NOTES:
(1)    In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
       recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial information
       have been made. The results of operations for the three months or nine
       months ended September 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of
       results for the full year.

(2)    The Company has entered into forward exchange contracts for the purpose
       of hedging firmly committed inventory purchases with outside vendors. The
       Company accounts for these contracts under the deferral method.
       Accordingly, gains and losses are recorded in inventory when the
       inventory is purchased.

       In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
       Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting
       for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new standard
       requires that an entity recognize derivatives as either assets or
       liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair
       value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, which deferred the
       effective date of SFAS No. 133 for one year to January 1, 2001. The
       Company intends to adopt this standard in 2001. The adoption of this
       standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
       balance sheet or statement of earnings.

</TABLE>


       Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                Condition and Results of Operations.

     Liquidity

     The Company's primary source of liquidity is its cash and marketable
     securities which aggregated approximately $25,049,000 at September 30,
     1999, compared with $36,254,000 at December 31, 1998. In addition, the
     Company maintains a $7,500,000 bank line of credit and has banker
     acceptance loan facilities to provide funds on a short-term basis when
     necessary. There were no draws on the line of credit during the third
     quarter of 1999.

     The decrease in cash flows from operating activities to date in 1999 is
     primarily related to a $6.0 million buildup in inventory since December 31,
     1998. The buildup in inventory is for the upcoming selling season and is
     higher than normal due to an increased backlog of orders.

     The Company's capital expenditures were $3,829,000 and  $9,119,000 for the
     first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively. In both periods,
     expenditures were primarily related to the construction of the Company's
     346,000 square foot corporate office and distribution center. The Company's
     corporate offices moved into the new building in February 1999.
     Distribution operations began in the new building in the second quarter of
     1999.




                                       -5-


<PAGE>   7


     The Company issued commercial paper with 30 to 90 day maturities to finance
     the building construction project. The commercial paper is backed by a
     three-year, $12 million revolving credit agreement. At September 30, 1999,
     there was $9,255,000 of commercial paper outstanding.

     In April 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock
     repurchase program for up to 500,000 shares or approximately 10% of its
     common stock in open market transactions at prevailing prices. During 1998,
     the Company purchased 320,000 shares at a total cost of $8,484,000 under
     the program, and an additional 76,500 shares at a total cost of $1,932,000
     in private transactions. In April 1999, the Board of Directors extended the
     stock repurchase program to cover the repurchase of 500,000 additional
     shares of Common Stock. In the first nine months of 1999, the Company
     purchased 155,000 shares at a total cost of $3,737,000 under the program,
     and 44,000 shares at a total cost of $1,066,000 in private transactions.

     The Company believes that available cash and marketable securities, cash
     provided from operations and available borrowing facilities will provide
     adequate support for the cash needs of the business.


 Results of Operations

     Total net sales for the third quarter of 1999 were $35,010,000, compared
     with $32,745,000 for the third quarter of 1998. Net sales in the wholesale
     division increased $2,150,000 (7%) from $31,322,000 in 1998 to $33,472,000
     in 1999. The increase resulted primarily from an 8% increase in wholesale
     shoes shipped. Retail net sales increased 8% during the third quarter of
     1999 as compared to the third quarter of 1998. Same store net sales were up
     12% between the third quarter of 1998 and 1999. There was one store closing
     in July 1998, which is the reason for the difference between retail and
     same store net sales for the quarter.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net sales increased
     $3,418,000, or 3%, as compared with the same period in 1998. Wholesale
     sales increased $3,768,000 or 4% from $93,333,000 in 1998 to $97,101,000 in
     1999. This increase resulted primarily from a 5% increase in shoes shipped.
     Retail net sales decreased $350,000 (7%) from $5,104,000 in 1998 to
     $4,754,000 in 1999, as a result of 1998 retail store closings. Same store
     net sales were up 6% as compared with the same period in 1998. Retail net
     sales now account for less than 5% of total company net sales, as the
     Company continues to focus on its wholesale business.




                                       -6-


<PAGE>   8


     Gross earnings as a percent of net sales decreased approximately 1% between
     the third quarter of 1998 and 1999, from 26.3% to 25.5%, and was consistent
     for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 at 27%.

     As a percent of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were
     consistent between the third quarter of 1998 and 1999 at 16% and the nine
     months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 at 17%.

     Other income and expense includes a $188,000 gain on the sale of the former
     warehouse facility in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. The sale closed on September
     30, 1999. The buildings in Milwaukee which formerly housed the corporate
     office and distribution center were sold on October 5, 1999. The resulting
     $612,000 gain will be included in fourth quarter other income and expense.

Year 2000 Computer Compliance

     The Company's 1998 Annual Report includes a detailed discussion of the
     nature and extent of the Company's project to address the Year 2000 issue
     relating to the inability of certain computer software programs to process
     2-digit year-date codes after December 31, 1999. This project has been
     substantially completed, tested and implemented, and the Company does not
     anticipate any major problems related to this issue. The total cost of the
     project was $800,000.
