NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 30, 1996 AND APRIL 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 March 30,
   1996 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
   the three month periods ended March 30, 1996 and April 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 months ended March 30,
   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. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
   
   SALE OF TRADEMARK - On July 2, 1996, the Company entered 
   into an agreement with Maxwell Shoe Company Inc. (the
   "Purchaser" or "Maxwell") to sell all worldwide rights to the 
   Company'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 closing
   of the transaction with Maxwell is subject to approval by the Company's
   shareholders.
   
   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 transaction by the Company's shareholders; 
   (vii) certain name changes by the Company; (viii) receipt of 
   agreements not to compete from Samuel L. Edelman and

                                    -5-

<PAGE>

   Louise B. Edelman; and (ix) receipt of legal opinions from 
   the Company's trademark, corporate and transaction, counsel.
   Either party may waive conditions provided for its benefit.
   
   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 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 into approximately 2.6 million shares of common 
   stock, $.001 par value, at a conversion 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:  
   $300,000 per month in August 1996 through November 1996, 
   $250,000 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 $1.3 million 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.
   
   In the event that the Company successfully concludes the
   presently proposed transaction with 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 of the sale of the
   trademark.

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 month periods ended March 30, 1996 and April 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 ended March 30, 1996 increased
compared to the same period of last year.  The improvement in net
revenue of $1.5 million is primarily due to the sale of more units,
as well as an increase in private label business.

GROSS PROFIT

For the first quarter of 1996, gross profit as a percentage of net
revenue was 30.5%, compared to 29.9% for the same period of 1995.
The slight improvement in gross profit is a result of better margins
achieved for the Company's current spring merchandise as well as
reduced customer allowances.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage
of net revenue for the three months ended March 30, 1996 decreased
at 23.8% from 25.4% for the three months ended April 1, 1995.  The
reduction in percentage is principally an overall general and
administrative expense control.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 was $186,000
compared to $122,000 for the same period of the prior year.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 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 three months of 1995 as
the Company maintained funds sufficient to meet working capital
needs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary uses of cash for the three months ended March
30, 1996 were for the funding of the increases in receivables (both
factored and trade), partially offset by an increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses, and a decrease in inventory.

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.

                                   -7-

On July 2, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with
Maxwell Shoe Company Inc. (the "Purchaser" or "Maxwell") to sell
all worldwide rights to the Company'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 closing of the transaction is subject
to the approval of the Company's shareholders.

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 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 opinion
from the Company's trademark, corporate, and transaction, counsel.
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 (the "Conversion Agreement") with 
those vendors whereby the vendors agreed to forgive $1.3 million of 
indebtedness and to convert $2.0 million of indebtedness into 2.6 
million shares of common stock, $.001 par value, at a conversion 
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: 
$300,000 per month in August 1996 through November 1996, $250,000 
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.

In the event that the Company successfully concludes the presently
proposed sale 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 of the transaction with Maxwell.

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 transaction with Maxwell.  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 trademark 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) sale of existing inventory, ii) collection 
of existing receivables, iii) payment of its obligations under the 
Conversion Agreement, iv) completion of the transaction with 
Maxwell, 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).

                                -8-

<PAGE>

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 it 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.

Management expects to incur an operating loss in the second
quarter.
