PART I

Item 1. Business.

Jaclyn, Inc. (incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1968) ("Jaclyn") and
its subsidiaries (collectively the "Registrant") are primarily engaged in the
design, manufacture, distribution and sale of vinyl, leather and fabric
handbags and related products (collectively, "handbag products"), and apparel
items. The Registrant markets its handbag products in a variety of popularly
priced fashions and designs, with an emphasis on casual, travel and sport
styles. The Registrant's apparel lines are wide ranging and include vests,
loungewear, sleepwear, dresses, sportswear, slippers and footwear, as well as
lingerie.

General. Styling is an important factor in the merchandising of all of the
Registrant's products. The Registrant's staff of full-time designers studies
fashion trends in order to anticipate consumer demand. The design staff works
closely with the purchasing department to determine the styling and materials
components for its handbag products, and concepts and fabrics for its apparel
products, that may be available and also works with the production and
engineering staffs to determine the costs of production and the technical
problems involved in producing a new style. The Registrant changes many of its
designs from season to season.

Finished merchandise is received at the Registrant's warehouses located in
Ferris, Texas and West New York, New Jersey and in several independently owned
warehouses in New Jersey, Florida, California and Texas, and from these
locations is shipped under different selling names to customers all over the
country. The Registrant's handbag products are intended to retail at between $6
and $275. The Registrant's better price and designer lines of handbag products,
which are sold under the "Susan Gail" name, are marketed through better
department stores and specialty shops. The Registrant's other handbag products
are marketed primarily through general merchandise, chain and department stores.
In addition, the Registrant markets its apparel lines to existing customers of
its handbag products as premium and/or special order items, as well as to major
mail order catalog chains and other retailers.

The Registrant markets its handbag products under trademarks and tradenames
which it owns, including "Saddle River," "Shane," "Empress," "Aetna," "Susan
Gail," "Robyn Lyn" and "Marilyn USA." In addition, the Registrant is licensed to
manufacture and market handbag products under the names "Looney Tunes(TM)" under
an agreement which expires December 31, 1998, "Riders(TM)" under an agreement
which expires December 31, 1998, "Crayola(TM)" under an agreement which expires
December 31, 1996, and "Winnie The Pooh(TM)" under an agreement which expires
June 30, 1997. The Registrant's apparel lines are marketed under the names
"Robyn Lyn," "Saddle River," and "111 Main." The Registrant also manufactures
apparel items for sale as private-label merchandise. The Registrant considers
all of its trademarks, tradenames and other intellectual property rights to be
of significant value in the marketing of its products.




The Registrant sells throughout the United States through its own salesmen
and through independent sales representatives. Sales of domestically
manufactured merchandise, including those assembled in Mexico from domestically
produced components, accounted for approximately 35% of the Registrant's
consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. During fiscal
1995, sales of such merchandise, including those assembled in Mexico from
domestically manufactured components, accounted for approximately 40% of
consolidated net sales.

In fiscal 1996, the Registrant's imports of merchandise manufactured in the
Far East accounted for approximately 65% of consolidated net sales, compared to
approximately 60% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 1995. Such imports offer
the Registrant the benefit of a greater diversification of styling resulting
from volume purchases and the benefit of cost savings related to such purchases.
In addition, the market's increased acceptance of leather handbags and related
products has resulted in an emphasis on Far East manufacturing and supply
sources. While the Registrant's operations are subject to the usual risks
associated with purchases from foreign countries, the Registrant's other foreign
manufacturing sources and its domestic manufacturing operations provide it with
alternative sources and facilities.

Approximately 73% of the Registrant's consolidated net sales for fiscal
1996 were to general merchandise, chain and department stores, with the balance
consisting of sales to specialty shops, smaller retail stores and cosmetic
firms. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, four customers of the
Registrant accounted for 51% of the Registrant's consolidated net sales, of
which the Registrant's three largest customers (Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Estee
Lauder and Target Stores) accounted for 20%, 12% and 11% of such sales,
respectively. Three major customers of the Registrant accounted for
approximately 36% of the Registrant's consolidated net sales for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1995, of which the Registrant's two largest customers (Avon
Products, Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.) accounted for 15% and 13% of such
sales, respectively. Sales of apparel items during each of the fiscal years
ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 represented 30%, 30% and 13%, respectively,
of consolidated net sales. Sales of handbag products represented the remainder
of the Registrant's consolidated net sales. The Registrant's sales are
customarily offered on credit terms. The Registrant does not have long-term
contracts with any of its customers.

The Registrant purchases its handbag and apparel raw materials, primarily
fabrics, vinyl and urethane plastics, leather, frames, ornaments, trim and other
materials, and certain of its finished products, from a variety of sources. In
most cases, the Registrant assists its suppliers and contractors in the design
and style of the materials it purchases. The Registrant's largest expenditures
for raw materials are for fabrics, leather, vinyl and urethane plastics, which
the Registrant purchases from several suppliers, one of which provided about 9%
of its raw material needs in fiscal 1996. While the Registrant has no long-term
supply contracts, the raw materials it uses are available from various sources
and it anticipates no difficulty in the future in obtaining the necessary raw
materials for its operations. With respect to its domestic manufacturing and
imported purchases from the Far East and Europe of finished handbags and related
products, the Registrant deals with a number of sources, both domestically and
in the Far East and Europe, no one of which accounted for more than 14% of the
Registrant's total cost of goods sold. The Registrant has no


-2-



long-term supply contracts with its Far East or European sources of finished
handbags and related products or apparel items and is subject to the usual risks
associated therewith.

The Registrant generally offers Fall/Winter, Holiday and Spring/Summer
product lines and in most instances manufactures product to meet the specific
requirements of its customers. The Registrant's business is somewhat seasonal in
nature, with shipments historically being greater in the first and third
quarters of its fiscal years and lower in the second and fourth quarters.
Reference is made to Note O, "Unaudited Quarterly Financial Data," of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-16 of this Form 10-K for
additional information about quarterly results.

At September 15, 1996, the Registrant had unfilled order of approximately
$24,471,000, compared to approximately $18,200,000 at September 15, 1995. The
increase in backlog is attributable, among other things, to anticipated
increased sales volume and due to timing differences in the receipt of orders
from certain customers in 1996 compared to 1995. In the ordinary course of
business, the amount of unfilled orders at a particular point in time is
affected by several factors, including scheduling of the manufacture and
shipping of goods (which, in turn, may be dependent on the requirements of
customers). Accordingly, a comparison of backlog from period to period is not
necessarily meaningful and may not be indicative of future sales patterns or
shipments.

The Registrant employed approximately 285 persons as of June 30, 1996, of
whom 80 were on a salaried basis and the balance on an hourly basis. At June 30,
1996, 31 of the Registrant's employees were members of the Four Joint Boards of
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New England, affiliated with the
International Leather Goods, Plastics and Novelty Workers Union, AFL-CIO. The
Registrant considers its relations with its employees to be satisfactory.

The Registrant competes with hundreds of domestic and foreign manufacturers
of popular priced handbags and apparel, very few of which are believed to
account for as much as 1% of industry sales. In addition, the Registrant
competes with numerous manufacturers of apparel items. The Registrant believes
its sales of apparel items are not significant in light of total apparel
industry sales. The Registrant's business is dependent, among other things, on
its ability to anticipate and respond to changing consumer preferences, to
remain competitive in price, style and quality and to meet its customers'
production and delivery requirements. While some of the Registrant's competitors
may be larger or may have greater resources than the Registrant, the Registrant
believes that its size and financial position will allow it to continue to
respond to changes in consumer demand and meet its competition.

Certain Developments. In January 1996, the Registrant entered into a sales
agreement to manufacture and distribute an existing line of women's robes and
sleepwear. The Registrant did not incur any significant expenditures as a result
of this agreement.

-3-



On June 18, 1996, the Registrant acquired certain trademarks and other
assets from McCrackin Industries, Inc. ("McCrackin") and its affiliates for a
purchase price of $1,500,000. The trademarks included "Saddle River," under
which the Registrant has been manufacturing and distributing ladies' handbags
for more than 9 years. The Registrant also acquired certain office equipment,
furnishings and fixtures located at McCrackin's New York City showroom, which
will now be operated by the Registrant. In addition, two of the principals of
McCrackin have entered into a consulting agreement to make available to the
Registrant marketing and consulting services. The Registrant has also granted to
those principals an option to repurchase the trademarks on or prior to December
31, 1997.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the Registrant announced that
due to the decline in sales of the Registrant's Barney(R) the dinosaur line of
products and the increased direct importation of products by its customers, it
was restructuring certain of its operations. The restructuring included
personnel reductions, the closing of the Registrant's warehouse in North Bergen,
New Jersey and the consolidation of its New York City showrooms. The Registrant
also discontinued the payment of quarterly cash dividends after the second
quarter of the fiscal year. During fiscal 1995, the Registrant recorded a
pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $995,000, representing employee
severance and other exit costs in connection with the closure of the warehouse
and showroom. In addition, the Registrant incurred costs of $1,761,000,
primarily the write-down to market value of inventory of certain of its
divisions and costs incurred during the wind-down of operations in its closed
facilities. Reference is made to "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" on pages 8 through 11 of this
Form 10-K and Note N, "Corporate Restructuring" of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements on page F-15 of this Form 10-K for additional information
related to the restructuring.

Item 2. Properties.

The Registrant's executive offices and one of its warehouse facilities,
containing 140,000 square feet, are located in West New York, New Jersey. The
Registrant occupied these facilities under long-term leases from 1968 to 1981,
when these facilities were purchased by the Registrant. The Registrant currently
leases to outside parties approximately 40,000 square feet of the West New York
facilities. The Registrant also leases (i) showroom, warehouse and distribution
facilities in New York City containing approximately 12,000 square feet and (ii)
two additional showroom and office facilities in New York City totaling
approximately 7,000 square feet (one of which is subject to a lease that expires
in January 1997 and, as part of the Registrant's restructuring, will not be
renewed). The executive offices, and manufacturing, distribution and warehouse
facilities, of JLN, Inc., containing approximately 93,250 square feet, are
located in Ferris, Texas. All of the Registrant's facilities are well maintained
structures, in good physical condition and are adequate to meet its current and
reasonably foreseeable needs.

Reference is made to Note E, "Commitments," of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements on page F-10 of this Form 10-K for additional information
about the Registrant's commitments under the terms of non-cancelable leases.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.


(a) The Registrant is not a party to, nor is any of its property the
subject of, any material pending legal proceeding.

(b) No material pending legal proceeding was terminated during the
three-months ended June 30, 1996.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The Registrant did not submit any matters to a vote of its security
holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the
three-months ended June 30, 1996.

PART II

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity
and Related Stockholder Matters.

The Registrant's Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share, is traded on the
American Stock Exchange (Symbol: "JLN"). The following table sets forth the high
and low closing sales prices for the Registrant's Common Stock, as reported by
the American Stock Exchange, for each quarterly period during the Registrant's
fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995:

The Registrant did not pay cash dividends during fiscal 1996. During the
quarterly periods in fiscal 1995 ending September 30, 1994 and December 31,
1994, the Registrant paid quarterly cash dividends of $.125 per share of its
Common Stock. In connection with the restructuring of the Registrant's
operations, described above under the caption "Item 1. Business--Certain
Developments," the Registrant discontinued the payment of quarterly cash
dividends during the third quarter ended March 31, 1995. As previously
announced, the Registrant does not anticipate a resumption of payment of cash
dividends in the foreseeable future.

At June 30, 1996, there were approximately 800 holders of record of the
Registrant's Common Stock.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the fiscal years ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $422,000 and $58,000, respectively, compared to a
decrease in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 of $518,000. The increase in
fiscal 1996 was the result of an excess of funds provided by operating
activities of $3,176,000 over funds used in investing activities of $315,000 and
financing activities of $2,439,000. Funds provided by operating activities
increased mainly due to an increase in accounts payable of $5,010,000 mostly
financing the increase in inventory and net earnings from operations totaling
$685,000. These funds were principally offset by an increase in inventories of
$3,330,000 due to increased orders for goods planned to be shipped in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997. Cash used in investing activities was primarily for the
purchase of bonds (securities available for sale) of $3,673,000 and for the
purchase of certain trademarks and other assets from McCrackin Industries, Inc.
for $1,500,000. Reference is made to Note M "Purchase of Trademarks" of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-15 of this Form 10-K. These
items were offset, in part, by sales of securities available for sale totaling
$5,034,000. Funds used in financing activities of $2,439,000 were entirely
related to the pay down of outstanding notes payable to the Company's bank under
an existing bank line of credit.

Through a $15,000,000 credit line with its bank, the Company has short-term
borrowing capabilities, and can issue letters of credit for purchase commitments
and issue bankers acceptances. Within this line of credit, the Company has
available to it up to $7,500,000 of short-term loans and bankers acceptances at
either prime or LIBOR rates. All borrowings, with the exception of bankers
acceptances, are unsecured. Amounts outstanding under the unsecured short-term
line of credit at June 30, 1996 was $1,100,000. Reference is made to Note F
"Credit Facilities," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page
F-10 of this Form 10-K for additional information about the Company's credit
lines.

There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at June 30,
1996.

The net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the fiscal year ended June
30, 1995 was $58,000. The increase in fiscal 1995 was the result of an excess of
funds provided by operating activities of $2,967,000 over funds used in
investing activities of $192,000 and financing activities of $2,717,000. Funds
provided by operating activities were mainly the result of a decrease in
accounts receivable of $4,445,000 as a result of lower sales in the final months
of this fiscal period, a decrease in inventories of $2,277,000 due to increased
emphasis on purchasing inventory for certain divisions by specific order rather
than for stock, as well as anticipated lower demand for goods, and from the sale
of marketable trading securities of $1,662,000. These funds were principally
offset by the net loss of $2,320,000, an increase in both deferred and prepaid
and refundable income taxes of $2,032,000, the purchase of trading securities
totaling $620,000 and a decrease in accounts payable and other current
liabilities of $1,012,000, which resulted from lower inventory levels. Cash used
in investing activities was primarily for the purchase of bonds

-8-


(securities available for sale) plus additions to property and equipment. Funds
used in financing activities were principally for the repayment of bank loans of
$2,000,000 and dividends paid for the first and second quarters of the 1995
fiscal year totaling $715,000.

The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the fiscal year ended June
30, 1994 was $518,000. The decrease in fiscal 1994 was the result of funds used
in operating activities of $3,063,000 in excess of funds provided by investing
activities of $1,441,000 and financing activities of $1,104,000. Funds used in
operating activities were mainly the result of increases in accounts receivable
of $2,992,000, due to heavy shipments in the last month of the fiscal year, and
increases in inventories of $2,748,000, primarily a buildup for shipments in the
first quarter of the subsequent year. These were principally offset by net
earnings of $1,587,000, depreciation and amortization of $360,000 and a decrease
in deferred and refundable income taxes. Cash provided by investing activities
consisted primarily of a decrease in marketable securities due mainly to
maturing bonds of $1,910,000 offset by the purchase of property and equipment of
$573,000. Funds provided by financing activities, mainly bank loans of
$2,438,000, were offset by dividends paid of $1,350,000.

The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). During fiscal
1994, the Company guaranteed a bank loan to the ESOP in the amount of
$1,150,000, the proceeds of which were also used to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock. At June 30, 1996, the loan balance was $704,000.
Reference is made to Note L, "Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust," of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-14 of this Form 10-K.

As of June 30, 1996 1995 and 1994 working capital was $15,993,000,
$16,223,000 and $19,128,000, respectively. The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities for those same periods was 2.3 to 1, 2.6 to 1 and 2.5 to 1,
respectively. The change in the current ratio in 1996 was primarily due to the
increases in accounts payable and other current liabilities which rose (mostly
attributable to the purchase of trademarks referred to above) at a
proportionately higher rate than the offsetting increase in inventory. The
change in current ratio in 1995 was primarily due to the level of bank
borrowing, which was $3,538,000 at June 30, 1995 and $5,538,000 at June 30,
1994. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled
$4,279,000, $5,191,000 and $5,860,000 at June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The Company believes that funds provided by operations, existing
working capital and the Company's current bank lines will be sufficient to meet
its anticipated short-term and long-term working capital needs.

Results of Operations

1996 Compared to 1995

Net sales were $72,312,000 which was slightly lower than net sales of
$73,577,000 in fiscal 1995. This reduction was part of lower anticipated sales
based on the Company's 1995 restructuring which included emphasis on improving
the gross profit margin and of buying inventory for certain divisions by
specific order rather than for stock.

-9-



Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, decreased, due to relatively
fewer markdowns taken after the Company's fiscal 1995 restructuring. Shipping,
selling and administrative expense decreased due to a reduction in certain fixed
expenses following the Company's fiscal 1995 restructuring. Interest expense
decreased due to lower aggregate average borrowing in fiscal 1996 compared to
fiscal 1995.

Other income, almost exclusively from investments, was slightly higher than
the same 1995 period due to a small increase in the overall average investment
interest rate.

The earnings increase for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 compared to
the prior year was due mainly to better gross profit margins, lower shipping,
selling and administrative expense as well as lower interest expense.

1995 Compared to 1994

During fiscal 1995, the Company decided to institute a restructuring
program as a result of the decline in sales and margins and the increased direct
importation by accessory and apparel retailers. This program resulted in a
pre-tax restructuring charge of $995,000, representing employee severance and
other exit costs in connection with the closure of a warehouse and showroom. In
addition, there were costs of $1,761,000, primarily for the write-down to market
value of inventory of certain divisions of the Company, as well as costs
incurred during the wind-down of operations in those closed facilities.

Net sales were $73,577,000 in the year ended June 30, 1995 compared to
$82,393,000 in the year ended June 30, 1994. The decrease in sales was due
primarily to the steep decline in the Company's children's line and its ladies
moderately priced handbag lines, offset partially by an increase in apparel
sales.

Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, increased, in part, due to
the markdowns taken by the Company relative to the restructuring and from lower
markups achieved in certain divisions. Shipping, selling and administrative
expenses decreased due to the decrease in expenses related to the decline in
sales volume and measures taken in the restructuring. Interest expense increased
during fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994 due to an increase in interest rates.

Other income, almost exclusively from investments, declined due to a lower
level of funds available for investment.

The loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 was due mainly from
decreased sales volume and lower margins, offset by decreased shipping, selling,
administrative expenses as well as costs associated with the restructuring.

The increase in net earnings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 was
due mainly to the increase in sales volume and somewhat higher markups, offset
by increased shipping, selling, administrative and interest expenses.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be
recoverable. Adoption of SFAS No. 121, which is in effect for years beginning
after December 31, 1995, is not expected to have an material impact on the
Company. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The Standard is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company has not yet
determined if it will adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123 or only
elect, as allowed, the disclosure provision, each of which deals with
recognition of compensation expense of grants for stock, stock options and other
equity instruments to employees based of fair value accounting rules. However,
the Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 123 will have a
significant effect on its results of operations.

Independent Auditors' Report




Report to Independent Accountants


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Jaclyn, Inc.
West New York, New Jersey


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jaclyn, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended June 30, 1996. Our audits also included the
consolidated financial statement schedule of Jaclyn Inc. and Subsidiaries listed
in item 14(a)2. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Jaclyn, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, such financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.

JACLYN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Jaclyn, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") are engaged in the design,
manufacture, marketing and sale of handbags, accessories, apparel and related
products. The Company sells its products to retailers, including department and
specialty stores, national chains, major discounters and mass volume retailers,
throughout the United States.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all of its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have
been made to the 1994 financial statements to conform to the presentation used
in 1995 and 1996.

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 disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Changes

Effective July 1, 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115,"Accounting for Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,"
(SFAS 115), the effect of which was not material. All securities classified as
available for sale are recorded at fair market value and the resulting
unrealized gain (loss) is recorded as a component of Stockholder's Equity.

Inventories

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

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides for
depreciation and amortization on the straight-line method based on the shorter
of the estimated useful lives or lease period of the respective depreciable or
amortizable assets.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill and trademarks arising from acquisitions are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 20 years. The Company regularly
reviews the individual components of the balances by evaluating the future cash
flows of the businesses to determine the recoverability of the assets and
recognizes, on a current basis, any diminution in value.


F-7


Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized at the time merchandise is shipped. Retail factory outlet
store revenues are recognized at the time of sale.

New Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be
recoverable. Adoption of SFAS No. 121, which is effective for years beginning
after December 15, 1995, is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company.

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The standard encourages, but does not
require, companies to recognize compensation expense of grants for stock, stock
options and other equity instruments to employees based on fair value accounting
rules. SFAS No. 123 requires companies that choose not to adopt the new fair
value accounting rules to disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share
under the new method. The Standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. The Company has not yet determined if it will adopt the
accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123 or only the disclosure provision. However,
the Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 123 will have a
significant effect on its results of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested in certificates of deposits and
money market funds with maturities of three months or less. Such investments are
deemed to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts and notes payable and
accrued expenses are assumed to approximate fair value due to their short
maturities. The carrying value of the long-term bank loan, which bears interest
at a variable rate, approximates fair value. Securities are recorded at fair
value, which is based principally on quoted market prices.

Earnings (loss) per share

Earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net earnings
(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each
year. The assumed exercise of stock options has not been included in the
calculation as the effect is not material.

NOTE B - SECURITIES

Securities available for sale at June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 follow:

1996 1995

Cost: $3,546,000 at June 30,

approximately $8,584,000 and $7,567,000, respectively. Within the $15,000,000
credit line, the Company can borrow up to $7,500,000 on an unsecured short-term
line of credit and a banker's acceptance line. Borrowings on the unsecured
short-term line of credit were $1,100,000 and $2,500,000 as of June 30, 1996 and

NOTE J - EMPLOYEE'S PENSION TRUST

The Company and its subsidiaries have a trusteed defined benefit pension plan
for certain of their salaried and hourly personnel. The plan provides pension
benefits that are based on a fixed amount of compensation per year of service,
career average pay or on the employee's compensation during a specified number

were 12%, 13% and 6%, respectively, and to a third customer were 11%, 8% and 5%,
respectively.

NOTE L - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN AND TRUST

The Company established a non-contributory Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
"ESOP") and Trust, for its employees who are not covered by a collective
bargaining agreement.

On February 15, 1994, the ESOP authorized the Trust to borrow $1,150,000 from a
bank, which loan is guaranteed by the Company. The debt bears interest at the
prime rate and is payable in a minimum of ten annual installments. The proceeds,
together with the Company's contribution of $100,000 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1994, representing interest and other costs, were used to purchase
90,000 shares of common stock at $13.125 (the market price on February 14, 1994)
from members of the control group representing officers and shareholders of the
Company. As of June 30, 1996, the guaranteed ESOP bank loan was $704,000.

Contributions to the ESOP are at the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors. During fiscal 1996 and 1995, the Company contributed approximately
$250,000 and $315,000 to the ESOP, respectively. ESOP expense was approximately
$250,000 for each year ended June 30,1996 and June 30, 1995, which includes

Vesting occurs after five years of service. However, if the ESOP is deemed
"top-heavy", vesting will occur at the rate of 20% per year after the completion
of the second year of service.

NOTE M - PURCHASE OF TRADEMARKS

During June 1996, the Company acquired certain trademarks and other assets from
McCrackin Industries, Inc. and its affiliates, for a purchase price of
$1,500,000. The trademarks include "Saddle River," under which the Company has
been manufacturing and distributing women's handbags for the past 9 years. In
connection with the acquisition, two of the principals of McCrackin Industries
have entered into a separate consulting agreement with the Company for a period
of 18 months for marketing and consulting services. During this period, those
principals have an option to buy back the trademarks for pre-determined prices
in excess of the purchase price.

NOTE N - CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING

During fiscal 1995, the Company instituted a corporate-wide restructuring
program as a result of experiencing declines in sales and margins, and due to
increased direct importation by accessory and apparel retailers. This program,
which was completed by June 30, 1995, resulted in a pre-tax restructuring charge
of $995,000 representing employee severance and other exit costs in connection
with the closure of a warehouse and showroom. Additional costs of $1,761,000
were incurred primarily for the write-down of inventory to market value relating
to certain of the Company's divisions, as well as for costs incurred during the
wind-down of operations in those closed facilities.
