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 June 30, 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six and three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, have been included for the periods presented. The results of operations and cash flows for the six and three months ended June 30, 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 six and three months ended June 30, 2002 presentation to conform to the six and three months ended June 30, 2003 presentation.

 

2.   In November 2001, the Company was sued by the trustee appointed to oversee the liquidation of assets of a previous customer of the Company. The trustee sought 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 characterized as preferential transfers, was approximately $4,315,000, while the trustee later sought 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 had meritorious defenses against the trustee’s claims. In June 2003, the Company reached a compromise settlement with the trustee that will require the Company to pay a small portion of the claimed amounts. This amount has been recognized by the Company in the quarter ended June 2003. The settlement is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. The trustee has sought such approval, but the Court has not yet acted on the trustee’s request.

 

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 and Swiss Army Brands, Inc., have now settled all litigation between them in a manner satisfactory to both companies.
