Report of Independent Auditors
Cygne Designs, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of CAT US Inc. and
C.A.T. (Far East) Limited and Subsidiary (subsidiaries of Cygne Designs, Inc.
("Cygne"), referred to hereafter as "CAT", and the AnnTaylor Woven Division of
Cygne, collectively the "Companies" at February 3, 1996 and January 28, 1995 and
the related combined statements of income and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of Companies at February
3, 1996 and January 28, 1995, and the combined results of their operations and
their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The combined financial statements include the accounts of CAT US Inc. and
C.A.T. (Far East) Limited and Subsidiary referred to hereafter as "CAT", and
Cygne Designs, Inc.'s ("Cygne") wholly-owned AnnTaylor Woven Division (the
"Division"), collectively the "Companies." The Companies are affiliated by
commonality of operations and ownership. CAT US Inc. was incorporated in
Delaware on May 11, 1992. C.A.T. (Far East) Limited was incorporated in Hong
Kong on March 10, 1992. CAT US Inc. and C.A.T. (Far East) Limited commenced
operations in June 1992. C.A.T. Italy S.r.l. was incorporated on July 26,
1994 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of C.A.T. (Far East) Limited. Cygne is
a 60% stockholder and AnnTaylor, Inc. ("AnnTaylor") is a 40% stockholder of
CAT. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
On April 8, 1996, AnnTaylor agreed in principle to acquire Cygne's 60% interest
in CAT and the net assets, as defined, of the Division. The accompanying
combined balance sheets at February 3, 1996 and January 28, 1995, and the
combined statements of operations and cash flows for the years then ended
reflect the Companies historical cost basis prior to the AnnTaylor acquisition.
Certain corporate expenses incurred by Cygne were allocated to the Division
including officers' and administrative salaries, occupancy costs, depreciation
and amortization, professional fees and other selling, general and
administrative expenses amounting to $449,000 and $2,316,000, $1,167,000 and
$730,000, $212,000 and $200,000, $343,000 and $117,000, and $5,806,000 and
$4,722,000, in fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994, respectively. Costs charged to the
Division for these services are allocated based on specific identification of
direct expenses, where applicable, or the Division's proportionate share of such
expenses. Interest expense, amounting to $1,088,000 and $707,000 for fiscal 1995
and fiscal 1994, respectively, was allocated at market rates to the Division for
intercompany indebtedness to Cygne. Management believes such expense allocations
are reasonable and proper.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Amounts transferred to/from Cygne in fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994 represent
Cygne's investment in and advances to the Division on a historical basis
adjusted for equity in operations and intercompany transactions. Expenses
allocated to the Division not settled become a permanent component of
Cygne's investment.
FISCAL YEAR
The Companies' fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31.
PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY
Pursuant to an agreement, CAT is engaged in the design, manufacturing and sale
of women's apparel exclusively to AnnTaylor. This agreement further provides
that AnnTaylor will pay to CAT the delivered cost for the apparel, plus a
commission and reimbursement of certain expenses, as defined. Either party may
terminate this agreement upon six months notice.
The Division's principal operation is to source woven merchandise for AnnTaylor.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of merchandise.

4. LEASES
The future minimum lease payments due (on a fiscal year basis) under a
noncancellable operating lease for office space in Hong Kong is $360,000 in
1996. The lease stipulates that fair market rent shall be paid from January 1997
through January 1999.
Total rent expense for fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994 was approximately $628,000
and $225,000, respectively. In addition, CAT was charged rent of approximately
$89,000 and $98,000, respectively, by Cygne under an office sharing arrangement
for these respective periods.
5. CREDIT FACILITIES
CAT has an agreement with a bank whereby the bank provides CAT with letters of
credit in an amount not to exceed $40,000,000, including loans against imports
up to $8,000,000 at an interest rate of 0.5% above the prime rate of 8.25% at
February 3, 1996. The facility is subject to periodic review by the bank. Open
letters of credit at February 3, 1996 amounted to approximately $27,925,000.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued)
5. CREDIT FACILITIES (CONTINUED)
The bank has a first lien over all of CAT's accounts receivable and inventory.
AnnTaylor has provided the bank with a $4,000,000 standby letter of credit.
Cygne has guaranteed 60% of the credit facility. In addition, 60% of CAT US
Inc.'s stock owned by Cygne has been pledged to the bank as collateral for CAT
US Inc.'s credit facility. The CAT (Far East) Limited stock owned by Cygne has
been pledged for the Cygne line of credit facility from the same bank.
CAT's facility is provided by the same bank that provides Cygne with its primary
working capital facility. At February 3, 1996, Cygne was not in compliance with
its credit agreement's working capital requirements, current ratio, leverage
ratio and tangible net worth financial covenants. The bank has permanently
waived all defaults under Cygne's credit agreement. In addition, on May 15,
1996, Cygne received a commitment letter from the bank to provide them with a
new credit facility to replace the existing facility.
Based on the agreement between AnnTaylor and CAT, AnnTaylor shall reimburse CAT
for any finance charges incurred by CAT in financing AnnTaylor merchandise
purchases. Finance charges reimbursable by AnnTaylor for fiscal 1995 and 1994,
amounted to approximately $627,000 and $ 541,000, respectively. Such amounts
were netted against amounts due to AnnTaylor.
The Companies also have equipment financing outstanding at February 3, 1996 and
January 28, 1995 of $1,173,000 and $366,000, respectively.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA COMBINED BALANCE SHEETS,
STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND NOTES THERETO
NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Unaudited Historical and Pro Forma Combined balance sheets, statements
of operations and the notes thereto are presented for illustrative purposes
only, giving effect to the acquisition of the Acquired Businesses by the Company
accounted for as a "Purchase", as such term is used under generally accepted
accounting principles. The Acquired Businesses' information includes the
acquisition by the Company of CAT and the Division.
Certain amounts reported in the Acquired Business' historical financial
information have been reclassified to conform with the Company presentations in
the Unaudited Historical and Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheets and Statements of
Operations.
The Unaudited Historical and Pro Forma balance sheets, statements of
operations and the notes thereto giving effect to the acquisition of the
Acquired Businesses by the Company have been prepared assuming the Company
elected to treat the transaction as a stock acquisition, which will provide
no step up in basis for income tax purposes.
NOTE 2--ACCOUNTING PERIOD
The pro forma periods for the quarter ended May 4, 1996 are the
historical financial reporting periods of both the Company and the Acquired
Businesses. The Company and the Acquired Businesses have historically reported a
13-or 14-week reporting period.
NOTE 3--PURCHASE PRICE DETERMINATION
The purchase price of $47.3 million was computed assuming (i) the issuance
of 1,800,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $20.00 per
share, (ii) cash consideration of $9.3 million, and (iii) the assumption of the
obligation to make payment to the president of CAT of approximately $2.0 million
becoming due under his existing employment agreement with CAT as a result of the
CAT/Cygne Transaction. The cash portion of the purchase price (including the
obligation to the president of CAT) will be provided by additional bank
borrowings, assumed to be approximately $11.3 million at 8% per annum. The
aggregate purchase price includes an amount payable to an executive of CAT
pursuant to his employment contract, which requires a payment to him based on
the value of the shares of CAT being transferred.
NOTE 4--PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The following items were recorded as adjustments to effect the combination
of the Company and the Acquired Businesses.
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
4(a) Adjustments recorded to reflect (i) the elimination of amounts due to/from the
Company and the Acquired Businesses, and (ii) the elimination of advances made to
the Division.
4(b) Adjustments to reduce the inventories of CAT and the Division to the current fair
value, and the elimination of advances made to the Division.
4(c) The elimination of the investment account on the Company's books for the 40%
interest in CAT.
4(d) Adjustment recorded to reflect the creation of goodwill representing the excess
of purchase price over net assets acquired which results in a $36.9 million
adjustment, based on management's estimate and without the performance of any due
diligence procedures. Accordingly, such estimate of goodwill is preliminary and
subject to change. At this time, the Company has not attributed any value to
intangible assets other than goodwill.

through additional bank borrowings.
4(g) Common stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings have been adjusted
to eliminate the equity balances of the Acquired Businesses and reflect the

shares of common stock of the Company at an assumed price of $20.00 per share.
4(h) To eliminate sales previously recorded by the Acquired Businesses against the
cost of sales previously recorded by the Company. Cost of sales is reduced by the

Businesses' historical financial information to interest expense, to conform with
the Company's presentations.

selling, general and administrative expenses. An adjustment has been recorded to
reclassify certain expenses, such as costs of design and procurement, to cost of
sales.

represents the excess of purchase price over net assets acquired. Such goodwill
will be amortized over a 25 year life.
4(l) The elimination of the equity in earnings of 40% of the net income of CAT by the
Company and the related income tax expense.
4(m) The income tax provision represents the assumed effective tax rate for the
Acquired Businesses assuming (i) approximately 50% of the Acquired Businesses'
income is foreign source and not subject to U.S. taxation until repatriation and
(ii) amortized goodwill is not deductible.
