POLO RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION FOR DECEMBERJUNE 29, 20012002 AND DECEMBERJUNE 30, 20002001 IS UNAUDITED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT WHERE OTHERWISE INDICATED)
11. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation ("PRLC") and its wholly and majority
owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company", "we", "us", and
"our"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States have been condensed or omitted from this report as is permitted by
such rules and regulations however, the Company believes that the disclosures
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated
balance sheet data for March 31, 200130, 2002 is derived from the audited financial
statements which are included in the Company's report on fiscal 2002 Form 10-K,
which should be read in conjunction with these financial statements.
Effective December 30, 2001, for reporting purposes the Company changed the
fiscal year ends of its European subsidiaries as reported in the consolidated
financial statements to the Saturday closest to March 31 to conform with the
fiscal year end of the Company. Previously, certain of the European subsidiaries
were consolidated and reported on a three-month lag with a fiscal year ending
December 31. Accordingly, we have included the June 29, 2002 and March 30, 2002
balance sheets of our wholly owned European subsidiaries in the accompanying
June 29, 2002 and March 30, 2002, consolidated balance sheets. We also have
consolidated the results of operations of our wholly owned European subsidiaries
for the three months ended June 29, 2002 and March 31, 2001 in the three months
ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001 consolidated statements of income and cash
flows. Had certain of the European subsidiaries been consolidated on a
consistent fiscal year basis for the three months ended June 30, 2001, net
revenues would have been $473.3 million and net income would have been $15.7
million.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and
changes in cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented.
2(B) ACQUISITIONS
On October 31, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets of PRL Fashions of Europe SRL ("PRL Fashions" or "Italian
Licensee") which held licenses to sell our women's Ralph Lauren apparel in
Europe, our men's and boys' Polo Ralph Lauren apparel in Italy and men's and
women's Polo Jeans Co. collections in Italy. PRL Fashions had revenues of
approximately $75.0 million for their fiscal year 2000. The purchase price of this
transaction was approximately $22.0 million in cash plus the assumption of
certain liabilities and earn-out payments based on achieving profitability
targets over the first three years with a guaranteed minimum annual payment of
$3.5 million each year.
Consistent with SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, this acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and the goodwill recorded will not be amortized. The assets acquired of $15,147$15.1 million and liabilities assumed of $15,106$15.1
million were recorded at estimated fair values as determined by the Company's
management based on information currently available. Goodwill of approximately
$32.5$33.5 million has been recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the
preliminary estimate of fair market value of the net assets acquired.
The Company is in the process of obtaining independent appraisals of the
intangible assets acquired. Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price is
subject to revision, which is not expected to be material, based on the final
determination of appraised and other fair values.

POLO RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
On October 22, 2001, we acquired the Polo Brussels SA store from one of our
licensees. The purchase price of this transaction was approximately $3.0 million
in cash. Consistent with SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, the transactioncash, which was accounted for as a purchase and the goodwill is not being amortized.primarily allocated to goodwill. The sales and total assets
were not material. The proforma effect of these two acquisitions on the
historical results were not material.
3Consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, these acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the goodwill
recorded is not being amortized
2. RESTRUCTURING AND SPECIAL CHARGES
(A) 2001 OPERATIONAL PLAN
During the second quarter of Fiscalfiscal 2001, we completed an internal
operational review and formalized our plans to enhance the growth of our
worldwide luxury retail business, to better manage inventory and to increase
overall profitability (the "Operational Plan"). The major initiatives of the
Operational Plan included: refining our retail strategy; developing efficiencies
in our supply chain; and consolidating corporate strategic business functions
and internal processes.
In connection with refining our retail strategy, we closed all 12 Polo
Jeans Co. full-price retail stores and 11 under-performing Club Monaco retail
stores. Costs associated with this aspect of the Operational Plan included lease
and contract termination costs, store fixed asset write downs (primarily
leasehold improvements of $21.5 million) and severance and termination benefits.
Additionally, as a result of changes in market conditions combined with our
change in retail strategy in certain locations in which we operate full-price
retail stores, we performed an evaluation of the recoverability of the assets of
certain of these stores in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
TO BE DISPOSED OF.Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. We concluded from the results of
this evaluation that a significant permanent impairment of long-lived assets had
occurred. Accordingly, we recorded a write down of these assets (primarily
leasehold improvements) to their estimated fair value based on discounted future
cash flows.
In connection with the implementation of the Operational Plan, we recorded
a pretax restructuring charge of $128.6 million in theour second quarter of Fiscalfiscal
2001, subsequently adjusted for a $5.0 million reduction of liabilities in the
fourth quarter of Fiscalfiscal 2001. After extensive review of the Operational Plan,
and changes in business conditions in certain markets in which we operate, we
made adjustments to the Operational Plan in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.
We recorded an additional $16.0 million of lease termination costs associated
with the closure of our retail stores due to market factors that were less
favorable than originally estimated. The major components of the charge and the
activity through for the ninethree months ended DecemberJune 29, 2001, was2002 were as follows:

4. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
In June 2002, we entered into a cross currency rate swap, which terminates
November 2006. The cross currency rate swap is being used to convert Euro 105.2
million, 6.125% fixed rate borrowings into $100.0 million, LIBOR plus 1.24%
variable rate borrowings. We entered into the cross currency rate swap to
minimize the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations in both principal and
interest payments resulting from the Euro debt; and to minimize the impact of
changes in the fair value of the Euro debt due to changes in LIBOR, the
benchmark interest rate. The swap has been designated as a fair value hedge
under SFAS 133. Hedge ineffectiveness is measured as the difference between the
respective gains or losses recognized in earnings from the changes in the fair
value of the cross currency rate swap and the Euro debt; and was de minimis for

7. RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS
In AugustJuly 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, ("FASB")or "FASB", issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142.
In addition to requiring the use of the purchase method for all business
combinations, SFAS No. 141 requires intangible assets that meet certain criteria
to be

recognized as assets apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 addresses accounting and
reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets outside of a
business combination and for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to
their acquisition. Intangible assets that have finite lives will continue to be
amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 were effective
for the Company's first quarter in the fiscal year ending March 29, 2003 or for
any business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
Effective March 31, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets. This accounting standard requires that goodwill be
separately disclosed from other intangible assets in the statement of financial
position, and no longer be amortized but tested for impairment on a periodic
basis.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the amortization
of goodwill effective March 31, 2002. A reconciliation of previously reported
net income and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of
goodwill amortization net of the related income tax effect follows:

The provisions of SFAS No. 142 also require the completion of a
transitional impairment test within six months of adoption, with any impairments
treated as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. We expect to
complete the transitional impairment test during the quarter ending September
28, 2002.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS.Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations. This Statement addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Statement requires that
the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized
in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can
be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for the first
quarter in the Fiscalfiscal year ending April 3, 2004. The Company is currently evaluatingdoes not expect the

IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS.Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for
long-lived assets to be disposed of. SFAS No. 144 supersedes FASB Statement No.
121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED
ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF.Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of. However, this Statement retains the fundamental

Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products ("EITF No. 00-25"). In
November 2001, EITF No. 00-25 was codified in EITF Issue No. 01-09, Accounting
for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the
Vendor's Products). EITF No. 01-09 concluded that consideration from a vendor to
a reseller of the vendor's products is presumed to be a reduction of the selling
prices of the vendor's products and, therefore, should be characterized as a
reduction of revenue when recognized in the vendor's income statement. That
presumption is overcome and the consideration characterized as a cost incurred

The impact of consolidating the results of the European subsidiaries for
three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to a three month lag relates
primarily to their first quarter being included rather then their fourth
quarter. Traditionally, the first quarter for our European subsidiaries is
weaker then their fourth quarter.

Wholesale growthfiscal 2002. Had
certain of the European subsidiaries been reported on a consistent fiscal year
basis for the three months ended June 30, 2001, wholesale net sales would have
been $201.8 million, and the decrease would have been 7.5%. This decrease
primarily reflects increaseda strategical stream lining of the amount of product sold to
the department stores. In addition, the Lauren classification line for men was
discontinued which represented approximately $5.0 million of wholesale net sales
in the first quarter of existing products,
principallyfiscal 2002. These decreases were offset by a $23.0
million increase, approximately 101.3%, in Europe.the European wholesale business which
primarily reflects the acquisition of PRL Fashions of Europe S.R.L in October

consistent fiscal year basis for the three months ended June 30, 2001, retail
net sales would have been $217.8 million, and the increase would have been 4.3%.
This decreaseincrease is primarily driven by the 1.4% decrease7.6% increase in comparable outlet
store sales which were due to the effects of a promotionally driven and highly
competitive retail store environment and decreased customer spending due to
current economic conditions. Although the outlet business had increased sales of
approximately 6.0%, it was offset by thea 10.2% decrease in our full price retail
business. For the three month period, we had three net store openings.stores.
At DecemberJune 29, 2001,2002, we operated 234237 stores including 30compared to 232 stores in the

the three months ended DecemberJune 29, 2001,2002, from $58.1$56.8 million in the corresponding
period of Fiscal 2001. This decrease is primarily attributable to decreased
royaltyfiscal 2002. Had certain of the European subsidiaries been reported on
a consistent fiscal year basis for the three months ended June 30, 2001,
licensing revenue fromwould have been $53.7 million, resulting in a significant product licensee and the termination of a

the three months ended DecemberJune 29, 2001,2002, from $5.7$5.9 million in the comparable period
in Fiscal 2001.fiscal 2002. This decrease was primarily due to lowersignificantly increased
levels of cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended June 29, 2002
and decreased borrowings during the current quarter primarily as a result of repurchases
of a portion of our outstanding Euro debt in Fiscal 2001 and the repayment of short term
borrowings during the current quarter.

months ended DecemberJune 29, 2001,2002, from 39.5%38.5% in the corresponding period in Fiscal 2001.fiscal

NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 29, 2001 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS
ENDED DECEMBER 30, 2000
NET SALES. Net sales increased 2.7% to $1,549.6 million in the nine months
ended December 29, 2001, from $1,508.9 million in the nine months ended December
30, 2000. Wholesale net sales increased 6.3% to $805.6 million in the nine
months ended December 29, 2001, from $758.2 million in the corresponding period
of Fiscal 2001. Wholesale growth primarily reflects increased unit sales of
existing products, principally from our international wholesale business in
Europe and our domestic women's business.
Retail sales decreased by 0.9% to $744.0 million in the nine months ended
December 29, 2001, from $750.7 million in the corresponding period in Fiscal
2001. This decrease is primarily attributable to the closing of our Polo Jeans
Co. full-price retail stores during the second quarter of Fiscal 2001 in
connection with our Operational Plan and the decrease in our full price retail
store sales due to the current difficult economic environment.
Comparable store sales, which represent net sales of stores open in both
reporting periods for the full portion of such periods, decreased 3.5%. The
comparable store declines were due to the effects of a promotionally driven and
highly competitive retail store environment. At December 29, 2001, we operated
234 stores, 30 Polo brand stores, nine Polo concept stores, 54 Club Monaco
full-price stores, 95 Polo full line outlet stores, 24 Polo Jeans Co. outlet
stores, 12 European outlet stores and ten Club Monaco outlet stores.
LICENSING REVENUE. Licensing revenue increased 1.5% to $181.1 million in
the nine months ended December 29, 2001, from $178.4 million in the
corresponding period of Fiscal 2001. This increase is primarily due to strong
results from our international businesses, particularly in Asia and one license
within our home collection licensing business, offset by decreased royalty
revenue from a significant product licensee and the termination of a product
license.
18
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased to
48.2% in the nine months ended December 29, 2001, from 47.4% in the
corresponding period of Fiscal 2001. Wholesale gross margins increased
approximately 3.0% primarily due to an increase in margins from our
international wholesale business in Europe. Retail gross margins decreased 4.5%
in comparison to last year's corresponding nine month period due to higher
levels of markdowns due to the current economic environment and decreased
customer spending. Additionally, the prior year gross margin was negatively
impacted by $37.9 million of inventory write-downs recorded in the second
quarter of fiscal 2001 in connection with the implementation of the Operational
Plan. These fluctuations in gross margins were also effected by increases in
licensing revenue that has no associated cost of goods sold.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. SG&A expenses as a percentage
of net revenues decreased to 35.8% in the nine months ended December 29, 2001,
from 37.5% of net revenues in the corresponding period of Fiscal 2001. This
decrease was primarily due to expense reduction initiatives across all business
segments and the closing of our Polo Jeans Co. full price retail stores during
Fiscal 2001. Additionally, in Fiscal 2001, we recorded a charge of $18.1 million
relating to non-recurring charges associated with targeted opportunities for
improvement and other employee-related costs.
INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased to $15.2 million in
the nine months ended December 29, 2001, from $19.0 million in the comparable
period in Fiscal 2001. This decrease was due to lower levels of borrowings
during the period primarily as a result of repurchases of a portion of our
outstanding Euro debt in Fiscal 2001 and the repayment of short term borrowings
during the period.
INCOME TAXES. The effective tax rate decreased to 37.5% in the nine months
ended December 29, 2001, from 39.5% in the corresponding period in Fiscal 2001.
This decline is primarily a result of the benefitimplementation of tax
strategies implemented.
Additionally, the nine months ended December 30, 2000 included a tax benefit of
$72.9 million resulting from charges recorded in connection with the Operational
Plan.strategies.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash requirements primarily derive from working capital needs,
construction and renovation of shop-within-shops, retail expansion,
acquisitions, and other corporate activities. Our main sources of liquidity are
cash flows from operations, credit facilities and other borrowings.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $277.3$134.3 million in
the ninethree months ended DecemberJune 29, 2001,2002, from $105.3$84.1 million in the comparable
period in Fiscal 2001.fiscal 2002. This increase was primarily due to a significant decrease
in inventory levels and decreased accounts receivable dueand accounts payable which primarily relates to seasonality.the
seasonality in the European business from the European subsidiaries being
consolidated on a current basis in the three months ended June 29, 2002 as
compared to a three month lag in the comparable period in fiscal 2002.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $87.1$11.7 million in the
ninethree months ended DecemberJune 29, 20012002 as compared to $92.3$17.1 million in the comparable
period in Fiscal 2001fiscal 2002 primarily due to the decrease in capital expenditures of
approximately $6.7$3.7 million compared to the same period in the prior year offset by the funds used
to complete the acquisition of the Italian Licensee and the

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.0$5.3 million in the ninethree
months ended DecemberJune 29, 2001,2002 as compared to net cash used in financing activities
of $16.9$38.6 million, in the comparable period in Fiscal 2001.fiscal 2002. This change is
primarily due to the proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $15.6$4.1 million
and a decrease in$9.3 of proceeds from short-term borrowings offset by the repurchase of common stock offset by the

In June 1997, we entered into a credit facility with a syndicate of banks
which provides for a $225.0 million revolving line of credit available for the
issuance of letters of credit, acceptances and direct borrowings and matures on
December 31, 2002. Borrowings under the syndicated bank credit facility bear
interest, at our option, (i) at a Base Ratebase rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds
Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 1/2 of one
percent;percent, and the prime commercial lending rate of The Chase Manhattan Bank in
effect from time to time, or (ii) at the Eurodollar Rate (LIBOR) plus an interest
margin.margin based on the Federal Reserve Boards "Eurocurrency liabilities" reserve
requirements. The margin was 0.875% as of June 29, 2002.
In March 1999, in connection with our acquisition of Club Monaco, we
entered into a $100.0 million senior credit facility with a syndicate of banks
consisting of a $20.0 million revolving line of credit and an $80.0 million term
loan. The revolving line of credit is available for working capital needs and
general corporate purposes and matures on June 30, 2003. The term loan was used
to finance the acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of Club Monaco
Inc. and to repay their indebtedness.indebtedness of Club Monaco. The term loan is also repayable on
June 30, 2003. Borrowings under the 1999 senior credit facility bear interest,
at our option, at a Base Rate equal to the higher of: (i)of the Federal Funds Rate, as
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 1/2 of one percent;percent and (ii)
the prime commercial lending rate of The Chase Manhattan Bank in effect from
time to time, or at the Eurodollar Rate (LIBOR) plus an interest margin.margin based on
the Federal Reserve Board's "Eurocurrency liabilities" reserve requirements. The
margin was 0.875% as of June 29, 2002. In April 1999, we entered into interest
rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million to
convert the variable interest rate on theour 1999 senior credit facility to a fixed
rate of 5.5%.
The syndicatedOur 1997 bank credit facility and our 1999 senior bank credit facility
require that we maintain:
- a minimum consolidated net worth, and
- a maximum consolidated indebtedness ratio.
Each of these credit facilities also contain customary representations, warranties, covenants that, subject to
specified exceptions, restrict our ability to:
- make capital expenditures,
- sell or dispose of our assets,
- incur additional debt,
- incur contingent liabilities and liens,
- merge with or acquire other companies or be subject to a change of
control,
- make loans or advances or stock repurchases,
- engage in transactions with affiliates, and
- make investments.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default under each of these credit
facilities, the lenders may cease making loans, terminate the credit facility,
and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The
credit facilities specify a number of events of default, many of which are
subject to applicable grace or cure periods, including, among others, the
failure to make timely principal and interest payments, to satisfy the
covenants, regarding maintenance of net worth and leverage ratios,
limitations on indebtedness, loans, investments and incurrences of liens, and
restrictions on sales of assets and transactions with affiliates.or to maintain the required financial performance requirements
described above.
15
Additionally, the agreements provide that an event of default will occur if
Mr. Ralph Lauren and related entities fail to maintain a specified minimum
percentage of the voting power of our common stock.
In November 1999, we issued Euro 275.0 million of 6.125% notes due November
2006. Our Euro debt is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The net proceeds
from the Euro offering were $281.5 million, based on the Euro exchange rate on
the issuance date. Interest on the Euro debt is payable annually. A portion of
the net proceeds from the issuance was used to acquire our European licensePoloco while the
remaining net proceeds were retained for general corporate purposes.
In Fiscal 2001,June 2002, we entered into a cross currency rate swap, which terminates
November 2006. The cross currency rate swap is being used to convert Euro 105.2
million, 6.125% fixed rate borrowings into $100.0 million, LIBOR plus 1.24%
variable rate borrowings. We entered into the cross currency rate swap to
minimize the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations in both principal and
interest payments resulting from the Euro debt; and to minimize the impact of
changes in the fair value of the Euro debt due to changes in LIBOR, the
benchmark interest rate. The swap has been designated as a fair value hedge
under SFAS 133. Hedge ineffectiveness is measured as the difference between the
respective gains or losses recognized in earnings from the changes in the fair
value of the cross currency rate swap and the Euro debt; and was de minimis for
the three months ended June 29, 2002.
In fiscal 2003, we repurchased Euro 27.58.3 million, or $25.3$7.7 million based on
Euro exchange rates, of our outstanding Euro debt.
In FiscalAs of June 29, 2002, we repurchased an
additional Euro 1.4 million, or $1.3 million based on Euro exchange rates, of
our outstanding debt.
As of December 29, 2001, we had $74$44.9 million outstanding in direct borrowings,
$80.0 million outstanding under the term loan and $218$225.5 million outstanding in
Euro debt based on the quarter end Euro exchange rate. We were also contingently
liable for $18.2$26.1 million in outstanding letters of credit 20
primarily related to
commitments for the purchase of inventory. The weighted averageweighted-average interest rate on
outstandingour borrowings at DecemberJune 29, 2001,2002 was 5.9%.
We recognize foreign currency gains or losses in connection with our Euro
debt based on fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We recorded $3.5 million
in foreign currency loss in the three months ended June 29, 2002 and $2.8
million in foreign currency gains in the three months ended June 30, 2001.
Total cash outlays related to the Fiscalfiscal 2001 Operational Plan are expected
to be approximately $24.7$40.7 million, $22.7$27.7 million of which hashave been paid through

Capital expenditures were $61.1$12.5 million and $67.9$16.2 million in the ninethree
months ended DecemberJune 29, 20012002 and DecemberJune 30, 2000,2001, respectively. Capital expenditures
primarily reflect costs associated with the following:
o our retail stores;
o the- The expansion of our Europeanretail operations;
o- make the shop-within-shops development program which includes new shops,
renovations and expansions;
o- the expansion of our distribution facilities;
- our information systems; and
o- other capital projects.
On October 31, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets of PRL Fashions of Europe S.R.L., which holds licenses to sell
our women's Ralph Lauren apparel in Europe, our men's and boys' Polo Ralph
Lauren apparel in Italy, and our men's and women's Polo Jeans Co. collections in
Italy. The purchase price was approximately $22.0 million in cash plus the
assumption of certain liabilities and earn-out payments based on achieving
profitability targets over the first three years, with a guaranteed minimum
annual payment of $3.5 million each year.
16
In March 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, subject to
market conditions, of up to $100.0 million of our Class A common stock. Share
repurchases under this plan were to be made in the open market over a two-year period which
commenced April 1, 1998. On March 2, 2000, theThe Board of Directors authorized a two-year extension tohas extended the stock
repurchase program and on February
5, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized a further extension of the program
through March 31, 2004. Shares acquired under the repurchase
program will be used for stock option programs and for other corporate purposes.
As of DecemberJune 29, 2001,2002, we had repurchased 3,876,5063,887,094 shares of our Class A common stock
at an aggregate cost of $73.2$73.6 million.
On October 31, 2001,We believe that cash from ongoing operations and funds available under our
credit facilities and from our Euro offering will be sufficient to satisfy our
current level of operations, capital requirements, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets of PRL Fashions of Europe SRL ("PRL Fashions" or "Italian
Licensee") which held licenses to sell our women's Ralph Lauren apparel in
Europe, our men'sstock repurchase program
and boys' Polo Ralph Lauren apparel in Italy and men's and
women's Polo Jeans Co. collections in Italy. PRL Fashions had revenues of
approximately $75.0 million for their fiscal year 2000. The purchase price of
this transaction was approximately $22.0 million in cash plus the assumption of
certain liabilities and earn-out payments based on achieving profitability
targets over the first three years
21
with a guaranteed minimum annual payment of $3.5 million each year.
Consistent with SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, this acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and the goodwill recorded will not be amortized. The
assets acquired of $15,147 and liabilities assumed of $15,106 were recorded at
estimated fair values as determined by the Company's management based on
information currently available. Goodwill of approximately $32.5 million has
been recognizedother corporate activities for the excess of the purchase price over the preliminary
estimate of fair market value of the net assets acquired.
The Company isnext 12 months. We do not currently
intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the process of obtaining independent appraisals of the
intangible assets acquired. Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price is
subject to revision, which is not expected to be material, based on the final
determination of appraised and other fair values.
On October 22, 2001, we acquired the Polo Brussels SA store from one of our
licensees. The purchase price of this transaction was approximately $3.0 million
in cash. Consistent with SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, the transaction was
accounted for as a purchase and the goodwill is not being amortized. The sales
and total assets were not material. The proforma effect of these two
acquisitions on the historical results were not material.next 12 months.
SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS
Our business is affected by seasonal trends, with higher levels of
wholesale sales in our second and fourth quarters and higher retail sales in our
second and third quarters. These trends result primarily from the timing of
seasonal wholesale shipments to retail customers and key vacation travel and
holiday shopping periods in the retail segment. As a result of the growth in our
retail operations and licensing revenue, historical quarterly operating trends
and working capital requirements may not accurately reflectbe indicative of future performances.
In addition, fluctuations in sales and operating income in any Fiscalfiscal quarter
may be affected by the timing of seasonal wholesale shipments and other events
affecting retail.retail sales.
Effective December 30, 2001, for reporting purposes the Company changed the
fiscal year ends of its European subsidiaries as reported in the consolidated
financial statements to the Saturday closest to March 31 to conform with the
fiscal year end of the Company. Previously, certain of the European subsidiaries
were consolidated and reported on a three-month lag with a fiscal year ending
December 31. Accordingly, we have included the June 29, 2002 and March 30, 2002
balance sheets of our wholly owned European subsidiaries in the accompanying
June 29, 2002 and March 30, 2002, consolidated balance sheets. We also have
consolidated the results of operations of our wholly owned European subsidiaries
for the three months ended June 29, 2002 and March 31, 2001 in the three months
ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001 consolidated statements of income and cash
flows. Had certain of the European subsidiaries been consolidated on a
consistent fiscal year basis for the three months ended June 30, 2001, net
revenues would have been $473.3 million and net income would have been $15.7
million.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or "FASB", issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142.
In addition to requiring the use of the purchase method for all business
combinations, SFAS No. 141 requires intangible assets that meet certain criteria
to be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 addresses
accounting and reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets
outside of a business combination and for goodwill and other intangible assets
subsequent to their acquisition. Intangible assets that have finite lives will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142
were effective for the Company's first quarter in the fiscal year ending March
29, 2003 or for any business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
Effective March 31, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets. This accounting standard requires that goodwill be
separately disclosed from other intangible assets in the statement of financial
position, and no longer be amortized but tested for impairment on a periodic
basis.
17
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the amortization
of goodwill effective March 31, 2002. A reconciliation of previously reported
net income and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of
goodwill amortization net of the related income tax effect follows:

In April 2001, the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on
Issue No. 00-25, VENDOR INCOME STATEMENT CHARACTERISTICS OF CONSIDERATION PAID
TO A RESELLER OF THE VENDOR PRODUCTS ("Vendor Income Statement Characteristics of Consideration Paid
to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products. In November 2001, EITF No. 00-25")00-25 was
codified by the Emerging Issues Task Force in EITF Issue No. 01-09, Accounting
for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the
Vendor's Products). EITF No. 00-2501-09 concluded that consideration from a vendor to
a reseller of the vendor's products is presumed to be a reduction of the selling
prices of the vendor's products and, therefore, should be characterized as a
reduction of revenue when recognized in the vendor's income statement. That
presumption is overcome and the consideration characterized as a cost incurred
if a benefit is or will be received from the recipient of the consideration if
certain conditions are met. This pronouncement is effective for our first quarter in the Fiscal year ending
March 29, 2003. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted this pronouncement in our fourth

pronouncement on our

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities. The standard requires companies to recognize
costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather
than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs
covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee
severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued
operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 is to
be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December
31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have
a material effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial
position.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the
potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from adverse
changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. We manage these
exposures through operating and financing activities and, when appropriate,
through the use of derivative financial instruments. Our policy allows for the
use of derivative financial instruments for identifiable market risk exposures,
including interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. During the three
months ended June 29, 2002, there were significant fluctuations in the value of
the Euro. We entered into a cross currency rate swap in June 2002 to minimize
the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on the Euro debt and the impact of
fluctuations in the interest rate on the fair value of the Euro debt. Since
March 31, 2001,30, 2002, other then disclosed above, there have been no significant
changes in our interest rate and foreign currency exposures, changes in the
types of derivative instruments used to hedge those exposures, or significant
changes in underlying market conditions.
