                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Donnkenny, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Donnkenny, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1999, the related consolidated statements
of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1999 and September 30, 1998 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for
the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Donnkenny, Inc. and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated March 19, 1999 (March 29, 1999 as to note 15),
we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.

NOTE 3 -  DEBT

     On June 29, 1999, the Company and its operating subsidiaries signed a new
three year credit agreement with CIT Group/Commercial Services to replace the
existing $75 million Amended Credit Facility. The new agreement provides the
Company with a $75 million facility comprised of a $72 million revolver with
sublimits up to $52 million for direct borrowings, $35 million for letters of
credit, certain overadvances and a $3 million term loan.

     Borrowings under the new credit agreement bear interest at the prime rate
plus one half percent (8.75% at September 30, 1999). The new credit agreement
provides for advances of (i) up to 90% of eligible accounts receivable plus (ii)
up to 60% of eligible inventory plus (iii) up to 60% of the undrawn amount of
all outstanding letters of credit plus (iv) allowable overadvances. The term
loan requires quarterly payments of $250 plus all accrued and unpaid interest
beginning September 30, 1999 through June 30, 2002.

                                      IV-1
<PAGE>

     Collateral for the Credit Facility includes a first priority lien on all
accounts receivable, machinery, equipment, trademarks, intangibles and
inventory, a first mortgage on all real property and a pledge of the Company's
stock interest in the Company's operating subsidiaries, Donnkenny Apparel, Inc.
and Beldoch Industries Corporation.

     The Credit Facility contains numerous financial and operational covenants,
including limitations on additional indebtedness, liens, dividends, stock
repurchases and capital expenditures. In addition, the Company is required to
maintain specified levels of net worth and comply with a maximum cumulative net
loss test and a minimum interest coverage ratio. At September 30, 1999, the
Company was not in compliance with certain covenant requirements contained in
the credit agreement. On November 12, 1999, the Company and its Lenders signed a
Waiver and First Amendment to Credit Agreement ("Amendment"). The Amendment
waived the covenant requirements for September 30, 1999 and contained several
changes to the covenants for the quarterly period ending December 31, 1999. No
additional fees were required and no changes were made to the interest rates
with respect to the credit facility borrowings.

     As of September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998, the borrowings under the
revolver amounted to $39.1 million and $51.2 million, respectively. As of
September 30, 1999, the term loan amounted to $2.8 million and availability
under the revolver was $4.2 million.

     Other debt consists of a secured term loan that was entered into on June
30, 1998 in the amount of $483. As of September 30, 1999 the principal balance
of this loan amounted to $297. The interest rate is fixed at 8.75% and the loan
requires monthly principal and interest payments of $15 through June 2001.
Software, machinery and equipment secure this obligation.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  a.  Commencing November 1996, nine class action complaints were filed against
      the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District
      of New York. Among other things, the complaints alleged violation of the
      federal securities law. By order dated August 11, 1998, the court
      certified the litigation as class action on behalf of all persons and
      entities who purchased publicly traded securities or sold put options of
      the Company between February 14, 1995 and November 1996.

      On October 7, 1999, the Company entered into a stipulation of settlement
      ("Settlement") with the class action plaintiffs. In consideration for the
      discontinuance of the lawsuit with prejudice, the Company agreed to pay
      $10.0 million of which $5.0 million is the Company's share, issue 3
      million shares of the Company's common stock, and to pursue litigation
      against two of the Company's insurers to recover under its excess
      insurers' policies. The Settlement is subject to the court entering a
      preliminary approval order, class notification, the entry of a final
      judgement, and exhaustion of all appeals and reviews. In the second
      quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a charge of $6.4
      million, which represented their estimated cost of the Settlement. The
      actual cost of the Settlement is $5.9 million, therefore $0.5 million of
      the charge was reversed in the third quarter of 1999. The Company has
      funded its cash contribution to the settlement except for a) the sum of
      $1.7 million, which the Company will pay through March 31, 2000; and b)
      the cost of the litigations with two of the Company's insurers which are
      not expected to be material.

  b.  The Company is also a party to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
      course of its business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution
      of these proceedings will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse
      effect on financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or
      business of the Company.

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Net sales decreased by $21.6 million, or 14.2% from $152.3 million in the
first nine months of fiscal 1998 to $130.7 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 1999. The decrease in the Company's net sales was primarily due to
decreases in the Donnkenny, Victoria Jones and Pierre Cardin labels of $17.5
million and a $4.9 million decrease in sales of License Character, CMT products
and the outlet division as a result of the Company's exiting these businesses.
These decreases were partially offset by the Casey & Max label, which had an
increase of $0.8 million.

     Gross profit for the nine months of fiscal 1999 was $28.1 million, or 21.5%
of net sales, compared to $35.4 million, or 23.2% of net sales, during the first
nine months of fiscal 1998. The decrease in gross profit in dollars and as a
percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the effect of the
Company's reduced sales and lower margins from the Donnkenny, Victoria Jones and
Casey & Max labels. The lower margins are primarily the result of increased
freight costs with respect to the Victoria Jones and Casey & Max labels, and
higher domestic manufacturing variances due to decreased manufacturing volume in
the Donnkenny label.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $29.4 million
in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 to $24.7 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased
from 19.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 to 18.9% in the first nine
months of fiscal 1999. The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses was due primarily to lower selling expenses and synergies created in
combining certain business functions, which allowed for reductions in headcount.
These reductions were partially offset by higher distribution costs as a result
of increased costs associated with the Company's customer's requirements for
"floor ready" merchandise.

     In the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company had recorded an estimated
charge of $6.4 million to reflect the terms of a settlement for the Consolidated
Class Action lawsuit that were agreed to in principle by the attorneys for the
plaintiffs (see note 4 to the financial statements for a further description).
The actual cost of the Settlement is $5.9 million, therefore $0.5 million of the
charge has been reversed. The terms of settlement involves a cash payment and
the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock.

     Operating loss amounted to $3.6 million inclusive of the $5.9 million
provision for the settlement of the Consolidated Class Action for the first nine
months of fiscal 1999 as compared to operating income of $5.0 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 1998.

     Net interest expense decreased from $3.3 million during the first nine
months of fiscal 1998 to $2.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal
1999. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the average loan
balances with respect to the senior term and revolver borrowings and a reduction
in the interest rates as a result of the credit agreement, which was signed on
June 29, 1999.

                                       V-1
<PAGE>

     The income tax expense decreased from $0.8 million in the first nine months
of fiscal 1998 to $0.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1999. In 1998,
the expense reflects an estimated effective income tax rate of 48%. In 1999, the
expense relates to federal income tax payments for amended returns and current
year estimated state and local taxes.

COMPARISON OF QUARTERS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999, AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

     Net sales decreased by $12.6 million, or 21.9% from $57.6 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 1998 to $45.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1999. Of the $12.6 million decrease, the Company was unable to ship $4.4 million
primarily due to the inability to receive finished goods at the South Carolina
distribution facility during the last full week of the third quarter because of
Hurricane Floyd. In addition, a decrease of $2.7 million in the Donnkenny label
was due to reductions in sales of one of the label's largest customers from the
softness in traditional sportswear; a $3.4 million decrease in the Pierre Cardin
label, due to a reduction in sales to two of the label's largest customers which
shifted into the fourth quarter; a $0.9 million decrease in contract work,
outlet divisions and License Character products as a result of the Company's
exiting these businesses; and a decrease in the Casey & Max label of $1.2
million.

     Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 was $9.2 million, or
20.4% of net sales, compared to $13.3 million, or 23.1% of net sales, during the
third quarter of fiscal 1998. The decrease in gross profit in dollars and as a
percentage of net sales was primarily due to the lower sales dollars combined
with a change in sales mix that included lower margin sales to several
customers. All the labels experienced a reduction in margins primarily due to
higher transportation costs.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $10.0 million
in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 to $7.8 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses are 17.3% in the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1999. The decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses was due primarily to lower sales and administrative
expenses as a result of the reduction in sales volume as discussed above and
synergies created in combining certain business functions, which resulted in a
reduction of headcount.

     Operating profit was $1.6 million, inclusive of the reversal of $0.5
million for the Settlement, for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to
$3.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1998.

     Net interest expense decreased from $1.4 million during third quarter of
fiscal 1998 to $0.8 million during the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The
decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the average loan balance with
respect to the revolver borrowings, a reduction in the interest rates as a
result of the credit agreement, which was signed on June 29, 1999 and a $0.2
million reduction of financing charges.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

     The Company's liquidity requirements arise from the funding of working
capital needs, primarily accounts receivable, inventory and the interest and
principal payments related to its indebtedness. The Company's borrowing
requirements for working capital fluctuate throughout the year.

     Capital expenditures were $0.4 million, primarily for upgrading computer
systems during the first nine months of fiscal 1999 compared to $1.1 million in
the first nine months of fiscal 1998. The Company has committed to spend an
additional $0.1 million in fiscal 1999 for upgrading computer systems to
increase efficiencies as part of the Company's system upgrade plan.

     On June 29, 1999, the Company and its operating subsidiaries signed a new
three year credit agreement with CIT Group/Commercial Services to replace the
existing $75 million Amended Credit Facility. The new agreement provides the
Company with a $75 million facility comprised of a $72 million revolver with
sublimits up to $52 million for direct borrowings, $35 million for letters of
credit, certain overadvances and a $3 million term loan. Borrowings under the
new credit agreement will bear interest at the prime rate plus one half percent
(8.25% at June 30, 1999).

     The new credit agreement provides for advances of (i) up to 90% of eligible
accounts receivable plus (ii) up to 60% of eligible inventory plus (iii) up to
60% of the undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit plus (iv)
allowable overadvances. The term loan requires quarterly payments of $250 plus
all accrued and unpaid interest beginning September 30, 1999 through June 30,
2002.

     Collateral for the Credit Facility includes a first priority lien on all
accounts receivable, machinery, equipment, trademarks, intangibles and
inventory, a first mortgage on all real property and a pledge of the Company's
stock interest in the Company's operating subsidiaries, Donnkenny Apparel, Inc.
and Beldoch Industries Corp.

     The Credit Facility contains numerous financial and operational covenants,
including limitations on additional indebtedness, liens, dividends, stock
repurchases and capital expenditures. In addition, the Company is required to
maintain specified levels of net worth and comply with a maximum cumulative net
loss test and a minimum interest coverage ratio. At September 30, 1999, the
Company was not in compliance with certain covenant requirements contained in

changes to the covenants for the quarterly period ending December 31, 1999. No
additional fees were required and no changes were made to the interest rates
with respect to the credit facility borrowings.

     As of September 30, 1999, borrowings under the revolver amounted to $39.1
million compared to $51.2 million as of September 30, 1998. As of September 30,
1999, the term loan amounted to $2.8 million and availability under the revolver
was $4.2 million.

     During the first nine months of fiscal 1999, the Company's operating
activities used cash principally as a result of increases in accounts
receivable, increases in inventory, and decreases in accrued expenses partially
offset by increases in accounts payable. During the first nine months of fiscal
1998, the Company's operating activities used cash principally as a result of
increases in accounts receivable and inventories and other assets. Cash provided
by investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 1999 amounted to $0.9
million, primarily as the result of the sale of a closed Virginia manufacturing
facility ($1.1 million) and a manufacturing unit in New York ($0.2 million)
partially offset by $0.4 million for capital purchases relating to the upgrades
in the Company's computer systems. In the first nine months of fiscal 1998 cash
used in investing activities amounted to $2.0 million, primarily relating to the
upgrades in computer systems and a contingent earnout payment of $1.1 million
related to the acquisition of Beldoch. Cash provided by financing activities in
the first nine months of fiscal 1999 amounted to $10.1 million, which
principally represented net borrowings under the revolver of $7.4 million and
new term loan borrowing of $3.0 million less payments of $0.3 million and
payments of the secured term loan of $0.1 million. Cash provided by financing
activities in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 amounted to $25.3 million,
which represented net borrowings under the revolver of $29.0 million and
repayments on the term loan of $3.8 million.

     The company believes that cash flows from operations and amounts available
under the new credit agreement will be sufficient for its operating needs in the
foreseeable future.

SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS AND FASHION RISK

     The Company's principal products are organized into seasonal lines for
resale at the retail level during the Spring, Summer, Transition, Fall and
Holiday Seasons. Typically, the Company's products are designed as much as one
year in advance and manufactured approximately one season in advance of the
related retail selling season. Accordingly, the success of the Company's
products is often dependent on the ability to successfully anticipate the needs
of retail customers and the tastes of the ultimate consumer up to a year prior
to the relevant selling season.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

     The Company has implemented a comprehensive program intended to upgrade the
operating systems, including hardware and software, which should eliminate any
issues involving Year 2000 compliance. Only one of the Company's current
software systems, the payroll system, without modification, would be adversely
affected by the inability of the systems to appropriately interpret date
information after 1999. The Company has contracted to outsource its payroll
processing to a third party service provider that is year 2000 compliant so that
this system will not be an issue.

     As part of the process of improving the Company's information systems to
provide enhanced support to all operating areas, the Company has successfully
upgraded to new financial and operating systems for all other areas of the
business. Such upgrades will provide for or eliminate any issues involving Year
2000 compliance because all software that has been implemented is designed and
has been tested to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company estimates that its total
cost for such system upgrades will be approximately $0.5 million for Fiscal
1999, of which $0.4 million has been incurred as of September 30, 1999.

     The Company initiated communications with its significant customers,
suppliers and contractors to determine their plans to remedy any Year 2000
issues that arise in their businesses. As a result of these communications, the
Company received letters from all significant customers, suppliers and
contractors indicating their Year 2000 readiness. The customers, suppliers and
contractors that have not responded to these inquiries are not considered to be
critical or material to the Company's operations. The Company is in the process
of following up with these companies to obtain their Year 2000 readiness status
and expects to complete this process prior to December 31, 1999. For those
customers that use Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), the Company has tested
that its systems and its customers' systems are compatible and year 2000
compliant. The Company has evaluated its non-information technology systems
(embedded technology) issues and has determined and tested that they are year
2000 compliant.

     Based upon its assessment and remediation efforts to date, the Company is
not aware of any material issues that would prevent it or its significant third
party vendors, suppliers and customers from completing efforts necessary to
achieve Year 2000 compliance on a timely basis. Accordingly, the Company has not
developed a formal contingency plan for dealing with the most reasonably likely
worst case scenario at this time. However, if issues do arise, either with
customers or vendors or in some area of the Company's business that was not
identified, the Company plans to prepare manual workarounds to process
transactions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes standards for
the accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and for hedging
activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, which
deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. The Company has determined that this statement will not have a
significant impact on its financial statements or disclosures, as it does not
engage in derivative or hedging transactions.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

Commencing November 1996, nine class action complaints were filed against the
Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York. Among other things, the complaints alleged violation of the federal
securities law. By order dated August 11, 1998, the court certified the
litigation as class action on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased
publicly traded securities or sold put options of the Company between February
14, 1995 and November 1996.

On October 7, 1999, the Company entered into a stipulation of settlement
("Settlement") with the class action plaintiffs. In consideration for the
discontinuance of the lawsuit with prejudice, the Company agreed to pay $10
million of which $5.0 million is the Company's share, issue 3 million shares of
the Company's common stock, and to pursue litigation against two of the
Company's insurers to recover under its excess insurers' policies. The
Settlement is subject to the court entering a preliminary approval order, class
notification, the entry of a final judgement, and exhaustion of all appeals and
reviews. The Company recognized all costs and expenses related to the settlement
prior to and in its quarter ended June 30, 1999. In the second quarter ended
June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a charge of $6.4 million, which represented
their estimated cost of the Settlement. The actual cost of the Settlement is
$5.9 million, therefore $0.5 million of the charge was reversed in the third
quarter of 1999. The Company has funded its cash contribution to the settlement
except for a) the sum of $1.7 million, which the Company will pay through March
31, 2000; and b) the cost of the litigations with two of the Company's insurers
which are not expected to be material.
