NOTES:
(1) In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial information
have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
(2) On May 20, 2002, the Company acquired certain assets of Florsheim Group,
Inc.'s domestic wholesale and retail operations. On July 1 and July 27,
2002, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed the operating
liabilities of Florsheim Europe S.r.l. and Florsheim France SARL,
respectively. The total purchase price was $48.5 million, and the Company
entered into a two-year $60 million revolving line of credit to fund the
acquisition and related expenses. See the Company's December 31, 2002
annual report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the
acquisition and borrowings under the line of credit.
The following table sets forth the unaudited proforma information for the
Company as if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2002 (in
thousands, except per share data):
Three Months ended March 31, 2002

Net Earnings $ 3,040
Basic Earnings Per Share $.81
Diluted Earnings Per Share $.80
(3) In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" and requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 is effective for exit
or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The
adoption of this statement in 2003 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that the
guarantor recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability
for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing such guarantee.
FIN 45 also requires additional disclosure requirements about the
guarantor's obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. The
initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are
applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after
December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of this interpretation are
effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15, 2002.
The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

distribution and retail sales of men's footwear. Summarized segment data

(6) The Company has stock option plans under which options to purchase Common
Stock are granted to officers and key employees at prices not less than
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant. The
Company accounts for such stock option grants under the provisions of APB
Opinion #16, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." No stock-based
employee compensation expense has been reflected in net income, as all
options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or
greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date
of grant.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
ACQUISITION
On May 20, 2002, the Company acquired certain assets of Florsheim Group, Inc.'s
domestic wholesale and retail operations. On July 1 and July 27, 2002, the
Company acquired certain assets and assumed the operating liabilities of
Florsheim Europe S.r.l. and Florsheim France SARL, respectively. The total
purchase price was $48.5 million, and the Company entered into a two-year $60
million revolving line of credit to fund the acquisition and related expenses.
See the Company's December 31, 2002 annual report on Form 10-K for further
information regarding the acquisition and borrowings under the line of credit.
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary source of liquidity is its cash and short-term marketable
securities, which aggregated approximately $16,023,000 at March 31, 2003 as
compared with $9,400,000 at December 31, 2002. In the first quarter of 2003, the
primary sources of cash were operations, draws on the line of credit facility,
and proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities. The primary uses of
cash were purchases of marketable securities and plant and equipment.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 2003 was flat
compared with the same period in 2002. Increases in net earnings for the period,
as well as increases in accounts payable and accrued income taxes, had a
positive impact on operating cash flows. These gains, however, were offset,
primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable for the period. In general,
the increases in net earnings, accounts payable, accrued income taxes and
accounts receivable are all due to increased volumes since the acquisition in
May 2002.
In late 2002, the Company began a $9 million construction project to expand and
reconfigure the distribution center to more efficiently handle the increased
volumes resulting from the acquisition. In the first quarter of 2003,
approximately $600,000 of purchases of plant and equipment were related to this
project. Subsequently, in April 2003, the first progress payment of $1.3 million
was made to the general contractor for the project. Other significant first
quarter capital expenditures include approximately $250,000 of costs associated
with the implementation of a new point of sale system in the 30 domestic retail
stores. Draws are made on the revolving line of credit as needed to fund
expenditures. At March 31, 2003, $41 million was outstanding under the line of
credit facility. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of
March 31, 2003.
The Company believes that available cash and marketable securities, cash
provided by operations, and available borrowing facilities will provide adequate
support for the cash needs of the business in 2003.
-7-
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overall net sales increased 67%, from $35,722,000 for the first quarter of 2002
to $60,380,000 for the first quarter of 2003. The increase resulted from
increases in both the wholesale and retail segments. Wholesale net sales for the
current quarter were $54.7 million versus $34.6 million in the first quarter
last year. Retail net sales were $5.7 million this year, compared with $1.1
million last year.
Net sales for first quarter 2003 relating to the new Florsheim wholesale and
retail operations were $18.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The
Company's Nunn Bush and Stacy Adams divisions also contributed to the increases
with net sales for the first quarter, up 10% and 6%, respectively. Excluding
the Florsheim wholesale business, sales for Weyco's existing wholesale business
were up $1.9 million for the first quarter. On the retail side, excluding the
Florsheim retail business, retail sales were down $300,000 for the quarter.
Gross earnings as a percent of net sales increased from 26.5% for the first
quarter of 2002 to 33.4% for the first quarter of 2003. This is the result of
increased gross earnings as a percent of net sales in the wholesale segment,
which increased from 25.7% in 2002 to 30.4% in 2003, as well as in the retail
segment, from 51.7% in 2002 to 62.1% in 2003. In both segments, the increases
are due to changes in product mix between years. In addition, a part of the
increase in overall gross earnings as a percent of net sales is due to changes
in the mix of wholesale and retail sales as a percentage of total sales. Retail
sales, which carry a higher margin, comprised 9.4% of overall net sales in 2003
versus 3.0% in 2002.
Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 17.3% for the
first quarter of 2002 versus 20.6% in 2003. This is the result of increased
wholesale selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales, from
16.1% in 2002 to 17.4% in 2003, and decreased retail selling and administrative
expenses as a percent of net sales, from 57.0% in 2002 to 51.6% in 2003. The
increase in wholesale selling and administrative expenses is primarily due to
increased advertising expense for the Florsheim brand and minor short term
operational inefficiencies until the expansion of the distribution center is
completed. The decrease in retail selling and administrative expenses as a
percent of net sales is due to lower operating costs at the stores that were
acquired in the 2002 acquisition. Overall selling and administrative expenses as
a percent of net sales increased due to these factors and also due to the
previously discussed change in the mix of retail and wholesale sales. The retail
segment has significantly higher selling and administrative expenses as a
percent of net sales than the wholesale segment.
Interest income for the first quarter of 2003 was $150,000 as compared with
$267,000 for the same period in 2002. This decrease was due to reductions in the
average balance of marketable securities outstanding between 2002 and 2003.
-8-
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2003 was $352,000 as compared with
$16,000 for the first quarter of 2002. The increase is primarily due to
borrowings under the line of credit subsequent to the first quarter of 2002 to
fund the Florsheim acquisition and related expenses.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2003 is 38.2% as compared with
35.5% in 2002. The increase in the rate is primarily due to an increased federal
statutory tax rate of 35% which applies to the Company this year, as compared
with 34% last year. Also, municipal bond income decreased this year relative to
pre-tax earnings, resulting in an increase in the effective tax rate.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the
Company's outlook for the future. These statements represent the Company's
reasonable judgment with respect to future events and are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These
factors could include significant adverse changes in the economic conditions
affecting overseas suppliers or the men's footwear markets served by the
Company. Currently, the presence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in
China could have a negative impact on the Company's supply chain if there were
outbreaks in the suppliers' facilities. To date, SARS has not impacted the
Company's business.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes since the March 24, 2003 filing of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial
Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days before the filing date of this
quarterly report. Based on the evaluation, management, including the CEO and
CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are
