                               PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 Board of Directors and Stockholders
  NANTUCKET INDUSTRIES, INC.

We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of  Nantucket
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 2, 1996 and February 25, 1995, and
the related  consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 2, 1996.  These
financial  statements are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  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
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, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of
Nantucket Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 2, 1996 and February 25,
1995, and the consolidated  results of their  operations and their  consolidated
cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended  March 2, 1996,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have also audited Schedule II of Nantucket Industries,  Inc. and Subsidiaries
as of March 2, 1996 and February 25, 1995 and for the periods then ended. In our
opinion,   this  schedule  presents  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,   the
information required to be set forth therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

             March 2, 1996, February 25, 1995 and February 26, 1994

NOTE 1 -  BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          The Company

          Nantucket  Industries,  Inc. and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  (the
          "Company")  designs,  manufactures  and sells  throughout  the  United
          States men's branded and private label fashion  undergarments  to mass
          merchandisers and national chains.  In addition,  the Company designs,
          manufactures  and sells to  department  and  specialty  stores  GUESS?
          innerwear for both women and men.

          For the current fiscal year,  sales to the Company's  largest customer
          accounted for 40% of net sales and 43% and 27%, respectively,  for the
          two prior fiscal years.  Sales to the second  largest  customer in the
          current   fiscal  year  were  21%  of  net  sales  and  17%  and  15%,
          respectively,  for the two prior  fiscal  years.  Sales in the current
          fiscal year to the Company's third largest customer represented 13% of
          net sales and 12% in the prior fiscal year. For the fiscal year ending
          February,  1994,  sales to  another  customer  represented  12% of net
          sales.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994,  the Company  terminated
          business  with this  customer in  connection  with the shutdown of its
          Puerto Rico facility (Note 2).

          Principles of Consolidation

          The  consolidated   financial   statements  include  the  accounts  of
          Nantucket  Industries,  Inc. and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All
          significant   intercompany   balances  and   transactions   have  been
          eliminated.

          Accounts Receivable

          An allowance for doubtful  accounts is provided based upon  historical
          bad debt  experience  and  periodic  evaluations  of the  aging of the
          accounts.  Substantially  all receivables are insured up to 80% of the
          outstanding balance, subject to certain deductibles.

          Inventories

          Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in,
          first-out basis, or market (net realizable value).




          Property, Plant and Equipment

          Property,  plant,  and equipment are stated at cost.  Equipment  under
          lease is stated at the present value of the minimum lease  payments at
          the inception of the lease. Depreciation and amortization are provided
          by the  straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful lives of the
          assets as follows:

             March 2, 1996, February 25, 1995 and February 26, 1994


                                                                     Years

                   Buildings and improvements                       20 - 40
                   Machinery and equipment                           3 - 10
                   Furniture and fixtures                                10




          Other Assets

          Other  long-term   assets  consist   primarily  of  capitalized   loan
          origination  costs.  These costs are being  amortized over the term of
          the related credit agreements.

          Income Taxes

          The  Company and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  file a  consolidated
          Federal income tax return.  Deferred income taxes arise as a result of
          differences between financial statement and income tax reporting.

          Revenue Recognition

          Sales are  recognized  when  merchandise  is shipped and title passes.
          Returns  and  allowances  are  accrued  based on  existing  terms  and
          historical trends.

          Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

          Net income  (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income
          (loss) by average common shares  outstanding  during each year.  Stock
          options  and  warrants  are not  included  since the  effect  would be
          antidilutive or not significant to the computation.

          Fiscal Year

          The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to February 28.
          The year ended March 2, 1996 had 53 weeks and the years ended February
          25, 1995 and February 26, 1994 contained 52 weeks.

          Reclassification

          Certain prior year amounts have been  reclassified in order to conform
          to the current year's presentation.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

             March 2, 1996, February 25, 1995 and February 26, 1994

          Use of Estimates

          In  preparing  the  Company's  financial  statements,   management  is
          required to make  estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported
          amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent 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

          Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

          In  1995,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
          Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets
          and for  Long-Lived  Assets  to be  Disposed  of".  Accordingly,  when
          indicators  of  impairment  are  present,   the  Company  periodically
          evaluates  the carrying  value of property,  plant and  equipment  and
          intangibles  in  relation  to the  operating  performance  and  future
          undiscounted  cash  flows  of the  underlying  business.  The  Company
          adjusts  carrying  amount of the  respective  assets  if the  expected
          future cash flows is less than the book value.

          Fair Value of Financial Instruments

          Based on borrowing rates  currently  available to the Company for debt
          with similar  terms and  maturities,  the fair value of the  Company's
          long-term debt  approximates the carrying value. The carrying value of
          all other financial instruments potentially subject to valuation risk,
          principally  cash,  accounts  receivable  and accounts  payable,  also
          approximate fair value.

 NOTE 2 - UNUSUAL (CREDIT) CHARGE

          In November,  1992, the Company  acquired a manufacturing  facility in
          Puerto Rico, Phoenix  Associates,  Inc.,  pursuant to a stock purchase
          agreement.  Phoenix had been an exclusive  contractor for the Company,
          manufacturing  many of the  Company's  product lines for its men's and
          ladies'  divisions.  A portion of the purchase price was  subordinated
          debt payable to the former  owners of Phoenix,  of which  $300,000 was
          due  February  2, 1998.  In April,  1993,  the Company  discovered  an
          inventory   variance  of  $1,700,000,   principally   attributable  to
          unrecorded manufacturing and material cost variance at the Puerto Rico
          facility,  which were incurred  prior to the Company's  acquisition of
          this facility.  In connection  with the acquisition of the Puerto Rico
          facility, the Company initiated an action against the former owners of
          that facility as more fully  described in Note 8. In the third quarter
          of  the  current   fiscal  year,   the  Company   concluded  that  its
          counterclaims  against the former owners of Phoenix, the holder of the
          subordinated  debt payable,  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. Accordingly the Company has eliminated
          this payable and reflected  such reduction as an unusual credit in the
          accompanying financial statements.

          At the end of fiscal 1994, the Company  formulated  plans to close its
          Puerto Rico facility,  discontinue a portion of its women's  innerwear
          business,  reduce costs and streamline operations. In fiscal 1994, the
          Company  provided for the costs  associated  with these  matters as an
          unusual  charge.  The Puerto Rico  facility  shutdown was completed in
          July, 1994. A final assessment

             March 2, 1996, February 25, 1995 and February 26, 1994


          associated with this closing required additional write-offs, reflected
          as an unusual charge of $1,252,400 in fiscal 1995.

          Simultaneously  in 1994,  the Company also  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 and other  benefits,  through  February
          28, 1999.  The present value of these payments was accrued at February
          26, 1994.

          For fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, the unusual charge (credit)  consisted
          of the following:

NOTE 5 -  LONG-TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE

          Revolving Credit

          The  company  had a  $9.5  million  secured  borrowing  facility  with
          Chemical  Bank which  expired on February 28, 1994. On March 22, 1994,
          the Company entered into a new $15 million three year revolving credit
          facility with Congress  Financial Corp. The revolving credit agreement
          provides  for  loans  based  upon  eligible  accounts  receivable  and
          inventory,  a $3,000,000  letter of credit facility and purchase money
          term  loans  of up to 75% of the  orderly  liquidation  value of newly
          acquired and eligible equipment. Borrowings bear interest at 1-3/4% to
          3% above prime. The agreement  requires,  among other provisions,  the
          maintenance of minimum  working  capital and net worth levels and also
          contains restrictions regarding payment of dividends. Borrowings under
          the agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of
          the Company.

          In connection  with this  refinancing,  the Company used $5,090,000 of
          the proceeds of the  revolving  credit  facility to reduce the balance
          due to Chemical Bank and simultaneously entered into a $2,000,000 Term
          Loan Agreement with Chemical Bank. At December 15, 1995 $1,000,000 was
          outstanding  under  this  loan.  Pursuant  to  an  amendment  to  this
          agreement,  the Company made payments of $100,000 each on December 31,
          1995 and January 31, 1996 and agreed to pay the remaining  $800,000 in
          15 equal  installments  commencing  March 31, 1996. The amendment also
          requires certain  prepayments in the event the Company  refinances any
          existing debt or obtains additional equity or debt financing. Pursuant
          to the  agreement,  the Company issued 10,000  treasury  common shares
          related to its decision to defer making the mandatory prepayments.

NOTE 6 -  INCOME TAXES

          Effective  for  fiscal  1994,  the  Company   adopted  SFAS  No.  109,
          "Accounting  for Income  Taxes." The  adoption of SFAS No. 109 did not
          have a  material  effect  on the  consolidated  financial  statements.
          Therefore,  the effect of adopting  SFAS No. 109 is included in income
          tax  expense  rather  than as a  cumulative  effect  of an  accounting
          change.

          Under the  provisions of SFAS No. 109,  deferred  income taxes reflect
          the net effect of temporary  differences  between the carrying amounts
          of assets and  liabilities  for financial  reporting  purposes and the
          amount  used  for  income  tax  purposes.   Deferred  tax  assets  and
          liabilities are measured using enacted tax law. Significant components
          of the Company's deferred taxes at March 2, 1996 and February 25, 1995
          are as follows:

          The Company anticipates  utilizing its deferred tax assets only to the
          extent of its deferred tax liabilities.  Accordingly,  the Company has
          fully  reserved  all  remaining  deferred  tax assets  which it cannot
          presently utilize.

          Refundable taxes of $558,000 were recorded at February 26, 1994, which
          reflect  carryback of the Company's  net operating  losses for Federal
          and state income tax  purposes.  At March 2, 1996,  the net  operating
          loss carryforward for book purposes is $12 million.  For tax purposes,
          at March 2, 1996, the Company's net operating  carryforward  was $10.6
          million,  which  begins  to  expire  in the  year  2009.  Certain  tax
          regulations  relating  to  the  change  in  ownership  may  limit  the
          Company's  ability to utilize its net operating loss  carryforward  if
          the ownership change, as computed under such regulations, exceeds 50%.
          Through March, 1996 the change in ownership was approximately 40%.


          There was no income tax provision  (benefit) for the fiscal years 1996
          and 1995.  The  provision  (benefit)  for income taxes for fiscal year
          1994 is comprised of the following:

          Agreements with Principal Stockholders

          On March 1, 1994, in connection  with the  restructuring  described in
          Note 2, the Company  entered into  agreements  with its two  principal
          stockholders  and a group of employees (the "Management  Group").  The
          agreements provide, among other things, for:

                   The reimbursement of the principal  stockholders,  limited to
                   $1.50 per share to the  extent  that the gross  proceeds  per
                   share  from the  sale of  common  stock  by the  stockholders
                   during the two-year  period  beginning  September 1, 1994 are
                   less than $5.00 per share.  Such  guaranty is applicable to a
                   maximum of 160,000 shares sold by such shareholders,  subject
                   to reductions under certain  circumstances.  Through March 2,
                   1996 the  principal  shareholders  have sold  109,875  shares
                   including 51,275 at prices below of $5.00 per share resulting
                   in a charge in the current year operating results of $36,000.
                   Pursuant to the agreement and applicable  securities laws, at
                   March 2, 1996 the maximum  remaining  shares  subject to this
                   guarantee, at current market prices, is 50,125 shares.

                   Warrants  to purchase  up to 160,000  shares of common  stock
                   equal  to  the  number  of  shares  sold  by  the   principal
                   stockholders.  The exercise  price per share of such warrants
                   would   equal  the  gross   proceeds   per  share   from  the
                   corresponding  sale  by  the  principal  stockholders.   Such
                   warrants expire on February 28, 2000.

                   cash surrender value of life insurance  policies on the lives
                   of the  stockholders  owned by the Company,  in the form of a
                   loan  against  such  policies  which  is not  required  to be
                   repaid.

                   incentive  awards  of the  Group  members  and the  principal
                   stockholders and the  authorization to issue options to Group
                   members to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock based upon
                   certain terms and conditions.

          renewal  options)  having a term of more  than one year as of March 2,
          1996, are as follows:
