NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002 1. The Company and Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements of Everlast Worldwide Inc. (herein referred to as "we", "us, "our" and "the Company") presented herein as of June 30, 2003 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. Such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim periods or the full year ending December 31, 2003. The Company has reviewed the status of its legal contingencies and believes that there are no material changes from that disclosed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. 2. Earnings Per Share: We report basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). Basic earnings per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share amounts are based on an increased number of shares that would be outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options and contingent consideration pursuant to the merger agreement dated October 24, 2000. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share pursuant to SFAS No. 128: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, ----------------------------------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ----------------------------------------------- Numerator: Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share -- Net income available to common stockholders $ 111,159 $ 240,073 $ 127,035 $ 624,660 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per common share weighted average shares outstanding during the period 3,108,236 3,098,936 3,108,236 3,098,936 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Effect of diluted securities: Stock options 40,500 63,947 54,865 63,947 Contingent stock consideration related to a Merger 1,535,709 864,332 1,448,935 864,332 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 1,576,209 928,279 1,503,800 928,279 Denominator for diluted earnings per common share -- adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions 4,684,445 4,027,215 4,612,036 4,027,215 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Basic net income per common share $ 0.04 $ 0.08 $ 0.04 $ 0.20 ========== ========== ========== ========== Diluted net income per common share $ 0.02 $ 0.06 $ 0.03 $ 0.16 ========== ========== ========== ========== 6 3.

Reclassification: Certain items on the 2002 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2003 presentations. 5. Redeemable Participating Preferred Stock Dividend: The percentage of net income, as defined in the Company's October 24, 2000 Merger Agreement, to be paid to holders of Series A Redeemable Participating Preferred Stock ("the Preferred Stock") for the annual dividend is as follows: Twelve months ending December 31, 2003 51.9% 2004 44.4% 2005 37.0% 2006 29.6% 2007 22.2% 2008 14.8% 2009 7.4% The mandatory redemption requirements are as follows: Twelve months ending December 31, 2003 $5,000,000 2004 5,000,000 2005 5,000,000 2006 5,000,000 2007 5,000,000 2008 5,000,000 2009 5,000,000 6. Accounting for Stock Based Compensation: The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related Interpretations. Under APB 25, when the exercise price of our employee stock options are at least equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. If compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans had been determined based on the fair value at the date of grant consistent with the method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation", net earnings and earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 would have been the pro forma amounts that follow: 7 Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, ========================================================== 2003 2002 2003 2002 ========================================================== Net income, as reported $ 230,864 $ 589,264 $ 263,840 $ 1,533,246 Stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method net of related tax effects (9,082) (8,347) (18,163) (16,694) ----------- ---------- ---------- ------------- Proforma net income $ 221,782 $ 580,917 $ 245,677 $ 1,516,552 =========== ========== ========== ============= Basic net income per common share: As reported $ 0.04 $ 0.08 $ 0.04 $ 0.20 =========== ========== ========== ============= Proforma $ 0.03 $ 0.07 $ 0.04 $ 0.20 =========== ========== ========== ============= Diluted not income per common share: As reported $ 0.02 $ 0.06 $ 0.03 $ 0.16 =========== ========== ========== ============= Pro forma $ 0.02 $ 0.06 $ 0.02 $ 0.15 =========== ========== ========== ============= 7. Recent Pronouncements: In June 2002, the FASB approved SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 is effective after December 31, 2002, and addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. The primary difference between SFAS No. 146 and EITF 94-3 concerns the timing of liability recognition. As of December 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB No. 123." SFAS No. 148 revises the methods permitted by SFAS No. 123 of measuring compensation expense for stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company uses the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Option No. 25, as permitted under SFAS No. 123. Therefore, this change did not have a material effect on the financial statements. SFAS No. 148 requires the Company to disclose pro forma information related to stock-based compensation, in accordance with SFAS No. 123, on a quarterly basis in addition to the current annual basis disclosure. In November 2002, the FASB issued interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), which expands previously issued accounting guidance and disclosure requirements for certain guarantees. FIN 45 requires the Company to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed by issuing a guarantee. The provision for initial recognition and measurement of the liability will be applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments, in existence prior to May 31, 2003, meeting this definition, at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company will be adopting this in the report for the third quarter ending September 30, 2003 on Form 8 10-Q. The statement establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Company's Preferred Stock meets this definition, and thus will be recorded as a liability. In addition, the Company will record the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles in accordance with SFAS No. 150. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain statements contained in this quarterly report constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Sections 21E of the Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions; the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy; the ability of the Company to obtain financing for general corporate purposes; competition; availability of key personnel; and changes in, or the failure to comply with, governments regulations. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, no assurance can be given as to the future results, levels of activity and achievements and neither the Company nor any person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements. GENERAL Everlast Worldwide Inc. is a Delaware corporation organized on July 6, 1992. We are engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing and sale of women's activewear and sportswear; and the design, manufacture, marketing and sale of men's activewear, sportswear and outerwear (the "Apparel Products") each featuring the widely-recognized Everlast(R) trademark. As a result of the merger (the "Merger") of Everlast Holding Corp., the parent company of Everlast World's Boxing Headquarters Corp. ("Everlast Corp."), into Active Apparel New Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, we became a manufacturer of sporting goods related to the sport of boxing such as boxing gloves, heavy bags, speed bags, boxing trunks, and miscellaneous gym equipment that are sold through sporting goods stores, mass merchandisers, catalog operations, gymnasiums, and martial arts studios. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Everlast Corp., licenses the Everlast(R) trademark to numerous companies that source and manufacture products such as men's, women's and children's apparel, footwear, cardiovascular equipment, back to school stationery, eyewear, sports bags, hats, fragrances, batteries, nutritional products and other accessories. Our financial statements and the notes thereto contain detailed information that should be referred to in conjunction with this discussion. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The accounting principles we use require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods presented. We believe in the quality and reasonableness of our critical accounting policies, however it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions that we have consistently applied. We believe our critical accounting policies are as follows, including our methodology for estimates made and assumptions used. REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY. Revenues from royalty and finders agreements are recognized when earned by applying contractual royalty rates to quarterly point of sale data, among other criteria, received from our licensees. Our royalty recognition policy provides for recognition of royalties in the quarter earned, although a large portion of such royalty payments are actually received during the month following the end of a quarter. Revenues are not recognized unless collectibility is reasonably assured. 10 TRADE RECEIVABLES. We perform ongoing credit evaluations on existing and new customers daily. We apply reserves for delinquent or uncollectible trade receivables based on a specific identification methodology and also apply a general reserve based on our trade receivables aging categories. Credit losses have been within our estimates over the last few years. INVENTORY. Our inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been derived principally on the standard cost methodology, where we utilize a first-in-first-out method. We provide for reserve allowances on finished goods and specifically identify and reserve for slow moving or obsolete raw materials and packaging. DEFERRED TAXES. Deferred taxes are determined based on the 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. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance management considers estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In accordance with APB Opinion 23, "Accounting for Income Taxes - Special Areas," we do not accrue income taxes on the undistributed earnings of a subsidiary which is a "DISC" since the repayment of the earnings of the DISC is not expected in the foreseeable future. If circumstances change and it becomes apparent that some or all of the undistributed earnings of the DISC will be remitted in the foreseeable future, then taxes will be accrued. VALUATION OF GOODWILL, LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS. We periodically evaluate goodwill, long-lived assets and intangible assets for potential impairment indicators. Judgements regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on estimated future cash flows, market conditions, and legal factors. Future events could cause management to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that the net book value of goodwill, long-lived assets and intangible assets is impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION. We evaluate contingent liabilities including threatened or pending litigation in accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies" and record accruals when the outcome of these matters is deemed probable and the liability could be reasonably estimated. Management makes these assessments based on the facts and circumstances and in some instances based in part on the advice of outside legal counsel. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 Net sales decreased to $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $14.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $1.8 million or 12.1%. This decrease in sales was principally attributable to lower sales order volumes from retailers on both the apparel and sporting goods products. Retailers, in response to general economic and weather conditions, reduced inventory levels to preserve working capital. Gross profit decreased to $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Gross profit decreased as a percentage of net sales to 27.5% from 31.1%. The decreases in both dollar amount and as a percentage of net sales were primarily due to reduced sales volumes, unfavorable change in sales mix and the decrease in net sales as it relates to the fixed portion of manufacturing expenses compared to the three months ended June 30, 2002. 11 Net license revenues were $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of 11.8%. The increase in license revenues was primarily due to new license agreements and increased revenues on existing licenses. Selling and shipping expenses decreased to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Selling and shipping expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 21.6% from 20.9%. This increase as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the decrease in net sales as it relates to the fixed portion of selling and shipping expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $0.2 million or 15%. This increase in general and administrative costs primarily relates to additional infrastructure costs to help manage our diversified and expanding organization. Amortization expense remained approximately $0.2 million for both three month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Operating income decreased to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Operating income as a percentage of net sales was 4.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to 9.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The dollar and percentage decrease was primarily a result of lower gross margins and higher selling and shipping costs as described above. Interest expense remained approximately $0.2 million for both the three months periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $0.3 million compared to $1.2 million for the three months period ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $0.8 million. The decrease was a result of lower operating profits in the 2003 period. We incurred a tax provision of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. We expect our tax rate to be approximately 52% during the remainder of fiscal year 2003. The Company had net income of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $0.4 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to the aforementioned decrease in income before income taxes offset by lower tax expense in the current period. As a result of the Merger, we are required to pay a dividend equal to the product of 2/3 of the sum of the net after tax profits (as defined in the transaction documents relating to the Merger) reduced in proportion to the redeemed Preferred Stock. The dividend payable for the three months ended June 30, 2003 is $0.1 million as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The 2003 dividend will be equal to 51.9% of net after tax profits. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 Net sales decreased to $25.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $30.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $5.1 million or 17%. This decrease in sales was principally attributable to lower sales order volumes from retailers on both the apparel and sporting goods products. Retailers, in response to general economic and weather conditions, reduced inventory levels to preserve working capital. 12 Gross profit decreased to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Gross profit decreased as a percentage of net sales to 27.6% from 32.4%. This decrease in both dollars and as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to reduced sales volumes, unfavorable change in sales mix and the decrease in net sales as it relates to the fixed portion of manufacturing expenses compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002. Net license revenues were $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of 15.3%. The increase in license revenues was primarily due to new license agreements and increased revenues on existing licenses. Selling and shipping expenses decreased to $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Selling and shipping expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 23.1% from 19.3%. This increase as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the decrease in sales as it relates to the fixed portion of selling and shipping expenses. General and administrative expenses remained approximately $3.0 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Amortization expense remained $0.5 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 periods. Operating income decreased to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Operating income as a percentage of net sales was 3.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to 10.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The dollar and percentage decrease was primarily a result of lower gross margins and higher selling and shipping costs as a percentage of net sales as described above. Interest expense increased slightly to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase is attributable to the increase in our net borrowings from our factor to fund the preferred stock redemption. Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $0.6 million, a decrease of $2.4 million as compared to the June 30, 2002 period. The decrease was a result of lower operating profits in the 2003 period as well as the increase in interest expense. We incurred a tax provision of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. We expect our tax rate to be approximately 52% during the remainder of fiscal year 2003. The Company had net income of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $1.2 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to the aforementioned decrease in income before income taxes offset by lower tax expense in the current period. As a result of the Merger, we are required to pay a dividend equal to the product of 2/3 of the sum of the net after tax profits (as defined in the transaction documents relating to the Merger), reduced in proportion to the redeemed Preferred Stock. The dividend payable for the six months ended June 30, 2003 is $0.1 million as compared to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The 2003 dividend will be equal to 51.9% of net after tax profits. 13 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We finance our operations and growth primarily with our cash flows we generate from our operations and from borrowings with our Factor. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $1.3 million compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in net income offset by decreases in accounts receivable. Net cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $0.1 million compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company's primary need for funds was to finance working capital and for the payment of the dividend to the Preferred Stock. We have relied primarily upon cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flow from operations and advances drawn against factored receivables and accounts receivable to finance our operations and obligations. At June 30, 2003, cash and cash equivalents was $2.4 million compared to $2.5 million and $2.2 million at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002, respectively. Working capital was $13.5 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $12.9 million and $15.5 million at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002, respectively. The decrease in working capital from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003 was a result of the preferred stock redemption. Net cash used by financing activities was $1.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $2.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2002. This decrease in financing sources is primarily due to a lower level of borrowing from our factor to fund working capital needs and by reduced payments on the dividends to the Preferred Stock. Obligations for all debt instruments, capital and operating leases and other contractual obligations are as follows in thousands: Payments Due by Period (in Thousands) --------------------------------------------------- Less than 1 - 3 4 - 6 Total 1 year years years --------------------------------------------------- Redeemable Preferred Stock $35,000 $ 5,000 $15,000 $15,000 Debt instruments 3,182 223 670 2,289 Capital lease obligations 235 159 76 Operating leases 885 568 317 --------------------------------------------------- Total contractual cash Obligations $39,302 $ 5,950 $16,063 $17,289 --------------------------------------------------- Management anticipates it will maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalent balances, short term investments and a net surplus position with the factor, although no assurance to that effect can be given to fund our contractual obligations and working capital needs. Positive cash flow, if it occurs, will create working capital to fund the Company's anticipated growth over the next 12 months, the mandatory redemption requirements of the Preferred Stock due on December 31, 2003 and the Preferred Stock dividend due on March 31, 14 2004. If a positive cash flow does not occur, there will be a decrease in cash, cash equivalent balances and short term investments and/or borrowings with the factor and/or other lenders will increase.
