NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.GENERAL

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, 2007.

The information presented reflects all adjustments, 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.

 

2.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments -an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140," which simplifies accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and eliminates a restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event occurring after the beginning of an entity’sentity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have an impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, on February 1, 2007.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2004 through 2007 are open tax years. The Company’s state tax filings are subject to varying statutes of limitations. The Company’s unrecognized state tax benefits are related to state tax returns open from 2003 through 2007, depending on each state’s particular statute of limitation. As of February 1, 2007, the Company is undergoing a U.S. federal income tax examination for the 2004 tax year. Additionally, various state, local, and foreign income tax returns are also under examination by taxing authorities.

The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company has a $2.7 million liability recorded for unrecognized tax benefits as of February 1, 2007, which includes interest and penalties of $0.3 million. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expenses. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $2.7 million, which includes interest and penalties of $0.3 million. During the second quarter of 2008, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits increased by $0.6 million, which includes interest and penalties of $0.3 million.

It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the Company and the Internal Revenue Service will resolve some or all of the matters presently under U.S. federal income tax examination. The Company does not currently anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefitssuch a resolution will significantly increase or decrease tax expense within the next twelve months. There were no significant changes to any of these amounts during the first quarter of 2008.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,“The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which provides reporting entities an option to report selected financial assets, including investment securities designated as available for sale, and financial liabilities, including most insurance contracts, at fair value. SFAS No. 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The standard also requires additional information to aid financial statement users’users' understanding of a reporting entity’sentity's choice to use fair value on its earnings and also requires entities to display on the face of the balance sheet the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the reporting entity has chosen to measure at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’sentity's first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Because application of the standard is optional, any impacts are limited to those financial assets and liabilities to which SFAS No. 159 would be applied, which has yet to be determined.

 

3.STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On November 21, 2006, the Company declared a 3-for-2 stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend payable on December 29, 2006 to stockholders of record as of December 12, 2006. All references to prior years’ stock and earnings per share data in this report have been restated to give effect to the stock dividend.

 

4.INVENTORIES

As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were lower at 27.3% for the three months ended July 31, 2007, as compared to 29.2% for the three months ended July 31, 2006.

For the three months ended July 31, 2007, our effective tax rate was 34.7% as compared to 36.2% for the three months ended July 31, 2006. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective tax rate was due to a lower tax rate experienced by our international operations, offset by a slight increase in our unrecognized tax benefits.

Our income tax provision for the six months ended July 31, 2007, was $5.6 million, a $3.7 million increase as compared to $1.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2007.six months ended July 31, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We rely primarily upon cash flow from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facility and letter of credit facilities to finance our operations, acquisitions and capital expenditures. We believe that as a result of the growth in our business,,our working capital requirements will increase.increase in the last half of the fiscal year, particularly during our fourth quarter as a result of planned increases in sales. As of April 30,July 31, 2007, our total working capital was $272.5$205.8 million as compared to $229.7 million as of January 31, 2007. We believe that our cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our senior credit facility and letter of credit facilities are sufficient to meet our working capital needs. We also believe that our real estate assets which have a net book value of $29 million at April 30,July 31, 2007, have a substantially higher market value of approximately $50 million. These real estate assets provide us with additional capital resources. Additional borrowings against these real estate assets, however would be subject to certain loan to value criteria established by lending institutions. Currently we have mortgage loans on these properties totaling $27.0$26.8 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.9$75.5 million infor the first quarter of fiscal 2008six months ended July 31, 2007, as compared to cash used inprovided by operating activities of $12.5$52.5 million infor the first quartersix months ended July 31, 2006.

in for the first quarter of 2008six months ended July 31, 2007, as compared to the first quarter of 2007six months ended July 31, 2006, is primarily attributable to an increasea decrease in accounts receivable and inventories,of $57.6 million due to stronger collection efforts, a decrease in inventory of $3.2 million, the increase of $18.2 million in unearned revenues; offset by the reduction of our accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued interest payable,other liabilities in the amount of $16.5 million. For the six months ended July 31, 2006, accounts receivable decreased by $46.2 million and inventory decreased by $10.1 million; this increase in operating cash flow was offset by the increasereduction of $18.7 millionaccounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in unearned revenues.the amount of $13.4 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.8$9.0 million for the six months ended July 31, 2007, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $5.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2006. The net cash used during the first quarterhalf of fiscalFiscal 2008 whichprimarily reflects additions tothe purchase of property and equipment in the amount of $8.6 million and marketable securities in the amount of $0.7 million, offset by the proceeds from the sale of marketable securities in the amount of $0.3 million, as compared to $1.9 millionnet cash used in the first quarteramount of fiscal 2007.$5.8 million during the same period in Fiscal 2007 for the purchase of intangibles, property and equipment. We anticipate capital expenditures during fiscal 2008 of $15$16 million to $16$17 million during fiscal 2008.in technology and systems, retail stores, and other expenditures.

Net cash provided byused in financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2007, was $60.9 million, as compared to net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2006 of $49.4 million. The net cash used during the first quarterhalf of fiscalFiscal 2008 was $7.4 million, which primarily reflects the net proceeds frompayments on our senior credit facility of $7.0 million, as compared to$61.2 million. The use of cash was offset by proceeds received from the exercise of stock options of $0.5 million. The net proceeds fromcash used during the first half of Fiscal 2007 primarily reflects the net payments on our senior credit facility of $68.5$6.4 million, during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, which were used primarily for theas well as payments of $58.4 million and $0.6 million onto extinguish our senior secured notes and $0.6 million in connection with the termination of the swap agreements, respectively.agreements. The use of cash was offset by our Tampa facility real estate mortgage loan proceeds of $14.8 million, as well as proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.2 million.

Certain Covenants. The senior credit facility contains certain covenants, which, among other things, require 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 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 indenture 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 $50.0 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) 1.05% above the rate quoted by our bank as the average monthly Eurodollar Rate for 1-month Eurodollar deposits with 20 to 25 basis 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 first priority security interest in substantially all of our existing and future assets other than our trademark portfolio, 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.

Letter of Credit Facilities

As of April 30,July 31, 2007, we maintained six U.S. dollar letter of credit facilities totaling $160.0 million, one letter of credit facility totaling $3.4$3.5 million utilized by our Canadian joint venture, and one letter of credit facility totaling $0.7$0.8 million utilized by our United Kingdom subsidiary. 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. As of April 30,July 31, 2007, there was $123.9$128.8 million available under existing letter of credit facilities.

$57 Million Senior Secured Notes Payable

In March 2002, we issued $57.0 million 9 11/2/2% senior secured notes due March 15, 2009. On March 15, 2006, we exercised the call provision of the $57.0 million 9 11/2/2% senior secured notes. The call provision permitted the notes to be redeemed at a premium of 102.375%, and in connection with this transaction, we incurred costs on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, including call premium costs, write-off of bond issue costs and costs associated with the termination of derivatives related to the senior secured notes.

$150 Million Senior Subordinated Notes Payable

In fiscal 2004, we issued $150 million 8 7/87/8%% senior subordinated notes due September 15, 2013. The proceeds of this offering were used to redeem previously issued $100 million 12 11/4 /4% senior subordinated notes and to pay down the outstanding balance of the senior credit facility at that time. The proceeds to us were $146.8 million yielding an effective interest rate of 9.1%.

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 currently in compliance with all of the covenants in this indenture. 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, and the real estate mortgage loan resulting in all of our debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy.

Real Estate Mortgage Loans

In fiscal 2003, we acquired our main administrative office, warehouse and distribution facility in Miami and partially financed the acquisition of the facility with an $11.6 million mortgage loan. The real estate mortgage loan contains certain covenants. We are currently in compliance with all of our covenants under thethis real estate mortgage loan. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants because the lender under the real estate mortgage could declare all amounts outstanding thereunder 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 indenture relating to our senior subordinated notes resulting in all our of debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. TheThis mortgage loan matures on August 1, 2009. Interest is fixed at 7.123%

In October 2005, we acquired three administrative office units in a building in Beijing, China. The aggregate purchase price was $2.3 million, including closing costs. These purchases were partially financed with three variable interest mortgage loans totaling $1.2 million dollars in the aggregate. TheThese mortgage loans mature on October 12, 2015. Interest rate is at Prime.

In June 2006, we entered into a mortgage loan for $15 million secured by our Tampa facility. The loan is due on June 7, 2016. Principal and interest of $297,000 are due quarterly based on a 20 year amortization with the outstanding principal due at maturity. Interest is set at 6.25% for the first five years, at which point it will be reset based on the terms and conditions of the promissory note.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Effects of Inflation and Foreign Currency Fluctuations

We do not believe that inflation or foreign currency fluctuations significantly affected our results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30,July 31, 2007.

 

Item 3:Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

The market risk inherent in our financial statements represents the potential changes in the fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from changes in interest rates. We manage this exposure through regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Our policy allows the use of derivative financial instruments for identifiable market risk exposure, including interest rate. Our significant derivative financial contracts are discussed below.

Derivatives on $57 Million Senior Secured Notes Payable

We had an interest rate swap and option (the “$57 million Swap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $57 million in order to manage the overall borrowing costs associated with our 9 11/2/2% senior secured notes. In March 2006, we terminated the $57 million Swap Agreement. The $57 million Swap Agreement was a fair value hedge as it was designated against the 9 11/2/2% senior secured notes carrying a fixed rate of interest and converted such notes to variable rate debt. The $57 million Swap Agreement was reflected at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding offset to the designated item.

We also had an interest rate cap agreement (the “$57 million Cap Agreement”) for an aggregate notional amount of $57 million associated with the 9 11/2/2% senior secured notes. In March 2006, we terminated the $57 million Cap Agreement. The $57 million Cap Agreement capped 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 and $30,000 decrease of recorded interest expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of incomeoperations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2006.July 31, 2006, respectively.

Other

Our current exposure to foreign exchange risk is not significant and accordingly, we have not entered into any transactions to hedge against those risks.

Item 4:Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that both our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls and procedures were effective as of April 30,July 31, 2007 in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and that information required to be disclosed by us in these periodic filings was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that our internal controls were effective as of April 30,July 31, 2007 to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements were fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30,July 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
