K-SWISS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(Unaudited)

 

1.   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the S.E.C.”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of K-Swiss Inc. (the “Company” or “K-Swiss”) as of March 31, 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, have been included for the periods presented. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in combination with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002. Certain reclassifications have been made in the three months ended March 31, 2002 presentation to conform to the three months ended March 31, 2003 presentation.

 

2.   In June 2001, the Company was notified by counsel representing the trustee appointed to oversee the liquidation of assets of a previous customer of the Company, which filed for bankruptcy protection in 1999, that they are seeking reimbursement of all payments made to the Company during the 90 day period prior to the bankruptcy filing. The aggregate amount of these payments, which the trustee’s counsel is claiming to be preferential transfers, is approximately $4,315,000, while the trustee is seeking the court’s permission to add a further $600,000 in claimed preferential transfers. The Company believes these payments were received in the ordinary course of business and that it has a meritorious defense against the trustee’s claims. In November 2001, the trustee filed suit against K-Swiss (and other creditors) to recover payments made to K-Swiss during the 90 days prior to the customer’s bankruptcy filing. The Company continues to believe that it has a meritorious “ordinary course of business” defense against these claims and will assert that defense in detail at the appropriate time in the litigation. No provision for this claim has been made in the Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2003.

 

3.   In response to K-Swiss’ opposition to Swiss Army Brands, Inc.’s registration and intended use of Swiss Army as a trademark on footwear, Swiss Army Brands has petitioned for cancellation of the Company’s U.S. registrations for the K-Swiss trademark. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the petitions, but the outcome cannot be predicted at this time. An unfavorable decision could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
