1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
The unaudited interim consolidated condensed balance sheet as of May 1,
1999 and the unaudited consolidated condensed statements of income for the
three months ended May 1, 1999 and May 2, 1998, the unaudited consolidated
statement of changes in stockholders' equity for the three months ended May
1, 1999 and the unaudited consolidated condensed statements of cash flows
for the three months ended May 1, 1999 and May 2, 1998, and related notes
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited interim
consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes
included in the 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders of Michael Anthony
Jewelers, Inc. (the "Company").
The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of the management of the
Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which
are necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods presented.
The interim figures are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the fiscal year due to the seasonal nature of the business.
New Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted
--------------------------------------------
In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments
be measured at fair value and recognized in the balance sheet as either
assets or liabilities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
adopting SFAS No. 133.

2. PRODUCT PRICING
---------------
The Company's products, the principal component of which is gold, are
generally sold at prices which are based on the market price of gold on the
date merchandise is shipped to the customer.
Therefore, the Company's sales volume is significantly influenced by the
market price of gold. The selling prices for certain customers may be fixed
for a specific period of time. In such cases, the Company is able to shift
a substantial portion of the risks of gold price fluctuation by hedging
against changes in the price of gold by entering into forward contracts or
purchasing futures or options on futures.
The Company's consigned gold inventory is hedged against the effects of
price fluctuations. The Company has entered into arrangements with certain
gold lenders (the "Gold Lenders") pursuant to which the Company does not
purchase gold from the Gold Lenders until receipt of a purchase order from,
or shipment of jewelry to, its customers. These arrangements permit the
Company to match the sales price of the product with the price the Company
pays for the gold.
The average price of gold in the current quarter was $293 per ounce as
compared to $305 per ounce for the quarter ended May 2, 1998.

4. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
------------------------
In December 1995, the Company announced a Common Stock repurchase program
pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to 750,000 shares of Common
Stock. On April 4, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized an increase of
an additional 500,000 shares of Common Stock that the Company may
repurchase under the Stock Repurchase Plan. On May 26, 1998, the Board of
Directors authorized an increase of up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of
common stock that the Company may repurchase under the Stock Repurchase
Plan.
As of May 28, 1999, the Company had purchased a total of 1,632,000 shares
on the open market for an aggregate of approximately $4,705,000, of which
60,000 shares have been retired.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO JANUARY 30, 1999 IS UNAUDITED)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
- ------------------------------------------------
MAY 1, 1999 AND MAY 2, 1998
- ---------------------------
Net sales for the three months ended May 1, 1999 were approximately $28,982,000,
a decrease of 5% from net sales of approximately $30,432,000 for the comparable
period last year. Had it not been for the decrease in the average gold price,
$293 versus last year's $305 an ounce, net sales would have decreased $814,000
or 3%.
Gross profit margin increased to approximately 23.5% of net sales for the three
months ended May 1, 1999 compared to approximately 21.4% for the comparable
period last year, primarily due to a change in the customer and product mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended May 1,
1999 were approximately $6,163,000, an increase of $475,000 or 8% from
approximately $5,688,000 for the comparable period last year. As a percentage of
net sales, adjusted for the gold price difference, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to 20.8% for the three months ended May 1,
1999, from 18.7% for the comparable period of the prior year. The increase is
primarily attributable to increases in (i) payroll and payroll related expenses
and (ii) advertising related expenses. These increases were partially offset by
decreases in product and packaging supplies.
Interest expense and gold consignment fees for the three months ended May 1,
1999 were approximately $457,000, a decrease of $80,000 or 15% compared to
approximately $537,000 for the comparable period last year. Interest expense
decreased $44,000 due to the Company's principal payments on its long term debt,
and gold consignment fees decreased $36,000 primarily due to lower gold
consignment rates and the lower gold prices.
As a result of the above factors the Company had net income for the three months
ended May 1, 1999 of approximately $183,000 or $.03 per share on 6,830,000
weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $234,000 or $.03 per share on
7,436,000 weighted average shares outstanding for the comparable period last
year.

ITEM 2 MICHAEL ANTHONY JEWELERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO JANUARY 30, 1999 IS UNAUDITED)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company relies on a gold consignment program, short-term and long-term
borrowings and internally generated funds to finance its operations. The Company
fills most of its gold supply needs through gold consignment arrangements with
the Gold Lenders. Under the terms of those arrangements, the Company is entitled
to lease the lesser of (i) an aggregate of 191,000 ounces of fine gold or (ii)
consigned gold with an aggregate value equal to $73,500,000.
The consigned gold is secured by certain property of the Company including
inventory and machinery and equipment. The Company pays the Gold Lenders a
consignment fee based on the dollar value of ounces of gold outstanding under
their respective agreements, which value is based on the daily Second London
Gold Fix. The Company believes that its financing rate under the consignment
arrangements is substantially similar to the financing rates charged to gold
consignees similarly situated to the Company. As of May 1, 1999, the Company
held 169,000 ounces of gold on consignment with a market value of $48,650,000.
The consignment agreements contain certain restrictive covenants relating to
maximum usage, net worth, working capital and other financial ratios and each of
the agreements requires the Company to own a specific amount of gold at all
times. At May 1, 1999, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in its
consignment agreements and the Company's owned gold inventory was valued at
approximately $3,800,000. Management believes that the supply of gold available
through the Company's gold consignment arrangements, in conjunction with the
Company's owned gold, is sufficient to meet the Company's requirements.
The consignment agreements are terminable by the Company or the respective Gold
Lenders upon 30 days notice. If any Gold Lender were to terminate its existing
gold consignment arrangement, the Company does not believe it would experience
an interruption of its gold supply that would materially adversely affect its
business. The Company believes that other consignors would be willing to enter
into similar arrangements if any Gold Lender terminates its relationship with
the Company.
Consigned gold is not included in the Company's inventory, and there is no
related liability recorded. As a result of these consignment arrangements, the
Company is able to shift a substantial portion of the risk of market
fluctuations in the price of gold to the Gold Lenders, since the Company does
not purchase gold from the Gold Lenders until receipt of a purchase order from,
or shipment of jewelry to, its customers. The Company then either locks in the
selling price of the jewelry to its customers concurrently with the required
purchase of gold from the Gold Lenders or hedges against changes in the price of
gold by entering into forward contracts or purchasing futures or options on
futures that are listed on the COMEX.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO JANUARY 30, 1999 IS UNAUDITED)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
- -------------------------------
While the Company believes its supply of gold is relatively secure, significant
increases or rapid fluctuations in the cost of gold may result in reduced demand
for the Company's products. From January 30, 1999 until May 1, 1999, the closing
price of gold according to the Second London Gold Fix ranged from a low of $279
per ounce to a high of nearly $294 per ounce. There can be no assurances that
fluctuations in the precious metals and credit markets would not result in an
interruption of the Company's gold supply or the credit arrangements necessary
to allow the Company to support its accounts receivable and continue the use of
consigned gold.
On January 27, 1999, the Company repaid its existing long-term debt with the
insurance companies. The Company obtained a loan from a new lender in the amount
of $10,444,444. As collateral for the loan, the Company granted the lender a
lien on the Company's machinery and equipment. The loan has an eight-year term
and will accrue interest at 6.85%. The loan does not contain any restrictive
financial covenants.
On February 10, 1999, Michael Anthony obtained a loan in the amount of $937,500.
As collateral for the loan, the Company granted the lender a first mortgage on
the manufacturing facility. The mortgage has a fifteen-year term and accrues
interest at an annual rate of 7.05%.
In October 1995, the Company obtained a loan from a bank in the amount of
$2,500,000. As collateral for the loan, the Company granted the bank a first
mortgage on the Company's corporate headquarters. The mortgage has a ten-year
term and interest on the mortgage accrues at 8% per annum. In addition, the
mortgage contains certain restrictive financial covenants. At May 1, 1999, the
Company was in compliance with the covenants and $2,143,000 of principal
remained outstanding under the mortgage.
The Company has a line of credit arrangement with a commercial bank (the "Line
of Credit"), under which the Company may borrow up to $15,000,000. The Line of
Credit is secured by certain assets of the Company, including accounts
receivable and inventory. As of May 1, 1999 no amount was outstanding under the
Line of Credit.
During the three months ended May 1, 1999, cash provided from operating
activities was $3,697,000. The increase is primarily due to the decreased levels
of accounts receivable which were partially offset by an increase in inventory.
During the comparable period of the prior year, the Company used $2,171,000 of
cash in operating activities, primarily due to the increased accounts
receivable.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO JANUARY 30, 1999 IS UNAUDITED)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
- -------------------------------
Cash of $2,848,000 was used in investing activities as compared to $423,000 used
during the comparable three-month period last year. The increase is primarily
due to the Company's purchase of certain assets, primarily molds, machinery and
equipment, and inventory of Town & Country Fine Jewelry Group.
Cash of $795,000 was provided from financing activities during the three-month
period, compared to $1,062,000 used for the comparable period of the prior year.
The cash from financing activities primarily came from a mortgage loan on one of
the Company's buildings.
For the balance of fiscal 2000, the Company projects capital expenditures of
approximately $1,700,000.
The Company believes that its long-term debt and existing lines of credit
provide sufficient funding for the Company's operations. In the event that the
Company requires additional financing during fiscal 2000, it will be necessary
to fund this requirement through expanded credit facilities with its existing or
other lenders. The Company believes that such additional financing can be
arranged.
Subsequent Event
- ----------------
In May 1999, Michael Anthony learned that the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Eastern District of New York had not approved the Company's Asset Purchase
Agreement with Eurospark Industries, Inc. to purchase machinery and equipment of
Eurospark Industries for $500,000.
Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------
In 1997, Michael Anthony developed, as a strategic corporate goal, a project
plan to address the Year 2000 issue. Monthly progress reports on the Year 2000
issue were given to our Executive Management Committee. Members of the
Information Systems (IS) Department primarily staffed the project, with outside
consultants being used on an as-needed basis. Most Year 2000 efforts were made
through the use of internal resources or routine software upgrades provided by
our software vendors.
We maintained our business application system hardware platform (primarily IBM
AS/400's) but replaced or upgraded all affected software. We completed our
internal Year 2000 project in March 1999. Total expenditures related to
remediation, testing, conversion and updating system applications were
approximately $308,000. The cost of the Year 2000 project was expensed as
incurred and did not have a material adverse affect on Michael Anthony's results
of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO JANUARY 30, 1999 IS UNAUDITED)
Year 2000 Compliance (Continued)
- --------------------
Although Michael Anthony does not expect any significant software failures
internally, there could be computer related failures in a number of areas
including the failure of our telecommunications, financial, manufacturing or
distribution systems which are integrated with the systems of suppliers,
customers or other third parties. We do not expect any material impact to
operations or financial result from any minor delay.
Michael Anthony is examining its relationship with certain key customers and
suppliers to determine whether they are Year 2000 compliant, and if not,
ascertain their plans to attain Year 2000 readiness. To the extent our key
customers are not Year 2000 compliant before the end of 1999, those customers
may lose electronic data interchange capabilities in January 2000. If electronic
data interchange communications are no longer possible, we expect to use voice,
facsimile, e-mail, or traditional mail communications in order to receive
customer orders and process customer invoices. In addition, Michael Anthony has
implemented a program to determine the Year 2000 compliance status of our
material vendors, suppliers, service providers and customers. Based on currently
available information, we do not anticipate suffering any material impact from
the failure of these third parties to be Year 2000 compliant. However, the
process of evaluating the Year 2000 compliance status of material third parties
is continually ongoing and, therefore, no guaranty or warranty can be made as to
those third parties' future compliance status and its potential effect on
Michael Anthony. The systems of other companies on which our systems rely may
not be converted in a timely fashion and any failure by those systems may have
an adverse effect on our operations.
The predictions are based on our reasonable expectations but these estimates may
not be achieved. External Year 2000 readiness estimates are subject to more
uncertainty, since this is outside the direct control of management.

Forward Looking Statements (Continued)
- --------------------------
a) general economic conditions and their impact on the retail
environment.;
b) fluctuations in the price of gold and other metals used to manufacture
the Company's jewelry;
c) risks related to the concentration of the Company's customers,
particularly the operations of any of its top customers;
d) increased competition from outside the United States where labor costs
are substantially lower;
e) variability of customer requirements and the nature of customers'
commitments on projections and orders; and
f) the extent to which the Company is able to retain and attract key
personnel.
In light of these uncertainties and risks, there can be no assurance that the
forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will occur or
continue in the future. Except for its required, periodic filings under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company undertakes no obligations to
release publicly any revisions to these forward looking statements that may

occurrence of unanticipated events.
New Accounting Standards
- ------------------------
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which will be
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133
