NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Phoenix Footwear
Group, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for fair presentation
have been included in the accompanying financial statements. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year
ended January 1, 2005 and the Companys Form 8-K filed on July 5, 2005, for the significant
acquisition of Chambers Belt Company (See Note 10). Amounts related
to disclosures of January 1, 2005 balances within these interim
statements were derived from the aforementioned 10-K. The results of operations for the three and
six months ended July 2, 2005, or for any other interim period, are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements consist of Phoenix Footwear Group, Inc. and its wholly
owned subsidiaries, Penobscot Shoe Company (Penobscot), H.S. Trask & Co (Trask), Royal Robbins,
Inc. (Robbins), Altama Delta Corporation (Altama) and Chambers Belt Company (Chambers Belt).
Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of
Altamas and Chambers operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since
the date of their respective acquisitions.
Accounting Period
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company changed its year-end to a fiscal year that is the 52-
or 53-week period ending the Saturday nearest to December 31st. The second quarters consisted of
the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2005 and June 26, 2004.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 financial statements to conform to the
classifications used in 2005.
Critical Accounting Policies
As of July 2, 2005, the Companys consolidated critical accounting policies and estimates have
not changed materially from those set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
January 1, 2005 with the following exception:
On February 24, 2005, the Company authorized an immediate vesting of eligible employees
unvested share options with an exercise price greater than $6.50 per share. In total, 440,333
options with an average exercise price of $10.20 immediately vested and have an average remaining
contractual life of 8.6 years. The unamortized fair value associated with these accelerated-vest
shares in the amount of $2.5 million amortized immediately. Had the accelerated-vest program not
occurred, the related-cost in the fiscal years of 2005, 2006 and 2007 would have included $1.1
million, $1.1 million and $347,000, respectively. In addition to its employee-retention value, the
Companys decision to accelerate the vesting of these out-of-the-money options was based upon the
accounting of such costs moving from disclosure-only in 2005 to being included in the Companys
statement of operations in 2006.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Compensation, which supersedes
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its
related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in
which an entity obtains employee services through share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R
requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the
award of equity investments based on the fair value of the award
6
at the date of grant. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is
required to provide services in exchange for the award. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and
Exchange Commission issued a release announcing the adoption of a new rule delaying the required
implementation of SFAS No. 123R. Under this new rule, SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the
beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The impact on net
earnings as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, from a historical perspective, can be found
in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report and in Note 1 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Companys 2004 Annual Report on Form 10K/A for
the year ended January 1, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 123R
and will adopt it in the first quarter of 2006, as required.

3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 142, the Companys goodwill and certain intangible assets
are no longer amortized, but are subject to an annual impairment test. Impairment would be examined
more frequently if certain indicators are encountered. The Company determined that there was no
impairment of goodwill to be recorded during the quarter and six month period ended July 2, 2005.
The following sets forth the intangible assets by major asset class:

Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over
periods ranging from 2 to 13 years. During the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005
aggregate amortization expense was approximately $216,000 and $380,000, respectively. During the
three and six month periods ended June 26, 2004 aggregate amortization expense was $52,000 and
$103,000, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets at July 2, 2005 in each
of the next five fiscal years and beyond is expected to be incurred as follows:

4. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock-based
compensation. Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense is recognized when the market price of
the stock underlying an award on the date of grant exceeds any related exercise price. No employee
stock-based compensation expense was recorded for the quarters or six month periods ended July 2,
2005 and June 26, 2004. Pro forma information regarding net earnings and earnings per share as
required by SFAS No. 123, and SFAS No. 148 are as follows:

The pro forma amounts reflected above may not be representative of future disclosures since
the estimated fair value of stock options is amortized to expense as the options vest and
additional options may be granted in future years. The weighted average fair value of the stock
options granted was $3.45 and $7.10 for the quarters ended July 2, 2005 and June 26, 2004,
respectively, and was $3.45 and $5.63 for the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 26, 2004,
respectively. The fair value of employee stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of
traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option
valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock
price volatility. Because the Companys employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in subjective input assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimates, in managements opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of grants under the Companys
employee stock-based compensation plans.
5. Per Share Data
8
Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net
earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
net earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) and the effect of assumed
conversions by the weighted average number of common and, when applicable, potential common shares
outstanding during the period. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and
diluted earnings (loss) per share is presented below.

In addition to shares outstanding held by the public, the Companys defined contribution
401(k) savings plan held approximately 359,000 shares as of July 2, 2005, which were issued during
2001 in connection with the termination of the Companys defined benefit pension plan. These
shares, while eligible to vote, are classified as treasury stock and therefore are not outstanding
for purpose of determining per share earnings until the time that such shares are allocated to
employee accounts. This allocation is occurring over a seven-year period which commenced in 2002.
During the first quarter of 2005, approximately 120,000 shares were allocated to the defined
contribution 401(k) savings plan.
6. Contingent Liability
In connection with the Companys acquisition of Royal Robbins, it agreed to pay as part of the
purchase price potential earnout cash payments equal to 25% of the gross profit of the Royal
Robbins product lines for the 12-month periods ending May 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, so long
as minimum thresholds are achieved by the acquired business during these periods. On June 30, 2005
and 2004 the Company paid $2.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, which represented the
second and first earnout payments earned for the 12-month periods ended May 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. In connection with our acquisition of Altama, we agreed
to pay as part of the purchase price, potential earnout cash payment
of $2.0 million if the Altama brand sells at least 575,000
military combat boots to certain DoD agencies between October 3,
2004 and October 1, 2005. In connection with our
acquisition of Chambers Belt, we agreed to pay as part of the purchase
price earnout payments based on Chambers Belt meeting certain earnings requirements.
7. Debt
During the first month of fiscal 2005, the Company had a $33.4 million credit facility with
Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (M&T) pursuant to a Third Amended and Restated Revolving
Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of July 19, 2004, which was comprised of an $18.0 million
revolving line of credit (revolver) and $15.4 million in term loans, including a new $10.0
million term loan which was repayable in equal monthly installments maturing in July 2009. Our
obligations under the credit facility were secured by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.
The revolver and the notes payable to M&T contained certain financial covenants relative to average
borrowed funds to earnings ratio, net earnings, current ratio, and cash flow coverage. In addition,
the payment or declaration of dividends and distributions is restricted. After December 31, 2005,
the Company was permitted to pay dividends on its common stock as long as it is not in default and
doing so would not cause a default, and as long as its average borrowed funds to EBITDA ratio, as
defined in the Credit Agreement, is no greater than 2 to 1. Under the terms of the Credit
Agreement, the borrowing base for the revolver is based on certain balances of accounts receivable
and inventory, as defined in the agreement. The revolver expires on June 30, 2006 and has an
interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%, or the prime rate plus .25%.
On February 1, 2005, the Company entered into Amendment Number 1 (the Amendment) to the
credit agreement between the Company and M&T. The Amendment, among other things, established a $4
million overline credit facility in addition to the $18 million revolving credit facility already
existing under the credit agreement. The overline credit facility expired on May 30, 2005 and all
borrowings under that facility are due and payable on that date. Until May 30, 2005, Phoenixs
combined availability under the overline credit facility and revolving credit facility was $22
million, subject to a borrowing base formula. The Amendment revised the borrowing base formula to
remove until May 30, 2005 the inventory caps which had applied to each of the Companys product
lines.
The Amendment also modifies the financial covenants requiring us not to exceed certain average
borrowed funds to EBITDA ratios and cash flow coverage ratios.

On
June 29, 2005, the Company entered into a new Credit Facility Agreement with M&T in
connection with its acquisition of Chambers Belt Company (Chambers). This amended credit
agreement replaced the Companys prior credit agreement with M&T for a new $52.0 million credit
facility. The new credit facility was an increase of approximately $19.0 million over the prior
credit facility with M&T. The new credit agreement establishes up to a $24.0 million revolving
credit facility, a $5.0 million swing line loan and a $28.0 million term loan. The revolving line
has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.0%, or the prime rate plus .375%. The term loan has an
interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5%. The borrowings under the new credit agreement are secured by
a blanket security interest in all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The credit
facility expires on June 30, 2010 and all borrowings under the credit facility are due and payable
on that date. At July 2, 2005, LIBOR with a 90-day maturity was 3.50% and the prime rate was
6.25%. The Companys availability under the revolving credit facility is $24.0 million and is
subject to a borrowing base formula with inventory caps, and financial covenants requiring the
Company not to exceed certain average borrowed funds to EBITDA ratios and cash flow coverage
ratios.
On August 4, 2005, the Company and M&T entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Facility
Agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement). This Amended Credit Agreement replaced the Companys
existing credit agreement with M&T of $52 million and increased its availability to $63 million.
M&T acted as lender and administrative agent for additional lenders under the Amended Credit
Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement increases the existing line of credit from $24 million to
$28 million and adds a $7 million bridge loan used for the acquisition of The Paradise Shoe Group,
LLC. The revolving line has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.0%, or the prime rate plus .375%. The
bridge loan has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5% or the prime rate plus .75%. The borrowings
under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a blanket security interest in all the assets of
the Company and its subsidiaries. The amended credit facility expires on June 30, 2010 and all
borrowings under that facility are due and payable on that date. The Companys availability under

9. Operating Segment Information
The Companys operating segments have been classified into two business segments: footwear and
apparel and military boot operations. The footwear and apparel operation designs, develops and
markets various branded dress and casual footwear, apparel, and
accessories, outsources the majority of the production
of its products from foreign manufacturers primarily located in Brazil and Asia and sells its
products primarily through department stores, national chain stores, independent specialty
retailers, third-party catalog companies and directly to consumers over our Internet web sites. The
military boot operation manufactures one brand of mil-spec combat boots for sale to the Department
of Defense (DoD) which serves all four major branches of the U.S. military, however these boots
are used primarily by the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marines. In addition, the military boot operation
manufactures or outsources commercial combat boots, infantry combat boots, tactical boots and
safety and work boots and sells these products primarily through domestic footwear retailers,
footwear and military catalogs and directly to consumers over its own web site. Operating profits
by business segment exclude allocated corporate interest expense and income taxes. Corporate assets
consist principally of cash, certain receivables and non-current assets.
In our footwear and apparel segment, sales to REI stores represented 10% and 8%, respectively,
of net sales in the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005, and no other customer exceeded
10% of this segments net sales. In our military boot segment sales to the DoD represented 27% and
46%, respectively, of net sales in the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005. No other
customer exceeded 10% of this segments net sales.

10. Acquisition
On
June 29, 2005, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Chambers Belt
Company for approximately $21.5 million, plus contingent earn-out payments subject to Chambers Belt
meeting certain post-closing sales requirements. As part of the
11
transaction, the Company incurred
approximately $1.3 million in acquisition related expenses and entered into a $3.0 million
non-compete agreement with four of Chambers Belts stockholders and officers, which increased the
net purchase price. Payment of the purchase price at closing was made
by delivery of $20.5 million
in cash, and 374,462 shares of common stock valued at $2.0 million.
Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, the Company agreed to pay four of Chambers
Belts stockholders and officers $3.0 million in consideration for a five-year
covenant-not-to-compete and other restrictive covenants. The Company also entered into employment
agreements with three of Chambers Belts stockholders and officers: Charles Stewart, Kelly Green
and David Matheson. The results of Chambers Belts operations had no impact
on the Companys income statement during the second quarter, however its effect is included in the
assets and liabilities of the Companys July 2, 2005 balance sheet. Chambers Belt is a leading
manufacturer of mens and womens belts and accessories.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on the
estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
at June 29, 2005, the date of
acquisition. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to refinement based upon
managements final conclusions.

Of
the $9.3 million of acquired goodwill and unamortizable
intangible assets, $9.3 million
was preliminarily allocated to registered trademarks and tradenames. Intangible assets totaling
$5.9 million which are subject to amortization have a weighted-average useful life of approximately
6.5 years. The intangible assets subject to amortization include commercial customer list of $2.9
million (8 year weighted-average useful life) and non-compete agreement of $3.0 million (5 year
weighted-average useful life).
The following is the consolidated results of operations of the Company for the three and six
month periods ended July 2, 2005 and June 26, 2004, respectively, on a pro forma basis using
internally generated unaudited information, assuming the Chambers
Belt and Altama acquisitions occurred
at the beginning of the earliest period presented. This pro forma information is presented after
giving effect to certain adjustments which are based upon currently available information and upon
certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. This pro forma information does not
purport to present what the Companys consolidated results of operations would actually have been
if the Chambers Belt and Altama acquisitions had in fact occurred at the beginning of the periods
indicated, nor do they project the Companys consolidated results of operations for any future
period.

11. Subsequent Event
On August 4, 2005, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of The Paradise Shoe
Company, LLC (Paradise). Paradise Shoe is based in Phoenix, Arizona and was the exclusive
licensee of the Tommy Bahama® line of mens and womens footwear, hosiery and belts. In addition,
on the same date, the Company entered into a trademark license agreement with Tommy Bahama Group,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Oxford Industries, Inc. Under the agreement, the Company has an
exclusive license to manufacture and distribute mens and womens footwear, hosiery, belts and
mens small leather goods and accessories
bearing the Tommy Bahama® mark and related marks in the United States, Canada, Mexico and certain
Caribbean Islands for an initial term through May 31, 2012 with an option to extend the agreement
through May 31, 2016 if certain requirements are met. The license agreement may be terminated by
Tommy Bahama before the end of the term for several reasons, including material defaults by
12
the
Company or its failure to sell products for 60 consecutive days. The license is non-exclusive for
the last 120 days of the term for which no extension is available.
On August 4, 2005, the Company and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (M&T) entered
into an amended and restated credit facility agreement. This agreement replaced the Companys
existing credit agreement with M&T of $52 million and increased its availability to $63 million.
M&T acted as lender and administrative agent for additional lenders under the new credit agreement.
The new credit agreement increases the existing line of credit from $24 million to $28 million and
adds a $7 million bridge loan used for the acquisition of Paradise Shoe. The revolving line has an
interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.0%, or the prime rate plus .375%. The bridge loan has an interest
rate of LIBOR plus 3.5% or the prime rate plus .75%. The borrowings under the new credit agreement
are secured by a blanket security interest in all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The credit facility expires on June 30, 2010 and all borrowings under that facility are due and
payable on that date. The Companys availability under the revolving credit facility will be $28
million (subject to a borrowing base formula). The bridge loan is due December 31, 2005, and may
be prepaid at any time. The new credit agreement includes a borrowing base formula with inventory
caps, and financial covenants requiring the Company not to exceed certain average borrowed funds to
EBITDA ratios and cash flow coverage ratios.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated
financial statements and the related notes and the other financial information included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the
fiscal year ended January 1, 2005. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking
statements as a result of any number of factors, including those set forth under Factors That May
Affect Forward Looking Statements below.
References to our fiscal 2003 refer to our fiscal year ended December 27, 2003, references
to our fiscal 2004 refer to our fiscal year ended January 1, 2005, and references to our fiscal
2005 refer to our fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.
Overview
We are a mens and womens footwear and apparel company. We design, develop and market branded
dress and casual footwear and apparel, and design, manufacture and market military specification
(mil-spec) and commercial combat and uniform boots.
In our footwear and apparel segment, we sell over 100 different styles of footwear and over
250 different styles of apparel products. By emphasizing traditional style, quality and fit in this
segment, we believe we can better maintain a loyal consumer following that is less susceptible to
fluctuations due to changing fashion trends and consumer preferences. As a result, a significant
number of our product styles carry over from year-to-year. In addition, our design and product
development teams seek to create and introduce new products and styles that complement these
longstanding core products, are consistent with our brand images and meet our high quality
standards.
We entered the military boot segment in fiscal 2004 through our acquisition of Altama Delta
Corporation on July 19, 2004. In our military boot segment, we sell a total of 18 boot models under
our Altama brand for the military and commercial markets. We believe that the majority of products
under this brand are not sensitive to fashion risk, but are subject
to risks of doing business with the U.S. government. The increase in our net sales and operating
expenses during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2005 as compared to the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2004
relates primarily to the Altama acquisition.
To fund the Altama acquisition, we conducted a follow on public offering of our common stock
which was consummated on July 19, 2004. In the offering we issued 2,500,000 shares at the $12.50
per share offering price, resulting in net proceeds, after deducting the underwriters fees and
transaction costs, of approximately $28.4 million. In addition to these proceeds we utilized
approximately
$10.0 million of additional borrowings under our amended credit facility to finance the cash
portion of the purchase price for the Altama acquisition, to refinance Altamas funded indebtedness
and to pay related transaction fees and expenses.
13
On June 29, 2005 we completed our acquisition of substantially all the assets of Chambers Belt
Company, a leading manufacturer of mens and womens belts and accessories headquartered in
Phoenix, Arizona. On August 4, 2005, subsequent to the end of our fiscal second quarter, we acquired
substantially all the assets of Paradise Shoe Company, LLC. Paradise Shoe Company based in Phoenix
Arizona is and became the exclusive licensee of the popular Tommy Bahama line of mens and womens footwear,
hosiery and belts in the United States, Canada and certain Carribean
Islands.
We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of footwear, apparel and related products
companies that we believe could complement or expand our business, or augment our market coverage.
We seek companies or product lines that we believe have consistent historical cash flow and brand
growth potential. We also may acquire businesses that we feel could provide us with important
relationships or otherwise offer us growth opportunities. We plan to fund our future acquisitions
through bank financing, seller debt or equity financing and public or private equity financing.
Although we are actively seeking acquisitions that will expand our existing brands, as of the date
of this we have no agreements with respect to any such acquisitions, and there can be no assurance
that we will be able to identify and acquire such businesses or obtain necessary financing on
favorable terms.
Altama Acquisition
On July 19, 2004, we purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Altama Delta
Corporation for approximately $37.8 million, plus an earnout
payment which is unlikely to be earned. As part of the transaction, we refinanced
Altamas indebtedness of approximately $1.7 million and incurred approximately $740,000 in
acquisition related expenses which increased the net purchase price. Payment of the purchase price
at closing was made by delivery of $35.5 million in cash, and
196,967 shares of common stock then valued
at $2.5 million.
Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, we agreed to pay W.Whitlow Wyatt, the former
owner of Altama, $2.0 million in consideration for a five-year covenant-not-to-compete and other
restrictive covenants. We also entered into a two-year consulting agreement with Mr. Wyatt which
provides for an annual consulting fee of $100,000.
Altama has manufactured military footwear for the U.S. Department of Defense, or DoD, for 36
consecutive years. Altama also produces combat and uniform boots for commercial markets. During
2004, Altama operated under a surge option pursuant to which it sold boots to the DoD in excess of
the initial maximum amount awarded under its DoD contract. In September 2004, the DoD exercised the
first option term under its contract with Altama, and at that time increased Altamas portion of
the contract volume from 20% to 30%. The first year option term runs from October 2004 through
September 2005. The maximum pairs that the DoD can order under this option is less than that of the
base contract year, as a result of the discontinuance of the all leather-combat boot. We have been
advised that the DoD does not intend to issue orders in excess of the maximum award during this
first option year. Therefore, we have not been and do not expect to
operate at surge production rates and our net sales
under the Altama brand have been and are expected to be lower in fiscal 2005 than in fiscal 2004.
Our
Altama brand met our expectations during the first quarter of 2005, but experienced a temporary
slow down in DoD deliveries during the second quarter ended July 2,
2005. This development had an adverse effect on
our operating results for the second quarter. We believe this slow down is a timing issue isolated
to the second quarter and that the DoD order delivery flow which we had originally anticipated for
the year will resume in the third quarter.
Altamas
business generates lower gross margins than our business historically has generated. As a
result, the acquisition caused our gross margin to be lower in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 as
compared to the prior year period and we expect this trend to continue. Altamas selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales has been historically lower than
ours, which we believe mitigates the impact on our gross margin.
As a result of its DoD business, Altama has different working capital requirements and lower
inventory risks than our historical business. For its DoD business, Altama produces its inventory only upon receipt
of orders under specific contracts. After completion of the manufacturing process, DoD orders are
reviewed for quality assurance, and upon approval Altama bills the DoD.
With the acquisition of Altama our principal operations have been classified into two business
segments: footwear and apparel and military boot operations. See Note 9 to Financial Statements.

Chambers
Belt Acquisition
On
June 29, 2005, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
of Chambers Belt Company for approximately $21.5 million, plus
contingent earn-out payments subject to Chambers Belt meeting certain
post-closing sales targets. As part of the transaction, the
Company incurred approximately $1.3 million in acquisition related
expenses and entered into a five-year, $3.0 million non-compete agreement with
four Chambers Belts Stockholders. The Company paid the purchase price by delivery of $20.5
million in cash, and 374,462 shares of common stock then valued at $2.0
million. The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price
through a $19.5 million increase in its credit facility. The
results of Chambers Belts operations had no impact on the
Companys income statement during the second quarter, however
its effect is included in the assets and liabilities of the
Companys July 2, 2005 balance sheet.

Fiscal Quarter Ended July 2, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Quarter Ended June 26, 2004.
Consolidated Net Sales
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter ended July 2, 2005 increased $1.5 million or
10.6%, increasing to $15.4 million from $13.9 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Of this
increase $3.5 million is attributable to acquired brand revenue associated with the Altama® brand
acquisition completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Our footwear and apparel segment
experienced a 14.3% decline in quarter-over-quarter net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2005
as compared to net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
Consolidated Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased 6.6% to $5.9 million
as compared to $6.3 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in gross profit is
due to the addition of the Altama brand gross margins, which generate lower gross margins than the
Companys other branded products and a higher level of footwear close-out sales as compared to the
prior year quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 38% compared to 45% in
the prior year quarter.
Consolidated Operating Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.1 million, or 46.0% of net
sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to $5.0 million or 36.2% of net sales for
the second quarter of fiscal 2004. This dollar increase was primarily related to increased
operating costs and SG&A expenses related to our
Altama brand acquired in fiscal 2004 and other acquisition-related
activities and marketing and employee compensation costs. We anticipate that our fiscal 2005 SG&A expenses will
increase as a result of our Altama, Chambers Belt and Paradise acquisitions.
Our Consolidated Other expense net was $2,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and
$26,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and both consisted primarily of expenses incurred in
connection with non-capitalizable acquisition activities.
Consolidated Interest Expense
Consolidated interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $533,000 as compared
to $134,000 in the comparable prior year period. The increase in interest expense during 2005 was a
result of increased acquisition and working capital indebtedness associated with our 2003 and 2004
brand acquisitions and higher interest rates. We expect this to
continue to increase as a result of our recent acquisitions.
15
Consolidated Income Tax Provision
We recorded income tax expense benefit for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 of $685,000 as
compared to income tax expense of $465,000 for the comparable prior year period. Our effective tax
rates during the quarters ended July 2, 2005 and June 26, 2004 were 40% and 42%, respectively.
However, it is anticipated that the effective tax rate going forward
will be closer to 42%. Deferred income
taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities, for financial reporting purposes, and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Consolidated Net (Loss) Earnings
Our net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $1.0 million as compared to net
earnings of $643,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The decline in net earnings is
primarily due to the temporary cessation of DoD deliveries at our
Altama unit, a decline in net
sales for several of our footwear brands and higher operating costs.
Footwear and Apparel Business
Net Sales
Net sales for the second quarter ended July 2, 2005 decreased $2.0 million or 14.3%,
decreasing to $11.9 million from $13.9 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2004. This decrease is due
primarily to a 44% decline in net sales of our Trotters brand and a 24% decline in net sales of our
SoftWalk brand for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal
2004. These declines were partially offset by a 133% increase in net sales of our H.S. Trask brand
for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to
the second quarter of fiscal 2004
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased 24% to $4.8 million as compared
to $6.3 million for the comparable prior year period. Gross margin in this segment as a percentage
of net sales decreased to 40% compared to 45% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross
profit was primarily related to decreased sales from the Trotter and SoftWalk product lines and a
higher level of close-out sales as compared to the comparable prior
year period. The decline in our gross profit margin was primarily due
to the addition of the Altama brand during the second quarter of
fiscal 2005.
Operating Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.4 million, or 54.2% of net sales in this
segment, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to $5.0 million or 36.2% of net sales
for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. This dollar increase was primarily related to increased
operating costs associated with increased legal, acquisition,
marketing and employee compensation costs along with operating costs
associated with the recently acquired Altama brand.
16
Military Boot Business
Net Sales
Net
sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 were $3.5 million.
Net sales to the DoD were
$929,000 or 27% of total net sales for our military boot business and
net sales to commercial customers
were $2.5 million or 73% of total net sales for our military boot business. The Altama brand
experienced a $8.7 million decrease in year-over-year net sales based on $12.2 million in net sales
for Altamas three months ended July 3, 2004, prior to acquisition of the brand, due primarily to
the DoDs temporary cessation of boot deliveries in the second quarter of fiscal 2005.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $1.1 million or 32% of net sales for
this segment as compared to gross profit of $4.0 million or 33% for Altamas three months ended
July 3, 2004, prior to the acquisition. This decrease in gross
profit as a percentage of net sales is
due primarily to higher per unit operating costs associated with
lower production levels.
Operating Expenses
Direct selling, general and administrative expenses were $617,000, or 18% of net sales for
this segment, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to $1.1 million, or 9% of net sales
for Altamas three months ended July 3, 2004, prior to the acquisition. This reduction in direct
SG&A expenses in fiscal 2005 as compared to the prior year period is due primarily to reductions in
employee compensation resulting from decreased headcount and related costs.
Fiscal Six Month Period Ended July 2, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Six Month Period Ended June 26, 2004.
Consolidated Net Sales
Consolidated net sales for the six months ended July 2, 2005 increased $9.3 million or 28.4%,
increasing to $41.8 million from $32.5 million for the six months ended June 26, 2004. Of this
increase $10.3 million is attributable to acquired brand revenue associated with the Altama® brand
acquisition which occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2004,
which was partially offset by a decline in other
footwear brand sales.
Consolidated Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit for the six months ended July 2, 2005 was $16.4 million or 39% of
net sales as compared to $14.4 million or 44% of net sales in
the same period of fiscal 2004. The
decrease in gross profit was primarily related to the addition of the Altama brand gross margins,
which generate lower gross margins than the Companys other branded products and a higher level of
footwear close-out sales as compared to the prior year period.
Consolidated Operating Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were
36% or $15.2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2005 versus 33% or $10.9 million for the
comparable prior year period. This dollar increase was primarily related to increased legal,
acquisition, marketing and employee compensation costs along with operating costs associated with
our recently acquired Altama brand.
Our consolidated Other expense net was $615,000 for the six months ended July 2, 2005 and
consisted primarily of expenses incurred in connection with severance and management restructuring
charges. Our Other expense net was $60,000 for the comparable six month period in fiscal 2004
consisted primarily of expenses incurred in connection with non-capitalizable acquisition
activities.
Consolidated Interest Expense
17
Interest expense for the six month period ended July 2, 2004 was $965,000 as compared to
$304,000 in the comparable prior fiscal year. The increase in interest expense is related to
increased acquisition and working capital debt associated with brand acquisitions and higher
interest rates.
Consolidated Income Tax Provision
We recorded income tax expense for the six months ended July 2, 2005 of $102,000 as compared
to $1.4 million for the comparable prior year period. Our effective tax rates during the six month
periods ended July 2, 2005 and June 26, 2004 were 42% and 42%, respectively. Deferred income taxes
reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities, for financial reporting purposes, and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Consolidated Net Earnings
Our consolidated net earnings for the six months ended July 2, 2005 were $140,000 as compared
to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 26, 2004 and our net earnings per diluted share were
$0.02 for the six months ended July 2, 2005 as compared to $0.36 per diluted share for the same
period of fiscal 2004. This year to date net income decline is primarily due to the temporary cessation of DoD deliveries
at our Altama unit, a decline in net sales for our Trotters and
Softwalk brands during the second quarter of
fiscal 2005, as well as a severance charge of $610,000 related to
management restructuring recorded
in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
18
Footwear and Apparel Business
Net Sales
Net
sales for the six months ended July 2, 2005 decreased
$1.0 million or 3.2%, decreasing to
$31.5 million from $32.5 million for the six months ended June 26, 2004. This decrease is due
primarily to a 34% decline in net sales of our Trotters brand and a 6% decline in net sales of our
SoftWalk brand for the six month period of fiscal 2005 as compared to the comparable period of
fiscal 2004. These declines were partially offset by a 58% increase in net sales of our H.S. Trask
brand and a 17% increase in net sales of our Royal Robbins brand for the six month period of fiscal
2005 as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2004.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the six months ended July 2, 2005 was $13.6 million or 43% of net sales in
this segment as compared to $14.4 million or 44% of net sales in this segment in the same period of
2004. The decrease in gross profit was primarily related to decreased sales from the Trotter and
SoftWalk product lines and a higher level of close-out sales as compared to the comparable prior
year period.
Operating Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales in this segment were
42.7% or $13.4 million for the six months ended July 2, 2005 versus 33.3% or $10.8 million for the
comparable prior year period. This dollar increase was primarily
related to increased operating costs associated with increased legal,
acquisition, marketing and employee compensation costs along with
operating costs associated with the Altama brand acquired in
fiscal 2004.
Military Boot Business
Net Sales
Net sales for the six months ended July 2, 2005 were $10.3 million. Sales to the DoD were $4.7
million or 46% of total net sales for our military boot business and sales to commercial customers
were $5.6 million or 54% of total net sales for our military boot business. The Altama brand
experienced a $13.9 million decrease in year-over-year net sales based on $24.2 million in net
sales for Altamas six months ended July 3, 2004, prior to acquisition of the brand, due primarily
to the DoDs discontinuance of its surge option under the DMS combat boot contract and the
temporary cessation of boot deliveries in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. There is
approximately 1 month remaining on the current DMS contract option extension with an additional one
year option available for the option year October 2005 through September 2006. The maximum pairs
that the DoD can order under this option is less than that of the base contract year as a result of
the discontinuance of the DMS all leather-combat boot. We have been advised that the DoD does not
intend to issue orders in excess of the maximum award during this first option year. Therefore, we
will not be operating at surge production rates and our net sales under the Altama brand are
expected to be lower in fiscal 2005 than in fiscal 2004. We believe the DoD will exercise the
second year option on this contract, but cannot estimate the quantity of boots that will be ordered
during this second option year. The DoDs delay in acceptance of deliveries we are now
experiencing will also have an adverse effect on our results in the third quarter.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the six months ended July 2, 2005 was $2.8 million or 27% of net sales for
this segment as compared to gross profit of $7.5 million or 31% for Altamas six months ended July
3, 2004, prior to the acquisition. This decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales is due
to higher per unit manufacturing costs associated with lower
production levels.
Operating Expenses
Direct selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.2 million, or 12% of net sales for
this segment, for the six month period ended July 2, 2005, compared to $2.1 million, or 9% of net
sales for Altamas six months ended July 3, 2004, prior to the acquisition. This reduction in
direct SG&A expenses in fiscal 2005 as compared to the prior
fiscal year period is due primarily to
reductions in employee compensation due to decreased headcount and related costs.

Our quarterly results of operations have fluctuated, and we expect will continue to fluctuate
in the future, as a result of seasonal variances. Notwithstanding the effects of our acquisition
activity, net sales and income from operations in our first and third quarters historically have
been stronger than in our second and fourth quarters.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity requirements have continued to include debt service, capital
expenditures, working capital needs and financing for acquisitions. We have historically met these
liquidity needs with cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit facility, seller
financing in acquisitions and equity issuances.
On
June 29, 2005, the Company entered into a new credit facility agreement with Manufacturers
and Traders Trust Company (M&T). This new agreement replaced entirely the Companys prior credit
agreement and amendments with M&T with a $52.0 million credit facility. The new credit agreement
establishes up to a $24.0 million revolving credit facility, a $5.0 million swing line loan and a
$28.0 million term loan. The revolver has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.0%, or the prime rate
plus .375%. The term loan has an interest rate of LIBOR rate plus
3.5%. The borrowings under the
new credit agreement are secured by a blanket security interest in all the assets of the Company
and its subsidiaries. This new credit facility expires on June 30, 2010 and all borrowings under
the facility are due and payable on that date. At July 2, 2005, LIBOR with a 90-day maturity was
3.50% and the prime rate was 6.25%. The Companys availability under the revolving credit facility
is $24.0 million and is subject to a borrowing base formula with inventory caps, and financial
covenants requiring the Company not to exceed certain average borrowed funds to EBITDA ratios and
cash flow coverage ratios.
On August 4, 2005, in connection with our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of
The Paradise Shoe Company, LLC, the Company and M&T entered into an amended and restated credit
facility agreement. This agreement replaced the Companys existing credit agreement with M&T of
$52 million and increased its availability to $63 million. M&T acted as lender and administrative
agent for additional lenders under the new credit agreement. The new credit agreement increases
the existing line of credit from $24 million to $28 million and adds a $7 million bridge loan used
for the acquisition of Paradise Shoe. The revolving line has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.0%,
or the prime rate plus .375%. The bridge loan has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5% or the prime
rate plus .75%. The borrowings under the new credit agreement are secured by a blanket security
interest in all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The credit facility expires on
June 30, 2010 and all borrowings under that facility are due and payable on that date. The
Companys availability under the revolving credit facility is $28 million (subject to a
borrowing base formula). The bridge loan is due December 31, 2005.
The new credit agreement includes a borrowing base formula with inventory caps, and financial
covenants requiring the Company not to exceed certain average borrowed funds to EBITDA ratios and
cash flow coverage ratios.
Cash Flows Used By Operations. During the six months ended July 2, 2005, our net cash used by
operations was $722,000 as compared to $724,000 cash provided by operations comparable period of
fiscal 2004. The increase in cash used by operations was primarily due to the decrease in accounts
payable and increase in other noncurrent assets partially offset by decreases in accounts
receivable and inventories.
Working capital at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was approximately $37.0
million, compared to approximately $29.2 million at the end of fiscal 2004. Our working capital
varies from time to time as a result of the seasonal requirements of our brands,
20
which have
historically been heightened during the first and third quarter
related to the timing of
factory shipments, the need to increase inventories and support an in-stock position in
anticipation of customers orders, and the timing of accounts receivable collections. The
improvement in working capital at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the end
of fiscal 2004 was due primarily to increases in accounts receivables associated with higher sales
and increases in inventories associated with the impact of our fiscal 2005 acquisition. Our
current ratio, the relationship of current assets to current liabilities, increased to 3.47 at the
end of the second quarter of fiscal 2005 from 2.92 at the end of fiscal 2004. Accounts receivable
days sales outstanding increased from 58 days at the end of fiscal 2004 to 73 days at the end of
the second quarter of fiscal 2005, reflective of seasonality and the inclusion of Chambers accounts
receivable.
Investing Activities. In the six months ended July 2, 2005, our cash used in investing
activities totaled $20.6 million compared to cash used totaling $554,000 in the comparable period
of fiscal 2004. During the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 26, 2004, cash used in investing
activities was primarily due to the 2005 acquisition and the purchases of equipment.
For the remainder of the current fiscal year, we anticipate capital expenditures of
approximately $400,000, which will consist generally of equipment upgrades that Altamas business
will require. The actual amount of capital expenditures for fiscal 2005 may differ from this
estimate, largely depending on acquisitions we may complete or unforeseen needs to replace existing
assets.
Financing Activities. For the six months ended July 2, 2005, our net cash provided by
financing activities was $21.3 million compared to cash used of $1.2 million for the comparable
period of fiscal 2004. The cash provided in the current year period was primarily due to proceeds
from borrowings made on our revolving line of credit and notes payable partially offset by notes
payable payments made. This cash was used to complete the acquisition of Chambers. The cash used in
fiscal 2004 was primarily due to net payments made on our revolving line of credit and notes
payable combined with the repurchase of common stock from our 401(k) plan upon the election of
terminated plan participants, partially offset by cash received from the stock option exercises.
Our ability to generate sufficient cash to fund our operations depends generally on the
results of our operations and the availability of financing. Our management believes that cash
flows from operations in conjunction with the available borrowing capacity under our amended credit
facility, net of outstanding letters of credit, of approximately $2.2 million at July 2, 2005, will
be sufficient for the foreseeable future to fund operations, meet debt service and contingent
earnout payment requirements and fund capital expenditures other than future acquisitions.
Contractual Obligations
In the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended January 1, 2005 under the heading
Contractual Obligations, we outlined certain of our contractual obligations as described therein.
For the quarter ended July 2, 2005, there have been no material changes in the contractual
obligations specified except for the following: 1) the
additional borrowings under our amended credit facility as described
above; and 2) the following obligations incurred in connection
with the Chambers Belt acquisition, a) managements current
estimate of potential earnout payments of approximately $2.5 million
and $3.0 million for the 12-month periods ending June 29, 2006 and
2007, respectively, so long as Chambers Belt meets certain earnings requirements,
although actual payments may vary from these estimated amounts;
b) $3.0 million to be paid as consideration for a five-year
covenant-not-to-compete and other restrictive covenants to Chambers
Belts shareholders; c) employment agreements with Charles
Stewart, Kelly Green and David Matheson which provide for total
compensation of approximately $1.4 million; and d) an aggregate of
approximately $21.3 million in minimum royalty payments under the terms of the
Companys license agreements and related agreements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases. We do not believe that
these operating leases are material to our current or future financial condition, results of
operations, liquidity, capital resources or capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies:
As of July 2, 2005, the Companys consolidated critical accounting policies and estimates have
not changed materially from those set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
January 1, 2005 with the following exception:
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Compensation, which supersedes
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting
21
for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R focuses
primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services through
share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of
employee services received in exchange for the award of equity investments based on the fair value
of the award at the date of grant. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an
employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. On April 14, 2005, the SEC
issued a release announcing the adoption of a new rule delaying the required implementation of SFAS
No. 123R. Under this new rule, SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the beginning of the first annual
reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The impact on net earnings as a result of the
adoption of SFAS No. 123R, from a historical perspective can be found in Note 3 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report and in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. We are currently evaluating the
provisions of SFAS No. 123R and will adopt in the first quarter of 2006, as required.
On February 24, 2005, in response to the issuance of SFAS 123R, we authorized an immediate
vesting of eligible employees unvested share options with an exercise price greater than $6.50 per
share. In total, 440,333 options with an average exercise price of $10.20 immediately vested and
have an average remaining contractual life of 8.6 years. The unamortized fair value associated
with these accelerated-vest shares in the amount of $2.5 million amortized immediately. Had the
accelerated-vest program not occurred, the related-cost in fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007 would have
included $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $268,000, respectively. In addition to its
employee-retention value, our decision to accelerate the vesting of these out-of-the-money
options was based upon the accounting of such costs moving from disclosure-only in 2004 to being
included in the Companys statement of operations in 2006.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Securities and Exchange Commission filings that are
incorporated by reference into this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. We intend that these

Factors That May Affect Forward Looking Statements
Our acquisitions or acquisition efforts, which are important to our growth, may not be
successful, which may limit our growth or adversely affect our results of operations and financial
condition
Acquisitions have been an important part of our development to date. During fiscal 2003, we
acquired Royal Robbins and H.S. Trask and during fiscal 2004, we
acquired Altama. On June 29, 2005
we acquired Chambers Belt, and on August 4, 2005 we acquired Paradise Shoe. As part of our
business strategy, we intend to make additional acquisitions of footwear, apparel and related
products companies that we believe could complement or expand our business, augment our market
coverage, provide us with important relationships or otherwise offer us growth opportunities. If we
identify an appropriate acquisition candidate, we may not be able to
22
complete the acquisition timely or at all, or negotiate successfully the terms of or finance the
acquisition. Unsuccessful acquisition efforts may result in significant additional expenses that
would not otherwise be incurred. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
integrate the operations of our acquisitions without encountering difficulties, including
unanticipated costs, possible difficulty in retaining customers and supplier or manufacturing
relationships, failure to retain key employees, the diversion of management attention or failure to
integrate our information and accounting systems. Following an acquisition, we may not realize the
revenues and cost savings that we expect to achieve or that would justify the acquisition
investment, and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate. These circumstances could
adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
Our future success depends on our ability to respond to changing consumer preferences and
fashion trends and to develop and commercialize new products successfully
A significant portion of our principal business is the design, development and marketing of
dress and casual footwear and apparel. Although our focus in this segment of our business is on
traditional and sustainable niche brands, our consumer brands may still be subject to rapidly
changing consumer preferences and fashion trends. For example, our
Trotters brand has experienced decreased retail acceptance of certain styles, which adversely affected our net sales.
Accordingly, we must identify and interpret fashion trends and respond in a timely manner. Demand
for and market acceptance of new products, such as our H.S. Trask womens and Strol brands and our
new Altama public safety footwear line, are uncertain, and achieving market acceptance for new
products generally requires substantial product development and marketing efforts and expenditures.
Any failure on our part to regularly develop innovative products and update core products could
limit our ability to differentiate and appropriately price our products, adversely affect retail
and consumer acceptance of our products, and limit sales growth. Each of these risks could
adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
We face intense competition, including competition from companies with greater resources than
ours, and if we are unable to compete effectively with these companies, our market share may
decline and our business and stock price could be harmed
We face intense competition in the footwear and apparel industry from other companies, such as
Brown Shoe Company, which markets the Naturalizer® brand, and Columbia Sportswear Company®. We also
face competition from several companies in our military boot operations. Many of our competitors
have greater financial, distribution or marketing resources, as well as greater brand awareness. In
addition, the overall availability of overseas manufacturing opportunities and capacity allow for
the introduction of competitors with new products. Moreover, new companies may enter the markets in
which we compete, further increasing competition in the footwear and apparel industry.
We believe that our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including
anticipating and responding to changing consumer demands in a timely manner, maintaining brand
reputation and authenticity, developing high quality products that appeal to consumers,
appropriately pricing our products, providing strong and effective marketing support, ensuring
product availability and maintaining and effectively assessing our distribution channels, as well
as many other factors beyond our control. Due to these factors within and beyond our control, we
may not be able to compete successfully in the future. Increased competition may result in price
reductions, reduced profit margins, loss of market share, and an inability to generate cash flows
that are sufficient to maintain or expand our development and marketing of new products, each of
which would adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
A large portion of our sales are to a relatively small group of customers with whom we do not
have long-term purchase orders, therefore the loss of any one or more of these customers could
adversely affect our business
Ten major customers represented approximately 30% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal
2005, including the DoD, which comprised 6%. Most of these same customers represented 36% of net
sales in fiscal 2004. Sales to REI specialty retail stores represented 8% of our net sales in the
second quarter of fiscal 2005. Sales to Dillards department stores represented 7% and 11% of our
net sales in the full fiscal year of 2004 and 2003, respectively. Dillard sales for 2005 are
expected to decline to approximately 3% of total fiscal 2005 sales as a result of a consolidation
of Dillards footwear vendor base offset by an expected increase in our Dillards apparel sales.
Although we have long-term relationships with many of our customers, our customers do not have a
contractual obligation to purchase our products, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to
retain our existing major customers. The retail industry can be uncertain due to changing customer
buying patterns and consumer preferences, and customer financial instability.
23
These factors could cause us to lose one or more of these customers, which could adversely affect
our business. We expect the DoD to be our largest customer in fiscal 2005. Material reductions in
the level of orders from the DoD have harmed our operating results
and this trend could continue.
The financial instability of our customers could adversely affect our business and result in
reduced sales, profits and cash flows
We sell much of our merchandise in our footwear and apparel segment to major department stores
and specialty retailers across the U.S. and extend credit based on an evaluation of each customers
financial condition, usually without requiring collateral. However, the financial difficulties of a
customer could cause us to curtail business with that customer. We may also assume more credit risk
relating to that customers receivables due us. Two of our customers constituted 7% of trade
accounts receivable outstanding at July 2, 2005. Our inability to collect on our trade accounts
receivable from any of our major customers could adversely affect our business or financial
condition.
Our ability to compete could be jeopardized if we are unable to protect our intellectual
property rights or if we are sued for intellectual property infringement
We believe that we derive a competitive advantage from our ownership of the Trotters,
SoftWalk, H.S. Trask, Royal Robbins and Altama trademarks, and our patented footbed technology. In
addition, we own and license other trademarks that we utilize in marketing our products. We
vigorously protect our trademarks against infringement. We believe that our trademarks are
generally sufficient to permit us to carry on our business as presently conducted. We cannot,
however, know whether we will be able to secure trademark protection for our intellectual property
in the future or that protection will be adequate for future products. Further, we face the risk of
ineffective protection of intellectual property rights in the countries where we source our
products. We cannot be sure that our activities do not and will not infringe on the proprietary
rights of others. If we are compelled to prosecute infringing parties, defend our intellectual
property, or defend ourselves from intellectual property claims made by others, we may face
significant expenses and liability that could divert our managements attention and resources and
otherwise adversely affect our business or financial condition.
We depend on third-party trademarks to market some of our products and services and the loss of the
right to use these trademarks or the diminished marketing appeal of these trademarks could
adversely affect our business.
We hold licenses to design and distribute products bearing trademarks owned by other persons.
We have an exclusive license from to design and distribute mens and womens footwear, hosiery,
belts and mens small leather goods and accessories bearing the Tommy Bahama® mark and related
marks and exclusive licenses from Wrangler Apparel Corp. to distribute leather belts, accessories,
and suspenders bearing the Wrangler® mark and related marks. Each license agreement may be
terminated by the respective licensors prior to the end of the applicable term for several reasons,
including a material default by us under the applicable agreement, or if we do not meet certain
sales requirements. Although we just recently obtained these licenses in connection with our
recent acquisitions of Paradise Shoe and Chambers Belt, we expect that the revenue generated from
sales of products under these licenses will be a significant part of our overall revenue.
If an owner of a trademark that we license terminates our license agreements because we have
materially defaulted under the applicable agreement, have not met required sales requirements, or
for any other reason permitted under such agreements, or if the name Tommy Bahama® (or related
marks) or Wrangler® (or related marks) were to suffer diminished marketing appeal, or if we are
unable to renew these agreements, our revenues and operations could be materially adversely
affected.
Our international manufacturing operations are subject to the risks of doing business abroad,
which could affect our ability to manufacture our products in international markets, obtain
products from foreign suppliers or control the costs of our products
We currently rely on foreign sourcing of our products, other than most of our military
footwear and some belts manufactured at our California facility. We believe that one of the key factors in our growth has been our strong relationships
with manufacturers capable of meeting our requirements for quality and price
in a timely fashion. We obtain our foreign-sourced products primarily from independent third-party
manufacturing facilities located in
24
Brazil and Asia. As a result, we are subject to the general
risks of doing business outside the U.S., including, without limitation, work stoppages,
transportation delays and interruptions, political instability, expropriation, nationalization,
foreign currency fluctuation, changing economic conditions, the imposition of tariffs, import and
export controls and other non- tariff barriers, and changes in local government administration and
governmental policies, and to factors such as the short-term and long-term effects of severe acute
respiratory syndrome, or SARS, and the outbreak of avian influenza in China. Although a diverse
domestic and international industry exists for the kinds of merchandise sourced by us, there can be
no assurance that these factors will not adversely affect our business, financial condition or
results of operations.
Our reliance on independent manufacturers for almost all of our non mil-spec products, with
whom we do not have long-term written agreements, could cause delay and damage customer
relationships
In fiscal 2004, 11 manufacturers accounted for 100% of our dress and casual footwear and 5
manufactures accounted for 58% of our apparel volume. Two foreign manufactures accounted for 100%
of our non mil-spec boot volume. Taking into account the inclusion of Altama, Chambers and Paradise
Shoe, for a full fiscal year following the 2004 and 2005 acquisitions we anticipate in fiscal 2005
that approximately 77% of our net sales could come from products sourced from third party
manufacturers. We do not have long-term written agreements with any of our third-party
manufacturers. As a result, any of these manufacturers may unilaterally terminate their
relationships with us at any time. Establishing relationships with new manufacturers would require
a significant amount of time and would cause us to incur delays and additional expenses, which
would also adversely affect our business and results of operations.
In addition, in the past, a manufacturers failure to ship products to us in a timely manner
or to meet the required quality standards has caused us to miss the delivery date requirements of
our customers for those items. This, in turn, has caused, and may in the future cause, customers to
cancel orders, refuse to accept deliveries or demand reduced prices. This could adversely affect
our business and results of operation.
Our results could be adversely affected by disruptions in the manufacturing system for our
Altama brand
Since July 2004, Altamas manufacturing operations produced approximately 80% of the products
sold under the Altama brand. We expect that these products could represent over 19% of our combined
net sales in fiscal 2005. In September 2004 we encountered production delays at our Puerto Rico
manufacturing plant after a closure for several days due to severe weather. Any significant
disruption in those operations or in our new Chambers Belt
California manufacturing operations for any reason, such as power interruptions, fires, hurricanes, war
or other force majeure, could adversely affect our sales and customer relationships and therefore
adversely affect our business.
If we are unable to replace revenues from sales to the DoD of products planned to be
discontinued, our net sales and our consolidated operating results would be adversely affected
Under our current contract with the DoD under our Altama brand, we manufactured three models
of mil-spec combat boots during the first year of the contract which ended September 30, 2004. One
of these models, the all-leather combat boot, was discontinued by the DoD, in favor of a new
waterproof infantry combat boot, and is not subject to the first year option under the DoD contract
under which we are currently operating. Pro forma net sales under the Altama brand of the
all-leather combat boot to the DoD during fiscal 2004 were $2.5 million, representing approximately
9% of Altamas pro forma net sales from sales to the DoD for fiscal 2004.
In March 2003, the DSCP awarded contracts to supply the infantry combat boot. To date, we have
not been awarded a contract to produce the new infantry combat boot. While there may be additional
opportunities to bid on the infantry combat boot and other waterproof boot contracts in the future,
particularly as the U.S. Army transitions from the all-leather combat boot, our failure to be
awarded a contract in March 2003 may be a significant disadvantage in bidding on future contracts.
Consequently, we anticipate that our net sales to the DoD will decline if we are not able to obtain
awards of contracts for infantry combat boots or any other new models or increased percentages of
awards for existing mil-spec boots we currently manufacture.
Doing business with the U.S. government entails many risks that could adversely affect us
through the early termination of our contracts or by interfering with Altamas ability to obtain
future government contracts
25
Our contracts with the DoD under the Altama brand are subject to partial or complete
termination under specified circumstances including, but not limited to, the following
circumstances:
|
|
the convenience of the government; |
|
|
|
the lack of funding; or |
|
|
|
our actual or anticipated failure to perform our contractual obligations. |
Additionally, there could be changes in government policies or spending priorities as a result
of election results or changes in political conditions or other factors that could significantly
affect the level of troop deployment. Any of these occurrences could adversely affect the level of
business we do with the DoD and, consequently, our operating results. For example, the DoD has
advised us that it will not order in excess of the maximum volume under the first year option of
its current DoD contract and, therefore, the volume of orders does not require us to operate at
surge rates as was the case during fiscal 2004.
There is no certainty that the DSCP will exercise renewal options on any contract we may have
or that we will be awarded future DSCP boot solicitations. Most boot contracts are for multi-year
periods. Therefore, a bidder not receiving an award from a significant solicitation could be
adversely affected for several years.
The DSCP and other DoD agencies with which Altama may do business are also subject to unique
political and budgetary constraints and have special contracting requirements and complex
procurement laws that may affect the contract or Altamas ability to obtain new government
customers. These agencies often do not set their own budgets and therefore have little control over
the amount of money they can spend. In addition, these agencies experience political pressure that
may dictate the manner in which they spend money. Due to political and budgetary processes and
other scheduling delays that frequently occur in the contract or bidding process, some government
agency orders may be canceled or substantially delayed, and the receipt of revenues or payments may
be substantially delayed. For example, the DoD has delayed acceptance of products ordered which we
believe will cause our results to be lower in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 than we
anticipated.
Government agencies have the power, based on financial difficulties or investigations of their
contractors, to deem contractors unsuitable for new contract awards. Because we engage in the
governmental contracting business, we will be subject to audits and may be subject to investigation
by governmental entities. Failure to comply with the terms of any of these government contracts
could result in substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties, as well as our suspension from
future government contracts for a significant period of time, any of which could adversely affect
our business by requiring us to spend money to pay the fines and penalties and prohibiting us from
earning revenues from government contracts during the suspension period.
Furthermore, our failure to qualify as a small business under federal regulations following
the acquisition could reduce the likelihood of our ability to received awards of future DoD
contracts. Altama qualified as a small business at the time of its bid for the current DoD
contract. Small business status, having less than 500 employees, is a factor that the DoD considers
in awarding its military boot contracts. Our combined employment with Altama could exceed 500
employees in the future, which could adversely affect our ability to obtain future contract awards
The sales of the Altama brand to the commercial market have grown at significant rates over
the past three years, and there can be no assurance that our net sales growth under this brand will
continue at this rate
In the last three fiscal years, Altamas net sales from sales to the commercial market have
grown significantly. This has contributed in part to Altamas overall growth in net sales over that
period. This growth has been due in part to added customer demand, increased pricing and expansion
of customers, and in particular, higher international demand as the result of increasing military
and security personnel to fight the war on terrorism. There is no assurance that this level of
demand will continue or that we will be able to achieve or maintain this level of growth in the
commercial market after the acquisition.
We depend on our senior executives to develop and execute our strategic plan and manage our
operations, and if we are unable to retain them, our business could be harmed
26
Our future success depends upon the continued services of James Riedman, our Chairman of the
Board, who has played a key role in developing and implementing our strategic plan. We also rely on
Richard E. White, our Chief Executive Officer and Kenneth E. Wolf, our Chief Financial Officer, who
have played key roles in integrating our newly acquired brands. Our loss of any of these
individuals would harm us if we are unable to employ a suitable replacement in a timely manner. We
do not maintain key man insurance on Messrs. Riedman, White or Wolf or any of our other senior
executives.
Fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials could adversely affect
our gross profit
Fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials, such as leather and
bison hides, used to manufacture our products, could adversely affect our cost of goods or our
ability to meet our customers demands. Although we do not expect our foreign manufacturing
partners, or ourselves in manufacturing our Altama brand, to have any difficulty in obtaining the
raw materials required for footwear production, certain sources may experience some difficulty in
obtaining raw materials. For example, in fiscal 2002, the availability of leather decreased as a
result of destruction of livestock due to concerns about mad cow disease and hoof and mouth
disease. We generally do not enter into long-term purchase commitments. In the event of price
increases in these raw materials in the future, we may not be able to pass all or a portion of
these higher raw materials prices on to our customers, which would adversely affect our gross
profit.
A decline in general economic conditions could lead to reduced consumer demand for our
products and could lead to a reduction in our net sales, and thus in our ability to obtain credit
In addition to consumer fashion preferences, consumer spending habits are affected by, among
other things, prevailing economic conditions, levels of employment, salaries and wage rates,
consumer confidence and consumer perception of economic conditions. For example, in fiscal 2003 the
U.S. economy, and more specifically the retail environment, experienced a general slowdown, and
adversely affected consumer spending habits. Future slowdowns would likely cause us to delay or
slow our expansion plans and result in lower net sales than expected on a quarterly or annual
basis, which could lead to a reduction in our stockholders equity and thus our ability to obtain
credit as and when needed.
Our recently completed acquisitions make evaluating our operating results difficult given the
significance of these acquisitions to our operations, and our historical results do not give you an
accurate indication of how we will perform in the future
Our historical results of operations do not give effect for a full fiscal year to our 2004
acquisition of Altama or our recent acquisitions of Chambers Belt and Paradise Shoe. Accordingly,
our historical financial information does not necessarily reflect what our financial position,
operating results and cash flows will be in the future as a result of these acquisitions, or give
you an accurate indication of how Phoenix Footwear will perform in the future.
Additionally, our management team has limited experience in selling to the government, which
comprises a significant amount of net sales under the Altama brand.
The financing of any future acquisitions we make may result in dilution to your stock
ownership and/or could increase our leverage and our risk of defaulting on our bank debt
Our business strategy is to expand into new markets and enhance our position in existing
markets through acquisitions. In order to successfully complete targeted acquisitions or to fund
our other activities, we may issue additional equity securities that could dilute your stock
ownership. We may also incur additional debt if we acquire another company, which could
significantly increase our leverage and hence our risk of default under our secured credit
facility. For example, in financing our recent Chambers Belt acquisition we issued 374,462 shares
of our common stock in a private placement to Chambers Belt and incurred approximately $21.0
million of additional debt under our amended credit facility to pay the purchase price and to
refinance Chambers Belts funded indebtedness. In our recent acquisition of Paradise Shoe, we
increased our credit facility again to, among other things, obtain $7.0 million term loan to pay
the cash purchase price.
27
Defaults under our secured credit arrangement could result in a foreclosure on our assets by
our bank
We have a $63.0 million secured credit facility with our bank that we just recently amended on
August 3, 2005, to increase our borrowing capacity from $52 million in connection with our
acquisition of Paradise Shoe. As of July 2, 2005, we had $48.6 million outstanding under this
facility, not including the new $7.0 million term loan we
borrowed on August
4, 2005. In the future, we may incur additional indebtedness in connection with other
acquisitions or for other purposes. All of our assets are pledged as collateral to secure our bank
debt. Our credit facility includes a number of covenants, including financial covenants. If we
default under our credit arrangement and are unable to cure the default, obtain appropriate waivers
or refinance the defaulted debt, our bank could declare our debt to be immediately due and payable
and foreclose on our assets, which may result in a complete loss of your investment.
We may be required to recognize impairment charges that could adversely affect our reported
earnings in future periods
Our business acquisitions typically result in goodwill and other intangible assets. As of July
2, 2005, we had $69.7 million of goodwill and unamortizable intangibles. We expect this figure to
continue to increase with additional acquisitions. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, we are required to perform impairment tests on our goodwill
annually or at any time when events occur that could impact the value of our business. Our
determination of whether an impairment has occurred is based on a comparison of each of our
reporting units fair market value with its carrying value. Significant and unanticipated changes
could require a provision for impairment in a future period that could adversely affect our
reported earnings in a period of such change.
The exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, and the allocation of unallocated
shares held by our 401(k) plan, would cause dilution to our stockholders ownership percentage
and/or a reduction in earnings per diluted share
As of July 30, 2005, we had outstanding 8,366,547 shares of common stock, including 358,885
unallocated shares held by our 401(k) plan, which despite the fact they are outstanding for voting
and other legal purposes, are classified as treasury shares for financial statement reporting
purposes and are not taken into account in determining our earnings per share or earnings per
diluted share. The 358,885 unallocated shares will be allocated at the rate of approximately
120,000 shares annually until they are fully allocated to the accounts of plan participants. After
each allocation these additional shares will be included in the weighted average shares outstanding
for purposes of determining our earnings per share and earnings per diluted share. In addition, as
of that date, we had outstanding options and warrants to purchase 1,575,602 shares at exercise
prices ranging from $1.73 to $15.00 per share. The exercise of all or part of these options or
warrants would cause our stockholders to experience a dilution in their percentage ownership for
legal purposes.
The charge to earnings from the compensation to employees under our employee retirement plan
could adversely affect the value of your investment in our common stock
As of July 2, 2005, our 401(k) plan held 358,885 unallocated shares of our common stock, which
constituted approximately 4% of our outstanding shares as of that date. Under the terms of the
plan, approximately 120,000 of these shares will be allocated to plan participants in February of
each year until fully allocated of which approximately 120,000 were allocated in February 2005. We
are required to record an expense for compensation based on the market value of the amount
allocated to employees each year. For fiscal 2003 and 2004, we recorded non-cash expenses for this
allocation of $402,000 and $854,000, respectively. To the extent our stock price increases, we
would be required to take a higher charge for this allocation and thereby decrease our reported
earnings. This could adversely affect the value of your investment in our common stock.
We are controlled by a principal stockholder who may exert significant control over us and our
significant corporate decisions in a manner adverse to your personal investment objectives, which
could depress the market value of our stock
James R. Riedman, our Chairman of the Board, is the largest beneficial owner of our stock.
Through his personal holdings and shares over which he is deemed to have beneficial ownership held
by Riedman Corporation (of which he is a shareholder, President
28
and a director), our employee retirement plan, his children, and an affiliated entity, he
beneficially owned approximately 26.9% of our outstanding shares as of July 30, 2005. Mr. Riedman
also has beneficial ownership of shares underlying options which, if exercised, would increase his
percentage beneficial ownership to approximately 31.9% as of July 30, 2005. Through this beneficial
ownership, Mr. Riedman can direct our affairs and significantly influence the election or removal
of our directors and the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including
amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and approval of mergers or sales of
substantially all of our assets. The interest of our principal stockholder may conflict with
interests of other stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also harm the market price of
our common stock by, among other things:
|
|
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company; |
|
|
|
impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving our
company; |
|
|
|
causing us to enter into transactions or agreements that are not in the best interests of
all stockholders; or |
|
|
|
discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of our company. |
Our inventory levels may exceed our actual needs, which could adversely affect our operating
results by requiring us to make inventory write-downs
If we order more product than we are able to sell, we could be required to write-down this
inventory, adversely affecting our margins and in turn, our operating results. Additional, excess
inventory adversely affects our liquidity. Excess inventory could occur as the result of change in
customer order patterns, general sales activity, orders subject to cancellation by customers,
misforecasting and consumer demand. Write-downs of inventory could adversely affect our gross
profit and operating results.
Our financial results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of seasonality in our
business, and if we fail to meet expectations, the price of our common stock may fluctuate
The footwear and apparel industry generally, and our business specifically, are characterized
by seasonality in net sales and results of operations. Our business is seasonal, with the first and
third quarters generally having stronger sales and operating results than the other two quarters.
These events could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate.
Delaware law, our charter documents and agreements with our executives may impede or
discourage a takeover, even if a takeover would be in the interest of our stockholders
We are a Delaware corporation, and the anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law impose various
impediments to the ability of a third-party to acquire control of us, even if a change in control
would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our Board of Directors has the
power, without stockholders approval, to designate the terms of one or more series of preferred
stock and issue shares of preferred stock, which could be used defensively if a takeover is
threatened. All options issued under our stock option plans automatically vest upon a change in
control unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee. In addition, several of our
executive officers have employment agreements that provide for significant payments on a change in
control. These factors and provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could impede a
merger, takeover or other business combination involving us or discourage a potential acquirer from
making a tender offer for our common stock or reduce our ability to achieve a premium in such sale,
which could limit the market value of our common stock and prevent you from maximizing the return
on your investment.
Shares of our common stock eligible for public sale could cause the market price of our stock
to drop, even if our business is doing well
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the
perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price for our common
stock. As of July 30, 2005, there were 8,366,547 shares of our common stock outstanding. Of our
currently outstanding shares of common stock, 5,060,507 shares are freely tradable without
restriction or further registration under federal securities laws, including 40,113 shares held by
our affiliates which are registered for resale on a Form S-8. The remaining 3,286,436 shares are
held by our affiliates or were issued in a private placement and are considered restricted or
control
29
securities and are subject to the trading restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. These securities cannot be sold unless they are registered
under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. We also
have in effect registration statements on Form S-8 covering 1,500,000 shares of common stock, under
our 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan, 1,331,398 shares of which are subject to previously granted
options and the remainder of which are available for future awards under that plan.
Our principal stockholders, James Riedman and Riedman Corporation, who beneficially own in the
aggregate 2,244,963 shares of our common stock and vested options to acquire an additional 560,084
shares, have demand registration rights covering 1,152,710 of the shares they beneficially own. In
connection with our recent Altama acquisition, we entered into a registration rights agreement with
Altamas sole shareholder for 196,967 shares issued in a private placement to him in connection
with the acquisition. The registration rights agreement grants to Altamas sole shareholder,
subject to certain conditions, one demand registration exercisable between 180 days and three years
after the acquisition closing and unlimited piggyback registration rights for registration
statements we file with the SEC during the three years following the closing except in limited
circumstances. We also granted registration rights to Chambers Belt as part of the acquisition
covering the 374,462 shares and any additional shares issued to Chambers Belt as part of the
earnout consideration under the terms of the acquisition. The agreement provides one demand
registration right per year for three years and unlimited piggyback registration rights for three
years, subject to certain exceptions.
Significant resales of these shares could cause the market price of our common stock to
decline regardless of the performance of our business. These sales also might make it difficult for
us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
Our stock price has fluctuated significantly during the past 12 months and may continue to do
so in the future, which could result in litigation against us and significant losses for investors
Our stock price has fluctuated significantly during the past 12 months and in the future may
continue to do so. A number of factors could cause our stock price to continue to fluctuate,
including the following:
|
|
the failure of our quarterly operating results or those of similarly situated companies to
meet expectations; |
|
|
|
adverse developments in the footwear or apparel markets and the worldwide economy; |
|
|
|
changes in interest rates; |
|
|
|
our failure to meet investors expectations; |
|
|
|
changes in accounting principles; |
|
|
|
sales of common stock by existing stockholders or holders of options; |
|
|
|
announcements of key developments by our competitors; |
|
|
|
the reaction of markets to announcements and developments involving our company, including
future acquisitions and related financing activities; and |
|
|
|
natural disasters, riots, wars, geopolitical events or other developments affecting us or
our competitors. |
In addition, in recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market prices of securities
issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance.
These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our
operating results. In the past, securities class action litigation often has been brought against a
company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future
be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and
liabilities and could divert managements attention and resources.
30
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors can arise
and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the
impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination
of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements.
Investors should also be aware that while we do, from time to time, communicate with
securities analysts, it is against our policy to disclose to them any material non-public
information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, investors should not assume
that we agree with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the
statement or report.
Furthermore, we have a policy against issuing or confirming financial forecasts or projections
issued by others. Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain any
projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are not the responsibility of the Company.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our revolver and long-term
debt under our credit facility, which we use to maintain liquidity and to fund capital expenditures
and expansion. Our market risk exposure with respect to this debt is to changes in the prime rate
in the U.S. and changes in LIBOR. Our revolver and our term loans provide for interest on
outstanding borrowings at rates tied to the prime rate or, at our election, tied to LIBOR. At
January 1, 2005 and July 2, 2005, we had $26.6 million and $48.7 million, respectively, in
outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. A 1.0% increase in interest rates on our current
borrowings would have had a $487,000 impact on income before income taxes. We do not have any
foreign currency risk. We do not enter into any of these transactions for speculative purposes.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision of the Companys management, including the
Chief Executive Officer or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer or CFO, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined in Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e),) as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Companys management, including the
CEO and CFO, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information we
are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in
the Companys periodic reports. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system
of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the
circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure
controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their
control objectives.
There has been no change in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that
occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.

Part II Other Information
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
(a) On
June 28, 2005, the Company issued 374,462 shares of common stock
valued at $2.0 million to Chambers Belt Company as partial
consideration for the acquisition of the assets of that company. No
underwriters were involved. The securities were issued in reliance
upon the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act. The Company relied upon this exemption based upon
the fact that there was a single purchaser, the provision of financial
and other information concerning the Company to the purchaser, the
investment representations made by the purchaser, the lack of
general solicitation, and actions taken by the Company to restrict
resale of the securities without registration, including the
placement of restrictive legends on the share certificate.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
We held our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 18, 2005. At the meeting, the following
nominees were elected as directors to hold office until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be
held in 2006, and until his successor is elected and shall qualify:
