Note 3 - Net Loss Per Common Share

Net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each of the periods, adjusted for the dilutive effect
of common share equivalents, when applicable.

Note 4 - Notes Payable

The Company's loan agreement has been extended for two years, with the extended
term expiring on May 31, 1999. The agreement provides for a line of credit in
the amount of $52,000,000 from May 31 to October 30, and $40,000,000 from
October 31 to May 30 during each year of the agreement. The amounts available
include direct borrowings of $40,000,000 from May 31 to November 14, and
$30,000,000 from November 15 to May 30, during each year of the agreement. The
balance of the credit line may be used for letters of credit. All amounts
available for borrowing are subject to borrowing base formulas.

Note 6 - Future Effects of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which is effective for
financial statements both interim and annual periods ending after December 15,
1997. Early adoption of the new standard is not permitted. The new standard
eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per share and requires
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share together with disclosure of
how the per share amounts were computed. The effect of adopting this new
standard is not expected to have a material impact on the disclosure of earnings
per share in the financial statements.

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

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning the Company's
business outlook or future economic performance; anticipated revenues, expenses
or other financial items; product introductions and plans and objectives related
thereto; and statements concerning assumptions made or expectations as to any
future events, conditions, performance or other matter, are "forward-looking
statements" as that term is defined under the Federal securities laws.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors
which could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in such
statements. Such risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited
to, reliance on foreign manufacturers, the nature of the apparel industry,
including changing consumer demand and tastes, seasonality, customer acceptance
of new products, the impact of competitive products and pricing, dependence on
existing management, general economic conditions, as well as other risks
detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including this Quarterly Report on form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

The three month period ending on April 30 is traditionally the quarter with the
lowest net sales by the Company during its fiscal year. Net sales for the three
months ended April 30, 1997 were $6.5 million compared to $5.1 million for the
same period last year. The increase in net sales during the quarter was
primarily due to higher sales in the Mens and Kenneth Cole divisions.

Gross profit was $462,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1997, compared to
$152,000 in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
was 7.1% for the three months ended April 30, 1997, compared to 3.0% for the
same period last year. The increase in the gross profit percentage was achieved
primarily in the mens and licensed product lines.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.8 million for the three
months ended April 30, 1997 compared to $5.7 million in the prior year.

For the three months ended April 30, 1997, interest and financing charges, net
were $60,000, a decrease of $152,000 from the same period of the prior year.
This decrease is primarily attributable to interest income earned on higher
levels of cash equivalents as compared to last year.

Income tax benefit of $2.2 million reflects an effective tax rate of 40% for the
three months ended April 30, 1997, compared to an income tax benefit of $2.3
million which reflected the same effective tax rate in the comparable period of
the prior year.

As a result of the foregoing, for the three month period ended April 30, 1997,
the Company had a net loss of $3.2 million, or $.50 per share, compared to a net
loss of $3.4 million, or $.53 per share, for the comparable period in the prior
year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's loan agreement has been extended for two years, with the extended
term expiring on May 31, 1999. The agreement provides for a line of credit in
the amount of $52,000,000 from May 31 to October 30, and $40,000,000 from
October 31 to May 30 during each year of the agreement. The amounts available
include direct borrowings of $40,000,000 from May 31 to November 14, and
$30,000,000 from November 15 to May 30, during each year of the agreement. The
balance of the credit line may be used for letters of credit. All amounts
available for borrowing are subject to borrowing base formulas and overadvances
specified in the agreement.

Direct borrowings bear interest at the agent's prime rate (8.5% as of June 1,
1997) or LIBOR plus 250 basis points at the election of the Company. All
borrowing 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 payment of cash dividends. As of
April 30, 1997, there were no direct borrowing outstanding and approximately
$17.2 million of contingent liability under open letters of credit. The amount
borrowed under the line of credit varies based upon 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 April
30, 1997, the borrowing by the Indonesian subsidiary under its line of credit
approximated $3.5 million.
