(1) As restated, see Note 19 of the Company's notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. COMPARISON OF FISCAL 1997 WITH FISCAL 1996 NET SALES Net Sales decreased by $9.2 million or 3.6% from $255.2 million in fiscal 1996 to $246.0 million in Fiscal 1997. The decline in net sales was primarily the result of decreases in the Licensed Character business which was down $35.6 million or 46.9%. The decline was due to the discontinuation of the Lewis Frimel division and the decrease in sales of other licensed character lines. The decrease was partially offset by increases in the Company's core divisions - Donnkenny, Beldoch and Oak Hill which had increases of $8.1 million, $9.8 million and $8.8 million respectively. The Company continues to stress its strategy of diversifying its product mix while selling to a broad range of retail stores. Sportswear accounted for approximately 84% of 1997 net sales while the licensed character business accounted for the remaining 16% GROSS PROFIT Gross profit for Fiscal 1997 was $49.3 million, or 20.1% of net sales, compared to $52.6 million, or 20.6% of net sales, for Fiscal 1996. Significant factors that contributed to the decline in gross profit included the sell of inventory resulting form the closing of the Lewis Frimel Division; softness in other licensed character lines and excess supply of these products in the market place; softness in the sweater business due to warm warmer weather during the winter of 1997; and approximately $0.3 million, applicable to sales returns and allowances recorded in the fourth quarter of 1997 in the normal course of business. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1997, the Company decided to discontinue certain licensed character lines, and as a result recorded additional markdowns of $0.5 million. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $57.6 million in Fiscal 1996 to $45.9 million in Fiscal 1997. As a percentage of net sales, these costs decreased from 22.6% in Fiscal 1996 to 18.7% in Fiscal 1997. Included in Fiscal 1997 are one-time charges in the amount of approximately $4.1 million, the largest component of which is $3.5 million in additional professional fees as the result of legal fees associated 6 with the previously reported class action lawsuits, legal and accounting fees associated with the restatement of prior year quarterly and annual financial statements and consulting services related to the Company's amended credit facility. Included in Fiscal 1996 were one-time charges totaling $4.2 million or 1.7% of net sales related to the following: the rescission of the Fashion Avenue acquisition of $0.5 million; severance relating to departing employees of 40.9 million and professional fees of $2.8 million associated with the class action lawsuits, legal and accounting fees related to the special investigation and restatements of prior year financial results. Excluding these charges, the balance of selling, general and administrative expenses for Fiscal 1997 was $41.8 million or 17.0% of net sales and for Fiscal 1996, $53.4 million, or 20.9% of net sales. The $11.6 million decline in selling, general and administrative expense is due to reductions in all expense categories except distribution and factoring fees. Distribution expenses increased as a result of higher temporary employee expenses in South Carolina distribution facility which were mostly offset by savings from the closing of the Mississippi distribution facility and lower costs at the West Hempstead distribution facility. As a result of the amended credit facility discussed below, the Company incurred $1.0 million in factoring fees which were not incurred in Fiscal 1996. The reductions in other selling, general and administrative categories included: Design and Sample expense decreases which were primarily the result of synergies resulting from consolidating company activities and reduced sample expense related to the discontinuation of the licensed character division; decrease in Sales expenses was the result of headcount and advertising reductions and lower sales commissions related to the reduced road force; decreases in Administrative expenses resulting from headcount reductions; Occupancy expense reductions which were primarily the result of closing the Plainview and Mississippi distribution facilities in Fiscal 1996. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company decided to discontinue the manufacture and sale of Mickey & Co. licensed character product line under a license agreement with Disney Enterprises, Inc. and recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $1.7 million and a charge to cost of goods sold of $0.5 million for the write-down of merchandise inventories. The restructuring charge included payments due under agreements with the licensor; write-downs of property, plant and equipment; costs related to lease terminations; employee severance payments; and other incremental charges directly attributable to discontinuing the licensed character product lines. INCOME FROM OPERATIONS In fiscal 1997, the Company reported income from operations of $0.5 million, versus a loss form operations of $6.5 million in Fiscal 1996. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company's tax benefit in Fiscal 1997 amounts to 27.0% of pre-tax losses, as compared to a benefit of 28.6% for Fiscal 1996. The benefit in Fiscal 1997 is lower than the Company's historical tax rate due to the recording of a valuation allowance on a portion of deferred tax assets related to state net operating loss carryforwards. NET LOSS In Fiscal 1997 the Company reported a Net Loss of $3.2 million, or ($0.23) per share, versus a net loss of $8.3 million, or ($0.59) per share in Fiscal 1996. COMPARISON OF FISCAL 1996 WITH FISCAL 1995 Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's December 31, 1997 consolidated financial statements, the Company's management discovered accounting irregularities in the financial statements for the year ended December 2, 1995 and the transition period from December 3, 1995 to December 31, 1995. As a result, the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 2, 1995, have been restated from the amounts previously reported to appropriately account for the recognition of net sales, cost of sales, and certain expenses. 7 NET SALES Net sales increased by $57.2 million, or 28.9%, from $198 million in Fiscal 1995 to $255.2 million in Fiscal 1996. Fiscal 1996 includes net sales for Beldoch and Oak Hill for a full year as compared to net sales for six months and five months, respectively, in Fiscal 1995. The inclusion of first half sales from these two divisions accounted for $52.2 million of the increase. The balance of the net sales increase was achieved in each of the Company's other divisions, other than the Lewis Frimel Division where net sales declined by $3.8 million. The Company continues to stress its strategy of diversifying its product mix while selling to a broad range of retail stores. Sportswear accounted for approximately 70% of 1996 net sales while the licensed character business accounted for the remaining 30%. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit for Fiscal 1996 was $52.6 million, or 20.6% of net sales, compared to $52.5 million, or 26.5% of net sales, for Fiscal 1995. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1996, management undertook a program to reduce excess inventories and balance quantities on hand with the Company's near term needs. As a result, the Company recorded markdowns of $11.4 million. The Company also recorded, in the fourth quarter, approximately $5.1 million applicable to sales returns and allowances. The decline in the gross profit margin was primarily the result of these markdowns, and to a lesser extent, sales returns and allowances. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $34.7 million in Fiscal 1995 to $57.6 million in Fiscal 1996. As a percentage of net sales, these costs increased from 17.5% in Fiscal 1995 to 22.6% in Fiscal 1996. Included in Fiscal 1996 are charges totaling $4.2 million, or 1.7% of net sales related to the following: the rescission of the Fashion Avenue acquisition of $0.5 million; severance relating to departing employees of $0.9 million; litigation expenses of $1.2 million' and professional fees and special investigation expenses of $1.6 million. Excluding these charges, the balance of SG&A for Fiscal 1996 is $53.4 million or 20.9% of net sales. Of the $18.7 million year to year change, as adjusted, $12.9 million (excluding distribution expenses) or 5.1% of net sales, relates to Beldoch and Oak Hill which were only included for six months and five months, respectively, in Fiscal 1995. Additionally, distribution expense increased by $3.8 million to $7.8 million in fiscal 1996 or 3.1% of net sales, a 1.0 percentage point increase over 1995. The increase is related to the opening of a new distribution facility in Summerville, South Carolina and the closing of two distribution centers in Mississippi and New York. LOSS FROM OPERATIONS In Fiscal 1996 the Company reported a loss from operations of $6.5 million versus Fiscal 1995 operating income of $14.0 million principally related to the inventory adjustments and sales allowances and the $4.2 million of costs discussed in the preceding paragraph. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense increased by $1.1 million from $4.1 million in Fiscal 1995 to $5.2 million in Fiscal 1996. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the increased working capital needs of the Company resulting from the acquisitions in 1995, which were funded by the revolving credit agreement. These increases in borrowing and interest more than offset the decline in interest expense as a result of reduced borrowing under the Company's Senior Term Loan. As a percentage of net sales, interest expense declined from 2.1% during Fiscal 1995 to 2.0% in Fiscal 1996. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company's tax benefit in Fiscal 1996 amounts to 28.6% of pre-tax losses as compared to a provision of 43.0% for Fiscal 1995. The benefit in Fiscal 1996 is lower than the Company's historical tax rate due to the recording of a valuation allowance on a portion of deferred tax assets related to state net operating loss carryforwards. 8 NET INCOME In Fiscal 1996 the Company reported a net loss of $8.3 million, or ($0.59) diluted loss per share, as a result of the factors described above, versus Fiscal year 1995 net income of $5.6 million, or $0.40 diluted income per share. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's liquidity requirements arise from the funding of working capital needs, primarily inventory and accounts receivable, and interest and principal payments related to certain indebtedness. The Company's borrowing requirements for working capital fluctuate throughout the year. Capital expenditures were $0.5 million for Fiscal 1997, compared to $1.0 million in Fiscal 1996. In Fiscal 1998 the Company may spend up to $3.5 million on capital investments in accordance with the Revolving Credit Agreement described below. As part of the 1998 capital expense budget, the Company has committed to spend approximately $2.1 million for upgrading computer systems to increase efficiencies and become Year 2000 compliant. At the end of Fiscal 1997, direct borrowings were $27.0 million, which included a senior term loan of $5.5 million and revolving credit borrowings of $21.5 million. Additionally, the Company has letters of credit outstanding of $20.9 million, with unused availability of $14.1 million. At the end of Fiscal 1996, direct borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the prior credit facility were $50.8 million and $19.9 million respectively. On April 30, 1997, the Company entered into an amended credit facility (the "Credit Facility") to, among other things, include the Company's operating subsidiaries Donnkenny Apparel, Inc., MegaKnits, Inc. and Beldoch Industries Corporation as borrowers. The Credit Facility consists of a Term Loan, a Revolving Credit Agreement, and a Factoring Agreement. The purpose of the Credit Facility is to provide for working capital needs of the Company including, the issuance of letters of credit. The Credit Facility expires on March 31, 1999. Under the Credit Facility, The Chase Manhattan Bank serves as agent (and holds a 35% interest), the CIT Group/Commercial Services Inc. ("CIT") serves as collateral agent (and holds a 15% interest), and each of Fleet Bank, N.A. and the Bank of New York are co-lenders (each holding a 25% interest). As of March 20,1998, the balance of the Term Loan was $5.5 million. The interest rate is equal to the prime rate plus 1 1/2 % per annum. The amortization schedule calls for quarterly payments of approximately $1.3 million, with a balloon payment of $0.5 million due on March 31, 1999. An excess cash flow recapture is payable annually within 15 days after receipt of the Company's audited fiscal year-end financial statements. In addition, any tax refunds received in Fiscal 1998 will be applied to reduce the balloon payment. The default interest rate, if applicable, would be equal to 2% above the otherwise applicable rate. The Term Loan does not carry any prepayment penalty. The total amount available under the Revolving Credit Agreement is $85 million subject to an asset based borrowing formula, with sublimits of $70 million for direct borrowings and $35 million for letters of credit. The interest rate is equal to the prime rate plus 1 1/2% per annum. Borrowings in excess of an allowable overadvance will bear interest at the prime rate plus 3 1/2%. The Revolving Credit agreement also requires the Company to pay certain letter of credit fees and unused commitment fees. Advances and letters of credit are limited to (i) up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus (ii) up to 60% of eligible inventory, plus (iii) an allowable overadvance. In April 1997, the Company also entered into a Factoring Agreement with CIT. The Factoring Agreement provides for a factoring commission equal to 0.45% of the gross amount of sales, plus certain customary surcharges. An additional fee of 0.20% was paid upon the conversion to a factored receivable arrangement. Collateral for the Credit Facility includes a first priority lien on all accounts receivable, machinery, equipment, trademarks, intangibles and inventory, a first mortgage on all real property and a pledge of the Company's stock interest in the Company's operating subsidiaries, Donnkenny Apparel, Inc., Beldoch Industries Corp., and Megaknits, Inc. 9 The Credit Facility contains numerous financial and operational covenants, including limitations on additional indebtedness, liens, dividends, stock repurchases and capital expenditures. In addition, the Company is required to maintain specified levels of tangible net worth and comply with a maximum cumulative net loss test. At December 31, 1997, the Company was not in compliance with the covenant related to the maximum cumulative net loss test. On March 31, 1998, Chase Manhattan Bank, as agent, issued a waiver for the violation of this covenant. Additionally, on March 31, 1998, in support of the Company's 1998 business plan, the previously discussed Credit Facility was amended to provide for a sublimit for direct borrowings of $60 million; a letter of credit line of $35 million; and required seasonal overadvances. Any tax refunds applicable to 1997 and prior years and proceeds from the sale of fixed assets are to be applied to reduce the balloon payment on the Term Loan. On November 13, 1998, the Company and the Company's operating subsidiaries Donnkenny Apparel, Inc., Megaknits, Inc., and Beldoch Industries Corporation, as borrowers, entered into an amended and Restated Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility consists of a Term Loan, a Revolving Credit Agreement, and a Factoring Agreement. The purpose of the Credit Facility is to provide for general working capital needs of the Company, including the issuance of letters of credit. The Credit Facility will expire on March 31, 2000. Under the Credit Facility, the Chase Manhattan Bank serves as agent, The CIT Group/Commercial Services Inc. ("CIT") serves as collateral agent, and each of Fleet Bank, N.A. and the Bank of New York is a co-lender. On November 13, 1998, the Credit Facility was amended as follows: the total amount available under the Revolving Credit Agreement is $75 million subject to an asset based borrowing formula, with sublimits of $55 million for direct borrowings, $35 million for letters of credit and certain overadvances. The interest rate is equal to the prime rate plus 1 1/2% per annum. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement in excess of an allowable overadvance will bear interest at the prime rate plus 3 1/2%. The Revolving Credit Agreement also requires the Company to pay certain letter of credit fees and unused commitment fees. Advances and letters of credit will be limited to (i) up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus (ii) up to 60% of eligible inventory, plus (iii) an allowable overadvance. Proceeds from the sales of fixed assets and income tax refunds are to be applied to reduce the overadvance facility. During Fiscal 1997, the Company's operating activities generated $20.0 million more cash than they used, principally as the result of decreases in accounts receivable, inventories and recoverable income taxes, partially offset by decreases in accounts payable. During Fiscal 1996, the Company's operating activities generated $5.8 million more cash then they used, principally as the result of decreases in accounts receivable and inventories, increases in accounts payable partially offset by the net loss. Cash used in Fiscal 1997 for investing activities included $0.5 million for the purchase of fixed assets and the $1.2 million contingent earnout payment related to the acquisition of Beldoch, which was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of fixed assets. Cash used in Fiscal 1996 for the purchase of fixed assets was $1.0 million and included purchases of machinery and equipment, building improvements and leasehold improvements to the Company's South Carolina distribution facility. Cash used in financing activities in Fiscal 1997 was 22.7 million, which represented repayments of 12.3 million on the Term Loan, net repayments under the Revolving Credit Agreement of $11.5 million and the repayment of the Virginia State Loan of $0.2 million. Cash used in financing activities in Fiscal 1996 was $6.2 million, which represented repayments of $5.0 million for a senior term loan with the Chase Manhattan Bank, and $2.0 million for the note relating to the acquisition of Beldoch. This was offset by net borrowings under the revolving credit line. The Company believes that cash flows from operations and amounts available under the revolving credit agreement will be sufficient for its needs for the foreseeable future. 10 OTHER ITEMS AFFECTING THE COMPANY Competition The apparel industry in the United States is highly competitive and characterized by a number of multi-line manufacturers (such as the Company) and a larger number of specialty manufacturers. The Company faces substantial competition in its markets from manufacturers in both categories. Apparel Industry Cycles and other Economic Factors The apparel industry historically has been subject to substantial cyclical variation, with consumer spending on apparel tending to decline during recessionary periods. A decline in the general economy or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects may affect consumer spending habits, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and its financial condition. Retail Environment Various retailers, including some of the Company's customers, have experienced declines in revenue and profits in recent periods and some have been forced to file for bankruptcy protection. To the extent that these financial difficulties continue, there can be no assurance that the Company's financial condition and results of operations would not be adversely affected. Seasonality of Business and Fashion Risk The Company's principal products are organized into seasonal lines for resale at the retail level during the Spring, Summer, Transition, Fall and Holiday Seasons. Typically, the Company's products are designed as much one year in advance and manufactured approximately one season in advance of the related retail selling season. Accordingly, the success of the Company's products is often dependent on the ability to successfully anticipate the needs of retail customers and the tastes of the ultimate consumer up to a year prior to the relevant selling season. Foreign Operations The Company's foreign sourcing operations are subject to various risks of doing business abroad, including indirect vulnerability to currency fluctuations, quotas and, in certain parts of the world, political instability. Any substantial disruption of its relationship with its foreign suppliers could adversely affect the Company's operations. Some of the Company's imported merchandise is subject to United States Customs duties. In addition, bilateral agreements between the major exporting countries and the United States impose quotas, which limit the amount of certain categories of merchandise that may be imported into the United States. Any material increase in duty levels, material decrease in quota levels or material decrease in available quota allocation could adversely affect the Company's operations. Asian Operations The Company's operations in Asia are subject to certain political and economic risks including, but not limited to, political instability, changing tax and trade regulations and currency devaluations and controls. The Company's risks associated with the Company's Asian operations may be higher in 1998 than has historically been the case, due to the fact financial markets in East and Southeast Asia have recently experienced and continue to experience difficult conditions, including a currency crisis. As a result of recent economic volatility, the currencies of many countries in this region have lost value relative to the US dollar. Although the Company has experienced no material foreign currency transaction losses since the beginning of the crisis, its operations in the region are subject to an increased level of economic instability. Approximately 50% of the products sold by the Company in Fiscal 11 1997 were manufactured in Asia. The impact of these events on the Company's business, and in particular its sources of supply, cannot be determined at this time. Factors that May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition The Company's future operating results and financial condition are dependent upon the Company's ability to successfully design, manufacture, import and market apparel. Year 2000 Issue The Company recognizes the need for, and has begun implementation of, a comprehensive program intended to upgrade the operating systems, hardware and software, which should eliminate any issues involving Year 2000 compliance. The Company's current software systems, without modification, will be adversely affected by the inability of the systems to appropriately interpret date information after 1999. As part of the process of improving the Company's information systems to provide enhanced support to all operating areas, the Company will upgrade to new financial and operating systems. Such upgrade will provide for or eliminate any issues involving Year 2000 compliance because all software to be implemented is designed to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company anticipates that its cost for such upgrade will be approximately $1.9 million for Fiscal 1998 of which $0.6 million has been incurred to date and $1.3 million will be spent in the fourth fiscal quarter. The Company anticipates that it will complete its systems conversion in time to accommodate Year 2000 issues. If the Company fails to complete such conversion in a timely manner, such failure will have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The Company does not currently have any information concerning Year 2000 compliance status of its suppliers and customers. In the event that the Company's significant suppliers or customers do not successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, the Company's business or operations could be adversely affected. The Company is currently evaluating its non-information technology systems (embedded technology) issues and is also developing its contingency plans for its information technology systems and believes that it will complete both issues in time to accommodate Year 2000 issues. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 requires that public companies report certain information about operating segments in their annual financial statements and in condensed financial statements of interim periods issued to shareholders. This statement also requires that public companies report certain information about their products and services, the geographic areas in which they operate, and their major customers. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of this statement on its current level of disclosure. In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 132 revises employer' disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans. This statement standardizes the disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent practicable, requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate financial analysis, and eliminates certain disclosures. The Company has determined that this statement will not have a significant impact on its financial statements or disclosures. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes standards for the accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company has determined that this statement will not have a significant impact on its financial statements or disclosures, as it does not engage in derivative or hedging transactions. 12 Forward Looking Statements This Form 10-K (including by not limited to the sections hereof entitled "Business" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis") contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Donnkenny, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three year period ended December 31, 1997. Our audits also included the financial statements schedule listed in the Index at item 14(a)2. These financial statements and financial statement 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 Donnkenny, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the results of their operations and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three year period ended December 31, 1997 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, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. As discussed in Note 19, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 2, 1995 have been restated.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. F-5 DONNKENNY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND DECEMBER 2, 1995 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS -- The Company designs, manufactures, imports and markets a broad line of moderately priced women's sportswear and sleepwear. In addition, the Company manufactures, imports and markets men's, women's and children's sportswear and intimate apparel featuring various licensed cartoon character images. The Company's products are primarily sold throughout the United States by retail chains, department stores, specialty stores, and chain stores. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Donnkenny, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. CHANGE IN YEAR END -- In September 1996, the Company adopted December 31 as its fiscal year end. Prior to 1996, the Company's fiscal year ended on the first Saturday in the month of December. Summarized statement of operations and cash flow data for the transition period from December 3, 1995 through December 31, 1995 (the "Transition Period") is included herein (See Note 2). INVENTORIES -- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) (see Note 4). PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT -- Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, where applicable, the term of the lease, if shorter (see Note 5). Estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings 9 to 38 years Machinery and equipment 3 to 10 years Furniture and fixtures 7 to 10 years Leasehold improvements 7 to 10 years (or lease term if shorter) INTANGIBLE ASSETS -- Goodwill, which represents the excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired relates to the acquisition of the Company in 1989 following a change in control, and the sportswear division of Oak Hill Sportswear Corporation ("Oak Hill") and Beldoch Industries Corporation ("Beldoch") in 1995. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected periods to be benefited, ranging from 20 to 40 years. Also included in intangible assets are organizational expenses and costs related to licenses acquired by the Company, which are being amortized using the straight-line method over periods of 5 to 20 years, respectively (see Note 6). ASSESSMENT OF ASSET MANAGEMENT -- The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of recoverability of the carrying amount of an asset is based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of the asset and eventual disposition. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is charged to operations based on the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill by determining whether the amortization of goodwill over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows of the acquired operations or assets. If the estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is charged to operations based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated discounted cash flows. F-6 INCOME TAXES -- The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which is an asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. SFAS No. 109 requires that deferred tax assets are to be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized (see Note 9). STOCK SPLIT -- On November 17, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split that was paid to all holders of record on December 4, 1995. All references in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to number of shares, per share amounts, and prices of the Company's common stock for periods prior to December 4, 1995 have been restated to reflect the stock split. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- The carrying amount of significant financial instruments, which includes accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, all approximated fair value as of December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 due to their short-term maturities. Long-term debt approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate. 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities (such as accounts receivable, inventories, restructuring reserves, and valuation allowances for income taxes), and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 requires that public companies report certain information about operating segments in their annual financial statements and in condensed financial statements of interim periods issued to shareholders. This statement also requires that public companies report certain information about their products and services, the geographic areas in which they operate, and their major customers. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of this statement on its current level of disclosure. In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 132 revises employer's disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans. This statement standardizes the disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent practicable, requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate financial analysis, and eliminates certain disclosures. The Company has determined that this statement will not have a significant impact on its financial statements or disclosures. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes standards for the accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company has determined that this statement will not have a significant impact on its financial statements or disclosures, as it does not engage in derivative or hedging transactions. F-7 2. TRANSITION PERIOD The following information represents the condensed consolidated income statement and cash flow information for the transition period from December 3, 1995 to December 31, 1995, restated to reflect adjustments for the effects of the accounting irregularities discussed in Note 19: INCOME STATEMENT DATA Net sales ................................... $ 7,547 Gross profit ................................ 1,151 Operating expenses .......................... 4,430 Operating loss ..............................

ACQUISITIONS In June 1995, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Beldoch for $13,000 in cash and a $2,000 note payable due within one year of the closing date, bearing interest at 6%. The transaction was financed with long-term borrowings (see Note 8). The Company is obligated to pay the former owners additional consideration if certain financial results are achieved through 1998. In 1997, the Company paid $1,200 which was recorded as goodwill, and is being amortized over the remainder of the 20 year period subsequent to the acquisition. In July 1995, the Company completed the purchase of certain assets of Oak Hill for $14,600, financed by additional borrowings under the Company's revolving credit line. The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over 20 years. The operating results of each acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated results of operations from the respective date of acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the acquisitions of Beldoch and Oak Hill were completed as of the beginning of fiscal 1995. These results have been presented for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of results that would have occurred if the acquisitions had been made at the beginning of fiscal 1995, or results that may occur in the future. 1995 -------- Net sales ................................. $253,352 Operating income .......................... 9,312 Net income ................................ 772 Basic and diluted earnings per share....... 0.06 4.

The Credit Facility consists of a Term Loan, a Revolving Credit Agreement, F-9 and a Factoring Agreement. The purpose of the Credit Facility is to continue to finance increased working capital needs of the Company following the 1995 Beldoch and Oak Hill Sportswear acquisitions and for general working capital purposes including the issuance of letters of credit. The Credit Facility will expire on March 31, 1999. Under the Credit Facility, the Chase Manhattan Bank serves as agent (and holds a 35% interest), the CIT Group/Commercial Services Inc. (CIT) serves as collateral agent (and holds a 15% interest), and each of Fleet Bank, N.A. and the Bank of New York are co-lenders (each holding a 25% interest). (a) As of December 31, 1997, the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement amounted to $21.5 million. The commitment under the Revolving Credit Agreement is $85 million subject to an asset based borrowing formula, with sublimits of $70 million for direct borrowings and $35 million for letters of credit. The interest rate (8.5% at December 31,1997) is equal to the prime rate (8.5% at December 31, 1997) plus 11/2% per annum. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement in excess of an allowable overadvance bear interest at the prime rate plus 31/2%. The Revolving Credit Agreement also requires the Company to pay certain letter of credit fees and unused commitment fees. Advances and letters of credit are limited to (i) up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus (ii) up to 60% of eligible inventory, plus (iii) an allowable overadvance. (b) As of December 31, 1997, the balance of the Term Loan was $5.5 million. The interest rate is equal to the prime rate (8.5% at December 31, 1997) plus 1 1/2% per annum and the amortization schedule calls for quarterly payments of $1.3 million. The balloon payment, which is due on March 31, 1999 has been reduced from $7.5 million to $0.5 million primarily from the proceeds of tax refunds received by the Company in 1997. An excess cash flow recapture is payable annually within 15 days after receipt of the Company's audited fiscal year-end financial statements. The default interest rate, if applicable, is equal to 2% above the otherwise applicable rate. The Term Loan does not carry any prepayment penalty. In April, 1997, the Company also entered into a Factoring Agreement with CIT. The Factoring Agreement provides for a factoring commission equal to 0.45% of the gross amount of sales, plus certain customary surcharges. An additional fee of 0.20% was paid upon the conversion to a factored receivable arrangement. Collateral for the Credit Facility includes a first priority lien on all accounts receivable, machinery, equipment, trademarks, intangibles and inventory, a first mortgage on all real property and a pledge of the Company's stock interest in the Company's operating subsidiaries, Donnkenny Apparel, Inc., Beldoch Industries Corporation, and Megaknits, Inc. The Credit Facility contains numerous financial and operational covenants, including limitations on additional indebtedness liens, dividends, stock repurchases and capital expenditures. In addition, the Company is required to maintain specified levels of tangible net worth and comply with a maximum cumulative net loss test. At December 31, 1997, the Company was not in compliance with the covenant related to the maximum cumulative net loss test. On March 31, 1998, the Chase Manhattan Bank, as agent, issued a waiver for the violation of this covenant. Additionally, on March 31, 1998, the Credit Facility was amended to provide for a sublimit for direct borrowings of $60 million; a letter of credit line of $35 million; and required seasonal overadvances as requested by the Company. Any tax refunds received applicable to 1997 and prior years and proceeds from the sale of fixed assets are to be applied to reduce the balloon payment on the Term Loan. 9. INCOME TAXES Income tax expense (benefit) for 1997, 1996 and 1995 is comprised of the following: 1997 1996 1995 ------- ------- ------- Current: Federal .................... $(1,537) $(1,462) $ 2,452 State and local ............ 35 592 523 Deferred ....................... 292 (2,449) 1,279 ------- ------- ------- $(1,210) $(3,319) $ 4,254 ======= ======= ======= F-10 A reconciliation of the statutory Federal tax rate and the effective rate follows: 1997 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- Federal statutory tax rate ....................

The Company considers these deferred tax assets to be fully realizable at the Federal tax level based upon the Company's anticipated future earnings and because many of these items are expected to reverse within the next twelve months. As of December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for a portion of its state net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 1997, the following Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards were available: Expiration Dates Net Operating Losses ---------------- -------------------- Federal State ------- ----- 2003 $1,676 $ -- 2011 -- 6,070 2012 742 5,550 During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, the Company recorded interest income of $500 related to prior year carry-back claims. F-11 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES a. In November 1996, ten designated class action lawsuits were commenced against the Company and certain former officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints in these actions allege various violations of the federal securities laws and seek an unspecified amount of monetary damages and other monetary relief. These actions have now been consolidated pursuant to court order and the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The Company is not presently in a position to determine the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings or their impact on the financial condition of the Company. In September 1996, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") obtained an order directing a private investigation of the Company in connection with, among other things, the alleged overstatement of revenues and expenses for certain reporting periods. The Company is continuing to cooperate with the SEC's ongoing investigation, which became a formal investigation in the latter part of 1996. b. In connection with contingent liabilities arising from the alleged inaccuracies in the Company's reporting of revenues and expenses for certain reporting periods, the Company has agreed to deposit $5,000 in an escrow account with the Company's insurance carrier over a three year period to help defray claims, if any. c. Rental expense for operating leases for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997, December 31, 1996 and December 2, 1995 approximated $4,505, $5,207 and $2,996, respectively. Minimum future rental payments as of December 31, 1997 for operating leases with initial noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year, are as follows: Year Ending December 31 Amount 1998.................................... $ 3,683 1999.................................... 3,309 2000.................................... 2,445 2001.................................... 1,998 2001.................................... 1,851 Thereafter.............................. 8,640 ------- $21,926 ======= d. At December 31, 1997 the Company was contingently liable on outstanding letters of credit issued amounting to $ 20,917. 11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN The Company sponsors an Employees' Savings 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") covering substantially all of its employees. Contributions to the Plan are made by the Company at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Company did not make contributions to the Plan in 1997, 1996 and 1995, except for the payment of administrative costs. 12. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic EPS excludes potential dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (convertible preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock and common stock options using the treasury stock method) were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially issuable common shares in the diluted EPS computation are excluded in net loss periods, as their effect would be antidilutive. F-12 The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, for the years ended December 31, 1997, December 31, 1996 and December 2, 1995
1997 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- Number of shares on which basic earnings per share is calculated: Average outstanding during the period 14,070 14,012 13,910 Add-incremental shares under stock compensation plans 0 0 76 ------- ------- ------ Number of shares on which diluted earnings per share is calculated 14,070 14,012 13,986 ======= ======= ====== Net (loss) income $(3,209) $(8,288) $5,635 ======= ======= ====== Basic (loss) income per share $(0.23) $(0.59) $0.41 ======= ======= ====== Diluted (loss) income per share $(0.23) $(0.59) $0.40 ======= ======= ======
Stock options to purchase 311,500 shares in the year ended December 2, 1995 were outstanding, but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares, and therefore, the effect would be antidilutive 13. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION a. Cash paid for interest and income taxes was $5,692 and $0, respectively, in 1997, $4,960 and $2,990, respectively, in 1996 and $3,993 and $7,409, respectively, in 1995. b. In connection with the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Beldoch and certain assets of Oak Hill for $32,400 (inclusive of a $2,000 note payable), the Company acquired assets with a fair value of $38,241 and assumed liabilities of $9,987 and recorded goodwill of $4,146. 14. STOCK OPTIONS The Company has a stock award and incentive program that permits the issuance of up to 2,000,000 options on terms as determined by the Board of Directors. Under the terms of the plan, options granted may be either non-qualified or incentive stock options and the exercise price, determined by the Stock Option committee, may not be less than the fair market value of a share on the date of the grant. Information regarding the Company's stock option plan is summarized below:

F-13 The options outstanding at December 31, 1997 range in price as follows: # OF OPTIONS EXERCISE PRICE -------------- ------------------- 402,900 $1.8064 - 3.6125 -------------- 965,000 $3.6126 -5.4188 -------------- 81,000 $7.2251 - 9.0313 -------------- 21,200 $9.0313 - 10.8375 -------------- 55,000 $10.8376 - 12.6438 -------------- 135,550 $16.2564 - 18.0864 ============== 1,660,650 ============== The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock-based compensation plans because the exercise price for stock options granted equaled the market price of the underlying stock at the date of grant. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans consistent with the methodology prescribed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's net income and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 1997, December 31, 1996 and December 2, 1995 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below: 1997 1996 1995 --------------------------- Net (loss) income: As reported ..................... $(3,209) $(8,288) $5,635 ======== ======== ====== Pro forma........................ $(3,834) (8,414) $5,573 ======== ======== ====== Basic net (loss) income per share: As reported ..................... $ (0.23) $ (0.59) $ 0.41 ======== ======== ====== Pro forma........................ $ (0.27) (0.60) $ 0.40 ======== ======== ====== The weighted average Black - Scholes value of the options granted during 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $2.37, $10.49 and $4.29 respectively. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the Black - Scholes option-pricing model for grants in 1997, 1996 and 1995 respectively: dividend yield of 0% for all periods, volatility of 55%, 47% and 36%, risk-free interest rate of 6.51%, 6.90% and 6.41% and an expected life of 7 years. 15. RESTRICTED STOCK AND WARRANTS Restricted Stock In 1996, the Company adopted a plan to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock to employees of the Company. During 1997, 305,000 shares were granted to employees of the Company at no cost to the employees. Of the total number of restricted shares granted, 5,000 shares vested and were issued upon the date of grant at the fair market value of $2.94 per share. The remaining 300,000 restricted shares were granted at a per share price of $2.94 and vest as follows: 60,000 shares on March 31, 1999, and 240,000 shares on March 31, 2000. Compensation cost recorded in 1997 was $233,000, which represents the amortization of the value of the restricted stock award at the date of grant over the vesting period. F-14 Warrants On January 14, 1997, the Company issued warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock at $5.00 per share to the principal of a company to rescind an acquisition transaction. The warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire July 23, 2004. 16. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company decided to discontinue the manufacture and sale of Mickey & Co. licensed character product line under a license agreement with Disney Enterprises, Inc. and recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $1,723 and a charge to cost of goods sold of $548 for the write down of merchandise inventories. The restructuring charge included: payments due under agreements with the licensor; write-downs of property, plant and equipment; costs related to lease terminations; employee severance payments; and other incremental charges which were primarily attributable to discontinuing the licensed character product lines. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company adopted a plan of restructuring and recorded a pretax charge of $2,815. The key elements of the restructuring plan include the costs associated with the consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities and the discontinuance of certain product lines. The restructuring provision includes estimated costs of asset write-downs, lease terminations and other charges. 17. BUSINESS CONCENTRATIONS Substantially all of the Company's sales are made to customers in the United States. Sales to one chain store retailer accounted for approximately 15%, 19% and 15% of the Company's sales in Fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. No other customers accounted for more than eight percent of the Company's sales in Fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, and no account receivable from any customer exceeded $4,408 at December 31, 1997. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of its customers as well as general economic conditions. Consequently, an adverse change in those factors could affect the Company's estimate of its bad debts. 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS A. LONG TERM DEBT On November 13, 1998, the Company and the Company's operating subsidiaries, Donnkenny Apparel, Inc., Megaknits, Inc. and Beldoch Industries Corporation, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility") to, among other things, provide for general working capital needs of the Company including letters of credit. The Credit Facility was amended as follows: the total amount available under the Revolving Credit Agreement is $75 million subject to an asset based borrowing formula, with sublimits of $55 million for direct borrowings, $35 million for letters of credit and certain overadvances. The interest rate is equal to the prime rate plus 1 1/2% per annum. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit agreement in excess of an allowable overadvance will bear interest at the prime rate plus 3 1/2 %. The Revolving Credit Agreement also requires the Company to pay certain letters of credit fees and unused commitment fees. Advances and letters of credit will be limited to (i) up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus (ii) up to 60% of eligible inventory,, plus (iii) an allowable overadvance. Proceeds from the sales of fixed assets and income tax refunds are to be applied to reduce the overadvance facility. The Credit Facility will expire on March 31, 2000. B. SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS PLAN On April 2, 1998, the Company's board of directors authorized a stockholder rights plan. Under the terms of the plan, stockholders of record at the close of business on April 13, 1998, received a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock held. The rights will become exercisable only in the event, with certain exceptions, an acquiring party accumulates fifteen percent or more of the Company's voting stock, or if a party announces an offer to acquire fifteen percent or more. The rights will expire on April 1, 2008. F-15 Each right will entitle stockholders to buy one one-hundreth of a share of a new series of preferred stock at an exercisable price of $14.00. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, holders of the rights will be entitled to purchase either the Company's stock or shares in an "acquiring entity" at half of market-value. Further, at any time after a person or group acquires fifteen percent or more (but less than fifty percent) of the Company's outstanding voting stock, the Board of Directors may, at its option, exchange part or all of the rights (other than rights held by the acquiring person or group, which will become void) for shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Company will be entitled to redeem the rights at $0.01 per right at any time until the tenth day following the acquisition of a fifteen percent position in its voting stock. C. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On September 29, 1998, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Staff") notified Donnkenny's counsel that the Staff would be recommending to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that it commence an action against the Company for alleged violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-13. As of February 2, 1999, the Company negotiated a resolution of these charges and, without admitting or denying the charges, and without any monetary penalty being assessed against the Company, has consented to the issuance of an administrative cease-and-desist order. 19. RESTATEMENT Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's December 31, 1997 consolidated financial statements, the Company's management discovered accounting irregularities in the financial statements for the years ended December 2, 1995 and December 3, 1994 and the Transition Period (see Note 2). As a result, the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 2, 1995 and December 3, 1994 and the Transition Period have been restated from the amounts previously reported to appropriately account for the recognition of net sales, cost of sales, and certain expenses. A summary of the significant effects of the restatement is as follows:
