3.      CHAPTER 11

        On May 12, 1997, the Company emerged from Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
        Code and entered into a two year financing agreement with CIT/Group
        Commercial Services, Inc. (The "CIT Facility"). The CIT Facility
        provides for a $10,500,000 revolving credit line of which $3,000,000 is
        available for letters of credit. Advances under the revolver bear
        interest at prime plus .85%. The advances are based on 85% of eligible
        accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory and are
        collateralized by all of the Company's assets other than its real
        estate. Under the CIT Facility, the Company is prohibited, among other
        restrictions, from pledging assets, creating additional indebtedness or
        paying dividends. In addition, the Company is required to comply with
        certain financial covenants, including minimum levels of EBITDA, working
        capital, tangible net worth and limits on capital expenditures. As of
        August 31, 1997 the Company was in violation of certain of the financial
        covenants, however waivers have been obtained with respect to such
        violations. In addition, the Company and the lender have amended the
        financial covenant requirements applicable at November 30, 1997. The
        Company has not borrowed on the CIT facility.

4.    LONG TERM DEBT
      
      As of August 31, 1997, long term debt consists of:

        Note payable - unsecured claims (a)               $4,649,000
        First National Bank of Scottsboro, Alabama           194,000
                                                          ----------
                                                           4,843,000

                 Less current portion                        780,000
                                                          ----------
                                                          $4,063,000
                                                          ==========

              (a)     On May 12, 1997 (the effective date the
                      Company emerged from bankruptcy), a note was
                      established for allowed and disputed general
                      unsecured claims.  Each holder of an allowed
                      claim has received or will receive (i) a pro-
                      rata share of $786,000 being paid in cash by
                      the Company and (ii) a beneficial interest in
                      a note in principal amount equal to the
                      amount by which the sum of all such claims
                      exceeds $786,000 (the "Note").  The Note is
                      payable quarterly, with interest at the rate
                      of 6% per annum on the unpaid balance,
                      commencing on June 30, 1997 based on a ten
                      year amortization schedule with the balance
                      payable on May 12, 2002. The Note also
                      requires prepayments annually commencing in
                      March 1998 in amounts aggregating 50% of the
                      Company's excess cash flow (as defined) for

                                       -8-

                      the preceding fiscal year.  The Note is
                      secured by a second lien on the same assets
                      which secure the CIT Facility.

                      On May 12, 1997, the note was issued in the principal
                      amount of $3,316,000. On that date, there were also
                      approximately $1,783,000 of disputed claims. The principal
                      amount of the Note will be increased as disputed claims
                      become allowed claims. The most significant disputed claim
                      relates to a lease rejection claim (and related
                      prepetition rental claim) in the aggregate amount of
                      approximately $1,552,000, asserted by the owner of the
                      Company's former office space at One Penn Plaza, New York
                      City. This claim is currently under litigation in the U.S.
                      Bankruptcy Court. The Company has included in Liabilities
                      Subject to Compromise, approximately $1,520,000 as a
                      reserve for all disputed claims.

                      As of August 31, 1997, there was approximately $1,552,000
                      of disputed claims for which approximately $1,405,000 is
                      included in long-term debt and current portion of
                      long-term debt.

Net sales for the three months ended August 31, 1997 (the "`97 Quarter") were
$3,821,000, a decrease of $5,685,000 or 59.8% from 1996 net sales of $9,506,000
in the comparable period in 1996 (the "'96 Quarter"). The decrease is
attributable to a number of factors. The Company discontinued its import and big
boys divisions, leaving it with girls' sizes infant through 14 and boys sizes
infant through toddler. The Company discontinued its import business because it
was unable to finance letters of credit. The Company's resulting inability to
meet orders for imported merchandise affected the Company's creditability, and
the Company therefore lost programs for merchandise manufactured domestically
and in the Dominican Republic. The import, Dobie (a division discontinued in
1995) and big boys divisions' sales decreased an aggregate of $1,063,000 in the
`97 Quarter compared to the `96 Quarter. The remaining decrease represents the
deterioration of the Company's customer base as many customers lost confidence
in the Company's ability to deliver goods due to the bankruptcy proceedings.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 16.4% from 18.3% in the
`96 Quarter. The 1996 Quarter included sales to higher margin customers to which
the Company did not sell in the `97 Quarter. The margins for the `97 Quarter
reflect the Company's margins with its primary customer.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the `97 Quarter were $989,000 or
25.9% of sales as compared to $1,448,000 or 15.2% of sales in the `96 Quarter.
The decrease in expenses was attributable to reduced salaries and fringes
related to terminated employees, professional fees, rent and depreciation and
amortization relating to fixed assets written off in fiscal 1996. The increase
in expenses as a percentage of net sales is a result of the lower sales volume,
as volume decreased faster than overhead.

The decrease in restructuring cost of $1,957,000 for the `97 Quarter compared to
the `96 Quarter was due to the Company's emerging from bankruptcy on May 12,
1997.

Nine Months Ended August 31, 1997 vs. 1996

Net sales for the nine months ended August 31, 1997 (the "`97 Period") were
$12,117,000, a decrease of $23,817,000, or 66.3% from net sales of $35,934,000
in the comparable period in 1996 (the "`96 Period"). The decrease is
attributable to the same factors discussed above. Import division sales
decreased approximately $5,580,000, in the `97 Period compared to the `96
Period. Dobie and big boys division sales decreased $1,655,000 and $4,575,000
respectively, in the `97 Period compared to the `96 Period. The remaining
decrease represents the deterioration of the Company's customer base as
described above.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 17.4% from 12.0% in the
`96 Period. The lower margins in the `96 Period were a reflection of large sales
and markdown allowances to close out inventory in the discontinued divisions and
the closing of inefficient manufacturing facilities that occurred primarily in
the six months ended May 31, 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the `97 Period were $2,802,000
or 23.1% of sales as compared to $6,847,000 or 19.1% for the `96 Period. The
decrease in expenses is attributable to similar reasons as those noted above
with respect to the three month period.

Interest expense decreased $799,000 in the `97 Period compared to the `96
Period. The decrease was due to the payment of all bank debt in fiscal 1996 and
the release of interest payments relating to the Industrial Revenue Bond on the
Scottsboro, Alabama facility. Interest expense in the `96 Period included
$250,000 of facility fees.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital at August 31, 1997 decreased $1,662,000 to
$4,862,000 compared to $6,524,000 at November 30, 1996, due primarily to the
Company's net loss for the period.

On May 12, 1997, the Company emerged from Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and
entered into a new financing agreement with the CIT/Group Commercial Services,
Inc. for a two year $10.5 million revolving credit facility. The Company has not
borrowed on the CIT facility. On August 31, 1997, the Company was in violation
of the EBITDA, working capital and tangible net worth financial covenants,
however waivers have been obtained with respect to such violations. The lender
has agreed with the Company to amend its fiscal year end covenants. See Note 3
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has also established
a note payable to unsecured creditors in the amount of $4,649,000. See Note 4 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes that cash
generated from operations and available borrowings will be sufficient to meet
anticipated working capital needs.

CURRENT UNCERTAINTIES

The Company anticipates a substantial decrease in volume for fiscal 1997 as
compared with fiscal 1996. While the Company's overhead has been reduced in
anticipation of a lower sales volume, the Company continues to incur
restructuring costs in 1997 relating to the bankruptcy and losses from
operations. The Company, therefore, anticipates that it will report a loss for
fiscal 1997. One customer currently accounts for approximately 83% of the
Company's orders. Accordingly, the resumption of stable and profitable
operations will require the Company to both increase its total sales and expand
its customer base.
