Notes to the consolidated interim financial information

1. General information

Tommy Hilfiger B.V. (‘the Company’) is a limited liability holding company which was incorporated in the Netherlands on 5 July 2005. The address of its registered office is Stadhouderskade 6, Amsterdam The Netherlands. The fiscal year (‘FY’) of the Company starts at 1 April and ends on 31 March.

Tommy Hilfiger B.V. and its subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’) design, source and market men’s and women’s sportswear and activewear, jeanswear, childrenswear and footwear under the Tommy Hilfiger and Karl Lagerfeld trademarks. Through a range of strategic licensing agreements, the Group also offers a broad array of related apparel, accessories, fragrance and home furnishings products. The Group’s products can be found in leading department and specialty stores throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Central and South America, Hong Kong and other countries in the Far East, as well as the Group’s own network of specialty and company stores in the United States, Canada, Japan and Europe.

The parent company is Tommy Hilfiger Holding S.à r.l. registered in Luxemburg. The ultimate majority shareholders of the Company are funds advised by Apax Partners. The remainder is owned by various other investors and management of the Company.

This Special Purpose Consolidated Interim Financial Information was approved for issue on 9 April 2010.

2. Basis of preparation

On 15 March 2010, Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (PVH) announced to acquire the Company. The transaction is subject to financing and other customary conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and is expected to close before August 2010. The Company has prepared this Special Purpose Consolidated Interim Financial Information to conform to the requirements of PVH’s anticipated filing and related securities offerings. The Special Purpose Consolidated Interim Financial Information for the nine months ended 31 December 2009 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim financial reporting’ and should be read in conjunction with the Special Purpose Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2009, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’).

The interim financial data as of 31 December 2009 and for the nine months ended 31 December 2009 and 31 December 2008 is unaudited; in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

2.1 Summary of significant accounting policies

The same accounting policies applied to the Special Purpose Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2009 were applied to the Special Purpose Consolidated Interim Financial Information as of 31 December 2009, which were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. For a more detailed description of these accounting policies, please refer to the Special Purpose Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2009 as included in the filing as described in the above paragraph, except for the adoption of the following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations, which have been adopted as relevant to the Company for the first time.

Revised IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’

The amendments to IAS 1 mainly concern the presentation of changes in equity, in which changes as a result of the transaction with shareholders should be presented separately. The Company opted to present items of income and expense and components of other comprehensive income in two separate statements as from April 1, 2009.

IFRS 2 (amendment), ‘Share-based payment’

IFRS 2 (amendment), ‘Share-based payment’ deals with vesting conditions and cancellations. It clarifies that vesting conditions are service conditions and performance conditions only. Other features of a share-based payment are not vesting conditions. The amendment does not have impact on the Group’s financial statements.

The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are mandatory for the first time for the financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2009, but are not currently relevant for the Group.

	•		IAS 23 (amendment), ‘Borrowing costs’.
	•		IAS 32 (amendment), ‘Financial instruments: Presentation’.
	•		IFRIC 13, ‘Customer loyalty programmes’.
	•		IFRIC 15, ‘Agreements for the construction of real estate’.
	•		IFRIC 16, ‘Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation’.
	•		IAS 39 (amendment), ‘Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement’.

The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not effective for the financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2009 and have not been early adopted:

•

IFRS 3 (Revised), ‘Business combinations’ (effective for fiscal years starting on or after 1 July 2009). The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the income statement. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed. The Group will apply IFRS 3 (Revised) prospectively to all business combinations from 1 April 2010.

3. Seasonality

The Company’s business is impacted by the general seasonal trends characteristic of the apparel and retail industries. The Company’s Wholesale revenue, particularly from its European operations, is generally highest during the second and fourth fiscal quarters, while the Company’s Retail sales channel generally contributes its highest levels of revenue during the third fiscal quarter. As the timing of Wholesale product shipments and other events affecting the retail business may vary, results for any interim reporting period may not be indicative of results for the full year.

4. Geographical and divisional split

In the geographical and divisional split, revenue and operating result are shown by geographical and by divisional area in which Tommy Hilfiger operates. The geographical areas in which Tommy Hilfiger operates are Europe, North America, Rest of World (RoW) and Other. Other activities mainly comprise the Group’s Karl Lagerfeld businesses as well as corporate activities such as finance and executive compensation.

The Company identifies the following divisions: retail, wholesale, licensing activities and Other. Revenues are allocated to these divisions based on the location of the customers.

Royalties paid to Tommy Hilfiger Licensing LLC for the usage of the Tommy Hilfiger trademark by other regions is shown separately. The royalties are accounted for at arm’s length prices charged to unaffiliated customers. The intercompany royalties are eliminated during the consolidation.

At 31 December 2009

Net book amount			161,325

The main additions relate to investments in furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements as a result of opening new and refurbishing existing stores, which were largely offset by depreciation charges for the period.

Impairment

The impairment loss for the first nine months ended 31 December 2009 of €25,977 (first nine months ended 31 December 2008: nil) represents the write down of Furniture & Fixtures and Leasehold Improvements for a number of owned and operated Retail stores in Europe and North America to the recoverable amount. The impairment is caused by the overall economic slowdown and 3-5 year cash flow forecasts for these stores. The impairment loss has been recognised in the income statement in the line item “Depreciation, amortisation and impairment”.

Highly probable forecasted variable interest charges on the Senior debt are designated as hedged item in the cash flow hedge relationship. The effective portion of the fair value changes on the interest swaps designated in a hedge accounting relationship are deferred to the hedging reserve in equity until the underlying forecasted interest cash flow occurs.

The fair market value of these Depositary Receipts was €4,707 and the fair value per Depositary Receipt was €4,531. The management participation plan is regarded to be an equity settled share based compensation plan for which the expenses of €1,651 thousand have been recognised in the consolidated income statement for the nine months ended 31 December 2009. The remainder of the total Depositary Receipts is expected to be issued before the closing of the acquisition by PVH.
