Net sales to external customers are classified based on the location of the
customers. Transfers between geographic areas are recorded at amounts generally
above cost and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the respective
governing tax authorities. Segment assets of geographic areas are those assets
used in the Company's operations in each area.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, no single
customer contributed more than 10% of the Company's net sales.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Bolle Inc. is a vertically integrated designer, manufacturer and marketer of
Bolle(R) branded eyewear, including Bolle(R) premium sunglasses, goggles and
tactical and safety eyewear. The Company became a publicly listed corporation
upon the spinoff ("Spinoff") on March 11, 1998 by Lumen Technologies, Inc.
("Lumen") of the interest held by Lumen in the Company. In conjunction with the
Spinoff, the Company executed certain agreements with Lumen, including the
Contribution Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement (the "Agreements"),
which (i) transferred to the Company all of the business, assets and liabilities
of Lumen other than those relating to the conduct of Lumen's retained
operations; (ii) capitalized $17 million of the Company's indebtedness to Lumen;
and, (iii) obligated the Company to assume and to pay when and as due all
liabilities and taxes in respect of the assets and liabilities conveyed to it by
Lumen, as well as in respect of certain assets and liabilities retained by
Lumen.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998

Net sales increased to $16.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999
from $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $3.1
million, or 21.9%. This increase was primarily the result of strong sales of our
Action Sport, Snakes, and Metals collections.

Gross profit increased to $9.8 million, or 58.4% of net sales, for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from $7.8 million, or 56.9% of net sales, for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $2.0 million, or 25.0%. Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales increased primarily due to a higher
proportion of company-owned distributor sales, as well as a change in the sales
mix to higher margin product.

Sales and marketing expenses increased to $4.0 million, or 23.8% of net sales,
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $3.3 million, or 24.0% of net
sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $0.7 million, or
20.5%. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was the result of increases
in variable expenses such as commissions and higher advertising and related
marketing expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased to $3.9 million, or 23.4% of net
sales, for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $2.9 million, or 21.4% of
net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $1.0 million,
or 33.3%. The increase in general and administrative expenses was the result of
increased personnel costs and related expenses, primarily in Europe.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $0.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 19.6%. The decrease in depreciation and
amortization expense is attributable to the write-down of certain intangible
assets in the fourth quarter of 1998.

Interest expense increased to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999 from $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of
$0.1 million, or 15.8%. Interest expense relates primarily to the Company's bank
indebtedness and zero coupon convertible subordinated notes. The increase in
interest expense is primarily due to imputed interest on the zero coupon
convertible subordinated notes, which were issued in June 1998.

Other income decreased to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999
from $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of $0.1
million, or 20.2%. Other income in 1999 consists primarily of foreign exchange
gains realized as the French Franc exchange rate weakened against the U.S.
Dollar while foreign exchange income was not significant in 1998. The decrease
in other income was due to the sale of Eyecare Products, plc., whose equity
income from the Company's investment was included in other income, during 1998.

The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter of 1999 was 39%. For the
second quarter of 1998, the effective tax rate was 38%.

Net income increased to $0.8 million, or 4.5% of net sales, for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from $0.6 million, or 4.1% of net sales for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $0.2 million, or 34.8%, over the comparable
1998 quarter.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998

Net sales increased to $31.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from
$24.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $6.9
million, or 28.4%. This increase was primarily the result of strong sales of our
Action Sport, Snakes, and Metals collections. In addition, the results for the
period ending June 30, 1998 include our Australian, Canadian, and United Kingdom
operations since their acquisition effective April 1, 1998. Due to seasonality,
Australia contributes less to sales during the first and second quarters.

Gross profit increased to $17.7 million, or 56.2% of net sales, for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from $13.3 million, or 54.2% of net sales, for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $4.4 million, or 33.2%. Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales increased primarily due to a higher
proportion of company-owned distributor sales, as well as a change in the sales
mix to higher margin product.

Sales and marketing expenses increased to $7.3 million, or 23.1% of net sales,
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $5.6 million, or 23.0% of net sales
for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $1.7 million, or 28.8%.
The increase in sales and marketing expenses was the result of the addition of
the Company's Australian, Canadian, and United Kingdom acquisitions and related
increases in selling expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased to $7.7 million, or 24.6% of net
sales, for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $5.3 million, or 21.5% of net
sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $2.4 million, or
46.5%. The increase in general and administrative expenses was the result of the
addition of the Company's Australian, Canadian, and United Kingdom acquisitions,
as well as increased personnel costs and related expenses, primarily in Europe.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $1.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 20.2%. The decrease in depreciation and
amortization expense is attributable to the write-down of certain intangible
assets in the fourth quarter of 1998.

Interest expense remained relatively constant at $0.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Interest expense relates primarily to the Company's bank indebtedness.

Other income increased to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999
from $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of $0.1
million, or 8.8%. Other income in 1999 consists primarily of foreign exchange
gains realized as the French Franc exchange rate weakened against the U.S.
Dollar. Additionally, other income in 1998 included equity income from the
Company's investment in Eyecare Products, plc., which was sold in the first
quarter of this year.

The Company's effective tax rate for the first half of 1999 was 39%. For the
first half of 1998, the effective tax rate was 38%.

Net income increased to $1.0 million, or 3.2% of net sales, for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 from $0.6 million, or 2.4% of net sales for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $0.4 million, or 73.3%, over the comparable
1998 quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities of $1.9 million represents net income in
addition to increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by
increases in inventory and accounts receivable. Depreciation and amortization
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $1.2 million compared to $1.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998, reflecting the acquisition of Bolle
Australia offset by the write-down of certain intangible assets in the fourth
quarter of 1998. Proceeds from the sale of assets of $4.9 million consisted
primarily of the proceeds from the sale of the Company's investment in Eyecare
Products, plc. Such proceeds were used to pay down $3.0 million of the term loan
and a portion of the revolver of the Credit Agreement. Capital expenditures for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $1.0 million. These expenditures were
primarily attributable to factory improvements and the expansion of the
Company's information technology capabilities. The Company expects that the
Credit Agreement along with cash from operations will be sufficient to meet its
normal operating requirements for the foreseeable future.


IMPORTANT FACTORS RELATING TO FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained herein that relate to the Company's future performance,
including, without limitation, statements with respect to the Company's
anticipated results for any portion of 1999, shall be deemed forward looking
statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A number of factors affecting the Company's
business and operations could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contemplated by the forward looking statements. Those factors include, but
are not limited to, demand and competition for the Company's products, changes
in consumer preferences on fashion trends, and changes in the Company's
relationship with its suppliers and other resources. The forward looking
statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were prepared by
management and have not been audited by, examined by, compiled by or subject to
agreed-upon procedures by independent accountants, and no third party has
independently verified or reviewed such statements. Readers of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q should consider these facts in evaluating the information
and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements
contained herein.

OTHER MATTERS

The Company utilizes software and related technologies throughout its businesses
that may be affected by the Year 2000 problem, which is common to most
corporations. The Company is addressing the effect of the potential Year 2000
problem on all of its critical systems and with all of its critical vendors and
customers. Specifically, critical information systems throughout the Company are
Year 2000 compliant. No extra costs were incurred in obtaining this compliance.
Bolle France is in the process of implementing its first integrated
manufacturing software for which implementation is not yet complete. The system
being implemented in France is Year 2000 compliant, and the Year 2000 issues
will not affect the current processes in place. Through discussions with vendors
and customers, the Company has determined that no critical business areas will
be adversely affected by Year 2000 issues, but continues to work with its
vendors and customers to ensure a smooth transition. Based on the above, no
contingency plan is considered necessary and management believes that any costs
and risks related to Year 2000 compliance will not have a material adverse
impact on the liquidity or financial position of the Company.

SEASONALITY AND CYCLICAL RESULTS

The Company's sunglass business is seasonal in nature, with the second quarter
typically having the highest sales due to the increased demand for sunglasses
during that period. The Australian sunglass market is counter-cyclical in
comparison to the North American and European sunglass markets and typically
experiences higher sunglass sales in the third and fourth quarters. The
Company's goggle business is seasonal in nature with the third quarter having
the highest sales due to the increased demand for goggles prior to the ski
season. This seasonality is partially offset by safety eyewear sales worldwide.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Approximately $9.7 million and $18.5 million of the Company's revenues for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, and $66.2 million of its
total assets including trademarks, goodwill and other intangibles totaling $34.7
million as of June 30, 1999 were denominated in foreign currencies.
Approximately $7.5 million of indebtedness at June 30, 1999 was denominated in
French Francs bearing interest at variable rates based upon the French Franc
LIBOR rate. The Company may from time to time enter into forward or option
contracts to hedge the related foreign exchange risks. The Company does not
enter into market risk sensitive transactions for trading or speculative
purposes.

The Company's earnings are affected by changes in short-term interest rates as a
result of its entering into a $28 million credit facility in March 1998. If
market interest rates used for determining the interest rate under the facility
averaged 2% more during the first six months of 1999, the Company's interest
expense, would have increased by approximately $330,000 and $751,000,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999. These amounts
are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on
the Company's borrowing cost. These analyses do not consider the effects of the
reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an
environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, management
would likely take actions to further mitigate its exposure to the change.
However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and
their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in the
Company's financial structure.

Our earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as
compared to certain foreign currencies. In particular, our earnings are affected
by fluctuations in the French Franc, due to intercompany and bank borrowings
denominated in French Francs and the consolidation of French Franc earnings from
our manufacturing facility. At June 30, 1999, the result of a uniform 10%
strengthening in the value of the dollar relative to the French Franc would have
resulted in a decrease in gross profit of approximately $270,000 for the six
month period ended June 30, 1999. This calculation assumes that each exchange
rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition
to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates, which are a changed dollar
value of the resulting sales, changes in exchange rates also affect the volume
of sales or the foreign currency sales price as competitors' products become
more or less attractive. The Company's sensitivity analysis of the effects of
changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change
in sales levels or local currency prices.
