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


Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

           Total  revenues for  the three  months ended  June 30,  1997 were
$140,028 as compared to $158,124 for the corresponding period ended June 30,
1996.   This decrease  is primarily  attributable to  a decrease in reported
shipments of its licensee for No Excuses footwear.

         Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $221,421 or
$.04 per share of Common Stock, as compared to net income of $34,416 or $.01
per share  of Common  Stock, for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  This
increase in  net income  is principally  due to  an due to the equity in the
gains of Candie's, Inc.

           Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  from
$155,437 for  the three  months ended June 30, 1996 to $96,900 for the three
months ended  June 30,  1997.   This decrease  was primarily attributable to
decreases in advertising, royalty and professional fee expenses.

           Interest  expense for  the three  months ended  June 30, 1997 was
$3,750 as  compared to $4,356 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This
decrease is due to a reduction in notes payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

           At  June 30,  1997 the Company had working capital of $382,079 as
compared to working capital of $335,760 at March 31, 1997.  This increase in
working capital  arose primarily  as a  result of  operating 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 June 30, 1997, the Company repurchased 18,500 shares
of the Company's common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $19,663. All
such shares were repurchased in the open market.
