PERRY ELLIS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 for annual financial statements. These condensed 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, 2009.

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.

Effective for fiscal 2010, the Company has revised its fiscal reporting calendar to a retail calendar. As a result, the fiscal quarters will end on a Saturday. This change is not anticipated to be material to its quarterly or annual reporting. This change allows the Company to be consistent with the reporting period of its retail partners.

 

2. SHARE REPURCHASE

During November 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase, from time to time and as market and business conditions warrant, up to $20 million of its common stock for cash in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions over a 12-month period. In September 2008, the Board of Directors extended the stock repurchase program, which authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $20 million of its common stock for cash over the next twelve months. Although the Board of Directors allocated a maximum of $20 million to carry out the program, the Company is not obligated to purchase any specific number of outstanding shares, and will reevaluate the program on an ongoing basis.

The Company repurchased 418,000 and 12,000 shares of its common stock during first quarters of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively, at a cost of approximately of $1.8 million and $0.2 million. Through the first quarter of fiscal 2010 total purchases of $17.4 million have been made under this plan.

 

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No.141R is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R did not have an impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. A significant impact may, however, result from any future business acquisitions. The amounts of such impact will depend upon the nature and terms of such future acquisitions, if any.

Table of Contents

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 requires that noncontrolling (or minority) interests in subsidiaries be reported in the equity section of the Company’s balance sheet, rather than in a mezzanine section of the balance sheet between liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 160 also changes the manner in which the net income of the subsidiary is reported and disclosed in the controlling Company’s income statement. SFAS No. 160 also establishes guidelines for accounting for changes in ownership percentages and for deconsolidation. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after December 1, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this statement as of February 1, 2009, including the required retrospective application to all prior periods presented. SFAS No. 160 impacted the Company’s presentation of minority interests on the balance sheet and statement of income but had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 161 requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides for more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. This statement is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have an impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. For financial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 was effective for the fiscal year 2009 financial statements and all required disclosures were incorporated. For non-financial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which required the Company to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The adoption of the deferred provisions of this statement did not have an impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This Staff Position is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has not completed its assessment of the impact, if any, this new pronouncement will have on the financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” which amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This Staff Position is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has not completed its assessment of the impact, if any, this new pronouncement will have on the financial statements.

8. NET INCOME PER SHARE ATTRIBUTED TO PERRY ELLIS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Basic net income per share attributed to Perry Ellis International, Inc. is computed by dividing net income attributed to Perry Ellis International, Inc. by the weighted average shares of outstanding common stock. The calculation of diluted net 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 income per share attributed to Perry Ellis International, Inc. includes the effects of the stock options and unvested restricted shares as determined using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income per share attributed to Perry Ellis International, Inc.:

10. INCOME TAXES

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2006 through 2009 are open tax years. The Company’s state tax filings are subject to varying statutes of limitations. The Company’s unrecognized state tax benefits are related to state tax returns open from 2002 through 2009, depending on each state’s particular statute of limitation. As of May 2, 2009, various state, local, and foreign income tax returns are under examination by taxing authorities.

Table of Contents

The Company has a $3.5 million liability recorded for unrecognized tax benefits as of February 1, 2009, which includes interest and penalties of $0.8 million. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. All of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $0.4 million. The decrease to the total amount of the unrecognized tax benefit for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 includes a decrease in interest and penalties of $43,000.

It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the Company may settle its voluntary disclosure process with the State of New Jersey. The Company does not currently anticipate that such resolutions will significantly increase or decrease tax expense within the next twelve months. Furthermore, the statute of limitations related to the Company’s 2006 U.S. federal tax year will expire within the next twelve months. The lapse in the statute of limitations would be expected to decrease tax expense within the next twelve months. The expiration of the statute of limitations related to the Company’s 2006 U.S. federal tax year could result in a tax benefit of up to approximately $1 million.

 

11. STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED SHARES

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company granted stock options to purchase shares of common stock to certain key employees. The Company awarded an aggregate 1,163,859 stock options to purchase shares of common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $4.53 to $4.89, which generally vest over a three year period and have a ten year term. The total fair value of the stock options, based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, amounted to approximately $3,300,000, which will be recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the stock option.

Also, during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company awarded one employee 10,000 shares of restricted stock, which vest over a four year period at an estimated value of $42,000. This value will be recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the restricted stock.

 

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” the Company’s principal segments are grouped between the generation of revenues from products and royalties. The Licensing segment derives its revenues from royalties associated from the use of its brand names, principally Perry Ellis, Jantzen, Original Penguin, Gotcha, Farah, Savane, Pro Player, Manhattan, Munsingwear and Laundry by Shelli Segal. The Product segment derives its revenues from the design, import and distribution of apparel to department stores and other retail outlets, principally throughout the United States.

The Company allocates certain corporate selling general and administrative expenses based primarily on the revenues generated by the segments.

14. CONSOLIDATING CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company and several of its subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the senior subordinated notes on a joint and several basis. The following are consolidating condensed financial statements, which present, in separate columns: Perry Ellis International, Inc., (Parent Only), the Guarantors on a combined, or where appropriate, consolidated basis, and the Non-Guarantors on a consolidated basis. Additional columns present eliminating adjustments and consolidated totals as of May 2, 2009 and January 31, 2009, and for the three months ended May 2, 2009 and April 30, 2008. The combined Guarantors are wholly owned subsidiaries of Perry Ellis International, Inc., and have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the senior subordinated notes payable on a joint and several basis. 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.

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, 2009 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 are in the areas of revenue recognition, the estimated collectability of accounts receivable, the recoverability of obsolete or overstocked inventory, the impairment of long-lived assets that are our trademarks, the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the measurement of retirement related benefits and stock-based compensation. We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended May 2, 2009, as compared to those we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009.

Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the three month period in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending January 30, 2010 (“fiscal 2010”) compared with the three month period in the first quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 (“fiscal 2009”).

Results of Operations - three months ended May 2, 2009 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2008

Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended May 2, 2009 were $214.0 million, a decrease of $23.8 million, or 10.0%, from $237.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily driven by the transition of the Perry Ellis dress shirts business to a licensed product, which amounted to $3.4 million, and the exiting of Docker’s Outwear and numerous specialty store programs. Additionally several of our previous customers including Mervyns and Goody’s, which accounted for sales of approximately $6.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009, subsequently filed for bankruptcy and liquidated as a result. Further adding to the decrease was our planned reduction of $7.0 million in our bottoms private label and replenishment business. These decreases were partially offset by organic growth of several of our platforms— golf lifestyle, swim, direct retail and our Hispanic brands.

Royalty income. Royalty income for the three months ended May 2, 2009 was $6.0 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 3.4%, from $5.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The increase was primarily driven by the new Perry Ellis dress shirt license agreement, partially offset by the loss of some smaller license agreements.

Gross profit. Gross profit was $69.2 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009, a decrease of $15.4 million, or 18.2%, from $84.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008.

As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit margins were 31.5% for the three months ended May 2, 2009, as compared to 34.7% for the three months ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of 326 basis points. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was attributed to the exit of the licensed PING golf business at the corporate channel and by the unusually promotional retail environment, particularly the private label program within bottoms and swim. This decrease was partially offset by the increase in royalty income from our new Perry Ellis dress shirt license agreement.

Wholesale gross profit margins (which exclude the impact of royalty income) decreased to 29.5% for the three months ended May 2, 2009 from 33.1% for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The decrease of 359 basis points is attributed to the unusually promotional retail environment, particularly the private label program within bottoms and swim.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended May 2, 2009 were $54.4 million, a decrease of $7.9 million, or 12.7%, from $62.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The decrease, primarily in our wholesale business, in selling, general and administrative expenses, on a dollar basis, is attributed to a decrease in distribution costs mainly driven by the closure of our Winnsboro warehouse, a reduction in advertising expenses of $2.7 million, a decrease of third party commissions as a result of our exiting of certain specialty store programs and as a result of additional cost saving strategies identified during the strategic review process we began during our third quarter of fiscal 2009. As part of our strategic review process, we identified selling, general and administrative expense reductions of approximately $15 million for fiscal 2010. The identified initiatives included: the consolidation of the Tampa bottom’s production department; reductions in headcount and advertising and promotion budget in the men’s specialty store businesses; reduction in the shared services cost structure; restructuring of the Perry Ellis Outlet operations; the annualization of distribution cost savings due to the closing of the Winnsboro distribution center; and a hiring freeze and reduction of travel and other discretionary expenses.

As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 24.7% for the three months ended April 30, 2008, as compared to 25.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2008. As a percentage of total revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, this decrease was in line with our anticipated results and primarily due to the factors explained above.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended May 2, 2009 was $3.6 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 2.7%, from $3.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008. Depreciation and amortization remained essentially flat as compared to prior year, with the slight decrease attributed to the write off of the long lived assets in the amount of $1.6 million, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended May 2, 2009, was $4.6 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 2.2%, from $4.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The overall increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to a slightly higher average balance on our senior credit facility as compared to the prior year. We began the first fiscal quarter of 2010 with $54.4 in borrowings on the senior credit facility and ended the quarter with $38.3 million as of May 2, 2009 as compared to $65.3 million as of April 30, 2008.

Income taxes. The income tax provision for the three months ended May 2, 2009, was $0.8 million, a $3.9 million decrease as compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008. For the three months ended May 2, 2009, our effective tax rate was 12.5% as compared to 33.3% for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The decrease in the tax rate is attributed to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits decreasing during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and the change in ratio of income between domestic and foreign operations, of which the foreign operations are taxed at lower statutory tax rates.

Net income attributed to Perry Ellis International, Inc. The net income for the three months ended May 2, 2009 was $5.8 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 36.3%, as compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008. 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 our strategic review process and our increased discipline in our working capital and cash flow management, our working capital requirements will decrease for the remainder of the year. As of May 2, 2009, our total working capital was $235.2 million as compared to $241.1 million as of January 31, 2009 and $204.0 million as of April 30, 2008. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, an underutilized $30 million letter of credit facility was terminated. Traditionally, our letter of credit facilities were used for trade financing. We have shifted our finance strategy from relying on letter of credit facilities to direct trade terms with our vendors, and as such, we did not need the excess capacity provided by this letter of credit facility. We believe that our cash flows from operations and availability under our senior credit facility and remaining letter of credit facilities are sufficient to meet our working capital needs.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.4 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $31.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The cash provided by operating activities for three months ended May 2, 2009 is primarily attributable to a decrease in inventory of $24.9 million due to tighter controls in inventory planning and a decrease of other current assets, primarily prepaid taxes in the amount of $6 million; offset by an increase in accounts receivable and a reduction of our accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued interest payable. The cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2008 is primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $34.4 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $11.5 million; offset by a decrease in inventory of $3.8 million due to tighter controls in inventory planning and an anticipated reduction in certain replenishment programs.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.9 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $36.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The net cash used during the first three months of fiscal 2010 primarily reflects the purchase of property and equipment in the amount of $0.9 million, as compared to net cash used in the purchase of property and equipment in the amount of $2.0 million and the acquisition of the C&C California and Laundry by Shelli Segal brands and inventory for $34.0 million during the same period in fiscal 2009. We anticipate capital expenditures during fiscal 2010 of $7 million to $8 million in technology and systems, retail stores, and other expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended May 2, 2009, was $18.1 million, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2008 of $67.9 million. The net cash used during the first three months of fiscal 2010 primarily reflects the net payments on our senior credit facility of $16.2 million, payments of $0.1 million on our mortgages, and purchase of treasury stock of $1.8 million. The net cash provided during the first three months of fiscal 2009 primarily reflects the net borrowings on our senior credit facility of $65.3 million, of which $34 million was used in the acquisition of the C&C California and Laundry by Shelli Segal brands discussed above, and the proceeds received from the exercise of stock options of $3.3 million, offset by net cash used in financing activities for the payments of $1.1 million on our mortgages, purchase of treasury stock of $0.2 million and a payment of loan to noncontrolling interest of $0.6 million.

The Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program, which authorizes us to continue to repurchase up to $20 million of our common stock for cash over the next five months. Although the Board of Directors allocated a maximum of $20 million to carry out the program, we are not obligated to purchase any specific number of outstanding shares, and will reevaluate the program on an ongoing basis. Through the first quarter of fiscal 2010 total purchases of $17.4 million have been made under this plan.

Acquisitions

On February 4, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of the C&C California and Laundry by Shelli Segal brands and related assets from Liz Claiborne, Inc. The acquisition was financed through existing cash and borrowings under the Company’s existing senior credit facility. The transaction was valued at $34 million. Both brands are ideally positioned to address the fastest growing segment within women’s apparel: contemporary. Both brands sell in luxury retail stores and high-end specialty boutiques. Together they created our women’s contemporary business platform. The results of operations of the acquired brands have been included in the Company’s operations beginning as of the date of the acquisition.

Senior Credit Facility

In October 2008, we amended our senior credit facility. In connection with the amendment, we paid approximately $338,000 in financing fees. These fees will be amortized over the term of our senior credit facility. The following is a description of the terms of our senior credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association, et al, 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 $125 million with the opportunity to increase this amount in $25 million increments up to $200 million; (ii) the inventory borrowing limit is $75 million; (iii) the sublimit for letters of credit is up to $40 million; (iv) the amount of letter of credit facilities allowed outside of the facility is $110 million and (v) the outstanding balance is due at the maturity date of February 1, 2012. At May 2, 2009, the balance of the senior credit facility totaled $38.3 million.

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 not aware of any non-compliance with any 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 our 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 its eligible factored accounts receivables up to $10.0 million plus (c) the lesser of (i) the inventory loan limit of $75 million, 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.

Interest. Interest on the principal balance under our senior credit facility accrues, at our option, at either (a) the greater of Wachovia’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds rate; plus 1/2 % plus a margin spread of 100 to 175 basis points based upon the sum of our quarterly average excess availability plus excess cash for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, at the time of borrowing or (b) the rate quoted by Wachovia as the average monthly Eurodollar Rate for 1-month Eurodollar deposits plus a margin spread of with 200 to 275 basis points based upon the sum of our quarterly average excess availability plus excess cash for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, 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 and real estate owned, 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 May 2, 2009, we maintained two U.S. dollar letter of credit facilities totaling $51.8 million, one letter of credit facility totaling $3.2 million utilized by our Canadian joint venture, and one letter of credit facility totaling $0.9 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. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, one credit line totaling an estimated $30.0 million dollars was cancelled. As of May 2, 2009, there was $47.8 million available under the existing letter of credit facilities.

$150 Million Senior Subordinated Notes Payable

In fiscal 2004, we issued $150 million 87 /8% senior subordinated notes, due September 15, 2013. The proceeds of this offering were used to redeem its then outstanding 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 and the real estate mortgage resulting in all of our debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy.

Real Estate Mortgage Loans

Our main administrative office, warehouse and distribution facility is a 240,000 square foot facility in Miami, Florida. The facility was partially financed with an $11.6 million real estate mortgage loan. The real estate mortgage loan contains certain covenants. We are not aware of any non-compliance with any 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 loan 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 and indenture relating to our senior subordinated notes resulting in all our of debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. Interest is fixed at 7.123%. In August 2008, we executed a maturity extension of the real estate mortgage loan until July 1, 2010. At May 2, 2009, the balance of the real estate mortgage loan totaled $10.9 million, of which $190,000 is due within one year.

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. During March 2008 we paid off the three variable interest mortgage loans.

In 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. At May 2, 2009, the balance of the real estate mortgage loan totaled $14.4 million, of which $312,000 is due within one year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any “off-balance sheet arrangements” as defined by applicable GAAP and 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 months ended May 2, 2009.

 

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. Currently we have no derivative financial contracts.

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 Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 2, 2009 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 was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended May 2, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
