                          JD AMERICAN WORKWEAR, INC.
                         Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 - The Company
--------------------

      The Company was incorporated in Rhode Island in 1991 under the name Jaque
Dubois, Inc. and was re-incorporated in Delaware in 1994. In July 1995, the
Company's name was changed to JD American Workwear, Inc. The Company is
primarily engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing and
selling commercial and industrial workwear products

      Substantial losses have been incurred since inception and additional
future losses are anticipated as the Company continues to expand operations and
establish itself in the market. Management believes that additional capital
will be required to sustain operations through February 28, 1998. The Company
anticipates meeting its future cash requirements through the sale of products
and obtaining additional financing. There can be no assurance that sufficient
cash can be generated from operations or financing activities or that the
Company will be able to operate profitably in the future.


Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
------------------------------

      The interim financial statements are prepared pursuant to the
requirements for reporting on Form 10-QSB. The February 28, 1997 balance sheet
data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The interim
financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information
reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments)
that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the
Company's financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial
position for the interim periods.

      The accompanying financial statements do not contain all of the
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in
the Company s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended February
28, 1997. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this
report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal
year ending February 28, 1998.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.  Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
         Results of Operations

Results of Operations

      Three Months Ended August 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended August
31, 1996. Net sales for the three month period ended August 31, 1997 increased
approximately 31% to $191,834 from $142,063 for the three months ended August
31, 1996. The increase is directly attributable to an increase in unit volume.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended August 31, 1997 was $106,276
compared to $75,438 for the three months ended August 31, 1996. Gross margin
for the three months ended August 31, 1997 was 43.1% compared to a 46.9% for
the three months ended August 31, 1996.

      Selling, general and administrative ( SG&A ) expenses increased 22.8% to
$226,796 for the three months ended August 31, 1997 from $184,650 for three
months ended August 31, 1996. A significant portion of the increase was
incurred in connection with options and warrants issued to consultants for
services. Interest expense increased to $50,128 from $ 28,658 due to an
increase in short term borrowings.

      The net loss for the three months ended August 31, 1997 was $191,257 or
$0.11 per share compared to a net loss of $143,288or $0.09 per share for the
three months ended August 31, 1996.

      Six Months Ended August 31, 1997 Compared to Six Months Ended August 31,
1996. Net sales for the six month period ended August 31, 1997 increased
approximately 38% to $312,160 from $225,259 for the six months ended August 31,
1996. The increase is directly attributable to an increase in unit volume. Cost
of goods sold for the six months ended August 31, 1997 was $177,295 compared to
$118,625 for the six months ended August 31, 1996. Gross margin for the six
months ended August 31, 1997 was 43.5% compared to a 47.3% for the six months
ended August 31, 1996.

      Selling, general and administrative ( SG&A ) expenses increased
approximately 10% to $467,598 for the six months ended August 31, 1997 from
$416,144 for six months ended August 31, 1996. A significant portion of the
increase was incurred in connection with options and warrants issued to
consultants for services. Interest expense increased to $77,434 from $ 65,003
due to an increase in short term borrowings.

      The net loss for the six months ended August 31, 1997 was $410,749 or
$0.23 per share compared to a net loss of $363,975 or $0.22 per share for the
six months ended August 31, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Net cash used in operating activities was $(240,194) for the six months
ended August 31, 1997 compared to $(879,217) for the six months ended August
31, 1996.  The Company used resources to continue to build finished
goods inventory in anticipation of its prime selling season. Cash flow from the
exercise of stock options and short term borrowings were used to produce
inventory and was offset partially by increases in accounts payable. Accounts
receivable increased approximately 43% to $318,120 from February 28 to August
31, 1997. Inventory increased to $914,824 during the first half of fiscal 1998.

      Capital expenditures for the six months ended August 31, 1997 were
$(7,289) compared to $(24,521) for the six months ended August 31, 1996.

      The Company will be required to seek additional financing to meet its
business strategy of achieving significant market penetration of its JD Uniform
Safety Pants. Also, additional capital may be required if adequate levels of
revenue are not realized, if higher than anticipated costs are incurred in the
expansion of the Company's manufacturing and marketing activities, or if
product demand exceeds expected levels. There can be no assurance that any
additional financing thereby necessitated will be available on acceptable terms
to the Company, if at all.
