Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
         -------------------------------------

         On October 1, 2003, the Registrant acquired certain stated assets of
Robyn Meredith, Inc. ("RMI"). The assets that were acquired were the assets of
RMI devoted to its women's sportswear business and consisted of inventory of
finished goods, raw materials and trim, certain tradenames including the name
"Robyn Meredith", open purchase orders and certain equipment that was subject to
equipment lease agreements. Registrant intents to continue to use these assets
for the manufacture and distribution of women's sportswear.
         The purchase price paid to RMI by Registrant was $4.6 million, of which
$3.4 million was delivered at the closing of the transaction and $1.2 million
was represented by the delivery of a Promissory Note providing for equal monthly
payments over three years without interest. The purchase price was determined by
valuing the inventory and through negotiations between the parties as to the
balance of the purchase price. The Registrant also took over a lease obligation
for facilities in Burlington New Jersey to be used primarily for office space
and for some finishing and shipping functions. The Lease for the premises
provides for a three year term with monthly rent of $9,400 plus payment of a
pro-rata portion of common expenses for the building. The Registrant also
entered into a month to month agreement for temporary space in the Burlington
New Jersey building providing for a monthly rent of $19,100.
     The  financial   component  of  the   acquisition   was  funded  under  the
Registrant's existing Credit Facility with CIT.
     Prior  to the  acquisition  by  Registrant  described  above,  neither  the
Registrant nor any of its affiliates,  directors or officers,  nor any associate
of any such director or officer, had any relationship with RMI.
