Supplemental disclosure of noncash investing and financing activities:    
    
     In connection with the repurchase of outstanding stock options of a 
     subsidiary from the Founder of the subsidiary during the three month 
     period ended March 31, 1996, the Company gave consideration of    
     $2,111,000, consisting of notes payable to the Founder of $1,736,000 
     and the forgiveness of a $375,000 note receivable from the Founder.  The 
     Company allocated the entire purchase price to goodwill.    
    
     In connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets 
     of Alp Sport Sandals during the three month period ended March 31, 1995, 
     the Company acquired net assets aggregating $1,258,000 for cash 
     consideration and $1,066,000 of indebtedness.

            Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements    
                                 (Unaudited)    
    
(1)  General    
    
     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been 
     prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial 
     statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments 
     (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair 
     presentation for each of the periods presented.  The results of operations 
     for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be 
     achieved for full fiscal years.    
    
     As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Rule 
     10-01 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying consolidated financial 
     statements and related footnotes have been condensed and do not contain 
     certain information that will be included in the Company's annual 
     consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto.  For further 
     information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related 
     footnotes for the year ended December 31, 1995 included in the Company's 
     Annual Report on Form 10-K.    
    
(2)  Earnings per Share    
    
     Net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common 
     and common equivalent shares outstanding.  Common stock equivalents    
     represent the number of shares which would be issued assuming the exercise 
     of common stock options and reduced by the number of shares which could be 
     purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of those options.    
    
     Fully diluted net earnings per share are not presented since the amounts 
     do not differ significantly from the primary net earnings per share    
     presented.    
    
(3)  Inventory    
    
     Inventory at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 is summarized as    
      follows:

(4)  Income Taxes    
    
     Income taxes for the interim periods were computed using the effective tax 
     rate estimated to be applicable for the full fiscal year, which is subject 
     to ongoing review and evaluation by management.    
    
(5)  Repurchase of Stock Options    
    
     In connection with the acquisition of Simple Shoes, Inc. ("Simple") in    
     1993, the founder and President of Simple (the "Founder") retained an    
     option to acquire up to a 10% interest in Simple.  On April 4, 1996, the 
     Company entered into an agreement, effective January 1, 1996, to reacquire 
     such option from the Founder for $2,500,000, less the $300,000 exercise    
     price of the option.  The Company made the first installment payment in    
     April 1996 and the remaining non-interest bearing installment of    
     $1,100,000 is due January 1, 1997.    
    
     The Company allocated the entire purchase price to goodwill, which is    
     being amortized over the remaining 18 year life of the goodwill.    
    
(6)  Credit Facility    
    
     Pursuant to an amendment, the availability under the Company's $45,000,000 
     revolving credit facility ("the Facility") was reduced to $25,000,000    
     based on certain eligible assets, as defined, effective as of February 29, 
     1996.  The Facility can be used for working capital and general corporate 
     purposes and expires August 1, 2000.  Borrowings bear interest at the    
     bank's prime rate (8.25% at March 31, 1996) plus up to 0.25%, depending on 
     whether the Company satisfies certain financial ratios.  Alternatively, 
     the Company may elect to have borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% 
     to 1.75%, depending on whether the Company satisfies such financial    
     ratios.  Up to $7,000,000 of borrowings may be in the form of letters of 
     credit.  The Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the    
     Company. As of March 31, 1996, the Company had borrowed $10,000,000 under 
     the Facility and $14,268,000 was available for borrowing.    
    
     The agreement underlying the Facility includes certain restrictive    
     covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain    
     certain financial tests.  The Company was in compliance with all    
     requirements as of March 31, 1996.    
    
(7)  Stock-Based Compensation    
    
     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
     Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" 
     (FAS 123), which was issued in October 1995.  This statement encourages, 
     but does not require, a fair value based method of accounting for employee 
     stock options or similar equity instruments.  FAS 123 allows an entity to 
     elect to continue to measure compensation cost under Accounting Principles 
     Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"    
     (APBO No. 25), but requires pro forma disclosures of net earnings and    
     earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting had    
     been applied.  The Company has elected to continue to measure compensation 
     cost under APBO No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and 
     will comply with the pro forma disclosure requirements in its December 31, 
     1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The adoption of FAS 123 had no impact 
     on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

(8)  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets    
    
     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial    
     Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment 
     of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which 
     was issued in March 1995.  This statement establishes accounting standards 
     for the recognition and measurement of impairment of long-lived assets, 
     certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill either to be held or    
     disposed of.  The adoption of FAS 121 did not have a material impact on 
     the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS    
    
    
         Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended March 
         31, 1995    
    
         Net sales decreased by $7,311,000 or 20.3% between the three months 
         ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  Whereas the first quarter of 1995 was 
         the best quarter ever for sales of the Company's Teva registered    
         trademark line, in the first quarter of 1996 the Company continued to 
         be impacted by the poor overall retail markets and the abundance of 
         sport sandals in the marketplace which began in the second quarter of 
         1995.  As a result, sales of the Teva registered trademark line    
         decreased from $30,203,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 
         to $18,600,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, a 38.4% 
         decrease.  Sales of Teva registered trademark products represented 
         83.7% and 64.6% of net sales in the three months ended March 31, 1995 
         and 1996, respectively.  While Teva registered trademark sales    
         declined in comparison to the prior year period, the Company    
         experienced a continued increase in the net sales of footwear under 
         the Simple registered trademark product line, which increased 67.4%, 
         from $4,768,000 to $7,983,000 between the three months ended March 31, 
         1995 and 1996.  Overall, international sales for all of the Company's 
         products increased 57.6% from $5,734,000 to $9,035,000, representing 
         15.9% of net sales in 1995 and 31.4% in 1996. The combination of these 
         factors lead to a net decrease in the volume of footwear sold, which 
         decreased from 1,263,000 pairs during the three months ended March 31, 
         1995 to 1,107,000 pairs during the three months ended March 31, 1996, 
         a 12.4% decrease.    
    
         The weighted average wholesale price per pair sold during these    
         respective periods decreased from $29.32 to $24.88, or by 15.1%.  The 
         decrease in the average wholesale price reflects the continued sale of 
         the remaining 1995 Teva registered trademark sport sandals at    
         discounted prices, which selling prices approximated the carrying    
         value of the inventory.  In addition, the Company reduced the prices 
         of certain Teva registered trademark styles since the first quarter of 
         1995 in order to promote a more even distribution of price points    
         between the high and low points.  The Company believes that having    
         such an even price point distribution will place one or more styles at 
         each desired price level.    
    
         Cost of sales decreased by $2,439,000 to $16,182,000 for the three 
         months ended March 31, 1996, compared with $18,621,000 for the three 
         months ended March 31, 1995, a decrease of 13.1%.  Gross profit    
         decreased by $4,872,000, or 27.9%, to $12,590,000 for the three months 
         ended March 31, 1996 from $17,462,000 for the three months ended March 
         31, 1995 and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 43.8% from    
         48.4%.  The decrease in gross profit margin as a percentage of net    
         sales was primarily due to the sale of 1995 closeout inventory at    
         discounted prices as well as the reduction in prices on certain Teva 
         registered trademark styles for the 1996 season, as discussed above. 
    
         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $477,000, or 
         5.1%, between the three months ended March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996 
         and increased as a percentage of net sales from 26.0% in 1995 to 34.2% 
         in 1996.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in the reserve 
         for potential uncollectable receivables; the addition of the   
         operations of Ugg Holdings, Inc.; increased marketing efforts for the 
         Simple registered trademark product line; and increased payroll costs 
         related to newly created positions.  Such increases were partially 
         offset by the decrease in royalty expense and sales commission expense 
         resulting from the decrease in sales volume.  The increase as a   
         percentage of net sales also occurred as certain selling, general and 
         administrative expenses include certain fixed costs and, therefore, 
         total selling, general and administrative expenses do not fluctuate 
         proportionately with changes in sales volume.

                               AND SUBSIDIARIES   
   
         Income taxes were $1,191,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
         1996, representing an effective income tax rate of 44.6%, compared 
         with income taxes of $3,343,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
         1995, representing an effective income tax rate of 41.5%.  The    
         increase in the effective income tax rate from 1995 to 1996 is largely 
         a result of the goodwill associated with the acquisition of Ugg    
         Holdings, Inc. which is not deductible for income tax reporting    
         purposes. In addition, the Company experienced non-deductible losses 
         at certain subsidiaries which are consolidated for financial reporting 
         purposes but which are not consolidated for income tax reporting    
         purposes.    
    
         The Company had net earnings of $1,479,000 for the three months ended 
         March 31, 1996 as compared with net earnings of $4,713,000 for the 
         three months ended March 31, 1995, a decrease of 68.6%, for the    
         reasons discussed above.    
    
         Liquidity and Capital Resources     
    
         At March 31, 1996, working capital was $40,382,000 including    
         $3,596,000 of cash and cash equivalents.  Cash provided by operating 
         activities aggregated $4,373,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
         1996.     
    
         Pursuant to an amendment, the availability under the Company's    
         $45,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "Facility") was reduced to 
         $25,000,000 based on certain eligible assets, as defined, effective as 
         of February 29, 1996.  The Facility can be used for working capital 
         and general corporate purposes and expires August 1, 2000.  Borrowings 
         bear interest at the bank's prime rate (8.25% at March 31, 1996) plus 
         up to 0.25%, depending on whether the Company satisfies certain    
         financial ratios.  Alternatively, the Company may elect to have    
         borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% to 1.75%, depending on    
         whether the Company satisfies such financial ratios.  Up to $7,000,000 
         of borrowings may be in the form of letters of credit.  The Facility 
         is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. As of March 31, 
         1996, the Company had $10,000,000 in borrowings outstanding under the 
         Facility and $14,268,000 was available for borrowings.    
    
         The agreement underlying the Facility includes certain restrictive 
         covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain 
         certain financial tests.  The Company was in compliance with all 
         requirements as of March 31, 1996.    
    
         The Company has an agreement with a supplier to provide financing for 
         the start-up and the expansion of the supplier's operations, of which 
         $2,785,000 was outstanding at March 31, 1996.  The note is secured by 
         all assets of the supplier and bears interest at the prime rate (8.25% 
         at March 31, 1996) plus 1%.    
    
         Capital expenditures totaled $220,000 for the three months ended March 
         31, 1996.  The Company's capital expenditures related primarily to the 
         purchase of machinery and equipment, the continued expansion of the 
         Company's facilities and upgrades to the Company's computer systems. 
         The Company currently has no material future commitments for capital 
         expenditures.    
    
         In connection with the acquisition of Ugg Holdings, Inc. in 1995, the 
         Company is required to make future payments to the former shareholders 
         equal to 2 1/2% of net sales of Ugg Holdings, Inc. for the years 
         ending March 31, 1996 through March 31, 2000, an amount equal to 
         earnings before income taxes of Ugg Holdings, Inc., as adjusted for 
         certain items, for the year ended March 31, 1996 and an additional 
         $500,000 payment in March 2000.    
    
         The Company believes that internally generated funds, the available 
         borrowings under its existing credit facilities and the cash on hand 
         will provide sufficient liquidity to enable it to meet its current and 
         foreseeable working capital requirements.

         Seasonality    
    
         Financial results for the outdoor and footwear industries are    
         generally seasonal.  Based on the Company's historical product mix, 
         the Company would expect greater sales in the first and second    
         quarters than in the third and fourth quarters.  However, the Company 
         anticipates that the recent acquisition of Ugg Holdings, Inc., which 
         is counterseasonal to the Company's sport sandal line, will help    
         reduce the impact of seasonality.    
    
         Other    
    
         The Company believes that the relatively moderate rates of inflation 
         in recent years have not had a significant impact on its net sales or 
         profitability.    
    
         New Accounting Standards     
    
         Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
         Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based    
         Compensation" (FAS 123), which was issued in October 1995.  This    
         statement encourages, but does not require, a fair value based method 
         of accounting for employee stock options or similar equity    
         instruments.  FAS 123 allows an entity to elect to continue to measure 
         compensation cost under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,    
         "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APBO No. 25), but requires 
         pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share as if the 
         fair value based method of accounting had been applied.  The Company 
         has elected to continue to measure compensation cost under APBO No. 
         25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and will comply with 
         the pro forma disclosure requirements in its December 31, 1996 Annual 
         Report on Form   10-K.  The adoption of FAS 123 had no impact on the 
         Company's financial position or results of operations.    
    
         Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
         Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment 
         of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," 
         which was issued in March 1995.  This statement establishes accounting 
         standards for the recognition and measurement of impairment of    
         long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill    
         either to be held or disposed of.  The adoption of FAS 121 did not 
         have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results 
         of operations.
