ANDOVER TOGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(DEBTOR IN POSSESSION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated financial statements as of February 28, 1997 and for
         the three month period then ended 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 on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 1996.

         The results of operations for the period ended February 28, 1997 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.

2.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories consist of:

                                 February 28,               November 30,
                                     1997                       1996

3.       CHAPTER 11

         During the year ended November 30, 1995, the Company incurred losses of
         $4,279,000 and was unable to comply with certain covenants of its
         existing debt agreements. Negotiations with the Company's lenders to
         obtain waivers in connection with such defaults were unsuccessful.
         Negotiations with such lenders and other prospective lenders to obtain
         more permanent financing were also unsuccessful. As a result of the
         ensuing severe liquidity crisis, on March 19, 1996, the Company filed
         for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

4.       DIP FACILITY

         On September 19, 1996 the debtors signed an agreement to obtain
         debtor-in-possession financing from the CIT Group/Commercial Services,
         Inc. for a two year $15 million revolving credit facility (see Note 6).

5.       RESTRUCTURING COSTS

         Restructuring costs represent estimated professional fees for the
         period off-set by a gain of approximately $434,000 relating to the
         exchange of approximately $2,621,000 of property, plant, equipment
         (Scottsboro, Alabama facility) and restricted cash, previously included
         in assets held for sale, for the release of claims amounting to
         $3,055,000 previously included in liabilities subject to compromise,
         pertaining to the Industrial Revenue Bond on the Scottsboro, Alabama
         facility.

6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On May 12, 1997, the Company emerged from Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
         Code and entered into a two year financing agreement with CIT/Group
         Commercial Services, Inc. (the "CIT Facility"), replacing the facility
         discussed, in Note 4 above. The CIT Facility provides for a $10,500,000
         revolving credit line of which $3,000,000 is available for letters of
         credit. Advances under the revolver bear interest at prime plus .85%.
         The advances are based on 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50%
         of eligible inventory and are collateralized by all of the Company's
         assets other than its real estate. Under the CIT Facility, the Company
         is prohibited, among other restrictions, from pledging assets, creating
         additional indebtedness or paying dividends. In addition, the Company
         is required to comply with certain financial covenants, including
         minimum levels of EBITDA, working capital, tangible net worth and
         limits on capital expenditures. The Company has not borrowed on the CIT
         Facility.

Item 2. -

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

On March 19, 1996, the Company filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code. On May 12, 1997, the Company emerged from Chapter 11. During
the bankruptcy, the Company continued to operate as a debtor-in-possession.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended February 28, 1997 vs 1996

Net sales for the three months ended February 28, 1997 (the "`97 Quarter") were
$4,006,000 a decrease of $8,804,000 or 68.7% as compared with net sales of
$12,810,000 in the comparable period in 1996 (the "'96 Quarter"). The decrease
is attributable to a number of factors. The Company discontinued its import and
big boys divisions, leaving it with girls' sizes infant through 14 and boys
sizes infant through toddler. The Company discontinued its import business
because it was unable to finance letters of credit. The Company's resulting
inability to meet orders for imported merchandise affected the Company's
creditability, and the Company therefore lost programs for merchandise
manufactured domestically and in the Dominican Republic. Import division sales
decreased approximately $3,950,000 in the `97 Quarter compared to the `96
Quarter. Dobie (a division discontinued in 1995) and big boys division sales
decreased $930,000 and $910,000, respectively, in the `97 Quarter compared to
the `96 Quarter. The remaining decrease represents the deterioration of the
Company's customer base as many customers lost confidence in the Company's
ability to deliver goods due to the bankruptcy proceedings.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 17.7% from 10.8% in the
`96 Quarter. The lower margins in the `96 Quarter were a reflection of large
sales and markdown allowances to close out inventory in the discontinued
divisions and the closing of inefficient manufacturing facilities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the `97 Quarter were $906,000
or 22.6% of sales as compared to $3,028,000 or 23.6% of sales for the `96
Quarter. The decrease in expenses was attributable to reduced salaries and
fringes related to terminated employees, professional fees, depreciation and
amortization and travel and entertainment.

Restructuring costs represent estimated professional fees, offset by a gain on
the exchange of assets against liabilities subject to compromise on the
Scottsboro, Alabama facility. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Interest expense decreased $383,000 in the `97 Quarter compared

                                      - 7 -

<PAGE>



to the `96 Quarter. The decrease was due to the payment of all bank debt in
fiscal 1996 and the release of interest payments relating to the Industrial
Revenue Bond on the Scottsboro, Alabama facility subsequent to filing
bankruptcy.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital at February 28, 1997 decreased $198,000 to
$6,326,000 as compared to $6,524,000 at November 30, 1996, due primarily to the
Company's net loss for the period.

On September 19, 1996 the debtors signed an agreement to obtain
debtor-in-possession financing from the CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. for
a two year $15 million revolving credit facility. This facility replaced the
Company's prior $11 million credit facility which was due to terminate in
December 1996.

On May 12, 1997, the Company emerged from Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and
entered into a two year financing agreement with CIT/Group Commercial Services,
Inc. (The "CIT Facility"), replacing the facility discussed in Note 4. The CIT
Facility provides for a $10,500,000 revolving credit line of which $3,000,000 is
available for letters of credit. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

CURRENT UNCERTAINTIES

The Company anticipates a substantial decrease in volume for fiscal 1997 as
compared with fiscal 1996. While the Company's overhead has been reduced in
anticipation of a lower sales volume, the Company continues to incur
restructuring costs in 1997 relating to the bankruptcy and losses from
operations. The Company, therefore, anticipates that it will report a loss for
fiscal 1997. One customer currently accounts for approximately 83% of the
Company's orders. Accordingly, the resumption of stable and profitable
operations will require the Company to both increase its total sales and expand
its customer base.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this report include forward-looking statements that involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. These risks include, among others, the
company's sharp reduction in sales, narrow customer base and the other risks
detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports. The Company's actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements.

                Market Risk.
