NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Amounts and the Number of Stores)

 

1.                                      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc. (the “Company”) is a nationwide retailer of classic men’s clothing through conventional retail stores and catalog and internet direct marketing.  The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year.  In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of the operating results for these periods.  These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles accepted in the United States for comparable annual financial statements.  Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005.

 

2.                                      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Inventories - - The Company records inventory at the lower of cost or market (“LCM”). Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company capitalizes into inventory certain warehousing and freight delivery costs associated with shipping its merchandise to the point of sale.  The Company periodically reviews quantities of inventories on hand and compares these amounts to the expected sale of each product.  The Company records a charge to cost of goods sold for the amount required to reduce the carrying value of inventory to net realizable value. 

 

Vendor Rebates - The Company receives credits from vendors in connection with inventory purchases.  The credits are separately negotiated with each vendor.  Substantially all of these credits are earned in one of two ways: a) as a fixed percentage of purchases when an invoice is paid or b) as an agreed-upon amount in the month a new store is opened.  There are no contingent minimum purchase amounts, milestones or other contingencies that are required to be met to earn the credits.  The credits described in a) above are recorded as a reduction to inventories in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as the inventories are purchased and the credits described in b) above are recorded as a reduction to inventories as new stores are opened.  In both cases, the credits are recognized as reductions to cost of goods sold as the product is sold.

 

Landlord Contributions - - Landlord contributions are accounted for as an increase to noncurrent lease obligations and as an increase to prepaid and other current assets until collected.  When collected, the Company records cash and reduces the prepaid and other current assets account.  The landlord contributions are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as an operating activity.  The noncurrent lease obligations are amortized over the life of the lease in a manner that is consistent with the Company’s policy to straight-line rent expense over the term of the lease.  The amortization is recorded as a reduction to sales and marketing expense which is consistent with the classification of lease expense. 

 

Stock Option Plan - The Company applies the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation”, issued in March 2000, to account for its fixed-plan stock options.  Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the then-current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. Historically, the Company has issued all options at the market price on the date of grant.  There was no stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the periods ended May 1, 2004 and April 30, 2005. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans.  As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148.  The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the fair-value-based method had been applied to all outstanding and

Reclassifications – Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended May 1, 2004 have been reclassified in order to conform to the April 30, 2005 presentation. The Company reclassified sales and related costs for new stores between the Stores and Direct Marketing segments in Note 6 to this Form 10-Q.  The Company also reclassified certain amounts of deferred income taxes in the May 1, 2004 financial statements to conform with the April 30, 2005 presentation.

 

3.                                      RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On February 7, 2005, in a letter to the Center for Public Company Audit Firms-American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “SEC Letter”), the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) expressed the views of the SEC staff concerning certain operating lease accounting issues and their application under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Specifically, the SEC Letter addressed the appropriate accounting for: (1) the amortization of leasehold improvements by a lessee in an operating lease with lease renewals, (2) the pattern of recognition of rent when the lease term in an operating lease contains a period where there are free or reduced rents (commonly referred to as “rent holidays”), and (3) incentives related to leasehold improvements provided by a landlord/lessor to a tenant/lessee in an operating lease. Like many other companies in the retail industry, the Company has re-evaluated its lease accounting practices in light of the SEC Letter.

 

Amortization of Leasehold Improvements- In order to comply with GAAP regarding amortization of leasehold improvements discussed in the SEC Letter, the Company revised the straight-line rent schedules for thirteen of its stores to achieve consistency with the corresponding leasehold amortization schedules.

 

Rent Holidays- In the SEC Letter, the SEC staff reiterated that GAAP requires rent holidays in an operating lease should be recognized by the lessee on a straight-line basis over the lease term (including any rent holiday period).  In prior periods, the Company had generally recognized the straight line expense for a lease beginning on the date the store opened, which was generally the date the lease term commenced in accordance with the lease.  The period during which the store was being constructed was excluded from the straight-line rent schedule because the construction period was not considered to be part of the lease term in accordance with the lease. Based on our re-evaluation, the Company concluded that the construction period should be included in the straight-line rent schedule.

 

7



 

As a result of the correction to its rent schedules, the Company restated the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2004.  The foregoing corrections are inclusive of the immaterial changes resulting from the modification of the rent schedules to achieve consistency with the corresponding leasehold amortization schedules, as set forth above.

 

Landlord Contributions- Leasehold improvement incentives provided by a landlord to the Company were previously recorded by the Company as a reduction of the property, plant and equipment account on its balance sheet and amortized as a reduction to depreciation expense in its income statement.  However, GAAP requires that such incentives be recorded as deferred rent and amortized as reductions to lease expense.  As a result, the Company’s property, plant and equipment asset account and deferred rent liability account were increased which resulted in increases to cash flows provided by operating activities and cash flows used for investing activities in equal amounts.  Accordingly, the Company restated the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2004.  These landlord contributions are amortized over the life of the lease as a reduction to rent expense.

 

The impact of the restatement on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 1, 2004 was an increase in the total property, plant and equipment account of $14,363 and an increase in the deferred rent liability account of $16,183.  The restatement also had a cumulative decrease on retained earnings of $1,112 and an increase to deferred income taxes of $708 as of May 1, 2004.  The restatement did not have any impact on our previously reported sales or comparable store sales or on our compliance with any financial covenant under our line of credit facility or other debt instruments.  For the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the impact of the restatement is a decrease in net income of $64 and a decrease in reported diluted earnings per share of $0.01, from amounts previously reported.

 

The following is a summary of the significant effects of the restatement on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2004.  As the Company has been using the new lease accounting practices since the beginning of fiscal 2005, the Company has accounted for its leases for the current quarter in accordance with GAAP.

5.                                      EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year.  Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the diluted weighted average common shares, which reflect the potential dilution of stock options. The weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

The Company uses the treasury method for calculating the dilutive effect of stock options.  There were no anti-dilutive options as of May 1, 2004 and 19 anti-dilutive options as of April 30, 2005.

 

6.                                      SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company has two reportable segments: stores and direct marketing.  The stores segment includes all Company owned stores excluding factory stores.  The direct marketing segment includes all sales through catalog and internet.  While each segment offers a similar mix of men’s clothing to the retail customer, the stores also provide complete alterations and the direct marketing segment only provides certain alterations.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005.  The Company evaluates performance of the segments based on “four wall” contribution which excludes any allocation of “management company” costs, distribution center costs (except order fulfillment costs which are allocated to direct marketing), interest and income taxes.

 

The Company’s segments are strategic business units that offer similar products to the retail customer by two distinctively different methods.  In stores the typical customer travels to the store and purchases men’s clothing and/or alterations and takes their purchases with them.  The direct marketing customer receives a catalog in his or her home and/or office and/or visits our web page via the internet and places an order by phone, mail, fax or on line.  The merchandise is then shipped to the customer. Segment data is presented in the following table:

7.                                      COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS

 

On January 13, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a 50% common stock dividend payable on February 18, 2004 to stockholders of record as of January 30, 2004.  On June 8, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a 25% common stock dividend payable on August 18, 2004 to stockholders of record as of July 30, 2004.  Unless otherwise indicated, all historical weighted average share and per share amounts and all references to the number of common shares elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, have been restated to reflect the two stock dividends.

 

8.                                      LEGAL MATTERS

 

From time to time, legal matters in which the Company may be named as a defendant arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities.  Although the outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company cannot be accurately predicted, the Company does not expect that any such liability will have a material adverse effect on the business, net assets or financial position of the Company.

 

Item 2.                                   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005.

 

The financial information for fiscal 2004 included in this Form 10-Q has been restated to reflect the revision of the Company’s historic practices of accounting for lease transactions as discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005.  See Note 3 to this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

 

Overview - For the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ending January 28, 2006 (“fiscal 2005”), the Company’s net income increased to $6.7 million compared with net income of $5.3 million for the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended January 29, 2005 (“fiscal 2004”). The Company earned $0.47 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared with $0.37 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.  As such, diluted earnings per share increased 27% compared with the prior year period.  The increased earnings were primarily attributable to:

 

                  20.8% increase in net sales with increases in both the store and direct marketing (catalog and internet) segments;

                  Over 140 basis point increase in gross profit margins; and

                  The opening of 57 new stores since the end of the first quarter of 2004.

 

The increased earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 follow an increase of 131% in earnings per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 above the results of the first quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 (“fiscal 2003”).

 

Management believes that the chain can grow to approximately 500 stores from the fiscal 2004 year-end base of 269 stores.  The Company plans to open between 60 to 75 stores in fiscal 2005 as part of its plan to grow the chain to the 500 store level. The Company opened 6 stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and expects to open approximately 10 to 14 stores in the second quarter, with the remaining stores to be opened in the second half of the year. The store growth is part of a strategic plan the Company initiated in the year ended February 3, 2001 (“fiscal 2000”).  In the past five years, the Company has continued to increase the number of store openings as infrastructure and performance has improved.  As such, there were ten new stores opened in fiscal 2000 (including two factory stores), 21 new stores in the year ended February 2, 2002, 25 new stores in the year ended February 1, 2003 (“fiscal 2002”), 50 new stores in fiscal 2003 and 60 new stores in fiscal 2004.

 

12



 

Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $35 million in fiscal 2005, primarily to fund the opening of approximately 60 to 75 new stores, the renovation and/or relocation of several stores and the implementation of various systems initiatives.  The capital expenditures include the cost of the construction of leasehold improvements for new stores of which $12-15 million is expected to be reimbursed through landlord contributions.  The Company also expects inventories to increase in 2005 to support new store openings, sales growth in existing segments and other initiatives.

 

Common Stock Dividends.  On January 13, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a 50% common stock dividend payable on February 18, 2004 to stockholders of record as of January 30, 2004.  On June 8, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a 25% common stock dividend payable on August 18, 2004 to stockholders of record as of July 30, 2004. Unless otherwise indicated, all historical weighted average share and per share amounts and all references to the number of common shares elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, have been restated to reflect the two stock dividends.

 

Critical accounting policies and estimates - In preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, a number of assumptions and estimates are made that, in the judgment of management, are proper in light of existing general economic and company-specific circumstances. For a detailed discussion on the application of this and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005.

 

Inventory. The Company records inventory at the lower of cost or market (“LCM”). Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.   The estimated market value is based on assumptions for future demand and related pricing. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventory to net realizable value where cost exceeds estimated selling price less costs of disposal.

 

Management’s sales assumptions are based on the Company’s experience that most of the Company’s inventory is sold through the Company’s primary sales channels with virtually no inventory being liquidated through bulk sales to third parties. The Company’s LCM reserve estimates for inventory that have been made in the past have been very reliable as a significant portion of its sales (approximately 67% in fiscal 2004) are classic traditional products that are on-going programs and that bear low risk of write-down.  These products include items such as navy and grey suits, navy blazers, white and blue button-down shirts, etc.  The portion of the products that have seasonal or fashion elements are monitored closely to ensure that aging goals are achieved to limit the need to sell significant amounts of product below cost.  In addition, the Company’s strong gross profit margins enable the Company to sell substantially all of its products at levels above cost.

 

To calculate the estimated market value, the Company periodically performs a detailed review of all of its major inventory classes and stock-keeping units.  The Company compares the on-hand units and season-to-date unit sales (including actual selling prices) to the sales trend and estimated prices required to sell the units in the future, which enables the Company to estimate the amount which may have to be sold below cost.  Substantially all units sold below cost are sold in the Company’s factory stores within twenty-four months of purchase.  In fiscal 2003 and 2004, the Company’s costs in excess of selling price plus the cost of disposal in its factory stores was $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively.  The Company anticipates similar results in fiscal 2005.  The inventory component of these costs is recorded in cost of goods sold whereas the related costs of disposal are recorded as selling and marketing expenses.    If the inventory required to be sold through the factory stores or liquidated through other means varies from the estimate, the Company’s LCM reserve could change.

 

Asset Valuation. Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment subject to depreciation, are periodically reviewed for impairment to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.  The asset valuation estimate is principally dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profits at both the Company and store levels.  These levels are principally driven by the sales and gross profit trends that are closely monitored by the Company.  There were no asset valuation charges recorded for the three month periods ended May 1, 2004 and April 30, 2005.

 

Lease Accounting.  The Company uses a consistent lease period (generally, the initial non-cancelable lease term plus renewal options periods provided for in the lease that can be reasonable assured) when calculating depreciation of leasehold improvements and in determining straight-line rent expense and classification of its leases as either an operating lease or a capital lease.  The lease term and straight-line rent expense (inclusive of the construction period) commence on the date when the Company takes possession and has the right to control use of the leased premises.  Funds received from the lessor intended to reimburse the Company for the costs of leasehold improvements is recorded as a deferred credit resulting from a lease incentive and amortized over the lease term as a reduction to rent expense.

 

13



 

While the Company has taken reasonable care in preparing these estimates and making these judgments, actual results could and probably will differ from the estimates.  Management believes any difference in the actual results from the estimates will not have a material effect upon the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Net sales - Net sales increased 20.8% or $16.7 million to $96.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared with $79.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.  The sales increase was primarily related to a 20.3% increase in store sales (including a 4.1% increase in comparable store sales) and a 26.4% increase in direct marketing sales. The sales increases were primarily due to increases in sales of suits, shirts, ties and sportswear.

 

For comparable stores, the average dollars per transaction increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to the first quarter in fiscal 2004.  Traffic (as measured by transactions) in comparable stores also increased in first quarter of fiscal 2005 while items per transaction decreased.  Beginning in fiscal 2005, comparable store sales include merchandise sales generated in all stores that have been open for at least thirteen full months.

 

The following table summarizes store opening and closing activity during the respective periods.

Gross profit - Gross profit (net sales less cost of goods sold) increased to $60.6 million or 62.8% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from $49.0 million or 61.3% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.  The increased gross profit percentage is primarily due to the continued improvement in sourcing of merchandise, thus reducing the cost of items purchased, and increases in retail prices.  Gross profit margins increased in substantially all major product categories. 

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses – Sales and marketing expenses, which consist primarily of a) full-line store, factory store and direct marketing occupancy, payroll, selling and other variable costs and b) total Company advertising and marketing expenses, increased to $39.5 million or 40.9% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from $30.8 million or 38.5% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.  The $8.8 million increase in sales and marketing expenses relates primarily to a) $6.1 million of additional costs incurred in the 57 stores opened since the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and the incremental costs for the 8 stores (net) which opened in the

 

14



 

first quarter of fiscal 2004 and b) $2.7 million additional costs related to an increase in expenses in the stores which were open prior to fiscal 2004 as well as in total Company marketing costs.  The Company expects sales and marketing expenses to increase in fiscal 2005 primarily as a result of opening 60 to 75 new stores, the full year operation of stores that were opened during fiscal 2004, and an increase in advertising expenditures.

 

General and Administrative Expenses – General and administrative expenses (“G&A”), which consist primarily of corporate payroll costs and overhead and distribution center costs, increased to $9.2 million or 9.5% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from $8.6 million or 10.7% in the first quarter of 2004.  The increases were primarily due to higher distribution center occupancy costs, travel related costs, professional fees related to financial control compliance and other expenses related to business expansion.  Continued growth in stores and the direct segment may result in increases in G&A expenses.  In the first quarter of 2004, the Company recognized a gain of $0.3 million related to the settlement of a dispute in favor of the Company, which was recorded as a reduction of G&A.

 

Store Opening Costs – Store opening costs, which include the initial promotional advertising costs as well as other start-up costs such as travel for recruitment, training, and setup of new stores, decreased $0.1 million to $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from $0.2 million for the same period of 2004 due primarily to the opening of fewer stores in the first quarter of 2005 compared with the same period of 2004.

 

Interest Expense, net – Interest expense decreased $0.2 million to $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from $0.5 million for the same period of 2004.  The decrease was due primarily to lower borrowing levels partially offset by higher interest rates.  Average revolver loan borrowings decreased $18.8 million to $6.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared with $25.0 for the same period of fiscal 2004.  The average interest rate was 5.98% for the first fiscal quarter of 2005 compared with 2.97% for the same period of 2004.

 

Income Taxes – The first quarter of fiscal 2005 effective income tax rate remained relatively constant at 41.2% compared with 41.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.  During the first quarter of 2005 the Company adopted the retail method of accounting for inventory for tax purposes.  The impact on the Company’s tax position as reflected in the first quarter fiscal 2005 balance sheet was to decrease taxes currently payable and increase deferred tax liabilities.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources - The Company maintains a bank credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a revolving loan whose limit is determined by a formula based on the Company’s inventories and accounts receivable. The Credit Agreement allows the Company to borrow a maximum revolving amount under the facility up to $100 million. In addition, the Company has the option to increase the amount which may be borrowed to $125 million if requested prior to April 30, 2006, if needed and if supported by its borrowing base formula under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also includes a) financial covenants concerning minimum EBITDA, b) limitations on capital expenditures and additional indebtedness and c) a restriction on the payment of dividends. The financial covenants are in effect only if the Company’s availability in excess of outstanding borrowings is less than $7.5 million. The Company does not believe its availability in excess of borrowings will be less than $7.5 million during fiscal 2005. As of April 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants. Interest rates under the Credit Agreement are either at the prime rate or at LIBOR plus 1.5% which are variable rates and are the same basis as the rates that existed for the same period of fiscal 2004. The agreement also includes provisions for a seasonal over-advance.  The Company also has $6.6 million of term debt to be repaid as noted in the contractual obligations table below.

 

The Company’s availability in excess of outstanding borrowings, as supported by the existing borrowing base under its Credit Agreement, was $78.5 million at April 30, 2005 compared with $74.6 million at January 29, 2005.

Cash used by the Company’s operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 increased primarily due to higher expenditures for inventory compared with the same period of 2004.  Cash used for purchase of inventory was $16.9 million for the first quarter of 2005 compared with $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2004.  This cash used for the purchase of inventory was offset by $8.3 million of cash tax payments deferred by the change to the retail method of accounting for inventory for tax purposes. Cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2005 relates primarily to capital expenditures for new stores.  Cash provided by financing activities

relates primarily to $10 million from the Company’s revolving loan under the Credit Agreement and $0.2 million from the proceeds of the exercise of stock options.  Also, the Company used $0.2 million for the repayment of long-term debt.

 

For fiscal 2005, the Company expects to spend approximately $35 million on capital expenditures, primarily to fund the opening of approximately 60 to 75 new stores, the renovation and/or relocation of several stores and the implementation of various systems initiatives. The Company spent $5.1 million on capital expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.  Management believes that the Company’s cash from operations and availability under its Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund its planned capital expenditures and operating expenses for fiscal 2005.  The capital expenditures include the cost of the construction of leasehold improvements for new stores of which $12 to $15 million is expected to be reimbursed through landlord contributions.  These amounts are typically paid by the landlords after the completion of construction by the Company and the receipt of appropriate lien waivers from contractors.  For the stores opened in fiscal 2004, the Company negotiated approximately $12.6 million of landlord contributions of which approximately $8.7 million have been collected, including approximately $3.5 million which was collected in the first quarter of 2005. The remaining amount is expected to be received in fiscal 2005.  For the stores opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company negotiated approximately $1.1 million of landlord contributions, which is expected to be received by the end of fiscal 2005.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than its operating lease agreements and letters of credit outstanding under its bank credit activity as discussed below.

 

Disclosures about Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

 

The Company’s principal commitments are non-cancelable operating leases in connection with its retail stores, certain tailoring spaces and equipment.  Under the terms of certain of these leases, the Company is required to pay a base annual rent plus a contingent amount based on sales.  In addition, many of these leases include scheduled rent increases.

(b)         To secure the payment of rent at one leased location included in “Operating Leases” above and is renewable each year through the end of the lease term (2009).

(c)          The Company generally does not make unconditional, noncancelable purchase commitments.  In fiscal 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with one raw material supplier to purchase a specified quantity of fabric into fiscal 2005.

(d)         These scheduled interest payments consist of interest payments on the outstanding long term debt.  For borrowings under the Company’s revolving loan agreement, projected interest is calculated based on the outstanding principal balance as of April 30, 2005.  For borrowings under the Company’s variable rate debt instruments (including the revolving loan agreement), interest is calculated based on the interest rates in effect on April 30, 2005.  The principal balance of the revolver and all variable interest rates may, and probably will, vary in future periods.

 

Cautionary Statement

 

The Company’s statements concerning future operations contained herein are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Actual results may differ materially from those forecasted due to a variety of factors outside of the Company’s control that can affect the Company’s operating results, liquidity and financial condition such as risks associated with economic, weather, public health and other factors affecting consumer spending, the ability of the Company to finance its expansion plans, the mix and pricing of goods sold, the market price of key raw materials such as wool and cotton, availability of lease sites for new stores, the ability to source product from its global supplier base and other competitive factors. These cautionary statements qualify all of the forward-looking statements the Company makes herein. The Company cannot assure you that the results

or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that those results or developments will result in the expected consequences for the Company or affect the Company, its business or its operations in the way the Company expects. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their respective dates, and assumes no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements. These risks should be carefully reviewed before making any investment decision.

 

Item 3.                                   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

At April 30, 2005, there were no derivative financial instruments.  In addition, the Company does not believe it is materially at risk for changes in market interest rates or foreign currency fluctuations. The Company’s interest on borrowings under its Credit Agreement is at a variable rate based on the prime rate or a spread over the LIBOR.

 

Item 4.                                   Controls and Procedures

 

Limitations on Controls and Procedures.  Because of their inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (collectively, “Control Systems”) may not prevent or detect all failures or misstatements of the type sought to be avoided by Control Systems. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s Control Systems to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), does not expect that the Company’s Control Systems will prevent all error or all fraud.  A Control System, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the Control System are met.  Further, the design of a Control System must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of Control Systems must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all Control Systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The following report by management, including the CEO and CFO, on the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures expresses only reasonable assurance of the conclusions reached.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures- The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management has evaluated, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2005.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting- On February 7, 2005, the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a letter (the “SEC Letter”) to the Center for Public Company Audit Firms-American Institute of Certified Public Accountants expressing the views of the SEC staff concerning certain operating lease accounting issues and their application under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Specifically, the SEC Letter addressed the appropriate accounting for: (1) the amortization of leasehold improvements by a lessee in an operating lease with lease renewals, (2) the pattern of recognition of rent when the lease term in an operating lease contains a period where there are free or reduced rents (commonly referred to as “rent holidays”), and (3) incentives related to leasehold improvements provided by a landlord/lessor to a tenant/lessee in an operating lease. As more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005, filed with the SEC on April 14, 2005, the Company revised its accounting policies in light of the SEC Letter.

 

Amortization of Leasehold Improvements- In order to comply with the accounting standards regarding amortization of leasehold improvements discussed in the SEC Letter, the Company revised the straight-line rent schedules for thirteen of its stores to achieve consistency with the corresponding leasehold amortization schedules.  The resulting change to rent expense was immaterial.

 

Rent Holidays- In the SEC Letter, the SEC staff stated that GAAP requires rent holidays in an operating lease should be recognized by the lessee on a straight-line basis over the lease term (including any rent holiday period).  In prior periods, the Company had generally recognized the straight line expense for a lease beginning on the date the store opened, which was generally the date the lease term commenced in accordance with the lease.  The period during which the store was being constructed was excluded from the straight-line rent schedule because the construction period was not considered to be part of the lease term in accordance with the lease. Based on our re-evaluation, the Company has concluded that the construction period should be included in the straight-line rent schedule.

 

The financial information for the quarter ended May 1, 2004 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been restated to

 

17



 

reflect, among other items, the change in the Company’s rent schedules.  Such changes are inclusive of the immaterial changes resulting from the modification of the rent schedules to achieve consistency with the corresponding leasehold amortization schedules as set forth above. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2005, the Company implemented procedures designed to insure that rent holidays receive appropriate accounting treatment in accordance with GAAP.

 

Landlord/Tenant Incentives- Leasehold improvement incentives provided by a landlord to the Company were previously recorded by the Company as a reduction of the property, plant and equipment account on its balance sheet and amortized as a reduction to depreciation expense in its income statement.  However, the SEC Letter states that such incentives should be “recorded as deferred rent and amortized as reductions to lease expense.”  As a result, the Company’s property, plant and equipment asset account and deferred rent liability account have been increased. The financial information for the quarter ended May I, 2004 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been restated to reflect, among other items, these increases. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2005, the Company implemented procedures designed to insure that leasehold improvement incentives receive appropriate accounting treatment in accordance with GAAP.

 

Except as otherwise set forth in this Item 4, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter (the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II.                                                OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.                                   Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, legal matters in which the Company may be named as a defendant arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities.  Although the outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company cannot be accurately predicted, the Company does not expect that any such liability will have a material adverse effect on the business, net assets or financial position of the Company.
