                                   (Unaudited)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information  and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly,  they do not
include all of the  information  and  footnotes  required by generally  accepted
accounting  principles  for  complete  financial  statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the
three month  periods are not  necessarily  indicative of the results that may be
expected for the entire year.  For further  information,  refer to the financial
statements and footnotes  thereto included in the Stein Mart, Inc. annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 1995.

COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE

      In February 1996,  the Board of Directors  authorized the repurchase of an
additional  500,000  shares of the  Company's  common  stock in the open market,
bringing the total repurchases  authorized to 1,000,000 shares. During the three
months  ended  March 30,  1996,  the  Company  repurchased  255,000  shares  for
$2,334,000.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Net income  (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income  (loss) by
the  weighted  average  number of shares of common  stock  outstanding  plus the
common stock equivalents related to stock options for each period.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Three  stores were opened and one store was closed  during the first  quarter of
this year,  bringing to 102 the number of stores in operation this year compared
to 81 stores in operation at the end of the first quarter of 1995.

Net sales for the  quarter  ended March 30,  1996 were  $108.5  million,  a 23.7
percent  increase  over  the  $87.7  million  for the  first  quarter  of  1995.
Comparable store net sales increased 3.2 percent from the first quarter of 1995.

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 30, 1996 increased to $24.9 million,  a
30.5  percent  increase  over the $19.1  million for the first  quarter of 1995.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased 1.2 percent to 22.9 percent for
the first  quarter this year from 21.7 percent for the first  quarter last year.
This  increase  resulted  primarily  from a slight  improvement  in  markup  and
somewhat  lower  markdowns,  partially  offset by a small  increase in occupancy
costs.

For the  quarter  ended  March 30,  1996  selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses  were $27.2  million,  or 25.0 percent of net sales,  compared to $22.1
million,  or 25.3  percent  of net  sales for the same  1995  quarter.  The $5.1
million increase in selling,  general and  administrative  expenses is primarily
due to the  additional  stores in operation  during the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to the number of stores in operation  during the first quarter of 1995.
The  decrease of 0.3  percent of sales  resulted from leveraging  of selling
general and administrative expenses.

Other income, primarily from in-store leased shoe departments, increased to $1.6
million for the first  quarter of 1996  compared  to $1.2  million for the first
quarter of 1995.  The increase  resulted  from the  additional  stores  operated
during the quarter this year and from the  fragrance  department  which became a
leased operation at the beginning of the second quarter of 1995.

Interest expense was $282,000 for the first quarter of 1996 and $149,000 for the
first quarter of 1995. The $133,000  increase in interest  expense resulted from
increased  borrowings for working capital for the additional  stores,  partially
offset by lower interest rates than were in effect last year.

The effective tax rate of 39.0 percent  remained  constant for the first quarter
of both years.

The net loss for the first  quarter of 1996 was $564,000 or $0.02 loss per share
compared  to a net loss of $1.3  million  or $0.05  loss per share for the first
quarter of 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operating  activities  was $27.0  million and $32.8 million for
the first quarters of 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  During the first quarter of
both  years  inventory  levels  were  increased  to  provide  inventory  for the
additional stores in operation and for the Easter selling season.  Cash was used
to reduce the net amount of current  liabilities by $1.7 in the first quarter of
1996 and $14.0  million in the first quarter of 1995.  Based on historical  cash
flow results,  operating  activities are expected to produce  positive cash flow
for the year ending December 28, 1996.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

During  the first  three  months of 1996 and 1995,  cash flow used in  investing
activities was $3.3 million and $2.4 million  respectively,  for  acquisition of
fixtures,  equipment,  and leasehold  improvements  for new stores,  information
system   enhancements  and  improvements  to  existing  stores.   Total  capital
expenditures for 1996 are projected to be approximately $15.0 million.

Cash flow from  financing  activities was $23.2 million for the first quarter of
1996 and $20.1  million for the first  quarter of 1995 which  reflected  in both
periods net borrowing  under the Company's  revolving  credit  agreement to meet
seasonal working capital  requirements.  Also,  during this year's first quarter
cash was used to repurchase  255,000  shares of the  Company's  common stock for
$2.3 million and in last year's first quarter 50,000 shares were repurchased for
$0.5 million.

The  Company  believes  that  cash flow  generated  from  operating  activities,
combined  with  the  revolving  credit  agreement  and  vendor  credit  will  be
sufficient  to fund  current  and  long-term  capital  expenditures  and working
capital requirements.


SEASONALITY AND INFLATION

The  Company's  business is seasonal  in nature with the fourth  quarter,  which
includes the Christmas selling season,  historically  accounting for the largest
percentage  of the Company's  net sales and  operating  income.  During the last
three years,  the fourth quarter  accounted for  approximately 37 percent of the
Company's  annual  net  sales  and 64  percent  of  the  Company's  income  from
operations.  Accordingly,  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  are
typically higher as a percentage of net sales during the first three quarters of
each year.

Inflation  affects  the  costs  incurred  by  the  Company  in the  purchase  of
merchandise,  the  leasing  of its  stores,  and in  certain  components  of its
selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company has been successful in
offsetting the effects of inflation  through the control of expenses  during the
past three years.  However,  there can be no assurance  that  inflation will not
have a material effect in the future.
