-6- Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 1996 were $5.1 million compared to $9.3 million for the same period last year. The decrease in net sales during the quarter was primarily due to lower sales in the JL Colebrook ($2.5 million) and Womens Leather ($1.5 million) divisions. These declines resulted from weakness in retail sales of outerwear apparel. The Company expects that the softness in the outerwear apparel market will continue to adversely affect sales in the quarter ending July 31, 1996. Gross profit was $152,000 for the quarter ended April 30, 1996, compared to $663,000 in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 3.0% for the three months ended April 30, 1996, compared to 7.1% for the same period last year. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was a result of certain period costs included in cost of goods sold being spread over lower net sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $5.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 1996 were approximately $345,000 more than in the same period last year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses compared to last year resulted from 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. These increases were partially offset by savings resulting from the sub-lease of a warehouse in March, 1996. The Company continues to monitor and seeks to reduce expense levels whenever possible. For the three months ended April 30, 1996, interest and financing charges was $212,000, a decrease of $194,000 from the same period of the prior year. The decrease is attributable to lower borrowing levels as a result of the Company maintaining lower levels of inventory. Income tax benefit of $2.3 million reflects an effective tax rate of 40% for the three months ended April 30, 1996, compared to an income tax benefit of $2.0 million which reflected the same effective tax rate of 40% in the comparable period of the prior year. As a result of the foregoing, for the three month period ended April 30, 1996, the Company had a net loss of $3.4 million, or $.53 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.0 million, or $.47 per share, for the comparable period in the prior year. -7- 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 June 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 payment of cash dividends. As of April 30, 1996, there were no direct borrowings outstanding and approximately $11.1 million of contingent liability under open letters of credit. The amount borrowed under the line of credit varies based upon 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 April 30, 1996, the borrowing by the Indonesian subsidiary under its line of credit approximated $3.4 million. -8- 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.
