CARLYLE GOLF, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 1997, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 1997 and 1996. The operating results for the nine month period ended July 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 1997. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996. 2. ACQUISITION OF PRO-LINE CAP COMPANY: On January 24, 1997, Carlyle Golf, Inc. acquired substantially all of the assets of Star Point Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a Pro-Line Cap Company of Fort Worth, Texas ("Pro-Line"), a producer of high quality sized and adjustable athletic and golf headwear. The total consideration for the Pro-Line acquisition was approximately $6.0 million. The Pro-Line acquisition was financed through a combination of issuance of common and preferred stock and the assumption of certain liabilities. The Pro-Line acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the net purchase price was allocated to the various purchased assets in relation to their fair value at the date of purchase. The results of operations of Pro- Line have been included in the Company's results of operations from February 1, 1997, since the results for the period from January 24, 1997 to January 31, 1997 are not significant. CARLYLE GOLF, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. ACQUISITION OF PRO-LINE CAP COMPANY (continued): The following table presents the unaudited pro forma results of operations as if the Pro-Line acquisition had occurred on November 1, 1995. The summary pro forma results are based on assumptions and are not necessarily indicative of the results which would have occurred had the acquisition actually taken place on such date, or of the future results of operations of the Company.

TERM NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK: The Company was not in compliance with the financial covenants as of July 31, 1997, but subsequently obtained a waiver from the bank. 4. CAPITALIZED LEASE OBLIGATION: In June 1997, the Company entered into a capital lease for $265,975 to acquire embroidery equipment. The lease is secured by the equipment and is due in monthly installments of principal and interest over a term of sixty months. The interest rate on the lease is 9.9%. 5. NOTES PAYABLE TO STOCKHODERS: In July 1997, the Company obtained a loan from its majority shareholder for $800,000, which loan is evidenced by a promissory note. The note is secured by accounts receivable, equipment, and inventory, which collateral is subordinated to the security interests of Norwest Business Credit, Inc. While principal and accrued interest on the note was due September 9, 1997, it was not paid at that time. As a result, principal and interest are payable on demand. The interest rate on the note is 12.5%. CARLYLE GOLF, INC. Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations THE COMPANY Carlyle Golf, Inc. (the "Company") has been engaged in the design, contract for manufacture and marketing of men's golf apparel since 1992. Since February of 1997, the Company has also been engaged in the manufacture, marketing and sale of high quality athletic headwear. The Company markets Carlyle apparel to golf pro shops located on golf courses in the United States and throughout the world and sells Pro-Line caps to a variety of sporting goods companies, athletic organizations, colleges and other customers across the country. Historically, the Company focused on developing its golf clothing products, marketing strategy, and distribution network as the foundation for growth. In particular, the Company obtained endorsements of its golf clothing by PGA Touring Professionals, formed an Advisory Council comprised of 25 golf professionals employed by golf clubs, country clubs and resorts across the country and organized a network of experienced independent sales representatives. Since the Pro-Line acquisition, the Company's marketing emphasis has been on capitalizing on the natural synergies between its golf clothing line and the athletic headwear produced by Pro-Line. PRODUCTS Golf Clothing. The Company's golf apparel products are currently limited to men's clothing, including shirts, sweaters, sweater vests, windshirts, shorts and outer wear garments. The Company is exploring the possibility of expanding into the women's golf apparel market, through acquisition, internal product development or otherwise, but has not yet done so. The Company designs a broad range of golf clothing with the use of different knits, colors and fabrics to assure that the line appeals to a wide age range of golfers. The line is developed starting with four or five color stories so that individuals can find variety within a color that best suits them. Accessory garments such as sweaters and sweater vests are designed to complement the shirts within a color story. A variety of knit fabrications are used, such as interlock, pique, jacquard, crepe, jersey, and pima, to give each golfer the maximum choice in his buying decision. The Company currently has approximately 60 products in each line. The Company's spring and fall lines are introduced at major golf trade shows in January and September of each year. The prices for the Company's golf clothing ($55-$70 suggested retail) are between the middle and high end of the market for men's golf apparel. Management believes that focusing on a high quality product in the upper end of the middle market is the best strategy for long term profitability. CARLYLE GOLF, INC. Products (continued) Athletic Headwear. The Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Pro- Line Cap Company on January 24, 1997. Pro-Line produces its high-quality sized and adjustable athletic and golf headwear in the United States. The business combination has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of the operations of Pro-Line are included in the Company's financial statements beginning February 1, 1997. The headwear manufacturing and related operations were recently consolidated from four different locations into two locations in the Ft. Worth, Texas area. The bulk of the Company's headwear products are baseball style caps embroidered with the logo of various sports teams, colleges and universities and other widely known emblems or logos. While the Company's golf-related headwear business is a relatively small portion of Pro-Line's existing business, the Company has established a golf headwear division and is aggressively marketing Pro-Line products to pro shops and other golf-related customers. The Company offers five different cap profiles, ranging from the traditional, high crown, structured baseball cap, to the unstructured, low profile hat popular for casual wear today. Available fabrics include 100% wool, wool blends, cotton polyester twill or knit, as well as "soft touch" cotton and washed denim. Besides applying the logos of well-known professional sports teams, colleges and universities, the Company does customized embroidery work for businesses, schools, special events and amateur athletics at all levels. Sales and Marketing In addition to its immediate plan to establish Pro-Line headwear as a leader in the golf headwear market, the Company plans to enhance its marketing efforts and increase sales by (i) promoting the Carlyle and Pro-Line names through advertising, (ii) fostering brand recognition by the use of PGA Tour players wearing the Company's golf clothing at golf tournaments (most of which are televised), (iii) continuing to use an Advisory Council of PGA Club Professionals to advise the Company on a variety of issues, (iv) increasing its customer base by emphasizing on-time delivery and quality manufacturing and embroidery, (v) expanding its product line, (vi) increasing its average sale per customer, (vii) further developing the corporate market, (viii) augmenting its relations with college golf teams to include bookstores and college golf tournaments, (ix) enlarging its network of international distributors, and (x) selectively acquiring other golf-related businesses that complement its existing products. CARLYLE GOLF, INC. Sales and Marketing (continued) In the United States, the Company has 33 independent sales representatives selling Carlyle golf clothing, and 73 sales representatives, including 31 golf- related sales representatives, selling its athletic headwear. These sales representatives are supported by in-house support staff, including sales management, customer service and marketing. The Company also has distributors in the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Guam and Singapore. The Company's golf clothing is represented on the Senior PGA Tour, the PGA Tour, the Nike Tour, the European Tour, the Asian Tour, and the Japanese Tour. Advisory Council members support the Company's apparel lines by promoting the brand within their PGA section, wearing the product, and giving advice and counsel on the design of each line. The Company plans to continue to market its athletic headwear products to the non-golf markets traditionally served by Pro-Line, but the Company's primary focus will be on expanding its golf-related athletic headwear business by utilizing Carlyle's golf industry marketing resources, including its network of independent sales representatives, to sell Pro-Line athletic headwear. The Company also believes that there may be some opportunities to sell its clothing through Pro-Line's non-golf distribution channels, such as sales to universities and businesses, but does not expect those sales to be material to its golf clothing sales overall. Facilities The Company's business offices and distribution facility in Denver consist of approximately 13,000 square feet of leased space used for offices, warehousing, distribution and embroidery operations. The Company also owns a 28,000 square- foot office building which serves as the administrative building for Pro-Line Cap Company. The building is a two-story building located at 8224 White Settlement Road, Ft. Worth, Texas. In addition, the Company also leases a 46,000 square-foot warehouse building at 712 Jennings in Ft. Worth, Texas, which it uses for manufacturing and distribution. CARLYLE GOLF, INC. Results of Operations Net sales for the quarter ended July 31, 1997, were $2,836,354, an increase of $1,547,354, or 120.0%, from net sales of $1,289,000 for the same quarter in 1996. Net sales for the nine months ended July 31, 1997, were $6,741,037, an increase of $3,626,015, or 116.4%, from net sales of $3,115,022 for the same period in 1996. The increase in net sales is attributable to the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Star Point Enterprises, Inc. dba Pro-Line Cap Company and the inclusion of Pro-Line's results of operations since February 1, 1997. Additionally, the Company's sales of golf clothing increased 17.9% for the quarter ended July 31, 1997 and 24.0% for the nine month period ended July 31, 1997 due to increased demand for its apparel products and an expansion of its product lines. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 75.2% and 80.6% for the quarters ended July 31, 1997 and July 31, 1996, respectively. The Company's increase in gross margin from the prior year is primarily due to a smaller proportion of sales of older inventory being sold at lower prices. Management believes that the Company will improve its gross margin during the remainder of 1997 as a result of increased shipments of the Company's current lines and anticipated economies of scale due to the Pro-Line acquisition. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales to 46.0% for the quarter ended July 31, 1997, from 40.1% for the same quarter in 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 1997 were 45.6% of net sales as compared to 44.1% for the same period in 1996. The increase in the quarter is due to additional advertising incurred to capitalize on the acquisition of Pro-Line, as well as increases in catalog costs and advisory council compensation. Also included in the quarter was approximately $45,000 of one-time moving expenses for the consolidation of the Pro-Line facilities. The Company expects to make further consolidations to capitalize on the synergies of the two divisions during the remainder of fiscal 1997 and in fiscal 1998. Loss per share was $(.15) for the quarter ended July 31, 1997 and $(.07) for the quarter ended July 31, 1996. Loss per share was $(.35) for the nine months ended July 31, 1997, as compared to $(.19) for the same period in 1996. The loss per share for the quarter end periods are based on 5,391,258 and 4,572,309 weighted average shares outstanding for 1997 and 1996, respectively. The loss per share for the nine month periods are based on 5,262,035 and 4,385,768 weighted average shares outstanding for 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company currently sells to domestic and foreign customers. The Company obtains a letter of credit, when deemed necessary, on foreign sales. The Company requires remittance in United States currency on all foreign sales. Therefore, there is no risk associated with currency fluctuation on foreign sales. CARLYLE GOLF, INC. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since the creation of the Company in 1992, it has focused on developing its products, marketing strategy and distribution network as the foundation for growth and, as a result, it has incurred losses since its inception. With the Company's entry into the athletic headwear business in February of 1997, the Company is trying to capitalize on the complementary nature of its two product lines to increase sales of both. The ability of the Company to achieve profitable operations remains dependent, however, upon its ability to increase sales and improve gross profit margins of its golf clothing and athletic headwear lines. The Company plans to continue to improve gross margins in its existing operations by controlling the quantity of inventory purchases to correspond more closely to its sales orders. The Company has concentrated on carrying the appropriate levels of inventory to allow for growth but also dispose of older styles of inventory in a systematic method. The Company plans to achieve economies of scale from the acquisition of Pro-Line Cap Company through cross penetration into each other's markets, cost savings through increased quantity discounts on purchases and consolidation of advertising and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will achieve the level of sales, gross profit margins or expense reductions to achieve profitable operations in the near term. The Company has experienced substantial growth since 1993, with its net sales growing from $200,000 in fiscal 1993 to over $4,000,000 in fiscal 1996. The growth in sales has increased the Company's working capital requirements, principally to fund the losses incurred and for increases in accounts receivable and finished goods inventory. The Company financed its operations until August of 1994 with a combination of bank borrowings and the sale of private equity. From August 1994 until June 1996, the Company funded its growth through the proceeds of its initial public offering and a bank revolving line of credit. In June 1996, the Company sold an additional 633,873 shares of Common Stock to the directors and management of the Company which raised net proceeds of $1,003,009. The Company used those proceeds, plus advances under the bank line, to fund its operations for the remainder of fiscal 1996 and the beginning of fiscal 1997. In July 1997, the Company obtained an $800,000 short term loan from its largest shareholder to fund its operations until additional equity financing can be obtained. The Company expects to use the bank line of credit to fund its operations during the remainder of fiscal 1997. The Company is actively seeking additional capital at this time to fund its operations and to sustain growth. There can be no assurance, however, that sufficient capital will be available from the private or public markets in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. CARLYLE GOLF, INC. Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued) Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of Pro-Line, Star Point Enterprises loaned the Company the sum of $1,243,000, and the Company agreed to use its best efforts to obtain additional financing, for, among other purposes, the repayment of this loan. The loan is due on January 24, 1998. As of July 31, 1997, the Company had $173,149 in cash and cash equivalents on hand. As of July 31, 1997, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,450,357 principally as a result of the classification of the Star Point Enterprises loan as current. Operating activities produced negative cash flows of $321,082 for the quarter ended July 31, 1997, and $1,215,099 for the nine months ended July 31, 1997. The primary uses of cash were to fund the Company's year to date net loss and to finance current inventory purchases. The Company's investing activities were comprised of property and equipment purchases totaling $141,723 for the quarter ended July 31, 1997, and $208,988 for the nine month period ended July 31, 1997. The purchases include leasehold improvements, office and warehouse equipment. Financing activities produced positive cash flows of $612,958 for the quarter ended July 31, 1997, and $1,579,193 for the nine months ended July 31, 1997, primarily representing advances under the Company's line of credit and proceeds from the shareholder loan. Forward Looking Statements To the extent that this report includes predictions of the Company's future performance or discloses the expectations of management of the Company as to such performance, such statements are forward looking statements the accuracy of which cannot be guaranteed by the Company or its management. For example, a downturn in general economic conditions, adverse developments in the "green grass" golf apparel industry, unanticipated problems with or delays by the Company's cutting and sewing contractors or fabric suppliers, labor disputes, production delays, quality control problems, or the failure of presently anticipated funding sources to materialize or continue, among other possibilities, could cause these forward looking statements to prove to be incorrect.
