1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The  consolidated  balance  sheets as of February 28, 1995 and February
         28,  1994  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,
         stockholders' equity and cash flows for the periods presented have been
         prepared by the Company  without  audit.  In the opinion of management,
         all  adjustments   consisting  of  only  normal  recurring  adjustments
         necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the  financial  position of the
         Company, the results of its operations, and cash flows have been made.

         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  financial  statements  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
         financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
         Report to Shareholders for the year ended November 30, 1994.

         The results of  operations  for the period ended  February 28, 1995 are
         not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

         Per share  information  is computed by dividing the net loss amounts by
         the  weighted  average  number of shares  of common  stock  outstanding
         during each period.

3.       ACQUISITION

         On February 27, 1995, the Company acquired the inventory,  trade names,
         customer  orders and certain  items of machinery and equipment of Dobie
         Industries,  Inc.  ("Dobie"),  a manufacturer  of children's and ladies
         apparel.  The  purchase  price was  approximately  $3,800,000  in cash,
         subject to final  adjustments;  100,000 shares of the Company's  common
         stock, valued at $275,000;  and a warrant to purchase 50,000 additional
         shares of stock at $2.50 per share.  The cash  portion of the  purchase
         price was obtained by utilizing the Company's existing line of credit.

         Under  certain  conditions  the holders of the 100,000  shares have the
         right to require the Company to  purchase  the 100,000  shares at $5.00
         per share at the  expiration of five years.  Additionally  the purchase
         price includes  contingent  payments of up to $4,000,000  over the next
         five years based on the Company's consolidated future operations.

         The  acquisition  has been accounted for as a purchase,  and the assets
         are  included  in  the  Company's   Consolidated  Financial  Statements
         beginning  February 27, 1995.  The purchase price has been allocated to
         the assets of Dobie based on preliminarily estimated fair values and is
         subject to further  adjustment as more information  becomes  available.
         The  purchase  price  and  expenses  associated  with  the  acquisition
         exceeded the fair value of Dobie's  assets by  approximately  $500,000,
         subject to future adjustment, which has been assigned to cost in excess
         of assets  acquired.  The cost in excess  of assets  acquired  is being
         amortized over 15 years.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net sales for the three months ended February 28, 1995 were $15,016,000
         an increase of  $3,789,000 or 33.7% as compared with the 1994 period of
         $11,227,000.  In fiscal 1995, the Company  recaptured some of the sales
         it lost in fiscal 1994.

         The Company's  acquisition  of certain  assets of Dobie on February 27,
         1995 had no  material  impact on the  Company's  sales for the  quarter
         ended February 28, 1995.

         The Company expects competition to continue to be intense and customers
         to continue to buy conservatively.  The Dobie acquisition  reflects the
         Company's  continuing  efforts to  increase  its sales  penetration  by
         expanding its accounts.  The acquisition is expected to have a positive
         impact on fiscal 1995 sales.

         Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 18.2% from 18.7%
         in  the  comparable  1995  three-month  period.  The  majority  of  the
         Company's  sales are still of  non-branded  merchandise  where  pricing
         pressures  remain  intense and  therefore the Company is unable to pass
         through  cost  increases  to its  customers.  The Company has  accepted
         business  at lower  margins  in order to  maintain  market  share.  The
         Company  does not  expect  any  significant  improvement  in its profit
         margins in 1995.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
         February  28,  1995 were  $3,029,000  or 20.2% of sales as  compared to
         $3,296,000  or 29.4% of sales for the three months  ended  February 28,
         1994.  The  decrease  of $267,000  was  attributable  to  approximately
         $150,000 of reduced payrolls,  related benefits and commission expenses
         and  approximately  $90,000 as a reduction of rent expense due to a new
         lease.  The decrease as a percentage  of sales is primarily a result of
         the increased sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

         The increase in interest  expense of $86,000 is a reflection  of higher
         borrowing  levels due to increased  inventory levels based on increased
         Spring orders and higher interest rates.

         FINANCIAL CONDITION

         The Company's  working capital at February 28, 1995 decreased  $779,000
         to  $15,307,000  as compared to  $16,086,000  at November 30, 1994, due
         primarily to principal  payments of long-term  debt,  the Company's net
         loss  for  the  period  and  Dobie  acquisition  costs.  The  Company's
         long-term  debt  decreased  $1,075,00 at February 28, 1995  compared to
         February 28, 1994.




                                       7

<PAGE>



         Inventory at February 28, 1995 was approximately $5,241,000 higher than
         February 28, 1994  primarily as a result of higher  bookings for Spring
         1995 and the addition of Dobie inventory.

         The  Company  does  not  traditionally  make  material  commitments  to
         purchase  piece  goods  without   corresponding   orders.  The  Company
         generally  does not have long term  commitments  other  than  under its
         lease for its New York premises and the financings  associated with its
         manufacturing facilities.

         The Company  maintains a $22,000,000  revolving  credit  facility and a
         $7,000,000  letter of credit  facility  subject  to  maximum  aggregate
         borrowings of $26,000,000.  The facilities are secured by the Company's
         accounts  receivable,  imported  inventory  under letters of credit and
         certain  personal  property and  equipment.  The  revolving  credit and
         letter of credit facilities  terminate May 1, 1995. The Company expects
         to renew these or obtain substantially similar facilities.

         The Company  believes that cash generated from operations and available
         borrowings will be sufficient to meet its  anticipated  working capital
         needs.

     1. In  furtherance  of the purposes of this  Agreement,  the Trustees own a
policy of life insurance insuring Cohen's life with the Equitable Life Assurance
Society (hereinafter referred to as "the Insurer"),  in the total face amount of
$4,000,000  (hereinafter  referred to as the

<PAGE>

"Policy"), which is described in Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference
made a part hereof.

     2. The parties  hereby  agree that the Policy shall be subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE II

                          OWNERSHIP OF LIFE INSURANCE

     The Trustees, and their successors, shall be the sole and absolute owner of
the Policy and may exercise all ownership rights granted to the owner thereof by
the terms of the Policy,  without the consent of any other person, except as may
otherwise be provided herein.

                                  ARTICLE III

                         PAYMENTS OF PREMIUMS ON POLICY

     1.  Thirty (30) days prior to the due date of each  premium  payable on the
Policy,  the Corporation shall notify Cohen and the Trustees of the exact amount
due from the  Trustees,  which  shall be an amount  equal to the annual  cost of
current life insurance  protection in the life of Cohen measured by the lower of
the PS 58  Rate,  set  forth  in  Revenue  Ruling  55-747 (or the  corresponding
applicable  rate or other  measure set forth in any  Revenue  Ruling or Treasury
Regulation  or other  Treasury  notice  modifying  or  revoking  Revenue  Ruling
55-747),  or the insurer's current published premium rate for annually renewable
term  insurance  for  standard  risks.  The  Trustees  shall  pay such  required
contribution to the  Corporation  prior to the premium due date. If the Trustees
fail to make such timely  payment,  the  Corporation,  in its sole and  absolute
discretion,  may elect to make the  Trustees'  portion of the  premium  payment,
which payment shall be recovered by the Corporation as provided herein.


                                       2
<PAGE>

     2. On or before  the due date of each  premium  payable on the  Policy,  or
within the grace period provided  therein,  the  Corporation  shall pay the full
amount of the premium to the Insurer, and shall, upon request,  promptly furnish
Cohen  and/or the  Trustees  evidence  of timely  payment of such  premium.  The
Corporation  annually  shall  furnish  Cohen with a  statement  of the amount of
income reportable by him for Federal and State income tax purposes, if any, as a
result of the  Corporation's  payment of the premiums by the Corporation in that
year as hereinabove provided.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                          ELECTION OF DIVIDEND OPTION

     The  Trustees,  as the Owners of the Policy,  may elect,  in their sole and
absolute discretion, to have all dividends declared by the Insurer on the Policy
applied to:

     A. reduce the premium payable on the Policy; or

     B. purchase paid-up additional insurance on the life of Cohen.

                                   ARTICLE V

                    COLLECTION AND PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT

     1. Within thirty (30) days after the death of Cohen,  the  Corporation  and
the  Trustees  shall  apply to the  Insurer  for the death  benefit and take all
action necessary to obtain such payment.  The proceeds shall be divided into two
parts.  The  First  Part  shall be an amount  equal to the  total  amount of the
premiums  which the  Corporation,  its  successors  and assigns,  have paid with
respect to the Policy reduced by an outstanding  indebtedness which was incurred
by the  Corporation,  its  successors  and assigns,  and which is secured by the
Policy,  including  any interest due on such  indebtedness.  The Second Part, if
any, shall be the balance of the proceeds.

                                       3
<PAGE>

     (a) The First  Part shall be paid to the  Corporation,  its  successors  or
assigns. The parties hereby confirm that in no event shall the amount payable to
the Corporation  exceed the Policy proceeds  payable as a result of the maturity
of the Policy as a death claim.

     (b) The Second  Part  shall be paid to the  beneficiary  designated  by the
Trustees,  or their successors.  No portion of the proceeds shall be paid to the
beneficiary  designated by the Trustees until the First Part of the proceeds has
been paid fully to the Corporation.

     2. The Insurer may rely upon a sworn statement in form  satisfactory to the
Insurer  furnished by the  Corporation,  its  successors  or assigns,  as to the
amount of the First  Part,  and any  payment  made on account of such  statement
shall discharge the Insurer accordingly.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                             COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT

     1. To secure  repayment to the Corporation of the amount of the premiums on
the Policy paid by it, upon  maturity of the policy as provided in the preceding
Article V of this Agreement or upon termination of this Agreement as provided in
the  succeeding   Article VII of this  Agreement,  the  Trustees  have assigned,
contemporaneously  herewith, the Policy to the Corporation as collateral,  under
the form used by the Insurer for such  assignments.  The parties  hereby confirm
that the Policy shall be subject to the terms and  conditions of the  collateral
assignment  filed  with the  Insurer  relating  to the  Policy.  The  collateral
assignment of the Policy to the  Corporation  hereunder shall not be terminated,
altered  or  amended  by  the  Trustees,  without  the  written  consent  of the
Corporation.


                                       4

     2.  Except as  otherwise  provided  herein,  the  Trustees  shall not sell,
assign, transfer, borrow against,  surrender or cancel the Policy nor change the
beneficiary  designation provisions thereof,  without the written consent of the
Corporation.

                                  ARTICLE VII

               TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT AND OPTION ON TERMINATION

     1. This  Agreement  shall  terminate  upon the occurrence of any one of the
following events:

     (a) The insolvency or dissolution of the  Corporation,  provided,  however,
that under no  circumstances  shall the  creditors of the  Corporation  have any
claim to the Policy or proceeds thereunder.  For the purposes of this Agreement,
the term  "insolvency"  shall mean (i) the  filing of a  voluntary  petition  in
bankruptcy or for an arrangement,  reorganization or other relief from creditors
under the Federal  Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, (ii) the appointment of a
receiver  for a  substantial  part  of  the  assets  of  the  Corporation  which
appointment  has not been vacated within ninety (90) days, or (iii) the failure,
within  ninety (90) days,  to obtain  dismissal of any  involuntary  petition in
bankruptcy or for reorganization filed against the Corporation.

     (b) The termination of Cohen's employment by the Corporation for any reason
other than his death.

     (c) The failure of the Trustees to make timely  payment to the  Corporation
of its portion of the premium,  if any, due  hereunder,  unless the  Corporation
elects to make payment on behalf of the Trustees, as hereinabove provided.


                                       5
<PAGE>

     (d) The death of Cohen,  subject to the provisions of Article V which shall
continue in full force and effect following Cohen's death.

     2. Upon termination of this Agreement, the obligation of the Corporation to
make  payments on account of policy  premiums  and  interest due on policy loans
shall cease.

     3. For ninety (90) days after  termination of this Agreement,  the Trustees
shall have the option of obtaining the release of the  collateral  assignment of
the Policy to the Corporation.  To obtain such release, the Trustees shall repay
to the  Corporation an amount equal to (a) the lesser of (i) the total amount of
the premiums which the Corporation,  its successors and assigns,  have paid with
respect to the Policy,  or (ii) the then cash surrender value of the Policy,  as
defined  in  the  Policy,  plus  any  unearned  premiums,  reduced  by  (b)  any
outstanding  indebtedness which was incurred by the Corporation,  its successors
and  assigns,  and secured by the Policy,  including  any  interest  due on such
indebtedness.  Upon receipt of such amount,  the  Corporation  shall release the
collateral  assignment  of the  Policy,  by the  execution  and  delivery to the
Trustees of an  appropriate  instrument of release in form  satisfactory  to the
Insurer and Trustees.

     4.  If the  Trustees  fail  to  exercise  the  option  provided  for in the
preceding paragraph 3 of this Article VII,  within ninety  (90) days  after  the
date of  termination of  the Agreement, then,  the  Corporation may  enforce its
right to be repaid the total amount of the  premiums on  the  Policy paid by the
Corporation,  its  successors  and assigns (which amount shall be reduced by any
outstanding indebtedness,  which was incurred by the Corporation, its successors
and  assigns,  and  secured by the Policy,  included  any  interest  due on such
indebtedness)  from the cash surrender  value of the Policy under the collateral
assignment of the


                                       6
<PAGE>


Policy;  provided  that in the  event  the cash  surrender  value of the  Policy
exceeds  the  amount  due the  Corporation,  such  excess  shall  be paid to the
Trustees.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISION

     1. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York.

     2. The parties to this  Agreement  agree that this  Agreement  is among the
Corporation,  Cohen and the Trustees to the  exclusion  of all other  persons or
entities  herein  mentioned.  The  filing of copies of this  Agreement  with the
Insurer in no way operates to make the Insurer a party to this Agreement, or any
modification  or  amendment  hereof.  No  provision  of this  Agreement  nor any
modification  hereof,  shall in any way be  construed  as  enlarging,  changing,
varying,  or in any  other way  affecting  the  obligations  of the  Insurer  as
expressly  provided in the Policy,  except  insofar as the provisions are made a
part of the Policy by the  collateral  assignment  executed by the  Trustees and
filed with the  Insurer  in  connection  herewith.  The  Insurer  shall be fully
discharged from its obligations  under the Policy by payment of the Policy death
benefit  to he  beneficiary  named  in the  Policy,  subject  to the  terms  and
conditions of the Policy.

     3. The parties to this  Agreement  agree to execute  such  documents as are
necessary to carry out this Agreement.

     4. This Agreement may not be amended or revoked, except by an instrument in
writing signed by the parties  hereto or their  respective  successors  assigns,
before a Notary and  mutually  acknowledge  expressly  modifying or revoking the
provisions hereof.

     5. The article headings and numbers and the paragraph  numbers are included
herein for  convenience  only and in no way are to be considered to be a part of
this Agreement.

     6. In the  event  that  any  provisions  of this  Agreement  shall  be held
illegal,  unenforceable  or in conflict  with the laws of New York or the Untied
States,  such provisions  shall be deemed separable from the other provisions of
this  Agreement and all the other  provisions  shall  continue in full force and
effect.

     7. This Agreement and all  obligations  and covenants  hereunder shall bind
the parties hereto, their successors and assigns.

     8. Any waiver by a party of any of the  provisions of this Agreement or any
right or rights  hereunder,  shall not be deemed to be a  continuing  waiver and
shall  not  prevent  or  estop  such  parties  from  thereafter  enforcing  such
provisions or rights as to the future, and the failure of any party to insist in
one or more  instances  upon the  strict  performance  of any one or more of the
terms of the  provisions  of this  Agreement by the other  parties  shall not be
construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such terms or provisions, but the
same shall continue in full force and effect.

     9. Any  notices,  consent  or  demand  required  or  permitted  under  this
Agreement  shall be in writing and shall be signed by the party giving or making
the same.  If such  notice,  consent or demand is mailed to a party  hereto,  it
shall be sent by United States  Certified Mail,  postage  prepaid,  addressed to
such party's last known address as shown on the records of the Corporation.  The
date of such mailing shall be deemed the date of notice, consent or demand.

     10. This  Agreement may be executed in three  counterparts  which  together
shall constitute one Agreement with the same effects as if the parties executing
the  counterparts  had all executed this  Agreement as of the day and year first
above written.

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of
the day and year first above written.
