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 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively, at a cost of approximately of $1.8 million and $0.2 million. No purchases were made during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009. Through the second 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 was effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption 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 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 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS No. 165 establishes principles and requirements for subsequent events, which are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, SFAS No. 165 sets forth (a) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity shall evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (b) the circumstances under which an entity shall recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (c) the disclosures that an entity shall make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS No. 165 was effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively. This statement was adopted during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the time of the filing of these financial statements with the SEC on September 9, 2009.

Table of Contents

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” The objective of SFAS No. 166 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. SFAS No. 166 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 166 are to be applied to transfers that occur on or after the effective date. The adoption of SFAS No. 166 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation 46(R) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether an enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity by replacing the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the entity. SFAS No. 167 also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 167 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (also issued as Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01). SFAS No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 168 will have no impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

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

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 (loss) 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 and unvested restricted shares as determined using the treasury stock method.

10. REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE

The Company’s 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 contains certain covenants and as of August 1, 2009, the Company is not aware of any non-compliance with any of these covenants. The interest rate is fixed at 7.123%. In August 2008, the Company executed a maturity extension of the real estate mortgage loan until July 1, 2010. At August 1, 2009, the balance of the real estate mortgage loan totaled $10.8 million, of which the entire balance is reflected as a current liability since it is due within one year.

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 August 1, 2009, the balance of the real estate mortgage loan totaled $14.1 million, of which $293,000 is due within one year.

 

11. 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 August 1, 2009, various state, local, and foreign income tax returns are under examination by taxing authorities.

 

9


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 three and six months ended August 1, 2009, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits increased by $15,000 and decreased by $0.4 million, respectively. The change to the total amount of the unrecognized tax benefits for the three and six months ended August 1, 2009 included an increase in interest and penalties of $7,000 and a decrease of $43,000, respectively.

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 resolution 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.

 

12. STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED SHARES

During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2010, the Company granted stock options to purchase shares of common stock to certain key employees. The Company awarded an aggregate of 1,163,859 and 14,167 stock options to purchase shares of common stock, respectively, during the quarters with exercise prices ranging from $4.53 to $8.00, 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 each 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.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company awarded five directors an aggregate of 32,765 shares of restricted stock, which vest over a three year period at an estimated value of $250,000. This value will be recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the restricted stock.

 

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued interest payable approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount of the senior credit facility approximates fair value due to the frequent resets of its floating interest rate. As of August 1, 2009 and January 31, 2009, the fair value of the $150 million senior subordinated notes payable was approximately $127.5 million and $90.0 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices. These estimated fair value amounts have been determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies.

 

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $75 million in order to reduce the debt servicing costs associated with its $150 million 8  7/8% senior subordinated notes. The Swap Agreement is scheduled to terminate on September 15, 2013. Under the Swap Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a fixed rate of 8  7/8% and is obligated to make semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate plus 632 basis points for the period through September 15, 2013. The Swap Agreement has optional call provisions with trigger dates of September 15, 2009,

 

11


Table of Contents

September 15, 2010 and September 15, 2011, which contain premium requirements in the event the call is exercised. The Swap Agreement is a fair value hedge as it has been designated against the 8  7/8% senior subordinated notes carrying a fixed rate of interest and converts the fixed interest payments to variable interest payments.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement (the “$75 million Cap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $75 million associated with the senior subordinated notes. The $75 million Cap Agreement is scheduled to become effective on December 15, 2010 and terminate on September 15, 2013. The $75 million Cap Agreement limits the maximum interest rate on $75 million of the senior subordinated notes to 9.32%. The $75 million Cap Agreement will not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

 

17. 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 August 1, 2009 and January 31, 2009 and for the three and six months ended August 1, 2009 and July 31, 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.

Forward–Looking Statements

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:

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 six months ended August 1, 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 and six month periods of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2010 (“fiscal 2010”) compared with the three and six month periods of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 (“fiscal 2009”).

Results of Operations - three and six months ended August 1, 2009 compared to three and six months ended July 31, 2008.

Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended August 1, 2009 were $153.0 million, a decrease of $34.4 million, or 18.4%, from $187.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily driven by the weakness at the department store channel for swimwear product, affected by unusually cold weather, and for the Perry Ellis brand which accounted for $11 million. A reduction of $3 million resulted from the transition of the Perry Ellis dress shirts business to a licensed product and the exiting of Dockers Outwear and numerous specialty store programs. In addition, the door count reduction for the Perry Ellis Collection at the department store distribution channel, accounting for a $3.5 million reduction. The reduction due to the anticipated deceleration of PING golf business. Also, several of our previous customers, including Mervyns and Goody’s, which accounted for sales of approximately $5.0 million during the second 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 private label and replenishment business. These decreases were partially offset by organic growth of several of our platforms— golf lifestyle, Merona swim program, and our Hispanic brands.

Table of Contents

Net sales for the six months ended August 1, 2009 were $367.0 million, a decrease of $58.2 million, or 13.7%, from $425.2 million for the six months ended July 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily driven by the transition of the Perry Ellis dress shirts business to a licensed product; the exit of PING, Dockers Outwear and numerous specialty store programs; several of our previous customers including Mervyns and Goody’s, which accounted for sales of approximately $11.2 million during the first half of fiscal 2009, subsequently filing for bankruptcy and liquidated as a result; and our planned reduction of $14.0 million in our private label and replenishment business. These decreases were partially offset by organic growth of several of our platforms— golf lifestyle and our Hispanic brands.

Royalty income. Royalty income for the three months ended August 1, 2009 was $6.2 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 1.6%, from $6.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2008. The decrease was driven by the exit of the Hartmarx license, partially offset by the increase driven by the new Perry Ellis dress shirt license agreement. Royalty income for the six months ended August 1, 2009 was $12.2 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.8%, from $12.1 million for the six months ended July 31, 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 $49.2 million for the three months ended August 1, 2009, a decrease of $13.0 million, or 20.9%, from $62.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2008. Gross profit was $118.4 million for the six months ended August 1, 2009, as compared to $146.8 million for six months ended July 31, 2008, a decrease of 19.3%.

As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit margins were 30.9% for the three months ended August 1, 2009, as compared to 32.1% for the three months ended July 31, 2009, a decrease of 122 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 in 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 and in the reduction of our sales allowance and chargebacks by 200 basis points. As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit margins were 31.2% for the six months ended August 1, 2009, as compared to 33.6% for the six months ended July 31, 2008, a decrease of 234 basis points. The decrease in the gross profit percentage came from the factors described above.

The wholesale gross profit margin (which excludes the impact of royalty income) for the three months ended August 1, 2009 was 28.1%, as compared to 29.9% for the three months ended July 31, 2008. The wholesale gross profit margin percentage decreased for the six months ended August 1, 2009, to 30.0%, as compared to 31.7% for the six months ended July 31, 2008. The decrease for the three and six months ended August 1, 2009 was primarily attributable to the unusually promotional retail environment in the private label program within bottoms and swim.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended August 1, 2009 was $47.7 million, a decrease of $12.6 million, or 20.9%, from $60.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 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, a reduction in advertising expenses of $2.6 million, a decrease of third party commissions as a result of our exiting of certain specialty store programs and through our efforts to control sample costs.

As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses was 30.0% for the three months ended August 1, 2009, as compared to 31.1% for the three months ended July 31, 2008. As a percentage of total revenue during the second quarter of fiscal 2010, this decrease was in line with our anticipated results and primarily due to the factors explained above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended August 1, 2009, was $102.1 million, a decrease of $20.5 million, or 16.7%, from $122.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2008. The decrease, primarily in our wholesale business, in

Table of Contents

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 $5.3 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. Thus far we have had a cost reduction of $19 million and anticipate that there is an additional $5 million to $10 million in savings for the second half of fiscal 2010.

As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses was 26.9% for the six months ended August 1, 2009, as compared to 28.0% for the six months ended July 31, 2008. As a percentage of total revenue during the first half 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 August 1, 2009 was $3.4 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 8.1%, from $3.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2008. Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended August 1, 2009, was $7.0 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 4.1%, from $7.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2008. Depreciation and amortization decreased slightly as compared to the 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.

Impairment on marketable securities. During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we determined that certain marketable securities which were classified as available for sale were deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. Accordingly, an impairment in the amount of approximately $2.0 million was recognized for the three and six months ended July 31, 2008.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended August 1, 2009, was $4.0 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 7.0%, from $4.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2008. Interest expense for the six months ended August 1, 2009, was $8.6 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2.3%, from $8.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2008. The overall decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to a lower average balance on our senior credit facility as compared to the prior year. We began the first fiscal quarter of 2010 with $54.4 million in borrowings on the senior credit facility and ended the second quarter with no outstanding borrowings as compared to $22.3 million as of July 31, 2008.

Income taxes. The income tax benefit for the three months ended August 1, 2009, was ($0.7) million, a decrease of $2 million as compared to the ($2.7) million for the three months ended July 31, 2008. For the three months ended August 1, 2009, our effective tax rate was 11.9% as compared to 33.1% for the three months ended July 31, 2008. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective rate was due to the change in ratio of income between domestic and foreign operations, of which the foreign operations are taxed at lower statutory tax rates.

Our income tax provision for the six months ended August 1, 2009 was $0.1 million, a $1.9 million decrease as compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended July 31, 2008. For the six months ended August 1, 2009, our effective tax rate was 17.3% as compared to 33.5% for the six months ended July 31, 2008. The decrease in the effective tax rate is attributed to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the first half 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 (loss) income. The net (loss) for the three months ended August 1, 2009 was ($5.3) million, a decrease of $0.1 million, as compared to the net (loss) of ($5.4) million for the three months ended July 31, 2008. Net income for the six months ended August 1, 2009 was $0.5 million, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 86.5%, as compared to net income of $3.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 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 August 1, 2009, our total working capital was $185.9 million as compared to $241.1 million as of January 31, 2009 and $199.7 million as of July 31, 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 $78.5 million for the six months ended August 1, 2009, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $16.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2008. The increase of $62.1 million in the level of cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended August 1, 2009, as compared to the six months ended July 31, 2008, is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable of $43.2 million due to lower sales and our collection efforts, a decrease in inventory of $37.1 million due to improved inventory planning and a decrease of prepaid taxes of $2.8 million; offset by the reduction of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the amount of $14.8 million and the decrease of unearned revenues and other liabilities of $4.0 million. For the six months ended July 31, 2008, cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable of $22.9 million due to our collection efforts, and a decrease in inventory of $10.2 million due to improved inventory planning; offset by the reduction of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the amount of $19.2 million and the increase of prepaid taxes of $9.6 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million for the six months ended August 1, 2009, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $38.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2008. The net cash used during the first half of Fiscal 2010 primarily reflects the purchase of property and equipment in the amount of $1.6 million, as compared to net cash used during the first half of Fiscal 2009 for the purchase of property and equipment in the amount of $4.7 million and the acquisition of the C&C California and Laundry by Shelli Segal brands and inventory for $33.6 million. Additionally we entered into a capital lease for the acquisition of certain equipment in the amount of $0.9 million which was categorized as a non-cash financing activity. We anticipate capital expenditures during fiscal 2010 of $6 million to $7 million in technology and systems, retail stores, and other expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended August 1, 2009, was $56.5 million, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2008 of $25.1 million. The net cash used during the first half of fiscal 2010 primarily reflects the net payments on our senior credit facility of $54.4 million, the payments of $0.4 million on our

mortgages and capital leases, and the purchase of treasury stock of $1.8 million. The net cash provided during the first half of fiscal 2009 primarily reflects the net borrowings on our senior credit facility of $22.3 million and the proceeds received from the exercise of stock options of $3.6 million, offset by the payments of $1.2 million on our mortgages, purchase of treasury stock of $0.2 million and a payment of loan to a 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 three 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 second 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 August 1, 2009, we did not have any borrowings under the senior credit facility.

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 August 1, 2009, we maintained two U.S. dollar letter of credit facilities totaling $50.1 million, one letter of credit facility totaling $3.5 million utilized by our Canadian joint venture, and one letter of credit facility totaling $1.0 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 August 1, 2009, there was $45.5 million available under existing letter of credit facilities.

$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 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 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 August 1, 2009, the balance of the real estate mortgage loan totaled $10.8 million, of which the entire balance is reflected as a current liability since it 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 August 1, 2009, the balance of the real estate mortgage loan totaled $14.1 million, of which $293,000 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 and six months ended August 1, 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.

Derivatives on $150 Million Senior Subordinated Notes Payable

Subsequent to quarter end, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $75 million in order to reduce our debt servicing costs associated with our $150 million 8  7/8% senior subordinated notes. The Swap Agreement is scheduled to terminate on September 15, 2013. Under the Swap Agreement, we are entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a fixed rate of 8  7/8% and are obligated to make semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate plus 632 basis points for the period through September 15, 2013. The Swap Agreement has optional call provisions with trigger dates of September 15, 2009, September 15, 2010 and September 15, 2011, which contain premium requirements in the event the call is exercised. The Swap Agreement is a fair value hedge as it has been designated against the 8  7/8% senior subordinated notes carrying a fixed rate of interest and converts the fixed interest payments to variable interest payments.

Subsequent to quarter end, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement (the “$75 million Cap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $75 million associated with our senior subordinated notes. The $75 million Cap Agreement is scheduled to become effective on December 15, 2010 and terminate on September 15, 2013. The $75 million Cap Agreement limits the maximum interest rate on $75 million of our senior subordinated notes to 9.32%. The $75 million Cap Agreement will not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

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.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended August  1, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
