              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)



(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
         have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB
         and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
         generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
         statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments
         (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the
         opinion of Management necessary for a fair statement of results for the
         interim periods.

         The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 1997
         are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
         full year.

         These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
         statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB, for
         the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.

(2)      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.

         Effective June 27, 1997, the Company consummated the acquisition of
         Solovision Optical, Inc. ("Solovision"), a privately held, Miami-based
         company engaged in importing, exporting, marketing and distributing low
         to moderately priced eyeglass frames and importing and distributing
         optical equipment. In connection with the acquisition of Solovision
         (the "Solovision Acquisition"), the Company issued to the shareholders
         of Solovision shares of the Company's Common Stock and the Company's
         Series C Non-Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C
         Preferred Stock") with an aggregate voting power equal to 60% of the
         outstanding voting capital stock of the Company, on a fully diluted
         basis, after giving effect to the Solovision Acquisition. The Company
         consummated the Solovision Acquisition pursuant to the Agreement and
         Plan of Merger dated as of June 26, 1997 (the "Solovision Agreement and
         Plan of Merger") by and among the Company, Ocean Acquisitions
         Corporation ("OAC"), Solovision, Solomon Ovadia, Leon Wildstein and
         Ovadia Family Trust.

         The Solovision Acquisition was effected as follows: (1) Solovision and
         an affiliated corporation, Sorrento Eyewear, Inc. ("Sorrento"), were
         merged pursuant to Florida law, with Solovision as the surviving
         corporation (the "Solovison-Sorrento Merger"); (2) immediately
         thereafter, Solovision was merged with and into OAC pursuant to Florida
         law, with Solovision as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"); and
         (3) the shares of the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of
         Solovision (the Solovision Common Stock") outstanding at the effective
         time of the Merger were converted into an aggregate of 3,137,977 shares
         of the Company's Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series C
         Preferred Stock (each share of Solovision Common Stock being converted
         as a result of the Merger into 21,346.78 shares of Common Stock and
         6,802.72 shares of Series C Preferred Stock). Each share of Series C
         Preferred Stock will be

                                       7
<PAGE>

         entitled to vote together with the Common Stock as a single class on
         all matters presented to a vote of shareholders, except as provided by
         law, with each share of Series C Preferred Stock entitled to 7.155058
         votes. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock will be automatically
         converted into 7.155058 shares of Common Stock upon the filing of an
         amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation increasing the
         number of authorized shares of Common Stock to not less than 25,000,000
         shares. As a result, the shareholders of Solovision received, on a pro
         rata basis, shares with an aggregate voting power equal to 60% of the
         outstanding voting capital stock of the Company, on a fully diluted
         basis, after giving effect to the Solovision Acquisition.

         For accounting purposes, the Solovision Acquisition has been treated as
         an acquisition of Ocean and its subsidiaries, Classic and EMA, by
         Solovision. The presentation of the Company's Condensed Consolidated
         Financial Statements included in this report reflects the consummation
         of the Solovision Acquisition on June 27, 1997.

(3)      BANK LINE OF CREDIT

         On May 28, 1997, the Company refinanced its credit facility through a
         Loan and Security Agreement with Coast Business Credit, a division of
         Southern Pacific Thrift & Loan Association ("Coast"). Loans outstanding
         under this agreement at any time may not exceed the lesser of either:
         (a) $4,000,000 or (b) the sum of: (I) 70% of the Company's receivable
         deemed by Coast to be eligible for borrowing (which may be increased to
         75% if dilution is less than 15%, subject to certain restrictions); and
         (ii) the lesser of up to 55% of the value of the Company's inventory
         deemed by Coast to be eligible for borrowing, or $2,000,000. The
         interest rate on all loans made under the credit facility is 2% above
         the prime rate, with a minimum monthly interest amount equal to said
         rate charged on an outstanding daily balance of $2,000,000. The
         maturity date is June 30, 2000, subject to automatic renewal for
         additional one-year terms upon payment of a renewal fee. The Company
         also issued to Coast warrants to acquire 187,500 shares of Common Stock
         at an exercise price of $1.625 per share. The credit facility is
         secured by all of the Company's assets.

(4)      CALCULATION OF EARNINGS PER  SHARE

         Net (loss) income per share of Common Stock is computed based upon the
         weighted average number of Common Shares and Common Stock equivalents
         outstanding during the year. Included in the weighted average number of
         shares calculation is the retroactive effect of the 3,137,977 Common
         shares and the 1,000,000 Series C non-cumulative Convertible Preferred
         shares issued in the Solovision Acquisition.

                 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         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 Ocean Optique Distributors, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company"), included elsewhere herein.

OVERVIEW

         With the consummation of the Solovision Acquisition in June 1997, the
Company acquired an additional operating subsidiary and strengthened its
management team. The Company is in the process of assimilating its new
subsidiary, including coordination of accounting and computer systems and
deployment of personnel. The Company is not able at this time to estimate the
timetable for completion of such assimilation. Therefore, there can be no
assurances of the Company's ability to realize significant operating
efficiencies, if any, from the Solovision Acquisition in the near future. See *
Note 2. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.*

         Effective November 14, 1997, the Company announced the appointment of
Ronald L. Darata to serve on the Company's Board of Directors and as the
Company's President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Darata has 30 years
experience in the optical industry, most recently as Executive Vice President
and a director of Physician's Eyecare Network, Inc., a Concord, California
management services organization providing exceptional expertise and capital for
networks of eye care providers.

         On January 8, 1998, the Issuer entered into an agreement (the
"consulting Agreement') with XR Co., a privately held Miami - based investment
company, of which Robert L. Koeppel is the sole beneficial shareholder and
whereby XR Co. acquired 2,846,154 shares of a new series of the Issuer's
cumulative convertible preferred stock, 400,000 shares of common stock, and an
option to purchase additional shares of common stock in exchange for certain
services to be rendered, including increasing the Issuer's net tangible assets
by no less than $1 million before July 1, 1998, and providing other management
and strategic services.

         Through this acquisition of preferred stock, XR Co. acquired
approximately 51% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's voting stock. The
preferred stock is subject to redemption in whole or in part by the Issuer,
however, if by July 1, 1998, the Issuer's net tangible assets have not been
increased by $1 million. The preferred stock pays cumulative dividends at the
annual rate of 2.5% beginning on July 1, 1998, has a liquidation preference of
$0.35 per share after July 1, 1998, and is subordinate to the Issuer's
previously issued series of preferred stock. The shares of preferred stock may
be converted by XR Co. into shares of the Issuer's common stock at the rate of
6.5 shares of common stock for each $0.35 of liquidation value plus accumulated
but unpaid dividends for each share converted.

         XR Co. will, under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, provide to
the Issuer various management and business services, including implementing
strategies to improve the financial condition of the Issuer, implementing new
products and expanding the markets for the Issuer's products, streamlining the
Issuer's

                                       9
<PAGE>


operations and reducing its expenses, and assisting management in negotiating
agreements with the Issuer's vendors and licensers. In connection with the
performance of such services, the Issuer agreed to pay to XR Co. an aggregate
of 400,000 shares of common stock, payable in 12 monthly installments upon
adoption of an amendment to the Issuer's articles of incorporation to increase
the number of authorized shares of common stock.

         In addition, if the Issuer's net tangible assets are increased by at
least $1 million prior to the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the
Consulting Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to grant to XR Co. an option to
purchase that number of shares of common stock equal to 1% of the outstanding
common stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis. The option will be
exercisable when authorized shares of common stock are available at an exercise
price per share equal to the closing price of the Issuer's common stock on the
date such increase in the Issuer's net tangible assets is completed.

         During February 1997, the Company's license agreement with Revlon was
terminated. Nevertheless, management currently believes that the Company's
overall gross margin will be enhanced with the termination of this contract, as
all of the Company's other lines carry larger margins than did the Revlon
product. In addition, JH Collectibles, one of the Company's other licensers,
filed for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code during the
first quarter of 1997. The Company's licensing agreement with JH Collectibles
expired on March 31, 1997, and as a result of the bankruptcy, was not renewed.
The Company believes that there will be no material adverse affect on the
Company's long-term future business from the loss of this licensing agreement.
Additionally, the Company has been in negotiations with Chevrolet and Gitano
with regard to license renewals, although such negotiations have not as yet
resulted in any definitive agreement, and there can be no assurance that such
licenses will be renewed.

         In May 1997, the Company refinanced its credit facility. See "Liquidity
and Capital Resources," below.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - For the six months ended December 31, 1997  and 1996.

         Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1997 were 4,315,713, an
increase of 3,020,345 or 233.2% from the same period in 1996. The increase was
due primarily to the impact of the Solovision Acquisition. Net sales at
Solovision for the six months ended December 31, 1997 totaled $1,749,358 and
$1,295,368, respectively.

         The Company gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 1997
increased by 1,550,048 or 397.3%, when compared to the same period in 1996,
mainly due to the merger. The Company's gross profit margin increased from 30.1%
for the six months ended December 31, 1996 to 45.0% for the six months ended
December 31, 1997. This increase was mainly due to more sales to direct
accounts, through which the Company obtains better margins.

         SG & A expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1997 increased by
$1,763,350 (491.7%) over the same period last year. This increase is mainly due
to the impact of the Solovision Acquisition, and to a lesser extent is due to
additional professional fees of $275,762 and an increase in amortization and
depreciation of $176,061. SG & A as a percentage of net sales increased to 49.2%
from 27.7% for the six months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
This increase was mainly due to the merger with Solovision Acquisition, and the
additional expenses as mentioned above.

         For the six months ended December 31, 1997, the Company had a net loss
$428,404 compared to a net profit of $17,152 for the same period last year. This
decrease in profits is primarily due to the increase in interest expense of
$237,854, the increase of amortization and depreciation of $176,061 an increase
in professional fees of 275,762 and to the increases in normal operating
expenses related to the Solovision Acquisition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  -  For the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.

         Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1997 were $1,617,360,
an increase of $888,817, or 120.5% from the same period in 1996. The increase
was due primarily to the impact of the Solovision Acquisition. Net sales at
Solovision for the three months ended December 31, 1997 totaled $646,893, and
$733,543, respectively.

         The Company's gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 1997
increased by $528,456, or 272.2% when compared to the same period in 1996,
mainly due to the merger. The Company's gross profit margin increased from 26.5%
for the three months ended December 31, 1996 to 44.7% for the three months ended
December 31, 1997. This increase was mainly due to more sales to direct
accounts, through which the Company obtains better margins.

         SG & A expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1997 increased
by $843,291 (369.5%) over the same period last year. This increase is mainly due
to the impact of the Solovision Acquisition, and to a lesser extent is due to
additional professional fees of $243,746, and an increase in amortization and
depreciation of $101,365. SG & A as a percentage of net sales increased to 66.3%
from 31.1% for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
This increase was mainly due to the merger with Solovision Acquisition, and the
additional expenses as mentioned above.

         For the three months ended December 31, 1997, the Company had a net
loss of $458,620 compared to a net loss of $43,535 for the same period last
year. This decrease in profits is primarily due to the increase in interest
expense of $102,196, the increase of amortization and depreciation of $101,365,
an increase in professional fees of $243,746 and to the increase in normal
operating expenses related to the Solovision Acquisition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At December 31, 1997, the Company's working capital was $676,056, and
its current ratio was 1.10% as compared to the working capital of $810,069 and
current ratio of 1.11:1 as of June 30, 1997.

         The change in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily
due to the net loss from operations of $431,404, depreciation of $176,061, a
decrease in accounts receivable of $635,016, an increase in prepaid expenses and
other current assets of $1,001,097 mainly due to prepaid purchases and usage of
barter agreements, and a decrease in inventory of $209,889. The change in net
cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the net decrease in
proceeds from the Company's credit line of $41,384.

         In May 1997, the Company refinanced its credit facility through a Loan
and Security Agreement with Coast Business Credit, a division of Southern
Pacific Thrift & Loan Association ("Coast"). Loans outstanding under this
agreement at any time may not exceed the lesser of either: (a) $4,000,000 or (b)
the sum of: (I) 70% of the Company's receivable deemed by Coast to be eligible
for borrowing (which may be increased to 75% if dilution is less than 15%,
subject to certain restrictions); and (ii) the lesser of up to 55% of the value
of the Company's inventory deemed by Coast to be eligible for borrowing, or
$2,000,000. The interest rate of all loans made under the credit facility is 2%
above the prime rate, with a minimum monthly interest amount equal to said rate
charged on an outstanding daily balance of $2,000,000. The maturity date is June
30, 2000, subject to automatic renewal for additional one -year terms upon
payment of a renewal fee. The Company also issued to Coast warrants to acquire
$187,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.625 per share. The
credit facility is secured by all of the Company's assets. Inability to repay
the loans under the credit facility in a timely manner so they become due would
have a materially adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue its
operations and could cause the Company to lose most of its assets. There can be
no assurance that income generated from operations will be sufficient to cover
all operating expenses and meet present and future debt service payments.

         In October 1997, the Company's Chairman of the Board invested $250,000
in shares of a new series of the Company's convertible preferred stock, the
terms of which are being finalized.

         Management currently believes that cash from operations and from
available credit sources is sufficient for the Company to maintain its
operations at current levels, including the operations acquired in the
Solovision Acquisition . The Company is at the present time seeking other
sources of financing to provide additional working capital. There can be no
assurances that such other financing will be available and, if available, will
be at terms favorable to the company.
