              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 AUGUST 31, 2002
                                   (unaudited)
                    (amounts in thousands, except share data)



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
         accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
         America 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 six-month period ended
         August 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the full year.


NOTE 3 -        Certain amounts in the prior year period have been
         reclassified to conform with classifications used at August 31, 2002.


NOTE 4 -        The Company utilized the last-in, first-out "LIFO" method for
         certain wholesale inventories as at August 31, 2002 and March 2, 2002
         and for the six and three-month periods ended August 31, 2002 and
         September 1, 2001. The "LIFO" inventory for the six and three-month
         periods ended August 31, 2002 and September 1, 2001 are based upon end
         of year estimates. Inventories at August 31, 2002 and March 2, 2002
         consist primarily of finished goods.

NOTE 5 -        As of August 31, 2002 and March 2, 2002, the Company had
         $175,000 in lines of credit with four commercial banks. Such lines of
         credit are available for short-term borrowings and letters of credit,
         collateralized by imported inventory and accounts receivable. At August
         31, 2002, letters of credit outstanding under the lines were $94,116.
         At August 31, 2002 and March 2, 2002, there were no short-term
         borrowings outstanding.

NOTE 6 -        Basic net earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed
         by dividing income available to common stockholders 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. Dilutive stock options included in the
         calculation of diluted weighted-average shares were 943,000 and
         1,668,000 during the six months ended August 31, 2002 and September 1,
         2001, respectively.

                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 2,329,000 and 2,215,900 during
         the six months ended August 31, 2002 and September 1, 2001,
         respectively and 2,397,000 and 2,238,400 during the three months ended
         August 31, 2002 and September 1, 2001, respectively.

NOTE 7 -          The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
         Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes 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 the following to retail store customers: sportswear,
         activewear, outerwear, a jeans collection, a tailored clothing
         collection, robes and sleepwear for men; a jeans collection, robes and
         sleepwear for women; and a children's collection. The Retail segment
         sells men's, women's and children's apparel and other Nautica-branded
         products primarily through its retail store locations directly to
         consumers.

                  The reportable segments are distinct business units,
         separately managed with different distribution channels.

                  Net sales from external customers represent sales in the
         United States, except for foreign sales of $4,790 and $4,717 for the
         six months ended August 31, 2002 and September 1, 2001, respectively.

                  Long-lived assets in foreign countries were $3,364 and $3,718
         for the periods ended August 31, 2002 and September 1, 2001,
         respectively.

                  The All other column represents activity of the Company's
         licensing unit.

                  In the Corporate/eliminations column, the segment assets
         primarily consist of the Company's cash and investment portfolio and
         deferred taxes at August 31, 2002 and corporate fixed assets and
         deferred taxes at September 1, 2001. The segment operating profit
         (loss) in the Corporate/eliminations column consists of corporate
         overhead expenses and special charges for the six months ended August
         31, 2002 and corporate overhead expenses for the six months ended
         September 1, 2001.

NOTE 8 -        The Company has a loan agreement with HSBC Bank USA ("HSBC")
         in the amount of $15,075, the funds of which were used to finance a
         portion of the construction and development of the Company's
         distribution facility in Martinsville, Virginia. The loan is secured by
         a deed of trust on the distribution facility. The carrying value of the
         underlying asset was $17,821 at August 31, 2002.

                  The term of the loan is seven years. Principal payments of
         $188 and interest payments are due at the end of each calendar quarter.
         Interest is computed based on the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%.
         The loan agreement provides for various financial and restrictive
         covenants including, among others, tangible net worth, minimum fixed
         charges and minimum funded debt. The loan will mature on November 28,
         2008, at which time the entire outstanding loan balance of $9,987 will
         be due and payable.

                  The Company entered into a swap agreement with HSBC, effective
         November 30, 2001, to hedge against interest rate fluctuations. On
         March 22, 2002, the Company replaced such agreement with a "knock-out"
         swap agreement with Fleet National Bank ("Fleet"), which expires on
         November 28, 2008. The swap settles quarterly and contains a knock-out
         provision that is activated when the three-month LIBOR is at or above
         7.00%. The swap agreement provides that the Company pay a fixed
         interest rate of 6.32% on the notional amount in exchange for receiving
         a variable rate based on LIBOR so long as the three-month LIBOR
         interest rate does not rise above 7.00%. If the three-month LIBOR rate
         rises above 7.00%, the swap knocks out and the Company will not receive
         any payments under the agreement until such time as the three-month
         LIBOR rate declines below 7.00%. The three-month LIBOR rate was 1.81%
         at August 31, 2002. The net interest paid or received under this
         agreement is included in interest expense.

                  The Company has adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
         Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, which
         requires companies to record all derivative instruments as assets or
         liabilities on the balance sheet, measured at fair value. The
         recognition of gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of
         those derivative instruments is based on the use of each derivative
         instrument and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The key
         criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must be
         highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash
         flows.

                  Prior to March 22, 2002 the Company classified the swap as a
         cash flow hedge, in accordance with SFAS No. 133. The fair value of the
         swap resulted in the Company recording a long-term liability of $858.
         The fair value is based upon the estimated amount that the Company
         would have to pay to terminate the agreement. The "knock-out" swap
         agreement no longer qualifies for hedge accounting and the Company
         began recording the changes in the fair market value of the swap from
         March 22, 2002 as interest expense. The charge to interest expense, net
         of taxes, was $400 for the six months ended August 31, 2002.

                  The amount of long-term debt maturing in each of the next five
         fiscal years is as follows:

NOTE 10 -         On November 2, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors adopted
         a Stockholder Rights Plan that entitled stockholders of record on
         November 12, 2001 to receive a dividend distribution of one Right for
         each share of common stock held. The Rights, which expire on November
         12, 2011, entitle stockholders to purchase from the Company a unit
         consisting of 1/100 of a share of Series A Junior Participating
         Preferred Stock at a price of $60 per unit, subject to adjustment. The
         Rights will become exercisable only if a person or group, other than
         the current Chairman of the Board, acquires 15% or more of the
         Company's common stock.

NOTE 11 -         In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." This statement
         requires that goodwill, as well as intangible assets with indefinite
         lives, acquired after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized. Effective
         in the first quarter of the current year, goodwill and intangible
         assets with indefinite lives are no longer being amortized, but are
         being tested for impairment using the guidance for measuring impairment
         set forth in SFAS No. 142.

NOTE 12 -         During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded
         special charges in connection with its decision to close its
         distribution facility in Rockland, Maine and certain other employee
         terminations. The Company is in the process of moving the businesses
         that currently use this facility to its new distribution and customer
         service center in Martinsville, Virginia. This transition is expected
         to be completed no later than January 31, 2003. The special charges
         related to the closing will total approximately $13,159, of which
         $9,803 was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 and $3,356
         was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The special charges
         are comprised of the write-down of the facility from its net carrying
         value of $10,712 to its estimated net realizable value of $2,842, costs
         associated with the closure and sale of the facility and severance
         related costs associated with the elimination of approximately 300
         union and non-union employees and certain other employee terminations.
         These components and the related activity through August 31, 2002 were
         as follows:

NOTE 13 -         Effective March 3, 2002, the Company adopted Financial
         Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
         No. 01-9, "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer
         (Including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products)." The scope of Issue
         01-9 includes vendor consideration to any purchasers of the vendor's
         products at any point along the distribution chain, regardless of
         whether the purchaser receiving the consideration is a direct customer
         of the vendor. There was no significant impact on the financial
         statements upon adoption.

                  Effective March 3, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142,
         "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill
         and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but
         will be reviewed at least annually for impairment. Separable intangible
         assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to
         be amortized over their useful lives. The Company completed the
         required impairment tests of goodwill during the three months ended
         August 31, 2002 and no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was
         required.

                  Effective March 3, 2002 the Company adopted SFAS No. 144,
         "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets." This
         supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
         Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed of," while retaining
         many of the requirements of such statement. There was no significant
         impact on the financial statements upon adoption.


                  The FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
         No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
         Corrections," on April 30, 2002. Statement No. 145 rescinds Statement
         No.4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishments of debt
         to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item,
         net of related income tax effect. Upon adoption of Statement No. 145,
         companies will be required to apply the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30,
         "Reporting the Results of Operations - reporting the Effects of
         Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
         Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" in determining the
         classification of gains and losses resulting from the extinguishments
         of debt. Statement No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning
         after May 15, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the
         requirements and impact of this statement on its consolidated results
         of operations and financial position.

                  In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for
         Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This standard
         requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal
         activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a
         commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by
         the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee
         severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued
         operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS No.
         146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities
         initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating
         the requirements and impact of this statement, however it does not
         expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect
         on the consolidated results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 14 -         On October 9, 2002, the Company announced that based upon the
         current performance and anticipated future outlook of its Rockefeller
         Plaza store, and in accordance with SFAS No. 144, certain fixed assets
         of the store will be impaired. As a result, the Company expects to
         incur a special non-cash, pre-tax charge in connection with this
         write-down of approximately $9,500 to $10,500 during the third quarter
         of the current fiscal year.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2002:

         Net sales decreased 7.9% to $308.1 million in the six months ended
August 31, 2002 from $334.4 million in the comparable prior year period. The
reported sales reflect a 9.9% decrease in the Wholesale segment to $229.1
million from $254.2 million and a 1.5% decrease in the Retail segment to $79.1
million from $80.3 million. The decline in the Wholesale segment was due
primarily to a decrease in the Company's core sportswear business, offset in
part by strong performances of Nautica Men's and Women's Jeans, as well as
contributions from newer businesses including Earl Jean and Nautica Men's
Underwear. The decrease in Retail segment sales is primarily a result of same
store sales being down mid-single digits from the comparable prior year period
as a result of a difficult retail environment and the Company's decision not to
implement the clearance sales that took place in the prior year period. This
decrease was offset by sales from three new outlet stores and three full-priced
stores opened since the second quarter of last year.

         Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 44.0%, compared to 42.1% in
the comparable prior year period. The increase is due primarily to the Company's
inventory management initiatives and improved sourcing of the Nautica
Children's, Nautica Furnishings and Nautica Men's and Women's Jeans businesses.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased by $1.6
million to $124.0 million in fiscal 2003 from $125.6 million in fiscal 2002.
SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 40.2% in fiscal 2003
from 37.6% in fiscal 2002. The increase as a percentage of net sales is due
primarily to investments in Earl Jean Women's and Men's businesses, the
development of the Nautica Women's Sportwear line and the expansion of the John
Varvatos business into the European market. In addition, the Company incurred a
full six months of expenses from the Earl Jean business in the current period as
opposed to only four months in the comparable prior year period. During the
prior year period, the Company incurred costs, principally bad debts, in the
Nautica Europe business unit of approximately $7.9 million. Excluding the costs
associated with Nautica Europe, SG&A increased $6.3 million compared to the
prior year period.

         During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a pre-tax
special charge of $3.4 million ($2.1 million on an after tax basis) or $0.06 on
a per share basis. This charge consisted of costs associated with the
elimination of approximately 300 union and non-union employees related to the
closing of the Rockland, Maine distribution facility. These costs are expected
to be paid during the current fiscal year and are anticipated to be funded with
cash from operations. The Company expects annual savings associated with this
action to be between $3.5 and $4.0 million. These savings will be reflected in
distribution costs and reported in selling, general and administrative expenses
in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to begin
realizing these cost savings in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year.

         Net royalty income increased by $0.3 million to $4.5 million from $4.2
million in the prior year period. The increase was due primarily to the sales
strength in home products during the current year period. This increase was
offset in part by the recognition of a settlement from the termination of the
men's footwear license during the comparable prior year period.

         Investment income decreased by $0.3 million to $0.6 million from $0.9
million in the prior year period. The decrease is due to unrealized losses in
the Company's short-term investments during the current year period as opposed
to unrealized gains in the prior year period. This decrease was offset, in part,
by an increase in interest income earned on higher average cash balances during
the current year period, as a result of cash paid during the prior year period
for the acquisition of Earl Jean.

         The provision for income taxes decreased to 37.5% from 37.8% of
earnings before income taxes in the comparable prior year period. The decrease
is due primarily to a reduction in the overall effective income tax rates.


                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>
         Net earnings for the current year period was $7.8 million compared to
$12.1 million in the comparable prior year period as a result of the factors
discussed above. Excluding the special charge discussed above, net earnings for
the current year period would have been $9.9 million.


For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2002:

         Net sales decreased 8.5% to $182.2 million in the three months ended
August 31, 2002 from $199.3 million in the comparable prior year period. The
reported sales reflect a 10.4% decrease in the Wholesale segment to $133.7
million from $149.2 million and a 3.1% decrease in the Retail segment to $48.5
million from $50.1 million. The decline in the Wholesale segment was due
primarily to a decrease in the Company's core sportswear business, offset by
increases in Nautica Men's Jeans and Nautica Furnishings. The decrease in Retail
segment sales is primarily a result of same store sales being down high-single
digits from the comparable prior year period as a result of a difficult retail
environment and the Company's decision not to implement the clearance sales that
took place in the prior year period. This decrease was offset by sales from
three new outlet stores and three full-priced stores opened since the second
quarter of last year.

         Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 43.9%, compared to 41.7% in
the comparable prior year period. The increase is due primarily to the Company's
inventory management initiatives and improved sourcing of the Nautica
Children's, Nautica Furnishings and Nautica Men's and Women's Jeans businesses.
Also, the Retail segment's gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased as
more product was sold at regular price, resulting in less markdowns than in the
prior year period.

         SG&A decreased by $5.7 million to $64.7 million in fiscal 2003 from
$70.4 million in fiscal 2002. SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
remained essentially flat compared to the prior year period. Increases in SG&A
were due to investments in the Earl Jean Women's and Men's businesses, the
development of the Nautica Women's Sportwear line and the expansion of the John
Varvatos business into the European market. These increases were offset by costs
incurred during the prior year period, principally bad debts, in the Nautica
Europe business unit of approximately $7.9 million. Excluding the costs
associated with Nautica Europe, SG&A increased $2.2 million compared to the
prior year period.

         Net royalty income increased by $0.2 million to $2.1 million from $1.9
million in the prior year period. The increase was due primarily to the sales
strength in home products during the current year period. This increase was
offset in part by the recognition of a settlement from the termination of the
men's footwear license during the comparable prior year period.

         Investment income decreased by $0.4 million compared to the prior year
period. The decrease is due to unrealized losses in the Company's short-term
investments during the current year period as opposed to unrealized gains in the
prior year period. This decrease was offset, in part, by an increase in interest
income earned on higher average cash balances during the current year period, as
a result of cash paid during the prior year period for the acquisition of Earl
Jean.

         The provision for income taxes decreased to 37.5% from 37.8% of
earnings before income taxes in the comparable prior year period. The decrease
is due primarily to a reduction in the overall effective income tax rates.

         Net earnings for the current year period was $10.4 million compared to
$8.9 million in the comparable prior year period as a result of the factors
discussed above.


Subsequent Event:

         On October 9, 2002, the Company announced that based upon the current
performance and anticipated future outlook of its Rockefeller Plaza store, and
in accordance with SFAS No. 144, certain fixed assets of the store will be
impaired. As a result, the Company expects to incur a special non-cash, pre-tax
charge in connection with this write-down of approximately $9.5 million to $10.5
million during the third quarter of the current fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the six months ended August 31, 2002, the Company generated cash
from operating activities of $21.9 million, principally from net earnings.
Accounts receivable was $24.1 million or 18.8% lower than the same period in the
prior year due mainly to the reduction in wholesale shipments in the current
year period. Inventory was $34.8 million or 24.0% lower than the same period in
the prior year due to the Company's ability to better manage the timing of
receipts with customer demand as well as a reduction in its offerings of
replenishment styles.

         During the six months ended September 1, 2001, the Company used cash in
operating activities of $19.2 million. Increases in inventory and accounts
receivable of $36.6 and $25.1 million, respectively, resulted from increased
sales, and were financed principally by cash generated from net earnings and an
increase in accounts payable and short-term borrowings. Of the inventory
increase, approximately $18.0 million was used to support wholesale and retail
sales growth, especially in our new businesses. The balance of the increase is
comprised of a year over year increase in basic replenishment, and excess
inventory that the Company expects to sell by year-end. Accounts receivable was
17.9% higher than the same period in the prior year, which is consistent with
the wholesale sales growth.

         During the six months ended August 31, 2002, the Company's principal
investing activities related primarily to the purchase of property, plant and
equipment for the Nautica in-store shop program. The Company expects to continue
to incur capital expenditures to expand the in-store shop program, and to open
additional retail stores.

         The Company has a total of $175.0 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
August 31, 2002 and March 2, 2002, letters of credit outstanding under the lines
were $94.1 million and $33.8 million, respectively, and there were no short-term
borrowings outstanding.

         The following is a summary of the Company's contractual obligations for
the periods indicated that existed as of August 31, 2002:

         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.

CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS AND INFLATION

           The Company contracts production with manufacturers located primarily
in Asia. These contracts are denominated in United States dollars. The Company
believes that, to date, the effect of fluctuations of the dollar against foreign
currencies has not had a material effect on the cost of production or the
Company's results of operations. There can be no assurance that costs for the
Company's products will not be affected by future fluctuations in the exchange
rate between the United States dollar and the local currencies of these
manufacturers. Due to the number of currencies involved, the Company cannot
quantify the potential effect of such future fluctuations on future income. The
Company does not engage in hedging activities with respect to such exchange rate
risk.

         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.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         Effective March 3, 2002, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board's ("FASB") Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-9,
"Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a
Reseller of the Vendor's Products)." The scope of Issue 01-9 includes vendor
consideration to any purchasers of the vendor's products at any point along the
distribution chain, regardless of whether the purchaser receiving the
consideration is a direct customer of the vendor. There was no significant
impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

         Effective March 3, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no
longer amortized but will be reviewed at least annually for impairment.
Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company completed the
required impairment tests of goodwill during the period ended August 31, 2002
and no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required.

         Effective March 3, 2002 the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets." This supercedes SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long Lived
Assets to be Disposed of," while retaining many of the requirements of such
statement. There was no significant impact on the financial statements upon
adoption.

         The FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44,
and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," on April
30, 2002. Statement No. 145 rescinds Statement No.4, which required all gains
and losses from extinguishments of debt to be aggregated and, if material,
classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. Upon
adoption of Statement No. 145, companies will be required to apply the criteria
in APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" in determining the
classification of gains and losses resulting from the extinguishments of debt.
Statement No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.
The Company is currently evaluating the requirements and impact of this
statement on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.


         In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This standard requires companies
to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are
incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan.
Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and
certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring,
discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS
No. 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated
after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements
and impact of this statement, however it does not expect the adoption of this
pronouncement will have a material effect on the consolidated results of
operations or financial position.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United
States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and
expenses during the period. Management continually evaluates its estimates and
assumptions including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, sales
returns and allowances, inventory valuation, accrual for markdowns and the
valuation of long-lived assets. Management bases its estimates and assumptions
on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. Changes in the economic conditions in the
retail industry could have an impact on these estimates and the Company's actual
results. Management believes that the following may involve a higher degree of
judgment or complexity:

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

         In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit, on open
account, to its retail store customers, after a credit analysis based on
financial and other criteria. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful
accounts for estimated losses that result from the inability of its retail store
customers to make their required payments. Management bases its allowances
through analysis of the aging of accounts receivable at the date of the
financial statements, assessments of historical collection trends, and an
evaluation of the impact of current economic conditions.

Sales Returns and Allowances

         Costs associated with potential returns of merchandise and charge backs
are recorded as a reduction to net sales, and are included in the allowance for
doubtful accounts. These costs are based upon known returns and allowances,
historic trends and the evaluation of the impact of current economic conditions.

Inventory Valuation

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the last-in, first-out method for certain wholesale inventories
and by the first-in, first-out method for retail and the remaining wholesale
inventories. The Company marks down inventory for estimated unmarketable
inventory equal to the difference between the cost and the estimated net
realizable value of the inventory. Management continually assesses the valuation
of inventories by reviewing the costing of inventory, the significance of
slow-moving inventory, and the impact of current economic conditions.

Accrual for Markdowns

         Costs associated with customer markdowns are recorded as a reduction to
net sales, and are included in the allowance for doubtful accounts. These costs
result from seasonal negotiations with the Company's retail store customers, as
well as historic trends and the evaluation of the impact of current economic
conditions.

Valuation of Long-lived Assets

         The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles held and used for possible impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of such assets,
the Company performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash
flows of the individual assets over the remaining amortization period. The
Company recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying value of the asset exceeds
the expected future cash flows.

FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

         Certain statements in this Form 10-Q and in future filings by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press
releases, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of authorized
personnel constitute "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the
Company's current expectations of future events and are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company's actual results to differ
materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Should one or
more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
anticipated, estimated or projected. These factors and uncertainties include,
among others: the risk that new businesses of the Company will not be integrated
successfully; the risk that the Company will experience difficulties with
respect to the transitioning and ramp-up of its new distribution facility; the
overall level of consumer spending on apparel; dependence on sales to a limited
number of large department store customers; risks related to extending credit to
customers; actions of existing or new competitors and changes in economic or
political conditions in the markets where the Company sells or sources its
products; risks associated with consolidations, restructuring and other
ownership changes in the retail industry; changes in trends in the market
segments in which the Company competes; risks associated with uncertainty
relating to the Company's ability to launch, support and implement new product
lines in the United States and Europe; effects of competition; changes in the
costs of raw materials, labor and advertising; the ability to secure and protect
trademarks and other intellectual property rights; and, the impact that any
labor disruption at the Company's ports of entry could have on timely product
deliveries. These and other risks and uncertainties are disclosed from time to
time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including the Company's periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, the Company's
press releases and in oral statements made by or with the approval of authorized
personnel. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements as a result of new information or future events or developments.


ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Disclosure about interest rate risk

         The Company finances its capital needs through available capital,
future earnings, bank lines of credit and its long-term debt which totals $14.7
million, inclusive of its current portion. The Company's exposure to market risk
for changes in interest rates are primarily in its investment portfolio and its
short and long-term borrowings. The Company, pursuant to investing guidelines,
mitigates exposure on its investments by limiting maturity, placing investments
with high credit quality issuers and limiting the amount of credit exposure to
any one issuer. All of the Company's indebtedness, including borrowings under
its $175 million lines of credit and long-term debt, bear interest at variable
rates. Accordingly, changes in interest rates would impact the Company's results
of operations in future periods. On March 22, 2002, the Company entered into a
"knock-out" swap agreement with Fleet National Bank ("Fleet"), which expires on
November 28, 2008. The swap settles quarterly and contains a knock-out provision
that is activated when the three-month LIBOR is at or above 7.00%. The swap
agreement provides that the Company pay a fixed interest rate of 6.32% on the
notional amount in exchange for receiving a variable rate based on LIBOR so long
as the three-month LIBOR interest rate does not rise above 7.00%. If the
three-month LIBOR rate rises above 7.00%, the swap knocks out and the Company
will receive no payments under the agreement until such time as the three-month
LIBOR rate declines below 7.00%. The three-month LIBOR rate was 1.81% at August
31, 2002. The net interest paid or received under this agreement is included in
interest expense.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

         The Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and
procedures" (as defined in Sections 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) as of a date (the "Evaluation Date") within 90 days before
the filing date of this quarterly report, have concluded that as of the
Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective
and designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and the
Company's consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within
those entities to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in internal controls

         There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to
the Evaluation Date.
