ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITON OF ASSETS
     On August 7, 2000,  Swiss Army Brands,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  (the
"Company"), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing that on July 24, 2000,
the Company,  through a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  and  Victorinox  AG, a Swiss
Corporation  and a principal  supplier  to and  substantial  shareholder  of the
Company ("Victorinox"),  each acquired 50% of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Xantia S.A.,  Fabrique de Montres  Prcision  ("Xantia"),  the principal
manufacturer  and  assembler of watches sold by the Company.  The Xantia  shares
were  acquired  by both firms from  Michel and Irene  Thievent  (the  "Sellers")
pursuant to an agreement of June 23, 2000,  as amended by agreements of July 10,
2000 and July 24, 2000 (collectively the "Agreements"), which contain provisions
intended to secure ongoing control of Xantia by the Company.

     Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company paid at the closing 2,250,000 Swiss
Francs ("CHF") ($1,354,500) and delivered 108,374 shares of the Company's Common
Stock,  such shares being valued for purposes of the Agreements at 1,000,000 CHF
($602,000)  based upon the average  daily closing price of such stock during the
period June 30, 2000 through July 14, 2000. At the closing,  Victorinox  paid to
the Sellers 3,250,000 CHF ($1,956,500).  Each of the Company and Victorinox also
agreed to pay an  additional  12,000,000  CHF  ($7,224,000)  over the next seven
years plus interest with the total  purchase price subject to upward or downward
adjustment.

     The source of funds for the  acquisition  by the Company was a bank line of
credit from the Company's  existing lender. The purchase price was determined on
the basis of arm-length  negotiations  between the Company and the Sellers.  The
division of the purchase price between the Company and Victorinox was based upon
an arms length agreement to share equally in the acquisition.

     Pursuant to the Agreements,  the Company and Victorinox each own 50% of the
capital stock of Xantia.  Following the acquisition,  Xantia retained all of its
pre-closing  assets,  including  plant and equipment used in the manufacture and
assembly  of watches and other  timepieces  and will  continue  to employ  those
assets to  manufacture  timepieces  to be  supplied  to the Company and to third
party customers.

Report of the auditors
to the Board of Directors of
Xantia S.A., Fabrique de Montres de Prcision

As auditors of Xantia S.A., Fabrique de Montres de Prcision, we have audited the
financial  statements (balance sheets,  statements of operations,  shareholders'
equity  and cash  flows and  notes) of  Xantia  S.A.,  Fabrique  de  Montres  de
Prcision, for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our  audits.  We  confirm  that  we  meet  the  legal  requirements   concerning
professional qualification and independence.

Our audits were  conducted  in  accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally
accepted  in the United  States,  which  require  that an audit be  planned  and
performed to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material  misstatement.  We have  examined on a test basis  evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. We have also
assessed the  accounting  principles  used,  significant  estimates made and the
overall financial statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  give a true and  fair  view of the
financial  position,  the results of operations and the cash flows in accordance
with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United States consistently
applied.

1.   Operations

     Xantia S.A.,  Fabrique de Montres de Prcision  (the  "Company"or  "Xantia")
     produces and distributes watches and components of watches. The watches are
     sold to independent distributors,  principally in the United States, France
     and other European countries.

     principles   generally   accepted  in  the  United  States.  The  Company's
     functional currency is the Swiss Franc.

3.   Accounting Principles

     Revenue Recognition
     -------------------
     The Company  recognizes  revenue  upon  shipment of product.  Net sales are
     comprised of gross revenues less returns and customer allowances.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents
     -------------------------
     Cash and cash  equivalents  consist of all highly liquid  investments  with
     original maturities of three months of less.

     Long-Lived Assets
     -----------------
     The Company follows Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")
     No.  121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets and for
     Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The Company  continually  reviews the
     recoverability  of the carrying  value of these assets using the provisions
     of SFAS No. 121. Based upon the Company's review of its long-lived  assets,
     no impairment exists at September 30, 1999.

     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 and
     disclosures  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.

ended June 30,  2000,  and the  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  statement of

forma  statement of operations  for the year ended  December 31, 1999, are based

do not purport to represent  what the results of operations of the Company would
actually  have been if the events  described  in the notes  thereto  had in fact
occurred  at the  beginning  of  such  period,  or to  project  the  results  of
operations of the Company for any future date or period.

1.   The pro forma results  presented  are based on a preliminary  allocation of
     purchase  price  according  to  the  purchase  method  of  accounting.  The
     aggregate  purchase price has been allocated to the assets and  liabilities
     of  Xantia  based  on  preliminary  estimates  of fair  market  value.  Any
     adjustments resulting from the final purchase price allocation, which could
     result  in  changes  to the  carrying  values of  assets  and  liabilities,
     including  goodwill,  are not  expected  to be  material  to the  financial
     statements.  The  purchase  price has  resulted  in  acquired  goodwill  of
     approximately  $3.1 million,  which is being  amortized on a  straight-line
     basis  over  20  years.  The  following  is a  summary  of the  preliminary
     allocation (in thousands):
