              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)        Basis of Presentation

           Barneys New York, Inc. ("Holdings") and subsidiaries (collectively
the "Company") is a leading upscale retailer of men's, women's and children's
apparel and accessories and items for the home. The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The
balance sheet at January 29, 2000 has been derived from the audited financial
statements at that date. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. 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 October 28, 2000, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended October
28, 2000 and October 30, 1999. The results of operations for the three and nine
month periods may not be indicative of the results for the entire year.

           The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

           These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2000.



(2)        Long-Term Debt

           Long-Term Debt consisted of the following at October 28, 2000:

                                                                  (000's)

           Isetan note                                               21,199

           Total                                              $     108,034

<PAGE>
           In addition, under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility,
$11,440,000 was committed under unexpired letters of credit. As of October 28,
2000, 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 2000 or 1999, 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 ("EPS")

           Basic EPS is computed as net income (loss) available to common
stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the incremental increase in common shares
outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options and warrants that would have
had a dilutive effect on EPS. Net income (loss) attributed to common
stockholders is not materially affected by the 1% dividend on the 5,000 issued
and outstanding shares of preferred stock.

           Options and warrants to acquire an aggregate of 957,724 shares of
common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common
share for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2000, as including them
would have been anti-dilutive. Options and warrants to acquire an aggregate of
2,667,191 and 2,418,907 shares of common stock were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months
ended October 30, 1999, respectively, as including them would have been
anti-dilutive.

           As of October 28, 2000, the Company's common stock was not actively
traded.

(5)        Warrant Exercise

           Holders of 826,961 warrants exercised their rights to acquire an
equivalent amount of Holdings common stock prior to the warrants expiration on
May 30, 2000. The total aggregate proceeds received by the Company were
approximately $7.2 million.


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


                                       7
<PAGE>
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 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; 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.

Three Months Ended October 28, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended October
30, 1999

           Net sales for the three months ended October 28, 2000 were $110.2
million compared to $101.0 million in the three months ended October 30, 1999;
an increase of 9.2%. The sales increase was primarily driven by comparable store
sales growth of 16.4% in our full price and outlet stores offset by reduced
sales in our warehouse sales events resulting in a total company comparable
store sales growth of 9.4%. Sales were strong in many of our merchandise
classifications including men's sportswear and women's ready-to-wear and
continue to be positively impacted by the Company's focus on initiating
markdowns earlier to maximize inventory turn.

           Gross profit on sales increased 9.1% to $51.7 million for the three
months ended October 28, 2000 from $47.4 million in the three months ended
October 30, 1999, primarily due to the sales increase mentioned above. As a
percentage of net sales, gross profit was 46.9% in both periods. Improvements in
gross profit from lower shortage expense are being offset, in part, by more
promotional selling as discussed above.

           Selling, general and administrative expenses, including occupancy
expenses, increased 9.2% in the three-month period ended October 28, 2000 to
$42.1 million from $38.5 million in the three month period ended October 30,
1999. This increase was principally driven by higher personnel costs associated
with annual wage increases, increased advertising costs and energy costs, as
well as increases in certain expenses, such as commission costs and third party
credit card fees associated with the increased sales volume. Selling, general
and administrative expenses were 38.2% of sales in the three months ended
October 28, 2000 as compared to 38.1% in the three months ended October 30,
1999.

                                       8
<PAGE>
           Depreciation and amortization increased 4.7% in the three months
ended October 28, 2000 to $4.5 million from $4.3 million in the year ago period.

           Interest expense decreased 11.7% in the three months ended October
28, 2000 to $3.1 million from $3.5 million in the year ago period. Interest
associated with borrowings under the Company's credit facility declined
principally as a result of lower average borrowings.

           Average borrowings under the credit facility for the three months
ended October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999 were $52.2 million and $68.7
million, respectively, and the effective interest rate on this portion of the
Company's outstanding debt was 11.3% in the three months ended October 28, 2000
compared to 9.4% in the prior year.

           Net income for the three months ended October 28, 2000 was $3.3
million compared to net income of $2.2 million for the three months ended
October 30, 1999. Basic and diluted net income per common share for the three
months ended October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999 were $0.24 and $0.17,
respectively.


Nine Months Ended October 28, 2000 Compared to the Nine Months Ended October 30,
1999

           Net sales for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 were $291.1
million compared to $264.8 million in the nine months ended October 30, 1999; an
increase of 10.0%. The sales increase was primarily driven by comparable store
sales growth of 16.1% in our full price and outlet stores offset by reduced
sales in our warehouse sales events resulting in a total company comparable
store sales growth of 12.1%.

           Gross profit on sales increased 10.9% to $137.1 million for the nine
months ended October 28, 2000 from $123.6 million in the nine months ended
October 30, 1999, primarily due to the sales increase discussed above. The
Company experienced reduced shortage expense in the nine months ended October
28, 2000 as compared to the prior year. On a comparative basis, this reduction
in expense was partially offset by more promotional selling in the current year
as compared to the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was
47.1% for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 compared to 46.7% in the prior
year.

           Selling, general and administrative expenses, including occupancy
expenses, increased 6.2% in the nine months ended October 28, 2000 to $119.5
million from $112.6 million in the nine months ended October 30, 1999. This
increase was principally driven by higher personnel costs associated with annual
wage increases, higher energy costs, and increases in certain expenses, such as
commission costs and third party credit card fees associated with the increased
sales volume. In addition, advertising costs increased $1.8 million from the
year ago period as part of the Company's continuing efforts to strengthen its
brand equity. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 41.1% of sales
in the nine months ended October 28, 2000 as compared to 42.5% in the nine
months ended October 30, 1999, principally due to leveraging of expenses.

           Depreciation and amortization increased 2.9% in the nine months ended
October 28, 2000 to $13.3 million from $13.0 million in the prior year.

           Interest expense decreased in the nine months ended October 28, 2000
to $8.9 million from $9.8 million in the year ago period. Interest associated
with borrowings under the Company's credit facility declined principally as a
result of lower average borrowings.

           Average borrowings under the credit facility for the nine months
ended October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999 were $46.5 million and $66.2
million, respectively, and the effective interest rate on this portion of the
Company's outstanding debt was 11.7% in the nine months ended October 28, 2000
compared to 9.6% in the prior year.

           The Company's net loss for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 was
$1.2 million compared to a net loss of $8.6 million for the nine months ended
October 30, 1999. Basic and diluted net loss per common share for the nine
months ended October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999 were $0.09 and $0.69,
respectively.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

Liquidity and Capital Resources


           Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended October 28,
2000 was approximately $2.5 million compared to cash used by operations of $4.3
million in the prior year. This increase is being driven principally by
improvement in the Company's operating results before non-cash charges. In
addition, the nine months ended October 30, 1999 included non-recurring payments
related to administrative claims and certain other current liabilities
aggregating approximately $11.1 million. The Company's working capital was $67.2
million at October 28, 2000 compared to $48.5 million at January 29, 2000. The
Company's primary source of liquidity has been borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Facility.

           The Company incurred capital expenditures of $5.6 million during the
nine months ended October 28, 2000 principally due to the opening of a new
full-price store, the opening of two new outlet stores and improvements in its
existing stores. Pursuant to the covenants contained in the Revolving Credit
Facility, the Company's total capital expenditures for fiscal year 2000 may not
exceed a base level of $7.5 million, subject to adjustment for unused
expenditures from the prior year as well as additional capital contributions.
The Company will fund its capital expenditures through a combination of
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and proceeds received in
connection with the exercise of the Plan Investors options and the exercise of
certain of the outstanding warrants.

           At October 28, 2000, the Company had approximately $46.0 million of
availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, after considering $51.0
million of revolving loans and $11.4 million of letters of credit outstanding.
The Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity for the balance of
fiscal year 2000.

Company might be required 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.
