These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
 
Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s February 2, 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

5.     SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The Company has two reportable segments: full line stores and catalog/internet direct marketing. While each segment offers a similar mix of men’s clothing to the retail customer, the full line stores also provide alterations.
 
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company’s February 2, 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company evaluates performance of the segments based on “four wall” contribution which excludes any allocation of “management company” costs, distribution center costs (except order fulfillment costs which are allocated to catalog/internet), interest and income taxes. The Company’s segments are strategic business units that offer similar products to the retail customer by two distinctively different methods. In full line stores the typical customer travels to the store and purchases men’s clothing and/or alterations and takes their purchases with them. The catalog/internet direct marketing customer receives a catalog in his or her home, office and/or visits our web page via the internet and either calls, mails, faxes or places an order on-line. The merchandise is then shipped to the customer. The detail segment data is presented in the following table:

(a)
 
Net sales from segments below the quantitative thresholds are attributable primarily to four operating segments of the Company. Those segments include factory stores, outlet stores, franchise stores and regional tailor shops. None of these segments has ever met any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments.
(b)
 
Operating income represents profit before allocations of overhead from “management company” and the distribution center, interest and income taxes.
(c)
 
Identifiable assets include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and property, plant and equipment, net, residing in or related to the reportable segments. Assets included in Other are primarily fixed assets associated with the corporate office and distribution center, deferred tax assets, and inventories which have not been assigned to one of the reportable segments.
(d)
 
Capital expenditures include purchases of property, plant and equipment made for the reportable segment.
 
6.    NEW TERM DEBT
 
The Company issued two long term notes payable during the second quarter of 2002. The first note of $1,575,000 is secured by the Company’s aircraft. It has a floating interest rate (4.2% as of August 3, 2002) tied to the London interbank offer rate. The floating interest rate can be converted to a fixed rate in the first 24 months of the term. The note has a five year term with equal monthly payments of approximately $20,000 and a final balloon payment of approximately $630,000 due at the end of the term.
 
The Company also issued a $3,100,000 note secured by new equipment and construction in the Company’s distribution center. It has a floating interest rate (4.6% as of August 3, 2002) tied to 30 day commercial paper. The floating interest rate can be converted to a fixed rate in the first 24 months of the term. The note has a seven-year term with equal monthly payments of approximately $43,000.
 
Both notes are cross defaulted with other indebtedness including the Credit Agreement.

7.    EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
 
In the six month period ended August 3, 2002, options for the purchase 216,495 shares of Company Common Stock were exercised resulting in net cash proceeds of $2,182,600 to the Company. The options that were exercised had exercise prices ranging from $1.88 to $9.17. The transactions increased shareholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
 
Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2002.
 
Overview—For the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company earned $.13 per diluted share compared with $.05 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. As such, earnings per share were more than double compared with the prior year. The earnings per share of $.13 represents the fourth consecutive quarter of record earnings per share for the Company. The Company expects fiscal year 2002 earnings per share to be approximately $1.35 per diluted share. This would represent the third consecutive year of record earnings per share and a 29% increase over the prior year’s diluted earnings per share.
 
The Company generated increased profits in both the full-line stores and catalog/internet segments in the second quarter driven by a 12.5% increase in sales over the second quarter of 2001 and higher gross profit margins. Gross profit margin increased 350 basis points in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared with the second quarter of 2001 as the Company continued to improve its sourcing of merchandise and management of markdowns.
 
The Company has a $60 million bank line of credit (the “Credit Agreement”) that extends until April 30, 2005. As of August 3, 2002, there was $34.7 million availability and no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Company had $8.5 million of total debt (excluding cash) outstanding as of the end of the second quarter compared with $17.9 million at the same time last year. As such, total debt (excluding cash) decreased $9.4 million since the end of the second quarter of 2001 despite opening 19 new stores during the last 12 months. The Company issued $4.7 million of term debt in the second quarter of 2002, essentially refinancing borrowings under its Credit Agreement.
 
The Company expects to open 25 new stores in fiscal 2002, mostly in existing markets. Two of the new stores were opened in the first quarter, six were opened in the second quarter, at least 12 are scheduled to open in the third quarter, with the remaining stores expected to open in the fourth quarter. The Company also expects to open at least 30 stores next year; however, this estimate may increase as the Company evaluates real estate opportunities over the next few months.

Inventories at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2002 were approximately $64 million, or $2.4 million (3.8%) higher than the same time last year. The increase relates almost entirely to the new stores that were opened since the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Inventories in comparable stores decreased approximately 8% at the end of the second quarter of 2002 compared with the same time last year as sales were better than expected in the first half of 2002 and the Company opened more stores than originally planned. The Company expects to increase inventories approximately 5% to 10% over last year’s amounts in the second half of fiscal 2002 to support new stores and anticipated sales growth.

Net Sales—Total sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 12.5%, to $51.9 million, compared with $46.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Comparable store sales increased 1.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Total sales for the first half of fiscal 2002 increased 15.1%, to $107.6 million, compared with $93.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2001. Comparable store sales increased 4.3% in the first half of fiscal 2002 as compared with the first half of fiscal 2001. The increase in total sales was driven by increases in sales of shirts, ties and sportswear throughout the first six months of the year, and increases in suit sales in the second quarter. For the first half of fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, suits represented approximately 30% of total sales as the suit business has begun to stabilize. Sales also increased as a result of the opening of new stores as follows:

The new stores opened in the 2001 and 2002 are averaging approximately $1.0 million per store of projected annualized first year sales.
 
Comparable store sales discussed earlier include merchandise sales generated in full-line and factory stores, excluding stores that had new stores opened in their immediate market area (from zero to ten miles) in the past 12 months. New stores are added to the comparable store base after they have been open for an entire fiscal year. As such, a new store may be excluded from comparable store sales for up to the first 23 months of operation. Franchise stores are not included in comparable store sales.
 
Gross Profit—Gross profit (net sales less cost of goods sold) as a percent of sales increased in both the second quarter and six months ended August 3, 2002. The increase relates primarily to a combination of lower merchandise cost and better management of markdowns. The Company expects gross profit as a percent of sales to increase at least 100 basis points in the second half of 2002 over the comparable amount in the second half of 2001.
 
General and Administrative Expenses—General and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and $2.4 million in the six months ended August 3, 2002 compared with the same periods last year. The increases in the second quarter and six month period ended August 3, 2002 relates primarily to increases of $.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for payroll and overhead costs to build the infrastructure to support increased direct inventory sourcing and accelerated new store openings. For the second quarter and six month period, incentive compensation expense was $.2 million and $1.0 million higher than the same periods last year.
 
General and administrative expenses consists primarily of corporate support staff including store site selection and construction, regional store management, inventory sourcing personnel, other corporate overhead and distribution center operations.
 
Sales and Marketing Expenses—Sales and marketing expenses increased $2.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and increased $5.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2001. The increased sales and marketing expenses primarily represent occupancy, payroll and other store variable costs for the 19 new stores opened since the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2001, as well as increases of $.7 million and $1.5 million for marketing for all stores during the quarter and six months respectively. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of store occupancy, store payroll, other variable store costs and all advertising costs (including catalog marketing). The Company expects sales and marketing expenses to increase in the second half of 2002 as it anticipates opening 17 new stores in the second half of 2002.

Store Opening Costs—Store opening costs decreased to $.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2002 from $.2 million in the second quarter of the prior year as the Company opened six new stores in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared with eight new stores in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Store opening costs are expected to increase in the second half of 2002 as the Company expects to open 17 new stores in that period.
 
Interest Expense—Interest expense decreased in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared with the same quarter of the prior year due primarily to a $5.3 million lower average outstanding debt balance in the current quarter. Interest expense was flat for the six month period ended August 3, 2002 compared with the same period last year as the average outstanding debt balance increased $.7 million while the average interest rate decreased.
 
One-Time Charge—The one-time charge in the prior year primarily represents professional fees incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 in connection with a strategic action considered by the Board of Directors.
 
Income Taxes—The first half of fiscal 2002 effective income tax rate increased to 39.8% as compared to 37% for the same period last year as a result of higher estimated state taxes and higher estimated non-deductible compensation and other costs.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources—The Company has significant availability under its $60 million Credit Agreement which extends until April 30, 2005. At August 3, 2002, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $34.7 million availability under its Credit Agreement compared with borrowings of $9.6 million and availability of $27.8 million at the end of the second quarter last year. The Company also has $11 million of term debt (the “Term Debt”) due to be repaid over the next 11 years.
 
The Company had $8.5 million of total debt (excluding cash) outstanding as of the end of the quarter compared with $17.9 million at the same time last year. As such, total debt decreased $9.4 million since the end of the second quarter of 2001 despite opening 19 new stores during the last 12 months.

Cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of fiscal 2002 was primarily the result of higher accounts payable balances ($5.9 million) and net income excluding depreciation ($5.3 million). As noted earlier, the Company expects to increase inventories approximately 5% to 10% over last year’s amounts in the second half of 2002, which will use cash. Cash used in investing activities primarily relates to opening new stores and the purchase of a corporate aircraft. Cash used in financing activities is primarily the result of repayments under the Credit Agreement while cash generated from financing activities is the result of the issuance of $4.7 million term debt and net proceeds of $2.2 million from the exercise of options to purchase Company Common Stock.
 
In the remaining two quarters of fiscal 2002, the Company expects to spend between $4 million and $6 million on capital expenditures primarily to open the remaining 17 new stores to be opened in fiscal 2002 and to renovate several stores. The capital expenditures will be financed through cash from operations and borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The estimated capital expenditures are net of negotiated landlord contributions to help fund the construction of leasehold improvements for new stores. These amounts are typically paid by the landlords after the completion of construction by the Company. The Company anticipates receiving over $5.0 million of landlord contributions related to the stores opened this year, of which approximately $210,000 has been collected through August 3, 2002. Accounts receivable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at August 3, 2002 includes $1.4 million of reimbursement due from landlords which is expected to be collected during the third quarter. The reimbursements are accounted for as reductions of property, plant and equipment.
 
The Company believes that its current liquidity and its availability under the Credit Agreement will be adequate to support its working capital and capital expenditure needs.
 
The Company’s plans and beliefs concerning future operations contained herein are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those forecast due to a variety of factors that can adversely affect the Company’s operating results, liquidity and financial condition such as risks associated with economic, weather and other factors affecting consumer spending, the ability of the Company to finance its expansion plans, mix of goods sold, pricing, availability of lease sites for new stores, the ability to source product from the Company’s global supplier base and other competitive factors. Many of the risks are described in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2002, which should be carefully reviewed before making any investment decision.
 
Critical Accounting Policies—The Company believes the following critical accounting policy affects management’s significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. For a detailed discussion on the application of this and other accounting policies, see Note 1 in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s February 2, 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Inventory.    The Company records inventory at the lower of first-in, first-out, cost or market. The estimated market value is based on assumptions for future demand and related pricing. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, reductions in the value of inventory may be required.
