                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTS


To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Holdings BF SA
HOLDING BF SA
Les Leches Rouges
39360 Viry




In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations and stockholders' equity and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Holding BF SA and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 audit. We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS OF FRENCH FRANCS)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Holding BF SA and subsidiaries (the
"Group") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements of the Group
include only the subsidiaries and equity investments held on a legal entity
basis. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Holding BF SA and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (SNC Bolle
76 %, Bolle Protection Sarl 100 %, Bolle Production Sarl 88 %).

Business

The Holding BF SA and subsidiaries operates in one business segment and
manufactures and sells sunglasses, safety glasses, sport shields and ski
goggles. These products are manufactured in the Group's plant in Oyonnax, France
and through subcontractors and are sold to distributors or direct customers
located mainly in the United States and Europe.

Principles of Consolidation

All significant intercompany transactions, profits and accounts have been
eliminated in consolidation. Investments in companies in which the Group does
not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence are
accounted for by the equity method. Bolle Sunglasses Ltd and Bolle Canada Inc
are held by majority-owned subsidiaries of Holding BF SA, and therefore the
Group's ownership of each of these entities is 38 %, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon shipment or delivery of products with estimates
provided for returns based on historical experience.

(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS OF FRENCH FRANCS)

Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers

In the opinion of management, concentration of credit risk varies significantly
on a country-by-country basis. The Group sells to customers in twenty
countries, with the majority of sales to customers in the United States,
Europe, Australia and Canada.

Credit is generally extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial
condition and on-going relationship with the Group, and collateral is generally
not required. Credit risk is affected by conditions or occurrences in the local
economies and relative strength of the retail environment in each of the
countries where the Group's customers operate.  The Group establishes an
allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of
specific customers, historical trends and other information.

For the year ended December 31, 1996 one customer located in the United States
of America represented 28 % of the Group's net sales.

The Group sells its products to three related party distributors, Bolle UK,
Bolle Japan and Bolle Diffusion Sarl which are respectively 52 %, 30 % and 100
% owned by the shareholders of Holding BF S.A. The aggregate amount of sales to
these distributors represented 11 % of the Group's sales.

Foreign Currency Translation

For non-French subsidiaries which operate in a local currency environment,
assets and liabilities are translated into French Francs at year-end exchange
rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates prevailing
during the year. Translation adjustments for these subsidiaries are accumulated
in a separate component of Stockholders' Equity.

Foreign Currency Transactions

In the normal course of business, operations (mainly sales) of the Group are
exposed to fluctuations in currency values, and in particular to the US dollar.
The Group does not enter into any type of financial instrument with respect to
balance sheet exposure arising from foreign exchange risk.

HOLDING BF SA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS OF FRENCH FRANCS)

The Group, however, has entered into a series of agreements with a customer
providing a series of fixed exchange rates on the French franc/U.S. dollar
exchange rate for sales to that customer. Foreign currency transaction losses
amounting to FF 314 at December 31, 1996 are included with interest expense.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent investments with maturities of three months
or less from the time of purchase, and are carried at cost which approximates
fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Cash paid for
interest and income taxes was FF 1 232 and FF 7 852, respectively for the year
ended December 31, 1996.

Warranties

Certain sales which are subject to warranty against material defects. Potential
future warranty costs are provided for.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group evaluates the realizability of long-lived
assets based on expectations of undiscounted cash flows. Should this review
indicate that the cost of long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of
recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to
the asset's carrying amount to determine whether a write-down to market value
is required.

Pensions and post retirement indemnity

A provision is recorded for legal employees' lump sum termination indemnities.
These indemnities are due to employees which leave the Group at retirement age
(65) and depend upon the length of employees' service. The obligation, which is
not funded, is calculated using an actuarial method (discount rate of 6.19 %,
salary increase of 2.5 %) and takes into account staff turnover and mortality
statistics until retirement age. There are no other pensions, post-retirement
or post employment obligations to the company as such employee benefits are
provided by the French social security system.

(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS OF FRENCH FRANCS)

Research and Development

Research, development and engineering expenditures which amounted to FF 1,376
in 1996 are expensed as incurred.  Substantially all engineering and
development costs are related to developing new products or designing
significant improvements to existing products.

Income Taxes

Taxable income/loss of the various companies comprising the Group was included
in the tax returns of the appropriate taxable entity. Accordingly, consolidated
income tax returns were not prepared for the Group.

Deferred income taxes are provided on the difference in basis of assets and
liabilities between financial reporting and tax returns using enacted tax
rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when realization of deferred tax
assets is not assured.

Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries

Investments in more than 20 % owned affiliates are carried on the balance sheet
according to the equity method. Other investments are carried out at cost. A
reserve would be recorded if the cost exceeds fair value.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires Group management to make estimates and
assumptions that effect 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 these estimates.

Fair value

At December 31, 1996, the carrying value of financial instruments such as trade
receivables, accounts payable and short term debt approximated their fair
values based on the short term maturities of these instruments.

NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As disclosed in Note 1, the Group sells to related parties for which
transactions and balances have been, to the extent possible, disclosed under
the caption "related parties" in the statement of operations and on the balance
sheet (Bolle UK, Bolle Japan, Bolle Diffusion Sarl). Such transactions are
realized at conditions equivalent to those prevailing for unrelated parties.

As disclosed in Note 5, the Group borrows from certain stockholders (Bolle
family). Interest expense and balances are disclosed in the statement of
operations and on the balance sheet, respectively.

Certain stockholders of the Group own 100 % of RM Plastique Sarl, a company
with which the Group subcontracts certain assembly tasks. Services rendered by
RM Plastique Sarl, amounting to FF 1,385 for the year ended December 31, 1996,
are invoiced at cost on an arm's length basis.

The minority stockholders in SNC Bolle referred to in Note 8 are also the
majority stockholders of the Group.

Minority shareholders have a 24 % interest in SNC Bolle, a Group consolidated
subsidiary which form of incorporation provides for an allocation of pre-tax
income to minority shareholders in the period earnings are generated. Minority
interests in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996
include FF 8,011 relating to SNC Bolle.  This amount is on a pre-tax basis as
the related income tax is born directly by the minority stockholders (see note
7).



NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Group has various commitments to purchase materials and supplies as part of
the ordinary conduct of business. In the aggregate, such commitments are not at
prices in excess of current market.

The  Group is currently subject to a tax audit, the final conclusions of which
are not available. The Group is also subject to various risks with respect to
matters arising from the normal course of business. Accordingly, the Group has
recorded an incremental charge of FF 1,550 in connection with these matters in
1996.  Management believes that the probable resolution of such contingencies
will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of
the Group.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 9, 1997, a purchase agreement was signed whereby Bolle Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of BEC Group Inc.  acquired from the Bolle family,
shareholders of Holding BF SA, all of the shares of Holding BF SA and
subsidiaries.  Further, in connection with the purchase agreement, Holding BF
SA acquired the minority interests in SNC Bolle and all of the outstanding
stock of RM Plastiques Sarl prior to closing of the transaction.

A customer representing approximately 10 % of net trade sales in 1996 has
informed the Group that it may discontinue its relationship by the end of
September 1997.

The balance of the Bolle family debt (December 31, 1995 : FF 27,244, December
31, 1996 : FF 5,623 - see note 5 above) was reimbursed in 1997.

The purchase agreement stipulates that the land on which the building is
erected will be sold by the Bolle family for a contribution of FF 2,500. The
land has been leased since 1991 for an annual rental of FF 176.

                                BEC GROUP, INC.
                    PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to
the acquisition of BF Holding and related assets (the "Acquisition" of "Bolle
France") under the purchase method of accounting.  The pro forma combined
financial statements are based on the historical audited and unaudited interim
financial statements of BEC Group, Inc. ("BEC" or the "Company") and Bolle
France and the estimates and assumptions set forth below.

The audited financial statements of Bolle France for the year ended December
31, 1996 reflect the consolidation, on a legal basis, of BF Holding prior to
its acquisition by BEC.   The unaudited interim financial statements of Bolle
France as of and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 reflect the
consolidation of BF Holdings based upon ownership following BEC's acquisition.
Accordingly, the first column of pro forma adjustments to the statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 represents adjustments to
present the results on a consistent ownership basis with June 30, 1997 results
and with the ownership structure following the acquisition.

Pro forma adjustments are based upon preliminary estimates, available
information and certain assumptions that management deems appropriate.  The
unaudited pro forma combined financial information presented herein is not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position that
BEC would have obtained had such events occurred at the beginning of the
period, as assumed, or of the future results of the Company.  The pro forma
combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the other
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 and Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997, which are
incorporated herein by reference.
