The Companys product lines include womens sleepwear and western wear and mens casual wear.

2.     Condensed Financial Statements:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  They do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2004.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the interim period.  Operating results for the nine months ended May 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31,
2005.

3.     Earnings Per share:

At May 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no stock options or similar instruments outstanding and therefore no dilutive effect to the number of shares outstanding.

4.     Inventories:

5.     Trade accounts receivable:

Pursuant to
the terms of an agreement between Nitches and a factor, Nitches sells a majority
of its trade accounts receivable to the factor on a pre-approved, non-recourse
basis.  The price at which the accounts are sold is the invoice amount
reduced by the factor commission (.3% of the invoice amount) and all selling
discounts.  For accounts sold to the factor without recourse, the factor is
responsible for collection, assumes all credit risk, and obtains all of the
rights and remedies against the companys customers.  For such
accounts, payment is due from the factor upon the earlier of the payment of the
receivable to the factor by the customer, or the maturity of the receivable
(generally 180 days from the date of shipment to the customer).  As of May
31, 2005, non-recourse receivables totaled $4.2 million, while factored with recourse
receivables totaled $106,000.

Trade accounts receivable not sold to the factor remain in the custody and control of the Company and the Company maintains all credit risk on those accounts as well as accounts which are sold to the factor with recourse.  The combined credit risk for non-factored and recourse receivables as of May 31, 2005, totaled $191,000.

The Company may request payment from the factor in advance of the collection date or maturity.  Any such advance payments are assessed an interest charge through the collection date or maturity at the factors prime rate less 1.5% (one and one half percent) per annum.  The companys obligations with respect to advances from the factor are limited to the interest charges thereon.  Advance payments are limited to a maximum of 85% (eighty-five percent) of eligible accounts receivable.  The factoring agreement also provides for the issuance of irrevocable letters of credit for the Companys purchase of inventory in the normal course of its business.  Letters of credit are subject to a $6 million
limit.  All assets of the company collateralize the advances and letters of credit.  The Companys Chairman has also provided a personal guaranty in connection with the factoring arrangement.

6.     Dividends:

The Company did not pay any dividends during the current or prior fiscal years.

7.     Significant Customers:

Sales to one customer, Kohls, accounted for 43.0% of the Companys net sales in the three months ended May 31, 2005.  Two customers, Wal-Mart (Sams Club) and Kohls, accounted for 38.6% and 23.5% of the Companys net sales in the three months ended May 31, 2004.  Kohls accounted for 55.9% of the Companys net sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2005. Two customers, Wal-Mart (Sams Club) and Kohls, accounted for 30.9% and 30.2% of the Companys net sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2004. The absence of Sams Club as a significant customer for the current year is due to the loss of business from this customer.

Two customers, Kohls & TJX Companies Inc, accounted for 49.6 and 9.0% respectively of the Companys trade receivable balance as of May 31, 2005.  Two customers, Wal-Mart (Sams Club) & Kohls, accounted for 46.1% and 14.6% respectively of the Companys trade receivable balance at May 31, 2004.

8.     Minority Interest:

In October 2002 the Company acquired a 28% interest in Designer Intimates, Inc., which owns 100% of NAP, Inc., a New York-based intimate apparel company.  Designer Intimates had acquired NAP from its founders and obtained a credit line of approximately $12 million from HSBC, later assumed by CIT, secured by the inventory and accounts receivable of NAP and the guarantees of shareholders of Designer Intimates.  Nitches guarantees $3 million of this credit line and this guarantee formed the consideration from Nitches for its 28% ownership interest in Designer Intimates. In the event of a call on this guaranty by CIT, Nitches has a contract with the remaining shareholders of Designer Intimates to limit Nitches exposure to 28% of the called value, subject to maximum guaranty of $3.0 million.

Nitches reports any income or loss from the ongoing operation of Designer Intimates using the equity method of accounting, whereby Nitches 28% interest in Designer Intimates is reported as a single line item on the Consolidated Statement of Income.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2005, the Company recognized $8,000 in income from the unconsolidated subsidiary.  This income is reported net of tax and is not taxable to the Company.  For that same period,

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition.The Company recognizes revenue at the time products are shipped based on its terms of F.O.B. shipping point, where risk of loss and title transfer to the buyer at time of shipment.  The Company records sales in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition.  Under these guidelines, revenue is recognized when all of the following exist: persuasive evidence of a sale arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and payment is reasonably assured.  Provisions are made currently for estimated product returns and sales allowances.

Allowances for Sales Returns, Doubtful Accounts and Other.Sales are recorded net of estimated future returns, uncollectible accounts receivable and other customer related allowances.  Management analyzes historical returns and bad debt expense, current economic trends, changes in customer demand and sell-through of our products when evaluating the adequacy of these allowances.  In addition, the Company may provide warehousing credits and other allowances to certain customers in accordance with industry practice.  These reserves are determined based on historical experience, budgeted customer allowances and existing commitments to customers.  Although management believes it has established adequate reserves with respect to these items, actual activity could vary from managements estimates and such variances could have a material impact on reported results.  At
May 31, 2005, trade accounts receivable balance was $1.2 million, net of allowances of   $275,000 as compared to the balance of $3.6 million, net of allowances of $492,000 and factor advances of $1.9 million at August 31, 2004.  At May 31, 2004, the trade accounts receivable balance was $5.1 million, net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $499,000.

Inventory.The Company marks down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based on assumptions about age of the inventory, future demand and market conditions. This process provides for a new basis for the inventory until it is

8



sold. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory markdowns may be required.  The Companys inventory balance was $4.1 million, net of inventory markdowns of $75,000, at May 31, 2005, as compared to an inventory balance of $3.4 million, net of inventory write-downs of $85,000, at August 31, 2004.  At May 31, 2004, the inventory balance was $3.0 million, net of inventory write-downs of $120,000.

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended May 31, 2005 Compared to the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2004

Net sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2005, decreased 20.6% or $5.2 million as compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2004.  This decrease was attributable to lower unit sales of the Companys mens wear and womens sleepwear products.  The mens wear decline was driven primarily by the loss of Sams Club as a customer, offset partially by an increase in orders from Kohls and Stein Mart, while the sleepwear decline came as a result of reduced orders from Mervyns.

Cost of sales as a percent of net sales increased 7.3% generating a lower gross profit margin of 22.2% for the nine months ended May 31, 2005, as compared to 29.5% in the year earlier period.  The decrease in gross margin came primarily as the result of the loss of higher gross margin sales (in excess of 40%) in the Companys mens wear line, which were included in the year earlier period.  The Companys product mix constantly changes to reflect customer mix, fashion trends and changing seasons.  Consequently, gross margin is likely to vary on a quarter-to-quarter basis and in comparison to gross margins generated in the same period of prior fiscal years.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the  nine months ended May 31, 2005, declined $313,000 as compared to a year ago; due primarily to a decrease in sales commissions and selling related expenses in line with the reduced sales volume in the Companys mens wear product line.  Expenses included $3.7 million of selling and merchandising expenses and $959,000 of shipping and warehousing expenses. This compares with $3.3 million of selling and merchandising expenses and $977,000 of shipping and warehousing expenses incurred for the nine months ended May 31, 2004.  Expenses increased as a percent of net sales to 30.1% from 25.1% in the year earlier period, due to the decrease in sales from the earlier period.

Other income for the recent nine months of $456,000 includes $453,000 for the repayment of a note receivable that the Company issued related to a sale of product lines in 1995.  This note had been written off by the Company in fiscal 2001 as part of a credit reorganization of the buyer.  However, due to improved financial performance of the buyer achieved in part through continued guidance and support from the Company, the buyer recently elected to repay the balance of the note.

Interest expense decreased $13,000 for the current period to $70,000 as compared to $83,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004.  This decline derived from lower advance requirements under the Companys factoring agreement in line with reduced sales and purchasing activity and in spite of higher interest rates charged on these advances.

The
Companys income tax provision for the nine months ended May 31, 2005,
reflects a $468,000 tax benefit accrued at an estimated 39% tax rate on the
Companys pretax loss for the quarter of $1,184,000, excluding the $8,000
gain on the investment in Designer Intimates.   The Company also utilized an estimated tax rate of 39% for the
nine months ended May 31, 2004.  The Company recognized a $400,000 expense
in the prior period on pretax income of $1,025,000.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2005 Compared to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2004

Net sales of $7.4 for the three months ended May 31, 2005, decreased approximately $1.6 million (18.0%) over net sales of $9.0 million for the three months ended May 31, 2004.  This decrease was attributable to a decrease in unit sales in the Companys mens wear product line, driven primarily by the loss of Sams Club as a customer, offset partially by an increase in orders from Kohls and Stein Mart.

Cost of sales as a percent of net sales increased 8.6%, generating a lower gross profit margin of 21.5% for the three months ended May 31, 2005 as compared to 30.1% for the year earlier period.  The decrease in gross margin came primarily as the result of the loss of higher gross margin sales (in excess of 40%) in the Companys mens wear line, which were included in the year earlier period.  The Companys product mix constantly changes to reflect customer mix, fashion trends and changing seasons.  Consequently, gross margin is likely to vary on a quarter-to-quarter basis and in comparison to gross margins generated in the same period of prior fiscal years.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased $48,000 as compared to a year ago; due primarily to a decrease in sales commissions and selling related expenses in line with the reduced sales volume in the Companys mens wear product line. Expenses included $1,454,000 of selling and merchandising expenses and $335,000 of shipping and warehousing expenses.  This compares with $1,245,000 of selling and merchandising expenses and $353,000 of shipping and warehousing expenses incurred during the quarter ended May 31, 2004.  Expenses increased as a percent of net sales to 29.9% from 25.1% in the year earlier period, due to the decrease in sales from the earlier period.

Other income for the recent three months of $456,000 includes $453,000 for the repayment of a note receivable that the Company issued related to a sale of product lines in 1995.  This note had been written off by the Company in fiscal 2001 as part of a credit reorganization of the buyer.  However, due to improved financial performance of the buyer achieved in part through continued guidance and support from the Company, the buyer recently elected to repay the balance of the note.

Interest expense of $40,000 remained constant in the current quarter as compared to $40,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2004.  The Company required fewer advances in the current period than during the prior period, however the reduction in advances was offset by continued rising interest rates charged by the Companys factor.

The
Companys income tax provision for the three months ended May 31, 2005
reflects an $83,000 tax benefit accrued at an estimated 39% tax rate on the
Companys pretax loss of $205,000 before the recognized loss from the
unconsolidated subsidiary for the quarter of $66,000.  The Company also utilized an estimated tax rate of 39% for
the three months ended May 31, 2004.  There were no tax reserve write-offs
or other tax adjustments in either period.

Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary

In October 2002 the Company acquired a 28% interest in Designer Intimates, Inc., which owns 100% of NAP, Inc., a New York-based intimate apparel company.  Designer Intimates had acquired NAP from its founders and obtained a credit line of approximately $12 million from HSBC, later assumed by CIT, secured by the inventory and accounts receivable of NAP and the guarantees of shareholders of Designer Intimates.  Nitches guarantees $3 million of this credit line and this guarantee formed the consideration from Nitches for its 28% ownership interest in Designer Intimates.  In the event of a call on this guaranty by CIT, Nitches has a contract with the remaining shareholders of Designer Intimates to limit Nitches exposure to 28% of the called value, subject to the maximum guaranty of $3.0 million.

Nitches reports any income or loss from the ongoing operation of Designer Intimates using the equity method of accounting, whereby Nitches 28% interest in Designer Intimates is reported as a single line item on the Consolidated Statement of Income.  For the three months ended May 31, 2005, the Company recognized a loss of $66,000 from the unconsolidated subsidiary.  For that same period Designer Intimates incurred a loss of $234,000 on sales of  $7.4       million.  For the three months ended May 31, 2004 the Company recognized a loss of $172,000 from the unconsolidated subsidiary, while for the same period Designer Intimates incurred a loss of $614,000 on sales of $12.1 million.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2005 the Company recognized a gain of $8,000 from the unconsolidated subsidiary.  For that same period Designer Intimates
earned profit of $28,000 on sales of $40.0 million.  Cumulative losses on this investment of $214,000 and $222,000 are shown as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2005 and August 31, 2004 respectively.

Nitches has introduced Designers Intimates to the factories that Nitches uses for its own sleepwear product line. This provides access to a lower cost production base than Designer Intimates has had in Turkey where it has historically produced over ninety percent of it products which are predominantly robes and lounge wear. In an

10



agreement with Designer Intimates, Nitches produces a line of sleepwear under the Dockers® label.  This product contributed approximately $2.9 million dollars of sales for Nitches in the current period.  As of May 31, 2005, Nitches had a backlog of approximately $3.4 million for this product line.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working
capital decreased to $4.9 million at May 31, 2005, from $5.6 million at August
31, 2004.  The current ratio decreased to 3.4:1 at May 31, 2005 from 3.9:1
at August 31, 2004, due to a 5.1% rise in current liabilities and an 8.3%
decrease in current assets.  Current liabilities increased in line with
increased purchases in the current period that generated the higher inventory
level at the period end.  Current assets decreased due to a lower current
period accounts receivable balance of $1.7 million versus $3.6 million at the
end of prior fiscal year. Receivables were lower as of May 31, 2005 due to
increased factor advances of $3.1 million versus $1.9 million at the end of the
prior fiscal year.  Receivables on the balance sheet are stated net of
these factor advances.

The Company sells substantially all of its trade receivables to a factor (CIT) on a pre-approved, non-recourse basis. The Company attempts to make any recourse shipments on a COD basis or ensure that the customers payments are backed by a commercial or standby letter of credit issued by the customers bank.  The amount of the Companys receivables that were recourse and were not made on a COD basis or supported by commercial or standby letters of credit at May 31, 2005 was approximately $191,000, of which approximately $28,000 had been collected through June 30, 2005.

Payment for non-recourse factored receivables is made at the time customers make payment to CIT or, if a customer is financially unable to make payment, within approximately 180 days of the invoice due date.  Under the factoring agreement, the Company can request advances in anticipation of customer collections at the prime rate (currently 5.75%) less one and one-half percent (1.5%).  The amount of advances available to the Company is limited to eighty-five percent (85%) of non-recourse factored receivables.

The Company may issue import letters of credit through CIT for the purchase of inventory in the normal course of its operations.  Letters of credit are subjected to a limit of $6 million.  At May 31, 2005, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $4.0 million for the purchase of finished goods, which had been opened through CIT.

The factoring agreement does not contain any financial covenants to which the Company must adhere.  Advances are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company as well as a personal guaranty of the Companys Chairman.  The factoring agreement can be terminated by CIT on 30-days written notice.  The company believes the factoring agreement with CIT, along with expected cash flow from operating activities and current levels of working capital are adequate to fulfill the Companys liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

Inventory

The Companys inventory increased 20.3% to $4.1 million at May 31, 2005, from $3.4 million at August 31, 2004. Compared to inventories of $3.0 million at May 31, 2004, inventories ending the current period increased 36.7% primarily  because the Company is holding more inventory for near-term order fulfillment due to a shift in sales mix and related longer lead times required by key suppliers. The Company believes that its current inventory mix and unit levels are appropriate to respond to anticipated market demand.

11



In its ordinary course of operations, the Company generally makes some sales below its normal selling prices or below cost.  Based on prior experience, management believes this will be true for some inventory held on or acquired after May 31, 2005.  The amount of such sales depends on several factors, including general economic conditions, market conditions within the apparel industry, the desirability of the styles held in inventory and competitive pressures from other garment suppliers.

The Company has established an inventory markdown reserve as of May 31, 2005, which management believes will be sufficient for current inventory that is expected to sell below cost in the future.  There can be no assurance that the Company will realize its expected selling prices, or that the inventory markdown reserve will be adequate, for items in inventory as of May 31, 2005 for which customer sales orders have not yet been received.  The inventory markdown reserve is calculated based on specific identification of aged goods and styles that are slow-moving or selling off-price.

Backlog

The Company had unfilled customer orders of $13.6 million at May 31, 2005 compared to $10.3 million at May 31, 2004, with such orders generally scheduled for delivery by November 2005 and November 2004, respectively.  The increase in backlog is due primarily to an increase in orders for the Companys sleepwear and western wear lines, offset partially by decreased orders from mens wear customers.

Backlog amounts include both confirmed and unconfirmed orders that the Company believes, based on industry practice and past experience, will be confirmed.  While cancellations, rejections and returns have generally not been material in the past, there can be no assurance that cancellations, rejections and returns will not reduce the amount of sales realized from the backlog of orders at May 31, 2005. Because of the Companys reliance upon a few major accounts, any deteriorating financial performance by one or more of these customers could lead to the cancellation of existing orders and/or an inability to secure future orders, which would have a material adverse financial effect on the Company.

Impact of Exchange Rates

While the Company purchases over 85% of its products from foreign manufacturers, all of its purchases are denominated in United States dollars.  Because the Companys products are sold primarily in the United States, in dollar denominated transactions, the Company does not engage in hedging or other arbitrage to reduce currency risk.  An increase in the value of the dollar versus foreign currencies could enhance the Companys purchasing power for new purchase orders and reduce its cost of goods sold.  Conversely, a decrease in the value of the dollar relative to foreign currencies could result in an increase in the Companys cost of manufacturing for new purchase orders and costs of goods sold.

Impact of Inflation and Deflation

Management does not believe that inflation has had any material impact upon the Companys revenues or income from operations to date.  Management believes that the apparel sector in which the Company operates has been in a period of deflation, contrary to the modest inflation experienced in the economy in general.  The persistence of the consumer to buy on sale merchandise has put pressure on retail gross margins, which in turn has led to downward pressure from retailers on wholesale gross margins, in the form of selling cost adjustments taken as deductions against invoices issued by the Company.  In the apparel industry, these are commonly referred to as markdown allowances or chargebacks.  Without a corresponding decrease in fabric and labor prices, these markdown allowances have led to a decline in wholesale gross margins.  Management believes these modest
deflationary pressures will continue into the foreseeable future.

Future Operating Results

Business conditions in the apparel sector continue to be characterized by limited consumer demand and heavy discounting of merchandise by retailers. The propensity of consumers to seek on sale merchandise has sustained the use of significant discounting by most retailers to stimulate sales.  In general, retailers have to sell more units in order to achieve sales equal to or exceeding prior years.  The Company does not expect significant improvement in business conditions in the apparel sector for the remainder of this fiscal year.  Furthermore, the Company has begun incurring significant expense related to internal controls documentation, testing and remediation requirements as mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley legislation with which the Company must be in compliance by August 31, 2006.  In view of the market uncertainties and economic pressures facing the Company, management
remains conservative in its approach to the current fiscal year.

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

In October 2004, our management concluded that that there were certain material weaknesses in our internal controls and procedures.  The material weaknesses noted related to segregation of duties in the payroll process and in the monthly closing process; inadequate review and approval of management-level adjustments and entries.  We discussed these material weaknesses with our auditors, Moss Adams, LLP, who recommended taking steps to alleviate the inadequate segregation of duties within these areas.

The Company and our Audit Committee are committed to remediation of the material weaknesses.  During the period beginning in October 2004, we began to implement steps to address our internal controls and procedures.  The following remediation actions have been completed:

| |  | We began requiring the Accounting Manager to review,   approve and maintain back-up for all accounting entries.                                
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | We have retained a Controller to oversee the closing   process as well as to review the adequacy and completeness of all accounting   entries..
| |  | The Audit Committee began reviewing and approving   all officer expense reimbursements.                                                        
| |  | We have removed the payroll clerk, who is a related   party, from the authorized check signer list.                                            

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Chief Executive and Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14.  Based upon that evaluation, he concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company are effective in timely alerting of the material information required to be included in the periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and that the information required to be disclosed in these filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission.

Cautionary Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Statements in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the caption Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as oral statements that may be made by the Company or by officers, directors or employees of the Company acting on the Companys behalf, that are not historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the Companys actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results.  Those risks include a softening of retailer or consumer acceptance of the Companys products, pricing pressures and other competitive forces, or unanticipated loss of
a major customer.  In addition, the Companys business, operations and financial condition are subject to reports and statements filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PART II.     OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

By letter dated December 6, 2004, the Company, together with Steve Wyandt and Paul Wyandt, were served notice by the U.S. Department of Labor that a complaint has been filed with the office of Occupational Safety & Health Administration by Angel Martin Aquino alleging discriminatory employment practices in violation of Section 806 of the Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act of 2002 (also known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act).  Mr. Aquino was seeking alleged actual and compensatory damages of $43,000 and $300,000, respectively.  On or about January 13, 2005, the Company responded to a detailed request for information from OSHA.  Subsequently OSHA issued a letter dated February 25, 2005, finding that the Company, together with Steve Wyandt and Paul Wyandt, did not commit any violations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and dismissed Mr. Aquinos complaint.
