                         Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
Unzipped Apparel LLC

We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheets of Unzipped  Apparel LLC as of
January 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related  statements of  operations,  members'
(deficit)  equity and cash flows for each of the three years then  ended.  These
financial  statements are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the  financial  position of Unzipped  Apparel LLC as of
January 31, 2002 and 2001,  and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Unzipped Apparel LLC, a Delaware limited  liability  company (the Company),  was
formed on September 17, 1998, between Sweet Sportswear,  LLC (Sweet) and Michael
Caruso & Co., Inc. (Caruso),  a subsidiary of Candie's,  Inc.  (Candie's),  both
owning 50% interest, to contract,  produce,  distribute and market products with
the Candie's and Bongo  trademarks.  The Company  entered into an agreement (the
Operating Agreement) with Sweet and Caruso, and obtained an exclusive license to
use the trademarks  effective  September 17, 1998. The Company is dependent upon
Azteca  Production  International  (Azteca) to provide working capital  funding,
certain  management  services as well as the production of substantially  all of
its goods. The Company's LLC agreement specifies that the Company will terminate
on December 31, 2020,  unless  terminated  earlier  based on  provisions  in the
Operating Agreement.  The Company's Operating Agreement provides for a mandatory
sale of Sweet's  interest in the Company to Candie's on January 31, 2003.  Under
the  Company's  LLC  agreement,  profits  and losses are  allocated  and cash is
distributed  equally  according  to  each  member's  ownership  interest  in the
Company.

During the year ended  January 31,  2000,  the Company  terminated  its Candie's
apparel division as well as the Caruso license for Candie's apparel products.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recorded, net of anticipated returns,  allowances and discounts, at
the time of shipment of merchandise.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company outsources  distribution services to a related party. Costs relating
to shipping and handling of approximately $1,873,000,  $2,043,000 and $2,194,000
for the years ended  January 31, 2002,  2001 and 2000,  respectively,  have been
recorded as a component of operating expenses.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally  accepted in the United States  requires  management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Advertising Costs

The  Company  expenses  advertising  costs as  incurred.  The amount  charged to
advertising  expense during the years ended January 31, 2002,  2001 and 2000 was
approximately $1,247,000, $1,287,000 and $1,054,000, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories  are  stated at the lower of cost  (first-in,  first-out  method) or
market and consist exclusively of finished goods.

Property and Equipment

Property  and  equipment  is recorded  at cost.  Depreciation  of  property  and
equipment  is  being  provided  by use  of the  straight-line  method  over  the
estimated  useful  lives of the assets  which  range from three to seven  years.
Leasehold  improvements  are amortized using the  straight-line  method over the
lesser of their  estimated  useful lives or the term of the lease.  Property and
equipment includes capital lease obligations which are by their terms equivalent
to purchase agreements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less when purchased.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes

No provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for federal,
state or local taxes of the members.  The members are  individually  responsible
for reporting  their share of each item of income,  gain,  loss,  deduction,  or
credit.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial  instruments which potentially  expose the Company to concentration of
credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, nonfactored accounts
receivable  and amounts due from the  factor.  In order to minimize  the risk of
loss, the Company assigns  substantially all accounts receivable to a factor who
assumes all credit risk with respect to collections on nonrecourse  receivables.
The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers.

Significant Customers

One customer  accounted  for 11%, 16% and 16% of gross sales for the years ended
January 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Two other customers accounted for
11% and 10% of gross sales for the year ended January 31, 2000.

Long-Lived Assets

In March 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
121,  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121), which requires  impairment  losses to be recorded
on  long-lived  assets used in operations  when  indications  of impairment  are
present and the  undiscounted  cash flows  estimated  to be  generated  by those
assets are less than the assets' carrying  amount.  In such cases, the amount of
the  impairment  is to be  determined  based on the  relative  fair value of the
impaired assets. SFAS 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets to
be disposed  of. At January 31,  2002,  the Company  believes  there has been no
impairment of the value of such assets.

2. Due from Factor

The Company has a factoring agreement with CIT Group/Commercial  Services,  Inc.
(CIT). The Company assigns to CIT, without recourse for the financial  inability
of the  customer  to pay at  maturity,  all  trade  receivables  of the  Company
acceptable to CIT at their net invoice price less a commission of  approximately
0.4% of the gross amount of each receivable for the first 60-day term.  Extended
terms  approved by CIT beyond 60 days require an additional  25% increase on the
factor  commission  for each  additional 30 days or portion  thereof of extended
terms or additional  dating. The Company bears the entire risk of collection for
nonapproved  receivables and accounts  receivable  returned by the factor to the
Company for  disputed  items.  The factor  agreement  had an initial term of two
years, renewable annually unless terminated by either party.

3. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of the following:

4. Debt

Revolving Credit Agreement

The Company has a credit facility with Congress Financial Corporation (Congress)
which expires on September 30, 2002. Under the facility as amended,  the Company
may borrow up to $15,000,000  under revolving  loans.  Borrowings are limited by
advance rates against eligible accounts  receivable and inventory  balances,  as
defined. Under the facility, the Company may also arrange for letters of credit.
The  borrowings  bear interest at the lender's  prime rate or at a rate of 2.25%
per annum in excess of the Eurodollar rate.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


4. Debt (continued)

Revolving Credit Agreement (continued)

Borrowings under the facility are secured by substantially  all of the assets of
the Company and are  guaranteed by the  Chairman/Manager  of the Company and his
family trust, with such guarantee being limited to $500,000.

At January 31, 2002, no additional funds were available to be borrowed under the
revolving credit agreement.

The facility requires the Company to be in compliance with certain financial and
nonfinancial  covenants. At January 31, 2002, the Company was required to have a
minimum  members' equity balance of $750,000.  The Company obtained an amendment
to the facility dated March 15, 2002,  under which the minimum  members'  equity
balance was waived for the period from  November 1, 2001  through  February  28,
2002. In consideration  for the amendment,  Azteca agreed to increase the amount
of the subordinated loan from $3,500,000 to $5,000,000.  For covenant  purposes,
the  subordinated  note  payable is  considered  to be a  component  of members'
equity.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company  occupies its office and showroom  facilities  in New York City in a
location  leased by Caruso.  The Company pays monthly rent pursuant to the terms
of the Caruso  lease and  remits  payments  directly  to the  lessor.  The lease
expires on July 31, 2003.

In addition to the lease  referred to above,  in April 1999,  the Company and an
affiliated company of Candie's entered into a noncancelable lease for additional
office and  showroom  space which  expires  March 2003 (see Note 6). The Company
also occupies space leased to Azteca and receives an allocated charge related to
such space.

Total rent expense  charged to operations  for the years ended January 31, 2002,
2001  and  2000  aggregated  approximately  $150,000,   $155,000  and  $273,000,
respectively.

6. Related Party Transactions

The Company has a supply  agreement  with Azteca for the exclusive  development,
manufacturing,  and supply of certain products  bearing the Bongo trademark.  As
consideration  for the  development  of the  products,  the Company  pays Azteca
pursuant to a separate pricing  schedule.  The Company  purchases  products from
Azteca at a price which generally approximates Azteca's cost plus 7%. The supply
agreement  was  consummated  upon the Company's  formation  and extends  through

7. Termination of Candie's Apparel Division

During the year ended January 31, 2000, the Company's members committed to close
its Candie's  apparel  division.  In  connection  with the closure,  the Company
wrote-off  approximately  $368,000 of leasehold improvements and other equipment
which was abandoned when the Company ceased using its showroom.

Candie's  has  taken  title  to  the  leasehold  improvements  and  assumed  the
obligation of the showroom and various office equipment contained therein.

Additionally,  in connection with the termination of the Candie's division,  the
Company  recorded  a  reserve  for  obsolete  and   discontinued   inventory  of
approximately  $458,000  and an allowance  for  customer  credits and returns of
approximately $245,000.  These amounts are included in the cost of goods and net
sales  components of the  statement of  operations,  respectively,  for the year
ended January 31, 2000.

8. Events Subsequent to Date of Report of Independent Auditors (Unaudited)

On April 23,  2002,  Candies  purchased  Sweet's 50%  interest in the Company in
exchange for  3,000,000  shares of Candies'  common  stock and $11.0  million of
Candies redeemable preferred stock.

(b).  Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

Introduction

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated  financial statements give effect
to the acquisition by Candie's Inc.  ("Candie's") in April 2002 of the remaining
50% of Unzipped Apparel LLC ("Unzipped") that it did not own, under the purchase
method of accounting.  These pro forma statements are presented for illustrative
purpose only. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and
certain  assumptions  that  management  believes are  reasonable.  The pro forma
consolidated  financial  statements do not purport to represent what the results
of operations of Candie's  would  actually have been if the  acquisition  had in
fact  occurred  on such date,  nor do they  purport to  project  the  results of
operations of Candie's for any future period.

Under the purchase method of accounting,  tangible and  identifiable  intangible
assets  acquired and  liabilities  assumed are recorded at their  estimated fair
values. The excess of the purchase price,  including estimated fees and expenses
related to the acquisition,  over the net assets acquired has been classified as
goodwill.  The  estimated  fair values and useful  lives of assets  acquired and
liabilities  assumed  are based on a  preliminary  valuation  and are subject to
final valuation adjustments which may cause certain identified intangibles to be
amortized as opposed to  goodwill,  which has not been  amortized in  accordance
with FAS 142.

The unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the quarter ended April 30,
2002 and the year ended January 31, 2002 were prepared by combining Candie's and
Unzipped's statements of operations for the periods then ended, giving effect to
the acquisition as though it had occurred on February 1, 2001.

The consolidated  historical  financial  statements of Candie's are derived from
the  consolidated  financial  statements  included in Candie's Form 10-K for the
year ended  January 31, 2002 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2002.
The  historical  financial  statement of Unzipped for the year ended January 31,
2002 is derived from  Unzipped's  financial  statements  included herein and the
historical  financial statement of Unzipped for the quarter ended April 30, 2002
is derived from unaudited financial statements not included herein.

A pro forma balance sheet has not been presented herein since the effects of the
acquisition have been included in Candie's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April
30, 2002.
