ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
In large part, changes in net sales and operating results are impacted by the
number of stores operating during the fiscal period. The following information
is provided with respect to stores in operation during each of the respective
fiscal periods. References herein to years are to the Company's 52 - or 53 -
week fiscal year which ends on the Saturday nearest January 31 in the following
calendar year. For example, references to "1997" mean the fiscal year ending
January 31, 1998.

</TABLE>
In May 1997, the Company, through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired
the assets of Walter Pye's Men's Shops, Inc., which operated four weekend-only
stores in the Greater Houston area and one store in each of San Antonio and New
Orleans. Walter Pye's Men's Shops, Inc. operated these six stores under the name
"NAL". The Company operates these stores, along with Value Price Clothing Inc.'s
("VPC") C&R stores and two clearance centers, as the VPC division, selling men's
tailored apparel to the more price sensitive clothing customer.
Results of Operations - Three Months
Net sales in the third quarter of 1997 increased $36.0 million, or 32.7%, over
the prior year due to sales from stores opened after November 2, 1996, sales
from the 17 C&R stores and 6 NAL stores acquired by VPC in January 1997 and May
1997, respectively, and a comparable store sales increase. Comparable store
sales (which are calculated by excluding the net sales of a store for any month
of one period if the store was not open throughout the same month of the prior
year) for the third quarter of 1997 increased 10.8% over the third quarter of
1996. Comparable store sales increased .3% in the third quarter of 1996 over
the third quarter of 1995.
In the third quarter of 1997, gross margin increased by $12.6 million as
compared to the third quarter of 1996 and as a percentage of net sales decreased
from 38.5% to 37.7%. The decline in gross margin percentage resulted principally
from the impact of the lower gross margin realized by the VPC division. The
gross margin in the Company's traditional stores improved as occupancy costs
decreased as a percentage of net sales.
Selling, general and administrative costs for the third quarter of 1997
increased $9.7 million as compared to the third quarter of 1996, yet as a
percentage of net sales decreased from 32.1% to 30.8%. The principal components
of selling, general and administrative costs increased as a result of the
Company's growth. As a percentage of net sales, advertising expense decreased
from 7.0% to 5.6% , store salaries remained flat at 12.6% and other store and
non-store general and administrative costs increased from 12.5% to 12.6%. The
relationship of these components of selling, general and administrative costs to
net sales was favorably impacted by the operations of the VPC division.
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased from $755,000 in the third
quarter of 1996 to $598,000 in the third quarter of 1997. Weighted average
borrowings outstanding, including obligations under capital leases, decreased
from $58.1 million in the third quarter of 1996 to $57.6 million in the third
quarter of 1997, while the weighted average interest rate on outstanding
indebtedness equaled 6.3% for both periods. The effective interest rate includes
commitment fees paid pursuant to the credit agreement (see Liquidity and Capital
Resources) under which there was no indebtedness outstanding in either the third
quarter of 1996 or 1997. Interest expense associated with the 5 1/4% Convertible
Subordinated Notes (see Liquidity and Capital Resources) was offset by interest
income of $164,000 and $310,000 resulting from the investment of excess cash in
short-term securities during the third quarter of 1996 and 1997, respectively.
The effective tax rate remained unchanged between the quarters at approximately
41.3%.
The factors discussed above resulted in net earnings of $5,569,000, or 3.8% of
net sales, for the third quarter of 1997 as compared to $3,744,000, or 3.4% of
net sales, for the third quarter of 1996.
Results of Operations - Nine months
Net sales in the first nine months of 1997 increased $98.0 million, or 31.3%,
over the prior year due to sales from stores opened after November 2, 1996,
sales from the 17 C&R stores and 6 NAL stores acquired by VPC in January 1997
and May 1997, respectively, and a comparable store sales increase. Comparable
store sales for the first nine months of 1997 increased 7.1% over the first nine
months of 1996. Comparable store sales increased 2.8% in the first nine months
of 1996 over the first nine months of 1995.
In the first nine months of 1997, gross margin increased by $34.3 million as
compared to the first nine months of 1996 and as a percentage of net sales
decreased from 38.5% to 37.7%. The decline in gross margin percentage resulted
principally from the impact of the lower gross margin realized by the VPC
division. The gross margin in the Company's traditional stores improved slightly
as product costs and occupancy costs decreased as a percentage of net sales.
Selling, general and administrative costs for the first nine months of 1997
increased $27.2 million as compared to the first nine months of 1996, yet as a
percentage of net sales decreased from 32.1% to 31.0%. The principal components
of selling, general and administrative costs increased as a result of the
Company's growth. As a percentage of net sales, advertising expense decreased
from 6.9% to 6.2% , store salaries decreased from 12.8% to 12.5% and other store
and non-store general and administrative costs decreased from 12.4% to 12.3%.
The relationship of these components of selling, general and administrative
costs to net sales was favorably impacted by the operations of the VPC division.
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased from $1,594,000 in the first
nine months of 1996 to $1,824,000 in the first nine months of 1997. Weighted
average borrowings outstanding, including obligations under capital leases,
increased from $53.5 million in the first nine months of 1996 to $57.7 million
in the first nine months of 1997, while the weighted average interest rate on
outstanding indebtedness decreased from 6.3% to 6.2%. The effective interest
<PAGE> 8
rate includes commitment fees paid pursuant to the credit agreement (see
Liquidity and Capital Resources) under which indebtedness was outstanding for
only a portion of the first nine months of 1996 and no indebtedness was
outstanding during the first nine months of 1997. Interest expense associated
with the 5 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes (see Liquidity and Capital
Resources) was offset by interest income of $926,000 and $877,000 resulting from
the investment of excess cash in short-term securities during the first nine
months of 1996 and 1997, respectively.
The effective tax rate remained unchanged for the nine-month periods at
approximately 41.3%.
The factors discussed above resulted in net earnings of $14,941,000, or 3.6% of
net sales, for the first nine months of 1997 as compared to $10,862,000, or 3.5%
of net sales, for the first nine months of 1996.
<PAGE> 9
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In July 1997, the Company completed a public offering of 2,041,250 shares of
common stock, $.01 par value, at $31.75 per share, of which 1,000,000 shares
were sold by the Company for proceeds, net of offering costs, of $30.0 million.
In March 1996, the Company sold $57.5 million of 5 1/4% Convertible Subordinated
Notes (the "Notes") due 2003. The Notes are convertible into Common Stock at a
conversion price of $34.125 per share. A portion of the net proceeds from the
Notes was used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the second amended and
restated Credit Agreement and the balance has been invested in new stores, the
acquisition of C&R and NAL, licenses, trademarks, short-term interest bearing
securities or otherwise used to minimize borrowings under the second amended and
restated Credit Agreement. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on
March 1 and September 1 of each year.
The change in the Company's cash position during the nine months ended November
1, 1997, resulted from the following combination of factors:
Net proceeds from issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock on July
23, 1997 of approximately $30 million.
Net cash used in operations, principally related to an inventory
increase due to seasonal inventory buildup and the addition of 36
stores opened during the nine months ended November 1, 1997, as well as
the purchase of inventory for stores to be opened in the fourth quarter
of 1997.
Use of cash in connection with capital expenditures related to new
stores opened during the nine months ended, or under construction at,
November 1, 1997, land and building purchased for use by the Company in
connection with various training and meeting functions, employee
retreats and vendor relations and purchases of telecommunication and
computer equipment.
The acquisition of six NAL stores, including inventory and related
intangibles.
On June 2, 1997, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement ("Revised
Credit Agreement") to replace the second amended and restated Credit Agreement
with its bank group that became effective on June 30, 1995. The Revised Credit
Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $125 million through April 30, 2002.
As of December 15, 1997, there was no indebtedness outstanding under the Revised
Credit Agreement.
Advances under the Revised Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to, at the Company's option, (i) the bank's prime rate or (ii) the reserve
adjusted LIBOR rate plus an interest rate margin varying between .875% to
1.375%. The Revised Credit Agreement provides for fees applicable to unused
commitments of .125% to .275% .
The Revised Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive and financial
covenants, including a requirement to maintain a minimum amount of Consolidated
Net Worth (as defined). The Company is also required to maintain certain debt to
cash flow, cash flow coverage and current ratios and must keep its average store
inventories below certain specified amounts. In addition, the Revised Credit
Agreement limits additional indebtedness, creation of liens, Restricted Payments
(as defined) and Investments (as defined). The Revised Credit Agreement
prohibits payment of cash dividends on the Common Stock of the Company. The
Revised Credit Agreement also permits, with certain limitations, the Company to
merge or consolidate with another company, sell or dispose of its property, make
acquisitions, issue options or enter into transactions with affiliates.
The Company anticipates opening a total of approximately 50 new stores in the
current fiscal year, including the 36 stores opened in the first nine months of
1997. The continuing consolidation of the men's tailored clothing industry and
<PAGE> 10
recent financial difficulties of significant menswear retailers may present the
Company with opportunities to acquire retail chains significantly larger than
the Company's past acquisitions. Any such acquisitions may be undertaken as an
alternative to opening new stores. The Company has received, and from time to
time in the past has received, inquiries concerning its interest in possible
acquisitions and has requested information with respect thereto. The Company may
use cash on hand, together with its cash flow from operations and borrowings
under the Revised Credit Agreement, to take advantage of acquisition
opportunities.
The Company is currently conducting an evaluation of the computer hardware and
software needs necessary to productively manage its expected future business
activities. Based on the current plan, it is expected that the related capital
expenditures will approximate $12 million to $17 million over the next 18 to 24
months.
In June 1997, the Company commenced construction of approximately 150,000 square
feet on a six acre tract adjacent to its current distribution facility in
Houston. Including the cost of the land (which was purchased for $700,000 in
1996), fixtures and equipment, these new distribution facilities are estimated
to cost approximately $7.5 million and are expected to be completed after the
end of the current fiscal year.
The Company anticipates that its existing cash and cash flow from operations,
supplemented by borrowings under the Revised Credit Agreement, will be
sufficient to fund its planned store openings, other capital expenditures and
other operating cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
In connection with the Company's direct sourcing program, the Company may enter
into purchase commitments that are denominated in a foreign currency. The
Company generally enters into forward exchange contracts to reduce the risk of
currency fluctuations related to firmly committed and certain other probable,
but not firmly committed, inventory transactions denominated in a foreign
currency. The majority of the forward exchange contracts are with one financial
institution. Therefore, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of
nonperformance by this party. However, due to the creditworthiness of this major
financial institution, full performance is anticipated. The Company may also be
exposed to market risk as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. This
market risk should be substantially offset by changes in the valuation of the
underlying transactions being hedged.
Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share," (SFAS 128), in February 1997. SFAS 128, which is effective for periods
ending after December 15, 1997, establishes standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held
common stock or potential common stock. SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for
computing earnings per share previously found in APB Opinion No. 15 and makes
them comparable to international EPS standards. It replaces the presentation of
primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation
of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities
with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator
and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared
in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully
diluted EPS pursuant to Opinion 15. The Company does not believe that the
adoption of SFAS 128 will have a material effect on the Company's method of
calculation or display of earnings per share amount.
Also in February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure, which establishes standards for disclosing information
about an entity's capital structure. Such SFAS is effective for periods ending
after December 15, 1997. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income, and SFAS 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise
and Related information. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and

displaying of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 131 establishes
standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about
operating segments and related information in interim and annual financial
statements. SFAS No. 130 and 131 are effective for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. These three statements will not have any effect on the
Company's 1997 financial statements, however, management is evaluating what, if
any, additional disclosures may be required when these three statements are
implemented.
