Item 1. Financial statements Page 6
LITTLE SWITZERLAND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations
of Little Switzerland, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries
L.S. Holding, Inc. and L.S. Wholesale, Inc. All significant intercompany
balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim financial statements
are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of November 30,
1996 and December 2, 1995 and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the interim periods presented. It is suggested that these interim financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Company's latest report on Form 10-K.
Effective with the second quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Company adopted
a "4-5-4" fiscal calendar wherein each fiscal quarter contains two four week
periods and one five week period, with each period beginning on a Sunday and
ending on a Saturday. Previously, the Company used calendar months for its
fiscal periods. The purpose of this change is to provide more consistent
comparability between fiscal periods. The change in fiscal calendar resulted in
three less days in the six month period of the current year, as compared to the
prior year. Management estimates that these three days represent approximately a
$.01 per share net income in the prior six month period. There was no fiscal
calendar difference in the three month period, this year compared to last year.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year, due
to the seasonal nature of the Company's operations.
2. RESTATEMENT
In July, 1997 management disclosed to its independent auditors that certain
transactions may have been recorded in error on the books of the Company. As a
result, the Company engaged Arthur
<PAGE>
FORM 10-Q/A
Page 7
LITTLE SWITZERLAND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Andersen, LLP to evaluate the matter and determine the impact, if any, on
the Company's previously and currently reported consolidated financial
statements. After extensive review, analysis and evaluation, which focused on
unlocated differences in cash balances, management believes that an employee
defalcation has occurred during the current fiscal year. The estimated loss of
approximately $481,000 and $758,000 has been classified as a general and
administrative expense in the accompanying restated consolidated statements of
income for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 1996,
respectively.
3. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Company enters into a number of transactions with Town & Country
Corporation, of which two of the Company's Directors are Executive Officers. The
Company purchases a portion of its merchandise from Town & Country and its
affiliated companies at prices which approximate arm's-length transactions.
5. CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has available a total of $17.5 million in unsecured credit
facilities, of which $3.9 million is available for borrowing with maturities
ranging from one to three years from November 30, 1996. Any unfunded portion of
the facilities can be withdrawn at the bank's discretion. Outstanding borrowings
against these credit facilities totaled $13.6 million as of November 30, 1996.
Additionally, in February 1996, the Company secured term debt
<PAGE>
FORM 10-Q/A
Page 8
LITTLE SWITZERLAND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
of approximately $8.9 million from its two lead banks to finance the
acquisition of the fixtures, leasehold rights and inventories of two stores in
Barbados. Interest on this debt accrues at an annual interest rate of
approximately 7.25%, and is payable monthly. The principal is payable in equal
quarterly payments over a four year period, commencing March 1997. As of
November 30, 1996, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants
related to its unsecured and term debt agreements. Additionally, the Company has
available separate facilities for foreign exchange contracts.
6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during each period. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share
have not been presented as they are within three percent of simple earnings per
share.
7. ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the liability method in accounting for income taxes in
accordance with SFAS No. 109. This standard determines deferred income taxes
based on the estimated future tax effects of any differences between the
financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, given the
provisions of the enacted tax laws.
8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company accounts for long-lived and intangible assets in accordance
with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for
Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of. The Company continually reviews its
intangible assets for events or changes in circumstances which might indicate
that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company
assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the
amortization of such intangibles over their remaining lives can be
<PAGE>
FORM 10-Q/A
Page 9
LITTLE SWITZERLAND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
recovered through projected undiscounted future results. The amount of
impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future results
using a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of funds.
9. STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 123 -
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In December 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which is to become effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 123 requires employee
stock-based compensation to be either recorded or disclosed at its fair value.
Management intends to continue to account for employee stock-based compensation
under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and will not adopt the new
accounting provision for employee stock- based compensation under SFAS No. 123,
but will include the additional required disclosures in the fiscal 1997 year end
financial statements.
10. ADVERTISING
The Company expenses the costs of advertising as advertisements are printed
and distributed. The Company's advertising consists primarily of advertisements
with local and national travel magazines which are produced on a periodic basis
and distributed to visiting tourists, and fees paid for promotional "port
lecturer" programs directed primarily at cruise ship passengers.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In September 1995, Hurricanes Luis and Marilyn inflicted damage to several
of the Company's stores and caused significant damage to various islands'
infrastructures, including hotels and other tourist facilities. As of November
30, 1996, all stores have reopened.
<PAGE>

LITTLE SWITZERLAND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
The Company has settled all outstanding claims related to the hurricanes
with its insurance carrier. In connection with this final settlement, the
Company received approximately $13.4 million in property and business
interruption proceeds. The Company recorded a net gain of approximately $4.7
million in fiscal 1996, after write-offs related to damaged assets of
approximately $8.1 million, including furniture and fixtures, inventory and
other assets related to stores affected by the hurricanes. In addition,
approximately $560,000, representing fiscal 1997 lost profits for a store in
Marigot not reopened until November 1996, was recorded as deferred income on the
Company's consolidated balance sheet as of June 1, 1996. In the current quarter
and six month period, the Company recorded $132,000 and $560,000, respectively,
of that amount as business interruption insurance proceeds, which represents
lost profits for the closed Marigot store.
The Company is insured for property losses and related business
interruption losses in excess of 5% of the insured value of the property subject
to a claim. For fiscal years 1995 and 1996, the Company was only insured for
wind related losses in excess of $5 million, subject to certain deductibles.
12. ACQUISITION
On February 16, 1996, World Gift Imports (Barbados), Inc., a subsidiary of
LS Holding, Inc. which is a subsidiary of Little Switzerland, Inc. (the
"Company"), purchased the leasehold rights, fixtures and inventories of two
retail stores located in Barbados, West Indies, from Dacosta Mannings Inc., a
subsidiary of Barbados Shipping & Trading Company Limited. The two stores were
previously operated under the name of Louis Bayley and sold merchandise similar
to that carried in the Company's retail stores, such as name brand watches,
jewelry, china, crystal and gift items at duty free prices. The Company began
operating the two stores as "Little Switzerland" stores on February 19, 1996.
<PAGE>
FORM 10-Q/A

LITTLE SWITZERLAND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
The purchase price of approximately $10.6 million was financed by bank
borrowing provided by the Company's two primary banks, Chase Bank and Bank of
Nova Scotia, of approximately $8.9 million and the issuance of preferred stock
of approximately $1.6 million by World Gift Imports (Barbados), Inc. to the
seller. The purchase price is subject to adjustment three and four years after
the closing date, based on the sales performance of the two purchased stores and
any additional stores that may be opened by the Company in Barbados during that
period. As a part of the purchase agreement, the Company pays to the seller a
management fee of 2.5% of its Barbados stores' annual sales up to $15 million
and 1.25% of annual sales in excess of $15 million, so long as the preferred
stock is unredeemed. The preferred stock may be redeemed by the Company at face
value at any time after three years from the date of close through nine years
from the date of close. Following that period, the Company retains the right of
first refusal to match any bona fide offer from a third party to purchase the
preferred stock.
The Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase transaction effective
as of February 16, 1996, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 16, "Business Combinations", and accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements for the period subsequent to February 16, 1996 reflect the purchase
price allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired, based on their
estimated fair values as of February 16, 1996, which may be revised at a later
date. However, the Company does not expect material changes to the allocation of
the purchase price.
Unaudited pro forma operating results of the Company for the six months
ended December 2, 1995 as adjusted for the debt financing and estimated effects
of the acquisition as if it had occurred on June 1, 1995, are as follows:
Net sales................................... $26,540,000
Net (loss).................................. (2,366,000)
Net (loss) per share........................ (.28)
Weighted average shares outstanding......... 8,454,000

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET SALES
Net sales for the second quarter ended November 30, 1996 were $17.5 million
or 79.0% higher than net sales of $9.8 million for the corresponding period last
year. Net sales of $33.3 million for the six month period ended November 30,
1996 were 39.9% higher than net sales of $23.8 million for the corresponding
period last year. The increase in net sales is primarily the result of sales
this year from stores that were closed for all or part of the prior year periods
due to Hurricanes Luis and Marilyn in September 1995, and sales generated by
four new stores, the Royal Plaza store in Aruba, the Juneau store in Alaska and
two stores in Barbados.
Net sales of $4.6 million for stores which were open for the full three
month period this year and last year decreased 36.5% from net sales of $7.2
million for the same period last year. Net sales of $9.2 million for stores
which were open for the full six month period this year decreased 23.5% from net
sales of $12.0 million for the same period last year. These decreases reflect
the temporary shift of tourism last year to islands such as Aruba and Curacao
that were undamaged by Hurricanes Luis and Marilyn, in September 1995.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales during the three and six month
periods ended November 30, 1996 were 43.7% and 43.6%, respectively, compared to
the three and six month periods ended December 2, 1995 of 42.8% and 43.1%,
respectively. This increase in gross margin percentage reflects the
strengthening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the European currencies in which
the Company purchases a substantial portion of its merchandise, and to a
favorable change in the mix of merchandise sold.

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Second quarter selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A")
increased 25.9% to $8.0 million for the three month period ended November 30,
1996 from $6.4 million for the same period last year. As a percent to net sales,
SG&A expenses decreased to 45.0% for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 from
65.3% for the same quarter last year. Six month SG&A increased 25.6% to 15.9
million for the period ended November 30, 1996 from $12.7 million for the same
period last year. As a percent to net sales, SG&A decreased to 47.9% for the six
month period this year from 53.3% for the same period last year. In July, 1997
management disclosed to its independent auditors that certain transactions may
have been recorded in error on the books of the Company. As a result, the
Company engaged Arthur Andersen, LLP to evaluate the matter and determine the
impact, if any, on the Company's previously and currently reported consolidated
financial statements. After extensive review, analysis and evaluation, which
focused on unlocated differences in cash balances, management believes that an
employee defalcation has occurred during the current fiscal year. The estimated
loss of approximately $481,000 and $758,000 has been classified as a general and
administrative expense in the accompanying restated consolidated statements of
income for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 1996,
respectively.
BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE PROCEEDS
For the three and six month periods ended November 30, 1996, the Company
recorded $132,000 and $560,000, respectively, as Business interruption insurance
proceeds, which represents the insurance recovery for lost profits from its
closed Marigot store during the periods.
OTHER
Net interest expense for the six month periods ended November 30, 1996 and
December 2, 1995 totaled $768,000 and $181,000, respectively. The increase is
due to higher average borrowings this year to support construction and
inventories for two new stores, and the interest on long term debt utilized in
the acquisition of the fixtures, leasehold rights and inventories of two stores
in Barbados in February 1996.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Company's effective income tax rates for the six month periods ended
November 30, 1996 and December 2, 1995 consisted of a benefit of approximately
18% for each period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used in operations during the six month period ended November 30,
1996 was $4.4 million, compared to $1.3 million used in operations for the same
six month period last year. The increase in net cash used in operations
primarily reflects increases in inventories of $6.1 million and prepaid expenses
and other current assets of $1.6 million, and a decrease in accrued and
currently deferred income taxes of $1.5 million, partially offset by a $5.2
million increase in accounts payable.
The Company's working capital position as of November 30, 1996 decreased to
$29.7 million from $32.6 million at June 1, 1996. Current ratios were 2.0 and
2.6 as of the same periods, respectively. Capital expenditures were
approximately $2.7 million during the six month period ended November 30, 1996,
compared to approximately $2.8 million during the same period last year. Major
capital expenditures this year include new in-store merchandise systems and
related hardware, upgrade of the Company's central computer system, a new store
in Juneau, Alaska and the refurbishment of stores in St. Thomas, Marigot and
Antigua.
The Company has total unsecured credit facilities of $17.5 million provided
by its two lead banks. As of November 30, 1996, short-term borrowings of $13.6
million were outstanding against these facilities. Additionally, the Company has
secured facilities through its two lead banks for the acquisition of the
leasehold rights, fixed assets and inventory of two stores in Barbados. The
total borrowing provided for the acquisition was $8.9 million at an approximate
7 1/4% interest rate, with terms of interest only, for the first year and equal
principal payments due quarterly over the following three years. It remains
management's expectation that funds available from operations and bank financing
will be sufficient to fund operations and expansion for at least the next three
years.
