Oakley, Inc.
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Oakley, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2004, the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year ending December 31, 2004.
Note 2 Stock Based Compensation
SFAS No. 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share had the Company adopted the fair value method in accounting for stock-based awards as of the beginning of fiscal 1995.
Stock Options
Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option-pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Companys stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The Companys calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

If the computed fair value of stock option awards during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 had been amortized to expense over the vesting periods of the awards, net income would have been as follows:

Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards are grants that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, a total of 70,000 restricted stock shares were granted to employees at a weighted-average fair value of $14.63 per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, 297,500 restricted stock shares were granted to employees and a consultant of the Company at a weighted average fair value of $15.13 per share. The Company expenses the value of its restricted stock over the estimated or scheduled vesting period of the stock. During the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recognized approximately $270,000 and $343,000, respectively, of expense related to these restricted stock grants.

Note 4 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which eliminated the amortization of purchased goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently if an event occurs that indicates that goodwill or intangible assets may be impaired. As of June 30, 2004, no events have occurred that indicate that goodwill or non-amortizing intangible assets may be impaired.
Included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are the following amortizing intangible assets.

Intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized by the Company using estimated useful lives of 5 to 15 years and no residual values. Intangible amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $321,000 and $642,000, respectively and is estimated to be, based on intangible assets at June 30, 2004, approximately $1,284,000 for fiscal 2004. Annual estimated amortization expense, based on the Companys intangible assets at June 30, 2004, is as follows:

Note 6 Accrued Warranty
The Company provides a one-year limited warranty against manufacturers defects in its eyewear. All authentic Oakley watches are warranted for one year against manufacturers defects when purchased from an authorized Oakley watch dealer. Footwear is warranted for 90 days against manufacturers defects, and apparel is warranted for 30 days against manufacturers defects. The Companys standard warranties require the Company to repair or replace defective product returned to the Company during such warranty period. The Company maintains a reserve for its product warranty liability based on estimates calculated using historical warranty experience. While warranty costs have historically been within the Companys expectations, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to experience the same warranty return rates or repair costs as in the prior years. A significant increase in product return rates, or a significant increase in the costs to repair product, could have a material adverse impact on the Companys operating results.

Note 7 Financing Arrangements
Line of Credit The Companys unsecured line of credit with a bank syndicate allows for borrowings up to $75 million and matures in August 2004. The line of credit bears interest at either LIBOR or IBOR plus 0.75% (2.12% at June 30, 2004) or the banks prime lending rate minus 0.25% (3.75% at June 30, 2004). At June 30, 2004, the Company did not have any balance outstanding under such facility. The credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. At June 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants and financial ratios. The Company has received a commitment from its current bank syndicate for a new three-year line of credit with similar terms and conditions. The documentation and execution of the new line of credit agreement is expected to be completed in August 2004. Certain of the Companys foreign subsidiaries have negotiated local lines of credit to provide working capital financing. These foreign lines of credit bear interest at rates ranging from 0.73% to 6.20%. Some of the Companys foreign subsidiaries have bank overdraft accounts that renew annually and bear interest at rates ranging from 2.60% to 12.50%. The aggregate borrowing limit on the foreign lines of credit and overdraft accounts is $23 million, of which $15.2 million was outstanding at June 30, 2004.
Long-Term Debt - The Company has a real estate term loan with an outstanding balance of $12.5 million at June 30, 2004, which matures in September 2007. The term loan, which is collateralized by the Companys corporate headquarters, requires quarterly principal payments of approximately $380,000 ($1,519,000 annually), plus interest based upon LIBOR plus 1.00% (2.31% at June 30, 2004). In January 1999, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that hedges the Companys risk of fluctuations in the variable rate of its long-term debt by fixing the interest rate over the term of the note at 6.31%. As of June 30, 2004, the fair value of the Companys interest rate swap agreement was a loss of approximately $0.6 million.
As of June 30, 2004, the Company also has a note payable in the amount of $1.4 million, net of discounts, in connection with its acquisition of Iacon. Payments under the note are due in annual installments of $0.5 million ending in 2006, with such payments contingent upon certain conditions.
The Companys minimum annual principal payments on its long-term debt are as follows:

Note 8 Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include indemnities to the Companys customers in connection with the sales of its products, indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, and indemnities to directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Washington. The Company has also issued a guarantee in the form of a standby letter of credit as security for contingent liabilities under certain workers compensation insurance policies. The durations of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees vary. Some of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Litigation The Company is a party to various claims, complaints and litigation incidental to the Companys business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Note 9 Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions of its international subsidiaries as well as fluctuations in its variable rate debt. As part of its overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company and its subsidiaries use foreign exchange contracts in the form of forward contracts. In addition, as part of its overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in interest rates, in January 1999 the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that resulted in a fixed interest rate over the term of the Companys ten-year real estate term loan. As of June 30, 2004, the fair value of the Companys interest rate swap agreement was a loss of approximately $613,000. At June 30, 2004, all of the Companys derivatives were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. For all qualifying and highly effective cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income. Such gains or losses are recognized in earnings in the period the hedged item is also recognized in earnings. The Company is currently hedging forecasted foreign currency transactions that could result in the recognition of $5.0 million of losses over the next twelve months. The Company hedges forecasted transactions that are determined probable to occur before the end of the subsequent fiscal year.
On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, management designates the derivative as a hedge of the identified exposure. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments that do not qualify as cash flow hedges as described in SFAS No. 133. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. In this documentation, the Company specifically identifies the asset, liability, firm commitment or forecasted transaction that has been designated as a hedged item and states how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the risks related to the hedged item. The Company formally measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis in accordance with its risk management policy. The Company would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively (i) if it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting change in the cash flows of a hedged item, (ii) when the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, (iii) when the derivative is designated as a hedge instrument, because it is
11
probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur, (iv) because a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, or (v) if management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. During the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recognized losses of $1.8 million and $3.9 million, net of taxes, respectively, resulting from the expiration, sale, termination or exercise of foreign currency exchange contracts.

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to its forward exchange contracts but has no off-balance sheet credit risk of accounting loss. The Company anticipates however, that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. The Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support the forward exchange contracts subject to credit risk but monitors the credit standing of the counterparties. As of June 30, 2004, outstanding contracts were recorded at fair value and the resulting gains and losses were recorded in the consolidated financial statements pursuant to the policy set forth above.
Note 10 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Earnings per share assuming dilution is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding included 763,000 and 302,000, respectively, of dilutive stock options. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding included 837,000 and 153,000, respectively, of dilutive stock options.

Note 12 Segment Information
The Company evaluates its operations in two reportable segments: wholesale and U.S. retail. The wholesale segment consists of the design, manufacture and distribution of the Companys products to wholesale customers in the U.S. and internationally, together with all direct consumer sales other than those through Company-owned U.S. retail store operations. The U.S. retail segment reflects the operations of the Company-owned specialty retail stores located throughout the United States, including the operations of its Iacon subsidiary. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources of segments based on net sales and operating income, which represents income before interest and income taxes. Segment net sales and operating income for the Companys wholesale operations include Oakley product sales to its subsidiaries at transfer price and other intercompany corporate charges. Segment net sales and operating income for the Companys U.S. retail operations include Oakley product sales to its Iacon subsidiary at transfer price, and sales to Oakley retail stores at cost. The U.S. retail segment operating income excludes any allocations for corporate operating expenses as these expenses are included in the wholesale segment.

Note 13 New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN No. 46) and in December 2003, issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities An Interpretation of APB No. 51. In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN No. 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN No. 46(R) clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements (APB No. 51), to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without subordinated financial support from other parties. The consolidation requirements of FIN No. 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. FIN No. 46(R) applies immediately to variable interest entities created after December 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies no later than the first reporting period ending after March 15, 2004, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest (other than special purpose) that it acquired before January 1, 2004. FIN No. 46(R) applies to public enterprises as of the beginning of the applicable interim or annual period. The Company believes that the adoption of FIN No. 46 and FIN No. 46(R) will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations because the Company is not the beneficiary of any variable interest entities.
Note 14 Recent Developments
On July 12, 2004, the Company announced the introduction of Oakley Thump, the worlds first performance eyewear combining patented optics with an internally integrated MP3 music player. The Company will launch Oakley Thump in December for the 2004 holiday season under an exclusive distribution arrangement with Circuit City Stores, Inc. for the consumer electronics channel. Additionally, Oakley Thump will be offered in the Companys own retail stores, online at Oakley.com and through limited specialty retailers. The Company expects that the launch of Oakley Thump will have a significant sales and earnings contribution in its fourth quarter.

Item 2. Managements Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
The following discussion includes the operations of Oakley, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) for each of the periods discussed.
Overview
Oakley is an innovation-driven designer, manufacturer and distributor of consumer products that include high-performance eyewear, footwear, watches, apparel and accessories. The Companys products are sold in the United States through a carefully selected base of accounts that fluctuates between 8,400 and 9,200, with approximately 14,500 to 15,600 locations depending on seasonality of summer and winter products. The store base is comprised of optical stores, sunglass retailers and specialty sports stores, including bike, surf, snow and golf shops, and motorcycle, athletic footwear and sporting goods stores and limited department store distribution. The Company also operates 30 Oakley retail stores in the United States that offer the full range of Oakley products. Additionally, the Company owns Iacon, Inc., a sunglass retailing chain headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, with 81 sunglass specialty retail stores at June 30, 2004.
Internationally, the Company sells its products in over 100 countries outside the United States, with direct offices in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom. In those parts of the world not serviced by the Company or its subsidiaries, Oakley products are sold through distributors who possess local expertise. These distributors sell the Companys products either exclusively or with complementary products and agree to respect the marketing philosophy and practices of the Company. Sales to the Companys distributors are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions of its international subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries use foreign exchange contracts in the form of forward contracts to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Critical Accounting Policies and Certain Risks and Uncertainties
The Companys historical success is attributable, in part, to its introduction of products that are perceived to represent an improvement in performance or styling over products available in the market. The Company believes that its future success will depend, in part, upon its continued ability to develop and introduce such innovative products, although there can be no assurance of the Companys ability to do so. The consumer products industry, including the eyewear, apparel, footwear and watch categories, is fragmented and highly competitive. In order to retain its market share, the Company must continue to be competitive in the areas of quality, technology, method of distribution, style, brand image, intellectual property protection and customer service. These industries are subject to changing consumer preferences and shifts in consumer preferences may adversely affect companies that misjudge such preferences.
The Companys consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Actual results could significantly differ from such estimates. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Companys accounting policies, which are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the Companys reported financial results.
17
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes wholesale revenue when merchandise is shipped to a customer and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed based on the terms of sale. Revenue from the Companys retail store operations is recognized upon purchase by customers at the point of sale. Generally, the Company extends credit to its wholesale customers and does not require collateral. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of those customers and historic credit losses have been within managements expectations. Sales agreements with dealers and distributors normally provide general payment terms of 30 to 120 days, depending on the product category. The Companys standard sales agreements with its customers do not provide for any rights of return by the customer other than returns for product warranty related issues. In addition to these product warranty related returns, the Company occasionally accepts other returns at its discretion. The Company records a provision for sales returns and claims based upon historical experience. Actual returns and claims in any future period may differ from the Companys estimates.
Accounts Receivable
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customers current creditworthiness, as determined by the Companys review of their current credit information. The Company regularly monitors its customer collections and payments and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon the Companys historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within the expectations and the provisions established by the Company, there can be no assurances that the Company will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that have been experienced in the past.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost to purchase and/or manufacture the inventory or the current estimated market value of the inventory. The Company regularly reviews its inventory quantities on hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on the Companys estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements. Demand for the Companys products can fluctuate significantly. Factors that could affect demand for the Companys products include: unanticipated changes in general market conditions or other factors, which may result in cancellations of advance orders or a reduction in the rate of reorders placed by retailers; continued weakening of economic conditions, which could reduce demand for products sold by the Company and therefore could adversely affect profitability; and future terrorist acts or war, or the threat or escalation thereof, which could adversely affect consumer confidence and spending, interrupt production and distribution of product and raw materials and, as a result, adversely affect the Companys operations and financial performance. Additionally, managements estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory.
18
Long-Lived Assets
In the normal course of business, the Company acquires tangible and intangible assets. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of its long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment, and other intangible assets) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairments are recognized in operating earnings. The Company uses its best judgment based on the most current facts and circumstances surrounding its business when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of a potentially impaired asset. Changes in assumptions used could have a significant impact on the Companys assessment of recoverability. Numerous factors, including changes in the Companys business, industry segment or the global economy could significantly impact managements decision to retain, dispose of or idle certain of its long-lived assets.
Goodwill
The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill at least annually based on a two-step impairment test. The first step compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, then the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of any impairment loss. Fair value is determined based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a rate that approximates the Companys cost of capital. Such estimates are subject to change and the Company may be required to recognize impairment losses in the future.
Warranties
The Company provides a one-year limited warranty against manufacturers defects in its eyewear. All authentic Oakley watches are warranted for one year against manufacturers defects when purchased from an authorized Oakley watch dealer. Footwear is warranted for 90 days against manufacturers defects, and apparel is warranted for 30 days against manufacturers defects. The Companys standard warranties require the Company to repair or replace defective product returned to the Company during such warranty period. The Company maintains a reserve for its product warranty liability based on estimates calculated using historical warranty experience. While warranty costs have historically been within the Companys expectations, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to experience the same warranty return rates or repair costs as in the prior years. A significant increase in product return rates, or a significant increase in the costs to repair product, could have a material adverse impact on the Companys operating results.
Income Taxes
Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the expected future consequences of temporary differences in the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the value of its deferred tax assets. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized, the Company will reduce the value of these assets to their expected realizable value, thereby decreasing net income. Evaluating the value of these assets is necessarily based on the Companys judgment. If the Company subsequently determined that the deferred tax assets, which had been written down, would be realized in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets would be increased, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made.
19
Insurance Coverage
The Company is partially self-insured for its workers compensation insurance coverage. Under this insurance program, the Company is liable for a deductible of $250,000 for each individual claim and an aggregate annual liability of $2,267,000. The Company records a liability for the estimated cost of claims both reported and incurred but not reported based upon its historical experience. The estimated costs include the estimated future cost of all open claims. The Company will continue to adjust the estimates as its actual experience dictates. A significant change in the number or dollar amount of claims could cause the Company to revise its estimate of potential losses and affect its reported results.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company has direct operations in Australia, Brazil, Continental Europe, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa and United Kingdom, which collect at future dates in the customers local currencies and purchase finished goods in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to transaction gains and losses that could result from changes in foreign currency. Assets and liabilities of the Company denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses from translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses on short-term intercompany foreign currency transactions are recognized as incurred. As part of the Companys overall strategy to manage its level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company and its subsidiaries have entered into various foreign exchange contracts in the form of forward contracts.
Vulnerability Due to Supplier Concentrations
The Company relies on a single source for the supply of several product components, including the uncoated lens blanks from which substantially all of its sunglass lenses are cut. In the event of the loss of its source for lens blanks, the Company has identified an alternate source that may be available. The effect of the loss of any of these sources (including any possible disruption in business) will depend primarily upon the length of time necessary to find a suitable alternative source and could have a material adverse impact on the Companys business. There can be no assurance that, if necessary, an additional source of supply for lens blanks or other critical materials could be located or developed in a timely manner.
Vulnerability Due to Customer Concentrations
Net sales to the retail group of Luxottica S.p.A (Luxottica), which include Sunglass Hut locations worldwide, were approximately 14.7% and 14.0% of the Companys net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, net sales to Luxottica accounted for approximately 10.6% and 11.4% of the Companys net sales, respectively. Luxottica is also one of the Companys largest competitors in the sunglass and optical frame markets. Luxottica acquired Sunglass Hut in April 2001 and implemented changes that adversely affected the Companys net sales to Sunglass Hut in 2001. In December 2001, the Company and Luxottica entered into a new three-year commercial agreement for the distribution of Oakley products through Sunglass Hut retail stores, which marked the resumption of the business relationship between the two companies after a short disruption that began in August 2001. The arrangements between the companies do not obligate Luxottica to order product from the Company. There can be no assurances as to the future of the relationship between the Company and Luxottica. In September 2003, Luxottica completed the acquisition of all the shares of Australian eyewear retailer OPSM Group Ltd (OPSM). OPSM operates in the South Pacific and Southeast Asia regions with approximately 600 retail locations, a portion of which currently offer some of the Companys products. For 2003, the Companys net sales to OPSM prior to the acquisition were approximately AUD $1.1 million (or approximately $0.7 million in U.S.
20
dollars based on the average exchange rate for 2003). These sales exclude a limited amount of sales generated through the Companys international distributors. In November 2003, Luxottica completed the acquisition of New Zealand eyewear retailer Sunglass Store New Zealand (SSNZ), the Companys largest customer in New Zealand. SSNZ operates in New Zealand with 16 retail locations that offer some of the Companys products. In January 2004, Luxottica entered into a definitive merger agreement with Cole National Corporation (Cole), one of the largest optical retailers and chain providers of managed vision care services worldwide. This merger is expected to close in the second half of 2004 pending the approval of Coles stockholders and its compliance with applicable antitrust requirements. The Company currently sells to a small portion of Coles retail locations and sales to this customer have been immaterial to the Companys operations. There can be no assurance that the recent acquisitions or future acquisitions by Luxottica will not have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has entered into operating leases, primarily for facilities and retail stores, and has commitments under endorsement contracts with selected athletes and others who endorse the Companys products.

Gross sunglass sales increased slightly to $110.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $105.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Sunglass unit shipments increased 0.5%. Sunglass average selling prices increased 4.1% primarily from the effect of a weak U.S. dollar on international sales, a greater contribution from the Companys retail store operations and a higher contribution from higher priced sunglass styles, primarily polarized versions. The increase in gross sunglass sales was driven by strong sales of polarized versions of the Companys sunglasses, sales of the Half Jacket and Half Wire, introduced in 2002, and sales from newly introduced sunglasses such as the Dartboard, Why 8, Unknown and Zero, offsetting declines in sales of more mature sunglass products. Unit volumes for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 were lower than anticipated, as the Company experienced vendor constraints on certain components early in the quarter, limiting the Companys ability to fulfill orders on two of the more popular 2004 new sunglass styles, Dartboard and Why 8. This adversely affected several of the Companys larger international eyewear markets as retailers ordered fewer older sunglass styles while awaiting delivery of the new styles. As of the end of the second quarter 2004, the Company believes these production issues have been largely resolved and delivery of these styles has improved. Other factors which adversely affected sunglass sales in the second quarter of 2004 were delays in the launch of certain new styles as well as initial soft consumer reception for certain other new styles. Sunglass sales in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2004 benefited from better weather as well as an improved retail environment compared to the same 2003 period.
21
Gross sales from the Companys newer product categories, comprised of footwear, apparel, watches and prescription eyewear, increased 9.2%, or $3.4 million, to $40.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $36.7 million for the comparable 2003 period. As a percentage of gross sales, these newer product categories accounted for 24.0% of total gross sales for the second quarter of 2004 compared to 23.2% for the second quarter of 2003. The strongest results were from the spring launch of the Companys apparel internationally together with increased sales from the watch and prescription eyewear categories, partially offset by lower sales of the Companys footwear products.
The Companys U.S. net sales, excluding retail store operations, increased 1.5% to $64.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $63.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Net sales, excluding retail operations, reflect a 12.8% increase in net sales to the Companys largest U.S. customer, Sunglass Hut and its affiliates. Net sales to Sunglass Hut increased $2.2 million to $19.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $16.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Additionally, net sales to the Companys broad specialty store account base and other domestic sales increased $1.2 million or 2.6%.
Net sales from the Companys retail store operations increased 38.2% to $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Net sales from the Companys retail stores reflect strong increases in comparable store sales (stores opened at least twelve months) for both Oakley and Iacon retail stores. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company opened two new Oakley stores and three Iacon stores bringing the total to 30 Oakley stores and 81 Iacon stores at June 30, 2004 compared to 20 Oakley stores and 67 Iacon stores at June 30, 2003.
During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Companys international net sales increased 3.1%, or $2.1 million, to $69.1 million from $67.0 million for the comparable 2003 period. The weaker U.S. dollar accounted for 6.5 percentage points, or $4.3 million, of sales benefit. The Companys operations in Japan, the rest of Asia and Latin America each achieved strong growth along with a slight increase in Europe. These increases were offset by declines in sales from operations in Australia, Canada and South Africa. Internationally, the Company experienced strong apparel sales and a slight increase in prescription eyewear sales, which were offset by a larger-than-expected decline in sales of the Companys older sunglasses.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased to $89.7 million, or 59.0% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $88.0 million, or 61.2% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $1.7 million, or 1.9%. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily due to lower average sunglass margins, resulting from increased costs on new sunglass models and higher per unit overhead costs resulting from greater provisions for workers compensation expense, higher labor overtime costs and reduced production volumes. Additional factors negatively affecting gross profit were increased sales discounts, a slightly lower contribution from sunglass sales and slightly lower newer category margins due to increased sales of past season product.
22
Operating expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 increased to $65.2 million from $59.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $5.7 million, or 9.6%. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses increased slightly to 42.9% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 41.4% of net sales for the comparable period in 2003. The largest contributors to this increase are higher foreign operating expenses resulting from a weaker U.S. dollar and higher operating expenses related to the Companys retail store operations. The weakening of the U.S. dollar, compared to most other currencies in which the Company transacts business, contributed approximately $1.7 million, or 29.8%, of the increase. Operating expenses included $5.6 million of expenses for the Companys retail store operations, an increase of $1.0 million from $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Retail store operating expenses grew at a rate below the increase in retail store sales.
Research and development expenses increased $0.5 million to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses were 2.5% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 2.3% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to increased product design expenses, including those for the Companys new product introduction called Oakley Thump, a sunglass with an internally integrated MP3 music player.
Selling expenses increased $2.7 million to $39.9 million, or 26.2% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $37.2 million, or 25.8% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 of which approximately $1.1 million, or 40.7%, of this increase is due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar and $0.7 million is due to increased retail selling expenses. Itemized expenses contributing to the increase in selling expenses were $1.3 million of greater sales personnel and related benefit costs, excluding retail store operations; $0.3 million for increased sports marketing expenses; and $0.3 million for increased advertising costs.
Shipping and warehousing expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 3.5% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 3.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 due to an increased mix of footwear and apparel, which carry greater freight costs, as well as increased footwear and apparel distribution costs.
General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million to $16.2 million, or 10.6% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from $14.3 million, or 9.9% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Approximately $0.4 million of this increase was principally attributable to the weakening of the U.S. dollar and $0.3 million was due to increased general and administrative expenses for the Companys retail store operations. Itemized expenses contributing to the increase in general and administrative expenses were $1.0 million in increased personnel and related benefit costs, including an increase in workers compensation reserves; $0.2 million in increased bad debt reserves; and $0.2 million in increased provisions for non-income tax items such as property and sales taxes and similar international taxes. There can be no assurance that selling expenses and general and administrative expenses will not increase in the future, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of total net sales, and increases in these expenses could adversely affect the Companys profitability.
Operating income
The Companys operating income decreased to $24.4 million, or 16.1% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $28.5 million, or 19.8% of net sales, for the comparable period in 2003, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 14.1%.
23
Interest expense, net
The Companys net interest expense decreased to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $0.4 million for the comparable 2003 period as the Company had higher average cash balances in 2004.
Income taxes
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The Companys effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was 34%, compared to 35% for the three months ended June 30, 2003.
Net income
The Companys net income decreased to $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $18.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 12.4%.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
Net sales
Net sales increased to $279.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $255.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $24.1 million, or 9.5%. Gross sales were $299.9 million for the first six months of 2004 compared to $275.7 million for the first six months of 2003.
Gross sunglass sales increased 3.0% to $174.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $169.2 million for comparable 2003 period. Sunglass unit shipments declined 1.1% offset by a 4.0% increase in the average selling price primarily due to the effect of a weak U.S. dollar on international sales, a higher contribution from polarized styles that carry higher average prices and a greater contribution from the Companys retail store operations. The increase in gross sunglass sales was driven by strong sales of polarized versions of the Companys sunglasses, sales of the Half Jacket and Half Wire, introduced in 2002, and sales from newly introduced sunglasses such as the Dartboard, Why 8, Unknown and Zero, offsetting declines in sales of more mature products. Sunglass sales in the U.S. in the first half of 2004 benefited from better weather as well as an improved retail environment compared to the comparable 2003 period.
Gross sales from the Companys newer product categories, comprised of footwear, apparel, watches and prescription eyewear, increased 21.8%, or $16.5 million, to $92.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $75.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and accounted for 30.7% of total gross sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The strongest results were from the apparel and prescription eyewear categories where strong spring line introductions drove sales increases and increased watch sales, partially offset by lower sales of the Companys footwear products.
The Companys U.S. net sales, excluding the Companys retail store operations, increased 0.9% to $110.9 million in the first six months of 2004 from $109.9 million in the first six months of 2003, as a result of a 1.5% increase in net sales to the Companys broad specialty store account base and other domestic sales. This increase was partially offset by a 1.2% decline in sales to the Companys largest U.S. customer, Sunglass Hut, which were $24.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, down from $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This decrease reflects the first quarter effect of Sunglass Huts efforts to attain a more efficient Oakley inventory level at their distribution center and a seasonal increase in purchases in the second quarter of 2004.
24
Net sales from the Companys retail store operations increased to $32.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $10.0 million, or 44.4%. Net sales from the Companys retail stores reflect an increase in stores and strong increases in comparable store sales (stores opened at least twelve months) for both Oakley and Iacon retail stores. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company opened three new Oakley stores and five new Iacon stores. At June 30, 2004, the Company operated 30 Oakley stores and 81 Iacon stores compared to 20 Oakley stores and 67 Iacon stores at June 30, 2003.
During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Companys international net sales increased 10.7%, or $13.1 million, to $135.7 million from $122.6 million during the first six months of 2003. The weaker U.S. dollar accounted for 9.6 percentage points, or $11.8 million, of this increase. The Companys operations in Europe, Latin America, Japan, and the rest of Asia each achieved growth, which was partially offset by declines in the South Pacific and South Africa. Internationally, apparel, prescription eyewear, watch and goggle categories all experienced sales growth, which was offset by a decline in sales of the Companys older sunglasses and footwear products.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased to $158.5 million, or 56.8% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $147.4 million, or 57.8% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $11.1 million, or 7.5%. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was due to lower average sunglass margins resulting from increased costs on new sunglass models and increased overhead costs, including greater provisions for workers compensation expenses and higher labor overtime costs, and a lower mix of sunglass sales. These negative factors were partially offset by the positive effects of a weaker U.S. dollar and increased margins on footwear and apparel.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased to $127.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $113.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $13.7 million, or 12.0%. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses increased to 45.6% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 44.6% of net sales for the comparable period in 2003. The largest contributors to this increase were higher foreign operating expenses resulting from a weaker U.S. dollar and higher operating expenses related to the Companys expanded retail store operations. The weakening of the U.S. dollar, compared to most other currencies in which the Company transacts, contributed approximately $5.1 million, or 37.2%, of the increase. Operating expenses included $10.8 million of expenses for the Companys retail store operations, an increase of $2.5 million from $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Retail store operating expenses grew at a rate below the increase in retail store sales.
Research and development expenses increased $0.5 million to $7.6 million, or 2.7% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from $7.1 million, or 2.8% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Selling expenses increased $8.1 million to $77.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from $68.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 of which $3.3 million, or 40.7% of this increase, was attributable to the weakening of the U.S. dollar and $1.7 million was due to increased retail selling expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses increased to 27.6% of net sales for the 2004 period compared to 27.0% for the comparable period in 2003. Itemized expenses contributing to the increase in selling expenses were $3.0 million in increased sales personnel and related benefit costs, excluding retail store operations; $1.1 million for increased sports marketing expenses; $0.7 million in increased sales commissions; and $0.8 million for increased travel and trade show expenses.
25
Shipping and warehousing expenses increased $1.6 million to $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. As a percentage of net sales, shipping expenses increased to 3.9% of net sales for the first half of 2004 compared to 3.6% for the comparable prior year period due to greater sales of the Companys footwear and apparel products, which carry greater shipping costs, as well as increased footwear and apparel distribution costs.
General and administrative expenses increased $3.4 million to $31.9 million, or 11.4% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from $28.5 million, or 11.2% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Approximately $1.1 million, or 32.4%, of this increase was principally attributable to the weakening of the U.S. dollar and $0.8 million was due to increased general and administrative expense for the Companys retail store operations. Itemized expenses contributing to the increase in general and administrative expenses were $1.9 million in greater personnel and related benefit costs, including a significant increase in vacation and workers compensation reserves; $0.4 million in greater provisions for non-income tax items such as property and sales taxes and similar international taxes; and $0.3 million in increased professional fees due to greater internal audit fees and fees associated with the Companys Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. There can be no assurance that selling expenses and general and administrative expenses will not increase in the future, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of total net sales, and increases in these expenses could adversely affect the Companys profitability.
Operating income
The Companys operating income decreased to $31.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $2.6 million. As a percentage of net sales, operating income decreased to 11.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 13.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Interest expense, net
The Companys net interest expense decreased to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $0.8 million for the comparable 2003 period as the Company had higher average cash balances in 2004.
Income taxes
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The Companys effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 34%, compared to 35% for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Net income
The Companys net income decreased to $20.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $21.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 5.8%.
26
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company historically has financed its operations almost entirely with cash flow generated from operations and borrowings from its credit facilities. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $20.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $27.1 million for the comparable period in 2003. At June 30, 2004, working capital was $184.7 million compared to $143.7 million at June 30, 2003, a 28.5% increase. Working capital may vary from time to time as a result of seasonality, newer product category introductions and changes in accounts receivable and inventory levels. Accounts receivable balances, less allowances, were $90.8 million at June 30, 2004 compared to $78.0 million at December 31, 2003 and $88.8 million at June 30, 2003, with accounts receivable days outstanding at June 30, 2004 of 54 compared to 56 at June 30, 2003. Receivables grew 2.2% over the prior year. Inventories increased to $109.5 million at June 30, 2004 compared to $98.7 million at December 31, 2003 and $103.7 million at June 30, 2003. Quarterly inventory turns were 2.3 at June 30, 2004 compared to 2.2 at June 30, 2003. Inventories grew 5.6% over the prior year.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures, net of retirements, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $11.6 million, which included $2.5 million for retail store operations. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had commitments of approximately $0.5 million for future capital expenditures. For 2004, management expects total capital expenditures to be approximately $33 million.
Stock Repurchase
In September 2002, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $20 million of the Companys common stock to occur from time to time as market conditions warrant. Under this program, the Company had purchased 976,100 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $10.6 million, or an average cost of $10.88 per share. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company repurchased 146,500 shares at an average price share price of approximately $13.72. As of June 30, 2004, approximately $9.3 million remains available for repurchases under the current authorization, with total common shares outstanding of 68,406,644. The Company intends to remain active with its share repurchase program should the right market conditions exist.
Credit Facilities
The Companys unsecured line of credit with a bank syndicate allows for borrowings up to $75 million and matures in August 2004. The line of credit bears interest at either LIBOR or IBOR plus 0.75% (2.12% at June 30, 2004) or the banks prime lending rate minus 0.25% (3.75% at June 30, 2004). At June 30, 2004, the Company did not have any balance outstanding under such facility. The credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. At June 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants and financial ratios. The Company has received a commitment from its current bank syndicate for a new three-year line of credit with similar terms and conditions. The documentation and execution of the new line of credit agreement is expected to be completed in August 2004. Certain of the Companys foreign subsidiaries have negotiated local lines of credit to provide working capital financing. These foreign lines of credit bear interest at rates ranging from 0.73% to 6.20%. Some of the Companys foreign subsidiaries have bank overdraft accounts that renew annually and bear interest at rates ranging from 2.60% to 12.50%. The aggregate borrowing limit on the foreign lines of credit and overdraft accounts is $23 million, of which $15.2 million was outstanding at June 30, 2004.
27
The Company also has a real estate term loan with an outstanding balance of $12.5 million at June 30, 2004, which matures in September 2007. The term loan, which is collateralized by the Companys corporate headquarters, requires quarterly principal payments of approximately $380,000 ($1,519,000 annually), plus interest based upon LIBOR plus 1.00% (2.31% at June 30, 2004). In January 1999, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that hedges the Companys risk of fluctuations in the variable rate of its long-term debt by fixing the interest rate over the term of the note at 6.31%. As of June 30, 2004, the fair value of the Companys interest rate swap agreement was a loss of approximately $0.6 million.
Note Payable
As of June 30, 2004, the Company also has a note payable in the amount of $1.4 million, net of discounts, in connection with its acquisition of Iacon. Payments under the note are due in annual installments of $0.5 million ending in 2006, with such payments contingent upon certain conditions.

The Company believes that existing capital, anticipated cash flow from operations, and current and potential future credit facilities will be sufficient to meet operating needs and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.
Recent Developments
On July 12, 2004, the Company announced the introduction of Oakley Thump, the worlds first performance eyewear combining patented optics with an internally integrated MP3 music player. The Company will launch Oakley Thump in December for the 2004 holiday season under an exclusive distribution arrangement with Circuit City Stores, Inc. for the consumer electronics channel. Additionally, Oakley Thump will be offered in the Companys own retail stores, online at Oakley.com and through limited specialty retailers. The Company expects that the launch of Oakley Thump will have a significant sales and earnings contribution in its fourth quarter.
28
Seasonality
Historically, the Companys aggregate sales have been highest in the period from March to September, the period during which sunglass use is typically highest in the northern hemisphere. As a result, operating margins are typically lower in the first and fourth quarters, as fixed operating costs are spread over lower sales volume. In anticipation of seasonal increases in demand, the Company typically builds sunglass inventories in the fourth quarter and first quarter when net sales have historically been lower. In addition, sales of other products, which generate gross profits at lower levels than sunglasses, are generally lowest in the second quarter. This seasonal trend contributes to the Companys gross profit in the second quarter, which historically has been the highest of the year. Although the Companys business generally follows this seasonal trend, newer product category introductions, such as apparel, footwear and watches, and the Companys retail store operations and international expansion have partially mitigated the impact of seasonality.
Backlog
Historically, the Company has generally shipped most eyewear orders within one day of receipt, with longer lead times for its other pre-booked product categories. At June 30, 2004, the Company had a backlog of $74.4 million, including backorders (merchandise remaining unshipped beyond its scheduled shipping date) of $12.5 million, compared to a backlog of $66.5 million, including backorders of $6.5 million, at June 30, 2003. The 11.9% increase in backlog reflects large increases in orders for apparel and sunglasses, modest increases in goggles and a substantial decline in footwear. Increases in orders from Luxottica represent a significant portion of the increased sunglass orders.
Inflation
The Company does not believe inflation has had a material impact on the Companys operations in the past, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case in the future.
GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document includes a discussion of gross sales and components thereof, each of which may be a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that use of this financial measure allows management and investors to evaluate and compare the Companys operating results in a more meaningful and consistent manner. As required by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, a reconciliation of these measures is as follows:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
Foreign currency The Company has direct operations in Australia, Brazil, Continental Europe, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa and United Kingdom, which collect at future dates in the customers local currencies and purchase finished goods in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to transaction gains and losses that could result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As part of its overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company and its subsidiaries use foreign exchange contracts in the form of forward contracts. All of the Companys derivatives were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges at June 30, 2004.
On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, management designates the derivative as a hedge of the identified exposure. The Company only enters into derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges as described in SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. For all instruments qualifying as highly effective cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income. The following is a summary of the foreign exchange contracts by currency at June 30, 2004:

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to its forward exchange contracts but has no off-balance sheet credit risk of accounting loss. The Company anticipates, however, that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. The Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support the forward exchange contracts subject to credit risk but monitors the credit standing of the counterparties. As of June 30, 2004, outstanding contracts were recorded at fair market value and the resulting gains and losses were recorded in the consolidated financial statements pursuant to the policy set forth above.
Interest Rates The Companys principal line of credit, with no outstanding balance at June 30, 2004, bears interest at either LIBOR or IBOR plus 0.75% or the banks prime lending rate minus 0.25%. Based on the weighted average interest rate of 3.75% on the line of credit during the three months ended June 30, 2004, if interest rates on the line of credit were to increase by 10%, and to the extent that borrowings were outstanding, for every $1.0 million outstanding on the Companys line of credit, net income would be reduced by approximately $2,500 per year.
31
The Companys long-term real estate loan, with a balance of $12.5 million outstanding at June 30, 2004, bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.00%. In January 1999, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that eliminates the Companys risk of fluctuations in the variable rate of this long-term debt. At June 30, 2004, the fair value of the Companys interest rate swap agreement was a loss of approximately $0.6 million.
