                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999





1.       Active Apparel Group, Inc. (the "Company") and basis of presentation:

         The financial  statements  presented herein as of June 30, 2000 and for
         the six months and the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999 are
         unaudited  and, in the opinion of management,  include all  adjustments
         (consisting only of normal and recurring  adjustments)  necessary for a
         fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. Such
         financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote
         disclosures  normally included in audited financial statements prepared
         in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The
         accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been  prepared  in
         accordance  with  the  instructions  to Form  10-QSB.  The  results  of
         operations  for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2000 are
         not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for any
         other interim period or the full year ending December 31, 2000.


2.       Earnings per share:

         Basic  earnings per share  amounts are  computed  based on the weighted
         average  number of  shares  actually  outstanding  during  the  period.
         Diluted  earnings per share amounts are based on an increased number of
         shares  that would be  outstanding  assuming  the  exercise of dilutive
         stock options. For purposes of the diluted  computation,  the number of
         shares that would be issued from the exercise of stock options has been
         reduced by the number of shares  which could have been  purchased  from
         the proceeds at the average market price of the Company's stock on June
         30, 2000 and 1999.

         The number of shares  used in the  computation  of basic  earnings  per
         share was  2,592,581  at June 30,  2000 and 1999.  The number of shares
         used in the computation of diluted earnings per share was 2,657,738 and
         2,605,942 at June 30, 2000 and 1999 respectively.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

            This Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking  statements that
involve  risks and  uncertainties.  The  Company's  actual  results could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking  statements.  Factors
that may cause such differences  include,  but are not limited to, the Company's
expansion into new markets, competition, technological advances and availability
of managerial personnel.

            The  Company is a  designer,  marketer  and  supplier of women's and
men's activewear,  sportswear,  swimwear and accessories.  The Company sells its
principal  product  collections  under the Everlast brand name through exclusive
licensing  arrangements.  The Company's products are manufactured by third party
independent  manufacturing  contractors  and  are  sold to  over  20,000  retail
locations,  most of which are located  throughout  the United States and Canada,

            The  financial  statements  of the  Company  and the  notes  thereto
contain detailed information that should be referred to in conjunction with this
discussion.

Results of Operations

Quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to quarter ended June 30, 1999

           Net sales increased to $8,184,467 for the three months ended June 30,
2000 from  $5,613,775  for the three months ended June 30, 1999,  an increase of
$2,570,692,  or 45.8%.  The  increase in net sales is  primarily  attributed  to
increased  sales  volume of the  Company's  men's and women's  products  through
continued  market  penetration  with new  accounts  and  increased  orders  from
established accounts.


           Gross profit  increased to $3,218,963 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 from  $2,398,870  for the three months ended June 30, 1999, an increase
of $820,093,  or 34.2%.  Gross profit  decreased as a percentage of net sales to
39.3%  from  42.7%.  The  decrease  as a  percentage  of net sales is  primarily
attributed to a change in the Company's product mix.

           Selling and shipping  expenses  increased to $1,705,871 for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 from  $1,350,002  for the three months ended June 30,
1999,  an  increase of $355,869  or 26.4%.  Selling and  shipping  expenses as a
percentage  of net sales  decreased  to 20.8%  from  24.0%.  The  decrease  as a
percentage of net sales was primarily  attributable  to the increase in sales as
it relates to the fixed portion of selling and shipping expenses.

           General and  administrative  expenses  decreased  to $527,528 for the
three months  ended June 30, 2000 from  $530,020 for the three months ended June
30, 1999, a decrease of $2,492, or .5%. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage  of net  sales  decreased  to  6.4%  from  9.4%.  The  decrease  as a
percentage of net sales was primarily attributed to the relative fixed nature of
general and administrative expenses.

           Financial  expenses  increased to $193,985 for the three months ended
June 30,  2000 from  $114,740  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1999,  an
increase of  $79,245,  or 69.1%.  The  increase is  primarily  attributed  to an
increase  in  interest  expense  as a result of higher net  borrowings  from the
factor, for the three months ended June 30, 2000 versus the comparable period in
1999, to finance growth.

1999, an increase of $72,488, or 7.3%. General and administrative  expenses as a
percentage  of net  sales  decreased  to  6.6%  from  8.9%.  The  decrease  as a
percentage of net sales is primarily  attributed to the relative fixed nature of
general and administrative expenses.

           Financial  expenses  increased  to $371,845  for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from  $212,718 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase
of  $159,127,  or 74.8%.  The  increase  is  attributed  to the  increase in the
Company's net borrowings from the factor, for the six months ended June 30, 2000
versus the comparable period in 1999, to finance growth.

           Operating  income  increased to  $1,512,732  for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from  $812,814 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase
of  $699,918,  or  86.1%,  because  of  the  reasons  stated  in  the  preceding
paragraphs.  Operating  income as a percentage of net sales was 9.3% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to 7.3% for the six months ended June 30,
1999.

ended June 30, 2000 as compared  to $349,648  for the six months  ended June 30,
1999, an increase of $300,825, or 86.0%.

$463,166  for the six months ended June 30,  1999,  an increase of $399,093,  or
86.2%, because of the reasons stated in the preceding paragraphs.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

           Net cash  provided by operating  activities  for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 was $216,664 compared to $76,067 for the six months ended June 30,
1999. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net income. Net
cash used for  investing  activities  for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$116,590  compared  to $81,360  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999.  The
increase was attributable to the purchase of fixed assets.

           During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company's primary need
for funds was to  finance  working  capital  for the  growth in net sales of the
Company's  products.  The  Company  has  relied  primarily  upon  cash flow from
operations  and  advances  drawn  against  factored  receivables  to finance its
operations  and  expansion.  At June 30, 2000,  working  capital was  $6,566,252
compared to $5,409,043 at June 30, 1999 an increase of $1,157,209.

           Due  from  factor  represents  the  amount  owed to the  Company  for
factored receivables less the amount of outstanding advances made by the factor.
At June 30, 2000 due from factor was  $3,504,618  as compared to  $1,815,835  at
June 30, 1999, an increase of $1,688,783.  This increase is primarily the result
of  increased  volume for the six  months  ended June 30,  2000.  The  Company's
inventory  increased to $5,115,244 at June 30, 2000 as compared to $4,191,123 at
June 30,  1999 due to an  increase in booked and  anticipated  orders.  Accounts
payable  increased to  $2,295,231  at June 30, 2000 as compared to $1,106,877 at
June 30, 1999 an increase of $1,188,354.  The increase was due to more favorable
terms received from the Company's vendors.

           Management  anticipates it will retain a net receivable position with
its factor,  although no  assurance to that effect can be given.  Positive  cash
flow, if it occurs,  will provide for a further reduction in advances,  creating
sufficient working capital to fund the Company's anticipated growth for the next
twelve  months.  If a  positive  cash flow does not occur,  borrowings  with the
factor will increase.


Year 2000 Compliance

            The Company  experienced  no  disruptions  to its normal  operations
related to Year 2000 failures.  The Company  believes that its computer  systems
are Year 2000  compliant.  If Year 2000 related  failures do occur,  The Company
believes that they will not have a material  impact on the Company's  results of
operations, liquidity or financial condition.
