EXHIBIT A TO PART III 

       The form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 of Bolle Inc. (the
"Company"), could not be filed within the prescribed time without unreasonable  
effort and expense primarily due to the combination of the following            
circumstances:                                                                  

              (i) On July 10, 1997, the Company acquired all of the issued and
        outstanding share capital of Holding B.F., a corporation governed by
          the laws of France ("Bolle France") together with certain interests in
         its subsidiaries and affiliates, pursuant to terms of the Amended and
        Restated Share Purchase Agreement (the "Share Purchase"), dated July
        9, 1997. As a result of the acquisition of Bolle France, the Company
   requires additional time to fully integrate and consolidate the
    accounting information of Bolle France with that of the Company.

            (ii) On March 11, 1998, BEC Group, Inc. (i) transferred to its
       subsidiary, Bolle Inc. ("Bolle"), all of its assets and liabilities
other than those specifically relating to the conduct of the
        Company's specialty lighting, electronic, and electroformed products
        businesses and certain additional assets and liabilities retained by
       the Company and (ii) distributed, pro rata, to its stockholders all
      of its equity interest in Bolle (collectively, the "Spinoff"). The
 recent consummation of the Spinoff, did not allow the Company
        sufficient time to make the required adjustments to its December 31,
1997 year-ended financial statements.
