This Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend the Current Report on Form 8-K (the

Item 2. Acquisition of Assets
---------------------
On September 5, 2000, Hampshire Group, Limited ("Hampshire Group"), through
its wholly owned subsidiary Vintage III, Inc. ("Vintage" or the "Company"),
concluded the acquisition of substantially all the assets and business of
Item-Eyes, Inc. ("Item-Eyes"), a privately held sportswear company.
The acquired assets include all the machinery and equipment, furniture and
fixtures and leasehold improvements used in the operation of the business (other
than the New York corporate condominium owned by Item-Eyes); all current assets;
and all intangible assets of Item-Eyes (the "Assets"). Hampshire Group does not
intend to change the use of the acquired Assets. The Acquisition Date Balance
Sheet is filed herein as Schedule 1.
The Assets were acquired from Item-Eyes, Inc. and the purchase price was
paid to its stockholders (the "Stockholders"). The Stockholders are set forth
below along with their addresses and respective percentage ownership of
Item-Eyes:
Mr. Martin Axman 870 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 67.00%
Mr. Marc Abramson 3 Heaton Court, Closter, NJ 16.86%
Ms. Ellen Becker 110 Oak Drive, Rosyln, NY 16.14%
Mr. Ralph Martinez 79 Beach Road, Massapequa, NY (*)
(*) The ownership interest of Mr. Martinez was purchased by Item-Eyes under
an agreement entered into on September 7, 1999, and at the acquisition
date, the shares were held as treasury stock securing a thirty-six month
note payable to the former stockholder. At closing, the balance of the note
was paid with $2 million of the cash purchase price plus 30,362
unregistered shares of Hampshire Group, Limited common stock.
There were no relationships between any of the Stockholders and Hampshire
Group, or any of its subsidiaries, including Vintage, or any of their directors,
officers or affiliates.

(Acquisition of Assets Continued)
Item-Eyes, a privately held sportswear company founded in 1978 by its
former owners, is a manufacturer and marketer of moderate-price, "missy" related
separates under its label, Requirements, and private labels of prestige
retailers such as Federated, JC Penney and May Department Stores. Item-Eyes will
continue operating in an operational center and sales offices/ showroom in New
York City and an administrative office in Hauppauge, New York. Under separate
five-year employment agreements, the three principals will remain with the
Company in similar capacities as they previously served: Mr. Axman, President
and Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Abramson, Vice President Sales; and Ms. Becker,
Vice President Design.
As disclosed in Hampshire Group's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July
10, 2000, Vintage, Hampshire Group, Item-Eyes and the Stockholders entered into
an Asset Purchase Agreement on June 26, 2000 (the "Purchase Agreement").
Simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company made a
good faith deposit of $5 million (the "Deposit"). Under the terms of the
Purchase Agreement, after July 20, 2000, interest accrued on the unpaid cash
portion of the purchase price at 10% per annum. Further, the Purchase Agreement
provided for the forfeiture of the Deposit if Vintage failed to close on or
before September 5, 2000, as a result of reasons other than the Company's
failure to obtain bank financing or the death of one of the principals. In the
event the transaction did not close on or before September 5, 2000, as a result
of the Company's failure to obtain bank financing, the Purchase Agreement
provided for the forfeiture of the Deposit in the amount equal to $1 million
plus the legal expenses of Item-Eyes.
The purchase price to be paid was dependent upon the net assets delivered;
therefore, the books and records of Item-Eyes were closed as of August 20, 2000,
to permit the compilation of the assets to be acquired for closing of the
transaction on August 31, 2000. Based on the compilation prepared for the
closing and mutual agreement among the parties, the purchase price was reduced
by $250,000 and consequently, the subordinated notes delivered were reduced in a
like amount. Due to legal matters among the participants in the bank consortium
financing the transaction, the funding of the balance of the purchase price and
the indemnification for the outstanding letters of credit assumed was not
finalized until September 5, 2000.
The Company has accounted for the Item-Eyes acquisition as a purchase,
applying the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Business
Combinations. The purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired
including the liabilities assumed as of August 20, 2000, based upon their
estimated fair values as of that date with the remainder being recorded as
goodwill. An appraisal of the fair values of the assets acquired was not deemed
necessary considering that 96.6% of the tangible assets acquired were current
assets, primarily accounts receivable and inventories in trade. Additionally,
1.5% of the assets acquired were represented by cash surrender value of officers
life insurance policies. Of the $862,000 remaining tangible assets acquired,
more than 50% represented leasehold improvements which will be amortized over
the remaining life of the respective leases.
Page 3
(Acquisition of Assets Continued)
The assets were acquired for a total of $57,288,000 which was paid as follows:
Cash $13,000,000
Assumed liabilities - revolving credit line 31,069,000 (1)
Assumed liabilities - trade accounts payable, etc. 8,397,000
Issuance of Subordinated Notes payable 2,100,000 (2)
Issuance of Hampshire Group, Limited common stock 2,722,000 (3)
(1) The balance outstanding under the line of credit on the acquisition
date had been reduced by the pay-down against the line of credit of
the $5 million purchase price deposit; therefore, the assumed
liability of the line of credit has been restated accordingly.
(2) The Subordinated Notes issued by Vintage are subordinated in all
respects to all indebtedness incurred under Hampshire Group's Credit
Agreement (hereinafter defined) and Hampshire Group's outstanding
Insurance Notes (hereinafter defined), bear interest at 9.5% to 11.5%
per annum and are due in 2.5 to 4 years. Hampshire Group and its
Chairman have guaranteed Vintage's obligation pursuant to the
Subordinated Notes.
(3) Hampshire Group Limited issued 395,382 unregistered shares of its
common stock, par value $0.10 per share, which has been recorded at an
assumed fair market value of $6.885 per share. The assumed fair market
value was determined by averaging the closing price of the stock, as
reported by the NASDAQ market, for five trading days prior to and five
trading days subsequent to August 20, 2000. Further, the average
closing price was discounted 15% due to lack of marketability of the
unregistered shares.
The Company also assumed the purchase commitments of Item-Eyes, which
included open orders for the purchase of inventory of approximately $5.8 million
secured by open letters of credit.
The allocation of the purchase price is subject to final determination
based on changes in certain estimates of the asset valuations and determination
of liabilities assumed that may occur within the first year of operations.
Management believes that there will not be material changes to the allocation of
the purchase price.
A portion of the consideration paid by the Company was obtained through
loans under Hampshire Group's senior secured revolving credit facility pursuant
to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated September 5,
2000 (the "Credit Agreement"), among Hampshire Group Limited, Hampshire Group's
subsidiaries including Vintage, The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase"), HSBC Bank
USA, The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc., Fleet National Bank, Israel
Discount Bank of New York and Bank of America, N.A. (collectively the "Banks"),
and Chase as agent for the Banks. The three-year Credit Agreement provides a
secured credit facility up to $97,937,500 in revolving line of credit and
letters of credit. The credit facility is limited by the amount of assets
securing the facility, but includes a provision for over-advance during the
Hampshire Group's peak borrowing periods.
Page 4
(Acquisition of Assets Continued)
Hampshire Group and its subsidiaries, including Vintage, also entered into
Amendment No. 1, dated September 5, 2000 (the "Amendment"), to the Note Purchase
Agreements, dated as of May 15, 1998, among Hampshire Group Limited, Hampshire
Group's subsidiaries, Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company and the Ohio
National Life Insurance Company, with respect to the $15,000,000 aggregate
principal amount, Senior Secured Notes due January 2, 2008 (the "Insurance
Notes"). The Amendment provides for, among other things, changes in i) the
applicable interest rate from 7.05% to an adjustable rate, 8% effective
September 5, 2000, and ii) the principal amortization schedule from seven annual
installments of $2,142,857 commencing January 2, 2002, to a payment of $937,500
upon closing and 15 semi-annual installments of $937,500 each, commencing
January 2, 2001. In consideration of the above, the Senior Secured Note Holders
waived receipt of any portion of the proceeds from Hampshire Group's prior sale
of its manufacturing facilities which occurred on April 28, 2000, and is
described further in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Hampshire Group on
July 10, 2000.
Based on a term sheet approved on June 2, 2000, Hampshire Group closed on a
five-year term loan with Merchants National Bank, Winona, Minnesota for $3
million on September 20, 2000. The $3 million loan was part of the long-term
financing of the acquisition. The note bears interest at the bank's prime rate
plus 0.25% per annum, adjustable annually on the anniversary of the loan. The
agreement provides for repayment of the loan in nine semi-annual installments of
$301,941 each, commencing March 20, 2001 but may be prepaid without penalty.
On September 11, 2000, Vintage changed its name to Item-Eyes, Inc.
A copy of the press release issued by Hampshire Group on September 6, 2000,
in respect of the acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and
incorporated hereto by reference.

NOTES TO
ACQUISITION DATE BALANCE SHEET
August 20, 2000
(A) Basis of Presentation.
---------------------
The unaudited Acquisition Date Balance Sheet reflects the purchase of
substantially all of the assets and business of Item-Eyes, Inc.
("Item-Eyes") and the liabilities assumed as partial payment of the
purchase price. The acquired assets include all the machinery and
equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements used in
the operation of the business (other than the New York corporate
condominium); all current assets; and all intangibles assets of
Item-Eyes.
Management believes that the assumptions used in preparing this
Acquisition Date Balance Sheet provides a reasonable basis for
presenting all of the significant effects of the acquisition.
(B) Acquisition Goodwill.
--------------------
The excess of purchase price over net assets purchased, plus $172,550
of acquisition- related costs, have been recorded as goodwill and will
be amortized on the straight-line method over 15 years.
(C) Liabilities Assumed Under Line of Credit.
----------------------------------------
The balance outstanding under the line of credit on the acquisition
date had been reduced by the pay-down against the line of credit of
the $5 million purchase price deposit made June 26, 2000; therefore,
the assumed liability of the line of credit has been restated to
recognize the pay-down of the line with the deposit.
(D) Subordinated Notes Payable.
--------------------------
The Subordinated Notes issued by Vintage as partial payment of the
purchase price, are subordinated in all respects to indebtedness
incurred under Hampshire Group's Credit Agreement and outstanding
Insurance Notes, bear interest at 9.5% to 11.5% per annum and are due
in full in 2.5 to 4 years. Hampshire Group and its Chairman have
guaranteed Vintage's obligations pursuant to the Subordinated Notes.
(E) Commitments and Contingencies.
-----------------------------
In conjunction with the acquisition, Vintage assumed the purchase
commitments of Item-Eyes which were guaranteed by approximately $5.8
million of open letters of credit.
(F) Common Stock.
------------
As partial payment of the purchase price, Hampshire Group, Limited
issued 395,382 unregistered shares of its common stock, par value
$0.10 per share, which has been recorded at an assumed fair market
value of $6.885 per share. The assumed fair market value was
determined by averaging the closing price of the stock, as reported by
the NASDAQ market, for five trading days prior to and five trading
days subsequent to August 20, 2000. Further, the average closing price
was discounted 15% due to lack of marketability of the unregistered
shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000 (COMPILED) AND 1999 (REVIEWED)
1. Nature of business:
The Company, located in New York, is a manufacturer providing branded and
private label women's apparel both domestically and internationally.
2. Significant accounting policies:
a. Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.
b. Property and equipment:
The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are
amortized on the straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of
the related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Depreciation is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods.
c. Income taxes:
The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to be
taxed as an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, which
provides that, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders are
taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income.
Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes is
reflected in these financial statements. A provision has been made for
any state and local taxes.
d. Cash concentration:
The Company maintains its cash accounts primarily in two commercial
banks located in New York. The total cash balances are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000.

JUNE 30, 2000 (COMPILED) AND 1999 (REVIEWED)
2. Significant accounting policies: (Continued)
e. Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the year. The Company's most significant financial
statement estimate is the allowance for customer allowances and
doubtful accounts. Management determines the estimate of the allowance
for customer allowances and doubtful accounts considering a number of
factors, including historical experience, aging of the accounts,
provision for allowances based on specific agreements with customers
and the current credit worthiness of its customers. Management
believes that its estimates provided in the financial statements,
including those for the previously described item are reasonable.
However, actual results could differ from those estimates.
f. Advertising costs:
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $25,000
and $36,000, respectively.
g. Credit risk:
The Company routinely extends credit to domestic and international
retailers for the sale of its women's apparel. This credit risk may be
affected by changes in economic or other conditions and may,
accordingly, impact the Company's overall credit risk. Management
believes that the credit risk is mitigated by the diversity of its
customer base. Reserves for potential credit losses are maintained and
such losses have been immaterial to the Company's financial position
and within management's expectations.

of time, the option reverts to the remaining stockholders. The methodology
for determining the purchase price is set forth in the agreement.
As part of the same agreement, upon the death of a stockholder, the Company
or its other stockholders shall have the irrevocable and exclusive option,

1. Nature of business:
The Company, located in New York, is a manufacturer providing branded and
private label women's apparel both domestically and internationally.
2. Significant accounting policies:
a. Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market. Inventory costs include raw material, contractor labor,
freight, duty and importing costs.
b. Property and equipment:
The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are
amortized on the straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of
the related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Depreciation is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods.
Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and improvements which do not
materially extend the useful lives of the assets are charged to
expense.
c. Income taxes:
The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to be
taxed as an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, which
provides that, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders are
taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income.
Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes is
reflected in these statements. A provision has been made for any state
and local taxes based on statutory rates.
d. Cash concentration:
The Company maintains its cash accounts primarily in two commercial
banks located in New York. The total cash balances are insured by the

2. Significant accounting policies: (Continued)
e. Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the year. The Company's most significant financial
statement estimate is the allowance for customer allowances and
doubtful accounts. Management determines the estimate of the allowance
for customer allowances and doubtful accounts considering a number of
factors, including historical experience, aging of the accounts,
provision for allowances based on specific agreements with customers
and the current credit worthiness of its customers. Management
believes that its estimates provided in the financial statements,
including those for the previously described item, are reasonable.
However, actual results could differ from those estimates.
f. Advertising costs:
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for
the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was approximately $83,000
and $63,000, respectively.
g. Credit risk:
The Company routinely extends credit to domestic and international
retailers for the sale of its women's apparel. This credit risk may be
affected by changes in economic or other conditions and may,
accordingly, impact the Company's overall credit risk. Management
believes that the credit risk is mitigated by the diversity of its
customer base. Reserves for potential credit losses are maintained and
such losses have been immaterial to the Company's financial position
and within management's expectations.

but not the obligation, to purchase the Company's common stock from the
estate of the deceased stockholder. The acquisition price is determined in

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
1. Nature of business:
The Company, located in New York, is a manufacturer providing branded and
private label women's apparel both domestically and internationally.
2. Significant accounting policies:
a. Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.
b. Property and equipment:
The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are
amortized on the straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of
the related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Depreciation is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods.
c. Income taxes:
The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, elected to be taxed
as an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, which provides
that, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders are taxed on
their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore,
no provision or liability for federal income taxes is reflected in
these statements. A provision has been made for any state and local
taxes.
d. Cash concentration:
The Company maintains its cash accounts primarily in two commercial
banks located in New York. The total cash balances are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000.
e. Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

1. Nature of business:
The Company, located in New York, is a manufacturer providing branded and
private label women's apparel both domestically and internationally.
2. Significant accounting policies:
a. Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.
b. Property and equipment:
The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are
amortized on the straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of
the related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Depreciation is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods.
c. Income taxes:
The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, elected to be taxed
as an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, which provides
that, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders are taxed on
their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore,
no provision or liability for federal income taxes is reflected in
these statements. A provision has been made for any state and local
taxes.
d. Cash concentration:
The Company maintains its cash accounts primarily in two commercial
banks located in New York. The total cash balances are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000.
e. Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
