PERRY ELLIS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Perry Ellis International, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Perry Ellis” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows required by GAAP. These consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006.

The information presented reflects all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments -an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” which simplifies accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and eliminates a restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have no impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” which establishes, among other things, the accounting for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities by requiring that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have no impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which establishes that the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, from the adoption of FIN 48.

5. ADVERTISING AND RELATED COSTS

The Company’s accounting policy relating to advertising and related costs is to expense these costs in the period incurred. Advertising and related costs were approximately $4.3 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $10.4 million and $9.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

6. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. This Statement establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R on February 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application option. As a result, the compensation cost for the portion of awards granted before February 1, 2006 for which the requisite service had not been rendered and that were outstanding as of February 1, 2006 will be recognized as the remaining requisite service is rendered. In addition, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R has required the Company to change from recognizing the effect of forfeitures as they occur to estimating the number of outstanding instruments for which the requisite service is not expected to be

rendered. The Company is also required to change the amortization period for employees eligible to retire from the period over which the awards vest to the period from the grant date to the date the employee is eligible to retire.

For the three months ended July 31, 2006, approximately $0.2 million ($0.02 per fully diluted share) and $26,800 in compensation expense has been recognized in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations related to stock options and restricted stock, respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2006, approximately $0.4 million ($0.04 per fully diluted share) and $46,800 in compensation expense has been recognized in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to stock options and restricted stock, respectively. Compensation expense for these awards is based on the fair value at the original grant date. Pro forma information under SFAS No. 123R regarding stock option grants made for periods prior to fiscal 2007 is presented below:

In 1993, the Company adopted the 1993 Stock Option Plan (the “1993 Plan”), which was amended in 1998 and 1999 to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder. As amended, the 1993 Plan authorized the Company to grant stock options (“Option” or “Options”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In 2002, prior to the termination of the 1993 Plan in 2003, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”). The 2002 Plan was amended in 2003 to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder, among other changes. As amended, the 2002 Plan allows the Company to grant Options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In 2005, the Company adopted the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2005 Plan”, and collectively with the 1993 Plan and the 2002 Plan, the “Stock Option Plans”). The 2005 Plan allows the Company to grant Options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, reduced by any awards outstanding under the 2002 Plan. All Stock Option Plans were designed to serve as an incentive for attracting and retaining qualified and competent employees, directors, consultants, and independent contractors of the Company.

The 2005 Plan provides for the granting of Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options. An Incentive Stock Option is an option to purchase common stock, which meets the requirements as set forth under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 422”). A Nonstatutory Stock Option is an option to purchase common stock, which meets the requirements of the 2005 Plan, but does not meet the definition of an “incentive stock option” under Section 422.

Table of Contents

The 2005 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), which is comprised of two or more non-employee directors. The Committee determines the participants, the allotment of shares, and the term of the Options. The Committee also determines the exercise price of the Options; provided, however that the per share exercise price of Options granted under the 2005 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% shareholder, the per share exercise price will not be less than 110% of such fair market value.

The following table lists information regarding shares under the 1993 Plan, 2002 Plan and 2005 Plan as of July 31, 2006:

Restricted Stock – Under the 2005 Plan, restricted stock awards shall be granted subject to restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose, or as otherwise provided in the 2005 Plan, covering a period of time specified by the Committee. The terms of any restricted stock award granted under the 2005 Plan shall be set forth in a written Award Agreement which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with the 2005 Plan. The restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine at the date of grant or thereafter. Except to the extent restricted under the terms of the 2005 Plan and any Award Agreement relating to a restricted stock award, a participant granted restricted stock shall have all of the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the restricted stock and the right to receive dividends thereon (subject to any mandatory reinvestment or other requirement imposed by the Committee). During the Restriction Period (as defined in the 2005 Plan), the restricted stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, margined or otherwise encumbered by the participant.

During fiscal 2007, the Company awarded one employee 5,000 shares of restricted stock, which vest over a five year period. The total fair value of the restricted shares amounted to approximately $130,000. During fiscal 2006, the Company awarded four employees an aggregate of 16,500 shares of restricted stock, which vest over a four year period. The total fair value of the restricted shares amounted to approximately $358,000. These amounts are being amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period. The fair value of restricted stock grants is estimated on the date of grant and is generally equal to the closing stock price of the Company on the date of grant.

The fair value of stock option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on certain assumptions including: expected volatility based on the historical price of the Company’s common stock over the expected life of the option; the risk free rate of return based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option; the expected life based on the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding using historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination; and dividend yield based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payments. The pro forma weighted average fair value of options granted during the six months ended July 31, 2006 was $16.29 per share based on a risk-free interest rate of 4.5%, an expected life of ten years, expected volatility of 58.7% and no expected dividends.

7. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average shares of outstanding common stock. The calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator includes potentially dilutive common stock. The potentially dilutive common stock included in the Company’s computation of diluted net (loss) income per share includes the effects of stock options as determined using the treasury stock method.

8. COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME

Comprehensive (loss) income is comprised of net operating results and the effect of foreign currency translation reflected in stockholders’ equity. Comprehensive (loss) income was ($2.4) million and ($3.1) million for the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively and $4.0 million and $5.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” our principal business segments are grouped into the generation of revenues from sale of products and royalties from licensing activity. These segments are identified and managed by the Company based on the products and services offered by each. The product segment derives its revenues from the design, importation and distribution of apparel to various retail channels, which include department stores, national and regional chain stores, mass merchants, specialty stores, sporting goods stores, green grass golf shops, the corporate incentive market, as well as clubs, and independent retailers in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. The licensing segment derives its revenues from royalties associated with the licensing of its trademarks to third parties, principally Perry Ellis®, Jantzen®, John Henry®, Manhattan®, and Munsingwear®. Trademark costs have been allocated among the segments where the brands are shared. Shared selling, general and administrative expenses are allocated amongst the segments based upon department utilization rates.

11. $57 MILLION SENIOR SECURED NOTES PAYABLE

In March 2002, the Company issued $57.0 million 9 1/2% senior secured notes due March 15, 2009. On March 15, 2006, the Company exercised the call provision of the $57.0 million 9 1/2% senior secured notes. The call provision permitted the notes to be redeemed at a premium of 102.375%, and in connection with this transaction, the Company incurred cost on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, including call premium costs, write-off of bond issue costs and costs associated with the termination of derivatives related to the senior secured notes.

12. REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE

During June 2006, the Company entered into a mortgage loan for $15 million secured by its Tampa facility. The loan is due on June 7, 2016. Principal and interest of $297,000 are due quarterly based on a 20 year amortization with the outstanding principal due at maturity. Interest is set at 6.25% for the first five years, at which point it will be reset based on the terms and conditions of the promissory note.

13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company had entered into derivative financial instruments in order to manage the overall borrowing costs associated with its senior secured notes.

Derivatives on $57 million senior secured notes payable

The Company had an interest rate swap and option (the “$57 million Swap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $57 million in order to manage the overall borrowing costs associated with its 9 1/2% senior secured notes. In March 2006, the Company terminated the $57 million Swap Agreement. See footnote 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. The $57 million Swap Agreement was a fair value hedge as it was designated against the 9 1/2% senior secured notes carrying a fixed rate of interest and converted such notes to variable rate debt. The $57 million Swap Agreement was reflected at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding offset to the designated item. The fair value of the $57 million Swap Agreement recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet was $0.5 million as of January 31, 2006.

The Company also had an interest rate cap agreement (the “$57 million Cap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $57 million associated with the 9 1/2% senior secured notes. In March 2006, the Company terminated the $57 million Cap Agreement. See footnote 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. The $57 million Cap Agreement capped the interest rate on the 9 1/2% senior secured notes at 10%. The $57 million Cap Agreement did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, resulting in a $0 and $30,000 decrease of recorded interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2006, respectively and an $18,000 decrease and $31,000 increase of recorded interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2005, respectively. The fair value of the $57 million Cap Agreement recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was ($0.6 million) as of January 31, 2006.

Other

The Company does not currently have a significant exposure to foreign exchange risk and accordingly, has not entered into any transactions to hedge against those risks.

14. CONSOLIDATING CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Perry Ellis International, Inc. and several of its subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the senior subordinated notes on a joint and several basis. As such, the following consolidating condensed financial statements, which present, in separate columns: Perry Ellis, the guarantors on a combined basis and the non-guarantors on a combined basis are required to be presented. Additional columns present eliminating adjustments and consolidated totals as of July 31, 2006 and January 31, 2006, and for the three and six months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005. The Company has not presented separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the combined guarantors because management has determined that such information is not material to investors.

We caution readers that this report includes “forward-looking statements” as that term is used in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations rather than historical facts and they are indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “envision,” “continue,” target,” “contemplate,” or “will” and similar words or phrases or corporate terminology. We have based such forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond our control.

Some of the factors that could affect our financial performance, cause actual results to differ from our estimates, or underlie such forward-looking statements, are set forth in various places in this report. These factors include, but are not limited to:

 

    general economic conditions,

 

    a significant decrease in business from or loss of any of our major customers or programs,

 

    anticipated and unanticipated trends and conditions in our industry, including the impact of recent or future retail and wholesale consolidation,

 

    the effectiveness of our planned advertising, marketing and promotional campaigns,

 

    our ability to contain costs,

 

    disruptions in the supply chain,

 

    our future capital needs and our ability to obtain financing,

 

    our ability to integrate acquired businesses, trademarks, tradenames and licenses,

 

    our ability to predict consumer preferences and changes in fashion trends and consumer acceptance of both new designs and newly introduced products,

 

    the termination or non-renewal of any material license agreements to which we are a party,

Critical Accounting Policies

Included in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006 is a summary of all significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We follow the accounting methods and practices as required by Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In particular, our critical accounting policies and areas we use judgment in are the areas of revenue recognition, the estimated collectability of accounts receivable, the recoverability of obsolete or overstocked inventory, the impairment on long-lived assets which are our trademarks, the carrying value of our deferred tax accounts, and the calculation of our pension obligation.

Revenue Recognition. Sales are recognized at the time legal title to the product passes to the customer, generally FOB Perry Ellis’ distribution facilities, net of trade allowances and a provision for estimated returns and other allowances. Royalty income is recognized when earned on the basis of the terms specified in the underlying contractual agreements. We believe that our revenue recognition policies conform to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.

Accounts Receivable. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and an allowance for estimated trade discounts, co-op advertising, allowances provided to retail customers to flow goods through the retail channel, and losses resulting from the inability of our retail customers to make required payments considering historical and anticipated trends.

Inventories. Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. We evaluate all of our inventory style-size-color stock keeping units, or SKUs, to determine excess or slow-moving SKUs based on orders on hand and projections of future demand and market conditions. For those units in inventory that are so identified, we estimate their market value or net sales value based on current realization trends. If the projected net sales value is less than cost, on an individual SKU basis, we write down inventory to reflect the lower value. This methodology recognizes projected inventory losses at the time such losses are evident rather than at the time goods are actually sold.

Intangible Assets. We have, at the present time, only one class of indefinite lived assets, trademarks. We review our intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for possible impairments on an annual basis in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and perform impairment testing as of February 1st of each year by among other things, obtaining independent third party valuations. We evaluate the “fair value” of our identifiable intangible assets for purposes of recognition and measurement of impairment losses. Evaluating indefinite useful life assets for impairment involves certain judgments and estimates, including the interpretation of current economic indicators and market valuations, and our strategic plans with regard to our operations, historical and anticipated performance of our operations and other factors. If we incorrectly anticipate these trends or unexpected events occur, our results of operations could be materially affected.

Table of Contents

Deferred Taxes. We account for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded, if required, to reduce deferred tax assets to that portion which is expected to more likely than not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods prior to the expiration of the related net operating losses. If our estimates and assumptions about future taxable income are not appropriate, the value of our deferred tax asset may not be recoverable.

Retirement-Related Benefits. The pension obligations related to our defined benefit pension plans are developed from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions, including the discount rate, expected return of plan assets, future compensation increases, and other factors, which are updated on an annual basis. Management is required to consider current market conditions, including changes in interest rates, in making these assumptions. Actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods, and therefore, generally affect the recognized pension expense or benefit and our pension obligation in future periods. The fair value of plan assets is based on the performance of the financial markets, particularly the equity markets. Therefore, the market value of the plan assets can change dramatically in a relatively short period of time. Additionally, the measurement of the plan’s benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, if the equity market declines and/or interest rates decrease, the plan’s estimated accumulated benefit obligation could exceed the fair value of the plan assets and therefore, we would be required to establish an additional minimum liability, which would result in a reduction in shareholder’s equity for the amount of the shortfall. For fiscal 2006, we did not record an additional minimum pension liability calculated under the provisions of SFAS No. 87.

Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the three and six months periods in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2007 (“fiscal 2007”) compared with the three and six months periods in the second quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 (“fiscal 2006”).

Results of Operations - three and six months ended July 31, 2006 compared to three and six months ended July 31, 2005.

Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2006 were $165.7 million, a decrease of $18.6 million, or 10.1%, from $184.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily a result of our previously announced reductions of private label and branded programs at a national mid-tier chain, the impact of Federated Department Stores door closures due to the May Company merger integration and a reduction in off price sales versus last fiscal year, offset by organic sales growth.

Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2006 were $374.0 million, a decrease of $30.7 million, or 7.6%, from $404.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily a result of our previously announced reductions of private label and branded programs at a national mid-tier chain and the impact of Federated Department Stores door closures due to the May Company merger integration, offset by organic sales growth.

Royalty income. Royalty income for the three months ended July 31, 2006 was $5.3 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 7.0%, from $5.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2005. The decrease was due primarily to lower sales by our fragrance licensee. Royalty income for the six months ended July 31, 2006 was $11.1 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 1.8%, from $10.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2005. The increase was due primarily to our addition of the Gotcha trademarks, as well as an increase in royalty income from the Farah and Savane licenses, offset by lower fragrance royalties.

Gross profit. Gross profit was $53.8 million for the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005. Gross profit was $124.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2006, as compared to $126.8 million for six months ended July 31, 2005, a decrease of 2.0%.

As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit margins were 31.5% for the three months ended July 31, 2006, as compared to 28.3% for the three months ended July 31, 2005, an increase of 320 basis points. As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit margins were 32.3% for the six months ended July 31, 2006, as compared to 30.5% for the six months ended July 31, 2005, an increase of 180 basis points. The improvement in the gross profit percentage came from improved wholesale margins, particularly Perry Ellis Sportswear, swimwear, international, and direct to consumer retail.

Wholesale gross profit margins (which exclude the impact of royalty income) increased for the three months ended July 31, 2006 to 29.3%, as compared to 26.2% for the three months ended July 31, 2005. The wholesale gross profit margin percentage increased for the six months ended July 31, 2006, to 30.3%, as compared to 28.6% for the six months ended July 31, 2005. As described above, the increase came as a result of improved gross profit margin across several businesses, and strong retail sell-through performance which lowered our end of season clearance/markdown support and decreased off price sales, as a result of better inventory planning and improved sourcing costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, were $50.0 million. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 29.2% for the three months ended July 31, 2006, as compared to 26.3% for the three months ended July 31, 2005. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, on a percentage basis, is attributed to startup costs incurred related to our expansion in direct to consumer retail, our wholesale expansion of Penguin in Europe and initial costs associated with the establishment of our Seattle based outwear and JAG swimwear operations, offset by efficiencies in distribution and planned reductions in other selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include approximately $207,000 or $0.02 per fully diluted share, related to stock option compensation expense as a result of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) and the introduction in our Long-Term Incentive Compensation plan of restricted shares.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2006, were $99.8 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 1.3%, from $101.1 million for the six months ended July 31, 2005. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, on a dollar basis, is attributed to the factors described above. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 25.9% for the six months ended July 31, 2006, as compared to 24.3% for the six months ended July 31, 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include approximately $425,000 or $0.04 per fully diluted share, related to stock option compensation expense as a result of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) and the introduction in our Long-Term Incentive Compensation plan of restricted shares.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended July 31, 2006 was $2.8 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 27.2%, from $2.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2005. Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended July 31, 2006, was $5.5 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 22.2%, from $4.5 million for the six months ended July 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to an increase in property and equipment purchased during the second half of fiscal 2006 and the first half of fiscal 2007.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2006, was $4.8 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 11.1%, from $5.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2005. Interest expense for the six months ended July 31, 2006, was $ 10.7 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.9%, from $10.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2005. The overall decrease in interest expense is

 

20


Table of Contents

primarily attributable to the decrease in borrowings under our senior credit facility and the elimination of the senior secured notes payable during the first quarter of Fiscal 2007. The overall decrease was offset by increased interest expense primarily attributable to the impact of the elimination of the interest rate swaps on our senior subordinated notes and the increase in prime and LIBOR rates during the first half of fiscal 2007 as compared to the first half of fiscal 2006.

Cost on early extinguishment of debt. We incurred debt extinguishment costs of approximately $3.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, including call premium costs, write-off of bond issue costs and costs associated with the termination of derivatives related to our 9 1/2% senior secured notes on March 15, 2006.

Income taxes. Income tax benefit for the three months ended July 31, 2006, was $1.3 million, a $0.2 million decrease as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2005. For the three months ended July 31, 2006, our effective tax rate was 36.2% as compared to 40.2% for the three months ended July 31, 2005. Our income tax provision for the six months ended July 31, 2006, was $1.9 million, a $1.7 million decrease as compared to $3.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2005. For the six months ended July 31, 2006, our effective tax rate was 34.1% as compared to 34.2% for the six months ended July 31, 2005. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective tax rate in the three and six month periods was due to a lower tax rate experienced by our international operations.

Net (loss) income. The net loss for the three months ended July 31, 2006 was ($2.5) million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 4.2%, as compared to the net loss of ($2.4) million for the three months ended July 31, 2005. Net income for the six months ended July 31, 2006, was $3.5 million, a decrease of $3.0 million, or 46.2%, as compared to net income of $6.5 million for the six months ended July 31, 2005. The changes in operating results were due to the items described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We rely primarily upon cash flow from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facility and letter of credit facilities to finance our operations, acquisitions and capital expenditures. We believe that as a result of the growth in our business, our working capital requirements will increase in the last half of the fiscal year, particularly during our fourth quarter as a result of planned increases in sales. As of July 31, 2006, our total working capital was $185.9 million as compared to $228.5 million as of January 31, 2006. We believe that our cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our senior credit facility and letter of credit facilities are sufficient to meet our working capital needs. We also believe that our real estate assets which have a net book value of $29 million at July 31, 2006, have a substantially higher market value of approximately $50 million. These real estate assets provide us with additional capital resources. Additional borrowings against these real estate assets, however would be subject to certain loan to value criteria established by lending institutions. Previously, we obtained mortgage loans on two of these properties which have a total balance of $12.4 million at July 31, 2006. In June 2006, we obtained an additional $15 million mortgage loan on our Tampa facility. The proceeds from this mortgage loan were used primarily for working capital requirements and to pay down our senior credit facility.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $52.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2006, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $41.1 million for the six months ended July 31, 2005. The increase of $11.6 million in the level of cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 31, 2006, as compared to the six months ended July 31, 2005, is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable of $46.2 million due to lower sales and stronger collection efforts, a decrease in inventory of $10.1 million, offset by the reduction of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the amount of $13.4 million, from the use of the proceeds of the new mortgage loan. For the six months ended July 31, 2005, inventory increased by $11.8 million due to the acceleration of purchases during the second quarter in order to avoid potential product embargoes during the last half of the year.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2006, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $86.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2005. The net cash used during the first half of Fiscal 2007 primarily reflects the purchase of intangibles, property and equipment in the amount of $5.8 million, as compared to net cash used during Fiscal 2006 for the purchase of Tropical in the amount of $79.8 million and additions to property and equipment in the amount of $6.6 million.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2006, was $49.6 million, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2005 of $50.6 million. The net cash used during the first half of Fiscal 2007 primarily reflects the net payments on our senior credit facility of $6.4 million, as well as payments of $58.4 million to extinguish our senior secured notes and $0.6 million in connection with the termination of the swap agreements. The use of cash was off set by our Tampa facility real estate mortgage loan proceeds of $14.8 million, as well as proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.2 million. The net cash provided during the first half of Fiscal 2006 primarily reflects the net borrowings on our senior credit facility of $50.8 million, which were used primarily for the Tropical acquisition, as well as proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options of $1.1 million, offset by the payments of $1.2 million in connection with the termination of the swap agreements.

Senior Credit Facility

On February 24, 2006, we amended the senior credit facility to allow the borrowing base to be increased in accordance with specific terms noted in the credit facility agreement and to release any liens on trademarks. Subsequently, on August 28, 2006, we amended the senior credit facility to extend the maturity to January 1, 2008.

The following is a description of the terms of the senior credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association, as amended and does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the senior credit facility: (i) the line is up to $175 million; (ii) the inventory borrowing limit is $90 million; (iii) the sublimit for letters of credit is up to $60 million; (iv) the amount of letter of credit facilities available outside of the facility is $100 million and (v) the outstanding balance is due at the maturity date of January 1, 2008.

Certain Covenants. The senior credit facility contains certain covenants, which, among other things, requires us to maintain a minimum EBITDA if availability falls below a certain minimum. It may restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances, redeem or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, or sell assets. We are prohibited from paying cash dividends under these covenants. We are currently in compliance with all of our covenants under the senior credit facility. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants as the lenders under the senior credit facility could declare all amounts outstanding thereunder, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. If we are unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against our assets. In addition, a violation could also constitute a cross-default under the indenture and mortgage, resulting in all of our debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy.

Borrowing Base. Borrowings under the senior credit facility are limited under its terms to a borrowing base calculation, which generally restricts the outstanding balances to the lesser of either (1) the sum of (a) 85.0% of eligible receivables plus (b) 85.0% of our eligible factored accounts receivables up to $50.0 million plus (c) the lesser of (i) the inventory loan limit, or (ii) the lesser of (A) 65.0% of eligible finished goods inventory, or (B) 85.0% of the net recovery percentage (as defined in the senior credit facility) of eligible inventory, or (2) the loan limit; and in each case minus (x) 35.0% of the amount of outstanding letters of credit for eligible inventory, (y) the full amount of all other outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to the senior credit facility which are not fully secured by cash collateral, and (z) licensing reserves for which we are the licensee of certain branded products.

Table of Contents

Interest. Interest on the principal balance under the senior credit facility accrues, at our option, at either (a) our bank prime lending rate with adjustments depending upon our quarterly average excess availability plus excess cash or leverage ratio or (b) 1.60% above the rate quoted by our bank as the average Eurodollar Rate (“Eurodollar”) for 1-, 2-, 3- and 6-month Eurodollar deposits with 20 to 25 basis point adjustments depending upon our quarterly average excess availability plus excess cash and leverage ratio at the time of borrowing.

Security. As security for the indebtedness under the senior credit facility, we granted the lenders a first priority security interest in substantially all of our existing and future assets other than our trademark portfolio, including, without limitation, accounts receivable, inventory deposit accounts, general intangibles, equipment and capital stock or membership interests, as the case may be, of certain subsidiaries.

Letter of Credit Facilities

As of July 31, 2006, we maintained six U.S. dollar letter of credit facilities totaling $160 million, one letter of credit facility totaling $3.3 million utilized by our Canadian joint venture, and one letter of credit facility totaling $0.6 million utilized by our United Kingdom subsidiary. Each letter of credit is secured primarily by the consignment of merchandise in transit under that letter of credit and certain subordinated liens on our assets. As of July 31, 2006, there was $108.1 million available under existing letter of credit facilities.

$57 Million Senior Secured Notes Payable

In March 2002, we issued $57.0 million 9 1/2% senior secured notes due March 15, 2009. On March 15, 2006, we exercised the call provision of the $57.0 million 9 1/2% senior secured notes. The call provision permitted the notes to be redeemed at a premium of 102.375%, and in connection with this transaction, we incurred costs on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, including call premium costs, write-off of bond issue costs and costs associated with the termination of derivatives related to the senior secured notes.

$150 Million Senior Subordinated Notes Payable

In fiscal 2004, we issued $150 million 8 7/8% senior subordinated notes, due September 15, 2013. The proceeds of this offering were used to redeem previously issued $100 million 12 1/4% senior subordinated notes and to pay down the outstanding balance of the senior credit facility at that time. The proceeds to us were $146.8 million yielding an effective interest rate of 9.1%.

Certain Covenants. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes contains certain covenants which restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances, redeem or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, or sell assets. We are currently in compliance with all of the covenants in this indenture. We are prohibited from paying cash dividends under these covenants. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants because the indenture’s trustee could declare the outstanding notes, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. In addition, a violation could also constitute a cross-default under the senior credit facility, the letter of credit facilities, real estate mortgage and the indenture relating to our senior secured notes resulting in all of our debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy.

Real Estate Mortgages

In fiscal 2003, we acquired our main administrative office, warehouse and distribution facility in Miami and partially financed the acquisition of the facility with an $11.6 million mortgage. The real estate

mortgage contains certain covenants. We are currently in compliance with all of our covenants under the real estate mortgage. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants because the lender under the real estate mortgage could declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. In addition, a violation could constitute a cross-default under our senior credit facility, the letter of credit facilities, real estate mortgage and indenture relating to our senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes resulting in all our of debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy.

In October 2005, we acquired three administrative office units in a building in Beijing, China. The aggregate purchase price was $2.3 million, including closing costs. These purchases were partially financed with three variable interest mortgage loans totaling $1.2 million dollars in the aggregate. The mortgages mature on October 12, 2015. Interest rate is at prime.

In June 2006, we entered into a mortgage loan for $15 million secured by our Tampa facility. The loan is due on June 7, 2016. Principal and interest of $297,000 are due quarterly based on a 20 year amortization with the outstanding principal due at maturity. Interest is set at 6.25% for the first five years, at which point it will be reset based on the terms and conditions of the promissory note.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any “off-balance sheet arrangements” as defined by applicable SEC rules.

Effects of Inflation and Foreign Currency Fluctuations

We do not believe that inflation or foreign currency fluctuations significantly affected our results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2006.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

The market risk inherent in our financial statements represents the potential changes in the fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from changes in interest rates. We manage this exposure through regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Our policy allows the use of derivative financial instruments for identifiable market risk exposure, including interest rate. We do not enter into derivative financial contracts for trading or other speculative purposes except as discussed below.

Derivatives on $57 million senior secured notes payable

We had an interest rate swap and option (the “$57 million Swap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $57 million in order to manage the overall borrowing costs associated with our 9 1/2% senior secured notes. In March 2006, we terminated the $57 million Swap Agreement. See footnote 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. The $57 million Swap Agreement was a fair value hedge as it was designated against the 9 1/2% senior secured notes carrying a fixed rate of interest and converted such notes to variable rate debt. The $57 million Swap Agreement was reflected at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding offset to the designated item. The fair value of the $57 million Swap Agreement recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was $0.5 million as of January 31, 2006.

We also had an interest rate cap agreement (the “$57 million Cap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $57 million associated with the 9 1/2% senior secured notes. In March 2006, we terminated the $57 million Cap Agreement. See footnote 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. The $57 million Cap Agreement capped the interest rate on the senior secured notes at 10%. The $57 million Cap Agreement did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment,

resulting in a $0 and $30,000 decrease of recorded interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2006, respectively and an $18,000 decrease and $31,000 increase of recorded interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2005, respectively. The fair value of the $57 million Cap Agreement recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was ($586,000) as of January 31, 2006.

Other

Our current exposure to foreign exchange risk is not significant and accordingly, we have not entered into any transactions to hedge against those risks.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that both our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and that information required to be disclosed by us in these periodic filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that our internal controls are effective to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
