MOVIE STAR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated condensed
unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of December 31, 2002 and the results of operations for the
interim periods presented and cash flows for the three and six months ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The consolidated condensed financial statements and notes are presented as
required by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in
the Company's year-end consolidated financial statements. The year-end
consolidated condensed balance sheet was derived from the Company's audited
financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six
months ended December 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year. This Form 10-Q should be read in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes
included in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reclassification - Certain items in the prior year in specific captions of
the accompanying consolidated condensed unaudited financial statements and
notes to consolidated condensed unaudited financial statements have been
reclassified for comparative purposes.

2. Recent Accounting Standards

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." SFAS No. 145 rescinds the provisions of SFAS No. 4 that
requires companies to classify certain gains and losses from debt
extinguishments as extraordinary items, eliminates the provisions of SFAS
No. 44 regarding the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 and amends the provisions of
SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications be treated as sale
leaseback transactions. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the
classification of debt extinguishment are effective for fiscal years
beginning after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 does not have an
impact on the Company's financial position.

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting
for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," replacing Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146
requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized when the liability is incurred instead of at the
date an entity commits to an exit plan. This statement also established
that fair value is the objective for the initial measurement of the
liability. SFAS No. 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities
that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect
that adopting this statement will have a material impact on its financial
position or the results of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that upon

7


issuance of a guarantee, a guarantor must recognize a liability for the
fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires
additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The
recognition provisions of FIN 45 will be effective for any guarantees that
are issued or modified after December 15, 2002. The disclosure requirements
are effective for the Company's current quarter. Adopting this statement
does not have an impact on its financial position or the results of
operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for
a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent and more
frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of
stock-based compensation. The Company has not yet determined the effect of
the adoption of this statement on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

4. As of June 30, 2001, the Company renegotiated its revolving credit facility
to provide borrowings of up to $30,000,000 until its maturity date, July 1,
2004. Due to a recent amendment, effective November 7, 2002, the interest
on outstanding borrowings is payable at the prime rate, but not less than
4.25% per annum. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had borrowings of
$6,155,000 outstanding under the credit facility and also had approximately
$6,154,000 of outstanding letters of credit. Availability under the line of
credit is subject to the Company's compliance with certain agreed upon
financial formulas. Availability, as of December 31, 2002, was
approximately $4,800,000. Under the terms of this financing, the Company
has agreed to pledge substantially all of its assets, except the Company's
real property.


5. On September 4, 2001, the Company paid its 8% Senior Notes of $2,284,000 at
maturity and its 12.875% Subordinated Debentures of $4,180,000 one-month
early utilizing its three-year credit facility. Additionally, in July 2001,
holders of $55,500 in principal amount of the 8% Convertible Senior Notes
converted their Notes into approximately 148,000 shares of the Company's
common stock.

non-operating facilities for $729,000. No gain or loss was recognized
during the period. As of December 31, 2001, there were no remaining
accruals relating to severance and other employee benefits and exit costs.


8. In December 2000, the Company decided to shutdown the retail segment and
discontinued all operations in March 2001. Accordingly, the operating

9. Subsequent Events

Subsequent to December 31, 2002, the Company and Mr. Knigin, the Company's
CEO and President, finalized their negotiations regarding an extension of
Mr. Knigin's employment agreement, which was to expire on June 30, 2004.
Under the terms of the extended agreement, Mr. Knigin is to receive total
base compensation of $2,625,000 over the five-year term of the agreement,
effective as of July 1, 2002 and continuing through June 30, 2007. Mr.
Knigin may also be entitled to certain severance payments at the conclusion
of the term of his agreement, provided the Company attains specified
financial performance goals.

On January 28, 2003, Mr. Knigin voluntarily surrendered and forfeited his
options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par
value $.01 and relinquished any further rights he may have had under the
existing option agreements, which have now been terminated.

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company and Mark M. David, Chairman of the
Board, have renegotiated Mr. David's consulting agreement with the Company
that was to expire on June 30, 2004. The new agreement is with Mr. David's
consulting firm, BENJAM Consulting, LLC. Under the terms of the new
agreement, BENJAM Consulting, LLC will provide the consulting services of
Mr. David to the Company and will receive annual consulting fees of
$225,000 through June 30 2007.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements with
respect to anticipated results, which are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially are: business conditions and growth in the Company's industry;
general economic conditions; the addition or loss of significant customers; the
loss of key personnel; product development; competition; foreign government
regulations; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; rising costs of
raw materials and the unavailability of sources of supply; the timing of orders
placed by the Company's customers; and the risk factors listed from time to time
in the Company's SEC reports .

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
- ------------------------------------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires the appropriate
application of certain accounting policies, many of which require estimates and
assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in the
financial statements and related notes. Since future events and their impact
cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ
from our estimates. Such differences could be material to the consolidated
financial statements.

Management believes the application of accounting policies, and the estimates
inherently required by the policies, are reasonable. These accounting policies
and estimates are constantly re-evaluated, and adjustments are made when facts
and circumstances dictate a change. Historically, management has found the
application of its accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results
generally have not materially differed from those determined using the necessary
estimates.

Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements, located in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management has identified certain
critical accounting policies that are described below.

Inventory - Inventory is carried on a first-in, first-out basis at the lower of
cost or market. Management writes down inventory for estimated obsolescence or
unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and
the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market
conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected
by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Allowance for doubtful accounts/sales discounts and sales returns - The Company
maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from
the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial
condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of
their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The
Company also estimates expenses for customer discounts, programs and incentive
offerings. If market conditions were to decline, the Company may take actions to
increase customer incentive offerings possibly resulting in an incremental
expense at the time the incentive is offered.

Long-lived assets - In the evaluation of the fair value and future benefits of
long-lived assets, management performs an analysis of the anticipated
undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived assets. If the
carrying value of the related asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, the
carrying value is reduced to its fair value. Various factors including future

11


sales growth and profit margins are included in this analysis. To the extent
these future projections or our strategies change, the conclusion regarding
impairment may differ from the current estimates.

Deferred tax valuation allowance - In assessing the need for a deferred tax
valuation allowance, we consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent and
feasible tax planning strategies. Since we were able to determine that we would
be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, in excess of its
recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset was not deemed
necessary. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize
all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the
deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination
was made.

Results of Continuing Operations
- --------------------------------

Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2002 increased $1,479,000 to
$16,689,000 from $15,210,000 in the comparable period in 2001. Net sales for the
six months ended December 31, 2002 increased $2,348,000 to $32,469,000 from
$30,121,000 in the comparable period in 2001. The increase in sales was due
primarily to an improvement in most product areas and distribution channels.

The gross profit percentage increased to 31.5% for the three months ended
December 31, 2002 from 29.3% in the similar period in 2001. The gross profit
percentage increased to 30.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2002 from
28.6% in the similar period in 2001. The higher margins resulted primarily from
better sourcing and greater efficiencies.

As a result of the West Coast dock strike, the Company incurred additional
expenses related to the air shipment of goods that would normally have been
carried via water at a significantly lower cost basis. These goods were shipped
by air to meet customer deliveries for the holiday season. The Company was
successful in delivering the majority of its goods on time and did not incur any
significant canceled orders due to the late delivery of goods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,893,000, or 23.3% of net
sales for the three months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $3,575,000,
or 23.5% of net sales for the similar period in 2001. This increase of $318,000
resulted from an increase in salary related expenses, merchandising and design
expenses, samples, rent, bad debts and by a general overall net increase in
other selling, general and administrative expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7,362,000, or 22.7% of net
sales for the six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $7,025,000, or
23.3% of net sales for the similar period in 2001. This increase of $337,000
resulted primarily in the second quarter as described above.

Income from continuing operations increased to $1,370,000 and $2,587,000 for the
three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $886,000 and
$1,586,000 for the similar periods in 2001. This increase was due to higher
sales and margins partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative
expenses.

Interest expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 was
$119,000 and $221,000 respectively, as compared to $228,000 and $501,000 for the
similar periods in 2001. These reductions were due to lower borrowing levels and
interest rates.

12


The Company provided for income taxes of $501,000 and $947,000 for the three and
six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to income taxes of $264,000 and
$434,000 for the similar periods in 2001. The Company utilized an estimated
income tax rate of 40% in all of the periods.


Results of Discontinued Operations
- ----------------------------------

In December 2000, the Company decided to dispose of the majority of the assets
of its retail division. Accordingly, the operating results of this division are
classified as discontinued operations.

The discontinued operation had no activity for the three months ended December
31, 2002 and 2001.

There was no activity for the six months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to
income from discontinued operations of $43,000 for the six months ended December
31, 2001. The income in the 2001 period relates to the sale of certain assets
that were fully depreciated.

Net Income
- ----------

The Company had net income of $751,000 and $1,421,000 for the three and six
months ended December 31, 2002 respectively, as compared to $395,000 and
$696,000 for the similar periods in 2001. These increases were due to higher
sales and gross margins and lower interest costs partially offset by higher
selling general and administrative expenses and a larger provision for income
taxes in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

For the six months ended December 31, 2002, the Company's working capital
increased by $1,471,000 to $11,000,000, primarily from profitable operations.

During the six months ended December 31, 2002, cash decreased by $47,000. The
Company used cash of $1,914,000 in its operations, $136,000 for the purchase of
fixed assets and $23,000 for the payment of capital lease obligations. The net
proceeds from short-term borrowings of $2,026,000 funded these activities.

Receivables at December 31, 2002 increased by $3,419,000 to $10,420,000 from
$7,001,000 at June 30, 2002. This increase is due to higher sales for the
quarter ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2002.

Inventory at December 31, 2002 increased by $891,000 to $9,688,000 from
$8,797,000 at June 30, 2002. This increase is primarily due to an increase in
the volume of cut, make and trim production, which requires the purchase of raw
materials.

The Company has a secured revolving line of credit of up to $30,000,000. The
revolving line of credit expires July 1, 2004 and is sufficient for the
Company's projected needs for operating capital and letters of credit to fund
the purchase of imported goods through July 1, 2004. Due to a recent amendment,
effective November 7, 2002, direct borrowings under this line bear interest at
the prime rate of Chase Manhattan Bank, but not less than 4.25% per annum.
Availability under the line of credit is subject to the Company's compliance
with certain agreed upon financial formulas. Under the terms of this financing,
the Company has agreed to pledge substantially all of its assets, except the
Company's real property. At February 3, 2003, the Company had $6,611,000 in
borrowings outstanding.

Management believes the available borrowing under its secured revolving line of
credit, along with anticipated internally generated funds, will be sufficient to
cover its working capital requirements through July 1, 2004.

The Company anticipates that capital expenditures for fiscal 2003 will be less
than $300,000.

Recent Accounting Standards
- ---------------------------

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections."
SFAS No. 145 rescinds the provisions of SFAS No. 4 that requires companies to
classify certain gains and losses from debt extinguishments as extraordinary
items, eliminates the provisions of SFAS No. 44 regarding the Motor Carrier Act
of 1980 and amends the provisions of SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease
modifications be treated as sale leaseback transactions. The provisions of SFAS
No. 145 related to the classification of debt extinguishment are effective for
fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 does not

14


have an impact on the Company's financial position.

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," replacing Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for
a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the
liability is incurred instead of at the date an entity commits to an exit plan.
This statement also established that fair value is the objective for the initial
measurement of the liability. SFAS No. 146 will be effective for exit or
disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does
not expect that adopting this statement will have a material impact on its
financial position or the results of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that upon
issuance of a guarantee, a guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair
value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires
additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The
recognition provisions of FIN 45 will be effective for any guarantees that are
issued or modified after December 15, 2002. The disclosure requirements are
effective for the Company's current quarter. Adopting this statement does not
have an impact on its financial position or the results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a
voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent and more frequent
disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based
compensation. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of
this statement on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Inflation
- ---------

The Company does not believe that its operating results have been materially
affected by inflation during the preceding three years. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company's operating results will not be affected by
inflation in the future.


Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- ----------------------------------------------------------

The Company is subject to changes in the prime rate based on the Federal Reserve
actions and general market interest fluctuations. The Company believes that
moderate interest rate increases will not have a material adverse impact on its
results of operations, or financial position, in the foreseeable future. For the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, borrowings peaked during the year at
$15,783,000 and the average amount of borrowings was $7,806,000.

Imports
- -------

The Company's transactions with its foreign manufacturers and suppliers
are subject to the risks of doing business abroad. The Company's import and

15


offshore operations are subject to constraints imposed by agreements between the
United States and a number of foreign countries in which the Company does
business. These agreements impose quotas on the amount and type of goods that
can be imported into the United States from these countries. Such agreements
also allow the United States to impose, at any time, restraints on the
importation of categories of merchandise that, under the terms of the
agreements, are not subject to specified limits. The Company's imported products
are also subject to United States customs duties and, in the ordinary course of
business, the Company is from time to time subject to claims by the United
States Customs Service for duties and other charges. The United States and other
countries in which the Company's products are manufactured may, from time to
time, impose new quotas, duties, tariffs or other restrictions, or adversely
adjust presently prevailing quotas, duty or tariff levels, which could adversely
affect the Company's operations and its ability to continue to import products
at current or increased levels. The Company cannot predict the likelihood or
frequency of any such events occurring.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures
- -----------------------

Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation of
the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures was made
under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that
evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there were no significant changes in
the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect these controls, including any corrective actions with regard to
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
