                    PARLUX FRAGRANCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.       Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Parlux Fragrances,
Inc. and Parlux, S.A., a wholly-owned inactive French subsidiary ("S.A.") and
Parlux Ltd. (jointly referred to as the "Company"). All material intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations,
although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. The financial information presented
herein, which is not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
current fiscal year, reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim unaudited
consolidated financial statements. It is suggested that these consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's March 31, 2000 Form 10-K as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14, 2000.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. Management is currently
negotiating with other banks to obtain financing to replace the Credit
Agreement. As of June 30, 2000, the Company has not obtained financing from an
alternative source.

Management's plan initially consists of obtaining sufficient financing from
alternative sources to replace the Credit Agreement and management believes that
funds from operations and any new financing will be sufficient to meet the
Company's operating needs. There is no assurance, however, that alternative
financing will be available in the future, and if available, at terms and
conditions agreeable to the Company.

This factor among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to
continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Certain reclassifications were made to the June 30, 1999 financial statements to
conform with the presentation of the June 30, 2000 financial statements.

B.  Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market. The components of inventories are as follows:

                                       June 30, 2000             March 31, 2000

                                       6
<PAGE>

The cost of inventories includes product costs and handling charges, including
allocation of the Company's applicable overhead in the amount of $1,845,000 at
June 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000. The above amounts are net of reserves for
potential inventory obsolescence of approximately $1,722,000 and $1,520,000 at
June 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000, respectively.

</TABLE>

In May 1997, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement ( the Credit
Agreement ) with General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC), pursuant to which
the Company was able to borrow, on a revolving basis for a three-year period,
depending on the availability of a borrowing base, up to $25,000,000 at an
interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.50% or .75% in excess of the Wall Street Journal
prime rate, at the Company's option.

Substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company collateralize this
borrowing. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and
covenants which prohibit, among other things, incurring additional indebtedness
in excess of a specified amount, paying dividends, creating liens, and engaging
in mergers and acquisitions without the prior consent of GECC. The Credit
Agreement also contains certain financial covenants relating to net worth,
interest coverage and other financial ratios.

Due principally to the significant treasury stock purchases under the Company's
stock buy back program, as of March 31, 2000, the Company was not in compliance
with financial covenants relating to tangible net worth, current ratio and
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as well as the restricted payment covenants
exceeding the amount of fixed assets and treasury stock which can be purchased
as well as advances to related parties and employees. GECC has agreed to extend
the maturity of the Credit Agreement until August 29, 2000, while reducing the
borrowing limit to $15 million, more in line with the Company's current needs.

At June 30, 2000, based on the borrowing base at that date, the credit line
amounted to approximately $13,147,000, and accordingly, the Company had
approximately $1,655,000 available under the credit line, excluding the effect
of restricted cash of approximately $538,000.

Management believes that, based on current circumstances, the Company will be
able to obtain sufficient financing from alternative sources to replace the
Credit Agreement and funds from operations and any new financing will be
sufficient to meet the Company's operating needs. However, there can be no
assurance that alternative financing will be available in the future, and if
available at terms and conditions agreeable to the Company.

E.       Related Parties Transactions

As of June 30, 2000, the Company had loaned a total of $920,920 ($899,105 at
March 31, 2000) to its Chairman/CEO, which is recorded as a component of

                                        8
<PAGE>

stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The notes
are unsecured, bear interest at 10% per annum, and are due in one balloon
payment on March 31, 2001. As of this date, interest payments are current
through June 30, 2000.

The Company had net sales of $7,315,666 and $8,306,510 during the three-month
periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively, to Perfumania, Inc.
("Perfumania"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of E Com Ventures, Inc. ("ECMV"), a
company in which the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has an
ownership interest and holds identical management positions. Net trade accounts
receivable and note receivable owed by Perfumania to the Company amounted to
$9,460,996 and $5,043,151, respectively, at June 30, 2000 ($9,561,550 and
$2,500,000, respectively, at March 31, 2000). Amounts due from related parties
are non-interest bearing and are realizable in less than one year, except for
the subordinated note receivable discussed below.

On July 1, 1999, Perfumania and the Company's Board of Directors approved the
transfer of 1,512,406 shares of Perfumania treasury stock to the Company in
consideration for a partial reduction of the outstanding trade receivable
balance in the amount of $4,506,970. The transfer price was based on a per share
price of $2.98, which approximated 90% of the closing price of Perfumania's
common stock for the previous 20 business days. (In accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, these securities are considered
available-for-sale securities and must be recorded at fair value. Changes in
unrealized gains and losses are charged or credited as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, and are included in the
accompanying consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity at March
31, 2000). In connection with the agreement for the transfer of the shares, the
parties executed a registration rights agreement whereby the Company would be
able to demand registration of the shares with the Securities and Exchange
Commission at any time after February 29, 2000. Both agreements were consummated
on August 31, 1999, and the demand registration was requested on March 3, 2000.
Effective February 1, 2000, ECMV was formed as a holding company and
accordingly, former Perfumania shareholders now hold common stock in ECMV. A
registration statement was filed by ECMV during April 2000. As of June 30, 2000,
the fair market value of the investment in ECMV is $3,886,883 ($2.57 per share).

In addition, on October 4, 1999, the parties entered into an agreement which
converted $8 million of the outstanding trade receivable into a subordinated
secured note receivable. The note bears interest at prime plus one percent and
is repayable in installments of $3,000,000 in October 1999, six equal monthly
installments of $500,000 from November 1999 through April 2000, with the balance
of $2,000,000 due on May 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2000, $5,500,000 of the note
receivable had been repaid in accordance with its terms.

During the period of April 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000, the Company received
cash payments of $4.72 million from Perfumania, including the April installment
and May interest payment due under the note receivable.

On June 1, 2000, the parties entered into a new subordinated $5 million note
agreement which refinanced the remaining $2 million under the October 4, 1999
note, as well as converted $3 million of the outstanding trade receivable due
from Perfumania to the Company. The new note is repayable in six equal monthly
installments of $500,000, plus interest, from July 2000 through December 2000,
with the balance of $2 million due on December 29, 2000. The terms and
conditions of the new note are identical to the October 4, 1999 note.

As indicated in various public press releases, Perfumania has reported both
aggregate and comparative store sales increases for each of the months during
the period February 1999 through July 2000. In addition, during September 1999,
its subsidiary, perfumania.com, successfully completed a public offering in
which Perfumania also sold one million of its perfumania.com shares,


                                       9
<PAGE>

subsequently selling an additional two million shares and five hundred thousand
shares in January 2000 and May 2000, respectively, generating over $25 million
in cash from the four transactions. Additionally, during May 2000, Perfumania
entered into a new $40 million line of credit agreement with General Motors
Commercial Credit Corporation. Based on the factors described above, management
believes that the receivable from Perfumania is fully collectible.

During the period of July 1, 2000 through August 10, 2000, the Company received
additional cash payments of $1.54 million from Perfumania, including the July
and August installments due under the note receivable.

G.       Cash Flow Information

The Company considers temporary investments with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. Supplemental disclosures of cash flow
information are as follows:
                                                Three-months ended June 30,

                                                  ----              ----
                 Cash paid for:
                     Interest                   $444,876         $246,610
                     Income taxes               $241,340         $ 20,823

During June 2000, the Company entered into a barter agreement for which it
received $1,200,000 of advertising credits in exchange for all of its remaining
finished goods inventory of Baryshnikov products. The Company deferred the gross
margin of $472,181 on the barter sale until the advertising is used, and
recorded the advertising credits, net of unearned income, as a prepaid expense
in the accompanying June 30, 2000 balance sheet, while increasing cost of goods
sold for an equal amount. As advertising credits are used by the Company,
advertising and promotional expense will be charged, a pro-rata share of the
unearned income debited, with a corresponding credit to cost of goods sold.


                                       10
<PAGE>

As a result, as the advertising credits are used, cost of goods sold decreases
and gross margin increases both in the aggregate and as a percentage of net
sales.

H.       Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
reflects an effective tax rate of approximately 38%.

I.       License and Distribution Agreements

As of June 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000, the Company held exclusive worldwide
licenses to manufacture and distribute fragrance and other related products
under the trademarks for Perry Ellis, Ocean Pacific ("OP"), and Phantom.

Under each of these arrangements, the Company must pay royalties at various
rates based on net sales, and spend minimum amounts for advertising based on
sales volume. The agreements expire on various dates and are subject to renewal.
The Company believes that it is presently in compliance with all material
obligations under the above agreements.

Effective January 1, 2000, the Company entered into an exclusive license
agreement with PEZ Candy, Inc. ("PEZ"), to manufacture and distribute men's and
women's fragrances and other related products under the PEZ trademark throughout
the western hemisphere. The Company anticipates launching the first PEZ
fragrances for Summer 2001 season.

On October 13, 1999, the Company was notified by the Baryshnikov licensor of its
intent to immediately terminate the license agreement with the Company, which
was to expire on March 31, 2001, due to the Company's unwillingness to develop
and distribute a new women's fragrance by October 31, 1999, as stipulated in the
license agreement. On January 11, 2000, a settlement was reached which entitled
the Company to continue producing and selling Baryshnikov brand products until
April 30, 2000, at which time all remaining unsold inventory and advertising
material would be destroyed. On April 28, 2000, the parties agreed to extend the
sales period until June 30, 2000. Sales of Baryshnikov products represented less
than 2% of total Company net sales for each of the three years ended March 31,
2000. Management believes that the effect of this matter will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations. As discussed above, on June 29, 2000, the Company entered into a
barter agreement covering all of its remaining Baryshnikov finished goods
inventory.

factors which have affected the Registrant's (the Company's) financial position
and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial
statements and notes. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with such financial statements and notes.

Recent Developments
-------------------

On June 29, 2000, the Company entered into a barter agreement for which it
received $1.2 million of advertising credits in exchange for all of its
remaining finished goods inventory of Baryshnikov products. See Note G to the
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

On June 1, 2000, the Company entered into a new subordinated note agreement with
Perfumania, Inc. See Note E to the accompanying Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion.

On May 25, 2000, the Company entered into a forbearance and amendment agreement
with General Electric Credit Corporation. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources"
for further discussion.

Results of Operations
---------------------

Comparison of the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 with the three-month
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
period ended June 30, 1999.
--------------------------

During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, net sales increased 13% to $16,911,185
as compared to $14,929,833 for the same period for the prior year. The increase
is mainly attributable to improvement in international gross sales from
$3,839,844 to $5,356,791, the continuing strength of Perry Ellis brand products
and the $1,200,000 barter sale of Baryshnikov brand products discussed above.
Excluding comparative sales of Baryshnikov brand products, net sales increased
6% during the current period. Approximately $2,191,000 and $1,475,000 of the
increase is related to the initial launches of the Perry Ellis "Portfolio for
Men" (August 1999) and "Portfolio for Women" (March 2000) fragrances,
respectively, which are expected to continue their roll-out through the Fall
2000 season. Total gross sales of all Perry Ellis brands increased 15% compared
to the same period in the prior year from $10,813,515 to $12,447,534.


                                       12
<PAGE>

Sales to unrelated customers increased 45% to $9,595,519 in the current period,
compared to $6,623,323 in the same period in the prior year, reflecting the
improvement in international sales and the continued launch of the Perry Ellis
"Portfolio" products. Sales to related parties decreased 12% to $7,315,666 in
the current quarter compared to $8,306,510 in the same period in the prior
fiscal year.

Cost of goods sold decreased as a percentage of net sales from 45% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 to 43% for the current quarter, including the effect
of the barter transaction. Without the effect of the barter transaction, cost of
goods sold for the current quarter would have been 40%. The decrease was mainly
attributable to the sale of certain closeout merchandise to international
customers at below cost during the prior year period. Cost of goods sold on
sales to unrelated customers and related parties approximated 40% and 41%,
respectively, during the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to 45% and
44%, respectively, in the prior year comparable quarter, excluding the effect of
the barter transaction.

Operating expenses increased by 18% compared to the prior fiscal year from
$6,899,851 to $8,115,011, increasing as a percentage of net sales from 46% to
48%. Advertising and promotional expenses increased 27% to $4,400,212 compared
to $3,454,120 in the prior year period, the necessary investment to fund the
continuing launch costs for "Portfolio". Selling and distribution costs
increased 17% to $1,556,095 in the current fiscal period as compared to
$1,324,759 in the same period of the prior fiscal year, decreasing as a
percentage of net sales from 10% to 9%. General and administrative expenses
increased by 13% compared to the prior year period from $930,229 to $1,050,224,
remaining relatively constant at 6% of net sales. Depreciation and amortization
decreased by $81,978 or 13% during the current period from $620,230 to $538,252,
reflecting the full amortization as of March 31, 2000 of goodwill in connection
with the cancelled Baryshnikov license agreement. Royalties remained relatively
constant at approximately $570,000, decreasing as a percentage of sales from 4%
to 3%, as guaranteed minimum royalties for the Baryshnikov brand during the
prior year period are no longer required as the license was cancelled.

As a result of the above, the Company had operating income of $1,521,402 or 9%
of net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000, compared to
$1,327,007 or 9% of net sales for the comparable period in the prior year. Net
interest expense decreased slightly to $229,651 in the current fiscal year as
compared to $232,775 in the same period in the prior year. Income before taxes
for the current fiscal year was $1,291,751, or 8% of net sales compared to
$1,094,232 or 7% of net sales in the same period in the prior year.

Giving effect to the tax provision, net income amounted to $800,886 or 5% of net
sales for the current quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $678,424 or 5%
of net sales for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.

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

Working capital decreased to $30,401,745 as of June 30, 2000, compared to
$34,753,382 at March 31, 2000, reflecting the current period's net income,
offset by the reduction in the unrealized holding gain on investment in
affiliate and the purchase of approximately $1,142,000 in treasury stock as
discussed below.

In September 1999, the Company completed the fourth phase of its common stock
buy-back program and the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an
additional 2,500,000 shares. As of June 30, 2000, the Company has repurchased
under all phases a total of 7,978,131 shares at a cost of $21,983,523. The
accompanying consolidated balance sheets also include an additional 39,000
shares of treasury stock purchased at a cost of $133,472 prior to fiscal 1996.

In May 1997, the Company entered into a three-year loan and Security Agreement
(the Credit Agreement) with General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC). Under
the Credit Agreement, the Company was able to borrow, on a revolving basis,
depending on the availability of a borrowing base, up to $25,000,000 at an
interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.50% or .75% in excess of the Wall Street Journal
prime rate, at the Company's option.

Substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company collateralize this
borrowing. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and
covenants which prohibit, among other things, incurring additional indebtedness
in excess of a specified amount, paying dividends, creating liens, and engaging
in mergers and acquisitions without the prior consent of GECC. The Credit
Agreement also contains certain financial covenants relating to net worth,
interest coverage and other financial ratios.

Due principally to the significant treasury stock purchases under the Company's
stock buy back program, as of March 31, 2000, the Company was not in compliance
with financial covenants relating to tangible net worth, current ratio and
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as well as the restricted payment covenants
exceeding the amount of fixed assets and treasury stock which can be purchased
as well as advances to related parties and employees. GECC has agreed to extend
the maturity of the Credit Agreement until August 29, 2000, while reducing the
borrowing limit to $15 million, more in line with the Company's current needs.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. Management is currently
negotiating with other banks to obtain financing to replace the Credit
Agreement. As of June 30, 2000, the Company has not obtained financing from an
alternative source.

Management's plan initially consists of obtaining sufficient financing from
alternative sources to replace the Credit Agreement and management believes that
funds from operations and any new financing will be sufficient to meet the
Company's operating needs. There is no assurance, however, that alternative
financing will be available in the future, and if available, at terms and
conditions agreeable to the Company.

This factor among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to
continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Year 2000 ("Y2K") Issues
------------------------

As of June 30, 2000, the Company's management information system hardware
consisted of an IBM AS 400, coupled with networked personal computer
workstations. The Company has upgraded its JD Edwards software to the latest
release, which is Y2K compliant. JD Edwards released its final Y2K upgrade
during September 1999 which was implemented by the Company. In connection
therewith, a hardware upgrade was completed on its 9406 processor from a model
310 to a model 620, which more than doubled the commercial processing workload
(CPW) to support the new release and other business applications. In addition,
the upgrade of the Company's Pitney Bowes shipping system was completed during
November 1999. The new upgrade interfaces fully with the AS400 and JD Edwards
software. The costs incurred in connection with the upgrades, including outside
consultants, amounted to approximately $400,000.

                                       14

To date, the Company has not encountered any significant Y2K problem, and
continues to devote the necessary internal resources to ensure all Y2K issues
are addressed in a timely manner. Internal modifications to all personnel
computer operating systems have been completed. Testing of electronic data
interchange (EDI) modifications with all major customers has also been
completed. Verification of Y2K compliance with major suppliers continues,
however, no significant problems have been encountered.

Management believes that such processing issues, if any, will be resolved.
Nevertheless, if the Company, its customers or suppliers are unable to resolve
such processing issues, it could result in material financial risks such as the
inability to produce and distribute the Company's products. Contingency plans
for order processing are already in place.
