ITEM 1:  BUSINESS

Since 1966, the principal business of Harlyn Products, Inc. (the "Company")
has been the manufacture of gold and silver jewelry in the United States and
Thailand and the wholesale distribution of such items to distributors,
department stores and retail jewelers throughout the Americas, the Orient and
Europe.  The Company features a domestic service policy on U.S. special
orders of delivery within two days of order, and primarily utilizes its
Thailand capacity to satisfy International demand.  The Company also sells
items from stock.  Currently, more than 90% of sales are derived from gold
and silver jewelry items.

The Company manufactures gold and silver items such as family jewelry,
precious and semi-precious stone jewelry, diamond jewelry, initial jewelry,
and wedding bands. These product groups may comprise rings, pendants,
earrings, chains, pins and tie tacks.  The Company's jewelry is intended for
sale in the medium price range and is predominately worn by women.

The Company manufactures its own products in Los Angeles, California and
through its subsidiaries, Harlyn Products (Thailand), Ltd. and Harlyn
International Co., Ltd., in Bangkok, Thailand.  The Company uses its Thailand
subsidiaries as a source for its own supply and for third-party sales
internationally.  In the United States, the Company directly markets its
products to national, regional and local stores. Internationally, the Company
utilizes sales representatives and jewelry fairs to market its products.
Historically, the Company's domestic sales have followed a seasonal pattern
with peak sales in the periods immediately preceding Christmas and Mother's
Day.  The approximate percentages of total net sales for each fiscal quarter
of the fiscal years 1995 and 1994 are shown in the following table:

The Company distributes base metal (non-precious) jewelry samples to retail
outlets, which secure custom orders for gold or silver items made to
consumers' specifications. Base metal


                                      2

<PAGE>

samples are difficult to distinguish in appearance from gold jewelry and
serve as visual aids, helping consumers select designs of their choice.  The
Company also uses gold plated silver jewelry samples, which are carried by
the Company's sales representatives as sales aids.

The jewelry business is highly competitive, with price, quality and service
being the bases for competition.  While the Company is an important factor in
the ring manufacturing industry, there are numerous companies engaged in
offering products similar to those of the Company.  Some of these companies
have been established longer and have greater financial resources and sales
and marketing capabilities than the Company.

The Company experienced no shortage of raw materials during the past fiscal
year, and it does not anticipate any in the foreseeable future.  However, due
to the speculative nature of these commodities, there is no way to predict
future costs to the Company.

The Company maintains a gold lease arrangement pursuant to which it holds
gold on consignment to meet customer orders.  The Company maintains a  lease
arrangement which provides for a credit line of up to $10,625,000. The gold
consignment agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial
covenants with respect to working capital, capital expenditures, debt
service coverage and other financial ratios. At June 30, 1995, the Company
was not in compliance with the covenant for the maintenance of debt service
coverage. Management is involved in ongoing discussions with the gold
consignor and anticipates a positive outcome.

The Company sells gold and silver rings and jewelry items under the trade
names of "Del Conte Mfg. Co.," "Palomar Co.," "P.C. Mfg. Jewelers," "Harlyn
Products," "Paramount," "Harlyn Thailand," "Wilshire International," "George
Hoffman and Sons" and "Ro-Mel." Sales to Wal-Mart accounted for 10% of the
Company's sales in 1995, while sales to the J.C. Penney Company accounted for
11% and 12% of the Company's sales in 1994 and 1993.

The National Stamping Act requires that a manufacturer of gold products stamp
a trademark on any item with a quality mark such as 10K or 14K gold.  The
Company uses the registered trademarks:  "PALOMAR," "PC," and the letter "P"
in a pear-shaped form.

On June 30, 1995, the Company employed approximately 180 U.S. employees.  Of
these, 112 were factory employees.  Of the remainder of the employees, 4 were
executive personnel, 27 were engaged in administrative and clerical work, and
37 were engaged in sales and marketing.  In addition, there were
approximately 375 employees in Thailand.  The Company does not have a
collective bargaining agreement and believes that its employee relations are
good.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1995 COMPARED TO 1994

Net sales for fiscal 1995 were $36,009,000 compared to $33,483,000 for fiscal
1994, an increase of 8%.  Domestic sales increased by $1,379,000 (or 6%) over
1994 due to higher sales to the retail jewelry market in the first half of
the year, partially a result of the Company's expanded marketing efforts.
Net sales by Harlyn's Thailand subsidiaries to unaffiliated customers
increased by $1,147,000 (or 13%) over 1994 as a weakened European economy was
offset by expansion into Middle Eastern and South American markets.  The
Company's sales volume can be affected by significant fluctuations in the
price of gold as the Company's selling prices to customers are adjusted to
correspond with fluctuations in the gold price. The average gold price in
1995 was $384 per troy ounce compared to $379 in 1994, a difference which had
no material impact on sales.

Gross profit for fiscal 1995 was $12,089,000 compared to $12,931,000 in fiscal
1994. Gross profit margin for fiscal 1995 decreased from 39% to 34%.  The
decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a less favorable product mix in
the United States, competitive pricing pressures and production
inefficiencies caused by bringing the new Thailand facility online.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1995 increased from
$9,484,000 to $10,494,000 and, as a percent of net sales, from 28% to 29%.
The increase is due primarily to higher costs associated with new marketing
and promotional programs targeting stock merchandise sales to independent
retailers and additional expenses incurred in the opening of the Thailand
facility.

In fiscal 1995, management initiated plans to reduce overhead and
administrative costs, to eliminate certain marginal product lines and improve
cash flow by disposing of inventories through alternative distribution
channels. Product lines targeted under the plan include Fashion Z, Wilshire
International and George Hoffman and Sons. In implementing these plans,
management provided a $1,555,000 charge to operations during the fourth
quarter of 1995 to reflect terminated product lines and costs associated with
utilizing alternative distribution channels to liquidate inventory.

Interest expense increased by $355,000 in fiscal 1995 due both to higher
interest rates and higher levels of borrowings.


                                      6

<PAGE>

During fiscal 1995, the Company recorded a $1,749,000 consolidated pretax
loss.  U.S. pretax losses of $2,635,000 were partially offset by $886,000 of
pretax income in Thailand.  The majority of Thailand income was generated by
the Company's new subsidiary, Harlyn International, which began a three year
tax holiday in December 1994 as a Thai Board of Investment sponsored
corporation.  The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on earnings
in Thailand because it intends to reinvest those earnings indefinitely. The
decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily the result of the tax holiday
in Thailand, the benefit derived from the U.S. pretax losses, all principally
offset by the provision for a valuation allowance against the Company's net
deferred income tax asset.

1994 COMPARED TO 1993

Net sales for fiscal 1994 were $33,483,000 compared to $30,647,000 for fiscal
1993, an increase of 9%.  Domestic sales increased by $5,159,000 (or 26%)
over 1993 due to a recovery in the retail jewelry market and the domestic
economy as a whole, as well as the Company's intensified and expanded
marketing efforts.  Net sales by Harlyn Thailand to unaffiliated customers
decreased by $2,323,000 (or 21%) over 1993 as a weakened European economy
affected the Company's European markets; while total net sales by Harlyn
Thailand, including sales to Harlyn U.S., decreased by $599,000 (or 4%).  The
average gold price in 1994 was $379 per troy ounce compared to $347 in 1993,
which had a $600,000 positive impact on sales.

Gross profit for fiscal 1994 was $12,931,000 compared to $10,885,000 in
fiscal 1993.  The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase
in U.S. sales volume.  Gross margin increased from 36% to 39% due to greater
domestic sales of products manufactured in Thailand at more favorable labor
rates.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1994 increased from
$7,689,000 to $9,484,000 and, as a percent of net sales, from 25% to 28%.
The increase is due primarily to higher costs associated with new marketing
and promotional programs targeting stock merchandise sales to independent
retailers.  It also included expenses of $124,000 related to the opening of
the new Thailand subsidiary, Harlyn International, and the creation of a new
venture in China.  Income from operations increased by $251,000 (or 8%) from
the prior year.

Interest expense increased by $473,000 in fiscal 1994 due both to higher
interest rates and $287,000 in bank fees related to loan extensions of the
Company's U.S. borrowings.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective July 1, 1993.  The cumulative
effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 as of July 1, 1993 and the effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1994
was not significant.


                                      7

<PAGE>

The effective tax rate in 1994 and 1993 was 27% and 30%, respectively, as the
Thailand operation contributed substantial amounts of profit at lower tax
rates than in the United States. The decrease in the effective rate from 1993
was principally due to the availability of certain tax credit carryforwards
arising in 1994.  The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on
earnings in Thailand because it intends to reinvest those earnings
indefinitely.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company relies on its credit facilities, gold consignment program, and
internally generated funds to finance operations.

Under the terms of the gold consignment agreement, the Company is entitled to
lease the lesser of an aggregate of 25,000 ounces of fine gold or an
aggregate consigned gold value not to exceed $10,625,000.  The Company held
22,000 ounces, or approximately $8,515,000, of gold on consignment at June
30, 1995.  This gold is not included in the Company's inventory.  The Company
pays the gold consignor a consignment fee calculated using the dollar
equivalent value of ounces outstanding and based on the daily Second London
Gold Fixing.

The gold consignor has a security interest in substantially all assets of the
Company. The consignment agreement requires the Company to maintain certain
covenants with respect to working capital, capital expenditures, debt service
coverage and other financial ratios.  At June 30, 1995, the Company was not
in compliance with the debt service coverage covenant. Management is involved
in ongoing discussions with the gold consignor regarding an extension of their
agreement and believes such discussions will be successful.  Management's plans
concerning this matter are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

The consignment agreement is terminable by the Company or the gold consignor
upon 90 days notice.  If the gold consignor were to terminate its existing
gold consignment arrangement, the Company does not believe it would
experience an interruption of its gold supply that would materially adversely
affect its business.  The Company believes that other gold consignors would
be willing to enter into similar arrangements if the current gold consignor
terminates its relationship with the Company.

The Company has a credit agreement with a bank that includes a revolving line
of credit and a $5,000,000 term loan.  The line of credit agreement provides
for maximum borrowings of $10,500,000 subject to a borrowing base of 65% of
eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 30% of inventory or
$4,000,000.  Outstanding borrowings under the line of credit totaled
$9,305,000 at June 30, 1995.  Approximately $8,000 was available under the
line of credit at


                                      8

<PAGE>

June 30, 1995.  Borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime rate (9.0% at
June 30, 1995) plus 0.5%.  The line of credit currently expires on April 1,
1996, subject to annual renewal.  The term loan requires monthly principal
payments of $83,000 plus interest at the bank's prime rate (9.0% at June 30,
1995) plus 0.5% through March 1999.  On July 21, 1995, subsequent to the
fiscal 1995 year end, the bank increased the interest rate applicable to both
the line of credit and term loan to its prime rate (8.75% at July 21, 1995)
plus 1.5%.

Substantially all assets are pledged as collateral for borrowings under the
credit agreement, which is, however subordinated to the gold consignment
agreement to the extent of gold on hand.  The credit agreement contains
certain restrictive covenants, including maintenance of minimum working
capital, tangible net worth, cash coverage, current ratio, debt to tangible
net worth and insurance coverage.  The agreement also requires the Company to
maintain profitable operations on a semiannual basis. Additional restrictions
place limits on other encumbrances, liens and borrowings, liquidations or
mergers, loans and guarantees, payment of any dividends, retirement of stock,
fixed asset expenditures and leasing activities.  At June 30, 1995, the
Company was not in compliance with certain of these covenants.  Management is
involved in ongoing discussions with the bank regarding non-compliance with
the credit agreement.  Management will continue its discussions with the bank
concerning an extension of its credit agreement and believes such discussions
will prove successful.  Management's plans concerning this matter are described
in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company also has a credit agreement with a bank in Thailand that includes
a revolving line of credit and a 26,108,000 Thai Baht term loan ($1,060,000
at June 30, 1995).  The line of credit provides for maximum borrowings of
40,000,000 Thai Baht (approximately $1,600,000 at June 30, 1995).
Outstanding borrowings under the line of credit at June 30, 1995 totaled
30,000,000 Thai Baht (approximately $1,200,000 at June 30, 1995) and bear
interest at 14.5%.  The credit agreement does not contain any restrictive
covenants and is collateralized by the manufacturing facility and
corresponding land in Thailand.  The term loan requires monthly principal
payments of $22,000 plus interest at the bank's minimum lending rate (10.25%
at June 30, 1995) plus 1.0% through May 1999.

During the year ended June 30, 1995, $1,129,000 of cash was used for
operating activities compared to $2,197,000 for the comparable period of the
prior year. Cash used in investing activities increased from $2,242,000 to
$2,295,000 for the year ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  The
primary component of cash used in investing activities was the construction
of the Company's new manufacturing facility in Thailand.

Net receivables increased by $1,349,000 from a June 30, 1994 balance of
$11,299,000 to $12,648,000 as of June 30, 1995 primarily due to increased
U.S. sales particularly sales of stock merchandise which generally carry
lengthier payment terms.  Reserves for sales returns and doubtful accounts
increased from $356,000 to $725,000 due to rising levels of returned product
and a weakening of financial strength in certain U.S. jewelry retailers.

Management believes it will continue to meet its obligations on a timely
basis.  Plans to reconfigure the Company's product distribution program and
terminate certain product lines will generate additional cash proceeds.  In
addition, plans to further reduce overhead and decrease spending related to
certain marketing and promotional programs will assist the Company in
returning to profitability.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors of
 Harlyn Products, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Harlyn
Products, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1995.  Our audits
also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item
14.  These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Harlyn Products, Inc. and
subsidiaries at June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in
our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

HARLYN PRODUCTS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  GENERAL

    Harlyn Products, Inc. (the "Company") is a California
    corporation engaged in manufacturing and selling gold
    and silver jewelry to department stores and retail
    jewelers throughout the United States.  The Company also
    manufactures and sells jewelry through its Thailand
    subsidiary to customers worldwide, primarily in Europe
    and Japan.

    The Company incurred a $1,873,000 net loss for the year
    ended June 30, 1995.  In addition, as discussed in Notes
    6 and 13, there were violations of certain financial
    covenants of the United States bank credit agreement for
    the Company's revolving line of credit and term loan and
    also a violation of the debt service coverage covenant of
    the gold consignment agreement.

    The loss was caused principally by the Company's decision
    to reconfigure its product distribution program and to
    terminate certain product lines.  A $1,555,000 reserve
    was charged to the fourth quarter of 1995 to reflect
    anticipated costs to be incurred in implementing this
    program.  Also, a deferred tax asset valuation allowance
    of $1,201,000 was established in the fourth quarter of 1995
    as described in Note 8.

    Management has initiated plans to reduce overhead and
    certain administrative costs to improve profitability.
    These plans consist principally of a decrease in certain
    marketing and promotional programs which proved unsuccessful
    during 1995.  Management will continue its discussions with
    its bank and gold consignor to extend these agreements and
    believes the discussions will be successful.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial
    statements include the accounts of the Company and its
    subsidiaries, Harlyn (Thailand) Company Limited
    ("Thailand"), Harlyn International Limited
    ("International"), Wilshire International, Inc.
    ("Wilshire") and George Hoffman Jewelry Manufacturing,
    Inc. ("Hoffman").  All significant intercompany balances
    and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


                                     19
<PAGE>


    SALES - Sales are recognized when products are shipped
    less allowances for sales returns, based upon
    management's assessment of potential returns.

    CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly
    liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three
    months or less to be cash equivalents.

    INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of
    cost or market using the first-in, first-out method of
    accounting.

    PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and
    equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation and
    amortization are being provided for principally on the
    straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
    the assets (see Note 4).  Leasehold improvements are
    amortized over the related lease term.  Certain product
    samples, which have a resale value, are stated at the
    lower of cost or market.

    INCOME TAXES - The Company adopted Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
    Income Taxes," effective July 1, 1993.  SFAS No. 109
    requires the liability method of accounting for deferred
    income taxes and the recognition of net deferred tax
    assets subject to an ongoing assessment of
    realizability.  The cumulative effect of adopting the
    Statement as of July 1, 1993 and the effect on the
    Company's consolidated financial statements for the
    years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 was not significant.

    Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of
    temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
    assets and liabilities for financial reporting and
    income tax purposes.

    FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - The financial position
    and results of operations of Thailand and International
    are measured using the local currency (Baht) as its
    functional currency.  Assets and liabilities have been
    translated at current exchange rates, and related
    revenues and expenses have been translated at average
    exchange rates in effect for the period.  The cumulative
    effect of the foreign currency translation is not
    material.

    EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND COMMON SHARE EQUIVALENT -
    Earnings per common share and common share equivalent
    are computed based upon the weighted average number of
    shares of common stock and common share equivalents
    assumed outstanding during the related periods.

    CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK - The Company's financial
    instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit
    risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable.
    These amounts result primarily from sales to
    department stores and retail jewelers.  Sales to one
    customer accounted for 10% of sales in 1995. Trade
    receivables from this customer totaled $444,000 as of
    June 30, 1995. Sales to another customer accounted for
    11% and 12% of sales in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
    Trade receivables from this customer totaled $487,000
    as of June 30, 1994. Ongoing credit evaluations of its
    customers' financial condition are performed by the
    Company and an allowance for doubtful accounts is
    maintained.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications have been
    made to the prior years financial statements to conform
    with the current year presentation.

    Depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was
    $1,559,000, $1,900,000 and $1,739,000, respectively.

5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    The Company leases its U.S. manufacturing and administrative office
    facilities on a month-to-month basis. Three of the facilities are
    owned by a revocable trust created by the Chairman of the Board of
    Directors, and one is owned by an irrevocable trust for the benefit of
    the children of the Chairman (the "Lessors").  Total rent expense
    related to the above leases, net of taxes, insurance and maintenance
    expenses, was $324,000 in 1995 and 1994 and $329,000 in 1993.

    As of June 30, 1995, $76,000 was receivable from one of the Lessors for
    reimbursement of earthquake construction costs and is repayable in
    installments of $5,000 per month.  Accordingly, $60,000, the current
    portion, is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and
    $16,000 is included in other assets at June 30, 1995.  Outstanding
    balances accrue interest at the Company's short-term borrowing rate. In
    1993, the Company redeemed 32,246 shares of stock owned by a partnership
    created by the Chairman for consideration of $99,000.


                                      21
<PAGE>

    During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company incurred printing
    expenses of $618,000, $533,000 and $263,000, respectively, from
    companies controlled by the Chairman.

6.  BANK LINE OF CREDIT

    The Company has a credit agreement with a bank that includes a
    revolving line of credit and a $5,000,000 term loan (see Note 7).
    The line of credit agreement provides for maximum borrowings of
    $10,500,000 subject to a borrowing base of 65% of eligible
    accounts receivable plus the lesser of 30% of inventory or
    $4,000,000.  Outstanding borrowings under the line of credit
    totaled $9,305,000 at June 30, 1995. Approximately $8,000 is
    available under the line of credit at June 30, 1995.  The line
    of credit is used to fund working capital requirements, and
    borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime rate (9% at
    June 30, 1995) plus 0.5%.  The line of credit expires on April 1, 1996.
    As of July 21, 1995 the interest rates for the line of credit and term
    loan were amended to the bank's prime rate (8.75% at July 21, 1995) plus
    1.5%.

    The line of credit includes a subfeature which provides for the
    issuance of commercial letters of credit, not to exceed an
    aggregate at any time of $100,000.  Letters of credit may be for
    periods of up to 180 days with expiration dates no later than
    April 1, 1996.  There were no outstanding borrowings under
    letters of credit at June 30, 1995.

    The credit agreement contains certain restrictive covenants,
    including maintenance of minimum working capital, tangible net
    worth, cash coverage, current ratio, debt to tangible net worth
    and insurance coverage.  The agreement also requires the Company
    to maintain profitable operations on a semiannual basis.
    Additional restrictions place limits on other encumbrances, liens
    and borrowings, liquidations or mergers, loans and guarantees,
    payment of any dividends, retirement of stock, fixed asset
    expenditures and leasing activities.  At June 30, 1995, the
    Company was not in compliance with certain of these covenants.
    Management is involved in ongoing discussions with the bank regarding
    non-compliance with the credit agreement.  Management's plans
    concerning this matter are further described in Note 1.

    Substantially all assets are pledged as collateral for borrowings
    under the credit agreement which is, however, subordinated to the
    gold consignment agreement referred to in Note 13 to the extent
    of the consigned gold on hand.

    The Company also has a credit agreement with a bank in Thailand
    that includes a revolving line of credit and a 26,108,000 Thai
    Baht term loan ($1,060,000 at June 30, 1995) (see Note 7).  The
    line of credit provides for maximum borrowings of 40,000,000 Thai
    Baht (approximately $1,600,000 at June 30, 1995).  Outstanding
    borrowings under the line of credit at June 30, 1995 totaled
    30,000,000 baht (approximately $1,200,000) and bear interest at
    14.5%.  The credit agreement does not contain any restrictive
    covenants and is collateralized by the manufacturing facility and
    related land in Thailand.

</TABLE>

    The entire $3,917,000 term loan payable to the bank was classified as
    short-term due to the Company's non-compliance with certain financial
    covenants contained in the Company's credit agreement with the bank as
    described in Note 6.

    Accordingly, the annual future principal payment maturities on long-term
    debt are as follows:  1996, $4,239,000, 1997, $295,000; 1998,$287,000;
    1999, $248,000 and thereafter $410,000.

    Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a)
    temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
    liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used
    for income tax purposes, and (b) operating loss and tax credit
    carryforwards.  The following represents the tax effects of
    significant items comprising the Company's deferred income taxes
    as of June 30, 1995 and 1994.  A valuation allowance is provided
    when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred
    tax assets will not be realized.  As of June 30, 1995, the Company
    has a $1,201,000 net deferred tax asset, however, the Company
    provided a valuation allowance to offset the net deferred tax
    asset since the future benefit of these assets is not assured.

9.  OTHER ASSETS

    At June 30, 1995 and 1994, other assets include $561,000 and
    $677,000 of advances made by the Company to irrevocable trusts,
    established in June 1990 for the purpose of providing retirement
    benefits to certain executive officers and employees.  The rights
    of the participants to retirement benefits are limited to the
    assets of the individual trusts (principally life insurance
    policies), against which the Company has priority claims for all
    advances made by it.  Such advances are collateralized by the
    cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.  The Company
    has no future obligations to make additional advances or to pay
    retirement benefits to the participants.  The Company is,
    however, obligated to transfer to the individual trusts any
    income tax savings actually realized by it as a result of the
    trusts' being included in consolidated tax filings of the
    Company.  Borrowings of $410,000 against the cash surrender value
    of the related life insurance policies are included in long-term
    debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet (see Note 7)
    as of June 30, 1995.

    During 1995, the Company entered into a barter agreement whereby
    it exchanged $615,000 of its inventory in exchange for barter
    credits to be used for advertising, travel and promotional
    services.  The credits, which expire in July 1999, are valued at
    the Company's cost of the inventory exchanged, which approximated
    its fair market value.  As of June 30, 1995 and 1994 barter
    credits of $603,000 and $53,000 are included in other assets in
    the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

    Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to pay
    cash equal to a negotiated amount of the bartered services and to
    use the barter credits to pay the balance.  These credits are
    charged to expense as they are used.  During the year ended June
    30, 1995, the Company charged $16,000 to selling, general and
    administrative expenses for barter credits used.  The Company
    assesses the recoverability of barter credits periodically.
    Factors considered in evaluating the recoverability include
    management's plans with respect to advertising and other
    expenditures for which barter credits can be used.  Any
    impairment losses are charged to operations as they are
    determined.  During the year ended June 30, 1995 the Company
    charged $80,000 to selling, general and administrative expenses
    for such impairment losses.

10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

    At June 30, 1995, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 217,190
    shares held by members of the Company's Board of Directors,
    expiring in 1999, were exercisable at prices ranging from $2.04
    to $4.38 per share, the fair market values on dates of grant.

    At June 30, 1995, 115,750 options were exercisable at prices
    ranging from $2.50 to $4.81 per share.

12. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND COMMON SHARE EQUIVALENT

    Earnings per common share and common share equivalent are
    computed using the weighted average number of common shares
    outstanding during the period, including common share equivalents
    arising from the assumed conversion of any outstanding dilutive
    stock options and warrants.  Proceeds from the exercise of such
    options and warrants are assumed to be used to repurchase the
    Company's common stock at the average market price ("treasury
    stock" method) for each of the three years during the period
    ended June 30, 1995.  Weighted average common shares and common
    share equivalents outstanding were computed as follows:

</TABLE>

    Fully diluted earnings per share for each year have not been
    presented, as the computation would dilute the per share amounts
    by less than 3%, which is not considered to be significant.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    BONUS PLAN - The Company has a bonus plan for key employees.
    The plan provides for performance-based bonuses aggregating 12%
    of pre-tax profits in excess of a maximum of 25% of shareholders'
    equity at the start of the year.  No amounts were charged to
    expense in 1995, 1994 and 1993.


                                       26

    CONSIGNMENT INVENTORY - The Company has a consignment agreement
    with a gold consignor, providing for a maximum aggregate
    consignment of 25,000 fine troy ounces of gold.  At June 30, 1995
    and 1994, the Company had on consignment 22,000 and 21,472 troy
    ounces, respectively, of gold from the gold consignor.  This gold
    is not included in inventories on the consolidated balance
    sheets.  As gold is manufactured into finished products and sold,
    the Company pays the prevailing gold market price for the gold
    utilized.  The fair market value of the consigned gold
    approximated $8,515,000 and $8,340,000, at  June 30, 1995 and
    1994, respectively.  The gold consignors have a security interest
    in substantially all of the assets of the Company.  The Company
    pays to the gold consignors a consignment fee based on the dollar
    equivalent value of ounces outstanding, computed based on the
    Second London Gold Fixing, as defined in the agreement.

    The consignment agreement requires the Company to maintain
    certain covenants with respect to working capital, capital
    expenditures, debt service coverage and other financial ratios.
    At June 30, 1995, the Company was not in compliance with the
    covenant for the maintenance of debt service coverage.
    Management is involved in ongoing discussions with the gold
    consignor and anticipates a positive outcome, however, the
    Company has not received a waiver regarding such non-compliance.
    Management's plans concerning this matter are described in Note 1.

    OPERATING LEASES - The Company leases its principal U.S.
    operating facilities from related parties (see Note 5) under
    month-to-month leases.

    The Company also leases certain Thailand facilities and certain
    equipment under noncancelable operating leases expiring through
    1999.  Future minimum rental payments under noncancelable
    operating leases are as follows:  1996, $44,000; 1997, $24,000;
    1998, $16,000 and 1999, $7,000.

    Rent expense relating to noncancelable operating leases was
    $51,000, $82,000 and $155,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
    respectively.

    POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT - The U.S. Customs Service has made claims
    for certain custom duties and penalties against the Company.  The
    Company has established a reserve for what it believes to be its
    potential ultimate liability regarding such claims and is
    continuing to work with the U.S. Customs Service to resolve such
    claims.  The Company believes that the reserves should be adequate
    for the ultimate outcome with regard to such claims, and that the
    effect of any additional customs duties and penalty, if any, will
    not be material to the consolidated financial statements.

    As discussed in Note 1, management has initiated plans to eliminate
    certain marginal product lines, improve cash flow by disposing of
    inventories through alternative distribution channels and reduce
    overhead and administrative expenses.  In implementing these plans,
    management provided a $1,555,000 charge to operations during the fourth
    quarter of 1995 to reflect terminated product lines and costs associated
    with utilizing alternative distribution channels to liquidate certain
    inventory.  Additionally, as described in Note 8, the Company provided a
    $1,201,000 valuation allowance against its net deferred income tax asset
    at June 30, 1995.

    During the three months ended June 30, 1994, the Company incurred $124,000
    of start-up costs associated with a new venture in China and new operations
    in Thailand.  Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses
    for the three months ended June 30, 1994 included an increase of $600,000,
    compared to the same quarter in the previous year, of selling and marketing
    expenses related to the initiation of marketing and promotional programs.
