NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Accounting Principles

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.   Certain amounts have been reclassified in the fiscal 2011 financial statements to conform to the fiscal 2012 presentation, including recasting business segment information to allocate certain distribution costs to each reportable segment.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates that affect the reported value of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.  These estimates are based on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for our conclusions.  We continually evaluate the information used to make these estimates as the business and economic environment change, including evaluation of events subsequent to the end of the quarter through the financial statements issuance date.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  Such differences could have a material impact on our future financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Historically, our first and second quarter sales and operating results reflect a seasonal increase compared to the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year.  Sales and operating results for the first three months of fiscal 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2012.

Note 2 - Fair Value Measurements

We measure fair values using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 inputs), quoted prices for similar instruments in active or inactive markets, or other directly-observable factors (Level 2 inputs), or inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement (Level 3 inputs).  Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash, trade receivables and payables, and our credit facility.  The carrying values of cash and trade receivables and payables are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.  Our credit facility, which was entered into effective August 25, 2011, bears interest at floating market interest rates; therefore, we believe the fair value of amounts borrowed approximates the carrying value.  At September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, no other material assets or liabilities were measured at fair value.

 Note 3 - Business Segment Information

We sell our products through virtually all major retail distribution channels throughout North America, including mass merchants, national chain stores, department stores, specialty stores, catalog retailers, golf pro shops, sporting goods stores, and the retail exchange operations of the United States military.  Our business segments are based on product categories: (1) accessories, which includes belts and small leather goods and (2) gifts.  Each segment is measured by management based on income consisting of net sales less cost of goods sold, product distribution expenses, and royalties utilizing accounting policies consistent in all material respects with those described in Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  No inter-segment revenue is recorded.  Assets, related depreciation and amortization, and selling, general and administrative expenses are not allocated to the segments.

Note 4 - Credit Arrangements     

Effective August 25, 2011, we entered into a new revolving credit facility of up to $35 million which expires in August 2015.  At September 30, 2011, we had $1.1 million borrowing availability based on our accounts receivable and inventory levels, outstanding letters of credit totaling $367,500, and $23.6 million outstanding borrowings under the facility.  Borrowings and letters of credit bear interest at either the daily three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.75% or a fixed LIBOR rate for three months plus 3.75%.

The credit facility is guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries.  It requires the maintenance of a specified profitability and fixed charge coverage and a minimum availability, which, if not met, could adversely impact our liquidity.  The facility contains customary representations and warranties and we have agreed to certain affirmative covenants, including reporting requirements.  The facility also limits our ability to engage in certain actions without the lender’s consent, including, repurchasing our common stock, entering into certain mergers or consolidations, guaranteeing or incurring certain debt, engaging in certain stock or asset acquisitions, paying dividends, making certain investments in other entities, prepaying debt, and making certain property transfers.

The maximum line of credit under the credit facility, which includes the revolver and letters of credit, is $35 million.  The credit facility is asset-based and the available line of credit may be limited pursuant to certain borrowing base limitations, including (1) the amount of certain of our eligible accounts, (2) the amount of our eligible accounts with our largest customer, (3) the value of our eligible inventory, which is more specifically determined in part based on specific periods during our fiscal year, and (4) the amount of our borrowing base reserve.

Our previous $27.5 million credit facility for borrowings and letters of credit was set to expire in October 2012 and bore interest at the daily adjusting one-month LIBOR rate plus 4.5% or, if such rate was not available under the terms of the credit facility note, the lender’s prime rate plus 2%.  This facility was terminated on August 25, 2011 and all borrowings were paid and obligations were fulfilled.

Our Canadian subsidiary had a CAD $1.4 million credit facility (direct advances limited to U.S. $1.1 million) with interest at the lender’s prime or U.S. base rates.  The facility was secured by cash, credit balances, and/or deposit instruments of CAD $1.4 million.  In connection with our new $35 million credit facility, this facility was terminated and all borrowings were paid and obligations were fulfilled.

Note 5 - Long-Term Incentive Awards

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we issued 990,000 performance units comprised 50% of cash and 50% of phantom shares of our common stock, to certain employees.  Each unit has a $1.00 assigned value and the number of phantom shares of common stock attributable to each award was determined based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, which was $1.98 per share.  The units earned during the performance cycle (July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2013) vary from 0% to 200% of the units awarded based on our basic earnings per share for each of the two fiscal years ending June 30, 2013, excluding the effects of accounting principles changes, extraordinary items, recognized capital gains and losses and, as determined by our board of directors, one-time, non-operating items.  Assuming continued employment, if, at the end of the two-year performance cycle, at least the threshold performance level has been achieved, the performance units will cliff vest and, to the extent earned, will generally be settled in cash (if shares are available under our benefit plans, the Board may, in its discretion, settle the phantom shares attributable to an award in shares of our common stock).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, employees vest in 100% of the units awarded if there is a change in control or in a fraction of units earned based on the number of years employed during the performance cycle upon death, disability, or normal (age 65) or early (age 55 and 15 years service) retirement.  As of September 30, 2011, we expect 628,000 of the 990,000 units granted to vest (60,000 units were forfeited), which, based on the market price of our common stock on September 30, 2011, would be payable in cash equal to $500,000.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Item 2 should be read in the context of the information included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

BUSINESS

We are a leading designer and marketer of branded men’s, women’s and children’s accessories, including belts, gifts, and small leather goods.  Our merchandise is marketed under a broad portfolio of nationally recognized licensed and proprietary brand names, including TOTES®, WOLVERINE®, EDDIE BAUER®, THE SHARPER IMAGE®, EILEEN WEST®, ELIE TAHARI®, MISS ME®, HAGGAR®, BONE COLLECTOR®, LEVI STRAUSS SIGNATURE®, DOCKERS®, KODIAK®, TERRA®, ROLFS®, AMITY®, CANTERBURY®, PRINCE GARDNER®, PRINCESS GARDNER®, CHAMBERS BELT COMPANY®, ABSOLUTELY FRESH®, SURPLUS®, as well as private brands for major retail customers.  We sell our products through all major retail distribution channels throughout North America, including, without limitation, mass merchants, national chain stores, department stores, specialty stores, catalog retailers, golf pro shops, sporting goods stores, and the retail exchange operations of the United States military.  We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation on November 1, 1990.

Significant Events

In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we announced the execution of new licensing agreements with brands Elie Tahari® (accessories segment), Miss Me® (accessories segment), and The Sharper Image® (gifts segment).  Under the terms of the agreements, we will distribute belts or gifts among a wide array of channels, including but not limited to, national retail and department stores, clubs and specialty and boutique stores.  Revenues from these new licenses are expected to benefit results in the second half of calendar 2012.

Effective August 25, 2011, we replaced our $27.5 million credit facility with a $35 million credit facility expiring August 2015.  The credit facility is guaranteed by substantially all of our and our subsidiaries assets, and requires a specified profitability and fixed charge coverage and a minimum availability.  We believe this facility will provide us with sufficient availability to fund our operations in the foreseeable future and give us the additional flexibility to purchase inventory required to meet our organic growth expectations.

Our business segment information for fiscal 2011 has been recast to conform to the fiscal 2012 presentation as described in Note 1 of the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report incorporated herein by reference.

Net Sales and Gross Margins
Our fiscal 2012 first quarter net sales were $26.7 million, which was $2.5 million, or 9%, lower than the prior year.  Net sales for our accessories segment were $21.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, which was $4.9 million, or 18%, lower than the first quarter of fiscal 2011 primarily due to lower sales from recently exited product categories and lower levels of replenishment orders by one of our largest customers as part of its inventory reduction initiatives.  We believe the effects of the inventory reduction initiatives, which appear to have ended late in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, affected other suppliers as well.   Gifts segment net sales of $5.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $2.3 million, or 81% higher than in the prior year primarily due to increased holiday shipments resulting from new licenses announced and programs acquired in fiscal 2011.

Gross margins were 34.1% and 34.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Accessories segment margins decreased from 34.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to 33.9% in the current year as a result of changes in sales mix.  The gifts segment margin was 720 basis points lower in the fiscal 2012 first quarter compared to the same quarter last year primarily due to a higher mix of customer-direct shipments in the current year period.  Customer-direct shipments carry lower gross margins because these goods are shipped from our suppliers to our customers and are not handled in our distribution centers, reducing the associated selling, general and administrative costs.

Operating Expenses
Total segment operating expenses of $3.8 million were $1.9 million lower than the prior year ($5.7 million), and lower as a percentage of net sales, primarily due to decreases in compensation and facilities costs.  The increase in gifts segment operating expenses for the fiscal 2012 first quarter was primarily due to higher royalties as a result of higher sales for the current year period.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses of $9.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $2.7 million, or 23%, lower than the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The reductions were primarily due to decreases in expenses such as compensation costs, facilities costs, and professional services.

Interest and Taxes
Interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $181,000 higher than in the same quarter last year.  The increase was primarily attributable to higher borrowings and a $98,000 write-off of costs capitalized in connection with our previous credit facility which was terminated and replaced by a new one during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Information about our income taxes is incorporated herein by reference to Note 6 of the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

SEASONALITY

Historically, our first and second quarter sales and operating results reflect a seasonal increase compared to the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year.  Sales and operating results for the first three months of fiscal 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2012.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity, which we believe will provide adequate financial resources for our foreseeable working capital needs, are cash flows from operating activities and our credit facilities ($1.1 million borrowing availability at September 30, 2011).  Information about our credit facilities is incorporated herein by reference to Note 4 of the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

First quarter fiscal 2012 net cash used for operating activities was $5.3 million lower than in the prior year, primarily driven by the following:  $2.8 million lower current year accounts receivable due to lower sales and faster collections on receivables with our largest customer; $2.6 million lower current year inventory and other assets due to continued efforts to reduce our inventory levels; and $1.5 million higher funding of accounts payable and accrued expenses.
 
Investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily consisted of purchases of operating equipment for our distribution facilities.  Investing activities for the prior year primarily related to the purchase of additional racking and other various leasehold improvements for our distribution facilities.

Financing activities included credit facility net borrowings of $5.7 million and $12.2 million in the first quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively, used to fund our operating activities.  In connection with the termination of the Canadian subsidiary’s credit facility, the requirement to maintain compensating balances with the lender was eliminated, and the cash was used to pay down our outstanding debt balance.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.
