NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Information as of January 31, 2011 and for the three months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 is unaudited)

Note 1.

Organization and Line of Business

Signature Eyewear, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, markets and distributes eyeglass frames, sunwear and footwear throughout the United States and internationally. The Company conducts its operations primarily from its principal executive offices and a warehouse in Inglewood, California.

Note 2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010. The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2011.

Inventory

Inventory consists of finished goods, which are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using the weighted-average cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis.

The Company regularly and periodically evaluates its inventory to ensure that it is valued at the lower of cost or market based on current market trends, product history, and turnover.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Office furniture and equipment	7 years
Computer equipment	3 years
Software	3 years
Machinery and equipment	5 years
Leasehold improvements	Term of the lease or the estimated life of the related improvements, whichever is shorter

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable - trade, and line of credit, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The amounts shown for long-term debt also approximate fair value because current interest rates offered to the Company for debt of similar maturities are substantially the same.

- 7 -

Income per Share

Basic income per share is computed by dividing the income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The following data show the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effect on the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock:

Three months ended January 31, 2011	Income (Numerator)		Shares (Denominator)	Per Share Amount
Basic earnings per share	$	82,546	6,955,639	$	0.01
Conversion of preferred stock		4,646	1,399,650		0.00
Diluted earnings per share	$	87,192	8,355,289	$	0.01

Three months ended January 31, 2010	Income (Numerator)		Shares (Denominator)		Per Share Amount
Basic earnings per share	$	138,103		6,955,639	$	0.02
Conversion of preferred stock		4,554		1,372,122		0.00
Diluted earnings per share	$	142,657		8,327,761	$	0.02

The following potential common shares have been excluded from the computations of diluted income per share for the three months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 because the effect would have been anti-dilutive:

	2011		2010

Warrants		—		300,000

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3.

Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt (including accrued and unpaid interest of $871,500 and $855,360 as of January 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, respectively) consisted of the following at the dates indicated:

	January 31, 2011			October 31, 2010
Revolving line of credit from Comerica Bank	$	2,100,000		$	1,850,000
Credit facility from Bluebird Finance Limited		2,104,000			2,160,360
		4,204,000			4,010,360
Less current portion		(290,000	)		(290,000	)
Long-term portion	$	3,914,000		$	3,720,360

Note 4.

Income Taxes

As of January 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $15,267,000 and $4,230,000, respectively, which expire at various times from 2021 through 2029.

- 8 -

The Company has recorded a partial benefit for income taxes based on its net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Realization of this deferred tax asset is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will generate taxable income to utilize some of the tax carry-forwards before their expiration. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet its expectation of future income. As a result, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. Such occurrence could materially adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis, which should be read in connection with our financial statements and accompanying footnotes, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are set forth in Item 1 – Business – Factors That May Affect Our Future Operating Results” in our Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010 as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Those forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things, our plans and strategies, new product lines, and relationships with licensors, distributors and customers, distribution strategies and the business environment in which we operate.

Overview

We generate revenues through the sale of eyeglass frames, sunwear and footwear under licensed brand names, including bebe, Carmen Marc Valvo, Cutter & Buck, Dakota Smith, Hart Schaffner Marx, Laura Ashley, Michael Stars and Nicole Miller, and under our proprietary Rough Justice and Signature brands. Our cost of sales consists primarily of purchases from foreign contract manufacturers that produce eyewear and footwear to our specifications.

We reported net income of $87,000 on net sales of $4.7 million for the three months ended January 31, 2011 (the “2011 Quarter”) compared to net income of $143,000 on net sales of $5.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2010 (the “2010 Quarter”). The decrease in net sales was due primarily to the expiration of our bebe license in June 2010 and the continuing recession. The decrease in net sales of bebe eyewear was offset in part by increased net sales of other eyewear lines and our initial revenues from private label sales of our newly launched footwear business.

The decrease in net income was due primarily to lower sales and lower gross margin. The gross margin decreased from 62.8% in the 2010 First Quarter to 59.3% in the 2011 First Quarter because of competitive conditions in the optical sector and the impact of private label footwear sales, which have lower gross margins than our eyewear lines.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth for the periods indicated selected statements of operations data shown as a percentage of net sales.

Net income		1.9	%		2.8	%

Net Sales. Net sales decreased by 8.4% or $434,000 from the 2010 Quarter to the 2011 Quarter. The decrease in net sales was due primarily to the expiration of our bebe eyewear license in June 2010, which resulted in a $1.7 million decrease in net sales of bebe eyewear. Net sales were also adversely affected by the continuing recession. Net sales were positively affected in the 2011 First Quarter by increases in net sales of the Company’s other eyewear lines and through private label sales of footwear through the Signature Fashion Group division launched in November 2010.

Net sales of eyewear to independent optical retailers and distributors decreased $596,000 in the 2011 Quarter. Net sales of eyewear to optical and retail chains decreased $354,000 in the 2011 Quarter. International sales increased $187,000 in the 2011 Quarter.

Net sales reflect gross sales less a reserve for product returns established by us based on products that we are aware will be returned as of that date. We had $890,000 and $760,000 in product returns for the 2011 Quarter and 2010 Quarter, respectively, resulting in a product returns percentage of 16.2% and 13.2%, respectively.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gross profit decreased $441,000 from the 2010 Quarter to the 2011 Quarter due to decreased sales and increased cost of sales. Gross margin decreased to 59.3% in the 2011 Quarter from 62.8% in the 2010 Quarter due to competitive conditions and the impact of private label footwear sales, which have lower gross margins than our eyewear lines.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses decreased $392,000 from the 2010 Quarter to the 2011 Quarter primarily due to decreases in net sales, resulting in decreases of $216,000 in royalty expense and $126,000 in compensation expense.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the 2011 Quarter remained level with general and administrative expenses in the 2010 Quarter.

Interest Expense. Interest expense consists of interest expense offset by other income. Interest expense decreased $12,000 in the 2011 Quarter primarily due to reduction in the weighted average rate on our borrowings.

Income Taxes. As a result of our net loss carryforward, we had no income tax expense other than franchise taxes in various states in the 2011 Quarter or the 2010 Quarter.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts) were $2.6 million at January 31, 2011 compared to $2.5 million at October 31, 2010.

- 10 -

Our inventories (at lower of cost or market) were $3.9 million at both January 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010.

Current liabilities were $4.9 million at January 31, 2011 as compared to $5.0 million at October 31, 2010.

Our long-term debt (including current portion) was $4.0 million and $4.2 million at October 31, 2010 and January 31, 2011, respectively. See Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements for further information regarding our long-term debt. At January 31, 2011, the interest rate on our Comerica Bank revolving line of credit was 3.5% per annum and we had $1.2 million of additional borrowing capacity available under that line.

Of the Company’s accounts payable at January 31, 2011, approximately $177,000 were payable in foreign currency. To monitor risks associated with currency fluctuations, the Company periodically assesses the volatility of certain foreign currencies and reviews the amounts and expected payment dates of its purchase orders and accounts payable in those currencies.

We believe that, at least through fiscal 2011, assuming that there are no unanticipated material adverse developments, we continue to be in compliance with our credit facilities and we maintain current sales levels, our cash flows from operations and through credit facilities will be sufficient to enable us to pay our debts and obligations as they mature.

Inflation

We do not believe our business and operations have been materially affected by inflation.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide reasonable assurance only of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in weighing the costs and benefits of possible new or different controls and procedures. Limitations are inherent in all control systems, so no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and any fraud within the company have been detected.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the same person has both titles), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
