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

Results of Operations

Net sales  for the three  months  ended  October  31,  1996 were  $65.3  million
compared to $57.7  million  for the same  period last year.  For the nine months
ended October 31, 1996, net sales were $96.6 million  compared to $103.0 million
for the same period in the prior  year.  The  increase  in net sales  during the
three month period was primarily  due to sales of Kenneth Cole licensed  product
($5.0 million), increased volume in the Sports Licensing division ($5.8 million)
and Men's division ($6.1 million)  offset in part by reduced sales of moderately
priced women's  outerwear ($9.5  million).  The decrease in net sales during the
nine month period was primarily due to a reduction in sales of moderately priced
women's  outerwear offset in part by increases in sales of Kenneth Cole,  Sports
Licensing and Men's product.

Gross  profit was $16.3  million for the three  months  ended  October 31, 1996,
compared  to $12.2  million  in the same  period  last year.  Gross  profit as a
percentage  of net sales was 25.0% for the three months ended  October 31, 1996,
compared to 21.2% for the same period last year. For the nine month period ended
October  31,  1996,  gross  profit  was $25.7  million,  or 26.6% of net  sales,
compared to $22.5 million,  or 21.8% of net sales for the same period last year.
The increase in the gross profit  percentage was a result of improved margins in
several  product  lines and an increase  in sales of branded  product and sports
licensing product which have higher margins.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  of $6.2  million for the three
months ended October 31, 1996 were approximately  $400,000 more than in the same
period  last  year.  As  a  percentage  of  net  sales,  selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses  were 9.4% in this period  compared to 10.0% last year.
For the  nine  month  period  ended  October  31,  1996,  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses were $17.2 million, or 17.8% of net sales,  compared to
$16.6 million, or 16.1% of net sales for the same period last year.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased compared to last year
primarily as the result of 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  which more than
offset reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from
the consolidation of the Company's two distribution centers into one location in
January 1996 and certain personnel reductions.  The Company continues to monitor
and seeks to reduce expense levels whenever appropriate.

Interest expense of $919,000 was $66,000 higher in the quarter ended October 31,
1996,  compared to  $853,000  in the same period last year.  For the nine months
ended October 31, 1996, interest expense was $1,624,000,  a decrease of $627,000
from the prior year. Due to lower inventory levels, the Company was debt-free on
its domestic borrowing  agreement from December 22, 1995 until May 9, 1996. This
resulted  in lower  interest  costs for the nine month  period than in the prior
year when the Company was continuously in a domestic borrowing position.

Income  taxes of $3.7  million  reflect an  effective  tax rate of 40.0% for the
three  months ended  October 31, 1996,  compared to income taxes of $2.2 million
(effective  tax rate of 40.0%) in the  comparable  period in the prior year. For
the nine months ended October 31, 1996, the income tax of $2.7 million  reflects
an effective tax rate of 40.0%,  compared to income taxes of $1.6 million in the
same period last year.

As a result of the foregoing, for the three month period ended October 31, 1996,
the Company had net income of $5.6 million, or $.83 per share, compared to a net
income of $3.4  million,  or $.50 per share,  for the  comparable  period in the
prior year.  For the nine month period ended October 31, 1996, the Company had a
net income of $4.1 million, or $.61 per share,  compared to a net income of $2.0
million, or $.31 per share, for the same 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 December
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
payments of cash dividends.  As of October 31, 1996,  there was $20.6 million of
borrowings  outstanding and approximately  $9.0 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 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, 1996, the borrowing by the Indonesian  subsidiary  under its line of
credit approximated $2.9 million.
