earnings resulted from higher gross margins and a
lower LIFO reserve.

Gross margin, as a percent of sales, increased to 47.9% from 44.9% in the
second quarter of 1993.  The effect of LIFO for the thirteen weeks ended July
31, 1994 and August 1, 1993 was a decrease in gross margin by $1.0 million and
$1.5 million, respectively.

Total operating and interest expenses as a percentage of sales increased to
46.2% from 44.6% in the second quarter of 1993.  The increase is due to
slightly higher selling, general and administrative expenses and lower sales
volume.

<PAGE>   9


Twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 1994  compared to twenty-six weeks 
ended August 1, 1993

Sales decreased by 1.0% over 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 in new stores.

Net earnings were $1.9 million compared to $913 thousand in the comparable
period of the prior year.  The increase was due to higher gross margins which
offset a slight increase in operating expenses.

Gross margin increased to 45.4% from 43.9% in the twenty-six weeks of 1994.
The effect of LIFO for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 1994 and August 1,
1993 was a decrease in gross profit by $2.5 million and $3.0 million,
respectively.

Total operating and interest expense as a percentage of sales increased to
43.7% from 43.1% for the same period of the prior year.  An increase in
selling, administrative, and general expenses caused expense dollars to
increase over the prior year.
________________________________________________________________________________
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.

________________________________________________________________________________
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.
