PART I
Ocean Optique Distributors, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in May 1988 under
the laws of the State of Florida. The address of its principal place of
business is 14250 S.W. 119th Avenue, Miami, Florida and its telephone number is
(305) 255-3272. References to the Company include the Company's wholly owned
subsidiaries, Classic Optical, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("Classic"), and
European Manufacturers Agency, a Florida corporation ("EMA"), unless the
context indicates otherwise.
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company is engaged in importing, marketing and distributing
high-quality ophthalmic (or eyeglass) frames and sunglasses in the mid- and
premium-priced categories. The Company's products, which are currently
manufactured in Europe and the Far East, include more than 400 styles in metal
or plastic in an array of colors and sizes. As described below, the Company is
the exclusive or non-exclusive licensee (with respect to eyewear) of several
well-recognized labels, including Revlon, Crayola, Gitano, J.H. Collectibles,
Chevrolet and Jacques Fath. See "Item 6, Management's Discussion and Analysis
or Plan of Operation."
Industry Overview
The Company believes that the United States market for eyeglass frames
is divisible into three price categories: low priced frames selling at retail
prices below $40; mid-priced frames retailing at prices ranging from $40 to
$160; and high- or premium-priced frames retailing at over $160. Based on the
most recent industry statistics available to it, the Company believes that the
mid-priced category is the largest of these segments. The Company believes
that the U.S. retail optical market has grown from approximately $9.4 billion
in 1987 to approximately $12.9 billion in 1994. The Company believes that the
average eyeglass sale (including frame and lenses) at retail has increased
from $126.66 in 1991 to $135.86 in 1995. The Company believes that the U.S.
plano sunglass market grew from approximately $1.9 billion in 1990 to
approximately $2.2 billion in 1994.
Most of the mid- and premium-priced eyeglass frames purchased at retail
in the United States are sold through independent dispensing opticians, although
optical chains, optical superstores and health maintenance organizations
("HMO's") account for a gradually increasing market share. The Company
believes that in 1994 the U.S. market's total retail eyewear sales were
distributed as follows: independent professionals collectively accounted for
approximately 61% of the $12.9 billion total; chains accounted for
approximately 34%; and HMO's accounted for approximately 5%. Independent
opticians typically maintain a small frame inventory and, accordingly, must
place frequent orders with distributors in response to sales. While the larger
retail optical chains and optical superstores generally maintain somewhat
larger frame inventories, their greater volume of sales per store requires them
to place frequent orders against actual sales in order to maintain frame
selection availability. Distributors of eyeglass frames, consequently, must
maintain substantial inventories of the product in order to provide prompt
shipment.
The Company believes that the fastest growing sunglass market segments
are represented by the premium-priced and medium-priced sunglasses, which are
sold at retail primarily by department stores and by specialty boutiques and
independent dispensing opticians located in shopping malls.

The Company's Product Lines
The Company is currently the exclusive or non-exclusive licensee of a
number of high-profile labels under which it designs and markets, or is in the
process of developing products to be marketed, including: Revlon (exclusive in
the United States and Canada); Crayola (exclusive in the United States, Canada,
Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean); J.H. Collectibles
(exclusive worldwide, except Japan); Chevrolet (United States, Canada and
Brazil, on non-exclusive basis); Gitano (non-exclusive licensee in the United
States, Puerto Rico, and Canada); and Jacques Fath (exclusive in the United
States). For a further discussion of the status of these license agreements,
see "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation."
In addition, products are produced and marketed under the "Ocean" label,
which the Company believes has developed recognition in the market place.
Also, with the addition of EMA (see "Recent Acquisitions," below), the Company
is now a distributor of private label product sold to retailers.
The Company designs the products it markets with the approval of the
licensors where applicable, stressing styles with popular, broad-based appeal
and durability. The Company believes that its products are of the highest
quality in their price categories. The Company intends to expand its line of
products marketed under well-known labels or "superbrands," as attractive
opportunities to acquire licenses are presented.
Sales and Marketing
The Company's sales efforts are made directly by its officers and
currently by six independent manufacturers' representatives who do not sell
competing products and are compensated on a commission basis. Classic, which
sells directly to independent opticians, optometrists and ophthalmologists, as
well as to certain chain stores, uses approximately 25 commissioned sales
representatives, who may also carry non-competing lines. EMA's sales efforts
are made directly by its officers and one independent representative.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the Company had two customers
whose net sales represented 15% and 13% of the Company's total net sales for
the year. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company's
sales in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
Prior to the acquisition of Classic in October 1992 (see "Recent
Acquisitions," below), the number of the Company's customers had shown a steady
growth: from 147 customers in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1990, to 405 in
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1992. This increase generally was a result of
an increase in the number of independent representatives who sell the Company's
products. As a result of the acquisition of Classic, and its direct method of
distribution to independent opticians, optometrists, and ophthalmologists, the
Company's active customers numbered more than 4,000 throughout the United
States and Canada at the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994. With the acquisition
of EMA in June of 1995, the Company's customer base has increased to more than
4,200 at the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
To date, the Company's marketing and promotional efforts have been
limited. Advertising expenses for the years ended June 30, 1996, and 1995
amounted to 3% and 7% of net sales, respectively. The Company currently
intends to exhibit its products at three national trade shows annually. The
Company has decided to limit its exhibitions at certain regional trade shows in
order to control costs.
<PAGE> 4
The Company is aware that desirable product lines and styling, and
durable products, will not be sufficient to fully capitalize on what management
believes to be the Company's strengths. The Company has hired a product design
professional (Ms. Debra James), who has many years experience and has already
added several new designs to the line. To a large extent, the future success
of the Company will depend on enhanced promotional efforts led by a marketing
team. The Company intends to commit future resources, as available, to
national marketing programs and to increasing the name recognition of the
Company's licensed and proprietary names. There can be no assurances, however,
that the Company will have adequate available resources to accomplish that
goal.
Sources of Supply
Management believes that much of the allure of the Company's products
is a consequence of the manufacturers chosen by the Company. In excess of 35%
of the ophthalmic frames are currently manufactured by Societe' Francaise de
Lunetterie ("SFL"), a principal shareholder of the Company, located in France,
and the remainder of its ophthalmic frames are manufactured by a number of
vendors in Europe and the Far East. D'Arrigo Moda Italia is EMA's major
supplier located in Italy. The Company believes that it currently enjoys a
strong relationship with its vendors, and does not anticipate the loss of any
material supplier in the near future. In the unlikely event the Company is
unable to procure its products from certain present suppliers, the Company
believes its business will not be adversely affected, due to adequate
alternative sources of product supply. For further discussion, see "Item 5.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" and "Item 12. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions."
Recent Acquisitions
In October 1992, the Company acquired one hundred percent of the
outstanding capital stock of Classic. As a result of the acquisition, the
Company's method of distribution was expanded to include direct sales to
independent optical retailers, as well as markets not previously served by the
Company. In addition, the Company acquired certain licenses to well-recognized
labels.
On June 21, 1995, the Company acquired one hundred percent of the
outstanding capital stock of EMA. As a result of the acquisition, the
Company's present method of distribution was expanded to include markets not
previously serviced by the Company, primarily private label products for
retailers, which is EMA's forte. EMA also brings additional experienced
management to the Company. Also as a result of the EMA acquisition, D'Arrigo
Moda Italia, EMA's major supplier located in Italy, has become a principal
shareholder of convertible preferred stock in the Company.
The EMA acquisition agreement provides for the escrow of 500,000 of the
533,333 total shares of the Company's Common Stock issued in exchange for the
EMA shares, with a portion of such escrowed shares to be released to the former
EMA shareholders, Robert D. Winn and Mary S. Winn, on each of the first,
second, third and fourth anniversaries of the acquisition date. In June 1996,
125,000 shares were released to Robert and Mary Winn as per the agreement. The
acquisition agreement provides that the number of shares to be released on any
such date will be determined by dividing 375,000 by the then-current market
value of the Company's Common Stock, provided that the number of shares to be
released on any anniversary date will not be less than 62,500 shares nor more
than 150,000 shares. In the event that the number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock to be released from escrow on an anniversary date is greater than
the number of shares then held in escrow, the acquisition agreement provides
that the Company will issue additional shares in the amount of any such
shortfall, and such shares will be deemed to be issued as part of the original
purchase price set forth in the acquisition
<PAGE> 5
agreement. Any shares of Common Stock remaining in escrow subsequent to the
fourth anniversary of the acquisition date will be released to and canceled by
the Company. The acquisition agreement further provides that the Winns, as
beneficial owners of the escrowed shares, are entitled to all voting, dividend
and liquidation rights, preferences and privileges applicable to all of the
escrowed shares, but will be unable to transfer such shares until released from
escrow. The Company has registered these shares, but the registration became
effective subsequent to the one year time frame. However, the holders have
waived their right to have the Company repurchase the shares or issue
additional shares.
Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, EMA entered into employment
agreements with Robert Winn and Mary Winn relating to their continued service
as executive officers of EMA. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, if
either of such employment agreements is terminated by the Company without
cause, all shares then maintained in escrow in the name of the terminated
executive officer will be released and delivered to that person. If either
such agreement is terminated for cause or by the officer, the officer's shares
will be released from escrow according to the above-described schedule.
This escrow arrangement is intended primarily to assure the Company of a
remedy in the event of a claim by the Company to the indemnification provided
by the former EMA shareholders under the acquisition agreement. Pursuant to
the terms of the agreement, any claim to such indemnification is to be first
applied to the escrowed shares. As of the date hereof, no such claim has been
made by the Company.
Competition
The Company occupies a minor, but growing place among a multitude of
competitors, many of which are considerably larger, with greater financial
marketing and distribution resources than the Company. The Company believes
that its principal competitors of eyeglass frames and sunwear in the United
States, some of which manufacture the frames they distribute, include the
Italian companies, Safilo Group, S.p.A. (operating in the United States through
a number of subsidiaries), Luxottica Group S.p.A. (operating in the United
States through its subsidiaries), and Marchon Eyewear, Inc.
The Company's primary methods of competing include advertising in trade
journals, point-of-sale displays, exhibitions at trade shows, and direct
marketing to optical wholesalers and retailers by its officers and sales
representatives. However, the Company's marketing has been limited recently in
order to control costs.
Employees
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had 40 full-time employees, in addition
to its 31 independent manufacturers' representatives. The Company is not a
party to a collective bargaining agreement.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company currently leases 11,000 square feet for its main office and
warehouse space from a third party for a five-year term expiring in February
1998, at a monthly rate of $7,570. In addition, the Company leases a small
warehouse storage facility across the street from the main location, at a
monthly rate of $812. This six-month lease is renewable, and expires in
November 1996. EMA's 2,700 square foot main office and warehouse are located
in Clearwater, Florida, and are leased from an unrelated third
<PAGE> 6
party at a monthly rate of $1,918, expiring December 31, 1996 with an annual
renewal option. The Company's offices and warehouse facilities are in good
condition.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following is an analysis of the Company's results of operations and
its liquidity and capital resources. To the extent that such analysis contains
statements that are not of a historical nature, such statements are
forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. These risks
include: risks of increases in the costs of the Company's products; the
Company's relationships with its suppliers and licensors; the financial
condition and operations of the Company's customers; changes in fashions and
preferences of purchasers of eyewear; competitive and general economic factors
in the markets where the Company's products are manufactured or sold; the
impact of, and changes in, government regulations such as trade restrictions or
prohibitions, or import and other charges and taxes; and other factors
discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto
of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), included
elsewhere herein.
OVERVIEW
For the year and quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company continued to
experience net losses. During the year and quarter, the Company continued its
assimilation of the business lines acquired in its June 1995 acquisition of
EMA. As discussed more fully below, the EMA acquisition resulted in increased
net sales for the Company, but also contributed to the Company's lower gross
profit margin and higher selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.
The Company has continued to review its SG&A expenses in an effort to control
such expenses. In an effort to reduce the Company's inventory levels and
increase its cash position, management has examined closely the Company's
excess and slow moving inventory and has made the decision to increase the
reserve for markdowns, returns and defectives. See "Results of Operations."
Results of Operations:
Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 were $14,363,180, an
increase of $4,610,916 or 47% from the 1995 fiscal year. Included in the sales
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 are EMA's annual sales of $3,949,545,
compared to only nine days of sales by EMA of $570,760 for the 1995 fiscal
year. Classic's sales volume also increased for the 1996 fiscal year by
$1,006,316, or 18% over the 1995 fiscal year. Excluding the sales of Classic
and EMA, the Company's net sales increased by $225,815, or 7% from the previous
fiscal year.
The Company's overall gross profit margin decreased from 42% to 17% from
fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1996, respectively. This decrease is mainly due to the
writeoff of approximately $1,680,000 in slow-moving and obsolete inventory in
the 1996 fiscal year. The Company has also written down approximately $400,000
in defective inventory, as it is not able to determine what value, if any, will
be received from the various vendors regarding this defective inventory. The
Company's gross profit margin, excluding the inventory writedown, was 30% for
the current fiscal year. The Company's management has determined to increase
the current reserves for markdowns, returns and defectives and to focus its
efforts on selling excess and slower moving inventories at reduced prices in
order to reduce the Company's inventory levels. Management believes that the
cash generated by these sales will help lower the Company's borrowings against
its line of credit, thereby lowering interest expense.
<PAGE> 8
SG&A expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 increased by
$5,160,028 (110%) over the same period last year, largely as a result of the
increase in SG&A expenses at EMA, which amounted to $3,329,339 for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1996, compared to only $19,643 for the same period last
year. SG&A expenses for the current year included the amortization and write
down of the goodwill and covenant not to compete resulting from the Company's
acquisitions of $2,581,083 and $1,505,927 for EMA and Classic, respectively.
In addition, a review of the Company's accounts receivable resulted in an
increase in bad debt expense to approximately $190,000 for the 1996 fiscal
year, compared to only approximately $77,000 for the 1995 fiscal year.
Professional fees increased $330,000 from the fiscal year 1995 to 1996 (mainly
due to the Company's S-3 registration statement), and royalties increased
$165,000 in the current year due to increased sales volume and minimum
guarantees.
Beginning with the 1995 fiscal year, the Company has been selectively
purchasing foreign currency in advance of anticipated inventory purchases in
order to stabilize the Company's cost of goods sold. Prior to fiscal year
1995, the Company purchased currency as needed for payment of current inventory
payables. Management believes at the present time that its current foreign
currency holdings are sufficient for the Company's anticipated inventory
purchases for the next 12 months. The Company's advance purchases of foreign
currencies, however, may limit the Company's ability to benefit from further
favorable changes in exchange rates and may not offset the impact of possible
future increases in the prices of inventories purchased.
The following table sets forth the amount of foreign currencies held at
the dates indicated:

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the Company recognized a net
gain of $32,710 related to its foreign currency transactions, and for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1995, the Company recognized a net gain of $57,840. Such
net gains were included in the cost of goods sold for the respective years.
The Company purchases foreign currencies at a 2 1/2% margin from a foreign
currency dealer who finances up to 97 1/2% of the purchase price. The Company
pays interest on the U.S. dollar equivalent balance, at a rate of 6.000% for
fiscal year 1996 and 6.706% for fiscal year 1995. The Company earns interest
on the foreign currency denominated balances, which for the fiscal years 1996
and 1995 was paid at the rates indicated below:

The Company incurred a net loss of $7,831,784 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1996, compared to a net loss of $735,049 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1995. Included in this loss is the following: approximately
$1,680,000 in inventory reserves for slow-moving inventory, the writeoff of
approximately $400,000 in defective inventory, the writeoff of the remainder of
goodwill and non-compete resulting from the Company's acquisitions of
approximately $4,087,000, additional bad debt expense of $113,000, the accrual
of $130,000 for the settlement with Ray Hyman, Sr., and additional professional
fees of $330,000 mainly relating to the Company's S-3 registration statement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
At June 30, 1996, the Company's working capital was $2,165,117 and its
current ratio was 1.3:1, as compared to working capital of $6,168,397 and a
current ratio of 2.0:1 at June 30, 1995.
The change in net cash provided by operating activities for the 1996
fiscal year was primarily due to the net loss from operations of $7,898,797,
depreciation and amortization of $3,780,448, a decrease in accounts receivable
of $253,335, a decrease in inventory of $1,525,224, and increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $1,435,386. The decrease in accounts
receivable was primarily due to an increase in the allowance for doubtful
accounts and an improvement in accounts receivable collections. The decrease
in inventory was directly related to reserves for slow-moving inventory of
$1,680,000 and the write-off of defective inventory of $400,000, while the
decrease in amounts due to foreign currency dealer relates to utilizing
currency in the Company's account at better rates than the current market
rates. The increase in depreciation and amortization was mainly due to
management's decision to write-off goodwill and the covenant not to compete in
the amount of approximately $4,087,000. The increase in accounts payable and
accrued expenses resulted primarily from purchasing new inventory of
approximately $555,000.
During the Company's 1995 and 1996 fiscal year, it maintained a
$3,500,000 line of credit agreement with Republic National Bank ("RNB"). As of
June 30, 1996, total available credit under this line was $924,000. As of
August 29, 1996, the unused balance on this facility was $913,000. Interest
on the line of credit is 3/4% above the prime lending rate. On September 27,
1995 the credit facility with RNB was renewed through September 1996. In
connection with the renewal, EMA was added to the loan agreement as a
co-borrower and the Company repaid an existing $150,000 line of credit from
Barnett Bank.
In July 1996, the Company was notified by RNB that the Company did not
meet certain financial condition criteria and ratios as required by the RNB
credit agreement. To date, RNB has not accelerated repayment of the Company's
obligations under the agreement.
<PAGE> 10
The line of credit at June 30, 1996 was approximately $2,600,000, and the
Company remains in compliance with all collateral requirements, and the Company
remains in compliance with all collateral requirements. The Company and RNB
have agreed to a 60-day extension of the line of credit, at an interest rate
of prime plus 2% and a maximum of $2,700,000. RNB has not yet indicated,
however, whether it will agree to a renewal of the line of credit beyond the
60-day extension. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to
renew this credit facility with RNB or replace it if necessary. Further, the
Company may require, depending on then-current levels of cash flow generated
from operations, additional financing in the near and/or long term. No
assurance can be given that the Company would be able to procure such
necessary financing, or if available, would be able to procure financing on
terms deemed favorable by the Company. In the event the Company is unable to
generate sufficient cash flow from operations, the Company may be forced in the
future to reduce its level of operations.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the Company decreased its
borrowings on its line of credit by $491,300.
Effective as of June 21, 1995, the Company consummated the acquisition
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ocean Private Label, Inc. ("Ocean Private
Label"), of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of EMA. In
accordance with the terms of the EMA acquisition agreement, the acquisition of
the capital stock of EMA was structured as a tax free reorganization within the
meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Pursuant to the
acquisition agreement, EMA was merged into Ocean Private Label and the Company
acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of EMA in exchange for
an aggregate 533,333 shares of Common Stock of Ocean and $400,000 in cash. See
"Item 1 Description of Business - Recent Acquisitions", for further details.
The acquisition of EMA was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. In connection with the acquisition of EMA for $2,011,902, the
Company recorded goodwill of $1,962,340, representing the cost in excess of net
assets acquired, as of the date of acquisition. See Note 3 to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 7 hereof.
D'Arrigo Moda Italia ("D'Arrigo"), a major supplier of EMA and a
principal shareholder of the Company, agreed to exchange $1,150,000 of EMA's
accounts payable balance for $1,150,000 in Series B Convertible 2% Preferred
Stock. In addition, the remaining accounts payable balance at June 20, 1995 of
$1,523,734 was converted into a note payable to D'Arrigo in the principal
amount of $1,273,734, payable in 32 equal monthly payments, and the remaining
balance of $250,000 was paid in cash. On July 2, 1996, D'Arrigo forgave the
Company six monthly payments amounting to $239,729, resulting in a gain of
approximately $100,000. In return, the Company agreed to give D'Arrigo a 20%
discount on the strike price of $3.00 on 70% of the Preferred Stock.
Management currently believes that cash from operations and from
available financing sources are sufficient for the Company to maintain its
operations at current levels, including the additional operations acquired in
the EMA acquisition.

Compensation of Directors
Directors who are not employees of the Company receive $250 for each
meeting attended in person. Employees of the Company receive no additional
cash compensation for service as a Director. All Directors are reimbursed for
expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.
Profit Sharing Plan
The Company has adopted a qualified profit sharing plan covering all
employees 21 years of age and older who have completed one year of employment.
The plan permits the Company to contribute, at its election, up to 15% of the
annual compensation of all participants to the profit sharing trust, of which
Ray Hyman and Jo Anne Hyman, his wife, are the trustees. The Company's
contributions to the trust vest for the accounts of the respective participants
at the rate of 20% per year commencing with the completion of two years of
employment. For the five years ended June 30, 1996, the Company elected not to
contribute to the profit sharing plan.
Stock Option Plans
In 1991, the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company adopted
a Stock Option Plan (the "1991 Plan") pursuant to which 54,000 (adjusted for
stock dividend) shares of Common Stock of the Company were reserved for
issuance. In November 1992, the Board adopted a new plan (the "1992 Plan"; the
1991 Plan and the 1992 Plan are collectively referred to as the "Plans"), which
was approved by the shareholders in February 1993, and which provided for the
issuance of 240,000 (adjusted for stock dividend) shares. The number of shares
issuable under the 1992 Plan was increased to 750,000 at the Company's Annual
Shareholders' Meeting held in December 1993, and to 1,000,000 shares at the
Annual Shareholders' Meeting held in November of 1994. Both Plans are intended
to promote the growth and profitability of the Company, to provide employees of
the Company who are largely responsible for the management, growth and
protection of its business with an incentive to continue to make substantial
contributions to the success of the Company, and to provide those key employees
with an equity interest in the Company.
The Plans are administered by a Stock Option Committee appointed by the
Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The Committee has the
authority to designate the key employees eligible to participate in the Plans,
to prescribe the terms of award, to interpret the Plans, and to make all other
determinations for administering the Plans.
The Plans provide for granting of stock options that may be either
"Incentive Stock Options" within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code") or "Non-Statutory Stock Options"
which do not satisfy the provisions of Section 422A of the Code. Incentive
Stock Options are required to be issued at an option exercise price per share
equal to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant,
except that the exercise price of options granted to any employee who owns (or,
under pertinent Code provisions, is deemed to own) more than 10% of the
outstanding Common Stock must equal at least 110% of fair market value on the
date of grant. Non-Statutory Stock Options may be issued at such option
exercise price as the Committee determines. Exercise of a stock option will be
subject to terms and conditions established by the Committee and set forth in
the instrument evidencing the stock option. Stock options may be exercised
with either cash or shares of the Company's Common Stock or other form of
payment authorized by the Committee. The
<PAGE> 18
date of expiration of a stock option will be fixed by the Committee but may be
longer than ten years from the date of the Plans.
Employment Agreements
The Company has entered into three-year agreements with its executive
officers at base annual salaries of $46,000 each for its two Vice Presidents
and $175,000 for its previous Chief Executive Officer, who resigned during the
1996 fiscal year. A settlement of $130,000 was negotiated and accrued for at
fiscal year end June 30, 1996 in connection with his resignation. EMA has
entered into a four-year agreement with its two executive officers at a base
annual salary of $104,000 each (see "Recent Acquisitions" for details). All
of the Company's executive officers may participate in such profit-sharing,
pension or other incentive compensation plans, as may be provided by the
Company to its executives.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

the Company's ophthalmic frames. During the years ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, the Company's purchases from SFL amounted to $3,318,000 or 35% and
$3,687,000 or 63%, respectively. Due to related parties at June 30, 1996 and
1995 includes approximately $450,000 and $520,000, respectively, of amounts due
to this affiliated party for these purchases. The Company believes that its
purchases of products and services from SFL have been on terms at least as
favorable to the Company as could have been obtained elsewhere. Pierre Girod,
a director of SFL and an officer, director and controlling stockholder of a
publicly owned French company, Societe Francaise de Signalization (Signaux
Girod), of which SFL is a wholly owned subsidiary, was a Director of the
Company until May 1991.
D'Arrigo, the shareholder of the Company's Series B 2% Convertible
Preferred Stock, is the largest supplier of ophthalmic frames for EMA. The
Company currently intends to continue to purchase large quantities of frames
from D'Arrigo, and believes that its purchases of product are on terms at least
as favorable to the Company as could have been obtained elsewhere.
In fiscal year 1996, D'Arrigo agreed to exchange $1,150,000 of EMA's
accounts payable balance for $1,150,000 in Series B Convertible 2% Preferred
Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock is
<PAGE> 22
convertible into one share of the Company's common stock. In the event of any
liquidation, the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive out of assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders
before any distribution of assets is made to holders of common stock,
liquidating distribution in the amount of $5.00 per share. In addition, the
remaining accounts payable balance at June 30, 1995 of $1,523,734 was converted
into a non-interest bearing note payable due to D'Arrigo of $1,128,674, payable
in 32 equal monthly payments, and $250,000 in cash. On July 2, 1996, D'Arrigo
forgave the Company 6 monthly payments amounting to $239,729, resulting in a
gain of approximately $100,000. In return, the Company gave D'Arrigo a 20%
discount on the strike price of $3.00 on 70% of the Preferred Stock.
Due to related parties at June 30, 1995 includes $400,000 due to the

This balance was paid by the Company in July 1995.
In 1996 the Company issued 246,154 shares of common stock to a vendor
in settlement of $400,000 of accounts payable.

former Chief Executive Officer of the Company under a compensation settlement
agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors
Ocean Optique Distributors, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ocean Optique
Distributors, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 1995 and
1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ocean Optique
Distributors, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995 and 1996, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for
the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Ocean Optique Distributors, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1996 and 1995
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Ocean Optique Distributors, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Florida on May 31, 1988. The Company is an
importer and distributor of eyeglass frames.
On June 21, 1995, the Company acquired 100 percent of the capital stock
of European Manufacturers Agency ("EMA"), a Florida corporation. EMA is
engaged in the business of distributing and marketing private label
ophthalmic frames and related items and continues to conduct such
business as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Ocean Optique Distributors, Inc., and it's wholly owned
subsidiaries, Classic Optical, Inc. ("Classic") and EMA. The
results of operations of EMA for the fiscal year 1995 are
included in the statement of operations for the period from June
21, 1995 (the date of acquisition) through June 30, 1995. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
(b) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit at banks,
money market funds, short-term highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less and foreign
currency.
(c) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTION
The Company purchases inventory from certain foreign vendors in
foreign currency. Foreign currency totaling $968,910 at June
30, 1996 and $1,328,101 at June 30, 1995 is carried at current
market exchange rates. Gains or losses from changes in exchange
rates are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations
in the period of occurrence.
(d) INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes have been provided on temporary differences in
reporting certain transactions for financial accounting and tax
purposes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as
measured by the current enacted tax rates which will be in
effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is
the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
F-7
<PAGE> 32
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
(e) USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparing the Company's financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
(f) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The financial statements include various estimated fair value
information at June 30, 1995 and 1996, as required by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments". Such information, which
pertains to the Companys financial instruments, is based on the
requirements set forth in that Statement and does not purport to
represent the aggregate net fair value of the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it
is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments: The
carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short
maturity of those instruments.
Receivables and Payables: The carrying amounts approximate
fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Line of Credit and Notes Payable: The carrying amounts of
debt, lines of credit and notes payable approximate fair value
due to the length of the maturities, the interest rates being
tied to market indices and/or due to the interest rates not
being significantly different from the current market rates
available to the Company.
All of the Companys financial instruments are held for purposes
other than trading.
(g) INVENTORY
Inventory consists of finished goods and is stated at the lower
of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method.
(h) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
calculated over the estimated useful lives (ranging from five to
seven years) of the assets using the straight line method.
Property and equipment acquired through acquisitions are stated
at fair market value as of the date acquired.
F-8
<PAGE> 33
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
(i) INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are comprised of goodwill and the cost of
covenant not to compete agreements. Goodwill results from
corporate acquisitions accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting and includes the excess of cost over the fair
market value of the net assets of the acquired businesses. As
of June 30, 1995, all goodwill is being amortized over periods
of twenty-five years on a straight line basis. The Company had
goodwill associated with the acquisition of Classic in October
1992 of $1,467,038, net of accumulated amortization of $191,833
as of June 30, 1995. At June 30, 1995, the Company had goodwill
associated with the acquisition of EMA in June 1995 of
$1,817,280, with no accumulated amortization expense. The cost
of the Companys covenant not to compete agreements of $350,000
each, related to the acquisitions of Classic and EMA, are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over their terms of three
years and five years, respectively. At June 30, 1995,
accumulated amortization related to the Classic covenant not to
compete agreement was $311,111. There was no accumulated
amortization related to the EMA covenant not to compete
agreement at June 30, 1995. On an ongoing basis, management
reviews the valuation and amortization of intangible assets. As
part of this review, the Company considers both the current and
future undiscounted cash flows generated by the related
subsidiaries acquired to determine whether impairment has
occurred.
In 1996 the Company wrote-down all its goodwill and covenants
related to the acquisition of Classic and EMA to zero and
included the amount written down in SG&A expenses. Managements
decision to write-down the goodwill and the covenants was
based on undiscounted cash flow projections over the next 2
years which do not support the carrying amount of the
goodwill and covenants. Consideration was also given to the
Companys increasing operating losses of the past three years and
the possibility of not renewing a licensing agreement with a
licensor of a major eyeglass brand.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS
121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." SFAS 121 establishes
guidance for when to recognize and how to measure impairment
losses of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible
assets, such as goodwill. The Statement is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company does not
expect the implementation of SFAS 121 to have a material effect
on the Company's financial position or results of operations, in
light of the previously discussed write-down of goodwill and
covenants.
(j) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized when earned as goods are shipped to
customers.
(k) ADVERTISING
The costs of advertising, promotion and marketing programs are
charged to operations in the year incurred.

<PAGE> 34
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
(l) NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Net (loss) income per share of common stock is computed based
upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the year. Common stock issued and placed in escrow (the
"Escrow Shares") as described in Note 11, are not treated as
common stock equivalents for purposes of computing net (loss)
income per share of common stock until the conditions for
release are met. At June 30, 1996, 125,000 shares have been
released from escrow, and are included in the calculation of the
weighted average number of commons shares outstanding. Common
stock equivalents are excluded from the net (loss) per share of
common stock computation due to their anti-dilutive effect in
fiscal 1996 and 1995.
(m) RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain 1995 balances have been reclassified to conform with the
1996 financial statement presentation.
(n) STOCK OPTIONS
Options granted under the Company's Stock Option Plans are
accounted for under APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees", and related interpretations. In November 1995, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which will require
additional proforma disclosures for companies that will
continue to account for employee stock options under the
intrinsic value method specified in APB 25. The Company plans
to continue to apply APB 25 and the only effect of adopting
Statement 123 in 1997 will be the new disclosure requirements.
NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS
On June 21, 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of
EMA. The purchase price consisted of the following:

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
As of June 30, 1996, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards
for federal income tax purposes of approximately $3,012,698, which subject to
limitations are available to offset taxable income and income taxes, if any,
through the year 2011. The net change in the valuation allowance was $1,509,595
and $207,790 in the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The net
change during the year ended June 30, 1996 was due to the reversal of taxable
temporary differences. The net increase in the valuation allowance is necessary
because it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will
not be realized.
Components of income tax (benefit) expense are as follows:

NOTE 11 - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
On March 14, 1994 the Company completed a private placement consisting
of Series A Cumulative Convertible 3% Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
Stock") and units each consisting of $12,500 Principal Amount 8% Five
Year Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures"). As a
result of the private placement, the Company raised, net of fees,
$2,821,000. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into one share
of the Company's common stock. The Debentures are convertible into the
Company's common stock at $3.50 per share or 285.71 shares per $1,000
principal amount of the Debentures. In the event of any liquidation,
the holders of shares of the preferred stock, are entitled to receive
out of assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders
before any distribution of assets is made to holders of common stock,
liquidating distribution in the amount of $2.50 per share plus
accumulated and unpaid dividends.
Effective as of June 21, 1995, the Company consummated the acquisition
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ocean Private Label, Inc. ("Ocean
Private Label"), of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
European Manufacturers Agency, Inc. ("EMA"). In accordance with the
terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the
"Agreement"), dated as of June 21, 1995, by and among the Company, Ocean
Private Label and the shareholders of EMA, the acquisition of the
capital stock of EMA was structured as a tax free reorganization within
the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Pursuant
to said Agreement, EMA was merged into Ocean Private Label and Ocean
acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of EMA in
exchange for an aggregate 533,333 shares of Common Stock of Ocean (the
"Ocean Shares") and $400,000 in cash, representing a purchase price of
approximately $2,000,000.
With respect to the Ocean shares, 500,000 of said Ocean Shares were
placed in escrow (the "Escrow Shares"). The Escrow Shares were issued
in the name of the Selling Shareholders of EMA, who possess all voting,
dividend and liquidation rights, preferences and privileges for all of
the 500,000 shares at June 30, 1995. The Escrow Shares are to be
released on each of the four subsequent anniversary dates of the
closing in accordance with a specified formula, providing for a minimum
of 250,000 shares and a maximum of 600,000 shares, depending on the
average market price of the stock, as defined. Concurrent with the sale
of EMA, the Selling Shareholders separately entered into employment
agreements with EMA providing for a minimum four year term and bonuses
based upon the operational results of EMA. With regard to the Escrow
Shares, in the event that either Selling Shareholders employment is
terminated by the Company with cause, or is terminated by said Selling
Shareholder voluntarily, the Escrow Shares will be released in
accordance with the anniversary dates and terms described above. In
the event either Selling Shareholders employment is terminated by the
Company without cause, any and all Escrow Shares maintained in escrow
shall be released and delivered to said Selling Shareholder. On June
21, 1996, the first anniversary of the closing as stated above, 125,000
shares have been released from escrow. The Company has agreed to file
a registration statement covering the Escrow Shares, and has agreed to
repurchase certain Escrow Shares from the holders thereof at a price of
$3.00 per share (the approximate market price per share of the Ocean
Shares at the date of the EMA acquisition) in the event the
registration statement is not declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission within one year after the closing of the
acquisition. The registration of these shares became effective
subsequent to the one year time frame, however, the holders have waived
their right to have the Company repurchase the shares.

NOTE 11 - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS - CONTINUED
D'Arrigo Moda Italia ("D'Arrigo"), a major supplier of EMA, agreed to
exchange $1,150,000 of EMA's accounts payable balance for $1,150,000 in
Series B Convertible 2% Preferred Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock
is convertible into one share of the Companys common stock. In the
event of any liquidation, the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock
are entitled to receive out of assets of the Company available for
distribution to stockholders before any distribution of assets is made
to holders of common stock, liquidating distribution in the amount of
$5.00 per share. In addition, the remaining accounts payable balance at
June 30, 1995 of $1,523,734 was converted into a non-interest bearing
note payable due to D'Arrigo of $1,128,674, payable in 32 equal monthly
payments, and $250,000 in cash. On July 2, 1996, DArrigo forgave the
Company 6 monthly payments amounting to $239,729, resulting in a gain of
approximately $100,000. In return, the Company gave DArrigo a 20%
discount on the strike price of $3.00 on 70% of the Preferred Stock.

On September 29, 1993, the Company and Revlon, Inc. amended the license
agreement between the parties made as of July 6, 1992, to extend the
territory of the Company's exclusive license to encompass the world.
The Company intends to sublicense these rights in certain countries to
distributors of eyeglass frames. In consideration for the expansion of
the license, the Company agreed to pay Revlon a non-refundable fee of
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (U.S. $500,000), payable in full by the
end of the 1995 calendar year as follows: $100,000 was paid during
fiscal 1994, and the balance of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000)
to be paid in incremental amounts equal to the signing fees received by
the Company from foreign sublicenses. The Company's extension of its
license dated July 6, 1992 to extend the territory to encompass the
world expired on December 31, 1995, with no renewal. In addition, there
were no receipts, expenditures, or outstanding liabilities relating to
the Revlon worldwide license during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995
or June 30, 1996. The Company does however, maintain its exclusive
right to sell Revlon eyeglass frames in the United States and Canada.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company's license
agreement with Revlon for the United States and Canada, was renewed
for a one-year term ending December 31, 1996. The license agreement
may be renewed for an additional three-year term if certain criteria
are met. No assurance can be given that such criteria will be met,
and that therefore such renewals can be negotiated. However,
management believes that there would be no material adverse effect on
the Company's long-term future business should the contract be deemed
not to have been renewed.
In April 1994, the Company entered into three-year agreements with its
executive officers at base annual salaries ranging from $46,000 each for
its two Vice Presidents to $175,000 for its Chief Executive Officer.
During fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 the employment term of the
Companys Chief Executive Officer was terminated and a settlement of
$130,000 was negotiated and fully accrued for at fiscal year June 30,
1996. The executive officers may participate in such profit-sharing,
pension or other incentive compensation plans as may be provided by the
Company to its executives.

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - Continued
In June 1995, EMA entered into a four year employment agreement with
its President, Robert D. Winn, and it's Vice President, Mary S. Winn.
Pursuant to their employment agreements, the President and Vice
President of EMA are to receive annual compensation of $104,000 each.
In addition to the annual compensation set forth in the employment
agreements, the President and Vice President shall be entitled to an
annual bonus during the term of employment equal to 7.5% of the earnings
before income tax in excess of $300,000 generated by EMA for each given
fiscal year. If either the President or Vice President was employed by
EMA for less than a full year, then the amount of any said bonus shall
be prorated. In the event either the President or Vice President dies
or is deemed permanently disabled during his/her term of employment with
EMA, then the annual compensation of the surviving executive shall be
increased to $150,000 per annum.
NOTE 14 - STOCK OPTION PLAN
In July 1991, the board of directors and stockholders of the Company
adopted a Stock Option Plan (the "1991 Plan"), pursuant to which 54,000
(adjusted for stock dividend) shares of common stock of the Company were
reserved for issuance. In November 1992, the Board adopted a new plan
(the "1992 Plan"; the 1991 Plan and the 1992 Plan are jointly known as
the "Plan"), which was approved by the stockholders in February 1993,
and which provided the issuance of 240,000 (adjusted for stock dividend)
shares. The number of shares issuable under the 1992 Plan was increased
to 750,000 at the Company's Annual Shareholders' Meeting held in
December 1993, and to 1,000,000 shares at the annual meeting held
November 30, 1994. Both Plans are intended to promote the growth and
profitability of the Company, to provide employees of the Company who
are largely responsible for the management, growth and protection of its
business with an incentive to continue to make substantial contributions
to the success of the Company, and to provide those key employees with
an equity interest in the Company.
The Plans are administered by a Stock Option Committee appointed by the
Company's board of directors (the "Committee"). The Committee has the
authority to designate the key employees eligible to participate in the
Plan, to prescribe the terms of award, to interpret the Plan, and to
make all other determinations for administering the Plans.
The Plan provides for granting of stock options that may be either
"Incentive Stock Options" within the meaning of Section 422A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), or "Non-Statutory Stock
Options", which do not satisfy the provisions of Section 422A of the
Code. Incentive Stock Options are required to be issued at an option
exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of
common stock on the date of grant, except that the exercise price of
options granted to any employee who owns (or under pertinent Code
provisions, is deemed to own) more than 10% of the outstanding common
stock must equal at least 110% of fair market value at the date of
grant.
Non-Statutory Stock Options may be issued at such option exercise price
as the Committee determines. Exercise of a stock option will be subject
to terms and conditions established by the Committee and set forth in
the instrument evidencing the stock option. Stock options may be
exercised with either cash or shares of the Company's common stock or
any other form of payment authorized by the Committee. The date of
expiration of a stock option will be fixed by the Committee but may not
be longer than ten years from the date of the Plan.
F-19
<PAGE> 44
NOTE 14 - STOCK OPTION PLAN - Continued
In September and November of 1993, the Company issued 200,000 and
100,000 stock options, respectively. Due to the lower market price of
the Company's stock, the Company canceled and repriced all of the
outstanding stock options, and issued 414,000 options (an approximate
20% reduction in the number of shares originally issued) in May 1994, at
the lower market price of $3.125 per share (which approximated the
market value of the Company's stock at the grant date), as a further
incentive for the key employees of the Company.
