NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for reporting on
Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure required for
complete financial statements are not included herein. It is recommended that
these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes of AAi.FosterGrant, Inc. (the "Company"
or "AAi") for the year ended January 2, 1999 as reported in the Company's 10-K
filed with the SEC on April 2, 1999. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash
flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The
consolidated condensed balance sheet presented as of January 2, 1999 has been
derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been audited by the
Company's independent public accountants. The results of operations for the
period ended October 2, 1999 may not be indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending January 1, 2000, or for any other future period.
(b) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales, net of estimated agreed
upon future allowances and anticipated returns and discounts, taking into
account historical experience, upon shipment to the customer.
(c) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
and consist of the following at January 2, 1999 and October 2, 1999 (in
thousands):

</TABLE>
(d) Customer Acquisition Costs
The Company incurs direct and incremental costs in connection with the
acquisition of certain new customers and new store locations from existing
customers under multi-year agreements. The Company may also receive the previous
vendor's merchandise from the customer in connection with these agreements. In
these situations, the Company values this inventory at its fair market value,
representing the lower of cost or net realizable value, and records that value
as inventory. The Company sells this inventory through various liquidation
channels. Except as provided below, the excess costs over the fair market value
of the inventory received is charged to selling expense when incurred. The
Company expensed customer acquisition costs of approximately $1.2 million and
$1.7 million, and $92,000 and $464,000 for the three and nine months ended
October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999, respectively.
The excess costs over the fair market value of the inventory received is
capitalized as deferred costs and amortized over the agreement period if the
Company enters into a minimum purchase agreement with the customer from which
the estimated gross profits from future minimum sales during the term of the
agreement are sufficient to recover the amount of the deferred costs. During the
three and nine months ended October 2, 1999, the Company capitalized
approximately $49,000 and $155,000 of these costs, respectively, in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Amortization expense for the three
months and nine months ended October 2, 1999 related to these costs as well as
previously capitalized costs was approximately $306,000 and $903,000,
respectively. No such cost were capitalized or amortized during the first nine
months ended October 3, 1998.

Note 2 - Acquisitions
In June 1998, the Company acquired an 80% interest in Fantasma, LLC
(Fantasma) for approximately $4.1 million in cash. The remaining 20% interest in
Fantasma was held by a previous member of Fantasma. As a result of the
termination of the employment of this member, in April 1999, the Company
acquired this 20% interest effective September 1, 1999. Accordingly, the Company
currently holds 100% of the Fantasma member interests. This previous member has
filed a lawsuit asserting that his termination was wrongful and the Company has
asserted counterclaims related to the Fantasma acquisition. The Company does not
believe this litigation is material to its results of operations or financial
condition. Another employee of Fantasma has options to acquire up to a 2%
interest if certain earnings targets for Fantasma are met in 1999 and 2000. As
of October 2, 1999, the exercise price of the options to purchase member
interests of Fantasma was equal to or greater than the fair market value;
therefore no expense was recorded. Fantasma is a marketer and distributor of
watches and clocks.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method; accordingly,
the results of operations of Fantasma from the date of acquisition are included
in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The purchase price was
allocated based on estimated fair market value of assets and liabilities at the
date of acquisition. In connection with the purchase price allocation, the
Company recorded goodwill of approximately $4.6 million, which is being
amortized ratably over 10 years.
In March 1998, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of
Eyecare Products UK Ltd. (Foster Grant UK), including the Foster Grant trademark
in territories not previously owned, for approximately $5.5 million in cash.
Foster Grant UK is a marketer and distributor of sunglasses and reading glasses
in Europe. The purchase price may be increased by approximately $700,000 based
on Foster Grant UK performance in 1998 and 1999. Based on activity to date,
there has been no increase in the purchase price.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting; accordingly, the results of operation of Foster Grant UK from the
date of acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated statements of
operations. The purchase price was allocated based on estimated fair values of
assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. In connection with the
purchase price allocation, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately $1.1
million, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.
The following unaudited proforma summary information presents the combined
results of operations of the Company, Fantasma and Foster Grant UK as if the
acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 1998. This unaudited proforma
financial information is presented for informational purposes only and may not
be indicative of the results of operations as they would have been if the
Company, Fantasma and Foster Grant UK had been a single entity nor is it
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may occur in the
future. Anticipated efficiencies from the consolidation of the Company, Fantasma
and Foster Grant UK have been excluded from the amounts in the unaudited pro
forma summary presented below.

Note 3 - Long-Term Obligations
On July 21, 1998, the Company sold $75.0 million of 10 3/4% Senior Series A
Notes due 2006 (the Notes) through a Rule 144A offering. The net proceeds of
approximately $71.3 million received by the Company from the issuance and sale
of the Notes were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the credit
facility with a bank and the Subordinated Promissory Notes to shareholders, net
of amounts due the Company from certain of these shareholders. The Company
incurred issuance costs of approximately $3.7 million in relation to the Notes.
These costs are being amortized over the life of the Notes and are included in
other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In December 1998
the Notes were exchanged for 10 3/4 % Series B Notes due 2006 registered with
the SEC. Interest on the Series B Notes is payable semiannually on January 15
and July 15.

AAI.FOSTERGRANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, rank senior in
right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness of the Company and rank
pari passu in right of payment to all existing and future unsubordinated
indebtedness of the Company including the bank credit facility. The bank credit
facility is secured by accounts receivable and inventory of the Company and its
domestic subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company's obligations under the bank
credit facility will effectively rank senior in right of payment to the Notes to
the extent of the assets subject to such security interest. The Notes are fully
and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each of the
Company's current and future Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined) (the
Guarantors). The Indenture under which the Notes were issued (the Indenture)
imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company, and its subsidiaries
to, among other things, incur indebtedness, pay dividends, prepay subordinated
indebtedness, repurchase capital stock, make investments, create liens, engage
in transactions with shareholders and affiliates, sell assets and engage in
mergers and consolidations. At October 2, 1999, management believes the Company
was in compliance with these covenants.
The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part,
on or after July 15, 2002 at various redemption prices, declining from 105.375%
of the principal amount to par on and after July 15, 2004. In addition, on or
prior to July 15, 2001, the Company may use the net cash proceeds of one or more
equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes originally issued at a redemption price of 110.750% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. Upon a change of
control, each Note holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase
such holder's Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount plus
accrued interest.
Note 4 - Earnings Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share was determined by
dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share was determined by dividing net loss by
diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average shares
reflect the dilutive effect, if any, of common stock options based on the
treasury stock method. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding excludes all
12,000 and 43,350 common equivalent shares at October 3, 1998 and October 2,
1999, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Note 5 - Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended October 2, 1999 was
$5.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively, as compared to comprehensive loss
for the three and nine months ended October 3, 1998 of $4.6 million and $5.2
million, respectively. Differences between comprehensive loss and loss before
dividends and accretion on preferred stock for each period represents the
foreign currency translation adjustment for each period.
Note 6 - Restructuring Charge
In April 1998, the Company adopted a formal plan to close its Texas
distribution center. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $2.6 million
during the year ended January 2, 1999 in connection with this plant closing. The
charge included $1.5 million for the write down of assets to be disposed (which
were all disposed of during fiscal 1998) and a severance accrual of
approximately $1.1 million, which represents severance payments due to 40 office
and distribution employees. Through October 2, 1999, all of these 40 employees
were terminated and severance benefits of approximately $947,000 were paid. The
remaining severance accrual will be paid by the end of fiscal 2000.
Note 7 - Segment Reporting
In July 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 requires certain financial
and supplementary information to be disclosed on an annual and interim basis for
each reportable segment of an enterprise. SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997.
The Company has determined it has three reportable segments: mass
merchandisers, chain drug stores/combo stores/supermarkets, and variety stores.
The Company distributes accessories such as, costume jewelry, optical products,
watches, clocks and other accessories.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that sell the
Company's products to distinct distribution channels. They are managed
separately because each business requires different marketing strategies. The
Company's approach is based on the way that management organizes the segments
within the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates
performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not
including nonrecurring gains and losses.

Revenues from segments below the quantitative thresholds are attributable to
five operating segments of the Company. Those segments include department
stores, armed forces' PX stores, boutique stores, gift shops, bookstores and
catalogues. None of these segments have ever met any of the quantitative
thresholds for determining reportable segments and their combined results are
presented as Other.
Segment profit (loss) differs from the income (loss) before income tax
(expense) benefit and dividends and accretion on preferred stock by the amount
of other income, which are not allocated by segment. The chief operating
decision-maker does not review segment assets.

Note 8 - Supplemental Consolidating Financial Information
The following is summarized consolidating financial information for the
Company, segregating the Company, wholly owned guarantor subsidiaries, mostly
owned subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries as they relate to the Notes.
The guarantor subsidiaries, both mostly and wholly owned, are domestic
subsidiaries of the Company and they guarantee the Notes on a full,
unconditional and joint and several basis. Separate financial statements of the
wholly owned guarantor subsidiaries have not been included because management
believes that they are not material to investors. Prior to September 1, 1999,
the Company held an 80% interest in Fantasma LLC ("Fantasma") and accordingly
Fantasma was included as a mostly-owned subsidiary in the supplemental
consolidating financial information for such periods.
The Company and guarantor subsidiaries account for investments in
subsidiaries on the equity method for the purposes of the consolidating
financial data. Earnings of subsidiaries are therefore reflected in the
Company's and subsidiary's investment accounts and earnings. The principal
elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany
balances and transactions.
Effective January 3, 1999, the assets of the Company's wholly owned
guarantor subsidiaries (other than Fantasma) were transferred to the Company.
Accordingly, the Company now performs all operations previously performed by
these wholly owned guarantor subsidiaries, which are included in the Company in
the consolidating financial information for periods ending after such date.
Effective September 1, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the interest of
Fantasma, which is included as a wholly-owned subsidiary in the consolidating
financial information for periods ending after such date.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion may contain "forward-looking" statements and are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
significantly from expectations. In particular, statements contained in this
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" section which are not historical facts, including, but not limited
to, statements regarding the anticipated adequacy of cash resources to meet the
Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements and statements
regarding the anticipated proportion of revenues to be derived from a limited
number of customers, may constitute forward-looking statements. Although the
Company believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements
are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to
have been correct. Important factors, which could cause actual results to differ
materially from such expectations, are disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K
filed with the SEC on April 2, 1999.
OVERVIEW
The Company is a value-added distributor of optical products, costume
jewelry, watches, clocks and other accessories primarily to mass merchandisers,
chain drug stores/combo stores/supermarkets and variety stores in North America
and the United Kingdom. As a value-added distributor, the Company provides
customized store displays, merchandising management and a store-level field
service force to replenish and restock displays, reorder product and attend to
markdowns and allowances. Upon shipment to the customer, the Company estimates
agreed-upon future allowances, returns and discounts, taking into account
historical experience, and reflects revenue net of these estimates.
When establishing or expanding a customer relationship, the Company
generally enters into multi-year agreements for the supply of specified product
lines to specific customer stores. The agreements may contain required minimum
sales volumes or termination penalties equal to the Company's unamortized cost
of product displays provided to the customer. The Company believes its
relationships with retailers are dependent upon its ability to efficiently
utilize allocated floor space to generate satisfactory returns for its
customers. To meet this end, the Company strives to consistently deliver
competitively priced products and service programs which provide retailers with
attractive gross margins and inventory turnover rates. The Company has
historically retained customers from year to year, although retailers may drop
or add product lines supplied by the Company. Generally, customer loss has been
attributable to such customer going out of business or being acquired by a
company which does not carry AAi's product line or has prior relationships with
a competitor of the Company.
Certain segments of the retail industry, particularly mass merchandisers,
variety stores, drugstores and supermarkets, are experiencing significant
consolidation and in recent years many major retailers have experienced
financial difficulties. These industry wide developments have had and may
continue to have an impact on the Company's results of operations. In addition,
as a result of financial pressures, many major retailers have sought to reduce
inventory levels in order to reduce their operating costs which has had a
negative effect on the Company's results of operations.
Net Sales. The Company offers optical products, costume jewelry, small
synthetic leather goods, watches, clocks and other accessories, generally at
retail price points of $20 or less. Net sales of the Company's optical products
accounted for approximately 47.4% and 44.9% of the Company's net sales for the
nine months ended October 2, 1999 and October 3, 1998, respectively; net sales
of the Company's costume jewelry accounted for approximately 42.1% and 36.6% of
the Company's net sales for the nine months ended October 2, 1999 and October 3,
1998, respectively, and the balance represented sales of synthetic leather
goods, watches, clocks and other accessories. Optical products generally have
higher gross margins than the Company's other product lines.
Cost of Goods Sold. The Company outsources manufacturing for all of its
products, approximately 75% of which is sourced to manufacturers in Asia through
its joint venture in Hong Kong, with the remainder outsourced to independent
domestic manufacturers. Accordingly, the principal element comprising the
Company's cost of goods sold is the price of manufactured goods purchased
through the Company's joint venture or from independent manufacturers. The
Company believes outsourcing manufacturing allows it to reliably deliver
competitively priced products to the retail market while retaining considerable
flexibility in its cost structure.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses are comprised primarily of payroll
and occupancy costs related to the Company's selling, general and administrative
activities as well as depreciation and amortization. The Company incurs various
costs in connection with the acquisition of new customers and new stores for
existing customers, principally the cost of new product display fixtures and
costs related to the purchase of the customer's existing inventory. The Company
makes substantial investments in the design, production and installation of
display fixtures in connection with establishing and maintaining customer
relationships. The Company capitalizes the production cost of these display
fixtures as long as it retains ownership of them. These costs are amortized to
selling expenses on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life,
which is one to three years. If the Company does not retain title to the
displays, the display costs are expensed as shipped.
The Company incurs direct and incremental costs in connection with the
acquisition of certain new customers and new store locations from existing
customers under multi-year agreements. The Company may also receive the previous
vendor's merchandise from the customer in connection with most of these
agreements. In these situations, the Company values this inventory at its fair
market value, representing the lower of cost or net realizable value, and
records that value as inventory. The Company sells this inventory through
various liquidation channels. Except as provided below, the excess costs over
the fair market value of the inventory received is charged to selling expense
when incurred. The Company expensed customer acquisition costs of approximately
$92,000 and $464,000 and $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine
months ended October 2, 1999 and October 3, 1998, respectively.
The excess costs over the fair market value of the inventory received is
capitalized as deferred costs and amortized over the agreement period if the
Company enters into a minimum purchase agreement with the customer from which
the estimated gross profits from future minimum sales during the term of the
agreement are sufficient to recover the amount of the deferred costs. During the
three and nine months ended October 2, 1999, the Company capitalized
approximately $49,000 and $155,000 of these costs, respectively, in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Amortization expense for the three
months and nine months ended October 2, 1999 related to these costs as well as
previously capitalized costs was approximately $306,000 and $903,000,
respectively. No such cost were capitalized or amortized during the first nine
months ended October 3, 1998.
Dividends and Accretion on Preferred Stock. The Company has 43,700 shares of
Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock")
outstanding, of which 34,200 were issued in May 1996 for gross proceeds of $18.0
million, and an additional 9,500 shares were issued for gross proceeds of $5.0
million in connection with the December 1996 acquisition of Foster Grant Group
LP and related companies ("Foster Grant US"). Beginning on June 30, 2002, shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the holder for
an amount equal to the original issue price plus accrued and unpaid dividends
yielding a 10% compounded annual rate of return, provided, however, that the
right to require redemption is suspended as long as any Restrictive Indebtedness
(as defined in the Articles of Incorporation) is outstanding. Net loss
applicable to common shareholders represents net loss less accretion of original
issuance costs and cumulative dividends due on the Series A Preferred Stock.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA).
Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company believes that
EBITDA is accepted as a generally recognized measure of performance in the
distribution industry and provides an indicator of the earnings available to
meet the Company's debt service obligations. EBITDA should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, net cash provided
by operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company's
operating performance or liquidity which is calculated in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA was approximately $227,000 and $8.6 million for the three and nine months
ended October 2, 1999, respectively as compared to $903,000 and $8.3 million for
the three and nine months ended October 3, 1998, respectively.
In June 1998, the Company acquired an 80% interest in Fantasma, LLC
(Fantasma) for approximately $4.1 million in cash. The remaining 20% interest in
Fantasma was held by a previous member of Fantasma. As a result of the
termination of the employment of this member, in April 1999, the Company
acquired this 20% interest effective September 1, 1999. Accordingly, the Company
currently holds 100% of the Fantasma member interests. This previous member has
filed a lawsuit asserting that his termination was wrongful and the Company has
asserted counterclaims related to the Fantasma acquisition. The Company does not
believe this litigation is material to it's results of operations or financial
condition. Another employee of Fantasma has options to acquire up to a 2%
interest if certain earnings targets for Fantasma are met in 1999 and 2000. As
of October 2, 1999, the exercise price of the options to purchase member
interests of Fantasma was equal to or greater than the fair market value;
therefore no expense was recorded. AAi's acquisition of Fantasma added watches
and clocks to AAi's product lines and Disney and Warner Bros. stores to its
customer base. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded
approximately $4.6 million in intangible assets, which are being amortized over
10 years.

In March 1998, the Company acquired certain assets of Foster Grant UK for
the aggregate book value of certain acquired assets, including inventory items
of $3.3 million and accounts receivable of $1.7 million, less the aggregate
amount of trade payables assumed of $1.1 million and bank debt assumed of $1.7
million. In addition, the Company acquired the Foster Grant trademark in the
United Kingdom and Europe for $0.7 million, which amount is subject to upward
adjustment at the end of 1998 and 1999 based on annual sales, up to a maximum
additional payment of $0.7 million. No adjustment to the purchase price is
required as result of sales to date. As a result of the Foster Grant UK
acquisition, the Company recorded approximately $1.1 million of intangible
assets, which are being amortized over 20 years.
Net loss before dividends and accretion on preferred stock was $5.0 million
and $7.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 2, 1999 as compared
to a net loss before dividends and accretion on preferred stock of $4.7 million
and $5.1 million for the three and nine months ended October 3, 1998.

</TABLE>
THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 2, 1999 COMPARED TO OCTOBER 3, 1998
Net Sales. Consolidated net sales were $38.5 million for the three months
ended October 2, 1999 as compared to $36.8 million for the three months ended
October 3, 1998, an increase of $1.6 million. The increase in net sales is
primarily attributable to an increase of $4.3 million in the mass merchandiser
channel and $329,000 in the variety channel partially offset by lower sales to
non-core segments, primarily department stores, of $2.2 million and lower chain
drug stores/combo stores/supermarkets sales of $762,000. The general downward
trend of department store sales is expected to continue for the remainder of
fiscal 1999.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was $14.3 million for the three months ended
October 2, 1999 as compared to $16.4 million for the three months ended October
3, 1998. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 37.3% for the
three months ended October 2, 1999 from 44.5% for the three months ended October
3, 1998. The $2.1 million or 12.6% decrease is primarily due to increased
closeout sales in an effort to reduce inventory levels and a change in jewelry
product mix to lower margin products.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $16.7 million for the three
months ended October 2, 1999 as compared to $18.6 million for the three months
ended October 3, 1998, a decrease of 10.1% or $1.9 million. The decrease is
primarily attributable to inefficiencies incurred in the third quarter of 1998
after the announced closing of the Texas distribution center and related 1999
payroll and overhead savings generated from the closing.

(Continued)
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $2.7 million for the three months
ended October 2, 1999 as compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended
October 3, 1998, an increase of 19.9% or $441,000. This resulted from additional
borrowings under the Company's credit facilities to fund operations.
Income Tax. Income tax expense was $37,000 for the three months ended
October 2, 1999 and represents the provision on the Company's UK operations. No
expense or benefit was recorded for the three months ended October 3, 1998.
Net Loss. As a result of the factors discussed above, net loss before
dividends and accretion on preferred stock was $5.0 million for the three months
ended October 2, 1999 as compared to net loss before dividends and accretion on
preferred stock of $4.7 million for the three months ended October 3, 1998, an
increase of $346,000.
Net Loss Applicable to Common Shareholders. Net loss applicable to common
shareholders was $5.8 million for the three months ended October 2, 1999 as
compared to a loss of $5.4 million for the three months ended October 3, 1998,
an increase of $420,000. The increase is attributable to the $346,000 decrease
in earnings and an increase of $74,000 in dividends and accretion on Series A
Preferred Stock due to the compounding of accrued dividends.
NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 2, 1999 COMPARED TO OCTOBER 3, 1998
Net Sales. Consolidated net sales were $125.6 million for the nine months
ended October 2, 1999 as compared to $125.5 million for the nine months ended
October 3, 1998, an increase of $113,000. The increase in net sales is primarily
attributable to an increase of $8.6 million in the mass merchandiser channel and
$1.6 million in the variety channel largely offset by lower sales to non-core
segments, primarily department stores, of $7.8 million and lower chain drug
stores/combo stores/supermarkets sales of $2.4 million. The general downward
trend of department store sales is expected to continue for the remainder of
fiscal 1999.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was $50.7 million for the nine months ended
October 2, 1999 as compared to $57.5 million for the nine months ended October
3, 1998. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 40.4% for the
nine months ended October 2, 1999 from 45.8% for the nine months ended October
3, 1998. The $6.8 million or 11.8% decrease is primarily due to increased
closeout sales in an effort to reduce inventory levels, increased sales of
promotional products, which have lower margins, and a change in jewelry product
mix to lower margin products.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $50.6 million for the nine
months ended October 2, 1999 as compared to $57.8 million for the nine months
ended October 3, 1998, a decrease of 12.6% or $7.2 million. The decrease is
primarily attributable to the April 1998 restructuring charge of $2.6 million
for the closing of the Texas distribution center, related inefficiencies
incurred in the third quarter of 1998 after the announced closure and related
1999 payroll and overhead savings generated from the closing.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $7.7 million for the nine months
ended October 2, 1999 as compared to $4.9 million for the nine months ended
October 3, 1998, an increase of 58.2% or $2.8 million. This resulted from
additional borrowings under the Company's credit facilities to fund operations
and a higher effective interest rate related to the Company's 10 3/4% Series B
Senior Notes due 2006 issued in July 1998.
Income Tax. Income tax expense was $37,000 for the three months ended
October 2, 1999 as compared to a benefit of $338,000 for the nine months ended
October 3, 1998.
Net Loss. As a result of the factors discussed above, net loss before
dividends and accretion on preferred stock was $7.5 million for the nine months
ended October 2, 1999 as compared to $5.1 million for the nine months ended
October 3, 1998, an increase of $2.4 million.
Net Loss Applicable to Common Shareholders. Net loss applicable to common
shareholders was $9.8 million for the nine months ended October 2, 1999 as
compared to a loss of $7.2 million for the nine months ended October 3, 1998, an
increase of $2.6 million. The increase as attributable to the $2.4 million
decrease in earnings and an increase of $172,000 in dividends and accretion on
Series A Preferred Stock due to the compounding of accrued dividends.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At October 2, 1999 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.9 million
and working capital of $23.4 million. To date, the Company has funded its
operations through credit facilities, issuance of equity and debt securities,
and cash generated from operations.
The Company used $12.7 million of cash in operations during the nine months
ended October 2, 1999 compared to a use of $5.8 million during the nine months
ended October 3, 1998. Cash used in operating activities increased due to the
funding of higher operating losses, a lower decrease in inventory as a result of
eliminating inventory in 1998 prior to the relocation of Foster Grant to Rhode
Island and unfavorable accounts receivable resulting from higher third quarter
sales in 1999 than third quarter sales in 1998.
The Company used $7.5 million in investing activities during the nine months
ended October 2, 1999 compared to a use of $29.7 million during the nine months
ended October 3, 1998. The uses of funds for investing activities during the
nine months ended October 2, 1999 consisted primarily of $7.0 million for the
purchase of display fixtures and the new information management system. The
decrease from the nine months ended October 3, 1998 is attributable to lower
spending on display fixtures and the 1998 acquisitions of Fantasma and Foster
Grant UK.
The Company generated $20.9 million from financing activities during the
nine months ended October 2, 1999 compared to $35.3 million during the nine
months ended October 3, 1998. The funds generated from financing activities
consisted mainly of borrowings under the revolving note payable. The decrease
from the nine months ended October 3, 1998 is attributable to proceeds from the
Notes and the term loan received in fiscal 1998.
The Company has 43,700 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that has a
redemption value at October 2, 1999 of $31.1 million. Shares of Series A
Preferred Stock are convertible into Common Stock at a rate of 10 for 1,
adjustable for certain dilutive events. Conversion is at the option of the
shareholder, but is automatic upon the consummation of a qualified public
offering. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock have the right to require
redemption for cash for any unconverted shares, beginning June 30, 2002,
provided, however, that the right to require redemption is suspended as long as
any Restrictive Indebtedness (as defined in the Company's Articles of
Incorporation) is outstanding. The Notes constitute Restrictive Indebtedness.
The redemption price of the Series A Preferred Stock is an amount equal to the
original issue price, $526.32 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends
yielding a 10% compounded annual rate of return.
In connection with the purchase of Foster Grant US, the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary, Foster Grant Holdings, Inc. (FG Holdings) issued 100
shares of FG Preferred Stock, which are redeemable on February 28, 2000, or
earlier upon the occurrence of certain specified capital transactions. The
redemption price will range between $1.0 million and $4.0 million depending upon
the net sales of sunglasses, reading glasses and accessories by FG Holdings and
the Company, and upon the total transaction value.
The Company is continually engaged in evaluating potential acquisitions. The
Company expects that funding for future acquisitions may come from a variety of
sources, depending on the size and nature of any such acquisition. Potential
sources of capital include cash generated from operations, borrowings under the
Company's Senior Credit Facility with Bank of America, as an agent and lender,
or other external debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance that such
additional capital sources will be available to the Company, if at all, on terms
that the Company finds acceptable.
The Company has substantial indebtedness and significant debt service
obligations. As of October 2, 1999, the Company had total indebtedness,
including borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, in the aggregate
principal amount of $99.9 million. The Company had current liabilities of
approximately $58.7 million. In addition, the Company has significant annual
obligations that include interest on the Notes of approximately $8.1 million,
minimum royalty obligations over the next two years of approximately $5.9
million and minimum payments under its operating leases of approximately
$714,000. The Indenture permits the Company to incur additional indebtedness,
including secured indebtedness, subject to certain limitations.
24
<PAGE> 25
AAI.FOSTERGRANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
The Company has up to $ 16.9 million available for borrowings under the
Senior Credit Facility as of October 2, 1999. Interest rates on the revolving
loans under the Senior Credit Facility are based, at the Company's option, on
the Base Rate (as defined) or LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The Senior Credit
Facility contains certain restrictions and limitations, including financial
covenants that require the Company to maintain and achieve certain levels of
financial performance and limit the payment of cash dividends and similar
restricted payments. On May 7, 1999, the Company entered into an amendment to
the Senior Credit Facility which modified the financial covenants and waived
non-compliance with the prior covenants. As of October 2, 1999, the Company was
not in compliance with certain financial covenants, as modified. The Company has
received a waiver of such non-compliance from its lenders and is negotiating an
amendment to the Senior Credit Facility which will modify the financial
covenants going forward. If the Company does not successfully negotiate an
amendment to the Senior Credit Facility, the Company expects that it will not be
in compliance with certain financial covenants in the Senior Credit Facility for
the remainder of fiscal 1999. The Company has received a letter from the bank
stating that it intends to modify the covenants so they are amounts that the
Company believes they will be able to obtain. The Company believes it will
successfully negotiate the amendment, however, there can be no assurance that it
will be able to do so.
The Company's ability to make scheduled payments of principal, or to pay the
interest on, or to refinance, its indebtedness (including the Notes), or to fund
planned capital expenditures will depend on its future performance, which, to a
certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive,
legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond its control. Based
upon the current level of operations and anticipated cost savings and revenue
growth, the Company believes that cash flow from operations and available cash,
together with available borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, will be
adequate to meet the Company's future liquidity needs for at least the next
several years. The Company may, however, need to refinance all or a portion of
the principal of the Notes on or prior to maturity. There can be no assurance
that the Company's business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations,
that anticipated cost savings and revenue growth will be realized or that future
borrowings will be available under the Senior Credit Facility in an amount
sufficient to enable the Company to service its indebtedness, including the
Notes, or to fund its other liquidity needs. In addition, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to effect any such refinancing on
commercially reasonable terms or at all.
YEAR 2000
The Company uses several application programs written over many years using
two-digit fields to define the applicable year, rather than four-digit year
fields. Programs that are time-sensitive may recognize a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This misinterpretation of the year could
result in an incorrect computation or a computer shutdown.
As a result of the Company's growth, AAi has implemented a new information
management system which is certified by the vendor to be Year 2000 compliant.
The Company has completed Phase I of the conversion to the new system during
October 1999 and believes that the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant
operational problems for the Company's systems.
Since Year 2000 compliance has been addressed with the implementation of
the Company's new system, the costs of addressing the Year 2000 issue are not
separately identifiable. No material additional costs are anticipated at this
time.
The Company has completed a compliance review of its property that uses
embedded technology. Although the Company believes that the Year 2000 issue will
not pose a significant problem for any of the Company's systems or property
utilizing embedded technology, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000
issue will not interfere with the function and use of such property.
The Company has engaged in formal communications with its major customers
and most significant vendors to determine the extent to which the Company's
interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate
their own Year 2000 issues. These major customers and vendors have informed the
Company that they are compliant. While there can be no guarantee that the
systems of other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be timely
converted and will not have an adverse effect on the Company's systems, the
Company does not believe that its operations are materially vulnerable to the
failure of any vendor or customer to properly address the Year 2000 issue. The
Company's contingency plan in the event other parties are unable to provide Year
2000 compliant electronic data is to revert to paper documentation from these
parties.
The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption in, or failure of, certain normal business activities or
operations. Such failures could materially and adversely affect the Company's
results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

AAI.FOSTERGRANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem, resulting
in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of third-party suppliers
and customers, the Company is unable to determine at this time whether the
consequences of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on the Company's
results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. The aforementioned
steps being undertaken by the Company are expected to significantly reduce the
Company's level of uncertainty about the Year 2000 problem and, in particular,
about the Year 2000 compliance and readiness of its material customers and
vendors. The Company believes that, with the implementation of its new
information management system and the other steps being taken, the possibility
of significant interruptions of normal operations should be reduced.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The following discussion about the Company's market risk disclosures
includes forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company is exposed to
market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange
rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative
or trading purposes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in
interest rates primarily through its borrowing activities. In addition, the
Company's ability to finance future acquisition transactions may be impacted if
the Company is unable to obtain appropriate financing at acceptable interest
rates.
The Company manages its borrowing exposure to changes in interest rates by
optimizing the use of fixed rate debt with extended maturities. At October 2,
1999, approximately 99% of the carrying values of the Company's long-term debt
were at fixed interest rates.
Foreign Currency Risk. The Company's results of operations are affected by
fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to the value of
currencies in foreign markets primarily related to changes in the British Pound,
the Canadian Dollar, the Mexican Peso and the Hong Kong Dollar. During the nine
months ended October 2, 1999, the net impact of foreign currency changes was not
material to the Company's financial condition or results of operations. The
Company manages its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk by trying to
minimize the Company's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries. The Company
generally does not enter into derivative financial instruments to manage foreign
currency exposure.
The Company's operations in Europe are not significant and, therefore, the
Company does not expect to be materially impacted by the introduction of the
Euro dollar.
