                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)
                                 April 30, 2000

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Maxwell Shoe Company
     Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with
     the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
     Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
     required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
     statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only
     of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair
     presentation, have been included. The results of the interim periods
     presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for any other interim period or the full year. These financial
     statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
     notes thereto included in the Company's 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal
     year ended October 31, 1999.

2.   RESTRICTED CASH

     On July 9, 1999, the Company completed a transaction under which the
     Company sold its license to manufacture and distribute Jones New York
     footwear.  The proceeds from the transaction were held for the account of
     the Company by an independent intermediary pending future utilization for
     acquisitions.  Such funds were released from restriction in January 2000.

3.   NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Basic income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
     common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is
     computed based on basic shares outstanding increased by incremental shares
     assumed issued for dilutive common stock equivalents in the form of stock
     options.

4.   ACCOUNTINGS PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for
     Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation (the Interpretation).
     This Interpretation clarifies how companies should apply the Accounting
     Principles Board's Opinion No. 25, Accounting For Stock Issued to
     Employees.  At the present time, there are no awards granted by the Company
     which would result in an adjustment at July 1, 2000 as a result of this
     Interpretation.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
     Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.
     SAB (101 clarifies the SEC staff's views on applying generally accepted
     accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.  In
     March 2000, the SEC issued an amendment, SAB 101A, which deferred the
     effective date of SAB 101.  The Company will adopt SAB 101 in the second
     quarter of 2000 in accordance with the amendment.  The adoption of this SAB
     is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial
     statements.

</TABLE>
Three Months Ended April 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 1999

Net sales were $43.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2000 compared
to $36.2 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of 19.3%.
The net sales increase was due to a 21.9% increase in net sales of Mootsies
Tootsies footwear, a 34.0% increase in net sales of Sam & Libby footwear, a
28.6% increase in net sales of private label footwear, and the incremental net
sales of A Line Anne Klein and Dockers Footwear for women.

Gross profits in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 were $11.8 million compared
to $10.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, or 27.3% of net sales as
compared to 29.1% for the same quarter in 1999.  The decrease in gross margin
percentage for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was due to a $.9 million
increase in the reserve for inventory markdown expense attributable to one
category of footwear.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million during the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 due to increased depreciation expense as a result
of the infrastructure improvements placed in service in fiscal year 1999 and
volume related expenses in the current period.  As a percent of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expense for the second quarter of fiscal
2000 was 18.5% compared to 18.7% in the same period in 1999.

                                       6
<PAGE>

Other income was $.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2000 compared
to other income of $.1 million for the same period in the prior year.  In 2000,
the Company's improved cash position resulted in an increase in interest income.

Six Months Ended April 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months ended April 30, 1999

Net sales were $72.3 million for the six months ended April 30, 2000 compared to
$72.2 million for the same period in the prior year, basically flat.  Net sales
increased in the six months ended April 30, 2000 by 10.1% in the net sales of
Mootsies Tootsies footwear, 10.2% in the net sales of private label footwear and
5.0% in the net sales of Sam & Libby footwear.  These increases combined with
the incremental net sales of A Line Anne Klein and Dockers Footwear for women
offset the net sales of Jones New York and closeout footwear during the same
period in fiscal 1999.  Jones New York accounted for $1.0 million in net sales
in the six months ended April 30, 2000, the final liquidation net sales as a
result of the sale of the Jones New York license to Jones Apparel Group Inc. in
July 1999.

Gross profits in the first six months of fiscal 2000 were $18.8 million as
compared to $20.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 1999, or 26.0% of
net sales as compared to 27.7% for the same period in 1999.   The decrease in
gross profit was due to an increase in the reserve for markdowns of $.9 million
in the second quarter of 2000 and $1.0 million in net sales of Jones New York
footwear at no gross margin in the first fiscal quarter of 2000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million during the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 due to increased depreciation expense as a result
of the infrastructure improvements placed in service in fiscal year 1999 and
volume related expenses in the current period.  As a percent of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expense for the first six months of fiscal
2000 was 19.3% compared to 17.7% in the same period in 1999.

The Company has recorded an anticipated effective annual income tax rate of 40%
for fiscal year 2000, the same as fiscal 1999.

At April 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company had unfilled customer orders (backlog)
of $67.7 million and $67.9 million respectively.  Excluding Jones New York and
closeout orders from the April 30, 1999 backlog, the comparable backlogs for
April 30, 2000 and 1999, are $67.7 million and $48.6 million, respectively, an
increase of 39.3%.  The backlog at a particular time is affected by a number of
factors, including seasonality and the scheduling of manufacturing and shipment
of products.  Orders generally may be canceled by customers without financial
penalty.  Accordingly, a comparison of backlog from period to period is not
necessarily meaningful and may not be indicative of eventual actual shipments to
customers.  The Company expects that substantially all of its backlog at April
30, 2000 will be shipped within six months from such date.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has relied upon internally generated cash flows from operations and
borrowings under its revolving credit facility to finance its operations and
expansion.  Net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $.8
million in the six month period ended April 30, 2000, as compared to net cash
provided of $6.6 million for the same period in 1999.  The decrease in cash
provided by operations in the first six months of fiscal 2000 was caused by an
increase in receivables.  Working capital was $91.4 million at April 30, 2000 as
compared to $87.2 million at October 31, 1999.  The increase is due primarily to
the increase in receivables.  Working capital may vary from time to time as a
result of seasonal requirements, the timing of early factory shipments and the
Company's in-stock position, which requires increased inventories, and the
timing of accounts receivable collections.

                                       7
<PAGE>

The Company currently has in place with a financial institution a $35.0 million
discretionary demand credit facility in favor of the Company.  A portion of the
revolving credit facility can be utilized to issue letters of credit to
guarantee payment of the Company's purchases of footwear manufactured overseas.
As of April 30, 2000, total outstanding letters of credit were $13.8 million,
and $21.2 million was available for future borrowings.

The Company from time to time enters into forward exchange contracts in
anticipation of future purchases of inventory denominated in foreign currency,
principally the Spanish peseta.  As of April 30, 2000 the Company did not have
any forward exchange contracts.

The Company anticipates that it will be able to satisfy its cash requirements
for the remainder of fiscal 2000, including its expected growth, primarily with
existing cash balance and cash flow from operations.

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q regard matters that are not
historical facts and are forward looking statements (as such term is defined in
the rules promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act")).  Because such forward looking statements include risks and
uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or
implied by such forward looking statements.  Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially include, but are not limited to; changing consumer
preference, competition from other footwear manufacturers, loss of key
employees, general economic conditions and adverse factors impacting the retail
footwear industry, and the inability by the Company to source its products due
to political or economic factors or the imposition of trade or duty
restrictions.  The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly the
results of any revisions to these forward looking statements that may be made to
reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events.
