Note 6 - Unusual Charge

During the quarter ended October 31, 1994 the Company recorded an unusual charge
for inventory markdowns of $5.7 million in the recognition of the high levels of
inventory on hand caused by an unusually warm fall season and the resulting lack
of customer reorders.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
of Operations.

Results of Operations

Net sales and revenues  for the three  months ended  October 31, 1995 were $57.7
million  compared to $73.6  million for the same period last year.  For the nine
months  ended  October 31,  1995,  net sales and  revenues  were $103.0  million
compared to $141.9  million for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease
in net sales  during the three month  period  ended  October 31, 1995 was due to
continued  weakness in the retail business  environment,  as well as warmer than
usual  weather  patterns,  both of which  adversely  affected  sales of  leather
outerwear. The Company expects that the weak retail environment will continue to
adversely  affect sales in the quarter  ending  January 31,  1996.  For the nine
month period ended October 31, 1995, approximately $26.7 million of the decrease
in net sales and revenues was the result of lower sales at the retail level. The
balance  of the decrease (approximately  $12.2  million) is attributable to  the
recognition  by the  Company  of only  commission  income on   certain  types of
sales  where the Company's  customers  provide  letters  of  credit   which  are
transferred  by the Company  directly  to overseas  manufacturers  or  where the
Company's   customer  provided  a  letter   of   credit   directly   to overseas
manufacturers. Prior to the quarter ended July 31, 1994, the customer provided a
letter of credit to the Company  and  the  Company  opened  a letter  of  credit
to the  manufacturer. Accounting  rules  require the Company  to recognize  only
commission  income with respect to transactions  where the Company does not open
a letter of credit. The Company  expects that it will  continue to  utilize this
type  transaction  which results in the Company reporting lower net sales and
revenues.

For the nine months ended October 31, 1995 and 1994 the Company  recognized $8.6
million and $ 6.9 million of commission income, respectively. If the Company had
recognized the full amount of sales from this type of transaction, net sales and
revenues would have been $151.0 million and $177.7 million, respectively.

Gross  profit was $12.5  million for the three  months  ended  October 31, 1995,
compared  to $13.1  million  in the same  period  last year.  Gross  profit as a
percentage  of net sales and  revenues  was  21.7%  for the three  months  ended
October 31, 1995,  compared to 17.7% for the same period last year. For the nine
month period ended  October 31, 1995,  gross profit was $22.8 million , or 22.1%
of net sales and  revenues,  compared to $23.2 million or 16.3% of net sales and
revenues  for the same period last year.  While the change in the use of certain
letters of credit to transact sales did not impact gross profit dollars,  it did
affect gross profit as a  percentage  of net sales and revenues  since net sales
and  revenues  recognized  from such  transactions  were lower.  Had the Company
recognized the full amount of such sales, gross profit for the nine months ended
October 31, 1995 would have been 15.1% and 13.0%, respectively, of net sales and
revenues.  The increase in the gross profit  percentage was a result of improved
margins in a majority of product lines as well as cost reductions resulting from
closure of the Company's domestic manufacturing facilities.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  of $6.1  million for the three
months ended October 31, 1995 were approximately  $912,000 less than in the same
period last year. As a percentage of net sales and  revenues,  selling,  general
and  administrative  expenses  were 10.5% in this  period  compared to 9.5% last
year. For the nine month period,  selling, general and  administrative  expenses
were  $16.9  million  or 16.4% of net  sales  and  revenues,  compared  to $19.7
million, or 13.8% of net sales and revenues  for  the same period last year. The
increase  as a  percentage  of net sales and  revenues  was the  result of lower
reported net sales and revenues as described above.  The lower selling,  general
and  administrative  expenses  were the result of the  implementation  of a cost
reduction  program which began in the second half of the prior fiscal year.  The
Company is continuing to monitor and reduce expense levels and expects  selling,
general and administrative expenses to continue to decrease for the remainder of
the year, compared to last year, as a result of this program.

Interest expense of $853,000 was $367,000 lower in the quarter ended October 31,
1995,  compared to interest  expense in the same period last year.  For the nine
months ended October 31, 1995,  interest expense was $2.3 million, a decrease of
$520,000 from the prior year. The decrease is  attributable  to lower  borrowing
levels as a result of the Company  maintaining lower levels of inventory,  which
more than offset higher interest rates and other financing costs.

Income taxes of $2.2 million reflects an effective tax rate  of  40.0%  for  the
three  months  ended  October 31,  1995,  compared to an income tax  benefit  of
$363,000 which  reflected an effective tax rate  of  44.5%  in  the   comparable
period in the prior year.  For the nine months ended  October 31,  1995,  income
taxes of $1.6 million  reflects  an  effective  tax rate of 44.3%,  compared  to
an income tax benefit  of $2.2  million  in the same  period  last  year,  which
reflected  an effective  tax rate of 44.6 %.  The  decreased  effective tax rate
for the nine months  results  from a lower  provision  for  current  year income
taxes (40%), resulting  from the state and local tax loss carry forward from the
prior year, offset in part by additional  federal taxes of $157,000 due  to  the
settlement of an income tax audit for certain prior periods through January  31,
1993.

As a result of the foregoing, for the three month period ended October 31, 1995,
the Company had net income of $3.4 million, or $.50 per share, compared to a net
loss of  $452,000,  or $.07 per share,  for the  comparable  period in the prior
year.  For the nine month  period ended  October 31,  1995,  the Company had net
income  of  $2.0  million,  or $.31 per share,  compared  to a net  loss of $2.7
million, or $.42 per share, for the same period in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has a loan  agreement,  which expires May 31, 1996,  providing for a
collateralized  working  capital  line of  credit  for a  maximum  amount of $48
million through January 30, 1996 (reduced to $40 million  commencing January 31,
1996),  of which a maximum of $40 million  (reduced  to $32  million  commencing
January 31, 1996) is available for direct  borrowings and the unused balance for
letters of credit. All amounts available for borrowings are subject to borrowing
base formulas and overadvances specified in the agreement.

Direct  borrowings bear interest at the agent's prime rate (8.75% as of December
1,  1995)  plus 2%.  All  borrowings  are  collateralized  by the  assets of the
Company.  The loan agreement  requires the Company,  among other  covenants,  to
maintain  certain  earnings and tangible net worth  levels,  and  prohibits  the
payments of cash dividends.  As of October 31, 1995,  there was $13.7 million of
borrowings  outstanding and approximately $ 8.2 million of contingent  liability
under  open  letters of credit.  The  amount  borrowed  under the line of credit
varies based on the Company's seasonal requirements.  The current loan agreement
reduced the maximum credit line  available to the Company  compared to the prior
year.  The Company is carrying lower levels of inventory in the  current  fiscal
year  compared to the prior year and,  as a result,  believes that this facility
will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs. Inventories as  of October
31, 1995 were $20.5 million  compared to $38.9 million as of October 31, 1994.

The Company's  wholly-owned  Indonesian  subsidiary  has a line of credit with a
bank for  approximately  $3.5  million  which  is  supported  by a $2.0  million
stand-by  letter of credit  issued under the  Company's  loan  agreement.  As of
October 31, 1995, the borrowing by the Indonesian  subsidiary  under its line of
credit approximated $2.4 million.
