              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
           December 31, 1999 and the condensed consolidated statements of
           operations or the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1999
           and 1998, and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for
           the six month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, have been
           prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
           for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include
           all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
           accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
           opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
           recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
           been included. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated
           financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited
           financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1999
           Annual Report to Stockholders. The results of operations for the
           period ended December 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of
           operating results for the full fiscal year.

2.         In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
           133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
           This statement, which is effective for the Company for the year
           ending June 30, 2001, establishes accounting and reporting standards
           for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company has
           not yet determined whether the application of SFAS No. 133 will have
           a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                       FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

                                   OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased during the six-month period
ended December 31, 1999 to $1,352,000 from $1,051,000 at June 30, 1999. Net cash
was provided by operating activities, primarily from a decrease in accounts
receivable of $2,904,000, as well as a decrease in inventories of $450,000 and a
decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets totaling $349,000. Funds
were used for operating activities mostly to pay down accounts payable and other
current liabilities of $1,993,000. In addition, funds totaling $1,680,000 were
used for financing activities to reduce bank borrowing.

During fiscal 1999, the Company completed the renewal of a $23,000,000 line of
credit with a bank for short-term loans, letters of credit and banker's
acceptances which extends through June 30, 2000. Changes from the previous bank
line of credit include, among other things, an increase in loan availability
from $10,000,000 to $13,000,000 with the Company's inventory and accounts
receivable pledged to the bank as collateral, a minimum quick ratio requirement
of 1 to 1, and the maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth of $14,000,000.

The Company believes that funds provided by operations, existing working capital
and the Company's current bank line of credit will be sufficient to meet
foreseeable working capital needs. There are no plans for significant capital
expenditures in the near term.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales were $18,514,000 and $33,987,000 during the three and six-month
periods ended December 31, 1999 compared to $13,134,000 and $28,779,000 in the
three and six-month periods ended December 31, 1998, respectively. The increase
in sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 was primarily due to net sales
from the Company's new women's apparel company that sells to customers who
distribute through catalogues and over the internet, offset by a decrease in net
sales due to the closing in fiscal 1999 of three divisions with limited growth
potential (all as previously disclosed). In addition, the Company's women's
sleepwear division, the moderate priced handbag and backpack division and
higher priced handbag division all experienced an improvement in sales. Gross
profit improved to 25.1% for the three-month period ended December 31, 1999
compared to 22.4% in the prior year comparable period, mostly due to much better
moderate priced handbag and backpack division gross profit, as well as higher
gross profit for the Company's premium and women's sleepwear business. For the
six month period, net sales were higher mainly due to the addition of the new
women's apparel catalogue division, discussed above, as well as increased volume
for the Company's moderate priced handbag and backpack division and its higher
priced handbag division. The gross profit of 26.1% for the six-month period
ended December 31, 1999 exceeded the 25.1% gross profit achieved in the prior
year's six-month period, resulting mostly from improved premium division and
moderate priced handbag and backpack division gross profit.

Shipping, selling and administrative expenses increased mainly due to higher
volume related expenses in the second quarter and six-month period ended
December 31, 1999, versus last year. As a percentage of net sales, however,
shipping, selling and administrative expenses for the three-month period
decreased by 4.0%, from 28.0 % to 24.0 %, and for the six-month period decreased
by 2.5 %, to 25.1 %, from last year's six-month comparable period, in each case,
due to the relatively lower level of fixed costs compared to higher net sales.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

Interest expense was greater by $79,000 and $117,000 in the second quarter and
first six months of fiscal 2000 versus the same fiscal 1999 periods,
respectively, resulting from a higher average level of borrowing under the
Company's line of credit used to finance the increased volume of business in the
current fiscal year to date periods.

Interest income was lower by $19,000 and $32,000 in the second quarter and first
half of the current fiscal year, respectively, compared to the fiscal 1999
comparable periods due to the utilization of investment funds for current
working capital needs.

Earnings before income taxes improved in the three-month and six-month periods,
as compared to losses before taxes in the equivalent periods of fiscal 1999,
mainly due to the increase in sales and gross profit which was not entirely
offset by higher shipping, selling and administrative expenses and interest
expense. Net earnings for the quarter and six month periods ended December 31,
1999 were $102,000 and $189,000, respectively, compared to net losses for the
same periods last year of $434,000 and $351,000.




YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Last year, the Company successfully completed its systems conversion in order to
make its critical and other data processing systems Year 2000 compliant. These
changes included a combination of software modifications, upgrades and hardware
changes. The Company does not anticipate additional expenditures for Year 2000
compliance matters.

In addition, the Company has been advised that its major customers are Year 2000
compliant and the Company has experienced no interruptions in conducting its
business with those customers. Further, while the Company is not computer
interdependent with its significant suppliers, there were no indications of any
Year 2000 compliance failures by suppliers that has or would impact the Company.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

The foregoing constitute forward looking statements based upon management's best
estimates concerning future events. Actual results could differ as a result of a
number of factors, including any possible future Year 2000 compliance issues,
successful completion by third parties with their respective Year 2000
compliance programs, and similar uncertainties.
