ASHWORTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2003
NOTE 1 — Basis of Presentation.
| In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and related interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary for their fair presentation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. | ||
| Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements has been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2002, filed with the SEC on January 30, 2003. | ||
| Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results. | ||
| Shipping and Handling Expenses | ||
| The shipping expenses, which consist primarily of payments made to freight companies, are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses. Shipping expenses for the quarters ended April 30, 2003 and 2002 were $520,000 and $707,000 respectively. For the six-month periods ended April 30, 2003 and 2002, shipping expenses were $832,000 and $1,001,000 respectively. |
NOTE 2 — Inventories.
| Inventories consisted of the following at April 30, 2003 and October 31, 2002: |

NOTE 3 — Net Income Per Share Information.
| Basic net income per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effects of common shares potentially issuable from the exercise of common stock options. Common stock options are excluded from the computation of net income per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share based on the requirements of SFAS No. 128: |

| For the quarters ended April 30, 2003 and 2002, the diluted weighted average shares outstanding computation excludes 1,867,000 and 710,000 options whose impact would have an anti-dilutive effect, respectively. For the six-month periods ended April 30, 2003 and 2002, the diluted weighted average shares outstanding computation excludes 1,847,000 and 1,173,000 options whose impact would have an anti-dilutive effect, respectively. |
NOTE 4 – Stock Option Compensation.
| The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. The interim information regarding pro forma net income and earnings per share is required by Statement No. 123 and Statement No. 148. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is |

| amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. The Company’s pro forma information is as follows (in thousands except for net income per share information): |

| These pro forma calculations only include the effects of grants made in 1996 through 2003. As such, the impacts may not be representative of the effects on reported net income in future years. |
NOTE 5 – Comprehensive Income.
| The Company includes the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment as a component of comprehensive income in addition to net income for the period. For the quarters ended April 30, 2003 and 2002, total comprehensive income was $4,142,000 and $3,862,000, respectively. For the six-month periods ended April 30, 2003 and 2002, total comprehensive income was $4,954,000 and $2,590,000, respectively. |
NOTE 6 – Legal Proceedings.
| On January 22, 1999, Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP filed a class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (“U.S. District Court”) on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock during the period between September 4, 1997 and July 15, 1998. The action was subsequently consolidated with two similar suits and plaintiffs filed their Amended and Consolidated Complaint on December 17, 1999. Upon the Company’s motion, the U.S. District Court dismissed the Complaint with leave to amend on July 18, 2000. On September 18, 2000, plaintiffs served their Second Consolidated Amended Complaint (“Second Amended Complaint”). On November 6, 2000, the Company filed its motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, which the U.S. District Court granted, in part, and denied, in part. The remaining portions of the Second Amended Complaint allege that, among other things, during the class period and in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company’s financial statements, as reported, did not conform to generally accepted accounting principles with respect to revenues and inventory levels. It further alleges that certain Company executives made false or misleading statements or omissions concerning product demand and that two former executives engaged in insider trading. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages. The parties are currently in the discovery process. |

| The Company is party to other claims and litigation proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Although the legal responsibility and financial impact with respect to such other claims and litigation cannot currently be ascertained, the Company does not believe that these other matters will result in payment by the Company of monetary damages, net of any applicable insurance proceeds, that, in the aggregate, would be material in relation to the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. |
NOTE 7 – Segment Information.
| The Company defines its operating segments as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the Company’s senior management. The Company has the following two reportable segments: domestic and international. Management evaluates segment performance based primarily on revenues and income from operations. Interest income and expense is evaluated on a consolidated basis and is not allocated to the Company’s business segments. Segment information is summarized (for the dates or periods presented) below: |
