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


Results of Operations

Six Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

     Total revenues for the six months ended September 30, 1996 were $432,294 as
compared to $394,531 for the corresponding period ended September 30, 1995. This
increase is  primarily attributable  to an increase in reported shipments of the
Company's No Excuses footwear licensee.

     Net income for the six months ended September 30, 1996 was $75,532 or  $.01
per share  of Common  Stock, as  compared to  net income of $112,062 or $.02 per
share of  Common Stock,  for the  six months  ended September  30, 1995.    This
decrease in  net income  is principally  due to  the equity  in  losses  of  its
affiliate, Candie's, Inc. for the period.

       Selling,  general and administrative expenses decreased from $404,425 for
the six  months ended  September 30,  1995 to  $321,408 for the six months ended
September 30,  1996.   This decrease  was primarily attributable to decreases in
advertising, royalty and professional fee expenses.

      Interest expense for the six months ended September 30, 1996 was $9,356 as
compared to  $14,915 for the six months ended September 30, 1995.  This decrease
is due to a reduction in notes payable.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

      Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were $274,170
as compared  to $241,954  for the corresponding period ended September 30, 1995.
This increase  is primarily attributable to an increase in reported shipments of
the Company's footwear licensee.

       Net  income for  the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $41,116 or
$.01 per  share of  Common Stock,  as compared to net income of $164,549 or $.03
per share  of Common Stock, for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  This
decrease in  net income  is principally  due to  the losses in the equity of the
investment in Candie's, Inc. during the period.

       Selling,  general and administrative expenses decreased from $200,952 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $165,971 for the three months ended
September 30,  1996.   This decrease  was primarily  attributable  to  decreased
professional fees during the period.

       Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $5,000
as compared  to $8,040  for the  three months  ended September  30 1995.    This
decrease is due to a reduction in notes payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       At  September 30,  1996 the  Company had  working capital  of $285,360 as
compared to  working capital  of $79,944  at March  31, 1996.   This increase in
working capital arose primarily as a result of net income for the period.

     The Company satisfies its present working capital and other financial needs
from royalties earned on its licensing agreements and the proceeds from the sale
of certain  licensing rights.   Management  of the  Company  believes  that  the
Company will  generate sufficient  cash flow for the next twelve months from its
current cash position and licensing fees as the sublicensor of the NO EXCUSES(R)
trademark.

      Subsequent to September 30, 1996, the Company repurchased 70,000 shares of
the Company's  common stock  at an  aggregate purchase price of $21,054. Of such
shares, 20,000  were repurchased in a private transaction and 50,000 shares were
repurchased in the open market.
