NOTES:
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three month periodand six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through August 6, 2009 which is the date these financial statements were filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC).
On January 23, 2009, the Company entered into a series of transactions to acquire a majority interest in the licensees of its Florsheim, Stacy Adams and Nunn Bush branded shoes in the Australian, Asia Pacific and South African markets. As part of the transactions, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a 60% equity interest in a newly formed entity, Florsheim Australia Pty Ltd (“Florsheim Australia”) for approximately $3.5 million. A related subscription agreement provides that the Company’s equity interest in Florsheim Australia will decrease to 51% as an intercompany loan, initially totaling $6.4 million, is paid in accordance with its terms.
Florsheim Australia subsequently acquired the operating assets and certain liabilities related to the Florsheim business from Figgins Holdings Pty Ltd, the former Australian licensee, and acquired the stock of Florsheim South Africa Pty Ltd and Florsheim Asia Pacific Ltd, the Company’s other licensees, for a total purchase price of approximately $9.3 million. Total net sales for the combined businesses acquired were approximately $25 million for their most recent fiscal year, with the vast majority of sales under the Florsheim brand name. The acquisition included both wholesale and retail businesses, with 24 Florsheim retail stores in Australia, one Florsheim retail store in New Zealand and one retail store in Macau. The acquisition has been accounted for in these financial statements as a business combination under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”FAS”) No. 141(R), “BusinessBusiness Combinations”, or Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and the noncontrolling interest has been accounted for and reported in accordance with SFASFAS No. 160, “NoncontrollingNoncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an Amendment of ARB No. 51.”51 or ASC 810-10-65, Consolidation-Transition and Open Effective Date Information (“ASC 810-10-65”). Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired by Florsheim Australia, principally inventory, accounts receivable, leasehold improvements, accounts payable and accrued employee benefits. The consolidated financial statements of Florsheim Australia for the period of January 23 through March 31,June 30, 2009 have been consolidated into the Company’s year to date results. Acquisition costs of $370,000 were included in Florsheim Australia’s selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter results.of 2009. Additional disclosures required by SFASFAS 141(R) or ASC 805 are not provided as the Company has deemed this acquisition not material.

11. | New Accounting Pronouncement |
On May 28, 2009, the FASB issued FAS 165, Subsequent Events (“FAS 165”) or ASC 855-10, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855-10”), which requires entities to evaluate subsequent events through the date financial statements are issued. Existing guidance on subsequent events was part of the AICPA Auditing Standards. FAS 165 or ASC 855-10 is not intended to change existing practice. It requires entities to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. FAS 165 or ASC 855-10 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and the nature and estimated financial effects of certain subsequent events.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“FAS 168”). Under FAS 168, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. On the effective date of this statement, the Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 168 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

TheWholesale sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were impacted by the continued slowdown in consumer demand which began last fall and has caused retailers to reduce their inventory levels. In addition to the inventory pullback, sales in 2009 were also affected by the loss of business with retailers who have closed their doors, as well as a reduction of shipments to retailers based on credit risk. Management believes Nunn Bush sales, although down, have performed well, despite the challenging economic climate in the first quarterhalf of 2009 impacted the Company’s sales volumes, resulting in net sales decreases in the Stacy Adams2009. Consumers have shifted from higher priced products toward more moderate priced goods, and Florsheim brands. Net sales for Nunn Bush increased during this period duecontinues to itshave a strong position as a moderately priced brand in mid-tier department stores, as consumers tended to move away from higher priced products and toward more moderate priced goods.stores. Florsheim experienced the opposite impact of this consumer behavior, as it competes at the higher end of the pricing matrix in mid-tier department and chain stores. The Company’s management believes that the decrease in the sales volume of the Stacy Adams brand was due to reduced consumer spending on fashion-oriented products.products this year.
Licensing revenues for the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2009 were down compared with the same periods last year. The Company’s licensing revenues consist of royalties earned on the sales of Stacy Adams apparel and accessories in the United States, Florsheim specialty footwear and accessories in the United States, and Florsheim footwear in Mexico and certain overseas markets. For the second quarter and first quartersix months of 2009, Stacy Adams licensing revenues decreased 8%15% and 11%, respectively, as the independent footwear and apparel retailers who distribute much of this product have struggled in the current retail environment. Florsheim licensing revenues decreased approximately $260,000, mainly$250,000 and $500,000 for the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively compared with last year primarily due to the purchaseacquisition of Florsheim Australia from whom we previously earned licensing revenues.

The acquisition of Florsheim Australia contributed net sales of $7.7 million in the second quarter and $12.1 million in the first half of 2009.

The decreaseand year-to-date decreases in wholesale gross earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was a reflection ofthis year reflect cost increases from the Company’s overseas vendors that occurredand pricing pressures from retailers. In the retail division, the quarter and year to date declines in the second half of 2008, which have been partially offset by wholesale price increases. The Company has experienced a stabilization of costs since the end of 2008. Retail gross margins decreased in the first quarter of 2009 as compared with 2008 asthis year were a result of increased promotions due to the challenging retail environment in 2009.
The Company’s cost of sales does not include distribution costs (e.g., receiving, inspection or warehousing costs).

During the first threesix months of 2009, the Company generated $6.0$20.8 million in cash from operating activities compared with $2.1$12.1 million in the same period one year ago. This increase was primarily due to a larger decrease in inventory balances in the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008, partially offset by lower net earnings in 2009 compared to 2008.
