Candie's, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

July 31, 1998


NOTE A  --  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they  do not  include  all the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the three and six month periods ended July
31, 1998 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for
a full fiscal year.

For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated  financial  statements and
footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended January 31, 1998.


NOTE B --  MERGER

The  Company  began to license  the use of the  CANDIE'S(R)  trademark  from New
Retail Concepts, Inc. ("NRC") in June 1991 and in March 1993 purchased ownership
of the  CANDIE'S(R)  trademark  from  NRC  together  with  certain  pre-existing
licenses  of NRC,  a then  publicly  traded  company  engaged  primarily  in the
licensing and sublicensing of fashion  trademarks and a significant  shareholder
of the Company. NRC's principal shareholder was also the Company's President and
Chief Executive Officer.

Effective August 18, 1998, the Company completed its previously announced merger
with NRC. Each issued and  outstanding  share of NRC common stock $.01 par value
(the "NRC Common  Stock"),  and each issued and  outstanding  option to purchase
shares  of NRC  Common  Stock,  prior to the  effective  date,  were  converted,
respectively,  into 0.405 shares of common stock, $.001 par value of the Company
(the  "Candie's  Common  Stock"),  and into options to purchase  0.405 shares of
common stock, respectively.

At the effective  date,  there were 5,743,639  outstanding  shares of NRC Common
Stock and  options  to  purchase  1,585,000  shares  of NRC  Common  Stock.  The
5,743,639 shares were converted to 2,326,173 shares of Candie's Common Stock and
the 1,585,000  options were converted into options to purchase 641,925 shares of
Candie's Common Stock.  NRC also owned 1,227,696 shares of Candie's Common Stock
and had  options  and  warrants to  purchase  an  additional  800,000  shares of
Candie's Common Stock, all of which were  extinguished  upon consummation of the
merger.


NOTE C --  FINANCING AGREEMENTS

On May 27, 1998,  the Company  entered  into a three year $35 million  revolving
credit  facility  (the  "Facility").  Under  certain  conditions,  including the
addition  of a second  lender,  the  Facility  may  increase to a maximum of $50
million.  On August 4, 1998,  BankBoston,  N.A.  ("BankBoston")  entered  into a
co-lending arrangement and became a participant in the revolving credit facility
with NationsBanc Commercial Corporation ("NationsBanc").

Borrowings  under the Facility  currently bear interest at 1.75% below the prime
rate (8 1/2% at July 31,  1998) and the Company also has the option to borrow at
either LIBOR plus 1.25% or the banker's acceptance rate plus 1%. These rates are
fixed and  subject  to an  increase  or  decrease  based on  certain  conditions
beginning in November  1998.  The Company  pays a commitment  fee of 1/4% on the
unused portion of the Facility.

NOTE C --  FINANCING AGREEMENTS (continued)

Borrowings  under the Facility are formula based and available up to the maximum
amount of the Facility.  The facility also contains certain financial  covenants
including,  minimum  tangible  net  worth,  certain  specified  ratios and other
limitations,  as defined therein. The Company has granted the lenders a security
interest in substantially all of its assets.

Simultaneously  with  the  above,  the  Company  entered  into  a new  factoring
agreement  whereby the Company has the option to sell any or all of its accounts
receivable,  principally  without  recourse,  subject to maximum  credit  limits
established by the lender for individual accounts.  Receivables assigned but not
sold to the lender or in excess of such  maximum  credit  limits are  subject to
recourse.


NOTE D --  EARNINGS PER SHARE

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share" SFAS No. 128,  which  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 is very similar to the  previously  reported  fully  diluted  earnings per
share. Earnings per share amounts and weighted average shares for 1997 have been
restated in accordance with the SFAS No. 128 requirements.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominators of the basic
and diluted EPS computations and other related disclosures  required by SFAS No.

NOTE D -- EARNINGS PER SHARE (continued)

For the three and six months  periods ended July 31, 1998 and 1997,  outstanding
options and warrants to purchase  145,000 and 2,307,000  shares of common stock,
respectively,  at exercise  prices  exceeding  the average  market  price of the
common stock were not included in the computation of diluted  earnings per share
as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.


NOTE E --  SUBSEQUENT EVENT - PROPOSED ACQUISITION

Effective  August 7, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement in principle to
acquire  Michael Caruso & Co., Inc.  ("Caruso"),  owner and marketer of BONGO(R)
branded jeanswear and apparel products, in exchange for shares of Candie's, Inc.
common  stock.  Under the terms of the  agreement,  the Company will acquire the
BONGO(R) and  trademark  as well as certain  other  trademarks  and the existing
license  agreements for kids' and large size jeanswear.  The parties  anticipate
that the transaction will be consummated in September 1998.


NOTE F  -- RESTATEMENT

During the course of the audit of the  Company's  financial  statements  for the
year ended January 31, 1999,  and the re-audit of the financial  statements  for
the year ended January 31, 1998,  the Company  became aware of certain  required
adjustments  primarily  in inventory  valuation,  accounts  receivable/due  from
factor  balances as of July 31, 1998.  The financial  statements for the quarter
ended  July 31,  1998  have been  restated  to  reflect  these  adjustments,  as
summarized below:

MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS


     Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The statements  which are not historical facts contained in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q are  forward  looking  statements  that  involve a number of
known and  unknown  risks,  uncertainties  and other  factors,  all of which are
difficult or  impossible  to predict and many of which are beyond the control of
the Company, which may cause the actual results,  performance or achievements of
the Company to be materially  different from any future results,  performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.

Such factors include,  but are not limited to, uncertainty  regarding  continued
market  acceptance of current  products and the ability to successfully  develop
and market  new  products  particularly  in light of  rapidly  changing  fashion
trends,  the  impact of supply and  manufacturing  constraints  or  difficulties
particularly  in light of the  Company's  dependence  on foreign  manufacturers,
uncertainties   relating  to  customer  plans  and   commitments,   competition,
uncertainties  relating  to  economic  conditions  in the  markets  in which the
Company operates,  the ability to hire and retain key personnel,  the ability to
obtain  additional  capital if required,  the risks of  uncertainty of trademark
protection and other risks  detailed  below and in the Company's  Securities and
Exchange  Commission  filings,  and the uncertainty  regarding the timing of the
proposed  acquisition  of  Michael  Caruso  &  Co.,  Inc.  and  the  ability  to
successfully integrate its operations into the Company's operations.

The words "believe", "expect",  "anticipate", and "seek" and similar expressions
identify  forward-looking  statements.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these  forward-looking  statements,  which speak only as of the date
the statement was made.


Results of Operations (Restated)

     Revenues. Net revenues increased by $8.7 million or 29% to $38.4 million in
the three  months  ended July 31,  1998,  from $29.7  million in the  comparable
period of the prior year.  Net revenues  increased by $15.1  million or 32.5% to
$61.7  million in the six months ended July 31, 1998,  from $46.5 million in the
same period in 1997. The increase was primarily due to increased brand awareness
and consumer acceptance of the Company's products due to the Company's increased
sales  and  marketing  efforts  coupled  with  increased  sales  in all  product
categories,  the successful introduction of children's footwear products and, in
part, increased selling prices.

     Gross Profit.  Gross profit margins  increased to 25.4% in the three months
ended July 31, 1998 from 22.3% in the comparable period of the prior year. Gross
profit  margins  increased  to 25.9% in the six months  ended July 31, 1998 from
25.2% in the same period in 1997.  The increase was  primarily  attributable  to
changes in product mix.

     Operating Expenses.  Selling and administrative  expenses increased by $2.9
million or 68% to $7.2 million in the three months ended July 31, 1998 from $4.3
million in the  comparable  period of the prior  year.  As a  percentage  of net
revenues,  selling and  administrative  expenses increased 4.4% to 18.7% for the
three  months  ended July 31, 1998 from 14.3% for the  comparable  period of the
prior year. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $4.8 million or 63%
to $12.5  million in the six months ended July 31, 1998 from $7.7 million in the
comparable  period of the prior year. As a percentage  of net revenues,  selling
and  administrative  expenses  increased  3.8% to 20.3% for the six months ended
July 31,  1998 from 16.5% for the  comparable  period of the prior  year.  These
increases  reflect costs which are directly  associated with the increase in net
revenues,  coupled  with  the  costs  incurred  in  implementing  the  Company's
strategic plan to strengthen its management team and  infrastructure,  which the
Company believes has created the foundation for future growth.

MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS - Continued


     Interest  Expense.  Interest  expense for the second quarter of fiscal 1999
was  $223,000,  compared  to  $254,000  for the second  quarter of fiscal  1998.
Interest  expense for the six months ended July 31, 1998 was $497,000,  compared
to  $528,000  for the  comparable  period in the  previous  year.  The  decrease
resulted from lower  average  borrowings  and to a lesser extent lower  interest
rates under the Company's new revolving credit facility.

     Net  Income.  As a  result  of  the  foregoing,  net  income  decreased  to
$1,429,000  in the three months  ended July 31, 1998,  compared to net income of
$2,195,000  in the  corresponding  period a year ago.  Net income  decreased  to
$1,811,000  for the six months  ended July 31,  1998,  compared to net income of
$3,018,000 for the same period in 1997.

     Earnings  Per Share.  Earnings per share in the three months ended July 31,
1998 was $.09 on a diluted  basis,  which  reflects  an  additional  3.2 million
weighted average shares  outstanding,  compared to $.17 per diluted share in the
comparable quarter of the prior year. Earnings per share in the six months ended
July 31, 1998 was $.11 on a diluted  basis,  which  reflects an  additional  3.3
million weighted average shares outstanding,  compared to $.23 per diluted share
in the same period in 1997.  The prior year's  computation of earnings per share
has been restated to comply with the  requirements of SFAS No. 128. The increase
in the weighted  average shares  outstanding  for the 1998 periods was primarily
the result of the  exercise of  approximately  1.7 million  warrants and options
since the beginning of fiscal 1999.


Liquidity and Capital Resources (Restated)

Working capital  increased  approximately  $8.2 million to $23.3 million at July
31, 1998 from $15.1  million at January 31, 1998.  The current ratio at July 31,
1998 was  approximately 1.7 to 1. Inventory levels at July 31, 1998 increased by
$800,000 to $18.5 million from $17.7 million at January 31, 1998.

The  Company  has relied in the past  primarily  upon  revenues  generated  from
operations,  borrowings  from its factor and sales of  securities to finance its
liquidity and capital needs. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $30.0
million for the six months ended July 31, 1998, compared to $7.2 million for the
six months ended July 31, 1997.

Capital  expenditures  were  $349,000  for the six months  ended July 31,  1998,
compared to $42,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1997.

During the six month  period ended July 31, 1998 (up to and  including  February
23,  1998),  substantially  all of the  Company's  outstanding  Class C warrants
("Warrants")  were  exercised  and the Company  received  aggregate  proceeds of
approximately  $7.16  million from the exercise of such  Warrants.  The proceeds
were used to repay  short-term  borrowings.  Each  Warrant  entitled  the holder
thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00.  In
addition,  the Company  received  proceeds  of  approximately  $1.12  million in
connection  with the  issuance  of common  stock  relating  to the  exercise  of
outstanding stock options and certain underwriters' warrants.

On May 27, 1998,  the Company  entered  into a three year $35 million  revolving
credit  facility  (the  "Facility").  Under  certain  conditions,  including the
addition  of a second  lender,  the  Facility  may  increase to a maximum of $50
million.  On August 4, 1998,  BankBoston,  N.A.  ("BankBoston")  entered  into a
co-lending arrangement and became a participant in the revolving credit facility
with NationsBanc Commercial Corporation ("NationsBanc").

Borrowings  under the Facility  currently bear interest at 1.75% below the prime
rate (8 1/2% at July 31,  1998) and the Company also has the option to borrow at
either LIBOR plus 1.25% or the banker's acceptance rate plus 1%. These rates are
fixed and  subject  to an  increase  or  decrease  based on  certain  conditions
beginning in November  1998.  The Company  pays a commitment  fee of 1/4% on the
unused portion of the Facility.

MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS - Continued


Borrowings  under the Facility are formula based and available up to the maximum
amount of the Facility.  The facility also contains certain financial  covenants
including,  minimum  tangible  net  worth,  certain  specified  ratios and other
limitations,  as defined therein. The Company has granted the lenders a security
interest in substantially all of its assets.

Cash  requirements  fluctuate  from time to time due to  seasonal  requirements,
including the timing of receipt of merchandise  and various other  factors.  The
Company  believes that it will be able to satisfy its ongoing cash  requirements
for the foreseeable future, including requirements for its expansion,  primarily
with cash flow from operations, supplemented by borrowings under the Facility.


Year 2000 Issues

The Company has assessed the issues associated with its existing computer system
with respect to a two-digit year value as the year 2000 approaches and is in the
process of implementing a new computer  system which it believes  addresses such
issues.  The Company also believes that  implementation  of this system is not a
material event or uncertainty  that would cause expected  financial  information
not to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

Concurrently  with the development and  implementation  of plans to resolve Year
2000 issues relating to the Company's systems and software,  the Company is also
reviewing  the  possible  impact of the Year 2000 problem on its  customers  and
suppliers. The Company has not completed its assessment of its exposure to risks
relating to the Year 2000 issues of third  parties  with which it has a material
relationship.

PART II.  Other Information

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

          The  Company is party to  certain  litigation  incurred  in the normal
          course  of  business.   While  any   litigation   has  an  element  of
          uncertainty,  the Company  believes  that the final  outcome of any of
          these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
          financial position or future liquidity.
