ITEM 1.        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

   1.          GENERAL

               The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
               been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q
               and therefore do not include all information and footnotes
               necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results
               of operations and changes in cash flows in conformity with
               generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited
               consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
               with the audited financial statements and related notes included
               in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
               January 31, 1996. In the opinion of management, the unaudited
               consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
               necessary for a fair presentation for the interim period
               presented and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring
               nature. The results of operations for the nine months ended
               October 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
               which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

               Certain amounts of the prior year have been reclassified to
               conform to current year presentations.

               In February  1996, Supreme International Corporation's (the 
               "Company") Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase 
               program for up to 500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock.
               See schedule related to treasury stock in Note 5.

4.             EARNINGS PER SHARE

               Earnings per common share and common equivalent share were
               computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
               shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding
               during the year. The number of common shares was increased by the
               number of shares issuable on the exercise of warrants and stock
               options when the market price of the common stock exceeds the
               exercise price of the warrants or options. This increase in the
               number of common shares was reduced by the number of common
               shares that are assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds
               from the exercise of the warrants or options; those purchases
               were assumed to have been made at the average price of common
               stock during the year. Earnings per share assuming full dilution
               was determined in the same manner as earnings per common share
               and common equivalent share except that the period-end stock
               price was used.

               stock  and additional paid-in capital  as a result of the stock

6.       ACQUISITION

                 On September 6, 1996, the Company acquired certain assets of
               Munsingwear, Inc. ("Munsingwear") a manufacturer of men's casual
               apparel for approximately $18.6 million. The assets purchased
               consisted of the intellectual property and other rights related
               to Munsingwear's retail and golf businesses. The acquisition was
               accounted for under the purchase method and was financed from
               borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement (see
               "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section).

               The following unaudited information presents the Company's pro
               forma operating data for the nine months ended October 31, 1996
               and 1995 as if the Munsingwear acquisition had been consummated
               at the beginning of each of the periods presented. It includes
               certain adjustments to the historical consolidated statements of
               income of the Company to give effect to the acquisition of
               intangible trademarks and associated rights, license agreements
               and other acquired net assets, the related issuance of additional
               indebtedness by the Company and the increased amortization of
               the intangible assets. The unaudited pro forma financial data are
               not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that
               would have been achieved had the transactions reflected therein
               been consummated prior to the period in which they were
               completed, or that might be attained in the future.

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

                  The following discussion contains, in addition to historical 
               information, forward looking statements with respect to Supreme
               International Corporation (the "Company") that involve risks and
               uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
               materially. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
               difference include, but are not limited to, risks related to
               fashion trends; the retail industry; reliance on key customers;
               contract manufacturing; foreign sourcing; imports and import
               restrictions; competition; seasonality; rapid expansion of
               business; dependence on key personnel and other factors discussed
               in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
               Commission.


               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

               THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31,1996 AS COMPARED TO THREE
               AND NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1995 .

                       Net sales for the three and nine months ended October 31,
               1996 increased $10,805,218 and $18,960,750, respectively, to
               $46,021,405 and $114,388,098 from $35,216,187 and $95,427,348 for
               the three and nine months ended October 31, 1995, respectively.
               Such increases are attributable to the broad-based growth in the
               Company's product lines to existing customers, the addition of
               new customers and the acquisitions of both Jolem Imports, Inc.
               ("Jolem") and Munsingwear.

                       Cost of goods sold increased to $36,034,431 and
               $89,603,136, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
               October 31, 1996 from $26,748,858 and $71,899,120 for the three
               and nine months ended October 31, 1995, reflecting the increased
               level of sales. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased
               to 78.3% in the three months ended October 31, 1996 from 76.0% in
               the three months ended October 31, 1995 and to 78.3% for the nine
               months ended October 31, 1996 from 75.3% in the nine months ended
               October 31, 1995. Gross profits were $9,986,974 (21.7% of sales)
               and $24,784,962 (21.7% of sales) in the three and nine month
               period ended October 31, 1996, as compared to $8,467,329 (24.0%
               of sales) and $23,528,228 (24.7% of sales) in the three and nine
               month period ended October 31, 1995. Both the increase in cost of
               sales and the decrease in gross profits is mainly attributable to
               increased sales of low-margin inventory coupled with higher
               shipping costs.

                       Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
               $850,953 or 15.7% from $5,428,887 in the three months ended
               October 31, 1995 to $6,279,840 in the three month period ended
               October 31, 1996 and by $2,045,739 or 13.8% from $14,855,153 for
               the nine months ended October 31, 1995 to $16,900,892 for the
               nine months ended October 31, 1996. This increase was due to
               increased levels of business as well as partial absorption of
               certain operating expenses as a result of the acquisition of
               Jolem in May 1996. Additionally, during the three months ended
               October 31, 1996 the Company continued to integrate the
               purchasing, marketing and design functions of Munsingwear into
               its operations in Miami. Such integration directly impacted the
               selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter. As
               a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative
               expenses were 13.6% and 14.8% for the three and nine month period
               ended October 31, 1996 and 15.4% and 15.6% for the three and nine
               months ended October 31, 1995.

                       Interest expense decreased to $522,885 and to $975,879 
               for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1996 from
               $609,897 and $2,011,913 in the three and nine months ended
               October 31, 1995. This decrease was due to the repayment of a
               portion of the amount outstanding under the Company's $35.0
               million revolving credit agreement with a bank following
               completion by the Company of a public offering in September 1995.
               However, interest expense is expected to increase as a result of
               the additional indebtedness by the Company related to the
               Munsingwear acquisition.

                       Income before taxes for the three and nine months ended
               October 31, 1996 was $3,184,249 and $6,908,191, respectively, as
               compared to income before taxes for the three and nine months
               ended October 31, 1995 of $2,428,545 and $6,661,162,
               respectively. Net income was $1,974,231 and $4,278,173 for the
               three and nine months ended October 31, 1996 representing
               earnings per common share of $0.45 and $0.97, respectively, as
               compared to $1,505,698 and $4,124,399 for the three and nine
               months ended October 31,1995, representing earnings per common
               share of $0.38 and $1.12, respectively. The change in net income
               in the 1996 periods is due to the reasons set forth above. Net
               income per share was computed using the weighted average number
               of common shares outstanding of 4,404,736 and 4,394,735 for the
               three and nine months ended October 31,1996, and 3,958,489 and
               3,691,695 for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1995.

               LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                       The Company has financed its growth in sales and other
               working capital requirements principally from operating cash
               flows and borrowings under a $35.0 million revolving credit
               agreement with a bank (the "Revolving Credit Agreement") and a
               cash advance facility with another bank. The amount available for
               borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement is determined
               pursuant to a formula based upon the levels of eligible accounts
               receivable and finished goods inventory, subject to a maximum of
               $35.0 million. The Revolving Credit Agreement bears interest at
               the bank's prime rate or LIBOR plus 1.5%. Substantially all the
               assets of the Company are pledged as collateral under the
               Revolving Credit Agreement. As of October 31, 1996, $34,485,562
               was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement, and the

                                       7
<PAGE>

               Company had $514,438 available for additional borrowings based on
               eligible receivables and inventory. As of October 31,1996,
               borrowings under the Company's cash advance line were $5,302,305.

                       Cash flows used in operating activities were $7,014,709
               for the nine months ended October 31, 1996 principally
               representing cash provided by net income of $4,278,173, a
               decrease in inventories of $575,504, a net increase in other
               current liabilities of $909,182 and an increase in accounts
               payable and accrued expenses of $5,633,045 offset by cash used to
               finance increases in accounts receivable, other current assets
               and other assets of $17,993,030, $5,373 and $1,108,480,
               respectively. Cash flows used in operating activities were
               $56,340 for the nine months ended October 31,1995 principally
               representing the net result of cash provided by net income of
               $4,124,399 and increases in current liabilities of $1,425,945,
               offset by cash used to finance increases in accounts receivable
               and inventory of $3,028,059 and $2,730,699, respectively.

                       Cash flows used in investing activities were $23,384,670
               for the nine months ended October 31, 1996 principally as a
               result of the acquisition of certain assets of Munsingwear (see
               "Results of Operations") in the amount of $18,616,088 as well as
               the Jolem acquisition in the amount of $3,657,435. Cash flows
               used in investing activities for the nine months ended October
               31, 1995 were $1,052,085, representing normal requirements for
               capital expenditures.

                       Cash flows provided by financing activities were
               $30,918,294 for the nine months ended October 31, 1996, primarily
               as a result of proceeds from long-term debt of $27,517,619 and
               short-term borrowings of $5,302,305 offset by the purchase of
               treasury stock of $1,901,630. During the nine months ended
               October 31,1996, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 184,300
               shares of its common stock in the open market. For the nine
               months ended October 31,1995, cash flows provided by financing
               activities were $885,407, principally due to proceeds from the
               issuance of common stock of $17,571,814 offset by a reduction in
               borrowings under credit facilities and long-term debt of
               $4,943,575 and $11,742,832, respectively. At October 31, 1996,
               the Company had cash of $777,448, as compared to $258,533 at
               January 31, 1996, as a result of the activities described above.

                       The Revolving Credit Agreement contains significant
               financial and operating covenants, including requirements that
               the Company maintain minimum net worth levels and certain
               financial ratios, prohibitions on the ability of the Company to
               incur certain additional indebtedness and restrictions on its
               ability to make capital expenditures, to incur or suffer to exist
               certain liens, to pay dividends or to take certain other
               corporate actions. Amounts will only be available under the
               Revolving Credit Agreement if such financial maintenance and
               other covenants are satisfied and the borrowing base calculation
               (which is based upon the amount of eligible accounts receivable
               and eligible inventory) are satisfied. The Company is currently
               in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit
               Agreement.

                       The Company had working capital of $57,066,106 at October
               31, 1996. Outstanding indebtedness of $34,485,562 is classified
               as long-term debt under the Revolving Credit Agreement and
               therefore is not included for purposes of calculating working
               capital. At January 31, 1996 the Company had working capital of
               $47,760,378 with outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving
               Credit Agreement of $6,967,943. The Company's current ratio was
               4.8 at October 31, 1996 compared to 17.3 at January 31, 1996.

                                       8

                       The Company maintains three facilities with a combined
               limit of $33.0 million for letters of credit. The facilities
               further provide the Company with an aggregate sublimit of $7.2
               million for advances to refinance letters of credit up to 120
               days. These facilities are secured by the consignment of
               merchandise in transit under each letter of credit. Indebtedness
               under these facilities bears interest at variable rates
               substantially equal to the lenders' specified base lending rates
               plus a 1.5% per annum acceptance commission fee. Letters of
               credit under these facilities totaled $15,128,769 and $11,758,074
               as of October 31, 1996 and January 31,1996, respectively.

                       In addition to the Munsingwear acquisition discussed in 
               Note 6, the Company acquired all the assets of Jolem, a
               Miami-based manufacturer and distributor of men's and boys'
               casual apparel in May 1996.

                       Management believes that the combination of the borrowing
               availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement, existing
               working capital and funds anticipated to be generated from
               operating activities will be sufficient to meet the Company's
               anticipated operating and capital needs for the foreseeable
               future.

               EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

                       The Company does not believe that inflation significantly
               affected its results of operations for the nine months ended
               October 31, 1996 and 1995.

                       The Company's purchases from foreign suppliers are made 
               in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the Company, to date, has not been
               materially adversely affected by foreign currency fluctuations.
