3.   INCOME TAXES

     At June 1, 1996 the Company had a net deferred tax asset in excess of 
     $5,500,000 which is fully reserved until it can be utilized to offset
     deferred tax liabilities or realized against taxable income. The Company
     had a net operating loss carryforward for book and tax purposes of
     approximately $12,000,000.  Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has
     been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Certain tax
     regulations relating to the change in ownership may limit the Company's
     ability to utilize it's net operating loss caryforward if the ownership
     change, as computed under such regulations, exceeds 50%. Through June, 1996
     the change in ownership was approximately 40%. 

4.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     On March 22, 1994, the Company sold to its Management Group 5,000 shares of
     non-voting convertible preferred stock for $1,000,000.  These shares are
     convertible into 200,000 shares of common stock at the rate of $5.00 per
     share.  These shares provide for cumulative dividends at a floating rate
     equal to the prime rate and approximate $ 180,000 at June 1, 1996.  Such
     dividends are convertible into common stock at the rate of $5.00 per share.
     These preferred shares are redeemable, at the option of the Company, on or
     after February 28, 1999 and have a liquidation preference of $200 per
     share.

     In connection with the Company's refinancing on March 22, 1994, the Company
     entered into a $2,000,000 Term Loan Agreement with Chemical Bank. Pursuant
     to the agreement, the Company issued to Chemical Bank 10,000 treasury
     common shares, 7,500 in the fiscal year ended March 2, 1996 and 2,500 in
     the fiscal year ended February 25, 1995, related to its decision to defer
     making mandatory prepayments.


5.   UNUSUAL CHARGE

     In March, 1994, the Company terminated the employment contracts of its
     Chairman and Vice Chairman.  In accordance with the underlying agreement,
     they will be paid an aggregate of approximately $400,000 per year in 
     severance, as well as certain other benefits, through February 28, 1999. 
     The present value of these payments, $1,915,000, was accrued at February 
     26, 1994.  Through June 1, 1996, $872,000 of this accrual has been paid;
     $770,000 through March 2, 1996 and $102,000 in the current fiscal year
     through June 1, 1996

6.   CREDIT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT

     As of May 31, 1996, the Company amended its Loan and Security Agreement
     with Congress Financial Corporation dated March 24, 1994. This amendment
     provided (a) $ 251,000 in additional equipment term loan financing, (b)
     extension of the repayment period for all outstanding equipment term loans,
     (c) supplemental revolving loan availability from March 1st through June
     30th of each year and (d) the extension of the agreement through March 20,
     1998.  Renewal date to March 20, 1998.

7.   Private Placement

     In April, 1996 the Company signed a letter of intent for a $3.5 Million
     private placement consisting of 250,000 shares of common stock and $
     2,625,000 of 12.5% convertible subordinated debentures due August 31, 1996.
     The debentures would be secured by a second mortgage on the Company's
     manufacturing and distribution facility in Georgia and are convertible into
     467,167 shares of common stock in specified amounts after specified dates
     at prices ranging from $5.10 to $6.00. On June 25, 1996 the Company
     discontinued negotiations and commenced discussions with a new investor
     group. Upon completion of this transaction, the net proceeds will be used
     to prepay the balance payable to Chemical Bank. Accordingly, the entire
     balance is included in current liabilities. The remaining net proceeds will
     be used to reduce the outstanding balance with Congress.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




Results of Operations
- ---------------------


Sales

Net sales for the three months ended June 1, 1996 decreased  36% from prior year
levels to $6,688,000. This decline reflects the planned inventory reductions by
the Company's major customer in anticipation of the second fiscal quarter
introduction of Brittania by Levi's with initial shipments of significant orders
expected at the end of July, 1996. Sales of GUESS? products increased 34% over
prior year levels as retailers made available space for introductions of the
new GUESS? Essentials line which began  selling at retail in June, 1996.


Gross Margin

Gross profit margins decreased from prior year levels of 25% to 15%.  This
decline is a result of increased manufacturing variances associated with
additional processing costs of imported garments coupled with the impact of
close-out sales in the GUESS? division during the first quarter. Losses
associated with these sales were reserved for in the fourth quarter of the prior
fiscal year.


Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 12% to $1,765,000
compared to $2,019,000 for the first quarter of the prior year.  The decrease of
$254,000 is primarily the result of a reduction in  variable selling costs
related to the changes in net sales. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to 26% of sales of the prior year's level of 19% reflecting
the fixed components of these expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

In March, 1994 the Company was successful in refinancing its credit agreements
with (i) a three year $15,000,000 revolving credit facility, including a
$3,000,000 letter of credit facility, with Congress Financial, (ii) a $2,000,000
Term Loan Agreement with Chemical Bank and (iii) an additional $1,500,000 Term
Loan with Congress replacing the Industrial Revenue Bond financing of the
Cartersville, Georgia manufacturing plant.  Additionally, the $1,000,000
investment in the Company by the Management Group and the sale of 490,000 shares
of common treasury stock to GUESS?, Inc. and certain of its affiliates increased
the Company's liquidity and capital resources.  The net proceeds of $2.9 million
from the sale of treasury shares was used to prepay $500,000 of bank debt and
the balance provided additional working capital resources.  

Under the terms of the $2,000,000 Term Loan Agreement with Chemical Bank, 
scheduled installments of $500,000 each were due on December 15, 1995 and March
15, 1996.  As of December 15, 1995 the Company agreed to an amendment providing
for payments of $100,000 each on December 31, 1995 and January 31, 1996, with
the remaining $800,000 to be paid in 15 equal installments which commenced March
31, 1996.  

The Company believes that the credit facility provides adequate financing
flexibility to fund its operations at current levels. The company is seeking
additional funding to finance its expected growth.

Working capital decreased $828,000 from year-end levels to $9,998,000.  This
decrease is primarily due to a $949,000 decline in inventory levels resulting
from close-out sales.  A decrease in accounts receivable was offset by a
decrease in accounts payable. 

The Company believes that the moderate rate of inflation over the past few years
has not had significant impact on sales or profitability.
