Note 4--Notes Payable

The Company's loan agreement, which expires on May 31, 2002, provides for a
maximum line of credit in amounts that range from $45 million to $72 million
during each year of the loan term. The amounts available include direct
borrowings that range from $30 million to $52 million during each year of the
loan term. The balance of the credit line may be used for letters of credit. All
amounts available for borrowing are subject to borrowing base formulas and
overadvances specified in the agreement. There was $7.0 million outstanding at
April 30, 2000 and no loan balance outstanding at January 31, 2000 under this
agreement.

Notes payable also includes foreign notes payable by PT Balihides, the Company's
Indonesian subsidiary. The foreign notes payable represent maximum borrowings
under a line of credit of approximately $1.5 million with an Indonesian bank as
of April 30, 2000 and January 31, 1999.

In November 1999, the Company and Black Entertainment Television decided to
discontinue their BET Design Studio joint venture. BET Design Studio had an
asset-based credit facility with The CIT Group. Direct borrowings bore interest
at the prevailing prime rate plus 50 basis points. To support the requirement
for overadvances which occurred when the available collateral was not sufficient
to support the level of direct bank debt and letters of credit opened to pay for
product, both partners opened standby letters of credit in the amount of
$750,000 under which The CIT Group was the beneficiary. The loan ($1.2 million
at January 31, 2000) was paid off in its entirety on February 16, 2000 by
drawing down both partners' standby letters of credit (See Note 5).

Note 5--Nonrecurring Charges

In November 1999, the Company formulated a plan to cease operations of the BET
joint venture. The joint venture generated approximately $2.4 million and
$884,000 in revenues for the years ended January 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The Company incurred losses from the joint venture of
approximately $2 million, $1.4 million, and $450,000 for the years ended January
31, 2000, 1999, 1998, respectively. In connection with the plan, the Company
charged $1.6 million to unusual and non-recurring charges, consisting of $1.1
million in asset writedowns and $500,000 relating to the provision for closing
costs and various accrued expenses. The remaining nonrecurring balance
($303,000) relates to the reserve associated with the closure of the Company's
domestic factory that was completed by January 31, 1995. Based on current
estimates, management believes that existing accruals are adequate. Other
long-term liabilities include $213,000 and $227,000 of nonrecurring charges at
April 30, 2000 and January 31, 2000, respectively.

The status of the provision at the end of the period was:

Note 6--Comprehensive Income

As of February 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130). The adoption of
this Statement had no impact on the Company's net income or stockholders'
equity. This pronouncement sets forth requirements for disclosure of the
Company's comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive items.
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from
transactions in other events and circumstances unrelated to net income (e.g.,
foreign currency translation gains and losses). For the three month periods
ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, other comprehensive income was not material.

Note 7--Segments

The Company's reportable segments are business units that offer different
products and are managed separately. The Company operates in two segments,
licensed and non-licensed apparel. The following information is presented for
the fiscal years indicated below:

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

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning the Company's
business outlook or future economic performance; anticipated revenues, expenses
or other financial items; product introductions and plans and objectives related
thereto; and statements concerning assumptions made or expectations as to any
future events, conditions, performance or other matter, are "forward-looking
statements" as that term is defined under the Federal securities laws.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors
which could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in such
statements. Such risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited
to, reliance on foreign manufacturers, risks of doing business abroad, the
nature of the apparel industry, including changing consumer demand and tastes,
seasonality, customer acceptance of new products, the impact of competitive
products and pricing, dependence on existing management, general economic
conditions, as well as other risks detailed in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Traditionally, the three month period ending April 30 has been the quarter with
the lowest sales volume during the Company's fiscal year. Net sales for the
three months ended April 30, 2000 were $10.6 million compared to $8.5 million
for the same period last year. The increase in net sales during the quarter was
primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase in sales of licensed
merchandise.

Gross profit was $2.2 million, or 20.6% of net sales, for the three month period
ended April 30, 2000 compared to $833,000, or 9.8% of net sales, for the same
period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased due to
increased sales of higher margin licensed merchandise and improved margins on
shipments of both licensed and non-licensed merchandise.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.3 million for the three
month period ended April 30, 2000 compared to $6.9 million for the same period
last year. Last year's period included $1.1 million of expenses relating to the
BET Design Studio joint venture that was discontinued in November 1999.
Excluding the BET Design Studio expenses, the Company's selling, general and
administrative expenses increased approximately $500,000 over the prior year,
primarily as a result of higher personnel expenses.

Interest expense and finance charges for the three month period ended April 30,
2000 were $85,000 compared to $98,000 for the comparable period last year.

Income tax benefit of $1.7 million reflects an effective tax rate of 40% for the
three months ended April 30, 2000 compared to an income tax benefit of $2.3
million which reflected the same effective tax rate in the comparable period
last year.

As a result of the foregoing for the three months ended April 30, 2000, the
Company had a net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.38 per share, compared to a net
loss of $3.4 million, or $0.51 share, for the comparable period last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's loan agreement, which expires on May 31, 2002, provides for a
maximum line of credit in amounts that range from $45 million to $72 million
during each year of the loan term. The amounts available include direct
borrowings that range from $30 million to $52 million during each year of the
loan term. The balance of the credit line may be used for letters of credit. All
amounts available for borrowing are subject to borrowing base formulas and
overadvances specified in the agreement.

Direct borrowings bear interest at the agent's prime rate (9.5% as of June 1,
2000) or LIBOR plus 250 basis points (9.11% at June 1, 2000) at the election of
the Company. 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, 2000, direct borrowings were $7.0 million and
contingent liability under open letters of credit approximated $21.8 million.
The amount borrowed under the line of credit varies based upon the Company's
seasonal requirements.

In November 1999, the Company and Black Entertainment Television ("BET") decided
to discontinue their BET Design Studio joint venture. The joint venture was
started in February 1997 to provide a BET-branded clothing and accessory line.
As of April 30, 2000, BET and the Company had each contributed $3.8 million to
this joint venture.

BET Design Studio had an asset-based credit facility with The CIT Group. Direct
borrowings bore interest at the prevailing prime rate plus 50 basis points
(10.0% at April 1, 2000). To support the requirement for overadvances which
occurred when the available collateral was not sufficient to support the level
of direct bank debt and letters of credit opened to pay for product, both
partners opened standby letters of credit in the amount of $750,000 under which
The CIT Group was the beneficiary. The loan was paid off in its entirety on
February 16, 2000 by drawing down both partners' standby letters of credit.

BET advanced $600,000 to BET Design Studio under a lending agreement. Borrowings
under this agreement bore interest at 12.0% during the first twelve months of
the agreement and 14% thereafter. The loan was paid off in its entirety on March
9, 2000.

PT Balihides, the Company's Indonesian subsidiary, has a separate credit
facility with an Indonesian bank. The foreign notes payable represent maximum
borrowings under a line of credit of approximately $1.5 million as of April 30,
2000 and January 31, 2000.

On December 20, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to $1,000,000 worth of shares of the Company's common stock, from
time to time, until September 30, 2000, in open market purchases at market
prices or in privately negotiated transactions, at the discretion of the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. As of April 30, 2000, the Company had
purchased 244,817 of its shares at a total cost of $970,000 and concluded its
buyback program.

EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Derivatives

In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133 ("SFAS NO. 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," as amended by SFAS NO. 137, is effective with the first quarter of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 will require the
Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
Adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial statements.
