This amendment amends Part I of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as follows:
the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows have been amended (a) by reclassifying $0.8 million of Start-up expenses
for the Umbro and PAG divisions as Selling, general and administrative expense,
(b) by reclassifying both a $1.9 million loss on closeout goods and $0.5 million
in customer chargebacks related to the Big Ball shutdown as Cost of sales, thus
eliminating the restructuring charge from the second quarter financial
statements, and (c) by reclassifying a $2.1 million expense related to a license
transfer fee from Selling, general and administrative expense to Goodwill
related to the Tahiti acquisition. In addition to the changes on the face of the
financial statements, Footnote 12 to the financial statements, as well as
Management's Discussion and Analysis, also have been amended to reflect these
adjustments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Un-audited)
1. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared on a basis consistent with that of the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1998. The accompanying financial
statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) which are, in the opinion of the Company, necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the Company as of July 3, 1999 and its
results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended July 3,
1999. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998.
2. The results of operations for the three months ended July 3, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
3. Inventories consisted of the following:

$ 6,495 $12,641
======= =======
4. Pursuant to the term of various license agreements, the Company is
obligated to pay future minimum royalties of approximately $1.4 million in
1999.
5. The computation of basic net loss per share is based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share would also include common share equivalents outstanding.
Due to the Company's net loss for all periods presented, all common stock
equivalents would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.
6. On August 10, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new Credit
Agreement between the Company and WGI, LLC, to be effective as of May 8,
1998 (the "WGI Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which WGI will lend the
Company up to $25,000,000 on a revolving basis for a three-year term ending
May 8, 2001. Additional material terms of the WGI Credit Agreement are as
follows: (i) maximum funding of $25,000,000, available in increments of
$100,000 in excess of the minimum funding of $100,000; (ii) interest on
outstanding balances payable quarterly at a rate of 10% per annum; (iii)
secured by a security interest in all of the Company's assets (except for
the assets of its Heritage division and certain former plant locations
which are currently held for sale), subordinate to the security interests
of the Company's senior lender; (iv) funds borrowed may be used for any
purpose approved by the Company's directors and executive officers,
including repayment of any other existing indebtedness of the Company; (v)
WGI, LLC is entitled to have two designees nominated for election to the
Company's Board of Directors during the term of the agreement; and (vi)
WGI, LLC will receive (subject to shareholder approval, which was obtained
at the Company's Annual Meeting on January 27, 1999) warrants to purchase
up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $1.75 per share.
<PAGE>
The warrants issued in connection with the WGI Credit Agreement will vest
at the rate of 200,000 warrants for each $1,000,000 increase in the largest
balance owed at any one time over the life of the credit agreement (as of
July 3, 1999, the largest outstanding balance to date has been $20,160,000,
which means that warrants to acquire 4,032,000 shares of Common Stock would
have been vested as of such date). These warrants were subject to
shareholder approval which was obtained at the Company's annual meeting.
The warrants have registration rights no more favorable than the equivalent
provisions in the currently outstanding warrants issued to principal
shareholders of the Company, except that such rights include three demand
registrations. The warrants also contain anti-dilution provisions which
require that the number of shares subject to such warrants shall be
adjusted in connection with any future issuance of the Company's Common
Stock (or of other securities exercisable for or convertible into Common
Stock) such that the aggregate number of shares issued or issuable subject
to these warrants (assuming eventual vesting as to the full 5,000,000
shares) will always represent ten percent (10%) of the total number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. The fair
market value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model of the above
mentioned warrants of approximately $4,467,000 has been capitalized and is
included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as a debt discount.
These costs are being amortized over the term of the debt agreement with
WGI. As a result of the anti-dilution protection in the warrants and the
completion of the Tahiti acquisition (including the issuance of the
additional 4.3 million common shares) (see Note 7), the Company anticipates
issuing approximately 3.4 million additional warrants to WGI, LLC. The fair
market value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, of the above
mentioned warrants of approximately $2.8 million will be capitalized and
included in the Company's balance sheet as a debt discount. These costs
will be amortized over the term of the debt agreement with WGI, LLC.
7. On March 22, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets of Tahiti Apparel, Inc. ("Tahiti"), a New Jersey
corporation engaged in the design and marketing of swimwear, body wear and
active wear for ladies and girls. The financial statements reflect the
ownership of Tahiti as of January 1, 1999. The Company exercised dominion
and control over the operations of Tahiti commencing January 1, 1999.
Pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 18,
1998 between the Company, Tahiti and the majority stockholders of Tahiti,
as amended by agreement dated March 16, 1999 and as further amended
post-closing by agreement dated April 15, 1999 (as amended, the
"Acquisition Agreement"), the purchase price for the assets and business of
Tahiti is $15,872,500, payable in shares of the Company's Common Stock
having an agreed value (for purposes of such payment only) of $1.18750 per
share. Additionally, the Company assumed, generally, the liabilities of the
business set forth on Tahiti's audited balance sheet as of June 30, 1998
and all liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business during the
period commencing July 1, 1998 and ending on the Closing Date (including
Tahiti's liabilities under a separate agreement (as described below)
between Tahiti and Ming-Yiu Chan, Tahiti's minority shareholder). This
acquisition gave rise to goodwill of $28.1 million which is being amortized
over a period of 15 years.
The acquisition will result in the issuance of 13,366,316 shares of the
Company's Common Stock to Tahiti in payment of the purchase price under the
Acquisition Agreement. The Acquisition Agreement also provides that
1,000,000 of such shares will be placed in escrow with Tahiti's counsel,
Wachtel & Masyr, LLP (acting as escrow agent under the terms of a separate
escrow agreement) for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on
the earlier of the second anniversary of the Closing Date or the completion
of Signal's annual audit for its 1999 fiscal year. This escrow will be used
exclusively to satisfy the obligations of Tahiti and its majority
stockholders to indemnify the Company against certain potential claims as
specified in the Acquisition Agreement. Any shares not used to satisfy such
indemnification obligations will be released to Tahiti at the conclusion of
the escrow period. As discussed below, the Company also issued 1,000,000
additional shares of Common Stock under the terms of the Chan Agreement.
During the course of negotiations leading to the execution of the
Acquisition Agreement, and in order to enable Tahiti to obtain working
capital financing needed to support its ongoing operations, the Company
guaranteed repayment by Tahiti of certain amounts owed by Tahiti under one
of its loans from Bank of New York Financial Corporation ("BNYFC"), which
also is the Company's senior lender.
At a meeting held January 29, 1999, the Company's shareholders approved the
issuance of up to 10,070,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in
connection with the Acquisition Agreement and the Chan Agreement, which
shares were issued in connection with the closing. Under the rules of the
New York Stock Exchange, on which the Company's Common Stock is traded,
issuance of the additional 4,296,316 shares of
<PAGE>
Common Stock called for by the March 16 amendment to the Acquisition
Agreement will be subject to approval by the Company's shareholders at the
Company's 1999 annual meeting. The Company's principal shareholder, WGI,
LLC, has executed a proxy in favor of Zvi Ben-Haim to vote in favor of the
issuance of such additional 4,296,316 shares of the Company's Common Stock
at the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting.
In connection with the acquisition, Tahiti and Tahiti's majority
stockholders reached an agreement with Tahiti's minority shareholder,
Ming-Yiu Chan (the "Chan Agreement"), pursuant to which Tahiti executed a
promissory note to Chan in the principal amount of $6,770,000 (the "Chan
Note"), bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Under the terms of
the Acquisition Agreement, the Company assumed the Chan Note following
Closing. Effective March 22, 1999, the Company exercised its right to pay
the $3,270,000 portion of the Chan Note through the issuance of 1,000,000
shares of Common Stock of the Company to Chan.
The results of operations of Tahiti are included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition (i.e.
January 1, 1999). The pro forma financial information below is based on the
historical financial statements of Signal Apparel and Tahiti and adjusted
as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1998, with certain
assumptions made that management believes to be reasonable. This
information is for comparative purposes only and does not purport to be
indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the
transactions been completed at the beginning of the respective periods or
indicative of the results that may occur in the future.

8. Effective March 22, 1999, the Company completed a new financing arrangement
with its senior lender, BNY Financial Corporation (in its own behalf and as
agent for other participating lenders), which provides the Company with
funding of up to $98,000,000 (the "Maximum Facility Amount") under a
combined facility that includes two Term Loans aggregating $50,000,000
(supported in part by $25,500,000 of collateral pledged by an affiliate of
WGI, LLC, the Company's principal shareholder) and a Revolving Credit Line
of up to $48,000,000 (the "Maximum Revolving Advance Amount"). Subject to
the lenders' approval and to continued compliance with the terms of the
original facility, the Company may elect to increase the Maximum Revolving
Advance Amount from $48,000,000 up to $65,000,000, in increments of not
less than $5,000,000.
The Term Loan portion of the new facility is divided into two segments with
differing payment schedules: (i) $27,500,000 ("Term Loan A") payable, with
respect to principal, in a single installment on March 12, 2004 and (ii)
$22,500,000 ("Term Loan B") payable, with respect to principal, in 47
consecutive monthly installments on the first business day of each month
commencing April 1, 2000, with the first 46 installments to equal
$267,857.14 and the final installment to equal the remaining unpaid balance
of Term Loan B. The Credit Agreement allows the Company to prepay either
term loan, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. In connection
with the Revolving Credit Line, the Credit Agreement also provides (subject
to certain conditions) that the senior lender will issue Letters of Credit
on behalf of the Company, subject to a maximum L/C amount of $40,000,000
and further subject to the requirement that the sum of all advances under
the revolving credit line (including any outstanding L/Cs) may not exceed
the lesser of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount or an amount (the
"Formula Amount") equal to the sum of: (1) up to 85% of Eligible
Receivables, as defined, plus (2) up to 50% of the value of Eligible
Inventory, as defined (excluding L/C inventory and subject to a cap of
$30,000,000 availability), plus (3) up to 60% of the first cost of Eligible
L/C Inventory, as defined, plus (4) 100% of the value of collateral and
letters of credit posted by the Company's principal shareholders, minus (5)
the aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit,
<PAGE>
minus (6) Reserves (as defined). In addition to the secured revolving
advances represented by the Formula Amount, and subject to the overall
limitation of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, the agreement provides
the Company with an additional, unsecured Overformula Facility of
$17,000,000 (the outstanding balance of which must be reduced to not more
than $10,000,000 for at least one business day during a five business day
cleanup period each month) through December 31, 2000. In consideration for
the unsecured portion of the credit facility, the Company issued 1,791,667
shares of Signal Apparel Common Stock and warrants to purchase 375,000
shares of Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share. The fair market value of
the above mentioned shares of common stock of approximately $2.1 million
has been capitalized and is included in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as a debt discount. The fair market value, using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model, of the above mentioned warrants of
approximately $0.2 million has been capitalized and is included in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet as a debt discount. These costs are
being amortized over the five year term of the debt agreement with BNY.
9. On March 3, 1999, the Company completed the private placement of $5 million
of 5% Convertible Debentures due March 3, 2002 with two institutional
investors. The Company utilized the net proceeds from issuance of these
Debentures to redeem all of the remaining outstanding shares of the
Company's 5% Series G1 Convertible Preferred Stock (following the
conversion of $260,772.92 stated value (including accrued dividends) of
such stock into 248,355 shares of the Company's Common Stock effective
February 26, 1999, by two other institutional investors). This transaction
effectively replaced a security convertible into the Company's Common Stock
at a floating rate (the 5% Series G1 Preferred Stock) with a security (the
Debentures) convertible into Common Stock at a fixed conversion price of
$2.00 per share. The transaction also reflects the Company's decision to
forego the private placement of an additional $5 million of 5% Series G2
Preferred Stock under the original purchase agreement with the Series G1
Preferred investors. In connection with the sale of the $5 million of
Debentures, the Company issued 2,500,000 warrants to purchase the Company's
Common Stock at $1.00 per share with a term of five years. The fair market
value, using the Black Scholes option pricing model, of the above mentioned
warrants of approximately $2.25 million has been capitalized and included
in the consolidated balance sheet as a debt discount. These costs are being
amortized over the term of the Debentures.
10. In January 1999, the Company completed the sale of its Heritage division ,
a woman's fashion knit business, to Heritage Sportswear, LLC, a new company
formed by certain former members of management of the Heritage division.
Additional information regarding the terms of this sale are available in
Company's 10-K.
11. In the first quarter of 1999, Signal closed its offices and warehouses in
Chattanooga, Tennessee and its production facilities in Tazewell, Tennessee
and shut down substantially all of its operations located there. Signal
relocated its sales and merchandising offices to New York, New York and
relocated the corporate offices and all accounting and certain related
administrative functions to offices in Avenel, New Jersey.
12. In the second quarter of 1999, Signal closed its warehouse and printing
facility in Houston, Texas and shut down substantially all of its
operations located there (except for certain artist functions). The Houston
facility was the location for the design, manufacture, and sale of the
Company's Big Ball Sports line of products. Signal relocated the sales and
merchandising functions to New York, New York and has outsourced all of the
manufacturing functions for the Big Ball Sports line to third parties. The
Company's negative Gross Profit for the second quarter of 1999 includes
$1.9 million of negative gross margin on closeout goods and $0.5 million of
negative gross margin resulting from customer chargebacks related to the
Big Ball shutdown.
13. WGI waived its right to receive $1.5 million in preferred dividends which
would have accrued in relation to the Series H Preferred Stock during the
first quarter of 1999. WGI has not waived any other right to receive
preferred dividends which accrued after the end of the first quarter of
1999.
14. Subsequent to the filing of the financial statements, the Company recorded
certain reclassifications to its previously reported July 3, 1999 financial
statements. These reclassifications involved eliminating the restructuring
charge from the second quarter financial statements by (a) reclassifying
$0.8 million of Start-up expenses for the Umbro and PAG divisions as
Selling, general and administrative expense and (b) reclassifying both a
$1.9 million loss on closeout goods and $0.5 million in customer
chargebacks related
<PAGE>
to the Big Ball shutdown as Cost of sales. In addition, the Company
reclassified a $2.1 million expense related to a license transfer fee from
Selling, general and administrative expense to Goodwill related to the
Tahiti acquisition. As a result of these reclassifications recorded by the
Company, the Company has revised its reported results of operations and
statement of cash flows for the period ended July 3, 1999. This Amendment
No. 2 on Form 10-Q/A to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
reflects the effects of these reclassifications, which were to reduce the
Company's net loss from $22.9 million ($0.55 per share) to $20.9 million
($0.50 per share) for the three months ended July 3, 1999 and to reduce the
net loss for the six months ended July 3, 1999 from $26.6 million ($0.69
per share) to $24.5 million ($0.64 per share).
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Three Months Ended July 3, 1999
Net sales of $35.2 million for the quarter ended July 3, 1999 represents an
increase of $22.7 million (or 182%) from $12.5 million in net sales for the
corresponding period of 1998. This increase is mainly attributed to $26.9 in
combined new sales from the newly acquired Tahiti division and the Umbro
division. Conversely, the second quarter 1999 sales do not reflect any sales
from the Heritage division (sold at 1/1/99) which had provided $2.7 million in
sales in the quarter ended July 4, 1998.
Total Gross Margin before royalties decreased $6.5 million in the second quarter
of 1999 compared to the corresponding period in 1998. Gross Margin percentage
was negative (10.0%) for the second quarter of 1999 compared to 24% for the
quarter ended July 4, 1998. The $6.5 million decrease in total gross margin is
attributable primarily to (a) a $1.9 million net loss on closeout goods and $0.5
million in customer chargebacks related to the Big Ball shutdown and (b) over
$2.4 million in excessive costs to import goods by air freight and then
transport those same goods by overnight courier direct to customer retail
locations, all as a result of late manufacture of such goods. The late
manufacture of goods resulted from delays in opening letters of credit to
foreign manufacturers as a result of limited bank loan availability during the
negotiation of the acquisition of the assets of Tahiti Apparel, Inc. by the
Company. In addition, the gross margin for the second quarter of 1999 was
negatively affected by recognition of $1.1 million in loss on the mark down at
the end of the swim season of obsolete and slow moving inventory. The $1.9
million net loss on closeout goods related to the Big Ball shutdown represents a
70% markdown from the total cost basis of $2.7 million for such inventory. From
December 31, 1998 through the month of May 1999, the Company pursued a vigorous
effort to sell this Big Ball related inventory through normal distribution
channels. From January 1999 through April 1999, the Company sold a meaningful
portion of the inventory at prices above cost, giving management confidence that
the remaining units could be sold within a reasonable period of time, at prices
that at least would allow the Company to recover its cost plus direct costs of
disposition. During the second quarter of 1999, however, management realized
that the unsold inventory would not be liquidated at normal selling prices. The
remaining inventory was not of a quality or quantity that easily could be sold
in the closeout market, particularly taking into consideration a rapid
deterioration in the closeout market for sports apparel that occurred in the
second quarter of 1999 due to a flood of goods created by the bankruptcies of
two major sports apparel manufacturers. In order to minimize costs, management
determined that the Company should sell the remaining inventory as fast as
possible at an estimated liquidation value (after costs of loading and shipping)
of approximately $0.8 million, and booked the net loss in June 1999 based on
this estimate.
Royalty expense related to licensed product sales was 4% of sales for the
quarter ended July 3, 1999, compared to 8.5% for the corresponding period of
1998. This decrease resulted primarily from an increase by the Company in sales
of proprietary products.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of total
sales were 35% of sales for the quarter ended July 3, 1999 compared to 36% of
sales for the corresponding period of 1998. The total amount of SG&A expenses
increased a total of $7.8 million from $4.5 million in the quarter ended July 4,
1998 to $12.3 million for the comparable quarter of 1999. The change in the
total amount of SG&A between 1998 and 1999 is primarily related to (a)
additional sales expenses resulting from the additional $21.8 million of sales
in the quarter ended July 3, 1999,
<PAGE>
(b) over $0.7 million in consulting fees being paid to third parties for
services related to accounting and systems consulting, (c) $1.0 million of
professional fees, (d) $1.5 million of temporary and recruiting costs associated
with the move to New Jersey, (e) $0.5 million of employee termination costs and
other administrative exit costs related to the Big Ball shutdown, and (f) $0.8
million of start-up expenses incurred in the second quarter of 1999 for the
Company's new Umbro and PAG divisions.
During the second quarter of 1999, the Company continued to implement the
revised business strategy initiated in the last quarter of 1998, which has
resulted in a change from the Company being primarily a manufacturer of products
to primarily a sales, marketing, merchandising and distribution company for
activewear and other clothing. As a result, the Company closed its last
operating facility for the Big Ball division in Houston, Texas during the second
quarter. The Company's negative Gross Profit for the second quarter of 1999
includes a $1.9 million net loss on closeout goods and $0.5 million in customer
chargebacks related to this shutdown.
Depreciation and Amortization increased from $0.4 million in the quarter ended
July 4, 1998 to $1.2 million in the comparable 1999 period, primarily as a
result of $1.2 million of amortization of goodwill attributable to the new
Tahiti acquisition, partially offset by the sale by the Company of a substantial
portion of its fixed assets in connection with the various plant closings that
have occurred.
Interest expense for the quarter ended July 3, 1999 was $3.7 million compared to
$1.7 million in the comparable quarter of 1998. In the second quarter of 1999,
$1.9 million of the $3.7 million of interest expense is non-cash interest
amortization related to the reduction of debt discounts for the WGI, LLC
warrants and the warrants and common stock issued to BNY (See Notes 6 and 8) .
In addition, as of July 3, 1999, non-cash interest in the amount of $62,500 had
accrued on the 5% Convertible Debenture. Pursuant to the terms of the 5%
Convertible Debenture, the Company intends to pay this accrued interest by the
issuance of shares of common stock.
Six Months Ended July 3, 1999
Net sales of $68.6 million for the six months ended July 3, 1999 represents an
increase of $44.6 million (or 185%) from $24.0 million in net sales for the
corresponding period of 1998. This increase is mainly attributed to $52.3
million in combined new sales from the newly acquired Tahiti division and the
Umbro division. Conversely, the first six months of 1999 sales do not reflect
any sales from the Heritage division (sold at 1/1/99) which had provided $5.8
million in sales in the quarter ended July 4, 1998.
Total Gross Margin before royalties decreased $0.9 million in the first six
months of 1999 compared to the corresponding period in 1998. Gross Margin
percentage was 7.5% for the first six months of 1999 compared to 25.2% for the
six months ended July 4, 1998. The $0.9 million decrease in total gross margin
is attributable to a smaller percentage (7.5%) applied to a much larger sales
base ($68.6 million). The reduced gross margin percentage is attributable in
part to $2.4 million of excessive costs to import goods by air freight and then
transport those same goods by overnight courier direct to customer retail
locations, all as a result of late manufacture of such goods. The late
manufacture of goods resulted from delays in opening letters of credit to
foreign manufacturers as a result of limited bank loan availability during the
negotiation of the acquisition of the assets of Tahiti Apparel, Inc. by the
Company. In addition, the gross margin for the first six months of 1999 was
negatively effected by (a) a $1.9 million net loss on closeout goods and $0.5
million in customer chargebacks related to the Big Ball shutdown and (b)
recognition of an additional $1.5 million loss on the markdown and sale of other
obsolete and slow moving inventory. The $1.9 million net loss on closeout goods
related to the Big Ball shutdown represents a 70% markdown from the total cost
basis of $2.7 million for such inventory. From December 31, 1998 through the
month of May 1999, the Company pursued a vigorous effort to sell this Big Ball
related inventory through normal distribution channels. From January 1999
through April 1999, the Company sold a meaningful portion of the inventory at
prices above cost, giving management confidence that the remaining units could
be sold within a reasonable period of time, at prices that at least would allow
the Company to recover its cost plus direct costs of disposition. During the
second quarter of 1999, however, management realized that the unsold inventory
would not be liquidated at normal selling prices. The remaining inventory was
not of a quality or quantity that easily could be sold in the closeout market,
particularly taking into consideration a rapid deterioration in the closeout
market for sports apparel that occurred in the second quarter of 1999 due to a
flood of goods created by the bankruptcies of two major sports apparel
manufacturers. In order to minimize costs, management determined that the
Company should sell the remaining
<PAGE>
inventory as fast as possible at an estimated liquidation value (after costs of
loading and shipping) of approximately $0.8 million, and booked the net loss in
June 1999 based on this estimate.
Royalty expense related to licensed product sales was 4.9% of sales for the six
months ended July 3, 1999, compared to 7.7% for the corresponding period of
1998. This decrease resulted primarily from an increase by the Company in sales
of proprietary products.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of total
sales were 28% of sales for the six months ended July 3, 1999 compared to 40% of
sales for the corresponding period of 1998, a 30% improvement. The SG&A expenses
increased a total of $9.8 million from $9.5 million in the six months ended July
4, 1998 to $19.3 million for the comparable period of 1999. The change in the
total amount of SG&A between 1998 and 1999 is primarily related to (a)
additional sales expenses resulting from the additional $43.7 million of sales
in the first six months of 1999, (b) over $0.7 million in consulting fees being
paid to third parties for services related to accounting and systems consulting
(c) $1.0 million of professional fees, (d) $1.5 million of temporary and
recruiting costs associated with the move to New Jersey, which were partially
offset by $0.7 million in reduced SG&A expenses at the Houston facility,
compared to the same period for 1998, (e) $0.5 million of employee termination
costs and other administrative exit costs related ato the Big Ball shutdown, and
(f) $0.8 million of start-up expenses incurred in the second quarter of 1999 for
the Company's new Umbro and PAG divisions.
During the first six months of 1999, the Company continued to implement the
revised business strategy initiated in the last quarter of 1998, which has
resulted in a change from the Company being primarily a manufacturer of products
to primarily a sales, marketing, merchandising and distribution company for
activewear and other clothing. As a result, the Company closed its last
operating facility for the Big Ball division in Houston, Texas during the second
quarter. The Company's negative Gross Profit for the second quarter of 1999
includes a $1.9 million net loss on closeout goods and $0.5 million in customer
chargebacks related to this shutdown.
Depreciation and Amortization increased from $1.4 million in the six months
ended July 4, 1998 to $2.3 million in the comparable 1999 period, primarily as a
result of $0.9 million of amortization of goodwill attributable to the new
Tahiti acquisition.
Interest expense for the six months ended July 3, 1999 was $6.9 million compared
to $3.2 million in the comparable period of 1998. In 1999, $1.9 million of the
$6.9 million of interest expense is non-cash interest amortization related to
the reduction of debt discounts for the WGI, LLC warrants and the warrants and
common stock issued to BNY (See Notes 6 and 8).
FINANCIAL CONDITION
During 1998 and the first six months of 1999, the Company has undergone a
strategic change from a manufacturing orientation to a sales and marketing
focus. Effective March 22, 1999, Signal Apparel Company, Inc. purchased the
business and assets of Tahiti Apparel Company, Inc., a leading supplier of
ladies and girls activewear, bodywear and swimwear primarily to the mass market
as well as to the mid-tier and upstairs retail channels. Tahiti's products are
marketed pursuant to various licensed properties and brands as well as
proprietary brands of Tahiti. During the fourth quarter of 1998, Signal also
acquired the license and certain assets for the world recognized Umbro soccer
brand in the United States for the department, sporting goods and sports
specialty store retail channels. The acquisition of Tahiti Apparel and the Umbro
license initiative both are part of the Company's ongoing efforts to improve its
operating results. The Company remains committed to exiting all manufacturing
activities and to focus exclusively on sales, marketing and merchandising of its
product lines. Following these developments, Signal and its wholly owned
subsidiaries manufacture and market activewear, bodywear and swimwear in
juvenile, youth and adult size ranges. The Company's products are sold
principally to retail accounts under the Company's proprietary brands, licensed
character brands, licensed sports brands, and other licensed brands. The
Company's principal proprietary brands include G.I.R.L., Bermuda Beachwear, Big
Ball and Signal Sport. Licensed brands include Hanes Sport, BUM Equipment, Jones
New York and Umbro. Licensed character brands include Mickey Unlimited, Winnie
the Pooh, Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo and Sesame Street; and licensed sports brands
include the logos of Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association,
and the National Hockey League. The Company's license with the National Football
League expired, subject to certain sell-off rights, on March 31, 1999 and will
not be renewed.
<PAGE>
During the year ended December 31, 1998, licensed NFL product sales were
approximately 15% of consolidated revenue. The loss of this license could also
affect the Company's ability to sell other professional sports apparel to its
customers.
Additional working capital was required in the first six months of 1999 to fund
the continued losses and payments of interest on the Company's long-term debt to
its secured lenders. The Company's need was met through use of its new credit
facility with its senior lender. At July 3, 1999, the Company had overadvance
borrowings (secured in part by the guarantee of two principal shareholders) of
$7.9 million with its senior lender compared to $36.7 million at July 4, 1998.
The Company's working capital deficit at July 3, 1999 increased $24.4 million or
43% compared to year end 1998. Excluding the effect of all sales and
acquisitions of divisions, the increase in the working capital deficit was
primarily due to the new term loan being classified as a current liability
($50.0 million), which was partially offset by a decrease in inventories ($14.6
million), a decrease in accounts receivable ($1.0 million), a decrease in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities ($2.8 million), a decrease in the
revolving advance account ($42.5 million), and debt discount associated with the
term loan ($2.3 million). The Company has a "zero base balance" arrangement with
the bank where it maintains its operating account that allows the Company to
cover checks drawn on such account on a daily basis with funds wired from its
senior lender based on the credit facility with the senior lender.
Excluding the effect of all sales and acquisitions of divisions, accounts
receivable decreased $1.0 million or 68% over year-end 1998. The decrease was
primarily a result of the improved collection of non-collectible receivables,
the application of appropriate reserves related to the new Tahiti accounts
receivable, and the timing of payments from the senior lender on factored
receivables.
Excluding the effect of all sales and acquisitions of divisions, inventories
decreased $14.6 million or over 100% compared to year-end 1998. Inventories
decreased as a result of management's focus on selling all slow moving and
obsolete inventory during the first six months of 1999, the sale of
substantially all of the remaining Big Ball Sports inventory in connection with
the closure of the Houston facility, and the general reduction of inventory
related to the Tahiti division as of the end of the swimwear season at July 3,
1999.
Excluding the effect of all sales and acquisitions of divisions, total current
liabilities increased $18.0 million or 25% over year-end 1998, primarily due to
the term loan being classified as a current liability ($50.0) million, which was
partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities ($2.8
million), a decrease in the revolving advance account ($42.5 million) , and debt
discount associated with the term loan ($2.3 million).
Excluding the effect of all sales and acquisitions of divisions, cash used in
operations was $9.5 million during the first six months of 1999 compared to $9.4
million used in operating activities during the same period in 1998. The
increased use of cash during such period was primarily due to the net loss of
$26.0 million during the first six months of 1999, which was partially offset by
depreciation and amortization ($2.3 million) and non-cash interest ($1.2
million), a decrease in inventories ($14.6 million), a decrease in accounts
receivable ($1.0 million), and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities ($2.8 million).
Commitments to purchase equipment totaled less than $0.1 million at July 3,
1999. During the remainder of 1999, the Company anticipates capital expenditures
not to exceed $0.5 million.
Cash provided by investing activities was $2.6 million for the six months ended
July 3, 1999 compared to cash provided of $0.8 in the comparable period for
1998. This primarily resulted from $2.0 million provided through the sale of the
Heritage division.
Cash provided by financing activities was $6.8 million for the first six months
of 1999 compared to $8.2 million in the comparable period for 1998. Excluding
the effect of all sales and acquisitions of divisions, the Company had net
borrowings of approximately $7.5 million from its senior lender, after taking
into account borrowings under the new $50 million term loan and the borrowings
under the new revolving credit facility and repayment of the existing credit
facilities maintained by the Company (including those assumed in connection with
the Tahiti acquisition). In addition, the Company sold new 5% convertible
debentures ($5.0 million), which was partially offset by repurchase of Series G1
Preferred Stock ($2.4 million), and other principal payments on borrowings ($0.6
million).
<PAGE>
Excluding the effect of all sales and acquisitions of divisions, the revolving
advance account decreased $29.0 million from $44 million at year-end 1998 to
$15.3 million at July 3, 1999. Approximately $10.0 million was overadvanced
under the revolving advance account. The overadvance is secured in part, by the
guarantee of two principal shareholders.
Interest expense for the six months ended July 3, 1999 was $6.9 million compared
to $3.2 million for the same period in 1998. The $6.9 million of interest in
this quarter included non-cash interest charges of $1.9 million. Total
outstanding debt averaged $85.2 million and $64.2 million for the first six
months of 1999 and 1998, respectively, with average interest rates of 11.8%, and
10.0%, respectively. The increased interest expense during 1999 reflects
non-cash interest resulting from amortization of debt discount of $0.5 million.
The Company uses letters of credit to support foreign and some domestic sourcing
of inventory and certain other obligations. Outstanding letters of credit were
$6.2 million at July 3, 1999.
Total Shareholders' Deficit increased $10.6 million to $78.3 million compared to
year-end 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As a result of continuing losses, the Company has been unable to fund its cash
needs through cash generated by operations. The Company's liquidity shortfalls
from operations during these periods have been funded through several
transactions with its principal shareholders and with the Company's senior
lender. These transactions are detailed above in the Financial Condition
section.
As of July 3, 1999, the Company's senior lender waived certain covenant
violations (pertaining to quarterly profits and working capital) under the
Company's factoring agreement. Even though these covenant violations have been
waived, the Company has not yet completed the third quarter of 1999 and no
determination can yet be made whether one or more covenant violations exist for
the third quarter. Accordingly, GAAP requires that the $50 million term loan be
classified as a current liability even though the term of the loan is longer
than one year.
If the Company's sales and profit margins do not substantially improve in the
near term, the Company will be required to seek additional capital in order to
continue its operations and to move forward with the Company's turnaround plans,
which include seeking appropriate additional acquisitions. To obtain such
additional capital and such financing, the Company may be required to issue
additional securities that may dilute the interests of its stockholders.
At the end of fiscal 1997, the Company implemented a restructuring plan for its
preferred equity and the majority of its subordinated indebtedness (following
approval by shareholders of the issuance of Common Stock in connection
therewith), which resulted in a significant increase in the Company's overall
equity as well as a significant reduction in the Company's level of indebtedness
and ongoing interest expense. In addition, as discussed in Note 9 to the
financial statements, during the first quarter of 1999, the Company sold $5
million of Convertible Debentures to institutional investors, which funds were
used to repurchase the Company's Series G1 Convertible Preferred Stock. The
Company anticipates that funds provided by the WGI Credit Agreement, other
support by WGI LLC and the Bank of New York credit facility will enable the
Company to meet its liquidity needs at least through September 30, 1999.
During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company reached a decision to close its
printing facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee and it anticipated closing its Big
Ball subsidiary and selling its Grand Illusion subsidiary. The Company recorded
restructuring charges and goodwill write-offs totalling $7.3 million as a result
of these matters. The Company took this action in an effort to further improve
its cost structure. The Company is considering the sale of certain other
non-essential assets. The Company also has an ongoing cost reduction program
intended to control its general and administrative expenses, and has implemented
an inventory control program to eliminate any obsolete, slow moving or excess
inventory.
<PAGE>
On May 12, 1999 the Company issued a WARN notice that the Company would close
its Houston printing facility. The facility was, in fact, shut down on July 11,
1999. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter ended July 3,
1999 reflect $1.9 million in negative gross margin on sales of closeout goods,
$0.5 million in negative gross margin on customer chargebacks and $0.5 million
in employee termination and other administrative exit costs, all related to the
Big Ball shutdown.
Although management believes that the effects of the restructuring, the private
placement of preferred stock and the cost reduction measures described above
have enhanced the Company's opportunities for obtaining the additional funding
required to meet its liquidity requirements beyond September 30, 1999, no
assurance can be given that any such additional financing will be available to
the Company on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise. The Company will need
to significantly improve sales and profit margins or raise additional funds in
order to continue as a going concern.
YEAR 2000
The Company is in the process of updating its current software, developed for
the apparel industry, which will make the information technology ("IT") systems
year 2000 compliant. This software modification, purchased from a third party
vendor, is expected to be installed, tested and completed on or before September
30, 1999, giving the Company additional time to test the integrity of the
system. Although the Company believes that the modification to the software
which runs its core operations is year 2000 compliant, the Company does utilize
other third party equipment and software that may not be year 2000 compliant. If
any of this software or equipment does not operate properly in the year 2000 and
thereafter, the Company could be forced to make unanticipated expenditures to
cure these problems, which could adversely affect the Company's business. The
total cost of the new software and implementation necessary to upgrade the
Company's current IT system and address the year 2000 issues is estimated to be
approximately $100,000. Planned costs have been budgeted in the Company's
operating budget. The projected costs are based on management's best estimates
and actual results could differ as the new system is implemented. Approximately
$40,000 has been expended as of July 3, 1999. The Company has adopted a formal
year 2000 compliance plan and expects to achieve implementation on or before
September 30, 1999. This effort is being headed by the Company's new MIS manager
and includes members of various operational and functional units of the Company.
To date, letters/inquiries have been sent to suppliers, vendors, and others to
determine their compliance status. A significant number of responses have been
received. The Company's principal customers, Wal-Mart, Target and K-Mart, have
indicated that they are Year 2000 compliant. The Company is cognizant of the
risk associated with the year 2000 and has begun a series of activities to
reduce the inherent risk associated with non-compliance. The Company's MIS
manager is primarily responsible to insure that all Company systems are Year
2000 compliant. Among the activities which the Company has not performed to date
include: software (operating systems, business application systems and EDI
system) must be upgraded and tested (although these systems are integrated and
are included in the Company's core accounting system); a few PC's must be
assessed and upgraded for compliance. In the event that the Company or any of
its significant customers or suppliers does not successfully and timely achieve
year 2000 compliance, the Company's business or operations could be adversely
affected. Thus, the Company is in the process of adopting a contingency plan.
The Company is currently developing a "Worst Case Contingency Plan" which will
include generally an environment of utilizing spreadsheets and other
"workaround" programming and procedures. This contingency system will be
activated if the current plans are not successfully implemented and tested by
October 31, 1999. The cost of these alternative measures is estimated to be less
than $25,000. The Company believes that its current operating systems are fully
capable (except for year 2000 data handling) of processing all present and
future transactions of the business. Accordingly, no major efforts have been
delayed or avoided which affect normal business operations as a result of the
incomplete implementation of the year 2000 IT systems. These current systems
will become the foundation of the Company's contingency system.
