              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
   September 30, 1999 and the condensed consolidated statements of earnings
   and cash flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 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 September 30, 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.


3. The Company's schedule of Net Comprehensive Income are as follows (in
   thousands):

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                      FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

                                  OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased during the three-month period
ended September 30, 1999 to $374,000 from $1,051,000 at June 30, 1999.  Net cash
was used for operating activities mostly to pay down accounts payable and other
current liabilities of $1,502,000 and an increase in inventories of $246,000,
offset in part by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets
totaling $462,000.  In addition, net cash totaling $180,000 was used for
financing activities to pay bank borrowing.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

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 $15,472,000 during the three-month period ended September 30,
1999 compared to $15,645,000 in the three-month period ended September 30, 1998.
The decrease in sales was primarily due to the elimination of three divisions
(in fiscal 1999) which had limited growth potential, offset, in part, by sales
from the newly acquired women's apparel company that targets its sales to
customers selling through catalogues and over the internet, as well as increased
sales of licensed handbags.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

The gross profit percentage was slightly higher at 27.4% this quarter as
compared to 27.3% in last year's same quarter due to higher margins primarily in
the children's division.

Shipping, selling and administrative expenses decreased both in dollar terms and
as a percentage of net sales, mainly due to lower volume related expenses.

Interest expense of $38,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compares with
$1,000 in the prior comparable period as a result of higher bank borrowing used
to fund much higher levels of raw materials and work in process inventory this
period versus last year's same period in order to provide for the current
increased backlog of customer orders. Other income was lower by $12,000 in the
first quarter of the current fiscal year compared to the fiscal 1999 first
quarter due to the utilization of investment funds for current working capital
needs.

Earnings before income taxes this three-month period as compared to the
equivalent period of fiscal 1998 were slightly higher due primarily to lower
shipping, selling and administrative expenses.  Net earnings for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 of $88,000 compared to net earnings for the same period
last year of $83,000.



YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Last year, the Company  completed its assessment of the changes that are needed
to make its critical and other data processing systems Year 2000 compliant.
These changes included a combination of software modifications,

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

upgrades and hardware changes. The Company has substantially completed the
conversion of all mission critical data processing systems and will continue to
test its systems through the end of 1999 in order to minimize the risks
associated with Year 2000 systems changes.

Existing data processing personnel are being utilized to implement Year 2000
changes.  To date, total incremental costs incurred have been approximately
$25,000, with total aggregate costs to become Year 2000 compliant not expected
to exceed this amount.

Most of the Company's major customers have already indicated that they are or
will be Year 2000 compliant by the end of calendar year 1999.  The Company is
not computer interdependent with its significant suppliers and, accordingly,
does not believe that the failure of suppliers to be Year 2000 compliant will
pose any significant risk to the Company's business operation.  In any event,
the Company presently has and expects it will have alternative sources of supply
if existing vendors are unable to supply the Company if they are not Year 2000
compliant.

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 future costs of Year 2000 compliance, success of
testing, successful completion by third parties with their respective Year 2000
compliance programs, and similar uncertainties.
