                 MICHAEL ANTHONY JEWELERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  FORM 10-Q FOR QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 26, 1996
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            (INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO JANUARY 27, 1996 IS UNAUDITED)

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     ------------------------------------------
 
     The unaudited interim consolidated condensed balance sheet as of October
     26, 1996 and the consolidated condensed statements of operations for the
     nine months ended October 26, 1996 and October 28, 1995, and the
     consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the nine months ended
     October 26, 1996 and October 28, 1995, and related notes have been prepared
     pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
     normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such
     rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated
     condensed financial statements and related notes should be read in
     conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the
     1996 Annual Report to Stockholders of Michael Anthony Jewelers, Inc. (the
     "Company").

     The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of the management of the
     Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which
     are necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim
     periods presented.

     The interim figures are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the fiscal year due to the seasonal nature of the business.

     Earnings Per Share
     ------------------

     Earnings per share for all periods presented were computed on a primary
     basis using the weighted average number of shares of common stock
     outstanding. Options and warrants outstanding were not materially dilutive.

     Reclassifications
     -----------------

     Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year's financial
     statements to conform to the current year's presentation.

2.   PRODUCT PRICING
     ---------------

     The Company's products, the principal component of which is gold, are
     generally sold at prices which are based on the market price of gold on the
     date merchandise is shipped to the customer.

                 MICHAEL ANTHONY JEWELERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  FORM 10-Q FOR QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 26, 1996
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            (INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO JANUARY 27, 1996 IS UNAUDITED)

2.   PRODUCT PRICING (Continued)
     ---------------

     Therefore, the Company's sales volume is significantly influenced by the
     market price of gold. The selling prices for certain customers may be fixed
     for a specific period of time. In such cases, the Company is able to shift
     a substantial portion of the risks of gold price fluctuation by hedging
     against changes in the price of gold by entering into forward contracts or
     purchasing futures or options on futures.

     The Company's consigned gold inventory is hedged against the effects of
     price fluctuations. The Company has entered into arrangements with certain
     gold lenders (the "Gold Lenders") pursuant to which the Company does not
     purchase gold from the Gold Lenders until receipt of a purchase order from,
     or shipment of jewelry to, its customers. These arrangements permit the
     Company to match the sales price of the product with the price the Company
     pays for the gold.

     The average price of gold in the current quarter was $382 per ounce as
     compared to $383 per ounce for the quarter ended October 28, 1995.

4.   STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
     ------------------------

     In December 1995, the Company announced a Common Stock repurchase program
     pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to 750,000 shares of Common
     Stock. As of November 21, 1996, the Company had repurchased a total of
     80,000 shares on the open market for an aggregate price of approximately
     $220,000, of which 60,000 shares have been retired. Effective May 24, 1996
     the Board of Directors authorized the Company to retire 965,200 shares of
     Common Stock, previously held as Treasury Stock.

5.   NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
     -----------------------

     Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting
     for Stock Based Compensation," ("FASB 123") the Company has elected not to
     change to the fair value method of accounting for employees' stock-based
     transactions. As permitted by FASB 123, the Company will be permitted to
     continue to account for such transactions under Accounting Principles Board
     Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," but will be
     required to disclose in a note to the financial statements, the proforma
     net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the new
     standard.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED OCTOBER 26, 1996 AND OCTOBER 28, 1995
- -------------------------------------------

Net sales for the three months ended October 26, 1996 were approximately
$48,772,000, an increase of 3.7% from net sales of approximately $47,037,000 for
the comparable period last year. The increase in net sales resulted from
increased shipments to the retail segment of the Company's customer base, which
increase was offset in part by decreased shipments to the wholesale segment of
the Company's customer base.

Gross profit margin increased to approximately 18.4% of net sales for the three
months ended October 26, 1996, compared to approximately 17.5% for the
comparable period last year. The increase in the gross profit margin was
attributable to a change in the Company's product mix and increased sales of the
Company's licensed products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October
26, 1996 were approximately $6,019,000, an increase of $588,000 or 10.8% from
approximately $5,431,000 for the comparable period last year. As a percentage of
net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 12.3% for
the three months ended October 26, 1996 from 11.5% for the comparable period
last year. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the
three months ended October 26, 1996, was $275,000 of costs related to the
terminated acquisition negotiations with OroAmerica. The other increase of
$313,000 is primarily attributable to increases in (i) royalty and licensing
expenses and (ii) product and packaging supplies. These increases were offset in
part by decreases in (i) legal and accounting expenses and (ii) advertising
related expenses.

Other expenses-net for the three months ended October 26, 1996 were
approximately $647,000, a decrease of $203,000 or 23.9% compared to
approximately $850,000 for the comparable period last year. Gold consignment
fees decreased $136,000 primarily due to the lower level of consignment
inventory and lower consignment interest rates from the comparable period last
year. Interest income increased $39,000 due to the Company's higher cash
position from the comparable period last year.

As a result of the above factors, the Company's net income for the three months
ended October 26, 1996 was approximately $1,428,000 or $.17 per share on
8,254,000 weighted average shares outstanding, compared to net income of
$1,191,000 or $.14 per share on 8,441,000 weighted average shares outstanding
for the comparable period last year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS
ENDED OCTOBER 26, 1996 AND OCTOBER 28, 1995
- -------------------------------------------

Net sales for the nine months ended October 26, 1996 were approximately
$105,681,000, an increase of 6.5% from net sales of approximately $99,198,000
for the comparable period last year. The increase in net sales resulted from
increased shipments to the retail segment of the Company's customer base, which
increase was offset in part by decreased shipments to the wholesale segment of
the Company's customer base.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended October
26, 1996 were approximately $14,836,000, an increase of $775,000 or 5.5% from
approximately $14,061,000 for the comparable period last year. Included in
selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended October
26, 1996, was $275,000 of costs related to the terminated acquisition
negotiations with OroAmerica. The other increase of $500,000 is primarily
attributable to increases in (i) royalty and licensing expenses and (ii) product
and packing supplies. These increases were offset in part by decreases in (i)
legal and accounting expenses and (ii) advertising related expenses. As a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
to 14.0% for the nine months ended October 26, 1996, from 14.2% for the
comparable period last year.

Other expenses-net for the nine months ended October 26, 1996 were approximately
$1,844,000, a decrease of $436,000 or 19.1% compared to approximately $2,280,000
for the comparable period last year. Gold consignment fees decreased $335,000
primarily due to the lower level of consignment inventory and lower consignment
interest rates from the comparable period last year. Interest expense decreased
$71,000 due to the Company's principal payments on its long term debt, in
January 1996 and May 1996. Interest income increased $65,000 due to the
Company's higher cash position from the comparable period last year.

As a result of the above factors, the Company's net income for the nine months
ended October 26, 1996 was approximately $811,000 or $.10 per share on 8,261,000
weighted average shares outstanding, compared to net income of $247,000 or $.03
per share on 8,527,000 weighted average shares outstanding for the comparable
period last year.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
           (INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO JANUARY 27, 1996 IS UNAUDITED)

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Company relies on a gold consignment program, short-term and long-term
borrowings and internally generated funds to finance its operations. The Company
fills most of its gold supply needs through gold consignment arrangements with
the Gold Lenders. Under the terms of those arrangements, the Company is entitled
to lease the lesser of (i) an aggregate of 250,000 ounces of fine gold or (ii)
consigned gold with an aggregate value equal to $106,899,000. The consigned gold
is secured by certain property of the Company including inventory and machinery
and equipment. The Company pays the Gold Lenders a consignment fee based on the
dollar value of ounces of gold outstanding under their respective agreements,
which value is based on the daily Second London Gold Fix. The Company believes
that its financing rate under the consignment arrangements is substantially
similar to the financing rates charged to gold consignees similarly situated to
the Company. As of October 26, 1996, the Company held 173,900 ounces of gold on
consignment with a market value of $66,541,000.

The consignment agreements contain certain restrictive covenants relating to
maximum usage, net worth, working capital and other financial ratios and each of
the agreements requires the Company to own a specific amount of gold at all
times. At October 26, 1996, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in
its consignment agreements and the Company's owned gold inventory was valued at
approximately $6,304,000. Management believes that the supply of gold available
through the Company's gold consignment arrangements, in conjunction with the
Company's owned gold, is sufficient to meet the Company's requirements.

The consignment agreements are terminable by the Company or the respective Gold
Lenders upon 30 days notice. If any Gold Lender were to terminate its existing
gold consignment arrangement, the Company does not believe it would experience
an interruption of its gold supply that would materially adversely affect its
business. The Company believes that other consignors would be willing to enter
into similar arrangements if any Gold Lender terminates its relationship with
the Company.

On August 21, 1996 and September 19, 1996, the Company received notice from two
existing Gold Lenders that they both plan to discontinue their involvement in
the jewelry lending business and will be terminating their respective
consignment agreements with the Company in February 1997. This will reduce the
aggregate ounces the Company is entitled to lease from 250,000 ounces of fine
gold to 243,000, with an aggregate value equal to $105,975,000. However, based
upon current and anticipated needs, this change will not have any impact on the
Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
- -------------------------------------------

Consigned gold is not included in the Company's inventory, and there is no
related liability recorded. As a result of these consignment arrangements, the
Company is able to shift a substantial portion of the risk of market
fluctuations in the price of gold to the Gold Lenders, since the Company does
not purchase gold from the Gold Lenders until receipt of a purchase order from,
or shipment of jewelry to, its customers. The Company then either locks in the
selling price of the jewelry to its customers concurrently with the required
purchase of gold from the Gold Lenders or hedges against changes in the price of
gold by entering into forward contracts or purchasing futures or options on
futures that are listed on the COMEX.

While the Company believes its supply of gold is relatively secure, significant
increases or rapid fluctuations in the cost of gold may result in reduced demand
for the Company's products. From January 28, 1996 until October 26, 1996, the
closing price of gold according to the Second London Gold Fix ranged from a low
of $379 per ounce to a high of nearly $415 per ounce. There can be no assurances
that fluctuations in the precious metals and credit markets would not result in
an interruption of the Company's gold supply or the credit arrangements
necessary to allow the Company to support its accounts receivable and continue
the use of consigned gold.

In each of 1987 and 1992, the Company issued $10,000,000 principal amount of
senior secured notes with various insurance companies, which accrue interest at
10.5% and 8.61% per annum, respectively. In February 1995, the Company issued an
additional $6,000,000 principal amount of senior secured notes with various
insurance companies, which currently accrue interest at 7.00% per annum. The
various insurance company lenders are collectively referred to as the "Senior
Note Holders". These notes are secured by the Company's accounts receivable,
machinery and equipment, inventory (secondary lien to the Gold Lenders) and
proceeds. In addition, the note purchase agreements contain certain restrictive
financial covenants and restrict the payment of dividends. At October 26, 1996,
the Company was in compliance with the covenants and $15,917,000 of principal
remained outstanding under the notes issued in 1987, 1992 and 1995.

On October 6, 1995, the Company obtained a loan from a bank in the amount of
$2,500,000. As collateral for the loan, the Company granted the bank a first
mortgage on the Company's corporate headquarters. The mortgage has a ten-year
term and interest on the mortgage accrues at 8% per annum. In addition, the
mortgage contains certain restrictive financial covenants. At October 26, 1996,
the Company was in compliance with the covenants and $2,408,000 of principal
remained outstanding under the mortgage.

- -------------------------------------------

In September 1994, the Company entered into a line of credit arrangement with a
commercial bank (the "Line of Credit"), under which the Company may borrow up to
$15,000,000. The Line of Credit is secured by certain assets of the Company,
including accounts receivable and inventory. As of October 26, 1996, there was
no amount outstanding under the Line of Credit. As of November 21, 1996,
$4,100,000 was outstanding under the Line of Credit. The Line of Credit
currently expires on July 31, 1997, subject to annual renewal.

Cash and marketable securities decreased from $6,673,000 at January 27, 1996 to
$6,000 at October 26, 1996. This decrease was primarily due to the Company's
seasonal increase in accounts receivable and inventory.

During the nine months ended October 26, 1996, the Company used $833,000 of cash
from operations as compared with $12,013,000 for the comparable period last
year. The decrease is primarily due to (i) improved collections of accounts
receivable and (ii) increased accounts payable, principally due to seasonal gold
purchases and the timing of payments.

Cash of $2,643,000 was used for investing activities, comprised of equipment
purchases, as compared to $3,905,000 used for equipment and land purchases
during the comparable nine-month period last year. Cash of $3,191,000 was used
for financing activities during the nine-month period, primarily representing
scheduled payments of long-term debt.

As part of its long-term strategic planning, the Company is negotiating an
agreement to expand its manufacturing and distribution facilities by acquiring
certain properties it is currently leasing from MacQuesten Realty Company
("MRC") (the "Leased Properties"). In the event the Company acquires any of such
properties, the Company may incur or assume additional long-term indebtedness in
order to finance their purchase.

For the balance of fiscal 1997, the Company projects capital expenditures of
approximately $900,000, which includes certain improvements on its leased and
owned properties, but does not include any other expenses related to the
possible acquisition of the Leased Properties.

The Company believes that its long-term debt and existing lines of credit
provide sufficient funding for the Company's operations. Except with respect to
financing for the possible acquisition of its Leased Properties as discussed
above, the Company believes that its long-term debt and existing lines of credit
provide sufficient funding for the Company's operations. In the event that the
Company requires additional financing during fiscal 1997, it will be necessary
to fund this require-

ment through expanded credit facilities with its existing or other lenders. The
Company believes that such additional financing can be arranged.

On November 18, 1996, the Company terminated its acquisition negotiations with
OroAmerica, Inc. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for
the three and nine months ended October 26, 1996 was a pre-tax charge of
$275,000 related to the terminated acquisition.

                      TO THE 1993 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
                       OF MICHAEL ANTHONY JEWELERS, INC.

         1.  Section 2.6 of the Plan is hereby amended by adding the phrase ",to
the extent practical," after the word "eligibility" in the phrase "whose members
meet the requirements for eligibility to serve" near the end of the sentence.

         2.  Section 3 of the Plan is hereby amended to increase the number of
Shares reserved for use, upon the issuance, vesting or exercise of Awards to be

         "The Board may appoint a Committee to administer the Plan, which
         Committee shall consist of not less than two (2) disinterested
         directors, to the extent practical, as defined in Rule 16b-3. Subject
         to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee or the Board shall have
         full authority, in its discretion, to determine the Employees to whom
