                         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 June 30, 1999, the related consolidated statements of
operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and
June 30, 1998 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and June 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 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the Rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in

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 bears 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.

                                      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.

         As of June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, the borrowings under the
revolver amounted to $23.8 million and $30.8 million. As of June 30, 1999, the
term loan amounted to $3.0 million.

         Other debt consists of a secured term loan that was entered into on
June 30, 1998 in the amount of $483. As of June 30, 1999 the principal balance
of this loan amounted to $335. 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.   In November 1996, ten designated class action lawsuits were commenced
         against the Company and the accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick
         ("KPMG") in the United States District Court for the Southern District
         of New York. The complaints in these actions allege various violations
         of the federal securities laws and seek an unspecified amount of
         monetary damages and other monetary relief. These actions have now been
         consolidated pursuant to court order and the plaintiffs filed a
         consolidated amended complaint ("the Consolidated Class Action"). On
         December 5, 1997, the Court granted KPMG's motion to dismiss the
         consolidated complaint as to KPMG.

         In the second quarter 1999, the terms of a settlement of the
         Consolidated Class Action were agreed to in principle by the attorneys
         for the plaintiffs in the Consolidated Class Action and the Company.
         For the settlement to be consummated, the terms of the settlement must
         be agreed to by the Company's insurance carriers and approved after
         notice to all class members and a formal hearing before the United
         States District Judge. Three of the Company's insurance carriers have
         denied coverage for the claims asserted in the Consolidated Class
         Action and two have commenced actions in the United States District
         Court for the Southern District of New York entitled "Federal Insurance
         Company v. Donnkenny, Inc." and in the Supreme Court of the State of
         New York, County of New York, entitled "Zurich American Insurance v.
         Donnkenny, Inc., et. al." In those actions the plaintiffs insurance
         companies are seeking a determination that the insurance policies
         issued by the plaintiffs were obtained on the basis of a fraudulent
         application and therefore the policies should be declared void. While
         the Company believes that it has valid defenses to these litigations,
         there can be no assurances that the Company will prevail in the
         litigations. In the event the insurance carriers refuse to participate
         in a settlement of the Consolidated Class Action, and if a judgement is
         obtained, it is unlikely that the Company would have the resources to
         consummate such a settlement or satisfy a judgement. In such an event,
         the Company would be faced with a significant material adverse event to
         its business and financial condition.

                                      IV-2
<PAGE>

         While the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the settlement
         discussions with the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the Consolidated
         Class Action, the agreement in principle as to the settlement of the
         case involves a cash payment to the plaintiff class and the issuance of
         shares of the Company's common stock.

         Under these circumstances, it appears clear that the $5 million escrow
         described in Part II Item 5. (of which $2.9 million has already been
         paid by the Company as of June 30, 1999) will be depleted and the
         Company would contribute a number of shares of its common stock equal
         to approximately 15% of all outstanding shares of such common stock on
         a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the proposed settlement.
         The value of this common stock component was $2.4 million based upon
         the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of the
         proposed settlement. The Company has recorded a charge of $6.4 million
         in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 representing its estimated
         remaining exposure.

    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 SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND JUNE 30, 1998

         Net sales decreased by $8.9 million, or 9.4% from $94.7 million in the
first half of fiscal 1998 to $85.8 million in the first half of fiscal 1999. The
decrease in the Company's net sales was primarily due to decreases in the
Donnkenny and Victoria Jones labels of $8.1 million and a $2.0 million decrease
in sales of License Character products as a result of the Company's exiting
these businesses with all other labels netting to an increase of $1.2 million.

         Gross profit for the first half of fiscal 1999 was $18.9 million, or
22.0% of net sales, compared to $22.0 million, or 23.3% of net sales, during the
first half of fiscal 1998. The decrease in gross profit in dollars and as a
percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the Company's reduced
sales from exiting the Licensed Character business in fiscal 1998 and lower
margins from the Donnkenny and Casey & Max labels.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $19.4
million in the first half of fiscal 1998 to $16.9 million in the first half of
fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased from 20.5%
in the first half of fiscal 1998 to 19.8% in the first half 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 has recorded a 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 terms of settlement involves a cash payment and the issuance of shares of
the Company's common stock.

         Operating loss amounted to $5.2 million inclusive of the $6.4 million
reserve for the settlement of the Consolidated Class Action for the first half
of fiscal 1999 as compared to operating income of $2.0 million for the first
half of fiscal 1998.

         Net interest expense increased from $1.9 million during the first half
of fiscal 1998 to $2.1 million during the first half of fiscal 1999. The
increase was primarily from the $0.1 million write-off of the deferred financing
charges relating to the old credit facility and $0.1 million of interest income
recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

COMPARISON OF QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999, AND JUNE 30, 1998

         Net sales decreased by $7.5 million, or 17.7% from $42.2 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1998 to $34.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal
1999. The decrease in the Company's net sales was primarily due to a $4.2
million decrease in the Donnkenny label due to reductions in sales of two of the
label's largest customers; a $2.1 million planned decrease in the Victoria Jones
label due to the reductions in sales to two of the label's largest customers; an
$0.8 million decrease in the Pierre Cardin label and a $1.2 million decrease in
contract work, outlet divisions and License Character products. The decreases
were partially offset by an increase in the Casey & Max label of $0.6 million.

Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 was $6.8 million, or 19.6% of
net sales, compared to $9.1 million, or 21.5% of net sales, during the second
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 and reduced
margins in the Donnkenny, Victoria Jones and Casey & Max labels which was
partially offset by an increase in the Pierre Cardin label.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $9.6
million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 to $7.7 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased
from 22.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 to 22.1% in the second quarter
of 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; the reduction in professional fees in 1999 from the
expenses incurred in 1998 as a result of legal fees associated with the
previously reported class action lawsuits, as well as legal and accounting fees
associated with the restatement of prior year annual financial statements. 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 has recorded a 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 further description). The
terms of settlement involves a cash payment and the issuance of shares of the
Company's common stock.

         Operating loss (inclusive of the $6.4 million reserve for the
settlement of the Consolidated Class Action) was $7.6 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to $0.9 million for the second quarter of
fiscal 1998.

         Net interest expense increased from $1.1 million during the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 to $1.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 1999.
The increase was primarily the result from the $0.3 million write-off of the
remaining deferred financing charges relating to the old credit facility.

         The income tax benefit decreased from $0.9 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 to $0.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. In
the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the benefit reflects the usage of net
operating loss carry forwards offset by state and local taxes. In the second
quarter of fiscal 1999, the benefit relates to state and local taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's liquidity requirements arise from the funding of working
capital needs, primarily accounts receivable 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 $0.2 million, primarily for upgrading
computer systems during the first half of fiscal 1999 compared to $0.8 million
in the first half of fiscal 1998. The Company has committed to spend an
additional $0.4 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.

         As of June 30, 1999, borrowings under the revolver amounted to
$23.8 million compared to $30.8 million as of June 30, 1998. As of June 30,
1999, the term loan amounted to $3.0 million.

         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.

         During the first half of fiscal 1999, the Company's operating
activities provided cash principally as a result of decreases in accounts
receivable and increases in accounts payable partially offset by small increases
in inventory and decreases in accrued expenses. During the first half of fiscal
1998, the Company's operating activities used cash principally as a result of
increases in accounts receivable and inventory and decreases in accrued expenses
partially offset by increases in accounts payable. Cash provided by investing
activities in the first half of fiscal 1999 amounted to $1.1 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
$0.2 million for capital purchases relating to the upgrades in the Company's
computer systems. In the first half of fiscal 1998 cash used in investing
activities amounted to $1.9 million relating to the upgrades in the computer
systems as discussed above and the

                                       V-3
<PAGE>

contingent earnout payment of $1.1 million related to the acquisition of
Beldoch. Cash used in financing activities in the first half of fiscal 1999
amounted to $4.9 million, which principally represented net payments under the
revolver of $7.8 million and new term loan borrowing of $3.0 million. Cash
provided by financing activities in the first half of fiscal 1998 amounted to
$6.1 million, which primarily consisted of repayments of $3.2 million on the
term loan and borrowings under the revolver of $9.3 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 recognizes the need for, and is in the final phases of
implementation of, a comprehensive program intended to upgrade the operating
systems, including hardware and software, which should eliminate any issues
involving Year 2000 compliance. Certain of the Company's current software
systems, without modification, would be adversely affected by the inability of
the systems to appropriately interpret date information after 1999. As part of
the process of improving the Company's information systems to provide enhanced
support to all operating areas, the Company will upgrade to new financial and
operating systems. Such upgrade will provide for or eliminate any issues
involving Year 2000 compliance because all software to be implemented is
designed to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company anticipates that its cost for
such upgrade will be approximately $0.5 million for Fiscal 1999. The Company
also anticipates that it will complete its systems conversion in time to
accommodate Year 2000 issues. If the Company fails to complete such conversion
in a timely manner, such failure will have a material adverse effect on the
business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The
Company does not currently have complete information concerning Year 2000
compliance status of its suppliers and customers. The Company has initiated
communications with some of its significant customers, suppliers, and
contractors to determine their plans to remedy any Year 2000 issues that arise
in their business. The Company plans to complete this project prior to December
31, 1999; however, there can be no assurance that the systems of the other
companies on which the Company's systems rely will be timely converted and would
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's systems. The Company is
currently evaluating its non-information technology systems (embedded
technology) issues and is also developing its contingency plans for its
information technology systems and believes that it will complete both issues in
time to accommodate Year 2000 issues.

         If the Company is unsuccessful in completing remediation of
non-compliant systems, and if customers or vendors cannot rectify Year 2000
issues, the Company could incur additional costs, which may be substantial, to
develop alternative methods of managing its business and replacing non-compliant
equipment, and may experience delays in receipts from vendors, shipments to
customers, or payments to vendors. The Company has not yet established a
contingency plan in the event of non-compliance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1998, the FASB issued 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. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999. 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

In November 1996, ten designated class action lawsuits were commenced against
the Company and the accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick ("KPMG") in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints in
these actions allege various violations of the federal securities laws and seek
an unspecified amount of monetary damages and other monetary relief. These
actions have now been consolidated pursuant to court order and the plaintiffs
filed a consolidated amended complaint ("the Consolidated Class Action"). On
December 5, 1997, the Court granted KPMG's motion to dismiss the consolidated
complaint as to KPMG.

In the second quarter 1999, the terms of a settlement of the Consolidated Class
Action were agreed to in principle by the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the
Consolidated Class Action and the Company. For the settlement to be consummated,
the terms of the settlement must be agreed to by the Company's insurance
carriers and approved after notice to all class members and a formal hearing
before the United States District Judge. Three of the Company's insurance
carriers have denied coverage for the claims asserted in the Consolidated Class
Action and two have commenced actions in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York entitled "Federal Insurance Company v.
Donnkenny, Inc." and in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of
New York, entitled "Zurich American Insurance v. Donnkenny, Inc., et. al." In
those actions the plaintiffs insurance companies are seeking a determination
that the insurance policies issued by the plaintiffs were obtained on the basis
of a fraudulent application and therefore the policies should be declared void.
While the Company believes that it has valid defenses to these litigations,
there can be no assurances that the Company will prevail in the litigations. In
the event the insurance carriers refuse to participate in a settlement of the
Consolidated Class Action, and if a judgement is obtained, it is unlikely that
the Company would have the resources to consummate such a settlement or satisfy
a judgement. In such an event, the Company would be faced with a significant
material adverse event to its business and financial conditions.

While the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the settlement
discussions with the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the Consolidated Class
Action, the agreement in principle as to the settlement of the case involves a
cash payment to the plaintiff class and the issuance of shares of the Company's
common stock.

Under these circumstances, it appears clear that the $5 million escrow described
in Item 5. below (of which $2.9 million has already been paid by the Company as
of June 30, 1999) will be depleted and the Company would contribute a number of
shares of its common stock equal to approximately 15% of all outstanding shares
of such common stock on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the
proposed settlement. The value of this common stock component was $2.4 million
based upon the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of the
proposed settlement. The Company has recorded a charge of $6.4 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999 representing its estimated remaining exposure.

Item 2 - 4. Not Applicable

Item 5.     Other Information

In connection with contingent liabilities arising from the Company's alleged
inaccuracies in the reporting of revenues and expenses for certain reporting
periods, the Company has agreed to deposit $5 million in an escrow account with
the Company's insurance carrier over a three year period to help defray claims,
if any.
