Notes to Condensed Financial Statements For The Six Months Ended October 31, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The Condensed Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2002 and the related Condensed Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for the six months and three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of their operations for the six months and three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001. The April 30, 2002 Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The interim condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the Company's filing on Form 10K-SB. The results of operations for the six months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire year or any future interim periods. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the notes to the Company's financial statements included in the Company's Form 10K-SB for the year ended April 30, 2002 3. Going Concern The Company's financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlements of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $696,000 and $1,239,000 for the years ended April 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Additionally, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,364,000 at October 31,2002. In addition, the Company will need to continue and possibly increase its borrowing facility with an affiliate unless alternative funding can be arranged. These factors create uncertainty about whether the Company can continue as a going concern. 4 Dynamic International, Inc. Notes to Condensed Financial Statements For Six Months Ended October 31, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited) Management has implemented various cost controls and succeeded in reducing certain operating expenses and costs. However, the Company believes that the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001 continue to have a chilling effect on travel and the economy in general. Consequently, consumer demand for luggage is likely to continue to be adversely affected. As a result, the Company currently expects that sales of its luggage products will continue to be negatively impacted for at least the near term. It is not practicable at this time to quantify the extent of any downturn. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. 4. Related Party Transactions Pursuant to a Warehouse and Service Agreement dated as of September 1, 2000 (the "Warehousing Agreement") between the Company and a related party (the "Related Entity") wholly owned by a major stockholder, the Related Entity provides occupancy space and performs certain administrative services on behalf of the Company. Under the Warehousing Agreement, the Related Entity, among other things, assists in the maintenance of financial and accounting books and records, in the preparation of monthly financial accounts receivable aging schedules and other reports and in the performance of credit checks on the Company's customers. In consideration for these services, the Related Entity receives an annual fee, payable monthly, calculated at a percentage of the Company's invoiced sales originating at the warehouse ranging from 4% of the invoiced sales under $30 million annually to 3% of sales of $60 million or more. For sales which do not originate at the warehouse, the Related Entity receives a service fee in the amount of 1.5% of the Company's invoiced sales to customers and accounts located in the United States if payment is made by letter of credit and 1% if such customers and accounts are located outside the United States, irrespective of manner of payment. In addition, under the Warehousing Agreement, the Related Entity provides warehousing services consisting of receiving, shipping, and storing the Company's merchandise. The Company pays the Related Entity a monthly fee of 3% of its invoiced sales originating at the warehouse in connection with these warehousing services performed by the Related Entity under the Warehousing Agreement. As part of the Warehousing Agreement, the Company applies an offset for certain shared expenses. The Warehousing Agreement, which was renewed on September 1, 2000, has a term of one year and then automatically renews from year to year unless written notice of termination is given at least six months prior to the commencement of a renewal period. Total warehousing and administrative expenses charged to operations were $241,441 and $275,181 for the six months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. 5 Dynamic International, Inc. Notes to Condensed Financial Statements For Six Months Ended October 31, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited) In addition, the Related Entity has purchased inventory for the Company and has charged the Company for the invoiced amount of the inventory. Pursuant to an unwritten understanding, the Related Entity arranges for the issuance, by its financial lender, of letters of credit in favor of the Company's overseas suppliers, thereby enabling the Company to finance the purchases of its inventory. Pursuant to a Security Agreement dated as of January 2, 2001, between the Company and the Related Entity, the Related Entity has perfected its security interest in all of the Company's assets. Amounts due to the Related Entity totaled $3,489,830 and $3,132,700, at April 30, 2002 and October 31, 2002, respectively. The Company records interest on the unpaid balance due to the Related Entity at the JPMorganChase prime rate plus 1%. Total interest expense charged to operations was $78,520 and $130,250 for the six months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. 5. Significant risks and Uncertainties The Company's luggage products compete with products designed by a number of the largest companies in the industry. The Company believes that because of its concentration on the upscale lifestyle and more specialized leisure market that are associated with its use of trademark names, the Company will be able to continue to grow its luggage business. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to effectively compete with these companies as well as with other smaller entities. Most of the Company's products are purchased from Indonesia, Thailand, China and Sri Lanka. The Company believes that, if necessary, it will be able to obtain its products from firms located in other countries at little, if any, additional expense. The Company believes that an interruption in deliveries by a manufacturer located in a particular country will not have a material adverse impact on the business of the Company. Nevertheless, because of political instability in a number of the supply countries, occasional import quotas and other restrictions on trade or otherwise, there can be no assurance that the Company will at all times have access to a sufficient supply of merchandise. 6 6. Restatement During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended April 30,2002, the Company made a determination to record interest on advances from affiliates, and restate previously issued financial statements for the correction of this error based on guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The adjustment decreased net income for the six months ended October 31,2001 as follows: Net income, as originally reported $149,920 Interest- affiliate 130,250 -------- Net income, as adjusted $ 19,670 ======== 7 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes that are included under Item 1. Statements made below which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, our ability to complete development and then market our services, competitive factors and other risk factors as stated in other of our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Dynamic International, Inc. ("the Company") was formed on August 31, 2000 as a wholly owned company of Dynamic International Ltd. ("Ltd."). Pursuant to an Equity Transfer and Reorganization Agreement dated August 10, 2000, (the Agreement) by and among Ltd., certain of its shareholders, Emergent Management Company, LLC ("Emergent"), and several holders of membership interests in Emergent Ventures, LLC (an affiliate of Emergent), Ltd. transferred all of its assets to the Company. In addition the Company assumed all of the liabilities of Ltd. (other than outstanding bank debt in the amount of $250,000). General The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and related notes thereto of the Company included elsewhere herein. The Company's financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlements of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $696,000 and $1,239,000 for the years ended April 30, 2002 and 2001,respectively. Additionally, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,364,000 at October 31,2002. In addition, the Company will need to continue and possibly increase its borrowing facility with an affiliate unless alternative funding can be arranged. These factors create uncertainty about whether the Company can continue as a going concern. Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended October 31, 2002 Compared to the Six Months Ended October 31, 2001. Sales for the six months ended October 31,2002, decreased by $855,000 or 16.2% to $4,405,000 from $5,260,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2001. This decrease was primarily the result of reduced sales of luggage due to the decrease in travel subsequent to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Allowances granted to customers were 7.4% of net sales for the six months ended October 31,2002 as compared to 9.1% of net sales for the six months ended October 31,2001. Allowances for the six months ended October 31 2001 included approximately $110,000 in promotional allowances given to two customers with the introduction of new luggage collections. Allowances for the six months ended October 31,2002 included approximately $100,000 in promotional allowances for a new customer. 8 The Company's gross profit decreased by approximately $152,000 due primarily to the decrease in sales. The Company's gross margin, as a percentage of sales, increased by 1.43% to 26.58% from 25.15% for the six months ended October 31, 2001. This increase is result of cost containment measures and improved pricing for merchandise purchased in the Peoples Republic of China. Operating expenses, exclusive of interest expense, for the six months ended October 31, 2002 were $164,000 less than the six months ended October 31,2001. This decrease is represented approximately by changes in the following expenses: Increase (Decrease) Royalty Expense ($70,000) Shipping Expenses ($27,000) Salesman Commissions ($13,000) Salesman Salaries ($42,000) Travel and Entertainment ($12,000) Royalty expense decreased by $70,000 due to the decreased sales and the discontinuation of Rotaflex home gym products and thus the related minimum royalty payments.

Salesman salaries and travel and entertainment decreased by $42,000 and $12,000, respectively, due to a reduction in the sales staff.

Interest expense related party for the six months ended October 31,2002 decreased by $51,000 from the six months ended October 31,2001. This decrease was due to reduced interest rates and the reduction of the amounts due to Achim Importing Co. Inc. ("Achim"). 9 The following table sets forth the results of operations for the periods discussed above: Six Months Six Months Ended Ended October 31, 2002 October 31, 2001 Net Sales $4,405,000 $5,260,000 Cost of Goods Sold 3,234,000 3,937,000 -------------- --------------- Gross Margin 1,171,000 1,323,000 --------- ------------- As a Percentage of Net Sales 26.58 % 25.15% Operating Expenses 998,000 1,162,000 Interest 8,000 11,000 Interest -related party 79,000 130,000 -------------- --------------- 1,085,000 1,303,000 --------- --------- Income before provision for Income Taxes $ 86,000 $ 20,000 ========= ========= Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended October 31, 2002 Compared to the Three Months Ended October 31, 2001.

Allowances for the three months ended October 31,2002 included approximately $50,000 in promotional allowances for a new customer. The Company's gross profit decreased by approximately $29,000 due primarily to the decrease in sales. The Company's gross margin as a percentage of sales, increased by 2.59% to 26.80% from 24.21% for the three months ended October 31, 2001. This increase is the result of cost containment measures and improved pricing for merchandise purchased in the Peoples Republic of China. 10 Operating expenses, exclusive of interest expense, for the three months ended October 31, 2002 were $86,000 less than the three months ended October 31,2001.

Interest expense related party for the three months ended October 31,2002 decreased by $24,000 from the three months ended October 31,2001. This decrease was due to reduced interest rates and the reduction of the amounts due to Achim Importing Co. Inc. ("Achim"). The following table sets forth the results of operations for the periods discussed above: Three Months Three Months Ended Ended October 31, 2002 October 31, 2001 Net Sales $1,862,000 $2,181,000 Cost of Goods Sold 1,363,000 1,653,000 -------------- -------------- Gross Margin 499,000 528,000 ------- ---------- As a Percentage of Net Sales 26.80 % 24.21% Operating Expenses 432,000 518,000 Interest 5,000 4,000 Interest -related party 34,000 58,000 -------------- --------------- 471,000 580,000 ------- ------- Income before provision for Income Taxes $ 28,000 $ (52,000) ======= ======= 11 Related Party Transactions Pursuant to a Warehouse and Service Agreement dated as of September 21, 2000(the "Warehousing Agreement") between the Company and a related party("Achim") wholly owned by a major stockholder, the Achim provides occupancy space and performs certain administrative and shipping services to the Company. Achim has purchased inventory for the Company and has charged the Company for the invoiced amount of the inventory. In addition, pursuant to an unwritten understanding, the related party arranges for the issuance by its financial lender of letters of credit in favor of the Company's overseas suppliers thereby enabling the Company to finance the purchases of its inventory. Seasonality and Inflation The Company's business is seasonal with higher sales typically in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year. Management does not believe that the effects of inflation will have a material impact on the Company. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the six months ended October 31, 2002, cash provided by operations was $357,000. This was primarily the result of net income, a decrease in inventory , prepaid expenses and other and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $86,000, $440,000 , $78,000 and $61,000, respectively, which were offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $309,000. Payments against the amount due to Achim used cash from financing activities of $357,000. The Company has received substantial financial support from Achim. Achim is wholly owned by Marton B. Grossman, the Chairman and President of the Company. Advances from Achim are due upon demand. The Company records interest on the unpaid balance due to Achim at the JPMorganChase prime rate plus 1%. The amount of interest recorded for the six months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001 was $78,000 and $130,000, respectively. Through June, 2000,the Company was able to fund a portion of its working capital requirements pursuant to an agreement with the JPMorganChase ("Chase"), which had provided for maximum borrowings of $1,500,000 in the form of letters of credit and bankers acceptances. This agreement also provided for a security interest in the inventory and notes and accounts receivable of the Company. In addition, the agreement provided for the personal guarantee of the President and major shareholder of the Company for the entire balance. The Chase credit line was discontinued in June 2000. 12 The Company will continue to utilize the financial support of Achim for inventory purchases. Achim is not obligated to continue providing any support. In the event Achim chooses not to support the Company, we would have to reduce operations or seek to find financial support from other third parties. 13 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
