                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)
                                 July 31, 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 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
     June 2000, the SEC issued an amendment, SAB 101B, which deferred the
     effective date of SAB 101.  The Company will adopt SAB 101 in the fourth
     quarter of fiscal 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 July 31, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended July 31, 1999

Net sales were $39.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2000 compared
to $39.1 million for the same period in the prior year.  While year over year
total net sales were relatively flat, incremental net sales of A Line Anne
Klein, Anne Klein2 and increased Dockers Footwear for Women net sales offset the
loss of Jones New York footwear net sales.  The Jones New York footwear license
was sold to Jones Apparel Group, Inc. in July 1999.

Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was $11.0 million compared to
$8.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.  Gross profit as a percentage
of net sales was 27.7% for the third fiscal quarter of 2000 compared to 21.3%
for the same period in the prior year.  This increase was due to the mix of net
sales.  A significant portion of the Jones New York net sales in 1999 were
shipped at liquidation prices which generally approximated cost.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.6 million during the third
quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to $6.3 million in the same period in fiscal
1999.  As a percent of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses
for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was 16.8% compared to 16.0% in the same
period in 1999.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
was due to increased advertising expenses of $1.0 million, some of which was
required for the A Line Anne Klein, Anne

                                       6
<PAGE>

Klein2 and Dockers Footwear for Women divisions offset by reduced bad debt
expense of $.7 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2000 as compared to the
same period in fiscal 1999.

Other income was $1.0 million for the three months ended July 31, 2000 compared
to other income of $19.9 for the same period in the prior year.  In 2000, other
income was comprised of interest income and  royalty income realized.  In 1999,
other income was comprised of $25.0 million paid by Jones Apparel Group to the
Company for the sale of the Company's Jones New York footwear license, reduced
by $5.5 million for expenses related to the transaction, accounts receivable and
inventory liquidation.

Nine Months Ended July 31, 2000 Compared to Nine Months ended July 31, 1999

Net sales were $111.9 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 compared
to $111.2 million for the same period in the prior year.  All divisions
increased net sales during the nine months ended July 31, 2000 over the same
period in the prior year.  This increase in net sales was offset by the loss of
Jones New York footwear net sales, due to the sale of the Jones New York
footwear license and the elimination of the closeout/job lot business in fiscal
1999.

Gross profits in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was $29.8 million as
compared to $28.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1999, or 26.6% of
net sales as compared to 25.4% for the same period in 1999.  This increase was
due to the mix of net sales.  Gross profit was affected by 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.  A significant portion of the Jones New York net sales
in 1999 were shipped at liquidation prices which generally approximated cost.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $20.6 million for the nine
months ended July 31, 2000, compared to $19.0 million in the same period is
fiscal 1999.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales increased to 18.4% in the nine months ended July 31, 2000, compared to
17.1% during the same period in fiscal 1999.  Selling expenses increased $2.1
million in fiscal 2000 as a result of advertising expenses attributable to A
Line Anne Klein, Anne Klein2 and the Dockers' divisions and increased sales
commissions due to net sales increases of these divisions.  General and
administrative expenses decreased $.5 million as the Company realized cost
efficiencies from its new distribution systems and reduced bad debt expense,
which offset increased depreciation expense in fiscal 2000.

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

At July 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had unfilled customer orders (backlog) of
$54.9 million and $43.5 million respectively.  Excluding Jones New York and
closeout orders from the July 31, 1999 backlog, the comparable backlogs for July
31, 2000 and 1999, are $54.9 million and $39.6 million, respectively, an
increase of 38.6%.  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 July
31, 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 $.7
million in the nine month period ended July 31, 2000, as compared to net cash
provided of $10.0 million for the same period in 1999. The decrease in cash
provided by operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was primarily a
result of the increase in inventory levels and accounts

                                       7
<PAGE>

receivable balances compared to the same period in the prior year when viewed to
the relative year end balances. This was a result of the addition of the A Line
Anne Klein/Anne Klein 2 and Dockers Footwear for Women brands. Investing
activities in 1999 and 2000 reflect cash held and released by an independent
intermediary. For tax reasons, proceeds from the sale of the Jones New York
footwear license were restricted for any acquisition initiated within six months
of the sale. Because an acquisition was not initiated within the six months, the
funds were released in January 2000. Working capital was $94.9 million at July
31, 2000 as compared to $87.2 million at October 31, 1999. 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.

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 July 31, 2000, total outstanding letters of credit were $16.0 million, and
$19.0 million was available for future borrowings.

Capital expenditures were $.8 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2000.

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 July 31, 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.
