             The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the
             Florsheim Group Inc. ("Florsheim" or 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 notes
             required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
             financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
             adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered
             necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
             results for the three month and six month periods ended July 3,
             1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
             expected for the year ended January 1, 2000.

             The balance sheet at January 2, 1999 has been derived from the
             audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all
             of the information and notes required by generally accepted
             accounting principles for complete financial statements.

(4)         LONG TERM DEBT


            On July 1, 1999, the Company amended its bank credit facility,
            resulting in the waiver of financial covenants related to the EBITDA
            to interest expense ratio and the ratio of debt to EBITDA for the
            quarter ended July 3, 1999. In addition, the amendment reset the
            above noted financial covenants for the period ending October 2,
            1999.


(5)         EARNINGS PER SHARE

            The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic
            earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
            income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
            number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings
            per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if
            securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised.
            Basic and diluted earnings per share do not include securities in
            instances where they would be antidilutive.

            The following table provides a reconciliation of the weighted
            average shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted
            earnings per share:

THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 3, 1999 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 4, 1998

Net sales for the three months ended July 3, 1999 were $62.5 million, up $0.7
million, or 1.2%, as compared to the three months ended July 4, 1998. U.S.
Wholesale net sales increased $1.9 million, or 8.4%, due to increased sales to
department stores, particularly Sears Roebuck & Co. and J.C. Penney, and the
continued success of the MagneForce golf shoe line. U.S. Retail net sales
decreased $1.8 million, or 6.4%, as a result of planned store closings, however,
U.S. Specialty Stores same store sales increased of 3.1% over the comparable
1998 period.

Gross profit margin for the second quarter 1999 was 47.6% of net sales, as
compared to 46.4% of net sales for the second quarter 1998. The improvement in
the gross profit margin reflects improvement in U.S. Wholesale and U.S. Retail,
partially offset by International. Significant improvements in the company's new
product lines contributed to the U.S. Wholesale improvements. U.S. Retail
benefited from the store closings.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter 1999 were
$27.1 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 6.4%, from the second quarter
1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter 1999
were 43.3% of net sales, an increase from 41.2% of net sales for the second
quarter 1998 partially due to an additional $0.7 million provision for bad debt
reserves due to bankruptcy filings by two of the Company's customers during the
second quarter and higher depreciation expense, primarily related to the
Company's computer systems upgrades.

Other expense for the three months ended July 3, 1999 includes a $1.1 million
charge for costs associated with the review of strategic alternatives by the
Company's financial advisor as well as costs associated with the resignation of
the Company's former Chief Executive Officer.

Earnings from operations for the second quarter 1999 were $1.5 million, a
decrease of $1.7 million, or 52.1%, from the second quarter 1998. The decrease
was due to the increased selling, general and administrative expense and other
expense as noted above, partially offset by the increased gross profit.

Interest expense for the second quarter 1999 was $2.4 million as compared to the
second quarter 1998 amount of $2.3 million. This increase is due to increased
average borrowings during the second quarter 1999 as compared to the second
quarter 1998.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 3, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 4, 1998

Net sales for the six months ended July 3, 1999 were $126.1 million, up $5.6
million, or 4.6%, as compared to the six months ended July 4, 1998. U.S.
wholesale net sales increased $7.8 million, or 17.7%. The increase was across
all product lines within U.S. Wholesale. The most significant increase was in
department stores, which was led by J.C. Penney's, which became a new customer
in the second quarter of 1998. New products showed significant gains, with the
successful launch of the MagneForce golf shoe line. Dealers also posted gains in
the first half of 1999 compared to 1998. U.S. retail net sales decreased $3.1
million, or 5.6%, as a result of store closings, however, same store sales at
U.S. specialty stores improved 4.2% over the prior year.



                                       18
<PAGE>   19

Gross profit margin for the first half of 1999 was 47.5% of net sales, as
compared to 46.8% of net sales for the first half 1998. The improvement reflects
an improvement in both U.S. Retail and to a lesser extent, U.S. Wholesale.
Improvements at U.S. Retail relate primarily to the closing of stores. U.S.
Wholesale improvement resulted from strength in dealer sales as well as the
growth of new products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 3,
1999 were $53.3 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 5.8%, compared to the
1998 period. Selling, general and administrative expenses for 1999 were 42.3% of
net sales, an increase from 41.8% of net sales for 1998. The increase was a
result of an additional $0.7 million provision for bad debt reserves due to
bankruptcy filings by two of the Company's customers during the second quarter
and higher depreciation expense primarily related to the Company's computer
systems upgrade.

Other expense for the six months ended July 3, 1999 includes a $1.1 million
charge related to the costs related to the review of strategic alternatives by
the Company and costs associated with the resignation of the Company's former
Chief Executive Officer.

Earnings from operations for the six months ended July 3, 1999 were $5.4
million, compared to $6.1 million in the 1998 period. The decrease was due to
the increased selling, general and administrative expense and other expense as
noted above, partially offset by the increased gross profit.

Interest expense for the six months ended July 3, 1999 was $4.8 million, as
compared to $4.3 million in 1998. This increase is due to higher average
outstanding borrowings under the credit facility during 1999 as compared to the
1998 period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

WORKING CAPITAL

Working capital at July 3, 1999 was $82.8 million, as compared to $83.5 million
at January 2, 1999. Borrowings under the Company's bank credit facility were
$84.0 million compared to $77.0 million at January 2, 1999. Additional
borrowings were made to finance increases in accounts receivable, a reduction in
accounts payable and accrued expenses and to fund capital expenditures.

On July 1, 1999, the Company amended its bank credit facility, which resulted in
a waiver of the financial covenants as of July 3, 1999. The amendment also
amends the financial covenants for the third quarter of 1999. The Company
currently anticipates it will complete a new credit facility during the third
quarter of 1999.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE AND YEAR 2000

GENERAL

The Company is currently working to resolve the potential impact of the Year
2000 Issue on the processing of time-sensitive information by its computerized
information systems. Year 2000 issues may arise as the result of computer
programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. Any of the Company's computer programs that have time-



                                       19
<PAGE>   20

sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
the year 2000. This situation could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage
in similar normal business related activities.

The Company named a task force in April 1998 to assess and develop action plans
to address and assess the potential impact of the Year 2000 Issue. The task
force is also responsible to evaluate the exposures from third party (e.g.
suppliers and customers) failures to correct their systems for Year 2000.
Commencing in May 1998, questionnaires were sent to the third parties identified
by various areas of the Company's operating units. The task force has reviewed
all responses to identify potential Year 2000 risks.

INTERNAL SYSTEMS

The Company completed an assessment of the impact of the Year 2000 issues on its
internal systems and determined that it has to modify or replace portions of its
computer hardware and software to enable these systems to function properly with
respect to dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter. These issues are being
addressed as part of the overall information technology upgrade described in the
following paragraph. The Company believes that the Year 2000 issue will not pose
significant operational problems for its internal computer systems.

The Company is in the process of a significant information technology upgrade,
costing approximately $13.0 million, which is being capitalized during 1997,
1998 and 1999. The Year 2000 issue is being addressed within this upgrade. The
Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to reprogram or
replace, and test equipment and software to resolve the Year 2000 Issue. The
Company has completed two of the three phases of the upgrade, which include the
financial systems and the wholesale and warehouse systems. The Company
anticipates completing the retail system which is the third phase of system
upgrade and the Year 2000 project no later than October, 1999. The Company is
currently developing a contingency plan for the retail system. Total costs for
the system upgrade to date are approximately $10.1 million.

The costs of the systems project and the date on which the Company believes it
will complete the Year 2000 modifications are based upon management's best
estimates, which were derived by utilizing numerous assumptions of future
events, including the continued availability of certain resources, third party
modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that
these estimates will be achieved and the actual results could differ materially
from those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such material
differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of
personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant
computer codes and the impact of third party information system failures.

SUPPLIERS

The Company utilizes numerous suppliers to supply materials and components for
its various products. As noted above, the Company has surveyed all of its major
suppliers regarding their Year 2000 status. A number of suppliers have returned
completed questionnaires to the Company, some of which state that they are
either Year 2000 compliant or that they anticipate that they will be Year 2000
compliant by a date early enough to avoid any disruption. However, the Company,
is unable to verify this information, and it is possible that the advice
received from suppliers may be





                                       20
<PAGE>   21

erroneous. Moreover, certain suppliers have not yet responded to the Company's
request for information and may not be Year 2000 compliant. The Company does not
currently anticipate that suppliers' Year 2000 issues would have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

SERVICE PROVIDERS

The Company has submitted questionnaires to, but is not currently aware of the
Year 2000 readiness of, certain outside service companies such as freight,
telecommunications and utility providers. Failure of certain of these providers
to be Year 2000 compliant could have a material adverse effect on the Company
which is not currently quantifiable, and it is possible that the Company's
operations could be seriously disrupted.

CUSTOMERS

The Company's major customers have been surveyed by the Company for Year 2000
compliance, and the Company is in the process of evaluating responses. A
customer's Year 2000 issues could cause a delay in receipt of purchase orders or
in payment. If Year 2000 issues are widespread among the Company's customers,
the Company's sales and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this discussion, the words "believes" and "expects" and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, over which the Company has no
control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those

statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no
obligations to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date thereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider
the various disclosures made by the Company in this report, as well as the
Company's periodic reports with the Securities Exchange Commission.

         4.                Section 9.09 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
              amended by deleting the ratio "3.75:1.00" appearing opposite the
              date September 30, 1999 in the table therein and inserting in lieu
              thereof the ratio "6.00:1.00".

         5.                Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement is hereby

              ratio "1.90:1.00".

         6.                In order to induce the undersigned Banks to enter
              into this Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants
              that (i) the representations and warranties contained in the
              Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on
              and as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (as defined in
              Section 10 of this Amendment) (it being understood and agreed that
              any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a
              specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all
              material respects only as of such specified date) and (ii) there
              exists no Default or Event of Default on the Fourth Amendment
              Effective Date, in each case after giving effect to this
              Amendment.

         7.                This Amendment is limited as specified and shall not
              constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other
              provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document.

         8.                This Amendment may be executed in any number of
              counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate
              counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and
              delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together
              constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set of
              counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Agent at
              the Notice Office.

         9.                THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
              PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
              GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         10.               This Amendment shall become effective on the date
              (the "Fourth Amendment Effective Date") when the Borrower and the
              Required Banks (i) shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether
              the same or different counterparts) and (ii) shall have delivered
              (including by way of facsimile transmission) the same to the Agent
              at the Notice Office.

         11.               From and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date,
              all references in the Credit Agreement and each of the Credit
              Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be references
              to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
