7.   SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has two reportable segments: full line stores and catalog/internet
direct marketing. While each segment offers a similar mix of men's clothing to
the retail customer, the full line stores also provide alterations.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
Company's January 29, 2000 Annual Report on Form 10K. The Company evaluates
performance of the segments based on "four wall" contribution which excludes any
allocation of "management company" costs, distribution center costs (except
order fulfillment costs which are allocated to catalog/internet), interest and
income taxes. The Company's segments are strategic business units that offer
similar products to the retail customer by two distinctively different methods.
In full line stores the typical customer travels to the store and purchases
men's clothing and/or alterations and takes their purchases with them. The
catalog/internet direct marketing customer receives a catalog in his or her
home, office and/or visits our web page via the internet and either calls,
mails, faxes or places an order on-line. The merchandise is then shipped to the
customer. The detail segment data is presented in the following table:

8.   EXECUTIVE PAYOUT AND OTHER COSTS

During the second quarter of 1999, the Company's Chairman and CEO retired and
the Company recorded a one-time charge of approximately $2.2 million associated
with that event. The one-time charge includes a payout to the former
Chairman/CEO of approximately $1.8 million and professional fees -- primarily
recruiting and related expenses -- that were incurred in the second quarter of
1999. This charge reduced basic earnings per share by $.20.


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 January 29, 2000.

Overview - The Company continued its trend of strong profits in the second
---------
quarter of 2000, generating record results for the third consecutive quarter.
The Company generated net income of $.6 million ($.10 per share) in the second
quarter of 2000 compared to income of $.5 million ($.08 per share) in the second
quarter of 1999 (excluding one-time expenses in 1999). These results represent a
25% increase in earnings per share for the quarter and a 73% increase in
earnings per share for the first half of 2000 (excluding one-time expenses in
1999).

After considering the one-time expenses in the prior year, the Company had a net
loss in the first half of 1999 of $.3 million ($.05 per share) compared to the
record results noted above for 2000 (the current year). All earnings per share
amounts represent diluted earnings per share.

Total debt decreased $6.7 million to $7.3 million at July 29, 2000, compared to
$14.0 million at July 31, 1999, despite using $3.1 million to repurchase common
stock in April, 2000 and investing $1 million for a new Internet site. The
Company's availability to borrow under its bank credit agreement, as of July 29,
2000, increased to $28.2 million, which was $10.1 million higher than the same
time last year.

Net Sales - Total sales for the second quarter of 2000 increased 1.5%, to $44.9
---------
million, compared to $44.2 million in 1999, while comparable store sales were
even in the second quarter of 2000. Total sales for the first half of 2000
increased 3.9%, to $91.3 million, compared to $87.8 million in 1999, while
comparable store sales increased 3.6% in the first half of 2000. The sales were
driven by increases in sportcoats, slacks and sportswear as the Company
continues to expand its assortment to meet the demand for corporate casual in
the workplace. For the first half of 2000, suits were 34% of total sales
compared to 39% in the first half of 1999, thus demonstrating the shift to
corporate casual.

Gross Profit - Gross profit (sales less cost of goods sold) as a percent of
------------
sales decreased in both the second quarter and six months ended July 29, 2000.
The decrease in the quarter relates primarily to clearing excess inventory while
the decrease for the six months relates primarily to an aggressive sales
promotion in February 2000 when the Company achieved a 20% comparable store
sales increase.

General and Administrative Expenses - General and administrative expenses
-----------------------------------
decreased $.2 million in the second quarter of 2000 and increased $.3 million in
the six months ended July 29, 2000 compared to the same period last year. The
decrease in the second quarter relates primarily to lower professional fees and
travel expenses while the increase for the six month period relates primarily to
an increase in accrued incentive compensation expense.

Sales and Marketing Expenses - Sales and marketing expenses (which consist
----------------------------
primarily of store occupancy, advertising, and store payroll costs) increased
$.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and were even for the first six
months of 2000. These differences were the result of reduced promotional
spending in 2000, as offset by increased occupancy for additional stores.

Store Opening Costs - Store opening costs were immaterial in the second quarter
-------------------
of each year. Store opening costs decreased to $46 thousand during the first six
months of 2000. The Company opened two factory stores in the first quarter of
2000 compared to three full-line stores opened in the first half of 1999. The
Company does not run an opening advertising campaign for factory stores as it
does for the opening of full line stores.

Interest Expense - Interest expense decreased slightly in the first half of 2000
----------------
compared to the prior year due primarily to the lower average outstanding
balance in the current year being partially offset by higher interest rates.

Income Taxes - The first half fiscal 2000 effective income tax rate is 39% which
------------
is the same as 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - The Company has substantial availability under
-------------------------------
its current borrowing agreement. At July 29, 2000, the Company had outstanding
borrowings of $4.3 million with $28.2 million of availability under its Credit
Agreement compared to borrowings of $11.5 million and availability of $18.4
million at the same time last year.

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

                                             ========   ========

Cash provided by operating activities was primarily from income generated from
operations, an increase in accounts payable and a decrease in inventories. Cash
used in investing activities primarily relates to the purchase and installation
of the Company's new e-commerce website, and the opening and renovation of
stores. Cash used in financing activities primarily represents the repurchase of
common stock partially offset by borrowings on the revolving portion of the
Credit Agreement.

The Company expects to spend between $4 and $5 million on capital expenditures
in fiscal 2000, primarily to open between six and eight new stores, to relocate,
downsize or renovate at least two stores, to install a new e-commerce website to
replace its existing site and to install an inventory planning system. The
capital expenditures will be financed through operations, the Credit Agreement
and possibly leasing arrangements.

The Company's Credit Agreement expires in April, 2001 based on its original
term. The Company expects to obtain extended financing prior to the end of 2000
and does not anticipate any problems obtaining its financing. However, there can
be no assurance that such financing will be obtained on acceptable terms.

The Company's statements concerning future operations contained herein are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those
forecast due to a variety of factors that can adversely affect the Company's
operating results, liquidity and financial condition such as risks associated
with economic, weather and other factors affecting consumer spending, the
ability of the Company to finance its expansion plans, the mix of goods sold,
pricing, availability of lease sites for new stores and other competitive
factors. Many of the risks are described in the Company's reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which should be carefully reviewed before
making any investment decision.
