NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1999
NOTE A - BASIS OF REPORTING
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such
statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items)
which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position
of Steven Madden, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 1999,
and the results of their operations and cash flows for the three-month period
then ended. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31,
1998 included in the Annual Report of Steven Madden, Ltd. on Form 10-K.
NOTE B - INVENTORIES
Inventories, which consist of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out method) or market.
NOTE C - NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted income per share reflects the potential
dilution assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding
options and warrants and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase outstanding
common shares.
NOTE D - PENDING LITIGATION
On or about March 13, 1998, the Company and Stav Efrat were sued by Ooga
Associated Corp. ("Ooga"), a design and construction firm previously engaged by
the Company to design and construct certain of the Company's retail shoe stores.
In this action, which is pending in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New
York, Ooga principally alleges that (i) the Company breached an oral contract
pursuant to which it engaged Ooga to exclusively design and build the Company's
retail shoe stores, (ii) the Company induced Mr. Efrat, an officer and director
of Ooga, to breach his fiduciary duties to Ooga by improperly employing his
services, and (iii) the Company misappropriated Ooga's trade secrets by
impermissibly using store designs and concepts owned by Ooga. In its lawsuit,
Ooga seeks damages consisting of amounts based on its prospective earnings under
the alleged oral contract with the Company, its lost earnings on certain
projects it claims to have abandoned or forgone in reliance on the alleged oral
contract with the Company, and on the value of the designs and concepts
allegedly misappropriated by the Company and also seeks an injunction
prohibiting the Company from using Ooga's designs or other proprietary
information, from employing any Ooga employees or interfering the Ooga's
contractual relationships with its customers. On October 22, 1998, the Court
orally dismisses Ooga's breach of contract claims and on January 7, 1999, the
Court suspended the action based on the failure of Ooga to be present for a
mandatory court conference. The action is subject to being revived upon
application by Ooga within a one year period. The Company believes that Ooga's
claims are completely without merit, and intends to vigorously contest its
lawsuit.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
CONSOLIDATED:
Sales for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 were $26,731,000 or 62%
higher than the $16,511,000 recorded in the comparable period of 1998. The
increase in sales is due to several factors including additional wholesale
accounts, increased reorders, EDI size replenishment, increased retail sales due
to the opening of twelve additional stores and three outlet stores during 1998
and three additional retail stores and one additional outlet store in the first
quarter of 1999. Also, the Company's new l.e.i. Wholesale Division ("l.e.i.
Wholesale") was launched in the third quarter of 1998 shipping to department
stores throughout the country. l.e.i. Wholesale generated revenue of $5,378,000
for the three month period ended March 31, 1999. As a result of additional
distribution, management feels that "Steve Madden" as a brand name has increased
in popularity nationwide. In turn, increased sales have enabled the Company to
expand its advertising and in store concept efforts, all of which have
contributed to the continuing increase in sales.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 43% in 1998 to 41% in 1999
due to rapid growth of Company's l.e.i. product line, which generally has lower
selling prices per pair and lower gross margin. Also, the decrease was due to
the changing product mix in Madden Wholesale in 1999 compared to 1998.
Additionally, higher margin sneakers sales dropped in 1999.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by 45% to
$9,353,000 in 1999 from $6,451,000 in 1998. The increase in SG&A is due
primarily to a 47% increase in payroll, bonuses and related expenses from
$2,475,000 in 1998 to $3,628,000 in 1999. Additionally, selling, designing and
licensing costs increased expenses by 80% from $769,000 in 1998 to $1,387,000 in
1999. This is due in part to an increase in sales in the current period and to
the Company's increased focus on selling, designing, and licensing activities.
The increase in the number of retail outlets and expanded office facilities
resulted in an increase in occupancy, telephone, utilities, computer,
printing/supplies and depreciation expenses by 46% from $1,533,000 in 1998 to
$2,242,000 in 1999.
Income from operations for 1999 was $2,280,000 which represents an increase of
$941,000 or 70% over the income from operations of $1,339,000 in 1998. Net
income increased by 83% to $1,411,000 in 1999 from $773,000 in 1998.
WHOLESALE DIVISIONS:
Sales from the Steve Madden Wholesale Division ("Madden Wholesale"), accounted
for $12,256,000 or 46% and $10,299,000 or 62% of total sales in the three month
period ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage
9
<PAGE>
of sales decreased from 40% in 1998 to 37% in 1999 due to the changing product
mix in Madden Wholesale in 1999 compared to 1998. Additionally, higher margin
sneakers sales dropped in 1999. Operating expenses increased by 8%, from
$3,586,000 in 1998 to $3,855,000 in 1999. This increase is due to an increase in
payroll and payroll related expenses principally due to the hiring of additional
management personnel and an increase in occupancy expenses due to additional
warehouse space needed for expanding EDI size replenishment inventory. Madden
Wholesale income from operations was $836,000 in 1999 compared to income from
operations of $619,000 in 1998.
Sales from the Diva Acquisition Corp. Wholesale Division ("Diva Wholesale")
which markets the "David Aaron" brand name in footwear accounted for $1,455,000
or 5%, and $1,929,000 or 12%, of total sales in the three month period ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
increased from 26% in 1998 to 31% in 1999 due to the purchase of a higher
percentage of shoes from overseas suppliers, resulted in a lower cost per pair
in 1999 compared to 1998. Operating expenses decreased by 27% from $365,000 in
1998 to $268,000 in 1999 due to decreases in management payroll, selling and
designing expenses. Income from operations from Diva was $177,000 in 1999
compared to income from operations of $139,000 in 1998.
The Company's new l.e.i. Wholesale Division ("l.e.i. Wholesale") commenced
shipping to department stores throughout the country in third quarter of 1998.
l.e.i. Wholesale generated revenue of $5,378,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1999. l.e.i has been well received and has added to its
distribution during the first quarter. l.e.i. is sold primarily in department
stores, including Macy's - east and west, Burdines, Rich's, Hecht's, Filene's,
Foley's, Dayton Hudson, Belk and Penney's. l.e.i is also being well received in
specialty store chains such as Wet Seal and Journey's. l.e.i now sells in over
2000 doors in the United States.
RETAIL DIVISION:
Sales from the Retail Division accounted for $7,642,000 or 29% and $4,283,000 or
26% of total revenues in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in Retail
Division sales is primarily due to the Company's opening of twelve additional
stores and three outlet stores during 1998 and three additional retail stores
and one additional outlet store during first quarter of 1999 all of which
generated aggregate sales of $3,046,000. Same store sales for the three month
period ended March 31, 1999 increased by 10% over the same period of 1998. This
increase in same store sales was driven by the demand for sandals with a wedge
bottom and Maryjane styles of dress shoes. Also, during the first quarter of
1999, the Company completed it's stevenmadden.com internet site fulfillment
center and expanded the number of workstations at the Long Island City offices
dedicated to internet sales. The actual number of hits on the Company's site
(7.1 million), unique users (110,000) and the conversion rate (3.2%) during the
first quarter all exceeded the Company's projections. In the first quarter of
1999, the internet site generated sales equal to 73% of last years total sales.
As the Company offers additional styles through its stevenmadden.com site,
business on the site continues to grow.
10
<PAGE>
Gross profit as a percentage of sales remains the same in the Retail Division.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Retail Division increased
to $3,818,000 in 1999 from $2,183,000 in 1998. This increase is due to increases
in payroll and related expenses, occupancy, printing, computer and depreciation
expenses as a result of opening twelve additional stores and three outlet stores
during 1998 and three additional retail stores and one additional retail outlet
store in the firs quarter of 1999. Income from operations from the retail
division was $461,000 in 1999 compared to income from operations of $215,000 in
1998.
ADESSO-MADDEN DIVISION:
Adesso-Madden, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, generated
commission revenues of $550,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999
which represents a decrease over the commission revenues of $683,000 in 1998 due
to a shift by JC Penneys from ordering goods through Adesso Madden to ordering
goods from l.e.i. Wolesale. However, the first cost division continues to expand
its business by introducing additional styles in Kmart, Mel Disco and Target -
as well as, style of new brand Jordache. During the first quarter of 1999, the
Company received orders from Walmart for eight styles of the Jordache footwear
collection of women's and girls. The Company expects the first shipments of
Jordache shoes to be made in June of 1999. Operating expenses increased by 37%
from $317,000 in 1998 to $435,000 in 1999 due to increases in occupancy,
computer and payroll and payroll related expenses. Income from operations from
Adesso-Madden was $115,000 in 1999 compared to income from operations of
$366,000 in 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had working capital of $34,521,000 at March 31, 1999 which
represents an increase of $16,375,000 in working capital from March 31,1998.
The Company's customers purchasing shoes consist principally of department
stores and specialty stores, including shoe boutiques. Presently, the Company
sells approximately sixty percent (60%) of its products to department stores,
including Federated Department Stores (Bloomingdales, Bon Marche, Burdines,
Macy's and Rich's), May Department Stores (Famous Barr, Filene's, Foley's,
Hecht's, Kaufmann's, Meier & Frank and Robinsons May), Dillard's, Dayton-Hudson
and Nordstorm, approximately forty percent (40%) to specialty stores, including
Journey's, Wet Seal and The Buckle and catalog retailers, including Victoria's
Secret and Fingerhut. Federated Department Stores and Nordstorm's presently
account for approximately twenty percent (20%) and seventeen percent (17%) of
the Company's sales, respectively.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
During the three month period ended March 31, 1999, cash used by operating
activities was $519,000. Uses of cash arose principally from an increase in
accounts receivable factored of $4,854,000 and an increase in prepaid expenses
11
<PAGE>
and other assets. Cash was provided principally by an increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $1,715,000 and a decrease in inventories of
$928,000.
The Company has lease agreements for office, warehouse, and retail space,
expiring at various times through 2010. Future obligations under these lease
agreements total approximately $33,000,000.
The Company has employment agreements with various officers currently providing
for aggregate annual salaries of approximately $1,550,000, subject to annual
bonuses and annual increases as may be determined by the Company's Board of
Directors. In addition, as part of the employment agreements, the Company is
committed to pay incentive bonuses based on income before interest, depreciation
and taxes to the certain officers.
The Company continues to increase its supply of products from foreign
manufacturers, the majority of which are located in Brazil and Mexico. Although
the Company has not entered into long-term manufacturing contracts with any of
these foreign companies, the Company believes that a sufficient number of
alternative sources exist outside of the United States for the manufacture of
its products if current suppliers need to be replaced. In addition, because the
Company deals with U.S. currency for all transactions and intends to continue to

name in the mass channels of distribution, such as Walmart. The Company believes
that this strategy will continue to support the growth of its Adesso Madden
subsidiary shipping in June 1999.
YEAR 2000
The Company recognizes that a challenging problem exists in that many computer
systems worldwide do not have the capability of recognizing the year 2000 or the
years thereafter. No easy technological "quick fix" has yet been developed for
this problem. The Company is expending approximately $200,000 to assure that its
computer systems are reprogrammed in time to effectively deal with transactions
in the year 2000 and beyond. This "year 2000 Computer Problem" creates risk for
the Company from unforeseen problems in its own computer systems and from third
parties with whom the Company deals. Such failures of the Company and/or third
parties' computer systems could have a material adverse effect on the Company
and its business in the future.
INFLATION
The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material adverse effect on
sales or income during the past several years. Increases in supplies or other
operating costs could adversely affect the Company's operations; however, the
Company believes it could increase prices to offset increases in costs of goods
sold or other operating costs.
