NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Perry Ellis International, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Perry Ellis” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2010.

The information presented reflects all adjustments, which are in the opinion of management of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated statement of cash flow for the three months ended May 2, 2009 has been restated to correct the presentation of net income. The Company had previously presented net income attributable to Perry Ellis International, Inc. and included a reconciling item to add back loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. This change in the presentation has no impact on net cash provided by operating activities or net decrease in cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended May 2, 2009.

2.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (now part of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860). The objective of this standard is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. This standard is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of this standard are to be applied to transfers that occur on or after the effective date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” (now part of ASC 810). This standard amends FASB Interpretation 46(R) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether an enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity by replacing the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the entity. This standard also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This standard is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)—Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” ASU No. 2009-13 eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and expands the disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU No. 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 will not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding transfers in and out of the Level 1 and 2 and activity within Level 3 fair value measurements and clarifies existing disclosures of inputs and valuation techniques for Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 also includes conforming amendments to employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure of activity within Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those years. The adoption of this standard, except for the disclosure of activity within Level 3 fair value measurements, did not have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. The Company has not completed its assessment of the impact, if any, that the disclosure of activity within Level 3 fair value measurements will have on its financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855)—Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.” ASU 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement that an SEC filer disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASC 2010-09 was effective upon issuance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

7.	NET INCOME PER SHARE ATTRIBUTED TO PERRY ELLIS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Basic net income per share attributed to Perry Ellis International, Inc. is computed by dividing net income attributed to Perry Ellis International, Inc. by the weighted average shares of outstanding common stock.

9.	REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES

The Company’s main administrative office, warehouse and distribution facility is a 240,000 square foot facility in Miami, Florida. The facility was partially financed with an $11.6 million real estate mortgage loan. The real estate mortgage contains certain covenants and as of May 1, 2010, the Company is not aware of any non-compliance with any of these covenants. The interest rate is fixed at 7.123%. In August 2008, the Company executed a maturity extension of the real estate mortgage loan until July 1, 2010. At May 1, 2010, the balance of the real estate mortgage loan totaled $10.7 million, of which the entire balance is reflected as a current liability since it is due within one year. The Company expects to refinance the real estate mortgage during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

In June 2006, the Company entered into a mortgage loan for $15 million secured by its Tampa facility. The loan is due on June 7, 2016. Principal and interest of $297,000 are due quarterly based on a 20 year amortization with the outstanding principal due at maturity. Interest is set at 6.25% for the first five years, at which point it will be reset based on the terms and conditions of the promissory note. At May 1, 2010, the balance of the real estate mortgage loan totaled $14.1 million, of which $352,000 is due within one year.

10.

DERIVATIVES

In August 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $75 million in order to reduce the debt servicing costs associated with its $150 million 8 7/8% senior subordinated notes. The Swap Agreement is scheduled to terminate on September 15, 2013. Under the Swap Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a fixed rate of 8 7/8% and is obligated to make semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate plus 632 basis points for the period through September 15, 2013. The Swap Agreement has an optional call provision that allows the counterparty to settle the

Swap Agreement at any time with 30 days notice and subject to declining termination premium payments from the counterparty in the event the call is exercised. The Swap Agreement is a fair value hedge as it has been designated against the 8 7/8% senior subordinated notes carrying a fixed rate of interest and converts the fixed interest payments to variable interest payments.

The location and amount of gains (losses) on derivative instruments and related hedged items reported in the consolidated statements of operations were as follows:


	Location of Gain (Loss)	Three Months Ended
Fair Value Hedging Relationship	Recognized in Income	May 1, 2010			May 2, 2009
		(in thousands)
Derivative : Swap Agreement	Interest expense	$	642		$	—
Hedged item: Fixed rate debt	Interest expense		(21	)		—


Total (1)		$	621		$	—

(1)	Includes $232,000 for the three months ended May 1, 2010, related to the ineffectiveness of the hedging relationship.

In August 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement (the “$75 million Cap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $75 million associated with the senior subordinated notes. The $75 million Cap Agreement is scheduled to become effective on December 15, 2010 and terminate on September 15, 2013. The $75 million Cap Agreement is being used to manage cash flow risk associated with the Company’s floating interest rate exposure pursuant to the Swap Agreement. The $75 million Cap Agreement limits the maximum interest rate on $75 million of the senior subordinated notes to 9.32%. The $75 million Cap Agreement does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

The location and amount of gains (losses) on derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments reported in the consolidated statements of operations were as follows:


	Location of (Loss)	Three Months Ended
Derivatives Not Designed As Hedging Instruments	Recognized in Income	May 1, 2010			May 2, 2009

The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2007 through 2010 are open tax years. The Company’s state tax filings are subject to varying statutes of limitations. The Company’s unrecognized state tax benefits are related to state tax returns open from 2002 through 2010, depending on each state’s particular statute of limitation. As of May 1, 2010, various state, local, and foreign income tax returns are under examination by taxing authorities.

The Company has a $1.1 million liability recorded for unrecognized tax benefits as of January 31, 2010, which includes interest and penalties of $0.3 million. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. All of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits increased by approximately $32,000. The increase to the total amount of the unrecognized tax benefit for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 includes an increase in interest and penalties of approximately $17,000.

It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the Company may settle its voluntary disclosure process with the State of New Jersey. The Company does not currently anticipate that such resolutions will significantly increase or decrease tax expense within the next twelve months. Furthermore, the statute of limitations related to the Company’s 2007 U.S. federal tax year will expire within the next twelve months. The lapse in the statute of limitations would be expected to decrease tax expense within the next twelve months. The expiration of the statute of limitations related to the Company’s 2007 U.S. federal tax year could result in a tax benefit of up to approximately $0.1 million.

12.

STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED SHARES

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company granted stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to purchase shares of common stock to certain key employees. The Company awarded an aggregate of 236,879 SARs with exercise prices ranging from $24.93 to $25.60, which generally vest over a three year period and have a seven year term. The total fair value of the SARs, based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, amounted to approximately $3.1 million, which will be recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each SAR.

In addition, the Company awarded to a director 3,720 SARs with an exercise price of $25.60, which vests over a three year period and has a seven year term. The total fair value of the SARs, based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, amounted to approximately $50,000, which will be recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company granted performance based restricted stock to certain key employees pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan, and subject to certain conditions in the grant agreement. Such stock generally vests 100% in April 2013, provided that each employee is still an employee of the Company on such date, and the Company has met certain performance criteria. A total of 40,704 shares of restricted stock were issued at an estimated value of $1.0 million, which will be recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Also, during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company awarded to a director 654 shares of restricted stock, which vest over a three year period at an estimated value of $15,000. This value will be recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the restricted stock.

13.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued interest payable approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount of the senior credit facility approximates fair value due to the frequent resets of its floating interest rate. As of May 1, 2010 and January 30, 2010, the fair value of the senior subordinated notes payable was approximately $132.0 million and $129.9 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices. These estimated fair value amounts have been determined using available market information.

The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the levels of inputs used to measure fair value:

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During fiscal 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase, from time to time and as market and business conditions warrant, its senior subordinated notes for cash in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The amount of senior subordinated notes that may be repurchased or otherwise retired, if any, are to be decided upon based on parameters approved by of the Company’s Board of Directors and are to depend on market conditions, trading levels of the Company’s senior subordinated notes, the Company’s cash position and other considerations.

During June 2010, the Company retired $25.0 million of its senior subordinated notes payable. In connection with this retirement, the Company paid an additional $453,000 in redemption premiums and commissions.

CONSOLIDATING CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company and several of its subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the senior subordinated notes on a joint and several basis. The following are condensed consolidating financial statements, which present, in separate columns: Perry Ellis International, Inc., (Parent Only), the Guarantors on a combined, or where appropriate, consolidated basis, and the Non-Guarantors on a consolidated basis. Additional

columns present eliminating adjustments and consolidated totals as of May 1, 2010 and January 30, 2010 and for the three months ended May 1, 2010 and May 2, 2009. The combined Guarantors are 100% owned subsidiaries of Perry Ellis International, Inc., and have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the senior subordinated notes payable on a joint and several basis. The Company has not presented separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the combined Guarantors because management has determined that such information is not material to investors.

This management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2010.

Forward–Looking Statements

We caution readers that this report includes “forward-looking statements” as that term is used in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations rather than historical facts and they are indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “envision,” “continue,” “intend,” “target,” “contemplate,” or “will” and similar words or phrases or comparable terminology. We have based such forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond our control. Some of the factors that could affect our financial performance, cause actual results to differ from our estimates, or underlie such forward-looking statements, are as set forth below and in various places in this report. These factors include:

anticipated and unanticipated trends and conditions in our industry, including the impact of recent or future retail and wholesale consolidation,

•

recent and future economic conditions, including turmoil in the financial and credit markets,

•

the effectiveness of our planned advertising, marketing and promotional campaigns,

•

our ability to contain costs,

•

disruptions in the supply chain,

•

our future capital needs and our ability to obtain financing,

•

our ability to integrate acquired businesses, trademarks, tradenames and licenses,

•

our ability to predict consumer preferences and changes in fashion trends and consumer acceptance of both new designs and newly introduced products,

•

the termination or non-renewal of any material license agreements to which we are a party,

•

changes in the costs of raw materials, labor and advertising,

•

our ability to carry out growth strategies including expansion in international and direct to consumer retail markets,

•

possible disruption in commercial activities due to terrorist activity and armed conflict, and

•

other factors set forth in this report and in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

You are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, detailed in our filings with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are valid only as of the date they were made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policies

Included in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2010 is a summary of all significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We follow the accounting methods and practices as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In particular, our critical accounting policies and areas we use judgment are in the areas of revenue recognition, the estimated collectability of accounts receivable, the recoverability of obsolete or overstocked inventory, the impairment of long-lived assets that are our trademarks, the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the measurement of retirement related benefits and stock-based compensation. We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended May 1, 2010, as compared to those we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2010.

Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the three month period in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending January 29, 2011 (“fiscal 2011”) compared with the three month period in the first quarter of the fiscal year ended January 30, 2010 (“fiscal 2010”).

Results of Operations - three months ended May 1, 2010 compared to the three months ended May 2, 2009.

Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended May 1, 2010 were $214.2 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 0.1%, from $214.0 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009. Net sales increased primarily due to the Perry Ellis apparel and accessories business, our new Callaway product, which amounted to $5.0 million, the addition of the new Top-Flite and Solero products, sales from our new Pierre Cardin licensed brand and the overall increase in our direct to consumer sales. These increases were partially offset by our planned reduction of $13.0 million in mass market private label business during fiscal 2010 and the reduction of $4.0 million in green grass volume, which was driven by the exit of our licensing agreement with PING.

Royalty income. Royalty income for the three months ended May 1, 2010 was $6.1 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.7%, from $6.0 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009. The slight increase was primarily driven by the new license agreements under the Gotcha brand in the categories of bedding and accessories, partially offset by the loss of the royalty income from our PING license agreement.

Gross profit. Gross profit was $78.7 million for the three months ended May 1, 2010, an increase of $9.5 million, or 13.7%, from $69.2 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009.

As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit margins were 35.7% for the three months ended May 1, 2010, as compared to 31.5% for the three months ended May 2, 2009, an increase of 420 basis points. The increase in the gross profit percentage was attributed to the performance of the Perry Ellis apparel and accessories business, the addition of the Callaway business, the exit of certain low margin mass market private label programs, an improved performance in our ladies and contemporary businesses and improved margins in our direct to consumer business.

Wholesale gross profit margins (which exclude the impact of royalty income) increased to 33.9% for the three months ended May 1, 2010 from 29.5% for the three months ended May 2, 2009. The increase of 440 basis points is attributed to the factors described above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended May 1, 2010 were $55.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 2.2%, from $54.4 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009. The increase was in line with our expectations and was primarily attributed to our expansion into our new wholesale brands, such as Callaway.

As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 25.2% for the three months ended May 1, 2010, as compared to 24.7% for the three months ended May 2, 2009. As a percentage of total revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, this increase was in line with our anticipated results and primarily due to the factors explained above.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended May 1, 2010 was $3.1 million, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 13.9%, from $3.6 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is attributed to the reduction in capital expenditures over the last two years and the closure of several retail stores.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended May 1, 2010, was $3.7 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 19.6%, from $4.6 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009. The overall decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to the lower average balance on our senior credit facility and senior subordinated notes payable as compared to the prior year, partially offset by the change in fair value of our interest rate swap and interest rate cap in the amount of $0.1 million.

Income taxes. The income tax provision for the three months ended May 1, 2010, was $4.9 million, a $4.1 million increase as compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009. For the three months ended May 1, 2010, our effective tax rate was 30.0% as compared to 12.5% for the three months ended May 2, 2009. The increase in the tax rate is attributed to the change in the ratio of income between domestic and foreign operations, of which the domestic operations are taxed at higher statutory tax rates.

Net income attributed to Perry Ellis International, Inc. The net income for the three months ended May 1, 2010 was $11.2 million, an increase of $5.4 million, or 93.1%, as compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009. The changes in operating results were due to the items described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We rely principally on cash flow from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facility, and to a lesser extent, on our letter of credit facilities to finance our operations, acquisitions and capital expenditures. We believe that as a result of our increased discipline in our working capital and cash flow management, our working capital requirements will increase slightly for fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010. As of May 1, 2010, our total working capital was $208.8 million as compared to $188.1 million as of January 30, 2010 and $235.2 million as of May 2, 2009. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, an underutilized $30 million letter of credit facility was terminated. Traditionally, our letter of credit facilities were used for trade financing. We have shifted our finance strategy from relying on letter of credit facilities to direct trade terms with our vendors, and as such, we did not need the excess capacity provided by this letter of credit facility. We believe that our cash flows from operations and availability under our senior credit facility and remaining letter of credit facilities are sufficient to meet our working capital needs.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $9.8 million for the three months ended May 1, 2010, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $17.4 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009. The cash provided by operating activities for three months ended May 1, 2010 is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable due to better collection efforts, a decrease in inventory of $7.8 million due to tighter controls in inventory planning and a decrease of other current assets and prepaid taxes in the amount of $3.1 million; offset by a reduction of our accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued interest payable. The cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended May 2, 2009 is primarily attributable to a decrease in inventory of $24.9 million due to tighter controls in inventory planning and a decrease of other current assets, primarily prepaid taxes in the amount of $6 million; offset by an increase in accounts receivable and a reduction of our accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued interest payable.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.5 million for the three months ended May 1, 2010, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $0.9 million for the three months ended May 2, 2009. The net cash used during the first three months of fiscal 2011 primarily reflects the purchase of property and equipment in the amount of $0.5 million, as compared to net cash used in the purchase of property and equipment in the amount of $0.9 million during the same period in fiscal 2010. We anticipate capital expenditures during fiscal 2011 of $7 million to $8 million in technology and systems, retail stores, and other expenditures.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended May 1, 2010, was $4.0 million, as compared to net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended May 2, 2009 of $18.1 million. The net cash provided during the first three months of fiscal 2011 primarily reflects proceeds from exercises of stock options of $2.2 million and a tax benefit from the exercise of stock options of $2.0 million offset by payments of $0.1 million on our mortgage loans. The net cash used during the first three months of fiscal 2010 primarily reflects the net payments on our senior credit facility of $16.2 million, payments of $0.1 million on our mortgage loans, and the purchase of treasury stock of $1.8 million.

During fiscal 2010, our Board of Directors authorized us to purchase, from time to time and as market and business conditions warrant, our senior subordinated notes for cash in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The amount of senior subordinated notes that may be repurchased or otherwise retired, if any, will be based on parameters approved by the Board of Directors and will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our senior subordinated notes, our cash position and other considerations.

The Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program, which authorizes us to continue to repurchase up to $20 million of our common stock for cash through September 2010. Although the Board of Directors allocated a maximum of $20 million to carry out the program, we are not obligated to purchase any specific number of outstanding shares, and will reevaluate the program on an ongoing basis. No purchases have been made during fiscal 2011. Through the first quarter of fiscal 2011 total purchases of $17.4 million have been made under this plan.

Senior Credit Facility

Effective March 31, 2010, we entered into an amendment to our senior credit facility. This amendment modified the senior credit facility to permit the sale of all present and future accounts receivable due from Kohl’s to Bank of America, N. A.

The following is a description of the terms of our senior credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association, et al, as amended, and does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the senior credit facility: (i) the line is up to $125 million with the opportunity to increase this amount in $25 million increments up to $200 million; (ii) the inventory borrowing limit is $75 million; (iii) the sublimit for letters of credit is up to $40 million; (iv) the amount of letter of credit facilities allowed outside of the facility is $110 million and (v) the outstanding balance is due at the maturity date of February 1, 2012. At May 1, 2010 we did not have any borrowings under the senior credit facility.

Certain Covenants. The senior credit facility contains certain covenants, which, among other things, requires us to maintain a minimum EBITDA if availability falls below a certain minimum. It may restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances, redeem or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, or sell assets. We are prohibited from paying cash dividends under these covenants. We are not aware of any non-compliance with any of our covenants under the senior credit facility. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants as the lenders under the senior credit facility could declare all amounts outstanding thereunder, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. If we are unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against our assets. In addition, a violation could also constitute a cross-default under the indenture and mortgage, resulting in all of our debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy.

Borrowing Base. Borrowings under our senior credit facility are limited under its terms to a borrowing base calculation, which generally restricts the outstanding balances to the lesser of either (1) the sum of (a) 85.0% of eligible receivables plus (b) 85.0% of its eligible factored accounts receivables up to $10.0 million plus (c) the lesser of (i) the inventory loan limit of $75 million, or (ii) the lesser of (A) 65.0% of eligible finished goods inventory, or (B) 85.0% of the net recovery percentage (as defined in the senior credit facility) of eligible inventory, or (2) the loan limit; and in each case minus (x) 35.0% of the amount of outstanding letters of credit for eligible inventory, (y) the full amount of all other outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to the senior credit facility which are not fully secured by cash collateral, and (z) licensing reserves for which we are the licensee of certain branded products.

Interest. Interest on the principal balance under our senior credit facility accrues, at our option, at either (a) the greater of Wachovia’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds rate; plus ¹/2% plus a margin spread of 100 to 175 basis points based upon the sum of our quarterly average excess availability plus excess cash for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, at the time of borrowing or (b) the rate quoted by Wachovia as the average monthly Eurodollar Rate for 1-month Eurodollar deposits plus a margin spread of 200 to 275 basis points based upon the sum of our quarterly average excess availability plus excess cash for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, at the time of borrowing.

Security. As security for the indebtedness under the senior credit facility, we granted the lenders a first priority security interest in substantially all of our existing and future assets other than our trademark portfolio and real estate owned, including, without limitation, accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, general intangibles, equipment and capital stock or membership interests, as the case may be, of certain subsidiaries.

Letter of Credit Facilities

As of May 1, 2010, we maintained two U.S. dollar letter of credit facilities totaling $50.0 million, one letter of credit facility totaling $3.7 million utilized by our Canadian joint venture, and one letter of credit facility totaling $0.9 million utilized by our United Kingdom subsidiary. Each letter of credit is secured primarily by the consignment of merchandise in transit under that letter of credit and certain subordinated liens on our assets. As of May 1, 2010, there was $49.2 million available under the existing letter of credit facilities.

$150 Million Senior Subordinated Notes Payable

In fiscal 2004, we issued $150 million 8⁷/ ₈% senior subordinated notes, due September 15, 2013. The proceeds of this offering were used to redeem previously issued $100 million 12¹/4% senior subordinated notes and to pay down the outstanding balance of the senior credit facility at that time. The proceeds to us were $146.8 million yielding an effective interest rate of 9.1%.

Certain Covenants. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes contains certain covenants which restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances, redeem or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, or sell assets. We are not aware of any non-compliance with any of our covenants in this indenture. We are prohibited from paying cash dividends under these covenants. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants because the indenture’s trustee could declare the outstanding notes, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. In addition, a violation could also constitute a cross-default under the senior credit facility, the letter of credit facilities and the real estate mortgages resulting in all of our debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, we retired $20.8 million of our senior subordinated notes payable. In connection with this retirement, we paid an additional $98,000 in redemption premiums and commissions. Additionally, we wrote-off approximately $259,000 in unamortized discount and bond fees associated with the retired portion of our senior subordinated notes.

During June 2010, we retired $25.0 million of our senior subordinated notes payable. In connection with this retirement, we paid an additional $453,000 in redemption premiums and commissions.

Real Estate Mortgage Loans

In fiscal 2003, we acquired our main administrative office, warehouse and distribution facility in Miami and partially financed the acquisition of the facility with an $11.6 million mortgage loan. The real estate mortgage loan contains certain covenants. We are not aware of any non-compliance with any of our covenants under the real estate mortgage. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants because the lender under the real estate mortgage loan could declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. In addition, a violation could constitute a cross-default under our senior credit facility, the letter of credit facilities and indenture relating to our senior subordinated notes resulting in all our of debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. Interest is fixed at 7.123%. In August 2008, we executed a maturity extension of the real estate mortgage loan until July 1, 2010. At May 1, 2010, the balance of the real estate mortgage loan totaled $10.7 million, of which the entire balance is reflected as a current liability since it is due within one year. We anticipate refinancing the real estate mortgage loan during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

In June 2006, we entered into a mortgage loan for $15 million secured by our Tampa facility. The loan is due on June 7, 2016. Principal and interest of $297,000 are due quarterly based on a 20 year amortization with the outstanding principal due at maturity. Interest is set at 6.25% for the first five years, at which point it will be reset based on the terms and conditions of the promissory note. At May 1, 2010, the balance of the real estate mortgage loan totaled $14.1 million, of which $352,000 is due within one year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any “off-balance sheet arrangements” as defined by applicable GAAP and SEC rules.

Effects of Inflation and Foreign Currency Fluctuations

We do not believe that inflation or foreign currency fluctuations significantly affected our results of operations for the three months ended May 1, 2010.

Item 3:

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

The market risk inherent in our financial statements represents the potential changes in the fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from changes in interest rates. We manage this exposure through regular operating

and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Our policy allows the use of derivative financial instruments for identifiable market risk exposure, including interest rate.

Derivatives on $150 Million Senior Subordinated Notes Payable

In August 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $75 million in order to reduce our debt servicing costs associated with our $150 million 8 7/8% senior subordinated notes. The Swap Agreement is scheduled to terminate on September 15, 2013. Under the Swap Agreement, we are entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a fixed rate of 8 7/8% and are obligated to make semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate plus 632 basis points for the period through September 15, 2013. The Swap Agreement has an optional call provision that allows the counterparty to settle the Swap Agreement at any time with 30 days notice and subject to declining termination premium payments from the counterparty in the event the call is exercised. The Swap Agreement is a fair value hedge as it has been designated against the 8 7/8% senior subordinated notes carrying a fixed rate of interest and converts the fixed interest payments to variable interest payments. The Swap Agreement resulted in a decrease to interest expense of $0.6 million for the three months ended May 1, 2010. The fair value of the Swap Agreement recorded on our consolidated balance sheet was $1.0 million and $1.2 million as of May 1, 2010 and January 30, 2010, respectively.

In August 2009, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement (the “$75 million Cap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $75 million associated with our senior subordinated notes. The $75 million Cap Agreement is scheduled to become effective on December 15, 2010 and terminate on September 15, 2013. The $75 million Cap Agreement is being used to manage cash flow risk associated with our floating interest rate exposure pursuant to the Swap Agreement. The $75 million Cap Agreement limits the maximum interest rate on $75 million of our senior subordinated notes to 9.32%. The $75 million Cap Agreement does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The change in fair value resulted in an increase to interest expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended May 1, 2010. The fair value of the $75 million Cap Agreement recorded on our consolidated balance sheet was $1.5 million and $1.2 million as of May 1, 2010 and January 30, 2010, respectively.

Other

Our current exposure to foreign exchange risk is not significant and accordingly, we have not entered into any transactions to hedge against those risks.

Item 4:

Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 1, 2010 in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings, and that information required to be disclosed by us in these periodic filings was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended May 1, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
