Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) |
The unaudited information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The financial information contained herein represents condensed financial data and, therefore, does not include all footnote disclosures required to be included in financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Footnote information was included in the financial statements included in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed financial data included herein should be read in conjunction with the information in the Annual Report. |
|
|
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company experienced operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 which the Company was able to fund from bank financing currently in place. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue to operate as a going concern. Although no assurances can be given, the Company believes that attaining adequate sales revenue, continuing the current program of cost control initiatives, and maintaining cash requirements within the amended revolving credit agreement terms will enable the Company to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or l iabilities or any other adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to operate as a going concern in its present form. |
|
At December 31, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Tangible Net Worth ratio as required by its 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended. The Company's bank lender waived that requirement as of and for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 through a Bank Waiver dated March 19, 2002. The Company also was not in compliance with the Minimum Tangible Net Worth ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 as required by the 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement. On May 7, 2002, the Company entered into an Eighth Amendment of the 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Eighth Amendment"). The Eighth Amendment modified the 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement by, among other things, extending the termination date of the 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement to June 25, 2003; reducing the maximum amount of revolving advances to $23,000,000 from $25,000,000; and revising the minimum Tangible Net Worth covenants for the quarters ending March 31, 2002, June 30, 2002, September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2002. The Eighth Amendment also provides for a seasonal overadvance of $1,500,000 for the period July 1, 2002 through October 15, 2002 (the "Seasonal Overadvance") and requires that John Tulin, President and a director of the Company, and Marshall Tulin, Chairman and a director of the Company, furnish to the Bank a guaranty, in an amount not to exceed $750,000, to secure the repayment of the Seasonal Overadvance. |
|
During the past two years, the Company has embarked on a number of initiatives designed to reduce costs and increase its competitiveness. These actions have, among others, included closing the Company's costume jewelry manufacturing facilities in both the United States and Costa Rica in 2000 and 2001, respectively; selling and leasing back the Company's Norwalk, Connecticut belt manufacturing facility during the second quarter of 2001; and selling certain assets associated with and discontinuing the remainder of the Company's women's costume jewelry business during the third quarter of 2001 (see Note 6). In addition, the Company received refunds of $3,024,000 and $2,251,000 in April 2002 and April 2001, respectively, from the Internal Revenue Service for federal income taxes paid in prior years. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $1,215,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 to reflect additional income taxes recoverable from the Internal Revenue Service for federal income taxes pai d in prior years as a result of a tax law change which was effective in March 2002. The Company received this refund on July 30, 2002. |

Segment Information. As further described in Note 6 below, during the third quarter of 2001, the Company completed the sale of certain assets pertaining to its women's costume jewelry division and discontinued its remaining women's jewelry businesses. Accordingly, the Company now has only one reportable segment. |

Bank financing. At December 31, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Tangible Net Worth ratio as required by its 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended. The Company's bank lender waived that requirement as of and for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 through a Bank Waiver dated March 19, 2002. |
The Company was also not in compliance with the Minimum Tangible Net Worth ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 as required by the 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement. On May 7, 2002, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment which modified the 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement by, among other things, extending the termination date of the 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement to June 25, 2003; reducing the maximum amount of revolving advances to $23,000,000 from $25,000,000; and revising the minimum Tangible Net Worth covenants for the quarters ending March 31, 2002, June 30,, 2002, September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2002. The Eighth Amendment also provides for a seasonal overadvance of $1,500,000 for the period July 1, 2002 through October 15, 2002. John Tulin, President and a director of the Company, and Marshall Tulin, Chairman and a director of the Company, have furnished to the bank a guaranty, in an amount not to exceed $750,000, to secure the repayment of the Seasonal Overadvance. |

Discontinued Operations. On July 23, 2001, the Company disposed of certain of its women's costume jewelry division's assets pursuant to an Agreement dated July 10, 2001 (the "Agreement") between the Company and K&M Associates L.P. ("K&M"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company sold to K&M inventory, accounts receivable and miscellaneous other assets relating to the Company's Anne Klein, Anne Klein II, Guess?, and certain private label women's costume jewelry businesses. The purchase price paid by K&M to the Company at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement was approximately $4,600,000. K&M also assumed the Company's interest in its respective license agreements with Anne Klein, a division of Kasper A.S.L., Ltd., and Guess? Licensing Inc. and certain specified liabilities. The cash portion of the purchase price was subject to adjustment. In connection with the sale to K&M, the Company and K&M entered into an agreement whereby the Company provided certain operational and administrative services to and on behalf of K&M for a period of time extending from the closing date through December 31, 2001 (the "Transition Agreement"). Under the terms of the Transition Agreement, the Company was reimbursed by K&M for its direct costs associated with performing the transition services. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $2,654,000 and $4,222,000 respectively, net of income taxes of $0 for both periods. In connection with the disposal of its women's costume jewelry business, the Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $5,957,000 net of income tax benefit of $810,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, of which $5,209,000 net of income taxes of $0 was recorded during the quarter ending June 30, 2001. The components of the charge for the 12 months ended December 31, 2001 are set forth in the following table: |
Description |
Amount |
Difference between net book value of assets sold and cash proceeds received |
$2,748,000 |

$6,767,000 |

(810,000) |
Total loss on disposition |
$5,957,000 |
The disposition of the women's jewelry business represents the disposal of a business segment under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30. Accordingly, the results of this operation have been classified as discontinued, and prior periods have been restated with certain fixed overhead charges reallocated to the remaining Men's Accessories business segment. Proceeds from the sale of assets to K&M were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement during the third quarter of 2001.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Overview |
As part of its strategy to focus on its core strength in the men's accessories business, the Company disposed of certain of its women's costume jewelry assets on July 23, 2001 pursuant to the Agreement between the Company and K&M. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company sold to K&M inventory, accounts receivable and miscellaneous other assets relating to the Company's Anne Klein, Anne Klein II, Guess?, and certain private label women's costume jewelry businesses. The purchase price paid by K&M to the Company at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement was approximately $4,600,000. K&M also assumed the Company's interest in its respective license agreements with Anne Klein, a division of Kasper A.S.L., Ltd., and Guess? Licensing Inc. and certain specified liabilities. The cash portion of the purchase price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. In connection with the sale to K&M, the Company and K&M entered into the Transition Agre ement whereby the Company provided certain operational and administrative services to and on behalf of K&M for a period of time extending from the closing date through December 31, 2001. Under the terms of the Transition Agreement, the Company was reimbursed by K&M for its direct costs associated with performing the transition services. |
APB Opinion No. 30 requires that the results of continuing operations be reported separately from those of discontinued operations for all periods presented and that any loss on disposal of a segment of a business be reported in conjunction with the related results of discontinued operations. Accordingly, the Company has restated its results from operations for all prior periods presented. The Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $2,654,000 net of income taxes of $0 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company also recorded a non-recurring charge of $5,957,000 net of income tax benefit of $810,000, to reflect the difference between the net book value and the cash proceeds received for the assets sold to K&M; a valuation adjustment associated with certain inventory not sold to K&M; a provision for the remaining obligations under certain license agreements not assigned to K&M; and accruals for other expenses directly as sociated to the disposition including legal and broker's fees (see Note 6). |
The Company is currently engaged in the manufacture, sale and distribution of men's belts, leather accessories, suspenders, and men's jewelry. These products are sold both domestically and internationally, principally through department stores, and also through specialty stores and mass merchandisers. The Company operates a number of factory outlet stores primarily to distribute excess and out of line merchandise. |
Results of Operations |
As is customary in the fashion accessories industry, the Company makes modifications to its lines coinciding with the Spring (approximately January -- June) and Fall (approximately July -- December) seasons. The Company believes that results of operations are more meaningful on a seasonal basis than on a quarterly basis. The timing of shipments can be affected by the availability of materials, retail sales, and fashion trends. These factors may shift volume between quarters within a season differently in one year than in another. Due to seasonality and other factors, the results of the quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. |
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) |
Net Sales |
Net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $2,618,000 and $3,782,000 or 12.9% and 9.4% respectively, compared to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 was primarily due to increased shipments of the Company's Tommy Hilfiger branded merchandise including men's belts and personal leather goods, offset in part by reduced shipments in certain private label programs. The Company launched its Tommy Hilfiger collection to the retail trade in May 2001. The decrease in private label shipments was primarily due to the cautious attitude of retail buyers during the first quarter following a disappointing 2001 holiday season. Net sales of the Company's men's jewelry category increased 45.6% and 22.5% for the quarter and six months ending June 30, 2002. The increase was mainly due to higher shipments of the Company's Kenneth Cole merchandise and certain private label jewelry collections. The Company i ntroduced new packaging and styling for certain of its jewelry lines this spring which resulted in an increase in orders for both the quarter and six months ending June 30, 2002.

Selling and Administrative Expenses |
Selling and administrative expenses decreased $293,000 or 3.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and increased $73,000 or 0.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. |
Selling expenses increased $590,000 or 12.1% and $1,065,000 or 10.8% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2001. Selling expenses expressed as a percentage of net sales were 23.9% and 24.9% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to 24.1% and 24.6% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. The increase in selling expenses was mainly due to increases in advertising and promotion expenses and other variable selling and distribution costs. Certain of the Company's fixed occupancy expenses had been absorbed by the women's jewelry division prior to its sale in 2001. |
|
Net interest expense decreased by $17,000 or 5.6% and $147,000 or 21.3% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower average borrowings and a reduction in the Company's average borrowing costs compared to 2001. The Company reduced outstanding borrowings in 2001 with the proceeds of the sale of its Norwalk manufacturing facility during the second quarter of 2001 and, as further discussed in Footnote 6, from the sale of its women's costume jewelry business. |
|
The Company has received refunds from the Internal Revenue Service aggregating $4,415,000 relating to federal income taxes paid in prior years, including $3,200,000 during the first quarter and $1,215,000 during the second quarter. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1,215,000 on the consolidated pre-tax loss during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as a result of a change in tax law that permits the Company to carryback operating losses to additional years. The Company recorded no income tax benefit on the consolidated pretax loss for the quarter or six months ended June 30, 2001. At December 31, 2001, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset of $9,964,000 to reduce the asset to its estimated net realizable value. Based upon the projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the temporary differences that created the deferred tax asset are anticipated to reverse, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will rea lize the benefit of these deductible temporary differences, net of the valuation allowance. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted in the future if estimates of taxable income are revised based on actual results. |

Revenues and expenses directly associated with the women's costume jewelry business have been presented as discontinued operations. Certain general administrative costs and shared fixed costs including rents, depreciation, professional fees, utilities, and other occupancy costs that the Company has historically allocated to its operating divisions based on revenue or space utilization have not been allocated to discontinued operations unless the expenses were assumed to be reduced in the future as a result of the disposition. |
Interest expense was eliminated under the assumption that the cash proceeds from the sale of certain of the women's costume jewelry division's assets were used to eliminate outstanding borrowings under the existing credit facility related to the women's costume jewelry division assets sold. |
The net loss from discontinued operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 was $7,863,000 and $9,431,000, respectively. As discussed in Note 6, the Company recorded a loss in 2001 on the disposition of its women's jewelry division of $5,957,000 of which $5,209,000 was recorded in the second quarter. The loss on disposition consists of the difference between the net book value of the assets sold and the cash proceeds received from K&M; a provision for additional reserves on the remaining women's jewelry assets not sold to K&M; accruals for remaining payments on license and lease agreements not assigned or transferred to K&M; and other fees and expenses directly attributable to the disposition including legal and broker's expenses. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources |
As is customary in the fashion accessories industry, substantial percentages of the Company's sales and earnings occur in the months of September, October and November, during which the Company makes significant shipments of its products to retailers for sale during the holiday season. As a result, accounts receivable peak in the fourth quarter. The Company builds its inventory during the year to meet the demand for the holiday season. The required cash is provided by a revolving credit facility. |
Item 2 Management's discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) |
At December 31, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Tangible Net Worth ratio as required by its 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company's bank lender subsequently waived those requirements as of and for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. The Company also was not in compliance with the Minimum Tangible Net Worth ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 as required by the 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement. On May 7, 2002, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment of its 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement which, among other things, extended the termination date of the 1998 Revolving Credit Agreement to June 25, 2003; reduced the maximum amount of revolving advances to $23,000,000 from $25,000,000; and revised the minimum Tangible Net Worth covenants for the quarters ending March 31, 2002, June 30, 2002, September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2002. The Eighth Amendment also provides for a seasonal overadvance of $1,500,000 for the period July 1, 2002 through October 15 , 2002. John Tulin, President and a director of the Company, and Marshall Tulin, Chairman and a director of the Company have furnished to the Bank a guaranty, in an amount not to exceed $750,000, to secure the repayment of the Seasonal Overadvance (see Note 5). |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company experienced operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2001 which the Company was able to fund from bank financing currently in place and from the proceeds of certain transactions including the sale of its Norwalk, CT manufacturing facility and, as further described in Note 6, the sale of its women's costume jewelry division. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue to operate as a going concern. The Company's success going forward will be dependent on, among other things, attaining adequate sales revenue; continuing the current program of cost control initiatives; maintaining cash flow within its amended revolving credit agreement; and ultimately, returning to profitability. FONT> |
Although no assurances can be given, the Company believes that attaining adequate sales revenue, continuing the current program of cost control initiatives, and maintaining cash requirements within the amended revolving credit agreement terms will enable the Company to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or liabilities or any other adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to operate as a going concern in its present form. |
The Company's working capital decreased by $2,097,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to a decrease of $7,347,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. |
Cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $7,954,000 compared to cash used of $1,134,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Cash used in operations in 2002 consisted primarily of the consolidated net loss and seasonal reductions in accounts receivable reserves, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities, offset in part by decreases in accounts receivable, inventory and income taxes recoverable. Accounts receivable reserves decreased due to actual charges processed year-to-date for cash discounts, in-store markdowns, cooperative advertising, and customer returns primarily relating to commitments made during 2001. Cash used in operations for the same period last year was principally due to the consolidated net loss for the period, after giving effect to the loss on disposition of the Company's women's jewelry business, and reductions in accounts receivable, inventory and income taxes recoverable, offset by decreases in accounts payable and other current l iabilities. |
Cash provided by investing activities of $2,252,000 resulted mainly from the surrender of life insurance policies the proceeds of which were used to fund withdrawals from the Company's 1993 Deferred Compensation Plan (the "1993 Plan"), and the sale of a common stock investment. On July 22, 2002, the Company determined that it would terminate the 1993 Plan, surrender the remaining life insurance policies, and distribute vested benefits to participants. The Company anticipates that the final termination of the 1993 Plan and distribution of benefits will be completed no later than August 22, 2002. |
