PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) The Company, a New York corporation organized in 1935, designs,
manufactures, markets and sells an extensive line of ladies' sleepwear, robes,
leisurewear, loungewear, panties and daywear; men's, women's and children's
screen printed tee shirts; and also operates retail outlet stores under the name
Movie Star Factory Stores ("Factory Stores"). At December 31, 1995, the Company
had substantially completed the previously reported divestiture of its Schwabe
men's work and leisure shirt division.
The Company's products consist of ladies' pajamas, nightgowns, baby dolls,
nightshirts, dusters, shifts, sundresses, rompers, short sets, beachwear,
peignoir ensembles, robes, leisurewear, panties, and daywear consisting of
bodysuits, soft bras, slips, half-slips, teddies and camisoles. These products
are manufactured in various fabrics, designs, colors and styles depending upon
seasonal requirements, changes in fashion and customer demand. The Company also
sells screen printed men's, women's and children's tee shirts under the
trademark Sunworks(R). The designs for these tee shirt products are printed with
photo-sensitive inks that appear in black and white until exposed to direct
sunlight, which causes the designs to then appear in colors; the designs return
to black and white when the tee shirts are no longer exposed to sunlight.
In the past, the Company has benefited from its long-standing relationships with
its customers based on providing them with competitively priced products and
efficient service. As a result of consolidations in the retail industry, the
high cost of domestic manufacturing and difficulties the Company has encountered
in engaging reliable offshore contractors and obtaining sufficient quantities of
acceptable quality finished products from overseas, the Company has experienced
a loss of sales to certain of its customers. The Company maintains an in-house
design staff which affords it the flexibility to work with merchandise buyers on
fashion design and price points and its domestic manufacturing facilities allow
shorter "lead times" in producing certain of its products.
(b) Intentionally omitted.
(c) (i) The Company's products are sold to discount, specialty, national and
regional chain, mass merchandise and department stores and direct mail catalog
marketers throughout the United States. The prices to consumers for the
Company's products range from approximately $3.00 for certain of its panty
products to approximately $90.00 for certain other products, such as peignoir
sets. The Company's products are sold by in-house sales personnel and outside
manufacturer's representatives. Approximately 47% of the Company's sales are
made to national chains and mass merchandisers; the balance of the Company's
sales are unevenly distributed among discount, specialty, department and
regional chain stores, direct mail catalog marketers and to consumers through
the Company's Factory Stores. The Company's gross profit on its sales for each
of the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was approximately 27%,
20% and 22%, respectively.
The Factory Stores sell apparel products manufactured by the Company and other
manufacturers at discounted retail prices. Historically, approximately 30% of
the sales by these stores have been derived from products supplied by the
Company. In fiscal 1996, approximately 44% of the products sold by these stores
were supplied by the Company. This increase resulted from the sale by these
stores of a substantial amount of the finished goods inventory of the
discontinued Schwabe division. In fiscal 1997 less than 20% of the products sold
by these stores were supplied by the Company. This decrease resulted primarily
from the phase out of the popular-priced trade business, the divestiture of the
Schwabe division and the expansion of the factory stores product line. The
Factory Stores accounted for approximately 11.5% of total sales of the Company
in fiscal 1996 and 16.7% of total sales in fiscal 1997. This increase in
percentage of total sales was due to the reduction in overall sales of the
Company in fiscal 1997 caused primarily by the divestiture of the Schwabe
Division. These stores operate at a gross profit above 30%. The Factory Stores
division advertises directly to consumers through print, radio and television in
the localities in which it operates.
I-1
<PAGE>
The Company limits the promotion of its products to cooperative advertising in
conjunction with its retail customers directed to the ultimate retail consumer
of its products. In addition to its in-house sales force, the Company has, since
1976, retained Harold Shatz and Jeffrey Hymowitz and their organization, as a
manufacturer's representative. Working closely with the Company, Messrs. Shatz
and Hymowitz sell to selected accounts under the overall supervision of the
Company's Chairman, Mark M. David, and Mel Knigin, the Company's President and
its most senior executive in charge of sales and merchandising. Their
organization is paid commissions based on the net sales of all intimate apparel
products it sells. Messrs. Shatz and Hymowitz are not employees of the Company
and their current contract with the Company expires in December 1998. In fiscal
year 1996 approximately 12% and in fiscal year 1997 approximately 30% of the
Company's net sales were attributed to sales by this organization. This increase
was a result of an overall decrease in the Company's sales caused primarily by
the divestiture of the Schwabe Division and the Company's recent consolidation
and restructuring which has allowed senior management to refocus their sales and
design efforts on the Company's intimate apparel business. Management believes
that the increase in sales to Mr. Shatz's and Mr. Hymowitz's accounts were
directly attributable to its refocused sales and design efforts. The Company
believes that the loss of its relationship with Messrs. Shatz and Hymowitz and
their organization would not materially adversely affect the Company because
retailers' purchasing decisions are primarily based upon the Company's products.
In 1988, Mr. Shatz and Mr. Hymowitz were granted non-qualified options to
purchase an aggregate of 133,333 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price
of $2.36 per share.
Messrs. Shatz and Hymowitz and their organization have also devoted a portion of
their time to the development, marketing and sale of the Company's screen
printed tee shirts under the Sunworks(R) trademark and in the development of
other products utilizing the same sun-activated print technology in which the
Company is a participant. The Company has entered into a separate agreement with
the Shatz/Hymowitz organization providing for formula based compensation to be
paid to it based on the net profits (as defined in the agreement) derived by the
Company from the sale of Sunworks(R) imprinted tee shirts and other products.
(ii) Not applicable.
(iii) The Company utilizes a large variety of fabrics made from natural and
man-made fibers including, among others, polyester, cotton, broadcloth, stretch
terry, flannel, brush, nylon, spun polyester, velour, satins, tricot, jersey,
fleece, jacquards, lace, stretch lace, charmeuse, chambray, and various knit
fabrics.
These materials are available from a variety of both domestic and foreign
sources. The sources are highly competitive in a world market. The Company
expects these competitive conditions to continue in the foreseeable future.
Generally, the Company has long-standing relationships with its domestic and
foreign suppliers and purchases its raw materials in anticipation of orders or
as a result of need based on orders received. Purchase of raw materials in high
volume provides the Company with the opportunity to buy at relatively low
prices. In turn, the Company is able to take advantage of these lower prices in
the pricing of its finished goods.
The Company increased the amount of finished goods assembled for it by
contractors in the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico from approximately 9%
in fiscal 1996 to approximately 25% in fiscal 1997. This increase was due to the
Company's strategic decision to assemble more of its finished goods in Mexico in
order to take advantage of lower labor costs and lower duty rates resulting from
the North American Free Trade Agreement. In fiscal 1997, approximately 33% of
the Company's raw materials were imported as compared to approximately 9% in
fiscal 1996. This increase resulted from the increase in offshore production,
the availability of raw materials in Mexico and purchasing decisions designed to
take advantage of lower costs associated with certain imported raw materials.
Approximately 20% of the Company's finished goods were purchased from foreign
sources in fiscal 1997 as compared to 19% in fiscal 1996.
I-2
<PAGE>
As of June 30, 1996, the Company eliminated the separate structure of its
International Division and has absorbed the functions of purchasing finished
products and raw materials from offshore sources, into its single unified
operating organization. Currently, the Company has two employees based in
Bangladesh to supervise the production of finished products purchased by the
Company from manufacturers in that country. The Company may hire additional
supervisory personnel to be based in other countries as new sources of supply
are identified or it may retain the services of independent agents in those
countries.
Centralization of the functions of the former International Division has given
the Company greater control over its offshore sourcing through closer oversight
of these functions by senior management and greater accountability from foreign
based personnel employed by and reporting directly to the Company. Management
personnel travel to the Far East, the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America
throughout the year to monitor the performance of the Company's offshore
manufacturers and contractors. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade has
not had any impact on the operations of the Company.
The Company believes it maintains adequate inventories to cover the needs of its
customers.
(iv) The Company has several registered trademarks, of which "Movie Star",
"Movie Star Loungewear", "Cinema Etoile", "Cine Jour", "Cine Star", "Night
Magic" and "Sunworks" are material to the marketing by the Company of its
products. There is no litigation with respect to patents, licenses and
trademarks.
(v) The Company manufactures a wide variety of intimate apparel in many
different styles and sizes and for use in all seasons and climates in the United
States. Because of its product mix, it is subject to certain seasonal variations
in sales and in the utilization of its manufacturing facilities. More than 50%
of the Company's sales are made in the first six months of its fiscal year.
(vi) All sales are outright sales. Terms are generally net 10 days E.O.M. or net
30 days from the date the goods are shipped which, depending on date of
shipment, can be due from as short a period as twenty-one days or as long as
fifty days. It has become industry practice to extend payment terms up to an
additional thirty days for certain customers. Although sales are made without
the right of return, in certain instances the Company may accept returns or
agree to allowances. The Company maintains sufficient inventories of raw
materials and finished goods to meet its production requirements and the
delivery demands of its customers. As a result, the Company relies on its
short-term line of credit to supplement internally generated funds to fulfill
its working capital needs.
(vii) Sears Roebuck and Company accounted for 12% of fiscal year 1997 sales and
25% of sales for fiscal year 1996. Approximately 15% of the Company's sales for
fiscal 1996 were comprised of men's work and leisure shirts which were
manufactured by the Schwabe Division and sold to Sears Roebuck and Company. The
Schwabe Division had no sales for fiscal 1997. Walmart accounted for 17% of
sales for fiscal 1997 and 5% of sales for fiscal 1996. J.C. Penney accounted for
11% of sales for fiscal 1997 and 8% of sales for fiscal 1996.
Purchasing decisions by the Company's customers with respect to each group of
the Company's products and, in some instances, products within a group,
generally are made by different buyers and purchasing departments. The Company
believes that the loss of orders from any one buyer or purchasing department
would not necessarily result in the loss of sales to other buyers or purchasing
departments of those customers.
(viii) The backlog of orders as of June 30, 1997 was approximately $21,300,000
and as of June 30, 1996 was approximately $21,200,000. Orders are booked upon
receipt. The Company believes that the current backlog is firm and will be
filled by the end of the current fiscal year.
(ix) There is no material portion of the business which may be subject to
renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the
election of the Government.
I-3
<PAGE>
(x) The intimate apparel business is fragmented and highly competitive. The
industry is characterized by a large number of small companies manufacturing and
selling unbranded merchandise, and by several large companies which have
developed widespread consumer recognition of the brand names associated with
merchandise manufactured and sold by these companies. In addition, certain of
the larger retailers to whom the Company has historically sold its products
have, in recent years, sought to expand the development and marketing of their
own brands and to obtain intimate apparel products directly from similar sources
as the Company.
While the Company believes that owning manufacturing facilities can be
advantageous, owning plants has required the investment of substantial capital
and subjected the Company to the costs of maintaining excess capacity.
Competitive conditions in the industry have required the Company to place
greater reliance on obtaining raw materials and finished products from sources
outside the United States.
The Company has consolidated production in its domestic plants by closing
underutilized and inefficient facilities. Between August 1990 and June 1996, the
Company has closed sixteen manufacturing plants in an effort to lower costs by
reducing excess manufacturing capacity and in response to the need to produce
and purchase products at a lower cost from sources outside the United States.
The intimate apparel industry is further characterized by competition on the
basis of price, quality, efficient service and prompt delivery. Because of this
competitive pressure, it has become increasingly difficult for the Company to
rely principally on domestic manufacturing. Further shifts in competitive
conditions may require the Company to increase its reliance on offshore
manufacturers and contractors in the future. Accordingly, changes in import
quotas, currency valuations and political conditions in the countries from which
the Company imports products could adversely affect the Company's business. Such
shifts could result in the underutilization of the Company's remaining domestic
plants and decrease profitability.
The Company believes that the consolidation in the retail industry has
contributed to increased competition among manufacturers of products of the type
sold by the Company. As part of its response to this competitive pressure, the
Company has sought to maximize its domestic manufacturing efficiency through
strategic consolidation of underutilized facilities. The Company has continued
to take advantage of opportunities in the Caribbean Basin and Central America to
contract for the cutting and assembly of its products which enables the Company
to benefit from lower offshore labor costs coupled with transportation times
that are faster than deliveries from the Far East. In fiscal 1996, the Company
resumed contracting in Mexico and in fiscal 1997 increased its production there.
In the past, the Company has been unable to maximize the benefits of these
opportunities due to a reduction in the volume of orders it received for goods
that were suitable for assembly offshore; shorter than anticipated lead times
between placement of orders and customers' required delivery dates; and, its
inability to establish or maintain relationships with reliable contractors. The
Company believes it has addressed and corrected the problems associated with the
unreliability of certain contractors it used in the past.
(xi) No material research activities relating to the development of new products
or services or the improvement of existing products or services were undertaken
during the last fiscal year, except for the normal continuing development of new
styles and marketing methods.
(xii) There are no costs relating to complying with environmental regulations in
the fiscal year just completed or over future periods of which the Company is
aware.
(xiii) Of the approximately 732 employees of the Company, approximately 22 are
executive, design and sales personnel, 89 are administrative personnel, and the
balance are in manufacturing and warehousing and retail sales for the Movie Star
Factory Stores division. In addition, the Company employs approximately 60
part-time sales and stockroom assistants in its Movie Star Factory Stores
division.
The Company has never experienced an interruption of its operations because of a
work stoppage. Even though the Company is subject to certain seasonal variations
in sales, significant seasonal layoffs are rare.

<PAGE>
Most employees have an interest in the Company's Common Stock through the
Company's ESOP. The Company deems its relationship with its employees to be
good. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement with any
union.
Restriction on Dividends
Pursuant to a public offering of $25,000,000 of Debentures in 1986, and the
exchange in October 1996 of certain of those Debentures for New Senior Notes,
the Company may not declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on any
class of its capital stock except dividends or distributions payable in capital
stock of the Company or to the holders of any class of its capital stock, or
purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any capital stock of
the Company if (i) at the time of such action an event of default, or an event
which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute an event of default,
shall have occurred and be continuing, or (ii) if, upon after giving effect to
such dividend, distribution, purchase, redemption, other acquisition or
retirement, the aggregate amount expended for all such purposes subsequent to
June 30, 1986, shall exceed the sum of (a) 75% of the aggregate consolidated net
income of the Company earned subsequent to June 30, 1986, (b) the aggregate net
proceeds, including the fair market value of property other than cash received
by the Company from the issue or sale after September 30, 1986 of capital stock
of the Company, including capital stock issued upon the conversion of, or in
exchange for, indebtedness for borrowed money and (c) $4,000,000; provided,
however, that the provisions of this limitation shall not prevent the retirement
of any shares of the Company's capital stock by exchange for, or out of proceeds
of the substantially concurrent sale of, other shares of its capital stock, and
neither such retirement nor the proceeds of any such sale or exchange shall be
included in any computation made under this limitation. At June 30, 1997, the
Company is prohibited from paying any cash dividends.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements with
respect to anticipated results which are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially are: business conditions and growth in the Registrant's industry;
general economic conditions; the addition or loss of significant customers;
the loss of key personnel; product development; competition; foreign
government regulations; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
rising costs of raw materials and the unavailability of sources of supply;
the timing of orders placed by the Registrant's customers; and such other
risk factors listed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports .
Results of Operations
1997 vs. 1996
Net sales for the year ended June 30, 1997 decreased to $61,470,000 from
$84,115,000 in the comparable period in 1996, a decrease of 26.9%. The
decrease in sales resulted primarily from the elimination of the men's work
and leisure shirt division and lower sales in the intimate apparel division
of approximately $17,498,000 and $4,746,000, respectively. The lower sales
in the intimate apparel division resulted primarily from the weak retail
demand for certain of the Company's products and the Company's efforts to
eliminate low margin business. The Company does not intend to directly
replace the reduction in sales resulting from the elimination of the men's
work and leisure shirt division. Net sales for the Company's retail
division, Movie Star Factory Stores, increased $458,000 to $10,229,000 for
the year ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the comparable period in 1996.
The gross profit percentage increased to 26.9% for the year ended June 30,
1997 from 20.4% in the similar period in 1996. The increase was due
primarily to the elimination of the low margin men's work and leisure shirt
division, which had an 11.2% gross margin in 1996. The gross margin in the
Company's intimate apparel product lines increased to 24.9% in 1997 from
20.6% in the similar period in 1996. The higher margins resulted primarily
from the Company's refocused efforts to increase margins and to address all
components of its finished goods costs, including the countries in which
goods are manufactured, the sources of its piece goods and the overall
management of its costs. The Movie Star Factory Stores gross margin
increased to 35.7% for 1997 as compared to 34.4% in the similar period in
1996. The higher margins in the Movie Star Factory Stores resulted from
changes in buying practices, an expanded product line and lower markdowns.
During fiscal 1997, the Company shifted a portion of its production from the
Caribbean, Central America and the Far East to manufacturers located in
close proximity to Mexico City, Mexico. This shift allows the Company to
take advantage of lower duty rates that result from the North American Free
Trade Agreement and the availability of piece goods in Mexico. The proximity
of the Mexican based contractors also enables the Company's senior
management to more easily monitor the production of these products. The
Company has one full-time employee located in Mexico and is relocating
another full-time employee to Mexico to monitor the production of its
products. The Company intends to increase its production in Mexico and to
hire additional personnel, located in Mexico, to monitor its production.
At the end of fiscal 1996 and into the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the
Company continued to encounter problems with its imported finished goods. In
certain instances, after taking delivery of the goods, the Company was
required to correct manufacturing defects before shipping the merchandise to
one of the Company's customers. Although no loss of sales was attributable
to the poor quality
II-3
<PAGE>
merchandise, the Company incurred costs of approximately $400,000 associated
with correcting the quality problems, which had a negative impact on the
financial results for fiscal 1997. In fiscal 1997, the Company replaced the
senior personnel responsible for its import department and hired two
employees located in the Far East to supervise the production of its
products. In addition, the Company is now purchasing its products from
different manufacturers than it has in the past.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $3,809,000 to
$13,718,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997 as compared to 1996. This
decrease was primarily due to the Company's consolidation and realignment of
its operations and lower sales volume. Specifically, the decrease resulted
from reductions in salary expense and salary related costs of approximately
$1,518,000, sales related expenses of approximately $226,000 and rent
expense of approximately $1,322,000, along with decreases in other general
overhead expenses. The Company also had a more favorable than expected
recovery of bad debts of approximately $447,000. This allowance recovery
resulted primarily from one customer that resolved its bankruptcy much
faster and much more favorably than the Company had anticipated.
In fiscal 1996, the Company abandoned two floors of its New York City
offices in connection with the Company's consolidation and realignment of
its operations. The Company provided a reserve of $900,000 for estimated
costs in connection with the abandonment of the two floors, and wrote-off
the net remaining book value of related leasehold improvements of $270,000.
In August of 1996, the Company terminated and settled its remaining
leasehold obligations with respect to the aforementioned abandoned floors
for $800,000.
The Company had income from operations for fiscal year 1997 of $2,805,000
as compared to a loss from operations of $1,475,000 for fiscal year 1996.
This improvement in income from operations was due to higher margins, lower
selling, general and administrative expenses and one time charges taken in
the prior fiscal year. The Movie Star Factory Stores had a positive impact
on the Company's results from operations for both fiscal year 1997 and 1996.
In September 1996, the Company purchased $1,320,000 in principal amount of
its 12.875% subordinated debentures to meet a sinking fund payment due in
October 1996. As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded a gain of
$560,000, net of related costs, in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 1997 decreased by $1,112,000
from the comparable period in 1996 due to lower borrowings coupled with the
effect of the negotiated lower rate of interest on a portion of the
Company's long-term debt.
An income tax provision of $65,000 was provided for by the Company for the
year ended June 30, 1997 as compared to an income tax benefit of $90,000 for
the year ended June 30, 1996.
The Company had net income of $519,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to a net loss of $5,278,000 for the same period in 1996. This
improvement was due to higher margins, lower selling, general and
administrative expenses, lower interest costs, a gain on the Company's
purchase of its subordinated debentures and one time charges taken in the
prior year.
1996 vs. 1995
Net sales decreased by $17,831,000 (17.5 %) to $84,115,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1996 compared to the prior year. The decrease in sales
resulted primarily from lower sales in the popular-priced intimate apparel
product line. The lower sales resulted from the elimination of trade
business from that product line, the weak retail climate for the Company's
products and the inability of the Company to source effectively. The Company
anticipated lower sales in fiscal 1997 due to the discontinuance of its low
margin men's work and leisure shirt division in fiscal 1996.
In September 1995, the Company announced its decision to eliminate its low
margin men's work and leisure shirt division to focus on its core intimate
apparel business. This action was designed to alleviate certain pressures
associated with that division's operations namely, high inventory and
capital requirements and poor return on capital. The liquidation of the
assets of this division was substantially completed as of December 31,
1995. The Company recorded an additional charge of $2,250,000, against cost
of sales, to write-down to its net realizable value the inventory of the
men's work and leisure shirt division.
II-4
<PAGE>
The gross profit percentage was 20.4% in fiscal 1996 as compared to 20.3% in
the prior year. The above-mentioned additional charge of $2,250,00 decreased
the Company's fiscal 1995 gross profit percentage by 2.2%, from 22.5%,
before the additional charge to 20.3% after the additional charge. The lower
margins in fiscal 1996 were primarily due to the Company's popular-priced
intimate apparel product line. The lower margins resulted from a more
competitive market, the weak retail climate for the Company's products,
the inability of the Company to source effectively and the Company's effort
to sell off discontinued inventory and reduce inventory levels. The Company
anticipated higher margins in fiscal 1997 due to the discontinuance of its
low margin's men's work and leisure shirt division in fiscal 1996 and the
other continuing efforts to eliminate low margin business.
In order to compete more effectively, the Company reduced excess plant
capacity and, accordingly, closed 7 plants in fiscal 1996. The Company now
operates 3 domestic manufacturing facilities.
The Company continued to encounter significant problems with the finished
goods it imports. These problems resulted in the receipt of lesser quality
goods, unscheduled and costly air shipments and the inability, in certain
instances, to make timely delivery of quality finished product to our
customers. As a result, certain customers either canceled orders, returned
goods or took deductions. The Company has not fully resolved its sourcing
problems, which were expected to have a further negative effect on financial
results in fiscal 1997. However, due to the steps taken in fiscal 1996
described above, the Company anticipated that operating results would
improve in fiscal 1997.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $3,014,000 to
$17,527,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 1995. This
decrease was due to reduced overhead costs as a result of the Company's
consolidation and realignment and lower sales volume. Specifically, this
decrease resulted from reductions in salary expense and related payroll
taxes of approximately $1,342,000, sales related expenses of approximately
$1,368,000, which included reductions in shipping costs and sample making of
approximately $615,000 and $473,000, respectively, rent expense of
approximately $384,000 and a net increase in other general overhead
expenses.
In order to reduce overhead expenses and improve operating efficiencies, the
Company vacated two floors in its New York City offices, separately leased
to the Company, and combined its operation into another floor leased by the
Company in the same building. The Company terminated and settled these lease
obligations for $800,000 and wrote-off the remaining net book value of
related leasehold improvements of $270,000.
In fiscal 1995, the Company recorded a special charge of $750,000 to
write-down to its estimated realizable value the men's work and leisure
shirt division's property, plant and equipment.
Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 1996 decreased by $776,000 from
the comparable period in 1995 due to lower borrowing levels in fiscal 1996.
An income tax benefit of $90,000 was provided by the Company for the year
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $246,000 for the year ended June 30,
1995.
As a result of the above factors, the financial results reflect a net loss
from operations of $5,278,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996, compared to
a net loss of $5,029,000 for the comparable period in 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company's working capital decreased by
$770,000 to $18,636,000, principally from the payment of long-term debt and
the purchase of fixed assets, offset partially by operating profits.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, cash increased by $752,000. The
Company used cash for the purchase of fixed assets of $133,000 and the
repayment of long-term debt of $815,000. These activities were principally
funded by cash generated by operating activities.
II-5
<PAGE>
Inventory at June 30, 1997 increased by $2,391,000 to $16,638,000 from
$14,247,000 at June 30, 1996 due primarily to an increase in the inventory
of the lingerie division from the prior year's levels.
In October 1996, the Company consummated an agreement with holders of
$10,187,000 of the Company's outstanding 12.875% unsecured subordinated
debentures ("Restructured Bonds"). The holders of the Restructured Bonds
exchanged such bonds for the issuance of an equivalent principal amount of a
new series of notes bearing interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable
semi-annually (April 1 and October 1) which are senior to the 12.875%
debentures ("New Senior Notes"). Additionally, the holders of the
Restructured Bonds deferred the receipt of interest due April 1, 1996
(approximately $656,000) and October 1, 1996 (approximately $434,000). The
Company paid the interest due on the remaining 12.875% debentures. The
holders of the Restructured Bonds have also accepted New Senior Notes in
exchange for the April 1, 1996 and October 1, 1996 deferred interest related
to the Restructured Bonds. The aggregate principal amount of the New Senior
Notes approximate $11,276,500. The New Senior Notes do not provide for any
amortization of principal and mature on September 1, 2001. As a result of
the exchange, the Company will apply the entire principal amount of the
Restructured Bonds acquired by the Company of $10,187,000 to its mandatory
annual sinking fund payments through October 1999. The Company's obligation
to make mandatory sinking fund payments on the 12.875% debentures will
resume in October 1999. The aggregate principal indebtedness of the New
Senior Notes and the 12.875% subordinated debentures after the exchange is
approximately $22,209,000.
The New Senior Notes carry the right to convert up to approximately $716,000
of the notes into 1,908,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price
of $0.375 per share. In addition, the holders of the New Senior Notes have
the right to designate a representative to attend all meetings of the
Company's Board of Directors and Compensation Committee.
During September 1996, the Company purchased $1,320,000 in principal amount
of its 12.875% subordinated debentures. As a result of the transaction, the
Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $560,000, net of related
costs, in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The Company reduced its
mandatory sinking fund requirements with these debentures.
In September 1996, the Company delivered $3,750,000 of its 12.875%
debentures, that it had previously acquired, to the Indenture Trustee, in
lieu of making the mandatory sinking fund payment due October 1, 1996 in
cash.
The Company does not anticipate making any additional purchases of its stock
and anticipates that capital expenditures for fiscal 1998 will be less than
$500,000. Depending on price and availability the Company may seek to
purchase a portion of its outstanding 12.875% debentures to further reduce
its sinking fund obligation and reduce interest expense.
The Company has a secured revolving line of credit of up to $13,500,000,
through June 1998, to cover the Company's projected needs for operating
capital and letters of credit to fund the purchase of imported goods. Direct
borrowings under this line bear interest at the annual rate of 2.5% above
the prime rate of Chase Manhattan Bank. Availability under the line of
credit is subject to certain agreed upon formulas. Under the terms of this
financing, the Company has agreed to pledge substantially all of its assets,
except the Company's domestic inventory and real property. This credit
facility replaced the financing agreements which the Company had with two
banks.
Management believes its available borrowing under its secured revolving line
of credit, along with anticipated internally generated funds, will be
sufficient to cover its working capital requirements.
Continued Stock Exchange Listing
The Company has been notified in writing by the American Stock Exchange that
the Exchange has determined to defer further consideration of the Company's
eligibility for continued listing on the Exchange, subject to periodic
reviews of the Company's filings with the Commission.

MOVIE STAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business - Movie Star, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a
New York corporation organized in 1935, which designs, manufactures,
markets and sells an extensive line of ladies' sleepwear, robes,
leisurewear, loungewear, panties and daywear; and also operates 28
retail outlet stores.
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles also requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Inventory - Inventory is valued at lower of cost (first-in, first-out)
or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are
stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided by the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings and improvements 15-30 years
Machinery & Equipment 5 years
Office furniture and equipment 5 years
Leasehold improvements Lesser of life of
the asset or life of lease
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized upon shipment. Although
sales are made without the right of return, in certain instances, the
Company may accept returns or agree to allowances. Allowances for
sales returns are recorded as a component of net sales in the period
in which the related sales are recognized.
Income Taxes - The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (see Note
9).
Net Income (Loss) Per Share - Net income (loss) per share is based on
the net income (loss) for each year divided by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding. Common share equivalents (stock options)
were not dilutive in each of the three years ended June 30, 1997.
Deferred Costs - Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life
of the debt using the straight-line method.
Accounting Pronouncements - In February 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which is effective for the
Company for the year ended June 30, 1998. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the
standards for computing earnings per share previously found in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 15 and
F-7
<PAGE>
establishing new standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share. Application of SFAS No. 128 is not expected to has a
significant affect on the Company's earnings per share.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information, " which is effective for the Company for the year ended
June 30, 1999. SFAS No. 131 requires disclosure about operating
segments in complete sets of financial statements and in condensed
financial statements of interim periods issued to shareholders. The
new standard also requires that the Company report certain information
about their products and services, the geographic areas in which they
operate, and major customers. The Company has not yet determined the
impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 131.
Reclassification - Certain items in prior years in specific captions
of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to
consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for

At June 30, 1995, the Company had notes payable aggregating
$15,803,000 under line of credit agreements from two banks. Pursuant
to the agreements, all borrowings were collateralized by accounts
receivable and finished goods inventory imported pursuant to letters
of credit. Interest on the outstanding notes was payable monthly at up
to 1 percent above the prime rate.
On October 13, 1995, the Company entered into new agreements under
similar terms with the same banks, which was to expire on June 30,
1996, with interest on outstanding borrowings being payable monthly at
1.25 percent above the prime rate.
On April 24, 1996, the Company terminated these line of credit
agreements and entered into a line of credit agreement with an
unrelated lender. Under the new credit agreement, the Company may
borrow for either
F-9
<PAGE>
revolving loans or letters of credit up to the lesser of $13,500,000
or the sum of 80 percent of the net amount of eligible receivables, 50
percent of the eligible inventory and 50 percent of the eligible
letters of credit. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company
has pledged substantially all of its assets, except the Company's
domestic inventory and real property. Interest on outstanding
borrowings is payable at 2.5 percent above the prime rate. The Company
is obligated to pay a facility fee of $270,000 over the term of the
agreement which expires on June 30, 1998.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to meet
certain financial covenants, of which the Company is in compliance at
June 30, 1997. Furthermore, the Company is prohibited from paying
dividends or incurring additional indebtedness, as defined, outside
the normal course of business.
At June 30, 1997, the Company had no borrowing outstanding under this
line of credit and had approximately $2,948,000 outstanding letters of
credit. Additionally, the Company had a cash balance of approximately
$2,683,000 deposited with the lender which earned interest at 5.25
percent at June 30, 1997.

</TABLE>
12.875% Subordinated Debentures - On October 10, 1986, the Company
sold $25,000,000 of 12.875% Subordinated Debentures due October 1,
2001 (the "Debentures"). Interest payments on the outstanding
Debentures are due semi-annually on October 1 and April 1. The
Debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the
Company, at any time, and are subordinated to all senior debt (as
defined). The Debentures contain covenants with respect to limitations
on dividends and stock purchases. At June 30, 1997, the Company is
prohibited from paying dividends and making stock purchases.
Annual sinking fund payments of $3,750,000 are required commencing
October 1, 1996. However, required payments in any year may be reduced
by Debentures previously purchased by the Company. The total purchases
of Debentures at June 30, 1996 were $2,550,000. On September 13, 1996,
the Company purchased an additional $1,320,000 of Debentures for
approximately $824,000 including related costs. Furthermore in 1996,
the Company acquired $10,187,000 of 12.875% Debentures in an exchange
(discussed below). The Company reduced the October 1, 1996 sinking
fund requirement and intends to reduce sinking fund payments through
1998 and part of 1999 by these purchased Debentures.
8% Senior Notes - In April 1996, the Company reached an agreement with
holders of $10,187,000 of the Company's outstanding 12.875%
Debentures. The holders of these Debentures agreed to exchange such
Debentures for the equivalent principal amount of a new series of
notes ("Senior Notes") bearing interest at
F-10
<PAGE>
a rate of 8 percent per annum, payable semi-annually (April 1 and
October 1) which will be senior to the remaining outstanding
Debentures. Additionally, these Debenture holders agreed to defer the
receipt of interest due April 1, 1996 (approximately $656,000) and due
October 1, 1996 (approximately $434,000) and to accept Senior Notes in
exchange for such deferred interest. The Senior Notes will carry the
right to convert up to approximately $716,000 of the notes into
1,908,000 shares of the Company's common stock. On October 1, 1996,
the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes approximated
$11,276,000 and will not provide for any amortization of principal and
will mature on September 1, 2001.
The debt exchange closed on October 15, 1996, but became effective
retroactively as of April 1, 1996, the date of the deferral of
interest on the 12.875% Debentures. In connection with the debt
exchange, the Company incurred certain costs which have been
capitalized and will be amortized over the life of the Senior Notes
using the straight-line method. The Senior Notes contain covenants
with respect to limitations on dividends and stock purposes. At June
30, 1997, the Company is prohibited from paying dividends and making
stock purchases.

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair
Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair value amounts have
been determined by the Company, using available market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is
required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair
value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current
market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated
fair value amounts.

Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and
Other Noncurrent Assets - The carrying value of these items
approximates fair value, based on the short-term maturities of these
instruments.
Long-Term Debt - The fair value of these securities are estimated
based on quoted market prices. If no market quotes are available,
interest rates that are currently available to the Company for
issuance of the debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are
used to estimate fair value of debt issues.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent
information available to management as of June 30, 1997 and 1996.
Although management is not aware of any factors that would
significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts
have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial
statements since those respective dates, and current estimates of fair
value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current
market exchange.

Loss on Abandonment of Leased Premises - During 1996, the Company
vacated two floors, separately leased to the Company, and combined its
operation into an existing floor leased by the Company in the same
building. The Company terminated and settled its lease obligations for
the vacated floors for $800,000 and wrote-off the remaining net book
value of related leasehold improvements of $270,000.
Rental expense for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $787,000,
$1,471,000 and $1,863,000, respectively. Rental expense for 1996
excludes the $800,000 lease settlement.
11. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts
receivable. The Company's customers are not concentrated in any
specific geographic region but are concentrated in the retail
industry. One customer accounted for 12, 25, and 22 percent of the
Company's net sales in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In
fiscal 1997, another two customers accounted for 17 and 11 percent of
the Company's net sales, respectively. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. The Company
establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors
surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends
and other information.
12. STOCK PLANS, OPTIONS AND WARRANT
Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The Company has an Employee Stock
Ownership and Capital Accumulation Plan and Trust covering
substantially all of its employees, pursuant to which it can elect to
make contributions to the Trust in such amounts as may be determined
by the Board of Directors. The Company contributed $91,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1996 in order to allow the plan to meet required
distributions in connection with plant closings. No contributions were
made for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1995.
Stock Options - The Company has an Incentive Stock Option Plan ("1983
ISOP"), pursuant to which the Company has reserved 5,000 shares at
June 30, 1997. This plan expired by its terms on June 30, 1993, but
5,000 previous grants remained outstanding at June 30, 1997, of which
3,300 are presently exercisable. The 1983 ISOP provided for the
issuance of options to employees to purchase common stock of the
Company at a price not less than fair market value on the date of
grant.
On December 8, 1994, the Company's stockholders' approved a new
Incentive Stock Option Plan ("1994 ISOP") to replace the 1983 ISOP
discussed above. Options granted, pursuant to the plan, are not
subject to a uniform vesting schedule. The plan permits the issuance
of options to employees to purchase common stock of the Company at a
price not less than fair market value on the date of the option grant.
The plan reserves 2,000,000 shares of common stocks for grant and
provides that the term of each award be determined by the Compensation
Committee with all awards made within the ten-year period following
the effective date. During fiscal 1997, 1,495,000 options were granted
under this plan and 1,160,000 were canceled, 452,000 of which were
replaced with options to purchase 700,000 shares at an exercise price
of $.625 per share.
The Company also has a Key Employee Stock Option Plan covering the
issuance of up to 1,667,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
During fiscal 1997, 333,000 options under this plan were canceled and
replaced with options to purchase 350,000 shares at an exercise price
of $.625 per share which are outstanding at June 30, 1997. All options
granted are presently exercisable.
F-14
<PAGE>
The Company has also granted, in fiscal 1989, nonqualified options to
certain nonemployee sales representatives to purchase an aggregate of
133,000 shares at an exercise price of $2.36.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
Stock-Based Compensation" was effective for the Company for fiscal
1997. SFAS No. 123 encourages (but does not require) compensation
expense to be measured based on the fair value of the equity
instrument awarded. In accordance with APB No. 25, no compensation
cost has been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations
for the Company's stock option plans. If compensation cost for the
Company's stock option plans had been determined in accordance with
the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No.123, the Company's net
income (loss) would have been $183,000, $(5,461,000) and $(5,212,000)
for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and the earnings (loss) per
share would have been $.02, $(.39), and $(.37) for 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. This pro forma information may not be
representative of the amounts to be expected in future years as the
fair value method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123 has not
been applied to options granted prior to 1995.

Warrant - In August 1993, in connection with an agreement with a
financial consulting firm, the Company granted a warrant to purchase
30,000 shares of its common stock at $1.69 per share to the
consultants. The warrant is exercisable at anytime through August
2000. No expense related to such warrant was recorded since it was not
material.
13. SPECIAL CHARGE
During fiscal 1995, the Company recorded a charge of $3,000,000 for
costs associated with the divestiture of its men's work and leisure
shirt division. This charge consisted of the write-down, to its
estimated realizable value, of this division's inventory of
$2,250,000, classified as cost of sales, and property, plant and
equipment of $750,000, classified separately as a special charge.
Prior to fiscal 1997, the inventory write-down of $2,250,000 was
previously classified separately as a special charge.

Mark M. David was re-elected Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer on November 20, 1996. On August 14, 1995, Mr. David relinquished
the position of Chief Executive Officer, but remained as Chairman of the
Board. He had been Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer since
December 1985, President from April 1983 to December 1987 and Chief
Operating Officer of the Company since the merger with Stardust Inc. in
1981 until December 1987. Prior to the merger, he was founder, Executive
Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Sanmark Industries Inc. In
April 1996, Mr. David resumed his duties as Chief Executive Officer.
Melvyn Knigin was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors and
promoted to Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer on February
5, 1997 and was promoted to President on September 4, 1997. Since joining
the Company in 1987, he was the President of Cinema Etoile, the Company's
upscale intimate apparel division. Prior to joining the Company, he had
spent most of his career in the intimate apparel industry.
Saul Pomerantz, CPA, was elected Senior Vice President on December 3, 1987
and was re-elected on November 20, 1996 and was promoted to Executive Vice
President on September 4, 1997. Previously, he was Vice President-Finance

Gary W. Krat was elected to the Board of Directors on November 20, 1996.
Mr. Krat has been Senior Vice President of SunAmerica Inc. since 1990. He
is also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SunAmerica's subsidiaries,

Fordham University and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of
Pittsburgh.
Joel M. Simon was elected to the Board of Directors on November 20, 1996.
Mr. Simon is currently self-employed as a private investor. From 1990 until
the end of 1996, Mr. Simon was the Executive Vice President and Chief
Operating Officer and, (until July 1993), was a director of a group of
affiliated companies known as Olympia & York Companies (USA)("O&Y-USA"),
subsidiaries of a Canadian multinational real estate concern. Prior to
becoming Chief Operating Officer of O&Y-USA, from 1985 until the end of
1989, Mr. Simon was the Executive Vice President-Administration and a
director of O&Y-USA. Mr. Simon is a Certified Public Accountant and was a
senior partner in
III-1
<PAGE>
an accounting firm prior to joining O&Y-USA. In 1992, O&Y-USA experienced a
liquidity crisis. The O&Y-USA crisis was caused and exacerbated by its
inability to obtain financial support from its Canadian parent, as it had
in the past, because of the parent company's own financial crises. Since
then, O&Y-USA has been in the process of restructuring its business and
financial obligations. Many of the O&Y-USA companies filed voluntary
petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Substantially all of these companies have had their plans of reorganization
confirmed and consummated. The balance of the companies are expected to
have their plans confirmed.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation
Joel M. Simon, Gary W. Krat and Mark M. David were appointed by the Board
of Directors, and each of them agreed to serve as members of the
Compensation Committee (the "Committee").
The salaries of certain officers, other than Mr. David, were increased for
fiscal years 1997 and 1998.
Compensation Policies
In determining the appropriate levels of executive compensation for fiscal
year 1997, the Committee did not apply the policies previously established
by the Committee for determining compensation; rather, the Committee based
its decisions solely on the Company's financial condition.
Prior to fiscal year 1995, the Committee had based its recommendations to
the Board of Directors on (1) the Company's ability to attract and retain
experienced individuals with proven leadership and managerial skills, (2)
the executives' motivation to enhance the Company's performance for the
benefit of its shareholders and customers and (3) the executives'
contributions to the accomplishment of the Company's annual and long-term
business objectives.
Salaries generally had been determined based on the Committee's evaluation
of the value of each executive's contribution to the Company, results of the
past fiscal year in light of prevailing business conditions, the Company's
goals for the ensuing fiscal year and prevailing levels at companies
considered to be comparable to and competitors of the Company.
In addition to base salary compensation, the Committee had also, from time
to time, recommended that stock options be granted to the executive officers
of the Company in order to reward the officers' commitment to maximizing
shareholder return and long-term results.
Base Salary Compensation
Based on recommendations from the Company's Chairman of the Board and the
other Committee members' collective business experience, base salaries are
determined from year to year. The Committee does not utilize outside
consultants to obtain comparative salary information, but believes that the
salaries paid by the Company are competitive, by industry standards, with
those paid by companies with similar sales volume to the Company. The
Committee places considerably more weight on each executive's contribution
to the Company's development and maintenance of its sources of supply,
manufacturing capabilities, marketing strategies and customer relationships
than on the compensation policies of the Company's competitors; however, the
Committee does not establish or rely on target levels of performance in any
of these areas to arrive at its recommendations.
The current senior executives of the Company have been associated with the
Company in senior
III-2
<PAGE>
management positions for periods ranging from thirteen to more than
twenty-five years. They have been primarily responsible for the formulation
and implementation of the Company's recent financial and operational
restructuring and provide the Company with a broad range of management
skills which are considered by the Committee to be an essential source of
stability and a base for the Company's future growth.
Stock Option Grants
In 1983, the Company adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "ISOP") to
provide a vehicle to supplement the base salary compensation paid to key
employees. All of the Company's senior executives were eligible to receive
grants under the ISOP. Options under the ISOP were granted at fair market
value at the date of grant. In the past, the Committee has recommended and
the Board of Directors has granted options under the ISOP to each of the
senior executives, except the Chairman of the Board. Mark M. David has not
received options under the ISOP because his ownership of shares of the
Company exceeds 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The options
granted under the ISOP were exercisable at a rate of 11% per year for the
first eight years of service after grant and 12% for the ninth year after
grant. No options have been granted to the Company's senior executives under
the ISOP since 1986 and no further options may be granted under the ISOP.
The 1983 ISOP has expired.
On July 15, 1994, the Committee adopted a new Incentive Stock Option Plan
(the "1994 ISOP") to replace the expired 1983 ISOP. All of the Company's
management and administrative employees are eligible to receive grants under
the 1994 ISOP. The 1994 ISOP was approved by the Company's shareholders at
the Company's annual meeting on December 8, 1994. Subject to shareholder
approval, options under the 1994 ISOP were granted to each of the Company's
senior executives (except Mark M. David) on July 15, 1994 at fair market
value at that date. As a condition to the grant of options to the Company's
senior executives, the Committee required each of the recipients to
surrender for cancellation any interest in options granted prior to July 15,
1994.
In addition to the ISOP, in 1988, the Committee recommended and the Board of
Directors adopted a non-qualified Management Option Plan (the "1988
Non-qualified Plan") to provide an additional continuing form of long-term
incentive to selected officers of the Company. The 1988 Nonqualified Plan
was approved by the Company's shareholders at the Company's annual meeting
on December 13, 1988. Generally, options under the 1988 Non-qualified Plan
are issued with a 10-year exercise period in order to encourage the
executive officers to take a long-term approach to the formulation and
accomplishment of the Company's goals. In 1988, the Committee recommended
and the Board of Directors approved the grant of options under the
non-qualified option plan to all of the Company's then executive officers.
Mark David is the only current executive officer of the Company who retains
any options granted under the 1988 Non-qualified Plan.
In January 1997, Messrs. Simon and Krat, the independent Directors serving
on the Committee, recommended that the Company grant new options to Mark
David under the 1988 Non-qualified Plan at a price equal to the market price
for the Company's shares on the date of the grant. As a condition to the
grant of new options to Mr. David under the 1988 Non-qualified Plan, the
Committee required Mr. David to surrender for cancellation any interest in
options granted to him prior to January 29, 1997.
Also in January 1997, the independent directors serving on the Committee
recommended that the Company grant new options under the 1994 ISOP to Saul
Pomerantz and Melvyn Knigin at a price equal to the market price for the
Company's shares on the date of the grant. The grant of new options to
Messrs. Pomerantz and Knigin was also subject to the condition that they
surrender for cancellation any interest in options granted to them prior to
January 29, 1997.
III-3
<PAGE>
Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer
For fiscal year 1997, the annual base salary paid to Mark M. David, the
Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, was not
increased. The Committee believed that it would be more appropriate to
recognize Mr. David's contribution to the Company's improved performance in
fiscal year 1997 through the grant of new options under the 1988
Non-qualified Plan rather than by increasing Mr. David's base salary.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Other than the Company's Chairman of the Board, there are no Compensation
Committee interlocks or insider participation. Mr. David did not participate
in the Committee's determinations of compensation for fiscal year 1997 or
fiscal year 1998.
