value estimates of the existing depreciable assets acquired before December

 The Olympic Group has a loan and security agreement with Congress Credit
Corporation (Congress) providing a maximum credit of $15,000,000 (presently
$18,000,000), due in 2001. The agreement provides the following financing
arrangements and financial accommodations:

Congress provides revolving loans subject to certain limitations up to a
maximum amount of $14,764,000, letter of credit accommodations up to a
maximum amount of $1,000,000 and a $2,236,000 term loan.  The Olympic Group
shall pay Congress a letter of credit fee at an annual rate of 4% over the
daily outstanding balance of the letter of credit accommodations and an
annual facility fee of $75,000 while the agreement is in effect.  An unused
line fee is charged to the Olympic Group at a rate of .50% over the excess of
 $14,764,000 over the average principal balance of the outstanding revolving
loans and letter of credit accommodations.  The agreement provides for a
first chattel mortgage on all the equipment owned by the Olympic Group and a
lien upon its intangible assets, cash and investments, inventory and
eligible receivables.  The term loan due to Congress is collateralized by a
chattel mortgage over the Olympic Group's property.

Interest is payable on the outstanding principal amount at a 4% annual
interest rate over Congress' cost of borrowing Section 936 of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code funds in the commercial paper market or 2% over prime
rate, whichever is less.

The agreement contains various financial and non-financial covenants with
which the Olympic Group has not complied as of June 30, 1998.

On May 14, 1998, Olympic entered a term loan agreement amounting to
$1,350,000 with the Economic Development Bank for Puerto Rico (EDB).  The
proceeds of the loan shall be used to repay the interim secured loan due to
EDB amounting to $500,000 while the remaining portion will be used for
working capital purposes.  The loan principal shall be amortized in quarterly
installments commencing on July 1, 2001 through its remaining term as follows:

                                             Amortization as a Percentage of
Payment Dates                                       Outstanding Balance

July 1, 2001 to April 1, 2002         30% of the debt balance on May 31, 2001
July 1, 2002 to April 1, 2003         50% of the debt balance on May 31, 2002
July 1, 2003 to April 1, 2004        100% of the debt balance on May 31, 2003

Interest is payable quarterly commencing on July 1, 1998 as follows:

Date                                                Interest Rate

May 15, 2001 to May 14, 2004              Prime rate plus 650 basis points


At the option of Olympic Mills, up to 50% of the interest payable on the
note for the first quarters can be capitalized in a note payable to EDB due
on May 14, 2004.  The capitalization note shall bear interest at 100 basis
points above the interest rate payable at such time on the note.  Coachman
and various affiliates guarantee the payment of all amounts payable to EDB
under the agreement.

6. Common and Preferred Stock

On May 14, 1998, 6,360 Class AA preferred shares of stock of Coachman with a
redemption value of $1,000 per share, plus cumulative dividends and a
redemption premium, were redeemed in exchange for a subordinated capital
note. Amounting to $6,000,000 plus 679,290, for accumulated dividends and
premium, and the issuance of 2,772,450 shares of common stock of Coachman.

7. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB 128 for fiscal year 1997.
Under the provisions of FASB 128 the Company is required to report earnings/
(losses) per share under the following two concepts  (i) basic earnings/(losses)
per share and (ii) diluted earnings/(losses) per share.  Under the diluted
earnings/(losses) per share method, the Company must consider in the
computation of earnings/(losses) per share the effect of all dilutive common
shares that were outstanding for the period, including the number of common
shares that would have been issued and outstanding, if the stock options
granted by the Company for the period under the plan had been exercised.
Nevertheless, if the effect of considering the potential common shares
results in the computation being antidilutive then the FASB required that
the Company present basic earnings/(losses) per share only.  The Company has
reported losses for both the 1998 and 1997 interim periods, therefore it does
not include the potential common shares in the computation of loss per share
since this would result in an antidilutive computation of such loss per
common share.  Therefore, the Company's reported basic and diluted earnings/
(losses) per share is the same.  Potential common shares outstanding at
June 30, 1998 that could, in the future enter into the computation of diluted
earnings/(losses) per share amount to 36,666,667 shares.

The Company recorded a current income tax expense of $19,283 and a deferred
income tax expense of $59,797 for the six months period ended September 30,
1998.  The current income tax expense for the nine months period ended
September 30, 1997 amounted to $59,800.

8. Related Party Transactions

The following are transactions between the Company and subsidiaries, and
other related parties, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998
and 1997.

a. Coachman, one of its subsidiaries, and an officer are guarantors on certain
debt of Coachman Inns Income Limited Partnership which is collateralized by
real estate.  The outstanding balance of the debt amounted to approximately
$ 2,173,302 at September 30, 1998.  Coachman also holds a second mortgage on
the real estate.

b. Olympic leases its office and manufacturing facilities from one of
Coachman's stockholders under a yearly renewable lease agreement.  Total rent
expense under such lease amounted to approximately $507,240, for each of the
nine months periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

9. Contingencies

During 1996 and 1995, Coachman leased retail facilities under operating leases
with varying expiration dates.  Coachman discontinued its retail sales
segment in 1995.  All of the retail stores were closed in 1995 and 1996.
Some of the lease expiration dates were subsequent to the dates of the store
closings.  As such, Coachman or its subsidiaries may be liable for future
accelerated rent.  Coachman has accrued approximately $79,150 for current and
past due rent at September 30, 1998.  No amounts have been recorded for future
accelerated rent.

Coachman is a defendant in a lawsuit filed by the landlord of a closed store
for nonpayment of rents.  The suit asks for past due rent of approximately
$56,000 and accelerated rents of approximately $351,000, plus attorney fees
and costs.  Coachman believes the claim is without merit and intends to
vigorously defend its position.  Coachman has accrued approximately $34,000
related to this claim.

Coachman has liabilities recorded related to the discontinued retail sales
segment.  These liabilities include accounts payable, accrued liabilities,
notes payable and long-term debt.

Some of these liabilities are in various stages of dispute and/or litigation,
as well as default.  Coachman intends to settle these obligations in future
periods for amounts less than the face amounts.

The Company is involved in certain other claims and legal actions arising in
the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Coachman's wholly owned subsidiary, Coachman Inns of America, Inc., serves
as a general partner in a partnership owning one lodging property which
another Coachman's subsidiary manages.  As a general partner, Coachman's
subsidiary may be exposed to liability with respect to claims asserted
against the partnership.

10. Minority Interest in Subsidiary

During 1997 and 1996, Olympic issued 2,000 and 68,400 shares, respectively,
of 10% cumulative convertible preferred stock for  $1,760,000 through a
private placement.  These shares were offered at $25 per share and pay
quarterly dividends at a fixed annual rate of $2.50 per share beginning
December 31, 1996 which are cumulative from the date of issue ($132,000 and
$88,000 were accrued at Sept. 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively).  The
preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $25 per share plus accrued
and unpaid dividends.  The preferred shares are convertible at the option of
the holder at any time after the first nine months into share of common stock
of Coachman, at a conversion ratio based upon 80% of the average price of
Coachman, common stock for the twenty trading days prior to such conversion
for each share of preferred stock valued at $25 per share, unless earlier
redeemed.  The preferred share may be redeemed by Olympic at the following
rates:

                                              Amount per Share
              	After one year	                     $ 27.50
              	After two years                      	26.25
              	After three years	                    25.50
              	After four years	                     25.00
              	After five years                     	25.00


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

Material Changes in Financial Condition.
September 30, 1998 Compared to December 31, 1997

Since its acquisition of the outstanding stock of Olympic Mills Corporation
"OMC" and Lutania Mills Inc. "LM" (together "Olympic Mills") on December 21,
1995, the Corporation's focus has been concentrated on Olympic Mills, its
affiliates and subsidiaries.  Consequently, the analysis of the Corporation's
financial condition and results of operations that follows refers primarily
to the results of operations of these companies.

During the period, current assets increased by $7,534,399, caused by: (1) an
increase in trade receivables (net of an allowance of $303,865 for doubtful
accounts of $3,580,748; (2) an increase in inventories of $4,154,385; (3) an
increase of $236,012 in prepaid expenses and other current assets; and (4) a
decrease of $48,300 in cash, $226,128 in government incentives, $147,761 in
notes receivable from related parties and $10,712 in notes receivable from
affiliates.

Current liabilities decreased by $6,298,914 due primarily to decreases in
accounts payable trade of $1,750,531, current maturities of long term debt
of $5,823,012, accrued liabilities increased by $1,180,062, accounts payable
to related parties increased by $28,832, tax liabilities increased $24,866,
current obligations under capital lease increased $66,340.  The current ratio
was 1.68:1 higher than the 1997 year-end ratio of 0.85; and approaching the
company's goal of 2:1.

During the period, total assets increased by $12,730,037 and total liabilities
increased by $11,371,319.  At the end of the period assets were 1.43 times
liabilities.

On May 14, 1998, 6,360 Class AA preferred shares of Coachman stocks with a
redemption value of $1,000 per share plus cumulative dividends and a redemption
premium were exchanged for a subordinated capital note of  $6,679,290 and the
issuance of 2,772,45 shares of common stock of Coachman.  The exchange was
recommended by the Economic Development Bank, incidental to an investment in
subordinated capital notes granted by the institution to the corporation.  The
Bank, the corporation and the senior lender Congress Credit intended the
subordinated capital notes to qualify for financial statement presentation as
a component of capital.  Since this interpretation was not accepted by the
independent auditors, the Corporation is seeking alternatives with the
creditor to a amend the language of the subordinated capital notes documents
in order to convert such financial instrument into one that qualifies as a
component of capital.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For three and nine month periods ended Sept. 30, 1998 compared to the same
periods of 1997.  For the three months ended Sept. 30, 1998, the Corporation
had a net loss of $693,087 ($0.02 per share), compared to a net loss of
$1,665,227 ($0.07 per share) for the same period of 1997.  For the nine
month period ended Sept. 30, 1998, the Corporation had a net loss of
$1,091,859 ($0.04 per share) compared to a net loss of $3,670,596 ($0.16
per share) for the same period of 1997.

Revenues decreased by $1,295,859 for the three months and decreased by
$1,029,240 for the nine months.  The decrease in revenues was due primarily
to lower than anticipated production and sales during the first quarter
attributable to the capital shortage experienced during that quarter on
account of the 1997 year-end losses and decreased sales because Hurricane
Georges, discussed later.

During the nine month period ended in Sept. 30, 1998, the Corporation
experienced a reduction of $795,092 in its selling, general and administrative
expenses, compared to the same period in 1997. For the three months period
ended Sept. 30, 1998, selling, general, and administrative expenses were
reduced by $170,158 when compared to the same 1997 three months period.

A downward trend similar to the one reported above in the ratio of selling,
general and administrative expenses to trade net sales was observed in the
ratio of cost of goods sold to trade net sales during the periods under
comparison.

For the nine month period ended Sept. 30, 1998, the Corporation experienced a
reduction of $5,562,287 in its cost of goods sold, compared to the same period
in 1997.For the three months period ended Sept. 30, 1998, cost of goods sold
were $3,100,977 less than the corresponding figure for the three months period
ended Sept. 30, 1997.  Some estimates in inventory were used because of the
lack of a physical inventory at quarter end due to Hurricane Georges.

OTHER INFORMATION

On September 21, 1998 Puerto Rico was devastated by hurricane Georges.  The
hurricane caused serious physical damages to the Olympic plants, to include
equipment and inventories particularly to the Guaynabo facility.  In addition,
the Corporation suffered consequential damages because of the interruption
in the operations resulting from the said physical damages.

The losses, management believe, that are adequately covered by insurance,
except for applicable deductibles.  The insurer has been processing the
claims and a settlement is expected before the end of the year.

The ultimate outcome of this situation for the quarter is still uncertain,
since it has affected the Corporation's capacity to deliver goods on a timely
basis and, furthermore, has impacted the Corporation in a period preceding
the Christmas season which, historically, has been the Corporation's best
quarter.

As a result of this situation brought about by the hurricane, the Corporation
has accelerated its plans to vacate the Guaynabo premises to downsize its
Lutania operations and to sublease part of its premises, and to better adapt
its productions facilities to a new operational structure and an updated
market strategy.

In addition during the first week of October the GDB issued a commitment for
$3,000,000 in a permanent working capital loan to the company.  Management
expects to close the loan late 1998 or early 1999.

Management anticipates that the long term ultimate outcome of this situation
will be the attainment of a streamlined, more efficient operation, at an
earlier date than originally with the consequential benefits to the
Corporation.

MANAGEMENT'S EXPECTATIONS FOR THE FUTURE

It is management's opinion that the changes implemented will allow the company
to turnaround it financial results and return to profitability.

Although Management is committed to do it's best efforts to achieve the
above, it acknowledges that the Corporation's operations are subject to
market uncertainties and that there are no assurances that the expected
results will be attained.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

Other than stated below, the Corporation is not a party to any current,
pending or threatened material legal proceedings.  The Corporation's subsidiary
Caribbean Outfitters, Inc. is a party to a number of suits related to the
closing of all Retail Operations.  In the opinion of management none of
these will effect the corporation.

Item 5.	Other Information

Due to Hurricane Georges, many of the Corporations records were destroyed or
damaged.  Management has used its best efforts in accurately recruiting them.
Although no significant changes in these financial statements are expected,
some year end adjustments may be necessary.
