NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all material
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of
the Company for the interim periods presented.
The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These
financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form
10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended
December 31, 1997.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company contracts for the manufacture of a variety of garments, primarily
basic women's sportswear which includes suits, skirts, blouses, blazers, pants,
shorts, vests and dresses, using assorted fabrics including rayons, linens,
cotton and wool. The Company arranges for the manufacture of garments for
customers under private labels selected by its customers. It markets its
products exclusively in the United States directly to large wholesalers,
directly and indirectly to national retailers and buying organizations and
directly to women's chain clothing stores and catalogues.
Substantially all of the Company's garments are sold on a "package" basis
pursuant to which the Company markets at fixed prices finished garments to the
customer's specifications and quantity requirements, arranges for the production
of the garments and delivers the garments directly to the customer at the port
of entry. In its marketing, the Company emphasizes these package arrangements
and what it believes to be the better quality and lower prices of garments
produced by skilled Macedonian workers as compared to lower paid workers in
certain other regions.
As a package provider, the Company sources and purchases fabrics and trims,
arranges for cutting and sewing, and coordinates any other services required to
provide a completed garment. Since the Company manufactures its finished
products only upon receipt of purchase orders from its wholesale and retail
customers, it therefore does not maintain an inventory of finished products. The
Company believes that in this way it minimizes the marketing and fashion risk
generally associated with the apparel industry.
Fabrics and trims are purchased from suppliers in China, India, Russia, Romania,
Italy and the United States. After dying the fabric, if necessary, the fabric
and trim are shipped to factories selected by the Company (primarily located in
Macedonia) where they are manufactured into completed garments under the
Company's management and quality control guidance. The finished products are
then shipped directly to New York City where the Company's customers claim the
goods either at the port in New York City or at a consolidating warehouse in
Astoria, New York.
Except for historical information contained herein, the matters set forth may
include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainty
that may cause actual results to differ materially. Such forward-looking
statements that may be contained in this document could include in particular
statements concerning business back-logs, operating efficiencies and capacities,
capital spending, and other expenses.
Among other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the
following; dependence upon unaffiliated manufacturers and fabric suppliers,
dependence on certain customers, foreign operations, competition, risks
associated with significant growth, uncertainties in apparel industry, general
economic conditions, seasonality, political instability, concentration of
accounts receivable and possible fluctuations in operating results
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage
relationship to net revenues of certain items in the Company's statements;

</TABLE>
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 ("1998") COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 ("1997")
"During August of 1998, the Company noted that accounts payable were
overstated as a result of the duplication in recording certain material
purchases during the six months ended June 30, 1998. The Company deleted the
duplication, effectively reducing cost of goods sold by $574,000.
Consequently, income as originally reported in the form 10-QSB for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 was overstated by $574,000. The amended form
10-QSB reflects an adjustment to increase cost of goods sold and decrease
inventory by $574,000 thereby reducing gross profit and income from
operations by $574,000. Prior to the three months ended September 30, 1998,
the Company used the gross profit method for determining quarterly ending
inventory balances. The Company took a physical inventory as of September
30, 1998, and the Company is currently in the process of implementing a
perpetual inventory system. An adjustment to increase inventory and decrease
cost of goods sold by $194,000 is reflected in the Form 10-QSB, thereby
increasing gross profit and income from operations by $194,000. These
inaccuracies, resulting in a net overstatement of income from operations of
$380,000, were the result of the Company not having formal procedures for
accounting for letter of credit activity. The Company began to use letters
of credit to finance inventory purchases during the three months ended March
31, 1998. To insure that this problem will not recur, the Company has
adopted formal procedures for the accounting for letters of credit and
related inventory, and has assigned the responsibility for this accounting
function to a member of senior management."
SALES
Sales for 1998 were $24,719,323 which represented an increase of $11,692,423 or
89.8% over 1997 net sales of $13,026,900. The growth in sales was primarily
attributable to increased purchases by existing customers and from new
customers. The Company currently has fifty (50) customers up from six (6) at the
year ended December 31, 1997. Four customers represented 70% of the Companys
accounts receivable (22%, 22%, 13% and 13% respectively). The Company continues
to add new customers and believes that going forward those concentrations will
continue to decrease.
Generally, the Company receives relatively small initial orders from new
customers. As the relationship with the customer continues, the purchase orders
often increase substantially. Net sales increases during the period reflected
these increased customer orders. The Company expects sales to increase in the
future near-term quarters, but believes that those increases in sales will not
necessarily be at the same rate as the Company has been experiencing
historically either in terms of percentage or dollar increases.
During the period sales were adversely impacted by customer-initiated discounts
due to the unseasonably hot weather in New York (weather in excess of 100
degrees). This is during the season when the weather is historically much cooler
and when wool suits, blazers and pants are traditionally sold,. Warm weather
impacted the demand and the Company's customers had to offer deep discounts in
order to move their wool garments. Those customers in turn asked those discounts
be passed on to the Company.
The Company of course can not predict the extent to which the unseasonably warm
weather might continue or that the weather experienced in New York this year
represents a long-term change in weather patterns in that region. The Company
continues to evaluate the situation with
<PAGE>
the intent of developing strategies to mitigate any impact those changes might
have on the Company.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
Cost of goods sold in 1998 was $21,672,145 or 87.7% of sales, an increase of
$10,547,173 from $11,124,972 or 85.4% of sales in 1997. The increase in cost of
goods sold was primarily attributable to increases in costs related to
technicians, freight, inspection, merchandise repairs, customs duties and sample
expenses.
One of the Companys customers has instituted new quality control procedures. The
customer now independently checks all of its suppliers finished goods for
compliance with the specifications on its original purchase orders. Their
quality control procedures result in costs spread over three different areas,
inspection, quality control and merchandise repair costs. The customer is now
passing those costs arising from those new procedures along to its suppliers and
as a result this is impacting the costs associated with the production of goods
for that customer.
The Company believes that there is an industry-wide shift to higher levels of
quality control and the implementation of more detailed levels of regular and
more thorough quality control checking procedures. The Company can not predict
at this time to what extent the costs related to any change in customers quality
control checking procedures, should they arise, might impact the Companys costs
of production for those customers.
As is usual and customary when using a new factory, there is always a learning
curve process which results in some impact on quality control. Those problems
that occur during this process give rise to costs associated with the cost to
correct those problems. The Company expects costs of quality control learning
curve issues to arise whenever it enters a new factory. Accordingly, costs
associated with new factories at the beginning of the production relationship
normally result in merchandise repair costs to correct the early procedural
learning process that results in some garments produced outside of
specifications.
During the period the Company recorded what it believes to be non-recurring
charges. These charges are directly related to the changing demand resulting
from the devaluation of the dollar, material changes in weather patterns on the
east coast and orders received later in the season than historically that
impacted the period. As a result, the Company had to hire additional technicians
at significant increased cost to manage the shifts required in production to,
among other things, decrease the turnaround time. As a result of tight
production and delivery schedules, the Company also had to utilize less
cost-effective means of finished good transport relying more heavily on air
freight forwarders compared to the preferred and normal mode of transportation,
namely by ship.
The Company is currently working to manage the costs in all of the
above-mentioned areas, technicians, air freight and order and production timing.
The Company believes that the cost-cutting and working on improving efficiencies
in these areas could result in some related charges through the next quarter or
possibly two quarters. It believes any negative impact on the Company's
financial performance could be offset by its continually increasing customer
base and top-line sales growth.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit was $3,047,178 for 1998, an increase of $1,145,250 from $1,901,928
for 1997. The gross profit percentage was 12.35% in 1998, a decrease of 2.3%
from 14.6% in 1997. The reasons for the decrease of the gross profit in the
third quarter are explained in detail in the section above. The Company
believes, notwithstanding the issues mentioned above that the deterioration of
the gross profit, again, could possibly be offset by its penetration of the
retail distribution channel where profit margins are traditionally higher than
in the wholesale distribution
<PAGE>
channel. The wholesale distribution channel is where the Company currently
conducts a substantial portion of its business. There can, however, be no
guaranty that any decrease in the Companys profit margin will be offset by
increases in the margins of goods sold to customers in the retail distribution
channel.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $1,486,562 or 6.0% of
sales for 1998, an increase of $888,875 from $597,687 or 4.6% of sales for 1997.
The increase in G&A expense levels was primarily attributable to increases in
commission, salaries, professional fees, insurance, bank charges, rent,
printing, promotion and marketing, depreciation, dues and subscriptions and
factor charges.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for 1998 was $70,277 compared to $50,501 for 1997. The increase
in interest was primarily attributable to the increase in the utilization of
lines of credit.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes was $695,250 and $506,871 for 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The increase in the provision for income taxes for the 1998 was
primarily attributable to increased earnings.
LIQUIDITY
The Company has 575,000 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $7.50 per
warrant expiring September 23, 2002. The Company has 50,000 underwriter warrants
outstanding with an exercise price of $14.40 per unit. Each unit consists of two
shares of the Company's common stock and one warrant as described above. The
Company does not know whether the warrants will be exercised in 1998. Without
exercise of those warrants, the Company may need to limit its growth in order to
more efficiently manage its available funds and funds generated by operations.
It is the Company's intention, however, to utilize more fully and possibly
increase its existing line of credit with a major lending institution and its
credit facility arrangement with a New York factoring company. These measures
are required due to the significant cash requirements related to increases in
revenues.
The Company does not expect its historical rate of increase in sales growth to
continue and further expects its rate of growth to be lower in the future as it
begins to reach its full operating capacity constraints and utilization of its
existing capital resources. In the event the Company is able to obtain
additional equity capital through the exercise, if any, of its outstanding
warrants or other increases in potential working capital as mentioned above,
however, the Company believes that this new working capital may allow it to grow
more quickly.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since its formation, the Company has financed its operations and met its capital
requirements primarily in its initial stages of growth through cash flows from
operations and within the last two years more from customer advances, from
principals, credit facilities, bridge loans, a private placement and its IPO,
although the Company of course continues to generate cash flow in its normal
course of business. Due to the Companys high rate of growth, however, it has
been unable to internally generate sufficient working capital to finance that
growth and as a result has had to more recently rely on other sources of
capital. These sources of capital again, consist of credit facilities, favorable
terms from suppliers and customer advances which have aided the Company in
supplying the cash required to supplement the normal cash flow from operations.
<PAGE>
The initial use of IPO funds was to repay certain debt and to purchase raw
materials, for working capital and the eventual purchase of wool manufacturing
equipment. The Company's primary need for cash is for working capital purposes.
The Company may raise capital through the issuance of long-term or short-term
debt, or the issuance of securities in private or public transactions to fund
future expansion of its business. There can be no assurance that acceptable
financing for future transactions can be obtained.
INFLATION
As a direct result of deteriorating global financial markets, the Company
expects the U.S. dollar to be adversely impacted over the short-term. All of the
Company's transactions worldwide are conducted on a dollar-denominated basis
which was intended to mitigate the possible impact of volatile currencies that
may have arisen as a result of global corporations crowding emerging markets in
search of growth. What has occurred more recently is that the dollar has
weakened due to the financial crises in Asia and Russia.
The Company can not predict at this time the extent to which the continuing
global financial crises will impact the Company, in either a minimally or
materially adverse way. It is clear, however, that the Companys cost of goods
could be adversely impacted in an economic environment where the weakening of
the U.S. dollar would require the Company to spend more dollars to purchase
goods now, compared to similar purchases that required correspondingly fewer
dollars historically.
SEASONALITY
The Company's revenues and operating results have exhibited some degree of
seasonality in past periods. Typically, the Company experiences its highest
sales in the first and fourth quarters and its lowest sales in the second and
third quarters. Due to the recent overall global and economic market conditions,
it is possible that there could be some variability going forward compared to
the historical seasonality of the Company, however, the Company believes that
its higher sales quarters will continue to be the first and fourth quarters.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Many computer systems in use today were designed and developed using two digits,
rather than four, to specify the year. As a result, such systems will recognize
the year 2000 as "00". This could cause many computer applications to fail
completely or to create erroneous results unless corrective measures are taken.
The Company currently uses software and related computer technologies essential
to its operations that the Company believes will not be affected by the year
2000 issue.
The Company, however, can not determine the extent to which its vendors and
customers may or may not be affected by the year 2000 issue. The Company intends
over the next 2 years to establish relationships with customers that may require
the use of EDI (electronic data interchange) whereby all invoicing and payments
will take place electronically over the internet through computers. The Company
believes that since these prospective customers already utilize EDI, that they
either have in place now, or will have successfully taken whatever steps are
necessary to solve the year 2000 issue. The Company can not currently assess the
extent to which vendors and customers inability to become year 2000 compliant
might impact the Company.
