Results of Operations

Three months ended April 30, 2001 as compared to three months ended April 30,
2000.

     Total revenues. Total revenues consist of net sales and royalty income.
Total revenues increased 3.1% to $86.9 million for the three months ended April
30, 2001 from $84.3 million for the comparable period in 2000. The increase for
the three months period is primarily the result of the increase in product sales
as described below.

     Net sales. Net sales increased 3.5% to $80.9 million for the three months
ended April 30, 2001 from $78.2 million in the comparable prior period, relating
to increases in the Ad Specialty Incentive market, mass merchandise channels of
distribution and our European subsidiary of Perry Ellis America footwear.

     Royalty income. Royalty income remained essentially flat for the three
months ended April 30, 2001 at $6.07 million compared to $6.09 in the comparable
prior period.

     Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended April 30, 2001
increased $1.9 million or 3.2% to $60.8 million from $58.9 million in the
comparable prior period, reflecting an increase in the number of units sold for
the period. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased for the three
months period ended April 30, 2001 to 75.2% from 75.3% for the three months
period ended April 30, 2000. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of
net sales is a result of product mix changes in both branded and private label
goods.

                                       6


     Gross Profit. Gross profit was $26.1 million for the three months period
ended April 30, 2001, compared to $25.5 million for the comparable prior period.
The increase in gross profit of 2.4% for the three months period reflects the
change in product mix.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $1.1
million or 7.7% for the three months period ended April 30, 2001 to $15.4
million from $14.3 million in the 2000 period. As a percentage of total revenue,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 17.7% for the three months
ended April 30, 2001 compared to 17.0% in the comparable 2000 period. The
increase in selling, general and administrative costs were attributable to
higher payroll, advertising and warehouse costs associated with increased
inventory and shipping activity.

     Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three
months period ended April 30, 2001 increased to $1.6 million from $1.5 million
in the comparable 2000 period. The small increase primarily reflects an increase
in amortization due to the acquisition of the Pro-Player and Mondo di Marco
trademarks during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001.

     Interest expense. Interest expense increased $0.2 million for the three
months period ended April 30, 2001 to $4.1 million from $3.9 million in the
comparable 2000 period. The increase for the three months period is primarily
attributable to the additional interest from increased borrowings under the
revolving credit agreement to support the increase in sales.

     Income taxes. For the three month period ended April 30, 2001, the
effective tax rate was 37.1% compared to 37.9% for the comparable 2000 period.

     Net income. Net income for the three months period ended April 30, 2001
decreased $0.4 million to $3.2 million from $3.6 million in the comparable 2000
period. As a percentage of total revenue, net income was 3.7% for the three
months period ended April 30, 2001, compared to 4.3% in the comparable 2000
period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company relies primarily upon cash flow from operations and borrowings
under its senior credit facility to finance operations and expansion. Cash used
in operating activities was $1.7 million in the three months ended April 30,
2001, compared to $21.9 million in the three months ended April 30, 2000. The
decreased level in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable
to timing of sales and timing of cash collections on accounts receivable in the
current period as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2000.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million for the three months
ended April 30, 2001, which primarily reflects purchases of property and
equipment.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended April
30, 2001 totaled $2.0 million, which was primarily the result of net borrowings
under the Company's senior credit facility.

                                       7


     The Company has a senior credit facility consisting of a revolving credit
facility of up to an aggregate amount of $75.0 million.  The senior credit
facility expires in October 2002.  Borrowings are limited under the terms of a
borrowing base calculation.  Interest on borrowings is variable, based upon the
Company's option of selecting a LIBOR plus 2.0% interest rate or the bank's
prime rate.  The facility contains covenants which require the Company to
maintain certain financial and net worth ratios and restricts the payment of
dividends.  The Company's assets are pledged as collateral for the facility.

     Management believes that the combination of borrowing availability under
the senior credit facility, existing working capital and funds are anticipated
to be generated from operating activities will be sufficient to meet the
Company's anticipated operating and capital needs in the foreseeable future.

Effects of Inflation and Foreign Currency Fluctuations

     The Company does not believe that inflation or foreign currency
fluctuations significantly affected its results of operations for the three
months ended April 30, 2001.

Market Risk in the Loans

     The Company is subject to market risk associated principally with changes
in interest rates.  Interest rate exposure is principally limited to borrowings
under the senior credit facility.
