                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation:

     The consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Harlyn Products,
Inc. (USA) and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions, accounts and
balances have been eliminated.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in
the opinion of management of the Company contain all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial
position at December 31, 1995 and the results of operations and changes in cash
flows for the three and six months ended December 31, 1995. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, although management of the Company believes
that information presented therein is not misleading. For further information,
refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for
the three and six months ended December 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1996. Historically, the Company's business has followed a seasonal pattern,
realizing its greatest sales and net income in the second fiscal quarter.

NOTE 2 - Gold Consignment Agreement:

     The Company maintains a gold lease arrangement ("the gold agreement"),
pursuant to which it holds gold on consignment to meet customer orders. Under
the terms of the gold consignment agreement, the Company is entitled to lease an
aggregate of 25,000 ounces of fine gold or an aggregate consigned gold value not
to exceed $10,625,000, whichever is less. The Company held 21,700 and 22,000
ounces of gold on consignment at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995,
respectively. Consigned gold is not included in the Company's inventory. The
gold consignor has a security interest in substantially all assets of the
Company. The gold agreement expired on January 31, 1996 and management is
involved in ongoing discussions with the consignor regarding continuation of the
gold agreement. The Company is in violation of certain covenants of the gold
agreement. Nonetheless, 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.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
NOTE 3 - Bank Credit Agreement:

     The Company is involved in ongoing discussions with its primary lender
regarding its borrowing agreement and non-compliance with certain financial
covenants as of June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995. Management believes it will
be successful in extending its credit agreement with the lender or making
alternative arrangements with another lender. (See Liquidity and Capital
Resources).

NOTE 4 - Income Taxes:

     The provisions and benefits for income taxes are based on the effective
annual tax rates expected for the related years. A tax benefit related to losses
in the United States for the three and six months ended December 31, 1995 was
offset by a valuation allowance since the future benefit of the credit is not
assured. Included in other current assets is $603,000 in federal income tax
refunds, principally relating to net operating loss carry-backs. The $294,000 in
income tax benefit for the three and six months ended December 31, 1995,
reflects the final determination for such carrybacks computed, based upon the
Company's filing of its June 30, 1995 corporate tax return. The Company
anticipates collecting these amounts by or around March 31, 1996. Beginning in
December 1994, the Company was granted a three year foreign tax holiday on most
income earned in Thailand. The income tax credit of $91,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1994 resulted from a change in the estimated effective tax
rate for the year ending June 30, 1995 resulting from the foreign tax holiday.
The Company does not provide for U.S. taxes on earnings in Thailand because it
intends to reinvest those earnings indefinitely.

NOTE 5 - Inventories:

     Inventories consisted of the following:

Six Months Ended December 31, 1995 Compared to Six Months Ended 
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
December 31, 1994:
- ------------------

     Consolidated net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1995 were
$15,950,000 as compared to $21,000,000 for the same period in 1994. This
represents a decrease of 24.0% in net sales for the period. Sales by Harlyn's
U.S. operations decreased by $4,729,000 or 30% for the six months ended December
31, 1995, primarily due to lower sales of promotional and stock goods to mass
merchandisers and independent retailers. The Company redesigned its marketing
programs and narrowed its customer focus, which reduced sales to certain less
profitable market segments. Sales by Harlyn's Thailand operations decreased by
$321,000 or 6% for the six months ended December 31, 1995 primarily due to
reduced sales to customers in Mexico as a result of the peso devaluation.

     Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from 34.6% for the six
months ended December 31, 1994 to 33.7% for the six months ended December 31,
1995. At June 30, 1995 the Company established a reserve of $1,555,000 to
reconfigure its product distribution

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
program, and to terminate certain product lines. During the six months ended
December 31, 1995, the Company utilized this reserve to liquidate certain
inventory items to melt down gold and recover stones from certain jewelry
products, and to sell certain product lines at below their carrying values. The
net impact of these activities during the six months ended December 31, 1995
increased gross profit by 2%. Management expects to continue to address its
product distribution programs and the configuration of its product lines, but
does not believe any additional reserves are needed at this time . 

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $323,000 to
$5,350,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995 from $5,027,000 in the
same period in 1994. The major factors affecting the change were increases in
professional fees and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

     Interest expense increased from $793,000 for the six months ended December
31, 1994 to $1,075,000 for the comparable period in 1995 due to higher interest
rates on higher levels of borrowing in both the U.S. and Thailand.

Three Months Ended December 31, 1995 Compared to Three Months Ended 
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
December 31, 1994:
- ------------------

     Net sales decreased 8.9% to $10,889,000 for the three months ended December
31, 1995 from $11,956,000 for the comparable three months in 1994. The decrease
was principally due to the reasons stated above in the discussion of the six
month period. For the three months ended December 31, 1995, sales by Harlyn's 
U.S. operations decreased from the comparable period in 1994 by $1,378,000 or 
14.4%, principally due to the reasons stated above in the discussion of the six 
month period. For the same comparable period, Harlyn's Thailand sales increased 
by $309,000 or 12.7%, primarily due to increased third party sales.

     Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased from 31.7% for the
three months ended December 31, 1994 to 32.1% for the comparable period in 1995.
See the above discussion of the six month period.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $456,000 to
$3,144,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 1995 from $2,688,000
for the comparable three month period in 1994, principally due to the reasons
stated above in the discussion of the six month period.

     Interest expenses increased $109,000 for the three months ended December
31, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994, principally for the reasons stated
in the discussion of the six month period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     Net receivables increased by $774,000 from $12,648,000 on June 30, 1995 to
$13,422,000 on December 31, 1995. This increase was primarily due to the
seasonal nature of sales in which the Company realizes its greatest volume of
sales in its second fiscal quarter.
 
     The Company relies on its credit facilities, gold consignment program and
internally generated funds to finance operations. Outstanding bank debt at
December 31, 1995 amounted to line of credit borrowings of $11,988,000 against
available consolidated credit lines of $12,100,000 and $4,883,000 of long term
debt of which $3,568,000 is current. Due to the Company's non-compliance with
certain bank covenants as of December 31, 1995, a term loan, in the amount of
$3,417,000 nominally due within the next four years, has been reclassified as
short-term debt on the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 1995. The
Company is involved in ongoing discussions with its primary lender regarding the
borrowing agreement and its non-compliance with the covenants. Management
believes it will be successful in extending its credit agreement with the lender
or in making alternative arrangements with another lender.

     Under the gold agreement, the Company leases substantially all of the gold
it uses and is not required to pay the lessor until product into which the gold
is incorporated is sold (see Note 2 - Gold Consignment Agreement). The Company
is required to maintain gold inventory in addition to its gold pool. The lessor
has notified the Company that its additional gold inventory has been
insufficient to meet required collateral levels. Such collateral deficiencies
are defined as Events of Default under the Company's consignment agreement with
the lessor. Management is involved in ongoing discussions with the lessor
regarding continuation of the gold agreement. If the current gold lessor does
not reach a new agreement with the Company, management believes that other gold
lessors would be willing to enter into similar arrangements.
