ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the "Selected Financial Data" and the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, which are included elsewhere herein.
 
Overview
 
The Company, which operates in one business segment, is a designer and marketer of branded jeanswear and sportswear. The Company offers collections of jeanswear and sportswear for men and women under the Marithé and François Girbaud brand (“Girbaud brand”) in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. The Girbaud brand is an internationally recognized designer label with a distinct European influence. The Company has positioned its Girbaud brand line with a broad assortment of products, styles and fabrications reflecting a contemporary European look. The Company markets a full collection of men’s and women’s jeanswear and sportswear under the Girbaud brand, including a broad array of bottoms, tops and outerwear. The Company focuses its efforts on the Girbaud brand exclusively which provided all its net sales in 2004, 2003 and 2002.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The Company’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in its Summary of Accounting Policies set forth in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto which accompany this report. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The Company does not believe there is a great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported related to the accounting policies described below; however, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of each quarter. In performing this evaluation, the Company analyzes the payment history of its significant past due accounts, subsequent cash collections on these accounts and comparative accounts receivable aging statistics. Based on this information, along with consideration of the general strength of the economy, the Company develops what it considers to be a reasonable estimate of the uncollectible amounts included in accounts receivable. This estimate involves significant judgment by the management of the Company. Actual uncollectible amounts may differ from the Company’s estimate.
 
Net revenue is recognized upon the transfer of title and risk of ownership to customers, which is generally upon shipment as terms are FOB shipping point. Revenue is recorded net of discounts, as well as provisions for estimated returns and allowances. The Company estimates the provision for returns by reviewing trends and returns on a historical basis. On a seasonal basis, the Company negotiates price adjustments with its retail customers as sales incentives. The Company estimates the cost of such adjustments on an ongoing basis considering historical trends, projected seasonal results and an evaluation of current economic conditions. In the year ended December 31, 2004, these costs have been recorded as a reduction to net revenue and all prior period information has been reclassified to reflect this change. These price adjustments, which were previously classified as selling expenses in prior years, were $3,777,084, $1,919,809 and $2,276,833 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively. This change has no effect on net income or loss in any period presented.
 
Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs incurred are classified in distribution and shipping in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
The Company includes in cost of goods sold all costs and expenses related to obtaining merchandise incurred prior to the receipt of finished goods at the Company’s distribution facilities. These costs include, but are not limited to, product cost, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs and internal transfer costs, as well as insurance, duties, brokers’ fees and consolidators’ fees. The Company includes in selling, general and administrative expenses costs incurred subsequent to the receipt of finished goods at its distribution facilities, such as the cost of picking and packing goods for delivery to customers. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses include product design costs, selling and store service costs, marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.
 
The Company estimates inventory markdowns based on customer orders sold below its inventory cost that will be shipped in the following period and estimates an amount for similar unsold inventory at period end. The Company analyzes recent sales and gross margins on unsold inventory in further estimating inventory markdowns. These specific markdowns are reflected in cost of sales and the related gross margins at the conclusion of the appropriate selling season. This estimate involves significant judgment by the management of the Company. Actual gross margins on sales of excess inventory may differ from the Company’s estimate.

Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2003
 
Net Sales and gross profit.
 
Net sales increased 25.3% to $80.6 million in 2004 from $64.3 million in 2003. Net sales of the Girbaud men's product line increased $10.4 million, or 18.8%, to $65.8 million while the Girbaud women's product line increased $5.9 million, or 66.3%, to $14.8 million.
 
Gross profit increased 51.0% to $31.1 million in 2004 from $20.6 million in 2003. Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of net sales, increased to 38.5% from 32.0% over the same period. Higher gross profit and gross margins were due to better product performance, improved delivery to retailers and a higher percentage of sales to customers at full price in 2004, a year during which unit sales of off-price goods as a percentage of total sales decreased significantly to 19%, compared to 33% for 2003. Beginning with shipments in the third quarter of 2004, the Company’s management raised the selling prices of its products in order to increase its gross margin to a level that it viewed as being consistent with other companies in the industry. In the absence of further price increases (which management does not expect to implement in the foreseeable future), it is not likely that gross profit and gross margin will increase in 2005 and future years as significantly, if at all, as the gross profit and gross margin changes that occurred in 2004 due to the price increases discussed below.

Gross units sold remained relatively unchanged at 3.6 million units in 2004 and 2003. Gross sales (sales before adjustment for returns and allowances) increased 29.3% to $88.6 million in 2004 compared to $68.5 million in 2003. The related gross margins on these sales (unadjusted for returns and allowances) increased $12.5 million to $37.0 million in 2004 from $24.5 million in 2003. Returns and allowances increased to 9.0% of gross sales in 2004 from 6.1% in 2003 as the Company provided more price adjustments to its retail stores in 2004 compared to 2003. The main contributing factors to the increase in gross sales, gross profit and gross margin notwithstanding the comparatively unchanged unit volume of sales were as follows:
 
·  
Increases in the unit and dollar volumes of goods sold at regular prices - An increase of 23.8% in unit sales of goods sold at regular prices (both T-Shirts and Jeans & Tops) to 2.6 million units in 2004 compared to 2.1 million units in 2003. That increase in unit volumes of regular priced merchandise resulted in
 
▪  
a 43.2% or $22.4 million increase (from $51.9 million in 2003) in the dollar volume of sales of regular priced merchandise;
 
▪  
a 51.5% or $12.2 million increase in gross profit (from $23.7 million in 2003); and
 
▪  
a 2.6% increase to 48.3% in gross profit margins (from 45.7% in 2003).
 
·  
Reductions in the unit and dollar volumes of goods sold at promotional and off-price discounts - A decrease of 33.3% in unit sales of goods sold at promotional and off-price discounts (both T-Shirts and Jeans & Tops) to 1.0 million units in 2004 compared to 1.5 million units in 2003. That reduction in unit volumes of merchandise sold at promotional and off-price discounts translated into
 
▪  
a 14.5% or $2.4 million decrease (from $16.6 million in 2003) in the dollar volumes of those sales;
 
▪  
an 37.5% or $0.3 million increase in gross profit (from $0.8 million in 2003; and
 
▪  
a 2.9% increase to 7.7% in gross profit margins (from 4.8% in 2003).
 
·  
A price increase in the second half of 2004. The Company increased the selling prices of all of its merchandise by approximately 5% (on average) during the second half of 2004. This resulted in an increase in sales (which is included in the increase of dollar volume increases discussed above) and in gross profit of approximately $2.2 million in 2004.
 
Comparison of the relative changes in sales of T-Shirts, on the one hand, and Jeans & Tops on the other, revealed, the following:
 
·  
Gross unit sales of T-Shirts at regular prices (average selling price of $12-$15 per unit) remained relatively unchanged at 0.7 million units in 2004 and 2003 and represented $1.8 million of the total increase in goods sold at regular prices in 2004. The gross margin associated with these sales increased to 51.8% in 2004 compared to 46.8% in 2003 and represented a gross profit increase of $1.4 million in 2004 over 2003.
 
·  
Gross unit sales of Jeans & Tops at regular prices (average selling price of $28-$33 per unit) increased by 35.7% to 1.9 million units in 2004 compared to 1.4 million units in 2003, and represented $20.6 million of the total increase in goods sold at regular prices in 2004 over the sales of those products made at regular prices in 2003. The gross margin associated with these sales increased to 47.6% in 2004 compared to 45.4% in 2003 and represented a gross profit increase of $10.8 million in 2004 over 2003.
 
Selling, Distribution, General and Administrative Expenses.
 
Operating expenses increased 20.0% to $25.2 million in 2004 from $21.0 million in 2003. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased slightly to 31.3% from 32.7% over the same period. The increase in operating expenses resulted primarily from higher selling expenses and licensing fees associated with higher sales as well as an increase in administrative expenses. Selling expenses increased $0.9 million to $10.4 million in 2004 primarily as a result of higher commissions earned on higher net sales. Commission expense was $2.8 million in 2004 compared to $2.2 million in 2003. Sales salaries increased $0.3 million to $1.2 million in 2004 over 2003. Advertising and promotional related expenses remained relatively unchanged at $1.8 million in 2004 and 2003. License fees increased $1.1 million to $5.3 million in 2004 from $4.2 million in 2003. As a percentage of net sales, license fees remained relatively unchanged at 6.6% compared to 6.5% during the same periods. The increase in license fees was primarily due to the increase in net sales levels resulting in royalty payment obligations in excess of the 2004 minimum guaranteed royalty payments. Distribution and shipping decreased $0.1 million to $2.0 million in 2004 from $2.1 million in 2003. General and administrative expenses increased 44.2% to $7.5 million in 2004 from $5.2 million in 2003. The increase was attributable to an increase in personnel and related costs in 2004. The increase in personnel costs was the result of a $1.0 million increase in salaries associated with the restructuring of the Company’s management in 2003 and bonuses paid or accrued of $1.3 million based on the Company’s 2004 performance.

Operating Income.
 
Operating income was $5.8 million in 2004 compared to an operating loss of $0.8 million in 2003. This improvement was due to the overall increases in sales and in the gross profit margin and was partially offset by the higher operating expenses as noted above.
 
Interest Expense.
 
Interest expense decreased 30.0% to $0.7 million in 2004 from $1.0 million in 2003 as a result of decreased borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The decrease in borrowings was the result of improved cash flow due to increased accounts receivable and inventory turnover. Interest income earned in 2004 and 2003 was insignificant.
 
Income Taxes.
 
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $41.3 million, which begin to expire in 2013. In prior years, no tax benefit was allowed due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income at that time. As a result of the income the Company generated in 2004, the Company’s management reevaluated its net operating losses and the related valuation reserves and has recognized a net income tax benefit of $1.0 million in 2004.
 
Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2002
 
Net Sales and gross profit
 
Net sales increased 1.3% to $64.3 million in 2003 from $63.5 million in 2002. Net sales of Girbaud men’s sportswear increased $1.1 million or 2.0% to $55.4 million. Net sales of Girbaud women’s sportswear decreased $0.3 million or 3.3% to $8.9 million.
 
Gross profit decreased 5.1% to $20.6 million in 2003 from $21.7 million in 2002. Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 32.0% from 34.2% over the same period. The decrease in gross profit resulted from sales to off-price retailers at reduced selling prices and an increase in air freight costs affecting gross profit margins in 2003. In an effort to decrease the inventory level and to generate cash for first quarter 2003 working capital needs, the Company generated significant sales early in 2003 to a mass retailer at gross profit margins significantly below the margins on goods that are sold to department and specialty stores. To properly reflect inventory at its net realizable value at the end of the prior year, the Company had an inventory writedown of $1.8 million at December 31, 2002. Accordingly, this generated minimal gross profit associated with these sales to the mass retailer in the first quarter of 2003. The Company’s inventory writedown at the end of 2003 was $0.3 million. To help identify inventory shortages as well as excess inventory, the Company monitors inventory levels by product category on a weekly basis. Personnel look at recent sales data and order backlog to help identify slow moving inventory items. Further, sales managers continually discuss product turnover and sales forecasts with sales personnel to aid in identifying product shortages and overages. Based on the information available, the Company believes the inventory writedowns were appropriate at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Gross units sold increased slightly (by 5.9%) to 3.6 million units in 2003 from 3.4 million units 2002. Gross sales (sales before adjustment for returns and allowances) decreased slightly to $68.5 million in 2003 compared to $69.3 million in 2002. The related gross margins on these sales (unadjusted for returns and allowances) decreased $4.6 million to $24.5 million in 2004 from $29.1 million in 2003. Returns and allowances decreased to 6.1% of gross sales in 2003 from 8.3% in 2002 as the Company experienced more returns from its customers and provided less price adjustments to its retail stores in 2004 compared to 2003. The main contributing factors to the decrease in gross sales and gross profit notwithstanding the slight increase in the unit volume of sales were as follows:
 
·  
Reductions in the unit and dollar volumes of goods sold at regular prices - A decrease of 19.2% in unit sales of goods sold at regular prices (both T-Shirts and Jeans & Tops) to 2.1 million units in 2003 compared to 2.6 million units in 2002. That decrease in unit volumes of regular priced merchandise resulted in
 
▪  
a 13.8% or $8.3 million decrease (from $60.2 million in 2002) in the dollar volume of sales;
 
▪  
a 17.4% or $5.0 million decrease (from $28.7 million in 2002) in gross profit; and
 
▪  
a 2.0% decrease in gross profit margins to 45.7% from 47.7% in 2002.
 
·  
Increases in the unit and dollar volumes of goods sold at promotional and off-price discounts - An increase of 87.5% in unit sales of goods sold at promotional and off-price discounts (both T-Shirts and Jeans & Tops) to 1.5 million units in 2003 compared to 0.8 million units in 2002. That reduction in unit volumes of merchandise sold at promotional and off-price discounts translated into
 
▪  
an 82.4% or $7.5 million increase (from $24.1 million in 2002) in the dollar volumes of those sales;
 
▪  
a 100% or $0.4 million increase in gross profit (from $0.4 million) 2002; and
 
▪  
a 1.1% increase in gross profit margins to 4.8% from 3.7% in 2002.
 
Selling, Distribution, General and Administrative Expenses.
 
Selling, distribution, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 17.7% to $21.4 million in 2003 from $26.0 million in 2002. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 33.3% from 40.4% over the same period due to overall reduced expenses. Selling expenses decreased 17.4% to $9.5 million from $11.5 million mainly due to decreases in advertising expense of and in commission expense. Commission expense was $2.2 million in 2003 compared to $2.6 million in 2003. Sales salaries decreased $0.5 million to $0.8 million in 2003 over 2002. Advertising expenses decreased $1.2 million to $0.6 million in 2003 from $1.8 million in 2002. License fees decreased 16.0% to $4.2 million in 2003 from $5.0 million in 2002. As a percentage of net sales, license fees decreased to 6.5% from 7.9%. The decrease in license fees as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the $0.5 million reduction of the 2003 minimum royalty payment. In February 2003, Latitude and the Company agreed to reduce the 2003 minimum guaranteed annual royalty payments by $450,000. The Company is obligated to pay the greater of actual royalties earned on net sales of the men’s and women’s Girbaud product offering or minimum guaranteed annual royalties through 2007 of $3,000,000 for men’s and $1,500,000 for women’s. Distribution and shipping expenses decreased 12.5% to $2.1 million in 2003 from $2.4 million in 2002 due to efficiencies and cost reductions achieved at the Company’s distribution center. General and administrative expenses decreased 26.8% to $5.2 million in 2003 from $7.1 million in 2002 due to an overall decrease of $0.4 million in salary expense, and a $0.8 million decrease in professional, consulting and other fees. In 2002, the Company recorded an accrual of $0.4 million for severance associated with the resignation of its former CEO at the end of 2002. Also, during 2003, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $0.4 million on the disposal of property it had purchased in 1998 for a planned expansion of its distribution facility. This expansion never occurred and the Company decided to sell the property.

Operating Loss.
 
Operating loss decreased to $0.8 million in 2003 from $4.3 million in 2002. This improvement is due to a decrease in operating expenses offset slightly by a decrease in gross profit in 2003.
 
Interest Expense.
 
Interest expense increased 42.9% to $1.0 million in 2003 from $0.7 million in 2002 as a result of increased borrowings on the revolving line of credit as well as an increase in the interest rate charged by the lender during 2003. Interest income earned in 2003 and 2002 was insignificant.
 
Income Taxes.
 
The Company has estimated its annual effective tax rate at 0% based on its estimate of pre-tax loss for 2003. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $45.6 million, which begin to expire in 2013, for income tax reporting purposes for which no income tax benefit has been recorded due to the uncertainty over the level of future taxable income.
 
 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company has relied primarily on asset based borrowings, trade credit and internally generated funds to finance its operations. The Company increased its accounts receivable $0.1 million and its inventory $4.5 during 2004. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $5.3 million during 2004. Cash and cash equivalents held by the Company increased to $1.0 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $0.8 million at December 31, 2003 while its working capital increased to $8.6 million at December 31, 2004 from $4.6 million at December 31, 2003. A decrease in demand for the Company’s products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s working capital.
 
Operating Cash Flow.
 
Cash provided by operations totaled $6.2 million in 2004 compared to $1.3 million in 2003. The improvement in 2004 was due primarily to the substantial increase in the Company’s operating income. Cash used in investing activities totaled $1.9 million mainly due to capital improvements associated with the new offices and showrooms in New York. Cash provided by investing activities during 2003 was insignificant, totaling $0.1 million. Cash used in financing activities totaled $4.1 million in 2004 resulting primarily from the pay down of the revolving line of credit, cash on deposit to secure a letter of credit related to the new offices and showrooms, and a decrease in overdrafts. This was partially offset by payments for common stock issued on the exercise of options previously granted.
 
11

 
Inventories increased $4.5 million from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004, compared to a decrease of $2.6 million from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003. With the implementation of the optimal calendar, the Company’s management also decided to secure its product in its distribution facility by the end of the month prior to the month it expects to deliver to its retail customers. Therefore, the increase in 2004 inventory levels was the result of the Company’s efforts to meet higher sales demands and to improve its deliveries to retailers.
 
Credit Facilities
 
On December 30, 2004, the Company entered into a three year credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia”). The Credit Facility provides that the Company may borrow up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and a portion of eligible inventory, both as defined by the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may not exceed $25.0 million including outstanding letters of credit which are limited to $8.0 million at any one time. There were approximately $3.1 million of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2004. The Credit Facility accords to the Company the right, at its election, to borrow these amounts as either Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Prime Rate Loans bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time. LIBOR Loans are limited to three in total, must be a minimum of $1,000,000 each and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount, and bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time. The applicable margins, as defined by the Credit Facility, fluctuate from 0.00% to 0.75% for the Prime Loans and 2.00% to 2.75% for LIBOR Loans. The applicable margins are inversely affected by fluctuations in the amount of “excess availability” - the unused portion of the amount available under the facility - which are in staggered increments from less then $2.5 million to $7.5 million. The Prime Rate and the LIBOR Rate were 5.00% and 3.10% respectively at December 31, 2004. All the amounts borrowed under the credit facility at December 31, 2004 were Prime Rate Loans and the effective rate was 7.0% at that time. Starting in 2005, the Credit Facility will also require the Company to comply with certain covenants expressed as fixed charge coverage ratios and tangible liability to net worth ratios. As collateral security for its obligations under the Credit Facility, Isaacs and the LP granted a first priority security interest in all of their respective assets to Wachovia. The Company paid $79,379 as a facility fee to Wachovia in connection with the consummation of the Credit Facility. That fee will be amortized over the life of the Credit Facility.
 
Prior to December 30, 2004, the Company had an asset-based revolving line of credit (the "Credit Agreement") with Congress Financial Corporation ("Congress"). This Credit Agreement, as amended, provided that the Company could have borrowed up to 80.0% of net eligible accounts receivable and a portion of inventory. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement could not exceed $20.0 million, including outstanding letters of credit which were limited to either $4.0 million or $6.0 million at various times during the year. These borrowings bore interest at the lender’s prime rate of interest plus 2.25% (effectively 6.50% at December 30, 2004). In connection with amending the Credit Agreement in December 2002, March 2003 and November 2003, the Company paid and deferred certain financing fees and either expensed as paid or amortized them over the remaining life of the amended Credit Agreement, December 2003.
 
On May 6, 2002, Textile acquired a note that the Company had issued to a former licensor. On May 21, 2002, Textile exchanged that note for an amended and restated note bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum, (the “Replacement Note”), which subordinated Textile’s rights under the note to the rights of Congress under the Credit Agreement, deferred the original note’s principal payments and extended the maturity date of the note until 2007. In connection with the execution of the Credit Facility, the Replacement Note was further amended and restated to subordinate Textile’s rights to the rights of Wachovia under the Credit Facility (the “Amended and Restated Replacement Note”). Pursuant to the subordination provisions of the Replacement Note, the Company was obligated to defer the payments that otherwise would have been due thereunder in December 2002, and during each calendar quarter of 2003 and 2004. Also, pursuant to the provisions of the Replacement Note, the non-payment and deferral of those payments did not constitute a default thereunder. The Replacement Note has been classified as current or long-term based upon the respective original due dates of the quarterly payments specified in the Replacement Note. Accordingly, each deferred quarterly payment has been classified as current even though the payment thereof may not be due until a future year.

The Company extends credit to its customers. Accordingly, the Company may have significant risk in collecting accounts receivable from its customers. The Company has credit policies and procedures which it uses to minimize exposure to credit losses. The Company’s collection personnel regularly contact customers with receivable balances outstanding beyond 30 days to expedite collection. If these collection efforts are unsuccessful, the Company may discontinue merchandise shipments until the outstanding balance is paid. Ultimately, the Company may engage an outside collection organization to collect past due accounts. Timely contact with customers has been effective in minimizing its credit losses. In 2004 and 2003, the Company’s credit losses were $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and as a percentage of net sales were 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had $0.2 million of borrowings under its revolving line of credit and outstanding letters of credit of approximately $3.1 million under the Credit Agreement.
 
The Company believes that current levels of cash and cash equivalents ($1.0 million at December 31, 2004) together with cash from operations and funds available under its Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to meet its capital requirements for the next 12 months.
 
Inflation
 
The Company does not believe that the relatively moderate rates of inflation experienced in the United States over the last year have had a significant effect on its net sales or profitability. Although higher rates of inflation have been experienced in a number of foreign countries in which the Company’s products are manufactured, the Company does not believe that they have had a material effect on the Company’s net sales or profitability.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a proposed statement, "Share-Based Payment", which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The proposed statement would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and generally would require instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees and directors to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, using prescribed option-pricing models. The Company will adopt Statement 123(R) on July 1, 2005. From and after that date, pro forma disclosure will no longer be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)'s fair value method may have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosures included in Summary of Accounting Policies - Stock Options of the financial statements. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
14

 
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs," which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) by requiring these items to be recognized as current-period charges. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, which amends APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (SFAS No. 153), which requires a nonmonetary exchange of assets be accounted for at fair value, recognizing any gain or loss, if the exchange meets a commercial substance criterion and fair value is determinable. The commercial substance criterion is assessed by comparing the entity's expected cash flows immediately before and after the exchange. This eliminates the "similar productive assets exception," which accounts for the exchange of assets at book value with no recognition of gain or loss. Statement 153 will be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
ITEM 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
In accordance with the responsibilities of the Company’s management responsibilities for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting, the Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that:
 
·  
information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports
 
§  
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms,
 
§  
is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure,
 
·  
the Company’s transactions are properly authorized;
 
·  
the Company’s assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and
 
·  
the Company’s transactions are properly recorded and reported,
 
all to permit the preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
The Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Report on Form 10-K. Among other matters, the Company sought in its evaluation to determine whether there were any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and whether it had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in the implementation of those controls and procedures.
 
15

 
Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when the Company’s periodic reports are being prepared. 
 
There were no changes in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 that materially affected, or that were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
I.C. Isaacs & Company, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of I.C. Isaacs & Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of I.C. Isaacs & Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

I.C. Isaacs & Company, Inc. 
Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of I. C. Isaacs & Company, Inc. ("ICI"), I.C. Isaacs & Company, L.P. (the "Partnership"), Isaacs Design, Inc. ("Design") and I.C. Isaacs Far East Ltd. (collectively the "Company"). I.C. Isaacs Far East Ltd. did not have any significant revenue or expenses in 2004, 2003 and 2002. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Business Description

The Company, which operates in one business segment, is a designer and marketer of branded jeanswear and sportswear. The Company offers collections of jeanswear and sportswear for men and women under the Marithé and François Girbaud brand (“Girbaud brand”) in the United States and Puerto Rico. The Girbaud brand is an internationally recognized designer label with a distinct European influence. The Company has positioned its Girbaud brand line with a broad assortment of products, styles and fabrications reflecting a contemporary European look. The Company markets a full collection of men’s and women’s jeanswear and sportswear under the Girbaud brand, including a broad array of bottoms, tops and outerwear. 

Risks and Uncertainties

The apparel industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with many companies, including larger, well capitalized companies which have sought to increase market share through massive consumer advertising and price reductions. The Company continues to experience increased competition from many established and new competitors at both the department store and specialty store channels of distribution. The Company continues to redesign its jeanswear and sportswear lines in an effort to be competitive and compatible with changing consumer tastes. Also, the Company has developed and implemented marketing initiatives to promote its Girbaud brand. A risk to the Company is that such a strategy may lead to continued pressure on profit margins. In the past several years, many of the Company’s competitors have switched much of their apparel manufacturing from the United States to foreign locations such as Mexico, the Dominican Republic and throughout Asia. As competitors lower production costs, it gives them greater flexibility to lower prices. Over the last several years, the Company also switched its production to contractors outside the United States to reduce costs. Since 2001, the Company has imported substantially all its inventory, excluding t-shirts, as finished goods from contractors in Asia. This shift in purchasing requires the Company to estimate sales and issue purchase orders for inventory well in advance of receiving firm orders from its customers. A risk to the Company is that its sales estimates may differ from actual orders. If this happens, the Company may miss sales because it did not order enough inventory, or it may have to sell excess inventory at reduced prices. The Company faces other risks inherent in the apparel industry. These risks include changes in fashion trends and related consumer acceptance and the continuing consolidation in the retail segment of the apparel industry. The Company’s ability, or inability, to manage these risk factors could influence future financial and operating results.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions, particularly regarding valuation of accounts receivable and inventory, recognition of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
F-6

 
Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company’s customer base is not concentrated in any specific geographic region, but is concentrated in the retail industry. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, sales to one customer were $7,713,000, $5,156,000, and $5,302,000. These amounts constitute 9.6%, 8.0% and 8.3% of total sales, respectively. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The Company’s actual credit losses as a percentage of net sales were 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.8% for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Company is also subject to concentrations of credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents, which it minimizes by placing these funds with high-quality institutions. The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to letter of credit agreements, but it does not expect any financial institutions to fail to meet their obligation given their high credit rating.

Revenue Recognition

Net revenue is recognized upon the transfer of title and risk of ownership to customers. Revenue is recorded net of discounts, as well as provisions for estimated returns and allowances. On a seasonal basis, the Company negotiates price adjustments with its retail customers as sales incentives. The Company estimates the cost of such adjustments on an ongoing basis considering historical trends, projected seasonal results and an evaluation of current economic conditions. Beginning for the year ended December 31, 2004, these costs have been recorded as a reduction to net revenue and all prior period information has been reclassified to reflect this change. These amounts, which were previously classified as selling expenses in prior years, were $3,777,084, $1,919,809 and $2,276,833 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively. This change has no effect on net income or loss in any period presented.

Sales are recognized upon shipment of products. Allowances for estimated returns are provided by the Company when sales are recorded by reviewing trends and returns on a historical basis. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are classified in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs incurred are classified in distribution and shipping in the consolidated statements of operations.

Cost of Goods Sold and Operating Expenses

The Company includes in cost of goods sold all costs and expenses related to obtaining merchandise incurred prior to the receipt of finished goods at the Company’s distribution facilities. These costs include, but are not limited to, product cost, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs and internal transfer costs, as well as insurance, duties, brokers’ fees and consolidators’ fees. The Company includes in selling, general and administrative expenses costs incurred subsequent to the receipt of finished goods at its distribution facilities, such as the cost of picking and packing goods for delivery to customers. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses include product design costs, selling and store service costs, marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.
 
F-7

 
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. 

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets by the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the shorter of the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement.

Asset Impairment

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than the carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. 

Stock Options

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure - An Amendment to FAS No. 123" ("SFAS 148"), but applies the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 for stock options granted to employees. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based on the fair value at the grant dates, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 148, net loss per share would have been changed to the pro forma amount indicated below. Effective June, 2005, the Company will be required to recognize this compensation expense. The Company anticipates 2005 expense to be approximately $50,000 for options currently granted.

For stock options granted to employees in 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company estimated the fair value of each option granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.04%, 2.75%, 2.46%, 2.78%, 2.91% and 3.96% for options to purchase 25,000, 500,000, 175,000, 225,000, 25,000 and 220,000 shares granted in March 2004, December 2003, July 2003, March 2003, February 2003 and December 2002, respectively, expected volatility of 75%, expected option life of 5 years and no dividend payments for 2004 or 2003. Using these assumptions, the per share fair value of each of such option grants was $0.55 for the March 2004 grant, $0.60, $0.86, $0.42 and $0.42, for the December, July, March and February, 2003 grants, respectively, and $0.47 for the December 2002 grant.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs, included in selling expenses, are expensed as incurred and were $749,908 $559,966, and $1,975,405 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively.

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, all temporary investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109, deferred taxes are determined using the liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement and the income tax basis using presently enacted tax rates. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments of the Company include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments and long and short-term debt.  Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments and short-term debt approximate cost due to the short period of time to maturity.  Based upon the current borrowing rates available to the Company, estimated fair values of long-term debt approximate their recorded amounts.

Net Income or Loss Per Share

Net income or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In 2004, diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. There were outstanding employee stock options of 1,590,817, 2,070,250, and 1,306,250, at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively and outstanding warrants of 500,000 at the end of 2004, 2003 and 2002. For 2004, all options and warrants were included in the diluted net income per share calculation. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same during 2003 and 2002 as these stock options and warrants were excluded from the computation of net loss per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
 
F-9

 
Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. The Company has no items of comprehensive income to report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a proposed statement, "Share-Based Payment", which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The proposed statement would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and generally would require instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of Statement 123. Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees and directors to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, using prescribed option-pricing models. The Company will adopt Statement 123(R) on July 1, 2005. From and after that date, pro forma disclosure will no longer be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)'s fair value method may have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosures included in the Summary of Accounting Policies - Stock Options. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. The Company continues to monitor the potential impact of the proposed statement on its financial condition and results of operations.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs," which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) by requiring these items to be recognized as current-period charges. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, which amends APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (SFAS No. 153), which requires a nonmonetary exchange of assets be accounted for at fair value, recognizing any gain or loss, if the exchange meets a commercial substance criterion and fair value is determinable. The commercial substance criterion is assessed by comparing the entity's expected cash flows immediately before and after the exchange. This eliminates the "similar productive assets exception," which accounts for the exchange of assets at book value with no recognition of gain or loss. Statement 153 will be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

(a)    
On December 30, 2004, the Company entered into a three year credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia”). The Credit Facility provides that the Company may borrow, using as collateral, up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and a portion of eligible inventory, both as defined by the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may not exceed $25.0 million including outstanding letters of credit which are limited to $8.0 million at any one time. There were approximately $3.1 million of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2004. The Credit Facility accords to the Company the right, at its election, to borrow these amounts as either Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Prime Rate Loans bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time. LIBOR Loans are limited to three in total, must be a minimum of $1,000,000 each and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount, and bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time. The applicable margins, as defined by the Credit Facility, fluctuate from 0.00% to 0.75% for the Prime Loans and 2.00% to 2.75% for LIBOR Loans. The applicable margins are inversely affected by fluctuations in the amount of “excess availability” - the unused portion of the amount available under the facility - which are in staggered increments from less then $2.5 million to $7.5 million. The Prime Rate and the LIBOR Rate were 5.00% and 3.10% respectively at December 31, 2004. All the amounts borrowed under the credit facility at December 31, 2004 were Prime Rate Loans and the effective rate was 7.0% at that time. Starting in 2005, the Credit Facility also requires the Company to comply with certain covenants expressed as fixed charge coverage ratios and tangible liability to net worth ratios. As collateral security for its obligations under the Credit Facility, the Isaacs and the LP granted a first priority security interest in all of their respective assets to Wachovia. The Company paid $79,379 as a facility fee to Wachovia in connection with the consummation of the Credit Facility. That fee is deferred and will be amortized over the life of the Credit Facility.
 
(b)    
Prior to December 30, 2004, the Company had an asset-based revolving line of credit (the "Credit Agreement") with Congress Financial Corporation ("Congress"). This Credit Agreement, as amended, provided that the Company could have borrowed up to 80.0% of net eligible accounts receivable and a portion of inventory. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement could not exceed $20.0 million, including outstanding letters of credit which were limited to either $4.0 million or $6.0 million at various times during the year. These borrowings bore interest at the lender’s prime rate of interest plus 2.25% (effectively 6.50% at December 30, 2004). In connection with amending the Credit Agreement in December 2002, March 2003 and November 2003, the Company paid and deferred certain financing fees and either expensed as paid or amortized them over the remaining life of the amended Credit Agreement. The Company expensed or amortized $125,000 and $250,000 of these fees in 2004 and 2003.

On May 6, 2002, Textile Investment International S.A. (“Textile”), an affiliate of Latitude Licensing Corp. (“Latitude”), the licensor of the Company, acquired a note that the Company had issued to a former licensor. On May 21, 2002, Textile exchanged that note for an amended and restated note bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum, (the “Replacement Note”), which subordinated Textile’s rights under the note to the rights of Congress under the Credit Agreement, deferred the original note’s principal payments and extended the maturity date of the note until 2007. In connection with the execution of the Credit Facility, the Replacement Note was further amended and restated to subordinate Textile’s rights to the rights of Wachovia under the Credit Facility (the “Amended and Restated Replacement Note”). Pursuant to the subordination provisions of the Replacement Note, the Company was obligated to defer the payments that otherwise would have been due thereunder in December 2002, and during each calendar quarter of 2003 and 2004. Also, pursuant to the provisions of the Replacement Note, the non-payment and deferral of those payments did not constitute a default thereunder. The Replacement Note has been classified as current or long-term based upon the respective original due dates of the quarterly payments specified in the Replacement Note. Accordingly, each deferred quarterly payment has been classified as current even though the payment thereof may not be due until a future year.

At December 31, 2004, long-term debt maturities were as follows:

5. Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $41,269,000 and $45,163,000 respectively, which represent deferred tax assets of approximately $15,908,000 and $20,490,000 respectively. These net operating losses begin to expire in 2014. Through 2003, no income tax benefit had been recorded due to the uncertainty over the Company’s ability to generate taxable income beyond 2003. As a result of the income the Company generated in 2004, the Company’s management reevaluated its net operating losses and the related valuation allowances and has recognized a net income tax benefit of $1,045,000 for 2004.

9. Retirement Plan

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees with more than one year of service. The Company’s policy is to fund pension costs accrued. Contributions to the plan reflect benefits attributed to employees’ service to date, as well as service expected to be earned in the future. The benefits are based on the number of years of service and the employee’s compensation during the three consecutive complete years of service prior to or including the year of termination of employment. Plan assets consist primarily of common stocks, fixed income securities and cash. The latest available actuarial valuation is as of December 31, 2004. Pension expense for 2004, 2003 and 2002 was approximately $446,000, $349,000, and $244,000 respectively, and includes the following components:

Earnings (loss) per share calculations for each of the quarters are based on the weighted average shares outstanding for each period. The sum of the quarters may not necessarily be equal to the full year earnings per share amounts.
 
The above quarterly financial data reflects the reclassification of the allowances provided to its retail customers as price adjustments as a reduction of net sales. These amounts were previously classified as selling expenses in prior years. This change has no effect on net income or loss in any period presented.
 
Based on additional guidance issued by the SEC in February 2005, the Company reevaluated the term related to its new lease in New York. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter, the Company recorded an adjustment of $107,000 to recognize additional rent expense. The Company also reduced an accrual for Sarbanes Oxley fees by $100,000 based on actual costs incurred.
