              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   JUNE 3,2000
                                   (unaudited)
                             (amounts in thousands)




NOTE 1 -          The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
                  without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
                  Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
                  footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
                  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
                  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
                  rules and regulations. These statements include all
                  adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals,
                  considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial
                  position and results of operations. The financial statements
                  included herein should be read in conjunction with the
                  financial statements and notes thereto included in the latest
                  annual report on Form 10-K.



NOTE 2 -          The results of operations for the three-month period ended
                  June 3, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
                  be expected for the full year.



NOTE 3 -          The Company utilized the last-in, first-out "Lifo" method for
                  certain wholesale inventories as at June 3, 2000 and March 4,
                  2000 and for the three month periods ended June 3, 2000 and
                  May 29, 1999. The "Lifo" inventory for the three month periods
                  ended June 3, 2000 and May 29, 1999 are based upon end of year
                  estimates. Inventories at June 3, 2000 and March 4, 2000
                  consist primarily of finished goods.



NOTE 4 -          The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
                  Standards No. 130 ("SFAS No. 130), "Reporting Comprehensive
                  Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting
                  comprehensive income and its components in a financial
                  statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes all
                  changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources, as
                  follows:

NOTE 5 -          Short-term investments consist primarily of government and
                  agency bonds, tax exempt municipal bonds and corporate bonds.
                  These marketable securities are classified as trading and are
                  adjusted to market value at the end of each accounting period.
                  Unrealized market gains and losses, are included in earnings.
                  Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are
                  determined on a specific identification basis, and are
                  included in earnings. Gross realized gains totaled $1 and $19
                  and gross realized losses totaled $43 and $43 for the three
                  months ended June 3, 2000 and May 29, 1999.

                  The unrealized losses which were included in earnings were
                  $220 and $470 as of June 3, 2000 and March 4, 2000,
                  respectively.


NOTE 6 -          Basic net earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed
                  by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
                  weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period.
                  Diluted net earnings per share reflects the weighted-average
                  common shares outstanding plus the potential dilutive effect
                  of options which are convertible into common shares. Options
                  which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings
                  per share because the exercise prices of the options were
                  greater than the average market price of the common shares
                  and, therefore, would be antidilutive, were 2,375,450 and
                  2,479,700 during the three months ended June 3, 2000 and May
                  29, 1999, respectively.

NOTE 7 -          The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
                  Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
                  Enterprise and Related Information," which established
                  reporting and disclosure standards for an enterprise's
                  operating segments. Operating segments are defined as
                  components of an enterprise for which separate financial
                  information is available and regularly reviewed by the
                  Company's senior management.

                  The Company has the following two reportable segments:
                  Wholesale and Retail. The Wholesale segment designs, markets,
                  sources and distributes sportswear, activewear, outerwear,
                  robes and sleepwear for men and robes and sleepwear for ladies
                  to retail store customers. The Retail segment sells men's
                  apparel and other Nautica-branded products primarily through
                  Retail store locations directly to consumers.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS (unaudited)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Three Months Ended June 3, 2000:


         Net sales increased 23.4% to $134.7 million in the three months ended
June 3, 2000 from $109.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The
increase in sales is due primarily to increased unit volume rather than price
increases. The reported sales reflect a 25.7% increase in the Wholesale segment
to $107.8 million from $85.8 million and a 15.1% increase in the Retail segment
to $26.9 million from $23.4 million. The growth in the Wholesale segment was
driven by sales in new product lines and increases in the core sportswear sales.
The overall Retail segment sales increase is a result of sales from new stores
opened since the first quarter of last year, offset by lower comparable store
sales.

         Gross profit for the period was 47.3% compared to 47.0% in the
comparable prior year period. The increase resulted primarily from better
overall margins in both the Wholesale and Retail segments.

         Total selling, general and administrative expenses, ("SG&A") increased
by $14.9 million to $61.0 million in Fiscal 2001 from $46.1 million in Fiscal
2000. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 45.3% from 42.2%
in Fiscal 2001. The increase is principally due to expenses relating to support
the launch of new product lines and markdowns associated with an increase in
promotional activity at retail.

         Net royalty income increased by $.4 million to $1.8 million from $1.4
million in the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily due to
the strength in children's apparel, eyewear and women's swimwear.

         Investment income of $.6 million was comparable to the prior year
period.

         The provision for income taxes decreased to 38.8% from 39.2% of
earnings before income taxes in the comparable prior year period. The decrease
is due primarily to a reduction in the effective state income tax rates.

         Net earnings decreased 29.1% to $3.1 million from $4.4 million in the
comparable prior year period as a result of the factors discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the three months ended June 3, 2000, the Company generated cash
from operating activities of $25.1 million principally from net earnings, and
higher cash receipts from increased sales in the fourth quarter of the prior
year. The increase in inventory of $13.3 million, to support increased sales
levels, was financed principally by cash generated from net earnings, increases
in accounts payable-trade and a decrease in accounts receivable. Accounts
receivable and inventory were higher than the same period in the prior year by
16.7% and 4.5%, respectively. These increases were related to sales increases.
During the three months ended May 29, 1999, the Company generated cash from
operating activities of $20.2 million principally from net earnings and higher
cash receipts from increased sales in the fourth quarter of the prior year. The
increase in inventory of $13.2 million, was financed principally by cash
generated from net earnings and a decrease in accounts receivable. Accounts
receivable was 26.7% higher than the same period in the prior year due to timing
of shipments, with a greater percentage occurring in the last part of the
quarter. Inventory was 2.6% lower than the same period in the prior year due to
a shift by retailers in order delivery dates for the fall season particularly
outerwear.

         During the three months ended June 3, 2000, the Company's principal
investing activities related primarily to the continued expansion of the Nautica
in-store shop program. The Company expects to continue to incur capital
expenditures to expand the in-store shop program, open additional Retail stores
and build a new distribution facility. At June 3, 2000, there were no other
material commitments for capital expenditures.

         During the three months ended June 3, 2000, the Board of Directors
authorized the Company to purchase 4,000,000 shares of its common stock. During
such period, the Company purchased 2,398,000 shares of its outstanding common
stock at a cost of $27.6 million. Subsequent to June 3, 2000, the Company has
purchased an additional 135,000 shares at a cost of $1.2 million.

         The Company has a total of $150.0 million in lines of credit with four
commercial banks available for short-term borrowings and letters of credit.
These lines are collateralized by imported inventory and accounts receivable. At
June 3, 2000 and March 4, 2000, letters of credit outstanding under the lines
were $86.4 million and $50.5 million, respectively, and there were no short-term
borrowings outstanding.

         Historically, the Company has experienced its highest level of sales in
the second and third quarters and its lowest level in the first and fourth
quarters due to seasonal patterns. In the future, the timing of seasonal
shipments may vary by quarter. The Company anticipates that internally generated
funds from operations, existing cash balances, short-term investments and the
Company's existing credit lines will be sufficient to satisfy its cash
requirements.

INFLATION AND CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

         The Company believes that inflation and the effect of fluctuations of
the dollar against foreign currencies have not had a material effect on the cost
of imports or the Company's results of operations.

ITEM 3:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Disclosure about interest rate risk

          The Company has no long-term debt, and finances capital needs through
available capital, future earnings and bank lines of credit. The Company's
exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is primarily in its
investment portfolio. The Company, pursuant to investing guidelines, mitigates
exposure by limiting maturity, placing investments with high credit quality
issuers and limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. During the
three months ended June 3, 2000, the Company earned investment income of $.6
million. If interest rates had been 1% lower than they were during the year,
investment income would have been $.2 million lower. The market risks associated
with the investment portfolio exposure has not changed materially since March 4,
2000.
