PART I
ITEM 1, BUSINESS
GENERAL
Genesco is a leading retailer and wholesaler of branded footwear with net sales
for Fiscal 2002 of $746.8 million. During Fiscal 2002, the Company operated four
reportable business segments (not including corporate): Journeys, comprised of
Journeys and Journeys Kidz retail footwear chains; Jarman, comprised primarily
of the Jarman and Underground Station retail footwear chains; Johnston & Murphy,
comprised of Johnston & Murphy retail stores, direct marketing and wholesale
distribution; and Licensed Brands, comprised of Dockers and Nautica Footwear.
The Company ended its license to market footwear under the Nautica label,
effective January 31, 2001. The Company sold Nautica-branded footwear for the
first six months of Fiscal 2002 in order to fill existing customer orders and
sell existing inventory. The Company sold certain assets of its Volunteer
Leather business on June 19, 2000, and has discontinued all Leather segment
operations.
At February 2, 2002, the Company operated 908 retail stores and leased footwear
departments throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. It currently plans to
open a total of approximately 140 new retail stores in Fiscal 2003. At February
2, 2002, Journeys operated 533 stores, including 14 Journeys Kidz; Jarman
operated 227 stores, including 97 Underground Station stores and Johnston &
Murphy operated 148 stores and factory stores.
The following table sets forth certain additional information concerning the
Company's retail stores and leased departments during the five most recent
fiscal years:

1,300 retail accounts in the United States, including a number of leading
department, discount, and specialty stores.

contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations which is referred to in Item 1 of this report is
incorporated by such reference in Item 1. This report contains forward-looking
statements. Actual results may turn out materially different from the
expectations reflected in these statements. For a discussion of some of the
factors that may lead to different results, see "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
SEGMENTS
Journeys
The Journeys segment accounted for approximately 51% of the Company's net sales
in Fiscal 2002. Operating income attributable to Journeys was $51.9 million in
Fiscal 2002, with an operating margin of 13.6%. The Company believes its
innovative store formats, mix of well-known brands, new product introductions,
and experienced management team provide significant competitive advantages for
Journeys.
At February 2, 2002, Journeys operated 519 stores, averaging approximately 1,550
square feet, throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, selling footwear for
young men and women.
Journeys added 94 net new stores in Fiscal 2002 and achieved a comparable store
sales increase of 6% from the prior fiscal year. Journeys stores, located
primarily in the Southeast, Midwest, California, Texas, and Puerto Rico, target
customers in the 12-19 year age group through the use of youth-oriented decor
and popular music videos. Journeys stores carry predominately branded
merchandise across a wide range of prices, including such leading brand names as
Dr. Martens, Skechers, Timberland, adidas, Lugz, Vans and Steve Madden. From a
base of 176 Journeys stores at the end of Fiscal 1998, the Company opened 82 net
new Journeys stores in Fiscal 1999, 65 net new stores in Fiscal 2000, 102 net
new stores in Fiscal 2001 and 94 net new stores in Fiscal 2002 and plans to open
approximately 87 net new Journeys stores in Fiscal 2003.
The Company introduced a new concept, named "Journeys Kidz," in Fiscal 2001.
Journeys Kidz is an offshoot of Journeys and is aimed at the "tween" customer,
ages five to 12. Journeys Kidz stores carry predominately branded merchandise,
including such leading brand names as Dr. Martens, Skechers, Timberland, adidas
and Converse. The Company opened 14 Journeys Kidz stores in Fiscal 2002
averaging approximately 1,400 square feet. The Company plans to open
approximately 25 Journeys Kidz stores in Fiscal 2003.
Jarman
The Jarman segment accounted for approximately 16% of the Company's net sales in
Fiscal 2002. Operating income attributable to Jarman was $5.3 million in Fiscal
2002, with an operating margin of 4.4%.
At February 2, 2002, Jarman operated 227 stores, including 97 Underground
Station stores, averaging approximately 1,400 square feet, throughout the United
States, selling footwear primarily for men.
Jarman had a comparable store sales decrease of 4% from the prior fiscal year.
Jarman stores are located primarily in urban and suburban areas in the Southeast
and Midwest, target male consumers
4
in the 20-35 age group and sell footwear in the mid-price range ($50 to $100).
The Jarman stores which operate under the name Underground Station are located
primarily in urban areas. For Fiscal 2002, most of the footwear sold in Jarman
stores was branded merchandise of national brands other than the Company's, with
the remainder made up of Genesco and private label brands. The product mix at
each Jarman store is tailored to match local customer preferences and
competitive dynamics. The Company opened 20 net new Jarman stores, including 40
net new Underground Station stores, in Fiscal 2002, increasing the total number
of stores to 227. The Company plans to open approximately 11 net new Jarman
stores in Fiscal 2003, including approximately 16 net new Underground Station
stores. Going forward, the Company will not open any new Jarman stores. All new
store openings in this segment will be Underground Station stores.
Johnston & Murphy
The Johnston & Murphy segment accounted for approximately 23% of the Company's
net sales in Fiscal 2002. Operating income attributable to Johnston & Murphy was
$14.1 million in Fiscal 2002, with an operating margin of 8.4%. All of the
Johnston & Murphy wholesale sales are of the Genesco-owned Johnston & Murphy
brand and approximately 93% of the Johnston & Murphy retail sales are of
Genesco-owned brands.
At February 2, 2002, Johnston & Murphy operated 148 retail stores and factory
stores, averaging approximately 1,500 square feet, throughout the United States
selling footwear for men.
Johnston & Murphy Wholesale Operations. In its 150-year history as a
high-quality men's footwear label, Johnston & Murphy has come to symbolize
superior craftsmanship, quality materials, and classic styling. The Company's
strategy for Johnston & Murphy is to take these brand attributes to the growing
casual lifestyle market by expanding the product line to include a wide
selection of dress casual and casual styles. The Company has also introduced a
line of contemporary, European-influenced dress and dress casual footwear. In
addition to sales through Company-owned Johnston & Murphy retail shops and
factory stores, Johnston & Murphy footwear is sold primarily through better
department and independent specialty stores.
Johnston & Murphy Retail Operations. Johnston & Murphy retail shops are located
primarily in better malls nationwide and sell a broad range of men's dress and
casual footwear and accessories. Johnston & Murphy stores target business and
professional consumers primarily between the ages of 25 and 54. Retail prices
for Johnston & Murphy footwear generally range from $110 to $240. Casual and
dress casual products accounted for 60% of total Johnston & Murphy retail sales
in Fiscal 2002, with the balance consisting of dress shoes and accessories.
Johnston & Murphy comparable store sales were down 9% in Fiscal 2002 from the
prior fiscal year.
Licensed Brands
The Licensed Brands segment accounted for approximately 10% of the Company's net
sales in Fiscal 2002. Operating income attributable to Licensed Brands was $8.0
million in Fiscal 2002, with an operating margin of 10.4%. Substantially all of
the Licensed Brands sales are of footwear marketed under brands for which
Genesco has an exclusive footwear license. See "Trademarks and Licenses."
5
Dockers. In 1991, Levi Strauss & Co. granted the Company the exclusive license
to market men's footwear under the Dockers brand name in the United States. The
Dockers brand name is well recognized in the men's casual fashion industry. The
Company uses the Dockers brand name to market a line of comfortable,
moderately-priced, casual lifestyle footwear. Dockers footwear is marketed
through many of the same national retail chains that carry Dockers slacks and
sportswear. Suggested retail prices for Dockers footwear generally range from
$50 to $94.
Nautica. The Company ended its license to market footwear under the Nautica
label, effective January 31, 2001. Sales for the first half of Fiscal 2002
included sales of Nautica footwear permitted under the termination arrangement
with the licensor. For additional information on Nautica, see Note 2 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
MANUFACTURING AND SOURCING
The Company relies primarily on independent third-party manufacturers for
production of its footwear products. The Company sources footwear products from
foreign manufacturers located in China, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Taiwan
and the United Kingdom. During Fiscal 2002, Genesco manufactured Johnston &
Murphy footwear in one facility in Nashville, Tennessee, but shoes manufactured
in the Johnston & Murphy factory have not accounted for a significant portion of
its sales of footwear products. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2002, the
Company announced plans to close the Nashville factory by the end of Fiscal
2003.
COMPETITION
Competition is intense in the footwear industry. The Company's retail footwear
competitors range from small, locally owned shoe stores to regional and national
department stores, discount stores, and specialty chains. The Company competes
with hundreds of footwear wholesale and manufacturing operations in the United
States and throughout the world, most of which are relatively small, specialized
operations, but some of which are large, more diversified companies. Some of the
Company's competitors have certain resources that are not available to the
Company. The Company's success depends upon its ability to remain competitive
with respect to the key factors of style, price, quality, comfort, brand
loyalty, and customer service. The location and atmosphere of the Company's
retail stores is an additional competitive factor for the Company's retail
operations. Any failure by the Company to remain competitive with respect to
such key factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition, or results of operations.
TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
The Company owns its Johnston & Murphy footwear brand through a wholly-owned
subsidiary. The Nautica and Dockers brand footwear lines, introduced in Fiscal
1993, are sold under license agreements. The Nautica license agreement was
cancelled effective January 31, 2001. The Dockers license agreement expires on
December 31, 2004 with an option to renew through December 31, 2008. Net sales
of Nautica and Dockers products were approximately $77 million in Fiscal 2002
and approximately $82 million in Fiscal 2001. The Company licenses certain of
its footwear brands, mostly in foreign markets. License royalty income was not
material in Fiscal 2002.
6
RAW MATERIALS
Genesco is not dependent upon any single source of supply for any major raw
material. In Fiscal 2002 the Company experienced no significant shortages of raw
materials in its principal businesses. The Company considers its available raw
material sources to be adequate, although the effects of unforeseen disruptions
are unpredictable.
BACKLOG
Most of the Company's orders are for delivery within 90 days. Therefore, the
backlog at any one time is not necessarily indicative of future sales for an
extended period of time. As of March 30, 2002, the Company's wholesale
operations had a backlog of orders, including unconfirmed customer purchase
orders, amounting to approximately $24.7 million, compared to approximately
$35.0 million on March 31, 2001. The backlog is somewhat seasonal, reaching a
peak in spring. The Company maintains in-stock programs for selected anticipated
high volume sales.
EMPLOYEES
Genesco had approximately 5,325 employees at February 2, 2002, approximately
5,240 of whom were employed in operations and 85 in corporate staff departments.
Retail footwear stores employ a substantial number of part-time employees during
peak selling seasons and approximately 2,450 of the Company's employees were
part-time during such seasons.
PROPERTIES
At February 2, 2002, the Company operated 908 retail stores and leased
departments throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. New shopping center
store leases typically are for a term of approximately 10 years and new factory
outlet leases typically are for a term of approximately five years. Both
typically provide for rent based on a percentage of sales against a fixed
minimum rent based on the square footage leased. The Company's two leased
departments are operated under agreements which are generally terminable by
department stores upon short notice.
The Company operates one manufacturing facility (which is leased) and four
distribution centers (two of which are owned and two of which are leased)
aggregating approximately 810,000 square feet. All of the facilities are located
in Tennessee. The Company's executive offices and the offices of its footwear
operations, which are leased, are in Nashville, Tennessee where Genesco occupies
approximately 60% of a 295,000 square foot building.
Due to the Company's retail growth, the Company began construction of a new
distribution center in Fiscal 2002. The Company purchased 215 acres in Wilson
County, Tennessee to develop a new 322,000 square foot distribution facility
expected to be completed in the Spring of 2002.
Leases on the Company's Nashville, Tennessee, plant, offices, and warehouses
expire in 2007, including renewal options. The Company believes that all leases
(other than the long-term Nashville leases) of properties that are material to
its operations may be renewed on terms not materially less favorable to the
Company than existing leases.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company's manufacturing operations are subject to numerous federal, state,
and local laws and regulations relating to human health and safety and the
environment. These laws and regulations address and regulate, among other
matters, wastewater discharge, air quality and the generation,
7
handling, storage, treatment, disposal, and transportation of solid and
hazardous wastes and releases of hazardous substances into the environment. In
addition, third parties and governmental agencies in some cases have the power
under such laws and regulations to require remediation of environmental
conditions and, in the case of governmental agencies, to impose fines and
penalties. The Company makes capital expenditures from time to time to stay in
compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Several of the facilities owned
or operated by the Company (currently or in the past) are located in industrial
areas and have historically been used for extensive periods for industrial
operations such as tanning, dyeing, and manufacturing. Some of these operations
used materials and generated wastes that would be considered regulated
substances under current environmental laws and regulations. The Company
currently is involved in certain administrative and judicial environmental
proceedings relating to the Company's former and current facilities. See "Legal
Proceedings."
ITEM 2, PROPERTIES
See Item 1.
ITEM 3, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
New York State Environmental Proceedings
The Company is a defendant in a civil action filed by the State of New York
against the City of Gloversville, New York, and 33 other private defendants. The
action arose out of the alleged disposal of certain hazardous material directly
or indirectly into a municipal landfill and seeks recovery under a federal
environmental statute and certain common law theories for the costs of
investigating and performing remedial actions and damage to natural resources.
The environmental authorities have selected a plan of remediation for the site
with a total estimated cost of approximately $12.0 million. The Company was
allocated liability for a 1.31% share of the remediation cost in non-binding
mediation with other defendants and the State of New York. The State has offered
to release the Company from further liability related to the site in exchange
for payment of its allocated share plus a small premium, totaling approximately
$180,000, and the Company has accepted. Assuming the settlement is completed as
agreed, the Company believes it has fully provided for its liability in
connection with the site.
The Company has received notice from the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (the "Department") that it deems remedial action to
be necessary with respect to certain contaminants in the vicinity of a knitting
mill operated by a former subsidiary of the Company from 1965 to 1969, and that
it considers the Company a potentially responsible party. In August 1997, the
Department and the Company entered into a consent order whereby the Company
assumed responsibility for conducting a remedial investigation and feasibility
study ("RIFS") and implementing an interim remediation measure with regard to
the site, without admitting liability or accepting responsibility for any future
remediation of the site. In conjunction with the consent order, the Company
entered into an agreement with the owner of the site providing for a release
from liability for property damage and for necessary access to the site, for
payments totaling $400,000. The Company estimates that the cost of conducting
the RIFS and implementing the interim remedial measure will be in the range of
$3.9 million to $4.1 million, $3.3 million of which the Company has already
paid. The Company believes that it has adequately reserved for the costs of
conducting the RIFS and implementing the interim remedial measure contemplated
by the
8
consent order, but there is no assurance that the consent order will ultimately
resolve the matter. The Company has not ascertained what responsibility, if any,
it has for any contamination in connection with the facility or what other
parties may be liable in that connection and is unable to predict whether its
liability, if any, beyond that voluntarily assumed by the consent order will
have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Whitehall Environmental Sampling
Pursuant to a work plan approved by the Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality ("MDEQ") the Company has performed sampling and analysis of soil,
sediments, surface water, groundwater and waste management areas at the
Company's Volunteer Leather Company facility in Whitehall, Michigan. On June 29,
1999, the Company submitted a remedial action plan (the "Plan") for the site to
MDEQ and subsequently amended it to include additional upland remediation to
bring the property into compliance with regulatory standards for non-industrial
uses. The Company, with the approval of MDEQ, previously installed horizontal
wells to capture groundwater from a portion of the site and treat it by air
sparging. The Plan proposed continued operation of this system for an indefinite
period and monitoring of groundwater samples to ensure that the system is
functioning as intended.
On June 30, 1999, the City of Whitehall filed an action against the Company in
the circuit court for the City of Muskegon alleging that the Company's and its
predecessors' past wastewater management practices have adversely affected the
environment, and seeking injunctive relief under Parts 17 and 201 of the
Michigan Natural Resources Environmental Protection Act ("MNREPA") to require
the Company to correct the alleged pollution, primarily lake sediment
contamination. Further, the City alleged violations of City ordinances
prohibiting blight and litter, and that the Whitehall Volunteer Leather plant
constitutes a public nuisance. The Company, the City of Whitehall and MDEQ
settled their disagreement over lake sediments for a lump sum payment of $3.35
million by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal 2003. In connection with
the settlement, the City's lawsuit has been dismissed with prejudice.
The Company believes it has fully provided for the Plan, which remains subject
to MDEQ approval. Although the Company does not expect remediation of the site
to have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations,
there can be no assurance that the Plan, as amended, will be approved, and the
Company is unable to predict whether any further remediation that might
ultimately be required would have such an effect.
ITEM 4, SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of Fiscal 2002.

ITEM 7, MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
This discussion and the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements include
certain forward-looking statements, including all statements that do not refer
to past or present events or conditions. Actual results could differ materially
from those reflected by the forward-looking statements in this discussion and a
number of factors may adversely affect future results, liquidity and capital
resources. These factors include lower than expected consumer demand for the
Company's products, whether caused by weakness in the overall economy or changes
in fashions or tastes that the Company fails to anticipate or respond
appropriately to, changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers,
disruptions in product supply or distribution, including the impact of opening a
new distribution center, the inability to adjust inventory levels to sales and
changes in business strategies by the Company's competitors, among other
factors. Other factors that could cause results to differ from expectations
include the Company's ability to open, staff and support additional retail
stores on schedule and at acceptable expense levels, and the outcome of
litigation and environmental matters involving the Company, including those
discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Forward-looking
statements reflect the expectations of the Company at the time they are made,
and investors should rely on them only as expressions of opinion about what may
happen in the future and only at the time they are made. The Company undertakes
no obligation to update any forward-looking statement. Although the Company
believes it has an appropriate business strategy and the resources necessary for
its operations, future revenue and margin trends cannot be reliably predicted
and the Company may alter its business strategies to address changing
conditions.
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS
Johnston & Murphy Plant Closing and Reductions in Operating Expenses
On January 31, 2002, the Company's board of directors approved a plan to close
its one remaining manufacturing plant and to implement other initiatives
designed to streamline its operations and reduce operating expenses. The Company
expects to end operations of the plant early in the third quarter of Fiscal
2003. The Johnston & Murphy plant employs approximately 170 people.
Included in the Company's plan referred to above, is a reduction in expenses due
to eliminating approximately 40 positions from its Nashville headquarters
workforce. In addition, the Company recognized asset impairments for assets to
be held and used in twelve underperforming stores, primarily in the Jarman
group.
In connection with the plant closing, employee severance and asset impairments,
the Company recorded a pretax charge to earnings of $5.4 million ($3.4 million
net of tax) in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2002. The charge includes $0.3
million in plant asset write-downs, $3.7 million of other costs, including
primarily employee severance and facility shutdown costs and $1.0 million of
retail store asset impairments. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. Also included in the charge was a $0.4 million inventory write-down,
primarily related to inventory of product offerings affected by the plant
closing, which is reflected in gross margin on the income statement.
Minimum Pension Liability Adjustment
The return on pension plan assets was a negative 2.3% for Fiscal 2002 compared
to an expected return of 8.5% for the year. The interest rate applicable to
present value calculations with respect to plan
14
assets and liabilities also decreased from 7.875% to 7.375% in Fiscal 2002. As a
result, plan assets were less than the accumulated benefit obligation, resulting
in a pension liability of $14.0 million on the balance sheet and a minimum
pension liability adjustment of $17.2 million (net of tax) in other
comprehensive income in shareholders' equity.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On July 16, 2001, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement with
five banks, providing for loans or letters of credit of up to $75 million. The
agreement, as amended September 6, 2001, expires July 16, 2004. This agreement
replaced a $65 million revolving credit agreement with three banks that was to
expire September 24, 2002, providing for loans or letters of credit.
Nautica Footwear License Cancellation
The Company ended its license to market footwear under the Nautica label,
effective January 31, 2001. The Company sold Nautica - branded footwear for the
first six months of Fiscal 2002 in order to fill existing customer orders and
sell existing inventory.
In connection with the termination of the Nautica Footwear license agreement,
the Company recorded a pretax charge to earnings of $4.4 million ($2.7 million
net of tax) in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001. The charge included
contractual obligations to Nautica Apparel for the license cancellation and
other costs, primarily severance. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. Also included in the charge was a $1.0 million inventory write-down
which is reflected in gross margin on the income statement.
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, the Company recorded a restructuring
gain of $0.3 million in connection with the termination of the Nautica Footwear
license agreement. Included in the gain is a $0.1 million reversal of inventory
write-down which is reflected in gross margin on the income statement. The
remaining $0.1 million of anticipated costs associated with the Nautica license
termination are expected to be incurred within the next twelve months.
Volunteer Leather Divestiture
On May 22, 2000, the Company's board of directors approved a plan to sell its
Volunteer Leather finishing business and liquidate its tanning business, to
allow the Company to be more focused on the retailing and marketing of branded
footwear.
Certain assets of the Volunteer Leather business were sold on June 19, 2000. The
plan resulted in a pretax charge to earnings of $4.9 million ($3.0 million net
of tax) in the second quarter of Fiscal 2001. Because Volunteer Leather
constitutes the entire Leather segment of the Company's business, the charge to
earnings was treated for financial reporting purposes as a provision for
discontinued operations. The provision for discontinued operations included $1.3
million in asset write-downs and $3.6 million of other costs, including
primarily employee severance and facility shutdown costs. See Note 8 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Volunteer Leather business employed
approximately 160 people.
In the third quarter ended November 3, 2001, the Company reached an agreement
with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to contribute a lump sum
of $3.35 million toward sediment removal in a lake adjacent to the Company's
former Volunteer Leather tannery in Whitehall, Michigan. See Note 16 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company recorded an additional charge to
earnings of $1.1 million ($0.7 million net of tax) reflected in
15
discontinued operations in the third quarter of Fiscal 2002 to provide for the
portion of the settlement payment not provided for in earlier periods.
In the fourth quarter ended February 2, 2002, the Company recorded an additional
charge to earnings of $0.9 million ($0.6 million net of tax) reflected in
discontinued operations to provide $0.5 million for the Michigan site and $0.4
million primarily for additional anticipated costs for a remedial investigation
and feasibility study at its former knitting mill in New York.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company's board of directors has authorized the repurchase of 7.2 million
shares of the Company's common stock on the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions since the third quarter of Fiscal 1999. As of February
2, 2002, the Company had repurchased 6.7 million shares at a cost of $65.4
million pursuant to all authorizations, 270,500 of which shares were repurchased
during Fiscal 2002.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Inventory Valuation
As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company
values its inventories at the lower of cost or market.
In its wholesale operations, cost is determined using the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method. Market is determined using a system of analysis which evaluates
inventory at the stock number level based on factors such as inventory turn,
average selling price, inventory level, and selling prices reflected in future
orders.
In its retail operations, the Company employs the retail inventory method,
applying average cost-to-retail ratios to the retail value of inventories. Under
the retail inventory method, valuing inventory at the lower of cost or market is
achieved as markdowns are taken or accrued as a reduction of the retail value of
inventories.
Inherent in the retail inventory method are subjective judgments and estimates
including merchandise mark-on, markups, markdowns, and shrinkage. These
judgments and estimates, coupled with the fact that the retail inventory method
is an averaging process, could produce inaccurate cost figures. To reduce the
risk of inaccuracy, the Company employs the retail inventory method in multiple
subclasses of inventory with similar gross margin, and analyzes markdown
requirements at the stock number level based on factors such as inventory turn,
average selling price, and inventory age. In addition, the Company accrues
markdowns as necessary.
Inherent in the analysis of both wholesale and retail inventory valuation are
subjective judgments about current market conditions, fashion trends, and
overall economic conditions. Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding
these factors may result in an overstatement or understatement of inventory
value. An analysis of the sensitivity of the judgments inherent in this process
indicates that changes in the valuation percents of 10% would result in a
decrease in inventory value of approximately $1.0 million as of February 2,
2002.
16
Impairment of Long-Term Assets
As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company
periodically assesses the realizability of its long-lived assets and evaluates
such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is
determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without
interest charges, are less than the carrying amount. Inherent in the analysis of
impairment are subjective judgments about future cash flows. Failure to make
appropriate conclusions regarding these judgments may result in an overstatement
of the value of long-lived assets.
Environmental and other Contingencies
The Company is subject to certain loss contingencies related to environmental
proceedings and other legal matters, including those disclosed in Note 16 to the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has made provisions for
certain of these contingencies, including approximately $2.0 million reflected
in Fiscal 2002 and $2.6 million reflected in Fiscal 2001. The Company monitors
these matters on an ongoing basis and at least quarterly management reviews the
Company's reserves and accruals in relation to each of them, adjusting
provisions as management deems necessary in view of changes in available
information. Changes in estimates of liability are reported in the periods when
they occur. Consequently, management believes that its reserve in relation to
each proceeding is a reasonable estimate of the probable loss connected to the
proceeding, or in cases in which no reasonable estimate is possible, the minimum
amount in the range of estimated losses, based upon its analysis of the facts
and circumstance as of the close of the most recent fiscal quarter. However,
because of uncertainties and risks inherent in litigation generally and in
environmental proceedings in particular, there can be no assurance that future
developments will not require additional reserves to be set aside, that some or
all reserves will be adequate or that the amounts of any such additional
reserves or any such inadequacy will not have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company currently operates four reportable business segments (not including
the corporate segment): Journeys, comprised of Journeys and Journeys Kidz retail
footwear chains; Jarman, comprised primarily of the Jarman and Underground
Station retail footwear chains; Johnston & Murphy, comprised of Johnston &
Murphy retail stores, direct marketing and wholesale distribution; and Licensed
Brands, comprised of Dockers and Nautica Footwear. The Company ended its license
to market footwear under the Nautica label, effective January 31, 2001. The
Company also operated the Leather segment during part of Fiscal 2001. The
Company sold certain assets of its Volunteer Leather business on June 19, 2000
and has discontinued all Leather segment operations. See "Significant
Developments."
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FISCAL 2002 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2001
The Company's net sales for Fiscal 2002 (52 weeks) increased 9.8% to $746.8
million from $680.2 million in Fiscal 2001 (53 weeks). Gross margin increased
8.4% to $349.6 million in Fiscal 2002 from $322.5 million in Fiscal 2001 but
decreased as a percentage of net sales from 47.4% to 46.8%. Selling and
administrative expenses in Fiscal 2002 increased 8.7% from Fiscal 2001 but
decreased as a percentage of net sales from 38.1% to 37.7%. Explanations of the
changes in results of operations are provided by business segment in discussions
following these introductory paragraphs.
17
Earnings before income taxes and discontinued operations ("pretax earnings") for
Fiscal 2002 were $55.9 million compared to $53.0 million for Fiscal 2001. Pretax
earnings for Fiscal 2002 included restructuring and other charges of $5.1
million related to the closing of the Johnston & Murphy plant, elimination of
staff in the Company's headquarters and asset impairments. Pretax earnings for
Fiscal 2001 included a restructuring charge of $4.4 million related to the
termination of the Nautica Footwear license.
Net earnings for Fiscal 2002 were $37.1 million ($1.49 diluted earnings per
share) compared to $29.6 million ($1.23 diluted earnings per share) for Fiscal
2001. Net earnings for Fiscal 2002 included a $1.3 million ($0.05 diluted
earnings per share) charge to earnings (net of tax) for additional environmental
clean-up costs at the Company's former Volunteer Leather tannery in Whitehall,
Michigan, and other adjustments to discontinued operations, primarily for
additional anticipated costs for a remedial investigation and feasibility study
at its former knitting mill in New York. Net earnings for Fiscal 2001 included a
$3.0 million ($0.11 diluted earnings per share) charge to earnings (net of tax)
related to the divestiture of the Company's Volunteer Leather business. The
Company recorded an effective federal income tax rate of 31.4% for Fiscal 2002
compared to 38.0% for Fiscal 2001. The Company determined that approximately
$3.5 million of previously accrued income taxes was no longer required. Because
this amount is reflected as current year income tax benefit, it reduced the
Company's effective federal income tax rate for Fiscal 2002.

Operating income........................................ $ 51,925 $ 41,869 24.0%
Operating margin........................................ 13.6% 13.9%
Reflecting primarily both a 27% increase in average Journeys stores operated
(i.e., the sum of the number of stores open on the first day of the fiscal year
and the last day of each fiscal month during the year divided by thirteen) and a
6% increase in comparable store sales, net sales from Journeys increased 26.9%
for Fiscal 2002 compared to Fiscal 2001. The average price per pair of shoes
decreased 4% in Fiscal 2002, primarily reflecting changes in product mix, but
unit sales increased 31% during the same period. The store count for Journeys
was 533 stores at the end of Fiscal 2002, including 14 Journeys Kidz stores,
compared to 425 Journeys stores at the end of Fiscal 2001.
Journeys operating income for Fiscal 2002 increased 24.0% to $51.9 million
compared to $41.9 million for Fiscal 2001. The increase was due to increased
sales from both store openings and a comparable store sales increase and
increased gross margin as a percentage of net sales.

Operating income........................................ $ 5,319 $ 8,395 (36.6)%
Operating margin........................................ 4.4% 7.6%
Primarily due to a 16% increase in average stores operated, partially offset by
a 4% decrease in comparable store sales, net sales from the Jarman division
(including Underground Station stores) increased 9.5% for Fiscal 2002 compared
to Fiscal 2001. The increase in sales was driven primarily by Underground
Station stores. The Jarman division had sequential quarter over quarter
comparable store sales improvements after the second quarter, with an 11%
decrease in the second quarter to a 2% decrease in the fourth quarter and ending
the year with a same store sales gain of 14% in January. The average price per
pair of shoes decreased 5% in Fiscal 2002, primarily reflecting increased
markdowns and changes in product mix, but unit sales increased 12% during the
same period. Jarman operated 227 stores at the end of Fiscal 2002, including 97
Underground Station stores. Going forward, the Company does not intend to open
any new Jarman stores. All new store openings in this segment are planned to be
Underground Station stores. During Fiscal 2002, eight Jarman stores were
converted to Underground Station stores. The Company had operated 207 stores at
the end of Fiscal 2001, including 57 Underground Station stores.
Jarman operating income for Fiscal 2002 was $5.3 million compared to $8.4
million for Fiscal 2001 and decreased as a percent of sales to 4.4% from 7.6% in
Fiscal 2001. The decrease was due to decreased gross margin as a percentage of
net sales, due primarily to increased markdowns and changes in product mix and
increased expenses as a percentage of net sales.

Operating margin........................................ 8.4% 13.1%
Johnston & Murphy net sales decreased 10.7% to $168.0 million for Fiscal 2002
from $188.1 million for Fiscal 2001, reflecting a 9% decrease in comparable
store sales for Johnston & Murphy retail operations and a 20% decrease in
Johnston & Murphy wholesale sales. Retail operations accounted for 68% of
Johnston & Murphy segment sales in Fiscal 2002, up from 64% in Fiscal 2001. The
store count for Johnston & Murphy retail operations at the end of Fiscal 2002
included 148 Johnston & Murphy stores and factory stores compared to 147
Johnston & Murphy stores and factory stores at the end of Fiscal 2001. The
average price per pair of shoes for Johnston & Murphy retail decreased 4% in
Fiscal 2002, reflecting primarily changes in product mix and increased
markdowns, and unit sales decreased 4% during the same period. Unit sales for
the Johnston & Murphy wholesale business
19
decreased 16% in Fiscal 2002, and the average price per pair of shoes decreased
8% for the same period, reflecting increased promotional activities and mix
changes.
Johnston & Murphy operating income for Fiscal 2002 decreased 42.7% from $24.6
million for Fiscal 2001 to $14.1 million, primarily due to decreased sales,
decreased gross margin as a percentage of net sales, due primarily to increased
promotional activities and markdowns and changes in product mix and to increased
expenses as a percentage of net sales.

Operating margin........................................ 10.4% 5.8%
Licensed Brands' net sales decreased 5.8% to $76.9 million for Fiscal 2002 from
$81.6 million for Fiscal 2001. The sales decrease reflected a 13% increase in
net sales of Dockers Footwear, offset by $12.7 million in declining sales of
Nautica Footwear. Unit sales for the Licensed Brands wholesale businesses were
flat for Fiscal 2002, while the average price per pair of shoes decreased 5% for
the same period, reflecting increased promotional activities.
Licensed Brands' operating income for Fiscal 2002 increased 70.4% from $4.7
million for Fiscal 2001 to $8.0 million, primarily due to decreased expenses as
a percentage of net sales.
For additional information regarding the Company's decision to exit the Nautica
Footwear business, see "Significant Developments - Nautica Footwear License
Cancellation." Net sales for Nautica footwear were $6.1 million and $18.8
million for Fiscal 2002 and Fiscal 2001, respectively, while operating losses
were $0.6 million and $2.5 million for Fiscal 2002 and Fiscal 2001,
respectively.
Corporate, Interest Expenses and Other Charges
Corporate and other expenses for Fiscal 2002 were $10.5 million compared to
$14.9 million for Fiscal 2001 (exclusive of a restructuring charge of $5.1
million and other charges of $0.4 million, primarily litigation and severance
charges, in Fiscal 2002 and a restructuring charge of $4.4 million and other
charges of $0.1 million, primarily litigation and severance charges, in Fiscal
2001), a decrease of 29.6%. The decrease in corporate expenses in Fiscal 2002 is
attributable primarily to decreased bonus accruals partially offset by costs
associated with the construction of a new distribution center.
Interest expense was flat for Fiscal 2002 compared to Fiscal 2001.
Interest income decreased 20% from $1.4 million in Fiscal 2001 to $1.1 million
in Fiscal 2002 due to decreases in average short-term investments. Borrowings
under the Company's revolving credit facility averaged $20,000 for Fiscal 2002
compared to zero borrowings for Fiscal 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FISCAL 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2000
The Company's net sales for Fiscal 2001 (53 weeks) increased 23.0% to $680.2
million from $553.0 million in Fiscal 2000 (52 weeks). Total retail sales
attributable to the extra week were $9.4 million. Excluding net sales
attributable to the divested Other Retail business from Fiscal 2000, the
Company's net sales increased 25.0% to $680.2 million in Fiscal 2001 from
$544.2 million in Fiscal 2000. Gross margin increased 25.9% to $322.5 million

2001 increased 23.7% from Fiscal 2000 and increased as a percentage of net
sales from 37.8% to 38.1%. Selling and administrative expenses were reduced
$1.4 million in Fiscal 2001, reflecting a reduction in pension expense to $0.3
million from $1.7 million in Fiscal 2000. Explanations of the changes in
results of operations are provided by business segment in discussions following
these introductory paragraphs.
Earnings before income taxes and discontinued operations ("pretax earnings")
for Fiscal 2001 were $53.0 million compared to $41.0 million for Fiscal 2000.
Pretax earnings for Fiscal 2001 included a restructuring charge of $4.4 million
related to the termination of the Nautica Footwear license.
Net earnings for Fiscal 2001 were $29.6 million ($1.23 diluted earnings per

Operating margin ............. 7.6% 5.0%
Primarily due to a 17% increase in average stores operated and a 6% increase in
comparable store sales, net sales from the Jarman division (including
Underground Station stores) increased 26.3% for Fiscal 2001 compared to Fiscal
2000. The increase in sales and comparable store sales was driven primarily by
Underground Station stores. The average price per pair of shoes increased 2% in
Fiscal 2001, primarily reflecting changes in product mix, and unit sales
increased 22% during the same period. Jarman operated 207 stores at the end of
Fiscal 2001, including 57 Underground Station stores. Going forward, the
Company does not intend to open any new Jarman stores. All new store openings
in this segment are planned to be Underground Station stores. The Company had
operated 161 stores at the end of Fiscal 2000, including 21 Underground Station
stores.
Jarman operating income for Fiscal 2001 was $8.4 million compared to $4.3
million for Fiscal 2000 and increased as a percent of sales to 7.6% from 5.0%
in Fiscal 2000. The increase was due to increased sales and increased gross
margin in dollars and as a percentage of sales, due primarily to changes in
product mix, and to decreased expenses as a percentage of sales.

Johnston & Murphy net sales increased 12.3% to $188.1 million for Fiscal 2001
from $167.5 million for Fiscal 2000. Johnston & Murphy retail sales increased
14%. The increase reflects primarily a 3% increase in comparable store sales
and a 6% increase in average Johnston & Murphy retail stores operated. Retail
operations accounted for 64% of Johnston & Murphy segment sales in Fiscal 2001,
up from 63% in Fiscal 2000. The store count for Johnston & Murphy retail
operations at the end of Fiscal 2001 included 147 Johnston & Murphy stores and
factory stores compared to 143 Johnston & Murphy stores and factory stores at
the end of Fiscal 2000. The average price per pair of shoes for Johnston &
Murphy retail decreased 1% in Fiscal 2001, primarily due to increased
markdowns, while unit sales increased 10% during the same period. There was a
10% increase in Johnston & Murphy wholesale sales. Unit sales for the Johnston
& Murphy wholesale business increased 15% in Fiscal 2001, while the average
price per pair of shoes decreased 4% for the same period, reflecting increased
promotional activities and mix changes.

Licensed Brands' net sales increased 9.4% to $81.6 million for Fiscal 2001 from
$74.5 million for Fiscal 2000. The sales increase reflected a 36% increase in
net sales of Dockers Footwear, offset by $9.6 million in declining sales of
Nautica Footwear. Unit sales for the Licensed Brands wholesale businesses
increased 9% for Fiscal 2001, while the average price per pair of shoes
decreased 2% for the same period, reflecting increased promotional activities
in the Nautica business and changes in product mix.
Licensed Brands' operating income for Fiscal 2001 increased 88.7% from $2.5
million for Fiscal 2000 to $4.7 million, primarily due to increased sales and
decreased expenses as a percentage of sales.
For additional information regarding the Company's decision to exit the Nautica
Footwear business, see "Significant Developments - Nautica Footwear License
Cancellation." Net sales for Nautica footwear were $18.8 million and $28.4

The Jarman Leased departments business was closed in the first quarter of
Fiscal 2000 and the remaining five Other Retail stores, which were General Shoe
Warehouse stores, were transferred to the Jarman and Johnston & Murphy
operating segments during the first quarter of Fiscal 2001. The Company will no
longer report results from the Other Retail segment.
Corporate, Interest Expenses and Other Charges
Corporate and other expenses for Fiscal 2001 were $14.9 million compared to
$10.9 million for Fiscal 2000 (exclusive of a restructuring charge of $4.4
million and other charges of $0.1 million, primarily litigation and severance
charges, in Fiscal 2001 and other charges of $0.4 million, primarily litigation
and severance charges, in Fiscal 2000), an increase of 37.3%. The increase in
corporate expenses in
23
Fiscal 2001 is attributable primarily to increased bonus accruals based upon the
improved financial performance of the Company.
Interest expense increased 5.7% from $8.2 million in Fiscal 2000 to $8.6
million in Fiscal 2001, primarily due to increased bank activity fees related
to the increase in the number of individual bank accounts because of new store
openings.
Interest income decreased 34% from $2.2 million in Fiscal 2000 to $1.4 million
in Fiscal 2001 due to decreases in average short-term investments. There were
no borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility during either
Fiscal 2001 or Fiscal 2000.

Working Capital
The Company's business is somewhat seasonal, with the Company's investment in
inventories and accounts receivable normally reaching peaks in the spring and
fall of each year. Cash flow from operations is generated principally in the
fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
Cash provided by operating activities was $27.9 million in Fiscal 2002 compared
to $36.1 million in Fiscal 2001. The $8.1 million decrease in cash flow from
operating activities reflects primarily an $8.9 million increase in inventories
for Fiscal 2002 compared to Fiscal 2001 primarily due to new store openings,
and to decreased accrued liabilities of $16.7 million primarily due to payments
of incentive compensation accruals and an $8.4 million increase in taxes paid
offset by increased earnings of $7.5 million in Fiscal 2002 and a $3.5 million
decrease in accounts receivable due to decreased wholesale sales. The $8.9
million increase in inventories at February 2, 2002 from February 3, 2001
levels reflects increases in retail inventory to support the net increase of
129 stores, excluding Nautica Leased departments, in Fiscal 2002.
Cash provided by operating activities was $36.1 million in Fiscal 2001 compared
to $47.2 million in Fiscal 2000. The $11.1 million decrease in cash flow from
operating activities reflected primarily a $3.1 million increase in accounts
receivable due to increased wholesale sales and extended terms, increased
inventories and a $6.8 million increase in taxes paid. The $25.8 million
increase in inventories at February 3, 2001 from January 29, 2000 levels
reflects increases in retail inventory to support the net increase of 147
stores, excluding Nautica Leased departments, in Fiscal 2001 as well as
increases to support the Company's continued growth.

Cash provided (or used) due to changes in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities are as follows:

-------- ------- -------
$(28,212) $15,103 $ 4,037
======== ======= =======
The fluctuations in accounts payable for Fiscal 2002 from Fiscal 2001 and for
Fiscal 2001 from Fiscal 2000 are due to changes in payment terms negotiated
with individual vendors, inventory levels and buying patterns. The change in
accrued liabilities in Fiscal 2002 was due primarily to payment of incentive
compensation accruals, income tax payments and restructuring payments and the
change in Fiscal 2001 was due primarily to increased bonus accruals and income
tax accruals.
The average daily revolving credit borrowings for Fiscal 2002 were $20,000 and
there were no revolving credit borrowings during Fiscal 2001 or 2000, as cash
generated from operations and cash on hand funded seasonal working capital
requirements and capital expenditures. On July 16, 2001, the Company entered
into a revolving credit agreement with five banks, providing for loans or
letters of credit of up to $75 million. The agreement, as amended September 6,
2001, expires July 16, 2004.

Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures were $43.7 million, $34.7 million and $22.3 million for
Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The $9.0 million increase in Fiscal
2002 capital expenditures as compared to Fiscal 2001 resulted primarily from
capital expenditures for a new distribution center. The $12.4
25
million increase in Fiscal 2001 capital expenditures as compared to Fiscal 2000
resulted primarily from an increase in retail store capital expenditures due to
the increase in new stores.
Due to the Company's retail growth, the Company began construction of a new
distribution center in Fiscal 2002. The Company purchased 215 acres in Wilson
County, Tennessee to develop a new 322,000 square foot distribution facility.
The Company expects a total cost of $28 million for the distribution center
with a completion date in Spring 2002. The Company had capital expenditures of
$14.3 million in Fiscal 2002 for the distribution facility.
Total capital expenditures in Fiscal 2003 are expected to be approximately
$44.2 million. These include expected retail expenditures of $24.4 million to
open approximately 90 Journeys stores, 25 Journeys Kidz stores, 9 Johnston &
Murphy stores and factory stores, and 16 Underground Station stores, and to
complete 19 major store renovations. Capital expenditures for wholesale and
manufacturing operations and other purposes, including a new distribution
center, are expected to be approximately $19.8 million, including approximately
$2.0 million for new computer systems to improve customer service and support
the Company's growth and approximately $13.9 million for a new distribution
center.
Future Capital Needs
The Company expects that cash on hand and cash provided by operations will be
sufficient to fund all of its capital expenditures through Fiscal 2003,
including costs associated with construction of a new distribution center. The
Company may borrow from time to time, particularly in the fall, to support
seasonal working capital requirements should cash provided by operations not be
sufficient to fund these items listed above. The approximately $7.8 million of
costs associated with the prior restructurings and discontinued operations that
are expected to be paid during the next twelve months are also expected to be
funded from cash on hand.
In October 2001, the Company authorized the additional repurchase, from time to
time, of up to 0.4 million shares of the Company's common stock of which there
are 501,100 shares remaining to be repurchased under this and prior
authorizations. These purchases will be funded from available cash. The Company
has repurchased a total of 6.7 million shares at a cost of $65.4 million from
all authorizations for Fiscal 1999 - Fiscal 2002. The Company repurchased
270,500 shares during Fiscal 2002 for a total cost of $4.8 million, which was
more than offset by the exercise of stock options and shares issued in the
employee stock purchase plan.
There were $7.5 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving
credit agreement at February 2, 2002, leaving availability under the revolving
credit agreement of $67.5 million. The revolving credit agreement requires the
Company to meet certain financial ratios and covenants, including minimum
tangible net worth, fixed charge coverage and debt to EBITDAR ratios. The
Company was in compliance with these financial covenants at February 2, 2002.
Violation of the fixed charge coverage ratio, the most restrictive covenant, at
the current level of fixed charges would require earnings to decline by
approximately $26 million for a rolling twelve month period.
The Company's revolving credit agreement restricts the payment of dividends and
other payments with respect to capital stock, however the Company may make
payments with respect to preferred stock. At February 2, 2002, $20.1 million
was available for such payments related to common stock. The aggregate of
annual dividend requirements on the Company's Subordinated Serial Preferred
26
Stock, $2.30 Series 1, $4.75 Series 3 and $4.75 Series 4, and on its $1.50
Subordinated Cumulative Preferred Stock is $294,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to certain loss contingencies related to environmental
proceedings and other legal matters, including those disclosed in Note 16 to
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has made
provisions for certain of these contingencies, including approximately $2.0
million reflected in Fiscal 2002, $2.6 million reflected in Fiscal 2001 and
$472,000 reflected in Fiscal 2000. The Company monitors these matters on an
ongoing basis and at least quarterly management reviews the Company's reserves
and accruals in relation to each of them, adjusting provisions as management
deems necessary in view of changes in available information. Changes in
estimates of liability are reported in the periods when they occur.
Consequently, management believes that its reserve in relation to each
proceeding is a reasonable estimate of the probable loss connected to the
proceeding, or in cases in which no reasonable estimate is possible, the
minimum amount in the range of estimated losses, based upon its analysis of the
facts and circumstances as of the close of the most recent fiscal quarter.
However, because of uncertainties and risks inherent in litigation generally
and in environmental proceedings in particular, there can be no assurance that
future developments will not require additional reserves to be set aside, that
some or all reserves may not be adequate or that the amounts of any such
additional reserves or any such inadequacy will not have a material adverse
effect upon the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
FINANCIAL MARKET RISK
The following discusses the Company's exposure to financial market risk related
to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Outstanding Debt of the Company - The Company's outstanding long-term debt of
$103.2 million 5 1/2% convertible subordinated notes due April 2005 bears
interest at a fixed rate. Accordingly, there would be no near term impact on
the Company's interest expense due to fluctuations in market interest rates.
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt was $128.3 million at February
2, 2002 based on a dealer quote.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company's cash and cash equivalent balances are
invested in financial instruments with original maturities of three months or
less. The Company does not have significant exposure to changing interest rates
on invested cash at February 2, 2002. As a result, the Company considers the
interest rate market risk implicit in these investments at February 2, 2002, to
be low.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk - Most purchases by the Company from
foreign sources are denominated in U.S. dollars. To the extent that import
transactions are denominated in other currencies, it is the Company's practice
to hedge its risks through the purchase of forward foreign exchange contracts.
At February 2, 2002, the Company had $12.1 million of foreign exchange
contracts for Euro. The Company's policy is not to speculate in derivative
instruments for profit on the exchange rate price fluctuation and it does not
hold any derivative instruments for trading purposes. Derivative instruments
used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the
exposure being hedged and must be designated as a hedge at the inception of the
contract. The loss on contracts outstanding at February 2, 2002 was $0.3
million based on current spot rates. As of
27
February 2, 2002, a 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates from
market rates would decrease the fair value of the contracts by approximately
$1.4 million.
Accounts Receivable - The Company's accounts receivable balance at February 2,
2002 is concentrated in its two remaining wholesale businesses, which sell
primarily to department stores and independent retailers across the United
States. One customer accounts for 11% of the Company's trade accounts
receivable balance as of February 2, 2002. The Company monitors the credit
quality of its customers and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts
based upon factors surrounding credit risk, historical trends and other
information; however, credit risk is affected by conditions or occurrences
within the economy and the retail industry.
Summary - Based on the Company's overall market interest rate and foreign
currency rate exposure at February 2, 2002, the Company believes that the
effect, if any, of reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates or
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's consolidated
financial position, result of operations or cash flows for Fiscal 2002 would
not be material.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business
Combinations. This statement eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting for business combinations except for qualifying business
combinations initiated prior to July 1, 2001. The Company does not expect this
statement to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial
condition.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. This statement establishes new rules on the accounting for goodwill and
other intangible assets. The Company does not expect this statement to have a
material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations. This statement establishes accounting standards for recognition
and measurement of a liability for an asset retirement obligation and the
associated asset retirement cost. The Company does not expect this statement to
have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company
does not expect this statement to have a material impact on its results of
operations or financial condition.
The Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, in the first
quarter of Fiscal 2002. This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS 133
requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities
in the consolidated balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair
value. Under certain conditions, a derivative may be specifically designated as
a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. The accounting for changes in the fair
value of a derivative are recorded each period in current earnings or in other
comprehensive income depending on the intended use of the derivative
28
and the resulting designation. For Fiscal 2002, the Company recorded an
unrealized loss on foreign currency forward contracts of $0.2 million in
accumulated other comprehensive income.
In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF: Issue 00-10,
"Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs." The new pronouncement
requires shipping and handling billings to customers be recorded as revenue.
Amounts for shipping and handling costs can no longer be netted with related
shipping and handling billings. The Company has restated its financial
statements for Fiscal 2001 and 2000 to reflect the change in accounting for
shipping and handling fees and costs.
INFLATION
The Company does not believe inflation has had a material impact on sales or
operating results during periods covered in this discussion.

NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company's businesses include the manufacture or sourcing, marketing and
distribution of footwear principally under the Johnston & Murphy and Dockers
brands and the operation at February 2, 2002 of 908 Jarman, Journeys, Journeys
Kidz, Johnston & Murphy and Underground Station retail footwear stores and
leased departments. The Company ended its license to market footwear under the
Nautica label, effective January 31, 2001. The Company sold Nautica - branded
footwear for the first six months of Fiscal 2002 in order to fill existing
customer orders and sell existing inventory (see Note 2). The Company also sold
certain assets of its Volunteer Leather business on June 19, 2000, and has
discontinued all Leather segment operations (see Note 2).
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
All subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements. All
significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FISCAL YEAR
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. As a
result, Fiscal 2002 was a 52-week year with 364 days, Fiscal 2001 was a 53-week
year with 371 days and Fiscal 2000 was a 52-week year with 364 days. Fiscal Year
2002 ended on February 2, 2002, Fiscal Year 2001 ended on February 3, 2001 and
Fiscal Year 2000 ended on January 29, 2000.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior years' data to the
current year presentation.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Included in cash and cash equivalents at February 2, 2002 and February 3, 2001,
are cash equivalents of $34.6 million and $53.3 million, respectively. Cash
equivalents are highly-liquid debt instruments having an original maturity of
three months or less.
INVENTORIES
Inventories of wholesaling and manufacturing companies are stated at the lower
of cost or market, with cost determined principally by the first-in, first-out
method. Retail inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost
determined under the retail inventory method.

NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND CAPITAL LEASES
Plant, equipment and capital leases are recorded at cost and depreciated or
amortized over the estimated useful life of related assets. Depreciation and
amortization expense are computed principally by the straight-line method over
estimated useful lives:
Buildings and building equipment 20-45 years
Machinery, furniture and fixtures 3-15 years
Leasehold improvements and properties under capital leases are amortized on the
straight-line method over the shorter of their useful lives or their related
lease terms.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-TERM ASSETS
The Company periodically assesses the realizability of its long-lived assets and
evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset
impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted
and without interest charges, are less than carrying amount.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments at
February 2, 2002 and February 3, 2001 are:
FAIR VALUES
IN THOUSANDS 2002 2001

Carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet for cash, cash equivalents,
receivables, foreign currency hedges and accounts payable approximate fair value
due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt was based on dealer prices on the
respective balance sheet dates.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Substantially all full-time employees are covered by a defined benefit pension
plan. The Company also provides certain former employees with limited medical
and life insurance benefits. The Company funds at least the minimum amount
required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
The Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits"
in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1999. This statement standardizes the disclosure
requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent
practicable, requires additional information on changes in the benefit
obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate financial
analysis, and eliminates certain disclosures that are no longer as useful (see
Note 13).
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Retail sales are recorded at the point of sale and are net of actual returns.
Wholesale revenue is recorded net of estimated returns when the related goods
have been shipped and legal title has passed to the customer.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Shipping and handling costs are charged to cost of sales in the period incurred.
PREOPENING COSTS
Costs associated with the opening of new stores are expensed as incurred.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are predominantly expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were
$21.5 million, $23.0 million and $19.1 million for Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS
Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or
capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to an existing condition
caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future
revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental
assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably
estimated and are evaluated independently of any future claims for recovery.
Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with completion of a
feasibility study or the Company's commitment to a formal plan of action. Costs
of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not
discounted to their present value.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards limited, in the case of deferred tax assets,
to the amount the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized in the
foreseeable future.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
CAPITALIZED INTEREST
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34, "Capitalization of
Interest Cost" requires capitalizing interest cost as a part of the historical
cost of acquiring certain assets, such as assets that are constructed or
produced for a company's own use. The Company capitalized $0.1 million of
interest cost in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2002 in connection with the
Company's new distribution center.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities to issue common stock were exercised or
converted to common stock (see Note 14).
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" requires, among other things, the Company's minimum
pension liability adjustment and unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency
forward contracts to be included in other comprehensive income net of tax.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires that companies
disclose "operating segments" based on the way management disaggregates the
company for making internal operating decisions (see Notes 2 and 17).
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in the first
quarter of Fiscal 2002. This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS 133
requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities
in the consolidated balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair
value. Under certain conditions, a derivative may be specifically designated as
a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. The accounting for changes in the fair
value of a derivative are recorded each period in current earnings or in other
comprehensive income depending on the intended use of the derivative and the
resulting designation. For the twelve months ended February 2, 2002, the Company
recorded an unrealized loss on foreign currency forward contracts of $0.2
million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, before taxes.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
In order to reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in
connection with inventory purchase commitments, the Company enters into foreign
currency forward exchange contracts for Euro to make Euro denominated payments
with a maximum hedging period of twelve months. Derivative instruments used as
hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being
hedged. The settlement terms of the forward contracts correspond with the pay
terms for the merchandise inventories. As a result, there is no hedge
ineffectiveness to be reflected in earnings. At February 2, 2002 and February 3,
2001, the Company had approximately $12.1 million and $31.3 million,
respectively, of such contracts outstanding. Forward exchange contracts have an
average term of approximately three months. The loss based on spot rates under
these contracts at February 2, 2002 was $0.3 million and the gain based on spot
rates under these contracts at February 3, 2001 was $1.3 million. The Company
monitors the credit quality of the major national and regional financial
institutions with which it enters into such contracts.
The Company estimates that the majority of net-hedging losses will be
reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings through
higher cost of sales within the twelve months between February 2, 2002 and
February 1, 2003.

RESTRUCTURINGS
Johnston & Murphy Plant Closing and Reductions in Operating Expenses
On January 31, 2002, the Company's board of directors approved a plan to close
its one remaining manufacturing plant and to implement other initiatives
designed to streamline its operations and reduce operating expenses. The Company
expects to end operations of the plant early in the third quarter of Fiscal
2003. The Johnston & Murphy plant employs approximately 170 people.
Included in the Company's plan referred to above, is a reduction in expenses due
to eliminating approximately 40 positions from its Nashville headquarters
workforce. In addition, the Company recognized asset impairments for assets to
be held and used in twelve underperforming stores, primarily in the Jarman
group.
In connection with the plant closing, employee severance and asset impairments,
the Company recorded a pretax charge to earnings of $5.4 million ($3.4 million
net of tax) in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2002. The charge includes $0.3
million in plant asset write-downs, $3.7 million of other costs, including
primarily employee severance and facility shutdown costs and $1.0 million of
retail store asset impairments (see Note 8). Also included in the charge was a
$0.4 million inventory write-down, primarily related to inventory of product
offerings affected by the plant closing, which is reflected in gross margin on
the income statement.
Nautica Footwear License Cancellation
The Company ended its license to market footwear under the Nautica label,
effective January 31, 2001. The Company sold Nautica - branded footwear for the
first six months of Fiscal 2002 in order to fill existing customer orders and
sell existing inventory.
In connection with the termination of the Nautica Footwear license agreement,
the Company recorded a pretax charge to earnings of $4.4 million ($2.7 million
net of tax) in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001. The charge included
contractual obligations to Nautica Apparel for the license cancellation and
other costs, primarily severance (see Note 8). Also included in the charge was a
$1.0 million inventory write-down which is reflected in gross margin on the
income statement.
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, the Company recorded a restructuring
gain of $0.3 million in connection with the termination of the Nautica Footwear
license agreement. Included in the gain is a $0.1 million reversal of inventory
write-down which is reflected in gross margin on the income statement. The
remaining $0.1 million of anticipated costs associated with the Nautica license
termination are expected to be incurred within the next twelve months.
The Nautica footwear business contributed sales of approximately $6.1 million,
$18.8 million and $28.4 million and operating losses of $0.6 million, $2.5
million and $2.2 million in Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Volunteer Leather Divestiture
On May 22, 2000, the Company's board of directors approved a plan to sell its
Volunteer Leather finishing business and liquidate its tanning business, to
allow the Company to be more focused on the retailing and marketing of branded
footwear.
Certain assets of the Volunteer Leather business were sold on June 19, 2000. The
plan resulted in a pretax charge to earnings of $4.9 million ($3.0 million net
of tax) in the second quarter of Fiscal 2001. Because Volunteer Leather
constitutes the entire Leather segment of the Company's business, the charge to
earnings was treated for financial reporting purposes as a provision for
discontinued operations. The provision for discontinued operations included $1.3
million in asset write-downs and $3.6 million of other costs, including
primarily employee severance and facility shutdown costs (see Note 8). The
Volunteer Leather business employed approximately 160 people.
In the third quarter ended November 3, 2001, the Company reached an agreement
with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to contribute a lump sum
of $3.35 million toward sediment removal in a lake adjacent to the Company's
former Volunteer Leather tannery in Whitehall, Michigan. See Note 16 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company recorded an additional charge to
earnings of $1.1 million ($0.7 million net of tax) reflected in discontinued
operations in the third quarter of Fiscal 2002 to provide for the portion of the
settlement payment not provided for in earlier periods.
In the fourth quarter ended February 2, 2002, the Company recorded an additional
charge to earnings of $0.9 million ($0.6 million net of tax) reflected in
discontinued operations to provide $0.5 million for the Michigan site and $0.4
million primarily for additional anticipated costs for a remedial investigation
and feasibility study at its former knitting mill in New York.
The operating results of the leather segment are shown below:

REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT:
On July 16, 2001, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement with
five banks, providing for loans or letters of credit of up to $75 million. The
agreement, as amended September 6, 2001, expires July 16, 2004. This agreement
replaced a $65 million revolving credit agreement with three banks that was to
expire September 24, 2002, providing for loans or letters of credit. Outstanding
letters of credit at February 2, 2002 were $7.5 million; no loans were
outstanding at that date.
Under the revolving credit agreement, the Company may borrow at the prime rate
plus 0.25% or LIBOR plus 1.25% which may be changed if the Company's pricing
ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) changes. Facility fees are 0.50% per
annum on $75.0 million and also vary based on the pricing ratio. The revolving
credit agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial ratios and
covenants, including minimum tangible net worth, fixed charge coverage and debt
to EBITDAR ratios. The Company is required by the credit agreement to reduce the
outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans to zero for 30 consecutive
days during each period beginning on December 15 of any fiscal year and ending
on April 15 of the following fiscal year. The revolving credit agreement, as
amended, contains other covenants which restrict the payment of dividends and
other payments with respect to capital stock. In addition, annual capital
expenditures are limited to $36.0 million for Fiscal 2002, $38.0 million for
Fiscal 2003 and $39.0 million for Fiscal 2004. The capital expenditure limits do
not include the first $30.0 million of capital expenditures from the new
distribution center. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants
contained in the revolving credit agreement at February 2, 2002.

5 1/2% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2005:
On April 9, 1998, the Company issued $103.5 million of 5 1/2% convertible
subordinated notes due April 15, 2005. The notes are convertible into 47.5172
shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to a
conversion price of $21.045 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment.
Expenses incurred relating to the issuance were capitalized and are being
amortized over the term of the notes.
In June of 2001, $255,000 of the 5 1/2% convertible subordinated notes were
converted to 12,116 shares of common stock.
The indenture pursuant to which the convertible subordinated notes were issued
does not restrict the incurrence of Senior Debt by the Company or other
indebtedness or liabilities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY, CONTINUED
The Company's shareholders' rights plan grants to common shareholders the right
to purchase, at a specified exercise price, a fraction of a share of
subordinated serial preferred stock, Series 6, in the event of an acquisition
of, or an announced tender offer for, 15% or more of the Company's outstanding
common stock. Upon any such event, each right also entitles the holder (other
than the person making such acquisition or tender offer) to purchase, at the
exercise price, shares of common stock having a market value of twice the
exercise price. In the event the Company is acquired in a transaction in which
the Company is not the surviving corporation, each right would entitle its
holder to purchase, at the exercise price, shares of the acquiring company
having a market value of twice the exercise price. The rights expire in August
2010, are redeemable under certain circumstances for $.01 per right and are
subject to exchange for one share of common stock or an equivalent amount of
preferred stock at any time after the event which makes the rights exercisable
and before a majority of the Company's common stock is acquired.

RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND REDEMPTIONS OF CAPITAL STOCK:
The Company's charter provides that no dividends may be paid and no shares of
capital stock acquired for value if there are dividend or redemption arrearages
on any senior or equally ranked stock. Exchanges of subordinated serial
preferred stock for common stock or other stock junior to such exchanged stock
are permitted.
The Company's revolving credit agreement restricts the payment of dividends and
other payments with respect to capital stock, however the Company may make
payments with respect to preferred stock. At February 2, 2002, $ 20.1 million
was available for such payments related to common stock.
The April 9, 1998 indenture, under which the Company's 5 1/2% convertible
subordinated notes due 2005 were issued, does not restrict the payment of
dividends.
Dividends declared for Fiscal 2002 for the Company's Subordinated Serial

RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan. Effective
January 1, 1996, the Company amended the plan to change the pension benefit
formula to a cash balance formula from the then existing benefit calculation
based upon years of service and final average pay. The benefits accrued under
the old formula were frozen as of December 31, 1995. Upon retirement, the
participant will receive this accrued benefit payable as an annuity. In
addition, the participant will receive as a lump sum (or annuity if desired) the
amount credited to their cash balance account under the new formula.
Under the amended plan, beginning January 1, 1996, the Company credits each
participants' account annually with an amount equal to 4% of the participant's
compensation plus 4% of the participant's compensation in excess of the Social
Security taxable wage base. Beginning December 31, 1996 and annually thereafter,
the account balance of each active participant will be credited with 7% interest
calculated on the sum of the balance as of the beginning of the plan year and
50% of the amounts credited to the account, other than interest, for the plan
year. The account balance of each participant who is inactive will be credited
with interest at the lesser of 7% or the 30 year Treasury interest rate.
The Company provides health care benefits for early retirees and life insurance
benefits for certain retirees not covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Under the health care plan, early retirees are eligible for limited benefits
until age 65. Employees who meet certain requirements are eligible for life
insurance benefits upon retirement. The Company accrues such benefits during the
period in which the employee renders service.

SECTION 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
The Company has a Section 401(k) Savings Plan available to employees who have
completed one full year of service and are age 21 or older.
Concurrent with the January 1, 1996 amendment to the pension plan (discussed
previously), the Company amended the 401(k) savings plan to make matching
contributions equal to 50% of each employee's contribution of up to 5% of
salary. Beginning in calendar 2002, participants are vested in the matching
contribution of their accounts on a graduated basis of 25% a year beginning
after two years of service. Full vesting occurs after five years of service.
Company funds contributed prior to 2002 are not vested until a participant has
completed five years of service. The contribution expense to the Company for the
matching program was approximately $0.9 million for Fiscal 2002 and 2001 and
$1.0 million for Fiscal 2000.

(1) The Company's Employees' Subordinated Convertible Preferred Stock is
convertible one for one to the Company's common stock. Because there
are no dividends paid on this stock, these shares are assumed to be
converted.
The amount of the dividend on the convertible preferred stock per common share
obtainable on conversion of the convertible preferred is higher than basic
earnings per share for the period. Therefore, conversion of the convertible
preferred stock is not reflected in diluted earnings per share, because it would
have been antidilutive. The shares convertible to common stock for Series 1, 3
and 4 preferred stock would have been 30,674, 38,324 and 24,946, respectively.
Options to purchase 32,000 shares of common stock at $32.65 per share were
outstanding at the end of Fiscal 2002 but were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater
than the average market price of the common shares.
There were no options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per
share for Fiscal 2001 because all the options' exercise prices were lower than
the average market price of the common shares.
Options to purchase 343,500 shares of common stock at $13.19 per share, 123,000
shares of common stock at $12.75 per share, 28,000 shares of common stock at
$13.69 per share and 10,000 shares of common stock at $13.06 per share were
outstanding at the end of Fiscal 2000 but were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater
than the average market price of the common shares.
The weighted shares outstanding reflects the effect of the stock buy back
program of up to 7.2 million shares announced by the Company in Fiscal 1999 -
2002. The Company has repurchased 6.7 million shares as of February 2, 2002.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS
The Company's stock-based compensation plans, as of February 2, 2002, are
described below. The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations
in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized other than for its restricted stock incentive plans. The compensation
cost that has been charged against income for its restricted plans was $0.3
million, $3.8 million and $0.6 million for Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The compensation cost that has been charged against shareholders'
equity for its directors' restricted stock plan was $70,000, $110,000 and
$105,000 for Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Had compensation cost for
all of the Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the
fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the
methodology prescribed by FAS 123, the Company's net income and earnings per
share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

FIXED STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
The Company has two fixed stock incentive plans. Under the 1987 Stock Option
Plan, the Company may grant options to its management personnel for up to 2.2
million shares of common stock. Under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company
may grant options to its officers and other key employees of and consultants to
the Company for up to 4.4 million shares of common stock, which includes 200,000
shares reserved for issuance to outside directors. Under both plans, the
exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company's stock on
the date of grant and an option's maximum term is 10 years. Options granted
under both plans vest 25% at the end of each year.

NOTE 15
STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS, CONTINUED
With regard to the 200,000 shares reserved for issuance to outside directors, an
automatic grant of restricted stock will be given to outside directors on the
date of the annual meeting of shareholders at which an outside director is first
elected. The outside director restricted stock shall vest with respect to
one-third of the shares each year as long as the director is still serving as a
director. Once the shares have vested, the director is restricted from selling,
transferring, pledging or assigning the shares for an additional two years.
There were 942 shares, 926 shares and 1,139 shares of restricted stock issued to
directors for Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. An outside director may
elect irrevocably to receive all or a specified portion of his annual retainers
for board membership and any committee chairmanship for the following fiscal
year in a number of shares of restricted stock (the "Retainer Stock"). Shares of
the Retainer Stock shall be granted as of the first business day of the fiscal
year as to which the election is effective, subject to forfeiture to the extent
not earned upon the Outside Director's ceasing to serve as a director or
committee chairman during such fiscal year. Once the shares are earned, the
director is restricted from selling, transferring, pledging or assigning the
shares for an additional four years. There were 2,087 shares, 9,116 shares and
9,157 shares of Retainer Stock issued to directors for Fiscal 2002, 2001 and
2000, respectively.
Annually on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders, each outside
director shall receive the automatic grant of options to purchase 4,000 shares
of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of grant. These stock options become exercisable six
months after their respective dates of grant, and expire in ten years. There
were 32,000, 32,000 and 28,000 shares of stock options issued to directors for
Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The weighted-average fair value of each option granted in the fixed stock
incentive plans described above is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model -average assumptions used for grants in
Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively: expected volatility of 62 percent each
year; risk-free interest rates of 5.2, 5.3 and 6.7 percent; and expected lives
of 5.8, 6.7 and 7.6 years, respectively.

RESTRICTED STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
On January 10, 1997, 200,000 shares of restricted stock options were granted to
the chairman of the board (at that time) under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan.
The stock price at the date of grant was $9 per share. The restrictions lapsed
for one third of the shares (66,667 shares) on January 31, 1998 and the second
one third of the shares on January 31, 1999. The restrictions would have lapsed
for the last one third of the shares on January 31, 2000 if the chairman
remained on the board of the Company. The chairman resigned in the fourth
quarter of Fiscal 2000. The last one third of the shares were not issued. There
was compensation income of $0.5 million for these options in Fiscal 2000.
As of the beginning of the first quarter of Fiscal 1999, a three year long term
incentive plan was approved for the president - CEO (at that time) which covered
Fiscal 1999 through Fiscal 2001. The incentive plan provides a maximum of
300,000 performance shares of stock to be awarded based on cumulative revenue
growth, cumulative earnings before income taxes to sales ratio and cumulative
assets to sales ratio. There were 147,207, 118,449 and 34,344 shares issued in
Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Compensation cost charged against
income for these shares was $3.7 million and $1.1 million in Fiscal 2001 and
2000.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS, CONTINUED
On October 16, 2000, another three year long term incentive plan was approved
for the Chairman and CEO (at that time) which covers Fiscal 2002 through Fiscal
2004. The incentive plan provides a target payout of $470,000 in stock if the
Company's total return to shareholders equals the average of two published
indices, the Bloomberg U.S. Apparel Index and the S & P 500 Consumer Cyclical
Index. The number of shares to be issued is based on the closing price of the
stock on October 16, 2000 or $16.63 per share which totals 28,262 shares. These
shares vest 100% at the end of three years as long as the Chairman and CEO has
either remained an employee or director, or (if he has retired) has not violated
the terms of a non-compete provision. Compensation cost charged against income
for these shares was $157,000 and $39,000 in Fiscal 2002 and 2001.
On June 1, 2001, the Company entered into a three year restricted stock
agreement with a senior vice president of the Company. The number of shares to
be issued is 20,000 shares. These shares vest on May 31, 2004, provided that on
such date the grantee has remained continuously employed by the Company since
the date of the agreement. Compensation cost charged against income for these
shares was $138,000 in Fiscal 2002.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up to
1.0 million shares of common stock to those full-time employees whose total
annual base salary is less than $100,000. Under the terms of the Plan, employees
can choose each year to have up to 15 percent of their annual base earnings
withheld to purchase the Company's common stock. The purchase price of the stock
is 85 percent of the closing market price of the stock on either the exercise
date or the grant date, whichever is less. Under the Plan, the Company sold
41,963 shares, 54,582 shares and 122,362 shares to employees in Fiscal 2002,
2001 and 2000, respectively. Compensation cost is recognized for the fair value
of the employees' purchase rights, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes
model with the following assumptions for Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively: an expected life of 1 year for all years; expected volatility of
59, 58 and 47 percent; and risk-free interest rates of 1.8, 5.1 and 6.1 percent.
The weighted-average fair value of those purchase rights granted in Fiscal 2002,
2001 and 2000 was $6.09, $6.86 and $4.26, respectively.
STOCK PURCHASE PLANS
Stock purchase accounts arising out of sales to employees prior to 1972 under
certain employee stock purchase plans amounted to $210,000 and $226,000 at
February 2, 2002 and February 3, 2001, respectively, and were secured at
February 2, 2002, by 10,957 employees' preferred shares. Payments on stock
purchase accounts under the stock purchase plans have been indefinitely
deferred. No further sales under these plans are contemplated.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
New York State Environmental Proceedings
The Company is a defendant in a civil action filed by the State of New York
against the City of Gloversville, New York, and 33 other private defendants. The
action arose out of the alleged disposal of certain hazardous material directly
or indirectly into a municipal landfill and seeks recovery under a federal
environmental statute and certain common law theories for the costs of
investigating and performing remedial actions and damage to natural resources.
The environmental authorities have selected a plan of remediation for the site
with a total estimated cost of approximately $12.0 million. The Company was
allocated liability for a 1.31% share of the remediation cost in non-binding
mediation with other defendants and the State of New York. The State has offered
to release the Company from further liability related to the site in exchange
for payment of its allocated share plus a small premium, totaling approximately
$180,000, and the Company has accepted. Assuming the settlement is completed as
agreed, the Company believes it has fully provided for its liability in
connection with the site.
The Company has received notice from the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (the "Department") that it deems remedial action to
be necessary with respect to certain contaminants in the vicinity of a knitting
mill operated by a former subsidiary of the Company from 1965 to 1969, and that
it considers the Company a potentially responsible party. In August 1997, the
Department and the Company entered into a consent order whereby the Company
assumed responsibility for conducting a remedial investigation and feasibility
study ("RIFS") and implementing an interim remediation measure with regard to
the site, without admitting liability or accepting responsibility for any future
remediation of the site. In conjunction with the consent order, the Company
entered into an agreement with the owner of the site providing for a release
from liability for property damage and for necessary access to the site, for
payments totaling $400,000. The Company estimates that the cost of conducting
the RIFS and implementing the interim remedial measure will be in the range of
$3.9 million to $4.1 million, $3.3 million of which the Company has already
paid. The Company believes that it has adequately reserved for the costs of
conducting the RIFS and implementing the interim remedial measure contemplated
by the consent order, but there is no assurance that the consent order will
ultimately resolve the matter. The Company has not ascertained what
responsibility, if any, it has for any contamination in connection with the
facility or what other parties may be liable in that connection and is unable to
predict whether its liability, if any, beyond that voluntarily assumed by the
consent order will have a material effect on its financial condition or results
of operations.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, CONTINUED
Whitehall Environmental Sampling
Pursuant to a work plan approved by the Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality ("MDEQ") the Company has performed sampling and analysis of soil,
sediments, surface water, groundwater and waste management areas at the
Company's Volunteer Leather Company facility in Whitehall, Michigan. On June 29,
1999, the Company submitted a remedial action plan (the "Plan") for the site to
MDEQ and subsequently amended it to include additional upland remediation to
bring the property into compliance with regulatory standards for non-industrial
uses. The Company, with the approval of MDEQ, previously installed horizontal
wells to capture groundwater from a portion of the site and treat it by air
sparging. The Plan proposed continued operation of this system for an indefinite
period and monitoring of groundwater samples to ensure that the system is
functioning as intended.
On June 30, 1999, the City of Whitehall filed an action against the Company in
the circuit court for the City of Muskegon alleging that the Company's and its
predecessors' past wastewater management practices have adversely affected the
environment, and seeking injunctive relief under Parts 17 and 201 of the
Michigan Natural Resources Environmental Protection Act ("MNREPA") to require
the Company to correct the alleged pollution, primarily lake sediment
contamination. Further, the City alleged violations of City ordinances
prohibiting blight and litter, and that the Whitehall Volunteer Leather plant
constitutes a public nuisance. The Company, the City of Whitehall and MDEQ
settled their disagreement over lake sediments for a lump sum payment of $3.35
million by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal 2003. In connection with
the settlement, the City's lawsuit has been dismissed with prejudice.
The Company believes it has fully provided for the Plan, which remains subject
to MDEQ approval. Although the Company does not expect remediation of the site
to have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations,
there can be no assurance that the Plan, as amended, will be approved, and the
Company is unable to predict whether any further remediation that might
ultimately be required would have such an effect.

BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company currently operates four reportable business segments (not including
corporate): Journeys, comprised of Journeys and Journeys Kidz retail footwear
chains; Jarman, comprised primarily of the Jarman and Underground Station retail
footwear chains; Johnston & Murphy, comprised of Johnston & Murphy retail
stores, direct marketing and wholesale distribution; and Licensed Brands,
comprised of Dockers and Nautica Footwear. The Company ended its license to
market footwear under the Nautica label, effective January 31, 2001. In Fiscal
2000 the Company operated the Other Retail segment, comprised of General Shoe
Warehouse and the Jarman Leased departments, both of which were closed in Fiscal
2000. All the Company's segments sell footwear products at either retail or
wholesale. The Company also operated the Leather segment in Fiscal 2000 and some
of Fiscal 2001. The Company sold certain assets of its Volunteer Leather
business on June 19, 2000, and has discontinued all Leather segment operations.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies.
The Company's reportable segments are based on the way management organizes the
segments in order to make operating decisions and assess performance along types
of products sold. Journeys and Jarman sells primarily branded products from
other companies while Johnston & Murphy and Licensed Brands sells primarily the
Company's owned and licensed brands.
Corporate assets include cash, deferred income taxes, prepaid pension cost and
deferred note expense. The Company does not allocate certain costs to each
segment in order to make decisions and assess performance. These costs include
corporate overhead, restructuring gains and losses, interest expense, interest
income, and other charges. Other includes severance, litigation and
environmental charges.
