NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Accounting Principles
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In addition, we recorded noncash charges in fiscal 2009 ($7.5 million inventory write-down; $1.2 million provision for doubtful accounts receivable) and fiscal 2008 ($18.7 million inventory write-down; $17.8 million goodwill and other intangibles impairment).
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates that affect the reported value of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for our conclusions. We continually evaluate the information used to make these estimates as the business and economic environment changes. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Such differences could have a material impact on our future financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Historically our first and second quarter sales and operating results reflect a seasonal increase compared to the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. However, sales for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008 were not consistent with historical patterns due to the very difficult retail environment in both years and curtailed replenishment orders by one of our largest customers in fiscal 2008. Operating results for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2009.
Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” (“SFAS 159”) permits choosing to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. We have not elected to measure any assets or liabilities at fair value which were not being so measured prior to our adopting SFAS 159 on July 1, 2008.
Effective July 1, 2008, we adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS 157”) issued by the FASB in September 2006, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance for carrying instruments at fair value. FASB Staff Position No. 157-2 issued in February 2008 allows us to delay application of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities until the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
Note 3 — Inventory Write-Down And Restructuring Charges
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009 following an organizational restructuring plan announcement, our chief executive officer, who joined the Company in October 2008, and other recently-employed senior executives concluded the Company and our stockholders would be better served by allocating our resources to products with higher margins and larger shipping quantities. As a result of this focus, management determined to implement a new inventory life-cycle management program and move away from low margin products with either small shipping quantities or slow turn-over rates. To facilitate implementation of an aggressive inventory life-cycle management program, we decided to liquidate inventories requiring excessive resources by reducing selling prices or scrapping items which might be difficult to sell under current market conditions. Consequently, we recorded an $7.5 million noncash inventory write-down in March 2009. The inventory write-down reflects our best estimate of the market values we anticipate realizing based on our experiences selling through inventory liquidation channels. Actual amounts realized from the marked-down inventory may differ from our estimates and such differences could have a material impact on our future results of operations, cash flows, and financial position. In connection with the organizational restructuring plan, we recorded charges in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 for termination payments ($558,000) and other costs ($286,000).

Note 4 — Business Segments And Related Information
     We sell our products through all major retail distribution channels throughout North America, including mass merchants, national chain stores, department stores, men’s and women’s specialty stores, catalog retailers, grocery stores, drug stores, golf pro shops, sporting goods stores, and the retail exchange operations of the United States military. We and our corresponding customer relationships are organized along men’s and women’s product lines. As a result we have two reportable segments: (1) men’s accessories, consisting of belts, gifts, wallets and other small leather goods, suspenders, and sporting goods; and (2) women’s accessories, consisting of belts, small leather goods, and gifts. General corporate expenses and depreciation and amortization related to assets recorded in our corporate accounting records are allocated to each segment based on the respective segment’s asset base. Management measures each segment based upon income or loss before income taxes utilizing accounting policies consistent in all material respects with those described in Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our 2008 Annual Report of Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. No inter-segment revenue is recorded.

Note 5 — Credit Arrangements
We have a $27.5 million credit facility for borrowings and letters of credit based on accounts receivable and inventory levels. The facility was amended effective March 31, 2009 in consideration for payment of a $100,000 fee because we did not meet the tangible net worth financial ratio at that date due to the net loss for the quarter. The amendment reduced the facility from $35 million, lowered the tangible net worth financial ratio to $33.5 million as adjusted quarterly for future earnings and issuance of equity ownership interests, and increased the interest rate to the daily adjusting one-month LIBOR rate plus 4.5% or, if such rate is not available under the terms of the credit facility note, the lender’s prime rate plus 4.5%.
At March 31, 2009 we had outstanding borrowings under the amended credit facility of $0.5 million bearing interest at 5.5%, outstanding letters of credit totaling $0.5 million, and $19.2 million borrowing availability. Borrowings under the facility are due on the facility’s expiration date in February 2010.
The credit facility is guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries. It requires the maintenance of a tangible net worth financial ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter which, if not met, could adversely impact our liquidity. The facility contains customary representations and warranties and we have agreed to certain affirmative covenants, including reporting requirements. The facility also limits our ability to engage in certain actions without the lender’s consent, including, repurchasing our common stock, entering into certain mergers or consolidations, guaranteeing or incurring certain debt, engaging in certain stock or asset acquisitions, paying dividends, making certain investments in other entities, prepaying debt, and making certain property transfers.
Our Canadian subsidiary has a CAD $1 million credit facility (direct advances limited to US $830,000) secured by its cash, credit balances, and deposit instruments with interest at the lender’s prime or US base rates. There have been no borrowings under this line of credit.
Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements
The only account we measure at fair value is the rabbi trust established to set aside amounts to assist in satisfying our supplemental executive retirement obligation included in other current liabilities at March 31, 2009. The trust’s assets in other current assets at March 31, 2009 and other long-term assets at June 30, 2008 include investments at March 31, 2009 of $491,000 measured at their quoted prices in active markets (SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy Level 1) and $1,046,000 measured by observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar investments and market-corroborated inputs (SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy Level 2).

Note 8 — Long-Term Incentive Award
Performance units payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of our common stock following the end of the performance cycle were awarded during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The units earned during the performance cycle vary from 0% to 200% of the units awarded based on the Company’s basic earnings per share for each of the three fiscal years ending June 30, 2011, excluding the effects of accounting principles changes, extraordinary items, recognized capital gains and losses, and one-time, non-operating items as determined by our board of directors. Employees vest in 200% of the units awarded if there is a change in control or in the portion of units earned equal to the years employed during the cycle upon death, disability, or normal (age 65) or early (age 55 and 15 years service) retirement; otherwise, units cliff vest at the end of the cycle.
Each unit has a $1.00 assigned value and the fair value of the Company’s stock to be issued is $1.9201 per share based on its grant-date market price and assuming no dividends during the performance cycle. Based on a 200% achievement target for each year, 1,260,000 units were awarded and are outstanding at March 31, 2009 (which would be payable in cash of $630,000 and 328,108 shares of common stock) and 563,333 units are vested or are expected to vest (which would be payable in cash of $281,666 and 146,694 shares of common stock). Compensation expense is adjusted for changes in the earnings per share achieved, or expected to be achieved, and the number of units expected to vest. The $518,000 estimated future expense at March 31, 2009 is being amortized using the straight-line method to the end of the performance cycle.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Item 2 should be read in the context of the information included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
BUSINESS
We are a leading designer and marketer of branded men’s, women’s and children’s accessories, including belts, small leather goods, and gift accessories. Our product line also includes handbags and sporting goods. Our merchandise is marketed under a broad portfolio of nationally recognized licensed and proprietary brand names, including DOCKERS®, TOTES®, ROLFS®, WOOLRICH®, CANTERBURY®, PRINCE GARDNER®, PRINCESS GARDNER®, AMITY®, COLETTA®, STAGG®, ACCESSORY DESIGN GROUP®, TIGER®, ETON®, SURPLUS®, and EILEEN WEST™, as well as private brands for major retail customers. We sell our products through all major retail distribution channels throughout North America, including mass merchants, national chain stores, department stores, men’s and women’s specialty stores, catalog retailers, grocery stores, drug stores, golf pro shops, sporting goods stores, and the retail exchange operations of the United States military.
Business development announcements in 2009 include:
    January 20 — An organizational restructuring plan with more than $3 million in anticipated annualized savings designed to focus our product development efforts, build critical capabilities, increase flexibility to better serve our retail partners’ needs, and reduce operating expenses.
 
    March 31 — Formation of a new Eyewear Division which will expand our presence into the emerging reading glasses category with shipping expected to commence in early fiscal 2010.
 
    April 23 — Signing of a definitive agreement to purchase certain strategic assets from Chambers Belt Company with closing expected by July 1, 2009.
The overall negative retail environment and general economic conditions which the global economy began to experience over a year ago showed signs of modest improvement in the last three months, but there seems to be little consensus on when there will be a full-blown turnaround. Like most companies in the retail industry, our net sales, and resulting profitability, have been severely impacted beginning in fiscal 2008 and, across the board, our customers have indicated they are taking a very conservative approach toward replenishing inventory in this environment. We are making the necessary adjustments internally to respond to these measures, and we continue to work closely with our retail partners to develop products and programs to help them through these difficult times.
Our operating results for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 were not only affected by lower net sales, but also the need to recognize that $1.2 million of accounts receivable may not be collectible due to bankruptcy filings by several of our customers. These customers accounted for approximately 8.7% and 11.4% of our net sales in the first half of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively. Our fiscal 2009 third quarter was also negatively impacted by an $7.5 million inventory write-down described in Note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the organizational restructuring plan, we recorded charges in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 for termination payments relating to an approximately 17% salaried employee headcount reduction ($558,000) and other costs ($286,000).

Total
    6.7       38.8       28.7       19.2  
Net sales were lower this year (quarter — $5.0 million; nine months — $16.5 million) as the difficult retail environment, which began to affect our sales over a year and a half ago, continued to adversely impact our operations. Fewer belt sales to our largest customer accounted for most of the lower men’s accessories sales in the third quarter this year and almost half of the lower sales for the fiscal 2009 nine-month period. Men’s belt sales to other customers for the nine months this year were $3.4 million less than the fiscal 2008 period. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, sales of men’s and women’s small leather goods were $4.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively, lower than the same period last year. The men’s accessories sales decline in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was offset by lower discounts and allowances for returns approximating $7.4 million primarily for our gift products.
Overall gross margins in fiscal 2009 generally were lower as the result of lower sales and a $7.5 million inventory write-down. The fiscal 2008 nine-month gross margin percentage was negatively impacted by 15.7 percentage points due to an $18.7 million inventory write-down in the second quarter of that year. The fiscal 2009 three- and nine-month margin percentages include 29.9 and 7.3, respectively, percentage point effects of the inventory write-down and benefited by more than 1.5 percentage points in each period from sales of inventory at prices exceeding the previously reduced carrying values.
Our men’s accessories segment fiscal 2009 third-quarter and nine-month margins compared to fiscal 2008 improved by 2.2 and 1.7 percentage points, respectively, as we incurred lower product costs from overseas suppliers. The margin percentages for the third-quarter and nine-months include 26.9 and 6.4 percentage point effects, respectively, from a $5.1 million inventory write-down and a 1.6 percentage point benefit in each period from sales of inventory which had previously been written-down. The fiscal 2008 nine-month margin percentage was negatively impacted by 10.2 percentage points due to a $9.6 million inventory write-down in the second quarter of that year.
The women’s accessories segment margins compared to fiscal 2008 were 25.7 and 9.9 percentage points lower in the fiscal 2009 three- and nine-month periods, respectively, due to our retail partners’ reluctance to offer product at higher prices and increased product costs. The margin percentages for the fiscal 2009 third quarter and nine months include 39.4 and 10.5 percentage point effects, respectively, of a $2.4 million inventory write-down and a benefit from sales of inventory which had previously been written-down of 2.7 percentage points in each period. The nine-month margin percentage for fiscal 2008 was negatively impacted by 36.6 percentage points due to a $9.1 million inventory write-down in the second quarter of that year.

Interest expense
  $ 140     $ 177     $ 508     $ 1,287  
 
                       
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 were slightly greater than the fiscal 2008 period as distribution cost reductions were offset by higher employment expenses and a provision for doubtful accounts receivable versus a bad debt recovery in fiscal 2008. For the first nine months of fiscal 2009, SG&A expenses included a $1.2 million provision for doubtful accounts receivable while other selling and marketing costs were $4.6 million less than the prior year nine-month period. The major fiscal 2009 year-to-date SG&A expense reductions compared to fiscal 2008 were derived from lower employment expenses in the first two quarters ($1.0 million), resulting from workforce reductions, and reduced distribution costs ($2.0 million), including the benefit of closing our men’s accessories distribution facility in West Bend, Wisconsin in the second half of fiscal 2008.
Depreciation and amortization was lower this year primarily as the result of equipment and software reaching the end of their estimated depreciable lives while the first half of fiscal 2008 included $316,000 attributable to the West Bend facility which was closed and customer lists which were written off.
Interest expense in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2009, excluding a $33,000 write-off of previously capitalized costs due to amending our current credit facility, was 40% and 48%, respectively, less than the expense in the same periods of fiscal 2008 as both our borrowings and the interest rates were lower in the current year. The first half of fiscal 2008 interest expense included $372,000 related to a debt covenant waiver and the write-off of costs previously capitalized in connection with a credit facility which was refinanced.
Information about our income taxes is incorporated herein by reference to Note 7 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
SEASONALITY
Historically our first and second quarter sales and operating results reflect a seasonal increase compared to the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. However, sales for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008 were not consistent with historical patterns due to the very difficult retail environment in both years and curtailed replenishment orders by one of our largest customers in fiscal 2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity, which we believe will provide adequate financial resources for our foreseeable working capital needs, are cash flows from operating activities and our credit facilities ($20 million borrowing availability at March 31, 2009). Information about our credit facilities is incorporated herein by reference to Note 5 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Operating cash flows for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 were $1.7 million as accounts receivable and inventories decreased from their levels at June 30, 2008 by $3.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, exclusive of the provision for doubtful accounts and inventory write-down. The lower decreases in receivables and inventories were primarily due to lower sales in fiscal 2009 than in fiscal 2008. Also contributing to the fiscal 2009 operating

Table of Contents

cash flow was a $1.2 million tax refund included in other current assets at June 30, 2008. Of those cash flows, $4.4 million was used to reduce accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Investing activities included nominal amounts of capital expenditures in both years and $1.1 million funding in fiscal 2009 of the rabbi trust established to set aside amounts to assist in satisfying our supplemental executive retirement obligation. Financing activities included the payment of dividends (2009 — $564,000; 2008 — $832,000) and stock purchase program transactions (2009 — $145,000 net cash distributions in lieu of issuing shares as the result of the program being suspended; 2008 — $642,000 net contributions). Small net borrowings in fiscal 2009 offset some of the cash outflows while the greater cash inflows in fiscal 2008 permitted a net borrowing reduction in the first nine months.
In light of the ongoing decline in economic conditions, we suspended the payment of quarterly dividends in December 2008 in an effort to preserve capital and enhance our financial flexibility for investing in key growth initiatives as we implement our organizational restructuring plan. The dividend suspension will be reassessed on an ongoing basis. During fiscal 2009 we declared the following cash dividend:

ITEM 5 — OTHER INFORMATION
On October 1, 2008, we announced that N. Roderick McGeachy, III had been appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer of our Company. Mr. McGeachy succeeded J.S.B. Jenkins, who had served as President and Chief Executive Officer of our Company since 1990. To facilitate the transition between Mr. Jenkins and Mr. McGeachy, Mr. Jenkins agreed to continue as an employee of our Company for a reasonable transition period. To that end, Mr. Jenkins retired as Chairman of the Board and as a member of our Board of Directors, effective as of May 12, 2009, and will retire as an employee of our Company, effective as of June 30, 2009.
Because Mr. Jenkins holds valuable knowledge, experience and relationships with respect to the Company and the Company’s customers, industry and business, effective as of May 8, 2009, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Mr. Jenkins (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which, Mr. Jenkins will provide consulting services to us over the next three years, beginning July 1, 2009. Under the Agreement, we will pay Mr. Jenkins an amount equal to $400,000 per year for each year during the term of the Agreement. Mr. Jenkins agreed that, during the term of the Agreement, he will not compete, carry on or engage in a business similar to our business, solicit or accept business from any of our customers, and/or solicit or encourage any of our employees to leave the employ of our Company. Mr. Jenkins also agreed to waive and release any and all claims that he may have against us and agreed to standard terms, including, without limitation, confidentiality, non-disparagement and indemnification provisions.
The Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.8 to this Quarterly Report. The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document.
