REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To JLM Couture, Inc.


We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet of JLM Couture, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2004, and
the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-
month and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-
month periods ending July 31, 2004 and 2003. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of
interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the condensed consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with United States generally accepted accounting
principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the consolidated balance
sheet as of October 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements
of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated January 21,
2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31,
2003 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it is derived.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation


The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2004,
the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and
nine month periods ended July 31, 2004 and 2003 and the condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods
ended July 31, 2004 and 2003 have been prepared by the Company,
without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows, as of July 31, 2004 and for all periods
presented have been made. The results of operations are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted. It is suggested
that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form
10-K/A for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, which was filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Sales for the three and nine month period ended July 31, 2003,
have been reclassified to include shipping charges billed to
customers.

The Company has elected to apply Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations in accounting for its stock options issued to
employees (intrinsic value) and has adopted the disclosure-only
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Had the Company
elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the
options granted at the grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the
Company's net income and income per common share would have been as
follows:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, net sales and expenses, and the related disclosures.
We base our estimates on historical experience, our knowledge of
economic and market factors and various other assumptions that we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies are
affected by significant estimates, assumptions and judgments used in
the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.


Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for losses that
we estimate will arise from our customers' inability to make required
payments. We make our estimates of the uncollectability of our
accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts, specific
customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. The allowance
for doubtful accounts was $301,000 at July 31, 2004 and October 31,
2003.


Inventory Valuation

We regularly assess the valuation of our inventories and write
down those inventories which are obsolete or in excess of our
forecasted usage to their estimated realizable value. Our estimates
of realizable value are based upon our analyses and assumptions
including, but not limited to, forecasted sales levels by product,
expected product lifecycle, product development plans and future
demand requirements. If market conditions are less favorable than
our forecasts or actual demand


JLM COUTURE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


from our customers is lower than our estimates, we may be required to
record additional inventory write-downs. If demand is higher than
expected, we may sell our inventories that had previously been
written down. At July 31, 2004 and October 31, 2003 we maintained an
obsolescence reserve of $150,000.


Impairment of Goodwill

In determining the recoverability of goodwill, assumptions must
be made regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to
determine the fair value of the asset. If these estimates or their
related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required
to record charges not previously recorded. Effective November 1,
2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Under the
provisions of SFAS No. 142, the cost of certain intangibles will no
longer be subject to amortization but was reviewed for potential
impairment during the first nine months of Fiscal 2004 and on an
annual basis thereafter. The Company concluded, as of July 31, 2004,
that there was no impairment to goodwill, and, pursuant to SFAS 142,
goodwill is no longer being amortized.


Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, the product has been delivered, the rights and risks of
ownership have passed to the customer, the price is fixed and
determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is
reasonably assured. For arrangements which include customer
acceptance provisions, revenue is not recognized until the terms of
acceptance are met. Reserves for sales returns and allowances are
estimated and provided for at the time revenue is recognized.
JLM COUTURE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.


Results of Operations

Nine months ended July 31, 2004 as compared to nine months ended
July 31, 2003.

For the first nine months of the Company's fiscal year ending
October 31, 2004 ("Fiscal 2004"), revenues decreased to $19,960,405
from $21,523,459, a decrease of 7% over the same period a year ago.
The Company believes the decrease was due to reduced demand for the
Company's products in the current economic environment as there is a
nationwide trend towards simpler weddings. In addition, the temporary
increase in the number of weddings subsequent to September 11, 2001
has subsided. Also, brides-to-be purchase their wedding gowns 10 to
12 months in advance of their wedding. As such, the decrease in
sales is reflective of the slower economy of one year ago. Gross
profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 39% from 42%. The lower
margin was a result of the current year's product mix which included
a higher percentage of lower margin bridesmaids' gowns as compared to
last year when the Company sold more bridal gowns. This product mix
reduced gross margin by 2%. Additionally, despite the reduced sales
level, production salaries and other costs were $250,000 higher than
last year as the Company added a new designer and associated staff in
the latter part of Fiscal 2003. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $6,795,323, a reduction of $356,700 from last year's
$7,152,023, primarily due to a charge of $250,000 options in the
prior period as well as reduced promotional spending in the current
period.

For three months ended July 31, 2004 as compared to three months
ended July 31, 2003.

For the quarter ended July 31, 2004 ("Fiscal 2004"), revenues
decreased to $6,954,600 from $7,847,951, a decrease of 11% over the
same period a year ago. This decrease was due to reduced demand for
the Company's products in the current economic environment as there
is a nationwide trend towards simpler weddings. In addition, the
temporary increase in the



JLM COUTURE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
(Continued)

number of weddings subsequent to September 11, 2001 has subsided.
Also, brides-to-be purchase their wedding gowns 10 to 12 months in
advance of their wedding. As such, the decrease in sales is
reflecting of the slower economy of one year ago. Gross profit as a
percentage of sales decreased to 38% from 42%. The lower margin was a
result of the current year's product mix which included a higher
percentage of lower margin bridesmaids gowns as compared to last year
when the Company sold more bridal gowns. This product mix reduced
gross margin by 3%. Additionally, despite the reduced sales level,
production salaries and other costs were $100,000 higher than last
year as the Company added a new designer and associated staff in the
latter part of Fiscal 2003. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $2,375,905, a reduction of $89,577 from $2,465,482 in
the second quarter of Fiscal 2003 primarily due to reduced
promotional spending.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital increased to $8,014,327 at July
31, 2004 from $7,210,049 at October 31, 2003. This increase was due
primarily to the net income for the period as adjusted for non cash
charges to income such as depreciation and amortization of property
and equipment and deferred compensation.

During the nine months ended July 31, 2004, the Company used
$640,544 for operations as compared to $161,845 of cash in the year
earlier primarily due to the decrease in net income. Cash provided
by investing activities was $10,932 in the current period compared to
cash used of $160,270 a year earlier. Last year, the Company
expanded its production facilities and the change is primarily due to
the purchase of property and equipment for the expansion in the prior
period. The Company did not use any cash for financing activities in
the current nine month period, as compared to last year when the
Company repurchased $214,261 of treasury stock.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk.

Not applicable.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company maintains "disclosure controls and procedures," as
such term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in its reports, pursuant to the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to its management, including its Chief Executive Officer
and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding the required disclosures. In designing and
evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management has
recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of
achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily
is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting
Officer (its principal executive officer and principal accounting
officer, respectively) have evaluated the effectiveness of its
