footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, although management of the Company believes that the
disclosures contained in these financial statements are adequate to make the

</TABLE>

SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1996

    Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 1997 were $1,667,000 as
compared to $1,611,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represented an
increase of 3.4% in net sales for the period.  The increase was mainly due to a
reduction in the Company's reserve for future chargebacks.

    Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to (15.0)% for the six
months ended September 30, 1997 from 37.9% for the six months ended September
30, 1996.  The decrease was due to the suspension of the Company's operations
and the sale of inventory at below cost.

    Operating expenses consisting of selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased by $574,000 or 35.9% to $1,023,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1997 from $1,597,000 in


                                          7
<PAGE>

the same period in 1996.  The decrease in S, G & A was primarily due to
reductions in payroll, insurance, depreciation, legal and professional expenses
and sales-related expenses.

    Interest expense decreased from $102,000 for the six months ended September
30, 1996 to $60,000 for the comparable period in 1996 due to a reduction in
borrowings from the factor (SEE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES).


THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1996

    Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were $268,000 as
compared to $581,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represented a decrease
of $313,000 or 53.8% in net sales for the period primarily due to the reasons
stated in the discussion of the six-month period.

    Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 51.5% for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from 10.5% for the three months ended September
30, 1996.  The increase was primarily due to the reasons stated in the
discussion of the six-month period.

    Operating expenses comprised of selling, general and administrative
expenses ("S, G & A") decreased by $616,000 to $311,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from $927,000 in the same period in 1996 principally
due to the reasons stated above in the discussion of the six-month period.

    Interest expenses decreased by $13,000 from $28,000 to $15,000 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1997 due to decreased working capital
requirements and borrowing from the Company's factor.  (SEE LIQUIDITY AND
CAPITAL RESOURCES).


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

    On June 4, 1996, control of the Company changed when approximately 50% of
the Company's outstanding stock was acquired by Guy Anthome.

    The Company entered into a new factoring agreement with Republic Factors
and a letter of credit facility with Republic National Bank of New York on May
15, 1995 (the financing bank) effective through March 1998.  Both the old and
new agreements are non-recourse (i.e., the factor purchases the Company's
accounts receivable that it has preapproved, without recourse, except in cases
where there are merchandise disputes in the normal course of business).

    Under the new factoring agreement, the Company sells substantially all of
its trade accounts receivable, without recourse, and may request advances up to
80% on the net sales factored at any time before their maturity date. The factor
is responsible for the accounting and collection of all accounts receivable sold
to it by the Company and receives a commission of 0.9% of purchased net
receivables.

    The agreements are collateralized by accounts receivable and assets of the
Company.  The Company or the factor may terminate the credit agreement on the
anniversary date of the agreement with at least 60 days prior written notice.

    As of September 30, 1997, the Company had a net working capital deficit of
$3,799,000, as compared to a deficit of $1,237,000 as of September 30, 1996.
The Company's current ratio as of September 30, 1997 was 0.06, as compared to
0.56 as of September 30, 1996.  The decreases in working capital and current
ratio are primarily due to continued operating losses.


                                          8
<PAGE>

    Inventories at September 30, 1997 were nil as compared to $644,000 at
September 30, 1996, a decrease of $644,000.  The decrease was due to the
suspension of the Company's operations.

    In June 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Imperial Bank
which provided the Company with a $1,200,000 credit facility at an interest rate
of 9.75% secured by a letter of credit provided by an unaffiliated third party.
This credit facility was paid in June 1997 and extinguished following the
negotiation of the referenced letter of credit. The Company and the unaffiliated
third party are currently negotiating the terms of a replacement obligation.

    The Company filed for and received, on November 20, 1996, a federal income
tax refund of $971,000. The Company was recently notified by the Internal
Revenue Service that the Company's net operating loss carryback claim for fiscal
1996 has been denied. The Company will appeal the decision, and  has, pending
the outcome of the appeal, fully reserved the refund amount.

    In July 1997, the Company exhausted its available working capital, credit
lines with its Factor and trade credit. The Company temporarily suspended its
operations pending receipt of an infusion of equity capital or third party
credit. The Company continues it's efforts to secure financing.

    The Company has suspended its operations, continued to cut its payroll and
reduce its operating costs.  The Company anticipates that it will not be
profitable for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1998.
