NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Our principal business activity involves the design, development and worldwide marketing of apparel products, which include denim jeans, related casual wear and accessories bearing the brand name Hudson®, and the design, development, sales and licensing of apparel products and accessories bearing the brand name Robert Graham®. Our primary current operating subsidiaries are Robert Graham, Hudson Clothing, LLC (“Hudson”) and as of July 18, 2016, DFBG Swims, LLC (“DFBG Swims”) (see “Note 18 – Subsequent Events”). In addition, we have other non-operating subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On January 28, 2016, we completed the RG Merger.  We refer you to the “Explanatory Note” on page 1 for the definitions of the capitalized terms used in this Quarterly Report.  As a result of the RG Merger, RG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and RG’s former members own a majority of our issued and outstanding equity. Additionally, the Company owns the Robert Graham Business, no longer owns the Joe’s Business and has retained ownership of the Hudson Business. The RG Merger has been accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization, such that, under the acquisition method, RG has been deemed the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes, with the Company, as the legal acquirer, viewed as the accounting acquiree. As a result, the assets, liabilities and operations reflected in the historical condensed consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report prior to the RG Merger are those of RG and are recorded at the historical cost basis. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include: (i) from January 1, 2016 up to the day prior to the closing of the RG Merger on January 28, 2016, the results of operations and cash flows of RG; and (ii) from and after the RG Merger’s closing date on January 28, 2016, the results of continuing operations and cash flows and, as applicable, the assets and liabilities of the combined company, comprising the Company’s Hudson Business and Robert Graham Business; (iii) from and after the RG Merger’s closing date on January 28, 2016, the results of the discontinued operations from the Joe’s® brand retail stores that were not transferred to GBG but that closed as of February 29, 2016.    

In connection with the RG Merger, we changed our fiscal year end to December 31 and report our results with RG as the accounting acquirer. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation.

Our reportable business segments are Wholesale, Consumer Direct and Corporate and other. Because RG has been accounted for as the accounting acquirer as a result of the RG Merger, we have adopted RG’s three subdivisions as our reportable segments for all operations of our combined Company for periods after the RG Merger’s closing date. For periods before the RG Merger’s closing date, our discussion of reportable segments reflects only the operations of RG.  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 our products to premium department stores, boutiques, retailers, specialty stores and international customers, and records expenses from sales and customer service departments, trade shows, warehouse distribution, product samples and customer service departments. Our Consumer Direct segment is comprised of sales to consumers through our Robert Graham® brand full-price retail stores and outlet stores and through our online retail sites at www.hudsonjeans.com and www.robertgraham.us. Our Corporate and other segment is comprised of revenue from trademark licensing agreements and expenses from corporate operations, which include the executive, finance, legal, information technology, accounting, human resources, design and production departments and general brand marketing and advertising expenses associated with our brands.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which comprise the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (including Hudson from the date of the completion of the RG Merger), for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related footnote information have been prepared on a basis consistent with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the three-year period ended December 31, 2015 (filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2016).  

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information 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  as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the three-year period ended December 31, 2015 contained in Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016. 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 quarterly period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the entire year ending December 31, 2016. 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.
