RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, which establishes the accounting and financial reporting requirements for derivative instruments. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period ended July 31, 2001. In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations". SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 141 will have a significant impact on its financial statements. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which changes the accounting treatment as it applies to goodwill and other intangible assets from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Under SFAS No. 142, proper accounting treatment requires annual assessment for any impairment of the carrying value of the assets based upon an estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit to which the assets pertain. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Impairment loss for goodwill arising from the initial application of SFAS NO.142 is to be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The effective date of this statement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142 for its fiscal year beginning February 1, 2002. The impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial results is currently being evaluated. 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On August 16, 2001, the Company signed a five-year exclusive corporate market license agreement with Nautica Apparel Inc., a subsidiary of Nautica Enterprises, Inc. The license, which is for corporate apparel, bags and accessories, covers both the United States and Canada. On August 17, 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap and cap agreement, for an aggregate notional amount of $40.0 million, in order to minimize its debt servicing costs associated with its $100.0 million of 12.25% senior subordinated notes due April 1, 2006. The swap and cap agreement are scheduled to terminate on April 1, 2006. 6 Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company cautions readers that certain important factors may affect the Company's actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this report or which are otherwise made by or on behalf of the Company.

The swap agreement is scheduled to terminate on April 1, 2006. Under the interest rate swap 9 agreement, the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments on October 1, and April 1, at a fixed rate of 12.25% and is obligated to make semi- annual interest payments on October 1, and April 1, at a floating rate based on the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 750 basis points, with an initial floating rate of 11.06% at August 17, 2001. The swap agreement has optional call provisions with trigger dates of April 1, 2003, April 1, 2004 and April 1, 2005, which contain certain premium requirements in the event the call is exercised. The cap agreement is scheduled to terminate on April 1, 2006. The first cap date is October 1, 2001, and ensures that the Company's payments under the interest rate swap will not exceed 750 basis points plus a maximum 3-month LIBOR rate of 5.75%, or 13.25%. The Company has designated the interest rate swap and cap agreements as a hedge against its $100.0 million senior subordinated notes. Accordingly, the interest rate swap and cap will be accounted for using settlement accounting and the differential to be paid or received on the interest rate swap and cap agreements will be accrued and recognized as an adjustment to interest rate expense over the life of the agreements.
