5.   RESTRUCTURING OF SAVANE INTERNATIONAL CORP.

On April 18, 2002, the Company announced a plan to consolidate the administrative, cutting and related functions of the Savane division in El Paso, Texas into the Tampa, Florida facility. The Company has completed all aspects of this consolidation in the second fiscal quarter ending March 29, 2003. As part of the consolidation, the Company has vacated its El Paso, Texas administration building and cutting facility.

As a result of these initiatives (internally referred to as “Project Synergy”), the Company recorded exit accruals related to this consolidation during fiscal 2002. During the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003, the Company reduced certain of these exit accruals as the consolidation project has reached completion and better cost estimates were available. As of March 29, 2003, the Company has an accrual of approximately $2.0 million, related to exit costs, which primarily consist of lease terminations ($1.9 million) and related expenses ($0.1 million). The activity in the exit accruals related to Project Synergy during the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003 were as follows:

6.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (Statement No. 144), which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Statement No. 144 supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. The adoption of Statement No. 144 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (Statement No. 145), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” as well as an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements,” as debt extinguishments are no longer classified as extraordinary items unless they meet the requirements in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 of being unusual and infrequently occurring. The adoption of Statement No. 145 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (Statement No. 146), which is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Statement No. 146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force

-8-


Table of Contents

No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (EITF 94-3). Statement No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred and eliminates the definition and requirements of recognition of exit costs in EITF 94-3. The adoption of Statement No. 146 will affect the timing of recognition of costs associated with any future restructuring activities.

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (Statement No. 148), which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2002. Statement No. 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, Statement No. 148 amends the disclosure provisions of Statement 123 to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. The adoption of Statement No. 148 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

7.   STOCK OPTION PLAN PRO FORMA INFORMATION

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” (Statement No. 123) requires the use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equal the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

As discussed in Note 6, the interim information regarding pro forma net income and earnings per share is required by Statement No. 123 and Statement No. 148. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. The Company’s pro forma information is as follows (in thousands except for net income per share information):

                 
    Thirteen   Thirteen
    Weeks ended   Weeks ended
    March 29,   March 30,

No actual stock-based compensation cost was recorded by the Company in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

8.     SUPPLEMENTAL COMBINING CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2008 (the “Notes”) are jointly and severally guaranteed fully and unconditionally by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries which are 100% owned by Tropical Sportswear Int’l Corporation (the “Parent”). The Company’s wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries are not guarantors with respect to the Notes and do not have any credit arrangements senior to the Notes except for their local overdraft facilities and capital lease obligations.

The following is the unaudited supplemental combining condensed statement of operations for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003, and the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2002, the supplemental combining condensed balance sheet as of March 29, 2003 and September 28, 2002, and the supplemental combining condensed statement of cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003, and twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2002. The only intercompany eliminations are the normal intercompany sales, borrowings and investments in wholly-owned subsidiaries. Separate complete financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because management believes that they are not material to investors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other facts believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have chosen accounting policies that we believe are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial position, and we apply those accounting policies in a consistent manner. We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. We evaluate our inventory by style, color and size to determine excess or slow moving product based on projected sales. We record provisions for markdowns and losses on excess and slow-moving inventory to the extent the cost of inventory exceeds estimated net realizable value. If actual market conditions or competitive pressures change, the level of inventory reserves would change.

Reserve for Allowances and Doubtful Accounts – Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from our customers from our normal business activities. We maintain a reserve for allowances and doubtful accounts, which is based on historical collection and deduction write-off experience, and an estimate of

potential sales returns. Estimates for sales returns include provision for order shortages, purchase order variances and other customer discrepancies. For fiscal 2002, we did not provide a reserve for credit losses as substantially all of our receivables were assigned under factoring agreements, without recourse, except for credit losses on the first 0.10% of amounts factored. During fiscal 2003, we have discontinued factoring of our receivables, but have maintained credit insurance for those accounts which we deem necessary. We will continue to assess the adequacy of our reserves based on qualitative and quantitative measures.

Long-Lived Assets – We estimate the depreciable lives of our property, plant and equipment and review them for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may be impaired. Most of our property, plant and equipment is used in our cutting and distribution processes. We periodically evaluate the carrying value of assets which are held for sale to determine if, based on market conditions, the values of these assets should be adjusted. Although we believe we have appropriately recorded our assets held for sale at their estimated realizable value, net of estimated disposal costs, the actual sale of these assets could result in gains or losses which could differ from our estimated amounts. To assess the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets, we make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine whether the carrying values are recoverable from operations. If these assumptions or estimates change, we may be required to record impairment charges to reduce the value of these assets.

Valuation Allowances for Deferred Tax Assets - Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The evidence considered in making that determination includes, offsetting deferred tax liabilities, future taxable income, as well as prudent tax planning strategies. We have recorded deferred income tax assets related to state net operating loss carryforwards, foreign net operating loss carryforwards, foreign tax credit carryforwards and certain other accruals. We have recorded valuation allowances to reduce the deferred tax assets relating to these operating loss carryforwards and accruals based on an evaluation of the benefits expected to be realized. If we determine that we would be able to realize more of our net deferred tax assets than we currently expect, we would reduce the valuation allowance, which would have the effect of increasing income in the period that we make the determination. Conversely, if we determine that we will not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, we will increase the valuation allowance, which would have the effect of reducing income in the period that we make the determination.

Contingencies – The Company accrues for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when the obligations are probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include tax, legal and other regulatory matters such as imports and exports, which are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation process.

Results of Operations

On April 18, 2002 we announced a plan to consolidate the administrative, cutting and related functions of the Savane division in El Paso, Texas into the Tampa, Florida facility. We have completed all aspects of this consolidation in the second fiscal quarter ending March 29, 2003. As part of the consolidation, we vacated our El Paso, Texas administration building and cutting facility. We experienced delays and difficulties in consolidating our El Paso, Texas cutting functions into our Tampa, Florida facilities that have resulted in delays in delivering products to our customers and lost sales in our first quarter and second quarters of fiscal 2003. In addition, during the first six months of fiscal 2003, we recorded sales allowances of approximately $5.6 million related to delivery issues associated with the consolidation project.

On January 20, 2003, we announced an agreement with Swiss Army Brands, Inc. (“SABI”), whereby SABI will assume the operations of our Victorinox® apparel division by no later than May 15, 2003. We are working closely together with SABI to effect a seamless transition. On January 20, 2003, we also announced our intention to exit our Duck Head® retail outlet business as leases expire. We currently operate fourteen outlet stores and expect that by the end of calendar 2003, no more than eight will be in operation. We believe that exiting these two businesses will free up valuable resources that can be devoted to our core business.

Thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2003 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2002

     Net Sales. Net sales decreased to $112.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from $120.6 million in the comparable prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average price per unit. Net sales were also impacted by production and delivery issues associated with Project Synergy which resulted in higher sales allowances.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased to $23.0 million, or 20.4% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2003, from $33.9 million, or 28.1% of net sales, for the comparable prior year quarter. The reduction in the gross margin was primarily due to lower average selling prices and higher levels of closeout sales, coupled with an additional $1.2 million of allowances that we incurred due to late delivery issues. Additionally the Company’s higher margin branded sales were a smaller component of overall sales.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $20.3 million, or 18.0% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2003, from $24.3 million, or 20.2% of net sales, for the comparable prior year quarter. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to successful cost cutting measures, including reduced compensation, advertising and other discretionary spending reductions.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $2.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2003, from $3.6 million for the comparable prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings.

     Other, net. During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded other income of $1.0 million as compared with other expense of $0.1 for the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase is primarily due to gains on the sale of excess equipment and increased royalty income.

     Income Taxes. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 was 32.9% compared to 37.9% in the comparable prior year quarter. Due to the relatively low pretax income this quarter the effective rate appears unusually low. The effective rate for the year is expected to be approximately 38.5%

     Net Income. As a result of the above factors, net income decreased to $0.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from $3.7 million in the comparable prior year quarter.

Twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003 compared to the twenty- six weeks ended March 30, 2002

     Net Sales. Net sales decreased to $211.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003 from $230.6 million in the comparable prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the Company’s Domestic Wholesale level experiencing production issues related to Project Synergy, resulting in delays in delivering product to its customers, prior to March 2003. The Company incurred approximately $5.6 million of customer allowances.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased to $43.8 million, or 20.7% of net sales, for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003, from $65.6 million, or 28.4% of net sales, for the comparable prior year period. The reduction in the gross margin percentage was primarily due to lower average selling prices and customer allowances due to delivery issues coupled with higher levels of closeout sales. Additionally the Company’s higher margin branded sales were a smaller component of overall sales.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $42.6 million, or 20.1% of net sales, for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003, from $48.4 million, or 21.0% of net sales, for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to successful cost cutting measures, including reduced compensation, advertising and other discretionary spending reductions.

     Other Charges. Other charges of $3.8 million was comprised of a $5.3 million charge related to a separation agreement with the Company’s former chief executive officer, offset in part by a $1.5 million reduction of estimated costs for Project Synergy as the consolidation project has been completed and better cost estimates are available.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $5.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003, from $7.2 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings.

     Other, net. Other, net increased to $1.1 million in the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003, compared to income of $0.7 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily due to gains on the sale of excess equipment.

     Income Taxes. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003 was 38.3% compared to 37.6% in the comparable prior year period.

     Net Income. As a result of the above factors, the Company incurred a net loss of $4.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended March 2003 compared with net income of $6.6 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our revolving credit line (the “Facility”) provides for borrowings of up to $110.0 million, subject to certain borrowing base limitations. Borrowings under the Facility bear variable rates of interest and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets. As of March 29, 2003, the Company had $89.0 million of available borrowings under the Facility. The Facility matures in June 2003 and we intend to and are in the process of renewing the Facility. We expect to renew the facility before its expiration under similar terms but for maximum borrowings of $95.0 million.

In June 2002, the Company completed a public offering of 3.0 million shares of common stock. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $63.2 million, of which approximately $32.0 million was used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the Facility, to pay down a portion of the Company’s real estate loan, and to repay certain capital lease obligations. The remaining $31.2 million was used for the payment of the cash portion of the Project Synergy charges, the construction of a new administration facility in Tampa, Florida and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Capital expenditures totaled $11.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003 and are expected to approximate $16.0 to $17.0 million for the entire fiscal year. The expenditures expected for the remainder of the fiscal year primarily relate to the construction of an administration building in Tampa, Florida, which is expected to be completed during the quarter ended June 2003, and the upgrade or replacement of various other equipment and computer systems including hardware and software.

During the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2003, we used $42.7 million of cash in our operations. This was primarily the result of a net loss of $4.4 million (which included non-cash expenses of $2.5 million), an increase in inventories of $23.4 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $9.0 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $2.3 million, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $6.1 million.

We believe that our existing working capital, and borrowings available under our Facility provide sufficient resources to support current business activities.

Seasonality

Our business has been generally seasonal, with higher sales and income in the second and third fiscal quarters. Also, some of our products, such as shorts and corduroy pants, tend to be seasonal in nature. If these types of seasonal products represent a greater percentage of our sales in the future, the seasonality of our sales may be increased. This could alter the differences in sales and income levels in the second and third fiscal quarters from the first and fourth fiscal quarters.
