         in the Biscayne Apparel, Inc., ("Company") 1997 Annual Report
         on Form 10-K.

         The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the
         accounts of the parent company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
         Biscayne Apparel International, Inc. ("BAII"), and M&L International,
         Inc. ("M&L") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Unidex Garments
         (Philippines), Inc., Watersports Garment Manufacturing, Inc., Teri
         Outerwear Manufacturing, Inc., GES Sportswear Manufacturing Corp. and
         M&L International (H.K.) Limited. As of March 1, 1996, Unidex,
         Watersports, Teri, and GES ceased operations due to operating losses
         caused by labor increases and production inefficiencies. Through
         December 31, 1997, BAII operated through two divisions, Andy Johns
         Fashions International ("Andy Johns") and Varon, and its wholly-owned
         subsidiaries, Mackintosh of New England Co., ("Mackintosh") Mackintosh
         (U.K.) Limited, and Amy Industries De Honduras, S.A. de C.V. As of
         January 1, 1998, the assets, liabilities and operations of Andy Johns
         were contributed by BAII into Mackintosh. All material intercompany
         balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts
         included in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to
         conform with the 1998 presentation.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant
         assumptions and estimates relate to sales allowances, inventory
         reserves, and recoverability of assets. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

2.       In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
         financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
         recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
         statements.

3.       The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31,
         1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the full year.

4.       Effective for the year ending December 31, 1997, the Company
         adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
         "Earnings Per Share" ("FAS No. 128") which requires the
         presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS"), and
         diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS").  Basic EPS
         excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income
         (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares
         outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the dilutive
         effect if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
         were exercised or converted.  FAS No. 128 requires the
         restatement of all prior period earnings per share data
         presented including interim periods.

         The numerator and denominator of the basic and dilutive per share
         computations are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

                                                 For the Three Months

         The Company has not included potential common shares in the Diluted EPS
         computation as the result is antidilutive.

         Options and warrants to purchase 1,311,838 and 1,344,568 shares of
         common stock at prices ranging from $0.75 to $2.44 per share were
         outstanding at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These shares were
         not included in the computation of Diluted EPS because the options'
         exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common
         shares. The options, which expire from June 1997 to November 2007, were
         still outstanding at the end of each respective period.

5.       Inventories at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 are
         comprised of the following:

                                     March 31, 1998  December 31, 1997

6.       Included in accounts payable at March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 are
         the Company's obligations under outstanding letters of credit of
         $1,722,000 and $1,474,000, respectively.

7.       On March 25, 1998 Biscayne amended its Loan Agreement to
         reduce the Revolver Agreement to $39,000,000; adjust the
         interest rate for the Revolver Agreement borrowings to prime
         plus 1.5%, require fees of $350,000 for the period March 1998
         to March 1999 and waive violations of certain covenants during
         the 1997 period.  Additionally, if certain Revolver borrowing
         levels are exceeded beginning in the 1998 fourth quarter, the
         interest rates for the Revolver are increased to prime plus 3%
         and the interest rate for the Term Loan is increased to prime
         plus 3% or LIBOR plus 5.5%.
 
8.       In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
         131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
         Information" was issued, effective for the fiscal year ending
         December 31, 1998.  Earlier adoption for interim periods is
         not required, and the Company is currently evaluating the
         financial statement impact.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 VERSUS QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997:

Net sales for the first quarter of 1998 decreased to $11,311,000 from the first
quarter 1997 sales of $14,849,000. The 24% decrease was due to soft spring sales
at all of the Company's subsidiaries, most notably Mackintosh. First quarter
sales are historically low, due to the Company's seasonal business.

Consolidated sales backlog at March 31, 1998 was $52,461,000, compared to
$65,420,000 at March 31, 1997. The decrease of 20% is largely due to decreased
sales backlog from M&L and Mackintosh.

Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, was 79% versus 74% for the
quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase is mainly
attributable to higher costs of production at Varon.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") decreased to $4,559,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $4,947,000 in the 1997
first quarter. This 8% decrease results from further cost reductions,
particularly in Mackintosh, and lower sales volume.

During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Consumer Product Safety Commission
("CPSC") issued 1998 rules for the manufacturing of all cotton thermal and long
underwear products. These rules have had two effects: i) sleepwear manufacturers
are now able to produce their products in cotton, and ii) such cotton sleepwear
products now have to be "tight fitting". As a result of these regulations, the
Company expects significant changes in Varon's competitive


                                       7

<PAGE>   9



environment related to such products. The impact on Varon's market position is
unknown. Varon could face the following: i) a decrease in market share due to
increased competition from sleepwear manufacturers, and ii) a potential market
shift, from customers who previously purchased sleepwear when it was not
required to be "tight fitting", now purchasing other products. Alternatively,
Varon may be able to increase its market share of newly-approved cotton
sleepwear, due to its current expertise in manufacturing, if it can take away
market share from heretofore non-cotton sleepwear product sales. These
regulations could impact up to one-third of Varon's revenues.

OshKosh B'Gosh, Inc. ("OshKosh") notified M&L during the second quarter of 1997
that it will not renew its outerwear license with M&L after May 31, 1998. As
part of a strategy adopted over the last several years, OshKosh will sell
directly to retailers. For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, M&L's
sales of OshKosh outerwear were $3,203,000 and $2,066,000, respectively, and for
the year ended December 31, 1997 M&L's sales of OshKosh outerwear were
$19,888,000. M&L's strategy is to replace the OshKosh brand sales of outerwear
with several well-known brand name children's outerwear and activewear licenses.
It is unknown whether M&L's strategy will be successful in replacing such levels
of OshKosh sales and related margins in the future.

The apparel industry is subject to substantial cyclical variation, with
purchases of apparel and related goods tending to decline during recessionary
periods when disposable income is low. This could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business.

Certain information included herein contains forward-looking statements which
are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements. Those risks include, but are not limited to,
product acceptance and availability, changes in the level of consumer demand
and/or spending, fashion trends, weather patterns, further governmental
regulations, etc. All forward-looking statements should be considered in light
of these risks and uncertainties.

OTHER

Interest and other expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased to
$660,000 from $555,000 for the comparable quarter of 1997. The increase is
primarily due to higher borrowings incurred during 1998, due to higher inventory
levels.

Interest and other income decreased to $4,000 during the first quarter of 1998,
compared to $13,000 in 1997. The decline is primarily due to the final payment
in 1997 of a small note receivable and its related interest income.



                                       8
<PAGE>   10



INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was
affected by valuation allowances related to deferred tax debits and Federal and
state operating loss carryforwards recorded at December 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents were $356,000 and $268,000 at March 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, respectively. At March 31, 1998, the Company's working
capital was $9,487,000, representing a current ratio of 1.43 to 1. This compares
to working capital of $13,944,000 and a current ratio of 1.77 to 1 at December
31, 1997. These changes are due to seasonal reductions of accounts receivable,
increased inventories, increased bank debt and operating losses sustained.

As presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, the decrease of accounts receivable of $5,490,000, the
increase in inventories of $4,274,000 and accounts payable of $1,443,000 and the
decrease in accrued liabilities of $1,798,000 are due to the seasonality of the
Company's operations. On March 31, 1998 the Company repaid $2,000,000 of its
long-term debt.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased to
$154,000 from $124,000 in 1997. The increase is mainly attributable to increased
leasehold improvements at Mackintosh offset by decreased equipment expenditures
at M&L.

The Company expects that cash on hand, cash from operations, and borrowings
under its revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to fund current
operations and to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they become due.

EFFECT OF INFLATION AND SEASONALITY

The Company believes that inflation will not significantly effect its profit
margins, or have a material effect on the prices of other goods and services
used in its business operations. Further, in connection with increases in wool
and cotton costs over the last several years, the Company has increased offshore
production.

Sales of women's and children's outerwear are seasonal. Historically,
Mackintosh, M&L, and Varon have significantly higher revenues in the third and
fourth quarters than in the first and second quarters. Therefore, the results of
any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results which might be
expected during a full year. Additionally, there is a risk inherently related to
the outerwear industry, resulting from consumer reactions to weather patterns,
which have had a material effect on the Company's sales and profitability in the
past.
