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

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three months  ended April 30, 1996 were $5.1 million  compared
to $9.3 million for the same period last year.  The decrease in net sales during
the quarter was primarily due to lower sales in the JL Colebrook  ($2.5 million)
and Womens  Leather  ($1.5  million)  divisions.  These  declines  resulted from
weakness in retail  sales of  outerwear  apparel.  The Company  expects that the
softness in the outerwear apparel market will continue to adversely affect sales
in the quarter ending July 31, 1996.

Gross  profit was $152,000  for the quarter  ended April 30,  1996,  compared to
$663,000 in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
was 3.0% for the three  months  ended April 30,  1996,  compared to 7.1% for the
same period last year. The decrease in the gross profit  percentage was a result
of certain  period costs  included in cost of goods sold being spread over lower
net sales.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  of $5.7  million for the three
months ended April 30, 1996 were  approximately  $345,000  more than in the same
period last year. The increase in selling,  general and administrative  expenses
compared  to last year  resulted  from  start-up  costs  relating to new product
development in branded  merchandise,  which includes  licensed product under the
Kenneth Cole label, as well as development of new distribution  channels.  These
increases  were  partially  offset by savings  resulting from the sub-lease of a
warehouse in March,  1996. The Company  continues to monitor and seeks to reduce
expense levels whenever possible.

For the three months ended April 30, 1996,  interest and  financing  charges was
$212,000,  a decrease  of $194,000  from the same period of the prior year.  The
decrease is attributable  to lower  borrowing  levels as a result of the Company
maintaining lower levels of inventory.

Income tax benefit of $2.3 million reflects an effective tax rate of 40% for the
three  months  ended April 30,  1996,  compared to an income tax benefit of $2.0
million  which  reflected the same  effective tax rate of 40% in the  comparable
period of the prior year.

As a result of the  foregoing,  for the three month period ended April 30, 1996,
the Company had a net loss of $3.4 million, or $.53 per share, compared to a net
loss of $3.0 million,  or $.47 per share, for the comparable period in the prior
year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has a loan  agreement,  which expires May 31, 1997,  providing for a
collateralized  working  capital  line of  credit  for a  maximum  amount of $48
million through October 30, 1996 (reduced to $40 million  commencing October 31,
1996),  of which a maximum of $40 million  (reduced  to $30  million  commencing
October 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 (8.25% as of June 1,
1996)  plus  1.75%.  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
payment of cash dividends. As of April 30, 1996, there were no direct borrowings
outstanding and approximately  $11.1 million of contingent  liability under open
letters of credit.  The amount  borrowed  under the line of credit  varies based
upon the Company's seasonal requirements.

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 April
30, 1996,  the borrowing by the Indonesian  subsidiary  under its line of credit
approximated $3.4 million.
