INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Advisory Committee
Fossil, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Fossil,  Inc. Savings and Retirement Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits  for  the  years  then  ended.  These  financial   statements  are  the
responsibility  of the Plan'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  accounting
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,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1995
and 1994,  and the changes in net assets  available  for  benefits for the years
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  information by fund is
presented  for  the  purpose  of  additional  analysis  of the  basic  financial
statements rather than to present information regarding the net assets available
for benefits and changes in net assets  available for benefits of the individual
funds,  and the  accompanying  supplemental  schedules  of (1)  assets  held for
investment  purposes at December 31, 1995, and (2) reportable  transactions  for
the  year  ended  December  31,  1995,  and are  presented  for the  purpose  of
additional  analysis  and  are  not a  required  part  of  the  basic  financial
statements. The supplemental schedules are required by the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental  information and schedules are the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  Such  supplemental  information  and
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of
the basic  financial  statements  and, in our opinion,  are fairly stated in all
material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial  statements
taken as a whole.

FOSSIL, INC. SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING:  The  accounting  records of the Fossil,  Inc.  Savings and
Retirement  Plan  (the  "Plan"),  sponsored  by  Fossil,  Inc.  ("Fossil"),  are
maintained on the accrual basis of accounting.

INVESTMENTS: Investments are presented in the financial statements at fair value
determined  by quoted market prices at the close of business on December 31. The
change  in the  difference  between  fair  value  and the  cost of  investments,
including  realized gains or losses, is reflected in the statement of changes in
net assets  available for benefits as net  appreciation  (depreciation)  in fair
value of investments  during the year.  Interest and dividend income is recorded
on an accrual basis.

EXPENSES: Expenses incurred by the Plan are paid by Fossil.

NOTE 2 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following brief  description of the Plan provides only general  information.
Participants  should refer to the plan document for a more complete  description
of the Plan's provisions.

PLAN  ORGANIZATION,  AMENDMENTS  AND GENERAL  PROVISIONS:  The Plan is a defined
contribution plan covering eligible employees of Fossil. The purpose of the Plan
is to encourage  employees to accumulate savings for their retirement.  The Plan
is administered by Fossil.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

CONTRIBUTIONS  AND VESTING:  The Plan is qualified  under Section  401(k) of the
Internal   Revenue   Code  (the   "Code").   Employees   are  eligible  to  make
contributions, after having been employed by Fossil for at least 12 months, from
amounts  subject  to income tax and such  amounts  are  characterized  as salary
deferral  contributions by Fossil.  The maximum salary deferral  contribution is
the lesser of 15% of gross pay or,  according  to the Code,  $9,240 for 1995 and
1994.  The  Plan  document   provides  for   limitations   on  salary   deferral
contributions  in the event of a hardship  withdrawal.  Fossil generally makes a
matching  contribution at the rate of 50% of the first 3% and 25% of the next 3%
of  the  participant's  salary  deferral  contribution.  Fossil  may  also  make
additional profit sharing contributions at the discretion of the Plan's Advisory
Committee. No such additional  discretionary  contributions were made during the
years ended December 31, 1995 or 1994. Vesting in salary deferral  contributions
is 100%.  Vesting  in  matching  contributions  is 20% per year of  service.  An
employee is credited  with a year of service  when 1000 actual  hours of service
have been attained  during a plan year (the 12  consecutive  month period ending
December 31).

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

NOTE 2 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CON'T)

Currently, participants can elect to have their contributions invested in any of
several  investment  options which are described in Note 3. The  participant can
change  elections and can also reallocate  those funds already  invested between
available investment options quarterly.  The Plan also allows rollover transfers
from other qualified plans. The Plan limits the participants  purchase of Fossil
Common Stock to 25% of deferral  contributions  and in the case of a rollover or
transfer up to 25% of the participants  total balance may be allocated to Fossil
Common Stock.

In  addition,  hardship  withdrawals  for certain  expenses  including  medical,
tuition, funeral, purchase of or possible eviction from a primary residence, and
the participant's disability are permitted.

Forfeitures of nonvested  employer  contribution  account balances are generally
reallocated each year to the remaining  participants based upon the participants
matching  contribution  for that  quarter.  The  plan  additionally  allows  for
forfeitures to be used to lower future employer contributions.

DISTRIBUTION  OF  BENEFITS:  Distributions  of vested  benefits may be made to a
participant  upon  retirement,  disability,  death or termination of employment.
Prior to age 65, a participant,  while employed,  may make a withdrawal from his
salary deferral  contributions  account in the event that the participant has an
immediate and  substantial  financial  need, as defined in Section 401(k) of the
Code, subject to certain conditions contained in the Plan document.

Distributions of vested benefits under the Plan are paid to the participant or a
beneficiary in the form of a lump sum or partial distribution.

Any  withdrawals  from the Plan will generally be subject to federal income tax.
Taxes  may  be  postponed  by  "rolling  over"  the  proceeds  to an  individual
retirement  plan or to another  qualified plan. An additional 10% excise tax may
be imposed  on the  taxable  portion of  distributions  and  withdrawals  before
attaining age 65. The additional tax is not imposed for  distributions on death,
disability,  termination of employment after age 59 1/2, pursuant to a qualified
domestic order, and for other reasons enumerated in the Code.

AMENDMENT OR  TERMINATION:  Fossil has  reserved  the right to amend,  modify or
terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the Plan document and applicable laws
and  regulations.  Fossil has no intentions of terminating the Plan nor is aware
of any occurrences that could result in the termination of the Plan.

                                      -7-
