         The  consolidated   balance  sheet  as  of  August  31,  1996  and  the
         consolidated  statements of operations  for the twenty-six and thirteen
         week  periods and  statements  of cash flows for the  twenty-six  weeks
         ended  August 31,  1996 and August 26,  1995 have been  prepared by the
         Company  without audit.  In the opinion of management,  all adjustments
         (consisting  of only normal  recurring  accruals)  necessary for a fair
         presentation  of  the  financial   position  of  the  Company  and  its
         subsidiaries at August 31, 1996 and the results of their operations for
         the  twenty-six  and  thirteen  week  periods  and cash  flows  for the
         twenty-six  weeks  ended  August 31, 1996 and August 26, 1995 have been
         made on a consistent basis.

         Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included in
         financial  statements  prepared in accordance  with generally  accepted
         accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
         that these  consolidated  financial  statements be read in  conjunction
         with the consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto included
         in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

3.       INCOME TAXES

         At August 31, 1996 the Company had a net  deferred  tax asset in excess
         of  $5,500,000  which is fully  reserved  until it can be  utilized  to
         offset deferred tax liabilities or realized against taxable income. The
         Company had a net operating loss carryforward for book and tax purposes
         of  approximately  $12,000,000.  Accordingly,  no provision  for income
         taxes has been  reflected  in the  accompanying  financial  statements.
         Certain tax  regulations  relating to the change in ownership may limit
         the Company's  ability to utilize it's net operating loss  carryforward
         if the ownership change,  as computed under such  regulations,  exceeds
         50%. Through August 31, 1996 the change in ownership was  approximately
         46%.

4.       PRIVATE PLACEMENT

         On August 15,  1996,  the  Company  completed  a $3.5  million  private
         placement  with an investment  partnership.  Terms of this  transaction
         included  the  issuance  of  250,000   shares  and   $2,760,000   12.5%
         convertible subordinated debentures which are due August 15, 2001.

         The  convertible  subordinated  debentures  are  secured  by  a  second
         mortgage  on the  Company's  manufacturing  and  distribution  facility
         located in  Cartersville,  GA. The debentures are convertible  into the
         Company's common stock over the next five years as follows:

                                                  Conversion    Conversion
                                                     Shares       Price
                                                  ----------    ----------
                  Currently Convertible              305,000      $3.83
                  After June 15, 1997                318,370      $5.00

         The agreement grants the investor certain  registration  rights for the
         shares issued and the Conversion Shares to be issued.

         The  difference  between the  purchase  price of the shares  issued and
         their fair market  value  aggregated  $197,500.  This was  reflected as
         deferred  issue costs and will be  amortized  over the  expected 5 year
         term of the subordinated convertible debentures.

         Costs  associated  with  this  private  placement  aggregated  $360,000
         including $104,000 related to the shares issued which have been charged
         to paid in capital. The remaining balance of $256,000 will be amortized
         over the 5 year term of the debentures

         The  Company  utilized  $533,333  of the  proceeds to prepay all of its
         obligations  pursuant to its Credit Agreement dated March 21, 1994 with
         Chemical Bank.

5.       UNUSUAL CHARGE

         In March, 1994, the Company terminated the employment  contracts of its
         Chairman  and  Vice  Chairman.   In  accordance   with  the  underlying
         agreement, they will be paid an aggregate of approximately $400,000 per
         year in severance, as well as certain other benefits,  through February
         28, 1999. The present value of these payments,  $1,915,000, was accrued
         at February 26, 1994. Through August 31, 1996, $975,000 of this accrual
         has been  paid;  $770,000  through  March 2, 1996 and  $205,000  in the
         current fiscal year through August 31, 1996

6.       CREDIT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT

         On May 31, 1996,  the Company  amended its Loan and Security  Agreement
         with  Congress  Financial   Corporation  dated  March  24,  1994.  This
         amendment  provided  (a) $ 251,000 in  additional  equipment  term loan
         financing,  (b) extension of the repayment  period for all  outstanding
         equipment term loans, (c) supplemental revolving loan availability from
         March  1st  through  June 30th of each  year and (d)  extension  of the
         renewal date to March 20, 1998.

7.       LITIGATION

         In  September  1993,  the  Company  filed an action  against the former
         owners of Phoenix Associates, Inc. ("Phoenix").  The Company is seeking
         compensatory  damages of approximately  $4,000,000 plus declaratory and
         injunctive  relief for acts of  alleged  securities  fraud,  fraudulent
         conveyances,  breach of  fiduciary  trust  and  unfair  competition  in
         connection with the acquisition of the common stock of Phoenix.

         Additionally,  the  Company  has filed a demand for  arbitration  which
         seeks  compensatory  damages  of  $4,000,000,  rescission  of the stock
         purchase  agreement,  rescission of an  employment  agreement and other
         mater,  all on  account  of  alleged  breaches  of the  stock  purchase
         agreement, fraudulent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duties.

         In November  1993,  the former  owners of Phoenix  filed  counterclaims
         against the Company alleging improper  termination with regard to their
         employment  agreement and breach of the stock purchase  agreement.  The
         former owners have filed for damages of approximately

         $9,000,000.  The actions remain in their preliminary stage. The Company
         considers the damages in the claim to be insupportable  and believes it
         will likely prevail on its defenses to such counterclaims. In the third
         quarter  of the  1996  fiscal  year,  the  Company  concluded  that its
         counterclaims  against the holder of the  subordinated  note payable to
         the former owner of Phoenix,  are in excess of the $300,000 due and, in
         the opinion of legal  counsel and  management,  the  likelihood  of any
         payment of this note is remote.

         The  Company is subject to other  legal  proceedings  and claims  which
         arise in the ordinary course of its business.

         In the opinion of  management,  the Phoenix  litigation and other legal
         proceedings  and  claims  will be  successfully  defended  or  resolved
         without  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  consolidated  financial
         position or results of operation to the Company.  No provision has been
         made by the Company with respect to the  aforementioned  litigation  as
         August 31, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Sales

Net sales for the six months ended August 31, 1996 decreased 18% from prior year
levels to $14,663,000. This decline reflects the planned inventory reductions by
Nantucket's customers during the first fiscal quarter of the current fiscal year
in anticipation  of the  introduction of Brittania by Levi's line. In the second
fiscal  quarter,  sales  increased  $738,000  over prior year levels,  generally
reflecting the initial shipments of this exciting new product designation. Sales
of the  Company's  GUESS?  products  decreased  slightly from prior year levels,
reflecting  a  transition  from the  close-out  of slow  moving  products to the
Company's  new GUESS?  Essentials  line.  In the second  quarter of the  current
fiscal year, Nantucket shipped two GUESS?  Essentials product groups and initial
shipments of the third group were made in September, 1996.


Gross Margin

Gross profit  margins for the six months ended  August 31, 1996  decreased  from
prior year levels of 27% to 19%.  Gross  profit  margins for the second  quarter
decreased  from 29% to 23%. This decline is a result of increased  manufacturing
variances  associated  with  additional  processing  costs of imported  garments
coupled with the impact of fully reserved close-out sales of the GUESS?  product
during the first and second quarters.


Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended August 31,
1996 reflect a slight  decrease of $48,000 from prior year levels to $3,724,000.
Increases in fixed  expenses for the period of $300,000 were offset by decreases
in variable selling expenses of $348,000.  Second quarter expenses  increased by
$205,000 to  $1,958,000  compared to $1,753,000  from the second  quarter of the
prior  year.  This  increase  is due to a  reduction  in prior year  expenses of
$102,000  as a result  of an  insurance  claim  settlement  and an  increase  in
administrative management staffing in the current year.

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

In March,  1994 the Company was successful in refinancing its credit  agreements
with (i) a three  year  $15,000,000  revolving  credit  facility  with  Congress
Financial, (ii) a $2,000,000 Term Loan Agreement with Chemical Bank and (iii) an
additional  $1,500,000 Term Loan with Congress  replacing the Industrial Revenue
Bond financing of the Cartersville, Georgia manufacturing plant.

On May 31,  1996,  the Company  amended  its Loan and  Security  Agreement  with
Congress Financial Corporation dated March 24, 1994. This amendment provided (a)
$251,000 in  additional  equipment  term loan  financing,  (b)  extension of the
repayment period for all outstanding term loans, (c) supplemental revolving loan
availability  from March 1st through June 30th of each year and (d) extension of
the renewal date to March 20, 1998.

Additionally,  the  Company has  increased  its equity over the past three years
through  (i) a  $1,000,000  investment  by the  Management  Group  (ii) the $2.9
million  sale of 490,000  shares of common  treasury  stock to GUESS?,  Inc. and
certain of its affiliates  and (iii) the $3.5 million  private  placement  which
included the issuance of 250,000 shares and $2,760,000 convertible  subordinated
debentures.  These  transactions,  combined with its stronger credit  facilities
enhanced the Company's liquidity and capital resources.

Under the  terms of the  $2,000,000  Term Loan  Agreement  with  Chemical  Bank,
scheduled  installments of $500,000 each were due on December 15, 1995 and March
15, 1996. As of December 15, 1995 the Company  agreed to an amendment  providing
for payments of $100,000  each on December  31, 1995 and January 31, 1996,  with
the remaining $800,000 to be paid in 15 equal installments which commenced March
31, 1996. In August,  1996, the Company  utilized  $533,333 of the proceeds from
the private placement to prepay all of its obligations with Chemical Bank.

The Company  believes that the Congress credit  facility,  as amended,  combined
with the $3.5 million private placement, provides adequate financing flexibility
to fund its operations at current levels.

Working capital increased $987,000 from year-end levels to $11,814,000. Proceeds
from the issuance of common stock and subordinated convertible debt were used to
prepay the short-term debt to Chemical Bank, reduced accounts payable and reduce
the long term debt under the Congress  revolving credit facility.  A decrease in
inventory levels of $970,000 was offset by an increase in accounts receivable of
$441,000.



                                       12



The Company believes that the moderate rate of inflation over the past few years
has not had significant impact on sales or profitability.
