              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)      Basis of Presentation

         Barneys New York, Inc. ("Holdings") and Subsidiaries (collectively the
"Company") is a retailer of men's and women's apparel and accessories and items
for the home. On January 10, 1996, Barney's, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
"Predecessor Company") filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under
chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Predecessor Company's Plan
of Reorganization (the "Plan of Reorganization") was confirmed on December 21,
1998 and became effective on January 28, 1999 (the "Effective Date"). On that
date, the Company adopted "fresh-start" reporting in accordance with the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7,
"Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code"
("SOP 90-7") which resulted in adjustments to the Company's stockholders equity
and the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the
Company's post-reorganization (Successor Company) financial statements are not
prepared on the same basis as the pre-reorganization (Predecessor Company)
financial statements. A vertical black line is shown in the accompanying
financial statements to separate the post-reorganization periods from the
pre-reorganization periods.

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
which management considers necessary to present fairly the financial position of
the Company as of May 1, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the three-month periods ended May 1, 1999 and May 2, 1998. The results
of operations for the three-month period may not be indicative of the results
for the entire year.

         These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements for the six months ended January 30, 1999 and
related notes which are included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form
10. Accordingly, significant accounting policies and other disclosures necessary
for complete financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted since such items are reflected in the
Company's audited financial statements and related notes thereto.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         As used herein, Successor Company refers to Barneys New York, Inc. and
Subsidiaries from and after the Effective Date and Predecessor Company refers to
Barney's, Inc. and Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Date.

(2)      Long-Term Debt

         At May 1, 1999, there were outstanding loans under the Company's
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") of approximately
$70,953,000, and $11,100,000 was committed under unexpired letters of credit.

         Effective June 2, 1999, the Company and the lenders under the Revolving
Credit Facility entered into an amendment thereto adjusting the definition of
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") to
allow for the inclusion of up to $3 million of cash equity contributed to the
Company during the fiscal year ending January 29, 2000 as part of EBITDA, as
defined. As of May 1, 1999, the Company was in compliance with each of the
covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility.

(3)      Income Taxes

         The Company provides United States federal income taxes based on its
estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year. A federal income tax
benefit was not recorded in either the first quarter of 1999 or 1998, as the
future use of net operating losses generated in those periods was uncertain. In
the respective periods, however, the Company has provided income taxes
principally for state, local and franchise taxes.

(4)      Earnings (loss) Per Share

         Earnings (loss) per common share is computed as net loss divided by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Earnings per common share
of the Predecessor Company has not been included herein as the computation would
not provide meaningful results as the capital structure of the Successor Company
is not comparable to that of the Predecessor Company.

         As of May 1, 1999, the Company's common stock was not actively traded.


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

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
forward looking statements are based on management's expectations, estimates,
projections and assumptions. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends,"
"plans," "believes," "estimates," and variations of such words and similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements which
include, but are not limited to, projections of revenues, earnings and cash
flows. These forward looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
which could cause the Company's actual results or performance to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic


                                       7
<PAGE>
and business conditions, both nationally and in those areas in which the Company
operates; demographic changes; prospects for the retail industry; competition;
changes in business strategy or development plans; the loss of management and
key personnel; the availability of capital to fund the expansion of the
Company's business; changes in consumer preferences or fashion trends; adverse
weather conditions, particularly during peak selling seasons; failure of the
Company or third parties to be Year 2000 compliant; and changes in the Company's
relationships with designers, vendors and other suppliers.


Results of Operations

         The Company is engaged in three distribution channels which encompass
its various product offerings: the full-price stores, the outlet stores and the
warehouse sale events. The Company's emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective
Date is a key factor affecting comparability of operating results for the three
months ended May 1, 1999 as compared to the three months ended May 2, 1998. On
the Effective Date, the Company adopted "fresh-start" reporting which resulted
in adjustments to the Company's stockholders' equity and the carrying value of
certain assets and liabilities. Further, the Company recognized reorganization
value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets ("Excess
Reorganization Value") of $177.8 million. This excess reorganization value is
being amortized by the straight-line method over 20 years.

Three Months Ended May 1, 1999 Compared to the Three Months Ended May 2, 1998

         Net Sales for the three months ended May 1, 1999 were $85.8 million
compared to $87.3 million a year ago, a decrease of 1.7%. Included in net sales
for the three months ended May 2, 1998 is $1.1 million generated from a
full-price store which closed in July 1998. Comparable store sales decreased
approximately 0.4%, principally due to a weakness in both the outlet and
warehouse sale locations partially offset by an increase at full-price stores.

         Gross profit on sales decreased 2.3% to $40.1 million for the three
months ended May 1, 1999 from $41.0 million in the three months ended May 2,
1998, primarily due to lower revenues as a result of the store closing. As a
percentage of net sales, gross profit was 46.7% for the three months ended May
1, 1999 compared to 47.0% in the year ago period, principally due to higher
markdowns in the outlet and warehouse sale locations.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses, including occupancy
expenses, declined 3.0% in the three-month period ended May 1, 1999 to $37.4
million from $38.6 million in the three month period ended May 2, 1998
principally due to continuing improvements from the Company's cost-reduction
initiatives as well as additional reductions in personnel and occupancy costs
related to the full-price store which closed in July 1998. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were 43.6% of sales in the three months ended May 1,
1999 as compared to 44.2% in the three months ended May 2, 1998. As a direct
consequence of the Predecessor Company's Plan of Reorganization becoming
effective, occupancy expense in the three months ended May 1, 1999 as compared
to the three months ended May 2, 1998 increased approximately $1.5 million due
to increased rent expense at the Company's three flagship stores in New York,
Beverly Hills and Chicago. This increase, however, was substantially offset by


                                       8
<PAGE>
the elimination of rental expense, again as a direct consequence of the
Predecessor Company's Plan of Reorganization becoming effective, associated with
certain equipment previously leased by the Predecessor Company.

         Depreciation and amortization increased 86.6% in the three-month period
ended May 1, 1999 to $4.3 million from $2.3 million in the prior year. This
increase was primarily due to the amortization of the excess reorganization
value.

         Interest expense increased in the three months ended May 1, 1999 to
$3.1 million from $3.0 million a year ago. Interest associated with borrowings
under the Company's credit facility declined significantly due to a lower
effective interest rate, driven by a reduction in the portion of interest
expense associated with the amortization of related bank fees, as well as lower
average borrowings. This reduction was offset by approximately $1.5 million of
interest expense associated with the new notes issued pursuant to the Plan of
Reorganization.

         Average borrowings for the three months ended May 1, 1999 and May 2,
1998 were $63.8 million and $66.6 million, respectively, and the effective
interest rate on the Company's outstanding debt was 10.6% in the three months
ended May 1, 1999 compared to 17.7% in the comparable period of the prior year.

         There were no Reorganization costs incurred subsequent to the Plan of
Reorganization becoming effective. In the three-month period ended May 2, 1998
there were $2.9 million of reorganization costs.

         The Company's net loss for the first quarter of 1999 was $3.8 million
compared to a net loss of $4.8 million for the first quarter of 1998. Basic and
diluted net loss per common share for the first quarter of 1999 was ($0.30) per
common share.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

Liquidity and Capital Resources


         The Company's cash used in operations for the three months ended May 1,
1999 was $9.9 million compared to $3.5 million in the three months ended May 2,
1998. The increase is primarily due to payments made during the three months
ended May 1, 1999 for administrative claims and certain assumed pre-petition
liabilities of the Predecessor Company in the aggregate amount of approximately
$9.6 million. The Company's working capital was $51.3 million at May 1, 1999
compared to $41.1 million at January 30, 1999. The Predecessor Company's working
capital (deficiency) was ($23.9) million at May 2, 1998. The Company's primary
source of liquidity has been borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

         The Company incurred capital expenditures of $0.2 million during the
three-month period ended May 1, 1999. The Company's capital expenditures are
expected to be approximately $7.0 million in fiscal 1999 primarily for the
remodeling of existing stores. The Company will fund these expenditures through
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to the covenants


                                       9
<PAGE>
contained in the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company's total capital
expenditures for fiscal year 1999 may not exceed $7,250,000.

         At May 1, 1999, the Company had approximately $24.1 million of
availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, after considering $71.0
million of revolving loans and $11.1 million of letters of credit outstanding.

         Effective June 2, 1999, the Company and the lenders under the Revolving
Credit Facility entered into an amendment thereto adjusting the definition of
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") to
allow for the inclusion of up to $3 million of cash equity contributed to the
Company during the fiscal year ending January 29, 2000 as part of EBITDA, as
defined. As of May 1, 1999, the Company was in compliance with each of the
covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility.

         There can be no assurance that the Company can achieve its financial
forecasts in its fiscal year ending January 29, 2000 or beyond. Any material
deviations from the Company's forecasts could require the Company to seek
alternative sources of financing or to reduce expenditures. There can also be no
assurance that alternative financing could be obtained, or if obtained, that it
would be on terms acceptable to the Company.



YEAR  2000

         The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue relates to the inability of information
systems to properly recognize and process date-sensitive information beyond
January 1, 2000. Many computer systems and software products may not be able to
interpret dates after December 31, 1999 because such systems and products allow
only two digits to indicate the year in a date. As a result, these systems and
products are unable to distinguish January 1, 2000 from January 1, 1900, which
could have adverse consequences on the operations of an entity and the integrity
of information processing.

         The Company's management recognized the need to address the Y2K issue
in all internal systems and applications. A Y2K plan was developed in April 1998
to define all applications requiring system upgrades.

         Letters were mailed to all system related vendors in March through July
of 1998. The letters instructed vendors to confirm status of their systems
and/or applications in connection with Y2K compliance needs. The Company
required modifications to software and hardware systems to make reasonably
certain these applications should perform properly after December 31, 1999.
Vendors responded, providing schedules for upgrades on hardware and software
utilized by the Company. As of May, 1999, 85% of all vendors have complied with
written requests to address Y2K limitations. The remaining 15% of
software/hardware vendors have been contacted and schedules are being
coordinated with various departments and locations. Completion of modifications
is currently scheduled for Fall 1999.


                                       10
<PAGE>
         The Company is modifying or replacing portions of its software systems
to attempt to make all applications Y2K compliant. The components requiring
upgrade include software related applications controlling merchandising, credit,
marketing, accounting, distribution, sales audit and store security systems. The
process has provided an opportunity to introduce the latest versions of software
as well as to upgrade hardware for loss prevention, purchasing and distribution.
New security software computers were installed at the Madison Avenue and Beverly
Hills stores. New versions of software are to be installed on the VAX system
which controls the Distribution Center sorting equipment.

         The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to
reprogram, replace and test software for Y2K modifications. All computer network
servers utilizing Novell technology will be upgraded with Y2K compliant software
versions. System related upgrades began in March 1998 when STS, the retail
system vendor, began installing Y2K compliant software on the Company's main
frame computer.

         Expenditures for Y2K related projects between April 1998 to May 1999
were $165,000, predominately to modify software applications. The Company's
management anticipates additional Y2K expenses will total approximately $50,000.

         The Company's cost of the Y2K project, and the dates on which the
Company believes it will substantially complete Y2K modifications are based on
management's best estimates. Currently no contingency plan exists in the event
that Y2K modifications are not complete or ineffective but management will
periodically evaluate the need for one and adapt accordingly. There is no
certainty or guarantee that these estimates will be achieved, and actual costs
could be materially greater than anticipated. Specific factors that might cause
such differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of
personnel trained in the Y2K area, the compliance by merchandise and other
suppliers and other third parties, and similar uncertainties.

         No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to completely
identify or address all Year 2000 compliance issues, or that third parties with
whom the Company does business will not experience system failures as a result
of the Year 2000 issues, nor can the Company fully predict the consequences of
noncompliance.
