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 and thirty-nine 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. 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 to new openings for more effective utilization
of investment. During the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 1995, Hancock opened
9 stores and closed 7 stores, which resulted in a total of 503 stores at period
end.

During the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 1995, debt increased due to a
seasonal increase in inventories. The Company currently has $48 million in
outstanding debt, or about 33% of total capitalization, compared to $50 million
in the same period last year.  

________________________________________________________________
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
________________________________________________________________

Thirteen weeks ended October 29, 1995 compared to thirteen weeks ended October
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30, 1994
- --------

Sales decreased to $95.9 million from $96.5 million in the same period of the
prior year. An increase of .5% in comparable store sales was offset by lower
sales in 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 $3.4 million, or $.16 per share, compared with $3.9 million,
or $.18 per share, for the comparable period of the prior year. The decline in
earnings resulted from higher SG&A expenses and a higher charge to the LIFO
reserve, but the decrease was partially offset by improved gross margins and
lower interest expenses.
 
                                     -8-
<PAGE>   9

Gross margin as a percent of sales increased to 48.0% from 47.7% in the third
quarter of 1994. The effect of LIFO for the thirteen weeks ended October 30,
1995 was to decrease gross margin by $1.0 million. For the same period of the
prior year, LIFO increased gross margin by $250 thousand.

Total operating and interest expenses increased as a percentage of sales to
42.4% from 41.0% in the third quarter of 1994 primarily due to a lower sales
volume and higher SG&A expenses. Interest expense was lower than the same
quarter last year due to lower interest rates on a lower average level of debt.

Thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 1995 compared to thirty-nine weeks ended
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 30, 1994
- ----------------

Sales decreased to $267.5 million from $271.2 million in the same period of the
prior year due to a .2% decrease in comparable store sales, which was partially
offset by sales from new stores.

Net earnings were $5.5 million compared to $5.8 million in the same period of
the prior year. The decrease was due to the higher SG&A expense and a higher
LIFO charge, partially offset by the improvement in gross margins and lower
interest costs.

Gross margin increased to 47.2% from 46.2% in the thirty-nine weeks of 1994.
The effect of LIFO for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 1995 and October
30, 1994 was a decrease in gross margin by $2.5 million and $2.25 million,
respectively.

Total operating and interest expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to
43.9% from 42.7% in the same period of the prior year due to a lower sales
volume and higher SG&A 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.

                                     -9-
<PAGE>   10

Assuming interest rates remain near their current level, the Company
anticipates that interest costs will continue to decrease in the near term.
Additionally, the Company anticipates the impact of LIFO over the short term to
be unfavorable to earnings based on a continuation of the present 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.
