ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for the three years ended March 31, 1999.

HIGHLIGHTS

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 has restated its
previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 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
restated adjustments reflect 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.

The Company designs, manufactures (through contractors) and markets high
quality, popular priced "junior", "missy", and large size basic and fashion
sportswear and other apparel for women and children. The Company primarily
serves both mass merchandise and specialty retail store chains. The Company's
products are manufactured in a variety of woven and knit fabrications.

In January 1998, the Company established the Smart Objects Sales group to sell
junior and large size moderately priced domestic knit sweaters. Full scale
operations started in Fall 1998.

In February 1998, the Company entered into a license agreement with the master
licensee of the United States Polo Association to utilize the US Polo
Association brand. The Company has not made certain payments under the agreement
because of its belief that the licensor has breached the license agreement and
has brought an action against the licensor and other parties (see Item 3 "Legal
Proceedings").

In May 1998, the Company established its children's sales group. On June 19,
1998, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of children's wear
manufacturer T.L.C. for Girls, Inc. ("TLC"), a debtor-in-possession under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankuptcy Code, for an aggregate purchase price
of $630,000.

In July 1998, the Company entered into a license agreement for the "Bongo"
trademark. The initial term of the agreement extends to June 2002 and requires
certain guaranteed minimum royalties. The Company has been merchandising large
size women's clothing under this license.

In July 1998, the Company formed a sales group for dresses under the name
"Impatiens" to sell petite, missy and large size moderate price dresses.

</TABLE>

Year Ended March 31, 1999 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 1998

Net sales of $59.2 million in the year ended March 31, 1999 represented an
increase of $16.6 million, or 39.0% over net sales of $42.6 million in the year
ended March 31, 1998. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to
the addition of the Company's sweater sales groups (Smart Objects) and its
children's sales group (TLC) with sales of $3.1 million and $7.1 million,
respectively. In addition, the Company's established core sales groups (Jenna
Lane and Jenna Lane Women), representing domestic and import products,
experienced strong demand.

The Company's gross profit increased $3.2 million, or 40%, to $11.2 million for
the year ended March 31, 1999 from $8.0 million for the year ended March 31,
1998. Gross profit margin remained unchanged at approximately 19% in the years
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.

Operating expenses increased $4.1 million, or 60.6%, to $10.9 million in the
year ended March 31, 1999 from $6.8 million in the year ended March 31, 1998.
The increase was primarily due to an increase of $2.1 million in payroll and
related costs, including $772,000 in increased selling salaries, as well as
$377,000 in selling-related expenses, which resulted from increased sales
volume.

                                       5

<PAGE>
Factoring costs increased $171,000 as a result of higher sales volume.

As a result of the above factors, income from operations decreased 74.3% from
$1.2 million in the year ended March 31, 1998 to a loss of $0.3 million in the
year ended March 31, 1999.

Interest expense increased from $322,000 in 1998 to $667,000 in 1999. This
increase is primarily the result of additional borrowing for working capital
needs and capital lease obligations.

Year Ended March 31, 1998 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 1997

Net sales of $42.6 million in the year ended March 31, 1998 represented an
increase of $7.2 million, or 20.3% over net sales of $35.4 million in the year
ended March 31, 1997. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to
continued expansion of the customer base and increased volume from several
existing customers.

The Company's gross profit increased $1.7 million, or 28.1%, to $8.0 million for
the year ended March 31, 1998 from $6.3 million for the year ended March 31,
1997. Gross profit margin increased to 18.9% in the year ended March 31, 1998
from 17.8% in the year ended March 31, 1997. The increase in gross profit margin
resulted primarily from higher import sales volume. Gross profit from import
sales is generally higher than gross profit from domestically produced
merchandise.

Operating expenses increased $1.3 million, or 24.1%, to $6.8 million in the year
ended March 31, 1998 from $5.5 million in the year ended March 31, 1997. The
increase was primarily due to an increase of $728,000 in payroll and related
costs, including $407,000 in increased selling salaries, as well as $220,000 in
selling-related expenses which resulted from increased sales volume. Factoring
costs decreased $45,000 as a result of lower commission rates, however, a
$156,000 credit loss was incurred during the year relating to Montgomery Ward's
bankruptcy filing.

As a result of the above factors, income from operations increased 54.3% from
$805,000 in the year ended March 31, 1997 to $1.2 million in the year ended
March 31, 1998.

Interest expense decreased from $596,000 in 1997 to $322,000 in 1998. This
decrease is primarily attributable to the repayment of promissory notes issued
in November 1995 and repaid in March 1997 from the proceeds of the Company's
initial public offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since its formation in 1995, the Company has financed its operations and met its
capital requirements primarily through funds raised from its founders, three
private placement offerings, as well as borrowings under its factoring
arrangements, vendor financing and, to a lesser extent, equipment financing. In
March 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of investment units
resulting in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, of
$5,352,000. These financing activities provided net cash of $4.6 million in
fiscal 1997, $15,000 in fiscal 1998 and used $224,000 in fiscal 1999.

                                       6

<PAGE>
Operating activities used net cash of $3.9 million in fiscal 1997, $24,000 in
fiscal 1998 and provided net cash of $1.1 million in fiscal 1999. The principal
uses of operating cash are to purchase fabric and manufacture its products,
purchase import finished goods and financing accounts receivable. Inventory
levels increased as result of the corresponding increased production to support
the growth in sales, continued expansion of import product categories and the
timing of Spring '99 shipments to customers.

The Company's capital expenditures totaled $175,000, $362,000 and $1,060,000 in
fiscal 1997, 1998 1999, respectively. 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. $933,000 of the 1999 expenditures have been financed through a leasing
company. The Company does not have any material commitments for capital
expenditures at this time. Also, included in the $818,000 of net cash used in
investing activities is $630,000 which was used in the acquisition of TLC.

Year 2000 Computer Issues

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, the Company is taking appropriate steps to
remediate 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 discussed above
will have a material impact on its business, financial condition or results of
operations, it is uncertain whether or to what extent the Company may be
affected by such matters.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" which requires entities to recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective
for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The
Company is not currently affected by SFAS No. 133.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Jenna Lane, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jenna Lane, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended March 31, 1999. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jenna Lane, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31,
1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

        Business:

        The Company designs, manufactures (through contractors) and imports
        women's and children's sportswear and other apparel for the domestic
        retail market.

        Principles of Consolidation:

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jenna
        Lane, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
        "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
        been eliminated.

        Inventories:

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
        market.

        Income Taxes:

        Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
        differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
        financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes,
        primarily depreciation, inventory costs capitalized and, in 1998 and
        1997, deferred compensation.

        Property and Equipment:

        Property and equipment are stated at cost. Furniture and equipment are
        depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
        lives of five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their
        respective lives or the terms of the applicable leases, whichever is
        shorter.

        Goodwill:

        The excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets of purchased
        businesses is recorded as goodwill (included in other assets) and is
        amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated future periods to
        be benefited (not exceeding 40 years). The Company continually evaluates
        the recoverability of this goodwill.

        Stock-Based Compensation Plans:

        Effective April 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
        Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
        ("SFAS No. 123"). SFAS No. 123 permits either the recognition of
        compensation cost for the estimated fair value of employee stock-based
        compensation arrangements on the date of grant, or disclosure in the
        notes to the financial statements of the pro forma effects on net income
        and earnings per share, determined as if the fair value-based method had
        been applied in measuring compensation cost. The Company has adopted the
        disclosure option and continues to apply APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
        for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") in accounting for its plans.
        Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Company's
        stock incentive plan.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)

        Earnings Per Share:

        The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance
        with Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS
        128"), which the Company adopted as of December 31, 1997. Basic earnings
        per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of
        outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share include the
        weighted average effect of dilutive options, warrants and convertible
        preferred stock. In 1999, the warrants were anti-dilutive. In 1997, the
        convertible preferred shares were anti-dilutive. In conjunction with the
        issuance of SFAS 128, the Company adopted Securities and Exchange
        Commission Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 98 ("SAB 98"). As a result,
        certain securities which had previously been classified as and included
        in common shares outstanding, pursuant to SAB 83, are no longer required
        to be included as common shares outstanding. Accordingly, the 1997
        earnings per share computations have been restated.

        Computation of diluted earnings per share is not reflected for the year
        ended March 31, 1999 because including potential common shares will
        result in an antidilutive per-share amount due to the net loss in the
        period. Stock Dividends: On February 17, 1998, the Company declared a
        10% stock dividend paid March 13, 1998 to shareholders of record as of
        March 6, 1998. The stock price on the date of declaration was $9.625.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)

        The fair value of the dividend has been charged against retained
        earnings only to the extent of retained earnings and current income as
        of the date of distribution.

        In July 1996, the Company declared a 1.9047619 for one stock split of
        the Common Stock to be effected in the form of a stock dividend. All
        share and per share data have been restated in these financial
        statements for all periods presented to reflect the stock dividend and
        stock split.

        Advertising costs:

        The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred which amounted to
        approximately $118,000, $68,000 and $15,000 for the years ended March
        31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

        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 amounts reported in the financial statements
        and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on
        management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in
        the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.

        Segment Information:

        Effective April 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
        Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
        Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 superseded
        FASB Statement No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business
        Enterprise". SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way that public
        business enterprises report information about operating segments in
        annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report
        selected information about operating segments in interim financial
        reports. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures
        about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.

        The Company has organized its business in one operating segment, since
        the Company's only business is in the sale of apparel to the domestic
        retail market.

        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.

        Reclassification:

        Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
        current year's presentation.

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 has restated its consolidated financial statements for
         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 restatement adjustments reflect 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. The
         following consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations
         compare the previously reported and restated financial information:

        The Company has agreements with two commercial factors which provide for
        the factoring of substantially all its trade accounts receivable on a
        pre-approved non-recourse basis (except as to customer claims). The
        factoring charge ranges from 0.65% to 0.85% of the receivables assigned.
        Factor charges for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were
        approximately $598,000, $427,000 and $472,000, respectively. The
        uncollected balance of receivables held by the factors amounted to
        approximately $15,704,000 and $9,489,000 at March 31, 1999 and 1998,
        respectively.

        The Company receives advances and loans under the agreement with its
        primary factor, which bear interest at 1.0% below the prime rate. The
        factor also guarantees the Company's letters of credit. The aggregate
        amounts of such advances and guarantees are limited by formula and any
        overadvance permitted is at the lender's discretion. Substantially all
        the Company's assets are pledged as collateral under the agreements.

8.      SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

        Initial Public Offering:

        In March 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of
        690,000 units, at a public offering price of $10.125 per unit. Each unit
        consisted of two shares of common stock and one warrant. Each warrant
        entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise
        price of $6.36, subject to adjustment, at any time until March 2000. The
        net proceeds from the offering of approximately $5,352,000 were used to
        repay debt, acquire equipment and for general corporate purposes.

        Series A Convertible Preferred Stock:

        The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was converted in March 1997
        into common shares effective with the completion of the Company's
        initial public offering of common stock.

        In April 1996, the Company declared and paid an annual dividend of $.20
        per share ($100,000) to the shareholders of preferred stock. In June
        1996, October 1996 and January 1997, the Company declared and paid a
        quarterly dividend of $25,000 to the shareholders of preferred stock.

        Issuance of Notes and Warrants:

        In August, 1996, the Company completed a bridge financing by issuing
        $500,000 (principal amount) 10% notes and 1,100,000 warrants. The Bridge
        Notes were repaid in March 1997 from the proceeds of the Company's
        initial public offering. The warrants to purchase 1,100,000 shares of
        common stock at an exercise price of $6.36 per share, subject to
        adjustment, are exercisable for a period of three years. The warrants
        contain various redemption and other provisions.

        Stock Repurchase:

        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 March 31, 1999, the Company has repurchased 75,000 shares
        at an aggregate cost of $146,718.

        Performance Shares:

        Performance shares represent common shares issued as compensation to
        certain key executives and a director. Unearned compensation was
        recorded based on the fair value of the shares issued and has been fully
        amortized through March 1998. Amortization of unearned compensation was
        $64,000 and $58,000 for the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
        respectively.

        The shares are to be repurchased by the Company at par value ($.01 per
        share) because the Company did not achieve certain annual pre-tax
        earnings in fiscal 1998 and 1999. 314,286 shares were repurchased in
        1999, and an additional 314,286 shares are to be repurchased subsequent
        to March 31, 1999.

        Leases:

        The Company leases warehouse, office and showroom space and equipment
        under capital and operating leases extending to 2006. The leases provide
        for payment by the Company of taxes and other expenses. Rent expense was

9.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

        Licensing Agreements:

        The Company has entered into licensing agreements that provide for
        royalty payments ranging from 5% to 7% of net sales of licensed
        products. Based on minimum sales requirements, future minimum royalty
        payments required under these agreements are:

                                                     $ 2,131,000

        The Company incurred royalty expense of $79,000 for the year ended March
        31, 1999. As a result of pending litigation with one licensor, minimum
        guaranteed royalties of $120,000 due in January 1999 are in dispute and
        remain unpaid. Future minimum guaranteed royalties of $450,000 that are
        also in dispute are included above (see litigation note below).

        Litigation:

        The Company is a party to litigation with one of its licensors and
        certain other parties. The Company initiated an action alleging breach
        of license and related tort claims. The licensor has moved to compel
        arbitration and is seeking $1,000,000 in damages, including unpaid
        minimum guaranteed royalties. The Company is vigorously defending the
        claim and believes it has meritorious defenses. However, it is not
        possible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter.

10.     SALES TO MAJOR CUSTOMERS

        For the year ended March 31, 1999, one customer accounted for
        approximately 23% and another accounted for 11% of sales compared to one
        customer that accounted for approximately 18% for the year ended March
        31, 1998.

11.     STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

        In August 1996, the Company adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan for
        employees (the Plan). The Plan permits the issuance of stock options to
        selected employees (and consultants) of the Company. The Company
        reserved 660,000 shares of common stock for grant. Options granted may
        be either nonqualified or incentive stock options and will expire not
        later than 10 years from the date of grant.

        These pro forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures
        since the estimated fair value of stock options is amortized to expense
        over the vesting period, and additional options may be granted in future
        years.

        The estimated fair value of each option granted included in the pro
        forma results is calculated using the minimum value calculation for the
        options issued prior to the Company going public, and the Black-Scholes
        option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions
        used for grants in 1999 and 1997, respectively: no common stock
        dividends paid for all years; expected volatility of 65.0% and 23.5%;
        risk-free interest rates of 5.11% and 6.12%; and expected lives of 5.0
        and 3.5 years. The weighted average fair values of options at their
        grant date during 1999 and 1997, were $0.95 and $1.01, respectively.

12.     401(K) PLAN

        Effective August 1996, the Company established a qualified Salary
        Reduction Profit Sharing Plan ("The Plan") for eligible employees under
        Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan provides for
        voluntary employee contributions through salary reduction and voluntary
        employer contributions at the discretion of the Company. There were no
        Company contributions for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

13.     ACQUISITION

        On June 19, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of
        T.L.C. for Girls, Inc., a manufacturer of children's wear, for a total
        consideration of approximately $630,000 which has been accounted for as
        a purchase and consisted substantially of goodwill. The pro forma
        results for 1999 assuming the acquisition had been made at the beginning
        of the year, would not be materially different from reported results.
