                                   (UNAUDITED)


The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sunglass Hut
International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, omit or condense
certain footnotes and other information normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accounting policies followed for interim financial reporting are the same as
those disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended
February 3, 1996 which are included in Form 10-K. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods reported
have been made. Results of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
fiscal year ending February 1, 1997.

In June 1996, as a result of a 144A private offering made to certain qualified
institutional investors, the Company issued $115 million principal amount of
Convertible Subordinated Notes (the "Notes"). The offering was made for the
purpose of refinancing outstanding senior indebtedness and to finance the
Company's expansion plans. The Notes bear interest at 5 1/4%, payable
semi-annually, and mature June 2003. The Notes are subordinated to all existing
and future indebtedness of the Company, and are convertible at any time 90 days
after issuance into Company common stock at $30.25 per share.

As of June 27, 1996, the Company decreased its commitment under the unsecured
revolving credit facility with NationsBank of Florida, National Association, to
$75 million.

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

GENERAL

Sunglass Hut International, Inc. is the world's largest specialty retailer of
sunglasses with 1,971 worldwide locations as of August 3, 1996. The Company has
expanded rapidly since opening its first store in 1971, and continued its
expansion in the first six months of 1996 by opening 244 sunglass stores, 10
EyeX optical and 10 Watch Station stores. The Company's business strategy is to
combine the operating efficiencies, extensive product assortment and everyday
low prices of category dominant retailers with the level of customer service and
ambiance characteristic of specialty retailers. The compactibility of the
Company's products allows it to use a wide variety of sales location formats,
including malls, airports, on-street sites, licensed departments within
department stores and catalogs. A typical store carries approximately 1,000
stock keeping units.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's short-term cash needs are primarily for working capital to support
its inventory requirements and new store additions. The Company's long-term
liquidity requirements relate principally to the maturity of existing revolving
credit facility borrowings in December 1998, operating lease commitments and
continued store expansion. The credit facility includes up to $10 million in
letters of credit. Borrowings under the credit facility generally bear interest
at a floating rate equal to (i) the prime lending rate or the federal funds
effective rate plus 0.50% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.00%. In June 1996, the Company
issued $115 million principal amount of Convertible Subordinated Notes, due June
2003, for the purpose of refinancing senior indebtedness to reduce interest
costs and for financing expansion plans. Subsequently, the Company reduced its
commitment under the NationsBank revolving credit facility to $75 million.

Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, outstanding borrowings
under the credit facility typically peak during the first and third fiscal
quarters as the Company finances inventory purchases in advance of the Company's
highest sales periods. See "Seasonality and Quarterly Results." As of August 3,
1996, the Company had $4.8 million in letters of credit outstanding which were
maintained as security for performance under the Company's executive office
lease and to service other debt.

Net cash used in operating activities was $15.1 million for the first six months
of fiscal 1996 compared to $1.7 million for the same period in fiscal 1995. The
difference between the Company's net income and operating cash flow in fiscal
1996 was primarily attributable to the Company's $51.3 million investment in
inventory and other current assets and reductions of accounts payable of $7.0
million, partially offset by $11.7 million of non-cash charges for depreciation
and amortization. Inventory levels have increased $41.6 million since 1995
year-end to provide for seasonal demand, store growth and higher levels of
safety stock during the Company's consolidation of warehouses to a single
location in Atlanta. The Atlanta warehouse became fully operational in August
1996.

Net cash used in investing activities was $36.7 million for the first six months
of fiscal 1996 compared to $31.3 million for the same period last year. The
fiscal 1996 cash flow primarily reflects capital expenditures related to new
store expansion and the renovation of existing stores.

                SUNGLASS HUT INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Net cash provided by financing activities was $53.2 million for the first six
months of fiscal 1996 compared to $33.8 million for the same period last year.
The fiscal 1996 cash flow reflects the net proceeds of $112.2 million from the
issuance of 5 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures in June 1996. The fiscal
1995 cash flow reflects the proceeds of $53.8 million from a secondary offering
of 4.2 million shares of the Company's common stock completed in February 1995.
The net proceeds from the offerings in 1996 and 1995 were used to repay
approximately $96.5 and $41.3 million, respectively, of indebtedness under the
NationsBank revolving credit facility, and for other working capital
requirements.

Management believes that cash provided by operations together with borrowing
availability under the Company's revolving credit facility and the proceeds from
the 144A private offering of Convertible Subordinated Notes will be sufficient
to fund estimated capital expenditures associated with the Company's planned
opening of approximately 280 more stores in fiscal 1996 and other working
capital requirements through at least fiscal 1996. The Company estimates that
its typical capital expenditures to open new in-line stores range from $75,000
to $125,000 for fixtures and leasehold improvements, while the costs for kiosk
locations range from $25,000 to $40,000. In addition, initial inventory for a
new store ranges from $30,000 for a small kiosk to over $50,000 for a large
in-line store.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED AUGUST 3, 1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JULY 29, 1995

Net sales increased $39.0 million, or 30.6%, to $166.5 million during the
quarter ended August 3, 1996 compared to $127.5 million for the same period of
fiscal 1995. Approximately 83% of this increase was attributable to sales from
new stores opened and acquired during the second quarter of fiscal 1996 (and
fiscal 1995 to the extent not reflected in comparable store sales increases),
while an increase in comparable store sales of 4.9% accounted for approximately
17% of this increase. The comparable store sales increase was primarily due to
increased unit sales of the Company's sunglass offerings.

Gross profit increased $18.0 million, or 29.7%, to $78.6 million during the
quarter ended August 3, 1996 compared to $60.6 million for the same period of
fiscal 1995 primarily due to the increase in net sales. As a percentage of net
sales, gross profit decreased 0.3% to 47.2% for the quarter ended August 3, 1996
from 47.5% for the quarter ended July 29, 1995. The decrease in gross profit
margin is primarily due to an increase in occupancy expenses as a result of
higher occupancy costs related to the Company's new store expansion, including
expansion into international markets. Management expects that due to its
increasing international expansion, coupled with the Company's entry into the
retail watch industry (which has lower gross profit rates than the Company's
sunglass specialty units), future gross profit rates will continue to decline
when compared to 1995.

Operating expenses increased $9.2 million, or 32.1%, during the quarter ended
August 3, 1996 compared to the same period of fiscal 1995. This increase is
primarily due to operating expenses associated with the operations and
management of new stores opened and acquired in fiscal 1996 and 1995. Operating
expenses as a percentage of net sales were 22.7% in 1996 and 22.4% in 1995.

Depreciation and leasehold amortization expense increased $1.5 million, or
39.0%, to $5.4 million during the quarter ended August 3, 1996 compared to $3.9
million for the same period of fiscal 1995, primarily due to new store growth.

                SUNGLASS HUT INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Operating margins during the second quarter of 1996 were negatively impacted by
the consolidation of our Australian operations which resulted in a decrease in
sales leverage due to seasonally lower sales in that market during this time of
year. Excluding the impact of the Australian operations, operating margins were
either the same or improved when compared to the same period last year.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported net income of $20.0 million
during the quarter ended August 3, 1996 compared to $8.4 million for the same
period of fiscal 1995.

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1996 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1995

Net sales increased $74.2 million, or 34.5%, to $289.3 million during the first
six months of fiscal 1996 compared to $215.1 million for the same period of
fiscal 1995. Sales from new stores opened and acquired during the first six
months of fiscal 1996 (and fiscal 1995 to the extent not reflected in comparable
store sales increases) accounted for 81% of this increase while comparable store
sales of 6.0% accounted for 19% of this increase. The increase was primarily due
to increased unit sales of the Company's sunglass offerings.

Gross profit increased $33.2 million, or 33.8%, to $131.4 million during the
first six months of fiscal 1996 compared to $98.2 million for the same period of
fiscal 1995 primarily due to the increase in net sales. As a percentage of net
sales, gross profit was 45.4% in 1996 and 45.6% in 1995. The decrease in gross
profit margin is primarily due to an increase in occupancy expenses as a result
of higher occupancy costs related to the Company's new store expansion,
including expansion into international markets. Management expects that due to
its increasing international expansion, coupled with the Company's entry into
the retail watch industry (which has lower gross profit rates than the Company's
sunglass specialty units), future gross profit rates will continue to decline
when compared to 1995.

Operating expenses increased $18.2 million, or 34.4%, during the first six
months of fiscal 1996 compared to the same period of fiscal 1995. This increase
is primarily due to operating expenses associated with the operation and
management of new stores opened and acquired in fiscal 1996. Operating expenses
as a percentage of net sales were 24.7% in both 1996 and 1995.

Depreciation and leasehold amortization expense increased approximately $3.1
million, or 41.9%, to $10.5 million during the first six months of fiscal 1996
compared to $7.4 million for the same period of fiscal 1995. This increase is
primarily due to new store growth.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported earnings of $0.49 per share,
or $27.2 million, during the first six months of fiscal 1996 compared to $0.25
per share or $13.4 million (inclusive of nonrecurring acquisition-related costs
and expenses of approximately $10.1 million) for the same period of 1995.


SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS

Historically, the Company's operations have been seasonal, with highest net
sales and net income occurring in the second fiscal quarter (reflecting
increased demand for sunglasses during the spring and summer months) and, to a
lesser extent, the fourth fiscal quarter (reflecting increased demand during the
year-end holiday selling season).

The Company's results of operations may also fluctuate from quarter to quarter
as a result of the amount and timing of sales contributed by new stores and the
integration of new stores into the operations of the Company, as well as other
factors. The addition of a large number of new stores can therefore
significantly affect results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis.
