The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Perry Ellis International, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Perry Ellis” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows required by GAAP. These consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2004. Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

In our opinion, the information presented reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (moving average cost) or market. Cost principally consists of the purchase price, customs duties, freight, insurance and commissions to buying agents.

Borrowings and availability under letter of credit facilities consist of the following as of:

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives of the improvements. The useful lives are as follows:

Intangible assets primarily represent the carrying value of costs capitalized in connection with the acquisitions of brand names and license rights. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” identifiable intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually as of February 1^st of each year. As a result of this evaluation, it was determined that there was no impairment of recorded intangible assets as of February 1, 2004.

Management reviews long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the asset to its estimated fair value. Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on management’s best estimate of assumptions concerning future conditions.

The Company’s accounting policy relating to advertising and related costs is to expense these costs in the period incurred. Advertising and related costs were approximately ~~$3.5~~$5.8 million and ~~$3.6~~$3.8 million for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and ~~$10.7~~$16.4 million and ~~$6.3~~$10.1 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee members of the Board using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. As required by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and SFAS No. 148,“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure” the Company presents certain pro forma and other disclosures related to stock-based compensation plans as if compensation cost for options granted had been determined in accordance with the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123 as follows:

Basic net income ~~(loss)~~ per share is computed by dividing net income ~~(loss)~~ by the weighted average shares of outstanding common stock. The calculation of diluted net income ~~(loss)~~ per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator includes potentially dilutive common stock. The potentially dilutive common stock included in the Company’s computation of diluted net income ~~(loss)~~ per share includes the effects of the stock options as determined using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income per share:

Comprehensive income ~~(loss)~~ is comprised of net income and the effect of foreign currency translation reflected in stockholders’ equity. Comprehensive income ~~(loss)~~ was ~~($2.6)~~$7.5 million and ~~($2.5)~~$1.8 million for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively and ~~$5.6~~$13.1 million and ~~$3.2~~$5.0 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,”our principal business segments are grouped into the generation of revenues from sale of products and royalties from licensing activity. These segments are identified and managed by the Company based on the products and services offered by each. The product segment derives its revenues from the design, importation and distribution of apparel to various retail channels, which include department stores, national and regional chain stores, mass merchants, specialty stores, sporting goods stores, green grass golf shops, the corporate incentive market, as well as clubs, and independent retailers in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. The licensing segment derives its revenues from royalties associated with the licensing of its trademarks to third parties, principally Perry Ellis^®, Jantzen^®, John Henry^®, Manhattan^® and Munsingwear^®. Trademark costs have been allocated among the segments where the brands are shared. Shared selling, general and administrative expenses are allocated amongst the segments based upon department utilization rates.

On June 19, 2003, wethe Company acquired Salant Corporation. The aggregate merger cost paid by us was approximately $90.9 million, comprised of approximately $51.9 million in cash ($34.5 million plus cash acquired of $17.4 million), approximately $35.6 million worth of newly issued Perry Ellis common stock and approximately $3.4 million in merger costs.

Salant licensed the Perry Ellis brand from the Company for men’s sportswear, dress shirts, dress bottoms and accessories, and derived approximately $164.3 million, or 65%, of its fiscal 2002 revenues, from the sale of Perry Ellis products. Salant was the Company’s largest licensee of Perry Ellis branded apparel. The remaining $87.7 million of Salant’s fiscal 2002 revenue was made up of

sales of product under Salant’s owned brands such as Axis^{^®} and Tricots St. Raphael^{^®}, sales under license agreements for use of the JNCO^{^®} and Ocean Pacific^{^®} brands, as well as several private label programs.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Purchase accounting adjustments include fair value adjustments and the allocation of the excess of fair value over purchase price as required under SFAS 141:

The pro forma financial information presented below, gives effect to the Salant acquisition, as if it occurred as of February 1, 2003. Salant’s results are reflected in the Company’s income statement for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004.

~~The~~As of October 31, 2004, the Company ~~expects to contribute $0.2~~contributed $0.1 million to these pension ~~plans~~plans. No further contributions are expected during fiscal 2005.

On June 1, 2004, the Company sold an additional 950,000 shares of common stock in an offering. Total proceeds received from the offering were ~~$21.2~~$21.1 million, net of offering costs of $0.4 million.

On September 30, 2004, the company amended its senior credit facility (“Facility”) with Congress Financial Corporation. The following are the significant amendments to the Facility. The term of the Facility was extended from September 2005 to September 2007. The eligible factor

receivables were increased to $30 million from $20 million for purposes of the borrowing base. Additionally, the minimum spread above the “Eurodollar Rate” was decreased form 2.0% to 1.6%.

The Company paid $327 thousand in costs, in connection with the amendment. These costs are being amortized over the new term of the Facility.

The Company has entered into derivative financial instruments in order to manage the overall borrowing costs associated with its senior subordinated notes and senior secured notes.

At ~~July~~October 31, 2004, the Company had an interest rate swap and option (the “$57 million Swap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $57 million in order to minimize the debt servicing costs associated with the senior secured notes. The $57 million Swap Agreement is a fair value hedge as it has been designated against the senior secured notes carrying a fixed rate of interest and converts such notes to variable rate debt. The interest rate swap contracts are reflected at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the $57 million Swap Agreement recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was ~~$3.2~~$1.2 million as of ~~July~~October 31, 2004.

At ~~July~~October 31, 2004, the Company had an interest rate floor agreement (the “$57 million Floor Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $57 million associated with the senior secured notes. The $57 million Floor Agreement is scheduled to terminate on March 15, 2005. Under the $57 million Floor Agreement, the Company must pay the difference between the three-month LIBOR rate and 1.50% for all rate resets in which the LIBOR is below 1.50%. When the LIBOR is equal to or greater than 1.50%, the Company makes no payments under the $57 million Floor Agreement.

The $57 million Floor Agreement did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, resulting in ~~$0.04 million~~$1 thousand and $0.1 million decrease of recorded interest expense on the consolidated statement of ~~operations~~income for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 respectively. The fair value of the $57 million Floor Agreement recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was zero as of ~~July~~October 31, 2004.

At ~~July~~October 31, 2004, the Company was party to an interest rate cap agreement (the “$57 million Cap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $57.0 million associated with the senior secured notes. The $57 million Cap Agreement is scheduled to terminate on March 15, 2009. The $57 million Cap Agreement caps the interest rate on the senior secured notes at 10%.

The $57 million Cap Agreement did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, resulting in a ~~$0.3~~$0.2 million and ~~$0.2~~$0.4 million increase in interest expense in the consolidated statement of ~~operations~~income for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, respectively. The fair value of the $57 million Cap Agreement recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was ~~($0.5)~~$(0.7) million as of ~~July~~October 31, 2004.

In conjunction with the Company’s September 2003 offering of $150.0 million of 8 7/8% senior subordinated notes due September 15, 2013, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements (the “$150 million Swap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million in order to minimize the debt servicing costs associated with the new senior subordinated

notes. The $150 million Swap Agreement is scheduled to terminate on September 15, 2013. Under the $150 million Swap Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a fixed rate of 8 7/8% and is obligated to make semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a floating rate based on the ~~six-month~~nine-month LIBOR rate plus 394 basis points for the period from September 22, 2003 through September 15, 2013. The $150 million Swap Agreement has optional call provisions with trigger dates of September 15, 2008, September 15, 2009, September 15, 2010 and September 15, 2011, which contain premium requirements in the event the call is exercised.

The $150 million Swap Agreement is a fair value hedge as it has been designated against the 8 7/8% senior subordinated notes carrying a fixed rate of interest and converts such notes to variable rate debt. The interest rate swap contracts are reflected at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the $150 million Swap Agreement recorded on the consolidated balance sheet was ~~($3.2)~~$3.1 million as of ~~July~~October 31, 2004.

The Company does not currently have a significant exposure to foreign exchange risk and accordingly, has not entered into any transactions to hedge against those risks.

The Company accounts for barter credits consistent with EITF 93-11. Barter credits are recorded at the fair market value of the assets exchanged, and represent purchasing value for goods and services in established barter markets. The Company reviews its trade credits periodically to assess the fair value of carrying amounts. In fiscal year 2005, the Company recorded net sales and cost of sales of $5.1 million, in connection with a barter transaction.

Perry Ellis International, Inc. and several of its subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes on a joint and several basis. As such, the following consolidating condensed financial statements, which present, in separate columns: Perry Ellis, the guarantors on a combined and the non-guarantors on a consolidated basis are required to be presented. Additional columns present eliminating adjustments and consolidated totals as of ~~July~~October 31, 2004 and January 31, 2004, and for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 and 2003. The Company has not presented separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the combined guarantors because management has determined that such information is not material to investors.

~~Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “Perry Ellis,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” include Perry Ellis International, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References in this report to the Salant acquisition refer to our acquisition of Salant Corporation that was completed in June 2003. This management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2004.

We caution readers that this report includes “forward-looking statements” as that term is used in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations rather than historical facts and they are indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “envision,” and similar words or phrases. We have based such forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond our control.

Some of the factors that could affect our financial performance, cause actual results to differ from our estimates, or underlie such forward-looking statements, are set forth in various places in this report. These factors include:

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are valid only as of the date they were made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise.

Included in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2004 is a summary of all significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We follow the accounting methods and practices as required by Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In particular, our critical accounting policies and areas we use judgment in are the areas of revenue recognition, the estimated collectability of accounts receivable, the recoverability of obsolete or overstocked inventory and the impairment on long-lived assets which are our trademarks.

Revenue Recognition. Sales are recognized at the time legal title to the product passes to the customer, generally FOB Perry Ellis’ distribution facilities, net of trade allowances and a provision for estimated returns and other allowances. Royalty income is recognized when earned on the basis of the terms specified in the underlying contractual agreements. We believe that our revenue recognition policies conform to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.

Accounts Receivable. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivables for estimated trade discounts, co-op advertising, allowances provided to retail customers to flow goods through the retail channel, and losses resulting from the inability of our retail customers to make required payments considering historical and anticipated trends. Judgment is critical because some retail customers are currently operating in bankruptcy or have experienced financial difficulties. Additional allowances might be required if their financial condition were to worsen.

Inventories. Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. We evaluate all of our inventory style-size-color stock keeping units, or SKUs, to determine excess or slow-moving SKUs based on orders on hand and projections of future demand and market conditions. For those units in inventory that are so identified, we estimate their market value or net sales value based on current realization trends. If the projected net sales value is less than cost, on an individual SKU basis, we provide an allowance to reflect the lower value of that inventory. This methodology

recognizes projected inventory losses at the time such losses are evident rather than at the time goods are actually sold.

Intangible Assets. We have, at the present time, only one class of indefinite lived assets, trademarks. We review our intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for possible impairments on an annual basis in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and perform impairment testing as of February 1^st of each year. We evaluate the “fair value” of our identifiable intangible assets for purposes of recognition and measurement of impairment losses. Evaluating indefinite useful life assets for impairment involves certain judgments and estimates, including the interpretation of current economic indicators and market valuations, our strategic plans with regard to our operations, historical and anticipated performance of our operations and other factors. If we incorrectly anticipate these trends or unexpected events occur, our results of operations could be materially affected.

Deferred Taxes. We account for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to that portion which is expected to more likely than not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods prior to the expiration of the related net operating losses. If our estimates and assumptions about future taxable income are not appropriate, the value of our deferred tax asset may not be recoverable.

Retirement-Related Benefits. The pension obligations related to our defined benefit pension plans are developed from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions, including the discount rate, expected return of plan assets, and other factors, which are updated on an annual basis. Management is required to consider current market conditions, including changes in interest rates, in making these assumptions. Actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods, and therefore, generally affect the recognized pension expense or benefit and our pension obligation in future periods. The fair value of plan assets is based on the performance of the financial markets, particularly the equity markets. The equity markets can be, and recently have been, very volatile. Therefore, the market value of the plan assets can change dramatically in a relatively short period of time. Additionally, the measurement of the plan’s benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, if the equity market declines and/or interest rates decrease, the plan’s estimated accumulated benefit obligation could exceed the fair value of the plan assets and therefore, we would be required to establish an additional minimum liability, which would result in a reduction in shareholder’s equity for the amount of the shortfall. For fiscal 2004, and through the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, we ~~did~~were not required to record an additional minimum pension liability ~~calculated~~ under the provisions of SFAS No. 87.

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 compared to three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003.

Results of Operations - three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 compared to three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003.

Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 were ~~$121.0, an increase~~$154.7, a decrease of ~~$34.0,~~$0.3, or ~~39.1%~~0.2%, from ~~$87.0~~$155.0 million for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. The slight decrease was due mainly to decreases in our core wholesale business.

Net sales for the nine months ended October 31, 2004 were $467.9 million, an increase of $124.0 million, or 36.1%, from $343.9 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2003. The increase was due mainly to an increase of approximately ~~$17.2~~$80.0 million in net sales generated by the Salant business, which we acquired in the Salant acquisition in June 2003, an increase of ~~$2.9 million in~~

net sales generated by our swimwear business, and a $13.9 million increase in net sales in our other men’s sportswear business, which includes all of our businesses other than our Salant business and swimwear business.

Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2004 were $313.2 million, an increase of $124.3 million, or 65.8%, from $188.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2003. The increase was due mainly to an increase of approximately $83.8 million in net sales generated by the Salant business, which we acquired in the Salant acquisition in June 2003, an increase of $13.7$15.0 million in net sales generated by our swimwear business, and a ~~$26.8~~$29.0 million increase in net sales in our other men’s sportswear business.

Royalty income. Royalty income for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 was ~~$5.3~~$6.0 million, ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$0.4~~$1.5 million, or ~~7.0%~~33.3%, from ~~$5.7~~$4.5 million for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. Royalty income for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 and 2003 was ~~$10.6 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 12.4%, from $12.1 million for the six months ended July 31, 2003.~~$16.6 million. The ~~decrease~~increase in royalty income was principally due to the increase in revenues of the licenses of the Perry Ellis brand and our other brands, offset by the loss of ~~$0.4 million and~~ $1.5 million in royalty income we previously received from Salant for the three and six months ended July 31, 2004. We acquired Salant in June 2003 and prior to the acquisition, Salant was our largest licensee. Salant’s net sales are now recognized in our net sales.Salant.

Gross profit.Gross profit was ~~$37.9~~$52.5 million for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, as compared to ~~$27.9~~$51.9 million for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003, an increase of ~~35.8%~~1.2%. Gross profit was ~~$100.7~~$153.2 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, as compared to ~~$64.6~~$116.5 million for ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003, an increase of ~~55.9%~~31.5%. The increase in gross profit during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, as compared to the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003, was primarily ~~attributed~~attributable to the increase in net sales as a result of the Salant acquisition. Additionally, we experienced an increase in gross profit as a result of an increase in net sales in our other men’s sportswear ~~business. These increases were~~business, offset by ~~a $0.4 million and $1.5 million decrease~~lower gross profit margin sales in ~~royalty income for the three and six months ended July 31, 2004.~~our swimwear business.

As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit margins were ~~30.0%~~32.7% for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, as compared to ~~30.1%~~32.5% for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit margins were ~~31.1%~~31.6% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, as compared to ~~32.2%~~32.3% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. ~~These decreases were attributable to the previously described decrease in royalty income.~~ The wholesale gross profit margin percentage (net sales less cost of sales) ~~improved~~decreased slightly for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 to ~~26.9%~~30.1%, as compared to ~~25.5%~~30.5% for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. The wholesale gross profit margin percentage improved slightly for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, to ~~28.8%~~29.2%, as compared to ~~27.8%~~29.0% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. These improvements came as a result of the impact of net sales from the Salant business and were partially offset by lower gross profit margin sales in our swimwear and other men’s sportswear business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, were ~~$36.5~~$35.7 million, an increase of ~~$9.2~~$0.2 million, or ~~33.7%~~0.6%, from ~~$27.3~~$35.5 million for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were ~~28.9%~~22.2% for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, as compared to ~~29.4%~~22.3% for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 2004, were $117.1 million, an increase of $32.7 million, or 38.7%, from $84.4 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2003. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 24.2% for the nine months ended October 31, 2004, as compared to 23.4% for the nine months ended October 31, 2003. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs is primarily attributable to the additional ~~$7.0~~$26.0 million in expenses incurred by our Salant business and an additional ~~$2.2~~$6.7 million in expenses from our swimwear and other men’s sportswear businesses to support our organic growth, and an increase in advertising, marketing and design to support our existing brands, such as Perry Ellis, Cubavera, the Havanera Co., and Original Penguin for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~July 31, 2004.~~

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2004, were $81.4 million, an increase of $32.5 million, or 66%, from $48.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2003. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 25.1% for the six months ended July 31, 2004, as compared to 24.3% for the six months ended July 31, 2003. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs is primarily attributable to the additional $26.0 million in expenses incurred by our Salant business and an additional $6.5 million in expenses from our swimwear and other men’s sportswear businesses to support our organic growth, and an increase in advertising, marketing and design to support our existing brands, such as Perry Ellis, Cubavera, the Havanera Co., and Original Penguin for the six months ended JulyOctober 31, 2004.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 and 2003 was ~~$1.5 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 7%, from $1.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2003.~~$1.7 million. Depreciation and amortization for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, was ~~$3.0~~$4.7 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or ~~20%~~11.9%, from ~~$2.5~~$4.2 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. The increase is due to the increase in property and equipment purchased during fiscal 2004 and the first half of fiscal 2005.

Costs on early extinguishment of debt. Costs on early extinguishment of debt was $7.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 and the nine months ended October 31, 2003 compared to no amount for the comparable fiscal 2005 periods. On October 15, 2003, we redeemed the $100 million of 12¼% senior subordinated notes that were scheduled to mature on April 1, 2006 for approximately $107.3 million. This redemption resulted in costs on early extinguishment of debt due to the call premium and other associated redemption costs.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 was ~~$3.8~~$3.6 million, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$0.4~~$0.8 million, or ~~11.8%~~18.2%, from ~~$3.4~~$4.4 million for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. Interest expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, was ~~$7.2~~$10.8 million, a decrease of ~~$1.2~~$2.0 million, or ~~14.3%~~15.6%, from ~~$8.4~~$12.8 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. The ~~overall~~ decrease ~~in interest expense~~ is ~~primarily~~ attributable to ~~our~~the lack of borrowings on the senior credit facility during the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the overall reduced borrowings during fiscal 2005, as well as to the refinancing of our $100 million ~~12 ¼%~~12¼% senior subordinated notes, which were partially hedged with derivative hedging transactions, with the $150 million 8⁷/8% 7/8% senior subordinated notes issued in September 2003, which were fully hedged with derivative hedging transactions. Our net effective interest cost on the $150 million 8⁷/ 7/8 senior subordinated notes iswas less than the net effective interest cost on the $100 million 12¼% senior subordinated notes. The impact of the derivative hedging transactions is described in “Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks.” The reduction in interest expense described above was partially offset by the additional interest cost associated with higher overall outstanding debt balances incurred primarily as a result of the Salant acquisition completed in June 2003 and the financing of the working capital of our other businesses.

Income taxes. Income tax ~~benefit~~provision for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 was ~~$1.4~~$4.2 million, a ~~$0.1~~$3.2 million ~~decrease~~increase, as compared to ~~$1.5~~$1.0 million for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. For the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, our effective tax rate was ~~35.5%~~36.2% as compared to ~~36.6%~~35.6% for the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003.

Income tax provision for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004 was ~~$3.3~~$7.5 million, a ~~$1.5~~$4.6 million increase, as compared to ~~$1.8~~$2.9 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, our effective tax rate was ~~36.7%~~36.4% as compared to ~~37.9%~~37.0% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003.

Net ~~income (loss)~~income.. Net ~~loss~~income for the three months ended ~~July 31, 2004 and 2003, was $2.6 million. Net income for the six months ended July~~October 31, 2004, was ~~$5.6~~$7.2 million, an increase of ~~$2.6~~$5.5 million, or ~~86.7%~~323.5%, as compared to net income of ~~$3.0~~$1.7 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. Net income for the nine months ended October 31, 2004, was $12.7 million, an increase of $8.0 million, or 170.2%, as compared to net income of $4.7 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2003. The increase in net income was due to the changes described above.

We rely primarily upon cash flow from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facility and letter of credit facilities to finance our operations and expansion. We believe that as a result of the growth in our business, our working capital requirements will increase. As of ~~July~~October 31, 2004, our total working capital was ~~$180.7~~$185.0 million as compared to $192.9 million as of January 31, 2004. We believe that our cash flows from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facility and letter of credit facilities are sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the foreseeable future. In June 2004, we completed a public offering whereby the Company issued 950,000 shares of common stock. Proceeds from the offering were ~~$21.2~~$21.1 million, net of expenses, which amounts were used to repay amounts outstanding under our senior credit facility with the balance used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$56.0~~$32.0 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, as compared to cash ~~provided by~~used in operating activities of ~~$13.5~~$15.1 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. The increase of ~~$42.5~~$47.1 million in the level of cash provided by operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, as compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, is primarily attributable to an increase in net income, a decrease in, ~~accounts receivable,~~ inventory, ~~and~~ other current assets and prepaid income taxes ~~offset by a decrease~~and an increase in accounts payable and accrued ~~expenses.~~expenses, offset by a increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accrued interest payable.

Net cash used in investing activities was ~~$9.5~~$13.1 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, as compared to cash used in investing activities of ~~$34.5~~$37.1 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003. Cash used for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, was for the purchase of intangibles, property and equipment. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2003, the primary use of cash was for the acquisition of Salant.

Net cash used by financing activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004, was ~~$12.7~~$12.8 million, which primarily reflects the net proceeds from our stock offering of ~~$21.2~~$21.1 million as well as proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options of $0.8 million, offset by the net payments made on our senior credit facility of $34.7 million.

On June 19, 2003, we acquired Salant Corporation, which was our largest licensee. The aggregate merger costs paid by us was approximately $90.9 million, comprised of approximately $51.9 million in cash, approximately $35.6 million worth of our newly issued common stock and approximately $3.4 million in merger costs. The cash portion of the merger consideration was funded from Salant’s available cash reserves and through borrowings under our senior credit facility.

Salant licensed the Perry Ellis brand from us for men’s sportswear, dress shirts, dress bottoms and accessories and derived approximately $164.3 million, or 65% of its fiscal 2002 revenues, from the sale of Perry Ellis products. Salant was our largest licensee of Perry Ellis branded apparel. The remaining $87.7 million of Salant’s fiscal 2002 revenue was made up of sales of product under Salant’s owned brands such as Axis^® ~~and Tricots St. Raphael~~^®~~, sales under license agreements for use of the JNCO~~^® ~~and Ocean Pacific~~^® ~~brands, as well as several private label programs.~~

Our amended senior credit facility with Congress Financial Corporation (Florida), as agent for a syndicate of lenders, provides us with a revolving credit facility of up to an aggregate amount of $110.0 million. The senior credit facility expires in September ~~2005~~2007 and the indebtedness thereunder ranks ahead of the 8⁷/8% 7/8% senior subordinated notes. On February 23, 2004, we temporarily increased our availability under the senior credit facility to $130.0 million for seasonal working capital needs until April 29, 2004 when the availability was reduced back to $110 million.

The following is a description of the terms of the senior credit facility, as amended and does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the senior credit facility.

Certain Covenants. The senior credit facility contains certain covenants, which, among other things, requires us to maintain a minimum EBITDA if availability falls below a certain minimum. It may restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances, redeem or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, or sell assets. We are prohibited from paying cash dividends under these covenants. We believe we are currently in compliance with all of our covenants under the senior credit facility. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants as the lenders under the senior credit facility could declare all amounts outstanding thereunder, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. If we are unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against our assets. In addition, a violation could also constitute a cross-default under the indentures and mortgage, resulting in all of our debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy.

Borrowing Base. Borrowings under the senior credit facility are limited under its terms to a borrowing base calculation, which generally restricts the outstanding balances to the lesser of either (1) the sum of (a) 85.0% of eligible receivables plus (b) 85.0% of our eligible factored accounts receivables up to ~~$20.0~~$30.0 million plus (c) the lesser of (i) the inventory loan limit, or (ii) the lesser of (A) 65.0% of eligible finished goods inventory, or (B) 85.0% of the net recovery percentage (as defined in the senior credit facility) of eligible inventory, or (2) the loan limit; and in each case minus (x) 35.0% of the amount of outstanding letters of credit for eligible inventory, (y) the full amount of all other outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to the senior credit facility which are not fully secured by cash collateral, and (z) licensing reserves for which we are the licensee of certain branded products.

Interest. Interest on the principal balance under the senior credit facility accrues, at our option, at either (a) our bank prime lending rate with adjustments depending upon our quarterly average excess availability plus excess cash or leverage ratio or (b) ~~2.00%~~a minimum of 1.6% above the rate quoted by our bank as the average Eurodollar Rate (“Eurodollar”) for 1-, 2-, 3- and 6-month Eurodollar deposits with one-quarter percentage point adjustments depending upon our quarterly average excess availability plus excess cash and leverage ratio at the time of borrowing.

Security. As security for the indebtedness under the senior credit facility, we granted the lenders a second priority security interest in substantially all of our existing and future assets other than our trademark portfolio existing as of March 2002, including, without limitation, accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, general intangibles, equipment and capital stock or membership interests, as the case may be, of certain subsidiaries. Lenders under the senior credit facility have a second priority security interest in our trademark portfolio as of March 2002 and a second priority lien on the rest of our trademarks.

As of ~~July~~October 31, 2004, we maintained four U.S. dollar letter of credit facilities totaling $90 million and one letter of credit facility totaling ~~$2.8~~$3 million utilized by our Canadian joint venture. Each letter of credit is secured primarily by the consignment of merchandise in transit under that letter of credit and certain subordinated liens on our assets, including but not limited to the capital

stock or membership interests, as the case may be, of certain of our subsidiaries. As of ~~July~~October 31, 2004, there was approximately ~~$36.8~~$34 million available under existing letter of credit facilities.

In March of 2002 we issued $57.0 million 9½% senior secured notes due March 15, 2009. The proceeds of the offering were used to finance the Jantzen acquisition, to reduce the amount of outstanding debt under the previous senior credit facility and as additional working capital. The proceeds to us were $55.6 million, yielding an effective interest rate of 9.74% after deduction of discounts. We entered into certain derivative hedging transaction described in “Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks” in order to minimize debt service costs related to these senior secured notes.

The senior secured notes are secured by a first priority security interest granted in our existing portfolio of trademarks and licenses as of the closing date of the Jantzen acquisition, including the trademarks, licenses and all income, royalties and other payments acquired in the Jantzen acquisition. The senior secured notes are senior secured obligations of ours and rankpari passuin right of payment with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness. The senior secured notes are effectively senior to all of our unsecured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing the senior secured notes.

Certain Covenants. The indenture governing the senior secured notes contains certain covenants which restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances, redeem or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, or sell assets. We are prohibited from paying cash dividends under these covenants. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants because the indenture’s trustee could declare the outstanding notes, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. In addition, a violation could also constitute a cross-default under our senior credit facility, letter of credit facilities, mortgage and the indenture relating to our senior subordinated notes resulting in all of our debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. We believe we are currently in compliance with all of the covenants in this indenture.

We issued $150 million 8⁷/8% 7/8% senior subordinated notes on September 22, 2003, the proceeds of which were used to redeem the 12¹/412¼% senior subordinated notes and to pay down the outstanding balance of the senior credit facility at that time. The senior subordinated notes mature on September 15, 2013 and bear interest at the rate of 8⁷/8% 7/8% payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The proceeds to us were $146.8 million yielding an effective interest rate of 9.1%. We entered into certain derivative hedging transactions described in “Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks” in order to minimize debt service costs related to these senior subordinated notes.

Certain Covenants. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes contains certain covenants which restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances, redeem or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, or sell assets. We are prohibited from paying cash dividends under these covenants. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants because the indenture’s trustee could

declare the outstanding notes, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. In addition, a violation could also constitute a cross-default under the senior credit facility, the letter of credit facilities, mortgage and the indenture relating to our senior secured notes resulting in all of our debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. We believe we are currently in compliance with all of the covenants in this indenture.

In Fiscal 2003, we partially refinanced the acquisition of ~~the~~our Miami facility with an $11.6 million mortgage. The mortgage contains certain covenants. We believe we are currently in compliance with all of our covenants under the mortgage. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants because the lender under the mortgage could declare all amounts outstanding there under to be immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. In addition, a violation could constitute a cross-default under our senior credit facility, the letter of credit facilities and indentures relating to our senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes resulting in all our of debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy.

We are not a party to any “off-balance sheet arrangements” as defined by applicable SEC rules.

~~The Company does~~We do not believe that inflation or foreign currency fluctuations significantly affected ~~its~~our results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2004.

The market risk inherent in the Company’s financial statements represents the potential changes in the fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from changes in interest rates. The Company manages this exposure through regular operating and financing activities and, when

deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company’s policy allows the use of derivative financial instruments for identifiable market risk exposure, including interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not enter into derivative financial contracts for trading or other speculative purposes except for as discussed below.

In conjunction with the March 2002 offering of $57.0 million of 9¹/29½% senior secured notes due March 15, 2009, the Company entered into interest rate swap and option agreements (the “$57 million Swap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $57.0 million in order to minimize the debt servicing costs associated with the 9¹/29½% senior secured notes. The $57 million Swap Agreement is scheduled to terminate on March 15, 2009. Under the $57 million Swap Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a fixed rate of 9¹/29½% and is obligated to make semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a floating rate based on the three-month LIBOR rate plus 369 basis points for the period from March 22, 2002 through March 15, 2009. The $57 million Swap Agreement has optional call provisions with trigger dates of March 15, 2005, March 15, 2006 and March 15, 2007, which contain premium requirements in the event the call is exercised.

The $57 million Swap Agreement is a fair value hedge as it has been designated against the 9¹/29½% senior secured notes carrying a fixed rate of interest and converts such notes to variable rate debt. The interest rate swap contracts are reflected at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding offset to the designated item. The fair value of the $57 million Swap Agreement recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was ~~$3.2~~$1.2 million and $4.4 million as of ~~July~~October 31, 2004 and January 31, 2004, respectively.

At ~~July~~October 31, 2004, the Company was party to an interest rate floor agreement (the “$57 million Floor Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $57.0 million associated with the 9¹/29½% senior secured notes. The $57 million Floor Agreement is scheduled to terminate on March 15, 2005. Under the $57 million Floor Agreement, the Company must pay the difference between the three-month LIBOR rate and 1.50% for all rate resets in which the LIBOR is below 1.50%. When the LIBOR is equal to or greater than 1.50%, the Company makes no payments under the $57 million Floor Agreement.

The $57 million Floor Agreement did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133, resulting in ~~a $0.2 million~~$1.0 thousand and a $0.1 million ~~increase~~decrease of recorded interest expense on the consolidated statement of income for the ~~fiscal years~~three and nine months ended ~~January~~October 31, ~~2003 and~~ 2004, respectively. The fair value of the $57 million Floor Agreement recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was zero and ($0.3) million as of ~~July~~October 31, 2004 and January 31, 2004, respectively.

At ~~July~~October 31, 2004, the Company was party to an interest rate cap agreement (the “$57 million Cap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $57.0 million associated with the 9¹/2 ½% senior secured notes. The $57 million Cap Agreement is scheduled to terminate on March 15, 2009. The $57 million Cap Agreement caps the interest rate on the senior secured notes at 10%.

The $57 million Cap Agreement did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, resulting in a ~~$0.3~~$0.2 million and $0.4 million increase of recorded interest expense in the consolidated statement of income for the ~~fiscal year~~three and nine months ended ~~January~~October 31, 2004. The fair value of the $57 million Cap Agreement recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was ~~($0.5)~~$(0.7) million and ($0.3) million as of ~~July~~October 31, 2004 and January 31, 2004, respectively.

In conjunction with the Company’s September 2003 offering of $150.0 million of 8⁷/8% 7/8% senior subordinated notes due September 15, 2013, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements (the “$150 million Swap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million in order to minimize the debt servicing costs associated with the new senior subordinated notes. The $150 million Swap Agreement is scheduled to terminate on September 15, 2013. Under the $150 million Swap Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a fixed rate of 8⁷/8% 7/8% and is obligated to make semi-annual interest payments on September 15 and March 15 at a floating rate based on the ~~six-month~~nine-month LIBOR rate plus 394 basis points for the period from September 22, 2003 through September 15, 2013. The $150 million Swap Agreement has optional call provisions with trigger dates of September 15, 2008, September 15, 2009, September 15, 2010 and September 15, 2011, which contain premium requirements in the event the call is exercised.

The $150 million Swap Agreement is a fair value hedge as it has been designated against the 8⁷/8%8% senior subordinated notes carrying a fixed rate of interest and converts such notes to variable

rate debt. The interest rate swap contracts are reflected at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding offset to the designated item. The fair value of the $150 million Swap Agreement recorded on the consolidated balance sheet was ~~($3.2) million~~$3.1million as of ~~July~~October 31, 2004.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report was carried out by the Company under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed and are being operated in a manner that provides reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls that occurred during the quarter covered by this report, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

~~(a) The annual meeting of shareholders was held on Thursday, June 3, 2004.~~
