Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Preparation
The condensed financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company without audit. However, the foregoing
statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of Company
management, necessary to present fairly the financial position as
of July 3, 1999, the results of operations for the three-month
and six-month periods ended July 3, 1999 and July 4, 1998, and
cash flows for the six-month periods ended July 3, 1999 and July
4, 1998.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. It is suggested that these condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1998
Annual Report.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company changed its fiscal year
from a calendar year to a 52/53-week year ending on the Saturday
closest to December 31 (January 1, 2000 for fiscal 1999 and
January 2, 1999 for fiscal 1998). Each quarter will generally
consist of a 13-week period ending on a Saturday. Due to the
conversion to a 52/53-week year, the six-month period ended July
4, 1998 consisted of 26 weeks and 3 days, while the six-month
period ended July 3, 1999 consisted of 26 weeks.
Note 2. Inventories

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated,
selected Company income statement data expressed as a percentage
of net sales.

Net Sales
Consolidated net sales for the three month period ended July 3,
1999 were $82.5 million, a $.2 million increase (.3 %) over
1998 second quarter net sales of $82.3 million. Consolidated
net sales for the six month period ended July 3, 1999 were $184.4
million, a $.4 million decrease (.2 %) from net sales of $184.8
million for the first six months of 1998. The Company's net
sales for the three month and six month periods ended July 3,
1999 and July 4, 1998 are summarized as follows:
Net Sales
(in millions)
Domestic
Wholesale Retail International Total
Three month period ended:
July 3, 1999 $ 37.5 $ 43.3 $ 1.7 $ 82.5
July 4, 1998 41.7 39.6 1.0 82.3
Increase (decrease) (4.2) 3.7 .7 .2
Percent increase (decrease) (10.1%) 9.3% 70.0% .3%
Six month period ended:
July 3, 1999 $ 97.8 $ 82.2 $ 4.4 $ 184.4
July 4, 1998 105.8 76.2 2.8 184.8
Increase (decrease) (8.0) 6.0 1.6 (.4)
Percent increase (decrease) (7.6%) 7.9% 57.1% (.2%)
The Company's domestic wholesale unit shipments for the three
month and six month periods ended July 3, 1999 were approximately
flat as compared to the corresponding three month and six month
periods of 1998. The decrease in 1999 sales dollars for both
periods resulted primarily from a combination of lower average
selling prices and product mix (i.e. a higher mix of lighter
weight, lower unit cost garments). The Company currently
anticipates a unit sales increase in the 2% to 4% range for the
second half of 1999 as compared to 1998, with sales dollars
relatively flat.
The Company's second quarter 1999 retail sales increase resulted
from a combination of a 4.7% comparable store sales gain and
sales volume from stores opened subsequent to July 4, 1998.
Second quarter 1999 comparable store sales were unfavorably
impacted by an earlier Easter selling season (during March) as
compared to 1998 (during April). The Company's increase in
retail sales for the first six months of 1999 resulted from a
combination of a 5.4% comparable store sales gain and sales
volume from newly opened stores. For the remainder of 1999, the
Company currently anticipates comparable store sales gains in the
low single digit range.
At July 3, 1999 the Company operated 124 domestic OshKosh retail
stores, including 119 outlet stores and 5 showcase stores.
During the second quarter of 1999, the Company opened 4 outlet
stores and closed 3 existing stores. At July 4, 1998, the
Company operated 121 domestic OshKosh retail stores, including
113 outlet stores and 8 showcase stores. Current Company plans
for the remainder of 1999 call for the addition of 4 retail
stores.
Gross Profit
The Company's gross profit margin as a percent of net sales
improved to 41.7% in the second quarter of 1999, compared to
39.8% in the second quarter of 1998. For the six month period
ended July 3, 1999, gross profit margin as a percent of net sales
was 40.4%, compared to 38.0% for the first six months of 1998.
This gross profit margin improvement was due primarily to
continued implementation and execution of the Company's sourcing
strategy, operating efficiencies at the Company's domestic sewing
facilities and the Company's continuing focus on product design
and development activities. The Company's current 1999 sourcing
plan indicates that approximately 36% of units will be produced
at the Company's domestic facilities as compared to 42% in 1998.
The Company currently anticipates continued modest improvement in
its gross margin for the remainder of 1999 compared to 1998.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (S,G&A)
S,G&A expenses for the three month and six month periods ended
July 3, 1999 increased $1.8 million and $2.6 million over the
three and six month periods ended July 4, 1998, respectively. As
a percentage of net sales, S,G,&A expenses were 38.2% and 34.2%
for the three month and six month periods ended July 3, 1999 as
compared to 36.1% and 32.7% in the comparable periods of 1998.
The increase in S,G,&A expenses relates primarily to a
combination of continued expansion of the Company's retail
operations, costs associated with the Company's transition to an
updated product distribution system and related processes, and
expansion of the Company's brand enhancing activities.
Royalty Income
The Company licenses the use of its trade name to selected
licensees in the U.S. and in foreign countries. Royalty income
for the three month period ended July 3, 1999 increased $.1
million (8.0%) over the second quarter of 1998. Royalty income
for the six month period ended July 3, 1999 decreased $.1 million
(3.5%) over the comparable six month period in 1998. The six
month decrease resulted primarily from the Company's decisions to
not renew its domestic outerwear license (which expired in May
1998) and its Japanese license arrangement (which ended in March
1998).
Operating Income
As a result of the factors described above, the Company's
operating income for the three month and six month periods ended
July 3, 1999 amounted to $4.5 million and $15.2 million as
compared to $4.6 million and $13.6 million for the comparable
periods in 1998.
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the three month and six
month periods ended July 3, 1999 was approximately 39% as
compared to 41% in 1998. The decrease in the effective rate in
1999 was the result of the impact of tax planning initiatives to
support changing business needs.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended July 3, 1999 of $2.8
million was approximately flat as compared to net income for the
three months ended July 4, 1998. The Company's ongoing stock
repurchase programs resulted in a significant reduction in its
weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the first half
of 1999. This decrease resulted in a 21.4% increase in diluted
earnings per share for the second quarter of 1999 of $.17 as
compared to $.14 in 1998.
SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS
The Company's business is seasonal, with highest sales and income
in the third quarter, which is the Company's peak wholesale
shipping period and a major retail selling season at its retail
outlet stores. The Company's second quarter sales and income are
the lowest, both because of relatively low domestic wholesale
unit shipments and relatively modest retail store sales during
this period. The Company anticipates this seasonality trend to
continue to impact 1999 quarterly sales and income. Second
quarter 1999 operating results are not necessarily indicative of
anticipated quarterly results throughout the balance of the year.
YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS
General
The Year 2000 issue involves computer programs and imbedded
microprocessors in computer systems and other equipment that
utilize two digits rather than four digits to define the
applicable year. These systems need to be modified to process
and properly recognize date sensitive information before, on, or
after December 31, 1999. Without modification, these systems may
not properly recognize date sensitive information when the year
changes to 2000 and could generate erroneous data or a system
failure.
State of Readiness
To assess the business risk associated with the Year 2000 issue,
the Company has divided its review into four major areas. These
areas include:
1. Computer hardware and application software programs that
comprise the Company's primary business systems.
2. PC hardware and software, including LANs and servers that
comprise various aspects of the Company's business.
3. Communications with what the Company believes to be all of its
significant customers and vendors regarding the status of
their Year 2000 compliance programs.
4. Other non-information technology aspects of the Company's
business.
The Company has identified three phases of its Year 2000 project
applicable to various portions of the above major areas, which
include a systems inventory of all hardware and programs, problem
assessment, and remediation and testing.
The Company has established a formal Year 2000 compliance project
that addresses the Company's significant business systems. This
project has an internal project leader to coordinate the
inventory, problem assessment, and remediation and testing of the
Year 2000 issues affecting the Company's information and other
business systems.
As of July 3, 1999, the systems inventory, problem assessment,
and remediation and testing have been completed as it relates to
the Company's computer hardware and application software
programs.
All the Company's personal computers have been inventoried and
problem assessment has been completed. Based on this assessment,
significant remediation is not necessary, as we do not anticipate
any major problems with our PC based hardware or software as a
result of the Year 2000.
The Company has received confirmation from what it believes to be
all of its significant vendors and customers as to their Year
2000 compliance status and has taken steps to determine the
extent to which the Company's interface systems are vulnerable to
those third parties' failure to remedy their own Year 2000
issues.
The Company has completed the systems inventory and problem
assessment related to all other essential non-information
technology systems, and substantially all of the remediation and
testing has been completed.
Costs
The Company is executing the Year 2000 program primarily with
existing internal resources and some outside consultants. The
Company has spent an aggregate of approximately $1 million,
through July 3, 1999 on its remediation efforts. All costs
associated with the Year 2000 compliance are being funded with
cash flow generated from operations and are being expensed as
incurred. These amounts do not have a material impact on the
Company's business, operations, or financial condition.
Risks
At this time, the Company believes that it is adequately
addressing the Year 2000 issues, but there can be no assurance
that the Year 2000 issues will not have a material adverse affect
on the business, financial condition, or results of operations of
the Company. Additionally, disruptions in the economy generally
resulting from the Year 2000 problem could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
There can be no assurance that the systems of other companies
with which the Company does business will be timely converted, or
that any such failure to upgrade or convert would not have an
adverse effect on the Company's systems and operations.
If the vendors of the Company's most important goods and
services, or suppliers of the Company's necessary energy,
telecommunications and transportation needs fail to provide the
Company with the materials and services which are necessary to
produce, distribute, and sell its products, such failures could
have a materially adverse effect on the result of operations,
liquidity and financial condition of the Company.
Contingency Plans
The Company presently believes that the Year 2000 issue will not
pose significant operational problems for its computer systems.
The Company does plan to have its personnel "standing by" at the
end of the year to resolve any potential problems as rapidly as
possible. These problems are expected to be minimal.
FINANCIAL POSITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
At July 3, 1999, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-
term investments were $1.2 million, compared to $16.8 million at
the end of 1998 and $.8 million at July 4, 1998. This reduction
is attributable to the Company's stock repurchases, offset in
part by cash generated from operations. Net working capital at
July 3, 1999 was $54.9 million compared to $76.9 million at
January 2, 1999, and $78.8 million at July 4, 1998. Accounts
receivable at July 3, 1999 were $26.1 million compared to $24.0
million at January 2, 1999 and $28.8 million at July 4, 1998.
Inventories at July 3, 1999 were $58.0 million, compared to $65.6
million at January 2, 1999 and $75.8 million at July 4, 1998.
Management believes that July 3, 1999 inventory levels are
generally appropriate for anticipated ongoing 1999 business
activities.
Cash provided by operations amounted to approximately $19.9
million in the first six months of 1999, compared to a use of
cash of $3.6 million in the first six months of 1998. The
increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first
six months of 1999 over 1998 is primarily attributable to reduced
inventory levels.
Investing activities used $.9 million in the first six months of
1999, compared to cash provided of $1.8 million in 1998. Capital
expenditures were $3.0 million in the first six months of 1999,
compared with $6.7 million in 1998 and are currently budgeted at
$9.6 million for all of 1999. Capital expenditures in 1999 relate
primarily to expansions and upgrades of the Company's retail
stores, while capital expenditures in 1998 related primarily to
the Company's upgrade of its distribution systems and White
House, Tennessee distribution facilities. These capital
expenditures were offset by reductions in the levels of short-
term investments in both years. Depreciation and amortization are
currently budgeted at $9.0 million for 1999.
Cash used in financing activities totaled $32.5 million in the
first six months of 1999, compared to $11.2 million in the first
six months of 1998. The Company's primary financing activities
consisted of stock repurchase transactions and cash dividends in
both periods.
On August 10, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a
two-year, $60 million repurchase program of the Company's Class A
common stock. During the first six months of 1999, the Company
repurchased 1,723,300 shares of its Class A common stock under
this program for approximately $32.0 million. The Company has
repurchased a total of 3,067,200 shares of its Class A common
stock under its current repurchase programs for approximately
$59.3 million.
The Company has a credit agreement with participating banks.
This arrangement provides a $60 million revolving credit facility
and a $40 million revocable demand line of credit for cash
borrowings, issuance of commercial paper and letters of credit.
The Company had no outstanding long-term debt at July 3, 1999,
January 2, 1999 or July 4, 1998. The agreement expires in June,
2001. The Company believes that these credit facilities, along
with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to
finance the Company's seasonal working capital needs as well as
its capital expenditures, remaining special charges, and business
development needs.
INFLATION
The effects of inflation on the Company's operating results and
financial condition were not significant.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q contains certain "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. In addition, from time to time the Company may
issue press releases and other written communications, and
representatives of the Company may make oral statements, which
contain forward-looking information. Except for historical
information, matters discussed in such oral and written
communications, including this report, are forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on current
assumptions and expectations that involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially.
The Company's future results of operations and financial position
can be influenced by such factors as the level of consumer
spending for apparel, particularly in the children's wear
segment, overall consumer acceptance of the Company's product
styling, the financial strength of the retail industry,
including, but not limited to, business conditions and the
general economy, natural disasters, competitive factors, risk of
non-payment of accounts receivable, the unanticipated loss of a
major customer, failure of Company suppliers to timely deliver
needed raw materials, Year 2000 issues, particularly with respect
to the Company's vendors and customers, as well as risk
associated with foreign operations. In addition, the inability
to ship Company products within agreed timeframes due to
unanticipated manufacturing delays or the failure of Company
contractors to deliver products within scheduled timeframes, are
risk factors in ongoing business. As a part of the Company's
product sourcing strategy, it routinely contracts for apparel
products produced by contractors in Asia. If the current
financial and related difficulties were to adversely impact the
Company's contractors in the Asian region, it could disrupt the
supply of products contracted for by the Company.
The forward-looking statements included herein are only made as
of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation
to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect
subsequent events or circumstances.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares
of the class entitled to elect such directors, present in person
or represented by proxy at the meeting. "Plurality" means that
the individuals who receive the largest number of votes are
elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be
chosen at the meeting. There were no nominees for director other
than management's nominees identified above. Accordingly, each
such nominee received a plurality of the votes cast by shares of
the class indicated and, therefore, was elected.
