3.  ACQUISITION OF SUNGOLD

           On April 11, 1997, the Company purchased substantially all the assets
and assumed certain liabilities of Sungold Enterprises, LTD., a New York
corporation ("Sungold"). Sungold manufactured two principal lines of premium
sunglasses, Stussy EyeGear, a young men's fashion brand licensed to Sungold by
Stussy, Inc., a leading designer of streetwear apparel and accessories, and
Anarchy Eyewear, a cutting-edge brand popular with alternative sports
enthusiasts age 15 to 25.

           The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the allocation of the
purchase price of $10,970,000 was based on the fair value of the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed. Costs in excess of the fair market value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed are reflected as intangibles, the most
significant component of which is the Stussy license agreement, which is being
amortized over the remaining 15-year license term.

4.  ACQUISITION OF PRIVATE EYES

           On May 14, 1997, the Company purchased substantially all the assets
and assumed certain liabilities of The Private Eyes Sunglass Corporation, a
Massachusetts corporation ("Private Eyes"). Private Eyes was the licensee for
Ellen Tracy eyewear which features a collection of high-quality, high-fashion
women's sunglasses, readers, optical frames and accessories in a variety of
designs ranging from traditional to fashion-forward. Private Eyes is also the
North American distributor for Emmanuelle Khanh Paris Eyewear and a manufacturer
of its own high-quality line of prescription frames and eyewear accessories.

           The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the allocation of the
purchase price of $6,500,000 was based on the fair value of the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed. Costs in excess of the fair market value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed are reflected as intangibles, the most
significant component of which is the Ellen Tracy license agreement, which is
being amortized over the remaining 15-year license term.

beginning of the periods presented, and reflecting the pro forma effect of the
Sungold acquisition, is as follows:

5.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

           In January 1997, the Company entered into a three-year agreement with
International Speedway Corporation to become the title sponsor of a NASCAR Busch
Series race at Daytona, Florida, the Gargoyles 300. In a related agreement with
CBS Television Network, the Company entered into three-year agreement for
network broadcast coverage of the Gargoyles 300 race. Since that time, the
Company has terminated the agreements. Termination fees associated with these
agreements were $100,000 to each of International Speedway Corporation and CBS
Television Network.

6.  GOLDEN BEAR LICENSING AGREEMENT

           Effective January 1, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with
Golden Bear Golf, Inc. ("Golden Bear") to develop a line of specialty eyewear
for golfers. The Company and Golden Bear will jointly create and develop the
golfing eyewear. The Company will manufacture and distribute the product. The
agreement requires the Company, as licensee, to make quarterly royalty payments
based on a percentage of net sales, with certain annual minimum payments. The
agreement expires June 30, 2002, with an option to renew for an additional five
years.

7.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

           In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share,
which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company
will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per
share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for
calculating basic (primary) earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock
options will be excluded. The impact of Statement No. 128 on the calculation of
earnings per share is not material for the three month and six month periods
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

8.  INCOME TAXES

           The Company recorded no income tax benefit relating to the net loss
for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, since a future
benefit was not assured. In 1997, the difference from the federal statutory
income tax rate of 34% resulted from a decrease in the reserve against certain
tax assets.

9.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Credit Agreement

           Effective July 15, 1997, the Company negotiated an amendment to its
credit agreement with a bank to (1) temporarily increase the revolving loan
commitment to $17 million, (2) modify the borrowing base and (3) modify certain
covenants. The Company may borrow up to $17 million for the period from July 15,
1997 through December 31, 1997. At all other times during the commitment period,
the revolving loan commitment may not exceed $15 million. During the commitment
period, the non-revolving equipment line of credit may not exceed $4 million.
The credit agreement is secured by the assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The credit agreement expires on June 30, 1999.

Lease agreement

           In July 1997, the Company entered into a ten year lease agreement
with Northwest Real Estate Carver, L.L.C., a Washington limited liability
company, for office and warehouse space located in Lynnwood, Washington. The
Company expects to consolidate its Washington operations into this new facility
in February 1998.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

           Net sales. Net sales increased to $16.3 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997 from $10.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. This
increase was primarily the result of (i) increased sales to retail channels
other than sunglass specialty (ii) sales of Timberland eyewear, introduced in
March 1997 and (iii) sales from the Company's Sungold and Private Eyes
acquisition in the 1997 second quarter. Sales from these new brands totaled $6.3
million. These increases were partially offset by significantly lower sales to
Sunglass Hut, the Company's largest customer.

           Gross profit. Gross profit increased to $10.3 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 from $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Gross
margin increased to 63.2% in the 1997 quarter from 57.5% in the 1996 quarter.
The increase in gross margin in 1997 was attributable, in part, to achieving
cost efficiencies in the production process and improvements in pricing due to
the growth and popularity of the Company's brands. In addition, the gross margin
improvement was attributable to reduced purchases by Sunglass Hut, which
receives higher volume discounts than the Company's other accounts. The
Company's sales to Sunglass Hut decreased to approximately 19% of the Company's
net sales in the 1997 quarter from 34% in the 1996 quarter.

           License income. License income increased to $222,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 from $133,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. This
increase was the result of an increase in the sales of licensed product.

           Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased to $8.4 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1997 from $8.2 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1996. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to 51.6% in the
1997 quarter from 77.4% in the 1996 quarter. Sales and marketing expenses
increased $2.8 million in the 1997 quarter, primarily as a result of the Sungold
and Private Eyes acquisitions and increased marketing expenditures to support
the Company's channel diversification strategy. As a percentage of net sales,
sales and marketing expenses increased to 33.0% in the 1997 quarter from 24.6%
in the 1996 quarter. General and administrative expenses increased $492,000 in
the 1997 quarter, primarily as a result of the Sungold and Private Eyes
acquisitions. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 9.8% in the 1997 quarter from 10.4% in the 1996 quarter. Shipping
and warehousing expenses increased $253,000 in the 1997 quarter, primarily as a
result of increased sales. As a percentage of net sales, shipping and
warehousing expenses decreased to 6.4% in the 1997 quarter from 7.5% in the 1996
quarter. Research and development expenses increased $201,000 in the 1997
quarter, primarily as a result of the Sungold and Private Eyes acquisitions, the
expansion of the Gargoyles and Hobie lines in 1997 and new Timberland products.
As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses were 2.4% and
1.9% in the second quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively. Operating expenses
for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 included a nonrecurring, noncash stock
compensation charge associated with a non-qualified stock option granted to an
officer of the Company.

           Income from operations. The Company's income from operations
increased to $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 from a loss of
($2.0) million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. As a percentage of net
sales, income from operations increased to 13.0% in the second quarter of 1997
from a loss of (18.7%) in the second quarter of 1996. Adjusted for the
nonrecurring, noncash stock compensation charge in the second quarter of 1996,
income from operations for the second quarter 1996 would have been $1.5 million
or 14.3% of net sales.

           Interest expense. Interest expense decreased to $500,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997 from $632,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.
The decrease resulted from the Company's use of the net proceeds from its
initial public offering in October 1996 to pay off outstanding debt during the
fourth quarter of 1996. During the first half of 1997, the Company has borrowed
$20 million to finance the acquisitions of Sungold and Private Eyes, and has
borrowed $7 million to support its seasonal cash flow needs.

           Income tax provision. The Company's income tax provision was $321,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to an income tax benefit of zero
for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Differences from the federal statutory
income tax rate of 34% resulted in 1997 from decreases in the reserve against
certain tax assets and in 1996 from increases in the reserve against certain tax
assets.

           Net income. As a result of the items discussed above, the Company's
net income was $1.3 million or $.17 per share for the quarter ended June 30,
1997 compared to a net loss of ($2.6) million or ($.46) per share for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

           Net sales. Net sales increased to $24.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 from $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
This increase was primarily the result of (i) increased sales to retail channels
other than sunglass specialty, (ii) sales of Timberland eyewear, introduced in
March 1997 (iii) and sales from the Company's Sungold and Private Eyes
acquisitions in the 1997 second quarter. Sales from these new brands totaled
$6.3 million. These increases were partially offset by significantly lower sales
to Sunglass Hut, the Company's largest customer.

           Gross profit. Gross profit increased to $15.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996. Gross margin increased to 62.9% in the 1997 period from 58.1% in the 1996
period. The increase in gross margin in 1997 was attributable, in part, to
improvements in pricing due to the growth and popularity of the Company's
brands. In addition, the gross margin improvement was attributable to reduced
purchases by Sunglass Hut, which receives higher volume discounts than the
Company's other accounts. The Company's sales to Sunglass Hut decreased to
approximately 19% of the Company's net sales in 1997 from 37% in 1996.

           License income. License income increased to $332,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from $294,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
This increase was the result of an increase in the licensed related product
sales.

           Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased to $13.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $12.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to
53.7% in the 1997 period from 68.0% in the 1996 period. Sales and marketing
expenses increased $3.2 million in the 1997 period, primarily as a result of the
acquisitions of Sungold and Private Eyes and increased marketing expenditures to
support the Company's channel diversification strategy. As a percentage of net
sales, sales and marketing expense increased to 33.4% in the 1997 period from
28.3% in the 1996 period. General and administrative expenses increased $680,000
in the 1997 period, primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Sungold and
Private Eyes. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 11.2% in the 1997 period from 11.8% in the 1996 period. Shipping
and warehousing expenses increased $384,000 in the 1997 period, primarily as a
result of increased sales. As a percentage of net sales, shipping and
warehousing expenses remained consistent at 6.0% in the 1997 and 1996 periods.
Research and development expenses increased $431,000 in the 1997 period,
primarily as a result of the 


                                       9


<PAGE>   12


acquisitions of Sungold and Private Eyes, expanding the Gargoyles and Hobie
lines and new Timberland products. As a percentage of net sales, research and
development expenses increased to 3.1% in the 1997 period from 1.9% in the 1996
period. Stock compensation expense for the period ended June 30, 1996 included a
nonrecurring, noncash stock compensation charge associated with a non-qualified
stock option granted to an officer of the Company.

           Income from operations. The Company's income from operations
increased to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from a loss of
($1.5) million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. As a percentage of net
sales, income from operations increased to 10.6% in the 1997 period from a loss
of (8.2%) in the 1996 period. Adjusted for the nonrecurring, noncash stock
compensation charge in the second quarter of 1996, income from operations would
have been $2.1 million or 11.8% of net sales.

           Interest expense. Net interest expense decreased to $473,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996. The decrease resulted from the Company's use of the net proceeds from
its initial public offering in October 1996 to pay off outstanding debt during
the fourth quarter of 1996. During the first half of 1997, the Company has
borrowed $20 million to finance the acquisitions of Sungold and Private Eyes,
and has borrowed $7 million to support its seasonal cash flow needs.

           Income tax provision. The Company's income tax provision was $428,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to an income tax benefit of zero
for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Differences from the federal statutory
income tax rate of 34% resulted in 1997 from decreases in the reserve against
certain tax assets and in 1996 from increases in the reserve against certain tax
assets.

           Net income. As a result of the items discussed above, the Company's
net income was $1.7 million or $.22 per share for the six months ended June 30,
1997 compared to a net loss of ($2.6) million or ($.46) per share for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

           Historically, the Company has relied primarily on cash from
operations and borrowings to finance its operations. Cash used in the Company's
operating activities, primarily to fund the growth in accounts receivable and
inventories, totaled $10.4 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Cash used in the Company's investing
activities, primarily to fund acquisitions and capital expenditures, totaled
$20.8 million and $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Cash provided by the Company's financing activities, primarily
proceeds from bank debt totaled $27.3 million and $7.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. As of June 30, 1997, the
Company had working capital of $22.5 million.

           Effective July 15, 1997, the Company negotiated an amendment to its
credit agreement with a bank to (1) temporarily increase the revolving loan
commitment to $17 million (2) modify the borrowing base and (3) modify certain
covenants. The Company may borrow up to $17 million for the period from July 15,
1997 through December 31, 1997. At all other times during the commitment period,
the revolving loan commitment may not exceed $15 million. During the commitment
period, the non-revolving equipment line of credit may not exceed $4 million.
The credit agreement, which expires on June 30, 1999, is secured by the assets
of the Company and its subsidiaries.


                                       10


<PAGE>   13

           The Company regularly evaluates acquisitions, investments and other
business opportunities and the cash expenditures related to such activities and
to unanticipated expenses which could create a need for additional financing.
There can be no assurance, however, that if required such financing would be
available on acceptable terms or at all.

           The Company's capital expenditures traditionally have included
optical molds and production and office equipment. Expenditures for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, totaled $1.2 million. The Company expects total
capital expenditures for 1997 to approximate $1.8 million. See "Forward-Looking
Statements."

           The Company presently believes that cash flow from operations and
available borrowings under its Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet its
operating needs and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. See
"Forward-Looking Statements."

SEASONALITY

           The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly data for
the periods show:


<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
             1997 Quarter Ended          1996 Quarter Ended

Gross profit      5.1      10.3      4.1      6.1      5.2      4.0
</TABLE>


           The Company's net sales generally have been higher in the period from
March to September, the period during which sunglass demands are highest. As a
result, operating income is typically lower in the first and fourth quarters as
fixed operating costs are spread over lower sales volume. In anticipation of
seasonal increases in demand, the Company typically builds inventories in the
first and fourth quarters, when net sales have historically been lower. The
Company also experiences higher accounts receivable during March through
September as a result of higher sales during this period. To date, this increase
in accounts receivable has not had a significant effect on the Company's
liquidity due to the Company's ability to borrow against these receivables under
its credit facilities. There can, however, be no assurance that this will
continue to be the case. See "Forward-Looking Statements." The Company's
quarterly results of operations have fluctuated in the past and may continue to
fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including seasonal cycles, the
timing of new product introductions, the timing of orders by the Company's
customers, the mix of product sales and the effects of weather conditions on
consumer purchases. See "Forward-Looking Statements."

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

           The Company was a party to a lawsuit filed on February 24, 1997, by
adidas America, Inc. ("Adidas") in the United States District Court for the
District of Oregon under Case Number CV-P7-239-JE, in which Adidas claimed
amounts in excess of $603,950 from the Company related to shipments of Adidas
product to Axcent Sports, Inc., a corporation which distributed Adidas bicycling
products from its headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. Defense of this lawsuit had
been tendered by the Company to Trillium Corporation ("Trillium") and the
Company's President, Douglas B. Hauff, pursuant to the terms of an indemnity
agreement. The lawsuit has been settled, and a settlement agreement was executed
by all parties to the litigation on July 14, 1997. Under the terms of the
settlement agreement, (i) Adidas released all claims against all defendants and
agreed to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, (ii) Trillium and Mr. Hauff,
jointly and severally, agreed to pay to Adidas the sum of $200,000, and (iii)
Adidas, the Company and defendant Conquest Sports, Inc. each assigned to
Trillium and Mr. Hauff their rights and claims against Axcent. The resolution of
this matter did not result in a charge to the Company in excess of amounts
reserved.

           On July 31, 1997, Michele J. Maulden and David B. Maulden, wife and
husband and their marital community, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the
Superior Court of Washington, for King County under Case No. 97-2-18776-1 KNT.
Ms Maulden is a former employee of the Company. In the lawsuit, Plaintiffs
allege wrongful termination, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional
distress and discrimination under various Washington laws and seek unspecified
amounts in damages. The Company has retained counsel to investigate the
allegations and intends to defend vigorously the employee's claim. Although this
matter is in its early stages, the Company presently believes the employee's
claims are not supported by the facts and circumstances of the employee's
employment or termination. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of
this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations
or financial position. See "Forward-Looking Statements."

           On November 22, 1996, the Company filed an action in the United
States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, under Case No.
96-12344RLC, against AEARO Corp., a Delaware corporation, alleging infringement
of the Company's toric curve lens patents in connection with a line of
protective eyewear being manufactured and sold by AEARO. AEARO has denied the
Company's allegations. The case is expected to be tried in November, 1997. The
Company's protective eyewear is currently sold primarily in the health-care
market and has recently been introduced in the industrial market. The Company
understands that AEARO's protective eyewear products are currently being sold
primarily in the industrial markets and have recently been introduced in the
health-care market. AEARO's protective eyewear products are currently sold at
prices significantly lower than the prices for the Company's protective eyewear
products. Because of AEARO's lower prices and its established distribution
network, if the Company loses its lawsuit against AEARO, the Company may not be
able to compete with AEARO's protective eyewear products. Net sales attributable
to the Company's protective eyewear division for the six months ended June 30,
1997, were $710,872 or 2.9% of net sales for that period.
