NOTES:

1.	Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

2.	Acquisition

On April 28, 2010, the Company acquired certain assets, including the Umi brand name, intellectual property and accounts receivable, from Umi LLC, a children’s footwear company, for an aggregate price of approximately $2.5 million. The acquisition has been accounted for in these financial statements as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805). The Company has preliminarily allocated the purchase price to accounts receivable and other assets. The operating results related to the Umi acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The Umi operating results are included in the Company’s North American wholesale operations, and the current quarter results primarily relate to operating expenses as sales of Umi in the current quarter were minimal due to the seasonality of the business. Shipments of Umi autumn/winter product will begin in the third quarter of 2010. Additional disclosures required by ASC 805 have not been provided as the acquisition was not material to the Company’s financial statements.

3.	Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per share and diluted earnings per share:

4.	Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments: North American wholesale operations (“wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“retail”). The chief operating decision maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of its segments based on earnings from operations and accordingly, interest income, interest expense and other income and expense are not allocated to the segments. The “other” category in the table below includes the Company’s wholesale and retail operations in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific and Europe, which do not meet the criteria for separate reportable segment classification. Summarized segment data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was:

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the Company’s outlook for the future. These statements represent the Company's reasonable judgment with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. The reader is cautioned that these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties or other factors that may cause (and in some cases have caused) actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

GENERAL

The Company is a distributor of men’s casual, dress and fashion shoes. The principal brands of shoes sold by the Company are “Florsheim,” “Nunn Bush,” “Stacy Adams” and “Umi.” Inventory is purchased from third-party overseas manufacturers. The majority of foreign-sourced purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has two reportable segments, North American wholesale operations (“wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“retail”). In the wholesale segment, the Company’s products are sold to shoe specialty stores, department stores and clothing retailers, primarily in the United States and Canada. The Company also has licensing agreements with third parties who sell its branded apparel, accessories and specialty footwear in the United States, as well as its footwear in Mexico and certain markets overseas. Licensing revenues are included in the Company’s wholesale segment. The Company’s retail segment consisted of 35 Company-owned retail stores in the United States and an Internet business as of June 30, 2010. Sales in retail outlets are made directly to consumers by Company employees. The Company’s “other” operations include the Company’s wholesale and retail operations in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific and Europe. The majority of the Company’s operations are in the United States, and its results are primarily affected by the economic conditions and the retail environment in the United States.

On April 28, 2010, the Company acquired certain assets, including the Umi brand name, intellectual property and accounts receivable, from Umi LLC, a children’s footwear company, for an aggregate price of approximately $2.5 million. The Company has preliminarily allocated the purchase price to accounts receivable and other assets. The operating results related to the Umi acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The Umi operating results are included in the Company’s North American wholesale operations, and the current quarter results primarily relate to operating expenses as sales of Umi in the current quarter were minimal due to the seasonality of the business. Shipments of Umi autumn/winter product will begin in the third quarter of 2010.

On January 23, 2009, the Company acquired a majority interest in a new subsidiary, Florsheim Australia. Accordingly, the Company’s year to date results at June 30, 2010 included Florsheim Australia’s operations for the entire first six months, while the year to date results at June 30, 2009 only included the consolidated financial statements of Florsheim Australia from January 23 through June 30, 2009.

CONSOLIDATED OVERVIEW

Second Quarter Highlights

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2010 were $48.7 million, down 3% from last year’s second quarter net sales of $50.1 million. The Company’s consolidated earnings from operations for this year’s second quarter were $1.7 million, down from $2.2 million last year.

Consolidated earnings before tax were $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared with $3.7 million for the same period in 2009. This decrease was caused by the lower earnings from operations and a net decrease in other income and expense this quarter compared with last year. This year’s other income and expense included foreign exchange transaction losses of $344,000 on intercompany loans between the Company’s U.S. business and Florsheim Australia. Last year’s other income and expense included foreign exchange transaction gains of $870,000 on the intercompany loans.

The quarter and year to date growth at Stacy Adams this year was achieved through stronger business with department stores and national shoe chains. Year to date net sales of Nunn Bush were down this year primarily due to reduced shipments of product to off-price retailers. Florsheim net sales were down in the second quarter and first half of 2010 compared with the same periods last year due to lower sales to national footwear chains.

Earnings from Operations

North American wholesale segment earnings from operations in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 were $1.8 million, compared with $1.9 million in last year’s second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, North American wholesale segment earnings from operations were $6.1 million this year compared with $5.2 million last year. The year to date increase this year was achieved through higher gross margins, which were offset slightly by the decrease in net sales this year.

Wholesale gross earnings were 30.3% of net sales in the second quarter of 2010 compared with 29.6% in last year’s second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, wholesale gross earnings were 30.6% in 2010 and 27.9% in 2009. The year to date increase this year was due to higher selling prices on select products and an overall reduction this year in sales to off-price retailers.

The Company’s cost of sales does not include distribution costs (e.g., receiving, inspection or warehousing costs). Distribution costs were approximately $2.0 million for each of the three- month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, distribution costs were approximately $4.0 million in each six month period. These costs were included in selling and administrative expenses. The Company’s gross earnings may not be comparable to other companies, as some companies may include distribution costs in cost of sales.

North American wholesale segment selling and administrative expenses include, and are primarily related to, distribution costs, salaries and commissions, advertising costs, employee benefit costs and depreciation. Wholesale selling and administrative expenses for the quarter and first half of 2010 were approximately level with the same periods in 2009. As a percent of net sales, wholesale selling and administrative expenses were 26.6% this quarter compared with 25.7% in the same quarter last year. For the six months ended June 30, wholesale selling and administrative expenses were 24.1% of net sales in 2010 and 23.1% of net sales in 2009. The percentage increase for both comparative periods reflects the fixed nature of most of the wholesale selling and administrative expenses.

North American Retail Segment

Net Sales

Second quarter net sales in the Company’s North American retail segment were down 2% compared with last year and down 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with the same period last year. There was one fewer store at June 30, 2010 as compared with June 30, 2009. One retail store closed during the second quarter of 2010, and the Company plans to close one additional store in the fourth quarter this year. Same store sales were down 1% for the second quarter and were flat for the first half of 2010. The Company continues to evaluate its stores and the retail landscape on an on-going basis and make adjustments when necessary.

Earnings from Operations

The North American retail segment incurred operating losses of $160,000 and $138,000 in the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $349,000 and $411,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Both gross margins and selling and administrative expenses were relatively flat between periods.

North American retail segment gross earnings as a percent of net retail sales were approximately level with the prior year at 64.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 64.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Retail selling and administrative expenses as a percent of retail sales were 67.2% in the current quarter and 66.5% in last year’s second quarter. To date in 2010, retail selling and administrative expenses were 67.9% of net sales compared with 68.2% of net sales for first half of 2009. Selling and administrative expenses at the retail segment include and are primarily related to, rent and occupancy costs, employee costs and depreciation. Many retail selling and administrative expenses are fixed in nature.

Other

The Company’s other businesses include its wholesale and retail operations in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific and Europe. The decrease in other net sales for the quarter was due to a decrease in the net sales of the Australian wholesale business. The increase in other net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was due mainly to the weaker U.S. dollar this year compared to 2009, and also due to the additional 23 days of Florsheim Australia’s operations this year.

Other income and expense and taxes

Other income and expense for the second quarter of 2010 was a net expense of $351,000, as compared to net income of $893,000 for the same period of 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, other income and expense was a net expense of $218,000 compared to net income of $799,000 last year. The decrease this year primarily related to foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans denominated in U.S. dollars between the Company’s U.S. business and Florsheim Australia. In 2010, there were foreign currency transaction losses on these loans of $344,000 for the quarter and $217,000 year to date. In 2009, there were foreign currency transaction gains of $870,000 for the quarter and $758,000 year to date.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was 41.7%, as compared to 31.8% for the same period of 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the effective tax rate was 36.1% as compared with 33.8% for the same period of 2009. The higher effective rates this year were due to various foreign taxes on foreign earnings and dividends.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s primary source of liquidity is its cash and short-term marketable securities. During the first half of 2010, the Company generated $7.9 million in cash from operating activities compared with $20.8 million in the same period one year ago. This decrease was primarily due to a smaller decrease in inventory levels in the first half of 2010 compared with the same period of 2009. Cash from operations in 2010 was used mainly to pay dividends and to fund the Umi acquisition (see Note 2). Additionally, the Company purchased $21.8 million of marketable securities using both current maturities and available cash. Capital expenditures were $646,000 through June 30, 2010. The Company expects annual capital expenditures for 2010 to be between $1.0 million and $2.0 million.

The Company paid cash dividends of $3.4 million and $3.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. On April 21, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend rate from $.15 per share to $.16 per share. This represents an increase of 7% in the quarterly dividend rate. The impact of this will be to increase cash dividends paid annually by approximately $450,000.

The Company continues to repurchase its common stock under its share repurchase program when the Company believes market conditions are favorable. To date in 2010, the Company has repurchased 32,906 shares at a total cost of approximately $753,000. The Company currently has 1,352,839 shares available under its previously announced buyback program. See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” below for more information.

The Company had a total of $50.0 million available under its borrowing facility, and no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2010. The facility includes one financial covenant that specifies a minimum level of net worth. The Company was in compliance with the covenant at June 30, 2010. The facility expired on April 30, 2010 and was renewed through April 30, 2011.

The Company will continue to evaluate the best uses for its free cash, including continued stock repurchases and additional acquisitions.

The Company believes that available cash and marketable securities, cash provided by operations, and available borrowing facilities will provide adequate support for the cash needs of the business in 2010 and 2011.
