                   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, 1999 (although those
         financial statements are in the process of being restated and an
         amendment to such Form 10-K with respect thereto filed, See Note 2). 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, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of
         the operating results for the full year.

2.       RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

         On January 31, 2000 the Company announced that it would conduct a
         review of prior financial results. The Company also announced that it
         had retained the services of Mahoney Cohen & Company to assist in the
         review. The review has been completed and, as a result of its findings,
         the Company will issue restatements of its consolidated financial
         statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, the three months
         ended June 30, 1999 and for the six months ended September 30, 1999. It
         was determined that certain sales were improperly recognized including
         sales recognized in the incorrect period and certain costs and
         allowances were recorded in the incorrect period or improperly
         recorded. The financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31,
         1999 as restated will show additional charges to sales, sales
         allowances, and costs of sales of $1,651,000. Accordingly, net income
         of $741,569 previously reported has been restated to reflect a net loss
         of $254,431, net of an income tax benefit of $655,000. A summary of the
         effects of the March 31, 1999 restatement is follows:

                                   (UNAUDITED)

         The Company has not yet filed its Form 10-K/A for March 31, 1999 or its
         Forms 10-Q/A for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and the six
         months ended September 30, 1999. The comparative financial information
         contained herein is reflective of the restated financial results for
         the periods presented.

4.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of
         shares outstanding of common stock and dilutive common stock
         equivalents during each period presented. The Company has adopted
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
         Per Share," which requires the presentation of: (1) "Basic Earnings per
         Share," computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by
         the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
         period and (2) "Diluted Earnings per Share," which gives effect to all
         dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the
         period, by increasing the denominator to include the number of
         additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive
         potential common shares had been issued. For the nine months ended
         December 31, 1999 and for the three months ended December 31, 1999 and
         1998, the effect of computing dilutive common shares is antidilutive.

5.       SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

         During the nine months ended December 31, 1999, 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, 1999, the Company has repurchased 130,000 shares at an aggregate
         cost of $247,339, including 55,000 shares repurchased during the nine
         months ended December 31, 1999. The program expires March 31, 2000.

6.       LITIGATION

         Estate of Cheng Gen Zhang v. Jenna Lane, Inc. et al. This case was
         commenced in October 1999 and alleges that the Company's employee,
         while driving within the scope of his employment, struck and killed Mr.
         Zhang. The complaint alleges $10 million in damages. This amount is
         significantly greater than the Company's current limits on its relevant
         insurance coverage and the Company has engaged separate counsel with
         respect to this excess amount. The Company has recently been advised
         that this case has settled for $225,000, an amount well within the
         Company's insurance coverage limits.

7.       NASDAQ DELISTING

         On February 1, 2000, Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Panel determined
         to delist the Company's securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market
         effective with the close of business on that date. Effective February
         2, 2000, the Company's securities have been listed on the OTC Bulletin
         Board. The Company does not intend to appeal the decision of the Panel.

8.       RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued the
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),
         "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which
         will be effective for the Company's fiscal year 2000. This statement
         establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
         derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an
         asset or liability measured at its fair value. The statement also
         requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized in
         earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company
         is not currently affected by SFAS 133.

</TABLE>

Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared with Three Months Ended
December 31, 1998

Net sales of $9.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 1999
represented an increase of $400,000, or 4.3% over net sales of $9.3 million in
the three months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in net sales was
primarily attributable to the JLNY sales group, catalog sales group, and the
children's sales group (TLC for Kidz), offset by the elimination of its sweater
sales group.

The Company's gross profit was virtually unchanged at $1.9 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. Gross profit margin decreased to 19.7%
in the three months ended December 31, 1999 from 20.5% in the three months ended
December 31, 1998.

Operating expenses increased $465,000, or 19.9%, to $2.8 million in the three
months ended December 31, 1999 from $2.3 million in the three months ended
December 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to costs incurred for
additional personnel and related expenses associated with the projected sales
volume for the period, which did not fully materialize. Though the Company
initiated certain overhead reductions during September 1999, some operating cost
continuations occurred during the three months ended December 31, 1999.

Operating loss was $724,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999
compared to operating loss of $439,000 for the three months ended December
31, 1998.

Interest expense remained virtually unchanged at $286,000 and $288,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

As a result of the above factors, pre-tax loss increased from $725,000 in the
three months ended December 31, 1998 to $1,176,000 in the three months ended
December 31, 1999.

Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared with Nine Months Ended December
31, 1998

Net sales of $48.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 1999
represented an increase of $8.5 million, or 21.1% over net sales of $40.2
million in the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in net sales
was primarily attributable to the JLNY sales group, the catalog sales group and
its children's sales group (TLC for Kidz), offset by the elimination of its
sweater sales group.

The Company's gross profit decreased $475,000, or 5.8% to $7.8 million for the
nine months ended December 31, 1999 from $8.2 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998. Gross profit margin decreased to 16.0% in the nine months
ended December 31, 1999 from 20.5% in the nine months ended December 31, 1998.
This decrease was primarily due to liquidation of certain excess import
inventories as well as an increase in customers' discounts, claims and
allowances during the nine months ended December 31, 1999.

Operating expenses increased $2.8 million or 40.7% to $9.7 million in the nine
months ended December 31, 1999 from $6.9 million in the nine months ended
December 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to costs incurred for
additional personnel and related expenses associated with the projected sales
volume for the period, which did not fully materialize. Additionally, and
primarily during the six months ended September 30, 1999, the Company incurred
certain inefficiencies and cost overlaps related to its move to its new
warehouse and distribution center in Secaucus, New Jersey and the consolidation
of its showrooms.

Interest expense increased from $867,000 in the nine months ended December 31,
1998 to $968,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 1999. This is primarily
the result of additional borrowings for working capital needs.

As a result of the above factors, pre-tax income decreased from $506,000 in the
nine months ended December 31, 1998 to a pre-tax loss of $3.1 million in the
nine months ended December, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating  activities  provided net cash of $23,000 and  $327,000 for the three
and nine months ended  December 31, 1999, respectively.

The Company's capital expenditures totalled $870,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1999, of which $710,000 was financed through a leasing company. The
Company does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures at this
time.

In September 1998, the Company adopted a share repurchase program to buy back up
to 500,000 shares of the Company's stock over an eighteen month period. As of
December 31, 1999, the company has repurchased 130,000 shares at an average
price of $1.90. This program expired March 31, 2000.

In September, 1999, the Company initiated certain cost reduction programs which
are inclusive of personnel reductions, the closing of certain under-performing
sales groups, and the streamlining of internal operations and procedures. The
result to date has been a decrease of approximately 20% of fixed operating
expenses.

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.

                         PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings: Except as described below there are no material
        pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which
        any of its property is subject. The Company is subject to normal
        litigations in the ordinary course of business.

     Jenna Lane, Inc. v. S.M.B. Textiles, Howard Bromberg, The Feldman Co.,
Nissho Iwai Textile Inc. and North Pole LLC. The Company filed this suit in
Supreme Court, New York County, New York State, alleging late delivery of goods,
resulting in over $125,000 in damages. The dispute with Nissho Iwai Textiles is
now the subject of a separate arbitration proceeding. Remaining defendants are
North Pole LLC and Howard Bromberg. Defendant North Pole has answered the
complaint and asserted counterclaims for goods allegedly delivered and unpaid
for. Defendant Bromberg has answered the complaint without asserting any
counterclaims. It is premature to estimate the likelihood of an unfavorable
outcome.

     Estate of Cheng Gen Zhang v. Jenna Lane, Inc. et al. This case was
commenced in October 1999 and alleges that the Company's employee, while driving
within the scope of his employment, struck and killed Mr. Zhang. The complaint
alleges $10 million in damages. This amount is significantly greater than the
Company's current limits on its relevant insurance coverage and the Company has
engaged separate counsel with respect to this excess amount. The Company has
recently been advised that this case has been settled for $225,000, an amount
well within the Company's insurance coverage limits.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities:  None.

Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities:  None.

Item 4.  Submissions of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders: None.

Item 5.  Other Information:

         Financial Review

     On January 31, 2000, the Company announced that it is reviewing its
financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, the three months
ended June 30, 1999 and the six months ended September 30, 1999 regarding the
timing of recordation of certain revenue and expense items and related
inventory. The review has been completed and the Company will restate its
previously issued consolidated financial statements for such periods. It was
determined that certain sales were improperly recognized including sales
recognized in the incorrect period and certain costs and allowances were
recorded in the incorrect period or improperly recorded. The financial results
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 as restated will show additional
charges to sales, sales allowances, and costs of sales of $1,651,000.
Accordingly, net income of $741,569 previously reported has been restated to
reflect a net loss $254,431, net of an income tax benefit of $655,000.

         Nasdaq De-Listing

     On February 1, 2000, Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Panel determined

the close of business on that date. Effective February 2, 2000, the Company's
Common Stock has been listed on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Company does not

         Dobies Resignation from Board of Directors

     In December 1999, Mitchell Dobies, former President and Co-Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, resigned from the Board of Directors. Mr. Dobies'
Consulting Agreement with the Company expired on January 31, 2000.

         Stock Repurchase Program

     As of December 31, 1999, the Company has repurchased an aggregate of
130,000 shares of its Common Stock under its stock repurchase program at an
average price of $1.90 per share. The program expired March 31, 2000.

          Expiration of Warrants

     On March 15, 2000, the Company issued a press release confirming that all
of its then outstanding Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants, exercisable at
$6.36 per share (after adjusting for a stock dividend effected in 1998), would
expire in accordance with their terms on March 19, 2000. The warrants, which
traded on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "JLNYW," could not be
traded after March 19, 2000. The Company permitted a three trading day broker
protect period for the exercise of any warrants into shares of Common Stock
taking place prior to March 19, 2000. This broker protect period expired at
5:00 pm on Wednesday, March 22, 2000.
