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


1.     INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


       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 Company's
       financial position as of December 31, 2005 and the results of operations
       and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
       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 financial statements.
       The June 30, 2005 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, 2005 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
       financial statements and notes included in the 2005 Annual Report on
       Form 10-K.

2.     STOCK OPTIONS

       Previously, pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
       "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," the Company accounted for
       stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the intrinsic
       value method. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recorded in the
       financial statements with respect to option grants, since the options
       were granted at/or above market value.

       Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised
       2004), "Share Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R"), which eliminates the
       use of APB 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and
       requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received
       in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date
       fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. The Company
       has adopted the modified prospective method whereby compensation cost
       is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective
       date based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based
       payments granted after that date and for all unvested awards granted
       prior to that date.

       Had the Company elected to recognize compensation expense for
       stock-based compensation using the fair value method, net income
       (loss), basic and diluted net income (loss) per share would have been
       as follows:

       Per share amounts may not add due to rounding.

       During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company granted options
       to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock under the 1988 Stock Option
       Plan at an exercise price of $1.45 per share. The Company also granted
       options to purchase 48,000 shares of common stock under the 2000
       Performance Equity Plan at an exercise price of $1.36 per share. The fair
       value of the options-pricing model was calculated with the following
       weighted-average assumptions used for the grant: risk-free interest rate
       4%; expected life 7 years; expected volatility 36%. The fair value
       generated by the Black-Scholes model may not be indicative of the future
       benefit, if any, that may be received by the option holder. There were no
       options granted in the three and six months ended December 31, 2005.

6.     NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

       Basic net income (loss) per share has been computed by dividing the
       applicable net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares
       outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share has been computed by
       dividing the applicable net income (loss) by the weighted average number
       of shares outstanding and common equivalents. The Company's calculation
       of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows (in thousands,
       except per share amounts):

7.     ACQUISITION

       On August 3, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of certain
       assets of Sidney Bernstein & Son Lingerie, Inc. ("SB&S"), a New York
       based company engaged in the design, marketing and sale of women's
       lingerie and related apparel accessories, pursuant to an Asset Purchase
       Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2004. The transaction allows the Company
       to expand its offerings, as well as diversify its sales distribution.

       The assets were purchased for an aggregate price of $3,379,000. The
       Company also assumed $3,012,000 of SB&S' open purchase orders and
       received $7,408,000 of open customer orders. Pursuant to the Asset
       Purchase Agreement, the Company had also agreed to pay up to an
       additional $1,000,000 in the aggregate based upon certain gross profit
       levels generated by the Company's newly-established Sidney Bernstein &
       Son Division during the next three fiscal years (see below).

       The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting
       and the acquisition consideration was allocated among the tangible and
       intangible assets in accordance with their estimated fair value on the
       date of acquisition. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill will be
       subject to impairment testing at least annually. The results of
       operations of SB&S since August 3, 2004, are included in the Company's




                                       9




       consolidated statement of operations. The total amount of goodwill is
       expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisition
       consideration and allocation of that consideration are as follows:

                                                               ===========

       On August 3, 2004, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
       Daniel Bernstein, a former employee of SB&S, which was to expire on June
       30, 2007. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Bernstein was to receive a base
       compensation of $350,000 annually plus commission based on formulas, as
       defined, in the agreement. In addition, the Company was to issue Mr.
       Bernstein options to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock under the
       Company's 2000 Performance Equity Plan in both fiscal 2005 and 2006.

       Effective June 10, 2005, Mr. Bernstein terminated his employment
       agreement with the Company. In addition, due to Mr. Bernstein's
       termination, he is no longer entitled to be issued options and the
       Company is no longer required to pay up to an additional $1,000,000 under
       the Asset Purchase Agreement.


8.     CLOSING OF DISTRIBUTION FACILITY

       During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded facility
       closing costs of $108,000, which includes severance and related salary
       and benefit costs of $58,000, relating to a plan to close the
       distribution facility in Petersburg, Pennsylvania. The action was taken
       by the Company to enhance the Company's competitiveness, to reduce
       expenses and to improve efficiencies. During fiscal 2005, the Company
       reclassified certain property and equipment at its Petersburg,
       Pennsylvania facility to assets held for sale, as the Company expects to
       sell this facility in fiscal 2006. In connection with the Company's plan
       of disposal, management estimates that they will not incur a loss in
       liquidating these assets. As of December 31, 2005, the remaining accrued
       closing costs are $90,000, which includes severance and related salary
       and benefit costs of $48,000.

       The Company's distribution center in Poplarville, Mississippi was forced
       to close from August 29, 2005 to September 6, 2005 as a result of
       hurricane Katrina. Because some of the Company's employees were unable to
       return to work, the facility operated at less than full capacity until
       the middle of October 2005. In an effort to reduce the impact of this
       problem, the Company diverted some of its incoming inventory to a public
       warehouse operation in Los Angeles, California and to its Petersburg,
       Pennsylvania distribution facility. As a result, the Petersburg
       distribution facility was reopened on a temporary basis to assist with
       shipping the Company's finished goods to its customers until December 31,
       2005.

When used in this Form 10-Q and in future filings by the Company with the
Commission, the words or phrases "will likely result," "management expects" or
"the Company expects," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimated" or similar
expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the

forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or
circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause

raw materials and the unavailability of sources of supply; and the timing of
orders placed by the Company's customers.

OVERVIEW
--------

The intimate apparel business is a highly competitive industry. The industry is
characterized by a large number of small companies selling unbranded
merchandise, and by several large companies that have developed widespread
consumer recognition of the brand names associated with merchandise sold by
these companies. In addition, retailers to whom we sell our products have sought
to expand the development and marketing of their own brands and to obtain
intimate apparel products directly from the same sources from which we obtain
our products.

The intimate apparel business for the department stores, specialty stores and
regional chains is divided into five selling seasons per year. We create a new
line of products that represent our own brand name "Cinema Etoile" for each
selling season. Our brand name does not have widespread consumer recognition,
although it is well known by our customers. We sell our brand name products
primarily during these selling seasons. We also develop specific products for
some of our larger accounts, mass merchandisers and national chains, and make
between five and eight presentations throughout the year to these accounts. We
do not have long-term contracts with any of our customers and therefore our
business is subject to unpredictable increases and decreases in sales depending
upon the size and number of orders that we receive each time we present our
products to our customers.

On August 3, 2004, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Sidney
Bernstein & Son Lingerie, Inc. ("SB&S"), a company engaged in the design,
marketing and sale of women's lingerie and related apparel accessories. This
transaction has allowed us to expand our product offerings, as well as diversify
and broaden our sales distribution.



                                       11




During fiscal 2005 and 2004, we experienced a significant reduction in sales
that was primarily the result of receiving fewer orders from some of our larger
customers. However, we do not believe that this is a permanent trend and these
larger customers continue to welcome us to present our products to them. Absent
the addition of the SB&S division, the dollar volume of orders shipped in fiscal
2005 would have been lower than in fiscal 2004.

Hurricane Katrina impacted our business operations during the quarter ended
September 30, 2005 and to a lesser extent the quarter ended December 31, 2005.
Our distribution center in Poplarville, Mississippi was forced to close from
August 29th to September 6th as a result of the hurricane. Operations at the
Poplarville distribution center resumed once power was restored to the facility
on September 6th. Because some of our employees were unable to return to work,
the facility operated at less than full capacity until the middle of October. In
our effort to reduce the impact of this problem, we diverted some of our
incoming inventory to a public warehouse operation in Los Angeles, California
and to our Petersburg, Pennsylvania distribution center, which we closed during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. We reopened this facility until December 31,
2005 to assist with shipping our goods to customers. However, notwithstanding
our best efforts, some orders were delayed and were shipped in the second
quarter of fiscal 2006 instead of the first quarter. We are also working with
our insurance companies to minimize the financial impact of this occurrence. As
of the date of this report, even though we have not fully determined the
financial impact caused by the hurricane, we do not anticipate the unrecoverable
portion of the damage to have a material impact on our results of operation.

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 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 accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results
generally do not differ materially from those determined using necessary
estimates.

Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2005. Management has identified certain critical accounting policies
that are described below.

Inventory - Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market on a first-in,
first-out basis. 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 - Management 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. Management also
estimates allowances for





                                       12




     customer discounts, orders and incentive offerings. If market conditions
     were to decline, management may take actions to increase customer incentive
     offerings possibly resulting in an incremental allowance at the time the
     incentive is offered.

     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 should be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, a
     deferred tax asset valuation allowance 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.

     The following table shows each specified item as a dollar amount and as a
     percentage of net sales in each fiscal period, and should be read in
     conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere
     in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (in thousands, except for
     percentages):

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     ---------------------

     Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2005 decreased $5,123,000
     to $17,867,000 from $22,990,000 in the comparable period in 2004. Net sales
     for the six months ended December 31, 2005 decreased $4,316,000 to
     $31,504,000 from $35,820,000 in the comparable period in 2004. The SB&S
     division accounted for $4,051,000 and $8,071,000 of the sales for the three
     and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, as compared to
     $4,100,000 and $7,219,000 for the same periods in the prior year. Absent
     sales from the SB&S division, we had sales of $13,816,000 and $23,433,000
     for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, as
     compared to sales of $18,890,000 and $28,601,000 in the same periods in the
     prior year. The reduction in sales for the second quarter and for the six
     months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily due to the shipment of a
     $7,150,000 low margin order in the prior year's second quarter which we
     declined to bid on in the current year. This reduction was partially offset
     by six months of shipping for the SB&S division in the current year as
     compared to five months in the prior year and an increase in orders with
     other customers. While business remains challenging for the remainder of
     fiscal 2006 the initial indications are very positive for our business
     outlook for the first half of fiscal 2007.


                                       13



     The gross profit percentage increased to 29.6% and 28.5% for the three and
     six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively from 21.9% and 24.7% in
     the same periods in the prior year. The higher overall margin resulted
     primarily from not having the large low margin order that we shipped in the
     second quarter of fiscal 2005, partially offset by additional costs due to
     hurricane Katrina.

     The large low margin order that we shipped in the second quarter of fiscal
     2005 was approximately $7,150,000. This order was for one major retailer
     and the expected gross margin was considerably lower than Movie Star's
     regular business. The costs to prepare this order for shipment were
     significantly higher than we originally estimated. In addition, a
     significant portion of the merchandise arrived late at our distribution
     centers from India and, in some cases, to meet the delivery dates of our
     customer, goods were shipped via air at a much higher cost. We also
     incurred additional costs to prepare the goods for shipment to our
     customer.

     As a result of differences between the accounting policies of companies in
     the industry relating to whether certain items of expense are included in
     cost of sales rather than recorded as selling expenses, the reported gross
     profits of different companies, including our own, may not be directly
     compared. For example, we record the costs of preparing merchandise for
     shipment, including warehousing costs and shipping and handling costs, as a
     selling expense, rather than a cost of sale. Therefore, our gross profit is
     higher than it would be if such costs were included in cost of sales.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,097,000, or 22.9% of
     net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to
     $5,030,000, or 21.9% of net sales for the similar period in 2004. This
     decrease of $933,000 resulted from a decrease in salary expense and salary
     related costs of $297,000, shipping expense and shipping related costs of
     $218,000, samples and design related costs of $125,000, outbound freight
     expense of $110,000 and consulting fees of $51,000 as well as a net overall
     reduction in other selling, general and administrative expenses. The
     decrease in salary expense and salary related costs was the result of a
     reduction in personnel. The decrease in shipping expense is primarily the
     result of lower sales and not having the SB&S distribution center in the
     current year. The decrease in samples and design related costs was the
     result of utilizing more of our internal staff in the current year as well
     as not having the start up sample and design related costs for the
     Maidenform line that we incurred in the prior year. The decrease in
     outbound freight expense was due to the expediting of the previously
     discussed large low margin order in the prior year.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $8,312,000, or 26.4% of
     net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to
     $9,211,000, or 25.7% of net sales for the similar period in 2004. This
     decrease of $899,000 resulted from a decrease in salary expense and salary
     related costs of $353,000, shipping expense and shipping related costs of
     $231,000, samples and design related costs of $196,000, consulting fees of
     $93,000 and outbound freight expense of $89,000, partially offset by a net
     overall increase in other selling general and administrative expenses of
     which royalty expenses increased $73,000. The decreases in salary expense,
     shipping expense, samples and outbound freight were for the same reasons
     described above. The decrease in consulting fees is related to the
     termination of our prior Chairman's services in connection with our
     consulting agreement with him. The increase in royalty expense was
     primarily due to the Maidenform license agreement.

     We recorded income from operations of $1,184,000 and $682,000 for the three
     and six months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to a breakeven from
     operations and a loss from operations of $351,000 for the same three and
     six month periods in the prior year. This improvement was due to higher
     gross margins and lower selling, general and administrative expenses
     partially offset by lower sales.



                                       14



     Interest expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005
     increased to $167,000 and $284,000 as compared to $124,000 and $157,000 in
     the comparable period in 2004, respectively. These increases were due
     primarily to higher interest rates and higher borrowing levels.

     We recorded a provision for income taxes of $407,000 and $159,000 for the
     three and six months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to an income tax
     benefit of $49,000 and $203,000 for the same periods in the prior year,
     respectively. We utilized an estimated income tax rate of 40% in all
     periods.

     NET INCOME (LOSS)
     -----------------

     We had net income of $610,000 and $239,000 for the three and six months
     ended December 31, 2005 as compared to a net loss of $75,000 and $305,000
     for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. This improvement was
     due to higher gross margins and lower selling, general and administrative
     expenses partially offset by a decrease in sales, an increase in interest
     expense and a provision for income taxes in the current year as compared to
     an income tax benefit in the prior year.

     debt or operating our business. We do not have any arrangements or
     relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial
     statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or
     the availability of capital resources.



                                       15



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

For the six months ended December 31, 2005, our working capital increased by
$379,000 to $11,052,000, primarily due to our income from operations.

For the six months ended December 31, 2005, cash increased by $94,000 to
$272,000 from $178,000 at June 30, 2005. We used $2,058,000 of cash in our
operations and $80,000 for the purchase of fixed assets. Net proceeds of
$2,224,000 from short-term borrowings primarily funded these activities.

Receivables, net of allowances, at December 31, 2005 increased to $10,377,000
from $5,973,000 at June 30, 2005. This increase is due to higher sales in the
quarter ended December 31, 2005 as compared to sales for the quarter ended June
30, 2005.

Inventory at December 31, 2005 decreased to $7,233,000 from $11,730,000 at June
30, 2005. This decrease in finished goods and raw material is due to normal
inventory fluctuations.

Effective July 1, 2005, we renewed our revolving line of credit of up to
$20,000,000. The line of credit expires June 30, 2006 and is sufficient for our
projected needs for operating capital and letters of credit to fund the purchase
of imported goods through June 30, 2006. Direct borrowings under this credit
line bear interest at the prime rate less three quarters of one percent per
annum. Availability under the line of credit is subject to the Company's
compliance with certain agreed upon financial formulas. We were in compliance at
December 31, 2005. This line of credit is secured by substantially all of our
assets. We believe the available borrowing under our secured revolving line of
credit, along with anticipated internally generated funds, will be sufficient to
cover our working capital requirements through July 1, 2006.

We anticipate that capital expenditures for fiscal 2006 will be less than
$700,000.

EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
----------------------------------

There were no recently issued accounting standards that we believe will have a
material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

INFLATION
---------

We do not believe that our operating results have been materially affected by
inflation during the preceding three years. There can be no assurance, however,
that our operating results will not be affected by inflation in the future.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to changes in the prime rate based on the Federal Reserve actions
and general market interest fluctuations. We believe that moderate interest rate
increases will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations,
or financial position, in the foreseeable future. For the six months ended
December 31, 2005, borrowings peaked during the period at $12,613,000 and the
average amount of borrowings was $9,436,000.



                                       16




IMPORTS
-------

Transactions with our foreign manufacturers and suppliers are subject to
the risks of doing business abroad. Our import and offshore operations are
subject to constraints imposed by agreements between the United States and a
number of foreign countries in which we do 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.
Our imported products are also subject to United States customs duties and, in
the ordinary course of business, we are 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 our 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 our operations and our ability to continue to import products at current
or increased levels. We cannot predict the likelihood or frequency of any such
events occurring.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures as of December 31, 2005 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, they 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. During the most recently completed fiscal
quarter, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over
financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
