Monthly Operating Report

As previously disclosed, on February 2, 2016 (the “Petition Date”), Hancock Fabrics, Inc. (“Hancock”) and all of Hancock’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively with Hancock, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”, and the filings therein, the “Chapter 11 Filings”). The chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) are being jointly administered under the caption “In re Hancock Fabrics, Inc., et al.” Case No. 16-10296.

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, Hancock has adopted a modified reporting program with respect to its reporting obligations under federal securities laws. In lieu of filing annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, each month Hancock will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a current report on Form 8-K that will have attached to it the monthly financial report required to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

On July 18, 2017, the Debtors filed their monthly operating report for the period beginning May 28, 2017 and ending July 1, 2017 (the “Monthly Operating Report”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Note Regarding Monthly Operating Report

Hancock cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of Hancock. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements applicable in the Chapter 11 Cases. Hancock is not required to publicly update the Monthly Operating Report to reflect more current facts or estimates or the occurrence of future events, including if the facts, estimates and assumptions upon which the Monthly Operating Report is based are erroneous. The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent public accountants, does not contain all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in Hancock’s securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete. The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in Hancock’s reports to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and such information might not be indicative of Hancock’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in Hancock’s financial statements or in its reports to the Exchange Act. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
