NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of K-Swiss Inc. (the "Company") as of March 31, 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in combination with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999. 2. The federal income tax returns of the Company for the years ended 1990, 1991 and 1992 are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). In May 1998, the IRS issued its final report proposing additional taxes of an aggregate of approximately $1,561,000 plus penalties and interest for these years. The Company is protesting the IRS assessment. Also, the federal income tax returns of the Company for the years ended 1993, 1995 and 1996 are currently under examination by the IRS. The IRS has issued a preliminary examination report covering the 1993 fiscal year proposing adjustments to income of approximately $3,426,000 for this year. Although no assurance can be given regarding the outcome of such examinations, the Company believes that any taxes which might become payable as a result of these examinations would not result in additional expense recognized in the financial statements other than interest and penalties, if any, as the Company has recorded deferred income taxes on the untaxed portion of unremitted earnings of a foreign subsidiary. Therefore, management believes that resolution of the IRS examinations should not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations. 3.

Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate, or imply future results, performance, or achievements, and may contain the words "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "project", "will be", "will continue", "will likely result", or any variations of such words with similar meaning. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. Investors should carefully review the risk factors set forth in other reports or documents the Company files with the S.E.C., including Forms 10-Q, 10-K and 8-K. Some of the other risks and uncertainties that should be considered include, but are not limited to, the following: international, national and local general economic and market conditions (including the current Asian economic situation); the size and growth of the overall athletic footwear and apparel markets; the size of the Company's competitors; intense competition among designers, marketers, distributors and sellers of athletic footwear and apparel for consumers and endorsers; market acceptance of the Company's new training shoe line; demographic changes; changes in consumer preferences; popularity of particular designs, categories of products, and sports; seasonal and geographic demand for the Company's products; the size, timing and mix of purchases of the Company's products; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results, including, without limitation, the fact that advance "futures" orders may not be indicative of future revenues due to the changing mix of futures and at-once orders; the ability of the Company to continue, manage or forecast its growth and inventories; new product development and commercialization; the ability to secure and protect trademarks, patents, and other intellectual property; performance and reliability of products; customer service; adverse publicity; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; dependence on distributors; business disruptions; increased costs of freight and transportation to meet delivery deadlines; changes in business strategy or development plans; general risks associated with doing business outside the United States, including, without limitation, import duties, tariffs, quotas and political and economic instability; changes in government regulations; liability and other claims asserted against the Company; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and other factors referenced or incorporated by reference in this report and other reports. The Company operates 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 the Company's 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 as a prediction of actual results. Investors should also be aware that while the Company does, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against the Company's policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, investors should not assume that the Company agrees with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Furthermore, the Company has a policy against issuing or confirming financial forecasts or projections issued by others. Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts or others contain any projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are not the responsibility of the Company. 7 Results of Operations The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage of certain items in the consolidated statements of earnings relative to revenues. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, --------------- 2000 1999 ---- ---- Revenues 100.0% 100.0% Cost of goods sold 62.2 56.7 Gross profit 37.8 43.3 Selling, general and administrative expenses 21.7 18.8 Interest income, net 1.0 0.3 Earnings before income taxes 17.1 24.8 Income tax expense 6.8 9.8 Net earnings 10.3 15.0 Revenues decreased to $71,458,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $88,577,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of $17,119,000 or 19.3%. This decrease resulted primarily from an decrease in the volume of footwear sold to approximately 2,638,000 pair for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from approximately 3,192,000 pair for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Also, the average wholesale price per pair decreased to $25.83 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $26.26 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The decrease in the volume of footwear sold was primarily the result of decreased sales of the Classic, children's and tennis/court categories of shoes of 20.2%, 18.4% and 29.3%, respectively, partially offset by sales of the training category, a new category for the Company. The average wholesale price per pair decreased primarily due to close-out sales, which carry a lower average price per pair. The overall decline in sales was due to a difficult retail environment during the first quarter of 2000. Domestic revenues decreased 21.4% to $63,633,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $80,987,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. International revenues increased 3.1% to $7,825,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $7,590,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. International revenues, as a percentage of total revenues, increased to 11.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from 8.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Gross profit margins, as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 37.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, from 43.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Gross profit margins decreased primarily due to close-out sales, which carry lower margins. In addition gross profit margins also decreased due to changes in the geographic and product mix of sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $15,528,000 (21.7% of revenues) for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $16,625,000 (18.8% of revenues) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of $1,097,000 or 6.6%. The decreases in these expenses were primarily the result of reductions of employee incentive bonus system accruals due to diminished financial performance in the first quarter of 2000 compared to the first quarter of 1999, partially offset by increases in advertising costs due to an earlier start of the current year television campaign. Net interest income was $716,000 (1.0% of revenues) for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $273,000 (0.3% of revenues) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, an increase of $443,000 or 162.3%. This increase in net interest income was the result of higher average balances and higher average interest rates. The Company's effective tax rate increased to 39.9% of earnings before income tax from 39.7% for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net earnings decreased 44.8% to $7,337,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $13,286,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. At March 31, 2000 and 1999, domestic futures orders with start ship dates from April through September 2000 and 1999 were approximately $82,184,000 and $135,066,000, respectively, a decrease of 39.2%. At March 31, 2000 and 1999, international futures orders with start ship dates from April through September 2000 and 1999 were approximately 8 $7,579,000 and $7,012,000, respectively, an increase of 8.1%. At March 31, 2000 and 1999 total futures orders with start ship dates from April 2000 and 1999 through September 2000 and 1999 were approximately $89,763,000 and $142,078,000, respectively, a decrease of 36.8%. The 36.8% decrease in total futures orders is comprised of a 27.0% decrease in the second quarter 2000 futures orders and a 44.5% decrease in the third quarter 2000 futures orders. "Backlog", as of any date, represents orders scheduled to be shipped within the next six months. Backlog does not include orders scheduled to be shipped on or prior to the date of determination of backlog. These orders are not necessarily indicative of revenues for subsequent periods because: (1) the mix of "futures" and "at-once" orders can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year and (2) the rate of customer order cancellations can also vary from quarter to quarter and year to year. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company experienced a net cash inflow of approximately $9,453,000 compared to a net cash outflow of approximately $13,923,000 from its operating activities for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash provided by operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased from the quarter ended March 31, 1999 primarily due to changes in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in net earnings. The Company had a net outflow of cash from its investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 primarily due to the purchase of property, plant and equipment. The Company had a net outflow of cash from its financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 primarily due to the purchase of treasury stock and the payment of dividends, partially offset by increases in net borrowings under bank lines of credit. On October 8, 1999, the Company announced the completion of its April 1998 $20 million stock repurchase program and a new authorization by the Board of Directors for the Company to repurchase through December 2003 up to an additional $25 million of its Class A Common Stock from time to time on the open market, as market conditions warrant. The Company adopted this program because it believes repurchasing its shares can be a good use of excess cash depending on the Company's array of alternatives. Currently, the Company has made purchases under all stock repurchase programs from August 1996 through April 19, 2000 (the day prior to the filing of this Form 10-Q) of 3,641,432 shares at an aggregate cost totaling approximately $41,347,000. No other material capital commitments exist at March 31, 2000. Depending on the Company's future growth rate, funds may be required by operating activities. With continued use of its revolving credit facility and internally generated funds, the Company believes its present and currently anticipated sources of capital are sufficient to sustain its anticipated capital needs for the remainder of 2000. The Company's working capital increased $3,157,000 to $116,945,000 at March 31, 2000 from $113,788,000 at December 31, 1999. 9 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1: Legal Proceedings. ----------------- None.
