ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATION

INTRODUCTION

     The Company was formed in April 1995 for the purpose of designing, 
sourcing and marketing the ACA JOE brand of men's casual sportswear, pursuant 
to an exclusive U.S. trademark license. The Company sources and designs the 
ACA JOE products through the use of sub-contractors and independent agents, 
which allows the Company to avoid the fixed overhead cost of maintaining its 
own production facilities.  The business strategy of the Company is primarily 
focused on reintroducing the ACA JOE products in the United States through 
national and regional advertising, marketing and customer service programs 
designed to promote the ACA JOE name and products.  Specifically, the Company 
is focusing its efforts on:  (1) expanding its distribution in the department 
store and retail men's specialty store categories; (2) developing targeted 
licensees in the accessories categories; (3) further developing its Quick 
Response Program for the basic apparel collection for better customers; and 
(4) developing alternative marketing techniques.  The Company introduced a 
boys' line similar in style to its men's line in April. The test has been 
expanded and the Company is now distributing its boys' line through 
department and specialty stores across the United States.  The Company uses 
independent sales representatives to sell both its men's and boys' lines.  
The Company is using the net proceeds of its August 1996 initial public 
offering (approximately $5,267,000) to implement its business strategy.

     During the development stage of the Company, the Company's primary 
activities have included product development and design, organizing the sales 
force, marketing, arranging for production sources, and the opening of a 
retail outlet store.  The costs of products sold includes design, selling, 
shipping, and general and administrative expenses.  To date, the Company has 
not capitalized development costs associated with the development of the ACA 
JOE products and has instead expensed all payroll and related costs for such 
development.  Design expenses consist of payments to sub-contractors for 
design and development of new product lines. Selling expenses consist 
primarily of salaries, commissions and administrative costs associated with 
the Company's payroll and marketing personnel.  General and administrative 
expenses include the costs of consultants and other administrative functions 
of the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

     The Company's operating expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 
were $1,596,353.  The $521,999 increase over the prior year period reflects 
an increase in selling, design and general and administrative expenses 
incident to the commencement of operations, specifically the selling and 
shipping of its ACA JOE products and the company's first major production 
introduction. During the nine months ended June 30, 


                                      7
<PAGE>

1997, net sales were $630,054, and cost of goods sold was $474,005.  While 
operating expenses were disproportionally large in relation to sales, 
management believes that if sales increase, design and general and 
administrative expenses will decline substantially as a percentage of sales.  
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will operate profitably 
in the future.


     The advertising expense in the period reflects primarily a monthly 
retainer paid to an advertising firm from December 1996 to March 1997.  This 
program has been discontinued for the present, in favor of co-operative 
advertising with retailers.  The $450,735 increase in general and 
administrative expenses over the prior period resulted primarily from 
expenses related to increased production and quality control, and increased 
administrative expenses due to the change in status from a private to a 
publicly-held company.

NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

     The Company began conducting business in August of 1995.  The Company's 
first shipment of product took place in February 1996.  Design expenses were 
incurred primarily to design the Company's initial line of ACA JOE products.  
The general and administrative expenses relate primarily to accounting, legal 
and consulting fees associated with the start-up expenditures of the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In September 1996, the Company realized net proceeds of approximately 
$5,267,000 from an initial public offering of common stock and warrants to 
purchase common stock.  A portion of these proceeds was used to repay all of 
the indebtedness then outstanding.

     The Company experienced losses from operations of $258,335 for the 
period from April 28, 1995 (inception) to September 30, 1995 and $1,826,928 
for the year ended September 30, 1996. The cumulative loss through June 30, 
1997 is $3,526,267, excluding a one-time preferred stock dividend of $51,645. 
Approximately $2,129,313 working capital was available at June 30, 1997.

     Sales of the Company s initial, Spring 1997 product line did not meet 
expectations.  To remedy this, the Company retained a new designer to create 
its Fall 1997 line, and retained an advertising firm to develop and implement 
a marketing program.  The Fall 1997 line experienced some degree of retailer 
acceptance.  However, sales of the Fall 1997 line have not met expectations.  
The Company has been considering a strategic combination with a branded 
apparel company, in order to provide more critical mass and to provide 
economies of sale.  A letter of intent has been signed to purchase the assets 
and assume the trade liabilities of Cotton Stuff, Inc., a privately-held 
manufacturer of men's and women's casual sportswear under the Cotton Stuff 
label; its 1996 sales were approximately $5 million.  Consummation of this 
transaction is subject to execution of a definitive purchase agreement and 
other conditions.  There can be no 


                                      8
<PAGE>


assurance that this proposed or any other such strategic combination will be 
consummated.

     In the event of unanticipated developments or to satisfy future funding 
requirements, the Company may seek to fund its operations through public or 
private offerings of securities, with collaborative or other arrangements 
with corporate partners or from other sources.  Additional financing may not 
be available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company.  If adequate 
financing is not available, the Company may be required to delay, scale back 
or eliminate certain of its development programs, to relinquish rights to 
certain of its products, or to license to third parties the right to 
commercialize products the Company would otherwise seek to develop itself.

     In November 1996, following a decline in the market price of the 
Company's common stock, the Board authorized the Company's purchase of up to 
150,000 shares of its common stock.  From December 1996 to March 1997, the 
Company purchased a total of 116,000 shares of its common stock in the open 
market at an average price of $1.26 per share (a total of $144,966).  
Management believes these purchases were in the interests of the Company and 
its shareholders, and will not affect the Company's ability to fund its 
business plan for the remainder of the current fiscal year.  This program has 
now been discontinued.
