BILL BASS OPTICAL PTY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
31 DECEMBER 1997



1.        STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

This special purpose financial report has been prepared for Bolle Inc for
filing with the United States of America's Securities and Exchange Commission.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of this report, as described
below, are consistent with previous periods, and are, in the opinion of the
directors appropriate to meet the needs of Bolle Inc.

By virtue of Statement of Accounting Concepts 1 (SAC 1) the requirements of
Accounting Standards issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and
other professional reporting requirements do not have mandatory applicability
to Bill Bass Optical Pty Limited in relation to the 6 months ended 31 December
1997 because the directors have determined that the company and the economic
entity are not reporting entities. However, the directors have determined that
in order for the financial statements to present fairly the consolidated
results of operations and state of affairs, the requirements of Accounting
Standards and other professional reporting requirements have been complied
with, with the exception of the presentation of parent entity financial
information and the following:

- -AAS22:    Related Party Transactions
- -AAS22:    Statement of Cash Flows

These accounting principles differ in certain significant respect from
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (refer
Note 22: Differences between Australian and United States Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles)


FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Translation of foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies of entities within the economic entity are
converted to local currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the
transaction.

Amounts payable to and by the entities within the economic entity that are
outstanding at the balance date and are denominated in foreign currencies have
been concerted to local currency using rates of exchange ruling at the end of
the financial year.


                                       7
<PAGE>





All resulting exchange differences arising on settlement or re-statement are
brought to account in determining the profit or loss for the financial year,
and transaction costs, premiums and discounts on forward exchange contracts are
deferred and amortised over the life of the contract.

Translation of accounts of overseas operations

All overseas operations are deemed self-sustaining as each is financially and
operationally independent of Bill Bass Optical Pty Ltd. The accounts of
overseas operations are translated using the current rate method and any
exchange differences are taken directly to the foreign currency translation
reserve component of shareholders' equity.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition
are accounted for as follows:

  o  Raw materials - purchase cost on a first-in-first-out basis; and
  o  Finished goods and work-in-progress - cost of direct material and labour
     and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating
     capacity.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Cost and Valuation

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on a reducing balance basis on all plant and
equipment other than land & buildings at rates calculated to allocate the cost
less estimated residual value at the end of the useful lives of the assets,
against revenue over those estimated useful lives.

RECOVERABLE AMOUNT

Non-current assets are not revalued to an amount above their recoverable
amount, and where carrying values exceed this recoverable amount assets are
written down. In determining recoverable amount the expected net cash flows
have been discounted to their present value using a market determined risk
adjusted discount rate.



                                       8
<PAGE>




INTANGIBLES

Goodwill

Goodwill is amortised by the straight line method over the period during which
benefits are expected to be received. This is taken as being 20 years.

INVESTMENTS

Non-current investments are carried at the lower of cost and recoverable
amount.

21.       SEGMENT INFORMATION

The economic entity operates predominantly in the one industry segment, namely
wholesaler of sunglasses, clothing and accessories.

22.       DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AUSTRALIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED
          ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

          United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP")
          require certain additional financial statement disclosures beyond
          those required by accounting principles generally accepted in
          Australia ("Australian GAAP"). These additional disclosures have not
          been included in the notes to financial statements as they are not
          required in financial statements of foreign businesses prepared in
          accordance with Item 17 of Form 20-F. With respect to the Company's
          financial statements there are no material measurement differences
          between Australian accounting standards issued by the Australian
          Accounting Standards Board and other professional reporting
          requirements and US GAAP.
