Independent Auditors' Report

Lew Magram Ltd.
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lew Magram Ltd. as of
January 4, 1997 and December 30, 1995, and the related statements of
operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows for the year ended January 4,
1997, the six months ended December 30, 1995 and the year ended July 1, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Lew Magram Ltd. as of January
4, 1997 and December 30, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year ended January 4, 1997, the six months ended December 30,
1995 and the year ended July 1, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                                                 Summary of Accounting Policies

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description of Business     The Company is a mail order ladies apparel retailer.

Cash and Cash               The Company considers all highly liquid investments
Equivalents                 purchased with a maturity of three months or less 
                            to be cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities       Effective July 3, 1994, the Company adopted 
                            Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
                            115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
                            and Equity Securities." At January 4, 1997 and
                            December 30, 1995, the Company's investments
                            consist primarily of tax-exempt bonds and money
                            market funds. The investments have been classified
                            as trading securities and are stated at market
                            value with the resulting unrealized gain reflected
                            in other income. Previously, the Company's
                            investments were carried at the lower of aggregate
                            cost or market.

Inventories                 Inventories consisting of finished goods are valued 
                            at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
                            market.

Catalogue and               The Company expenses the production costs of
Advertising Expenses        advertising the first time the advertising takes
                            place, except for direct-response advertising,
                            which is capitalized and amortized over its
                            expected period of future benefits.

                            Direct-response advertising consists primarily of
                            mail order catalogues that include order forms for
                            the Company's products. The capitalized costs of
                            the catalogue are amortized over the shipping
                            season of the products appearing in the
                            catalogues, which does not exceed 6 months.

                                                                             8

                                                 Summary of Accounting Policies

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                            The Company has begun a production development
                            program that extends the useful lives of certain
                            production costs over many catalogue seasons.
                            These costs are being amortized on a straight-line
                            basis over 18 months, the estimated useful life,
                            and consist of photography, modeling and color
                            separation costs. The change resulted in an
                            increase to prepaid catalogue expenses of
                            approximately $892,000 for the year ended January
                            4, 1997, $450,000 for the six months ended
                            December 30, 1995 and $-0- for the year ended July
                            1, 1995.

Property, Equipment and     Depreciation and amortization are computed by both
Depreciation                accelerated and straight-line methods based on the
                            estimated useful lives of the assets.

Revenue Recognition         Revenue is recognized at the time merchandise is  
                            shipped to customers. Proceeds received for
                            merchandise not yet shipped are reflected as
                            "customers' unshipped orders," a current
                            liability. In addition, the Company passes on the
                            cost of parcel shipments directly to the customer
                            as part of the postal and handling charge, which
                            is customary in the direct mail industry. This is
                            reflected as a reduction of operating expenses.

                            The company also derives revenue through the
                            rental of their customer mailing list, which is
                            reflected in other income.

Merchandise                 Credits The Company issues merchandise credits for 
                            certain returns of merchandise sold with
                            substantial discounts. Unused credits are
                            periodically written off into income (see Note 7).

                                                                              9

                                                 Summary of Accounting Policies

Income Taxes                The Company elected, with the consent of its 
                            stockholders, to be taxed as an S corporation
                            under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
                            and New York State Franchise Tax Law. The
                            stockholders are required to report the Company's
                            taxable income or loss in their personal income
                            tax returns; accordingly, such income taxes are
                            not reflected in the financial statements. The
                            financial statements include a provision for New
                            York City and New Jersey income taxes since New
                            York City and New Jersey do not recognize S
                            corporation status. New York State imposes a
                            corporate level tax based upon the differential
                            between corporate and individual tax rates, which
                            has been provided for.

                            During the year ended July 1, 1995, the Company
                            adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
                            Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No. 109"), "Accounting
                            for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 is an asset and
                            liability approach that requires the recognition
                            of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
                            expected future tax consequences of events that
                            have been recognized in the Company's financial
                            statements or tax returns. The adoption of the
                            statement did not have a significant impact on the
                            Company's financial position or on its results of
                            operations. Deferred income taxes are immaterial
                            and not recorded by the Company.

                            In connection with the transactions discussed in
                            Note 12, the Company's S corporation status was
                            automatically terminated and the Company will now
                            be taxed as a C corporation. The change in status
                            will not materially affect the Company.

Fiscal                      Year The Company's fiscal year is comprised of 
                            52-53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to
                            December 31. Fiscal 1996 ended on January 4, 1997,
                            which comprised of a 53-week year. The additional
                            week was added in the fourth quarter of this
                            fiscal year.

                            Prior to July 1995, the Company's year-end was
                            comprised of a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on
                            the Saturday closet to June 30. The six-month
                            period ended December 30, 1995 was comprised of 26
                            weeks and, fiscal 1995 ended on July 1, 1995,
                            which comprised of a 52-week year.

                                                                             10

                            The Company had an agreement with the bank under
                            which it may borrow up to $1,000,000 through March
                            1, 1996. Interest on borrowings under the
                            agreement is at 1% over the bank's prime rate. The
                            amount of borrowings is subject to a borrowing
                            base formula consisting of 40% of inventory and
                            75% of mailing list receivables aged under 90 days
                            and is secured by substantially all the assets of
                            the Company. As of December 31, 1995, the
                            outstanding balance under this agreement was
                            $1,000,000 at a current rate of interest of 9.5%.

                            In August 1996, the Company replaced its prior
                            line with a $5,000,000 committed line of credit
                            with Congress Financial Corp. for a term of three
                            years. The agreement provides for borrowings
                            subject to a borrowing base formula consisting of
                            50% of inventory and is secured by substantially
                            all the assets of the Company. Interest on
                            borrowings under the agreement is at 1.5% over the
                            bank's prime rate and is calculated on a minimum
                            borrowing of $2,000,000. As of January 4, 1997,
                            the outstanding balance under this agreement was
                            $1,325,547 at a current rate of interest of 9.75%.
                            The effective interest rate was 14.71%.

     Stockholders           are also the parents of the existing owners, which
                            represented all of the capital stock owned by
                            them, in exchange for a note. The principal amount
                            outstanding at December 31, 1995 was $313,221 at
                            an interest rate of 8.5%. The principal amount, as
                            revised, was payable in annual installments of
                            $104,407 beginning on September 30, 1995. On
                            August 8, 1995, the principal amount outstanding
                            and all accrued interest were subordinated to the
                            term loan outstanding and the bank agreement
                            referred to in Note 2. In December 1996, the
                            former stockholders forgave the debt outstanding
                            to the Company. The forgiveness of debt was
                            recorded as a direct addition to additional
                            paid-in capital.

                                                                             13

                                infantwear and care products. The acquisition
                                is expected to be accounted for as a purchase,
                                with the consideration consisting of the
                                issuance of preferred and common stock.
