NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Fabri-Centers of America, Inc.
July 29, 1995, January 28, 1995 and July 30, 1994


 1.  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
     Fabri-Centers of America, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the
     "Company") and have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules of
     the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
     disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
     condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although,
     the Company believes that the disclosures, herein, are adequate to make
     the information not misleading.  The statements should be read in
     conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes, thereto,
     included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and as amended by
     Form 10-K/A Amendments No. 1 and No. 2 for the fiscal year ended January
     28, 1995.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
     statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
     accruals) necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim
     periods.


 2.  Significant Accounting Policies

     A.  Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity
         of three months or less at the time of purchase.  The Company believes
         that the carrying value of cash equivalents approximates their fair
         value.  No cash equivalents were held at July 29, 1995.  At January
         28, 1995, the Company held cash equivalents of $11.5 million, stated
         at cost.

     B.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is
         determined principally by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

     C.  Store physical inventories are taken on a cycle basis throughout the
         fiscal year.  Store inventories subsequent to the physical inventory
         are charged at cost for shipments of merchandise to the stores and are
         relieved at cost for the sale of merchandise.

     D.  Store opening expenses are charged to operations as incurred, which is
         generally the same period that the store is opened.

     E.  Earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number
         of  common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the
         fiscal period.  Fully diluted earnings per share are the same as
         primary earnings per share due to the computation of fully diluted
         earnings per share producing an anti-dilutive result.  Earnings per
         share amounts have been restated to give effect to the increased
         number of shares outstanding as a result of the recapitalization
         amendment (See Note 4).

     F.  Depreciation of buildings, furniture and fixtures and leasehold
         improvements is provided principally by the straight-line method over
         the estimated useful lives of the assets.

     G.  Certain reclassifications have been made of amounts reported in fiscal
         1995 in order to conform with the presentation for fiscal 1996.





                                     Page 5

     H.  The Company's principal business is conducted in the retail fabric and
         craft industry through specialty stores which sell a wide variety      
         of fashion and decorator fabrics, notions, crafts, patterns and sewing
         accessories.

 3.  Cloth World Acquisition

         On October 2, 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of the
         assets of Cloth World, a division of Brown Group, Inc., ("Cloth
         World") for approximately $97 million in cash and assumed liabilities.
         The acquisition required a cash payment at closing of $62.0 million
         and an additional payment due upon determination of the final purchase
         price.  A final payment of $3.7 million was made during the first
         quarter of fiscal 1996.  The funds used to acquire Cloth World were
         provided by internally generated funds and borrowings under a credit
         facility.  The acquisition has been recorded using the purchase
         method, and accordingly, the results of operations of Cloth World have
         been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since
         the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation has been based
         on preliminary estimates. Certain estimates, primarily for costs to
         settle lease obligations related to closing certain acquired stores,
         may be revised based upon information obtained during the remainder of
         fiscal 1996. However, the effect of any revisions on the results of
         operations for the first two quarters of fiscal 1996 would not be
         material.


4.   Recapitalization Amendment

     On August 2, 1995, the shareholders of the Company approved a
     recapitalization amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation,
     which became effective on that date, changing the Company's Common Shares
     into Class A Common Shares and creating a new class of nonvoting shares,
     designated as Class B Common Shares. Additionally, the number of
     authorized Common Shares was increased from 75,000,000 to 150,000,000,
     consisting of 75,000,000 Class A Common Shares and 75,000,000 Class B
     Common Shares.  Pursuant to this amendment, the Company's Common Shares,
     with a stated value of $0.10 per share, were changed into one Class A
     Common Share and one Class B Common Share, with each class having a stated
     value of $0.05 per share.  As a result of the recapitalization, 9,191,514
     Class A Common Shares and 9,191,514 Class B Common Shares were outstanding
     as of the effective date.  Common Stock at July 29, 1995 and all earnings
     per share amounts have been restated to reflect the recapitalization
     amendment, which has been accounted for as if it were a two-for-one stock
     split.

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


        On October 2, 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets of Cloth World, a division of Brown Group Inc. ("Cloth World") for
approximately $97 million in cash and assumed liabilities.  The acquisition
required a cash payment at closing of $62.0 million and an additional payment
due upon determination of the final purchase price.  A final payment of $3.7
million was made during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  The funds used to
acquire Cloth World were provided by internally generated funds and borrowings
under a credit facility.  The acquisition has been recorded using the purchase
method, and accordingly, the results of operations of Cloth World have been
included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of
acquisition.  The purchase price allocation has been based on preliminary
estimates. Certain estimates, primarily for costs to settle lease obligations
related to closing certain acquired stores, may be revised based upon
information obtained during the remainder of fiscal 1996.  However, the effect
of any revisions on the results of operations for the first two quarters of
fiscal 1996 would not be material.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JULY 29, 1995 VS. JULY 30, 1994

        Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 49.3%, or
$55.7 million, to $168.5 million from $112.9 million in fiscal 1995, largely
due to $49.3 million of sales generated from the Cloth World stores during the
second quarter of fiscal 1996.  Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal
1996, excluding the Cloth World stores, increased $6.4 million, or 5.6%. 
Comparable store sales increased 6.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 over
the same quarter a year earlier; primarily as a result of improved product
offerings in notions and crafts and store closings by competitors in certain
markets.

        Gross profit increased $26.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal
1996 compared to the same quarter of fiscal 1995, primarily as a result of the
increase in sales.  As a percentage of net sales, fiscal 1996 second quarter
gross profit was 44.8%, an increase of 1.5 percentage points from the gross
profit of 43.3% for the same quarter a year earlier. The improvement in gross
profit margin primarily resulted from improved purchasing and inventory
management.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales were 46.3% in the second quarter of  fiscal 1996, a decrease of 3.0
percentage points from the 49.3% incurred in the same quarter a year earlier. 
Reductions as a percent of sales in occupancy, advertising and information
systems development expenses were partially offset by an increase in
store-level payroll expense.

        Net interest expense increased by $1.3 million during the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1995, primarily
due to an increase in average bank borrowings as a result of the acquisition
and subsequent conversion of the Cloth World stores and higher inventory
levels.

        The Company's effective income tax rate was 38.5% for both the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 and the second quarter of fiscal 1995.

        Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was $3.3 million, or
$0.17 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.28 per share,
for the same quarter a year earlier.

TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 29, 1995 VS. JULY 30, 1994

        Net sales for the first half of fiscal 1996 increased 43.3%, or $106.3
million, to $351.8 million from $245.5 million in the first half of fiscal
1995, largely due to $98.5 million of sales generated from the Cloth World
stores during the first half of fiscal 1996.  Net sales for the first half of
fiscal 1996, excluding the Cloth World stores, increased $7.8 million, or 3.1%.
Comparable store sales increased 3.7% in the first half of fiscal 1996 over the
same period a year earlier, which primarily occurred during the second quarter.

        Gross profit increased $51.5 million in the first half of fiscal 1996
compared to the same period of fiscal 1995, primarily as a result of the
increase in sales.  As a percentage of net sales, fiscal 1996, first half gross
profit was 44.5%, an increase of 1.7 percentage points from the gross profit of
42.8% for the same period a year earlier. The improvement in gross profit
margin primarily resulted from improved purchasing and inventory management.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales were 44.4% in the first half of fiscal 1996, a decrease of 1.4 percentage
points from the 45.8% incurred in the same period a year earlier.   Reductions
as a percent of sales in occupancy and information systems development expenses
were partially offset by an increase in store-level payroll expenses.

        Net interest expense increased by $2.1 million during the first half of
fiscal 1996 compared to the first half of fiscal 1995, primarily due to an
increase in average bank borrowings as a result of the acquisition and
subsequent conversion of the Cloth World stores and higher inventory levels.

        The Company's effective income tax rate was 38.5% for both the first
half of fiscal 1996 and the first half of fiscal 1995.

        Net loss for the first half of fiscal 1996 was $3.1 million, or $0.16
per share, compared to a net loss of $6.5 million, or $0.35 per share, for the
same period a year earlier.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company completed the first half of fiscal 1996 in sound financial
condition. Working capital increased $29.7 million to $227.9 million, at July
29, 1995, compared to $198.2 million at January 28, 1995.  The ratio of current
assets to current liabilities was 2.6:1 at July 29, 1995, and 2.6:1 at January
28, 1995.

        The Company used $34.5 million for operating activities in the first
half of fiscal 1996 compared to $9.6 million in the same period of the prior
year. The primary reasons for the net use in cash in the first half of fiscal
1996 were an increase in inventory, the payment of accrued employee benefits,
and the payment of certain liabilities relating to the purchase of Cloth World. 
A $61.3 million increase in inventories during the first half of fiscal 1996
was partially offset by a $35.2 million increase in accounts payable. There
were three primary reasons for the increase in inventory.  During the first
half of fiscal 1996, approximately 60% of the Cloth World stores were
remerchandised, adding the broader selection of merchandise available in Jo-Ann
Fabrics and Crafts stores.  The remaining Cloth World stores will be
remerchandised before Thanksgiving.  The product offering in notions and crafts
was expanded in all stores and inventory in general was increased to support
the second half of fiscal 1996 expected sales levels.  The Company anticipates
that merchandise inventories at the end of fiscal 1996 will be moderately lower
than July 29, 1995 levels.

        Capital expenditures were $16.1 million for the first half of fiscal
1996 as compared to $4.8 million for the same period of fiscal 1995.  Fiscal
1996 capital expenditures primarily relate to the conversion of Cloth World
stores to the Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts format and the opening of new stores. 
During the first half of fiscal 1996, the Company opened 17 superstores and
closed 42 smaller stores, many of which were in overlapping markets.





                                     Page 8
   9
For the full year, the Company plans to open 50 to 70 superstores and close 80
to 90 smaller stores.

        The Company has a $200.0 million revolving credit facility with a group
of eight banks that expires on September 29, 1998.  The Company may borrow up
to a maximum of $220.0 million, subject to further limitations during specified
time frames, by using funds available under this credit facility and other
lines of credit.  As of July 29, 1995, the Company had borrowings of $109.5
million under the revolving credit facility and other lines of credit.  The
Company continues to maintain excellent vendor and banking relationships and
has sufficient resources, including unused credit facilities, to meet its
operating needs and to fund its capital expenditures for fiscal 1996.

        The Company has remaining board authorization to purchase in the open
market or in private transactions a total of  997,025 shares of the Company's
Common Stock.  If acquired, these shares will be used to satisfy obligations
under the Company's benefit plans and for other corporate purposes.

        The Company's business exhibits seasonality that is typical for most
retail companies, with much stronger sales in the second half of the year than
the first half of the year.  Net earnings are highest during the months of
September through December, when sales volumes provide significant operating
leverage.  Conversely, net earnings are substantially lower during the
relatively low volume sales months of January through August.  Capital
requirements needed to finance the Company's operations fluctuate during the
year and reach their highest levels in the second and third fiscal quarters as
the Company increases its inventory in anticipation of its peak selling season.

        As of July 29, 1995, the Company operated 939 stores in 48 states
primarily under the names Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts and Cloth World.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities
         ---------------------
     (a) On August 2, 1995 (the "effective date"), the shareholders of the
         Company approved a recapitalization amendment to the Company's
         Articles of Incorporation which  created two classes of common stock,
         one voting class designated as Class A Common Shares, and      a new
         nonvoting class designated as Class B Common Shares. Additionally, the
         number of authorized Common Shares was increased from 75,000,000 to
         150,000,000, consisting of 75,000,000 Class A Common Shares and
         75,000,000 Class B Common Shares.  On the effective date of this
         amendment, the Company's Common Shares, with a stated value of $0.10
         per share, were changed into one Class A Common Share and one Class B
         Common Share, with each class having a stated value of $0.05 per
         share.  Each stock certificate representing the existing Common Shares
         of the Company automatically represented from and after the effective
         date one Class A Common Share.  As a result of the recapitalization,
         9,191,514 Class B Common Shares were issued.  Class A Common Shares
         will essentially carry the same rights, both voting and otherwise, as
         the existing Common Shares, except as described in (b) below.  The
         Class B Common Shares will not be entitled to vote on any matters
         except as otherwise required by law.

         As a result of the recapitalization amendment, the Board of Directors
         of the Company amended the Shareholder's Rights Plan (the "Rights
         Plan"), originally adopted on October 22, 1990.  The effect of the
         amendment to the Rights Plan was to automaticaly adjust the Initial
         Purchase Price, the    Adjusted Purchase Price, and the Redemption
         Price (all as defined below) to be equal to one half of their then
         current price.  In addition, the Company amended the Rights Plan to
         clarify certain of its provisions to reflect the Company's revised
         capital structure.  Specifically, the definition of "Common Shares" as
         used in the Rights Plan was amended to include only the Class A Common
         Shares and provisions were added to the Rights Plan to provide that
         rights are associated only with Class A Common Shares. Under the
         Rights Plan, as amended, the rights are exercisable only if a person
         or group buys or  announces a tender offer for 20% or more of the
         outstanding Class A Common Shares or the Board of Directors declares a
         person or group to be an "adverse person." When exercisable, each
         right initially entitles a holder to purchase one Class A Common Share
         for $105.75 (the "Initial Purchase Price").  Upon occurrence of a
         "flip in" or "flip over" event (as defined in the Rights Plan), each
         right would then enable the holder thereof to purchase one Class A
         Common Share or, in the event that the Company is being acquired, one
         common share of the acquiring company for $0.50 (the "Adjusted
         Purchase Price").  The Board of Directors may redeem the rights for
         $0.005 each at any time before a "flip in" or "flip over" event has
         occurred (the "Redemption Price").  This amendment to the
         Shareholders' Rights Plan is being filed as Exhibit No. 4 to this Form
         10-Q.

         The Company currently has outstanding $56,983,000 in aggregate
         principal amount of 6-1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due
         March 1, 2002 (the "Debentures").  Prior to the recapitalization
         amendment discussed above, the Debentures were convertible in integral
         multiples of $1,000 by a holder into Common Shares of the Company at a
         conversion price of $48.75 per share (equivalent to a conversion rate
         of approximately 20.513 existing Common Shares per $1,000 principal
         amount of Debentures).  As a result of the recapitalization amendment,
         each Debenture will be convertible into approximately 20.513 Class A
         Common Shares and approximately 20.513 Class B Common Shares per
         $1,000 principal amount.

     (b) The authorization and subsequent issuance of the Class B Common
         Shares did not materially limit or qualify the rights of holders of
         Class A Common Shares except that in certain situations in which a     
         holder  of Class A Common Shares has acquired 15% or more of the Class
         A Common Shares after August 2, 1995 without a proportionate purchase
         of the nonvoting Class B Common Shares, the voting

   11
         rights of the Class A Common Shares acquired by such holder
         after August 2, 1995 will be automatically suspended until (i)
         consummation of a tender offer at a prescribed price to acquire
         additional Class B Common Shares or, (ii) the number of Class A Common
         Shares owned by such shareholder and acquired after August 2, 1995
         falls below 15% of the outstanding Class A Common Shares.  See Article
         Fourth, Division B, Section 7 of the Registrant's Amended Articles of
         Incorporation, which is part of Exhibit No. 3 to this Form 10-Q and
         which is hereby incorporated by reference.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a vote of Security Holders
         ---------------------------------------------------

         a)   A Special Meeting in Lieu of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
              of Fabri-Centers of America, Inc.  was held August 2, 1995 for
              the purpose of (1) electing three members to the class whose
              three-year terms of office expire in 1998 and, (2) voting upon a  
              proposed amendment (the "Recapitalization Amendment") to the
              Company's Articles of Incorporation, which would among other
              things, (i) provide for two classes of common stock, one
              voting class designated as Class A Common Shares and a new
              nonvoting class designated as Class B Common Shares; (ii) change  
              each issued share of the Company's existing Common Shares into
              one Class A Common Share and one Class B Common Share; (iii)
              increase the number of authorized Common Shares from 75,000,000
              to 150,000,000 consisting of 75,000,000 Class A Common Shares and
              75,000,000 Class B Common Shares, and (iv) expressly permit the
              Company to purchase and sell either class of Common Stock
              regardless of whether a lesser purchase price could be paid, or a
              greater sale price could be received, by the Company for shares
              of the other class.

         b)   Robert Norton, Alma Zimmerman and Ira Gumberg were elected to the
              Board of Directors for the term expiring in 1998.  Samuel
              Krasney, Frank Newman and Betty Rosskamm continued as Directors
              in the class whose term of office expires in 1996, and Scott
              Cowen and Alan Roskamm continued as Directors in the class whose
              term of office expires in 1997, in which class a vacancy remains.

         c)   (i)  The nominees for Directors as listed in the proxy statement
                   were elected with the following vote:



                               Nominee                                    Votes For                           Votes Withheld

                            Robert Norton                                 8,503,174                               267,998
                            Alma Zimmerman                                8,501,831                               269,341
                            Ira Gumberg                                   8,494,339                               276,833


         (ii) Approval of the Recapitalization Amendment required the
              affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the
              outstanding existing Common Shares of the Company.  On June 14,   
              1995, the record date for shareholders entitled to notice and vote
              at the meeting, there were 9,188,827 Common Shares  outstanding.
              The proposed Amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation
              was approved by  the following vote:
