        prepared in accordance  with the  instructions to Form 10-Q. The results

2.      Earnings per share:

        Basic  earnings  per share  amounts are  computed  based on the weighted
        average number of shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted
        earnings per share  amounts are based on an  increased  number of shares
        that would be  outstanding  assuming  the  exercise  of  dilutive  stock
        options and contingent  consideration  pursuant to the merger  agreement
        dated  October 24, 2000.  For purposes of the diluted  computation,  the
        number of shares that would be issued from the exercise of stock options
        has been reduced by the number of shares which could have been purchased
        from the proceeds at the average market price of the Company's  stock on
        June 30, 2002 and 2001.

        The  number of shares  used in the  computation  of basic  earnings  per
        common  share was  3,098,936  at June 30,  2002 and 2001.  The number of
        shares used in the computation of diluted  earnings per common share was
        4,027,215 and 4,621,139 at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.


3.      Inventories:

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

                                     - 7 -



        dividends  were equal to  two-thirds  (2/3) of the net after tax profits
        after adding back goodwill  amortization.  In 2002 and years subsequent,
        the dividend is reduced in proportion to the redeemed  Preferred  Stock.
        The  percentage of net income,  as defined in the Company's  October 24,
        2000 Merger  Agreement,  to be paid to holders of the Preferred Stock is
        as follows:

                                                      2003        51.9%

6.      Recent pronouncements:

        In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
        SFAS No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other  Intangible  Assets." Under these new
        standards,  all  acquisitions  subsequent  to  June  30,  2001  must  be
        accounted  for under the purchase  method of  accounting,  and purchased
        goodwill is no longer amortized over its useful life.  Rather,  goodwill
        will be subject to a periodic impairment test based upon its fair value,
        at least annually. The Company has completed its transitional intangible
        asset impairment test and no impairment loss has been  recognized.  SFAS
        No.  142  further   clarifies  the  recognition  of  intangible   assets
        separately  from  goodwill.   Identifiable  intangible  assets  will  be
        amortized when their useful life is determined not to be infinite.

        In August  2001,  the FASB issued SFAS No.  143,  "Accounting  for Asset
        Retirement  Obligations"  ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 establishes  accounting
        standards for  recognition  and measurement of a liability for the costs
        of asset retirement  obligations.  Under SFAS 143, the costs of retiring
        an asset will be recorded as a liability when the retirement  obligation
        arises, and will be amortized to expense over the life of the asset.

        In  October  2001,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No. 144  "Accounting  for the
        Impairment or Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets"  ("SFAS  144").  SFAS 144
        addresses  financial  accounting  and  reporting  for the  impairment or
        disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations.

        The Company  has adopted  these  statements  effective  as of January 1,
        2002,  and  does  not  expect  them to  have a  material  impact  on its
        consolidated financial position or results of operations.

$147,211 or 3.3%.  Gross profit  decreased as a percentage of net sales to 31.1%
from 35.9%.  This  decrease as a percentage  of net sales was primarily due to a
change in the  Company's  sales mix  compared to the three months ended June 30,
2001.

months ended June 30, 2002 from  $2,795,171  for the three months ended June 30,

30, 2002 from  $138,825 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of

profits plus goodwill amortization. In subsequent years, the dividend is reduced
in  proportion to the redeemed  Preferred  Stock.  The dividend  payable for the

attributable  to cash paid for the mandatory  redemption of the Preferred  Stock
and the payment of the dividend on the Preferred Stock.

        The  balance  due from the  factor  represents  the  amount  owed to the
Company for factored receivables less the amount of outstanding advances made by
the factor to the Company.  At June 30, 2002,  due from factor was $3,743,386 as
compared  to  $3,452,389  at June 30,  2001.  This  increase is the result of an
increase in sales assigned to the factor. The Company's  inventory  increased to
$13,945,666  at June 30, 2002 as compared to $11,160,520 at June 30, 2001 due to
an increase in booked and anticipated orders.

        As a result of the Merger the  Company  assumed  an  obligation  to make
mandatory principal and interest payments to holders of industrial revenue bonds
issued to finance the 1996 construction of the Company's  manufacturing facility
in Moberly,  Missouri.  The industrial revenue bonds were secured by a letter of
credit that  expired on April 30, 2001.  On April 16, 2001 the Company  redeemed
the industrial  revenue bonds in the amount of  $3,350,000.  To redeem the bonds
the  Company  borrowed  $3,350,000  from the  factor,  secured by the  Company's
Apparel  Products  inventory.  It is the Company's  intention to refinance  this
amount on a long term basis.

        Management anticipates it will maintain sufficient cash, cash equivalent
balances,  short term  investments  and a net surplus  position with the factor,
although no assurance  to that effect can be given.  Positive  cash flow,  if it
occurs,  will create working capital to fund the Company's continued growth over
the next 12 months, the mandatory redemption requirements of the Preferred Stock
due on December 31, 2002 and the Preferred Stock dividend due on March 15, 2003.
If a positive cash flow does not occur,  there will be a decrease in cash,  cash
equivalent  balances and short term  investments  or borrowings  with the factor
and/or other lenders will increase.
