                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To St. John Knits International, Incorporated:

  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ST. JOHN KNITS
INTERNATIONAL, INCORPORATED (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of
October 31, 1999 and November 1, 1998, and the related consolidated statements
of income, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended October 31, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
St. John Knits International, Incorporated and subsidiaries as of October 31,
1999 and November 1, 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 1999 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

  Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index to
consolidated financial statements is presented for purposes of complying with
the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic
financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                  ST. JOHN KNITS INTERNATIONAL, INCORPORATED

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

            October 31, 1999, November 1, 1998 and November 2, 1997

1.  Company Background and Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of St. John
Knits International, Incorporated ("SJKI"), a Delaware corporation, and its
subsidiaries, including St. John Knits, Inc. ("St. John"). SJKI and its
subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as "the Company." All
interdivisional and intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated
in consolidation. The Company is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer
of women's clothing and accessories. The Company's products are distributed
primarily through specialty retailers and the Company's own retail boutiques and
outlets.

     On February 2, 1999, St. John entered into a merger agreement to be
acquired by a group consisting of Vestar Capital Partners III, L.P. (Vestar) and
Bob Gray, Marie Gray and Kelly Gray at an offer price of $30 per share. Pursuant
to the agreement, on July 7, 1999, the Company consummated two mergers. As a
result of the mergers, St. John became a wholly owned subsidiary of SJKI. The
mergers were accounted for as a recapitalization. The operating results for all
periods prior to the mergers consist entirely of the historical results of St.
John and its subsidiaries.

     During fiscal 1997, the Company formed St. John Company, Ltd. in Japan to
operate as a 51 percent owned subsidiary to distribute the Company's products in
Japan. During fiscal 1998, the Company increased its ownership percentage to 68
percent.  During fiscal 1997, the Company also formed Amen Wardy Home Stores,
LLC, a 51 percent owned limited liability company. During fiscal 1999 the
Company changed the name of this subsidiary to St. John Home Stores, LLC and now
owns 100 percent of this entity.  St. John Home operates two home furnishing
stores and one outlet store.  The operations of both entities are included in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


2.  Summary of Accounting Policies

    a. Definition of Fiscal Year

     The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year whereby the fiscal year ends
on the Sunday nearest to October 31. Accordingly, fiscal years 1999, 1998 and
1997 ended on October 31, November 1 and November 2, respectively. Fiscal years
1999, 1998 and 1997 were comprised of 52 weeks.


    b. Use of Estimates

     The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.


    c. Revenue Recognition

     Revenue on sales to specialty retailers is recognized when the goods are
shipped. The Company establishes liabilities for estimated returns and
allowances at the time of shipment. The Company also provides for estimated
discounts when recording sales. Retail sales are recognized at the point of
sale. The Company establishes liabilities for estimated returns at the retail
stores. Accounts receivable are shown net of allowances for discounts and
uncollectible amounts of $2,270,000 and $1,205,000 in fiscal year 1999, and
$2,488,000 and $951,000 in fiscal year 1998, respectively.

                                                                                             $43,521,734        $47,748,286

</TABLE>

    e. Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides for
depreciation using the straight-line method to provide for the retirement of
property and equipment at the end of their estimated useful lives, which range
from three to thirty-nine years.


    f. Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include all liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less.


    g. Foreign Exchange Transactions and Contracts

     The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts as a hedge against
exchange rate risk on the collection of certain accounts receivable denominated
in a foreign currency. The Company enters into contracts to sell foreign
currencies in the future only to protect the U.S. dollar value of certain
anticipated foreign currency transactions. The forward contracts are carried on
the balance sheet at their fair value with changes in their fair value initially
included in a separate component of stockholders' equity until the anticipated
transaction occurs. Such gains and losses then offset the related gains and
losses reported on the underlying transaction (Note 4).


    h. Income Taxes

     The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes."


    i. Earnings per Share

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" during fiscal 1998.
Under the new requirement, primary earnings per share was replaced with basic
earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share excludes the dilutive effect of
common stock equivalents, including stock options.  Diluted earnings per share,
which replaced fully diluted earnings per share, includes all dilutive items.
Dilution is calculated based upon the treasury stock method, which assumes that
all dilutive securities were exercised and that the proceeds received were
applied to repurchase outstanding shares at the average market price during the
period.

     As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 128, primary earnings per share for
fiscal 1997 was restated from $2.01 to $2.07 to reflect the change to basic
earnings per share. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share,
as shown on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income, is due to the
dilutive effect of stock options outstanding.

    j. Foreign Currency Translation

     The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries
from the local (functional) currencies to U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS
No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation". Substantially all assets and liabilities
of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated at year-end exchange rates,
while revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing
during the year. Adjustments for foreign currency translation fluctuations are
excluded from net income and are included as a separate component of
consolidated stockholders' equity.


    k. Advertising and Promotion

     All costs associated with advertising and promotion of the Company's
products are expensed as incurred.


    l. Investments

     The Company's investments are categorized as available-for-sale securities,
as defined by SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities." Unrealized holding gains and losses are reflected as a net
amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. For the
purpose of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific
identification basis.


   m. Comprehensive Income

     The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
during the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This statement requires that all items
that meet the definition of components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement for the period in which they are recognized. Components of
comprehensive income include revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under
generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income
but excluded from net income.

Enterprise and Related Information", effective in fiscal 1999.  SFAS No. 131
established new standards for reporting information about business segments and
related disclosures about products, geographic areas and major customers.  The
business segments of the Company are wholesale and retail sales.  Information on
segment reporting is included at Note 14.

    o. New Accounting Pronouncements

     In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
Activities". The Company will be required to adopt this standard in fiscal 2000.
The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

3.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The following methods and assumptions were used by management to estimate
the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable
to estimate:

     Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of
the fair value.

     Investments - Investments consist primarily of municipal bonds with
maturity dates of less than six months and common stock, which are classified as
available-for-sale and reported at fair value.

     Senior Credit Facility - The term debt related to the senior credit
facility approximates the market value as the interest rate on the debt is
variable and similar to what is currently available.

     12.5% Senior Notes due 2009 - This issue was publicly traded (on a limited
basis) at October 31, 1999.  Therefore, the fair value of this issue is based on
its quoted market price at that date.

     Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock - Based on current market
conditions, the fair value of this item approximates book value at October 31,
1999.

     Foreign Currency Contracts - The fair value of foreign currency contracts
(used for hedging purposes) is estimated based on current market prices.

     Interest Rate Collar - The fair value of this instrument is based upon the
present value of the estimated future cash flows.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

    4.  Hedging Activities

     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and has
designated certain financial instruments as cash flow hedges which must be
reported in accordance with SFAS No. 133.  The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not
have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

     It is the Company's policy to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates associated with its sale of goods denominated in a
foreign currency by entering into forward contracts. The Company enters into
contracts to sell foreign currencies in the future only to protect the U.S.
dollar value of certain anticipated foreign currency transactions. The forward
contracts are carried on the balance sheet at their fair value with changes in
their fair value initially included in a separate component of stockholders'
equity until the anticipated transaction occurs. Such gains and losses then
offset the related gains and losses reported on the underlying transaction. The
total net gain recorded during fiscal years 1999 and 1998 was $168,000 and
$321,000, respectively.

     The Company holds various foreign exchange contracts. At October 31, 1999,
the Company had contracts maturing through February 29, 2000 to sell 2.2 million
Euros and 280,000 British pounds at rates ranging from 1.05 to 1.06 U.S. dollars
to the Euro and 1.57 to 1.67 U.S. dollars to the British pound. The Company also
held a contract which matures on November 30, 1999 to sell 700,000 deutsche
marks at a rate of 1.66 deutsche marks to the U.S. dollar. At November 1, 1998,
the Company had contracts maturing through May 28, 1999 to sell 5.4 million
deutsche marks and 365,000 British pounds at rates ranging from 1.71 to 1.77
deutsche marks to the U.S. dollar and 1.63 to 1.64 U.S. dollars to the British
pound. At October 31, 1999 and November 1, 1998 the fair value of these foreign
currency contracts has not been recorded as a component of stockholders' equity
as the amounts are not material.

     The Company is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest
rates on its variable rate debt which consists of bank borrowings related to the
mergers.  The Company has entered into an interest rate collar agreement with a
major financial institution to limit its exposure on $45 million of the
Company's variable rate debt and establishes a LIBOR cap at 8.50% and a LIBOR
floor at 5.37%.  The agreement became effective on October 4, 1999 and will
expire on July 7, 2002.

     The fair value of the interest rate collar agreement is included on the
balance sheet and the ineffective portion is included currently in interest
expense.


5.  Accrued Expenses

     Accrued expenses for fiscal years 1999 and 1998 are comprised of the
following:

$3,110,000 for fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and were based on
actual claims and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. The current
liability for health benefits is included in accrued expenses on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company maintains excess insurance
coverage on an individual and an aggregate basis.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

            October 31, 1999, November 1, 1998 and November 2, 1997

     The Company maintains a qualified profit-sharing plan for the benefit of
all eligible employees. This plan contemplates the sharing of profits annually
at the discretion of the Board of Directors and is funded by cash contributions.
The contribution to this plan was $500,000, in each of the fiscal years 1999,
1998 and 1997.

     Prior to the mergers, the Company had one stock option plan, the 1993 St.
John Knits, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan"). During fiscal 1999 the
Company terminated the 1993 Plan and adopted the 1999 St. John Knits
International, Incorporated Stock Option Plan (the "1999 Plan"). Options granted
under the 1999 Plan may be either incentive or nonstatutory stock options. The
Company accounts for the plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", under which no compensation cost has
been recognized for fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997.

     SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was issued in 1995
and, if fully adopted, changes the methods for recognition of cost on plans
similar to that of the Company. Adoption of SFAS No. 123 is optional for
employee stock option grants, however pro forma disclosure as if the Company had
adopted the cost recognition method is required. Had compensation cost for stock
options awarded under the 1999 Plan or 1993 Plan been determined to be
consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share
would have reflected the following pro forma amounts:

     The Company may grant up to 727,360 options under the 1999 Plan. The
Company has granted 498,519 options as of October 31, 1999 under the 1999 Plan.
Stock options are issued at the approximate fair market value. Options generally
vest over three to five years; are exercisable in whole or in installments; and
expire ten years from date of grant.

the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions used for the
grants in fiscal years 1999 and 1998:  weighted average risk-free interest rate
of 6.09% and 5.55%; weighted average volatility of 33.73% and 27.53%; expected
life of 6 years; and weighted average dividend yield of 0.00% and 0.26%.
Options granted in 1999 and 1998 have a weighted average contractual life of
9.75 and 9.61 years, respectively.

Senior Credit Facilities

     Concurrent with the consummation of the mergers, the Company entered into a
Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lending institutions (the "Lenders"), which
agreement provides for an aggregate principal amount of loans of up to $215.0
million.  Loans under the Credit Agreement consist of $190.0 million in
aggregate principal amount of term loans ("Term Loan Facility"), which facility
includes a $75.0 million tranche A term loan subfacility, a $115.0 million
tranche B term loan subfacility, and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility
("Revolving Credit Facility").  The Credit Agreement includes a subfacility for
swingline borrowings and a sublimit for letters of credit.  The Company's
obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in
substantially all of the Company's assets.  The Company used proceeds from the
Term Loan to provide a portion of the funding necessary to consummate the
mergers.  There were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at
October 31, 1999.

            October 31, 1999, November 1, 1998 and November 2, 1997



     The tranche B term loan facility matures on July 31, 2007.  The tranche A
term loan facility and the Revolving Credit Facility mature on July 31, 2005.
The Term Loan facility is subject to repayment according to quarterly
amortization of principal based upon the Scheduled Amortization (as defined in
the Credit Agreement).  The Company may prepay the term loan facility.

     Indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility
initially bears interest at a rate based (at the Company's option) upon (i)
LIBOR for one, two, three or six months, plus 3.00% with respect to the tranche
A term loan facility and the Revolving Credit Facility or plus 3.50% with
respect to the tranche B term loan facility, or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate
(8.25% at October 31, 1999) plus 2.00% with respect to the tranche A term loan
facility and the Revolving Credit Facility or plus 2.50% with respect to the
tranche B term loan facility; provided that, the interest rates for the
Revolving Credit Facility and tranche A and B term loans are subject to several
point reductions in the event the Company meets certain performance targets
beginning of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

     Interest rates at October 31, 1999 were approximately 8.9% and 9.4% on
tranche A and tranche B term loans, respectively.  Effective October 4, 1999,
the Company entered into an interest rate collar agreement with a major
financial institution.  The agreement limits the Company's exposure on a portion
of the term loans by placing a cap on the rate for LIBOR contracts at 8.5%.  The
contract also sets a minimum rate of 5.37%.  The contract covers $45 million of
the term debt and will expire on July 7, 2002.

     The Company is required to pay to the Lenders in the aggregate a commitment
fee equal to 0.5% per annum on the undrawn amount of the Revolving Credit
Facility during the preceding quarter.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Revolving Credit Facility,
the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios and minimum levels
of tangible net worth and working capital as well as to achieve certain levels
of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition,
the Company is restricted from entering into certain transactions or making
certain payments and dividend distributions without the prior consent of the
lenders.

Senior Subordinated Notes

     In connection with the Mergers, the Company obtained financing through the
issuance of $100 million in senior subordinated debt ("Subordinated Notes").
The Subordinated Notes bear interest at a rate of 12.5% per year and were issued
at 98.616% of the actual face value.  The Subordinated Notes will mature on July
1, 2009.  Interest on the Subordinated Notes is payable in cash semi-annually on
January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2000.  The
Subordinated Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the
Company, at any time on or after July 1, 2004, at the redemption prices set
forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidation damages, if any,
to the date of redemption.

                        2008 and thereafter...........             100.000%
</TABLE>

     In addition, at any time on or before July 1, 2002, the Company may redeem
up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes
with the net proceeds of an Initial Public Equity offering at a redemption price
equal to 112.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the date of redemption (subject  to
the  right of  holders  of  record  on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant  interest  payment date);  provided,  however, that
at least 65% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount of the notes
must remain  outstanding  immediately after giving effect to each such
redemption  (excluding any notes held by SJKI or any of its affiliates).  Notice
of any such  redemption  must be given within 60 days after the date of the
closing of the relevant public equity offering of SJKI.   These notes are
subordinated to the Senior Credit Facility as discussed above.

     Fees associated with obtaining the Subordinated Notes and the tranche A and
tranche B term loans were $15.2 million, which are amortized over the terms of
the respective notes using the effective interest rate method. Amortization
expense of approximately $612,000 relating to such fees is included in interest
expense for the year ended October 31, 1999.

declared by the board of directors of SJKI, out of funds legally available
therefor, dividends on the Preferred Stock, at an annual rate equal to 15.25%,
provided that if dividends are not paid on a dividend payment date, dividends
shall continue to accrue on unpaid dividends.

     The Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time on or after July 1, 2004,
in whole or in part, at the option of SJKI, at the redemption prices (expressed
in percentages of liquidation value) set forth below together with all
accumulated dividends to the date of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month
period beginning on July 1 of the years indicated.

     The  Preferred  Stock will also be redeemable in whole or in part, at the
option of SJKI at any time  before  July 1, 2004,  at a  redemption  price equal
to the greater of (i) 100% of the liquidation value of the Preferred Stock and
(ii) the present  values  of the  liquidation  value at the  mandatory
redemption  date, discounted  on a semi-annual  basis at the Treasury  Yield
plus 15 basis points. The "Treasury  Yield" means, with respect to any
redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the  semi-annual  equivalent  yield
to maturity  for a comparable treasury issue.

     In addition, at any time and from time to time on or prior to July 1, 2002,
SJKI may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the originally issued liquidation
value of the  Preferred  Stock with the net cash proceeds of one or more Public
Equity Offerings (as defined in the  indenture)  by SJKI at a redemption  price
in cash equal to 115.25% of the liquidation  value thereof,

plus accumulated  dividends thereon, if any, to the date of redemption;
provided, however, that at least 65% of the originally issued aggregate
liquidation value of the Preferred Stock must remain  outstanding  immediately
after  giving  effect to each such  redemption (excluding any Preferred Stock
held by SJKI or any of its affiliates). Notice of any such  redemption  must be
given within 60 days after the date of the closing of the relevant  public
equity offering of SJKI. The Preferred Stock may only be redeemed  if  permitted
under the terms of the senior  credit  facilities,  the indenture and other
contractual arrangements of SJKI.

     On July 1, 2010, SJKI will be required to redeem  (subject to contractual
and other restrictions with respect thereto and to the legal availability of
funds therefor) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at a price equal to
the liquidation value thereof plus all accumulated dividends to the date of
redemption.  Accordingly,  the carrying value of such stock has been  classified
outside of shareholders' equity.

     SJKI may, at its option, exchange all but not less than all of the shares
of then outstanding Preferred Stock for debentures of SJKI in a principal amount
equal to the liquidation value of the Preferred Stock plus accumulated
dividends. The exchange debentures will bear interest at 15.25% per annum, have
a final stated maturity of July 1, 2010, have optional redemption provisions
comparable to the Preferred Stock and will have customary covenants and events
of default. SJKI may not cause the exchange of Preferred Stock for debentures
unless permitted under the terms of the senior credit facilities, the indenture
and other contractual arrangements of SJKI.

11.  Related-Party Transactions

     The Company entered into a management agreement with Vestar. Pursuant to
the management agreement, the Company paid to Vestar a transaction fee of $4.0
million at the closing of the mergers. The Company will also pay an annual fee
of $500,000 to Vestar for management services.

     The Company leases its corporate headquarters/manufacturing facility and
one other manufacturing facility from partnerships in which a shareholder of the
Company is a significant partner. The annual payments on these leases were
approximately $1,014,000, $975,000 and $884,000 in fiscal years 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The leases expire at various dates during fiscal year 2001
and are included in the future minimum rental payments disclosure (Note 8).

     The Company periodically rents personal property provided by a company that
is owned by a shareholder. Rental payments for the use of such equipment were
approximately $8,000, $21,000 and $30,000 in fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

     At October 31, 1999 and November 1, 1998, the Company held a 50 percent
ownership interest in a partnership which leases transportation equipment to the
Company. The holder of the other 50 percent ownership interest is a corporation
which is wholly-owned by one of the Company's stockholders.   At October 31,
1999 and November 1, 1998, the Company's investment in this partnership, net of
partnership losses, was approximately $496,000 and $854,000, respectively, and
is included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
During fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company made lease payments to the
partnership of $1,038,000, $868,000 and $840,000, respectively. During the same
years, the Company reported net losses from the activities of the partnership of
$231,000, $331,000 and $351,000, respectively.

12.  Current Vulnerability Due to Certain Concentrations

     A substantial portion of the Company's sales are made to three major
customers. These three customers accounted for 15, 13 and 13 percent of net
sales during fiscal 1999, 17, 14 and 14 percent of net sales during fiscal 1998
and 17, 15 and 15 percent during fiscal 1997. The loss of any one of these
customers could have a materially adverse affect on the Company's business.

     The Company sells primarily to specialty apparel retailers; thus, the risk
of collection losses is concentrated in this industry. Management believes that
the Company's credit and collection policies are adequate to prevent significant
collection losses and that the allowance for uncollectible accounts is adequate
at October 31, 1999 and November 1, 1998.

13.  Litigation

Securities Fraud Class Action

     On January 23, 2000 the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle
a case filed in 1998 by Binary Traders, Inc. for $5 million, an amount the
company's insurance carrier has agreed to pay.  On October 13, 1998, Binary
Traders, Inc. had filed a complaint on behalf of purchasers of publicly traded
securities of St. John during the period of February 25, 1998 to August 20, 1998
(the "Class Period") against St. John, Bob Gray, and Kelly Gray in the United
States District Court, Central District of California, Southern Division (Binary
Traders, Inc. v. St. John Knits, Inc. et al.).  The complaint, which sought
class action certification, alleged that the defendants violated federal
securities laws by allegedly making fraudulent statements during the Class
Period and sought an unspecified amount of compensatory damages.  The settlement
is subject to court approval, which is expected to occur in the spring.

Litigation Regarding the Transactions

     The Company is also a party to six lawsuits that allege claims against some
of St. John's current and former directors for breach of fiduciary duty alleged
to have arisen in connection with the mergers. All of these lawsuits were filed
in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Orange. The
principal relief sought in the six actions is certification of the putative
class and a rescission of the mergers, damages, and attorneys' fees in an
unspecified amount. These six lawsuits were consolidated into one action on
February 24, 1999.

     On April 15, 1999, the plaintiffs in this lawsuit filed a motion for a
preliminary injunction seeking to prevent the mergers from proceeding. The
preliminary injunction motion was heard by the California state court on April
28, 1999. On April 30, 1999, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion. In denying
the plaintiffs' request, the court ruled that the plaintiffs had not shown a
"reasonable probability" that they could succeed in proving at trial that the
$30.00 per share offer in the mergers is unfair.  Similarly, the court ruled
that the plaintiffs were unlikely to show that the special committee of St.
John's board of directors that evaluated and approved the terms of the mergers
on behalf of St. John lacked independence or failed to "shop" St. John
adequately to other buyers.

     While declining to grant the preliminary injunction, the court imposed a
constructive trust which prevents the Grays from receiving in the mergers any
amount for their St. John shares in excess of $30.00 per share until a full
trial on the merits is held. Prior to the determination of the final terms of
the stock options to be granted to the Grays after the mergers, the plaintiffs
had argued that these options represent additional consideration for the Grays'
St. John shares. It is the Company's belief that these employee stock options
represent incentive compensation for the Grays' services as officers of St. John
Knits International after the mergers and are not additional consideration for
their St. John shares.

     The court also imposed a constructive trust preventing two of St. John's
former directors from exercising options that were repriced by the board of
directors in September 1998 until a full trial on the merits is held. It is the
Company's belief that the September 1998 option repricing was not improper. The
repricing was consistent with the repricing of options held by key employees of
St. John, excluding the Grays.

     In imposing the constructive trusts, the court indicated that the
plaintiffs had shown "reasonable probability" that they could succeed at trial
in proving that the former St. John directors breached their fiduciary duties
with respect to the repricing of the director options and the alleged
preferential treatment of the Grays to the extent that the Grays receive a
higher price for their shares than the public shareholders in the mergers.

     On January 20, 2000, the court issued a ruling denying summary judgment
motions brought by both the plaintiffs and the defendants, with the exception of
granting plaintiffs' motion to strike defendants' affirmative defense of
ratification and also with the exception of granting the defendants' motion to
dismiss plaintiffs' claim for unjust enrichment.  Virtually all of the fact
discovery has been completed and the court has set a May 8, 2000 trial date.

            October 31, 1999, November 1, 1998 and November 2, 1997

     On September 9, 1999, three of the plaintiffs filed another lawsuit in the
Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, naming SJKI, Pearl
Acquisition Corp., Vestar/Gray Investors LLC, SJK Acquisition, Inc., Vestar
Capital Partners III, L.P., Vestar Capital Partners and Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith, Inc.  The plaintiffs claim that each of the defendants aided and
abetted the breach of fiduciary duties alleged in their earlier actions against
St. John, Bob Gray and Kelly Gray.  Since the claims in this litigation are
based exclusively on secondary liability and are completely contingent upon the
success of the claims in the earlier action, on November 16, 1999, at the
request of several defendants, the court stayed all proceedings in this
litigation pending the outcome of the earlier action.

     The company intends to contest these lawsuits vigorously if the plaintiffs
elect to proceed with their actions. The company expects to incur legal and
other defense costs as a result of such proceedings in an amount which it can
not currently estimate.  These proceedings could involve a substantial diversion
of the time of some of the members of management, and an adverse determination
in, or settlement of, such litigation could involve payment of significant
amounts, which could have an adverse impact on the company's business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company does not believe it
is not a party to any other litigation which is individually or in the aggregate
material to its business.

Amen Wardy Home Stores Litigation

     In May 1999, the Company settled litigation relating to the Amen Wardy Home
Stores joint venture. In connection with this settlement, the Company
transferred ownership of the Las Vegas home furnishing store and the Amen Wardy
name to its former partner in the joint venture.  The Company also transferred
certain property and agreed to pay certain expenses in connection with the
settlement.

14. Segment Information

     The Company has two reportable business segments, wholesale and retail
sales.  The Company's wholesale sales business consists primarily of six
divisions, Knitwear, Sport, Shoes, Accessories, Griffith & Gray and Fragrance.
Retail sales are generated through the Company's 19  St. John boutiques, 10 St.
John outlet stores, two St. John Home stores and one St. John Home outlet store.
Management evaluates segment performance based primarily on revenue and earnings
from operations.

     Segment information is summarized as follows for fiscal years 1999, 1998
and 1997 (in 000's):

15. Supplemental Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

     The Company's payment obligations under the Senior Subordinated Notes are
guaranteed by certain of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries (the Guarantor
Subsidiaries). Such guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several.
Except as may be required under applicable law, there are no restrictions on the
transfer of funds or assets from the Guarantor Subsidiaries to SJKI.  Separate
financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because the
Company's management has determined that they would not be material to
investors. The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on an
unconsolidated basis, balance sheet, statement of operations, and statement of
cash flows information for the Parent Company (consisting of St. John Knits
International, Incorporated and St. John Knits, Inc.), for the Guarantor
Subsidiaries and for the Company's other subsidiaries (the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries). The supplemental financial information reflects the investments
of the Parent Company in the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries using the
equity method of accounting. The supplemental financial information is presented
for the periods as of October 31, 1999 and November 1, 1998, and for the years
ended  October 31, 1999 and November 1, 1998.  Supplemental financial
information has not been presented as of November 2, 1997 as the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries are inconsequential and, accordingly, the historical consolidated
financial statements for this period represents, in substance, the combined
financial information for the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
