Basis for preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Sunset Suits Holdings, Inc. include the financial statements of Sunset Suits Holdings, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Sunset Suits S.A., Fashion Service Sp. z o. o. (t the date of the sale), Bohemia s.r.o., UAB Sunset Suits Vilnius, SIA Sunset Riga and OU Posnania (the “Group”) for all periods presented and are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Intercompany transactions and intercompany balances have been eliminated. All financial data in the condensed consolidated financial statements is expressed in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) including Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulation and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive condensed consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The Group classified the manufacturing operations of Fashion Service as discontinued. Management decided to cease production in Poland and sell its manufacturing segment to an unrelated party in the fourth quarter of 2009. The operations of Fashion Service comprise all of the activities in the manufacturing segment. In accordance with FAS 144 (now ASC 360-10), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and notes have been reclassified to reflect the results of these operations as discontinued operations. See Note 20 Discontinued Operations of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these discontinued operations.

Going concern

As of the date these financial statements have been prepared, the Group has a negative working capital amounting to $6,522 thousand. Subsequent to June 30, 2009 the Group reported a decrease in total sales with relative lower decrease in operating costs, which resulted in a net loss and a further decrease of total shareholders’ equity. Management is aware of this unfavorable financial situation of the Group and prepared a recovery plan. The plan assumed: i) improvement of operating margin; ii) negotiations with suppliers to extend payments terms; iii) negotiations with fiscal authorities to extend payments of taxes; iv) negotiations with landlords to decrease operating lease costs; iv) issuance of debt to finance current business activity.

Subsequent steps to remedy the financial situation of the Group depend on raising funds. The achievement of Management plans is dependent on the final outcome of negotiations with suppliers and fiscal authorities. As of the date of these financial statements, these negotiations are still undergoing and their final outcome is uncertain. Therefore as of the date these financial statements have been prepared, there is a substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the September 30, 2010 condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on the going concern basis as Management believes the Group will be able to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months.

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include Sunset Suits Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries Sunset Suits Holdings, Inc. including, Sunset Suits Holdings, Inc., Sunset Suits S.A., Fashion Service Sp. z o. o. (since January 1, 2010 to March 26, 2010), Bohemia s.r.o., UAB Sunset Suits Vilnius, SIA Sunset Riga and OU Posnania. SIA Sunset Riga was not owned by Sunset Suits Holdings until January 22, 2009, Bohemia s.r.o. was not owned by Sunset

Sunset Suits Holdings, Inc.
Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

Suits Holdings until July 2009, OU Posnania was not owned by Sunset Suits Holdings until July 10, 2009 and UAB Sunset Suits Vilnius was not owned by Sunset Suits Holdings until August 25, 2009. Prior to these dates all of these entities were solely owned by Mr. Miroslaw Kranik and hence they were under common control with Sunset Suits Holdings, Inc. Consistent with the provisions of paragraphs D8–D14 of Appendix D of FAS 141(R) (now within FASB ASC 805-50) the Company accounted for the acquisitions of the aforementioned business entities as transfers of assets under common control. Since the transfer of net assets from Sunset Suits Men’s Fashion - Moda Meska to its successors – Sunset Suits S.A. and Fashion Service Sp. z o. o. resulted in a change of reporting entity; in practice the accounting method used for consolidation is similar to the pooling of interest method. The accounts of all entities are included as if they had always been consolidated. This method has been applied also to consolidation of Bohemia s.r.o., UAB Sunset Suits Vilnius, SIA Sunset Riga and OU Posnania for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and comparative periods of nine months ended September 30, 2009 and twelve months ended December 31, 2009. The recorded assets and liabilities of separate entities are consolidated in the financial statements. The financial statements of the Group are therefore called consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with US GAAP differ in certain material respects from financial statements of Sunset Suits S.A., Fashion Service Sp. z o. o., Bohemia s.r.o., UAB Sunset Suits Vilnius, SIA Sunset Riga and OU Posnania, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises incorporated in Poland (“Polish GAAP”), Czech Republic (“Czech GAAP”), Lithuania (“Lithuanian GAAP”), Latvia (“Latvian GAAP”) and Estonia (“Estonian GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments not recorded in the books and records of Sunset Suits S.A., Fashion Service Sp. z o. o., Bohemia s.r.o., UAB Sunset Suits Vilnius, SIA Sunset Riga and OU Posnania to present them in conformity with US GAAP. All adjustments are applied retrospectively and financial statements of the subsidiaries have been restated. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and cash flows are eliminated on consolidation.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Property, Plant, Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements recorded at the inception of a lease are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter; for improvements made during the lease term, the amortization period is the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term (including any renewal periods that are deemed to be reasonably assured). Property under capital leases is amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter.

The exact historical cost of buildings, machinery and equipment and leasehold improvements acquired prior to 2006, substantially all of which (except leasehold improvements, that were acquired in the 2000s) were acquired in the mid to late 1990s, could not be reasonably determined due to a lack of accounting documentation. For buildings and machinery and equipment groups of tangible fixed assets, all of which were acquired in the mid to late 1990s, the historical cost was estimated using, as a starting point, an engineer’s estimate of the historical cost of past investment. Management is of the opinion that this valuation is the reasonable estimation of historical cost for these groups of tangible fixed assets. For leasehold improvements, all of which were acquired in the 2000s, historical cost was recreated by identifying all bills and invoices related to retail outlets fittings, even if, they were not properly recorded in the accounting system in the past.

Operating Leases

Total rent payments under operating leases that include scheduled payment increases and rent holidays are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rent expense on our buildings and retail stores is classified as an SG&A expense and, for certain stores, includes contingent rents that are based on a percentage of retail sales over stated levels. Landlord allowances are amortized by the straight-line method over the original term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Group uses the Polish zloty (PLN) as its functional currency. Transactions in currencies during the year in other than PLN are translated into PLN at the exchange rates as of the specific transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than PLN as of the date of the balance sheet are translated into PLN at the exchange rates prevailing as of such date. All transaction differences are recorded in the income statement.

Sunset Suits Holdings, Inc.
Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

The Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. Foreign currency translation is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” (now ASC 830-10). Accordingly, all assets and liabilities are translated from PLN to USD at the exchange rates prevailing as of the date of the balance sheet and all income and expenditure items are translated at the average rates for each of the years presented. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive income. The exchange rates adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the Polish National Bank.

Translation of amounts from PLN into United States dollars (“US$”) has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective years:

September 30, 2010  
Balance sheet PLN 2.9250 to US$1.00
Statement of income and comprehensive income PLN 3.0479 to US$1.00
   
September 30, 2009  
Balance sheet PLN 2.8852 to US$1.00
Statement of income and comprehensive income PLN 3.2136 to US$1.00
   
December 31, 2009  
Balance sheet PLN 2.8503 to US$1.00
Statement of income and comprehensive income PLN 3.1162 to US$1.00

Income Taxes

The Group uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Current tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated corporate income taxes payable or refundable on the tax returns for the current year. The taxes are paid in the country where an entity operates. Tax liability estimation is made separately for each entity using a tax charge applicable for the country the entity operators. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax provisions are based on the changes to the respective assets and liabilities from period to period. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when uncertainty regarding their realizability exists.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

The Group evaluates the property and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment based on our classification as i) held for sale or ii) to be held and used. Several criteria must be met before an asset is classified as held for sale, including that management with the appropriate authority commits to a plan to sell the asset at a reasonable price in relation to its fair value and is actively seeking a buyer. For assets classified as held for sale, we recognize the asset at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs of disposal, as estimated based on comparable asset sales, offers received, or a discounted cash flow model. We review assets to be held and used for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. We then compare the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment is recorded based on the fair value of the asset, typically measured using a discounted cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs. All recognized impairment losses, whether for assets to be held for sale or assets to be held and used, are recorded as operating expenses.

There are several estimates, assumptions and decisions in measuring impairments of long-lived assets. First, management must determine the usage of the asset. To the extent management decides that an asset will be sold, it is more likely that an impairment may be recognized. Assets must be tested at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. This means that some assets must be grouped, and management has some discretion in the grouping of assets. Future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective and actual results may differ materially from our estimates.

Sunset Suits Holdings, Inc.
Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

We review indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually and between annual test dates in certain circumstances. We perform our annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Indefinite-lived intangible asset for relevant reporting units is tested for impairment using a discounted cash flow analysis based on our budgeted future results discounted using a weighted average cost of capital, developed using a standard capital asset pricing model based on guideline companies in our industry, and market indicators of terminal year capitalization rates. The indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of a trademark, which is tested for impairment using the relief-from-royalty method.

There are several estimates inherent in evaluating these assets for impairment. In particular, future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective and actual results may differ materially from our estimates. In addition, the determination of capitalization rates and the discount rates used in the goodwill impairment test are highly judgmental and dependent in large part on expectations of future market conditions.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, depreciation, intangible asset valuations and useful lives, goodwill impairments, employee benefit plans, environmental accruals, taxes and contingencies. These estimates may be adjusted as more information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group has changed the presentation of gains and losses on fixed assets disposals or sales of fixed assets. Gains and losses on sale of fixed assets used to be presented below the line of income from operations in consolidated statement of operations. According to ASC 360-10-45-5 gains and losses on sale of fixed assets should be presented as a part of income from operations (“above the line”). Since losses on fixed assets disposal presented in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $856 thousand and are considered significant, management decided to change the presentation in this financial statement to comply fully with ASC 360-10-45-5. The comparative figures had been reclassified accordingly.

4. CLASSIFICATION OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS IN CONTINUING AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Group classifies the results from operations of our continuing and discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the provisions of "Presentation of Financial Statements" in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). Many of these provisions involve judgment in determining whether a business component will be reported as continuing or discontinued operations. Such judgments include whether a component of our business will be sold or terminated, the period required to complete the disposition and the likelihood of changes to a plan for sale. If in future periods we determine that a component of our business should be either reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations or from discontinued operations to continuing operations, previously reported condensed consolidated statements of income will be reclassified in order to reflect that classification. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we designated our production segment to be held for sale that was previously included in continuing operations. Therefore at December 31, 2009 the production segment was presented as held for sale and classified as discontinued operations. The details are presented in note 19 below.

8. OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Trademark is an indefinite lived intangible asset that represents the cost of acquired brand registered for the name of Sunset Suits S.A.. The trademark has been registered since 1994 by Men’s Fashion. In 2007 the legal right to the Sunset Suits trademark was transferred from Men’s Fashion to Sunset Suits S.A. according to a transfer agreement of an in-kind contribution, including the trademark.

The Group also possesses intangible assets such as technology and know-how created by the company that management believes have substantial value but have no identified historical cost and consequently cannot be recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles which limits amounts recognized to historical cost.

The carrying value of the trademark, which has no determinable life, constitutes its historical cost of acquisition. Management believes that its current fair value is well in excess of this amount. Management believes that the Group has other intangibles assets such as technology and know-how that have significant value although not recognized under US GAAP.

The nominal value of the deposits amounted to $1,144 thousand and $1,645 thousand, respectively, as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Since the deposits are recoverable in more than one year, the Group recorded the deposits at the present value of the eventual deposit receipt. The difference between the present value and future value of the deposits are accounted for as a discount and amortized over the term of the lease, resulting in amortization of deposit discount amounting to $25 thousand and $69 thousand, for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

For the nine months period ended September 30, 2010 a current income tax benefit amounting to $1,316 thousand is recorded, arising from the taxable losses for the nine months of 2010. It is expected to be recovered as an offset to income tax liabilities eventually expected to be due 2010. This current tax asset is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2010.

A deferred tax asset is recognized primarily on deferred compensation, and losses carried forward. Management is of the opinion that the deferred tax asset related to loss and credit carry forwards is not fully recoverable and that the losses incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 will not be fully utilized to offset taxable income to be generated in future years. As a result, management provided for a deferred tax asset allowance amounting to $405 thousand. Management is therefore of the opinion that the net deferred tax assets amounting to $680 thousand will be fully utilized to offset taxable income to be generated in future years as taxable income is expected in the next few fiscal years.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximated carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt approximated its carrying value because of the variable rate interest rates of the debt.

As a result of the Group’s credit facilities, the Group is exposed to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates which may adversely affect results of operations and financial condition. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks and or costs associated with such risks.

15. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Sunset Suits S.A. and Fashion Service Sp. z o. o. both contribute to a pension scheme organized by the Polish government in respect of their employees in Poland on a monthly basis and accrue for retirement benefits that equal one monthly salary payable at the retirement of each employee who is employed at that date. Bohemia, Sunset Suits Vilnius, Sunset Riga and OU Posnania contribute to a pension scheme organized by the Czech, Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian government in respect of their employees employed in the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia respectively, on a monthly basis and accrue for retirement benefits that equal one monthly salary payable at the retirement of each employee who is employed at that date. Other than the above, neither Group member provides any other post-retirement or post-employment benefits.

The Group incurred expenses relating to employee benefits amounting to $672 thousand and $736 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingent Liabilities

Members of the Group have been named as defendants in various actions and proceedings, including actions brought by certain employees whose employment has been terminated arising from the Group’s ordinary business activities. Although the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to these actions cannot be accurately predicted, in our opinion, any such liability will not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position or results of operations.

Guarantees to landlords

The Group provides cash deposits to Landlords for rent facilities. These deposits are returned upon the end of lease period. The landlords require cash deposit being paid in advance as the substitute of bank guarantees. Therefore, according to its lease agreement the Group is required to make the whole payment of deposit before it start to operate its retail outlet. Due to poor liquidity, the Group is unable to satisfy all of its agreements with landlords and did not provide for the whole deposits as it is required. As of September 30, 2010, there were $698 thousand of deposits that were not provided by Sunset Suits S.A.. If not paid timely, landlords bears a right to dissolve the agreement with Sunset Suits S.A.. Currently Management is under discussion with landlords to delay the date the total deposit is paid.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

Predecessors or affiliates of the Group had defaulted on payment on certain long term debt in the past. As a result of bank settlements, part of the interest was suspended. If the bank settlements are breached, the accrued interest might be claimed by financial institutions. Total interest suspended amounted to $3,174 thousand at September 30, 2010 and it is not accrued in the Group’s financial statements. This suspended interest can be claimed by the counterparty financial institutions should we fail to pay interest on the existing bank notes in a timely manner. Management is of the opinion that the risk of breaching the bank settlement agreement is low.

Operating Leases

In the normal course of business, the Group rents retail and factory outlet stores space under operating lease agreements. The operating lease agreements generally contain renewal options that may be exercised at the applicable Group member’s discretion after the completion of the base rental terms. Certain of the rental agreements provide for payment of occupancy costs. In addition, many of the rental agreements provide for payment by us of a percentage of outlet net sales or at specified intervals, which usually occur on an annual basis. Sales outlets are leased for initial periods ranging from 5 to 10 years. As of September 30, 2010 there were lease agreements that last from 3 months up to 10 years. The following table presents the future minimum rental payments as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented:

  Three Months ended December 31, 2010     Twelve months ended December 31, 2011     December 31, 2012     December 31, 2013     December 31, 2014     Payments after December 31, 2014  
                                     
Future minimum rental payments $  1,295   $  3,892   $  2,784   $  2,106   $  1,313   $  2,052  

The Group recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement. Contingent rent expense is recognized as it is incurred. Total rent expense in continuing operations from operating lease agreements (including occupancy costs) were $3,328 thousand and $5,401 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

19. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Statement of Operations

Management approved a plan to exit production in Poland in the fourth quarter of 2009. For some time, the cost of maintaining of production facility in Krzyźanowo has been increasing due to the diseconomies of scale. As a consequence on March 26, 2010, Sunset Suits S.A. completed the sale of its 100% equity interest in Fashion Service to Sp. z o. o. to XCRITO Ltd., headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus. The sale was part of a restructuring plan initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 to improve the Company’s operating margin. The Group decided to source its merchandise through a supply chain from the Far East instead of own production. Consequently management sold the Fashion Service production facility on March 26, 2010. With the recent exit, the Company will no longer have continuing involvement with production in Poland. However a small sales outlet will be maintained in Krzyźanowo.

As a result of selling the production operations at the Krzyzanowo facility, the operations of the production segment have now been classified as discontinued operations. In accordance with FAS 144 (now ASC 360-10), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes have been restated to reflect the results of these operations as discontinued operations.

The Group currently estimates that the tax charges related to exit activities at Krzyźanowo facility will be approximately nil.

In accordance with FASB Statement No. 144 (now ASC 360-10), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the production facility has been classified as discontinued operations, whereby its operating results are presented on the Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and all prior periods have been restated.

Assets Held for Sale

There were no assets held for sale as of September 30, 2010.

As a result of the production exit plan described in note 20 above, at December 31, 2009, factory assets totaling $11,348 thousand were classified as held for sale, including $7,694 for a long lived assets and $3,654 thousand for current asset. At December 31, 2009, liabilities related to this exit plan totaled $28,908 thousand, including $3,085 of accounts payable, $12,497 of tax payables and $1,978 thousand of other payables of the factory asset held for sale. The Company subsequently sold the factory assets and liabilities held for sale on March 26, 2010 for $16 thousand cash and recognized a non-cash gain on the sale of $6,831, net of taxes which amounted to nil. According to Polish tax law, gains recognized on consolidated statement of operations are not considered taxable income. Therefore the difference between tax basis and accounting basis is permanent and deferred tax liability is not recognized on this transaction.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General Overview

We are a distributer and retailer of high quality menswear, including suits, sport coats, slacks, dress shirts, ties and accessories in Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and the Czech Republic. We operate in the formal menswear market sector within its medium price segment, which represents, for example, suits priced in the range of 600 – 1,000 PLN ($180 – $300) and shirts in range of 100 – 180 PLN ($30 – $55), and we offer an assortment of styles and maintain a broad selection of fabrics, colors and sizes

We generate revenue through retail sales of our menswear, which we sell mainly through our retail sales outlets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we had net sales of $14.5 million, compared to net sales of $20 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The drop in our revenue was caused by two major factors. First, our liquidity did not allow us to stock our shops with the level of inventory expected by our customers, which made our total sales less than if our inventory levels had been higher.

21


Second, we have reduced the number of our retail outlets since September 30, 2009. The lease agreements for the closed outlets were dissolved either due to outstanding lease payments or because the retail outlets were deemed unprofitable. The total number of retail outlets in operation as of September 30, 2010 was 21% less than the total number of retail outlets in operation as of September 30, 2009.

In the beginning of 2010 our distribution was carried out through a network of 88 retail outlets. Since January 1, 2010 we have closed 26 outlets and we have opened 7 new outlets. As of September 30, 2010 our network included 69 retail outlets.

We intend to continue to build upon our business strategy by maintaining only profitable outlets as well as implementing new initiatives to promote our products and to fill product and brand portfolio needs by opening new retail stores in premier malls in Poland.

Of our 69 existing stores, 3 are located on the street in smaller cities. We are monitoring the profitability of these stores, and it is possible that we could decide to close one or more of these stores if we determine that they do not have the potential to be profitable.

In the next 3 to 5 years we plan to increase the number of our retail stores overall and to develop them in profitable locations. Our long term plans include doubling the current number of Sunset Suits retail locations. As part of these plans, we also intend to continue to expand our operations globally, through direct marketing and through partnerships with licensees. With our 3 stores in Latvia, 8 stores in the Czech Republic, and 5 stores in Lithuania, we have begun working towards our goal of increasing our international presence.

We are currently focused on medium sized stores (approximately 50 to 70 square meters per store) located in large and medium-sized malls with large numbers of customers seeking traditional styles, good quality and competitive prices.

In the long term, our intention is to restructure our retail operations as follows:

  • Operate up to 40 premium shops (around 70 square meters per shop) concentrated in prestigious and modern locations to develop brand strength and to become a modern market player vis-à-vis our closest competitor that offers higher prices for comparable quality and design;

  • Operate up to 60 medium shops (around 100 square meters per shop) concentrated in large malls with the majority of market flow is clients who are not focused on modern and current trends in design, but instead are looking for traditional shape, good quality and competing prices;

  • Operate up to 80 low cost shops (around 50 square meters per shop) concentrated in small malls and hypermarkets with the majority of the market flow of clients focused on low prices; and

  • Franchising shops in urban areas outside the city center.

In order to achieve our long-term development plans of building up to an additional 90 retail stores over approximately the next five years, we estimate we will need approximately PLN 35 million (approximately $12.2 million, for an average store opening cost of $135,000). In order to achieve these long-term development goals, we will need to raise capital through additional financing. Management believes that it is possible that a significant portion of the funds needed for increased inventory levels and capital expenditures required for our retail expansion will come from operations. Even management's most optimistic estimates, however, indicate that a substantial portion of the PLN 35 million will have to come from additional financings or bank loans.

22


Summary of Financial Performance

As of September 30, 2010, we had negative equity (liabilities in excess of assets) of $3.26 million and negative working capital (current liabilities in excess current assets less cash) of $6.52 million. Our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $2.89 million. Our net loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $3.43 million. Our net profit from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $6.32 million.

The negative working capital and equity, along with our loss for the most recent twelve month period raise a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition to seeking new debt financing, which may not be possible, or which may come at a high cost, we are implementing various plans to increase profitability and cash flow in order to both continue operations and to finance expansion plans. In addition, our management also expects, if necessary to continue operations, that it can conserve cash by delaying the payment of certain liabilities and by decreasing inventory purchases. Some of the possible sources of improving profitability and cash flow through which we seek to be able to internally finance much of the expansion are as follows:

  • We are attempting to increase our gross margin for 2010 as a result of the implementation of our revised strategy of higher pricing and making certain improvements in our supply chain which began in 2008, and maintenance of those margins thereafter. We may, however, be unsuccessful in the further implementation of this strategy.

  • We are attempting to increase sales efficiency (i.e., sales per store) by opening more stores in prime mall locations and closing stores that are not profitable. We face the risk, however, that increases in sales will turn out to be insufficient to cover the higher occupancy costs of the prime locations. Additionally, because of the global financial crisis, which resulted in consumers purchasing less retain merchandise, we are opening fewer new stores than we originally planned. Our current financial condition allows us to open up to 10 new retail outlets per year. In addition, due to the impact of the global financial crisis on our Company, we anticipate that our development plans have been delayed by two years.

  • We are engaging in a cost cutting policy focused on negotiations of rent agreements and salaries, negotiations with raw materials suppliers and a reduction in the number of employees. We believe that because of the global economic crisis we will have some success in the negotiations. It is possible, however, that we will either be unsuccessful in cutting costs or that the reductions in costs will be concurrent with the receipt of less value from suppliers, resulting in no net benefit to the Company.

  • We plan to attempt to renegotiate the payment schedules with our trade creditors. We believe that many of the creditors will have an incentive to provide terms so as to increase the likelihood of collection of the full amount due. We could, however, be unsuccessful in our efforts. Accordingly, we may need to make concessions to the creditors that will be more costly to the Company than the benefit received.

  • We plan to attempt to renegotiate the terms of our bank settlement agreements. If we are successful, we would not increase our operating cash flow but would increase the availability of existing operating cash flow to be used for capital investment. We could, however, be unsuccessful in our efforts.

  • To the extent that our expansion plan is successful, it would provide additional cash flows to finance later expansion of the Company. However, any new stores may prove to be unprofitable, or insufficiently profitable to provide an acceptable return on our investment. Our ability to finance capital investments from operating cash flows in future years will be negatively impactedif we are unable to achieve our objectives in the near term. We are capable, however, of scaling back the expansion plans, if necessary, to be conducted over a longer period than anticipated

23


Our ability to generate operating cash flow from increases in retail sales is due to immediate receipt of cash upon sales. We do not need working capital in the form of accounts receivable to generate sales. We will, however, need to finance additional accounts receivable for our new distribution channels, including high volume sales to corporations with customized discounts. A significant portion of inventory purchases, which is necessary for our retail operations, can be made on credit.

We believe that in a normalized situation with no growth or decrease in sales, operating cash flows would tend toward net income plus depreciation and amortization, which was $2.39 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. If we were to have stagnant costs and sales, we would not, however, be able to achieve this operating cash flow in the short run. Even with successful settlements to stretch our tax payments we would still have to repay the remaining old tax and trade obligations.

Principle Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

We believe that the following factors will continue to affect our financial performance:

  • Economic growth in Poland. Growth in Poland’s GDP, employment rate and wages should result in increased demand for our products. According to the Polish Central Statistical Office, Poland’s economic growth in 2009 measured by the country’s GDP was 1.8% compared to 2008. The GDP for the second quarter 2010 showed 3.8% increase over the second quarter of 2009 and 1.1% over the first quarter of 2010. Domestic demand, which is the main factor in GDP growth, reached 6.3% growth during the last twelve months ended June 30, 2010, with individual consumption showing increase of 1.4% comparing to second quarter of 2009 and 0.8% comparing to the first quarter of 2010. The contribution of individual consumption to GDP growth in 2009 was 2.3%. The International Monetary Fund forecasts that Polish GDP growth for 2010 will approximate 3.2%. The Monetary Policy Council estimates that Poland's economic growth is slowing due to the current global economic crisis, and that this slowdown will be further impacted by a deteriorating business outlook and greater difficulty in accessing credit. Despite continued over-liquidity in the banking system, borrowing costs remain high. At the same time, data from the Monetary Policy Council indicates that unemployment is on the rise and wage growth is slowing.

  • Global financial crisis. The downturn in global financial markets may negatively affect the forecasted Polish GDP growth, and as a result decrease the purchasing power of our existing and potential customers. This could negatively affect our projected total sales increase and deteriorate our profit margins. It is believed that the negative impact of the global financial crisis has not been as significant to the Polish economy as compared to the US economy, however. This is, among others reasons, due to a lower reliance of Polish corporations and households on financial markets. Polish corporations finance their operations from their own resources in larger part than US corporations. Polish households' dependence on mortgage loans is significantly smaller than in the US.

  • Clothing market development. The Polish clothing market has grown significantly in recent years. According to the Polish National Statistical Office, from 2005 through 2008, the average yearly increase in the Polish clothing sector ranged from 5% to 18% per year. According to the reports of PMR Research, a well-recognized market research company specializing in Central and Eastern Europe, the total clothing and footwear market in Poland reached 27.2 billion PLN ($9.5 billion) in 2008 and 25.5 billion PLN ($8.9 billion) in 2009. After the observed decrease in 2009 of 6.3%, PMR estimates the market value in 2010 to be 26.8 billion PLN ($9.4 billion). This represents an increase of 5.1% as compared to 2009. The downturn in global financial markets may negatively affect future clothing and footwear markets in Poland, in turn decreasing our projected total net sales and profit margins. On the other hand, our market position may result in an increase in projected total net sales and profit margins, as customers switch from the higher priced sector to our medium-priced segment.

24


  • Supply chain development. We will continue to seek high quality and cheaper sources of supply abroad, particularly finished products. Our focus is on increasing liquidity is in order to allow us to make larger and more systematic orders from our suppliers, and will result in a decrease in purchase prices. Lower purchase prices have decreased our cost of goods sold, thus resulting in higher operating margins, beginning in the second quarter of 2008. We believe that our overall supply chain development process will eventually result in increased profit margins.

  • Increase in exports. We plan to expand sales of our products to foreign markets. Thus far, we have implemented this plan by acquiring shares in local companies which operate retail stores in Lithuania, Latvia and the Czech Republic, and we plan to further develop our network of retail outlets in these countries. We believe that the overall increase in export sales through our network of acquired retail stores will result in increased sales of menswear and positively affect our overall sales.

Sale of Production and Distribution Operations

On March 26, 2010, Sunset Suits S.A., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with XCRITO Ltd. (an unrelated third party), a corporation headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus (“XCRITO”), pursuant to which we sold to XCRITO 100% of our equity interest in our wholly-owned subsidiary Fashion Service. Pursuant to the Agreement, XCRITO agreed to pay the Company $16,000, and in turn acquired all of the assets and liabilities of Fashion Service, except for liabilities resulting from long term debt (including current amounts owed on such debt), equal to $6,831,000, were assumed by Sunset Suits S.A. pursuant to the Agreement.

In connection with the Agreement, Mirosław Kranik, our President and Chief Executive Officer, agreed to continue to manage the operations of Fashion Service for up to 90 days from the closing of the transaction. In addition, the Company has agreed to rent office space from Fashion Service in Krzyźanowo, Poland for a period of 6 months following the closing of the transaction. Our management estimates that we will obtain approximately 25% of our total inventory needs from Fashion Service for a period up to 6 months following the closing of the transaction.

The sale of Fashion Service was part of a restructuring plan intended to improve our operating margin. The size of our current retail operations was not sufficient to fully utilize the manufacturing capacity of Fashion Service. In order to do so, we would have been required to engage in wholesale distribution to large distributers or retail clients. We recognized lower gross margins from our manufacturing business segment as compared to its retail segment, which therefore lowered the gross margin of the Company as a whole. In addition, the manufacturing plant would have required major upgrades in order to satisfy our needs. Accordingly, our management decided that it was more cost effective and in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders to increase its sourcing of merchandise through a supply chain in Asia instead of maintaining its own production lines.

Short-Term Financial Plan

Our short-term financial plan for 2010 includes various initiatives as discussed above, through which we hope to achieve positive net income and positive cash flows from operations or cash flows, which are negative only to the extent that we use cash to decrease our overdue tax payables. We believe that we will achieve this plan.

25


If we are able to achieve positive cash flows from operations, it would allow us to simultaneously pay down our current debt and overdue loans and tax payables according to agreed schedules. It would also allow us to have sufficient cash flow to operate normally for the remainder of 2010. The opening of new retail stores development in the near term is dependent on obtaining new loans, and or achieving positive cash flows from operations. In order to improve our liquidity we are negotiating with our trading partners from China a trade credit with maximum limit of $3,000,000 for 24 months period. We are in course of negotiations.

Revenues. Our net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $5,328,000 (including foreign operations), which is $1,552, 000 or 23% lower than for the same period in 2009, during which we had net revenues of $6,880,000. Such decrease was partially offset by the depreciation of USD to PLN by 5.2%. Net revenues, as denominated in PLN, dropped by 27%, which is the effect of a decrease in sales in our Polish retail network. Our foreign network sales remained stable as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in sales was the effect of a decrease in total quantity of apparel sold. The lower quantity sold is a result of i) lower inventory levels at our retail outlets resulting from poor liquidity; ii) the decrease in the number of our retail outlets by 21 % compared to the number of outlets as of September 30, 2009 and; iii) lower demand for our apparel as a result of the economic slowdown in Poland.

Gross Profit as a Percentage of Total Revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue increased by 11% in the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The increase of the gross margin as a percentage of revenue was principally due to decrease in cost of sales in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $3,259,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $3,756,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, which was a decrease of $497,000 or 13%. The decrease is a result of lower net revenues.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses consist of the following expenses: selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. Our total operating expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2010, amounted to $3,868,000 which is $787,000 or 17% less than that for the three months ended September 30, 2009, during which we had operating expenses of $4,655,000. The decrease in our operating expenses would be higher if we take into consideration the depreciation of the USD to the PLN by 5.2%. As denominated in PLN, total operating expenses dropped by 21%. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly due to a decrease in selling and marketing expenses.

  • Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $3,746 ,000 (70% of net sales), $553,000 or nearly 13% less than the $4,299,000 (62% of net sales) that we spent on selling and marketing during the three months ended September 30, 2009. A decrease in our selling and marketing expenses is mainly a net effect of the following factors; i) a decrease in average total capacity of our retail stores by 21% compared to the number of stores as of September 30, 2010; and ii) a decrease in average salaries of our sales staff in the three months ended September 30, 2010 by 43% as compared to average salaries in the three months ended September 30, 2009. As denominated in PLN selling and marketing expenses decreased by 17%.

27


  • Administrative Costs. Administrative expenses were $122,000 2% of net sales) and $357,000 (5% of net sales) in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. As denominated in PLN, administrative costs decreased by 67%. A decrease in our general administration expenses was mainly due to the decrease in the salaries of our administrative personnel.

Gain (loss) on disposal of property and equipment. Loss on disposal of fixed assets amounted to $421,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. In the three months ended September 30, 2009, there was a loss on the sale of fixed assets amounting to $41,000. The higher cost of disposal of fixed assets is related to closures of retail outlets that were not fully depreciated as of the time of their closure. There were 9 retail outlet closures during the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 4 closures during the same period in 2009.

Gain on transactions in foreign currency. The gain on transactions in foreign currency amounted to $728,000 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010. In the same period in 2009, we had a gain on transactions in foreign currency amounting to $9,000. The increase in gain on transactions in foreign currency by $719,000 is a result of higher depreciation of the US dollar compared to the Polish zloty during the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Revenues. Our net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $14,479,000 (including foreign operations), which is $5,532, 000 or 28% lower than for the same period in 2009, during which we had net revenues of $20,011,000. Such decrease was partially offset by the depreciation of USD to PLN by 5.2% . Net revenues, as denominated in PLN, dropped by 31%, which is the effect of a decrease in sales in our Polish retail network. Our foreign network sales remains stable as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in sales was the total effect of a decrease of average retail prices (in particular during the first quarter of 2010) and a decrease in total quantity of apparel sold. The lower prices is a result of higher discounts to sell out slow moving inventory. The lower quantity sold is a result of i) lower inventory levels at our retail outlets resulting from poor liquidity; ii) the decrease in the number of our retail outlets by 21% and; iii) lower demand for our apparel as a result of the economic slowdown in Poland.

Gross Profit as a Percentage of Total Revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The cumulative decrease of the gross margin as a percentage of revenue was principally due to a decrease in our retail prices during the first half of 2010; our retail prices dropped by approximately 23% in the first half of 2010. The lower gross profit as percentage of total revenue is also a result of lower purchase discounts received from our suppliers due to lower volume on our purchase orders.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $8,183,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $12,069,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, which was a decrease of $3,886,000 or 32%. There was a drop of 45% of gross margin in the Polish retail network, and a 20% decrease in gross margin in our foreign network. The decrease is a result of lower net revenues.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses consist of the following expenses: selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. Our total operating expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, amounted to $11,520,000 which is $1,530,000 or 11.7%, less than that of the nine months ended September 30, 2009, during which we had operating expenses of $13,050,000. The decrease in our operating expenses would be higher if we take into consideration a depreciation of USD to PLN by 5.2% . As denominated in PLN, total operating expenses dropped by 16%. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly due to a decrease in selling and marketing expenses.

29


  • Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $10,586 ,000 (73% of net sales), $1,261,000 or nearly 11% less than the $11,847,000 (59% of net sales) that we spent on selling and marketing during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. A decrease in our selling and marketing expenses is mainly a net effect of the following factors: i) a decrease in average rental costs due to depreciation of the Euro to the Polish zloty by 5.2%; ii) a decrease in average total capacity of our retail stores by 21%; and iii) a decrease in average salaries of our sales staff by 12%. As denominated in PLN selling and marketing expenses decreased by 15%

  • Administrative Costs. Administrative expenses were $934,000(6% of net sales) and $1,203,000 (6% of net sales) in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. As denominated in PLN, administrative costs decreased by 26%. A decrease in our general administration expenses was mainly due to the decrease in salaries of our administrative personnel.

Gain (loss) on disposal of property and equipment. Loss on disposal of fixed assets amounted to $856,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, there was a loss on the sale of fixed assets amounting to $43,000. The higher cost of disposal of fixed assets is related to closures of retail outlets that were not fully depreciated as of their dates of closure. There were 24 retail outlet closures during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 13 closures during the same period in 2009.

Interest Expense and Financing Costs. Interest expenses was $453,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2010, and $444 ,000 for the same period in 2009. An increase in total interest expense in 2010, as compared to 2009, is flattened by changes of translation rate of PLN to USD. As denominated in PLN the interest expenses decreased by PLN 47 or 3%. The decrease in interest expense is predominantly explained by lower amount long term loan capital to be repaid.

Loss on transactions in foreign currency. The loss on transactions in foreign currency amounted to $129,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. In the same period in 2009, we had a loss on transactions in foreign currency amounting to $2,000. The decrease in loss on transactions in foreign currency by $127,000 is a result of appreciation of the US dollar compared to the Polish zloty as of September 30, 2010 as compared to December 31, 2009. The increase in foreign exchange rate of USD to PLN resulted in the increase in long-term debt denominated in U.S. dollars. This was a primary reason for the recognition of unrealized foreign exchange losses on our income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Income taxes. Income tax benefit accounted for 27.4% of pre-tax income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 19.5% of pre-tax income for the same period in 2009. We had an income tax benefit of $1,298,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to income tax benefit of $285,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The tax benefit of $1,298,000 is due to the taxable losses for the nine months of 2010. We expect this benefit to offset to income tax liabilities that will be due for fiscal 2010.

30


Net income/loss from continuing operations We had a net loss from continuing operations of $3,434,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and a net loss from continuing operations of $1,174,000 for the same period in 2009. The decrease of $2,260,000 in the net income was principally due to lower net sales as compared to the prior year. Our operating costs did not decrease in line with our net sales which is primarily a result of high operating leverage, resulting mainly from our lease agreements denominated in Euro.

Net income/loss from discontinued operations We had net income from discontinued operations of $6,321,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and a net loss from discontinued operations of $667,000 for the same period in 2009. The net income from discontinuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is made up of a net operating loss of $509,000 and a gain on disposal of production facility held for sale of $6,831,000,.

Net income/loss (profit after taxes). We had a net income of $2,887,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and a net loss of $1,841,000 for the same period in 2009. An increase of $4,728,000 in net income was principally due to gain on disposal of production facility held for sale.

Current assets. Current assets as of September 30, 2010 amounted to $7,278,000. Current assets as of December 31, 2009 amounted to $9,482,000. The decrease of $2,204,000 or 23%, is mainly the result of recording a sale of current-assets resulting from the sale of Fashion Service to a third party. Current-assets held for sale amounted to $3,653,000 as of December 31, 2009. Excluding current assets held for sale, we had an increase in prepared expenses and other current assets amounted to $1,348,000 and decrease in inventory amounted to $377,000.

A decrease in inventories is a detrimental effect of our liquidity problems resulting in supply delays and decrease the level of inventory below needed level. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets is a result of recognition of current tax benefit due to significant losses for the six months period ended September, 30, 2010.

Non-current assets. Non-current assets as of September 30, 2010 amounted to $7,527,000. Non-current assets as of December 31, 2009 amounted to $16,164,000. A decrease of $8,637,000 or 53%, is primarily the result of recording a sale of long-lived assets in the transaction of the sale of Fashion Service. Long-lived assets held for sale amounted to $7,694,000 as of December 31, 2009. Additionally long-lived assets decreased due to retail outlets closures which took place during nine months of 2010. We had 69 shops in operation as of September 30, 2010, while there were 88 shops in operation as of December 31, 2009.

Excluding non-current assets for sale, non-current assets as of September 30, 2010 decreased by $943,000 as compared to December 31, 2009. The major reason for this change is the fluctuation in the PLN/USD foreign exchange rate. The balance sheet foreign exchange rate as of December 31, 2009 was 2.8503 PLN/USD, compared to 2.9250 PLN/USD as of September 30, 2010. Beside the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuation there was a $402,000 decrease in property and equipment and a $466,000 decrease in long term investment. A decrease in fixed assets is a result of liquidation of retail outlets and depreciation. A decrease in long term investment is a result of decrease in a total balance of deposits paid to landlords, also connected with shops closures.

Current liabilities. Current liabilities as of September 30, 2010 amounted to $13,620,000. Current liabilities as of December 31, 2009 amounted to $19,020,000. The decrease of $5,400,000 or 28%, is partly a result of recording a sale of long-lived assets in the sale of Fashion Service. Current liabilities associated with assets held for sale amounted to $9,808,000 as of December 31, 2009. Moreover, our current liabilities increased from January 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010 by $4,408,000 (13,583,000 PLN). This increase is the result of the decrease in payments of our debts as a consequence of the reduction in our liquidity.

32


There was an increase in short term borrowings of $243,000 (PLN 714,000), an increase in accounts payable of $2,551,000 (PLN 7,711,000) and an increase in current portion of long term debts of $694,000 (PLN 2,166,000) during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in short term borrowings is a result of cash proceed due to borrowing of short term note payable. The increase in accounts payable is mainly a result of worsening liquidity and our inability to pay our current debts. The increase in current portion of long term debt payable is a result of: i) our long term debt payment schedule and significant long term debts to be paid in the first half of the year 2011 and; ii) an increase of foreign exchange rate of PLN/USD (since approximately half of long term debts are denominated in USD).

Non-Current liabilities. Non-current liabilities as of September 30, 2010 amounted to $4,449,000. Non-current liabilities as of December 31, 2009 amounted to $12,832,000. The decrease of $8,383,000, or 65%, is a result of recording a sale of non-current liabilities in the sale of Fashion Service. Non-current liabilities held for sale amounted to $7,753,000 as of December 31, 2009. Our non-current liabilities decreased from January 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010 by $630,000 (1,728,000 PLN) which is mainly a consequence of movement between long-term and short-term debt in regard to the payments schedule. Besides, an additional provision was recorded for cost associated with a lost legal defense versus a claim from an owner of Karlovy Vary shopping mall in Czech Republic for a payment of overdue rents from a year 2001

Stockholders' equity. Total stockholders' deficiency as of September 30, 2010 amounted to $3,264,000. Stockholders' deficiency as of December 31, 2009 amounted to $6,207,000. The increase of $2,943,000 is mainly a result of: i) an increase in our net profit as a consequence of the sale of Fashion Service; and ii) an increase in our operating loss for the nine months period ended September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statements periods presented in this report. Our principal uses of cash are for payments on current liabilities, capital expenditures and repayments on long term borrowings.

Cash provided by operations was $371,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. To provide this cash in light of net income of $2,887,000 for the nine month period, we reversed a gain on the disposal of our production facility held for sale of $6,831,000 and reversed depreciation of $500,000. We experienced an increase in non-cash net operating assets of $1,471,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Accounts receivable increased by $706,000, which also led to a decrease in operating cash flows. Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by $1,183,000 as a consequence of the increase in prepaid current tax credit, which led to a decrease in net operating cash flow. We also experienced an increase in its trade accounts payable and other liabilities of $4,427,000 due to of the decrease in payments of debts, which led to an increase in cash flows from operations.

34


We need to fully eliminate negative working capital, and over the next twelve months we will not be able finance our net loss by speeding-up the collections of its accounts receivable and reducing inventory balance on hand. We should, however, have the ability to delay the payment of certain of its operating liabilities so as to continue in operation for the next twelve months. We are also seeking $3,000,000 of additional trade credit from its suppliers in China. There is a possibility, however, that we may not be able to obtain any of this additional financing. Our management has various plans for increasing the profitability and cash flows of the Company as discussed above in the section titled "Overview". Each of our plans carries significant uncertainty as to their achievability and there are risks that they may actually decrease profitability and cash flows. Several of our plans are particularly risky in the near term, even if they may ultimately be successful in the long-term, because investment in additional working capital and leasehold improvements are required in the short-term. In addition, even our existing facilities will require some capital expenditures to replace depreciated property and equipment. Consequently, there is a significant risk that we will be unable to continue our operations through December 31, 2010.

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $371,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $1,256 ,000 used in operating activities during the same period in 2009. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was mainly due to worse of operating loss.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was $573,000 as compared to $1,190,000 net cash used in investing activities for the same period in 2009. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was mainly a result of lower investments in new shops made during the year 2010 as compared to the year 2009.

Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $69,000, as compared to $774,000 net cash used in financing activities during the same period in 2009. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to the lower repayment of long term debt and proceed from short term borrowing in April 2010.

Repayments of Debt. Repayments of debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $152,000, compared to repayments of $683,000 made in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in the repayment of long term debt is a result of our liquidity problems. This lower repayment of long term debt is agreed with our creditors. Part of our long term debt is denominated in PLN. As a result, variances in our net borrowings, repayment tends to be driven by changes in foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Liquidity

We currently expect to generate a positive net cash flow for fiscal year 2010. There can be no assurance that this estimate will prove to be accurate. Unforeseen events, including changes in our net income, or working capital requirements, could occur, which could cause our cash flow to vary significantly from this estimate.

Liquidity

Our current ratio was 0.53 as of September 30, 2010, and 0.50 as of December 31, 2009 (including current assets and liabilities held for sale). This increase of our current ratio is a result of sale of our production facility in the first quarter of 2010. An increase in our working capital between December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010 amounted to $3,196 and it was a direct effect of sale of production facility in March 2010.

35


Excluding current assets and liabilities held for sale, our current ratio was 0.53 as of September 30, 2010, and 0.63 as of December 31, 2009. A decrease in our current ratio, excluding current assets and liabilities held for sale, is a result of our increasing liquidity problems that escalate in the year 2010.

The sources of liquidity related to the sale of Fashion Service Sp. z o. o. include cash from the purchase consideration amounting to $16,000 and decreases in fixed cash outflows for production maintenance and payroll.

Working Capital

Our negative working capital is regarded as a serious going concern threat. Our negative working capital amounted to $6,522,000 and $9,538,000 including current assets and liabilities held for sale (or $3,384,000 excluding current assets and liabilities held for sale) as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. An increase in our working capital amounted to $3,196,000 (including current assets and liabilities held for sale). Excluding current assets and liabilities held for sale presented as of December 31, 2009, we had a decrease in working capital of $2,958,000. This decrease is a result of our increasing liquidity problems during 2010 as discussed above.

Debt

We plan to re-pay approximately $6,390,000 of long term notes in the years 2010 through 2013. We expect to be able to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to be able to pay these notes, however, we may not be able to achieve this. As of September 30, 2010, based on exchange rates in effect at that time, the principal payments due in future years total $303,000 for the remainder of 2010, $1,612,000 in 2011, $2,236,000 in 2012, and $2,176,000 in 2013.

According to decisions of Polish tax authorities issued in November 2009 regarding deferral of delinquent tax obligations of Sunset Suits S.A. amounting to $2,453,000, Sunset Suits S.A. is obliged to pay delinquent tax obligations up to November 2010 with total balloon payments amounting to $2,110,000 on November 2, 2010. Due to inability to pay this amount on October 29, 2010, management submitted a request for further deferral of the balloon payments of delinquent up to November 2011. Management believes that the request will be honored by the respective tax authorities.

Management took actions to mitigate the negative effect of the global financial crisis on the realization of our key strategies which include, among other things, the repayment of our debt. In order to safeguard our short and medium term liquidity, management applied for a trade credit with a maximum limit amounting to $3,000,000. This trade credit is applied with relation to our China supplies. The objectives of the loan application are:

  • Improvement of our future credit terms on import purchases; and

  • Improvement of our current liquidity ratios by applying for bank guarantees that would release our paid in deposits to our outlet landlords.

We are in the preliminary stages of our application so there is a possibility that we will not be successful in obtaining these loans.

36


Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures paid in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $525,000, compared with $ 1,213,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was the result of weaker liquidity and therefore our ability to invest in 7 new retail stores during the nine months ended September 30 2010 as compared to 8 new stores in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The average expenditures per store were $75,000 during nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $152,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Foreign Currency Exposure

Financial statement translation exposure

We use PLN as our functional currency. Transactions in currencies in other than PLN are translated into PLN at the exchange rates as of the specific transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than PLN as of the date of our balance sheet are translated into PLN at the exchange rates prevailing as of such date. All transaction differences are recorded in the income statement. Our consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. Foreign currency translation is accounted for in accordance with ASC 830 (formerly SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.”) Accordingly, all assets and liabilities are translated from PLN to USD at the exchange rates prevailing as of the date of the balance sheet and all income and expenditure items are translated at the average rates for each of the years presented. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation are accumulated as separate components of stockholders’ equity. The exchange rate adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the Polish National Bank.

The translation of PLN into USD has been made as follows:  
   
March 31, 2010  
Statement of income and comprehensive income PLN 2.8841 to US$1.00
   
March 31, 2009  
Statement of income and comprehensive income PLN 3.4420 to US$1.00

Operating Exposure

Most of our transactions are settled in PLN. Our financial results are susceptible to foreign currency exposure risk. As described in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report, part of our long term debt is denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, our financial results are exposed to the U.S. dollar to PLN foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Our operating expenses are also vulnerable to foreign currency exposure risk. As described in Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report, the majority of rental agreements for retail and factory outlet stores space are denominated in Euros. Therefore our operating results are exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Euro to the PLN.

Market Risk — interest and exchange rate sensitivity

Financial instruments held by us include cash equivalents and long-term debt. Interest rates on our long-term debt are variable. Accordingly, a change in rates would have an effect on our interest expense. Note 13, “Long-Term Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report outlines the principal amounts, interest rates and other terms required to evaluate the expected sensitivity of interest rate changes on the fair value of our variable rate long-term debt. Given our balance of long-term debt and the current interest rates on bank deposits, the effect of an even insignificant change in long-term interest rates on our interest cost would be material.

Cash and cash equivalents held by us are affected by short-term interest rates. Therefore, a change in short-term interest rates would have an impact on our interest income. Given our balance of cash and cash equivalents and the current interest rates on bank deposits, the effect of a change in short-term interest rates on our interest income would not be material.

Principally all of our revenue and expenses, except for retail space rentals, are currently denominated in PLN. Translation to U.S. dollars exposes us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the rate of exchange of the United States dollar against PLN.

Approximately 75% of our lease agreements require us to pay in Euros based on the exchange rate as of the day of payment, as is common in Polish agreements for rentals of retail outlets.

Moreover, certain of our long-term debts are denominated in United States dollars as presented in the Note 13, “Long-Term Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Accordingly, we are primary exposed to the exchange rate changes during and up to the day of the long-term debts payments, as well as we are exposed to the exchange rate changes at the balance sheet date. During times of a strengthening U. S. dollar, our result on transaction in foreign currency will be negatively impacted, and during times of a weakening U. S. dollar, our result on transaction in foreign currency will be favorably impacted.

Our foreign wholesale operations are denominated in PLN. Therefore we are not directly exposed to the change of foreign exchange rates of other currencies to PLN. An increase in PLN could make our products less competitive to foreign buyers while a decrease in PLN could make us more competitive.

Seasonality

Like most other retail businesses, our business is seasonal. The best month for sales is December, in which our total non-discounted sales increase. The last quarter of the year is the best period of the year in terms of sales, as customers purchase coats, occasional suits and business suits from our autumn-winter collection. We also typically experience increased sales during the March and April, when consumers typically purchase menswear for various special occasions including weddings, first communion and other special events. During these periods of increased sales, products are typically sold without discounts.

We reduce our prices during the summer, fall and winter in order to encourage sales. As a result, our margins are reduced during these seasons. In order to make up for these reduced margins, we will often create special collections which we sell at higher prices during the summer and fall.

Concentration Risk

We have no significant concentration risk regarding our revenues. Over 95% of total revenues are generated through retail sales to individual customers.

We have no significant concentration risk regarding suppliers and accounts payable. We operate with several suppliers who do not have a significant bargaining power on our operations.

Inflation

Inflationary factors, such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs, could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales revenue if the selling prices of our apparel do not increase with these increased costs.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

Guarantees to landlords

The Company provides cash deposits to Landlords for rent facilities. These deposits are returned upon the end of lease period. The landlords require cash deposit to be paid in advance as a substitute for bank guarantees. Therefore, according to its lease agreements the Group is required to pay the whole deposit before it starts to operate the leased retail outlets. Due to poor liquidity, the Group was unable to satisfy all of its agreements with landlords and did not provide for the whole deposits as required. As of September 30, 2010, there were $698 of deposits that were not provided by Sunset Suits S.A.. If not paid timely, the respective landlords bear a right to dissolve the agreement with Sunset Suits S.A.. Currently Management is under discussion with landlords to delay the date the total deposit is fully paid.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:

39


Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at amounts management expects to be collected, net of trade discounts and an allowance for estimated sales returns.

Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. None of Sunset Suits Holding, Inc., Sunset Suits S.A., , Bohemia s.r.o., UAB Sunset Suits Vilnius, SIA Sunset Riga and OU Posnania have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure to any of their customers.

Inventories and Cost of Sales

Inventories are valued at the lower of either cost or market. We reduces the carrying cost of inventories for obsolete or slow moving items as necessary to properly reflect the inventory’s net realizable value. The cost elements included in inventory consist of all direct costs of merchandise (net of purchase discounts and vendor allowances), allocated overhead (primarily design and indirect production costs), inbound freight and import fees.

Cost of sales includes the inventory cost elements listed above as well as warehouse outbound freight and internally transferred merchandise freight. Our cost of sales may not be comparable to those of other entities, since some entities include all of the costs associated with their distribution functions in cost of sales while we includes these costs in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Property, Plant, Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements recorded at the inception of a lease are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter; for improvements made during the lease term, the amortization period is the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term (including any renewal periods that are deemed to be reasonably assured). Property under capital leases is amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter.

The exact historical cost of buildings, machinery and equipment and leasehold improvements acquired prior to 2006, substantially all of which (except leasehold improvements, that were acquired in the 2000s) were acquired in the mid to late 1990s, could not be reasonably determined due to a lack of accounting documentation. For buildings and machinery and equipment groups of tangible fixed assets, all of which were acquired in the mid to late 1990s, the historical cost was estimated using, as a starting point, an engineer’s estimate of the historical cost of past investment. Management is of the opinion that this valuation is the reasonable estimation of historical cost for these groups of tangible fixed assets. For leasehold improvements, all of which were acquired in the 2000s, historical cost was recreated by identifying all bills and invoices related to retail outlets fittings, even if, they were not properly recorded in the accounting system in the past.

40


Operating Leases

Total rent payments under operating leases that include scheduled payment increases and rent holidays are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rent expense on our buildings and retail stores is classified as an SG&A expense and, for certain stores, includes contingent rents that are based on a percentage of retail sales over stated levels. Landlord allowances are amortized by the straight-line method over the original term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense.

Foreign Currency Translation

We use the Polish zloty (PLN) as our functional currency. Transactions in currencies during the year in other than PLN are translated into PLN at the exchange rates as of the specific transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than PLN as of the date of the balance sheet are translated into PLN at the exchange rates prevailing as of such date. All transaction differences are recorded in the income statement.

Our consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. Foreign currency translation is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” (now ASC 830-10). Accordingly, all assets and liabilities are translated from PLN to USD at the exchange rates prevailing as of the date of the balance sheet and all income and expenditure items are translated at the average rates for each of the years presented. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive income. The exchange rates adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the Polish National Bank.

Use of estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, depreciation, intangible asset valuations and useful lives, goodwill impairments, employee benefit plans, environmental accruals, taxes and contingencies. These estimates may be adjusted as more information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance to change financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities (VIEs). The standard replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a VIE with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a VIE and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive the entity’s residual returns. This accounting standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements and has determined there will be no impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q.
