                         THE SIRENA APPAREL GROUP, INC.
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements 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 of normal recurring
         accruals)considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
         included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30,
         1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
         expected for the year ending June 30, 1997.  For further information,
         refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
         the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
         1996.

2.       ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

         On September 15, 1995, the Company amended its advance factoring
         agreement.  Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company will
         receive advances up to 80% of uncollected receivables.  In addition,
         the Company may draw short-term advances up to 50% of eligible
         inventory, as defined, and may also borrow seasonal over-advances from
         September 1 to May 31 each year up to a maximum of $3.0 million during
         December.  Interest at the prime rate plus 0.75%, 2.0% and 2.0% is to
         be charged on factor advances, inventory advances and seasonal
         advances, respectively. Aggregate obligations under the agreement
         cannot exceed $26.0 million.  The agreement has an amended term of two
         years and includes certain financial covenants, including restrictions
         on the payment of cash dividends.

3.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories consist of the following:

4.       INCOME TAXES

         No provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30,
         1996 has been recorded as the Company does not expect to have taxable
         income due to the reversal of certain timing differences.

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Item  2.         Results of Operations

Net Sales.   Net sales decreased to $2,185,000 for the first quarter ended
September 30, 1996 from $3,100,000 in the comparable period last year, a
decrease of 29.5%.  The decrease in net sales consisted of (i) a 42.8% decrease
in the revenue of the Branded Swimwear division, due primarily to not producing
promotional programs for discounters as had been the case in the prior year,
(ii) a 14.3% decrease in the revenue of the Resortwear division, due primarily
to later shipment of new season merchandise, and (iii) an 8% decrease in the
revenue of the Private Label division primarily due to a shift in demand for
early season goods into the second fiscal quarter.

Gross Profit.   Gross profit decreased to $54,000 for the first quarter ended
September 30, 1996 from $1,006,000 in the comparable period last year, a
decrease of 94.6%, resulting from the decrease in net sales and gross profit
margin.  The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to (i) an
increase in the sale of close-out merchandise which generated no gross profit,
and (ii) unfavorable manufacturing variances resulting from lower levels of
production.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.   Selling, general, and
administrative expenses decreased to $2,155,000 (98.6% of net sales) for the
first quarter ended September 30, 1996 from $2,241,000 (72.3% of net sales) in
the comparable period last year.  The decrease in such expenses was due to the
emerging impact of a cost reduction program implemented at the start of the
fiscal year.

Interest Expense.   Interest expense decreased to $142,000 for the first
quarter ended September 30, 1996 from $174,000 in the comparable period last
year.  The decrease in expense results from lower borrowing levels resulting
from equity raised in the secondary offering in November 1995.

Net Loss.   Net loss increased to $2,243,000, $0.48 per common share, for the
first quarter ended September 30, 1996, from a net loss of $916,000, $0.29 per
common share, for the comparable period last year.  The increase in the net
loss is due to (i) no income tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, compared to a 35% benefit recorded in the first quarter of fiscal
1996, (ii) the decrease in net sales, (iii) the decrease in gross profit,
partially offset by lower selling, general, and administrative expenses, and
interest expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter ended September 30,
1996 was $3,400,000 compared to $4,197,000 for the comparable period last year.
At September 30, 1996, working capital was approximately $7,677,000, compared
to approximately $4,867,000 at September 30, 1995.

Inventory decreased to $9,110,000 at September 30, 1996 from $10,712,000 at
September 30, 1995, a decrease of 15.0%, due to a production schedule aimed at
maximizing inventory turnover by producing inventory closer to demand, and
higher inventory reserves.

The Company has entered into an accounts receivable, inventory, seasonal
overadvance and factoring services arrangement, which was amended as of
September 15, 1995, with Heller Financial, Inc. ("Heller") pursuant to which
the Company sells to Heller all of the Company's accounts receivable at their
net invoice price less a commission of 0.675% , up to $75 million in gross
sales and 0.575% thereafter, with no minimum or ancillary fees.  Advances are
made without recourse for the financial inability of the customer to pay with
respect to all accounts receivable approved by Heller.  The Company bears the
entire risk of non-approved receivables and accounts receivable returned by the
factor to the Company. Prior to Heller's payment, the Company may draw
short-term advances from Heller up to 80% of the uncollected receivables, which
advances bear interest at an annual rate of 3/4% over the prime rate
established from time to time by Bank of America (8 1/4% at October 31, 1996).
Heller collects such advances and interest by offsetting against amounts due to
the Company upon the collection of factored receivables.  In addition, the
Company may draw short-term advances from Heller of (i) up to 50% of eligible
inventory which is current season inventory and (ii) up to 40% prior to October
31, and up to 25% during the period between November 1 and June 30, in each
case of eligible inventory which is not current season inventory, less such
reserves as Heller elects to establish.

The Company's short-term advances are limited to a maximum of $6,000,000 or
$1,000,000 in excess of the Company's projected short-term advance
requirements, whichever is less.  The Company may also borrow seasonal
overadvances of up to $1,000,000 from September 1 to September 30, $2,000,000
from October 1 to October 31, $2,500,000 from November 1 to November 30,
$3,000,000 from December 1 to January 31, $2,500,000 from February 1 to
February 28, $1,500,000 from March 1 to March 31 and $500,000 from April 1 to
May 31 of each year.  The inventory advances and the overadvances bear interest
at an annual rate of 2% over the prime rate established from time to time by
Bank of America.  Finally,




                                       9
<PAGE>   11
the Company may request Heller to issue guarantees for the Company's purchase
of raw materials for up to $575,000 at any one time.  Under the Company's
agreement with Heller, the maximum credit available to the Company at any time
is limited to $26 million.  The Company's agreement with Heller has a term
expiring on August 19, 1997, after which time either party may terminate upon
60 days written notice.  The Company's obligations to Heller are secured by the
Company's accounts receivable, inventory, general intangibles, other than
trademarks or trade names, and cash deposit accounts.

This Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures.
