FORM 10-Q FOR QUARTER ENDED JULY 29, 2000
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO JANUARY 29, 2000 IS UNAUDITED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of July 29,
2000 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 2000 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.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT NOT YET ADOPTED
In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires that all
derivative instruments be measured at fair value and recognized in the
balance sheet as either assets or liabilities. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133.
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 ordered or shipped to the customer, 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.

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. On April 4, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized an increase of
an additional 500,000 shares of Common Stock that the Company may
repurchase under the Stock Repurchase Plan. On May 26, 1998, the Board of
Directors authorized an increase of up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of
common stock that the Company may repurchase under the Stock Repurchase
Plan.
As of September 7, 2000, the Company had purchased a total of 1,976,000
shares on the open market for an aggregate cost of approximately
$6,105,000, of which 60,000 shares have been retired.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
------------------------------------------------
JULY 29, 2000 AND JULY 31, 1999
-------------------------------
Net sales for the three months ended July 29, 2000 were approximately
$24,821,000, a decrease of 2% from net sales of approximately $25,331,000 for
the comparable period last year.
Gross profit margin decreased to approximately 18.8% of net sales for the three
months ended July 29, 2000 compared to approximately 24.3% for the comparable
period last year, primarily due to a change in the customer and product mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 29,
2000 were approximately $5,821,000 a decrease of $599,000 or 9.3% from
approximately $6,420,000 for the comparable period last year. As a percentage of
net sales, selling , general and administrative expenses decreased to 23.5% for
the three months ended July 29, 2000 from 25.3% for the comparable period of the
prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in (i)
advertising related expenses, and (ii) product and packaging supplies.
Other expenses for the three months ended July 29, 2000 were approximately
$454,000, an increase of $29,000 or 6.8% compared to approximately $425,000 for
the comparable period last year. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in
interest income due to the Company's lower cash position. This increase was
partly offset by a decrease in gold consignment fees of $31,000 primarily due to
the Company's lower gold rates.
As a result of the above factors the Company had a net loss for the three months
ended July 29, 2000 of approximately $993,000 or $.16 per share on 6,336,000
weighted average shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of $436,000 or $.06
per share on 6,739,000 weighted average shares outstanding for the comparable
period last year.

2000 were approximately $11,776,000, a decrease of $807,000 or 6.4% from
approximately $12,583,000 for the comparable period last year. The decrease is
primarily attributable to decreases in (i) advertising related expenses and (ii)
product and packaging supplies.
Interest expense and gold consignment fees for the six months ended July 29,
2000 were approximately $821,000, an increase of $42,000 or 5.4% compared to
approximately $779,000 for the comparable period last year. The increase was
primarily due to a decrease in interest income due to the Company's lower cash
position.
As a result of the above factors the Company had a net loss for the six months
ended July 29, 2000 of approximately $1,447,000 or $.23 per share on 6,338,000
weighted average shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of $253,000 or $.04

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO JANUARY 29, 2000 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 270,000 ounces of fine gold or (ii)
consigned gold with an aggregate value equal to $92,250,000.
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 July 29, 2000, the Company held 176,900
ounces of gold on consignment with a market value of $49,213,000.
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 July 29, 2000, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in its
consignment agreements and the Company's owned gold inventory was valued at
approximately $3,740,000. 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.
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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO JANUARY 29, 2000 IS UNAUDITED)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)
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 29, 2000 until July 29, 2000, the
closing price of gold according to the Second London Gold Fix ranged from a low
of $272 per ounce to a high of nearly $313 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.
On January 27, 1999, the Company repaid its long-term debt with the insurance
companies by obtaining a loan from a new lender in the amount of $10,444,000. As
collateral for the loan, the Company granted the lender a lien on the Company's
machinery and equipment. The loan has an eight-year term and will accrue
interest at 6.85%. The loan does not contain any restrictive financial
covenants. At July 29, 2000, $9,853,000 of principal remained outstanding under
the loan.
On February 10, 1999, Michael Anthony obtained a loan in the amount of $937,500.
As collateral for the loan, the Company granted the lender a first mortgage on
one of its manufacturing facilities. The mortgage has a fifteen-year term and
accrues interest at an annual rate of 7.05%. At July 29, 2000, $885,000 of
principal remained outstanding under the loan.
In October 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 July 29, 2000, the
Company was in compliance with the covenants and $1,990,000 of principal
remained outstanding under the mortgage.
On September 16, 1999, the Company acquired two buildings which house two
manufacturing facilities, located at 70 and 60 South MacQuesten Parkway, Mount
Vernon, NY from MacQuesten Realty Company for a price of $2,450,000. The Company
incurred $929,000 of long term debt, which has a four-year term and accrues
interest at an annual rate of 7.50%, and paid the balance with cash from its
operations. At July 29, 2000, $763,000 of principal remained outstanding under
the loan.
The Company has a line of credit arrangement with a commercial bank which varies
seasonally from $10,000,000 to $18,350,000 (the "Line of Credit"). The Line of
Credit is secured by certain assets of the Company, including accounts
receivable and inventory. As of July 29, 2000 no amount was outstanding under
the Line of Credit.

(INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO JANUARY 29, 2000 IS UNAUDITED)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)
During the six months ended July 29, 2000, cash provided from operating
activities was $753,000. The decrease compared to last year is primarily due to
an increase in inventory offset by an increase in accounts payable and decreases
in taxes payable. During the comparable period of the prior year, the Company
provided $5,330,000 of cash in operating activities, primarily due to the
decreased accounts receivable.
Cash of $1,728,000 was used in investing activities as compared to $4,041,000
used during the comparable six-month period last year. The decrease is primarily
due to the Company's purchases of certain assets, primarily molds, machinery and
equipment, from Town & Country Fine Jewelry Group for the comparable period last
year.
Cash of $915,000 was used in financing activities during the six-month period,
compared to $52,000 used in the comparable period of the prior year. The
decrease was primarily due to the Company's issuance of long term debt last
year.
For the balance of fiscal 2001, the Company projects capital expenditures of
approximately $1,300,000.
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 2001, it will be necessary
to fund this requirement through expanded credit facilities with its existing or
other lenders. The Company believes that such additional financing can be
arranged.

commitments on projections and orders; and
f) the extent to which the Company is able to attract and retain key
personnel.
In light of these uncertainties and risks, there can be no assurance that the
forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will occur or
continue in the future. Except for its required, periodic filings under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company undertakes no obligations to
release publicly any revisions to these forward looking statements that may
reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
------------------------
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by
SFAS No. 137, which is effective for the fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging periods. It requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
---------------------------------------------------------
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
approximate fair value because of the current nature of these instruments.
The carrying amount reported for revolving credit and long-term debt
approximate fair value because of the interest rates on these instruments
approximate current market rates. Because the interest rates on our long
term debt is fixed and our revolving debt is utilized seasonally we do not
hedge against interest rate increases.
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 form, 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.
All of our revenues are realized in U.S. dollars and all of our revenues are
from customers in the United States. Therefore, we do not believe we face
significant direct foreign currency exchange rate risk. We do not hedge
against foreign currency exchange rate changes.
