                                    UNAUDITED

1.       FINANCIAL STATEMENT POLICIES

Basis of Presentation.  The condensed  consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Fossil,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation,  and its  majority-owned
subsidiaries (the "Company").  The condensed  consolidated  financial statements
reflect all  adjustments  that are, in the opinion of  management,  necessary to
present a fair  statement  of the  Company's  financial  position as of April 1,
2000, and the results of operations for the thirteen-week periods ended April 1,
2000 and April 3, 1999. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

These  interim  financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the
audited  financial  statements and the notes thereto included in Form 10-K filed
by the Company  pursuant  to the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 for the year
ended  January 1, 2000.  Operating  results for the  thirteen-week  period ended
April 1, 2000, are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be achieved for
the full year.

On July 21, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a 3-for-2 stock
split  ("Stock  Split") of the Company's  $0.01 par value common stock  ("Common
Stock")  which was  effected in the form of a stock  dividend  which was paid on
August 17, 1999 to stockholders of record on August 3, 1999.  Retroactive effect
has been given to the Stock Split in  stockholders'  equity  accounts and in all
share and per share data in the accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements and notes thereto.

Business. The Company designs, develops, markets and distributes fashion watches
and other accessories,  principally under the "FOSSIL" and "RELIC" brands names.
The Company's  products are sold primarily  through  department stores and other
major retailers, both domestically and in over 85 countries worldwide.

</TABLE>

The Company periodically enters into forward contracts  principally to hedge the
payment of intercompany inventory  transactions with its non-U.S.  subsidiaries.
Currency  exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of the related
accounts, along with the offsetting gains or losses from the hedge, are deferred
until the inventory is sold or the forward  contract is  completed.  At April 1,
2000,  the Company had hedge  contracts to sell 194.4  million  Japanese Yen for
approximately  $1.9  million,  expiring  through  December 2000 and 7.13 billion
Italian Lira for approximately $3.6 million, expiring through June 2000.

                          FOSSIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

The  following  is a  discussion  of the  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations of the Company for the thirteen-week  period ended April 1, 2000 (the
"First Quarter"),  as compared to the  thirteen-week  period ended April 3, 1999
(the "Prior Year Quarter").  This discussion  should be read in conjunction with
the Condensed  Consolidated  Financial Statements and the related Notes attached
hereto.

General

The Company is a leader in the design,  development,  marketing and distribution
of contemporary,  high quality fashion watches and accessories. The FOSSIL brand
name was developed by the Company to convey a distinctive  fashion,  quality and
value  message  and a brand  image  reminiscent  of  "America in the 1950s" that
suggests a time of fun,  fashion and humor.  Since its  inception  in 1984,  the
Company has grown from its original flagship FOSSIL watch product into a Company
offering a  diversified  range of  accessories.  The Company's  current  product
offerings include an extensive line of fashion watches sold under the FOSSIL and
RELIC  brands as well as  complementary  lines of small  leather  goods,  belts,
handbags and sunglasses.  In addition to developing its own brands,  the Company
leverages   its   development   and   production   expertise  by  designing  and
manufacturing  private  label  and  licensed  products  for  some  of  the  most
prestigious companies in the world, including national retailers,  entertainment
companies and fashion designers.

The Company's products are sold to department stores and specialty retail stores
in over 85 countries worldwide through  Company-owned foreign sales subsidiaries
and  through  a  network  of  approximately  52  independent  distributors.  The
Company's foreign operations include a presence in Asia, Australia,  Canada, the
Caribbean,  Europe,  Central and South America and the Middle East. In addition,
the Company's products are offered at Company-owned  retail locations throughout
the United States and in  independently-owned,  authorized  FOSSIL retail stores
and kiosks  located in several  major  airports,  on cruise ships and in certain
international  markets.  The Company's successful expansion of its product lines
worldwide  and  leveraging  of  its  infrastructure   have  contributed  to  its
increasing net sales and operating profits.

First Quarter & Company Highlights

o    FOSSIL  brand watch sales  continue to show  double-digit  growth at retail
     with an increased emphasis on the ladies F2 line of watches.

o    FOSSIL brand handbags recorded sales volume growth with net sales increases
     over 70% during the First  Quarter.  This  increase  was largely due to the
     strong retail demand for the Company's traditional leather handbag products
     as well as the current non-leather seasonal line.

o    RELIC, the Company-owned  brand sold in leading national and regional chain
     department  stores, recorded  sales volume growth  exceeding 70% during the
     First Quarter. This increase was driven by strong volume increases in RELIC
     watches combined with continued roll-out of RELIC leather goods.

o    The Company continued to strengthen its licensed watch product line. During
     the First Quarter, the Company launched its DKNY brand licensed watch line,
     which generated sales of approximately $4.3 million. Additionally, sales of
     EMPORIO  ARMANI  brand  watches  increased  28% over the prior year to $8.6
     million during the First Quarter.

o    International   sales   continued  to  show  strong   growth   despite  the
     strengthening  of the U.S.  dollar over the Euro  currency.  Overall  sales
     volume growth increased  approximately  15% during the First Quarter.  In a
     stable Euro  currency  environment  relative to the first  quarter of 1999,
     sales volume growth would have been approximately 28%.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>
o    The Company operated 35 outlet and 17 retail stores at the end of the First
     Quarter  compared to 29 outlet and 11 retail stores at the end of the Prior
     Year  Quarter.  This retail store  expansion,  as well as increases in same
     store sales, also positively impacted sales.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Fueling top line sales growth during the First Quarter was (a) a 59% increase in
the Company's  domestic other accessory  product lines,  primarily  handbags and
other FOSSIL branded leather products, (b) sales of $4.3 million from the launch
of  the  DKNY  licensed  watch  line  and  (c)  a 46%  increase  in  sales  from
Company-owned  stores.  Sales  volume  increases  during the First  Quarter were
partially  offset by  decreases  in the  Company's  private  label  watch  line.
Management  anticipates sales volume growth of 20% or more over the remainder of
2000 from  increased  sales of existing  product lines and businesses as well as
new product lines scheduled to be launched.

Gross  Profit.  Gross  profit  margins  increased  from  51.2% in the Prior Year
Quarter to 51.8% in the First  Quarter.  The  increase is  primarily  due to the
positive  gross margin  influence  from a higher sales mix of licensed  designer
watches and sales from Company-owned  stores. In addition,  gross profit margins
were  favorably   impacted  from  higher  production  levels  in  the  Company's
foreign-based  assembly  facilities.  These positive  influences  were partially
offset  by  the  impact  of  the  increase  in  sales  of  leather  goods  which
historically  generate  gross profit  margins below the  Company's  consolidated
average margins.  Management believes the Company's gross profit margins for the
remainder of 2000 will be equal to, or  marginally  above,  the levels  achieved
during 1999.

Operating  Expenses.  The  aggregate  increase  in  operating  expenses  was due
primarily to costs necessary to support increased sales volumes.  Total selling,
general and administrative  expenses as a percentage of net sales,  increased in
the First  Quarter  compared  to the  Prior  Year  Quarter.  This  increase  was
primarily due to increased  display cost  incurred in  connection  with the DKNY
licensed watch line launch,  the continued  roll-out of leather handbag fixtures
and costs  associated  with the addition of 12 new  Company-owned  stores opened
following the Prior Year Quarter.  Additionally,  increased  brand  advertising,
primarily   through  certain  internet  portal   relationships,   and  continued
enhancement of the Company's web site added to the operating expense  increases.
Management  believes the operating  expense ratio for the remainder of 2000 will
approximate 1999 levels with operating expense leveraging  improving  throughout
the remainder of the year.

Other Income (Expense).  Other income (expense)  increased  favorably during the
First Quarter as compared to the Prior Year Quarter.  The increase was primarily
due to (a) increased  interest income generated from increased cash levels,  (b)
increased royalty revenues  generated on certain FOSSIL brand license agreements
and (c) a decrease in exchange losses realized.  These increases in other income
were partially offset by increases in minority  interest expense  generated as a
result   of   increased   profitability   from  the   Company's   majority-owned
subsidiaries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company's  general  business  operations  historically  have  not  required
substantial  cash needs  during  the first  several  months of its fiscal  year.
Generally,  starting  in the second  quarter the  Company's  cash needs begin to
increase,  typically reaching its peak in the September-November time frame. The
additional  cash  needs  have  generally  been to finance  the  accumulation  of
inventory and the build-up in accounts receivable. During the First Quarter, the
Company increased its cash holdings and short-term  marketable securities to $97
million in comparison to $69 million at the end of Prior Year Quarter.  However,
the Company's cash and short-term  marketable  securities  position decreased by
$4.7 million from the end of 1999 due to the  accumulation  of inventory and the
build-up  in  accounts  receivable  during the First  Quarter.  The  increase in
inventory  was a result of (a) DKNY  inventory  necessary to support the product
launch and reorders,  (b) an increase in EMPORIO ARMANI  inventory levels due to
lower levels of inventory at the end of 1999 and (c)  increases in the number of
Company-owned  stores. The build-up in accounts receivable was primarily related
to the timing of First  Quarter  sales  inclusive  of the DKNY watch line launch
which took place in late  February  through  March.  During the last half of the
First Quarter, the Company's domestic-based sales alone increased $17 million as
compared to the last half of the Prior Year Quarter.  Management anticipates the
accounts  receivable  percentage increase in comparison to prior year comparable
periods to more closely approximate the applicable sales percentage increases by
the end of the Company's  second quarter.  At the end of the First Quarter,  the
Company had working capital of $165 million  compared to working capital of $120
million  and $155  million at the end of the Prior Year  Quarter and fiscal 1999
year-end,  respectively.  The  Company  had  outstanding  borrowings  of only $5
million against

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

its combined $43 million bank credit facilities at the end of the First Quarter.
Management  believes that cash flow from operations  combined with existing cash
on hand will be sufficient to satisfy its working  capital  expenditures  for at
least the next eighteen months.

Forward-Looking Statements

Included  within  management's  discussion of the Company's  operating  results,
"forward-looking  statements"  were  made  within  the  meaning  of the  Private
Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 regarding  expectations for 2000. The
actual   results  may  differ   materially   from  those   expressed   by  these
forward-looking  statements.  Significant factors that could cause the Company's
2000  operating  results  to  differ   materially  from   management's   current
expectations  include,  among  other  items,  significant  changes  in  consumer
spending  patterns or preferences,  competition in the Company's  product areas,
international  in comparison to domestic sales mix,  changes in foreign currency
valuations in relation to the United  States  dollar,  principally  the European
Union's Euro and Japanese Yen, an inability of  management to control  operating
expenses in relation to net sales without  damaging the  long-term  direction of
the Company and the risks and  uncertainties  set forth in the Company's current
report on Form 8-K dated March 30, 1999.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a  multinational  enterprise,  the  Company  is exposed to changes in foreign
currency  exchange  rates.  The Company employs a variety of practices to manage
this market risk,  including its operating and financing  activities  and, where
deemed  appropriate,  the  use  of  derivative  financial  instruments.  Forward
contracts have been utilized by the Company to mitigate  foreign  currency risk.
The Company's most significant foreign currency risks relate to the Euro and the
Japanese Yen. The Company uses derivative  financial  instruments  only for risk
management purposes and does not use them for speculation or for trading.  There
were  no  significant  changes  in how  the  Company  managed  foreign  currency
transactional  exposures  during  the  First  Quarter  and  management  does not
anticipate  any  significant  changes in such  exposures or in the strategies it
employs to manage such exposures in the near future.
