NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 29, 1996 AND JULY 1, 1995
(UNAUDITED)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 
     have been prepared from the records of the Company without audit and, 
     in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of 
     normal recurring accruals) necessary to fairly present the Company's 
     financial position at June 29, 1996 and the results of its operations 
     and its cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 29, 1996 and 
     July 1, 1995.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 
     30, 1995, presented herein, has been prepared from the audited 
     consolidated balance sheet of the Company.

     Accounting policies followed by the Company are described in Note 1 to the
     audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 30,
     1995.  As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission, certain information and footnote disclosures included
     in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted for the
     purposes of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.  The
     condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including
     the notes thereto, for the year ended December 30, 1995.

     The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended 
     June 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be 
     expected for any other period or for the full year.

2.   FACTORING AGREEMENT

     On April 26, 1996, the Company received notification from the factor 
     indicating the Company was in default of certain provisions of the 
     factoring and financing arrangement.  The Company is currently 
     operating with a discretionary overadvance facility provided by the 
     factor, and is in the process of negotiating a new financing agreement.

3.   COMPOSITION AND CONVERSION AGREEMENT

     At June 26, 1996, the Company had approximately $4.9 million of 
     accounts payable with two of its major vendors.  On that date, the 
     Company has entered into an agreement with those vendors whereby the 
     vendors agreed to forgive $1.3 million of indebtedness and convert $2.0 
     million of indebtedness to 2.6 million shares of common stock, $.001 
     par value, at a conversion debt purchase price of $.75 per share.  The 
     remaining aggregate debt due to these vendors of $1.6 million is 
     required to be paid in consecutive monthly installments due on the 
     first of each month as follows: $297,000 per month in August 1996 
     through November 1996, $200,000 in December 1996, and the remaining 
     balance in January 1997, all without interest.  In the event the 
     Company does not comply with the above payment schedule, the amounts 
     forgiven will be immediately due and payable by the Company, and 
     interest will accrue at the maximum rate permitted by law on any 
     portion of the debt which was outstanding from January 1, 1996 until 
     such time that the Company has repaid the debt, or such debt has been 
     forgiven or converted.

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

     In the event that the Company successfully concludes the presently 
     proposed sales of certain of its assets to Maxwell (described below), 
     then, the Company shall pay to the vendors, the remaining balance due 
     after application of the debt forgiveness and the converted debt, 
     within five business days following the date upon which the Company 
     receives the proceeds of the sale of the trademark.

     At June 29, 1996, the Company has recorded the conversion of debt to 
     equity. The $1.3 million of forgiveness of indebtedness will be 
     recognized only after the Maxwell transaction is realized.  The 
     Company's ability to realize the benefit from this forgiveness is 
     limited to its ability to comply with the payment terms described, 
     which is dependent upon the successful completion of the Maxwell 
     Transaction.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
GENERAL

The following discussion of the Company's results of operations for the 
three-and six-month periods ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995 includes the 
consolidated results of operations of Sam & Libby, Inc. and its three 
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sanders Importacao E. Exportacao Ltda. ("Sam & 
Libby Brazil"), Sam & Libby (HK) Limited, ("Sam & Libby Hong Kong"), and Sam 
& Libby Outlets, Inc.  The Hong Kong subsidiary was liquidated in connection 
with the Company's discontinued apparel operation.  In the fourth quarter of 
1995, the Company terminated operations in Brazil.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET REVENUE

Net revenue for the three months and six months ended June 29, 1996 decreased 
55% and 22%, respectively, compared to the same period of last year.  The 
dramatic decrease was due to the poor reception of the product line by 
customers as well as the inability to obtain sufficient financing for the 
production of goods ordered by customers.

GROSS PROFIT (LOSS)

Gross profit (loss) as a percentage of net revenue for the three months ended 
June 29, 1996 was (2.1%) compared to 30.3% for the same period of 1995.  This 
steep decline is due to the significant off-price sales incurred by the 
Company to reduce its inventory position, additional inventory markdowns to 
net realizable value, and the effect of allocating fixed production costs 
over a smaller sales base.

These factors caused the gross margin as a percentage of sales for the six 
months ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995, respectively, to reduce to 20.4% 
from 30.1%.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased for the three- 
and six-month periods ended June 29, 1996 and July 2, 1995, respectively, due 
to an overall reduction of expense levels, principally the reduction of 
payroll expense, partially offset by the additional reserves for 
collectibility of certain assets.  SG&A as a percentage of sales increased to 
44.6% from 24.2% for the three-month period, and increased to 33.3% from 
24.7% for the six-month period because of the smaller sales base.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the three months and six months ended June 29, 1996 was 
$268,000 and $454,000 compared to $212,000 and $334,000 for the same period 
of last year.  This increase in interest expense is related primarily to 
advances received from the Company's factor to meet working capital 
requirements.  In addition, the Company's borrowing rate increased due to its 
overadvance position.  Factor advances were significantly lower throughout 
the first six months of 1995 as the Company maintained funds sufficient to 
meet working capital needs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of cash for the six months ended June 29, 1996 
was from the sale of inventory and conversion of debt to equity.  This cash 
was used to decrease payables, increase the balance due from factor, and 
increase cash balances.

The Company's business plan for 1996 reflected a need for cash advances from 
its factor in excess of the borrowing base formula.  Such overadvances up to 
$2.0 million are available under the factor agreement at the sole discretion 
of the factor.  In order for the Company to avail itself of this overadvance 
line, a principal shareholder and executive officer of the Company executed 
a personal guarantee up to $600,000 of the overadvance facility in the form 
of collateral assigned to the factor.

On May 31, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized (subject to shareholder 
approval) the Company to enter into an agreement with Maxwell Shoe Company 
Inc. (the "Purchaser" or "Maxwell") to sell all worldwide rights to Sam & 
Libby's trademarks, trade names and intellectual property rights free and 
clear of all liens, mortgages, encumbrances and security interests for $5.5 
million in cash. The Purchaser will not assume any of the Company's 
liabilities or obligations.

The proposed transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including: (i) 
no litigation, investigation or other proceeding pending or threatened which 
presents substantial risk of the restraint or prohibition of the transaction 
or obtaining of material damages in connection therewith; (ii) approval of 
the transaction by, or qualification of the transaction with, all applicable 
governmental agencies; (iii) written consent of the Bank of New York; (iv) 
removal of all liens filed or recorded against the Company; (v) receipt of 
Secretary's Certificate; (vi) approval of the transaction by shareholders; (vii)
certain name changes by the Company; (viii) receipt of agreements not to 
compete from Samuel L. Edelman and Louise B. Edelman; and (ix) receipt of 
legal opinions from the Company's trademark, corporate, and transaction, 
counsels. Either party may waive conditions provided for its benefit.

At June 26, 1996, the Company had approximately $4.9 million of accounts 
payable with two of its vendors.  On that date, the Company entered into an 
agreement with those vendors whereby the vendors agreed to forgive $1.3 
million of indebtedness and to convert $2.0 million of indebtedness to 2.6 
million shares of common stock, $.001 par value, at a conversion debt 
purchase price of $.75 per share.  The remaining aggregate debt due to these 
vendors of $1.6 million is required to be paid in consecutive monthly 
installments due on the first of each month as follows:  $297,000 per month 
in August 1996 through November 1996, $200,000 in December 1996, and the 
remaining balance in January 1997, all without interest.  In the event the 
Company does not comply with the above payment schedule, the amounts forgiven 
will be immediately due and payable by the Company, and interest will accrue 
at the maximum rate permitted by law on any portion of the debt which was 
outstanding from January 1, 1996 until such time that the Company has repaid 
the debt, or such debt has been forgiven or converted.

At June 29, 1996, the Company has recorded the conversion of debt to equity. 
The $1.3 million of forgiveness of indebtedness will be recognized only after 
the Maxwell transaction is realized.  The Company's ability to realize the 
benefit from this forgiveness is limited to its ability to comply with the 
payment terms described, which is dependent upon the successful completion of 
the Maxwell transaction.

                                      -8-

In the event that the Company successfully concludes the presently proposed 
sales of certain of its assets to Maxwell, then, the Company shall pay to the 
vendors, the remaining balance due after application of the debt forgiveness 
and the converted debt, within five business days following the date upon 
which the Company receives the proceeds from the Maxwell transaction.

Without consummation of the Maxwell transaction, management does not believe 
that the Company could survive for any substantial period of time as a 
stand-alone entity and further believes that the continuation of the 
Company's business in its present form would result in significant continuing 
losses.  The Company has not decided on the nature of its future operations 
subsequent to the Maxwell transaction.  However, the Company is considering 
various investment alternatives, such as either acquiring a business or 
commencing a new business.  The Company's continued existence is dependent 
upon the successful completion of the sale of its trademarks and its ability 
to maintain sufficient liquidity during 1996 to acquire a successful business 
or commence a successful new business.  Management's plans to improve its 
liquidity to have sufficient cash for its various investment alternatives 
include: i) reducing inventory levels by sale of existing inventory, ii) 
collection of existing receivables, iii) successful execution of its 
composition and conversion agreement, iv) consummation of the Maxwell 
transaction, v) instituting an extensive cost reduction program that is 
expected to reduce general and administrative expenses through a reduction in 
certain payroll costs, consolidation of office space, as well as a close 
monitoring of other expenses, vi) negotiating a new financing agreement with 
an overadvance provision from the Company's factor and lender (including 
obtaining a waiver for the current default position).

The Company believes it can improve its liquidity to have sufficient cash for 
a successful investment alternative.  Management believes execution of those 
steps will provide sufficient liquidity for its to continue as a going 
concern in its present form.  Accordingly, the consolidated financial 
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and 
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of 
liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the 
Company be unable to continue as a going concern in its present form.  
However, there can be no assurance that all of these steps, if successfully 
completed, can improve the Company's liquidity and that the investment 
alternative will be successful.
