Donnkenny, Inc. Discontinues Use of Justwin.

Business Editors

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2003

Donnkenny, Inc. (OTC BB: DNKY) reported yesterday it has discontinued using Justwin Technologies' software products following a failed, two year implementation process. Donnkenny is seeking arbitration to recoup some of the Company's costs.

Donnkenny has reported the Justwin product was not able to meet its advertised functional claims, including those of incorporating diverse forms of information (digital images, text documents, spreadsheets, etc.) seamlessly into a multi-divisional, high volume operation. The product also was unable to deliver the business-critical, multi-dimensional workflow that was crucial to Donnkenny's original purchase decision. Donnkenny found that the Justwin implementation was never successful enough to interface with the Company's existing production systems or stable enough to use for purchase orders to control the Company's samples, trim and materials, as promised. Additionally, several vendor-supplied and installed patches over a series of months were unable to correct these mounting problems.

Donnkenny, Inc. designs, manufactures, imports and markets a broad line of moderately priced women's sportswear. The Company's major labels include Pierre Cardin(R), Harve Benard(R), Donnkenny(R), Casey & Max(R), Victoria Jones(R), and Ann Travis(R).
