     The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as
     required by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in

     principal amount of its 12.875% Subordinated Debentures. As a result, the
     Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $114,000, net of related costs, in the
     first quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company has reduced its mandatory sinking
     fund requirement due in October 2000 with these debentures.

     they would be considered antidilutive.

6.   SEGMENT-RELATED INFORMATION

     The Company has two reportable business segments: intimate apparel and
     retail. The Company's reportable segments are individual business units
     that offer different products and services. They are managed separately
     because each segment requires different strategic initiatives, marketing,
     and advertising based on its own individual positioning in the market.
     Additionally, these segments reflect the reporting basis used internally by
     senior management to evaluate performance and the allocation of resources.

     The Company's intimate apparel segment designs, sources, manufactures,
     markets and sells an extensive line of ladies' intimate apparel. This
     segment primarily sells to discount, specialty, national and regional
     chain, mass merchandise and department stores and direct mail catalog
     marketers throughout the United States, as well as its Company-owned retail
     stores.

     The retail segment sells apparel products purchased primarily from external
     suppliers, as well as from the Company's intimate apparel segment.


<PAGE>

     Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost and treated as a
     transfer of inventory. Senior management does not review these sales when
     evaluating segment performance. The Company's senior management evaluates
     each segment's performance based upon income or loss from operations before
     interest, nonrecurring gains and losses and income taxes.

     The Company's net sales, income from operations and total assets for each
     segment for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 were as
     follows (in thousands):

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

The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements with
respect to anticipated results, which are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially are: business conditions and growth in the Company's industry;
general economic conditions; the addition or loss of significant customers; the
loss of key personnel; product development; competition; foreign government
regulations; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; rising costs of
raw materials and the unavailability of sources of supply; the timing of orders
placed by the Company's customers; and the risk factors listed from time to time
in the Company's SEC reports .

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 decreased $625,000 to
$18,594,000 from $19,219,000 in the comparable period in 1999. The decrease in
sales resulted from lower sales in the intimate apparel division and the retail
division of approximately $277,000 and $348,000, respectively. The decrease in
sales for the intimate apparel division was due primarily to a soft retail
environment that caused customers to defer to October the delivery of goods
originally scheduled for delivery in September. Net sales in the retail division
decreased primarily from the closing of eight of its retail stores in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2000.

The gross profit percentage increased to 31.5% for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 from 27.6% in the similar period in 1999. The gross margin in
the Company's intimate apparel division increased to 31.6% in 2000 from 27.4% in
the similar period in 1999. The higher margins in the intimate apparel division
resulted primarily from the shift of production from the Company's last fully
operational domestic manufacturing facility to offshore locations and the sale
of excess inventory at discounted prices in the prior year.

The gross margin for the retail division remained unchanged at 30.5% for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 and for the similar period in 1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,127,000, or 22.2% of net
sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $4,029,000,
or 21.0 % of net sales for the similar period in 1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the Company's
intimate apparel division were $3,651,000, or 21.2% of net sales for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $3,395,000, or 19.4% of net
sales for the similar period in 1999. This increase of $256,000 resulted
primarily from an increase in shipping expense. The increase in shipping expense
was primarily due to the allocation of expenses at the Company's Virginia
facility that eliminated its production in January 2000 and now operates as a
distribution center.

The Company's retail division had selling, general and administrative expenses
of $476,000, or 35.4% of net sales for the three months ended September 30,
2000, as compared to $634,000, or 37.5% of net sales for the similar period in
1999. This improvement was primarily due to the closing of the eight stores in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.




<PAGE>

Income from operations increased to $1,729,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, from $1,281,000 for the similar period in 1999. This
increase was due to higher margins partially offset by lower sales and higher
selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company's intimate apparel division had income from operations of $1,792,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to income from
operations of $1,397,000 for the similar period in 1999. This increase was due
to higher margins partially offset by lower sales and higher selling, general
and administrative expenses.

The Company's retail division had a loss from operations of $63,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to a loss from operations of
$116,000 for the similar period in 1999. The operational results for the retail
division are based on direct operating expenses and do not include any indirect
corporate overhead.

During August and September 1999, the Company purchased $2,834,000 in principal
amount of its 12.875% Subordinated Debentures. As a result, the Company recorded
a pre-tax gain of $114,000, net of related costs.

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 decreased by
$17,000 to $1,000 from $18,000 in the comparable period in 1999.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 decreased by
$125,000 to $434,000 from $559,000 in the comparable period in 1999, due to
overall lower borrowing levels.

The Company provided for an income tax provision of $26,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000, as compared to a $17,000 income tax provision for the
same period in 1999.

The Company had net income of $1,270,000 and $837,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in net income was due to
higher margins and lower interest expense, offset partially by a decrease in
sales, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, a larger gain on the
purchase of the Company's 12.875% Subordinated Debentures in the prior year,
lower interest income and a larger income tax provision in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's working capital
decreased by $5,802,000 to $11,451,000, primarily due to the transfer of the
principal amount of the Company's 8% Senior Notes from long-term debt to
short-term, partially offset by operating profits.

During the three months ended September 30, 2000, cash decreased by $352,000.
The Company used cash of $5,412,000 in its operations, $33,000 for the purchase
of fixed assets and $30,000 for the repayment and purchases of long-term debt
and the payment of lease obligations. The net proceeds from short-term
borrowings of $5,018,000 and the sale of certain non-operating assets
aggregating $105,000 funded these activities.




<PAGE>

Receivables at September 30, 2000 increased by $5,944,000 to $13,904,000 from
$7,960,000 at June 30, 2000. The increase is due to normal seasonal shipping
fluctuations in the Company's intimate apparel division within the period.

Inventory at September 30, 2000 increased by $332,000 to $14,975,000 from
$14,643,000 at June 30, 2000. This increase resulted from an increase in the
intimate apparel division of approximately $447,000, partially offset by a
decrease in the retail division of approximately $115,000.

During August 2000, the Company sold a non-operating manufacturing facility
located in Mississippi, for approximately $105,000. The Company did not
recognize a gain or loss on this transaction.

During September 2000, the Company purchased $10,000 in principal amount of its
12.875% Subordinated Debentures. The Company will further reduce its final
payment due in October 2001 by an amount equal to the face amount of the
principal of these debentures.

During August and September 1999, the Company purchased $2,834,000 in principal
amount of its 12.875% Subordinated Debentures. As a result, the Company recorded
a pre-tax gain of $114,000, net of related costs. The Company has reduced its
mandatory sinking fund requirement due in October 2000 by an amount equal to the
face amount of the principal of these debentures.

As of September 30, 2000, included in current liabilities is $7,566,000 of 8%
Senior Notes, and $71,500 of 8% Convertible Senior Notes. The 8% Senior Notes
and the 8% Convertible Senior Notes mature on September 1, 2001. The $71,500 of
8% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into the Company's common stock, at
any time prior to maturity, at a price of $0.375 per share. The Company also has
$4,337,000 of 12.875% Subordinated Debentures which are due on October 1, 2001
and are recorded as long-term debt. As of the commencement of the current fiscal
quarter on October 1, 2000, the remaining principal amount of the 12.875%
Subordinated Debentures will be reflected in current liabilities

The Company's has a secured revolving line of credit of up to $18,000,000. The
revolving line of credit expires July 1, 2001 and is sufficient for the
Company's projected needs for operating capital and letters of credit to fund
the purchase of imported goods through July 1, 2001. Direct borrowings under
this line bear interest at the prime rate of Chase Manhattan Bank. Availability
under the line of credit is subject to the Company's compliance with certain
agreed upon financial formulas. Under the terms of this financing, the Company
has agreed to pledge substantially all of its assets, except the Company's real
property.

Management believes the available borrowing under its secured revolving line of
credit, along with anticipated internally generated funds, will be sufficient to
cover its working capital requirements through July 1, 2001. Management is also
currently exploring alternatives for refinancing the remaining principal of the
8% Senior Notes and the 8% Convertible Senior Notes and the 12.875% Subordinated
Debentures, maturing on September 1, 2001 and October 1, 2001, respectively.

The Company does not anticipate making any purchases of its stock and
anticipates that capital expenditures for fiscal 2001 will be less than
$650,000.

Recently Issued Accounting Standard

Recently Issued Accounting Standard - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities." This Statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires the
recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement
of financial position and measurement of those instruments at fair value. The
accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative is dependent upon the
intended use of the derivative. SFAS No. 133 will be effective in the Company's
first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001 and retroactive
application is not permitted. The Company has determined that SFAS No. 133 does
not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In November 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff
Accounting and Bulletin ("SAB") 101, "Revenue Recognition." This Bulletin sets
forth The SEC Staff's position regarding the point at which it is appropriate
for a Registrant to recognize revenue. The Staff believes that revenue is
realizable and earned when all of the follow criteria are met: persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or service has been
rendered; the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company uses the above criteria to
determine whether revenue can be recognized, and therefore believes that the
issuance of this Bulletin does not have a material impact on these financial
statements.

Imports

The Company's transactions with its foreign manufacturers and suppliers are
subject to the risks of doing business abroad. The Company's import and offshore
operations are subject to constraints imposed by agreements between the United
States and a number of foreign countries in which the Company does business.
These agreements impose quotas on the amount and type of goods that can be
imported into the United States from these countries. Such agreements also allow
the United States to impose, at any time, restraints on the importation of
categories of merchandise that, under the terms of the agreements, are not
subject to specified limits. The Company's imported products are also subject to
United States customs duties, and in the ordinary course of business, the
Company is from time to time subject to claims by the United States Customs
Service for duties and other charges. The United States and other countries in
which the Company's products are manufactured may, from time to time, impose new
quotas, duties, tariffs or other restrictions, or adversely adjust presently
prevailing quotas, duty or tariff levels, which could adversely affect the
Company's operations and its ability to continue to import products at current
or increased levels. The Company cannot predict the likelihood or frequency of
any such events occurring.
