Notes to the Financial Statements

1.
Overview and Basis of Presentation

Overview

On May 19, 2011, Xcel Brands, Inc. (“Xcel”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Asset Purchase Agreement”) with IM Ready-Made, LLC, pursuant to which Xcel will acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of the Isaac Mizrahi Business (the “Licensing  Business”) of IM Ready-Made, LLC. The Licensing  Business is primarily engaged in licensing and managing the Isaac Mizrahi brand.  The Licensing Business was acquired by Xcel on September 29, 2011.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements present the historical operations of the Licensing Business on a carve-out basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and derived from the accounting records of IM Ready-Made, LLC (“IM Ready”).

These financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  The License Business is not a separate legal entity, thus the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations  that would have occurred if the License Business had been operated as a separate legal entity. IM Ready-Made LLC net investment in the Licensing Business (“Parent’s Equity in Unit”) is shown in lieu of stockholders’ equity in the financial statements.

All of the allocations and estimates in the accompanying financial statements for periods prior to September 29, 2011, are based on assumptions that IM Ready-Made, LLC and  management believe are reasonable, and reasonably approximate the historical costs that the Licensing  Business would have incurred as a separate entity. However, these allocations and estimates are not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses that would have resulted if the Licensing Business had been operated as a separate entity.  The allocation of expenses were made to comply with the guidance provided by SAB Topic 1B1, “Allocation of Expenses and Related Disclosure in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of another Entity”
 
The Licensing Business‘ operations, cash position, and its cash flows for periods prior to the September 29, 2011 transaction  may not be indicative of what they would have been had the Licensing Business been a stand-alone entity, nor are they necessarily indicative of what our operating results and cash flows may be in the future.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Financial Information
 
The interim financial information as of September 28, 2011 and for the period July 1, 2011 to September 28, 2011 and three months ended September 30, 2010 and for the period January 1, 2011 to September 28, 2011 and nine months ended September 30, 2010 is unaudited and has been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim information. Operating results for  the period January 1, 2011 to September 28, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

Notes to the Financial Statements
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable 
 
Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable vales. When necessary, the Company maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments.  Receivables are charged off against the reserve when they are deemed uncollectible.  As of September 28, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has not reserved for any uncollectible accounts.

Property and Equipment 
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation and amortization are determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, computer equipment and software.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the economic useful life of the improvement or the lease period. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations, while betterments and improvements are capitalized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets 
 
The License Business reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If an impairment indicator is present, the Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the assets are impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.

Revenue Recognition
 
The License Business earns royalty revenues by exploiting intangible assets to third parties, commonly referred to as “licenses”.  Royalties are derived from wholesale and/or retail product sales generated by third-party licensees. Revenues earned from license agreements are determined by the greater of (i) the product contracted royalty rates and product sales or (ii) guaranteed minimum royalties, if applicable.  The License Business recognizes revenues from licensees whose sales exceed contractual minimums when its licenses are sold or sales are reported for these licensed products. For licensees whose sales do not exceed contractual sales minimums, the License Business recognizes licensing revenues ratably based on contractual minimums.

In addition to royalty revenues, the License Business receives design service fees for services provided to licensees, separate and in addition to royalties.  Design service fees are recorded and recognized in accordance with the terms and conditions of each design fee contract. This includes recording on a straight-line basis each base fee as stated in each design fee service contract, and recognizing additional payments in the period that it applies.

Rent Expense
 
Rent is charged to operations by amortizing the minimum rent payments over the term of the lease, using the straight-line method.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Income Taxes
 
IM Ready-Made, LLC is a limited liability company, and treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes.  The Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) provides that any income or loss is passed through to the members for federal and state income tax purposes.  Accordingly, IM Ready-Made, LLC nor its unincorporated Licensing Business division has provided for federal or state income taxes.  IM Ready-Made, LLC is subject to New York City unincorporated business taxes.  The Licensing business has provided for these taxes with an effective tax rate of 4%.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the License Business’s financial statements.

Subsequent events
 
Management has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through November 12, 2011, the date of issuance of the financial statements, noting the following material events:
 
On May 19, 2011, Xcel Brands, Inc (“Xcel”) and IM Brands, a wholly-owned subsidiary of XCel (together, the “Buyers”), entered into an asset purchase agreement, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), with IM Ready, Isaac Mizrahi and Marisa Gardini, pursuant to which the Buyers acquired certain assets of IM Ready, including (i) the “Isaac Mizrahi” brands (including the trademarks and brands “Isaac Mizrahi New York”, “Isaac Mizrahi” and “IsaacMizrahiLIVE”) (collectively, the “IM Trademarks”), (ii) the license agreements between IM Ready and certain third parties related to the IM Trademarks (together with the IM Trademarks, the “Isaac Mizrahi Business”), (iii) design agreements with Liz Claiborne and QVC to design the “Liz Claiborne New York” brand for sale exclusively at QVC and (iv) computers, design software, and other assets related to the licensing and design of the IM Trademarks and the design of the Liz Claiborne New York brand.  The parties consummated the asset purchase contemplated by the Purchase Agreement on September 29, 2011.
 
Pursuant to an agreement between IM Ready and Earthbound (the “Earthbound Agreement”), Earthbound had certain rights related to the IM Trademarks and provided certain design services for IM Ready.  In connection with the consummation of the acquisition by the Company of the Isaac Mizrahi Business, XCel and Earthbound entered into a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) pursuant to which, on the Closing Date, Earthbound contributed to the Company (i) the Earthbound Agreement and (ii) certain assets relating to the operation of the Isaac Mizrahi Business including archives, designs, certain intellectual property rights, software and equipment (the “Earthbound Assets”).  
  
Additionally, IM Ready and Earthbound entered into the Services Agreement pursuant to which Earthbound provided transitional services to IM Ready prior to the closing of the Merger, and for which Earthbound received from IM Ready $600,000 in cash on the Closing Date and IM Ready agreed to pay to Earthbound an additional payment of $1,500,000 (the “Future Payment”), with such amount payable over the next five years.
