LETTER TO THE STOCKHOLDERS

FOSSIL management is pleased to have delivered a solid financial performance in
1999 having once again achieved record levels of sales and earnings.

Now our focus is squarely on the future and how the Company is positioned to
address the challenges ahead. Our focus for the future includes:

- - Capitalizing on the fact that markets are becoming increasingly global.
- - Continuing to expand within existing distribution channels.
- - Maximizing both commercial and operating benefits brought on by the
advancement of the Internet.
- - Positioning our brands to attract an increasingly influential younger
consumer while still appealing to a wider customer base.
- - Building and retaining a strong management team that will enable us to
effectively respond to these challenges.

The following more specifically outlines each of the above mentioned focuses.

GLOBAL MARKETS

FOSSIL has continued to impact international markets by establishing sales and
distribution points throughout the world. Our global infrastructure includes
wholly owned subsidiaries, joint venture partnerships and third party
distribution relationships that cover more than 85 countries. Our global
business is profitable and has a tremendous opportunity for further expansion.

CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION

Our Company has the advantage of operating across several unique distribution
channels that can grow independently of each other.

Domestically, the FOSSIL brand has established itself as a leading brand name in
the accessory departments of major department stores. The power of the FOSSIL
brand and our ability to attract a young, hip customer has also enabled us to
increase our market presence within specialty stores and watch-specific
retailers. In addition, our expansion of company-owned FOSSIL Stores will
continue to serve as showcases for our brand and products while at the same
time, continuing to drive revenue and earnings.

Sales of RELIC brand watches grew in excess of 80% last year. There is
tremendous room for future growth as RELIC watches continue to turn faster at
retail than competitors in the national and chain department store channel of
distribution. Retailers are expanding the importance of RELIC within their watch
assortments and are open to the expansion of the brand into other non-watch
categories.

The mass-market channel of distribution also represents an opportunity for the
Company through a strategic alliance with Seiko Instruments America, Inc.

INTERNET

The Company's product lines are a natural fit for commerce over the Internet. We
established FOSSIL.COM five years ago and were one of the first retailers
selling product over AOL's shopping channel. Today our presence on the web has
grown to include alliances with several portals and affiliate sites drawing
three million unique visitors to our site during 1999. This year we are also
launching our own business-to-business site that will offer broader and more
timely service to smaller specialty stores that do not yet have all the
electronic capabilities of their department store counterparts. Our next
challenge is to develop communication lines utilizing the web to tie our
suppliers into our Company in order to reduce inventory lead times and dollars
invested in inventory at any point in time.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Today's young consumers are influencing the marketplace to a magnitude that has
not been experienced previously. Many companies rush to market with products
that appeal to these consumers only to discover that what is "in" today is "out"
tomorrow. Our Company has been successful in attracting this younger
consumer--while still managing to appeal to a much wider customer base, both
male and female. We have accomplished this by becoming a true "Left Brain/Right
Brain" company. We believe our creative design and product development groups
(Left Brain) are unparalleled in our industry. We have also developed
sophisticated internal systems that enable us to rapidly track and adjust to
changes in consumer preferences (Right Brain). This combination of art and
science creates a strategic advantage that keeps our products in the mainstream
of consumer preferences and our inventory levels (plus markdown exposure) under
control.

MANAGEMENT TEAM

The majority of our management team has a retail background. They have lived
through and adapted to the constant change inherent in retail businesses. Over
the past seven years as a public company, our management team has demonstrated a
consistent ability to respond to the demands of a dynamic marketplace. This team
has implemented systems and built a Company that has grown stronger each
quarter, both financially and from an infrastructure perspective. They have
developed Company-owned brands that have consistently increased in recognition
and have significant momentum as we enter the new decade. It is important to
remember that FOSSIL's growth has come almost entirely through internal growth
as opposed to growth by acquisition.

In closing, we'd like to thank our dedicated employees all over the world for
the hard work and ingenuity that they demonstrate every day in building this
Company. We hope that you, as our stockholders, are pleased with the financial
performance that has been delivered in 1999 and are as excited as we are about
the significant opportunities that lie ahead for this Company.

Sincerely,

/s/ Tom Kartsotis /s/ Kosta Kartsotis

Chairman of the Board President

COMPANY OVERVIEW

The Company's long-term goal is to capitalize on the strength of the growing
consumer recognition of the FOSSIL and RELIC brands and to capture an increasing
share of a growing number of markets by providing consumers with fashionable,
high quality, value-driven products. The FOSSIL brand continued to be one of the
leading fashion watch brands in 1999, while continuing to gain momentum in sales
of non-watch products and increase brand presence globally.

FOSSIL PRODUCTS
WATCHES: The FOSSIL brand continued to build market share in department stores
in 1999. New product introductions under the Company's three core watch lines,
FOSSIL BLUE, FOSSIL STEEL and F2, represented the majority of the Company's
FOSSIL brand watch sales. The introduction of FOSSIL BIG TIC in the fall of 1998
was highly successful and contributed positively to sales growth throughout
1999. The Company recently introduced new products featuring titanium and
aluminum, as well as watches incorporating digital technology.

LEATHERS: The leather division continued to exhibit strong sales and earnings
growth in 1999 with significant increases in sales across nearly all of the
FOSSIL brand leather product lines. Handbags continued to increase market share
in 1999 further enhancing the visibility and sales of other accessory
categories. Strong growth should continue in the leather product category during
2000.

SUNGLASSES/OPTICAL FRAMES/LICENSED PRODUCTS: FOSSIL sunwear continued to show
double-digit growth in 1999 as a result of the wider breadth of price points and
design changes introduced in 1997. The overall success of the division was
spurred by significant growth in optical and specialty stores such as
Lenscrafters and Sunglass Hut. The Company also introduced FOSSIL brand optical
frames to optical stores in the United States during 1999 under a license
agreement with the Safilo Group. The Company continues to test new products
bearing the FOSSIL mark by utilizing license agreements with select partners.
The Company is careful to limit the size and penetration of these product
categories to be sure that the products are consistent with the brand image and
desirable to end consumers. The Company will continue to evaluate additional
license arrangements as a mechanism for product expansion as suitable products
and partners are identified.

APPAREL: In 2000, the Company announced plans to introduce a line of FOSSIL
brand apparel products. The apparel line will consist of casual wear and jeans
wear and will be available at approximately 12 new FOSSIL retail stores opening
in the third quarter of 2000.

RELIC PRODUCTS: RELIC brand watches continued to gain momentum in leading
national and regional chain department stores nearly doubling its sales volumes
over 1998. New RELIC visual presentations, fixtures and logo designs first
introduced in 1998 have assisted in increasing brand name recognition allowing
the Company to begin extending the RELIC brand to other accessory categories,
including handbags, small leather goods and men's and women's belts.

INTERNATIONAL SALES: Increasing demand for FOSSIL products worldwide, coupled
with the expansion of the EMPORIO ARMANI licensed line of watches, helped
broaden the Company's business tremendously across the globe. The FOSSIL brand
is available in over 85 countries around the world through the Company's
subsidiary operations, joint ventures and network of approximately 52
independent distributors. International distribution will continue to offer
excellent growth opportunities for the Company in 2000.

LICENSED BRANDS: The Company has a worldwide, multi-year licensing agreement
with Giorgio Armani for EMPORIO ARMANI OROLOGI, a line of watches featuring
distinctive interpretations of retro and modern design. Available in Emporio
Armani Boutiques, better department stores, specialty stores and select jewelry
stores, the line continues to grow in sales and distribution worldwide. The
Company also entered into worldwide, multi-year licensing agreements in 1999 to
manufacture, market and distribute fashion watches under the DKNY and DIESEL
brand names. The DKNY watch line was introduced in early 2000, with the DIESEL
launch scheduled for mid-year 2000.

FOSSIL STORES: The Company operated 17 retail stores at the end of 1999, adding
eight new locations during the year, including the Company's first retail store
in New York City. The FOSSIL stores continue to provide an exciting and
profitable format in which to display the Company's increasing product
assortments and to convey the FOSSIL brand image. The Company plans on opening
approximately 12 larger format retail stores in 2000 to accommodate the launch
of FOSSIL brand apparel. The Company also operated 33 outlet stores
coast-to-coast at the end of 1999. These stores allow the Company to control the
timely liquidation of discontinued styles while maintaining the integrity of the
FOSSIL brand.

PRIVATE LABEL AND PREMIUMS: In addition to building its own brand, the Company
also designs and manufactures private label products for some of the most
prestigious companies in the world, including national retailers, entertainment
companies and theme restaurants. The Company continues to expand its core
private label watch business as well as integrate other product categories such
as leather goods and eyewear. The Company's premium/incentive division utilizes
its sourcing, design, and development expertise to translate many corporate
themes, events, or promotions into a comprehensive custom product program.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Company is a leader in the design, development, marketing and
distribution of contemporary, high quality fashion watches and accessories.
The FOSSIL brand name was developed by the Company to convey a distinctive
fashion, quality and value message and a brand image reminiscent of
"America in the 1950s" that suggests a time of fun, fashion and humor.
Since its inception in 1984, the Company has grown from its original
flagship FOSSIL watch product into a Company offering a diversified range
of accessories. The Company's current product offerings include an
extensive line of fashion watches sold under its FOSSIL and RELIC brands as
well as complementary lines of small leather goods, belts, handbags and
sunglasses. In addition to developing its own brands, the Company leverages
its development and production expertise by designing and manufacturing
private label and licensed products for some of the most prestigious
companies in the world, including national retailers, entertainment
companies and fashion designers.

The Company's products are sold to department stores and specialty retail
stores in over 85 countries worldwide through Company-owned foreign sales
subsidiaries and through a network of approximately 52 independent
distributors. The Company's foreign operations include a presence in Asia,
Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, Central and South America and the
Middle East. In addition, the Company's products are offered at
Company-owned retail locations throughout the United States and in
independently-owned, authorized FOSSIL retail stores and kiosks located in
several major airports, on cruise ships and in certain international
markets. The Company's successful expansion of its product lines and
leveraging of its infrastructure has contributed to its increasing net
sales and operating profits.

[Graphic of various FOSSIL watches]

FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998
NET SALES. Net sales growth resulted from sales volume increases across nearly
all the Company's product lines and worldwide sales regions. Watch sales were
fueled by increased market penetration in department and specialty stores of the
Company's three core FOSSIL brand assortments in addition to sales from its Big
Tic watch line. Watch sales were also slightly amplified during the first half
of 1999 from (a) refilling of certain retailer's watch inventories after a very
successful 1998 holiday season and (b) a $7.2 million international-based sale
of non-branded premium incentive watches. Increased sales volumes in the
Company's leather and eyewear product offerings were generated through market
share increases in existing locations as well as through new points of sale.
Company-owned retail store expansion in both the Company's retail and outlet
stores, as well as increases in same store sales, also positively impacted
sales. Management anticipates continued sales volume growth during 2000 from
nearly all product lines and geographic areas from both existing products and
new product lines scheduled to be launched during the year.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit margins increased during 1999 primarily as a result
of an increase in the Company's sales mix of FOSSIL brand watches,
European-based sales, licensed designer brand watch sales and Company-owned
store sales. These sales categories generally result in higher gross profit
margins than the Company's consolidated average. Management believes gross
profit margins during fiscal 2000 will exceed 1999 levels slightly based on an
anticipated higher sales mix of licensed designer brand watch and Company-owned
store sales.

OPERATING EXPENSE. Operating expense increases were primarily to support
increased sales volumes. As a percentage of net sales, total selling, general
and administrative expenses decreased as a result of leveraging expenses against
higher net sales. Management anticipates operating expenses, as a percentage of
net sales, in fiscal 2000 to approximate 1999 levels. Management intends to
spend any additional earnings that would have generally resulted from leveraging
operating expenses against projected higher sales volumes on the long-term
growth of the Company. These initiatives include increased brand advertising,
web site development and advertising, new business development and the continued
investment in the Company's operational infrastructure.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income (expense)-net typically reflects interest
income from cash investments and the minority interests in the profit/loss of
the Company's majority-owned operations. The change in other income/expense was
favorable in 1999 as increases in interest income and royalty revenues from
licensing the FOSSIL brand offset increases in the minority interest share of
profits and additional foreign currency losses, due mainly to the strength of
the U.S. dollar.

FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1997
NET SALES. Sales volume increases of FOSSIL branded watches accounted for the
majority of net sales growth worldwide fueled by the continued growth in the
Company's FOSSIL BLUE and F2 watch lines. In addition, FOSSIL STEEL, a watch
line introduced in mid-1997, positively impacted sales volume growth as the line
developed into a core offering. Internationally, the process of aligning the
Company's watch collection offered in Europe with the Company's best selling
styles in the U.S., which the Company began mid-1997, resulted in significant
increases in the European sales momentum. "International Other" sales as denoted
in the above table, were negatively impacted in 1998 as a result of declining
sales in the Company's Asian-based operations, due primarily to the region's
economic problems, and an approximate $6 million sale during 1997 of non-branded
watches used as a premium incentive. Worldwide sales generated from the
continued roll-out of the Company's Emporio Armani licensed brand watches also
positively impacted watch sales during 1998. Leather and sunglass product sales,
which comprise the majority of the "Domestic Other" sales line in the above
table, each contributed double-digit growth to overall net sales increases in
1998. Continued expansion of Company-owned stores, as well as increases in same
store sales, has also added to sales volume growth.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit margin increases are primarily attributable to the
increased strength of the U.S. dollar over the Japanese Yen, an increased mix of
the Company's watch products supplied by its majority-owned assembly facilities
and increased sales through Company-owned retail locations. The Company's cost
of certain watch components declined as the U.S. dollar strengthened in relation
to the Japanese Yen.

OPERATING EXPENSE. Operating expense increases were due primarily to costs
necessary to support increased sales volumes, new ventures and new Company-owned
stores. As a percentage of net sales, total selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased as a result of leveraging expenses against higher sales
volumes.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). The change in other income/expense was favorable in 1998
primarily due to an increase in interest income from investing a higher level of
cash holdings and the non-recurrence of $0.7 million in legal settlements
incurred in 1997. These favorable changes were mitigated by an increase in the
minority interests in the profit/loss of the Company's majority-owned
operations.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

Management does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on results
of operations for the periods presented. Substantial increases in costs,
however, could have an impact on the Company and the industry. Management
believes that, to the extent inflation affects its costs in the future, the
Company could generally offset inflation by increasing prices if competitive
conditions permit.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

As a multinational enterprise, the Company is exposed to changes in foreign
currency exchange rates. The Company employs a variety of practices to manage
this market risk, including its operating and financing activities and, where
deemed appropriate, the use of derivative financial instruments. Forward
contracts have been utilized by the Company to mitigate foreign currency risk.
The Company's most significant foreign currency risk relates to the Euro and
Japanese Yen. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only for risk
management purposes and does not use them for speculation or for trading. There
were no significant changes in how the Company managed foreign currency
transactional exposures during 1999 and management does not anticipate any
significant changes in such exposures or in the strategies it employs to manage
such exposure in the near future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity needs have been, and are expected to remain, primarily a
function of its seasonal working capital requirements. Generally, starting in
the second quarter of each fiscal year, the Company's cash needs begin to
increase to finance the accumulation of inventory and the build-up of accounts
receivable. The Company's cash requirements typically peak in the
September-November time frame. Operating cash flow has generally funded the
Company's cash requirements and capital expenditures over the past few years.
The Company's primary capital requirements are for working capital, investing
activities associated with the expansion of its office and distribution
facilities, international growth, systems development and Company-owned store
development. During 1997, capital expenditures included the construction of a
138,000 square foot warehouse and distribution facility. The construction costs
of the facility were approximately $4.4 million. Long-term financing of $5.0
million was obtained in 1994 to cover building projects of which approximately
$4.4 million was outstanding at 1997 year-end. During January 1998, the Company
paid this long-term credit facility in full with available cash. Capital
expenditures during 1998 and 1999 were influenced by expenditures on computer
system hardware and software to address the potential Year 2000 issues, the
construction costs for additional Company-owned stores and the construction of
additional office space.

During 1998, the Company completed a secondary offering of 2,302,500 shares of
Common Stock in order to increase the liquidity of its Common Stock and to fund
working capital needs. Based on the Company's adequate cash levels on hand at
the time, only a small portion of the offering related to new Common Stock
issued by the Company from which it received approximately $3.6 million in cash
proceeds for working capital needs. The Company's Board of Directors during
1998, authorized management to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock
in open market purchases and in privately negotiated transactions. During fiscal
1998 and 1999, the Company repurchased 188,500 and 90,500 shares of Common
Stock, respectively, at a cost of approximately $2.6 million and $2.0 million,
respectively.

Management believes the Company's financial position remains extremely strong.
Working capital of $155.2 million and net cash balances (defined as cash and
cash equivalents plus short-term investments less current notes payable) of
$96.7 million existed at the end of fiscal 1999 compared to working capital of
$109.0 million and net cash balances of $52.7 million as of year-end 1998.
During fiscal year 2000, management believes capital expenditures may exceed
1999 levels to support the Company's planned opening of approximately 15 store
locations and further improvements of certain sales and distribution facilities.
As of fiscal year-end 1999, the Company had less than $1 million in capital
expenditure commitments. Short-term credit facilities totaling $43.0 million are
available to the Company for general working capital needs of which $5.0 million
was outstanding at the end of 1999. Management believes that cash flow from
operations and existing credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy its
capital expenditure requirements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Included within management's discussion and analysis of the Company's operating
results and this annual report, "forward-looking statements" were made within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding
expectations for fiscal 2000. The actual results may differ materially from
those expressed by these forward looking statements. Significant factors that
could cause the Company's 2000 operating results to differ materially from
management's current expectations include, among other items, significant
changes in consumer spending patterns or preferences, competition in the
Company's product areas, international in comparison to domestic sales mix,
changes in foreign currency valuations in relation to the United States Dollar,
principally the Euro and Japanese Yen, an inability of management to control
operating expenses in relation to net sales without damaging the long-term
direction of the Company and the risks and uncertainties set forth in the
Company's current report on Form 8-K dated March 30, 1999.

While the majority of the Company's products are not seasonal in nature, a
significant portion of the Company's net sales and operating income are
generally derived in the second half of the year. The Company's fourth quarter,
which includes the Christmas season, on average generates in excess of 35% of
the Company's annual operating income. The amount of net sales and operating
income generated during the first quarter is affected by the levels of inventory
held by retailers at the end of Christmas season, as well as general economic
conditions and other factors beyond the Company's control. In general, lower
levels of inventory at the end of the Christmas season may have a positive
effect on net sales and operating income in the first quarter as a result of
higher levels of restocking orders placed by retailers. Management currently
believes that the Company's inventory levels at its major customers as of the
end of 1999 were below targeted levels, and therefore could result in higher
order levels in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Management believes the
imbalance in inventory levels may be slightly less significant than it was at
the end of fiscal 1998.

As the Company increases the number of Company-owned outlet and retail stores,
it would generally amplify the Company's seasonality by decreasing the Company's
operating income in the first quarter and increasing the operating income in the
fourth quarter. In addition, new product line launches would generally augment
the sales levels in the quarter the product line launch takes place. The results
of operations for a particular quarter may also vary due to a number of factors,
including retail, economic and monetary conditions, timing of orders or holidays
and the mix of the products sold by the Company.

During the fourth quarter of 1999, operating expenses, as a percentage of net
sales, increased over the prior year comparable period. This increase was
primarily a result of increased levels of brand advertising, web development and
advertising and the continued investment in the Company's infrastructure.

30 SEE NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS include the accounts of Fossil, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). The Company reports
on a fiscal year reflecting the retail-based calendar (containing 4-4-5 week
calendar quarters). The Company changed to the retail-based calendar effective
January 1, 1997. Due to this change, the first quarter of fiscal 1997 contained
an additional one-half week for the transition period. This change had an
immaterial impact on comparability. Significant intercompany balances and
transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company is primarily engaged
in the design, development and distribution of fashion watches and other
accessories, principally under the "FOSSIL" and "RELIC" brand names. The
Company's products are sold primarily through department stores and other major
retailers, both domestically and internationally.

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 the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH EQUIVALENTS are considered all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less.

SHORT-TERM MARKETABLE INVESTMENTS consist of liquid investments with original
maturities exceeding three months and mutual fund investments. By policy, the
Company invests primarily in high-grade marketable securities. At January 1,
2000, securities of $4.7 million are classified as available for sale and stated
at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other
comprehensive income/loss as a component of stockholders' equity, and securities
of $6.2 million are classified as held-to-maturity and are stated at amortized
cost.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE are stated net of allowances of approximately $17.7 million
and $14.0 million for estimated customer returns and approximately $8.0 million
and $6.9 million for doubtful accounts at the close of fiscal year 1999 and
1998, respectively.

INVENTORIES are stated at the lower of average cost, including any applicable
duty and freight charges, or market.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets of three to ten years for equipment and
thirty years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of the lease term or the asset's useful life.

INTANGIBLE AND OTHER ASSETS include the cost in excess of tangible assets
acquired, noncompete agreements and trademarks, which are amortized using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of generally twenty, three
and five years, respectively.

CUMULATIVE TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENT is included in accumulated other compensive
income/loss as a component of stockholders' equity and reflects the unrealized
adjustments resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign
subsidiaries. The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is
the local currency of the country. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the
foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates.
Income and expense items are translated at the average rates prevailing during
the year. Changes in exchange rates that affect cash flows and the related
receivables or payables are recognized as transaction gains and losses in the
determination of net income. The Company incurred net foreign currency
transaction losses of approximately $1.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.7 million
for fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which have been included in
other income (expense).

FORWARD CONTACTS are entered into by the Company principally to hedge the
payment of intercompany inventory transactions with its non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Currency exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of the related
accounts, along with the offsetting gains or losses from the hedge, are deferred
until the inventory is sold or the forward contract is completed. At January 1,
2000, the Company had hedge contracts to sell (i) 177,000,000 Japanese Yen for
approximately $1.8 million, expiring through December 2000, and (ii)
1,753,415,017 Italian Lira for approximately $0.9 million, expiring through
March 2000.

REVENUES are recognized as sales when merchandise is shipped and title transfers
to the customer. The Company permits the return of damaged or defective products
and accepts limited amounts of product returns in certain other instances.
Accordingly, the Company provides allowances for the estimated amounts of these
returns at the time of revenue recognition.

ADVERTISING COSTS for in-store and media advertising as well as co-op
advertising and promotional allowances are expensed as incurred. Advertising
expenses for fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997 were approximately $27.1 million,
$17.0 million and $14.3 million, respectively.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. In June 1998, SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" was issued which establishes new accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires
the recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and the measurement of those instruments at fair
value. This pronouncement will require such reporting effective beginning in
fiscal year 2001. The Company is currently analyzing the effect of the standard
and does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

MINORITY INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARIES, included within other income/expense
represents the minority stockholders' share of the net income/loss of various
consolidated subsidiaries and investments in affiliated companies. The minority
interest in the consolidated balance sheets reflects the proportionate interest
in the equity of the various consolidated subsidiaries.

EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS"). Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS includes the effects
of dilutive stock options outstanding during each period using the treasury
stock method.

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the
computations of both basic and diluted EPS:

RECLASSIFICATION of certain 1997 and 1998 amounts have been made to conform to
the 1999 presentation.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Effective April 1997, Fossil (East) Limited acquired the remaining 35% of
capital stock of Amazing Time, Ltd. from its minority stockholder in exchange
for approximately $0.4 million in cash. The acquisition of this Hong Kong-based
watch assembly factory has been accounted for as a purchase and, in connection
therewith, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately $0.2 million. In
February 1997, Fossil Europe B.V. ("Fossil B.V.") acquired the remaining 40% of
Fossil Italia, S.r.l.'s outstanding common stock from minority stockholders for
288,246 shares of the Company's $0.01 par value common stock ("Common Stock"),
of which approximately $0.3 million was recorded as goodwill.

Effective September 1999, Fossil U.K., Ltd. acquired certain assets of Junghans
U.K., Ltd. ("Junghans UK") for approximately $2.7 million in cash. Junghans UK
was the Company's primary distributor in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, in connection therewith, the
Company recorded goodwill of approximately $0.6 million.

The results of these acquired operations are included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements since the dates of their acquisition. The
proforma effects as if these acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the
years presented are not significant.

3. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

During August 1999, the Company invested $4.0 million in cash to acquire a 20%
interest in SII Marketing International, Inc. ("SMI"). SMI, a joint venture
between the Company and Seiko Instruments America, Inc, was formed to design,
market and distribute watches in the mass-market distribution channel. The
investment is carried on the equity basis, which approximates the Company's
equity in SMI's underlying net book value. The Company's equity in SMI's net
loss to the fiscal year end is included in other income/expenses. In connection
with the formation of the joint venture, the Company signed a multi-year Service
Agreement with SMI to perform certain marketing, design and merchandising
functions. The compensation the Company receives under the Service Agreement is
based on a percentage of SMI's net sales, subject to certain adjustments.

7. DEBT

BANK: U.S.-BASED. In May 1997, the Company extended the maturity date of its
Short-term Revolving credit facility with its primary bank ("U.S. Short-term
Revolver"). In June 1997, the Company renewed the U.S. Short-term Revolver and
amended it to increase the funds available under the facility to $40 million, an
increase of $10 million over the previous facility, not subject to any borrowing
base calculation. The facility was also amended to eliminate Japanese Yen
currency borrowings and replace them with a stand-by letter of credit for 540
million Japanese Yen (approximately $5.0 million) as collateral for Company
borrowings from any Japan-based bank. In both June 1998 and 1999, the Company
renewed the U.S. Short-term Revolver for one year and negotiated a reduction in
the interest rate the Company pays on London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
based borrowings. All borrowings under the U.S. Short-term Revolver accrue
interest at the bank's prime rate less 0.5% or LIBOR plus 0.75% (LIBOR plus
1.25% and 1.00% prior to June 29, 1998 and 1999 respectively). The U.S.
Short-term Revolver is unsecured and requires the maintenance of net worth,
quarterly income, working capital and financial ratios. There were no borrowings
under the U.S. Short-term Revolver as of fiscal year end 1999 or 1998.

In August 1994, the Company signed a $5.0 million financing agreement with its
primary bank ("Long-term Revolver") to partially finance the Company's
facilities construction costs and for other general corporate purposes. The
financing agreement was for a ten-year revolving term loan with quarterly
payments equal to 1% of the stated principal amount of the facility. The
interest rate was the lender's prime rate (8.5% at January 3, 1998) and was
payable quarterly with an unused fee of 0.5% per annum. The financing agreement
additionally allowed for interest to be calculated at LIBOR (5.82 % at January
3, 1998), plus 1.25%. The amount outstanding under this facility was $4.35
million at the end of fiscal year 1997. The Company paid the Long-term Revolver
in full in January 1998. Interest expense under these credit facilities was
$5,630 and approximately $0.8 million for fiscal years 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and none for 1999. At fiscal year-end 1999, 1998 and 1997, the
Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $4.7 million, $3.2
million and $1.2 million, respectively, to vendors for the purchase of
merchandise.

BANKS: FOREIGN BASED. Fossil GmbH has short-term credit facilities with two
Germany-based banks with combined borrowing capacity of 5,000,000 deutsche marks
(approximately $2.5 million as of fiscal year-end 1999). No borrowings were
outstanding under the combined credit facilities at the end of fiscal year 1999
or 1998. Outstanding borrowings under the facilities bear interest at
approximately 6% and are collateralized by substantially all of Fossil GmbH's
assets. During August 1997, Fossil Japan restructured its short-term credit
facility with a Japan-based bank allowing borrowings of up to 540 million
Japanese Yen. All outstanding borrowings under the facility bore interest at the
Euroyen rate plus 1.8%. In connection with the financing agreement, Fossil Japan
agreed to pay an origination fee equal to 0.12% of the amount available under
the facility and an unused fee of 0.5% per annum.

In September 1999, Fossil Japan restructured its short-term credit facility with
a Japan-based bank allowing borrowings of up to 600 million Japanese Yen
(approximately $5.6 million as of fiscal year 1999). All outstanding borrowings
under the facility bore interest at the Euroyen rate (0.23% at January 1, 2000)
plus 1%. In connection with the financing agreement, Fossil Japan agreed to pay
a quarterly fee of 0.5% per annum on any undrawn portion of the loan. The
facility is collateralized by a stand-by letter of credit issued by the
Company's primary U.S. bank. Japan-based borrowings, in U.S. dollars, under the
facilities were approximately $5.0 million and $4.5 million as of fiscal
year-end 1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest expense under these credit
facilities was $0.1 million in both 1999 and 1998, and $21,000 in 1997.

9. INCOME TAXES

Deferred income tax benefits reflect the net tax effects of deductible temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The tax effects
of significant items comprising the Company's net deferred tax benefits, consist
of the following:

FISCAL YEAR END 1999 1998
IN THOUSANDS

Deferred tax assets:
Bad debt allowance ................................................ $ 2,534 $ 2,193
Returns allowance ................................................. 5,646 4,283
263(A) capitalization of inventory ................................ 504 503
Miscellaneous tax asset items ..................................... 1,178 1,006
Deferred tax liabilities:
In-transit returns inventory ...................................... (3,093) (2,330)
---------------------------
Net current deferred tax benefits .................................... $ 6,769 $ 5,655
---------------------------

Management believes that no valuation allowance against net deferred tax
benefits is necessary. The resulting provision for income taxes consists of the
following:

FISCAL YEAR 1999 1998 1997
IN THOUSANDS

Current provision:
United States .................................. $ 18,448 $ 10,278 $ 8,562
Foreign ........................................ 14,779 11,946 5,020
Deferred provision - United States ................ (1,114) (1,151) (837)
Tax equivalent related to exercise of stock options
(credited to additional paid-in capital) ....... 3,902 1,495 464
---------------------------------------------
Provision for income taxes ........................ $ 36,015 $ 22,568 $ 13,209
---------------------------------------------

A reconciliation of income tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax
rate of 35% to the provision for income taxes is as follows:

FISCAL YEAR 1999 1998 1997
IN THOUSANDS

Tax at statutory rate ........................... $ 30,744 $ 19,155 $ 11,253
State, net of federal tax benefit ............... 975 364 378
Other ........................................... 4,296 3,049 1,578
-------------------------------------------
Provision for income taxes ...................... $ 36,015 $ 22,568 $ 13,209
-------------------------------------------

Deferred U.S. federal income taxes are not provided on certain undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries as management plans to continue reinvesting
these earnings outside the United States. Determination of such tax amounts is
not practical because potential offset by U.S. foreign tax credits would be
available under various assumptions involving the tax calculation.

10. COMMITMENTS

LICENSE AGREEMENTS. The Company has various license agreements to market watches
bearing certain trademarks owned by various entities. In accordance with these
agreements, the Company incurred royalty expense of approximately $3.8 million,
$3.5 million and $1.7 million in fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
These amounts are included in the Company's cost of sales and selling expenses.
The Company had several agreements in effect at the end of fiscal year 1999
which expire on various dates from March 2000 and require the Company to pay
royalties ranging from 5% to 15.5% of defined net sales. Future minimum royalty
commitments under such license agreements at the close of fiscal year 1999 are
as follows (amounts in thousands):

2000 ................................................. $ 6,978
2001 ................................................. 7,565
2002 ................................................. 8,770

LEASES. The Company leases its retail and outlet store facilities as well as
certain of its office facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating
leases. Most of the retail store leases provide for contingent rental based on
operating results and require the payment of taxes, insurance and other costs
applicable to the property. Generally, these leases include renewal options for
various periods at stipulated rates. Rent expense under these agreements was
approximately $6.8 million, $5.1 million, and $4.4 million for fiscal years
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Contingent rent expense has been minimal in
each of the last three fiscal years. Future minimum rental commitments under
such leases at the close of fiscal year 1999, are as follows (amounts in
thousands):

2000 .................................................... $ 6,801
2001 .................................................... 6,779
2002 .................................................... 4,746

11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND BENEFIT PLANS

COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK. On March 4, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a
3-for-2 stock split ("1998 Stock Split") of the Company's Common Stock which was
effected in the form of a stock dividend payable on April 8,1998 to stockholders
of record on March 25, 1998. On July 21, 1999, the Board of Directors of the
Company declared a 3-for-2 stock split ("1999 Stock Split") of the Company's
Common Stock which was effected in the form of a stock dividend which was paid
on August 17, 1999 to stockholders of record on August 3, 1999. Retroactive
effect has been given to these stock splits in all share and per share data in
these notes to financial statements.

The Company has 50,000,000 shares of authorized Common Stock, with 32,107,270
and 31,398,137 shares issued and outstanding at the close of fiscal year 1999
and 1998, respectively. The Company has 1,000,000 shares of authorized $0.01 par
value preferred stock with none issued or outstanding. Rights, preferences and
other terms of preferred stock will be determined by the Board of Directors at
the time of issuance.

TREASURY STOCK. On September 18, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors
authorized management to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock in the open market or privately negotiated transactions (the "Repurchase
Program"). During fiscal year 1999 and 1998, the Company repurchased 90,500
shares of treasury stock and 188,500 shares of treasury stock (282,750 shares
after giving effect to the 1999 stock split) respectively, under the Repurchase
Program at a cost of approximately $2.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
During fiscal year 1999 and 1998, 134,607 shares of treasury stock and 84,821
shares of treasury stock (127,232 shares after giving effect to the 1999 stock
split) were reissued, respectively, in connection with the Company's 1993
Long-Term Incentive Stock Option Plan ("Incentive Plan").

DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND SAVINGS PLANS. The Company has a savings plan in the
form of a defined contribution plan (the "401(k) plan") for substantially all
full-time employees of the Company. Employees are eligible to participate in the
401(k) plan after one year of service. The Company matches 50% of employee
contributions up to 3% of their compensation and 25% of the employee
contributions between 3% and 6% of their compensation. The Company also has the
right to make certain additional matching contributions not to exceed 15% of
employee compensation. The Company's Common Stock is one of several investment
alternatives available under the 401(k) plan. Matching contributions made by the
Company to the 401(k) plan totaled approximately $0.2 million for each of the
fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997.

In December 1998, the Company adopted the Fossil, Inc. and Affiliates Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Plan"). Eligible participant may elect to defer
up to 50% of their salary pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Deferred
Plan. Eligible participants include certain officers and other highly
compensated employees designated by the Deferred Plan's administrative
committee. In addition, the Company may make employer contributions to
participants under the Deferred Plan from time to time. During 1999, the Company
charged $0.5 million to expense for the Deferred Plan. No expense was charged in
either 1998 or 1997.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN. An aggregate of 2,587,500 shares of Common Stock were
reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan, adopted April 1993. An
additional 1,350,000 shares were reserved in each of 1995 and 1998 for issuance
under the Incentive Plan. Designated employees of the Company, including
officers and directors, are eligible to receive (i) stock options, (ii) stock
appreciation rights, (iii) restricted or non-restricted stock awards, (iv) cash
awards or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The Incentive Plan is
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors
(the "Compensation Committee"). Each option issued under the Incentive Plan
terminates at the time designated by the Compensation Committee, not to exceed
ten years. The current options outstanding predominately vest over a period
ranging from three to five years and were priced at not less than the fair
market value of the Company's Common Stock at the date of grant. The weighted
average fair value of the stock options granted during fiscal years 1999, 1998
and 1997 was $12.01, $6.27 and $3.57, respectively.

NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN. An aggregate of 225,000 shares of Common
Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to this nonqualified stock option
plan, adopted April 1993. During the first year an individual was elected as a
nonemployee director of the Company, they received a grant of 5,000 nonqualified
stock options. In addition, on the first day of each subsequent calendar year,
each non-employee director automatically received a grant of an additional 3,000
nonqualified stock options as long as the person is serving as a nonemployee
director. Pursuant to this plan, 50% of the options granted will become
exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant and in two additional
installments of 25% on the second and third anniversaries. The exercise prices
of options granted under this plan were not less than the fair market value of
the Common Stock at the date of grant. The weighted average fair value of the
stock options granted during fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $14.25, $11.93
and $5.30, respectively.

The fair value of options granted under the Company's stock option plans during
fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997 were estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used: no dividend yield, expected volatility of approximately 63% to
65%, risk free interest rate of 4.75% to 6.00%, and expected life of 5 to 6
years. The following tables summarize the Company's stock option activity:

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25 and related
Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. No compensation cost
has been recognized for the Company's stock option plans because the quoted
market price of the Common Stock at the date of the grant was not in excess of
the amount an employee must pay to acquire the Common Stock. SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board in 1995, prescribes a method to record compensation cost for
stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. Pro forma disclosures as
if the Company had adopted the cost recognition requirements under SFAS No.123
in fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997 are presented below.
