REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors
Hudson Clothing Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Report on Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Hudson Clothing Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, convertible preferred stock and stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hudson Clothing Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2012, and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As described in Note 13, the 2012 consolidated financial statements have been restated. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments
Hudsons financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, factor receivables, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying values of the current financial instruments are considered to be representative of their fair market value, due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of notes payable approximates fair value as they bear interest at fixed interest rates which approximate current market rates for notes with similar maturities and credit quality.
Revenue recognition
Revenues are recognized when title transfers to the customer, which is typically at the shipping point. Hudson records estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs, including discounts and allowances. Hudson also allows for returns in certain circumstances. Such returns are estimated based upon historical experience and an allowance is provided at time of sale.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
Hudson considers all highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible into cash and mature within ninety days from their date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Hudson includes credit card receivables in cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable
Hudson carries its accounts receivable at invoiced amounts less allowances for doubtful accounts and other deductions. Hudson evaluates its ability to collect accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In performing this evaluation, significant judgment is used, including an analysis of specific risks on a customer-by-customer basis. Based on this information, Hudson provides a reserve for the estimated amounts to be uncollectible and other deductions based on historical experience. Accounts receivable are written off in the year deemed uncollectible after all efforts to collect the accounts receivable have been unsuccessful.
Concentrations of risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject Hudson to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and amounts due from factor. Hudson does not require collateral for the majority of its trade accounts receivable. However, Hudson sells the majority of its accounts receivable to a factor on a non-recourse basis, who assumes the credit risk with respect to the collection of the accounts receivable.
Sales to two customers represented approximately 47%, 51%, and 49% of total sales for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 respectively. Amounts due from these customers are included in accounts receivable from the factor without recourse (see Note 3).
Purchases from three suppliers represented approximately 42% of total purchases for the year ended December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, approximately $1,772,000 was owed to these suppliers. Purchases from four suppliers represented approximately 45% of total purchases for the year ended December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011, approximately $1,232,000 was owed to these suppliers. Purchases from four suppliers represented approximately 39% of total purchases for the year ended December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010, approximately $324,000 was owed to these suppliers.
At December 31, 2012 and various times throughout the year, Hudson had bank deposits in excess of federally insured amounts with a major financial institution.

Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Inventory reserves are recorded to reduce inventory to a new cost basis for slow moving inventory based on analysis of balances on hand by style, recent sales trends, projected future sales, and historical mark down trends. Costs capitalized in inventory include the purchase price of raw materials, contract labor and finished goods, as well as all duties and transportation costs on incoming goods.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or fair value in the case of impaired assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the estimated service lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the asset cost and related depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is included in the determination of net income.
Deferred financing costs
Deferred financing costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related agreements (5 years) and recorded as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Amortization of deferred financing costs included in interest expense was approximately $24,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and approximately $19,000 for the year ending December 31, 2010.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill arose from the 2009 acquisition of Hudson Clothing, LLC. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Hudson evaluates intangible assets that are not being amortized annually, at a minimum, for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise.
Hudson evaluates goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment by applying fair value tests in the fourth quarter of each year and when events occur or circumstances change which suggests that the goodwill or intangible assets should be evaluated. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Hudson determined that there was no impairment of its goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Finite-lived intangible and long-lived assets
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Hudson evaluates the recoverability of its finite-lived intangible and long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flows from the use of such assets (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on appropriate valuation techniques. Hudson has not recognized any impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010.
Deferred rent
Leasing transactions are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, whereby non-cancelable operating leases with scheduled rent increases and deferred payment periods are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs, including the costs to produce advertising, are charged to expense when the advertisement is first exhibited. These advertising costs were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses and totaled approximately $3,852,000, $3,976,000, and $4,008,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 respectively.
Income taxes
Hudson accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the applicable enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Hudson evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary.
Hudson recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax position only if it more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Hudson recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Classification of certain costs and expenses
Freight costs for outbound shipments charged to customers are recorded in net sales. Hudson classifies merchandise, inbound and out-bound shipping costs in cost of sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses (S,G&A) include design, pre-production and production, marketing and advertising, sales and customer service, distribution and general and administrative expenses.
Subsequent events
Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Hudson recognizes in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the financial statements. Hudsons financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after the balance sheet date and before financial statements are issued. Hudson has evaluated subsequent events through December 5, 2013, which is the date the financial statements are issued.

Note 3 - Accounts Receivable, Inventory Advances and Due from Factor (continued)
These agreements give Hudson the ability to obtain cash by selling and assigning to the factor certain of its accounts receivable and to obtain advances against the value of certain inventory. The factor charges a commission on the accounts receivable factored, and interest at prime plus a negotiated rate on advances (4.25% at December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010). Collateral for advances includes all accounts receivable, inventories located in and in-transit to the United States and certain United States trademarks. The factors secured interest related to the trademarks is limited to $3.5 million of liquidation amounts. As further assurances to the factor, cross guarantees were executed among Hudson and its subsidiary to guarantee the obligations. The agreement may be terminated by Hudson on April 30, 2014 or on the one year anniversary date following a change in control with 60 days written notice
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, Hudsons cash availability with the factor was approximately $7,132,000 and $3,953,000, respectively.

ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences and credit carryforwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is more likely than not. Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on Hudsons ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Based on past trends and future expectations, management believes it is more likely than not that the results from future income will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. There was no change to the valuation allowance during 2012.
As of December 31, 2012, Hudson does not have net operating loss carry forwards for federal or state tax purposes. As of December 31, 2011, Hudson has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,622,000 and $4,256,000 for federal and state tax purposes, respectively.
