              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
         have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB
         and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
         generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
         statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments
         (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the
         opinion of Management, necessary for a fair statement of results for
         the interim periods.

         The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1996
         are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
         full year.

         These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
         statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB, for
         the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

(4)      CALCULATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

         The Company calculates its earnings per share without including the
         375,000 shares held in escrow as of September 30, 1996 pursuant to the
         terms of the EMA acquisition agreement. As of that date, 125,000 shares
         have been released from the escrow and are included in the calculation.

         The EMA acquisition agreement provides for the escrow of 500,000 of the
         533,333 total shares of the Company's Common Stock issued in exchange
         for the EMA shares, with a portion of such escrowed shares to be
         released to the former EMA shareholders, Robert D. Winn and Mary S.
         Winn, on each of the first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of
         the acquisition date. The acquisition agreement provides that the
         number of shares to be released on any such date will be determined by
         dividing 375,000 by the then - current market value of the Company's
         Common Stock, provided that the number of shares to be released on any
         anniversary date will not be less than 62,500 shares nor more than
         150,000 shares. In the event that the number of shares of the Company's
         Common Stock to be released from escrow on an anniversary date is
         greater than the number of shares then held in escrow, the acquisition
         agreement provides that the Company will issue additional shares in the
         amount of any such shortfall, and such shares will be deemed to be
         issued as part of the original purchase price set forth in the
         acquisition agreement. Any shares of Common Stock remaining in escrow
         subsequent to the fourth anniversary of the acquisition date will be
         released to and canceled by the Company. The acquisition agreement
         further provides that the Winns, as beneficial owners of the escrowed
         shares, are entitled to all voting, dividend and liquidation rights,
         preferences and privileges applicable to all of the escrowed shares,
         but will be unable to transfer such shares until released from escrow.

         Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, EMA entered into employment
         agreements with Robert Winn and Mary Winn relating to their continued
         service as executive officers of EMA. Under the terms of the
         acquisition agreement, if either of such employment agreements is
         terminated by the Company without cause, all shares then maintained in
         escrow in the name of the terminated executive officer will be released
         and delivered to that person. If either such agreement is terminated
         for cause or by the officer, the officer's shares will be released from
         escrow according to the above-described schedule.

         This escrow arrangement is intended primarily to assure the Company of
         a remedy in the event of a claim by the Company to the indemnification
         provided by the former EMA shareholders under the acquisition
         agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, any claim to such
         indemnification is to be first applied to the escrowed shares. As of
         the date hereof, no such claim has been made by the Company.

         Future years' earnings per share calculations will include the shares
         released from escrow, if any.

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

         The following is an analysis of the Company's results of operations and
its liquidity and capital resources. To the extent that such analysis contains
statements that are not of a historical nature, such statements are
forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. These risks
include: risks of increases in the costs of the Company's products; the
Company's relationships with its suppliers and licensors; the financial
condition and operations of the Company's customers; changes in fashions and
preferences of purchasers of eyewear; competitive and general economic factors
in the markets where the Company's products are manufactured or sold; the impact
of, and changes in, government regulations such as trade restrictions or
prohibitions, or import and other charges and taxes; and other factors discussed
in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes
thereto of Ocean Optique Distributors, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company"), included elsewhere herein.

OVERVIEW

         During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company continued its
assimilation of the business lines acquired in its June 1995 acquisition of
European Manufacturers Agency, Inc. ("EMA"). The Company intends to continue to
expand its customer base and product lines through the sales of private label
products to retailers. The Company is also continuing the process of reviewing
its SG&A expenses in an effort to control such expenses. Management continues to
examine closely the excessive and slow moving inventory and to increase the
reserves when necessary so that the Company may sell it off and increase its
cash position.

         During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company's license
agreement with Revlon was renewed for a one-year term ending December 31, 1996.
The license agreement may be renewed for an additional three-year term if
certain criteria are met. No assurance can be given that such criteria will be
met and that therefore such renewals can be negotiated. However, the Company
believes that there would be no material adverse effect on the Company's
long-term future business should the agreement be terminated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - For the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

                                        8

<PAGE>

         The Company's net sales volume has remained relatively consistent at
$3,874,018 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to net sales
of $3,858,939 for the same period last year, a slight increase of $15,079.

         The Company's gross profit for the three months ended September 30,
1996 decreased by $121,550, or 8.0%, when compared to the same period in 1995,
mainly due to some sales at special prices to a few major customers. These
special programs may or may not continue in the future. The Company's gross
profit margin decreased, from 39.4% for the three months ended September 30,
1995 to 36.1% for the three month period ended September 30, 1996.

         SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1996 decreased
by $261,838 (17.8%) over the same period last year. This decrease is mainly due
to the efforts of the Company's management team to lower expenses and monitor
overhead costs closely. Specifically, payroll has decreased $63,627 (15.6%),
travel has decreased $24,042 (32.4%) and depreciation and amortization has
decreased $90,976 (77.4%) mainly due to the writeoff of goodwill and covenant
not to compete. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased to 31.3% from 38.2%
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         For the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company had a net
profit of $113,720 compared to a net loss of $32,987 for the same period last
year. This increase in profits is mainly due to the decrease in SG&A costs as
the Company continues to closely monitor expenses in an effort to improve
profits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At September 30, 1996, the Company's working capital was $2,163,313,
and its current ratio was 1.34:1, as compared to the working capital of
$2,165,117 and a current ratio of 1.32:1 as of June 30, 1996.

         The change in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily
due to the net profit from operations of $102,020, depreciation of $26,566, a
decrease in inventory of $998,797, an increase in prepaid expenses and other
current assets of $614,286 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses and due to related parties of $467,042. Societe Francaise de Lunetterie
("SFL") and D'Arrigo Moda Italia ("Arrigo"), the related parties, are both
principal shareholders of the Company and are major European suppliers of
product to the Company. During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company
agreed to exchange $400,000 of debt to SFL for 246,154 shares of the Company's
Common Stock. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company, in
consideration of 10,000 eyeglass frames tendered by SFL, granted to

                                        9


<PAGE>

SFL the option to purchase 110,000 Common Shares of the Company at a price of
$1.30 per share. This option is exercisable for three years. Also during the
September quarter D'Arrigo forgave the Company six monthly payments amounting to
$239,729. In return, the Company agreed to reduce by 20% the conversion price of
$3.00 on 70% of the shares of convertible preferred stock owned by D'Arrigo.

         During the Company's 1996 fiscal year, it maintained a $3,500,000 line
of credit agreement with Republic National Bank ("RNB"). As of September 30,
1996, total available credit under this line was $855,500. Interest on the line
of credit was 3/4% above the prime lending rate. In September 1996 the line of
credit was renewed and allows the Company to borrow up to $2,750,000 with
interest on the line of credit at 2% above the prime lending rate. RNB and the
Company are working on an agreement that extends the line of credit to March 31,
1997.

         Management currently believes that cash from operations and from
available credit sources, are sufficient for the Company to maintain its
operations at current levels, including the operations acquired in the EMA
acquisition.
