                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the
     Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly,
     they do not include all of the information and footnotes in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements
     and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
     included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     December 31, 1997. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
     financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a
     normal recurring nature, necessary for fair presentation of the Company's
     financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and
     for the periods presented.

     The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
     current period presentation.

2.   Inventories

     Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

                                      March 31, 1998        December 31, 1997
                                      --------------        -----------------

                                          =======                =======

3.   Short-Term Borrowings

     At March 31, 1998, the Company was contingently liable for letters of
     credit used to finance the purchase of inventory in the aggregate amount of
     $14.6 million. Such letters of credit expire at various dates through June
     1998. As of March 31, 1998, the Company was in violation of certain
     financial covenants associated with its primary domestic line of credit
     which have been waived by the bank.

4.   Private Placement

     In February 1998, the Company issued 975,610 shares of its common stock and
     a warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of its common stock in a private
     placement, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $10.0 million which
     will be used for general corporate purposes.

5.   Restructuring

     On February 13, 1998, the Company announced a plan to restructure its
     worldwide operations. The plan reflects the Company's strategy to focus on
     its core business in the promotional marketing industry. The Company
     intends to consolidate certain operating facilities, discontinue certain
     divisions of its apparel business and eliminate approximately 450 positions
     or 28% of its worldwide work force. The majority of the eliminated
     positions will affect the screen printing and embroidery business in
     Gloucester, Massachusetts. As of March 31, 1998, approximately 55% of
     anticipated employee terminations have occurred. In the first quarter of
     1998 the Company has recorded a charge to operations of $15.5 million
     primarily related to asset write-downs ($11.3 million), employee
     termination costs ($2.8 million), lease cancellations ($1.1 million) and
     other related exit costs ($.3 million). This charge has had the effect of
     reducing after tax earnings by $9.1 million or $0.64 per share. The Company
     anticipates the restructuring will be completed during 1998 and once
     completed is expected to yield annualized cost savings of $9 to $12
     million. A summary of activity in the restructuring accrual is as follows
     (in thousands):

6.   Income Taxes

     The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was 41% as
     compared to an effective tax rate of 60% for the year ended December 31,
     1997. The effective rate of 41% represents the estimated federal and state
     tax benefit expected to be realized as a result of the restructuring charge
     recorded in the current quarter.

7.   Litigation

     The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as
     defendants in a putative class action filed on October 18, 1995 in the
     United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ( Barry
     Hallet, Jr. v. Li & Fung, et al., Docket No. 95 Civ. 8917). On March 4,
     1998, with the assistance of a professional mediator, all parties to the
     litigation reached an agreement to settle the case. The settlement
     agreement has been preliminarily approved by the Federal District Court and
     notice of the settlement agreement has been distributed to all class
     members. A hearing on the final approval has been scheduled by the Court
     for June 26, 1998. The settlement agreement called for a cash contribution
     by the Company of $4.0 million into escrow on April 7, 1998; other parties
     and various insurance carriers have also contributed to the settlement. In
     the opinion of management, after consideration of amounts accrued, this
     settlement does not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
     financial condition or results of operations.

     basic and diluted EPS computation for "income (loss) available to common

9.   New Accounting Standards

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
     Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 specifies new
     guidelines for determining a company's operating segments and related
     requirements for disclosure. The Company is in the process of evaluating
     the impact of the new standard on the presentation of the financial
     statements and the disclosures therein. The Statement will become effective
     for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt
     the new standard for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.

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

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to the same period in the previous year. This discussion should be read
in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and
related Notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

From time to time, the Company may provide forward-looking information such as
forecasts of expected future performance or statements about the Company's plans
and objectives. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the
Company's expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
certain of which are beyond the Company's control. The Company wishes to caution
readers that actual results may differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company as a result of
factors described in the Company's Amended Cautionary Statement for Purposes of
the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, filed as Exhibit 99.3 to the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K
which is incorporated herein by reference.

GENERAL

The Company is a full-service, integrated provider of marketing and promotional
products and services. As such, the Company generates revenue from the sale of
promotional products and the development of marketing programs. The majority of
the Company's revenue is derived from the sale of promotional products to
consumer product companies seeking to promote their brand and build customer
loyalty.

Historically, the Company's business has been heavily concentrated with two
customers, Philip Morris Incorporated ("Philip Morris") and Pepsi-Cola Company
("Pepsi"). Purchases of promotional products by Philip Morris and Pepsi in 1997
accounted for 16% and 21% of net sales, respectively. Net sales to Philip Morris
and Pepsi accounted for 11% and 3%, respectively, of total net sales in the
first three months of 1998.

As a part of its continuing effort to diversify its customer base and broaden
its capability, the Company completed the acquisition of two providers of
promotional services and products during the second quarter of 1997. These
transactions were completed through mergers of these providers with and into
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. On April 7, 1997, the Company acquired
Tonkin, Inc. ("Tonkin"), a Monroe, Washington provider of custom promotional
programs and licensed promotional products. On June 9, 1997, the Company
acquired Simon Marketing, Inc. ("Simon"), a Los Angeles-based global marketing
and promotion agency and provider of custom promotional products. Simon's
business is heavily concentrated with McDonald's Corporation ("McDonald's"). Net
sales to McDonald's accounted for 36% of the Company's total net sales in 1997
and 58% of the Company's total net sales for the first quarter of 1998.

The Company's business with McDonald's, Philip Morris and Pepsi (as well as
other promotional customers) is based upon purchase orders placed from time to
time during the course of promotions. There are no written agreements which
commit them to make a certain level of purchases. The actual level of purchases
depends on a number of factors, including the duration of the promotion and
consumer redemption rates. Consequently, the Company's level of net sales is
difficult to predict accurately and can fluctuate greatly from quarter to
quarter. The Company expects that a significant percentage of its net sales in
1998 will be to McDonald's and Philip Morris. The Company's agreements with
Pepsi were terminated in December 1997 and the Company expects sales to Pepsi in
1998 to be minimal.

While the Company has been seeking new major promotional customers in an effort
to replace the 1997 Pepsi revenues of $117.1 million, it is very unlikely that
sales to new customers, or increased sales to existing customers, in 1998 will
materially reduce the revenue shortfall caused by the termination of the Pepsi
agreements. Therefore, while the restructuring described below will help
mitigate the impact of the loss of Pepsi revenues on 1998 earnings, the Company
expects to report operating losses for the balance of the year.

Philip Morris solicits competitive bids for its promotional programs. The
Company's profit margin depends, to a great extent, on its competitive position
when bidding and its ability to manage its costs after being awarded bids.
Increased competition is expected to continue and may adversely impact the
Company's profit margin on Philip Morris promotions in the future. Recent
negotiations between state attorneys general and certain tobacco companies,
including Philip Morris, as well as recent federal regulations, would result in
a ban on promotional programs relating to tobacco products and would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business with Philip Morris and its
results of operations.

<PAGE>   10

At March 31, 1998, the Company had written purchase orders for $301.9 million as
compared to $51.3 million at March 31, 1997. The comparative increase in the
Company's backlog is the result of the Simon and Tonkin acquisitions. The
Company's purchase orders are generally subject to cancellation with limited
penalty and are therefore not necessarily indicative of future revenues or
earnings.

CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING

On February 13, 1998, the Company announced a plan to restructure its worldwide
operations. The plan reflects the Company's strategy to focus on its core
business in the promotional marketing industry. The Company intends to
consolidate certain operating facilities, discontinue certain divisions of its
apparel business and eliminate approximately 450 positions or 28% of its
worldwide work force. The majority of the eliminated positions will affect the
screen printing and embroidery business in Gloucester, Massachusetts. In the
first quarter of 1998 the Company has recorded a charge to operations of $15.5
million for asset write-downs, employee termination costs, lease cancellations
and other related exit costs associated with the restructuring. The Company
anticipates the restructuring will be completed during 1998 and once completed
is expected to yield annulized cost savings of $9 to $12 million. See notes to
consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

Net sales increased $71.9 million, or 74%, to $169.1 million in the first
quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $97.2 million in the first quarter of 1997.
The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to revenues associated with
Simon and Tonkin. Promotional product sales in the first quarter of 1998 totaled
$163.4 million, or an increase of 89%, as compared to $86.6 million in the first
quarter of 1997. Net sales related to the Company's private label and Cyrk brand
business in the first quarter of 1998 totaled $5.8 million, or a decrease of
46%, as compared to $10.6 million in the first quarter of 1997. This comparative
decrease in sales of the Company's private label and Cyrk brand business is a
direct result of the Company's strategy to focus on its core business in the
promotional marketing industry.

Gross profit increased $13.4 million, or 80%, to $30.3 million in the first
quarter of 1998 from $16.9 million in the first quarter of 1997. As a percentage
of net sales, the first quarter gross profit increased to 17.9% in 1998 from
17.4% in 1997. This increase was due principally to more favorable margins
associated with the Company's diversified customer base and the increased sales
mix in the promotional industry segments characterized by higher gross margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $31.1 million at March 31,
1998 as compared to $11.3 million in the first quarter of 1997. As a percentage
of net sales, selling, general and administrative costs totaled 18.4% as
compared to 11.6% in the first quarter of 1997. The Company's increased spending
was primarily attributable to its expanded global sales and operations.

In connection with its February 1998 announcement to restructure worldwide
operations, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $15.5 million
attributable to asset write-downs, employee termination costs, lease
cancellations and other related exit costs. See notes to consolidated financial
statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital at March 31, 1998 was $63.7 million compared to $61.3 million at
December 31, 1997. The primary sources of cash provided by operations were
principally related to a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in
accrued expenses (of which $13.9 million is related to the first quarter
restructuring charge) totaling $35.3 million, which was partially offset by an
increase in inventory of $25.8 million. Trade accounts receivable declined to
$87.3 million at March 31, 1998 from $95.4 million at December 31, 1997,
primarily as a result of reduced sales in the first quarter of 1998 compared to
the fourth quarter of 1997. The increase in inventories was primarily due to a
higher level of inventory purchases related to promotional customer orders.

Net cash used in investing activities was $.7 million, which was primarily
attributable to $1.5 million for purchases of property and equipment, which were
partially offset by $.7 of repayments of advances from an affiliate. In the
first quarter of 1997, net cash used by investing activities was $.2 million,
which included $1.1 million for additions to property and equipment, which was
partially offset by $.7 million of net sales of investments.



                                      10



<PAGE>   11
The Company expects to make cash payments of approximately $4.0 million for
employee termination costs, lease buyouts and other exit costs associated with
its plan to restructure its operations.

In February 1998, the Company issued 975,610 shares of its common stock and a
warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of its common stock in a private
placement, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $10.0 million which will
be used for general corporate purposes.

Since inception, the Company has financed its working capital and capital
expenditure requirements through cash generated from operations, public sales of
common stock, bank borrowings and capital equipment leases. Such cash
requirements for 1997 were provided principally by operating activities, and
principally by financing and operating activities for 1998 to date.

The Company currently has available several worldwide bank letters of credit and
revolving credit facilities which expire at various dates beginning in May
1998. As of March 31, 1998, based on the borrowing base formulas prescribed by
these credit facilities, the Company's borrowing capacity was $104.2 million, of
which $24.8 million of short-term borrowings and $15.1 million in letters of
credit were outstanding. Borrowings under these facilities are collateralized by
all assets of the Company.

OUTLOOK: ISSUES AND UNCERTAINTIES

Management believes that the Company's existing cash position, credit
facilities, and its ability to obtain additional financing, combined with
internally generated cash flow, as well as the anticipated proceeds in the
second half of the year from the sale of an equity investment, will satisfy 
its liquidity and capital needs through the end of 1998. However, the likelihood
of operating losses for the balance of the year will exert increasing pressure
on its existing cash position. In the event of sustained operating losses, the
Company will incur increasing difficulty in renewing existing credit facilities,
or obtaining additional financing. The Company may seek additional equity
financing during the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that
such financing will be available on acceptable terms, and any additional equity
financing could result in additional dilution to existing investors.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants
in a putative class action filed on October 18, 1995 in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York ( BARRY HALLET, JR. v. LI &
FUNG, et al., Docket No. 95 Civ. 8917). On March 4, 1998, with the assistance of
a professional mediator, all parties to the litigation reached an agreement to
settle the case. The settlement agreement has been preliminarily approved by the
Federal District Court and notice of the settlement agreement has been
distributed to all class members. A hearing on the final approval has been
scheduled by the Court for June 26, 1998. The settlement agreement called for a
cash contribution by the Company of $4.0 million into escrow on April 7, 1998;
other parties and various insurance carriers have also contributed to the
settlement. In the opinion of management, after consideration of amounts
accrued, this settlement does not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.
