JENNA LANE, INC.
Rule 12b-25 Notification
Part IV, Item (3)
The Company anticipates that its results of operations for the six
months ended September 30, 1999 will reflect a net loss of approximately
$900,000, compared to net income of $717,000 for the corresponding six months
ended September 30, 1998. The net loss for the three months ended September 30,
1999 of approximately $730,000 compares to net income of $348,000 for the
corresponding three months in the prior year.
The Company currently believes that the expected loss is primarily
attributable to the following factors:
* Sales volume, although increasing more than 20% from a year
ago, did not achieve planned sales. However, increased selling
and general and administrative expenses were incurred in
anticipation of higher volume.
* Erosion of gross margin resulting from liquidation of certain
excess import inventories during the quarter.
* Domestic production and distribution inefficiencies affected
scheduled shipments and resulted in significantly greater
customer claims and allowances than the Company had
historically experienced.
* The payment of $165,000 in settlement of the Company's
litigation involving its license with U.S. Polo Association.
