Note 3 - Net Income Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share amounts have been computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each year. When applicable, diluted
earnings per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of
common shares and the dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the
year.
Note 4 - Notes Payable
The Company's loan agreement, which expires on May 31, 2002, provides for a
maximum line of credit in amounts that range from $45 million to $72 million
during each year of the loan term. The amounts available include direct
borrowings that range from $30 million to $52 million during each year of the
loan term. The balance of the credit line may be used for letters of credit. All
amounts available for borrowing are subject to borrowing base formulas and
overadvances specified in the agreement. There was $26.6 million outstanding at
October 31, 2000 and no loan balance outstanding at January 31, 2000 under this
agreement.
-7-
<PAGE>
Notes payable also includes borrowings by PT Balihides, the Company's Indonesian
subsidiary, under a credit facility with an Indonesian bank. Notes payable of
approximately $1.5 million as of October 31, 2000 and January 31, 2000 represent
maximum borrowings under this facility.
In November 1999, the Company and Black Entertainment Television decided to
discontinue their BET Design Studio joint venture. BET Design Studio had an
asset-based credit facility. Direct borrowings bore interest at the prevailing
prime rate plus 50 basis points. To support the requirement for overadvances
which occurred when the available collateral was not sufficient to support the
level of direct bank debt and letters of credit opened to pay for product, both
partners opened standby letters of credit in the amount of $750,000 under which
the lender was the beneficiary. The loan ($1.2 million at January 31, 2000) was
paid off in its entirety on February 16, 2000 by drawing down both partners'
standby letters of credit (See Note 5). The balance of the standby letters of
credit was cancelled effective November 2, 2000.
Note 5 - Nonrecurring Charges
In November 1999, the Company formulated a plan to cease operations of the BET
Design Studio joint venture. The joint venture generated revenues of
approximately $2.4 million and $884,000 in the years ended January 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The Company incurred losses from the joint venture of
approximately $2.0 million, $1.4 million, and $450,000 for the years ended
January 31, 2000, 1999, 1998, respectively. In connection with the plan, the
Company recorded $1.6 million of unusual and non-recurring charges, consisting
of $1.1 million in asset writedowns and $500,000 relating to a provision for
closing costs and various accrued expenses. The remaining nonrecurring balance
($251,000) relates to the reserve associated with the closure of the Company's
domestic factory that was completed by January 31, 1995. Based on current
estimates, management believes that existing accruals are adequate. Other
long-term liabilities include $156,000 and $227,000 of nonrecurring charges at
October 31, 2000 and January 31, 2000, respectively.
The status of the provision at the end of the period was:

Note 6 - Comprehensive Income
As of February 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130). The adoption of
this Statement had no impact on the Company's net income or stockholders'
equity. This pronouncement sets forth requirements for disclosure of the
Company's comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive items.
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from
transactions in other events and circumstances unrelated to net income (e.g.,
foreign currency translation gains and losses). For the nine-month periods ended
October 31, 2000 and 1999, other comprehensive income was not material.
Note 7 - Segments
The Company's reportable segments are business units that offer different
products and are managed separately. The Company operates in two segments,
licensed and non-licensed apparel. The following information is presented for

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning the Company's
business outlook or future economic performance; anticipated revenues, expenses
or other financial items; product introductions and plans and objectives related
thereto; and statements concerning assumptions made or expectations as to any
future events, conditions, performance or other matter, are "forward-looking
statements" as that term is defined under the Federal securities laws.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors
which could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in such
statements. Such risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited
to, reliance on foreign manufacturers, risks of doing business abroad, the
nature of the apparel industry, including changing consumer demand and tastes,
seasonality, customer acceptance of new products, the impact of competitive
products and pricing, dependence on existing management, general economic
conditions, as well as other risks detailed in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2000 were $88.0 million
compared to $74.5 million for the same period last year. The increase in net
sales during the quarter was attributable to an increase in sales of
non-licensed apparel ($9.1 million) and licensed apparel ($4.3 million). Net
sales for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 were $145.9 million compared to
$116.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net sales
in the nine-month period was also attributable to an increase in sales of both
non-licensed apparel ($21.3 million) and licensed apparel ($8.4 million).
Gross profit was $25.3 million, or 28.8% of net sales, for the three months
ended October 31, 2000 compared to $20.5 million, or 27.5% of net sales, for the
same period last year. Gross profit was $41.3 million, or 28.3% of net sales,
for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 compared to $30.9 million, or 26.5%
of net sales, for the same period last year. The increase in gross profit as a
percentage of net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2000 resulted
from a higher volume of commission transactions in which the Company acted as an
agent and received commission fee income. This income is included in the
non-licensed apparel segment. Commission fee income on these transactions
increased to $3.8 million during the three months ended October 31, 2000 from
$1.9 million in the comparable period in the prior year. There is no cost of
goods sold component associated with commission transactions.
The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the nine months
ended October 31, 2000 was due to higher gross margins in the non-licensed
apparel segment as the result of more sales of higher margin products and a
higher volume of commission transactions. Commission fee income increased to
$5.9 million during the nine months ended October 31, 2000 from $3.2 million in
the comparable period of the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October
31, 2000 were $8.2 million compared to $7.9 million in the three months ended
October 31, 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine
months ended October 31, 2000 were $21.8 million compared to $21.5 million for
the same period last year. Expenses relating to the BET Design Studio joint
venture that was discontinued in November 1999 were $1.0 million in the
three-month period last year and $2.7 million in the nine-month period last
year. Excluding last year's BET Design Studio expenses, the Company's
selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.4
-10-
<PAGE>
million in this year's three-month period and $3.0 million in this year's
nine-month period compared to the comparable periods last year. These increases
are primarily a result of expenses relating to the start-up of the Cole Haan,
Caterpillar and Jones New York Men's divisions, which caused increased expenses
in the licensed apparel segment. In addition, personnel expenses increased over
the prior year. Excluding the BET Design Studio expenses in the prior year,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 9.3% of net sales in the three
months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, and 14.9% of net sales in the nine
months ended October 31, 2000 compared to 16.5% in the same period in last year.
Interest expense and finance charges for the three months ended October 31, 2000
were $1.3 million compared to $1.0 million in the same period last year.
Interest expense and finance charges for the nine months ended October 31, 2000
were $2.2 million compared to $1.5 million in the same period last year. The
increase in interest expense resulted primarily from higher inventory levels in
response to increased customer orders and higher interest rates.
Income tax expense of $6.3 million reflect an effective tax rate of 40% for the
three months ended October 31, 2000 compared to income tax expense of $4.6
million (same effective tax rate) in the comparable period in the prior year.
Income tax expense of $6.9 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2000
also reflects an effective tax rate of 40%, compared to income tax expense of
$3.4 million (same effective tax rate) in the same period last year.
For the three months ended October 31, 2000, the Company had net income of $9.5
million, or $1.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.9 million, or
$1.01 per diluted share, for the comparable period in the prior year. For the
nine months ended October 31, 2000, the Company had net income of $10.4 million,
or $1.47 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.1 million, or $0.75 per
diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Net income in the three-
and nine-month periods increased as a result of the foregoing factors.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's loan agreement, which expires on May 31, 2002, provides for a
maximum line of credit in amounts that range from $45 million to $72 million
during each year of the loan term. The amounts available include direct
borrowings that range from $30 million to $52 million during each year of the
loan term. The balance of the credit line may be used for letters of credit. All
amounts available for borrowing are subject to borrowing base formulas and
overadvances specified in the agreement.
Direct borrowings bear interest at the agent's prime rate (9.5% as of December
1, 2000) or LIBOR plus 225 basis points (9.1% at December 1, 2000), at the
election of the Company. All borrowings are collateralized by the assets of the
Company. The loan agreement requires the Company, among other covenants, to
maintain certain earnings and tangible net worth levels, and prohibits the
payment of cash dividends. As of October 31, 2000, direct borrowings were $26.6
million and contingent liability under open letters of credit approximated $9.4
million. The amount borrowed under the line of credit varies based upon the
Company's seasonal requirements.
PT Balihides, the Company's Indonesian subsidiary, has a separate credit
facility with an Indonesian bank. Notes payable of approximately $1.5 million as
of October 31, 2000 and January 31, 2000 represent maximum borrowings under this
facility.

<PAGE>
In November 1999, the Company and Black Entertainment Television ("BET") decided
to discontinue their BET Design Studio joint venture. The joint venture was
started in February 1997 to provide a BET-branded clothing and accessory line.
As of October 31, 2000, BET and the Company had each contributed $3.8 million to
this joint venture.
BET Design Studio had an asset-based credit facility. Direct borrowings bore
interest at the prevailing prime rate plus 50 basis points. To support the
requirement for overadvances which occurred when the available collateral was
not sufficient to support the level of direct bank debt and letters of credit
opened to pay for product, both partners opened standby letters of credit in the
amount of $750,000 under which the lender was the beneficiary. The loan was paid
off in its entirety on February 16, 2000 by drawing down both partners' standby
letters of credit. The balance of the standby letters of credit was cancelled
effective November 2, 2000.
BET advanced $600,000 to BET Design Studio under a lending agreement. Borrowings
under this agreement bore interest at 12% during the first twelve months of the
agreement and 14% thereafter. The loan was paid off in its entirety on March 9,
2000.
On December 20, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to

Activities," as amended by SFAS NO. 137, is effective with the first quarter of
