        The Company, organized in the State of Delaware in February 1995,
        designs and manufactures (through contractors) and imports women's
        sportswear for the domestic retail market.

        The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been
        prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
        interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q.
        Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally
        included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
        accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These
        financial statements should be read in conjunction with financial
        statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
        Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year
        ended March 31, 1997. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
        (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
        for a fair presentation of interim results have been included. The
        results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 1997 are
        not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

3.      NONRECURRING CHARGE - PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSS

        The Company entered into an agreement with its factor in January 1997
        (revised May 1997) to assume the credit risk, beyond an agreed portion,
        for the nonpayment of receivables due from one customer. In July 1997,
        the customer filed for bankruptcy under Chapter XI. At June 30, 1997,
        the Company provided a $243,500 reserve for their entire portion of the
        credit loss. At September 30, 1997, the Company reversed $95,000 of this
        reserve to reflect an estimated recovery based upon the filing of a
        reclamation claim.

        Primary earnings per common and common equivalent share were computed by
        dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average
        number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
        outstanding during the periods. Stock options and warrants are the only
        common stock equivalents. 1997 net income applicable to common stock for
        the three and six months ended September 30, 1997, has been adjusted by
        $33,072 and $68,130, respectively, to reflect the application of the 20%
        rule under the treasury stock method.

        The 1997 fully diluted earnings per common share is computed based on
        $351,377 and $593,979 of net income applicable to common stock for the
        three and six months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, as a result
        of applying the treasury stock method based upon closing market price.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared with Three Months Ended September
30, 1996

Net sales of $11.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 1997
represented an increase of $2.8 million, or 33% over net sales of $8.5 million
in the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The increase in net sales was
primarily attributable to continued expansion of the customer base and increased
volume from several existing customers.

The Company's gross profit increased from $600,000, or 39.6% to $2.1 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $1.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1996.  Gross profit margin increased to 18.8% in the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from 17.8% in the three months ended September
1996.  The increase in gross profit margin resulted primarily from higher import
sales volume.  Gross profit from import sales is generally higher than gross
profit from domestically produced merchandise.

Operating expenses, including all transactions with the factor, increased
$204,000, or 14.0% to $1.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 1997
from $1.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The increase
was primarily due to an increase of $125,000 in payroll and related costs,
including $75,000 in increased selling salaries, as well as $63,000 in selling

                                       8

 
related expenses which resulted from increased sales volume.  Factoring costs
decreased $53,000 as a result of lower commission rates, and reduced borrowing
for working capital needs.

As a result of the above factors, income from operations increased from $59,000
in the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $456,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 1997.

Other income was $95,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997,
resulting from the partial reversal of a provision for credit loss in connection
with a loss sharing agreement with the Company's factor pertaining to Montgomery
Ward's, which has declared bankruptcy.  This reversal represents a reclamation
claim against Montgomery Ward.  Other expenses of $42,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 consist of interest expense on promissory notes issued
in November 1995 and related financing costs.  The notes were repaid in March
1997 from the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering.

Six Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared with Six Months Ended September 30,
1996

Net sales of $23.0 million in the six months ended September 30, 1997
represented an increase of $4.8 million, or 26.4% over net sales of $18.2
million in the six months ended September 30, 1996.  The increase in net sales
was primarily attributable to continued expansion of the customer base and
increased volume from several existing customers.

The Company's gross profit increased $1.1 million, or 33.4% to $4.4 million for
the six months ended September 30, 1997 from $3.3 million for the six months
ended September 30, 1996. Gross profit margin increased to 19.2% in the six
months ended September 30, 1997 from 18.2% in the six months ended September 30,
1996.  The increase in gross profit margin resulted primarily from higher import
sales volume.  Gross profit from import sales is generally higher than gross
profit from domestically produced merchandise.

Operating expenses, including all transactions with the factor, increased
$451,000, or 15.5% to $3.3 million in the six months ended September 30, 1997
from 2.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The increase was
primarily due to an increase of $393,000 in payroll and related costs, including
$183,000 in increased selling salaries, as well as $99,000 in selling related
expenses which resulted from increased sales volume.  Factoring costs decreased
$229,000 as a result of lower commission rates, and reduced borrowing for
working capital needs.

As a result of the above factors, income from operations increased 160% from
$409,000 in the six months ended September 30, 1996 to $1.1 million in the six
months ended September 30, 1997.

Other expenses were $148,500 for the six months ended September 30, 1997,
resulting from a nonrecurring provision for credit loss in connection with a
loss sharing agreement with the Company's factor pertaining to Montgomery
Ward's, which has declared bankruptcy.  Such loss sharing arrangements are not
entered into except under unusual circumstances.  Other expenses of $67,000 for
the six months ended September 30, 1996 consist of interest expense on
promissory notes issued in November 1995.  These notes were repaid in March 1997
from the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In March 1997, the Company received approximately $5,352,000 (net of
underwriting discounts, commissions, and expenses) in proceeds from its initial
public offering of investment units.  The Company believes that the net proceeds
from its initial public offering, anticipated cash flow from operations and
availability of advances under its factoring agreement will be sufficient to
meet working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the foreseeable
future.  The Company is consistently evaluating opportunities to obtain licenses
or make certain acquisitions related to the Company's business.  The Company
believes its present liquidity and financing sources would enable it to complete
certain of these potential transactions, however, additional financing could be
required in other potential situations.

The Company's working capital increased from $7.2 million at the end of fiscal
1997 to $7.3 million at September 30, 1997.  The slight increase in working
capital is primarily due to an increase in the amount due from factor based on
increased levels of business activity partially offset by a decrease in cash
resulting from the use of proceeds of the initial public offering for capital
expenditures of $234,000 and loans to contractors of $274,000.

Inventories have increased from $3.6 million at the end of fiscal 1997 to $3.8
million at September 30, 1997 as a result of continued expansion of import sales
volume.
