Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year due to the seasonality of our business, as well as the acquisition of Johnny Was during the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2022. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant accounting policies applied during the interim periods presented are consistent with the significant accounting policies described in our Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K. No recently issued guidance adopted in Fiscal 2022 had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption or is expected to have a material impact in future periods. On September 19, 2022, we acquired the Johnny Was® lifestyle apparel brand and its related assets and operations, which is discussed in further detail in Note 7 of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Also, in Fiscal 2021, we exited our Lanier Apparel business, as discussed in Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements of our Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K. Johnny Was in Fiscal 2022 and Lanier Apparel in Fiscal 2021 are each disclosed as separate operating groups in Note 2 of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Applicable to Future Periods Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption are either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Recent Macroeconomic Conditions The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant effect on overall economic conditions and our operations in recent years. In Fiscal 2021, the economic environment improved significantly with a rebound in retail traffic starting in March 2021 and other improvements as the year progressed, although certain stores were closed for portions of Fiscal 2021, particularly in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2021. This exceptionally strong consumer demand, along with the strength of our brands, resulted in record earnings for us during Fiscal 2021 and the First Nine Months of Fiscal 2022. The strong earnings in recent periods are despite certain challenges in the retail apparel market, including labor shortages, supply chain disruptions and product and operating cost increases in Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022. We, as well as others in our industry, have increased prices to attempt to offset inflationary pressures. There can be no assurance that the strong consumer demand of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022 will continue for our business or the broader retail apparel market. There remains significant uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment as to the impact of changing consumer discretionary spending habits, recent supply chain and other business disruptions, ongoing operating cost increases and other inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, the duration and severity of the pandemic and general economic conditions. Thus, the ultimate impact of these items on our business remains uncertain at this time.
