         UNITED MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Consolidated net sales of United Merchants and Manufacturers, Inc. 
("UM&M" or the "Company") increased by $958,000 and $3,513,000 in the 
quarter and six months ended December 31, 1994, respectively, as compared 
to last year's second fiscal quarter and first six months, which have been 
restated to report separately the results of continuing and discontinued 
operations.  The increase in net sales in the current year's three and six 
months, as compared to the same periods last year, is the result of 
increased sales of 32% and 33%, respectively, of the Apparel and 
Accessories segment's costume jewelry operation, which more than offset 
decreased sales of that segment's retail outlet store operation.  As 
discussed below, the retail outlet store operation was sold in January 
1995.  The increases in the sales of the costume jewelry operation reflect 
increased volume for all branded label merchandise as well as all current 
private label lines plus the expansion of the operation's private label 
business into new markets.

     For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1994, the Company 
reported operating losses of $2,832,000 and $3,240,000, respectively, as 
compared to operating losses of $3,844,000 and $4,349,000, respectively, 
for the same periods last year.  Operating results for this year's quarter 
and six-month period include operating losses of the Apparel and 
Accessories segment's retail outlet store operation of $855,000 and 
$1,216,000, respectively, as compared to operating losses of $580,000 and 
$673,000, respectively, in last year's quarter and six months.  Operating 
results for the current year's quarter and six months also include a 
provision of $500,000 for operating losses of the retail stores from 
December 31, 1994 to the date of sale.  The Apparel and Accessories 
segment's costume jewelry operation reported operating earnings in the 
quarter and six months ended December 31, 1994, as compared to operating 
losses in the same periods last year, primarily as the result of the 
increased volume referred to above, improved gross profit margins 
reflecting increased absorption of manufacturing and distribution overhead 
and improved purchasing procedures and sourcing and decreases, as a 
percentage of net sales, in selling, general and administrative expenses. 

     Interest expense decreased by $218,000 and $579,000 in the current 
year's quarter and six months from the same periods last year.  The 
positive impact of significantly reduced average borrowings during the 
current year's periods was offset to a large extent by a higher borrowing 
rate.

     Loss from continuing operations for the three and six months ended 
December 31, 1994 includes a provision for a non-recurring, non-cash loss 
of $835,000 on the sale of the Company's retail outlet store operation.  




                                     4


<PAGE>
     Net earnings of discontinued operations for the current year's first 
fiscal quarter amounted to $43,000 as compared to net earnings of 
$2,085,000 during last year's comparable quarter.  During the first six 
months of the current fiscal year, the Company reported losses from 
discontinued operations of $532,000 as compared to earnings of $3,684,000 
in last year's first six months.  Net results for the current year's 
quarter and six months are after a provision for a non-recurring loss on 
the termination of the Company's Apparel Textiles segment of $7,900,000, 
including estimated losses from operations from December 31, 1994 through 
the shutdown date, of which approximately $5,200,000 represents a non-cash 
loss.  See Note B of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for 
discussion of discontinued operations.

     The net results for the six months ended December 31, 1993 include an 
extraordinary, non-cash charge of $15,303,000 representing the cumulative 
effect of a change in accounting principle for post retirement benefits 
other than pensions.  See Note C of Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements for further discussion of this change.

                      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During recent years and for the six months ended December 31, 1994, 
the Company has incurred significant losses from operations and as of 
December 31, 1994 has a stockholders' equity deficit.  As discussed in the 
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company reduced its senior debt 
as of June 30, 1994 and refinanced the remainder at higher interest 
rates.  While this was a substantial, positive development for the 
Company, as of June 30, 1994, the Company's independent auditors' report 
stated that recurring losses from operations, net deficiency in 
stockholders' equity and the significant debt owed by the Company raise 
substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going 
concern.  The Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming 
that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any 
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  As 
also discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, in the future, 
the Company's strategy is to continue to pay down part of its debt through 
the sale of certain assets and to refinance the remainder at more 
beneficial terms.  The Company cannot continue to operate under the terms 
of its present agreements, particularly the high interest rate, with its 
current lender other than on a very short-term basis.  Therefore, the 
Company is aggressively exploring alternative financing methods in order 
to repay the current lender.  Such alternative financing arrangements may 
include borrowing from another financial institution at reasonable market 
terms, the sale of stock by a subsidiary or a combination of both.  There 
can be no assurance that such refinancing is available.

     In addition, the Company has taken steps toward establishing, through 
a subsidiary, a reinsurance business.  Subject to completion of certain 
financing and administrative agreements, including the refinancing of debt 
referred to above, this subsidiary plans to acquire certain types of 
existing life insurance policies and other long-term annuity contracts 
from mainly life insurance companies.  Over a period of time, the Company 
is hopeful that it will generate profits and positive cash flow as it 
services these policies.  There can be no assurances that the Company will 
succeed in establishing a profitable insurance business.
                                             
                                     5

<PAGE>
     During the first six months of fiscal 1996, the Company depended on 
borrowings to finance its operations.  The amounts which the Company 
borrows under its revolving loan agreements fluctuate based on the 
Company's cash availability or requirements.

     The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its 10% 
Cumulative Preferred Stock in order to retain its available cash for use 
in its operations.

         UNITED MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements 
of United Merchants and Manufacturers, Inc. ("UM&M" or the "Company") and 
its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the 
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, 
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by 
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial 
statements.  Subsequent to December 31, 1993, the Company sold two 
significant operations and closed another (see Note B below).  
Accordingly, the financial statements for the three and six months ended 
December 31, 1993 have been restated to report separately the results of 
continuing and discontinued operations.  In the opinion of management, all 
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary 
for a fair presentation have been included.  The results of operations of 
interim periods are subject to year-end audit and adjustments and are not 
necessarily indicative of the results of operations of the fiscal year.  
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements 
and footnotes included thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended June 30, 1994.

Liquidity - During each of the three years ended June 30, 1994 and for the 
current three and six months, the Company has incurred significant losses 
from operations and as of December 31, 1994 has a stockholders' equity 
deficit.  As discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, the 
Company refinanced its senior debt as of June 30, 1994 and thereby reduced 
the total indebtedness of the Company.  While this was a substantial, 
positive development for the Company, as of June 30, 1994, the Company's 
independent auditors' report stated that the recurring losses from 
operations, net deficiency in stockholders' equity and the significant 
debt owed by the Company raise substantial doubt as to the Company's 
ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial 
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a 
going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from 
the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE B - DISPOSITIONS OF CERTAIN OPERATIONS

Sale of Portion of Accessories and Apparel Segment:

In January 1995, the Company sold the retail outlet store operations of 
its Accessories and Apparel segment for cash and the assumption by the 
buyer of certain of the operation's liabilities.  The financial statements 
presented herein include the results of the retail outlet store operations 
through December 31, 1994.  During the quarter ended December 31, 1994, 
the Company recognized a loss of $1.3 million for the sale and the loss 

                                     9

<PAGE>


from operations from December 31, 1994 to date of sale.  For the three and 
six months ended December 31, 1994, net sales of these operations were 
$4.3 million and $9.8 million and operating loss was $0.9 million and 
$1.2 million, respectively.  For the three and six months ended December 
31, 1993, net sales of these operations were $6.4 million and $13.2 
million and operating loss was $0.6 million and $0.7 million, 
respectively.  

Discontinued Operations:

In December 1994, the Company announced that it would close its Buffalo 
Mill division, which was its Apparel Textiles segment, on or about 
February 17, 1995.  The Company has made a provision for losses of 
$7.9 million for the closing and ongoing costs of the division.  

During the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the Company sold substantially all 
of the assets (other than accounts receivable) and business, as a going 
concern, of its Clarkesville Mill operations.  The sale resulted in a gain 
of approximately $3.2 million.  Also during the quarter, the Company 
determined that the non-cash proceeds from the sale of two operations in 
fiscal 1993 were uncollectable and, therefore, recognized a loss on sale 
of those operations of $5.1 million.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1994, the Company sold substantially 
all of the assets (other than accounts receivable) and business, as a 
going concern, of its Uniblend operation.  The sale resulted in a gain of 
approximately $5.1 million.  

The proceeds from the two sale transactions, together with the collection 
of the accounts receivable of all three of the discontinued operations 
mentioned above, were or will be used to reduce the Company's indebtedness.

The financial statements and notes thereto presented herein have been 
restated to reflect the three discontinued operations as such.  For the 
three and six months ended December 31, 1994, net sales of the Apparel 
Textile segment were $8.9 million and $15.3 million and operating income 
(loss) was $0.1 million and ($0.5) million, respectively.  For the three 
and six months ended December 31, 1993, net sales of the three operations 
were $27.9 million and $56.5 million and operating income was $1.3 million 
and $2.6 million, respectively.  

NOTE C - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE FOR POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER
          THAN PENSIONS

Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement 
Benefits Other Than Pensions".  The statement requires accrual of the cost 
of providing postretirement benefits, including medical and life insurance 
coverage, during the active service period of the employee rather than the 
pay-as-you-go (cash) basis which the company used prior to adoption.  The 
company elected to immediately recognize the accumulated postretirement 

                                    10

<PAGE>


benefit obligation equal to the discounted present value of expected 
future benefit payments attributed to employees service rendered prior to 
July 1, 1993.  This resulted in a one-time, non-cash charge against 
earnings of $15.3 million as of July 1, 1993.  

NOTE D - INCOME TAXES

The provisions for income taxes for the three and six months ended 
December 31, 1994 and 1993 varied from the expected relationship to loss 
before income taxes since the operating losses did not result in income 
tax benefits.  The provisions consist of amounts for state and local 
income taxes.

NOTE E - DIVIDENDS APPLICABLE TO PREFERRED STOCK

The Company has not declared nor paid any cash dividends on its 10% 
Cumulative Preferred Stock in order to retain its available cash for use 
in its operations. For financial statement purposes, cumulative preferred 
dividends are deducted from the results of operations in determining 
earnings applicable to common shares whether or not such dividends are 
declared or paid.

NOTE F - LONG-TERM DEBT   

Long-term debt consists of the following:

requirements.  The secured promissory notes and revolving loans are 
secured by substantially all of the Company's assets.
