PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Nautica Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") designs, sources and markets men's apparel through two wholly owned
subsidiaries, Nautica International, Inc. ("Nautica") and State-O-Maine, Inc.
("State-O-Maine"). Nautica offers a lifestyle collection of men's sportswear,
outerwear and activewear with a distinctive active outdoor image. The
collection, sold under the Nautica brand, features innovative designs, classic
styling, bold primary colors and quality fabric. State-O-Maine offers: Nautica
brand men's dress shirts, robes and loungewear; sportswear and swimwear under
the Bayou Sport label; apparel designed and sourced for private label programs;
and, robes and loungewear under the Charles Goodnight and NFL (National Football
League Properties) labels.

Nautica's in-store shop program is a primary component of the
Company's growth strategy. Through this program, Nautica and a department store
customer create a specific area within the store dedicated to the exclusive
merchandising and sale of the Nautica collection. Each of these shops (referred
to herein as a "Nautica Shop") is outfitted with signature Nautica fixtures and
presents the Nautica collection in a visually attractive environment consistent
with the Nautica image.

In addition to Nautica's wholesale business, the Company
operates 28 Nautica factory outlet stores, one Company factory store and two
flagship stores in New York City and Newport Beach, California through its
wholly owned subsidiary Nautica Retail USA, Inc. ("Nautica Retail"). The
factory outlet stores provide an additional sales channel for Nautica products
and allow for organized distribution of excess and out-of-season merchandise.

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Nautica
Apparel, Inc., strategically extends the Nautica product lines and broadens the
international distribution of the Nautica apparel collection through license
agreements. The Nautica name is currently licensed for a range of products
consistent with Nautica's design concepts and image, including men's cologne and
skin care products, watches, eyewear and footwear.

PRODUCTS

Nautica

Nautica offers a lifestyle collection of men's sportswear,
outerwear and activewear with a distinctive active outdoor image. The
collection, sold under the Nautica brand, features innovative designs, classic
styling, bold primary colors and quality fabrics. The Nautica name and
trademarks are prominently displayed on Nautica products to promote brand
awareness and maintain consumer loyalty. Although Nautica products are targeted
to the 25-54 year old age group, the Company believes that its products appeal
to both younger and older consumers who identify with the Nautica lifestyle and
image.

The Nautica collection is offered in three principal groups:
Anchor, Crew and Fashion. Products in each of these groups are designed by
Nautica's in-house staff and include sportswear, outerwear and activewear.
Sportswear includes sweaters, cardigans, woven shirts, knit shirts, rugbys,
pants and shorts. Outerwear includes parkas, anoraks, bomber jackets and foul
weather gear. Activewear includes fleece and french terry tops, french terry
pants and shorts, tee shirts and swimwear.

The Anchor group serves as the foundation for the Nautica
collection and consists of basic items, including cotton twill shirts, cotton
pique knit shirts, cotton twill pants, lightweight jackets and swimwear. These
seasonless products feature Nautica's signature color schemes and styles and are
available to retail customers throughout the year. The Company maintains
inventory of Anchor products in order to continuously

1
3
replenish the stock of its retail customers. Since 1992, retail customers have
been able to re-order Anchor products through electronic data interchange (EDI).

The Crew and Fashion groups are usually presented in nine
deliveries during Nautica's four merchandising seasons. Crew is typically the
first collection delivery of the Spring, Transitional, Fall and Holiday seasons.
The Crew collections reinterpret Anchor basics by introducing seasonal colors
and offer additional items and styles. Fashion follows with two or three
deliveries in each of the Spring and Fall seasons and one delivery in each of
the Summer and Holiday seasons. The Fashion collections are based on seasonal
themes developed by Nautica's design and merchandising staffs. These themes,
which have recently included "Great Lakes Adventure" and "Windward Sailing"
reinforce the Nautica image. The Fashion group is distinguished by its
distinctive use of color, novelty prints and fabrics and unique design elements.
The Anchor, Crew and Fashion groups are developed to be merchandised together as
a cohesive Nautica collection.

The Company also licenses the Nautica name and trademarks for
a range of products consistent with Nautica's design concepts and image,
including men's cologne and skin care products, watches, eyewear and footwear.
See "Licensing."

State-O-Maine

State-O-Maine offers: Nautica brand men's dress shirts, robes
and loungewear; sportswear and swimwear under the Bayou Sport label; apparel
designed and sourced for private label programs; and, robes and loungewear under
the Charles Goodnight and NFL labels. The Nautica brand men's dress shirt line
targets the same consumer base as the Nautica collection, but is typically sold
and displayed in the men's furnishings department of leading department and
specialty stores. For its other lines, State-O-Maine employs more competitive
pricing and broader distribution strategies than those of Nautica.

In 1989, State-O-Maine commenced the development, sale and
distribution of distinctive men's dress shirts, robes and loungewear bearing the
Nautica label. This line features quality fabrics, classic styling and design
concepts inspired by the Nautica collections.

In 1992, State-O-Maine introduced a spirited line of men's
apparel under the Bayou Sport label. The Bayou Sport line of woven and knit
shirts and swimwear features vibrant prints and bold colors and patterns, and is
offered at competitive price points.

State-O-Maine continues to actively develop its private label
business for department store customers such as Belk and Dillard's and for
national chain store operators such as J.C. Penney, Target and Sears, Roebuck
and Co. Products designed and sourced for private label programs include
sportswear, swimwear, robes and loungewear. The Company uses its design and
sourcing expertise to offer quality products at competitive prices.

In 1994, State-O-Maine introduced robes and loungewear under
the NFL label and in 1995 is introducing robes and loungewear under the Charles
Goodnight label. The new license agreements will enable State-O-Maine to explore
new business opportunities through the sale and distribution of its core robe
and loungewear products.

MARKETING

Nautica's in-store shop program is a primary component of the
Company's growth strategy. Through this program, Nautica and a department store
customer create a specific area within the store dedicated to the exclusive
merchandising and sale of the Nautica collection. These Nautica Shops,
strategically located in the men's collections departments of leading department
stores, provide a distinctive selling environment tailored

2
4
to Nautica's specifications and generally include cherry and ash wood flooring,
custom designed ash fixtures, brass hardware and nautical props. As a result of
their configuration, Nautica Shops stock a greater volume of Nautica inventory
per square foot than would typically be carried in a standard department store
setting. They also allow for enhanced customer service and monitoring of sales
performance. Accordingly, management believes that the Nautica Shops achieve
sales productivity significantly exceeding that of sales of Nautica products in
a standard department store setting.

Nautica plans to continue to install and expand Nautica Shops
in department stores which currently sell the Nautica collection and to install
Nautica Shops in additional retail locations. The continued development of the
Nautica Shop program is dependent on general apparel industry conditions,
continued participation by retail customers and continued demand by consumers
for the Nautica collection.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of the Nautica Shop
program, Nautica established a merchandise coordinator program in 1990. Each of
Nautica's merchandise coordinators services a group of retail customers within a
common geographic region. They communicate with and visit each of their
customers on a regular basis to ensure proper visual display of Nautica
merchandise, analyze inventory requirements, and provide selling and
merchandising support to the sales staff. Merchandise coordinators also train
certain department store employees with regard to Nautica's product features,
sales methods and shop management. They also provide sales information to the
Company's retail analysts who monitor retail customer performance and develop
plans to assist these retail customers with future purchases of Nautica
products. Management believes that the performance of Nautica Shops is enhanced
by the close interaction of its merchandise coordinators with its retail
customers.

Nautica concentrates its marketing efforts on national and
regional print advertising. The advertising captures the Nautica image in
environments that reflect the Nautica lifestyle collection. The Nautica
advertising campaign is featured throughout the year in national magazines
including Conde Nast Traveler, Details, Esquire, GQ, Men's Journal, The New York
Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Sports Illustrated, Vanity Fair; "W", and L'Uomo
Vogue; and in regional magazines. In addition, Nautica participates with its
retail customers in a cooperative advertising program.

The print advertising is supplemented by a series of special
events and sponsorships. Nautica was the official sports clothing of Pact
'95/Young America, the sailing team that competed in defense of the America's
Cup. In addition, Nautica continues its sponsorship of the U.S. Sailing Team,
and its title sponsorship of the World Youth Sailing Championship and
presentation of the Nautica Cup. The Company is the official apparel sponsor of
the Northville (L.I.) Classic and the Transamerica Senior Golf Championship, two
events on the Senior PGA tour. In 1995, Nautica also will sponsor the Nestle
Invitational, a PGA sanctioned tournament and the PaineWebber Invitational,
another Senior PGA event.

Nautica products are also sold through 29 Company-owned
factory outlet stores located throughout the United States and two Company-owned
retail stores located in New York City and Newport Beach, California. See
"Retail."

Nautica sells its products primarily to leading department and
specialty stores. Its principal customers include Dillard's, May Company
Department Stores (including Kaufmann's, Foley's, Filene's, Lord & Taylor and
Famous Barr), Dayton's-Hudson-Field's, Federated Department Stores (including
Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Lazarus/Rich's) and Nordstrom. Nautica maintains
showrooms in New York City and Dallas, Texas.

State-O-Maine sells its products primarily to department
stores including Dillard's and May Company Department Stores (including Lord &
Taylor, Kaufmann's, Foley's, Famous Barr and Filene's), Dayton's-Hudson-Field's,
and Federated Department Stores. In addition, State-O-Maine sells its products
to

3
5
national chain store operators such as J.C. Penney Co., Inc. and Sears, Roebuck
and Co. State-O-Maine's Bayou Sport line and its private label program employ
more competitive pricing and broader distribution strategies than the Nautica
brand. State-O-Maine products are generally sold in individual product
categories through mainfloor classification departments. Its products are
marketed by its regional sales managers and sales representatives through its
showrooms in New York City, Dallas, Texas, and New Orleans, Louisiana. In fiscal
1995, Dillard's and May Company Department Stores each accounted for
approximately 17% of the Company's total gross sales. No other customer of the
Company accounted for 10% or more of the Company's sales during that period.

PRODUCT DESIGN AND SOURCING

The Company manages the development of its apparel from
initial product concept through color and pattern design, fabric identification
and testing and garment manufacturing. Products are designed by the in-house
staffs of Nautica and State-O-Maine. The design teams work in conjunction with
the sales and production teams to determine the apparel styles for a particular
season based upon an evaluation of current style trends, prior year's sales and
consultations with retail customers. In conjunction with agents located in
foreign countries, Nautica and State-O-Maine arrange fabric sourcing and garment
production to ensure that final products satisfy detailed specifications and
quality standards.

The Company contracts for the manufacture of its products and
does not own or operate any manufacturing facilities. The Company's
manufacturers are located primarily in Hong Kong, the People's Republic of
China, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Saipan, Thailand, India and Turkey.
The Company's agents, based in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Turkey and India monitor
production to ensure compliance with design specifications, quality standards
and timely delivery of finished garments. They are assisted by Company employees
based in New York who regularly visit with the manufacturers to monitor
production. To date, the Company has not experienced significant difficulty in
obtaining manufacturing services. Management believes that many alternate
manufacturing sources exist. However, the inability of current sources to
satisfy the Company's manufacturing requirements, the loss of certain
manufacturers, the loss of an agent of the Company or a delay in locating
manufacturing capacity following termination of a manufacturing relationship,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating
results. While the Company has long standing relationships with many of its
manufacturers and believes its relations to be good, it does not have long-term
commitments with manufacturers.

The Company sources for many of its manufacturers a broad
range of natural and synthetic fabrics primarily from foreign textile mills and
converters. The Company separately negotiates with fabric suppliers for the sale
of required fabric which is then purchased by its manufacturers in accordance
with the Company's specifications. To date, the Company has not experienced
significant difficulty in sourcing fabrics for its manufacturers. Management
believes that many alternate sources of supplies exist. However, the inability
of current sources to satisfy the Company's fabric requirements, the loss of
certain fabric vendors, or a delay in manufacturers obtaining fabric from
certain vendors, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business
and operating results. The Company does not have any long-term commitments with
fabric suppliers.

The Company contracts to purchase its goods in United States
dollars and has not experienced material difficulties as a result of foreign
political, economic or social instability. However, the Company's business
remains subject to the usual risks associated with foreign suppliers.

LICENSING

The Company strategically extends the Nautica product line and
broadens the international distribution of the Nautica apparel collection
through license agreements. These license agreements allow the Company to enter
new businesses and countries with minimal capital commitments and to benefit
from the experience of the licensee with the licensed product or the local
market. The Nautica name and related

4
6
trademarks are licensed through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Nautica
Apparel, Inc. ("Nautica Licensing"). Net royalty income to the Company was
approximately $848,000, $942,000 and $1,285,000 in fiscal 1993, fiscal 1994 and
fiscal 1995, respectively.

Nautica Licensing currently licenses products for wholesale
distribution in the following product categories: men's cologne and skin care
products, neckwear, tailored clothing, rainwear, boys' apparel, footwear,
luggage, watches, caps, men's hosiery, eyewear, belts and small leather goods,
umbrellas and a Lincoln-Mercury Villager minivan.

Internationally, Nautica apparel is licensed for sale in
Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, the Caribbean, Chile, Colombia, Greece, Hong
Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Panama, Peru, Taiwan, Thailand,
the United Kingdom and Venezuela. In addition to wholesale distribution of
Nautica apparel, international licensees operate a total of approximately 53
Nautica retail stores in certain of these markets.

As a provision of the agreement by which the Company acquired
the Nautica brand in 1984, David Chu, Executive Vice President of the Company
and President of Nautica Licensing and Nautica, is entitled to receive 50% of
the net royalty income from licensing the Nautica name and trademarks. The
Company is entitled to receive the remaining 50% of such net royalty income.

RETAIL

Factory Outlet Stores

The Company operates 28 Nautica factory outlet stores
generally located in manufacturers' outlet centers throughout the United States
and one Company factory outlet store located in one of its Rockland, Maine
facilities. The Company's retail operations are conducted through its wholly
owned subsidiary, Nautica Retail USA, Inc. ("Nautica Retail"). These factory
outlet stores have enabled the Company to increase sales in certain geographic
markets where Nautica products were not previously available and to consumers
who favor value-oriented retailers. They also provide opportunities for Nautica
to sell excess and out-of-season merchandise, thereby reducing the need to sell
such merchandise to discounters at excessively low prices. Nautica factory
outlet stores are geographically positioned to minimize potential conflict with
the Company's retail customers.

Flagship Stores

The Company operates two Nautica flagship stores, one in New
York City and one in Newport Beach, California. With their signature Nautica
cherry and ash wood flooring, ash fixtures, brass hardware and nautical props,
these stores are designed to convey the complete Nautica image. The stores carry
a wide range of Nautica brand products, including Nautica furnishings, watches
and footwear. These stores serve as a showcase for Nautica's retail customers
and build brand recognition among consumers.

SEASONALITY

Historically, the Company has experienced its highest level of
sales in the third quarter and its lowest level in the first quarter. This
pattern has resulted primarily from the timing of shipments to retail customers
for Spring and Fall seasons. In the future, the timing of seasonal shipments may
vary by quarter.

TRADEMARKS

Nautica and its related trademarks (the "Nautica Marks"),
including the Nautica Spinnaker, are registered trademarks of Nautica Apparel,
Inc. in the United States for apparel and other products, including cologne,
eyewear, watches, small leather goods, umbrellas, luggage and jewelry.
Applications to register the Nautica Marks in other product categories have been
filed by the Company in the United States. In addition, the Company has
registered or is in the process of registering the Nautica Marks in over 70
countries throughout the world for apparel and in other complementary product
categories.

State-O-Maine is a registered trademark, and Bayou Sport is a
trademark, of State-O-Maine in the United States for certain apparel items.
State-O-Maine has filed trademark applications in the United States for Bayou
Sport.

The Company regards its trademarks and other proprietary
rights as valuable assets.

COMPETITION

The apparel industry is highly competitive. The Company
encounters substantial competition from brands such as Polo/Ralph Lauren, Tommy
Hilfiger and Claiborne, as well as from certain non-designer lines. In addition,
department stores, including some of the Company's major retail customers, have
increased in recent years the amount of goods manufactured specifically for them
and sold under their own labels. Some of the Company's competitors are
significantly larger and more diversified than the Company and have
substantially greater resources available for marketing their products. The
Company believes that its ability to compete effectively depends upon the
continuing appeal of Nautica apparel and the Company's other products to its
retail customers and consumers as well as the Company's ability to continue to
offer high quality apparel at appropriate price points.

EMPLOYEES

At February 28, 1995, the Company had approximately 760
employees. Approximately 160 employees are located at the Company's Rockland,
Maine facilities; approximately 120 of such employees are members of the
Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union, AFL-CIO, CLC. The Company
considers its relations with its employees to be good.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company operates three warehouse and distribution
facilities in Rockland, Maine. A 165,000 square foot facility, owned by the
Company, is used for receiving, shipping and warehousing the Nautica apparel and
private label lines. The Company expects to complete an expansion of the
facility in 1995, which will add approximately 165,000 square feet of usable
area on three levels. A 100,000 square foot facility, also owned by the Company,
is used primarily for receiving, shipping and warehousing the Nautica
furnishings, Bayou Sport and Nautica Retail inventories. A leased facility of
approximately 33,000 square feet is used for warehousing a range of the
Company's products. All merchandise is shipped directly from the Company's
manufacturers to its facilities in Rockland, Maine where it is processed and
shipped to customers.

The Company has administrative and sales offices at 40 West
57th Street, New York, New York, where it occupies under lease approximately
42,000 square feet. It also leases a design studio of approximately 22,000
square feet located at 11 West 19th Street, New York, New York. The Company or
its subsidiaries also lease retail stores in New York, New York and Newport

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal year ended February 28, 1995 compared to February 28, 1994:

Consolidated net sales increased 28.4% to $247.6 million in the
fiscal year ended February 28, 1995 compared to $192.9 million in the prior
fiscal year. This increase is primarily a result of increased sales of Nautica
products through its wholesale and retail operations. Nautica's wholesale sales
increased due to the expansion of Nautica's in-store shop program, sales to new
retail customers and to additional locations of existing customers, and the
continued growth of a basic stock replenishment program for the Anchor group of
Nautica products. The increase in Nautica's wholesale sales is due to increased
unit volume rather than price increases. Nautica retail sales increased as a
result of opening eight additional Nautica factory outlet stores during the
current year, the full year effect of four stores opened in the prior year and
to an increase in comparable store sales of 18.9%.

Consolidated gross profit during the fiscal year ended February
28, 1995 increased to 44.3% of net sales, as compared to 43.5% of net sales in
the prior fiscal year. The net increase resulted primarily from a shift in sales
mix to higher margin products.

Designing, selling, shipping and general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 29.7% during the fiscal year
ended February 28, 1995 as compared to 29.5% in the prior fiscal year. The net
increase resulted from additional expenses incurred due to the expiration of a
license agreement in the Company's State-O-Maine, Inc. subsidiary in the current
year.

Operating profit increased 34.2% to $36.2 million (14.6% of net
sales) in the fiscal year ended February 28, 1995 as compared to $27.0 million
(14.0% of net sales) in the prior fiscal year as a result of the factors
discussed above.

Net royalty income increased by $343,000 to $1,285,000 in the
fiscal year ended February 28, 1995 as compared to $942,000 in the prior fiscal
year. This net increase resulted from increased royalty revenue associated with
increased sales by licensees partially offset by increased expenses associated
with a bankruptcy filing by one licensee.

Other income consists of interest income of $1,997,000. Other
expense of $881,000 relates primarily to costs associated with the Company's
evaluation of its warehouse and distribution facilities resulting in the
decision to remain in the state of Maine.

The effective tax rate decreased to 37.9% for the fiscal year
ended February 28, 1995 as compared to 41.2% in the prior fiscal year. The
decrease is primarily due to certain state tax relief provided to the Company
and to tax exempt interest income.

Net earnings increased 42.7% to $24.0 million in the fiscal year
ended February 28, 1995 from $16.8 million in the prior fiscal year as a result
of the factors discussed above.

Fiscal year ended February 28, 1994 compared to February 28, 1993:

Consolidated net sales increased 27.8% to $192.9 million in the
fiscal year ended February 28, 1994 compared to $151.0 million in the prior
fiscal year. This increase is primarily a result of increased sales of Nautica
products through its wholesale and retail operations. Nautica's wholesale sales
increased due to the expansion of Nautica's in-store shop program, sales to new
retail customers and to additional locations of existing customers, and the
continued growth of a basic stock replenishment program for the Anchor group of
Nautica products. The increase in Nautica's wholesale sales is due to increased
unit volume rather than price increases. Nautica retail sales increased as a
result of opening four additional Nautica factory outlet stores in the current
year, to the full year effect of six stores opened in the prior fiscal year and
to an increase in comparable store sales of 11%.

Consolidated gross profit during the fiscal year ended February
28, 1994 increased to 43.5% of net sales, as compared to 42.0% of net sales in
the prior fiscal year. The net increase resulted primarily from a shift in sales
mix to higher margin products and a decrease in sales of close-out merchandise
primarily due to the opening of additional Nautica factory outlet stores.

Designing, selling, shipping and general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 29.5% during the fiscal year
ended February 28, 1994 as compared to 30.3% in the prior fiscal year. The net
decrease resulted from decreases in production, design, shipping, and general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by
increases in selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales.
Production, design, shipping and general and administrative expenses decreased
as a percentage of net sales due to economies of scale achieved with sales
growth. The increase in selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net
sales was primarily due to the growth in sales of Nautica products, the
expansion of Nautica's in-store shop program and the opening of additional
Nautica factory outlet stores.

Interest expense remained relatively constant at approximately
$267,000 in the fiscal year ended February 28, 1994 as compared to the prior
fiscal year.

Operating profit increased 52.5% to $27.0 million (14.0% of net
sales) in the fiscal year ended February 28, 1994 as compared to $17.7 million
(11.7% of net sales) in the prior fiscal year as a result of the factors
discussed above.

Net royalty income increased by $94,000 to $942,000 in the fiscal
year ended February 28, 1994 as compared to $848,000 in the prior fiscal year.
This net increase resulted from increased royalty revenue associated with new
license agreements entered into during the fiscal year, offset by increased
expenses, primarily associated with the Company's trademark registration program
for the Nautica marks, trademark amortization and salaries.

Other income consists of interest income of $268,000 earned
primarily on cash generated from the Company's public offering of common stock
completed in December 1993. Other expense of $164,000 relates to the write-off
of fixed assets associated with the relocation of the Nautica design studio.

Pre-tax income in the current fiscal year benefited from an
$826,000 ($0.04 per share as adjusted) gain from non-taxable life insurance
proceeds due to the death of the Company's Chairman of the Board on August 18,
1993.

The effective tax rate decreased to 41.2% for the fiscal year
ended February 28, 1994 as compared to 42.8% in the prior fiscal year, due to
non-taxable life insurance proceeds partially offset by an increase in income
tax rates.

11
13
Net earnings increased 60.2% to $16.8 million in the fiscal year
ended February 28, 1994 from $10.5 million in the prior fiscal year as a result
of the factors discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the year ended February 28, 1995 the Company generated cash
from operating activities of $13.1 million. Such cash was principally from net
earnings and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by
inventory increases of $18.6 million. The increase in inventory is primarily the
result of stocking more basic inventory to fill EDI orders resulting from
increased demand for the Anchor group of Nautica products and to fill orders for
shipments to be made in the future. During the year ended February 28, 1994 the
Company generated cash from operating activities of $17.5 million. Such cash was
principally from net earnings.

During the year ended February 28, 1995 the Company's principal
investing activities related to the continued expansion of Nautica's in-store
shop program. The Company expects to continue to incur capital expenditures to
promote the expansion of the Nautica in-store shop program. In addition, the
Company is expanding its warehouse and distribution facilities in Rockland,
Maine at an expected cost of approximately $15.0 million. The Company will
utilize its existing cash and lines of credit during construction and will
finance the project at its completion.

The Company has $60.0 million in lines of credit with two
commercial banks available for short-term borrowings and letters of credit.
These lines are collateralized by wholesale inventory and accounts receivable.
At February 28, 1995 letters of credit outstanding under the lines were $28.3
million and there were no short-term borrowings outstanding.

The Company anticipates that internally generated funds from
operations, existing cash balances and the Company's existing credit lines will
be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements.

CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS AND INFLATION

The Company purchases its products from manufacturers located
primarily in the Far East. These purchases are denominated in United States
dollars. The Company believes that, to date, the effect of fluctuations of the
dollar against foreign currencies has not had a material effect on the cost of
imports or the Company's results of operations. However, there can be no
assurance that purchase prices for the Company's products will not be affected
by future fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and
the local currencies of these manufacturers. Due to the number of currencies
involved, the Company cannot quantify the potential effect of such future
fluctuations on future income. The Company does not engage in hedging activities
with respect to such exchange rate risk.

The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on
the cost of imports or the Company's results of operations.

Nautica Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

February 28, 1995, 1994 and 1993

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nautica Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") and Subsidiaries are principally
engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of men's apparel.

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

1. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount
approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those
instruments.

3. Revenue Recognition

Revenue within wholesale operations is recognized at the time
merchandise is shipped to customers. Retail store revenues are
recognized at the time of sale.

4. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method for wholesale
inventories and by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method for retail
inventories.

5. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation for
financial statement purposes is provided principally by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Improvements to leased premises are amortized over the shorter of the
useful lives of the improvements or the life of the related lease.

6. Excess of Cost Over Net Assets Acquired

The excess of cost over net assets acquired is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over a forty-year period. Accumulated amortization
at February 28, 1995 and February 28, 1994 was $364,430 and $314,710,
respectively.

The Company defers certain design charges that relate to goods to be
sold in future selling seasons. Such charges are charged to expense in
the season the goods relate to.

9. Income Taxes

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries file a consolidated
Federal income tax return. Deferred income taxes payable arise as a
result of differences between financial statement and income tax
reporting.

10. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the year giving retroactive effect
to the stock splits as described in Note H. Stock options are included
in the calculation, when they are dilutive.

Inventories valued using the LIFO method comprised 85% and 75% of
consolidated inventories before LIFO adjustment at February 28, 1995 and
February 28, 1994, respectively. The FIFO earnings are presented in order to
provide a basis for comparison to the operating results of those companies
within the industry which do not use the LIFO method. Had the Company
utilized the FIFO method of accounting for inventory, inventories would have
been higher by $3,268,309, $4,101,208 and $3,592,057 at February 28, 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. Earnings before provision for income taxes would
have been lower by $832,899 at February 28, 1995, higher by $509,151 at
February 28, 1994 and higher by $418,855 at February 28, 1993. Net earnings

On April 18, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock
split of the Company's common stock to be effected in the form of a stock
dividend payable on July 6, 1995 to stockholders of record on May 5, 1995.
The stock split is subject to stockholder approval of the Certificate of
Incorporation amendment authorizing an increase in the number of shares of
common stock from 20,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares. An amount equal to
par value of the shares of common stock to be issued was transferred from
additional paid-in capital to the common stock account. All prior year stock
options and per share disclosures have been restated to reflect the stock
split.

On December 23, 1993, the Company and certain selling stockholders sold an
aggregate of 3,084,300 shares of common stock of the Company (including a
portion of the underwriters' overallotment option). The Company did not
receive any of the proceeds of the 695,422 shares sold by the selling
stockholders. The net proceeds of the offering to the Company were
approximately $32,600,000 after deducting underwriting commissions and direct
offering costs. The offering costs were borne entirely by the Company.

On October 21, 1993, the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two split of
the Company's common stock effected in the form of a stock dividend.

The Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Board of
Directors to issue Preferred Stock, from time to time, in one or more series,
with such voting powers, designations, preferences, and relative,
participating, optional, conversion or other special rights, and such
qualifications, limitations and restrictions, as the Board of Directors may,

(now deceased) of the Company (the principal stockholders), which
provides, upon the death of any of the aforementioned stockholders, and
at the request of their respective estates, that the Company will

also provides, as soon after the death of the stockholder as is practicable
and upon the request of the estate of the deceased stockholder, for the
filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for an offering of the shares of common stock, if any, not
purchased by the Company.

Due to the death of the former chairman of the board of the Company in

proceeds in the amount of $825,556 ($.04 per share). The repurchase
obligation relating to shares owned by the former chairman of the board of

Revenue Code over (B) the value on the date of the Change of Control Event
of non-cash benefits as defined in the agreement. At February 28, 1995, the
maximum amount payable, applicable to three individuals, would be
approximately $8,777,000.

5. Other

business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of all such
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit, on open
account, to its retail store customers, after a credit analysis based on a
number of financial and other criteria. Dillard Department Stores, Inc. and
May Department Stores Company accounted for approximately 17% and 17%,

cumulative effect of an accounting change.

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes reflect the net
effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and

NOTE O - STOCK OPTION PLAN AND OPTION AGREEMENT

On June 28, 1984, the Company adopted an Executive Incentive Stock Option
Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides that the Board of Directors may grant
options to officers and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to
purchase up to 1,603,125 shares of the Company's common stock. The Plan
expires in 2001, and options shall not be granted after that date. Under the
Plan, each optionee must remain in the continuous employment of the Company
for at least one year from the date of grant before he can exercise any part
of the options. The exercise price covered by each option is 100% of the fair
market value of the common stock at the time of granting the option. In the
event, at the time the option is granted, the employee shall own (either in
his own name or by attribution) shares constituting in excess of 10 percent
of the outstanding shares of the Company, then the exercise price shall be
110% of the fair market value at the time of granting the option. The options
are exercisable on a cumulative basis at the annual rate of 20% of the total
number of shares covered by the option for a period not exceeding ten years.

On June 29, 1989, the Company adopted the Nautica Enterprises, Inc. 1989
Employee Incentive Stock Plan (the "1989 Plan"; the 1989 Plan and the Plan
