                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Periscope I Sportswear, Inc.:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Periscope I
Sportswear, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency) and
cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

    We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Periscope I
Sportswear, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                 PERISCOPE I SPORTSWEAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

           (Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

                                        
1.  Nature of Operations

    Periscope I Sportswear, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") designs and
manufactures apparel through contractors. The Company provides an extensive line
of high quality women's and children's clothing, in the moderate price category
to major retailers, primarily for sale under private labels. The Company
operates in a highly competitive industry that is subject to changing consumer
demands and customer preferences.

    During May 1996, the Company undertook a leveraged recapitalization whereby
the Company borrowed an aggregate of $18,000 (see Note 6). Substantially all the
proceeds from these loans were used to repurchase 4,960,000 shares of the
Company's common stock owned by a 50% stockholder (see Note 7) and to fund a
distribution to the remaining stockholder. In connection with the
recapitalization, the remaining majority stockholder sold 1,736,000 shares of
the Company's common stock to BancBoston Ventures, Inc. for $2,000, the fair
value of such stock. In addition, the remaining majority stockholder also
transferred 595,200 shares of the Company's common stock to three individuals as
consideration for services provided to the Company in connection with the
$18,000 financing discussed above. Accordingly, the Company recorded the fair
value of the 595,200 shares transferred and the services provided ($686) as
deferred financing costs and as a credit to additional paid-in capital to
reflect the contribution made by the majority stockholder (see Note 7). The
deferred financing costs are being amortized over the life of the related debt
as factor and financing costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.

    In addition, on May 17, 1996, Periscope I Sportswear, Inc. ("Periscope I")
transferred 99% of its net assets to Periscope Sportswear, LLC, a limited
liability company ("LLC"), and 1% of its net assets to Periscope II
Sportswear, Inc. ("Periscope II"), in a tax-free exchange for a 99% ownership
interest in the LLC and all of the common stock of Periscope II. Periscope II
then transferred its net assets to the LLC in exchange for a 1% ownership
interest. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts and results of Periscope II and the LLC since their inception (May 17,
1996).


2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    Principles of Consolidation

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (see Note 1). All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

    Use of Estimates

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

    Inventories

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
    Property and Equipment

    Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their
estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements
are amortized over their lease terms or the estimated useful lives of the
assets, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged against
results of operations as incurred.

The estimated useful lives of the Company's property and equipment are as
follows:

    Machinery and equipment................... 5-7 years
 
    Furniture and fixtures.................... 7 years
 
    Automobiles............................... 5 years
   
    Computer equipment and software........... 3-5 years
 
    Leasehold improvements.................... Life of the lease


    Long-Lived Assets

    The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain related intangibles
for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The measurement of impairment
losses to be recognized is based on the difference between the fair values and
the carrying amounts of the assets. Impairment would be recognized in operating
results if a diminution in value occurred. The Company does not believe that any
such changes have occurred.

    Deferred Financing Costs

    The costs incurred for obtaining financing, including all related legal and
accounting fees, are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as
deferred financing costs. Deferred financing costs are being amortized over the
life of the related debt (5 years).

    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    Due to the short maturities of the Company's cash, receivables and payables,
the carrying values of these financial instruments approximates their fair
values. The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated based on the current
rates offered to the Company for debt with similar remaining maturities. The
Company believes that the carrying value of its debt estimates the fair value of
such debt instruments.

    Transactions with International Suppliers

    All transactions with international suppliers currently are denominated in
U.S. dollars and are not subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

    Revenue Recognition

    The Company recognizes revenues upon shipment of merchandise to its
customers, which policy has been followed consistently in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. In previously issued financial statements for
the period May 17, 1996 to December 31, 1996, revenue for private label/special
orders was accounted for upon completion of production and segregation of such
goods for delivery. In connection with the Company's planned initial offering of
its equity securities to the public, the Company revised its recognition policy
to record revenue for all merchandise when shipped as the preferable method for
all sales and the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996
have been restated accordingly.

    Income Taxes

    Periscope I and Periscope II file Federal income tax returns. The LLC is not
a taxpaying entity for Federal, New York state or New Jersey state income tax
purposes and, accordingly, no provisions are made for such taxes. Periscope I
and Periscope II's allocable shares of taxable income or loss from the LLC are
reportable on their income tax returns.

    Prior to May 17, 1996, Periscope I had elected S Corporation status for
Federal, New York state and New Jersey state income tax purposes. Under these
elections, Periscope I's taxable income or loss was reportable by its
stockholders on their individual income tax returns, and Periscope I made no
provision for Federal income taxes. Reflected on the consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 is a pro forma calculation of
the provision for income taxes as if the Company had been a C Corporation for
Federal and state income tax purposes. The formation of Periscope II as a wholly
owned subsidiary required Periscope I to terminate its S Corporation status and
to be taxed as a C Corporation.

    The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability approach.
Deferred income taxes are provided for differences in the recognition of assets
and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. Temporary differences
result primarily from various accruals and reserves being deductible for tax
purposes in future periods.

    Earnings (Loss) Per Share

    The Company has implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"), which establishes standards for the
method of computation, presentation and disclosure for earnings per share
("EPS"). SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for computing EPS previously found
in APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share," and makes them comparable to
international EPS standards. It requires the presentation of two EPS amounts,
basic and diluted, on the face of the income statement for all entities with
complex capital structures and the restatement of all prior period EPS
calculations presented. Previously reported EPS amounts were not affected by the
adoption of this new standard. Basic earnings per share represents net income
(loss) divided by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per
share represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted average shares
outstanding adjusted for the incremental dilution of common stock equivalents.
There were no differences between basic and diluted EPS for 1995, 1996 and 1997.

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"),
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,"
introduces a new model for segment reporting, called the "management
approach." The management approach is based on the way that management
organizes segments within a company for making operating decisions and assessing
performance. Reportable segments can be based on products and services,
geography, legal structure, management structure--any manner in which management
disaggregates a company. The management approach replaces the notion of industry
and geographic segments in current accounting standards. SFAS 131 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. However, SFAS 131 need not
be applied to interim statements in the initial year of application. SFAS 131
requires restatement of all prior period information reported. The Company
intends to adopt this standard when required and is in the process of
determining the effect of SFAS 131 on the Company's financial statement
disclosures.

    In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-1,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use." The statement is intended to eliminate the diversity in practice
in accounting for internal-use software costs and improve financial reporting.
The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998.
The Company is in the process of determining the effect of this statement on the
Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

5.  Factoring and Financing Arrangements
 
    Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are factored on a
nonrecourse basis. Borrowings are subject to a monthly processing charge equal
to 0.7% on gross sales up to $25 million, 0.65% on gross sales between $25
million and $75 million and 0.6% of gross sales over $75 million. Interest on
advances made by the factor is charged at .5% over prime (9% at December 31,
1997) and the factoring agreement is collateralized by the Company's receivables
and inventory. The agreement expires on May 31, 2000 and may be terminated at
the option of the factor with 60 days written notice. The factor also guarantees
the Company's letters of credit. The uncollected balance of receivables held by
the factor as of December 31, 1996 and 1997 was approximately $11.2 million and
$17.5 million, respectively. Total charges, including interest expense,
factoring fees and commissions, were $1,047, $2,056, $2,765, for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The weighted average interest
rate was 8.79% and 8.94% at December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Such
charges are included in factoring and financing costs in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

    (a)  During July 1998, the term note payable was amended to defer quarterly
         payments due from September 1998 through June 1999 until July 1999.
         These payments total $1,300 and have been reflected in the accompanying
         consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1997 as long-term. In
         addition, the $15 million term note payable and the $3 million
         subordinated note payable agreements were also amended in June 1998 to
         require the prepayment of such notes if the Company successfully
         completes an equity offering with net proceeds of no less than $19.0
         million. In consideration of the prepayment of the $3.0 million
         Subordinated Note, BBV agreed that upon such prepayment it will
         contribute 569,200 shares of Common Stock to the capital of the
         Company.

    Under the provisions of the term notes, the Company is required to maintain
certain financial ratios and comply with other financial conditions. The term
notes also prohibit the Company from incurring certain additional indebtedness,
limit certain investments, advances or loans and restrict substantial asset
sales. At December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company was not in compliance with
certain financial ratio covenants relating to dilution and minimum earnings
before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ratios, as defined.
The Company obtained waivers related to the noncompliance through July 1999.

7.  Stockholders' Equity (Deficiency)

    Recapitalization

    In connection with the recapitalization in May 1996 (see Note 1), the
Company repurchased 4,960,000 shares of common stock from a former stockholder
for $11,380. Such shares are included in treasury stock in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. In addition, the majority stockholder also
transferred 595,200 shares of the Company's common stock to three individuals as
compensation for services provided to the Company in connection with the $18,000
financing (see Notes 1 and 6). Accordingly, the Company recorded the fair market
value of the 595,200 shares transferred and the services provided ($686) as a
credit to additional paid-in capital to reflect the contribution made by the
majority stockholder.

    On May 16, 1996, the Company terminated its S Corporation status election
and the Company was required under Staff Accounting Bulletin 4B to reclassify
its retained deficit at that date in the amount of $4,044 to paid-in capital.

    Incentive Stock Plan

    In November 1996, the Company adopted a Stock Incentive Plan (the "1996
Plan") covering up to 496,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, pursuant to
which officers, directors and key employees of the Company and consultants to
the Company are eligible to receive incentive stock options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The selection of
participants, grants to receive incentive stock options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, determination of price and
other conditions relating to the exercise of options is determined by the Board
of Directors. In 1996, 99,200 shares of restricted stock were issued under the
1996 Plan. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
compensation expense recorded in 1996 totaling $16 related to the restricted
stock issued. No other grants have been made under the 1996 Plan.

8.  Income Taxes

    During 1995, the Company had elected S Corporation status for Federal, New
York and New Jersey State income tax purposes. Accordingly, the provision for
income taxes reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1995 is substantially lower than the pro forma
provision reflecting the income tax provision as if the Company were a C
Corporation for Federal and state income tax purposes. The difference in taxes
provided in 1995 and the amounts determined by applying the Federal statutory
tax rate (34%) is due to the Company's S Corporation election.

The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

</TABLE> 

    The principal difference between the carryforward available for tax return
purposes and financial reporting relates to reserves that have been recognized
in the financial statements that will result in future tax-deductible amounts.
The Company's policy in evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets is
to consider only those conditions that are within its control. Accordingly, in
evaluating the available objective evidence, the Company did not consider the
benefit of any proposed capital financings. The Company concluded based on
objective evidence that it could not overcome the presumption that it was more
likely than not that it would fully realize the deferred tax assets included in
the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1996 and 1997.
Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded to fully reserve the
Company's deferred tax assets at December 31, 1996 and 1997.

9.  Commitments and Contingencies

    Consulting and Noncompetition Agreement

    On May 15, 1996, the Company entered into a five-year consulting and
noncompetition agreement with a former stockholder. The agreement calls for an
annual fee of $75, payable in weekly installments, through May 2001. Charges

salary of $1,700 for the first contract year, adjusted in the remaining contract
years at the discretion of the Company. In addition, the president receives an
annual discretionary expense account in the amount of $300. During 1997, the
employment agreement was amended to reduce total annual compensation to
approximately $1,500. In addition, effective January 1, 1998, the employment
agreement was further amended to provide for base salary of $500, a $450
performance based bonus and a $50 business expense allowance.

    In May 1998, the Company also entered into employment agreements with two of
its key executives. One agreement provides for annual base compensation of $184
and additional compensation based on achieving certain performance criteria.
This agreement is for a three-year term commencing on July 1, 1998. The second
agreement is for a five-year term expiring in April 2003 and provides for annual

Company and are not allowed on the part of employees. There were no
contributions for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997.

12. Related Party Transactions

    On May 17, 1996, the Company converted advances totaling $950 due from its
president into a loan. The agreement provided for the loan to be forgiven over a
20-year period in lieu of services provided to the Company by the president.
However, on April 17, 1997, the agreement was amended to charge interest on the
loan at a rate of prime plus 0.5% (9% at December 31, 1997) and to provide for
repayment of the loan in full in January 2000. Prior to the amendment to the
loan agreement, the Company recorded compensation expense of $30 and $14 for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

    Included in other receivable at December 31, 1997 are advances due from a
manufacturing contractor utilized by the Company totaling $364. The advances are
due on demand and are non-interest bearing.

    The Company purchases manufacturing-related services from Leo Ashkinadze
Cutting ("LAC") and JC Cutting Inc. ("JC Cutting"). An employee of the
Company owns both LAC and JC Cutting. Total fees paid to LAC and JC Cutting for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 were $498, $180, and $463,
respectively.

    The Company paid performance compensation to S.R.P. Sales, Inc.
("S.R.P."). An executive officer of the Company controls S.R.P. Total fees
paid to S.R.P. for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 were $372,
$561, and $1,025, respectively.

    The Company purchases transportation-related services from Global Air, Inc.,
("Global"). The president of the Company is a principal shareholder of Global.
Total fees paid to Global for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 were

    In May 1996, the remaining majority stockholder transferred 595,200 shares
of the Company's common stock to three individuals as consideration for services
provided to the Company in connection with the $18,000 financing (see Note 1 and
6). Accordingly, the Company recorded the fair value of the 595,200 shares
transferred and the services provided ($686) as deferred financing costs and as
a credit to additional paid-in capital to reflect the contribution made by the
majority stockholder (see Note 7). The Company has reflected this transaction as
a noncash financing activity and has excluded these amounts from the
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1996.

14. Subsequent Events

    Reorganization

    During May 1998, Periscope Sportswear, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary was
incorporated in the State of Delaware. On July 21, 1998, Periscope I merged with
Periscope Sportswear, Inc. with the successor company being Periscope
Sportswear, Inc. In connection with this reincorporation, the Company
effectuated a 124,000-for-1 stock split of its Common Stock. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements retroactively reflect the stock split for all
periods presented.

    Initial Public Offering

    The Company intends to offer shares of its common stock to the general
public in an initial public offering (the "Offering"). At December 31, 1997,
deferred offering costs total $10 of costs incurred in connection with the
Offering of the Company's common stock. These costs will be charged against
additional paid-in capital upon the successful completion of the Offering. If
the Offering is unsuccessful, such costs will be charged to expense.

    The Company intends to utilize a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering
to repay the $15,000 term note payable and the $3,000 subordinated note payable
(see Note 6). If the Offering is successful and such repayment occurs, the
Company will expense the remaining deferred financing costs at that date in the
consolidated statement of operations.

    Stock Option Plan

    In May 1998, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option
Plan"), pursuant to which officers, directors and key employees of the Company
and consultants to the Company are eligible to receive incentive stock options
and nonqualified stock options. The Stock Option Plan expires in May 2008. The
number of shares available for grant under the Stock Option Plan is 750,000. The
selection of participants, grant of options, determination of price and other
conditions relating to the exercise of options is determined by the entire Board
of Directors. Incentive stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan are
exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant at an exercise
price which is not less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on
the date of the grant, except that the term of an incentive stock option granted
under the Stock Option Plan to a stockholder owning more than 10% of the
outstanding Common Stock may not exceed five years and its exercise price may
not be less than 110% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the
date of the grant.

(1)  NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      Periscope Sportswear, Inc. (the "Company" or "Periscope") designs and
      manufactures apparel through contractors. The Company provides an
      extensive line of high quality women's and children's clothing, in the
      moderate price category to major retailers, primarily for sale under
      private labels. The Company operates in a highly competitive industry that
      is subject to changing consumer demands and customer preferences.

(2)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
      prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles of interim financial information and with the instructions to
      Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
      include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
      accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
      addition, cost of sales included in the accompanying consolidated
      statements of operations was computed using the gross profit method. In
      the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
      adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
      included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30,
      1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
      for the year ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to
      the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of
      December 31, 1996 and 1997 and for each of the three years in the period
      ended December 31, 1997 included in this Form 8-K/A filing.

(3)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
      
      On December 4, 1998, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the
      "Merger Agreement") with GIANT GROUP, LTD. ("GIANT"). Under the terms of
      the Merger Agreement, GIANT will issue 953,093 shares of its common stock
      in exchange for 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. In
      addition, the stockholders of the Company may receive up to an aggregate
      of 225,000 additional shares of GIANT common stock if certain operating
      results, as defined in the Merger Agreement, are achieved by the Company
      during 1999.

                                      -23-
<PAGE>
 
      The Merger Agreement also provides that GIANT will advance funds interest
      free to Periscope in order for the Company to repay the Company's $13.5
      million term note payable plus accrued interest due to BankBoston, N.A.
      and the Company's $3 million subordinated note payable plus accrued
      interest due to BancBoston Ventures.

      At September 30, 1998, the Company was not in compliance with certain
      financial ratio covenants under the term and subordinated notes payable.
      As a result, these notes payable are reflected as currently due in the
      accompanying balance sheet. At the date the loans are satisfied, the
      related deferred financing costs, which totaled $675 at September 30,
      1998, will be expensed in the Company's financial statements.

      The Merger Agreement also requires GIANT to advance funds interest free to
      Periscope, to enable the Company to repay $9 million of the then
      outstanding amounts due under the Company's accounts receivable factoring
      line with The CIT Group. GIANT is also required under the terms of the
      Merger Agreement, to provide the Company with an interest free cash
      advance in the amount of $3 million for working capital purposes.

      The Merger Agreement further provides that as a condition precedent to
      closing, BancBoston Ventures, Inc. will contribute 1,586,000 shares of the
      Company's common stock to the capital of Periscope.

      As a result of the merger with GIANT, the Company has abandoned its plans
      to complete an initial public offering of its common stock. Accordingly,
      for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company has expensed
      transaction costs related to the abandoned initial public offering
      totaling $2,415.

             PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

                                  (Unaudited)


  The following unaudited historical and pro forma condensed consolidated
  balance sheet as of September 30, 1998 and the unaudited historical and pro
  forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months
  ended September 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997 include the
  following companies: GIANT GROUP, LTD. and Periscope Sportswear, Inc.  The pro
  forma condensed consolidated statements are presented under the purchase
  method of accounting for business combinations.  The purchase method of
  accounting requires that all assets and liabilities be adjusted to their
  estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition.  The Company has not
  identified any material intangible assets related to this transaction.
  Accordingly, the excess of purchase price over net assets acquired has been
  reflected as goodwill in the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated
  balance sheet.

  The pro forma statements are provided for informational purposes only.  The
  pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily
  indicative of actual results that would have been achieved had the acquisition
  been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented, and is not
  indicative of future results.  The pro forma financial statements should be
  read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes
  thereto of GIANT GROUP, LTD. and Periscope Sportswear, Inc.

        NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
                                  (unaudited)


1.   To reflect the cash advance from the Company to Periscope and the
     subsequent payment of certain debt by Periscope.

2.   Issuance of treasury stock to acquire Periscope.  The difference between
     fair market value of the stock and the cost of the stock has been reflected
     as a charge to capital in excess of par value.

3.   To eliminate Periscope's stockholders' equity and to reflect the purchase
     of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Periscope. The recording of
     goodwill is preliminary and will be finalized upon the completion of the
     opening balance sheet of Periscope as of the date of the acquisition.

4.   To record inventory at fair market value.

5.   To record the expenses of the acquisition and reflect receivables and long-
     term debt at fair market value.

6.   To record the fair market value of the 75,000 warrants issued in connection
     with the acquisition. The warrants are exercisable over a 5 year period at
     $7.25 per common share.

7.   To write-off the unamortized deferred financing costs and to record the
     effect on the deferred tax asset related to certain debt being retired. The
     transaction has been excluded from the results of operations for the year
     ended December 31, 1997 because it is a one-time, non-recurring item.

8.   To record the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments.

9.   To increase cost of sales for Periscope inventory turnover.

10.  To reflect the amortization of goodwill resulting from the acquisition for
     the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the twelve months ended
     December 31, 1997. Amortization is over a period of 40 years.

11.  To reflect the imputed interest income and expense related to the
     discounting of the loan receivable-officer and long-term debt to present
     value.

12.  To record the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments.
