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

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 1996 were $26.2 million compared
to $36.0 million for the same period last year. For the six months ended July
31, 1996, net sales were $31.3 million compared to $45.3 million for the same
period in the prior year. The decrease in net sales during the three and six
month periods was primarily due to continued weakness in retail sales of
outerwear apparel, particularly in the mid-priced garment categories (Womens,
Studio, and JL Colebrook divisions), partially offset by higher sales levels in
the Licensing division, and the commencement during the second quarter of sales
in the Entertainment division and in branded merchandise carrying the Kenneth
Cole and Polar Bear labels.

Gross profit was $9.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 1996, compared
to $9.6 million in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of
net sales was 35.1% for the three months ended July 31, 1996, compared to 26.6%
for the same period last year. For the six month period ended July 31, 1996,
gross profit was $9.4 million, or 29.9% of net sales, compared to $10.3 million,
or 22.6% of net sales for the same period last year.

The increase in the gross profit percentage was a result of improved margins in
several product lines and an increase in branded product and sports licensing
volume which has higher margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $5.4 million for the three
months ended July 31, 1996 were approximately $80,000 less than in the same
period last year. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses were 20.6% in this period compared to 15.2% last year.
For the six month period ended July 31, 1996, selling, general and
administrative expenses were $11.1 million, or 35.4% of net sales, compared to
$10.8 million, or 23.8% of net sales for the same period last year. The increase
as a percentage of net sales and revenues was the result of lower reported net
sales as described above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods
ended July 31, 1996 were affected by several factors. The Company took several
actions to reduce these expenses, including the consolidation of its two New
Jersey distribution centers into one location in January 1996, and the sublease
of excess property beginning in March 1996. Additionally, a samples room
function was eliminated and personnel reductions have been taken where
appropriate. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased compared to
last year primarily as the result of start-up costs relating to new product
development in branded merchandise, which includes licensed product under the
Kenneth Cole label, as well as development of new distribution channels. The
Company continues to monitor and seeks to reduce expense levels whenever
appropriate.

-8-
Interest  expense of $493,000 was $498,000  lower in the quarter  ended July 31,
1996, compared to $991,000 in the same period last year. For the six months
ended July 31, 1996, interest expense was $705,000, a decrease of $692,000 from
the prior year. Due to lower inventory levels, the Company was debt-free on its
domestic borrowing agreement from December 22, 1995 until May 9, 1996. This
resulted in lower interest costs than in the prior year when the Company was
continuously in a domestic borrowing position.

Income taxes of $1.3 million reflect an effective tax rate of 40% for the three
months ended July 31, 1996, compared to income taxes of $1.4 million (effective
tax rate of 44.9%) in the comparable period in the prior year. For the six
months ended July 31, 1996, the income tax benefit of $964,000 reflects an
effective tax rate of 40%, compared to an income tax benefit of $620,000 or
32.0% in the same period last year. The lower effective tax rate in the prior
year resulted from the utilization of state and local losses carried forward
from the fiscal year ended January 31, 1995.

As a result of the foregoing, for the three month period ended July 31, 1996,
the Company had net income of $2.0 million, or $.30 per share, compared to a net
income of $1.7 million, or $.27 per share, for the comparable period in the
prior year. For the six month period ended July 31, 1996, the Company had a net
loss of $1.4 million, or $.22 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million,
or $.20 per share, for the same period in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has a loan agreement, which expires May 31, 1997, providing for a
collateralized working capital line of credit for a maximum amount of $48
million through October 30, 1996 (reduced to $40 million commencing October 31,
1996), of which a maximum of $40 million (reduced to $30 million commencing
October 31, 1996) is available for direct borrowings and the unused balance for
letters of credit. All amounts available for borrowings are subject to borrowing
base formulas and overadvances specified in the agreement.

Direct borrowings bear interest at the agent's prime rate (8.25% as of September
1, 1996) plus 1.75%. All borrowings are collateralized by the assets of the
Company. The loan agreement requires the Company, among other covenants, to
maintain certain earnings and tangible net worth levels, and prohibits the
payments of cash dividends. As of July 31, 1996, there was $20.4 million of
borrowings outstanding and approximately $16.5 million of contingent liability
under open letters of credit. The amount borrowed under the line of credit
varies based on the Company's seasonal requirements.

The Company's wholly-owned Indonesian subsidiary has a line of credit with a
bank for approximately $3.5 million which is supported by a $2.0 million
stand-by letter of credit issued under the Company's loan agreement. As of July
31, 1996, the borrowing by the Indonesian subsidiary under its line of credit
approximated $3.4 million.
