NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements as of May 31, 1997 and for the six
     month period then ended have been prepared by the Company without audit. In
     the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of only normal
     recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
     position of the Company, the results of its operations, and cash flows have
     been made.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
     financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
     and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
     the year ended November 30, 1996.

     The results of operations for the period ended May 31, 1997 are not
     necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

     Per share information is computed by dividing the net loss amounts by the
     weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each
     period.

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. The Company has not borrowed on the CIT Facility.

                                                       ===========
</TABLE>




      (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 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 pre-petition 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.

 5.  RESTRUCTURING COST

     Due to the filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code,
     the Company incurred expenses relating to the hiring of professionals, and
     facility closing costs as follows:

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

On March 19, 1996 the Company filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code. On May 12, 1997, the Company emerged from Chapter 11.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months Ended May 31, 1997 vs. 1996

Net sales for the three months ended May 31, 1997 (the "`97 Quarter") were
$4,290,000 a decrease of $9,328,000 or 68.5% from net sales of $13,618,000 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. Import division sales decreased approximately $1,605,000
in the `97 Quarter compared to the `96 Quarter. Dobie (a division discontinued
in 1995) and big boys divisions' sales decreased $446,000 and $2,904,000,
respectively, 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 increased to 18.0% from 8.7% in the
`96 Quarter. The lower margins in the `96 Quarter were a reflection of large
sales and markdown allowances to close out inventory in the discontinued
divisions and the closing of inefficient manufacturing facilities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the `97 Quarter were $907,000
or 21.1% of sales as compared to $2,371,000 or 17.4% of sales for the `96
Quarter. The decrease in expenses was attributable to reduced salaries and
fringes related to terminated employees, professional fees 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 lower sales volume, as
volume decreased faster than overhead.

Interest expense decreased $485,000 in the `97 Quarter compared to the `96
Quarter. 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.

Six Months Ended May 31, 1997 vs. 1996

Net sales for the six months ended May 31, 1997 were $8,296,000 a decrease of
$18,132,000 or 68.6% from (the "`97 Period") net sales of $26,428,000 on the
comparable period in 1996 (the "`96 Period"). The decrease is attributable to
the same factors discussed above. Import division sales decreased approximately
$5,556,000, in the `97 Period compared to the `96 Period. Dobie and big boys
divisions' sales decreased $1,377,000 and $3,815,000 respectively, in the `97
Period compared to the `96 Period. The remaining decrease represents the



                                      -10-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>


deterioration of the Company's customer base as described above.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 17.9% from 9.8% in the
`96 Period for similar reasons as noted above with respect to the three month
period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the `97 Period were $1,813,000
or 21.9% of sales as compared to $5,399,000 or 20.4% for the `96 Period. The
decrease in expenses is attributable to the similar reasons as noted in the
three month period.

Restructuring costs represent estimated professional fees, off-set by a gain
on the exchange of assets against liabilities subject to compromise on the
Scottsboro, Alabama facility. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Interest expense decreased $868,000 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 May 31, 1997 decreased $1,177,000 to $5,347,000
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. See Note 3 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has also established a note
payable to unsecured creditors in the amount of $4,838,000. 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.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Report include forward-looking statements that involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. These risks include, among others, the
Company's sharp reduction in sales, narrow customer base and the other risks
detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports. The Company's actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements.
