ITEM  1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

           Barneys New York, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Holdings"), is the
parent company of Barney's, Inc., a New York corporation ("Barneys"), which
together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), is a leading
upscale retailer of men's, women's and children's apparel and accessories and
items for the home. The Company is engaged in three distribution channels which
encompass its various product offerings: the full-price stores, the outlet
stores and the warehouse sale events. In addition, the Company is involved in
licensing arrangements pursuant to which the "Barneys New York" trade name is
licensed for use in Asia. See " -- Licensing Arrangements" below.

           Barneys was founded by Barney Pressman in 1923 under the name
Barney's Clothes, Inc. Until its emergence from bankruptcy in January 1999,
Barneys was owned by the Pressman Family, certain affiliates of the Pressman
Family and certain trusts of which members of the Pressman Family were the
beneficiaries. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization for Barneys and certain of
its affiliates as confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"), Holdings was formed and
all the equity interests in Barneys were transferred to Holdings, making Barneys
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. See " -- The Reorganization" below.

           The Company operates seven full-price stores (three of which are
flagship stores located in New York, Chicago and Beverly Hills and four of which
are regional stores) and eight outlet stores throughout the United States (see
"PROPERTIES" below) under the "BARNEYS NEW YORK" trade name. Barneys merchandise
is priced at the upper end of the market and appeals to sophisticated customers
whose income levels are above average. Its merchandising philosophy stresses a
variety of fashion viewpoints. It offers a mix of merchandise, including men's,
women's and children's clothes and accessories plus decorative items for the
home and gifts. The merchandise is from a variety of resources including
established designers, new designers, branded goods and private label goods. The
Company purchases merchandise from a broad range of vendors, domestic and
foreign, including designers, manufacturers of branded goods and private label
resources. Major designers include Giorgio Armani, Prada, Jil Sander, Donna
Karan, Comme des Garcons, Robert Clergerie and Ermenegildo Zegna. Major branded
goods include Oxxford and Hickey Freeman, and major cosmetics lines including
but not limited to Chanel, Francois Nars and Kiehls. A significant portion of
the merchandise is manufactured in Europe (primarily Italy). The flagship stores
in New York and Beverly Hills also include restaurants managed by third party
contractors. In addition to its full-price retail business, the Company has
developed two operations which focus on outlet stores and warehouse sale events.

RETAILING STRATEGY

           During fiscal 1999, the Company's sales were derived as follows: 83%
from full-price stores (75% from three flagship stores, and 8% from four
regional stores), 9% from outlet stores and 8% from warehouse sale events.

FULL-PRICE STORES

           The Company operates seven full-price stores: three large flagship
stores in prime retail locations in New York, Beverly Hills and Chicago, and
four small regional stores in Manhasset, NY, Seattle, WA, Chestnut Hill, MA and
World Financial Center, NY.

           The three large flagship stores establish and promote the Barneys New
York image as a pre-eminent retailer of men's and women's fashion. They provide
customers with a wide range of high quality products, including apparel,
accessories, cosmetics and items for the home. They cater to affluent,
fashion-conscious men and women. The four smaller regional stores aim to serve
similar customers in smaller urban markets. These stores provide a limited
selection of the assortment offered in the flagship stores.

           Creative merchandising, store design and displays, advertising
campaigns and publicity events develop the image of Barneys New York as a
fashion leader. The flagship stores create aesthetic shopping environments to
showcase designer and private label merchandise with the Barneys New York point
of view. Customer relationships are developed with in-store service, marketing
communications and a customer loyalty awards program.

OUTLET STORES

           The Company operates eight outlet stores across the country. The
outlet stores leverage the Barneys New York brand to reach a wider audience by
providing a lower priced version of the sophistication, style and quality of the
merchandise and retail experience provided in the full-price stores. The outlet
stores also provide a clearance vehicle for full-price stores' residual
merchandise. The stores operate with a low cost structure.

           The outlet stores cater to budget-minded yet fashion-conscious men
and women, selling designer, branded and private label apparel and accessories.
They are located in high-end outlet centers and serve a high number of
destination shoppers and tourists.

WAREHOUSE SALE EVENTS

           The Company operates four warehouse sale events annually, one each
season in New York City, New York and Santa Monica, California. The warehouse
sale events provide another vehicle for liquidation of end of season residual
merchandise, as well as a low cost extension of the Barneys New York brand to a
wider audience. The events attract a wide range of shoppers, mostly bargain
hunters who value quality and fashion.

THE REORGANIZATION

           On January 10, 1996 (the "Filing Date"), Barneys and certain of its
subsidiaries commenced proceedings under Chapter 11 of title 11, United States
Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") by filing petitions in the Bankruptcy Court. On


                                       4
<PAGE>

January 28, 1999 (the "Effective Date"), the Company emerged from reorganization
proceedings (the "Reorganization") under the Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a
Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, dated November 13, 1998, as
supplemented and as confirmed on December 21, 1998 by the Bankruptcy Court (the
"Plan"). The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Plan that
became effective on the Effective Date.

           OVERVIEW. Pursuant to the Plan, Holdings was formed and, on the
Effective Date, all of the outstanding capital stock of Barneys was transferred
to Holdings by the holders thereof. In addition, prior to the Effective Date,
Barneys formed three subsidiaries (two of which, Barneys (CA) Lease Corp. and
Barneys (NY) Lease Corp., are direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Barneys, and
one of which, Barneys America (Chicago) Lease Corp., is a direct, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Barneys America, Inc., which is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary
of Barneys and which was in existence since before the Filing Date), each of
which acts as a lessee and sublessor for one of the flagship stores. See
"PROPERTIES." BNY Licensing Corp. ("BNY Licensing"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Barneys, is party to certain licensing arrangements. Barneys Asia Co. LLC is
70% owned by BNY Licensing and 30% owned by an affiliate of Isetan Company Ltd.
("Isetan") and was formed prior to the Effective Date pursuant to the Plan. See
"-- Licensing Arrangements." On the Effective Date, Bay Harbour Management L.C.
("Bay Harbour") and Whippoorwill Associates, Inc. ("Whippoorwill," and, together
with Bay Harbour, the "Plan Investors") on behalf of their discretionary and/or
managed accounts, became the two largest holders of shares of common stock,
$0.01 par value, of Holdings ("Holdings Common Stock"). Each of the Plan
Investors has appointed three designees to the Board of Directors of each of
Holdings and Barneys. On the Effective Date, Isetan became the third largest
holder of shares of Holdings Common Stock, a creditor of Holdings pursuant to
the Isetan Note referred to below and the lessor of the Company's three flagship
stores. See "PROPERTIES." In addition, Isetan is entitled to appoint, pursuant
to a contractual arrangement, and has appointed, a designee on the Board of
Directors of each of Holdings and Barneys. Isetan is also a licensee of the
Barneys name in Japan. See "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS."

       EQUITY. Pursuant to the Plan, the following equity was issued:

           Issued In Exchange for Claims. The equity in Barneys was exchanged
for shares of Holdings Common Stock, and certain allowed general unsecured
claims and claims held by Isetan against Barneys and certain of its affiliates
were exchanged for, among other things, shares of Holdings Common Stock and
warrants (as defined below).

           Rights Offering. Rights to subscribe for shares of Holdings Common
Stock ("Subscription Rights") were issued in accordance with the Plan to all
holders of allowed general unsecured claims (other than members of the Pressman
Family and Isetan, each of which were party to separate arrangements described
herein, and other than holders of general unsecured claims whose claims were for
less than $2,300 and holders of general unsecured claims of greater than $2,300
who elected to receive cash in settlement of their claims). Certain recipients
of Subscription Rights exercised such rights prior to the expiration thereof,
which was prior to consummation of the Plan. The $62.5 million offering of
Subscription Rights was guaranteed by Bay Harbour and Whippoorwill on behalf of
their discretionary and/or managed accounts to the extent the other holders of


                                       5
<PAGE>

allowed general unsecured claims did not elect to participate in the offering.
Bay Harbour and Whippoorwill agreed to guarantee the offering of Subscription
Rights pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
November 13, 1998 among Barneys, Bay Harbour, Whippoorwill and the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Barneys (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"). In
the offering, the Plan Investors purchased an aggregate of 6,707,531 shares of
Holdings Common Stock for an aggregate price of approximately $58.2 million.

           Option. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Plan Investors
were granted an option to purchase, at an aggregate exercise price of $5.0
million, a total of 576,122 shares of Holdings Common Stock. Pursuant to the
option, each of the Plan Investors had the right to purchase the greater of (i)
288,061 shares of Holdings Common Stock, and (ii) 576,122 shares of Holdings
Common Stock, less the number of shares purchased by the other Plan Investor. On
November 12, 1999, each of Bay Harbour and Whippoorwill notified the Company of
its intention to exercise the option in full. The closing of the exercise
occurred on November 19, 1999.

           Isetan Warrant. An affiliate of Isetan was issued a warrant (the
"Isetan Warrant") to purchase 287,724 shares of Holdings Common Stock at an
exercise price of $14.68 per share. This warrant expires on January 29, 2002.

           Unsecured Creditors Warrants. All holders of allowed general
unsecured claims (other than members of the Pressman Family and Isetan, each of
which were party to separate arrangements described herein, and other than
holders of general unsecured claims whose claims were for less than $2,300 and
holders of general unsecured claims of greater than $2,300 who elected to
receive cash in settlement of their claims) were issued warrants (the "Unsecured
Creditors Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,013,514 shares of
Holdings Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.68 per share. These warrants
expire on May 15, 2000.

           Preferred Stock. Holdings issued 15,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), to the Barneys
Employees Stock Plan Trust, which was established for the benefit of eligible
employees of the Company. In addition, Holdings issued 5,000 shares of Preferred
Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 in government securities to
Bay Harbour, which it sold to a third party under a prearranged agreement.

       INDEBTEDNESS. Pursuant to the Plan, the following debt securities were
issued:

           Isetan. Barneys issued a promissory note (the "Isetan Note") in the
principal amount of $22,500,000 to Isetan. The Isetan Note bears interest at the
rate of 10% per annum payable semi-annually, and matures on January 29, 2004.

           Equipment Lessors. On the Effective Date, certain lessors of
equipment to the Company transferred all right, title and interest in such
equipment to the Company. In exchange therefor, the Company issued promissory
notes (the "Equipment Lessors Notes") to such lessors in an aggregate principal
amount of $35,788,865. Such promissory notes bear interest at the rate of
11-1/2% per annum payable semi-annually, mature on January 29, 2004, and are
secured by a first priority lien on the equipment that was the subject of each
of the respective equipment leases.


                                       6
<PAGE>


       OTHER. Barneys paid approximately (i) $23,300,000 in cash to Isetan on
account of its allowed claims, (ii) $50,000 to members of the Pressman Family in
partial settlement of claims filed by them against the Company and in partial
exchange for equity interests in the Company and certain of its affiliates,
(iii) an aggregate of $19,700,000 to holders of allowed administrative and
priority claims, exclusive of professional fees paid, and (iv) an aggregate of
$450,000 to holders of general unsecured claims whose claims were for amounts
less than $2,300 and holders of general unsecured claims of greater than $2,300
who elected to receive cash in settlement of their claims, pursuant to the Plan.
In addition, Barneys entered into consulting agreements with certain members of
the Pressman Family. Pursuant to these agreements, each of which terminated on
the first anniversary of the Effective Date, each of Phyllis Pressman, Robert
Pressman, Gene Pressman and Holly Pressman have agreed to make himself or
herself available to Barneys (up to 60% of full-time for Phyllis Pressman, and
80% of full-time for each of Robert, Gene and Holly Pressman) to furnish
consulting services to Barneys, its subsidiaries and affiliates with respect to
their business and potential business opportunities. The aggregate compensation
payable under the consulting agreements ranges from $410,000 to $1,400,000,
payable in four equal semi-annual installments commencing on the Effective Date.
The Company was also required to pay Nanelle Associates, an entity controlled by
members of the Pressman Family, in respect of its claims in the bankruptcy case,
$400,000, payable in four equal semi-annual installments commencing on the
Effective Date.

       REAL ESTATE. Pursuant to the Plan, an affiliate of Isetan became the sole
owner of the properties on which the Company's three flagship stores are located
and Barneys entered into modifications of the long-term leases for such stores.
See "PROPERTIES" below.

       LICENSING. BNY Licensing entered into the licensing arrangements
described under "Licensing Arrangements" below.

LICENSING ARRANGEMENTS

           BNY Licensing is party to licensing arrangements pursuant to which
(i) two retail stores are operated in Japan and a single in-store department is
operated in Singapore under the name "BARNEYS NEW YORK," each by an affiliate of
Isetan, and (ii) Barneys Asia Co. LLC, which is 70% owned by BNY Licensing and
30% owned by an affiliate of Isetan (and which was formed in connection with the
Reorganization referred to above), has the exclusive right to sublicense the
BARNEYS NEW YORK trademark throughout Asia (excluding Japan). Licensing
agreements governing these arrangements were entered into in connection with
Barneys' emergence from bankruptcy. See " -- The Reorganization" above.

TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS

           The Company owns its principal trademarks and service marks
worldwide, including the "Barneys New York" and "Barneys" marks. In addition to
these marks, the Company owns other important trademarks and service marks used
in its business. The Company's trademarks and service marks are registered in
the United States and internationally. The term of these registrations is
generally ten years, and they are renewable for additional ten-year periods


                                       7
<PAGE>

indefinitely, so long as the marks are still in use at the time of renewal. The
Company is not aware of any claims of infringement or other challenges to its
right to register or use its marks in the United States.

SEASONALITY

           The specialty retail industry is seasonal in nature, with a high
proportion of sales and operating income generated in the November and December
holiday season. As a result, the Company's operating results are significantly
affected by the holiday selling season. Seasonality also affects working capital
requirements, cash flow and borrowings as inventories build in September and
peak in October in anticipation of the holiday selling season. The Company's
dependence on the holiday selling season for sales and income is less than that
of many retailers, because of the significant sales and income generated by the
warehouse sale events held in February and August.

COMPETITION

           The retail industry, in general, and the specialty retail store
business, in particular, are intensely competitive. Generally, the Company's
stores are in competition with both specialty stores and department stores in
the geographic areas in which they operate. The Company's outlet stores and
warehouse sale events also compete with off-price and discount stores. During
the last few years, several of the Company's significant vendor resources have
entered or expanded their presence in the retail business with their own
dedicated stores, which compete directly with the Company's stores (e.g.,
Giorgio Armani, Prada, Gucci and Helmut Lang). Several department store,
specialty store, and vendor store competitors also offer mail order catalog
shopping. The internet is beginning to permit the development of sales venues
run by existing competitor stores or by new ventures that will also compete with
the Company. Some of the retailers with which the Company competes have
substantially greater financial resources than the Company and may have various
other competitive advantages over the Company.

           The trend toward vertical integration of designer resources poses
additional competitive risk for the Company (e.g., Neiman Marcus' purchase of an
interest in the Kate Spade accessories business, LVMH's stable of designer
vendors sold through its Duty Free Shops and Galleria stores as well as
individual designer boutiques). Competition is strong not only for retail
customers, but also for vendor resources. In the Company's luxury retail
business, exclusivity of merchandise brands is very valuable, and retail stores
compete for exclusive distribution arrangements with key designer vendors.

MERCHANDISING

           In fiscal 1999, the Company's top 10 vendor brands accounted for
approximately 23% of total Company sales. The two top vendor brands each
accounted for approximately 5% of total Company sales. All of these brands are
also sold by competitor retailers in certain markets; nine of the ten vendors
also have their own dedicated retail stores. Exclusivity of distribution of
designer brands is a valuable resource in the luxury retail business. The
Company faces risk to its business if certain designer vendors withdraw Barneys
from their distribution, or, conversely, if they provide distribution to
competitors. Management does not expect that the trend toward vertical


                                       8
<PAGE>

integration discussed above or the withdrawal from Barneys of the distribution
of certain designer vendors will have a material impact on the operations of the
Company. If certain vendors were to withdraw distribution from Barneys, the
Company might, in the short term, have difficulty identifying comparable sources
of supply. However, management believes that alternative supply sources do exist
to fulfill the Company's requirements in the event of such a disruption.

EMPLOYEES

           At January 29, 2000, the Company employed approximately 1400 people.
The Company's staffing requirements fluctuate during the year as a result of the
seasonality of the retail apparel industry, adding approximately 100 employees
during the holiday selling season. Approximately 550 of the Company's employees
are represented by unions and the Company believes that overall its relationship
with its employees and the unions is good. During its more than fifty-year
relationship with unions representing its employees, the Company has never been
subjected to a strike.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

           The Company's capital expenditure plan is designed to allocate funds
to projects that are necessary to support the Company's strategic plan. Under
the terms of its $120,000,000 revolving credit facility, capital expenditures
are limited, subject to certain adjustments, to $7,500,000 in fiscal year 2000,
and $7,750,000 in each of fiscal years 2001 and 2002. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
Liquidity and Capital Resources."

CERTAIN TAX MATTERS

FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES

           Pursuant to the Plan, Holdings acquired 100% of Barneys' stock.
Holdings made a Section 338(g) election (the "Election") with respect to the
acquisition under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC").
The tax effects of making the Election resulted in Barneys and each of its
subsidiaries generally being treated, for federal income tax purposes, as having
sold its assets at the time the Plan was consummated and thereafter, as a new
corporation which purchased the same assets as of the beginning of the following
day. As a result, Barneys incurred a gain at the time of the deemed sale in an
amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of its assets and
its collective tax basis of the assets at the time of the sale.

           The Company used existing net operating loss carryforwards to reduce
the gain incurred as a result of this sale. Nevertheless, the Company was
subject to alternative minimum tax. As a result of the Election, the Company has
recorded an accrual for the alternative minimum tax liability as a "fresh start"
adjustment. Furthermore, immediately after the sale, as a result of the IRC
Section 338(g) election, Barneys was stripped of any remaining tax attributes,
including any unutilized net operating loss carryforwards and any unutilized tax
credits. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

OTHER TAXES

           For the years 1996 through 1999 the Company is subject to various tax
audits of Barneys at the present time, particularly by New York State. The
Company believes that pending audit results, in the aggregate, will not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

LIMITED POST - CHAPTER 11 CASE OPERATING HISTORY

           The Company's emergence from Chapter 11 reorganization occurred on
January 28, 1999, and consequently the Company's subsequent operating history is
limited. Financial statements for future periods will not be comparable to the
historical financial statements included herein, for the reasons discussed under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

           This Annual Report contains "forward looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward
looking statements are based on management's expectations, estimates,
projections and assumptions. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends,"
"plans," "believes," "estimates," and variations of such words and similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements which
include, but are not limited to, projections of revenues, earnings and cash
flows. These forward looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
which could cause the Company's actual results or performance to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic
and business conditions, both nationally and in those areas in which the Company
operates; demographic changes; prospects for the retail industry; competition;
changes in business strategy or development plans; the loss of management and
key personnel; the availability of capital to fund the expansion of the
Company's business; changes in consumer preferences or fashion trends; adverse
weather conditions, particularly during peak selling seasons; and changes in the
Company's relationships with designers, vendors and other suppliers.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

           The Company's principal facilities include corporate offices, a
central alterations facility, a distribution center and three flagship stores.
Prior to the Effective Date, Barneys formed three subsidiaries (each, a "Lease
Subsidiary"), each of which acts as lessee and sublessor for one of the flagship
stores. On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, (i) the fee interest in the
properties on which the New York and the Chicago flagship stores are located,
and the leasehold interest in the property on which the Beverly Hills flagship
store is located, were transferred to an affiliate of Isetan, (ii) such
affiliate, as lessor, entered into amended and restated leases with each of the
tenants in each of the properties, and (iii) each of such tenants assigned the
leasehold interest in the related property to one of the Lease Subsidiaries,
which in turn entered into a sublease with Barneys, in the case of the New York
and Beverly Hills stores, and with Barneys America, Inc., a subsidiary of
Barneys, in the case of the Chicago store. The lease for the New York store is
for a term of twenty years, with four options to renew of ten years each. The


                                       10
<PAGE>

lease for the Chicago store is for a term of ten years, with three options to
renew of ten years each. The lease for the Beverly Hills store is for a term of
twenty years, with three options to renew of ten years each. The leases for the
flagship stores are all triple-net leases. In the case of the Beverly Hills
flagship store, Barneys is also responsible for the rent payable pursuant to the
existing ground lease.

           The Company's corporate offices, central alterations facility,
distribution center, warehouse sale event locations and its 15 stores are
located at the following locations:

        New York City, NY

           The Company also leases certain other facilities for its semi-annual
warehouse sale events. The Company believes that all of its facilities are
suitable and adequate for the current and anticipated conduct of its operations.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

           Barneys and certain of its subsidiaries commenced proceedings under
the Bankruptcy Code on January 10, 1996, and emerged therefrom on January 28,
1999. See "BUSINESS -- The Reorganization." In addition, Holdings and its
subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings which are routine and
incidental to the conduct of their business. Management believes that none of
these proceedings, if determined adversely to Holdings or any of its
subsidiaries, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or
results of operations of such entities.

           On or about August, 1996, Barneys commenced an action against Circle
Management Ltd. and Giuseppe Luongo for misappropriation of monies, an
accounting and avoidance of certain post-petition transfers. The action is


                                       11
<PAGE>

pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York. Barneys alleges that Circle Management and Mr. Luongo, operators of the
prior restaurant at the Company's Madison Avenue flagship store known as Mad 61,
have not remitted monies from the operation of the restaurant which belong to
Barneys. Barneys seeks unspecified monetary damages.

           Defendants have answered the complaint and have asserted
counterclaims. The counterclaims allege breach of contract, breach of agency,
libel and the making of false and fraudulent statements about the defendants.
Defendants allege that Barneys did not reimburse them for the operating expenses
of the Mad 61 restaurant and that Barneys made libelous, false and fraudulent
statements about the financial condition of defendants. They seek monetary
damages of not less than $1,000,000. While it is not possible to predict with
certainty the outcome of this case, it is the opinion of management that this
lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating
results, liquidity or consolidated financial statements.

ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS

           As a result of the bankruptcy, the Company is subject to various
Administrative Claims filed by various claimants throughout the bankruptcy case.
In connection with the Plan, the Company was required to establish a Disputed
Administrative Claims Cash Reserve ("Cash Reserve") while the Administrative
Claims are negotiated and settled. The initial total amount of the Cash Reserve
was $4.6 million, of which approximately $2.4 million remains as of January 29,
2000. The Company has reserved in its financial statements the amount it deems
will be necessary to settle these claims, however, there can be no assurances
that the results of the settlement of these Administrative Claims will be on
terms that will not exceed the amount reserved.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

           None.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

MARKET INFORMATION

           There is no current public trading market for Holdings Common Stock
or the Unsecured Creditors Warrants. An aggregate of 854,458 shares of Holdings
Common Stock are issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, and an aggregate
of 1,301,094 shares of Holdings Common Stock are issuable upon exercise of
outstanding warrants. In addition, the Preferred Stock, under certain
circumstances, is convertible into 162,500 shares of Holdings Common Stock. The
Company does not presently intend to apply to list the Holdings Common Stock on
any national securities exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company
believes that all of the shares of Holdings Common Stock held by Bay Harbour,
Whippoorwill and Isetan could be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Resales under Rule 144 are subject
to limitations relating to current public information, volume and manner of
sales. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Holdings has agreed to
register under the Securities Act all shares of Holdings Common Stock held by
Bay Harbour, Whippoorwill and, pursuant to piggyback registration rights,
Isetan. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management," in
the Proxy Statement, which is incorporated herein by reference and which sets
forth the number of shares of Holdings Common Stock owned by each of Bay
Harbour, Whippoorwill and Isetan.

HOLDERS

           The number of record holders of Holdings Common Stock as of April 6,
2000 is 987.

DIVIDENDS

           Each share of Holdings Common Stock will be entitled to participate
equally in any dividend declared by the Board of Directors and paid by Holdings.
The guarantee by Holdings of the Company's new working capital facility
prohibits Holdings from declaring dividends on shares of its capital stock, with


                                       15
<PAGE>

the exception of dividends payable to the holders of the Preferred Stock. The
Company has no present intention to declare dividends on the Holdings Common
Stock.

SIGNIFICANT STOCKHOLDERS

           Bay Harbour and Whippoorwill collectively beneficially own
approximately 80% of the outstanding shares of the Holdings Common Stock. See
"Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" in the Proxy
Statement which is incorporated herein by reference. Accordingly, they may be in
a position to control the outcome of actions requiring stockholder approval,
including the election of directors. This concentration of ownership could also
facilitate or hinder a negotiated change of control of Holdings and,
consequently, have an impact upon the value of the Holdings Common Stock.
Further, the possibility that either Bay Harbour or Whippoorwill may determine
to sell all or a large portion of their shares of Holdings Common Stock in a
short period of time may adversely affect the market price of the Holdings
Common Stock. In addition, Bay Harbour and Whippoorwill have entered into a
stockholders' agreement with respect to their ownership in, and the voting of
the capital stock of, Holdings. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions."

           Allen I. Questrom, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company beneficially owns 5.8% of Holdings Common Stock.

           Other than the securities referred to below, Holdings did not make
any recent sales of unregistered securities.

           Prior to the consummation of the Plan, Subscription Rights were
issued to all holders of allowed general unsecured claims (other than members of
the Pressman Family and Isetan, each of which were party to separate
arrangements described herein, and other than holders of general unsecured
claims whose claims were for less than $2,300 and holders of general unsecured
claims of greater than $2,300 who elected to receive cash in settlement of their
claims) based upon the exemptions provided by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

           5,792,469 shares of Holdings Common Stock, the Isetan Warrant,
1,013,514 Unsecured Creditors Warrants (and any exercise thereof) , the Isetan
Note and the Equipment Lessors Notes were issued on or about the Effective Date
pursuant to the Plan in satisfaction of certain allowed claims against, or
interests in, Barneys and its subsidiaries and pursuant to the offering of
Subscription Rights. Based upon the exemptions provided by Section 1145 of the
Bankruptcy Code (other than as set forth below), Holdings believes that none of
such securities is required to be registered under the Securities Act, in
connection with their issuance and distribution pursuant to the Plan. In
addition, the 6,707,531 shares of Holdings Common Stock issued to Bay Harbour
and Whippoorwill on the Effective Date in respect of their backstop of the
offering of Subscription Rights, the option granted to them pursuant to the
Stock Purchase Agreement and the Preferred Stock were issued in a transaction
pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act. The shares of Preferred Stock were issued on the Effective Date
to the Barneys Employees Stock Plan Trust and to an individual. See "Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" in the Proxy Statement
which is incorporated herein by reference. During 1999, 144 shares of Holdings


                                       16
<PAGE>

Common Stock were issued upon exercise of Unsecured Creditors Warrants, pursuant
to the exemption provided by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. On November
12, 1999, each of Bay Harbour and Whippoorwill exercised in full the option
granted to them pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement in a transaction
pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

           To be filed by amendment.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK ASSESSMENT

           Market risks relating to the Company's operations result primarily
from changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. To address some of
these risks the Company enters into various hedging transactions as described
below. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading purposes and
is not a party to any leveraged derivatives.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

           The Company periodically enters into foreign exchange forward
contracts and option contracts to hedge some of its foreign exchange exposure.
The Company's objective in managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency
exchange is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign
exchange rate changes to allow management to focus its attention on its core
business issues and challenges. The Company uses such contracts to hedge
exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in Western
Europe, associated with purchases denominated in foreign currency. The principal


                                       17
<PAGE>

currencies hedged are the Italian lira, German mark, British pound, and the
French franc. A uniform 10% weakening as of January 31, 1999 in the value of the
dollar relative to the currencies in which the purchases are denominated would
have resulted in a $7.7 million decrease in gross profit for fiscal year-ended
January 29, 2000. Comparatively, the result of a uniform 10% weakening as of
August 1, 1998 in the value of the dollar relative to the currencies in which
the purchases are denominated would have resulted in a $3.8 million decrease in
gross profit for the twenty-six week period ending January 30, 1999.

           This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the
same direction relative to the United States dollar. In addition to the direct
effects in exchange rates, which are a changed dollar value of the resulting
purchases, changes in exchange rates also affect the volume of purchases or the
foreign currency purchase price as competitor's prices become more or less
attractive.

INTEREST RATE RISK

           The Company's earnings are affected by changes in short-term interest
rates as a result of its revolving credit agreement. If short-term interest
rates averaged 2% more in the fiscal year 1999, the Company's interest expense
would have increased, and income before taxes would decrease by $2.1 million.
Comparatively, if short-term interest rates averaged 2% more in the Fall 1998
Stub Period 1998, the Company's interest expense would have increased, and loss
before taxes would have increased by $0.8 million. In the event of a change of
such magnitude, management would likely take actions to mitigate its exposure to
the change. However, due to uncertainty of the specific actions that would be
taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in
the Company's financial structure.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

           To be filed by amendment.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
