Our reportable business segments are Wholesale and Retail.  We manage, evaluate and aggregate our operating segments for segment reporting purposes primarily on the basis of business activity and operation.  Our Wholesale segment is comprised of sales of Joe’s® and Hudson® products to retailers, specialty stores and international distributors, includes revenue from licensing agreements and records expenses from sales, trade shows, distribution, product samples and customer service departments.  Our Retail segment is comprised of sales to consumers through full price retail stores, outlet stores and through our online retail sites at  www.joesjeans.com and www.hudsonjeans.com.  We opened our first full price retail store in October 2008 in Chicago, Illinois and we currently operate 13 full price retail stores and 20 outlet stores in outlet centers, malls and street locations around the country for our Joe’s® brand.  Our Corporate and other expense is comprised of expenses from corporate operations, which include the executive, finance, legal, human resources, design and production departments and general advertising expenses associated with our brands.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in our Annual Report.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which management considers necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The results for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the entire year ending November 30, 2014.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.
