         SUPREME INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

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, 1997. 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 three months ended April 30, 1997 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the
         entire fiscal year.

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

         RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"),
         EARNINGS PER SHARE. The statement is effective for financial statements
         for periods ending after December 15, 1997, and changes the method in
         which earnings per share will be determined. Adoption of this statement
         by the Company will not have a material impact on earnings per share.

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129 ("SFAS No. 129"),
         DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION ABOUT CAPITAL STRUCTURE. The statement is
         effective for financial statements for periods ending after December
         15, 1997, and requires explanation of the pertinent rights and
         privileges of the various securities outstanding. Adoption of this
         statement by the Company will not have a material impact on its
         consolidated financial statements.

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.

6.       ACQUISITIONS

         On September 6, 1996, the Company acquired certain assets of
         Munsingwear, Inc. ("Munsingwear") a manufacturer of men's casual
         apparel for approximately $18,400,000. The assets acquired consisted of
         brand names including Grand Slam, Grand Slam Tour, Penguin Sport, and
         other intangible assets. The purchase price amounted to approximately
         $19,800,000, which included $1,400,000 of transaction costs, and was
         primarily allocated to working capital and intangible assets as
         follows: inventories $300,000; accounts receivable $300,000; and brand
         names $19,200,000. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase
         method of accounting and was financed with borrowings from the
         revolving credit agreement (See Liquidity and Capital Resources).

                                      -5-

         On May 6, 1996, the Company acquired all of the assets of Jolem
         Imports, Inc. ("Jolem") a Miami based manufacturer of men's and boys'
         casual apparel. The purchase price amounted to approximately
         $3,700,000, and was primarily allocated to working capital and
         intangible assets as follows: inventories $1,800,000; accounts
         receivable $1,500,000; and brand names $400,000. The acquisition was
         accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

         The following unaudited information presents the Company's pro forma
         operating data for the period ended April 30, 1996 as if the
         acquisitions had been consummated at the beginning of the period
         presented. It includes certain adjustments to the historical
         consolidated statements of operations of the Company to give effect to
         the acquisition of brand names 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 MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
         APRIL 30, 1996

                  Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 1997 increased
         $11,033,293 or 29% to $48,840,713 from $37,807,420 for the three months
         ended April 30, 1996. Such increase is mainly attributable to the
         Munsingwear and Jolem acquisitions. Net sales were $6,840,642 and
         $2,427,324 for Munsingwear and Jolem, respectively, for the quarter
         ended April 30, 1997, with the rest of the increase representing
         existing business. Since the acquisitions of both Munsingwear and
         Jolem occurred subsequent to the quarter ended April 30, 1996, there
         are no comparable sales for that period.

                  Cost of sales increased to $37,000,939 for the three months
         ended April 30, 1997 from $29,163,236 for the three months ended April
         30, 1996 reflecting the increased level of sales. As a percentage of
         sales, cost of sales decreased to 75.8% for the three months ended
         April 30, 1997 from 77.1% for the three months ended April 30, 1996.
         Gross profits were $11,839,774 (24.2% of sales) for the three months
         ended April 30, 1997, as compared to $8,644,184 (22.9% of sales) for
         the three months ended April 30, 1996. The increase in the gross profit
         as a percentage of sales is principally due to an increase in sales of
         higher margin merchandise resulting from the introduction of new brand
         names coupled with better margins on sales of discounted merchandise.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>


                  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
         $1,812,320 or 31.1% from $5,828,191 for the three months ended April
         30,1996 to $7,640,511 for the three months ended April 30, 1997. As a
         percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were
         15.6% for the three months ended April 30, 1997 and 15.4% for the three
         months ended April 30, 1996. The increase in the selling, general and
         administrative expenses is mainly attributable to the increase in
         personnel, travel and advertising costs required by the increased
         levels of sales.

                  Interest expense increased to $704,455 for the three months
         ended April 30, 1997 from $213,063 for the three months ended April 30,
         1996. This increase is as a result of the additional indebtedness by
         the Company related to the acquisitions discussed in Note 6.

                  Income before taxes for the three months ended April 30, 1997
         was $3,494,808 compared to income before taxes for the three months
         ended April 30, 1996 of $2,602,930. Net income for the three months
         ended April 30, 1997 was $2,148,541( $0.49 per share) as compared to
         net income for the three months ended April 30, 1996 of $1,614,930 (
         $0.37 per share). Net income per share was computed using the weighted
         average number of common shares outstanding of 4,393,053 and 4,385,923
         at April 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

         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"). 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 April
         30, 1997, $25,905,978 was outstanding under the Revolving Credit
         Agreement, and the Company had $9,094,022 available for additional
         borrowings based on eligible receivables and inventory.

                  Cash flows used in operating activities were $3,149,563 for
         the three months ended April 30, 1997 principally representing cash
         provided by net income of $2,148,541 and an increase in accounts
         payable and accrued expenses of $1,786,597 offset by cash used to
         finance increases in accounts receivable of $5,800,952 and an increase
         in inventories of $1,156,125. The increase in accounts receivable is
         directly attributable to the increase in sales for the period. For the
         three months ended April 30, 1996 cash flows provided by operating
         activities were $28,163 primarily consisting of cash provided by net
         income of $1,614,930, a decrease in inventories of $2,916,575 and
         increases in current liabilities of $4,831,988, offset by cash used to
         finance increases in accounts receivable of $9,580,279.

                  Cash flows used in investing activities were $322,181 and
         $77,289 for the three months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996,
         respectively, representing normal requirements for capital
         expenditures.

                  Cash flows provided by financing activities were $3,680,151
         for the three months ended April 30, 1997 primarily as a result of
         proceeds from long-term debt of $12,553,481 and borrowings under credit
         facilities of $2,853,474 offset by payment on long-term debt of
         $11,784,304. For the three months ended April 30, 1996, cash flows
         provided by financing activities were $60,364 principally due to
         proceeds from long-term debt of $ 1,961,994 offset by purchase of
         treasury stock of $1,901,630. During the three months ended April 30,
         1996, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 184,300 shares of its
         common stock in the open market. At April 30, 1997, the Company had
         cash of $964,205, as compared to $755,798 at January 31, 1997, 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 $25,720,000 and $23,575,000
         at April 30, 1997 and January 31, 1997, respectively. The outstanding
         balance under the Revolving Credit Agreement was $25,905,978 and
         $25,136,801 at April 30, 1997 and January 31, 1997, respectively and
         was classified as a current liability as it will mature in October
         1997. The Company intends to refinance the Revolving Credit Agreement
         prior to its maturity. The Company's current ratio was 1.57 at April
         30, 1997 compared to 1.58 at January 31, 1997.


                  The Company maintains three facilities with a combined limit
         of $37.0 million for letters of credit. The facilities further provide
         the Company with an aggregate sub limit 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 $16,951,608 and $16,978,256 as
         of April 30, 1997 and January 31,1997, respectively.

                  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.

                  During Fiscal 1998, the Company intends to consolidate its
         administrative offices and warehouse and distribution facilities into a
         new 238,000 square foot facility in Miami. The Company is party to an
         agreement to purchase this facility which is being built to the
         Company's specifications. The Company is seeking to finance the
         facility with a financial institution in a transaction where the
         financial institution will assume the Company's obligation to purchase
         the facility and will then enter into a long term lease with the
         Company for the facility. The Company anticipates that the lease will
         have an initial term of five years and a minimum annual rental of
         approximately $1,300,000.

         EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

                  The Company does not believe that inflation significantly
         affected its results of operations for the three months ended April 30,
         1997 and 1996.

                  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.
