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 29, 1995 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.

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 and paid
dividends to shareholders.  Funds for such purposes are generated from
Hancock's operations and, if necessary, supplemented by borrowings from
commercial lenders.  During 1995, 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 30, 1995, Hancock opened 4 stores and closed 3 stores, which
resulted in a total of 501 stores at period end.

During the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 1995, accounts payable and debt
increased due to a seasonal increase in inventories. The Company currently has
$43 million in outstanding borrowings, or about 31% of total capitalization,
compared to $53 million in the same period last year.  

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

Thirteen weeks ended July 30, 1995 compared to thirteen weeks ended    
July 31, 1994

Sales decreased to $81.5 million from $81.8 million in the same period of the
prior year. An increase of .5% in comparable store sales  was offset by lower
sales in twenty new stores opened less than one year which have not yet reached
sufficient sales maturity to offset the sales of the older stores that were
replaced.

Net earnings were $843 thousand, or $.04 per share, compared with $868
thousand, or $.04 per share, in the comparable period of the prior year. The
decrease in earnings resulted from the lower sales volume.


                                     -8-
<PAGE>   9

Gross margin, as a percent of sales, increased to 48.1% from 47.9% in the
second quarter of 1994.  The effect of LIFO for the thirteen weeks ended July
30, 1995 and July 31, 1994 was a decrease in gross margin by $750 thousand and
$1.0 million, respectively.

Total operating and interest expenses as a percentage of sales increased to
46.4% from 46.2% in the second quarter of 1994.  The increase is due to
slightly higher selling, general and administrative expenses and the lower
sales volume.


Twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 1995 compared to twenty-six weeks ended 
July 31, 1994

Sales decreased by 1.8% over the same period of the prior year due to  a .6%
decrease in comparable store sales and the replacement of 20 older stores with
21 new stores that have not yet reached sales maturity.

Net earnings were $2.1 million compared to $1.9 million in the comparable
period of the prior year.  The increase was due to higher gross margins which
offset a slight increase in operating expenses and a lower LIFO charge than in
the same period last year.

Gross margin increased to 46.7% from 45.4% in the twenty-six weeks of 1995.
The effect of LIFO for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 1995 and July 31,
1994 was a decrease in gross profit by $1.5 million and $2.5 million,
respectively.

Total operating and interest expense as a percentage of sales increased to
44.7% from 43.7% for the same period of the prior year due to slightly higher
selling, general and administrative, expenses and the lower sales volume.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Federal minimum wage hikes would have an adverse effect on earnings although
the impact cannot be readily quantified.  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




                                     -9-
<PAGE>   10

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.
