                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)




1.                BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jenna
         Lane, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
         "Company"). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance
         with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
         information and the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain
         information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These
         consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
         the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
         Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission for the year ended March 31, 1998. In the opinion of
         management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
         adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim
         results have been included. The results of operations for the nine
         months ended December 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
         operating results for the full year.

3.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
         "Earnings per Share" which modifies the calculation of earnings per
         share ("EPS"). The Standard replaces the previous presentation of
         primary and fully diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
         computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
         weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
         Diluted EPS includes the dilution of common stock equivalents, and is
         computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to APB Opinion 15. All
         prior periods presented have been restated to reflect this adoption.

3.       EARNINGS PER SHARE (Continued)

         The following table reconciles the number of common shares outstanding
         with the number of common and common equivalent shares used in
         computing earnings per share (1997 share data has been adjusted to
         reflect a 10% stock dividend paid March, 1998):

</TABLE>

         Computation of diluted earnings per share is not reflected for the
         three months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 because including
         potential common shares will result in an antidilutive per-share amount
         due to the net loss in each period.

         Additional shares issuable assuming conversion of warrants is
         antidilutive for the nine months ended December 31, 1998.

4.       SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

         During the nine months ended December 31, 1998, the Company repurchased
         314,286 performance shares for $3,143 ($.01 per share).

         In September 1998, the Company adopted a share repurchase program to
         buy back up to 500,000 shares of the Company's stock. As of December
         31, 1998, the Company has repurchased 55,000 shares at an aggregate
         cost of $103,330.

5.       ACQUISITION

         On June 19, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of
         T.L.C. for Girls, Inc. (TLC), a manufacturer of children's wear for
         approximately $630,000 in cash, including related acquisition costs.
         The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly,
         TLC's results are included in the consolidated financial statements
         since the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over
         assets acquired (goodwill) represents substantially the entire
         acquisition cost.


6.       LICENSE AGREEMENT

         In July 1998, the Company entered into a license agreement to
         manufacture large size women's sportswear under the "BONGO" trademark.
         The agreement requires royalty payments based on net sales with annual
         minimums of $250,000, $425,000 and $650,000 during the initial three
         year term. An advance royalty of $88,000 was paid in June 1998.

7.       LEASES

         Operating Leases:

         In October 1998, the Company executed a six year lease for new
         administrative and warehouse space in Secaucus, New Jersey. The lease
         provides for a monthly rental of $33,400 through December, 2004.

         In January 1999, the Company executed a lease for larger showroom
         space. Upon occupancy, which is expected to take place in the late
         spring or early summer, the Company intends to consolidate a number of
         its other showrooms into this location. The lease provides for a
         monthly rental of $34,200 through July, 2006.

         Capital Leases:

         In November 1998, the Company entered into capital leases for the
         acquisition of computer hardware and software for its design, shipping
         and administrative departments and improvements to its new premises.
         The present value of the minimum lease payments amounted to $484,500.
         The leases require monthly payments of $11,900 through October 2001 and
         $7,300 thereafter, through October 2003, inclusive of interest ranging
         from 9.96% to 11.48%.

Three Months Ended December 31, 1998 Compared with Three Months Ended December 
31, 1997

Net sales of $9.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 1998
represented an increase of $1.6 million, or 19.8% over net sales of $7.7 million
in the three months ended December 31, 1997. The increase in net sales was
primarily attributable to the addition of the Company's sweater sales group
(Smart Objects), and its children's sales group (TLC for Kidz) with sales of
$1.2 million, and $1.0 million, respectively.

The Company's gross profit increased $647,000, or 51.8% to $1.9 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1998 from $1.2 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1997. Gross profit margin increased to 20.5% in the three
months ended December 31, 1998 from 16.2% in the three months ended December 31,
1997. This increase was primarily attributable to improved operating
efficiencies in domestic production areas as well as continued migration from
domestic factories to Carribbean basin regions. Gross margins, however, were
negatively impacted in the quarter by a higher percentage of off-price sales on
import products.

Operating expenses, including all transactions with the factor, increased
$916,000, or 53.7%, to $2.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 1998
from $1.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 1997. The increase was
primarily due to costs associated with the addition of new children's, sweater
and dress sales groups and reorganization of the existing mail order sales
group. An increase of $584,000 in payroll and related costs, including $157,000
in increased selling salaries, as well as an increase of $132,000 in selling
related expenses resulted from this expansion strategy. Factoring costs
increased $138,000 as a result of higher sales volume and additional interest on
increased factor borrowing.

                                      - 9 -


<PAGE>


As a result of the above factors, pre-tax loss increased from $456,000 in the
three months ended December 31, 1997 to $725,000 in the three months ended
December 31, 1998. The Company believes that its core business remains strong as
evidenced by its increasing revenues and margins. however, overall performance
was negatively impacted by the lower than anticipated sales volume in its "US
Polo", "Mail Order", "TLC for Kidz" and "Impatiens" sales groups, which did not
contribute to the Company's business as expected in 1998. The Company expects
the majority of these sales group to contribute to earnings in the fourth
quarter.

Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998 Compared with Nine Months Ended December 
31, 1997

Net sales of $40.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 1998
represented an increase of $9.4 million, or 30.7% over net sales of $30.8
million in the nine months ended December 31, 1997. The increase in net sales
was primarily attributable to the addition of the Company's sweater sales group
(Smart Objects), and its children's sales group (TLC for Kidz) with sales of
$2.7 million, and $4.4 million, respectively.

The Company's gross profit increased $2.6 million, or 45.3% to $8.2 million for
the nine months ended December 31, 1998 from $5.6 million for the nine months
ended December 31, 1997. Gross profit margin increased to 20.5% in the nine
months ended December 31, 1998 from 18.4% in the nine months ended December 31,
1997. This increase is primarily attributable to improved domestic production
operating efficiencies, a change in the Company's sales mix towards higher
margin fashion apparel rather than basic, and the overall higher margins on
import product.

Operating expenses, including all transactions with the factor, increased $2.5
million or 48.4% to $7.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 1998 from
$5.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 1997. The increase was
primarily due to an increase of $1.4 in payroll and related costs, including
$492,000 in increased selling salaries, as well as $612,000 in selling related
expenses which resulted from increased sales volume and the costs associated
with the expansion into new sales groups. Factoring costs increased $352,000 as
a result of higher sales volume and interest costs on increased factor
borrowings for working capital needs.

As a result of the above factors, pre-tax income increased 9.8% from $461,000 in
the nine months ended December 31, 1997 to $506,000 in the nine months ended
December 31, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities provided net cash of $113,000 and of $927,000 for the three
and nine months ended December 31, 1998, respectively. The principal use of
operating cash during the nine months was to finance the acquisition of
substantially all the assets of children's wear manufacturer, TLC for Girls,
Inc. for $630,000 and to repurchase the Company's common stock under its
September 1998 buyback program for $103,000.

The Company's capital expenditures totalled $490,000 and $560,000 for the three
and nine months ended December 31, 1998, respectively. $485,000 of these capital
expenditures were for computer, material handling, design, and office equipment
associated with upgrading information technology and its core business systems
as well as improvements to its new warehouse and distribution center and
administrative offices. These expenditures have been financed through a leasing
company. In connection with the foregoing, in October 1998, the Company executed
a six year lease agreement for the new premises (see Item 5, "Other
Information"). The lease provides for monthly rental of $33,400 through December
2004.







                                     - 10 -


<PAGE>



In January, 1999, the Company executed a lease for larger showroom space. The
lease provides for monthly rental of $34,200 through July, 2006.

In September 1998, the Company adopted a share repurchase program to buy back up
to 500,000 shares of the Company's stock. As of December 31, 1998 the Company
has repurchased 55,000 shares at an average price of $1.88 a share.

The Company believes that existing cash, anticipated cash flows from operations
and availability of advances under its factoring arrangement will be sufficient
to support the Company's operations for at least the next 12 months.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", which establishes standards for reporting the components of
comprehensive income and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information", which replaces existing segment disclosure
requirements and requires reporting certain financial information regarding
operating segments. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. SFAS No. 130 and
131 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. The Company is not currently affected by SFAS No. 130 and is
in the process of evaluating the specific requirements of SFAS No. 131. These
statements will affect disclosure and presentation in the financial statements,
but will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

         New Showroom and Warehouse Leases

         In January 1999, the Company executed a lease with respect to the
entire 24th floor in its current building at 1407 Broadway in Manhattan. The
Company intends, upon occupying this space in the late spring or early summer,
to consolidate a number of its other showrooms into a single space. Monthly
rental of this space will be $34,200. The landlord also is providing $342,000 in
construction allowances to the Company. The lease runs from occupancy through
July 31, 2006. Upon occupancy of the new space, the Company's current lease of
Suite 2004 in the same building will be terminated. The Company has not yet
received an executed counterpart of the lease from the landlord, but anticipates
that it will be received shortly.

         As of October 13, 1998, the Company executed a lease with respect to 
72,206 square feet of office and warehouse space in Secaucus, New Jersey. The 
Company's warehouse and related office staff (including certain of its senior 
executives) moved into this space in February 1999. The Company also intends to 
move most of its design staff from its current location in Manhattan into the 
new Secaucus space in the near future. This move continues the Company's effort 
to consolidate its operations into two primary locations. Monthly rent on the
Secaucus space is $33,395.28. As part of the lease, the landlord performed a
significant amount of work at its expense to prepare the space for the Company's
occupancy. The Company also expended and will expend approximately $250,000 as
additional efforts to prepare the space, which amounts will be paid through a 
third-party leasing arrangement. The lease runs from January 1, 1999 through 
December 31, 2004.

         The Company has sent a termination notice to the landlord of its 
previous warehouse space in Cranbury, New Jersey, which termination is based 
upon the Company's belief that the landlord breached certain material 
obligations under the agreement. Notwithstanding this termination by the 
Company, there can be no assurance that the landlord will not claim that the 
Company's termination was improper and seek continuing payment of rent or other
unspecified damages, or seek to negotiate a settlement of the matter which 
could involve substantial cost to the Company, despite the Company's position 
that the landlord's breach justified the Company's termination. The Company has
been seeking and continues to seek a new tenant for its former warehouse space 
in an effort to mitigate any potential damages in this matter, but there can be
no assurance that it will be able to successfully locate such a tenant, or that
the landlord will be willing to enter into a lease with that tenant.

         New Computer Hardware and Software

         The Company recently acquired new computer hardware and software,
timed to be

                                    - 12 -
                                      
<PAGE>
delivered and installed in the new warehouse in Secaucus, which the Company
believes will significantly enhance the flow and extent of information
throughout the Company, including integration of all sales groups and other
units within the Company's administrative infrastructure, and will ensure that
the Company's operations will not encounter problems associated with the
so-called "Year 2000" computer problem (see "Year 2000 Computer Issue" below).
The system, including software, hardware and related training and consulting, is
expected to cost approximately $600,000, most of which will be paid in the form
of a lease over a five year period. The final amount will depend on the extent
of training and consulting required. The Company plans for the new system to be
fully operational throughout the Company in early to mid-summer of 1999.

         Stock Buyback Program

         In September 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an
18-month program to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common
stock in the public market. Repurchases have taken place in the discretion of
the management, subject to market price at the time, and are subject to
available financing. Through January 31, 1999, the Company has repurchased an
aggregate of 75,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.37 per
share to $2.15 per share.

         Year 2000 Computer Issue

         What is commonly known as the "Year 2000 Issue" arises because many
computer hardware and software systems use only two digits to represent the
year. As a result, these systems and programs may not calculate dates beyond
1999, which may cause errors in information or system failures.

         With respect to its internal systems, as indicated above, the Company
is taking appropriate steps to remedy the Year 2000 issues and does not expect
the costs of these efforts to be material. However, the Year 2000 readiness of
the Company's suppliers may vary. While the Company does not believe the Year
2000 matters disclosed above will have a material impact on its business,
financial condition or results of its operations, it is uncertain whether or to
what extent the Company may be effected by such matters.
