                         OAK HILL SPORTSWEAR CORPORATION

                           ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

                        FOR YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

                                     PART I

Item 1. Business:

         Oak Hill Sportswear Corporation was incorporated in New York in 1967 as
Computronic Sciences Inc. The Company amended its certificate of incorporation
in 1969 to change its name to Bio-Medical Sciences, Inc., a manufacturer and
marketer of disposable thermometers and sterilization monitors. In 1979, the
Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Oak Hill Sportswear, Inc.,
and became primarily engaged in the manufacture and marketing of women's apparel
and accessories. In 1983, the Company changed its name to Oak Hill Sportswear
Corporation pursuant to an amendment to its certificate of incorporation. In
1984, the Company sold its disposable medical devices business. From 1984 to
1995, the Company was engaged in the importation, manufacture and marketing of
women's apparel and accessories.

         As of June 30, 1995, the Company sold the business and certain assets
of its Sportswear Division, which designed, imported, manufactured and marketed
moderately priced women's apparel. Its products were marketed under various
labels including Victoria Jones, Victoria Sport and Casey & Max, generally for
retail by department, specialty and chain stores, wholesale membership clubs and
mail order and catalogue companies at "popular" or moderate prices.

         During 1995, the Company also sold certain of the facilities and
machinery in Mississippi which were previously utilized in connection with the
Sportswear Division. During a portion of 1995 and 1996, the Company's remaining
facilities in Mississippi were leased to a purchaser of the Company's Sportswear
Division. As of December 31, 1996, these properties were carried as assets held
for sale as the Company is currently seeking to sell the properties.

         At the Company's 1995 Annual Meeting, held on July 24, 1995,
shareholders approved the potential future sale of the business and assets of
the Company's Harmal Industries women's accessories division. The Company's
Board of Directors has authorized management to seek a purchaser for the Harmal
Division. Since December 31, 1995, the Harmal Division has been treated as a
discontinued operation, and its assets are being carried as assets held for
sale.

         The women's accessories business is subject to periodic fashion
changes. In recent years, the retail market for women's belts has been weak,
negatively impacting this division's sales. The reduced sales level during 1996
was insufficient to cover the Harmal Division's operating expenses, resulting in
operating losses.

         These operating losses prevented the Company from completing a
transaction to sell the Harmal Division. As a result, management developed a
plan to phase out this business, selling the division's assets on an orderly
basis to recover a portion of its investment in the division's operating assets.
The phase out of the Harmal Division's operations and sale of its assets is
expected to be virtually complete by June 30, 1997.

         The Company's management is actively pursuing the redeployment of the
Company's assets as a result of the progress made towards the phase out of
Harmal's operations and the sale of its assets and the final resolution of its
ongoing tax audit (see Note 5 to the financial statements herein).

         As of December 31, 1996, the Company had 4 employees.

Item 2.  Properties:

         The Company's executive offices are located at 1411 Broadway, New York,
New York 10018. It occupies these premises pursuant to a service agreement with
a purchaser of the Company's former Sportswear Division. All fees relating to
such service agreement were paid during 1995.

         The Company owns approximately 164,000 square feet of manufacturing and
warehousing facilities in Mississippi. At December 31, 1995 and 1996 these
properties were carried as assets held for sale and the Company is currently
seeking to sell the properties.


Item 3.  Legal proceedings:

         There are no material pending legal proceedings involving the Company.


Item 4. Submission of matter to a vote of security holders:

         No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of 1996 to a vote of
the Company's shareholders.

in the foreseeable future.

Item 7.  Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
         results of operations:

Liquidity and capital resources:

     Working capital at December 31, 1996 was $4,736,000 as compared to
$6,046,000 at December 31, 1995. The decrease of $1,310,000 was due to the net
loss for the year.

     Net accounts receivable were $41,000 at December 31, 1996 as compared to
$479,000 at December 31, 1995, a decrease of $438,000. The decrease was due to
the collection of most of the Company's accounts receivable.

     Management believes that the Company's cash and cash equivalents at
December 31, 1996 will be adequate to pay its payables and accrued expenses, to
cover its general and administrative expenses and to cover the potential
continuing losses, if any were not previously provided for, from discontinued
operations.

     The Company's management is actively pursuing the redeployment of the
Company's assets as a result of the progress made toward the phase out of
Harmal's operations and the sale of its assets and the final resolution of its
ongoing tax audit (see Note 5 to the financial statements herein).


Results of operations:

1996 compared to 1995 -

     Revenues in both 1996 and 1995 consisted of consulting and interest income.
Consulting income, which arises from the Company's agreement with a purchaser of
its former Sportswear Division, rose in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the
agreement being in effect for twelve months in 1996 versus six months in 1995.
Interest income rose in 1996 versus 1995 because the Company generates interest
income on its net cash balances only, and during 1996 had a net cash balance for
twelve months as compared to 1995 when the Company did not generate a net cash
balance until July.

     General and administrative expenses rose in 1996 compared to 1995 primarily
as a result of expenses which were no longer allocated to its discontinued
operations. During 1995, many of such expenses were allocated to the Company's
discontinued operations until the sale of the Sportswear Division as of June 30,
1995.

     Provision for taxes for 1996 relative to 1995 decreased as a result of the
Company's lower asset base. The Company was taxed in both periods based on a
franchise basis, rather than an income basis, in both state and local
jurisdictions. There is no provision for federal income taxes as the Company
incurred net operating losses in 1996 and 1995.

     The decrease in losses from discontinued operations in 1996 compared to
1995 was primarily due to two factors. During 1996, the Company operated only
its Harmal Division, which continued to experience operating losses and which
caused a loss on the disposal of certain of this division's assets. During 1995,
the Company operated its Sportswear Division for only the first half of the
year, its seasonally weak period, and the Harmal Division had significantly
lower revenues than were necessary to achieve profitability. Additionally, in
1995, the Company suffered one-time losses relating to the disposal and
discontinuance of the Sportswear and Harmal Divisions.

                                  6 OF 27 PAGES

1995 compared to 1994 -

     Revenues in 1995 consisted of consulting and interest income. The
consulting income arose from the Company's agreement with a purchaser of its
Sportswear Division and the interest income arose from the investment, in the
latter half of 1995, of the Company's excess cash and cash equivalents, neither
of which occurred during 1994.

     General and administrative expenses rose in 1995 compared to 1994 primarily
as a result of the costs which were no longer allocated to its discontinued
operations.

     Provision for taxes for 1995 relative to 1994 decreased as a result of the
Company's lower asset base. The Company was taxed in both periods based on a
franchise basis, rather than an income basis, in both state and local
jurisdictions. There was no provision for federal income taxes as the Company
incurred net operating losses in 1995 and utilized approximately $419,000 of its
net operating loss carryforward in 1994 to offset approximately $142,000 of
income taxes payable.

     The losses from discontinued operations in 1995 compared to income in 1994
was primarily due to two factors: the Company operated its Sportswear Division
for only the first half of 1995, its seasonally weak period; and the Harmal
Division had significantly lower revenues in 1995 than in 1994. Additionally, in
1995 the Company suffered one-time losses relating to the disposal and
discontinuance of the Sportswear and Harmal Divisions.

To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of

Oak Hill Sportswear Corporation


    In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oak Hill
Sportswear Corporation and its subsidiary at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

  A. Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation:

     The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary which was inactive. Certain previously reported amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.

  B. Cash and cash equivalents:

     Cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments (primarily U.S.
Treasury obligations) purchased with original maturities of less than three
months.

  C. Pension and profit-sharing plans:

     The Company has defined contribution pension and profit-sharing plans
covering eligible employees. Costs for these plans are funded as accrued and
there are no prior service costs with respect to these plans.

  D. Net income (loss) per share:

        Primary and fully diluted net income (loss) per share for 1996 and 1995
have been computed using 2,057,576 shares outstanding and for 1994 have been
computed using 2,066,928 shares and common stock equivalent shares outstanding.

  E. Revenues:

     Consulting fees and interest income are recognized as earned. Interest
income for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $247,000, $121,000 and $0, respectively.

  F. Stockholders' equity:

     The Board of Directors has been authorized to have the Company issue
preferred stock, to establish and designate series, to fix the number of shares
and to determine the rights and preferences. The shares have not been issued and
the terms, rights and preferences have not been established.

  G. Fair value of financial instruments:

     The fair value of the Company's financial instruments (cash, receivables,
payables and mortgage note) approximates the carrying value due to the
relatively short-term nature of these assets.

  H. Use of estimates:

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:

     Accounts receivable are net of allowances of $0 and $204,000 at December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.


NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM DEBT:

     The Company has an outstanding mortgage note, which is secured by land and
buildings in Mississippi (and, from September 1995 through December 1996, by a
$1,000,000 certificate of deposit and, since December 1996, by a $500,000
certificate of deposit) which carries an interest rate of 5.01%. The principal
balance of the mortgage was $1,000,000 at December 31, 1995. During 1996,
$500,000 of the principal balance of the mortgage was paid. The Company has
classified this as a current liability as it is likely part or all of such note
will be repaid in 1997.


NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTIONS:

     On October 11, 1994, the Board of Directors adopted a Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") covering up to 199,250 shares of the Company's Common
Stock. The Plan provides that (1) the option price per share is to be not less
than 50% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant and (2)
options granted shall be for a term of not more than five years and shall become
exercisable in equal installments in each year of the term on a cumulative
basis, other than the first year, or to the extent that the Board of Directors
shall determine. No option may be granted under the Plan after October 11, 2004.
On April 22, 1996, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Plan,
which was also approved by a majority of shareholders at the Company's Annual
Meeting held on June 26, 1996. The amendment provides that the Plan is permitted
to grant options to non-employee directors and provides that each director who
is not an employee of the Company shall receive options to purchase 15,000
shares upon joining the Board.

     At December 31, 1996, the Company reserved 199,250 shares of its Common
Stock for the purposes of the Plan. At that date, there were 184,000 options
outstanding at exercise prices of $2.00-$4.25.

    As permitted, the Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plan.
Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plan been
determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the Plan,
consistent with the alternative method of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the effect on the
Company's net loss for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 would not have
been material.


NOTE 5 - TAXES:

     Provision for taxes consists of the following components:

                                     ======    =======    =======


     The provisions for 1996, 1995 and 1994 represent state and local taxes.
There is no provision for federal income taxes as the Company had net losses in
1996 and 1995 and utilized approximately $419,000 of its net operating loss
carryforward to offset approximately $142,000 of federal income taxes otherwise
payable in 1994. At December 31, 1996, the Company has available for Federal
income tax purposes net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$11,243,000 that begin to expire in the year 2007.

     During 1995, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") completed a field audit
of the Company's tax returns for the years 1990 through 1992. As a result of the
field audit, the IRS issued a "30 day letter," assessing a claim of
approximately $1,400,000, including interest. The Company, believing it had
meritorious defenses against such assessment, filed an appeal. Subsequent to
year end, in February 1997, the Company and the IRS reached a tentative
settlement which would result in the payment of approximately $550,000 in tax
and interest. The major issue of dispute in the audit process was the timing of
a particular deduction relating to inventory. Although the settlement includes a
disallowance of a portion of the Company's inventory deduction in the particular
year taken, the Company is entitled to the deduction in a subsequent tax year.
The Company is awaiting the confirmation of the settlement by the Joint
Committee on Taxation in Washington, D.C. The ultimate resolution of the matter
could differ in the near term from the amounts accrued.


NOTE 6 - PROFIT-SHARING AND PENSION PLANS:

     The Company has non-contributory profit-sharing plans which provide for
annual contributions, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, of between 2%
and 15% of the defined compensation of eligible employees. Profit-sharing
expense was $7,500 in 1996, $93,000 in 1995 and $137,000 in 1994.

     The Company also has defined contribution (money purchase) pension plans
that cover employees who meet specified eligibility requirements. The
contributions required under the plans vary; however, the Company principally
contributes 1% of the first $20,000 and 4% above $20,000 (limited to an
additional $130,000), of the defined compensation of eligible employees. Pension
expense was $37,000 in 1996, $91,000 in 1995 and $180,000 in 1994.


NOTE 7 - ACCRUED EXPENSES:

     Accrued expenses at December 31 consist of:

NOTE 8 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

     Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between Oak Hill Sportswear
Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Company") and Donnkenny Apparel, Inc.
("Donnkenny"), dated as of May 23, 1995, as amended (the "Asset Purchase
Agreement"), the Company completed, on July 24, 1995, the sale (the "Sale") of
the business and certain assets of the Company's Sportswear Division. The Sale
occurred as of June 30, 1995, subject to the approval of the Company's
shareholders. Such shareholder approval was obtained on July 24, 1995. The
assets sold included the inventory, certain fixed assets, security deposits,
trade names and trademarks, contracts and goodwill of the Company's Sportswear
Division.

     The purchase price paid by Donnkenny was $14,616,000 in cash and the
assumption of certain liabilities. The Company retained accounts receivable,
notes payable and accrued expenses relating to the Sportswear Division. The
purchase price was based on an estimate of the net book value of the transferred
tangible assets plus $2,000,000. The cash proceeds, after payment of expenses
related to the transaction, were used primarily to repay the Company's notes
payable to its banks and to BankAmerica Business Credit, Inc. ("BankAmerica").
$1,000,000 of the cash purchase price was placed in a one year escrow to provide
security for the Company's indemnification obligations and its warranty of
certain inventory under the Asset Purchase Agreement and other reconciliations
and obligations. During October 1995 this escrow was terminated in connection
with a partial settlement of post closing adjustments. As of December 31, 1995,
the Company terminated its Loan and Security Agreement with BankAmerica and,
during February 1996, a final settlement was signed with Donnkenny with respect
to post closing adjustments.

     During 1995, the Company completed sales of three manufacturing and
warehousing facilities located in Mississippi which were previously utilized in
connection with the operations of the Company's Sportswear Division. In
addition, the Company also sold machinery and equipment formerly located at the


                                 18 OF 27 PAGES


<PAGE>
sold facilities and at a manufacturing facility still owned by the Company. The
proceeds of these sales, net of related expenses, are reflected in the loss on
disposal of discontinued operations with respect to the Sportswear Division.

     At the Company's 1995 Annual Meeting, held on July 24, 1995, shareholders
approved the future sale of the Harmal Division of the Company. The Company's
Board of Directors has authorized management to seek a purchaser for the Harmal
Division. As of December 31, 1995 and 1996, the Harmal Division is being treated
as a discontinued operation and its assets are being carried as assets held for
sale.

     Harmal's reduced sales level during 1996 was insufficient to cover its
operating expenses, resulting in significant operating losses. These operating
losses prevented the Company from completing a transaction to sell the Harmal
Division. As a result, Management undertook a plan to phase out this business
and sell Harmal's assets on an orderly basis to recoup a portion of the
Company's investment in the Division's operating assets. As of December 31,
1996, the Company is in the late stages of completing the phase out of the
Harmal Division's business and the sale of its assets, which are expected to be
virtually complete by June 30, 1997.

     Sales made by the Company's Sportswear Division (until its sale as of June
30, 1995) and Harmal Division in the aggregate in 1996 and 1995 were $3,697,000
and $35,086,000, respectively.

             Our audits of the consolidated financial statements referred to in
