ANDOVER TOGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements as of February 29, 1996 and for the
     three 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 Reports on Form 10-K for
     the years ended November 30, 1995 and 1996.

     The results of operations for the period ended February 29, 1996 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.

2.   INVENTORIES

     Inventories consist of:

                                        February 29,       November 30,
                                            1996               1995
                                        -----------        -----------

         Raw materials                  $ 1,681,000        $ 2,995,000
         Work in process                  3,152,000          3,253,000
         Finished goods                   8,608,000          7,043,000
                                        -----------        -----------
                                        $13,441,000        $13,291,000
                                        ===========        ===========


     Inventories and cost of goods sold at February 29, 1996 are determined
     based upon the estimated gross profit method.

3.   ACQUISITION

     On February 27, 1995, the Company acquired the inventory, trade names and
     customer orders of Dobie Industries, Inc. ("Dobie"), a manufacturer of
     children's and women's apparel. The purchase price was approximately
     $3,900,000 in cash, including acquisition fees, 112,500 shares of the
     Company's common stock and a warrant to purchase 50,000 additional shares
     of stock at $2.50 per share. The acquisition was accounted for as a
     purchase and gave rise to cost in excess of net assets acquired. In
     November 1995, based on an evaluation of Dobie's projected future
     operations, management wrote off the cost in excess of net assets acquired.

4.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     During the year ended November 30, 1995, the Company incurred losses of
     $4,279,000 and was unable to comply with certain covenants of its existing
     debt agreements. Negotiations with the Company's lenders to obtain waivers
     in connection with such defaults were unsuccessful. Negotiations with such
     lenders and other prospective lenders to obtain

                                       -5-

     more permanent financings were also unsuccessful. As a result of the
     ensuing severe liquidity crisis, on March 19, 1996, the Company filed for
     protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As a
     result of the filing, the Company recorded all liabilities prior to the
     filing date as subject to compromise.

     On March 20, 1996, the Company obtained debtor-in-possession financing with
     its existing lenders for $11 million, which was due to terminate in
     December 1996. On September 19, 1996, the Company obtained
     debtor-in-possession financing from the CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc.
     for a two year $15 million revolving credit facility to replace the $11
     million facility.

     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.

Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended February 29, 1996 vs 1995

Net sales for the three months ended February 29, 1996 (the "`96 Quarter") were
$12,810,000, a decrease of $2,206,000 or 14.7% as compared with net sales of
$15,016,000, in the comparable period in 1995 (the "`95 Quarter"). The decrease
occurred because, in the '96 Quarter, the Company lost sales programs that it
had in fiscal 1995.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 10.8% from 18.2% in the
`95 Quarter. The decrease occurred because the Company accepted business at
lower margins in order to carry its manufacturing facilities and in an attempt
to maintain market share. In addition, the Company closed an inefficient
manufacturing facility. Pricing pressures were intense, and the Company was
unable to pass through cost increases to its customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the `96 Quarter were $3,028,000
or 23.6% of sales as compared to $3,029,000 or 20.2% of sales for the `95
Quarter. The expenses remained constant for both quarters, but increased as a
percentage of net sales as a result of lower sales volume.

Interest expense increased $142,000 for the `96 Quarter compared to the `95
Quarter due to higher short-term borrowing levels necessary to cover losses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital at February 29, 1996 increased $945,000 to
$11,107,000 as compared to $10,162,000 at November 30, 1995, due primarily to
the reclassification of current liabilities to long term debt and liabilities
subject to compromise, net of the loss for the '96 Quarter.

On March 19, 1996 the Company, after negotiations with its lenders, filed a
petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code.

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

                                       -6-

$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.

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 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.
