NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED
OCTOBER 31, 1998 AND NOVEMBER 1, 1997
(Unaudited)
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 1998 and the
consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks
ended October 31, 1998 and November 1, 1997, respectively, and the consolidated
statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 1998 and
November 1, 1997 have been prepared by Ithaca Industries, Inc. the ("Company").
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position
of the Company at October 31, 1998 and the results of operations for the
thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 1998 and November 1, 1997,
respectively, and the statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 31, 1998 and November 1, 1997 have been made on a consistent basis.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and
notes thereto for the year ended January 31, 1998 and February 1, 1997 included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on May 2, 1998.
The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at period-end and revenues and
expenses for the periods ended to prepare these financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Thirteen Weeks Ended October 31, 1998 Compared
With Thirteen Weeks Ended November 1, 1997
Net sales increased from $63.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended
November 1, 1997 to $78.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 31, 1998.
Included in this year's sales is $14.6 million for Glendale Hosiery which was
acquired on March 24, 1998. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease of
$3.5 million in other hosiery related business due to product changes at one of
the division's major customers and the lowering of in-store inventory levels by
certain customers. The Company's underwear division's sales during this period
were $3.9 million higher than the same period last year.
The gross profit margin for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 decreased
to 14.5% from 15.2% in the comparable period last year. This decrease resulted
primarily from start-up costs for new programs and costs associated with
consolidating the Company's two hosiery divisions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of
fiscal 1999 increased to $7.9 million from $6.7 million last year primarily due
to the higher sales volume associated with the Glendale acquisition. As a
percent of sales, this year's expense was 10.1% versus 10.6% last year.
Operating income increased to $3.4 million for the third quarter of
fiscal 1999 from $2.9 million for the comparable period last year.
Interest expense for the thirteen weeks ended October 31, 1998
increased to $2.2 million from $1.7 million for the same period last year. This
increase is attributed primarily to the increased average bank borrowings
associated with the Glendale Hosiery acquisition.
Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 31, 1998 Compared
With Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended November 1, 1997
Net sales increased from $182.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
November 1, 1997 to $205.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31,
1998. The sales increase reflects, in part, $27.0 million for Glendale Hosiery
and an increase of $2.8 million in the Company's underwear division. Partially
offsetting these increases was a decrease of $6.8 million in other hosiery
related business.
The gross profit margin decreased for year-to-date fiscal 1999 to 14.5%
from 15.1% for the comparable period last year. The decrease resulted primarily
from the costs incurred to consolidate the Company's two hosiery divisions and
to a lesser extent, the start-up costs for new programs in the hosiery division.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the thirty-nine weeks
ended October 31, 1998 increased to $22.5 million from $19.9 million last year.
This increase is due
Page 9
<PAGE>
primarily to the higher sales volume associated with the Glendale acquisition.
As a percent of sales, this year's expense remained constant with the comparable
period last year at 10.9%.
Operating income decreased to $7.4 million for year-to-date fiscal 1999
from $7.7 million for the comparable period last year.
Interest expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 1998
increased to $6.1 million from $5.2 million in the comparable period last year.
This increase is attributed primarily to the increased average bank borrowings
associated with the Glendale Hosiery acquisition.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On March 24, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Glendale
Hosiery Company for a combination of stock, cash and the assumption of certain
indebtedness and liabilities. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company's
existing Credit Agreement was replaced by a $110.0 million new credit facility.
One part of the new facility provides for a term loan ("Term Loan") of $25.0
million and a revolving loan facility of up to $70.0 million. A separate part of
the new credit facility provides for an additional $15.0 million term loan. The
revolving loan facility includes a sub-limit of $15.0 million for the issuance
of letters of credit. As of December 7, 1998, the Company had $38.1 million of
Term Loans outstanding, $36.2 million of borrowings under the revolving loan
facility, and $4.1 million of outstanding letters of credit. The Company at
December 7, 1998 had $21.3 million of availability under its revolving loan
facility.
As of October 31, 1998 one customer of the company was experiencing
financial problems and owed $1.7 million which was past due. Subsequently, a
$600 thousand payment was received. The company believes that the combination of
future payments for the customer and existing bad debt reserves are adequate to
cover the remaining balance.
YEAR 2000 ("Y2K") COMPLIANCE
Some of the Company's computer programs were written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. As a result, those computer
programs may recognize a date using "00 as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could cause a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions
of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, or engage similar normal business activities.
To improve the Company's overall financial and operational information,
an Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system was selected and is in the
process of being installed. This new ERP system which is Y2K compliant, will
replace the Company's legacy systems. The ERP project is supervised and
supported by senior management. The implementation of the ERP system is a joint
effort of the Company's internal staff and outside consultants.
The Company's Y2K compliance project was begun in July, 1996 and has
five phases. Phase one, which involved the assessment of all systems and
equipment affected by the Y2K issue, has been completed. Phase two, which
involved the defining of strategies to correct those systems and equipment which
were found to pose Y2K problems, has also been
Page 10
<PAGE>
completed. Phase three involved the remediation or replacement of the systems
and equipment which were found to be defective and were not going to be resolved
by the installation of the new ERP system mentioned above. The company has a
definitive plan in place to make the necessary corrections and, as of October
31,1998, has completed the required changes for 75% of the identified problems.
Phase four involved assessing the potential impact on the Company of the Y2K
compliance efforts of its customers and suppliers. Formal communications were
begun in March 1998 and a follow up communication occurred in September 1998.
The Company is in the process of collecting and analyzing the responses received
and, based on those responses, will determine by March 31,1999 what corrective
actions need to be taken to minimize the impact on the Company. There is no
guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Company's systems
rely will be timely converted and will not have an adverse effect on the
Company's systems. Phase five involves the formal testing to insure Y2K
compliance. This testing began in July 1997 and is planned to continue up
through December 31, 1999.
Since the actions being taken by the Company to correct the Y2K problem
are extensive and on-going, the Company's worst case scenario is unknown at this
time. The Company believes it is prudent to have contingency plans in place to
minimize the impact of internal or third party failures to correct Y2K problems.
During the first half of 1999 the Company will identify the areas where
contingency plans are required based on the best information that it has
available at that time.
The incremental cost of becoming Y2K compliant is not material. The
date on which the Company believes it will complete the Y2K modifications is
based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous
assumptions of future events, including the continued availability of certain
resources and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these
estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such material differences
include, but are not limited to, the availability and costs of personnel trained
in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and
similar uncertainties.
The Company believes that the successful, timely completion of its Y2K
compliance project will result in the Company not suffering any material adverse
effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However,
if all Y2K issues are not properly identified, assessed, remediated, replaced or
tested, there can be no assurance that the Y2K issue will not have a material
adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows
or adversely affect the Company's relationship with suppliers, customers or
other third parties. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Y2K issues
of other entities will not adversely effect the Company.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this report including information set forth under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," constitute "Forward-Looking Statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"). Ithaca
Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "Ithaca"), desires to
take advantage of certain "safe harbor" provisions of the Reform Act and is
including this special note to enable the Company to do so. Forward-looking
statements included in this report, involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, and other factors which could cause the Company's actual results,
performance
Page 11
<PAGE>
(financial or operating) or achievements to differ materially from the future
results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks include business risks
such as changes in the price of raw materials, concentration of Ithaca's
principal customers, availability of labor and competitive factors; industry
risks such as changes in the retailing industry and shifts in consumer
preferences; financial risks such as liquidity and access to capital;
integration of the Glendale Hosiery Company acquisition; and other risks as set
forth from time to time in the company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Many of the foregoing factors have been discussed in the Company's
prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and
other publicly available documents. Had the Reform Act been effective at an
earlier time, this special note would have been included in earlier Commission
filings. The foregoing review of significant factors should not be construed as
exhaustive or as an admission regarding the adequacy of disclosures previously
made by the Company prior to the effective date of the Reform Act.
