              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc. (the Company) is a manufacturer and
        nationwide retailer of classic men's clothing through conventional
        retail stores and catalog direct marketing. In 1995, the Company
        discontinued its women's product line to concentrate solely on its
        men's business. Sales from the women's product line were $8.2 million
        in the first quarter of 1995.

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
        Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany
        balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

        The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report
        are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal
        year.  In the opinion of management, the information contained herein
        reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for
        the interim periods a fair statement of such operations.  These
        adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

        Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from
        the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on
        Form 10-Q.  Therefore, these financial statements should be read in
        conjunction with the Company's February 3, 1996 Annual Report on Form
        10-K.

2.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out, cost or
        market.  The company capitalizes into inventories certain warehousing
        and delivery costs associated with getting its manufactured and
        purchased inventory to the point of sale.

        Costs related to mail order catalogs and promotional materials are
        included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.  These costs are
        amortized over the expected periods of benefit, not to exceed six
        months.

        The company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
        Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes
        (SFAS 109). This standard requires, among other things, recognition of
        future tax benefits, measured by enacted tax rates attributable to
        deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income
        tax basis of assets and liabilities and to tax net operating loss
        carryforwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more
        likely than not.

4.      FINANCING

        In  April  1996,  the  Company   extended  its  credit  agreement  (the
        "Credit Agreement") to April 1999 which changed the maximum borrowing
        under the revolver facility to $38,000,000 and provides a term loan
        facility of $2,000,000  payable in monthly installments over a five
        year period.  The Credit Agreement also includes financial
        covenants  concerning net worth and working capital, among others, and
        limitations on capital expenditures and additional indebtedness and a
        restriction on the payment of dividends.  Interest rates under the
        amended agreement range from prime plus 1.5% to prime plus 2.0% or
        LIBOR plus 3.5%. The amended  agreement also includes an early
        termination fee and provisions for a seasonal over-advance.
        Substantially all assets of the Company are collateralized
        under the Credit Agreement.

        Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
                 and Financial Condition

The  following  discussion  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  attached
condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  and notes  thereto  and with the
Company's  audited  financial  statements  and notes thereto for the fiscal year
ended February 3, 1996.

Overview - During the three months ended May 4, 1996,  the Company  dramatically
improved its  operating  income to $1.1  million from an operating  loss of $6.2
million in the first  quarter of 1995 (which  included a $3.9 million  operating
loss from the recurring men's business).  The first quarter of 1996 is the first
period in which the  Company's  operations  were not  encumbered  by the women's
business  which was  discontinued  in 1995.  The Company was able to concentrate
entirely on its core men's business resulting in significantly improved margins,
lower operating expenses and higher tailored clothing sales.

Results  of  Operations  - The  following  table is derived  from the  Company's
Condensed consolidated  statements of operations and sets forth, for the periods
indicated, the items included in the Condensed consolidated statements of income
(loss), expressed as a percentage of net sales.

                                        Percentage of Net Sales
                                             Quarter Ended
                                         May 4,       April 29,
                                         1996            1995
Net Sales                               100.0%          100.0%
Costs of goods sold                      52.7            63.0

Gross profit                             47.3            37.0
General and administrative expenses      10.8            12.0
Sales and marketing expenses             33.6            38.9

Operating income (loss)                   2.9           (13.9)
Interest expense                          1.9             1.6

Income (loss) before income taxes         1.0           (15.5)
Income taxes and related items            0.4            (6.0)

Net income (loss)                         0.6%           (9.5%)



Net Sales - For the second quarter in a row, the Company achieved significant
increases in men's sales.   Men's comparable store sales for the first quarter
of 1996 increased 8.6% over the same period in the prior year and total men's
sales excluding catalog sales increased $3.2 million, or 10.6%, from

                                     - 8 -

$30.4 in 1995 to $33.6 million in 1996.  Net sales decreased 15.9% to $37.3
million in the first quarter of 1996 from $44.4 million in the prior year's
quarter due primarily to the Company repositioning its merchandising to
eliminate the women's product line and focus solely on its men's business.

The Company reduced the number of catalogs mailed to prospects in the first
quarter of 1996 compared to the prior year to maximize catalog earnings, which
resulted in a $2.1 million decrease in men's catalog sales.  The Company expects
to increase mailings to prospects in the second half of 1996, when response
rates are typically better.

Cost of Goods  Sold - Cost of goods  sold  decreased  to 52.7% of sales  for the
quarter  ended May 4, 1996 from 63.0%  during the same  period in the prior year
due to the  elimination  of the  women's  product  line and the  improvement  of
margins in the continuing men's business, particularly in tailored clothing.

General  and  Administrative  Expenses  - General  and  administrative  expenses
decreased to $4.0 million,  or 10.8% of sales, in the first quarter of 1996 from
$5.3 million, or 12.0% of sales, in the first quarter of 1995. Approximately $.7
million of the decrease was related to severance accrued in the first quarter of
1995  for  terminated  employees.  The  remainder  of the  improvement  was  due
primarily  to lower  professional  fees and payroll and related  expenses  which
reflects the Company's continued focus on controlling overhead costs.

Sales and Marketing Expenses - Sales and marketing expenses decreased $4.7
million to $12.6 million, or 33.6% of sales, in the first quarter of 1996 from
$17.3 million, or 38.9% in the prior year's quarter.  The decrease was due
primarily to the elimination of the women's product line and its related costs,
the reduction of the number of catalogs mailed to prospects and lower store
operating expenses.

Interest  Expense - Interest expense was consistent in the first quarter of 1996
compared to the same period of 1995.

Income Taxes - The Company has net tax operating  loss  carryforwards  (NOLs) of
approximately  $16 million which expire through 2011.  Realization of the future
tax benefits is dependent on the Company's  ability to generate  taxable  income
within  the  carryforward  period.  Management  has  determined,  based  on  the
Company's  history of prior  operating  earnings  and its  expectations  for the
future, that future operating income of the Company will more likely than not be
sufficient to utilize fully the NOLs prior to their expiration. Accordingly, the
Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of $6.3 million  relating to the NOLs.
No assurance can be given that  sufficient  taxable income will be generated for
full utilization of the NOLs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - Net working capital was $34.8 million at May
4, 1996 compared to $35.7 million at February 3, 1996.  At May 4, 1996, the
Company had outstanding borrowings of $26.2 million under its revolving loan
agreement as compared to $28.9 million at February 3, 1996.

The following table summarizes the Company's sources and uses of funds as
reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows:

                                                           Three Months Ended
                                                            May 4,  April 29,
                                                             1996     1995
Cash provided by (used in):
        Operating activities                             $ 3,186     $ (2,885)
        Investing activities                                 (62)        (562)
        Financing activities                              (3,121)       2,750
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents     $     3     $   (697)

Cash provided by the  Company's  operating  activities  was due primarily to the
$3.8 million  income tax refund  received from its pre-1986  parent in the first
quarter  of  1996.  Cash  used in  investing  activities  relates  primarily  to
continued  consolidation of the Company's tailoring  operations and improvements
in stores, net of proceeds from the sale of fixed assets. Cash used in financing
activities represented primarily repayments of the revolving loan.

The Company  expects to increase its rate of capital  expenditures in 1996 as it
continues  its program to reposition  its existing  store base,  which  includes
opening and relocating  several stores,  downsizing stores which have more space
than is needed to support the  continuing  men's  business  and closing  several
unprofitable stores.

In April,  1996 the Company  extended its Credit  Agreement to April 1999, which
reduced the financial covenants and provides for a seasonal over-advance. At May
4, 1996,  the Company had  outstanding  borrowings  of $26.2  million  with $9.9
million of availability compared to borrowings of $28.9 million and availability
of $5.5  million at February  3, 1996.  The  Company  believes  that its current
liquidity and revolving loan facility will be adequate to maintain its currently
anticipated working capital needs.
