Note 1 - General

In the  opinion  of Concord  Camera  Corp.  ("the  Company"),  the  accompanying
unaudited  financial  statements  contain  all  adjustments,   including  normal
recurring  adjustments,  necessary  for the fair  presentation  of the Company`s
financial position as of October 3, 1998, and the results of operations and cash
flows for the periods ended October 3, 1998 and September 30, 1997.

The  Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  which are  included  in the
Company's  1998 Form 10-K Annual  Report,  should be read with the  accompanying
financial statements.

In 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No.
128,  Earnings  per  Share  ("Statement   128").   Statement  128  replaced  the
calculation  of  primary  and  fully-diluted  earnings  per share with basic and
diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary  earnings per share,  basic earnings
per share  excludes any dilutive  effects of options,  warrants and  convertible
securities.  Diluted  earnings per share are  calculated  on a basis  similar to
fully-diluted earnings per share. All applicable earnings per share amounts have
been presented,  and where  necessary,  restated to conform to the Statement 128
requirements.

Item 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations

The quarter ended  October 3, 1998  compared to the quarter ended  September 30,
1997.

         Total revenues for the quarters ended October 3, 1998 and September 30,
1997 were approximately $31,024,000 and $19,806,000,  respectively,  an increase
of  approximately  $11,218,000 or 56.6%.  The increase in revenues for the first
quarters  of Fiscal  1999  over the  first  quarters  of  Fiscal  1998  resulted
principally  from  increases in sales to retail and OEM  customers,  including a
full quarters of production of the Company's  Advanced Photo System  traditional
cameras.

         Sales by Concord  Camera HK  Limited  ("Concord  HK") for the  quarters
ended October 3, 1998 and September 30, 1997 were approximately  $27,160,000 and
$15,836,000,  respectively,  an increase of approximately  $11,324,000 or 71.5%.
The  increase  is due  primarily  to the  increases  in sales to retail  and OEM
customers.  OEM sales for the quarters  ended  October 3, 1998 and September 30,
1997 were approximately $20,905,000 and $10,938,000,  respectively,  an increase
of  approximately  $9,967,000  or 91.1%.  Retail  sales for the  quarters  ended
October  3, 1998 and  September  30,  1997  were  approximately  $6,255,000  and
$4,898,000,  respectively,  an increase of  approximately  $1,357,000  or 27.7%.
These  increases  were due to increases in  traditional  and  single-use  camera
revenues by the Company's retail and OEM customers.

         Consolidated  sales of Concord  Americas for the quarters ended October
3, 1998 and September 30, 1997 were  approximately  $1,968,000  and  $2,501,000,
respectively,  a decrease of approximately  $533,000 or 21.3%.  This decrease in
sales was offset by an increase in sales to certain Concord  Americas  customers
on an F.O.B.  Hong Kong basis from Concord HK. During the quarters ended October
3,  1998  and  September  30,  1997,   Concord  Americas   customers   purchased
approximately  $3,803,000  and  $2,632,000,  respectively,  from  Concord HK, an
increase of  approximately  $1,171,000 or 44.5%.  If this increase were added to
the quarters ended October 3, 1998 American sales, sales of traditional  cameras
to Concord Americas customers would have increased by 12.4%.

         Consolidated  sales of Concord  Camera  Europe for the  quarters  ended
October 3, 1998 and  September  30,  1997,  were  approximately  $1,896,000  and
$1,469,000,  respectively,  an increase of  approximately  $427,000 or 29.1%. In
addition,  certain  European  customers  increased  merchandise  purchases on an
F.O.B.  Hong Kong basis from Concord HK.  During the quarters  ended  October 3,
1998  and  September  30,  1997,  European  customers  purchased   approximately
$2,440,000  and  $1,881,000,  respectively,  from  Concord  HK, an  increase  of
approximately  $559,000 or 29.7%.  If this  increase were added to the sales for
the quarters ended October 3, 1998,  European sales to European  customers would
have increased by 29.4%.

Gross Profit

         Gross profit,  expressed as a percentage  of sales,  increased to 27.2%
for the quarter ended October 3, 1998 from 26.7% for the quarter ended September
30, 1997. This increase was primarily the result of more favorable absorption of
manufacturing  overhead and labor utilization resulting from the increased sales
and manufacturing volume and efficiencies. At the same time, product development
costs associated with new products increased from $764,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 to $1,244,000 for the quarter ended October 3, 1998.

Expenses

     As a percentage of sales, operating expenses consisting of selling, general
and  administrative  and  financial  expenses  decreased to 18.2% in the quarter
ended  October 3, 1998 from  22.6% in the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997.
Operating
                                        6

expenses  increased  to  $5,655,000  in the quarter  ended  October 3, 1998 from
$4,481,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $1,174,000 or
26.2%.

         Selling  expenses  increased to  $2,393,000 or 7.7% of net sales in the
quarter  ended  October  3,  1998  from  $1,696,000  or 8.6% of net sales in the
quarter ended  September 30, 1997.  The increase was primarily  attributable  to
Company's   increased  sales  volume  and  increases  in  royalty  expenses  and
promotional  allowances  partially offset by the benefits from the consolidation
of warehouse facilities undertaken by the Company in Fiscal 1996.

         General and Administrative  expenses increased to $2,456,000 or 7.9% of
net sales in the quarter ended  October 3, 1998 from  $2,385,000 or 12.0% of net
sales in the quarter ended September 30, 1997.

         Financial  expenses  increased to $805,000 or 2.6% of net sales for the
quarter  ended October 3, 1998 from $398,000 or 2.0% of net sales in the quarter
ended September 30, 1997. Such increase was primarily a result of an increase in
average debt outstanding during the quarter ended October 3, 1998.

         Litigation and  settlement  costs in the quarters ended October 3, 1998
and September 30, 1997 were approximately $15,000 and $42,000,  respectively,  a
decrease of  approximately  $27,000.  The costs were incurred in connection with
non-operating  matters,  primarily the  arbitration  against Jack C. Benun,  the
Company's former chairman & ceo.


Other (Income) Expense, Net

         Other expense, net was approximately $86,000 in the quarter end October
3, 1998 versus $70,000 of other income,  net in the quarter ended  September 30,
1997.  Other (income)  expense,  net includes  directors'  fees,  certain public
relations costs, foreign exchange gains and losses and interest income.

Income Taxes

         The Company's  provision for income taxes for the quarter ended October
3, 1998 is  primarily  related to the  earnings  of the  Company's  Far East and
domestic  operations,  net of benefits relating to operating loss  carryforwards
and overpayments/refunds of the Company's other subsidiaries.


Net Income

         As a result of the matters  described above, the Company had net income
of  approximately  $ $2,458,000  or $0.21 per diluted share in the quarter ended
October 3, 1998 as compared to net income of $771,000 or $.07 per diluted  share
in the quarter ended  September 30, 1997.  The Company  achieved its profit plan
for the  first  quarter  and is in  line to  achieve  its  previously  announced
projected profit of $7 to $8 million or $0.58 to $0.66 per diluted share for the
current fiscal year.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At October 3, 1998,  the Company had working  capital of $33,114,000 as
compared to  $20,813,000  at June 30,  1998.  Cash flow  provided  by  operating
activities  was  approximately  $6,484,000 and $1,243,000 for the quarters ended
October 3, 1998 and September 30, 1997,  respectively.  Capital expenditures for
the quarters  ended October 3, 1998 and  September  30, 1997 were  approximately
$1,978,000  and  $851,000,   respectively.   The  Company's   principal  funding
requirement has been,

                                        7

and is  expected to continue to be, the  financing  of accounts  receivable  and
inventory.  Additionally, the combined United States operation is dependent upon
funding received from the foreign operations.

Senior  Notes  Payable.  On July 30,  1998,  the Company  consummated  a private
placement of $15 million of senior  notes.  The notes bear  interest at 11%, and
the maturity date is July 15, 2005.  Interest  payments are due  quarterly.  The
agreement  contains  certain  restrictive  covenants  relating  to,  among other
things,  incurrence  of additional  indebtedness  and dividend and other payment
restrictions affecting subsidiaries.

Mortgage  Payable.  On  April  9,  1998,  the  Company  entered  into a 15 month
$2,100,000  mortgage  loan  agreement  that  is  secured  by  the  Company-owned
manufacturing  facilities located in Baoan County,  Shenzhen Municipal,  PRC and
bears interest at 12.986%. The mortgage loan agreement requires monthly payments
of interest only and a balloon payment of $2,100,000 on July 9, 1999.

Non-Notification  Factoring with Recourse  Facility.  During the last quarter of
Fiscal 1998,  Concord HK  consummated a $10,000,000  Non-Notification  Factoring
with Recourse  Facility  (the  "Factoring  Facility")  that is guaranteed by the
Company,  is secured by certain accounts  receivables of the Company's Hong Kong
operations and bears interest at 1.5% above the prime lending rate. Availability
is subject to advance  formulas based on eligible  accounts  receivable  with no
minimum  borrowings.  The Company  utilized the  Factoring  Facility  during the
fourth quarter of Fiscal 1998 to replace a one-year $1,500,000  revolving credit
facility with a U.S.  bank.  At October 3, 1998,  approximately  $5,944,000  was
outstanding and classified as short-term debt.

U.S. Credit  Facility.  The Company has a $4,500,000  credit facility (the "U.S.
Credit  Facility")  which  expires on May 31,  1999 that is secured by  accounts
receivable,  inventory and other related  assets of the Company's  United States
operations  and bears  interest at 1.5% above the prime lending rate,  which was
8.5% at October 3, 1998.  Availability  is subject to advance  formulas based on
eligible inventory and accounts receivable with interest calculated on borrowing
of $1,500,000.  At October 3, 1998, approximately $1,502,000 was outstanding and
classified as short-term debt under the U.S. Credit Facility.

Hong  Kong  Credit  Facilities.  Concord  HK  has  credit  facilities  (the  "HK
Facilities")  that  provide  Concord HK with up to  $6,900,000  of  financing as
follows:  letters of credit and standby  letters of credit of up to  $2,825,000,
overdraft  and packing  loans of up to  $3,600,000  and an  installment  loan of
$475,000.  The  installment  loan was utilized in part to repay the  outstanding
mortgage  obligation  on the Hong Kong office  property.  As of October 3, 1998,
approximately  $2,014,000 was utilized  under the HK  Facilities.  Approximately
$1,406,000 of the total  $2,014,000  utilized was in the form of trade  finance,
including but not limited to import letters of credit. The HK Facilities,  which
are  payable on demand,  bear  interest at 2% above the prime  lending  rate for
letters of credit  and 2.25%  above the prime  lending  rate for  overdraft  and
packing loans. At October 3, 1998, the prime lending rate was 10%. In connection
with the HK Facilities, Concord HK has placed a $1,288,000 time deposit with the
lender which is included in prepaid and other current  assets at October 3, 1998
and such deposit is pledged as collateral  for the HK  Facilities.  In addition,
all amounts outstanding under the HK Facilities are guaranteed by Concord.

Canadian Working Capital Facility.  On November 25, 1996, the Company obtained a
$990,000 working capital facility (the "Canadian Facility") with a Canadian bank
which is secured by accounts  receivable,  inventory and other related assets of
the  Company's  Canadian  operations  and bears  interest  at 1% above the prime
lending rate, which was 7.5% at October 3, 1998. Availability under the Canadian
Facility is subject to advance  formulas based on eligible  accounts  receivable
and seasonal inventory  eligibility with no minimum borrowings and is subject to
monthly covenant  requirements.  At October 3, 1998,  approximately $211,000 was
outstanding and classified as short-term debt.

Other  Arrangements  and  Future  Cash  Commitments.  Management  believes  that
anticipated  cash flow from  operations  together with financing from the Senior
Notes  Payable,  the  Factoring  Facility,  the  U.S.  Credit  Facility,  the HK
Facilities,  and the  Canadian  Facility , or  replacement  facilities,  will be
sufficient to fund its operating cash needs for the foreseeable future.


Impact of Year 2000

The Year 2000  issue is the  result  of  computer-controlled  systems  using two
digits rather than four to define the  applicable  year.  For example,  computer
programs that have  time-sensitive  software may recognize a date ending in "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result in system failure
or  miscalculations  causing  disruptions of operations  including,  among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions,  send invoices, or engage
in similar normal business activities.

Based on an  assessment,  the  Company  determined  that it will be  required to
modify or replace portions of its software and hardware so that its systems will
function  properly  with respect to dates in the year 2000 and  thereafter.  The
Company  presently  believes that with  modifications  to existing  software and
conversions  to new  software  and  hardware,  the Year 2000 issue will not pose
significant operational problems for its systems. However, if such modifications
and conversions  are not made, or are not completed in timely fashion,  the Year
2000 problems could have a material impact on the operations of the Company.

The Company is continuing to contact all of its significant  suppliers and large
customers to determine the extent to which the Company's  interface  systems are
vulnerable  to those third  parties'  failure to  remediate  their own Year 2000
issues.  The  Company's  total Year 2000 project cost and  estimates to complete
include the estimated  costs and time  associated with the impact of third party
Year 2000 issues. Based on presently available information,  the Company's total
Year 2000  project  cost is  approximately  $100,000.  However,  there can be no
guarantee  that the systems of other  companies on which the  Company's  systems
rely will be converted  on a timely  basis and will not have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's systems.

The  Company is  actively  engaged  in  utilizing  both  internal  and  external
resources to reprogram,  or replace, and test its software and hardware for Year
2000  compliance.  The Company's  objective is to complete the Year 2000 project
not later than July 1,  1999,  which is prior to any  anticipated  impact on its
operating systems. The Fiscal 1999 cost of the Year 2000 project is not expected
to have a material effect on the results of operations.

The costs of the  project  and the date which the  Company  has  established  to
complete the Year 2000  modifications  are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing  numerous  assumptions of future events,  including
the continued availability of certain resources,  third party modification plans
and other factors.  However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will
be achieved and actual results could differ  materially from those  anticipated.
Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not
limited to, the  availability  and cost of personnel  trained in this area,  the
ability  to  locate  and  correct  all  relevant  computer  codes,  and  similar
uncertainties.


Forward-Looking Statements

     The statements  contained in this report that are not historical  facts are
"forward-looking  statements" (as such term is defined in the Private Securities
Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995)  which  can  be  identified  by  the  use  of
forward-looking  terminology such as;  "estimates,"  "projects,"  "anticipates,"
"expects,"  "intends,"  "believes," or the negative  thereof or other variations
thereon or comparable  terminology,  or by  discussions of strategy that involve
risks and uncertainties. The
                                       9

Company's actual results could differ  materially from those anticipated in such
forward-looking  statements.  Management wishes to caution the reader that these
forward-looking  statements,  such as statements  regarding  development  of the
Company's business,  the Company's  anticipated  capital  expenditures and other
statements  contained in this report  regarding  matters that are not historical
facts are only estimates or  predictions.  No assurance can be given that future
results will be achieved;  actual events for results may differ  materially as a
result  of risks  facing  the  Company  or  actual  results  differing  from the
assumptions underlying such statements.  In particular,  expected revenues could
be  adversely  affected  by  production   difficulties  or  economic  conditions
adversely affecting the market for the Company's products. To obtain the results
expected from the introduction of the Company's new products will require timely
completion of  development,  successful  ramp-up of  full-scale  production on a
timely  basis  and  customer  and  consumer  acceptance  of those  products.  In
addition,  the Company's OEM agreements  require an ability to meet high quality
and performance  standards,  successful  implementation of production at greatly
increased  volumes  and an ability to sustain  production  at greatly  increased
volumes  as to all of which  there  can be no  assurance.  There  also can be no
assurance that products under development will be successfully developed or that
once developed such products will be commercially successful.

Item 3.     QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company  operates on a worldwide  basis and its results may be  adversely or
positively  affected by fluctuations of various foreign  currencies  against the
U.S.  Dollar,  specifically,  the Canadian  Dollar,  German Mark,  British Pound
Sterling,  French  Francs,  and  Japanese  Yen.  Each of the  Company's  foreign
subsidiaries  purchases its inventories in U.S.  Dollars and sells them in local
currency,  thereby  creating  an exposure to  fluctuations  in foreign  currency
exchange rates.  Certain components needed to manufacture  cameras are purchased
in Japanese Yen. The impact of foreign exchange transactions is reflected in the
profit and loss statement.  The Company's hedging  activities are immaterial and
as of October 3, 1998, there were no forward-exchange contracts outstanding. The
Company  continues  to analyze the benefits  and costs  associated  with hedging
against foreign currency fluctuations.
