                         JACLYN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
        September 30, 2000 and the condensed consolidated statements of earnings
        and cash flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 2000 and
        1999 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
        generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial
        information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
        footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
        United States of America 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 2000 Annual Report to
        Stockholders. The results of operations for the period ended September
        30, 2000 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 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
        derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company has no
        derivative instruments and as such has determined that the application
        of SFAS No. 133 does not have a material impact on its financial
        position or results of operations.

3.      In November 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101,
        "Revenue Recognition". This Bulletin sets forth the SEC Staff's position
        regarding the point at which it is appropriate to recognize revenue. The
        Staff believes that revenue is realizable and earned when all of the
        following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement
        exists; delivery has occurred or service has been rendered; the seller's
        price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and the amount to be
        collected is reasonably assured. The Company uses the above criteria to
        determine whether revenue can be recognized, and therefore believes that
        the issuance of this Bulletin does not have an impact on its financial
        statements.

Options to purchase 142,000 and 340,000 common shares were outstanding at
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, but were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the
options exceeded the average market price and would have been anti-dilutive.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF


                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased $256,000 during the three-
month period ended September 30, 2000 to $571,000 from $315,000 at June 30,
2000. Net cash was used for operating activities mostly to fund accounts
receivable totaling $1,931,00, pay down accounts payable and other current
liabilities of $1,155,000, an increase in inventory of $410,000 and an increase
in prepaid expenses and other current assets totaling $ 222,000. Net cash used
in operating activities was funded, in part, by Company borrowings of
$3,925,000. The Company previously announced that the Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase by the Company of up to 150,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. Purchases can be made from time to time in the open
market and through privately negotiated transactions, subject to general market
and other conditions. The Company intends to finance these repurchases from its
own funds and/or from its bank credit facility. As of September 30, 2000 the
Company repurchased 56,700 shares of its Common Stock at a cost of $155,000.

The Company has an agreement with a bank for a line of credit which extends
through June 30, 2001. The credit facility provides the Company with short-term
loans, letters of credit and bankers acceptances amounting to $20,000,000. The
Company can borrow up to $10,000,000 with the Company's inventory and accounts
receivable is pledged to the bank as collateral, provided it

                                       9
<PAGE>

maintains a minimum quick ratio of 1 to 1, as well as a minimum tangible net
worth of $14,000,000.

The Company believes that funds provided by operations, existing working capital
and the Company's 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 $20,117,000 during the three-month period ended September 30,
2000 compared to $15,472,000 in the three-month period ended September 30, 1999.
This quarter's increase in net sales was mostly the result of improved women's
sleepwear division sales, along with a higher level of women's apparel sales
volume.

The gross profit percentage was lower at 23.1% this quarter as compared to 27.4%
in last year's same quarter due primarily to lower margins in the women's
apparel division.

Shipping, selling and administrative expenses increased $284,000 in the first
quarter versus the prior years comparable period. However, as a percentage of
net sales, shipping, selling and administrative expenses decreased by 4.7%
mainly due to the relative level of fixed costs compared to higher net sales.

Interest expense of $104,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compares with
$38,000 in the prior comparable period as a result of higher bank borrowing used
to fund much higher levels of

                                       10
<PAGE>

inventory this period versus last year's same period. Other income was higher by
$6,000 in the first quarter of the current fiscal year compared to the fiscal
2000 first quarter due to a slightly higher rate of return on invested funds.

Earnings before income taxes this three-month period as compared to the
equivalent period of fiscal 1999 were higher due primarily to increased sales,
offset somewhat by higher shipping, selling and administrative expenses and
higher interest expense discussed above. Net earnings for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 of $134,000 compared to net earnings for the same period last
year of $87,000.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS


In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging activities. The Company has no derivative instruments and as such has
determined that the application of SFAS No. 133 does not have a material impact
on its financial position or results of operations.

In November 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101, "Revenue
Recognition". This Bulletin sets forth the SEC Staff's position regarding the
point at which it is appropriate to recognize revenue. The Staff believes that
revenue is realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or service
has been rendered; the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
the amount to be collected is reasonably assured. The Company uses the above
criteria to

                                       11
<PAGE>

determine whether revenue can be recognized, and therefore believes that the
issuance of this Bulletin does not have an impact on its financial statements.
