ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

         This report contains  forward-looking  statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of Securities Exchange
Act of 1934.  Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking  statements  as a result of the risks which the  Company  cannot
foresee.  Such  risks  include,  but are not  limited to an  economic  turndown,
changes in government  policies,  financial  difficulty  with or loss of a major
customer or interruption in supplies.

General

         The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary,  Imperial World, Inc.
("Imperial"),  is engaged in the design,  assembly,  merchandising and wholesale
distribution  of  jewelry.  The Company  provides a broad  range of  fashionable
jewelry targeted at consumers who seek fine jewelry at moderate prices for every
day wear. These customers are likely to purchase  jewelry at frequent  intervals
as fashions and styles  change.  The majority of the  Company's  U.S.  sales are
under the trade name of "World  Pacific  Jewelry".  Customers of the Company are
principally large retail  establishments with jewelry departments and mass media
marketers.

Products and Pricing


         The  Company's  principal  products  are  rings,  earrings,   pendants,
bracelets  and necklaces  made of diamonds,  precious or  semi-precious  stones,
pearls,  silver and gold in  addition  to the more  moderately  priced  gold and
silver jewelry.  The Company's  products are currently sold in over 7,000 retail
outlets.  For  the  majority  of  products,   the  average  wholesale  price  is
approximately $65 with the prices ranging from approximately $20 to $500.

Purchasing

         The Company  imports most of its jewelry from the People's  Republic of
China ("PRC") and Hong Kong.  Approximately  25% of the  Company's  products are
sourced in the U.S.  Fresh water and cultured  pearls are imported  from the PRC
and Hong Kong.  The  imported  pearls are  assembled by the Company into various
pearl jewelry products. The Company purchases jewelry from a number of suppliers
based on quality, pricing and available quantities.

         Although  purchases of material are made from a relatively small number
of suppliers,  the Company believes there are numerous  alternative  sources for
all materials,  and that the failure of any principal  supplier would not have a
material adverse effect on operations or the Company's financial condition.  The
Company  believes it has good relations  with its  suppliers,  most of whom have
supplied  the  Company  for many years.  The  Company  has not  experienced  any
difficulty in securing product.

Manufacturing and Assembly


         Since the Company  imports  most of its jewelry in an  assembled  state
from suppliers in the PRC and Hong Kong,  manufacturing and assembly  operations
conducted by the Company are primarily limited to designing jewelry and assembly
of pearl products. Upon completing a design, the Company provides such design to
its  suppliers,  who will purchase the raw  materials,  such as diamonds,  other
precious stones, gold and silver, and manufacture the product or subcontract for
its  manufacture.  The use of third party  manufacturers  enables the Company to
shift the risk and capital cost of manufacturing.
                                       3
<PAGE>

         The Company maintains a light  manufacturing and assembly  operation in
the United  States for the  stringing  of pearls.  This  enables  the Company to
assemble pearls  specifically  to customer order and to provide  shipment within
two days of the order date.

Marketing

         The primary  marketing  efforts are product design and customer support
services.  The products are sold, for the most part,  through  independent sales
representatives  on a commission  basis and by in house sales  personnel.  While
such independent  representatives may also sell other products, they do not sell
products  which  compete  with those of the  Company.  The Company  supports the
independent  representatives  with internal account  executives who have selling
and account management responsibilities.

Customers

         The  Company's   customers  consist  of  jewelry  retail  stores,  mass
merchandisers,  such as Wal-Mart Stores,  Inc.,  department stores, such as J.C.
Penney Company,  Inc.,  national jewelry chains,  catalog  showrooms and various
specialty markets including The Home Shopping Network,  Inc. The Company derived
approximately  38%,  21% and 18% of its net sales  from three  customers  during
2001. The Company has no long-term  contracts with any customers,  however,  the
core of each of its large volume  purchasers  have been  customers  for at least
five years.  The following  table sets forth the  approximate  percentage of net
sales for the major market segments for the periods indicated.

Competition

         The jewelry  industry in the United States is highly  fragmented,  with
little  significant  brand name  recognition or consumer  loyalty.  Selection is
generally  a function  of design  appeal,  perceived  high value and  quality in
relation to price.

         Jewelry  stores alone  account for an  estimated  $25 billion in annual
sales in the United States. Retail jewelry sales have historically  increased at
a  rate  in  excess  of  the  inflation   rate.  This  increase  is  principally
attributable  to the growth in the number of dual  working  households  which in
turn has increased the amount of disposable  income for women, the largest group
of jewelry  purchasers.  The rise in number of women in the workforce as well as
strong  economic  conditions  have  increased  the demand for  women's  business
attire, including jewelry.

         While  many  competitors  may have a wider  selection  of  products  or
greater financial  resources,  the Company believes its competitive  position is
enhanced by its information system,  performance and its close relationship with
its customers and vendors.  Therefore,  although the competition is intense, the
Company believes it is well positioned in the jewelry industry.

Employees

As of March 1,  2002,  the  Company  had 52  employees,  including  2  executive
officers, 5 persons in sales and merchandising, 35 persons in operations, and 10
persons in  administrative  and  support  functions.  None of the  employees  is
governed by a collective  bargaining  agreement  and the Company  considers  its
relations with its employees to be satisfactory.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

         The Company  maintains its  registered  offices in the BVI; the Company
leases  approximately  13,000  square  feet of space  for  operations  and pearl
assembly  in  Westmont,  Illinois.  Under the 10 year lease which  commenced  in
November,  1993,  and modified in November  1998,  future  minimum  annual lease
payments range from approximately $125,000 to $133,000. At the expiration of the
lease,  the Company has the option to renew for an  additional  five years.  The
facility, which provides state of the art security, was designed to maximize the
efficiency of the Company's current  operations and to provide for the Company's
anticipated growth.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In September 1996,  Robert J. Rosen filed a class action lawsuit in the
Supreme  Court  in  the  state  of  New  York  alleging   claims  of  fraudulent
misrepresentations by IWI Holding Limited and some Company officers, accountants
and lawyers in connection with the Company's initial public offering on December
16, 1994, and in connection with the  dissemination of financial data therafter.
The Plaintiff  claims  damages on behalf of the class in excess of  $11,000,000,
which  allegedly  resulted  from a decline of the market value of the  Company's
common stock after the initial public offering.

         The parties reached an agreement in principal to settle the claim for a
significantly  lesser  amount,  which was accrued as of December 31,  1999.  The
settlement agreement is subject to court approval and the Company may decline to
proceed with the agreement if a significant number of class members "opt out" of
the settlement.

ITEM 5.           NATURE OF TRADING MARKET

There is no non-U.S.  trading market for the Common Stock of the Company. Within

"JEWLF".

      The  following  table  sets forth the high and low bid price per share for
the Company's Common Stock for each quarterly period for the past two years.

Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2000


             Net Sales.  Net sales increased by $4.3 million,  or 22.3% to $23.3
million in 2001,  from $19.0 million in 2000. This increase  primarily  reflects
increased  sales to established  customers.  While the Company feels it has been
somewhat  successful in broadening its overall customer base, the impact in 2001
was not significant

          Gross  Profit.  Gross  profit  increased  .5 million,  or 9.9% to $5.5
million in 2001.  While gross profit  increased  in 2001 gross margin  decreased
2.7% and  reflects  the  impact  in both  customer  and  product  mix as well as
increased  provisions for future  liquidations of excess inventories of $556,000
representing an increase of $312,000 from levels recorded in 2000.

        Income  from  Operations.  Income  from  operations  was $.5  million an
increased of $101,000 or 24.2% in 2001 from $417,000 in 2000.  Selling,  General
and  Administative  expenses  increased  $399,000 or 8.8% in 2001 and  primarily
reflect increased sales related costs.

        Net  Income.  The net income  for 2001 of $1.5  million  increased  $1.4
million  from the 2000 net income of  $112,000.  The  increase in net income for
2001 was  primarily  attributable  to the  increase  in  sales,  a gain on trade
settlement  of $1.2  million  (see note 11  contained  in the Audit  Report) and
recording of a tax benefit of $120,000. Interest expense remained flat from year
to year and reflects the decrease in overall  market  interest  rates as well as
decreased interest rates due to the Company's  refinancing of financing facility
in September of 2001 offset by increased borrowing  requirement  associated with
the increase in sales volume.

Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1999


           Net Sales.  Net sales  increased by $2.2  million,  or 13.3% to $19.0
million in 2000,  from $16.8 million in 1999. This increase  primarily  reflects
increased  sales  to our  base  customers.  While a  broadening  of our  overall
customer base continued in 2000, the impact was not significant.

          Gross  Profit.  Gross profit  decreased  $.2 million,  or 4.2% to $5.0
million in 2000 and reflects the impact in both customer and product mix and was
partially  offset by reduced  sales costs.  In addition,  provisions  for future
liquidations  of excess  inventory  were  recorded  during 2000 in the amount of
$244,000.

        Income from Operations. Income from operations increased by $135,000, or
96.5% to $417,000 in 2000 from $282,000 in 1999 and reflects reduced general and
administrative costs as well as certain sales related costs.

         Net Income. The net income for 2000 of $112,000 reflects an increase of
$55,000  from the 1999 net income of  $57,000.  This  increase in net income for
2000  was  primarily  attributable  to the  increase  in sales  combined  with a
decrease in operating costs.  Interest expense  increased by $80,000  reflecting
increased financing requirements associated with the increase in sales volume.

Analysis of Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's primary  liquidity needs are to fund accounts  receivable
and  inventories.  The Company has  historically  financed  its working  capital
requirements  through a combination  of internally  generated  cash,  short-term
borrowings under bank lines of credit. The Company's working capital at December
31, 2001 was $2.6 million as compared to $.9 million at December 31, 2000.

         On September 12, 2001 the Company entered into a credit  agreement with
a new financial institution,  whereby the Company can borrow up to $3.5 million,
plus the seasonal  over-line amount of $1 million,  payable on demand. The total
credit  facility is governed by a formula,  as defined in the  agreement,  based
principally  on  accounts   receivable  and  inventory  levels.  This  agreement
provides,  among other things,  that the credit facilities are collateralized by
substantially  all the assets of the  Company.  Under this  borrowing  facility,
interest is calculated at 1.5% over prime with respect to the revolving loan and
1.75% over prime for the portion  attributable to the seasonal over-line amount.
The agreement  contains  certain  reporting and financial  covenants,  which the
Company is required to maintain.  The Company can terminate  the agreement  with
repayment  of the loan plus  termination  fees,  or by the lender  upon  certain
events as  specified  in the loan  agreement.  An  officer  of the  Company  has
personally guaranteed up to $1,000,000 of the borrowing. As of December 31,2001,
borrowings under this credit agreement were approximately $4,066,000.

         The following table summarizes cash provided by (used in) the Company's
business activities for the past three years:

                                                   1999       2000       2001
                                                   ----       ----       ----

Increase (decrease) in cash.................          -         59         59

     Operating  Activities.  The net use of cash in 2001 was  principally due to
the  increase in  accounts  receivable  of $.9 million and  decrease in accounts
payable of $1.8  million.  The  increase  in  accounts  receivable  reflect  the
increased sales levels  particularly in the fourth quarter where the decrease in
accounts payable  represents the combination of trade settlement,  $1.2 million,
and increased supplier payments as a result of increased financing activity.

     Investing  Activities.  Cash  uses in 2001 were  minimal  and  reflect  the
upgrade of computer and related systems and minor building renovations.

     Financing  Activities.  During  2001,  the  Company  increased  the amounts
outstanding under its line of credit by $1.0 million to $4.1 million at December
31, 2001. Notes payable to employees decreased by $150,000.

     During the coming  twelve  months,  the  Company  does not  anticipate  any
significant capital expenditures.

Seasonality

     The jewelry business is highly seasonal,  with the fourth calendar quarter,
which includes the Christmas  shopping  season,  historically  contributing  the
highest sales of any quarter during the year.  Seaonality cannot be predicted or
counted  upon,  and the  results  of any  interim  period  are  not  necessarily
indicative of the results that might be expected during a full fiscal year.

Inflation

         Inflation has  historically  not had a material effect on the Company's
operations. When the price of gold or precious stones has increased, these costs
historically  have been  passed on to the  customer.  Furthermore,  because  the
Company does not have either long-term  supply contracts or long-term  contracts
with  customers,   prices  are  quoted  based  on  the  prevailing   prices  for
semi-precious  gemstones  or metals.  Accordingly,  the Company does not believe
inflation will have a material effect on its future operations.

purposes  of the  Option  Plan is for so long as  Common  Stock is quoted on the
NASDAQ  Small Cap,  the final  closing  sales price per share on the date of the
grant. The exercise price with respect to any option must be paid in cash. As of
the date  hereof,  there are no  options  to  purchase  shares  of Common  Stock
outstanding under the Option Plan.

         The Company,  during 1995,  also adopted a  Non-Qualified  Stock Option
Plan (the  "Non-Qualified  Plan").  A total of 600,000  shares are  reserved for
issuance  under the  Non-Qualified  Plan.  The  Non-Qualified  Stock Option Plan
provides  for  the  granting  of  options  and  stock  appreciation   rights  to
non-employee  directors,   key  management  employees  and  consultants  and  is
administered  by the  Compensation  Committee.  The terms of any options  and/or
stock  appreciation  rights  granted  under  the  Non-Qualified  Plan  shall  be
determined  by the  Compensation  Committee  provided  that  options  may not be
exercisable  for a term  longer than ten years and may not be  exercisable  at a
price  less than the  stated  value of the  Common  Stock.  No  options or stock
appreciation  rights had been granted under the Non-Qualified  Stock Option Plan
as of December 31, 2001.

In addition,  the Company maintains a defined contribution plan which has both a
profit  sharing  feature and a 401(k)  savings  feature (the "Plan").  Under the
profit sharing portion of the Plan,  contributions  are an amount  determined by
the Company's  Board of Directors.  Subject to certain  limitations  required by
law, the Company's contribution is allocated to each participant who is employed
by the  Company  at the end of the Plan  year in the  proportion  that the total
compensation  paid by the  Company to each  participant  bears to the  aggregate
compensation  paid by the  Company to all  participants  during  such Plan year.
Under the 401(k)  savin gs feature,  eligible  employees  may elect,  subject to
certain  limitations  required  by law,  to defer  payment of up to 15% of their
compensation.  The Plan provides that if an employee defers payment, the Company
will contribute 50% of the first 6% of compensation  deferred,  by making a cash
payment to the Plan on behalf of such participant.  Contributions by the Company
to the profit sharing feature of the plan, and earnings  thereon,  vest based on
the participant's years of service with the Company,  vesting 20% per year after
one year of service and being fully vested after six years of service.  Employee
contributions are always 100% vested. Contributions by the Company to the 401(k)
savings feature vest on the employees first day of employment. All contributions
vest,  regardless of years of service,  upon termination of employment by reason
of death of  disability,  attainment of age 62 or the  termination  of the Plan.
After  termination  of  employment,  an  employee  is  entitled  to receive  the
distribution  of his or her entire vested interest in the Plan in a lump sum, in
installments  for a specific period of time, or an annuity for life. The amounts
held  under  the  Plan  are  invested  according  to  the  instructions  of  the
participant  in  investment  funds  designated  by the plan  administrator.  The
Company  made  contributions  to the Plan  during  2001 and 2000 of $51,000  and
$47,000, respectively.

ITEM 12. OPTIONS TO PURCHASE SECURITIES FROM REGISTRANT OR SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 13. INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

         All  transactions  between  the  Company,   its  officers,   directors,

Rhine were approximately $0, $900,000 and $ 4,200,000 respectively. During 1998,
Rhine Holding Limited filed for bankruptcy in Hong Kong and purchases from Rhine
ceased.

         Since  1998,  some of the  Company's  products  were  purchased  from a
manufacturer  in Hong Kong,  which is managed by a relative of an officer of the
Company.  For the years ended  December 31, 2001,  2000 and 1999,  the Company's
purchases from this manufacturer were approximately  $7,337,000,  $6,205,000 and
