ANVIL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in Thousands, Except Share Data)

 

NOTE 1 -General

 

Basis of Presentation:  The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles which are generally accepted in the United States of America (“Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 29, 2005, or any other period.  The balance sheet at January 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 included in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

As used herein, the “Company” refers to Anvil Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), including, in some instances, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Anvil Knitwear, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Anvil”), and its other subsidiaries, as appropriate to the context. The Company is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing high quality activewear for men, women and children, supplemented with caps, towels, robes and bags. The Company markets and distributes its products, under its brand names and private labels, primarily to wholesalers and screen printers, principally in the United States.

 

The Company reports its operations in one segment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.

 

The Company’s operations are on a “52/53-week” fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, after elimination of significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

 

Litigation:  The Company is party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of its business.  The Company does not believe that the outcome of any of the matters in which it is currently involved will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, liquidity, business or results of operations of the Company.

 

NOTE 2  - Credit Agreements; Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock

 

Anvil’s Loan and Security Agreement, as amended on May 20, 2004 (the “Loan Agreement”), provides for a maximum revolving credit facility of $40,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).  The Loan Agreement, as amended, expires January 11, 2007.  The original Loan Agreement included a term loan in the initial principal amount of $11,725, repayable in quarterly principal installments of $586, the last of which was made in April 2004.  Amounts due under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all the inventory, receivables, intangible and tangible property, plant and equipment of Anvil.  Holdings and Cottontops, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cottontops”) guarantee amounts due under the Loan

 

7



 

Agreement.  Interest on the Revolving Credit Facility is at prime plus one-quarter percent or LIBOR plus 2-1/4%, at the Company’s option.  At July 31, 2004, there was $7,924 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bearing interest at 4.5%.

 

In accordance with the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Designations relating to the 13% Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), the Company paid stock dividends aggregating 1,075,782 shares ($26,895 liquidation value).  This amount includes all dividends declared and paid through the March 15, 2002 quarterly dividend payment date.  Dividends subsequent to that date are required to be paid in cash.  The Board of Directors of Holdings has not declared any quarterly dividends since the March 15, 2002 dividend, and such dividends have not been paid.  To date, the accrued dividends amount to $13,104, excluding dividends on preferred shares held by the Company.  Under the Certificate of Designations relating to the Preferred Stock, if the Company fails to make cash dividend payments for four consecutive quarters, the holders of the Preferred Stock, at a special meeting held for that purpose, voting together as a class, may elect two additional directors to the Company’s Board of Directors.  On November 6, 2003, a special meeting of the holders of the Preferred Stock was held for the purpose of electing two additional directors.  At that meeting, two directors, nominated by the holders of Preferred Stock, were elected to the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

NOTE 3  -  Inventories

 

Inventories at July 31, 2004 and January 31, 2004 consisted of the following:

NOTE 4 –Intangible Assets

 

Effective at the beginning of the fiscal year ended February 1, 2003, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  The adoption of SFAS No. 142 required that the Company cease amortizing existing goodwill and also requires goodwill and other intangible assets to be tested for impairment annually and when an event occurs indicating that it is possible an impairment exists.

 

Intangible assets being amortized consist of trademarks having an aggregate value of $4,858, less accumulated amortization of $2,717 and $2,574 as of July 31, 2004 and January 31, 2004, respectively.  Amortization expense for these trademarks will be $286 for each of the next five fiscal years, beginning with the fiscal year ending January 29, 2005.

 

NOTE 5 – Redeemable Preferred Stock/Adoption of SFAS No. 150

 

Effective as of the beginning of the current fiscal year ending January 29, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.”  SFAS No. 150 requires that financial instruments issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable be classified as liabilities if such financial instruments embody an unconditional obligation requiring the

 

8



 

issuer to redeem them by transferring its assets at a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon an event that is certain to occur.  Adoption of SFAS No. 150 required the Company to begin classifying its 13% Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) as a liability, and the related dividends and accretion as interest expense.  Prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 150, the Company classified the Preferred Stock on its balance sheet between liabilities and equity and the related dividends and accretion as a reduction in equity not included as an element of interest expense.  The adoption of FASB No. 150 does not affect the Company’s computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share.  Restatement of prior periods is not permitted when applying SFAS No. 150.  The Preferred Stock consists of the following:

 

 

 

July 31, 2004

 

January 31, 2004

 

Preferred Stock issued and outstanding
(Liquidation value, $75,872 and $71,171)

$

52,416

 

$

49,124

 

 

NOTE 6 – Income (Loss) per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to each class of Common Stock by the average number of shares of such stock outstanding, excluding anti-dilutive options.  Dividends and accretion on the Company’s Preferred Stock (net of treasury shares) were deducted from net income (loss) for all fiscal periods through January 31, 2004 to arrive at net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders.  Subsequent thereto, such dividends and accretion are classified as interest expense (see Note 5).  This change in classification of preferred dividends has no impact on the Company’s computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share.  The 12.5% liquidation preference relating to the Company’s Class A Common Stock is considered as per share earnings of that class only.  Following is the computation of the per share amounts as presented in the consolidated statements of operations:

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, included in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The application of accounting policies require judgement by Management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates.  By their nature, these judgements are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and are based upon historical experience, trends in the industry, and information available from outside sources. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company’s significant critical accounting policies include:

 

Revenue Recognition and Allowances—Revenue is recognized at the time merchandise is shipped and title has passed.  Allowances for sales returns, discounts and for estimated uncollectible accounts are provided when sales are recorded, based upon historical experience and current trends, and periodically updated, as appropriate.  Overall, these allowances have increased slightly in recent fiscal periods.  While the actual amounts have been within the range of the Company’s projections, there can be no assurances that this will continue in the future.

 

Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  If required, based upon Management’s judgement, reserves for slow moving inventory and markdowns of inventory which has declined significantly in value are provided.  Reflective of industry-wide lower selling prices for basic goods, the Company’s markdowns of inventory have increased significantly over the last three fiscal years.  While such markdowns have been within the range of Management’s projections, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same level of markdowns, or that markdowns taken will be adequately representative of any future declines in selling prices.

 

Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets—Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may have been impaired.  In evaluating an asset for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition.  If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss, equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset, is recognized.  Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, through July 31, 2004, there were no adjustments to the carrying amount of long-lived assets resulting from the Company’s evaluation for any periods presented in the accompanying financial statements.

 

13



 

Results of Operations

 

The Company’s results of operations are affected by numerous factors, including competition, general economic conditions, raw material costs, mix of products sold and plant utilization.  Certain activewear products of the type manufactured by the Company are generally available from multiple sources and the Company’s customers often purchase products from more than one source. To remain competitive, the Company reviews and adjusts its pricing structure from time to time in response to price changes.  The Company generally does not lead its competitors in pricing, but instead modifies its prices to the extent necessary to remain competitive with those set by its competitors.

 

The gross profit margins of the Company’s products vary significantly.  Accordingly, the Company’s overall gross profit margin is affected by its product mix.  In addition, plant utilization levels are important to profitability due to the substantial fixed costs of the Company’s textile operation.  The largest component of the Company’s cost of goods sold is the cost of yarn.  The Company obtains substantially all of its yarn from a number of domestic yarn suppliers, generally placing orders based upon Management’s expectations regarding future yarn prices and levels of supply.  Yarn prices fluctuate from time to time principally as a result of competitive conditions in the yarn market and the cost of raw cotton.  The Company adjusts the timing and size of its purchase orders for yarn based on projected trends in the yarn market.  Management is continually reviewing and adjusting the Company’s purchase commitments to take advantage of price decreases and ameliorate the impact of price increases.

 

The following table sets forth, for each of the periods indicated, certain consolidated statement of operations data, expressed as a percentage of net sales.

† Includes preferred dividends of $1,685,000 and $3,292,000 for the quarter and six months ended July 31,2004, respectively, as a result of adopting SFAS No. 150.  The prior year’s periods do not include such dividends as interest expense.  Interest expense on borrowings (excluding Preferred Stock)  for the current quarter and six months ended July 31, 2004 is 6.9% and 7.0% of net sales, respectively.

 

(1) EBITDA is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization and certain other non-cash charges.  EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Management believes, however, that EBITDA represents a useful measure of assessing the performance of the Company’s ongoing operating activities as it reflects earnings trends of the Company.  In addition, Management believes EBITDA is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.  EBITDA does not take into account the Company’s debt service requirements and other commitments and, accordingly, is not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for discretionary uses. The EBITDA measure presented herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.  Following is the computation of EBITDA for the periods indicated.

Quarter Ended July 31, 2004 Compared to Quarter Ended August 2, 2003

 

Net sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2004 amounted to $53,104,000, as compared to $52,254,000 for the comparable quarter of the preceding fiscal year, an increase of $850,000, or 1.6%.  Total units sold were 6.4% less than the preceding year’s quarter.  This decrease in units sold is the result of the Company’s decision to reduce emphasis on sales of basic white T-Shirts.  An increase in average selling prices of more than 8.6% was the primary cause for the increased sales amount.

 

Gross profit for the quarter ended July 31, 2004 increased $5,041,000 (91.4%), from $5,514,000 in the prior year’s fiscal quarter to $10,555,000 in the current fiscal quarter.  Gross margin increased from approximately 10.6% in the prior year’s quarter to 19.9% in the current fiscal quarter.  The Company’s consolidated textile operation continues to produce more efficiently, with an estimated cost reduction in the current quarter of approximately $3,800,000, as compared to the same period of the prior year.  In addition, the Company continues to recognize an improvement in product mix toward goods having traditionally higher selling prices and gross margins.  This improvement (estimated at approximately $1,500,000 for the second fiscal quarter) was achieved through reduced emphasis on sales of the Company’s basic white T-Shirts, which have experienced a significant decline in selling prices over the last several years.  Continued higher yarn prices partially offset the aforementioned favorable changes in the Company’s gross profit.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (including distribution expense) were $5,888,000 in the current fiscal quarter compared to $6,010,000 for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease in expenses in this category is due primarily to lower advertising expenses in the current year’s quarter.

 

Interest expense on borrowings was $3,678,000 in the current fiscal quarter compared to $3,606,000 for the same period in the prior year.  Interest rates were approximately the same during each quarter, but the Company utilized more borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility in the current year’s quarter than during the same period of the prior year.  Also,

 

15



 

pursuant to SFAS No. 150 (see Note 5 to the financial statements), in the current fiscal year, the Company began classifying dividends and accretion on its Redeemable Preferred Stock ($1,685,000 in the current quarter) as interest expense.

 

Provision for income taxes reflects a significantly higher effective tax rate than in previous fiscal periods because the aforementioned preferred dividends of $1,685,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2004, although now classified as interest expense for accounting presentations, remain non-deductible for Federal and state tax purposes.

 

Six months Ended July 31, 2004 Compared to Six months Ended August 2, 2003

 

Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2004 amounted to $106,125,000, as compared to $114,929,000 for the first six months of the prior year, a decrease of $8,804,000 or 7.7%.  On a year to date basis, for the first six months of the current fiscal year, total units sold are approximately 13% less than the same period of the prior year, while on the same basis average selling prices have increased by approximately 6.4%.  As mentioned above, the decrease in units sold is the result of the Company’s decision to reduce emphasis on sales of basic white T-Shirts.  The improvement in selling prices occurred primarily during the second quarter, as described above.

 

Gross profit for the six months ended July 31, 2004 increased $7,985,000 (51.4%) from $15,522,000 in the prior year’s six months to $23,507,000 in the current fiscal six months as the result of the factors discussed above, in the estimated year to date amounts indicated: (i) textile conversion efficiencies ($7,500,000) and (ii) favorable changes in product mix and selling prices ($2,500,000), partially offset by higher yarn prices ($2,000,000).

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (including distribution expense) were $12,782,000 for the first half of the current fiscal year, compared to $12,805,000 for the same period of the prior year.  Distribution expense was approximately $170,000 less than the prior year’s six month period due primarily to reduced units shipped.  This favorable change was partially offset by slightly higher selling, advertising, marketing and general and administrative costs in the current year to date fiscal period.

 

Interest expense on borrowings was $7,468,000 in the current fiscal six months compared to $7,212,000 for the same period in the prior year, and increase of $256,000.  Interest rates were approximately the same during each period but the Company utilized more borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility in the current six months than during the same period of the prior year.  Also, pursuant to SFAS No. 150 (see Note 5 to the financial statements), in the current fiscal year, the Company began classifying dividends and accretion on its Redeemable Preferred Stock ($3,292,000 in the current six months) as interest expense.

 

Provision for income taxes reflects a significantly higher effective tax rate than in previous fiscal periods because the aforementioned preferred dividends of $3,392,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2004, although now classified as interest expense for accounting presentations, remain non-deductible for Federal and state tax purposes.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has historically utilized funds generated from operations and borrowings under its credit agreements to meet working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The

 

16



 

Company made capital expenditures of  $17,435,000 and $3,708,000 in the fiscal years ended February 1, 2003 and January 31, 2004, respectively.  The amount for the year ended February 1, 2003 includes expenditures relating to the consolidation into one textile facility and the expansion of that facility.  Management estimates that capital expenditures in the fiscal year ending January 29, 2005 will be approximately $5,000,000, and thereafter will aggregate approximately $6,000,000 annually.  Historically, the Company’s major capital expenditures have related to the acquisition of machinery and equipment and management information systems hardware and software.  The Company’s principal working capital requirements are financing accounts receivable and inventories.

 

At July 31, 2004 the Company had net working capital of $57,198,000 comprised of $2,714,000 in cash and cash equivalents, $29,398,000 of accounts receivable, $46,097,000 of inventories, $10,813,000 of other current assets, and $31,824,000 in revolving credit borrowings, accounts payable and other current liabilities.

 

Anvil’s Loan and Security Agreement, as amended on May 20, 2004 (the “Loan Agreement”), provides for a maximum revolving credit facility of $40,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).  The Loan Agreement, as amended, expires January 11, 2007.  The original Loan Agreement included a term loan in the initial principal amount of $11,725,000 repayable in quarterly principal installments of $586,000, the last of which was made in April 2004.  Amounts due under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all the inventory, receivables, intangible and tangible property, plant and equipment of Anvil.  Holdings and Cottontops guaranty amounts due under the Loan Agreement.  Interest on the Revolving Credit Facility is at prime plus one-quarter percent or LIBOR plus 2-1/4%, at the Company’s option.  At July 31, 2004, there was $7,924,000 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bearing interest at 4.5%.

 

Holdings has no independent operations with its sole asset being the capital stock of Anvil, which stock is pledged to secure the obligations under the Loan Agreement.  As a holding company, Holdings’ ability to pay cash dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock or, if issued, principal and interest on the debentures into which the Senior Preferred Stock is convertible (the “Exchange Debentures”) is dependent upon the earnings of Anvil and its subsidiaries and their ability to declare dividends or make other intercompany transfers to Holdings.  Under the terms of the Senior Indenture, Anvil may incur certain indebtedness pursuant to agreements that may restrict its ability to pay such dividends or other intercompany transfers necessary to service Holdings’ obligations, including its obligations under the terms of the Senior Preferred Stock and, if issued, the Exchange Debentures. The Senior Note Indenture restricts, among other things, Anvil’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make certain other “restricted” payments (except to the extent, among other things, the restricted payments are less than 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of Anvil [as defined therein]), to incur additional indebtedness, to encumber or sell assets, to enter into transactions with affiliates, to enter into certain guarantees of indebtedness, to make certain investments, to merge or consolidate with any other entity and to transfer or lease all or substantially all of their assets. Neither the Senior Note Indenture nor the Loan Agreement restricts Anvil’s subsidiaries from declaring dividends or making other intercompany transfers to Anvil.

 

The Company’s ability to satisfy its debt obligations, including, in the case of Anvil, to pay principal and interest on the Senior Notes and, in the case of Holdings, to pay principal and interest on the Exchange Debentures, if issued, to perform its obligations under its guarantees

 

17



 

and to pay cash dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock, will depend upon the Company’s future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, certain of which are beyond its control, as well as the availability of revolving credit borrowings under the Loan Agreement.  However, the Company may be required to refinance a portion of the principal of the Senior Notes and, if issued, the Exchange Debentures prior to their maturity and, if the Company is unable to service its indebtedness, it will be forced to take actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing its indebtedness, or seeking additional equity capital.  There can be no assurance that if any of these remedies are necessary, they could be effected on satisfactory terms, if at all.

The Company believes that, based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, funds generated from operations, together with other available sources of liquidity, including borrowings under the Loan Agreement, will be sufficient over the next twelve months for the Company to fund its normal working capital requirements and satisfy its debt service requirements.

 

Seasonality

 

The Company’s business is not significantly seasonal as it manufactures and sells a wide variety of activewear products that may be worn throughout the year.

 

Effect of Inflation

 

Inflation generally affects the Company by increasing the interest expense of floating rate indebtedness and by increasing the cost of labor, equipment and raw materials.  The Company does not believe that inflation has had any material effect on the Company’s business during the periods discussed herein.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities which superseded Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).  SFAS No. 146 will affect the timing of the recognition of costs associated with an exit or disposal plan by requiring them to be recognized when incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal

 

18



 

plan.  SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.  The adoption of SFAS No. 146 is not currently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  This Statement amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2002 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.  The adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

In November 2002, the FASB approved FASB Interpretation No. 45  (“FIN 45”) “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 5, 57 and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.  FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, relating to a guarantor’s accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees.  Specifically, FIN 45 requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The provisions for initial recognition and measurement are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees that are issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of a guarantor’s fiscal year-end. However, the disclosure provisions of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002.  The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46R). This Interpretation, which replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46 Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. Application of FIN 46R is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities (other than small business issuers) for all other types of entities is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The Company’s adoption of FIN 46R did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

Forward-Looking Information

 

The Company’s results of operations have been significantly affected by an industry-wide decline in selling prices of more than 30% over the last three years.  The Company continues its efforts to mitigate the effects of this decline by exploring additional cost reduction methods and improvements in manufacturing efficiencies, which could entail additional capital expenditures.  Management is actively seeking to diversify and expand the Company’s

 

19



 

customer base and also plans to place increased emphasis on the sale of goods sourced as finished products.  Modifications to the Company’s historical methods of producing and acquiring fabric are being considered and less emphasis is being placed on the sale of basic white T-Shirts, the selling prices of which have declined significantly over the last several years.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

The Board of Directors of the Registrant has not declared any quarterly dividends on the Company’s 13% Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) since the March 15, 2002 dividend, and such dividends have not been paid.  To date, the accrued dividends amount to $13,104,000, excluding dividends on Preferred Stock held by the Company.
