ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company contracts for the manufacture of a variety of garments, primarily
basic women's sportswear which includes suits, skirts, blouses, blazers,
pants, shorts, vests and dresses, using assorted fabrics including rayons,
linens, cotton and wool. The Company arranges for the manufacture of garments
for customers under private labels selected by its customers. It markets its
products exclusively in the United States directly to large wholesalers
directly and indirectly to national retailers and buying organizations, and
directly to women's chain clothing stores and catalogues.
Substantially, all of the Company's garments are sold on a "package" basis
pursuant to which the Company markets at fixed prices finished garments to
the customer's specifications and quantity requirements, arranges for
production of the garments and delivers the garments directly to the customer
at the port of entry. In its marketing, the Company emphasizes these package
arrangements and what it believes to be the better quality and lower prices
of garments produced by skilled Macedonian workers as compared to lower paid
workers in certain other regions. See Item 1.
As a package provider, the Company sources and purchases fabrics and trims,
arranges for cutting and sewing, and coordinates any other services required
to provide a finished garment. Since the Company manufactures its finished
products only upon receipt of purchase orders from its wholesale and retail
customers, it therefore does not maintain an inventory of finished products.
The Company believes that in this way it minimizes the marketing and fashion
risk generally associated with the apparel industry. Fabrics and trims are
purchased from suppliers in China, India, Russia, Romania, Italy and the
United States. After dying the fabric, if necessary, the fabric and trim are
shipped to factories selected by the Company (primarily located in Macedonia)
where they are manufactured into finished garments under the Company's
management and quality control guidance. The finished products are then
shipped directly to New York City where the Company's customers claim the
goods either at the port in New York City or at a consolidating warehouse in
Astoria, New York.
Except for historical information contained herein, the matters set forth may
include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainty
that may cause actual results to differ materially. Such forward-looking
statements that may be contained in this document could include in particular
statements concerning business back-logs, operating efficiencies and
capacities, capital spending, and other expenses. Among other factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially are the following; dependence
upon unaffiliated manufacturers and fabric suppliers, dependence on certain
customers, foreign operations, competition, risks associated with significant
growth, uncertainties in apparel industry, general economic conditions,
seasonality, political instability, concentration of accounts receivable and
possible fluctuations in operating results
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage
relationship to net revenues of certain items in the Company's statements;

</TABLE>
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 ("1999") COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1998 ("1998")
SALES
Sales for 1999 were $8,219,114 which represented an increase of $32,258 or
0.4% over 1998 net sales of $8,186,856. The growth in sales was primarily
attributable to increased purchases by existing customers and from new
customers. Generally, the Company receives relatively small initial orders
from new customers. As the relationship with the customer continues, the
purchase orders often increase substantially. Net sales increases during the
period reflected these increased customer orders.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
Cost of goods sold in 1999 was $7,251,725 or 88.2% of sales, an increase of
$202,842 from $7,048,883 or 2.9% of sales in 1998. The increase in cost of
goods sold was primarily attributable to the increase in sales. The increase
in the percentage of cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to
increases in cost of materials and shipping expenses.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit was $967,389 for 1999, a decrease of $170,584 from $1,137,973
for 1998. The gross profit percentage was 11.8% in 1999, a decrease from
13.9% in 1998. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was primarily
attributable to increased cost of materials and shipping expenses.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $625,394 or 7.6%
of sales for 1999, an increase of $62,442 from $562,952 or 6.9% of sales for
1998. The increase in SG&A expense levels was primarily attributable to
payments related to sales commissions, salaries, factor charges and rent.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for 1999 was $41,353 compared to $10,161 for 1998. The
increase in interest was primarily attributable to the increase in the
utilization of existing financing vehicles.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes was $134,000 and $220,000 for 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the 1999 was
primarily attributable to decreased earnings.
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY
The Company has 575,000 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $7.50
per warrant expiring September 23, 2002. The Company has 50,000 underwriter
warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $14.40 per unit. Each unit
consists of two shares of the Company's common stock and one warrant as
described above. The Company does not know whether the warrants will be
exercised in 1999. Without exercise of those warrants, the Company may need
to limit its growth in order to more efficiently manage its available funds
and funds generated by operations.
It is the Company's intention, however, to utilize more fully and possibly
increase its existing line of credit with a major lending institution and its
credit facility arrangement with a New York factoring company. These measures
are required due to the significant cash requirements related to increases in
revenues.
The Company does not expect its historical rate of increase in sales growth
to continue and further expects its rate of growth to be lower in the future
as it begins to reach its full operating capacity constraints and utilization
of its existing capital resources. In the event the Company is able to obtain
additional equity capital through the exercise, if any, of its outstanding
warrants or other increases in potential working capital as mentioned above,
however, the Company believes that this new working capital may allow it to
grow more quickly.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since its formation, the Company has financed its operations and met its
capital requirements primarily through cash flows from operations, customer
advances, from principals, credit facilities, bridge loans, a private
placement and its IPO.
The initial use of IPO funds was to repay certain debt and to purchase raw
materials, for working capital and the eventual purchase of wool
manufacturing equipment. The Company's primary need for cash is for working
capital purposes. The Company may raise capital through the issuance of
long-term or short-term debt, or the issuance of securities in private or
public transactions to fund future expansion of its business. There can be no
assurance that acceptable financing for future transactions can be obtained.
INFLATION
The Company does not anticipate a significant increase in inflation in the
United States over the short-term. All of the Company's transactions
worldwide are conducted on a dollar-denominated basis which is intended to
mitigate the possible impact of volatile currencies that may arise as a
result of global corporations crowding emerging markets in search of growth.
SEASONALITY
The Company's revenues and operating results have exhibited some degree of
seasonality in past periods.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Many computer systems in use today were designed and developed using two
digits, rather than four, to specify the year. As a result, such systems will
recognize the year 2000 as "00". This could cause many computer applications
to fail completely or to create erroneous results unless corrective measures
are taken. The Company currently uses software and related computer
technologies essential to its operations that the Company believes will not
be affected by the year 2000 issue.
<PAGE>
The Company, however, can not determine the extent to which its vendors and
customers may or may not be affected by the year 2000 issue. The Company is
in the process of implementing a plan to obtain information from its external
service providers, significant suppliers and customers, and financial
institutions to confirm their plans and readiness to become Year 2000
compliant, in order to better understand and evaluate how their Year 2000
issues may affect the Company's operations. The Company currently is not in a
position to assess this aspect of the Year 2000 issue. The Company intends
over the next 2 years to establish relationships with customers that may
require the use of EDI (electronic data interchange) whereby all invoicing
and payments will take place electronically over the internet through
computers. The Company believes that since these prospective customers
already utilize EDI, that they either have in place now, or will have
successfully taken whatever steps are necessary to solve the year 2000 issue.
While the Company believes that its own internal assessment and planning
efforts with respect to external service providers, suppliers, customers and
financial institutions are and will be adequate to address its Year 2000
concerns there can be no assurance that these efforts will successful or will
not have a material adverse affect on the Company's operations.
