PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Sport-Haley designs, contracts for the manufacture of, and markets
men's and women's quality fashion golf apparel known for its innovative
design, quality fabrics, generous fit and classic style. The Company's
apparel is sold under the distinctive Haley-Registered Trademark- label in
the premium and mid-price market through a network of independent sales
representatives and distributors, primarily to golf professional shops,
country clubs and resorts throughout the United States and internationally.
The Company has historically marketed its apparel to higher quality golf
professional shops, which generally offer superior customer service and which
enhance the appeal of the Haley brand name. These golf professional shops
prefer to sell quality apparel which is not broadly distributed in the retail
market. The Company has, over the years, expanded its marketing program and
is currently focusing those expanded marketing efforts on the corporate
market. The Company custom embroiders a majority of its men's apparel with a
customer's club, resort, or corporate logo, thereby promoting the image of
both Sport-Haley and its customers and enhancing the marketability of the
Company's products. Sport-Haley's apparel is presented semi-annually to the
golf industry in spring and fall collections. The Company was incorporated in
Colorado in January 1991. Its principal executive offices are located at 4600
East 48th Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80216, and its telephone number is (303)
320-8800.
PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT DESIGN
The Company's golf apparel currently consists of a men's line, a
women's line, the Elements line and a headwear line, all four of which are
marketed under the distinctive Haley-Registered Trademark- label. The Company
introduces spring and fall collections of those lines at the two major
industry trade shows, generally held in January and September of each year.
The spring collection typically accounts for approximately 60% of sales, with
the fall collection accounting for the remaining sales.
As the Company's sales have increased, the Company has expanded the
number of items available in each of the men's and women's lines, offering a
more extensive selection of styles, colors and fabrics. Each of the men's and
women's lines currently has between 130 and 150 pieces of apparel, including
shirts, pullovers, vests, shorts, sweaters, jackets and pants. The Company
also expanded the lines available by introducing the "Elements line" in
January 1996 and a headwear line in the fall of 1996. The Elements line is a
collection of outerwear for both men and women, currently consisting of over
80 pieces of apparel items such as rain suits, casual jackets, windshirts,
vests and pants. The headwear line consists of high quality fabric caps and
visors, designed in popular styles and a range of colors, typically
embroidered with the Company logo or a customer logo.
The Company's golf apparel is sold in the premium and mid- price
market. Apparel designed for premium pricing features larger sizing, higher
quality materials and more detailed designs. The following table sets forth
information regarding suggested retail price ranges for various apparel items.

The Company's golf apparel is designed in the classic style with
contemporary influences intended to develop and maintain brand recognition
and loyalty. Each product in a line of apparel is sold separately, although
the Company's designers use coordinated styles, color schemes and fabrics to
encourage purchase of multiple garments and headwear. The Company's garments
are manufactured from a variety of fabrics and weave patterns, including
interlock, pique, french terry and twill, and feature a unique trim, a
special fabric finish and extra needlework. Most of the garments are made
from 100% cotton fabric. The exceptions are certain women's apparel made of
silk and rayon and certain garments in the Elements outerwear line which use
Gore-tex-Registered Trademark- products, including Gore
Windstopper-Registered Trademark- fabric, non-exclusive rights to which are
licensed by the Company.
The design function within the Company is closely attuned to both
sales and production operations. The design process for each collection is an
ongoing process of coloring, styling, manufacturing of sample products and
the selection of sewing techniques. The Company relies on in-house designers
as well as outside contract designers in the development of its apparel
collections. The Company's design staff is responsible for coordinating
pattern and sample making, negotiating price and quantity with cutting and
sewing contractors, purchasing fabric and trim, and coordinating production
schedules with the Company's production personnel. The design staff also
coordinates inspection of fabric supplies, as well as sample testing of
fabric for shrinkage and colorfastness.
A majority of the men's apparel, and a smaller percentage of
women's apparel, is custom embroidered with a customer's club or resort logo
or the Company's Haley logo. In addition, the Company custom embroiders
shirts and other garments for tournaments, promotional events, and corporate
sales and gifts. Custom embroidery is performed on the Company's premises
using ten computer-controlled embroidering machines which together can
embroider over 3,000 custom logos in the two 8-hour daily shifts. The Company
currently has a library of over 3,000 custom logos. Embroidery charges are
added to the customer's wholesale cost and therefore represent an additional
source of revenue to the Company.
SALES AND MARKETING
OVERVIEW. The Company's marketing strategy is to enhance its
position as a leading provider of fashion golf apparel by capitalizing on the
market awareness of the Haley brand name and expanding distribution of
existing and proposed apparel lines. The Company intends to implement this
strategy by (i) increasing distribution through expansion of its network of
independent sales representatives, adding new golf professional shops to its
customer base and increasing purchases from existing customers, (ii) adding
new product lines, (iii) securing and exploiting distribution arrangements
for international sales, (iv) diversifying product lines by developing new
styles and designs which are natural variations on its existing apparel
designs, and (iv) increasing market penetration in the corporate market.
In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 ("fiscal 1998"),
approximately 84% of the Company's sales were made to domestic and foreign
golf course professional shops, country clubs and resorts. Approximately 15%
of the balance of the Company's sales were made to corporate, special event
and retail customers and the remaining 1% was sold through the Company's
factory outlet store in Laughlin, Nevada. No single customer accounted for 5%
or more of the Company's net sales.
GOLF PROFESSIONAL SHOPS, COUNTRY CLUBS AND RESORTS. Domestic sales
are made primarily through a network of approximately 34 independent sales
representatives who sell the Company's apparel, on a commission basis,
primarily to golf professional shops, country clubs and resorts. These
independent sales representatives, many of whom may also carry other
golf-related lines, are responsible for generating and serving customers in a
specific geographic territory. In January 1997, the Company starting entering
into buying programs with various entities whose golf professional shop members
can purchase directly from the Company under the programs. These buying programs
accounted for less than 10% of sales in fiscal 1998. International sales are
made through distributors in Canada, Puerto Rico, the Carribean Islands, Mexico,
Ireland, Japan, Chile, portions of Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Hong Kong,
Portugal and for U.S. military bases overseas. Although the Company has
-3-
distributors in foreign countries, historically most of its sales have been
in the United States. Foreign sales represented only approximately 2% of
sales in fiscal 1998.
The Company's sales and marketing employees are responsible for
implementing marketing plans and sales programs, coordinating the Company's
network of independent sales representatives, providing customer service and
participating in industry trade shows. The Company supports the sales
activities of the independent sales representatives and distributors by
making customer service personnel available to them, providing detailed
catalogs for each collection which present pricing, sizing and style options,
and providing access to the Company's VRLink, a private electronic network
designed for the apparel industry. Using notebook computers, the
representatives can access current inventory availability and create and
transmit orders from a remote location, which enhances the representatives'
order processing speed and accuracy and reduces the risk of orders which
cannot be timely filled. VRLink also interfaces with the Company's management
system which provides management with key sales data which facilitates
planning, production scheduling, product tracking and standard cost control.
The Company also maintains a homepage at "www.sporthaley.com" on the
internet. The page is purely informational at present, providing limited
information about the Company and its apparel.
The Company introduces its golf apparel collections at the two
major golf industry trade shows held generally in January and September of
each year in Orlando, Florida, and Las Vegas, Nevada, respectively. Because
many buyers for golf professional shops attend one or both of these trade
shows, the Company will usually receive a significant number of customer
orders at or following each trade show. At these trade shows, the Company
also obtains consumer response to apparel designs, fabrics and styles and
other information necessary to prepare more accurate and detailed sales
forecasts.
In order to enhance the visibility of the Haley brand, the Company
has endorsement agreements with several select PGA and LPGA professionals.
The Company also has an agreement with a Canadian Tour professional, which
exemplifies the Company's commitment to the international markets. The
endorsement agreements generally provide that the professionals will endorse
and wear the Company's apparel. The compensation received by the endorsing
professionals consists of apparel allowances and in some cases, cash. In the
past, the Company granted stock options based upon the professionals
achieving certain benchmarks at designated PGA Tour or other major
tournaments as a portion of the professionals' endorsement compensation.
The Company advertises its apparel in several golf industry
publications which are distributed primarily to operators of golf
professional shops. The Company also expends a portion of its advertising
budget to support the sales activities of its network of independent sales
representatives. International distributors provide and pay for advertising
in their respective geographic territories.
CORPORATE MARKET. The Company believes that there is a natural
synergy between the golf market and corporate market as both markets can be
served from substantially the same inventory, allowing the Company to respond
quickly to a shifting demand in either market. The Company has developed
several direct corporate accounts. In March 1998, the Company hired a new
Vice President of Corporate Sales to pursue sales in the corporate market
more aggressively. The Company is actively pursuing this market primarily
though promotional product companies, who source and supply a variety of
products for corporate fulfillment programs and special events. These
promotional product companies generally create a corporate catalog containing
products bearing the corporate logo, which products are used for employee
recognition, customer appreciation and other corporate purposes. The
promotional product company will also source and supply a specific product or
products for special events sponsored by the corporation. The Company's
apparel is currently appearing, or confirmed to appear, in a variety of
catalogs, including catalogs for several Fortune 500 companies. The Company
does not enter into a formal agreement or contract with these promotional
product companies but does agree that it will keep an inventory of the
products advertised in any specific catalog during the period the catalog is
being used, generally a one year period. The Company generally selects a
limited number of its most popular styles of golf apparel
-4-
and includes those in its corporate catalog. As this inventory must be
maintained for a longer period of time, the Company does not feature two
different annual collections in its corporate catalog.
RETAIL AND FACTORY OUTLET SALES. The Company sells a small
percentage of its apparel in the upscale retail market. The Company also
maintains a 2,200 square feet factory outlet store in Laughlin, Nevada. Since
June 1996, the Company has used this facility to sell close-out inventory and
discontinued styles at discounted retail prices, as opposed to discounted
wholesale prices, enabling the Company to maximize sales revenue attributable
to close-out inventory.
COMPETITION
The golf apparel market, both domestically or internationally, is
highly fragmented and no single company has in excess of 10% of the market.
The Company currently views Ashworth, Izod Club, Polo/Ralph Lauren
Corporation, Tommy Hilfiger and Cutter & Buck Inc. as its most significant
competitors in the golf apparel market. In addition to competing with golf
apparel manufacturers, the Company must also compete with manufacturers of
high quality men's and women's sportswear and general leisure wear such as
Nike, Polo/Ralph Lauren Corporation, Tommy Hilfiger and Nautica Enterprises
Inc. Many of these same companies are competitors in the corporate market.
Competition is intense and is based primarily on brand recognition and
loyalty, quality, price, style and design, service and availability of shelf
space in the golf apparel market. Many of the Company's competitors have
longer operating histories, better name recognition and greater financial,
marketing and other resources than the Company. Because of the intense
competition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
increase or even maintain its market share or that it will not be required to
reduce prices or accept reduced margins.
RAW MATERIALS SOURCING AND FINISHED GOODS PURCHASING
The Company purchases its fabric in bulk from approximately 15
different domestic and foreign mills, the seven largest of which accounted
for approximately 68% of the Company's fabric expenditures in fiscal 1998.
Substantially all of the Company's apparel is manufactured with 100% cotton
fabrics, except certain women's apparel made of silk and rayon and certain
garments in the Elements outerwear line which use the Gore
Windstopper-Registered Trademark- fabric. The Company utilizes various
suppliers to provide different portions of the Elements line, but loss of one
or more of these suppliers could potentially affect the Company's ability to
make timely delivery of outerwear. The Company's raw materials also include
trim consisting principally of buttons, collars, bands, linings, labels,
zippers and headwear components such as bills and adjustable bands. The
Company purchased trim from several suppliers during fiscal 1998, with the
four largest suppliers accounting for approximately 80% of total trim
expenditures.
The Company does not have any formal contractual arrangements for
the purchase of raw materials from its suppliers, but issues purchase orders
as raw materials are required. Although the Company believes that all of the
components of its apparel are available from a large number of domestic and
foreign sources, the inability of the Company to secure raw materials from
existing suppliers during periods of high seasonal demand could result in
delays in deliveries to customers, thereby adversely affecting the Company's
profitability.
The Company's production personnel oversee its raw material
sourcing. Production personnel are responsible for ensuring on-time delivery
of raw materials and negotiating costs consistent with the Company's desired
profit margins. Production personnel inspect samples of each item prior to
the commencement of actual production and consult with design personnel in
order to ensure that the Company's high quality standards are maintained.
The Company also purchases finished goods which are manufactured by
outside suppliers to the Company's specifications. The Company assists
outside suppliers in sourcing of raw materials for these finished
-5-
products, but does not purchase the fabric and trim for the suppliers. In
fiscal 1998, the Company estimates that approximately 15% to 20% of the
Company's apparel was purchased as finished goods.
MANUFACTURING
With the exception of embroidery operations and headwear sewing and
assembly which are done at the Company's facility in Denver, Colorado., all
manufacturing activities are undertaken by "cutting and sewing" contractors.
Following the purchase of raw materials, the Company arranges for shipment of
these materials directly to cutting and sewing contractors who are located
primarily in the United States and its territories. These contractors are
responsible for cutting and sewing apparel to the Company's specifications.
During fiscal 1998, the Company used nine cutting and sewing contractors,
although approximately 75% of the Company's apparel was produced by five of
these cutting and sewing contractors. In April 1998, the Company acquired a
52% ownership interest in one of its principal cutting and sewing
contractors. As a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company (the
"Subsidiary"), that contractor is manufacturing exclusively for the Company.
Purchase of the contractor assures the Company of the manufacturing capacity
necessary to expand corporate and retail sales and to position the Company
to remain competitive and maintain historical margins. The Company has no
contractual arrangements other than purchase orders with any of its other
cutting and sewing contractors and believes that these services may be
purchased by the Company from a large number of domestic and foreign sources.
The Company receives its orders for the spring or fall collections
over a period commencing when samples are first shown to customers and
continuing through the season. The Company must schedule production in
advance of order placement, although it can respond to order trends over the
period by sequencing production with reorders. Because production of the
Company's apparel collections is time-sensitive, the Company devotes
considerable efforts to the preparation of forecasts of apparel sales by item
and style. The Company's computer management system provides management with
key data which facilitates planning, production scheduling, product tracking
and standard cost control, as well as providing a perpetual inventory record
and inventory availability.
Finished apparel is shipped to the Company's warehouse facilities
in Denver, Colorado, for embroidery, final inspection by the Company's
quality assurance personnel, packaging and shipping. The Company maintains
ten computer-controlled embroidering machines on its premises which together
can embroider a minimum of 3,000 custom logos in the two 8-hour daily shifts
run by the Company. One of the Company's 15-head embroidery machines is used
primarily for headwear embroidery operations. A majority of the Company's
men's shirts are custom embroidered with a golf course, country club, resort
or company logo, or with the Company's own Haley logo. A lesser percentage of
women's apparel is similarly embroidered.
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Golf apparel sales in golf professional shops tend to be seasonal
in nature, with a disproportionate share of sales occurring from January
through June, which are the Company's third and fourth fiscal quarters of
each year. Note 25 in the accompanying financial statements shows unaudited
quarterly comparisons of sales during the past two fiscal years. Increases in
sales in other markets, such as the corporate market and the international
market, should reduce the impact of seasonality.
The amount of backlog at any particular time is affected by a
number of factors, including the timely flow of product from suppliers and
contractors, which can impact the Company's ability to ship on time, and
timing of orders from customers. Accordingly, a comparison of the Company's
very small backlog of orders from period to period is not necessarily
meaningful and may not be indicative of eventual actual shipments during any
specific period. In addition, the Company ships partial orders if they are at
least 75% to 80% complete. Orders may be changed or canceled up to 30 days
prior to the ship date of the order. The Company does not sell its apparel on
consignment nor accept returns of purchased apparel other than apparel which
is damaged or which is delivered after the specified delivery date. The
Company's returns and allowances were approximately 3% of net sales in
-6-
fiscal 1997 and 4% in fiscal 1998. The Company's experience has been that the
cancellations, rejections or returns of orders do not materially reduce the
amount of sales realized from its backlog.
TRADEMARK
The Company markets its products under the Haley label. The
Company has registered the Haley mark and the distinctive "H" design with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Company has also registered
the Haley mark in a number of foreign countries.
EMPLOYEES
At June 30, 1998, the Company had 130 full-time employees and 12
part-time employees, including 35 full-time and two part-time administrative
employees, 10 marketing employees, 69 full-time and 3 part-time personnel in
inspection, packaging, embroidering and distribution operations, one
full-time and seven part-time retail employees in the factory outlet store,
and 15 full-time employees in headwear operations. The Company's employees
are not represented by a union and the Company considers its relations with
its employees to be good. The Company's Subsidiary has four administrative
employees and 97 manufacturing employees.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
The Company utilizes an integrated computer system to manage all
business transactions, historical data and record keeping, from sourcing to
warehousing to embroidery to shipping. This system provides information to
all departments in the Company's infrastructure. The VRLink system used by
the Company's sales representatives interfaces with the main system to
provide sales representatives with inventory information and order entry
capability which has allowed the sales force to order against actual
inventory availability. The Company's computer system has improved the
Company's operations by providing information critical to forecasting such as
analysis of sales history, purchasing history, and future customer commitments
which allows the Company to better manage and purchase inventory. It also has
allows the Company to control and manage existing inventory.
YEAR 2000 COMPUTER CONVERSION
The Company is cognizant of the issues associated with the
programming code in existing computer systems as the Year 2000 approaches.
The "Year 2000" problem is pervasive and complex, as virtually every computer
operation will be affected in some way. Many currently installed computer
systems and software products are coded to accept only two-digit entries in
the date code field. These date code fields will need to accept four digit
entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. The issue
is whether computer systems will properly recognize date-sensitive
information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not properly
recognize such information could generate erroneous data or fail.
As a result, in less than two years, computer systems and/or
software used by the Company will need to be upgraded to comply with such
Year 2000 requirements. The Company is presently evaluating and upgrading its
software and hardware so that its computer systems will function properly
with respect to Year 2000 and beyond. The Company does not anticipate any
material expenditures will be required in future periods to achieve Year 2000
compliance.The Company has initiated discussions with significant suppliers,
large customers and financial institutions to ensure those parties have
appropriate plans to solve Year 2000 issues where their systems interface
with the Company's system or otherwise impact its operations. The Company is
assessing the extent to which its operations are vulnerable should those
organizations fail to properly solve Year 2000 issues, if any.

uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
the Company's actual plan of operations, business strategy, operating results
and financial position could differ materially from those expressed in, or
implied by, such forward-looking statements.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's executive offices and warehouse facilities are
located in Denver, Colorado and consist of 96,500 square feet of floor space.
The facility is currently leased for an annual base rent of approximately
$198,300, which increases incrementally to $206,000 in 2001. The Company is
obligated to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses for the leased
space through expiration of the lease in October 2001. The Company also
leases approximately 2,200 square feet of retail space in its factory outlet
store in Laughlin, Nevada. The annual base rental for this space is $44,000
during the first three years of the lease and $48,000 for the remaining four
years. The Company's majority owned Subsidiary leases 22,000 square foot of
manufacturing facilities in Four Oaks, North Carolina from the Subsidiary's
two minority shareholders. The lease commenced on April 1, 1998 and expires
March 31, 2008, subject to the Subsidiary's right to extend the lease term
for two additional five year periods. The annual lease payments are $64,991
and the Subsidiary must pay all utilities, taxes, insurance and certain
fixture repairs.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
At June 30, 1998, the Company was not a party to any material legal
proceeding. However, the Company and its Chief Executive Officer are named
as defendants in counterclaims to a complaint filed by the Company against a
former officer, director and principal shareholder of the Company. The
Company's complaint alleges breach of a consulting and non-compete agreement,
breach of duty of loyalty and interference with contracts. The counterclaim
against the Company alleges breach of the agreement and defamation and the
counterclaim against the Company's Chief Executive Officer alleges
defamation. The Company's Chief Executive Officer filed a counterclaim
alleging breach of the agreement and defamation. The Company and its Chief
Executive Officer deny the counterclaim allegations and intend to vigorously
prosecute this action. Although the eventual outcome cannot be predicted,
management believes that neither the Company's financial position nor results
of its operations will be materially affected by this legal proceeding.

COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997. Net sales
for the year ended June 30, 1998 ("fiscal 1998") were approximately $31.3
million, an increase of approximately $2.4 million, or 8%, as compared to
approximately $28.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 ("fiscal
1997"). This increase was due to many of the same factors which have
contributed to increases in prior years, including a greater number of
products offered within each line, greater sales volume, greater market
penetration, and higher sales per account. Other factors which contributed to
the increase during fiscal 1998 were a full year's sales of the headwear line
and growth in the Elements line. The men's and women's line accounted for
approximately 45% and 44%, respectively, of total net sales, the Elements
line accounted for approximately 8% of total net sales and the headwear line
accounted for approximately 3%. Although net sales increased, growth was
slower than it has been historically. Management believes that sales growth
was negatively impacted by canceled sales orders and increased returns and
allowance costs, primarily resulting from late shipments during the UPS strike.
Management also believes that inclement weather attributed to El Nino
dampened sales in fiscal 1998 to many of its golf professional shops in
California, North and South Carolina, Florida and Arizona.
Gross profit increased by approximately $800,000, or 7%, from
approximately $12.1 million in fiscal 1997 to approximately $12.9 million in
fiscal 1998. Increased sales was the primary factor contributing to this
increase. The cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased
slightly due to certain overhead costs which must be included in cost of
goods sold and higher shipping costs during the UPS strike. This percentage
increase in cost of goods sold resulted in a corresponding slight decrease in
gross profit as a percentage of net sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 1998 were
approximately $7.7 million, an increase of approximately $700,000, or
approximately 10%, compared to $7.0 million for fiscal 1997. As in prior
years, factors contributing to the increase included commissions to
independent sales representatives on higher sales levels and increased
marketing expenditures. Selling, general and administrative expenses for
fiscal 1998 increased only slightly as a percentage of net sales, from 24.1%
in fiscal 1997 to 24.5% in fiscal 1998.
-11-
Net other income and expenses decreased from approximately $389,000
in fiscal 1997 to approximately $285,000 in fiscal 1998, resulting primarily
from a decrease in investment income, a write down of a security and no tax
refund as in the prior year.
Income before minority interest and provision for income taxes of
approximately $5.5 million in fiscal 1997 decreased by approximately $3,000.
In fiscal 1998, the Company acquired a 52% interest in one of its cutting and
sewing contractors. The minority shareholders' share of income of
approximately $6,000 was deducted from income. Provision for income taxes
decreased approximately $351,000 from approximately $1.6 million in fiscal
1997 to approximately $1.2 million in fiscal 1998 with the effective tax rate
for fiscal 1997 being 29% and for fiscal 1998 being 23%. The decrease in the
tax rate in fiscal 1998 was because of a higher deduction for stock
option compensation recognized for tax purposes but not recorded on the
Company's books for financial statement purposes.
Net income increased from approximately $3.9 million in fiscal 1997
to approximately $4.3 million in fiscal 1998, an increase of 10%. This
increase can be attributed to the factors discussed above, and resulted
primarily from increases in sales volume, the Company's control of the cost
of goods and corresponding margins, its control of operating expenditures and
a decrease in income taxes.
COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996. Net sales
for the year ended June 30, 1997 ("fiscal 1997") were $28.9 million, an
increase of $8.6 million, or approximately 42%, as compared to $20.3 million
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 ("fiscal 1996"). This increase was
due to many of the same factors which have contributed to increases in the
prior years, including a greater number of products offered within each line,
greater market penetration, and higher sales per account. Other factors which
contributed to the increase during fiscal 1997 were a full year's sales of
the Elements line, the introduction of the headwear line and the opening of
the factory outlet store. The men's and women's line accounted for
approximately 52% and 47%, respectively, of total net sales. Men's line and
women's line sales increased 52% and 31%, respectively, in fiscal 1997 over
fiscal 1996.
Gross profit increased by $3.5 million, or approximately 41%, from
$8.6 million in fiscal 1996 to $12.1 million in fiscal 1997. The increase in
gross profit was primarily a result of the same factors as in prior years,
which were a combination of increased sales, volume purchasing of raw
materials and better pricing from outside cutting and sewing contractors. The
cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased slightly due to an
increase in certain design costs and due to changes in the product sales mix,
as the various lines have different margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 1997 were
$7.0 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or approximately 40%, compared to
$5.0 million for fiscal 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to
payroll costs associated with the additional personnel required to handle
increased sales volume, manufacturing of the headwear line and operation of
the factory outlet store. In addition, as in prior years, other factors
contributing to the increase included commissions to independent sales
representatives on higher sales levels and increased advertising and
marketing expenditures. And finally, the Company incurred lease expense for
the factory outlet store and a full years' increased costs for the additional
space leased at the Company's facility for the new headwear line. However, as
a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased from 24.6% in fiscal 1996 to 24.1% in fiscal 1997.
Net other income and expenses increased from $353,000 in fiscal
1996 to $389,000 in fiscal 1997, resulting primarily from an increase in
interest earned on invested funds and an income tax refund, offset by
expenditures to repurchase non-qualified stock options.
Income before provision for income taxes increased $1.6 million, or
approximately 41%, from $3.9 million in fiscal 1996 to $5.5 million in fiscal
1997. Provision for income taxes increased $136,000 from $1.5 million in
fiscal 1996 to $1.6 million in fiscal 1997. Income taxes for both of these
fiscal years were affected by
-12-
certain income tax timing differences between book and taxable income. The
effective tax rate for fiscal 1996 was 37% and for fiscal 1997 was 29%.
Net income increased from $2.5 million in fiscal 1996 to $3.9
million in fiscal 1997, an increase of 56%. This increase can be attributed
to the factors discussed above, but resulted primarily from increases in
sales volume and the Company's control of cost of goods sold and operating
expenditures. This represents growth in net income as a percentage of net
sales from 12.2% in fiscal 1996 to 13.5% in fiscal 1997.
COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995. Net sales
for fiscal 1996 were approximately $20.3 million, an increase of $7.7
million, or approximately 61%, as compared to approximately $12.6 million for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 ("fiscal 1995"). This increase was due to
a combination of factors, including a greater number of products offered
within each line, greater market penetration, and higher sales per account
among a majority of accounts. The men's and women's line each accounted for
approximately 50% of total net sales. Men's line and women's line sales
increased 58% and 67%, respectively, in fiscal 1996 over fiscal 1995.
Gross profit increased by $3.5 million, or 68%, from $5.1 million
in fiscal 1995 to $8.6 million in fiscal 1996. The decrease in cost of goods
sold as a percentage of net sales and the increase in gross profit as a
percentage of net sales was primarily a result of the combination of
increased sales, volume purchasing of raw materials and greater economies in
the utilization of outside contractors for manufacturing services.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 1996 were
$5.0 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or approximately 52%, compared to
$3.3 million for fiscal 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to
personnel additions necessary to handle increased sales volume, commissions
to independent sales representatives on higher sales levels, increased
advertising and marketing expenditures, and increased costs for the
additional space leased at the Company's facility during fiscal 1996 for its
new headwear division. However, as a percentage of net sales, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased from 26.7% in fiscal 1995 to
24.6% in fiscal 1996.
Net other income increased from $279,000 in fiscal 1995 to $353,000
in fiscal 1996, resulting primarily from increased interest on invested funds.
Income before provision for income taxes increased $1.9 million, or
approximately 95%, from $2.0 million in fiscal 1995 to $3.9 million in fiscal
1996. Provision for income taxes increased $711,000 from $743,000 in fiscal
1995 to $1.5 million in fiscal 1996. Income taxes for both of these fiscal
years were affected by certain tax timing differences between book and
taxable income. The effective tax rate for each of the two years was 37%.
Net income increased from $1.3 million in fiscal 1995 to $2.5
million in fiscal 1996, or 92%. This increase can be attributed to increases
in sales volume, and the Company's control of cost of goods sold and
operating expenditures. This represents growth in net income as a percentage
of net sales from 10% in fiscal 1995 to 12% in fiscal 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has experienced significant growth in the past five
years, with its net sales increasing from $4.0 million in fiscal 1993 to
$31.3 million in fiscal 1998. Historically, the Company has financed its
operations through a combination of bank loans, related party borrowings, the
private and public sale of equity, and revenue from operations.
-13-
Since April 1994, the Company maintained a revolving line of credit
with the same bank. The revolving line of credit agreement, which has been
renewed through October 31, 1999, provides for interest at 1/2% below the
bank's prime rate. At the time of its most recent renewal, the revolving line
of credit provided for a maximum loan amount of $10.0 million. Subsequent to
the purchase of the Subsidiary, the revolving line of credit agreement was
amended and divided into two agreements, one of which provides for a maximum
loan amount of $9.0 million to the Company secured by a lien on substantially
all of the Company's assets and the other of which provides for a maximum
loan amount of $1.0 million to the Subsidiary secured by a lien on
substantially all of the Subsidiary's assets. The Company generally maintains
its line of credit solely to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit for
inventory purchases from offshore suppliers and to fund any temporary working
capital needs. The Subsidiary drew approximately $500,000 on its revolving
line of credit in May of 1998 in order to repay a $386,317 loan made by the
Company to the Subsidiary at closing of the Subsidiary's acquisition, to
purchase additional equipment and to use as operating capital.
In March and April, 1996 the Company completed a public offering of
1,020,000 shares of its Common Stock, which included an over allotment of
150,000 shares. The Common Stock was offered at $10.50 per share. The Company
realized gross proceeds of approximately $10.7 million and net proceeds of
approximately $9.6 million after deducting stock offering costs of
approximately $1.1 million. The Company used a portion of the proceeds to
fund expenditures related to its new headwear operations and has retained the
balance of the proceeds to finance, as needed, growth in inventories,
accounts receivable and other operating expenditures. The Company has also
received $688,000 and $1.9 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock
options and warrants during fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997, respectively.
Since December 1994, management has had the Board of Directors'
authorization to repurchase shares of the Company's Common Stock. Of the
850,000 shares which have been authorized for repurchase, 400,000 had been
repurchased at June 30, 1998 at an aggregate cost of approximately $4.7
million. In fiscal 1998, the Company repurchased 240,000 shares at a cost of
approximately $2.7 million. The Board's authorization is based on its belief
that the Company's Common Stock is underpriced at times given its earnings
and prospects. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market
transactions at prevailing market prices. The Company has no commitment or
obligation to purchase all or any portion of the authorized shares. All
shares purchased are canceled and returned to the status of authorized but
unissued Common Stock.
Net cash used by operating activities totaled approximately $2.2
million for fiscal 1998 as compared to net cash provided by operating
activities of $100,000 in fiscal 1997. The primary component of cash used in
operating activities was inventory. Inventory increased to $17.9 million at
June 30, 1998 as compared to $10.0 million at June 30, 1997. The growth in
inventory reflects trends in sales, the determination to expand corporate
sales and the consequential necessity to carry inventory for a period of one
to three years to fulfill corporate catalog orders, a slight change in the
manufacturing timetable to ensure timely deliveries of the fall collection,
and the success of the Elements line.
Working capital requirements are expected to continue to grow as
the Company expands its inventory and, seeks to increase sales. Working
capital was approximately $28.7 million at June 30, 1998, compared to
approximately $26.3 million and $21.4 million at the end of fiscal 1997 and
1996, respectively. In March 1998, the Company acquired 52% of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Subsidiary for $171,980 in cash
paid out of working capital. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and
cash equivalents of approximately $6.5 million.
The Company intends to rely on cash generated from operations and
cash from investments to finance its working capital requirements for at
least the next 12 months. To the extent such amounts are insufficient to
finance the Company's working capital requirements, the Company may also
periodically borrow under its revolving line of credit.
-14-
All of the Company's purchases from off-shore manufacturers and
sales to foreign distributors are U.S. Dollar denominated and, consequently,
there is no currency exchange risk.
Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on
the Company's results of operations during the three most recent fiscal years.

accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
gain are based on the assumed rates of annual compound stock price
appreciation of 5% and 10% from the date the option was granted over the full
option term and do not represent any assurance that the shares of Common
Stock will appreciate in value. The actual value realized may be greater or
less than the potential realizable value set forth in the table.

No employee of the Company receives any additional compensation for
his services as a director. Non-management directors receive no salary for
their services as such, but receive a fee of $250 per meeting attended. The
Board of Directors has also authorized payment of reasonable travel or other
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by non-management directors in attending
meetings of the Board of Directors. During fiscal 1998, no non-employee
directors were granted any options.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS. Effective January 1, 1997, the Company
entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Robert G. Tomlinson. The
agreement requires that he devote his full business time to the Company as
Chief Executive Officer and/or Chairman of the Board at an annual salary of
$200,000, be provided an automobile and such bonuses as awarded by the Board
of Directors. The employment agreement extends for a three-year term. Mr.
Tomlinson has the option to convert the employment agreement to a consulting
agreement in the event of a change in control of the Company or upon his
resignation. Subject to the right of the Company to terminate the consulting
agreement for cause, Mr. Tomlinson is entitled to serve as a consultant to
the Company for the duration of the agreement and to continue to receive
compensation in the amount of 60% of his annual salary. If Mr. Tomlinson
terminates the agreement with "cause" (as defined in the agreement), or the
Company terminates the agreement for other than "cause" (as defined in the
agreement), or if there is a change in control of the Company or if Mr.
Tomlinson dies, Mr. Tomlinson or his estate, as applicable, is entitled to
receive severance compensation for three years from the date of termination
in an amount equal to his annual salary and bonus payments during the
preceding 12 months. During the time he is receiving such severance
compensation, he is
-19-
entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, at the Company's
expense. The change of control provisions and death benefits entitle Mr.
Tomlinson or his estate, as applicable, to receive such amount in a lump sum.
If Mr. Tomlinson becomes totally disabled during the term of the agreement,
his full salary will be continued for one year from the date of disability.
If termination is for any reason other than by the Company with cause, all
options previously granted shall become fully vested on the date of
termination. The agreement contains a non-competition provision for one year
following termination.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company entered into an employment
agreement with Mr. Robert W. Haley. The agreement requires that he devote his
full business time to the Company as President or Senior Executive Officer at
an annual salary of $160,000 and such bonuses as awarded by the Board of
Directors. The employment agreement extends through December 31, 1998. If the
Company terminates the agreement for other than "cause" (as defined in the
agreement), Mr. Haley is entitled to receive severance compensation for one
year from the date of termination in an amount equal to his annual salary and
bonus payment during the preceding 12 months. If Mr. Haley terminates the
agreement with or without cause, Mr. Haley is entitled to receive severance
compensation for one year in an amount equal to 60% of his annual salary and
bonus payment during the preceding 12 months. During the time he is receiving
any such severance compensation, he is eligible to participate in all
employee benefit plans, at the Company's expense. If there is a
non-negotiated change in control of the Company or if Mr. Haley dies, Mr.
Haley or his estate, as applicable, is entitled to lump sum severance
compensation equal to three times his annual salary and bonus payment during
the preceding 12 months. If Mr. Haley becomes disabled during the term of the
agreement, his full salary will be continued for one year from the date of
disability. If termination is for any reason other than by the Company with
cause, all options previously granted shall become fully vested on the date
of termination. The agreement contains a non-competition provision for one
year following termination.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company adopted a stock option plan in 1993 (as amended, the
"Option Plan"). The Option Plan, as amended, provides for the granting of
incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, non-qualified stock options and stock
appreciation rights ("SARs"), up to a maximum number of 1,350,000 shares.
Non-qualified options may be granted to employees, directors and consultants
of the Company, while incentive options may be granted only to employees. No
options may be granted under the Option Plan subsequent to February 28, 2003.
The Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors, which determines the terms and conditions of the
options and SARs granted under the Option Plan, including the exercise price,
number of shares subject to the option and the exercisability thereof.
The exercise price of all incentive options granted under the
Option Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the Common
Stock of the Company on the date of grant. In the case of an optionee who
owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company, the exercise price of incentive
options shall be not less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of all non-qualified stock
options granted under the Option Plan shall be determined by the Compensation
Committee, but shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the
Common Stock. The term of all non-qualified stock options granted under the
Option Plan may not exceed ten years and the term of all incentive options
may not exceed five years. The Option Plan may be amended or terminated by
the Board of Directors.
The Option Plan provides the Board of Directors or the Compensation
Committee the discretion to determine when options granted thereunder shall
become exercisable and the vesting period of such options. Upon termination
of a participant's employment or consulting relationship with the Company,
all unvested options terminate and are no longer exercisable. Vested options
shall remain exercisable for a specified period of time
-20-
following the termination date. The length of such extended exercise period
generally ranges from 30 days to one year, depending on the nature and
circumstances of the termination.
The Option Plan provides that, in the event the Company enters into
an agreement providing for the merger of the Company into another corporation
or the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets, any outstanding
unexercised option shall become exercisable at any time prior to the
effective date of such agreement. Upon the consummation of a merger or sale
of assets, such options shall terminate unless they are assumed or another
option is substituted therefor by the successor corporation.
As of June 30, 1998, a total of 421,999 non-qualified and incentive
options were outstanding, with exercise prices ranging from $2.50 to $14.25
per share and a weighted average exercise price per share of $10.85.
401(k) PLAN
In January 1996, the Company adopted a defined contribution savings
plan (the "401(k) Plan") to provide retirement income to employees of the
Company. The 401(k) Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 401(k) Plan covers all
employees who are at least age 18 and have been employed at least three
months. It is funded by voluntary pre-tax contributions from employees up to
a maximum amount equal to 15% of annual compensation and through matching
contributions by the Company up to 5% of the employee's annual compensation.
Upon leaving the Company, each participant is 100% vested with respect to the
participant's contributions and is vested based on years of service with
respect to the Company's matching contributions. Contributions are invested
as directed by the participant in investment funds available under the 401(k)
Plan. Full retirement benefits are payable to each participant in a single
cash payment or an actuarial equivalent form of annuity on the first day of
the month following the participant's retirement. Because the 401(k) Plan was
not in effect prior to January 1996, the Company incurred no administrative
expense and made no contributions prior to such time on behalf of employees
of the Company.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Under the securities laws of the United States, the Company's
directors, its executive officers, and any persons holding more than ten
percent of the Company's Common Stock are required to report their initial
ownership of the Company's Common Stock and any subsequent changes in that
ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission, The Nasdaq Stock Market,
Inc., the Pacific Stock Exchange and the Company. Specific due dates for
these reports have been established and the Company is required to disclose
in this annual report on Form 10-K any failure to file, or late filing, of
such reports with respect to the period ended June 30, 1996. Based solely on
the Company's review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto furnished to
the Company and all written representations with respect to filing of such
Forms, the Company is aware that Mr. Blair filed his Form 3 late and that
Messrs. Tomlinson and Haley and Ms. Blair filed their respective Form 5's to
report the grant of options during the year late.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the
previous filings made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, that might incorporate
future filings, including, but not limited to, this Report on Form 10-K, in
whole or in part, the following Compensation Committee Report and the
performance graph appearing herein shall not be deemed to be incorporated by
reference into any such future filings.
This Compensation Committee Report discusses the Company's
executive compensation policies and the basis for the compensation paid to
the Company's executive officers, including its Chief Executive Officer,
during fiscal 1998.
-21-
Compensation Policy. The Company's policy with respect to
executive compensation has been designed to:
- Adequately and fairly compensate executive officers in relation
to their responsibilities, capabilities and contributions to the
Company in a manner that is commensurate with compensation paid
by companies of comparable size or within the Company's industry;
- Reward executive officers for the achievement of short-term
operating goals and for the enhancement of the long-term value
of the Company; and
- Align the interests of the executive officers with those of the
Company's shareholders with respect to short-term operating
goals and long-term increases in the price of the Company's
Common Stock.
The components of compensation paid to certain executive officers
consist of (a) base salary and (b) incentive compensation in the form of
discretionary annual bonus payments and other awards made by the Company
(through the Compensation Committee) under the Company's Option Plan.
BASE SALARY. For fiscal 1998, the Compensation Committee reviewed
and approved the base salary paid by the Company to its executive officers
and to the new executive officers who were hired during the year under their
respective employment agreements. Annual adjustments to base salaries are
determined based upon a number of factors, including the Company's
performance (to the extent such performance can fairly be attributed or
related to each executive officer's performance), as well as the nature of
each executive officer's responsibilities, capabilities and contributions. In
addition, for fiscal 1998, the Compensation Committee reviewed the base
salaries of its executive officers in an attempt to ascertain whether those
salaries fairly reflect job responsibilities and prevailing market conditions
and rates of pay. The Compensation Committee believes that base salaries for
the Company's executive officers have been reasonable in relation to the
Company's size and performance in comparison with the compensation paid by
similarly sized companies or companies within the Company's industry.
INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. The Company has no formal bonus incentive
plan for executive officers. During fiscal 1998, bonuses made to executive
officers were discretionary and based on achievement of business targets and
objectives, which the Compensation Committee feels will dictate, in large
part, the Company's future operating results. The Compensation Committee
believes that its policy of compensating certain of its executive officers
with incentive-based compensation fairly and adequately compensates those
individuals in relation to their responsibilities, capabilities and
contribution to the Company, and in a manner that is commensurate with
compensation paid by companies of comparable size or within the Company's
industry. The Compensation Committee has authority to select the executive
officers and employees who will be granted bonuses and other awards and to
determine the timing, pricing and amount of any such bonuses or awards.
OTHER BENEFITS. The Company does not maintain any other plans and
arrangements for the benefit of its executive officers except to provide a
life insurance policy for the benefit of certain executive officers' named
beneficiaries. The Company believes these benefits are reasonable in relation
to the executive compensation practices of other similarly sized companies or
companies within the Company's industry.
The Compensation Committee believes that the concepts discussed
above further the shareholders' interests and that officer compensation
encourages responsible management of the Company. The Compensation Committee
regularly considers the effect of management compensation on shareholder
interests. In the past, the Board of Directors based its review in part on
the experience of its own members and on information requested from
management personnel. These same factors will be used in the future in
determining officer compensation.
This report was furnished by Mark J. Stevenson, Ronald J. Norick
and James H. Everest

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The Compensation Committee is comprised of Mark J. Stevenson,
Ronald J. Norick and James H. Everest, all of whom are independent directors
of the Company. None of these members have ever been an officer or employee
of the Company or its Subsidiary nor have any of them ever had a relationship
which would require disclosure under the "Certain Relationship and Related
Transactions" captions of any of the Company's filings with the Commission.
PERFORMANCE GRAPH
Set forth below is a line graph prepared by Media General Financial
Services comparing the yearly percentage change in the Company's cumulative
total shareholder return (share price appreciation plus dividends) on the
Company's Common Stock with the cumulative total return of (i) the Nasdaq
Stock Market and (ii) the stocks of apparel manufacturers having Standard
Industrial Classification codes from industry group numbers 231 through 235,
which is deemed as a market weighted index of publicly traded peers, for the
period from April 5, 1994 (the first date on which the Company's Common Stock
began trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market) through June 30, 1998 (the
"Measurement Period"). The graph assumes that $100 is invested in each of the
Common Stock, the Nasdaq Stock Market Index and the publicly traded peers on
April 5, 1994 and that all dividends were reinvested (there were no dividends
paid by the Company during the Measurement Period). The Company's shareholder
return is calculated by dividing (i) the difference between the Company's
share price at the beginning ($5.00 at April 5, 1994) and at each June 30 of
the Measurement Period by (ii) the share price at the beginning of the
Measurement Period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Shareholders
Sport-Haley, Inc.
Denver, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sport-Haley,
Inc. as of June 30, 1998 and 1997 and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended June 30, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits of the financial
statements provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
-------------------------------------
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
Sport-Haley designs, markets, and contracts for the manufacture of
quality men's and women's fashion golf apparel under the distinctive
Haley-Registered Trademark- label. The Company's fashion golf apparel
is known for its innovative styling, high quality fabrics, generous
fit and classic appearance. The Company's apparel is sold in the
premium and mid-price market through a network of independent sales
representatives and distributors to primarily golf professional
shops, country clubs and resorts throughout the United States and
internationally. The Company also sells to college, university and
corporate markets. The Company was organized as a Colorado
corporation on January 1, 1991 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Haley
& Company, Inc. Effective June 30, 1992, the Company ceased being a
wholly owned subsidiary of Haley and Company, Inc. as a result of a
transaction that was structured as a tax free spin-off.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Sport-Haley, Inc and its majority-owned subsidiary, B&L Sportwear,
Inc. (collectively referred to as the Company). All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
INVENTORIES:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market. The Company maintains a perpetual inventory system and
adjusts inventories annually based upon the results of its physical
inventory taken at its fiscal year end. Cost includes materials,
labor and manufacturing overhead.
BAD DEBTS:
Bad debts are provided for using the allowance method based on
historical experience and evaluation of outstanding accounts
receivable at year end.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION:
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from
three to twelve years using the straight-line method of depreciation.
Depreciation and amortization expense at June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996
was $577,274, $449,862 and $324,543, respectively.
Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and amortized over the
remaining life of the lease, using the straight-line method.
Upon disposing of assets, the related cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the books and the resulting gain or
loss, if any, is recognized in the year of the disposition.
F-6
SPORT-HALEY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
------------------------------------------
LONG-LIVED ASSETS:
The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its
long-lived assets based upon the estimated future cash flows from the
related asset. Impairment would be recognized in operations if
permanent diminution in value occurs.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of its products.
DEFERRED RENT:
Deferred rent is recognized for the difference between rent expense,
which the Company records applying the straight-line method over the
life of the lease, and the monthly payments called for in the lease
agreement.
DEFERRED TAXES:
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in
future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end,
based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the
periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable
income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax
expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the
period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
CERTAIN RISKS AND CONCENTRATIONS:
The Company's operations consist of the design, manufacture and
wholesale of golf apparel for men and women. The Company's
headquarters are located in Colorado and its customers are located
throughout the United States and abroad. As of June 30, 1998 and 1997
the majority of the Company's receivables are from companies in the
golfing industry. The Company maintains adequate allowance for
potential credit losses and performs on-going credit evaluations.
EXCESS COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED:
The excess cost over the net assets acquired of B&L Sportswear, Inc.
is being amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less, that are readily convertible to known amounts
of cash and present an insignificant risk of change in value because
of changes in interest rate, to be cash equivalents.

SPORT-HALEY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
------------------------------------------
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 130 (SFAS 130), REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, which
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components (net revenues, expenses, gains and losses)
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The Company
will adopt SFAS 130 in its fiscal year 1999.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT
SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, which changes the
way public companies report information about operating segments.
SFAS No. 131, which is based on the management approach to segment
reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment
information quarterly and to report entity-wide disclosures about
products and services, major customers and the material countries in
which the entity holds assets and report revenues. The Company has
not yet evaluated the effects of this change on its reporting of
segment information. If necessary, the Company will adopt SFAS No.
131 in its fiscal year 1999.
RECLASSIFICATIONS:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 and 1996 amounts
to conform to the current year presentation.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The Company periodically maintains cash balances at a commercial bank
in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance
limit of $100,000.
NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
-----------------------------------
The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments are
as follows:
1998 1997

The carrying value of all other financial instruments potentially
subject to valuation risk, principally consisting of accounts
receivable and accounts payable, also approximate fair value.

NOTE 5 USE OF ESTIMATES
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 6 INVESTMENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES
-------------------------------------
The Company's investment in debt securities are generally held to
maturity and valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
The fair value at June 30, 1997 was $1,291,420 for investments in
debt securities. At June 30, 1998 the Company had no investments in
"held to maturity" debt securities.
The Company's investments in marketable equity securities are held
for an indefinite period and are classified as "available for sale."
The fair value of these securities at June 30, 1998, was $12,920.
The Company recognized a permanent decline in the fair value of
these securities of $221,153 for the year ended June 30, 1998.
NOTE 7 INVENTORIES

NOTE 8 ADVERTISING
-----------
The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first
time the advertising takes place, except for direct-response
advertising, which is capitalized and amortized over its expected
period of future benefits.
Direct-response advertising consists primarily of future advertising
costs incurred in association with the Company's independent sales
representatives. These capitalized costs are amortized over the
future selling seasons, generally five to seven months, the period in
which the revenue is recognized. At June 30, 1998 and 1997,
approximately $438,842 and $260,670 of advertising was capitalized.
Advertising expense was $413,981, $457,542 and $544,099 for the years
ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

NOTE 10 LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT
------------------------
Since April 1994, the Company maintained a revolving line of credit
with the same bank. The revolving line of credit agreement, which has
been renewed through October 31, 1999, provides for interest at 1/2%
below the bank's prime rate. At the time of its most recent renewal,
the revolving line of credit provided for a maximum loan amount of
$10.0 million. Subsequent to the purchase of the Subsidiary, the
revolving line of credit agreement was amended and divided into two
agreements, one of which provides for a maximum loan amount of $9.0
million to the Company secured by a lien on substantially all of the
Company's assets and the other of which provides for a maximum loan
amount of $1.0 million to the Subsidiary secured by a lien on
substantially all of the Subsidiary's assets. The Company generally
maintains its line of credit solely to facilitate the issuance of
letters of credit for inventory purchases from offshore suppliers and
to fund any temporary working capital needs. The Subsidiary drew
approximately $500,000 on its revolving line of credit in May of 1998
in order to repay a $386,317 loan made by the Company to the
Subsidiary at closing of the Subsidiary's acquisition, to purchase
additional equipment and to use as operating capital.
NOTE 11 ACQUISITION
-----------
On March 27, 1998, the Company closed on its purchase of 52% of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of B&L Sportswear, Inc. ("B&L").
The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of a stock
purchase agreement. The Company paid $165,498 in cash to acquire its
52% ownership interest of B&L. The cash payments were made out of the
Company's working capital. The Company and remaining shareholders
entered into a buy-sell agreement restricting transfer of their
shares of B&L and granted the other party a right of first refusal
upon the occurrence of certain events which could lead to a change in
ownership of the shares.
B&L, headquartered in Four Oaks, North Carolina, has been a principal
cutting and sewing contractor utilized by the Company for several
years and is expected to manufacture the Company's products on an
exclusive basis in the future. The Company's management believes that
the acquisition of a controlling interest in B&L will enhance the
Company's ability to control costs, product delivery and inventory.
It also believes that by utilizing a captive cutting and sewing
contractor, the Company will be able to expand its corporate and
retail sales efforts, remain competitive and maintain historical
margins.

COMPLETION OF PUBLIC OFFERING:
In March and April, 1996 the Company completed its second public
offering of 1,020,000 shares of its common stock, which included an
over allotment of 150,000 common shares. The common stock was offered
at $10.50 per share. The Company realized gross proceeds of
approximately $10.710 million and net proceeds of approximately
$9.597 million after deducting stock offering costs of approximately
$1.113 million.

During December 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the

and 1997, respectively, that may be repurchased, thus bringing the
total common shares authorized for repurchase under the plan to

total of 400,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of

its earnings and prospects for future operations. The shares may be
purchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing
market prices. The Company has no commitment or obligation to
purchase all or any portion of the shares. All shares purchased by
the Company will be canceled and returned to the status of authorized

COMMON STOCK OPTIONS:
In March 1993, the Company, adopted a Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
The Plan, as originally adopted, provided for the reservation of
750,000 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance pursuant to
the Plan. In January 1995, February 1997 and February 1998, the
shareholders approved increasing the number of shares reserved for
issuance under the Plan to the current authorization of 1,350,000
shares. In March 1995, the Board of Directors approved a restatement
of the Plan to provide clarification regarding the terms, conditions
and administration of the Plan. In February 1997, the shareholders of
the Company voted to amend and restate the Plan to simplify
administration of the Plan in accordance with revisions to Section 16
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Under the Plan, the Company may grant options to purchase common
stock to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and any
subsidiary thereof. Generally, the options vest over three years, are
granted at fair market value on the date of grant, expire ten years
from that date, are non-transferrable and cannot be exercised for a
period of six (6) months from the date granted. The Plan, as
restated, is administered by the Compensation Committee, which, at
its discretion, determines the optionees, number of options granted
and exercise periods.
The Company has registered the common stock reserved for issuance
under the Plan with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In May 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company
to prepare and issue a "net issuance" offer to purchase the interests
of non-employee holders of the Company's non-qualified stock options.
The Company offered to pay the difference between the exercise price
of the non-qualified stock option and the fair market value of the
Company's common stock on the date the option holder accepted the
offer. On April 1, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors vote to
terminate the "net issuance" offer. Accordingly, the Company will no
longer accept tendered offers to purchase non-qualified stock options
from option holders. Under this offer, the Company repurchased 30,909
options for approximately $360,000.
At June 30, 1998, the Company had 1,350,000 shares of common stock
reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan, of which 227,267 options
(110,878 and 181,094 at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively) were
exercisable. During fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996 option holders
exercised and purchased 73,326, 319,905 and 313,793 shares of the
Company's common stock and the Company realized gross proceeds of
approximately $469,731, $1.657 million and $872,886, respectively.

Compensation effective for fiscal year 1997 for all issuances of
stock options to non-employees of the Company. The Company will
continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 (Opinion 25), Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees for all issuances of stock options to its
employees. Generally, all stock options issued to the Company's
employees, pursuant to the Plan, are not compensatory. No
compensation cost has been recognized for fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996
under the Plan. Had compensation cost for the Plan been determined

certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights. In December 1996,
the holders of the underwriter's warrants utilized their demand
registration rights and the Company filed a registration statement on
Form S-3 to register the underlying shares. Such registration
statement became effective in January 1997. During the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998, the Company realized gross proceeds of $218,160

NOTE 20 NET INCOME PER SHARE
--------------------
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128),
effective with the year ended June 30, 1998. SFAS 128 requires the
presentation of basic and diluted net income per share. Basic net
income per share is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for that period. Diluted net income per share is computed
giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were
outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares
consist of incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock
options and warrants for all periods. All prior period net income
per-share amounts have been restated to comply with SFAS 128.
In accordance with the disclosure requirements of SFAS 128, a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted
net income per share is provided as follows:

NOTE 21 AGREEMENTS WITH SALES REPRESENTATIVES
-------------------------------------
The Company has entered into Sales Representative Agreements (the
"Agreements") with various individuals whereby, among other things,
the Company has established an independent contractor relationship
with its sales representatives. Pursuant to the terms of the
Agreements the sales representatives' income from the Company is
derived primarily from commissions paid by the Company from sales
generated directly or indirectly by the sales representatives. The
sales representatives are responsible for and assume all income tax
liabilities on commissions and other payments received from the
Company and further agree to hold the Company harmless and to
indemnify the Company for any or all claims that may arise from the
sales representative's actions or inactions. The Agreements provide
no present or future guarantee of income. The sales representatives
are paid a commission of up to 10% of the sales price of Company
products, generated by the sales representatives and delivered to the
customer. The Company reserves the right to amend the commission
terms from time to time. Total commission expense for fiscal years
1998, 1997 and 1996 was $2,389,940, $2,289,494 and $1,682,384,

allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself against them.
Although the eventual outcome cannot be predicted, management
believes that neither the Company's financial position nor results of
its operations will be materially affected by this legal proceeding.
NOTE 23 RETIREMENT PLAN
---------------
In January 1996, the Company adopted a defined contribution savings
plan ( the "401(k) Plan") to provide retirement income to employees
of the Company. The 401(k) Plan is intended to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The
401(k) Plan covers all employees who are at least age 18 and have
been employed at least three months. It is funded by voluntary
pre-tax contributions from employees up to a maximum amount equal to
15% of annual compensation. During 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company
matched $.25 for each dollar contributed by employees, up to the
first 5% of each employee's compensation contributed to the plan.
Upon leaving the Company, each participant is 100% vested with
respect to the participant's contributions and is vested based upon
years of service with respect to the Company's matching
contributions. Contributions are invested as directed by the
participant in investment funds available under the 401(k) Plan. Full
retirement benefits are payable to each participant in a single cash
payment or an actuarial equivalent form of annuity on the first day
of the month following the participant's retirement. For the years
ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996 the Company contributed $14,019,
$13,257 and $4,457, respectively, to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of
Company employees. The Company has no defined benefit pension plan
nor any other post-retirement or post-employment benefit plan.

NOTE 24 YEAR 2000 ISSUE (UNAUDITED)
---------------------------
The Company is cognizant of the issues associated with the
programming code in existing computer systems as the Year 2000
approaches. The "Year 2000" problelm is pervasive and complex, as
virtually every computer operation will be affected in some way. Many
currently installed computer systems and software products are coded
to accept only two-digit entries in the date field. These date code
fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st
century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, in less than two
years computer systems and/or software used by the Company will need
to be upgraded to comply with such Year 2000 requirements. The
Company is presently evaluating and upgrading its software and
hardware, so that its computer systems will function properly with
respect to Year 2000 and beyond. The Company has initiated
discussions with significant suppliers, large customers and financial
institutions to ensure those parties have appropriate plans to
remediate Year 2000 issues where their systems interface the
Company's systems or otherwise impact its operations. The Company is
assessing the extent to which its operations are vulnerable, should
those organizations fail to properly remediate their computer
systems.
