S & K FAMOUS BRANDS, INC.
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
 
A.    Accounting Policies
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by S & K Famous Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in regard to quarterly reporting. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair representation of the financial position and results of operations for interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent annual report to shareholders (the “2001 Annual Report”) and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2002 (the “10-K”).
 
B.    Interim Results of Operations
 
The Company’s business is highly seasonal, with peak sales periods occurring during its fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the Christmas season. The net earnings of any interim quarter are seasonally disproportionate to net sales since administrative and certain operating expenses remain relatively constant during the year. Consequently, interim results should not be considered necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.
 
C.    Expansion
 
Since the end of the first quarter, the Company relocated one store in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (3,500 square feet) and closed a store in Dayton, Ohio (4,250 square feet) which had not met the Company’s sales and profitability expectations.
 
Year-to-date, the Company has opened one new store and relocated one store. Three other stores were closed which had not met sales and earnings expectations. The losses on the closings were not significant to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
D.    Long-Term Debt
 
On April 26, 2002, the Company purchased 1,553,375 shares of its common stock at $11.00 per share under a tender offer. The Company financed the tender offer through available cash and a new credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) from two banks including a line of credit and term loan not to exceed $20.0 million. The Credit Facility also provides for an operating revolving loan for working capital needs in the principal amount of $26.0 million.
 
The Credit Facility, which matures in 2007, is collateralized by liens on the Company’s inventory and the Company’s headquarters property and adjacent store. Monthly principal payments on the term loan began in July 2002 and principal reductions on the line of credit loan will begin in 2003. Amounts outstanding bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, payable monthly. The Credit Facility contains customary financial covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends and to repurchase its capital stock. The Company is presently in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Facility. As of August 3, 2002, the Company had net unused commitments of approximately $30.9 million under the Credit Facility.

5

 
On May 15, 2002, the remaining balance of the Company’s previously outstanding Industrial Development Bond was refinanced, as well as a portion of the line of credit, into a term loan under the Credit Facility totaling $6.0 million. Through June 14, 2002, $7.5 million was paid from available cash on-hand against the Credit Facility line of credit. As of quarter end, the Company had $5.5 million outstanding under the line of credit portion of the Credit Facility. Maturities of long-term debt for the next five years are estimated at $0.9 million, $2.4 million, $2.3 million, $1.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
 
E.    Other Matters
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company issued 12,346 shares of its common stock to the S&K Famous Brands Employees’ Savings/Profit Sharing Plan, which resulted in an increase in Shareholders’ Equity of $100,000. This $100,000 expense was accrued in fiscal 2002.
 
F.    New Accounting Prononcements
 
In 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 145 and 146. Adoption of these statements is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
 
Information regarding forward-looking statements.
 
The statements contained in this quarterly report that are not historical facts, including statements about management’s expectations for fiscal 2003 and beyond, may be forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results, or those anticipated. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from management’s projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the Company’s 10-K.

Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 increased 1.7%, or $0.6 million, compared to the same period last year, reflecting a net increase of two stores and an increase in comparable store sales of approximately 1%. For the six-month period, net sales increased by 0.7%, or $0.6 million, compared to the same period last year. Comparable store sales for the six-month period were even with last year. During the second quarter the Company relocated one store and closed one store which had not met sales and profitability expectations. There were 235 stores in operation as of August 3, 2002, compared to 233 stores at August 4, 2001.
 
Cost of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 was 53.2% of net sales compared to 52.7% of net sales for the same period last year. The 0.5% of net sales increase in the quarter was primarily due to higher buying and occupancy costs as a component of cost of sales due to lower inventory levels as compared to the prior year and, to a lesser degree, increased inventory shrinkage. For the six-month period cost of sales was 51.9% of net sales compared to 51.6% of net sales last year. This 0.3% increase was the result of higher buying and occupancy costs as a component of cost of sales due to lower inventory levels as compared to last year and higher freight and inventory shrinkage, offset in part by improved margins on merchandise sold.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 were 44.4% of net sales compared to 44.7% of net sales in the same quarter last year. This 0.3% of net sales reduction is due to the combination of lower group health insurance claims, advertising media and alteration costs which were offset in part by higher store payroll costs. For the first six months in fiscal 2003, selling, general and administrative expenses were 42.9% of net sales compared to 43.0% of net sales last year. The six-month reduction of 0.1% of net sales was due primarily to lower advertising and alteration costs offset by higher store payroll and occupancy costs.
 
Interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 was 0.4% of net sales compared to 0.3% of net sales last year. Second quarter fiscal 2003 interest expense included approximately $100,000 related to a new Credit Facility (See Note D to the Financial Statements) and was partially offset by lower working capital borrowings and lower interest rates compared to last year. For the six-month period interest expense was 0.2% of net sales versus 0.3% of net sales in fiscal 2002. The lower expense was the result of having (i) surplus cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 while having used its revolving bank credit line in fiscal 2002, and (ii) lower interest rates; both of which offset the interest expense under the new Credit Facility.
 
Other, net in the second quarter represented income of 0.4% of net sales in fiscal 2003 versus expense 0.1% of net sales in fiscal 2002. This change was primarily due to income from an insurance claim of $132,000 ($82,000 after tax, or $0.03 per diluted share) in this year’s second quarter.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
The Company historically has funded its operating activities, including capital expenditures for the opening of new stores, from internally generated funds and from bank borrowings. During the six months ended August 3, 2002, the Company opened one new store and relocated one store. Three other locations were closed which had not met the Company’s sales and profitability expectations. For the remainder of fiscal 2003, the Company expects to open between four and six additional stores. The Company does not expect this activity to significantly impact liquidity or capital resources during fiscal 2003
 
Operating activities provided net cash of $0.4 million and $2.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, respectively. This $1.8 million reduction was due primarily to fluctuations in inventory growth year over year, with the timing of merchandise payments in payables offsetting the change in current and deferred income taxes caused by the tax deductibility of increased amounts of stock options exercised.

7

 
Net cash used for investing activities was primarily for the purpose of store expansion. Capital expenditures for the first six months of fiscal 2003 and 2002 approximated $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Although the estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements are summarized in Note 1 to the financial statements in the Company’s 2001 Annual Report.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company does not have transactions, arrangements or relationships with “special purpose” entities, and except for two Letters of Credit approximating $1.1 million, expiring November 2002, does not have any off balance sheet debt.
