GFSI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
January 1, 1999
1. Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GFSI, Inc.
(the "Company") include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of its
wholly owned subsidiary, Event 1, Inc. ("Event 1"). All intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited 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 Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual
financial statement reporting purposes. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position and operations of the Company have
been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. For
further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto for
the year ended July 3, 1998 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
K.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Commitments and Contingencies
-----------------------------
The Company, in the normal course of business, may be threatened with or named
as a defendant in various lawsuits. It is not possible to determine the
ultimate disposition of these matters, however, management is of the opinion
that there are no known claims or known contingent claims that are likely to
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial
condition, or cash flows of the Company.
Various state and local taxing authorities have examined, or are in the
process of examining the Company's sales and use tax returns. The Company is
currently reviewing the status and the results of such examinations, including
the methods used by certain state taxing authorities in calculating the sales
tax assessments and believes that it has accrued an amount adequate to cover the
assessments.
3. New Accounting Standards
------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments
6
<PAGE>
and Hedging Activities" was issued in June 1998. This statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging
activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets
or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. This statement is effective for all quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company is in the process of
determining what impact the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have on its financial
position and results of operations.
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1 "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 provides
guidance on accounting for the costs of internal use computer software at
various stages of development. This SOP is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1998. The Company does not expect the implementation of this
SOP to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
-----------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
The discussions set forth in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with
the financial information included herein and the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended July 3, 1998. Management's discussion and analysis
of financial condition and results of operations and other sections of this
report contain forward-looking statements relating to future results of the
Company. Such forward-looking statements are identified by use of forward-
looking words such as "anticipates", "believes", "plans", "estimates",
"expects", and "intends" or words or phrases of similar expression. These
forward-looking statements are subject to various assumptions, risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to, changes in political and economic
conditions, demand for the Company's products, acceptance of new products,
developments affecting the Company's products and to those discussed in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly,
actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-
looking statements.
The following sets forth the amount and percentage of net sales for each of
the periods indicated (dollars in thousands). Certain reclassifications have
been made to the fiscal year 1998 data to conform to the 1999 presentation:

Results of Operations
The following table sets forth certain historical financial information of
the Company, expressed as a percentage of net sales, for the quarters and six
month periods ended January 2, 1998 and January 1, 1999.
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
EBITDA represents operating income plus depreciation and amortization. While
EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for operating income or a better
indicator of liquidity than cash flow from operating activities, which are
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, it is
included herein to provide additional information with respect to the ability of
the Company to meet its future debt service, capital expenditure and working
capital requirements. In addition, the Company believes that certain investors
find EBITDA to be a useful tool for measuring the ability of the Company to
service its debt. EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of the Company's ability
to fund its cash needs. See the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the
Company herein for further information.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters and Six Month Periods Ended
January 1, 1999 and January 2, 1998.
Net Sales. Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the three
months ended January 1, 1999, decreased 2.1% to $55.4 million from $56.5 million
in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. Net sales for the first six months of
fiscal 1999 decreased 1.3% to $115.4 million from $116.9 million in the first
six months of fiscal 1998. The decrease in net sales primarily reflects
decreases in net sales for the six months ended January 1, 1999 at the Company's
Resort, College Bookstore and Sports Specialty divisions of 5.5%, 6.3% and 8.3%
respectively. The decreases in net sales at the Resort and College Bookstore
divisions are primarily attributable to unseasonably warm fall and winter
temperatures in most of the country and the decrease at the Sports Specialty
division is primarily attributable to the NBA strike. These decreases in net
sales were partially offset by an increase in net sales in the Company's
Corporate division and Event 1 subsidiary of 7.6% and 11.6%, respectively, for
the six months ended January 1, 1999.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 increased
4.6% to $24.9 million from $23.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.
Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 1999 increased .1% to $50.7
million from $50.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 1998. The
increase in gross profit is primarily a result of reductions in material costs
realized in the second quarter of fiscal year 1999. For the second quarter of
fiscal 1999, gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 44.9%
compared to 42.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. For the first six
months of fiscal 1999, gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to
43.9% compared to 43.3% in the first six months of fiscal 1998.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal
1999 increased 12.4% to $14.4 million from $12.8 million in the second quarter
of fiscal 1998. For the first six months, operating expenses increased 13.0% to
$29.6 million from $26.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 1998.
Increases in operating expenses are primarily attributable to increased staffing
levels related to continued expansion into new markets including further
development of Event 1 activities. Operating expenses as a percentage of net
8
<PAGE>
sales increased to 26.1% from 22.7% in the prior year second quarter. For the
first six months, operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to
25.6% from 22.4% in the prior year period.
EBITDA. EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 decreased 4.6% to $
11.2 million from $11.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. For the
first six months, EBITDA decreased 12.8% to $22.6 million from $25.9 million in
the first six months of fiscal 1998. The decrease for both periods is primarily
a result of the decrease in net sales and the increase in operating expenses
described above. EBITDA as a percentage of net sales decreased to 20.2% from
20.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. For the six months, EBITDA as a
percentage of sales decreased to 19.6% from 22.2% in the first six months of
fiscal 1998.
Operating Income. Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 1999
decreased 4.6% to $10.5 million from $11.0 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998. For the first six months, operating income decreased 13.8% to
$21.1 million from $24.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 1998. The
decrease is attributable to the decrease in net sales and the increase in
operating expenses described above. Operating income as a percentage of net
sales decreased for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 to 18.9% from 19.4% in
fiscal 1998, and to 18.2% for the six month period of fiscal 1999 from 20.9% in
the first six months of fiscal 1998.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense for the second quarter of fiscal
1999 decreased to $4.6 million from $5.2 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998. For the first six months of fiscal 1999 other expense decreased
to $9.5 million from $10.0 million in the first six months of fiscal year 1998.
The decrease for the periods is primarily a result of decreased interest expense
associated with borrowings under the Company's $115 million Credit Agreement due
to lower interest rates and declining balances on the Company's long term-debt.
Income Taxes. The effective income tax rates for the six month periods
ended January 1, 1999 and January 2, 1998 were 40.0% and 41.0%, respectively.
Net Income. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 was $3.5
million compared to $3.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. For the
first six months of fiscal 1999, net income was $6.9 million compared to $8.5
million in the first six months of fiscal 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 1999
was $11.5 million compared to $5.7 million in the first six months of fiscal
1998. The change in cash provided by operating activities between the two
periods primarily resulted from a larger decline in the inventory balance in the
first six months of fiscal 1999 as compared to the first six months of fiscal
1998.
Cash used by investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 1999 was
$894,000 compared to $618,000 in the first six months of 1998. The cash used in
both periods was related to acquisitions of property, plant and equipment.
Cash used in financing activities for the first six months of fiscal 1999 was
$6.8 million compared to $5.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 1998.
Cash flows from borrowings under the revolving credit agreement were relatively
consistent during the two periods, however, during the first six months of
fiscal 1998, the Company also had a capital contribution of $788,000 which did
not recur during the first six months of fiscal year 1999.
9
<PAGE>
The Company believes that cash flow from operating activities and borrowings
under the Credit Agreement will be adequate to meet the Company's short-term and
long-term liquidity requirements prior to the maturity of its credit facilities
in 2007, although no assurance can be given in this regard. Under the Credit
Agreement, the Revolver provides $50 million of revolving credit availability
(of which $1 million was outstanding as of January 1, 1999 and approximately
$14.5 million was utilized for outstanding commercial and stand-by letters of
credit).
Holdings is dependent upon the cash flows of the Company to provide funds to
pay certain ordinary course expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and to
service the indebtedness represented by the $50.0 million of 11.375% Series B
Senior Discount Notes due 2009 (the "Discount Notes"). The Discount Notes will
accrete at a rate of 11.375%, compounded semi-annually to an aggregate principal
amount of $108.5 million at September 15, 2004. Thereafter, the Discount Notes
will accrue interest at the rate of 11.375% per annum, payable semi-annually, in
cash on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2005.
Holdings will be dependent on the Company to provide funds to service the
indebtedness. Additionally, the remaining cumulative Holdings Preferred Stock
will accrue dividends totaling approximately $427,000 annually. Holdings
Preferred Stock may be redeemed at stated value (approximately $3.6 million)
plus accrued dividends with mandatory redemption in 2009.
Derivative and Market Risk Disclosure
The Company's market risk exposure is primarily due to possible fluctuations
in interest rates. Derivative financial instruments, including an interest rate
swap and an interest rate cap agreement are used by the Company to manage its
exposure on variable rate debt obligations. The Company enters into such
agreements for hedging purposes and not with a view toward speculating in the
underlying instruments. The Company uses a balanced mix of debt maturities
along with both fixed rate and variable rate debt to manage its exposure to
interest rate changes. The fixed rate portion of the Company's long-term debt
does not bear significant interest rate risk. The variable rate debt would be
affected by interest rate changes to the extent the debt is not matched with an
interest rate swap or cap agreement or to the extent, in the case of the
revolving credit agreement, that balances are outstanding. An immediate 10
percent change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations over the next fiscal year, although there can be
no assurances that interest rates will not significantly change.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Company has a program to identify, evaluate and implement changes to its
computer systems as necessary to address the Year 2000 issue. As part of the
program, the Company is currently upgrading its existing management information
system ("MIS") with a new system designed to improve the overall efficiency of
the Company's operations and to enable management to more closely track the
financial performance of each of its sales and operating areas. Based on
management's best estimates, the new MIS will be operational during fiscal year
ending July 2, 1999. The costs associated with the new MIS implementation are
not expected to be material to the Company and are being expensed as incurred.
Any difficulty with the installation, initial operation or untimely resolution
of the new MIS may present an uncertainty that would be reasonably likely to
affect the Company's inventory purchasing control, sales and customer service
which could materially and adversely impact the Company's future financial
results, or cause its reported financial information not to be necessarily
indicative of future operating results or future financial condition. The
Company will continue to consider the likelihood of a material business
interruption due to the Year 2000 issue, and, if necessary, implement
appropriate contingency plans.
10
<PAGE>
Also as part of the Company's Year 2000 program, the Company has initiated
communications with suppliers with which it interacts to determine their plans
for addressing Year 2000 concerns. Based upon management's best estimates, all
Year 2000 issues will be resolved in 1999. However, the Company cannot make any
assurances that its computer systems, or the computer systems of its suppliers
will be Year 2000 ready on schedule, or that management's cost estimates will be
achieved.
Seasonality and Inflation
The Company experiences seasonal fluctuations in its sales and profitability,
with generally higher sales and gross profit in the first and second quarters of
its fiscal year. The seasonality of sales and profitability is primarily due to
higher volume at the College Bookstore division during the first two fiscal
quarters. This pattern of sales affects working capital requirements and
liquidity, as the Company generally must finance higher levels of inventory
during these periods prior to fully receiving payment from these customers.
Sales and profitability at the Company's Resort, Corporate and Sports Specialty
divisions typically show no significant seasonal variations. As the Company
continues to expand into other markets in its Resorts, Corporate and Sports
Specialty divisions, seasonal fluctuations in sales and profitability are
expected to decline. Cash requirements of Event 1 are anticipated to be
seasonal, with increasing sales and profitability in the third and fourth
quarters of fiscal years.
The impact of inflation on the Company's operations has not been significant
to date. However, there can be no assurance that a high rate of inflation in the
future would not have an adverse effect on the Company's operating results.
