-7- Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations Net sales for the three months ended October 31, 1996 were $65.3 million compared to $57.7 million for the same period last year. For the nine months ended October 31, 1996, net sales were $96.6 million compared to $103.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net sales during the three month period was primarily due to sales of Kenneth Cole licensed product ($5.0 million), increased volume in the Sports Licensing division ($5.8 million) and Men's division ($6.1 million) offset in part by reduced sales of moderately priced women's outerwear ($9.5 million). The decrease in net sales during the nine month period was primarily due to a reduction in sales of moderately priced women's outerwear offset in part by increases in sales of Kenneth Cole, Sports Licensing and Men's product. Gross profit was $16.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 1996, compared to $12.2 million in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 25.0% for the three months ended October 31, 1996, compared to 21.2% for the same period last year. For the nine month period ended October 31, 1996, gross profit was $25.7 million, or 26.6% of net sales, compared to $22.5 million, or 21.8% of net sales for the same period last year. The increase in the gross profit percentage was a result of improved margins in several product lines and an increase in sales of branded product and sports licensing product which have higher margins. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $6.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 1996 were approximately $400,000 more than in the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 9.4% in this period compared to 10.0% last year. For the nine month period ended October 31, 1996, selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.2 million, or 17.8% of net sales, compared to $16.6 million, or 16.1% of net sales for the same period last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased compared to last year primarily as the result of start-up costs relating to new product development in branded merchandise, which includes licensed product under the Kenneth Cole label, as well as development of new distribution channels which more than offset reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from the consolidation of the Company's two distribution centers into one location in January 1996 and certain personnel reductions. The Company continues to monitor and seeks to reduce expense levels whenever appropriate. -8- Interest expense of $919,000 was $66,000 higher in the quarter ended October 31, 1996, compared to $853,000 in the same period last year. For the nine months ended October 31, 1996, interest expense was $1,624,000, a decrease of $627,000 from the prior year. Due to lower inventory levels, the Company was debt-free on its domestic borrowing agreement from December 22, 1995 until May 9, 1996. This resulted in lower interest costs for the nine month period than in the prior year when the Company was continuously in a domestic borrowing position. Income taxes of $3.7 million reflect an effective tax rate of 40.0% for the three months ended October 31, 1996, compared to income taxes of $2.2 million (effective tax rate of 40.0%) in the comparable period in the prior year. For the nine months ended October 31, 1996, the income tax of $2.7 million reflects an effective tax rate of 40.0%, compared to income taxes of $1.6 million in the same period last year. As a result of the foregoing, for the three month period ended October 31, 1996, the Company had net income of $5.6 million, or $.83 per share, compared to a net income of $3.4 million, or $.50 per share, for the comparable period in the prior year. For the nine month period ended October 31, 1996, the Company had a net income of $4.1 million, or $.61 per share, compared to a net income of $2.0 million, or $.31 per share, for the same period in the prior year. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has a loan agreement, which expires May 31, 1997, providing for a collateralized working capital line of credit for a maximum amount of $48 million through October 30, 1996 (reduced to $40 million commencing October 31, 1996), of which a maximum of $40 million (reduced to $30 million commencing October 31, 1996) is available for direct borrowings and the unused balance for letters of credit. All amounts available for borrowings are subject to borrowing base formulas and overadvances specified in the agreement. Direct borrowings bear interest at the agent's prime rate (8.25% as of December 1, 1996) plus 1.75%. All borrowings are collateralized by the assets of the Company. The loan agreement requires the Company, among other covenants, to maintain certain earnings and tangible net worth levels, and prohibits the payments of cash dividends. As of October 31, 1996, there was $20.6 million of borrowings outstanding and approximately $9.0 million of contingent liability under open letters of credit. The amount borrowed under the line of credit varies based on the Company's seasonal requirements. The Company's wholly-owned Indonesian subsidiary has a line of credit with a bank for approximately $3.5 million which is supported by a $2.0 million stand-by letter of credit issued under the Company's loan agreement. As of October 31, 1996, the borrowing by the Indonesian subsidiary under its line of credit approximated $2.9 million. -9- SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
