TECHKNITS, INC. & SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS

The Company is a vertically integrated manufacturer of knitted sweaters,
which it markets throughout the U.S.A. on a pre-order basis to multi-unit
stores and to wholesalers that sell under their own private labels.

Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company maintains credit insurance on
most of its accounts. For those accounts which are not insured the Company
monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for
anticipated losses.

Inventories - Inventories consist of finished garments, work in progress,
yarns, fabrics and supplies.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost
or market, using a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost.
Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method
over estimated useful lives:

Leasehold Improvements - Life of the related lease, which is not in excess
of the estimated useful life.
Furniture, Fixtures and Office Equipment - 6 to 10 years.
Manufacturing Equipment - 12 years.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue at the time goods
are shipped and title to goods sold passes to the customer.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
the results of operations of the Company and its subsidiary.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Earnings Per Share - Earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing
net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the year.

<PAGE>

NOTE 2 - INVENTORY LOSS
On March 11, 1996, the Company sustained inventory losses of $877,000
due to a flood.  Estimated net insurance reimbursement is expected to
be $478,842 of which $227,500 has been received by May 31, 1996.
The estimated loss of $398,158 is reflected in the cost of sales.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided for all transactions, regardless of
the year the transactions are reported for income tax purposes.
The differences in the timing of recognition of income and expenses for
income tax purposes are reflected as deferred income taxes.

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of the
revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3. - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Note 4. - LOAN PAYABLE TO BANK

The Company has a $6,000,000 line-of-credit agreement (the "Agreement")
with a bank expiring September 1, 1996 which provides for funds to be
advanced based on a specific formula.  At May 31, 1996, the Company had

NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In March 1993, the Company and its President were added as defendants
to an action brought by Chubb & Son, Inc., in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of New York, for conspiracy.
The basis of the claim against the Company, in the amount of
$1,200,000 plus punitive damages, is that Chubb paid the Company
an excessive sum for fire, water and smoke damage based on inflated
figures in an amount to be determined at trial.  The Company and its
President have denied the allegations of the complaint and intend to 
defend against the claims. As per company counsel, the claims have no
merit and are vigorously being contested.

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At May 31, 1996 and February 29, 1996, the Company was owed by its
President loans of $66,863 and $95,863, respectively.  These loans
bear interest at a rate of 7% annually.

NOTE 9 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

In December 1990, the Company's shareholders approved a resolution
of the Board of Directors authorizing a one for three reverse stock
split (of three old shares of common stock par value $.001 per share
for one new share of common stock par value $.003 per share).
Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock outstanding was
reduced to 1,900,000 shares $.003 par value per share.  At the same
time, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change
the number of authorized shares from 20,000 shares $.001 par value, one
Class A Warrant and one Class B Warrant each exercisable at $3.75 and
$4.50 per share, respectively, into one share of Common Stock $.001
par value. In April of 1992, the Company extended the expiration date
of such warrants to July 1, 1995. As of July 1, 1995, none of these
warrants were exercised and they expired.

Net sales for the three months ended May 31, 1996 were $1,088,247
representing a 37% decrease over net sales of $1,728,476 for the
three months ended May 31, 1995. The decrease is the result of 
discontinued non-profitable sales.

Gross profit excluding the inventory loss for the three months ended
May 31, 1996 increased by 10%. On March 11, 1996, the Company 
sustanined an estimated uninsured inventory loss of $398,158 resulting
in an overall reduction of gross profit by 27%. Operating expenses
increased by 10%.

Cash flow generated by the Company's operations is deemed adequate to 
meet the Company's financial obligations.
