2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. | |||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||||||
Wholesale revenues are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting when title transfers to the customer, which is typically at the shipping point. We record estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs, including co-op advertising, other advertising programs or allowances, based upon a percentage of sales. We also allow for returns based upon pre-approval or in the case of damaged goods. Such returns are estimated based on historical experience and an allowance is provided at the time of sale. | |||||||||||
Retail store revenue is recognized net of estimated returns at the time of sale to consumers. E-commerce sales of products ordered through our retail internet sites known as www.joesjeans.com and www.hudsonjeans.com are recognized upon estimated delivery and receipt of the shipment by the customers. E-commerce revenue is also reduced by an estimate of returns. Retail store revenue and E-commerce revenue exclude sales taxes. Revenue from licensing arrangements are recognized when earned in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements, generally based upon the higher of (a) contractually guaranteed minimum royalty levels and (b) estimates of sales and royalty data received from our licensees. Payments received in consideration of the grant of a license or advanced royalty payments are recognized ratably as revenue over the term of the license agreement and are reflected under the caption of "Deferred Licensing Revenue" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The revenue recognized ratably over the term of the license agreement will not exceed royalty payments received. The unrecognized portion of the upfront payments are included in deferred royalties and accrued expenses depending on the long or short term nature of the payments to be recognized. There were no advanced payments under our licensing agreements during our fiscal year ended November 30, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||
Accounts Receivable, Due To Factor and Allowance for Customer Credits and Doubtful Allowances | |||||||||||
We evaluate our ability to collect on accounts receivable and charge-backs (disputes from the customer) based upon a combination of factors. Whether a receivable is past due is based on how recently payments have been received and in certain circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filings, substantial downgrading of credit sources). A specific reserve for bad debts is taken against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. Amounts are charged off against the reserve once it is established that amounts are not likely to be collected. We recognize reserves for charge-backs based on our historical collection experience. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4—Accounts Receivable, Inventory Advances and Due to Factor" for further discussion. | |||||||||||
Inventory | |||||||||||
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventory consists of finished goods, work-in-process and raw materials. We continually evaluate our inventories by assessing slow moving current product. Market value of non-current inventory is estimated based on historical sales trends for this category of inventory for individual product lines, the impact of market trends, an evaluation of economic conditions and the value of current orders relating to future sales of this type of inventory. Inventory reserves establish a new cost basis for inventory. Such reserves are not reversed until the related inventory is sold or otherwise disposed. Costs capitalized in inventory include the purchase price of raw materials, contract labor and finished goods, plus in-bound transportation costs and import fees and duties. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we wrote down certain finished goods inventory by $1,620,000, representing the lower of cost or market adjustment. | |||||||||||
Deferred Financing Costs | |||||||||||
Deferred financing costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related agreements (five years) and recorded as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Amortization of deferred financing costs included in interest expense was approximately $70,000 for the year ended November 30, 2013. We did not record any amortization of deferred financing cost for the years ended November 30, 2012 and 2011. | |||||||||||
Costs of Goods Sold | |||||||||||
Costs of goods sold include product, freight in, freight out, inventory reserves, inventory markdowns and other various charges. | |||||||||||
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | |||||||||||
Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits, travel and entertainment, professional fees, advertising, marketing, sample expenses, stock based compensation expenses, facilities, fulfillment and distribution costs and payments made in connection with the earn-out consideration. | |||||||||||
Earnings Per Share | |||||||||||
Basic earnings per share, or EPS, is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period except for periods of net loss for which no common share equivalents are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalent shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes are calculated using the if-converted method. | |||||||||||
Deferred Rent | |||||||||||
When a lease includes lease incentives (such as a rent holiday) or requires fixed escalations of the minimum lease payments, rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and the difference between the average rental amount charged to expense and amounts payable under the lease is included in deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||||
Advertising Costs | |||||||||||
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred, except in the case of seasonal media campaigns. The production and other related costs of seasonal media campaigns are capitalized and amortized over the expected period of future benefits, which is typically six months or less. | |||||||||||
Advertising and tradeshow expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $4,306,000, $2,953,000 and $4,025,000 for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||||
Financial Instruments | |||||||||||
The fair values of our financial instruments (which consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and due from factor) do not differ materially from their recorded amounts because of the relatively short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. The fair value of our long term debt and convertible notes is based on the amount of future cash flows associated with the instrument discounted using our incremental borrowing rate. At November 30, 2013, the carrying value of the long term debt was not materially different from fair value. | |||||||||||
The fair value of our convertible notes was $28,830,000 at November 30, 2013. The fair value of the embedded derivative in our convertible notes that was bifurcated and separately valued was $5,700,000 at November 30, 2013. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8—Debt" for further information regarding our derivative liabilities and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9—Fair Value Disclosures" regarding our fair value disclosures. | |||||||||||
We do not hold or have any obligations under financial instruments that possess off-balance sheet credit or market risk. | |||||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles | |||||||||||
We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, identifiable intangibles and goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important that could trigger an impairment review other than on an annual basis include the following: | |||||||||||
• | |||||||||||
A significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; | |||||||||||
• | |||||||||||
A significant change in the manner of the use of the acquired asset or the strategy for the overall business; or | |||||||||||
• | |||||||||||
A significant negative industry or economic trend. | |||||||||||
When we determine that the carrying value of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the aforementioned factors and the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, impairment is measured based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management. These cash flows are calculated by netting future estimated sales against associated merchandise costs and other related expenses such as payroll, occupancy and marketing. | |||||||||||
The impairment loss calculations require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows and the discount rates that reflect the risk inherent in future cash flows. Future expected cash flows for store assets are based on management's estimates of future cash flows over the remaining lease period or expected life, if shorter. We consider historical trends, expected future business trends and other factors when estimating each store's future cash flow. We also consider factors such as: the local environment for each store location, including mall traffic and competition; our ability to successfully implement strategic initiatives; and the ability to control variable costs such as cost of sales and payroll, and in some cases, renegotiate lease costs. The estimated cash flows used for this nonrecurring fair value measurement are considered a Level 3 input as defined in Note 9. If actual results are not consistent with the assumptions and judgments used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, there may be additional exposure to future impairment losses that could be material to our results of operations. | |||||||||||
During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded store impairment charges of $1,144,000 related to two of our full price retail stores. Based on the operating performance of these stores, we believed that we could not recover the carrying value of property and equipment located at these stores. There was no impairment recorded during fiscal 2012 or fiscal 2013. | |||||||||||
Business acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method by assigning the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill. Purchased intangible assets, such as customer relationships and designs, with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill and other intangible assets, such as trademarks, with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment. | |||||||||||
In fiscal 2007, we acquired through merger JD Holdings, which included all of the goodwill and intangible assets goodwill related to the Joe's®, Joe's Jeans™ and JD® logo and marks. To date, we have not had to recognize any impairment related to the goodwill or intangible assets of our Joe's® brand. We have assigned an indefinite life to these intangible assets and therefore, no amortization expenses are expected to be recognized. However, we test the assets for impairment annually in accordance with our critical accounting policies. | |||||||||||
On September 30, 2013, we acquired Hudson, which included all of the goodwill and intangible assets related to the Hudson® logos and marks. To date, we have not recognized any impairment related to the goodwill or intangible assets of our Hudson® brand. We have assigned an indefinite life to the trademark, and therefore, no amortization expenses are expected to be recognized. However, we will test the assets for impairment annually in accordance with our critical accounting policies. | |||||||||||
Goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets at least annually using a two-step process. The first step is to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare this value to its carrying value. The determination of the fair value of the reporting unit as a discounted cash flow analysis requires unobservable inputs (Level 3) within the fair value hierarchy as defined in Note 9. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is required and no impairment loss would be recognized. The second step is performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets. The implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets must be determined and compared to the carrying value of the goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets. | |||||||||||
Our annual impairment testing date is September 30 of each year. For fiscal 2013 and 2012, we determined that there was no impairment of our goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets. | |||||||||||
Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||
We consider all highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible into known amounts of cash and mature within 90 days from their date of purchase to be cash equivalents. | |||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | |||||||||||
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and amounts due from factor. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. The policy is designed to limit exposure to any one institution. We perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit rating of those financial institutions that are considered in our investment strategy. | |||||||||||
We do not require collateral for trade accounts receivable. However, we sell a portion of our accounts receivable to CIT Commercial Services, Inc., or CIT, on a non-recourse basis. In that instance, we are no longer at risk if the customer fails to pay. However, for accounts receivable that are not sold to CIT or sold on a recourse basis, we continue to be at risk if these customers fail to pay. We provide an allowance for estimated losses to be incurred in the collection of accounts receivable based upon the aging of outstanding balances and other account monitoring analysis. The net carrying value approximates the fair value for these assets. Such losses have historically been within management's expectations. Uncollectible accounts are written off once collection efforts are deemed by management to have been exhausted. | |||||||||||
For fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, sales to customers or customer groups representing greater than 10 percent of net sales are as follows: | |||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | |||||||||
Nordstrom, Inc. | 30.4 | % | 22.3 | % | 25.5 | % | |||||
Macy's Inc. | 10.8 | % | 14.8 | % | * | ||||||
* | |||||||||||
Less than 10%. | |||||||||||
Our 10 largest customers and customer groups accounted for approximately 64 percent of our net sales during fiscal 2013. In addition, our international sales were $6,031,000, $4,986,000 and $4,568,000 in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||||
We measure the cost of all employee stock-based compensation awards based on the grant date fair value of those awards and record that cost as compensation expense over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for the award (generally over the vesting period of the award). An entity may elect either an accelerated recognition method or a straight-line recognition method for awards subject to graded vesting based on a service condition, regardless of how the fair value of the award is measured. For all stock based compensation awards that contain graded vesting based on service conditions, we have elected to apply a straight-line recognition method to account for these awards. | |||||||||||
Property and Equipment | |||||||||||
Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or fair value in the case of impaired assets. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the estimated service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is included in the determination of net income. | |||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||
We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. | |||||||||||
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The likelihood of a material change in our expected realization of these assets depends on our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. Our ability to generate enough taxable income to utilize our deferred tax assets depends on many factors, among which is our ability to deduct tax loss carry-forwards against future taxable income, the effectiveness of tax planning strategies and reversing deferred tax liabilities. | |||||||||||
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based upon the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based upon the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties that would be assessed in relation to the settlement value of unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. | |||||||||||
Other Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards | |||||||||||
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued authoritative guidance that revised its requirements related to the presentation of comprehensive income, which was effective for fiscal periods beginning after January 1, 2012, with early adoption allowed. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income, or OCI, as part of the consolidated statement of equity. It requires presentation of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. We presently do not have any components of comprehensive income and as such comprehensive income (loss) is the same as our net (loss) income. | |||||||||||
In February 2013, the FASB issued a standard that revised the disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and requires entities to present information about significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component either (1) on the face of the statement where net income is presented or (2) as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on our financial statements. | |||||||||||
In March 2013, the FASB issued a standard which requires the release of our cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on our financial statements. | |||||||||||
In July 2013, the FASB issued a standard clarify the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists as of the reporting date. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on our financial statements. | |||||||||||
In July 2013, the FASB issued a standard permitting the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to the United States Treasury rate and London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR. In addition, the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges is removed. We are required to adopt these provisions prospectively for qualifying new or re-designated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on our financial statements. | |||||||||||

3. Acquisition of Hudson | |||||||||||||
On July 15, 2013, we announced the execution of a stock purchase agreement with Hudson, Fireman Capital CPF Hudson Co-Invest LP, or Fireman, Peter Kim, Paul Cardenas, Tony Chu, and certain option holders of Hudson named therein, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests in Hudson. On September 30, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Hudson and purchased all of the outstanding equity interests for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $94,102,000, consisting of $65,416,000 in cash, approximately $27,451,000 in convertible notes, net of discount, and $1,235,000 in aggregate principal amount of promissory notes bearing no interest, payable on April 1, 2014, to certain former option holders of Hudson. | |||||||||||||
In addition, in connection with the acquisition, we, along with all of our subsidiaries entered into: (i) a revolving credit agreement with CIT as administrative agent, collateral agent, documentation agent and syndication agent, CIT Finance LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and the lenders party thereto, and (ii) a term loan credit agreement with Garrison Loan Agency Services LLC, as administrative agent, collateral agent, lead arranger, documentation agent and syndication agent, and the lenders party thereto, or Garrison. In addition, we entered into an amended and restated factoring agreement with CIT that amends and restates our existing factoring agreement. See "Note 8—Debt" for a description of our debt arrangements. | |||||||||||||
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we have, with the assistance from independent valuation specialists, allocated the purchase price to the assets and liabilities of Hudson in our financial statements as of the completion of the acquisition at their respective fair values as of September 30, 2013. The valuations of intangible assets, income taxes and certain other items are preliminary. Management expects to complete the purchase price allocations during fiscal 2014. We are in the process of completing the amounts assigned to assets and liabilities, acquired intangible assets and the related impact on goodwill for the acquisition. More specifically, open items include finalizing the amounts associated with working capital and tax refunds due to the sellers. | |||||||||||||
The assets acquired in this acquisition consisted of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The differences between the fair value of the consideration paid and the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill. The significant factors that resulted in recognition of goodwill were: (a) the purchase price was based upon cash flow and return on capital projections assuming integrations with our company; and (b) the calculation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired that qualified for recognition. We have determined that the useful life of the acquired trade name asset is indefinite, and therefore, no amortization expense will initially need to be recognized. The useful life of the acquired customer relationships and design assets are finite and will be amortized over their useful lives. However, we will test the assets for impairment annually and/or if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Additionally, a deferred tax liability has been established in the allocation of the purchase price with respect to the identified indefinite long lived intangible assets acquired. | |||||||||||||
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total consideration as shown in the table below (in thousands) is allocated to the assets based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the completion of the acquisition. The consideration is allocated as follows: | |||||||||||||

Of the total amount of receivables sold by us as of November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012, we hold the risk of payment of $3,220,000 and $24,000, respectively, in the event of non-payment by the customers. | ||||||||
Prior to our acquisition of Hudson on September 30, 2013, our Joe's Jeans Subsidiary was a party to an accounts receivable factoring agreement and an inventory security agreement with CIT. The agreements prior to September 30, 2013 were structured so that we had the ability to obtain cash by selling to CIT certain of our accounts receivable and advances for up to 50 percent of the value of certain eligible inventory. The accounts receivables were sold for up to 85 percent of the face amount on either a recourse or non-recourse basis depending on the creditworthiness of the customer. CIT permitted us to sell our accounts receivables at the maximum level of 85 percent and allowed advances of up to $6,000,000 for eligible inventory. CIT had the ability, in its discretion at any time or from time to time, to adjust or revise any limits on the amount of loans or advances made to us pursuant to both of these agreements and to impose surcharges on our rates for certain of our customers. In addition, cross guarantees were executed by and among us and all of our parent and subsidiaries to guarantee each entity's obligations. In connection with the agreements prior to September 30, 2013, certain assets were pledged to CIT, including our entire inventory, merchandise and/or goods, including raw materials through finished goods and receivables. However, our trademarks were not encumbered under those agreements. | ||||||||
This accounts receivable agreement could be terminated by CIT upon 60 days' written notice or immediately upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the agreement. In June 2013, we entered into an amendment to the accounts receivable agreement that permitted us to terminate the accounts receivable agreement upon 30 days' written notice prior to September 30, 2013, or thereafter upon 60 days' written notice provided that the minimum factoring fees have been paid for the respective period or if CIT fails to fund us for five consecutive days. The inventory agreement could be terminated once all obligations were paid under both agreements or if an event of default occurred as defined in the agreement. On September 30, 2013, we entered into an amended and restated factoring agreement with CIT that amended and restated our existing factoring agreement and replaced all prior agreements relating to factoring and inventory security. | ||||||||
Under the agreements that terminated on September 30, 2013, we paid to CIT a factoring rate of 0.55 percent for accounts for which CIT had the credit risk, subject to discretionary surcharges, up to $40,000,000 of invoices factored, 0.50 percent over $40,000,000 of invoices factored and 0.35 percent for accounts for which we had the credit risk. The interest rate associated with borrowings under the inventory lines and factoring facility was 0.25 percent plus the Chase prime rate, which was 3.25 percent prior to September 30, 2013. In the event we needed additional funds, we also had a letter of credit facility with CIT to allow us to open letters of credit for a fee of 0.25 percent of the letter of credit face value with international and domestic suppliers, subject to our overall availability. See "Note 8—Debt" for a further discussion of our debt arrangements and our amended and restated factoring agreement. | ||||||||

Convertible Notes | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The convertible notes were issued with different interest rates and conversion features for Hudson's management stockholders and Fireman, respectively. Interest on the convertible notes is paid in a combination of cash and additional paid in kind notes, or PIK notes. Convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $22,885,000 (face amount) were issued to Hudson's management stockholders, are structurally and contractually subordinated to our senior debt and mature on March 31, 2019. All of the notes are expressly junior and subordinated in right of payment to all amounts due and owing upon any indebtedness outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility (as discussed below). | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The management notes accrue interest quarterly on the outstanding principal amount (i) from September 30, 2013 until the earlier to occur of the date of conversion of the notes or November 30, 2014 at a rate of 10 percent per annum, which is payable 7.68 percent in cash and 2.32 percent in PIK Notes, (ii) from December 1, 2014 until the earlier to occur of the date of conversion of the notes or September 30, 2016 at a rate of 10 percent per annum payable in cash, and (iii) from October 1, 2016 until the earlier to occur of the date of conversion of the notes or the date such principal amount is paid in full at a rate of 10.928 percent per annum payable in cash. Payment of interest at the cash pay rate under clause (ii) or (iii), as applicable, for any payment date will be subject to satisfaction of certain financial conditions for us. The management notes become convertible by each of the holders beginning on September 30, 2015 until maturity on March 31, 2019 into shares of our common stock, cash, or a combination of cash and common stock, at our election. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The approximately $9,560,000 (face amount) in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes issued to Fireman are structurally and contractually subordinated to our senior debt and mature on March 31, 2019. The Fireman note accrues interest quarterly on the outstanding principal amount (i) from September 30, 2013 until the earlier to occur of the date of conversion of the notes or November 30, 2014 at a rate of 6.5 percent per annum, which is payable 3 percent in cash and 3.5 percent in PIK Notes, (ii) from December 1, 2014 until the earlier to occur of the date of conversion of the notes or September 30, 2016 at a rate of 6.5 percent per annum payable in cash, and (iii) from October 1, 2016 until the earlier to occur of the date of conversion of the notes or the date such principal amount is paid in full at a rate of 7 percent per annum payable in cash. Payment of interest at the cash pay rate under clause (ii) or (iii), as applicable, for any payment date will be subject to satisfaction of certain financial conditions for us. The Fireman note becomes convertible by the holder on October 14, 2014 until maturity on March 31, 2019 into shares of common stock, cash, or a combination of cash and common stock, at our election. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Each of the notes are convertible, in whole but not in part, at a conversion price of $1.78 per share, subject to certain adjustments, into approximately 18,200,000 shares of our common stock, subject to receipt of stockholder approval to comply with NASDAQ rules and an increase in the number of authorized shares, if necessary. The Fireman note may be converted at its sole election and the management notes may be converted at either a majority of the holders' election or individually, depending on the holder. Prior to receipt of such stockholder approval, the conversion rights will be limited to approximately 13,600,000 shares of common stock. If the we elect to pay cash with respect to a conversion of the notes, the amount of cash to be paid per share will be equal to (a) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion multiplied by (b) the average of the closing prices for the common stock over the 20 trading day period immediately preceding the notice of conversion. We will have the right to prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of the notes at any time by paying 103 percent of the principal amount of the portion of any management note subject to prepayment or 100 percent of the principal amount of the portion of the Fireman note subject to prepayment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The holders of the convertible notes also have demand and piggyback registration rights associated with their notes in a separate agreement pursuant to which they have the right to require us to prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-1 or S-3 or any similar form or successor to such forms under the Securities Act, or any other appropriate form under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, for the resale of all or part of their shares that may be issued under the convertible notes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Embedded Conversion Derivative | |||||||||||||||||||||||
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 470 (ASC 470), Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) requires the issuer of convertible debt that may be settled in shares or cash upon conversion at their option, such as our convertible notes, to account for their liability and equity components separately by bifurcating the embedded conversion derivative, or the derivative, from the host debt instrument. Although ASC 470 has no impact on our actual past or future cash flows, it requires us to record non-cash interest expense as the debt discount is amortized. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
As a result of the issuance of convertible notes in September 2013, the total potential shares of common stock that could be issued exceeded the amount of shares we were eligible to issue under NASDAQ rules as of that date. Therefore, we are required to value the derivative and recognize the fair value as a long-term liability. The fair value of this derivative at the time of issuance of the convertible notes was $5,496,000 and was recorded as the original debt discount for the purposes of accounting for the debt component of the convertible notes. This debt discount on the Fireman and management notes are being amortized as interest expense using an effective interest rate of 8.32 percent and 4.31 percent, respectively, over the remaining 5.5 year term of the convertible notes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
If we obtain stockholder approval to approve the issuance of the common stock underlying the convertible notes to comply with NASDAQ rules, the derivative liability will be reassessed to determine if the derivative will continue to be classified as a liability or reclassified to stockholders' equity. We determined the fair value of the derivative using a binomial lattice model. The key assumptions for determining the fair value at November 30, 2013 included the remaining time to maturity of five years and four months, volatility of 65 percent, and the risk-free interest rate of 1.37 percent. The change in the fair value of the embedded conversion derivative from September 30, 2013 to November 30, 2013 of $204,000 has been recorded as other expense. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The following table (in thousands) is a summary of the recorded value of the convertible note as of November 30, 2013. The value of the convertible note reflects the present value of the contractual cash flows from the convertible notes and resulted in an original issue discount of $10,491,000 including the additional original discount attributed to the embedded conversion derivative of $5,496,000, that were recorded on September 30, 2013, the issuance date. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Promissory Notes | |||||||||||||||||||||||
In connection with the acquisition, we issued approximately $1,235,000 in aggregate principal amount of promissory notes bearing no interest, payable on April 1, 2014, to certain option holders of Hudson. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Revolving Credit Agreement | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The revolving credit agreement with CIT provides us with a revolving credit facility up to $50,000,000 comprised of a revolving A-1 commitment of up to $1,000,000 and a revolving A commitment of up to $50,000,000 minus the revolving A-1 commitment. Our actual maximum credit availability under the revolving facility varies from time to time and is determined by calculating a borrowing base, which is based on the value of the eligible accounts and eligible inventory minus reserves imposed by CIT. The revolving facility also provides for swingline loans, up to $5,000,000 sublimit, and letters of credit, up to $1,000,000 sublimit. Proceeds from advances under the revolving facility may be used for working capital needs and general corporate purposes and were initially used to pay a portion of the consideration for the acquisition and fees and expenses associated with the acquisition. As of November 30, 2013, $17,673,000 was outstanding under our revolving credit facility and cash availability of approximately $25,715,000. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
All unpaid loans under the revolving facility mature on September 30, 2018. We have the right at any time and from time to time to terminate the commitments under the revolving facility by paying in full or prepay any borrowings, in whole or in part, without terminating or reducing the commitment. If we terminate the revolving facility in full prior to the second anniversary of the date, we are required to pay a prepayment fee of 1 percent or 0.5 percent of the commitments terminated depending on when we make the prepayment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The revolving facility is guaranteed by us and all of our subsidiaries, and secured by liens on substantially all assets owned by us, including a first-priority lien on certain property, including principally trade accounts, inventory, certain related assets and proceeds of the foregoing, subject to permitted liens and exceptions, and a second-priority lien on all other assets, including intellectual property owned by us, which secures the term loan facility on a first-priority basis. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Advances under the revolving facility are in the form of either base rate loans or LIBOR rate loans. The interest rate for base rate loans under the revolving A commitment fluctuates and is equal to (x) the Alternate Base Rate, which is the greatest of (a) the JPMorgan Chase Bank prime rate; (b) the Federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent; and (c) the 90-Day LIBO Rate, which is the rate per annum equal to the 90 day LIBOR published in the New York City edition of the Wall Street Journal under "Money Rates," plus 1 percent, in each case, plus (y) 1.5 percent. The interest rate for LIBOR rate loans under the revolving A commitment is equal to the 90-Day LIBO Rate per annum plus 2.5 percent. The interest rate for base rate loans and LIBOR rate loans under the revolving A-1 commitment is equal to (i) Alternate Base Rate plus 2.5 percent and (ii) the 90-Day LIBO Rate plus 3.5 percent, respectively. Interest on the Revolving Facility is payable on the first day of each calendar month and the maturity date. Among other fees, we pay a commitment fee of 0.25 percent per annum (due quarterly) on the average daily amount of the unused revolving commitment under the revolving facility. We also pay fees with respect to any letters of credit. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The revolving facility contains usual and customary negative covenants for transactions of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability and our subsidiaries' ability, to create or incur indebtedness; create liens; consolidate, merge, liquidate or dissolve; sell, lease or otherwise transfer any of its assets; substantially change the nature of its business; make investments or acquisitions; pay dividends; enter into transactions with affiliates; amend material documents, prepay certain indebtedness and make capital expenditures. The negative covenants are subject to certain exceptions as specified in the revolving credit agreement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition, the revolving credit agreement requires us to (a) maintain (i) at all times availability under the revolving facility of not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) at all times the sum of availability under the revolving facility plus up to $2,500,000 of unrestricted cash of not less than $7,500,000; and (b) maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio calculated for each four fiscal quarter period at levels set forth in the revolving facility. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
As of November 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the covenants under the revolving credit agreement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Term Loan Credit Agreement | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The term loan credit agreement entered into with Garrison provided for term loans of up to $60,000,000 and was fully funded to us as of September 30, 2013. The term loan proceeds were used to finance a portion of the consideration for the acquisition, to pay fees and expenses associated with the acquisition and for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The term loan matures on September 30, 2018. We are allowed to prepay the term loan at any time, in whole or in part, subject to the payment of a prepayment fee if we prepay prior to September 30, 2016. The prepayment fee is 3 percent if we prepay prior to September 30, 2014 and reduces by 1 percent per year until September 30, 2016. In addition, we are required to make prepayments out of extraordinary receipts, certain percentage of the excess cash flow and certain net proceeds of certain asset sales or equity issuances, in each case (other than a prepayment in connection with excess cash flow), subject to the payment of the prepayment fee as set forth above. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The term loan facility is guaranteed by us and all of our subsidiaries and is secured by liens on substantially all assets owned by us, including a first-priority lien on intellectual property owned by us and a second-priority lien on the revolving credit priority collateral. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The interest rate for the term loan fluctuates and is equal to the rate per annum equal to the British Banker Association Interest Settlement Rate for deposits in Dollars with a term of three months, as appears on the Bloomberg BBAM Screen, plus 10.75 percent. Interest is payable on the first day of each calendar month and the maturity date. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The term loan credit agreement contains usual and customary negative covenants for transactions of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability and our subsidiaries' ability to create or incur indebtedness; create liens; consolidate, merge, liquidate or dissolve; sell, lease or otherwise transfer any of its assets; substantially change the nature of its business; make investments or acquisitions; pay dividends; enter into transactions with affiliates; amend material documents, prepay certain indebtedness and make capital expenditures. The negative covenants are subject to certain exceptions as specified in the term loan credit agreement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition, the term loan credit agreement also requires us to maintain (a) (i) at all times, availability under the revolving credit facility of not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) at all times as tested on each date that a borrowing certificate is delivered, the sum of availability under the revolving credit facility plus up to $2,500,000 of unrestricted cash of not less than $7,500,000; (b) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, (c) a minimum EBITDA, and (d) a leverage ratio not more than the maximum leverage coverage ratio as set forth in the term loan credit agreement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
As of November 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the covenants under the term loan credit agreement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Amended and Restated Factoring Agreement | |||||||||||||||||||||||
On September 30, 2013, we entered into an amended and restated factoring agreement, or the Amended and Restated Factoring Agreement, with CIT, which replaces all prior agreements relating to factoring and inventory security. The Amended and Restated Factoring Agreement provides that we have sold and assigned to CIT certain of our accounts receivable, including accounts arising from or related to sales of inventory and the rendition of services. We will pay a factoring rate of 0.50 percent for accounts for which CIT bears the credit risk, subject to discretionary surcharges, and 0.35 percent for accounts for which we bear the credit risk, but in no event less than $3.50 per invoice. The interest rate associated with borrowings under the factoring facility will be equal to the interest rate then in effect for "Revolving A Loans" pursuant to the revolving credit agreement. The Amended and Restated Factoring Agreement may be terminated by CIT upon 60 days' written notice or immediately upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the agreement. The accounts receivable agreement may be terminated by us upon 60 days' written notice prior to September 30, 2018 or annually with 60 days' written notice prior to September 30th of each year thereafter. The Amended and Restated Factoring Agreement remains effective until it is terminated. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: | ||||||||||||||
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||
Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. We review the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. | ||||||||||||||

Our net noncurrent deferred tax assets decreased from $665,000 as of November 30, 2012 to a net noncurrent deferred tax liability of $16,202,000 as of November 30, 2013, primarily as a result of our acquisition of Hudson and the associated differences in basis for book and tax purposes. | |||||||||||
A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Annually, management reassesses the need for a valuation allowance. Realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon taxable income in prior carryback years, estimates of future taxable income, tax planning strategies and reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. Based on our assessment of these items for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, we determined that the deferred tax assets were more likely than not to be realized with the exception of a valuation allowance of $342,000 that was recorded against a state net operating loss deferred tax asset during fiscal 2013. | |||||||||||

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state jurisdictions. To the extent allowed by law, the tax authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where net operating losses were generated and carried forward, and make adjustments up to the amount of the net operating loss carryforward amount. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal and California income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2009. We are currently not subject to any examinations where we expect that the examination will have a material effect on our financial statements or results of operation upon conclusion of an examination. | |||||||||||
We had net operating loss carryforwards of $24,909,000 at the end of fiscal 2013 for federal tax purposes that will expire from fiscal 2019 through fiscal 2027. We also had $22,467,000 of net operating loss carryforwards available for California that will expire from fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2020. | |||||||||||
Certain limitations may be placed on net operating loss carryforwards as a result of "changes in control" as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. In the event a change in control occurs, it will have the effect of limiting the annual usage of the carryforwards in future years. Additional changes in control in future periods could result in further limitations of our ability to offset taxable income. Management believes that certain changes in control have occurred which resulted in limitations on its net operating loss carryforwards, however, management has determined that these limitations will not impact the ultimate utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards. | |||||||||||
As of November 30, 2013 and 2012, we provided a liability of $388,000 and $80,000, respectively, for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. Included in the balance sheet at November 30, 2013 is $324,000, net of tax related benefits that impact the effective income tax rate if recognized.

We recognized interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $6,000 and $(2,000) in the provision for income taxes in our statements of comprehensive (loss) income for fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. For fiscal 2013 and 2012, we had approximately $19,000 and $8,000, respectively, for the payment of interest accrued at November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the payment of any penalty, we accrued $51,000 and $0 at November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The penalty accrual at November 30, 2013 was related to the acquisition. We do not expect any material unrecognized tax benefit to reverse in fiscal 2014. | |||||||||||

Stock Incentive Plans | |||||||||||||||||
In September 2000, we adopted the 2000 Director Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2000 Director Plan, under which nonqualified stock options were granted to members of our Board of Directors in lieu of cash director fees. After the adoption of the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan in June 2004, we no longer granted options pursuant to the 2000 Director Plan; however, the plan remains in effect for awards outstanding as of the adoption of the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. As of November 30, 2013, no options to purchase shares of common stock remained outstanding under the 2000 Director Plan. | |||||||||||||||||
On June 3, 2004, we adopted the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2004 Incentive Plan, and in October 2011, we adopted an Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, or the Restated Plan, to update it with respect to certain provisions and changes in the tax code since its original adoption. Under the Restated Plan, the number of shares authorized for issuance is 6,825,000 shares of common stock. After the adoption of the Restated Plan in October 2011, we will no longer grant awards pursuant to the 2004 Incentive Plan; however, it remains in effect for awards outstanding as of the adoption of the Restated Plan. Under the Restated Plan, grants may be made to employees, officers, directors and consultants under a variety of awards based upon underlying equity, including, but not limited to, stock options, restricted common stock, restricted stock units or performance shares. The Restated Plan limits the number of shares that can be awarded to any employee in one year to 1,250,000. The exercise price for incentive options may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and the exercise period may not exceed ten years. Vesting periods, terms and types of awards are determined by the Board of Directors and/or our Compensation and Stock Option Committee, or Compensation Committee. The Restated Plan includes a provision for the acceleration of vesting of all awards upon a change of control as well as a provision that allows forfeited or unexercised awards that have expired to be available again for future issuance. Since fiscal 2008, we have issued both restricted common stock and restricted common stock units, or RSUs, to our officers, directors and employees pursuant to our various plans. The RSUs represent the right to receive one share of common stock for each unit on the vesting date provided that the employee continues to be employed by us. On the vesting date of the RSUs, we expect to issue the shares of common stock to each participant upon vesting and expect to withhold an equivalent number of shares at fair market value on the vesting date to fulfill tax withholding obligations. Any RSUs withheld or forfeited will be shares available for issuance in accordance with the terms of the Restated Plan. | |||||||||||||||||
The shares of common stock issued upon exercise of a previously granted stock option or a grant of restricted common stock or RSUs are considered new issuances from shares reserved for issuance in connection with the adoption of the various plans. We require that the option holder provide a written notice of exercise in accordance with the option agreement and plan to the stock plan administrator and full payment for the shares be made prior to issuance. All issuances are made under the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable plan. As of November 30, 2013, 3,544,756 shares remained available for issuance under the Restated Plan. | |||||||||||||||||
For all stock compensation awards that contain graded vesting with time-based service conditions, we have elected to apply a straight-line recognition method to account for all of these awards. For existing grants that were not fully vested at November 30, 2012, there was a total of $1,687,000 of stock based compensation expense recognized during fiscal 2013. | |||||||||||||||||

Operating Lease Obligations and Other Obligations Related to Operations | |||||
We lease certain equipment and office and retail space under separate lease arrangements. The leases generally contain renewal provisions. Equipment and office/retail rental expenses under such leases for the years ended November 30, 2013, November 30, 2012 and November 30, 2011, were approximately $7,034,000, $5,146,000 and $4,217,000, respectively. | |||||
We lease retail store locations under operating lease agreements expiring on various dates through 2024 or 3 to 10 years from the rent commencement date. Some of these leases require us to make periodic payments for property taxes, utilities and common area operating expenses. Certain retail store leases provide for rents based upon the minimum annual rental amount and a percentage of annual sales volume, generally ranging from 6% to 8%, when specific sales volumes are exceeded. Some leases include lease incentives, rent abatements and fixed rent escalations, which are amortized and recorded over the initial lease term on a straight-line basis. | |||||
In November 2010, we entered into a lease agreement to lease office and warehouse space at our current corporate offices and in August 2013, we entered into an extension for the lease of the same space beginning January 1, 2014, or collectively, the Lease Agreement. In connection with the Lease Agreement, we lease approximately 89,000 square feet which serves as our corporate headquarters and distribution center until December 31, 2018. We pay gross monthly rent in the amount of $43,700 for 2014 and our rent escalates at a rate of three percent per year thereafter. In addition, commencing on January 1, 2015, we are required to pay our pro rata share of increases in property taxes and insurance over what was paid in 2014. The Lease Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions related to the lease and condition of the premises, including a provision for a refundable security deposit in the amount of $90,000, of which $45,000 has been refunded. | |||||

Contingent Consideration Payments, Buy-Out Agreement and Earnout Subordination Agreement | |||||
As part of the consideration paid in connection with the merger with JD Holdings in October of 2007 and without regard to continued employment, until February 12, 2013, Mr. Dahan was entitled to a certain percentage of the gross profit earned by us in any applicable fiscal year until October 2017. Mr. Dahan was entitled to the following: (i) 11.33 percent of the gross profit from $11,251,000 to $22,500,000; (ii) three percent of the gross profit from $22,501,000 to $31,500,000; (iii) two percent of the gross profit from $31,501,000 to $40,500,000; and (iv) one percent of the gross profit above $40,501,000. The payments were paid in advance on a monthly basis based upon estimates of gross profits after the assumption that the payments were likely to be paid. At the end of each quarter, any overpayments were offset against future payments and any significant underpayments were made. No payments were made if the gross profit was less than $11,250,000. "Gross Profit" was defined as net sales of the Joe's® brand less cost of goods sold. We accounted for such payments as compensation expense. | |||||
On February 18, 2013, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Dahan that provided certainty of payments to him by removing the contingencies related to the contingent consideration payments to be made to Mr. Dahan as an earn out under the original merger agreement. This agreement fixed the overall amount to be paid by us for the remaining months of year six through year 10 in the original merger agreement. The payments are now made over an accelerated time period until November 2015 instead of October 2017. Under the agreement, beginning on February 22, 2013 until November 27, 2015, Mr. Dahan is entitled to receive the total aggregate fixed amount of $9,168,000 through weekly installment payments. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded a charge of $8,732,000 as contingent consideration buy-out expense in connection with this agreement. This amount represented the net present value of the total fixed amount that Mr. Dahan would receive. The entire amount was expensed during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as the amount payable represented a present obligation due to Mr. Dahan. Mr. Dahan is not required to perform any services or remain employed to receive the fixed amount. Mr. Dahan also agreed to an additional restrictive covenant relating to non-competition and non-solicitation until November 30, 2016 that added to the original restrictive covenant in the merger agreement. | |||||
On September 30, 2013, Mr. Dahan, CIT, Garrison and all of our loan parties entered into an earn out subordination agreement which provided, among other things, that any payment, whether in cash, in kind, securities or any other property, in connection with our obligations to Mr. Dahan would be expressly junior and subordinated in right of payment to all amounts due and owing upon any indebtedness outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility. We are permitted to make certain amount of weekly installment payments of our obligations in the absence of an insolvency proceeding or any event of default under the revolving credit agreement or the term loan credit agreement. | |||||
Litigation | |||||
We are involved from time to time in routine legal matters incidental to our business. In the opinion of our management, resolution of such matters will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. | |||||

Joe Dahan | |
Since the acquisition of the Joe's® brand as a result of a merger in October 2007 through February 18, 2013, Mr. Dahan was entitled to a certain percentage of our gross profit in any applicable fiscal year until October 2017. At the time of the acquisition, pursuant to ASC 805—Business Combinations, we assessed this original contingent consideration arrangement as compensatory and expensed such amounts over the term of the earn out period at the defined percentage amounts. For the fiscal years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011, expenses of $311,000, $1,862,000 and $1,757,000, respectively, were recorded in the statement of net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income related to the contingent consideration expense made to Mr. Dahan under the original agreement. | |
On February 18, 2013, we entered into a new agreement with Mr. Dahan that fixed the overall amount to be paid by us for the remaining months of year six through year 10 in the original merger agreement at $9,168,000 through weekly installment payments beginning on February 22, 2013 until November 27, 2015. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded a charge of $8,732,000 as contingent consideration buy-out expense in connection with this agreement. This amount represented the net present value of the total fixed amount that Mr. Dahan would receive. The entire amount was expensed during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as the amount payable represented a present obligation due to Mr. Dahan. On September 30, 2013, in connection with entry into new credit facilities relating to the acquisition of Hudson, Mr. Dahan, CIT, Garrison and all of our loan parties entered into an earn out subordination agreement, which provides, among other things, that any payment, whether in cash, in kind, securities or any other property, in connection with the our obligations to Mr. Dahan is expressly junior and subordinated in right of payment to all amounts due and owing upon any indebtedness outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility. We are permitted to make certain amount of weekly installment payments of our obligations in the absence of an insolvency proceeding or any event of default under the revolving credit agreement or the term loan credit agreement. | |
See "Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies—Contingent Consideration Payments, Buy Out Agreement and Earnout Subordination Agreement" for a further discussion on these agreements with Mr. Dahan. | |
Ambre Dahan | |
In January 2013, we entered in to a consulting arrangement with Ambre Dahan, the spouse of Mr. Joe Dahan, for design director services that pays her $175,000 per annum on a bi-weekly basis. For the fiscal year ended 2013, we paid Ms. Dahan $155,000 under this arrangement. This arrangement may be terminated at any time by the parties. Mr. Dahan is not a party to this arrangement, and we do not consider this arrangement material to us. | |
Albert Dahan | |
In April 2009, we entered into a commission-based sales agreement with Albert Dahan, brother of Joe Dahan, for the sale of our products into the off-price channels of distribution. Under the agreement, Mr. Albert Dahan is entitled to a commission for purchase orders entered into by us where he acts as a sales person. The agreement may be terminated at any time for any reason or no reason with or without notice. For the fiscal years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011, payments of $453,000, $573,000 and $580,000, respectively, were made to Mr. Albert Dahan under this arrangement. | |
In October 2011, we entered into an agreement with Ever Blue LLC, or Ever Blue, an entity for which Albert Dahan is the sole member, for the sale of children's products. Ever Blue has an exclusive right to produce, distribute and sell children's products bearing the Joe's® brand on a worldwide basis, subject to certain limitations on the channels of distribution. In exchange for the license, Ever Blue pays to us a royalty on net sales with certain guaranteed minimum sales for each term. In connection with this agreement, we provided initial funding to Ever Blue for inventory purchases, which such amount has been repaid in full. For the fiscal years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recognized $612,000, $296,000 and $0, respectively in royalty income under the license agreement. | |
Peter Kim | |
We have entered into several agreements, including a stock purchase agreement, a convertible note, a registration rights agreement, an employment agreement and a non-competition agreement with Peter Kim in connection with the acquisition of Hudson. See "Note 3—Acquisition of Hudson" and "Note 8—Debt" for a further discussion of those agreements. | |
Employment Agreements with Officers and Directors | |

On December 1, 2002, we established a tax qualified defined contribution 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, or the Joe's Plan for our Joe's employees. All employees who have worked for us for 30 consecutive days may participate in the Joe's Plan and may contribute up to 100 percent, subject to certain limitations, of their salary to the Joe's Plan. We may make company matched contributions on a discretionary basis. All employees who have worked 500 hours qualify for profit sharing in the event at the end of each year we decide to do so. Costs of the Joe's Plan charged to operations were $22,000, $26,000 and $16,000 for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, we match our Joe's employees' contributions, which are subject to a vesting schedule, in the lesser of the following amounts: (i) up to 2 percent of the employee's compensation, or (ii) 1/3 of the employee's contribution up to 6 percent of the employee's salary. For fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, we contributed $141,000, $132,000 and $117,000, respectively, to employees under the match portion of the Joe's Plan. | |
The Hudson Clothing LLC 401(k) Plan, or the Hudson Plan, was established on January 1, 2009 and covers employees employed by our Hudson subsidiary. All employees who have worked for Hudson after 6 months may participate in the Hudson Plan and may contribute up to the maximum amount allowed by law of their salary to the plan. We may make company matched contributions on a discretionary basis. All employees who have worked 1,000 hours qualify for profit sharing in the event at the end of each year we decide to do so. No costs of the Hudson Plan were charged to operations for fiscal 2013 since the acquisition. In addition, we match our Hudson employees' contributions, which are subject to a vesting schedule, of $0.50 for each $1.00 of the employee's contribution up to 3 percent of the employee's contribution. For fiscal 2013 since the date of acquisition, we contributed $12,000 to employees under the match portion of the Hudson's Plan. | |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ' | ||||||||||
Use of Estimates | ' | ||||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. | |||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ' | ||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||||||
Wholesale revenues are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting when title transfers to the customer, which is typically at the shipping point. We record estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs, including co-op advertising, other advertising programs or allowances, based upon a percentage of sales. We also allow for returns based upon pre-approval or in the case of damaged goods. Such returns are estimated based on historical experience and an allowance is provided at the time of sale. | |||||||||||
Retail store revenue is recognized net of estimated returns at the time of sale to consumers. E-commerce sales of products ordered through our retail internet sites known as www.joesjeans.com and www.hudsonjeans.com are recognized upon estimated delivery and receipt of the shipment by the customers. E-commerce revenue is also reduced by an estimate of returns. Retail store revenue and E-commerce revenue exclude sales taxes. Revenue from licensing arrangements are recognized when earned in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements, generally based upon the higher of (a) contractually guaranteed minimum royalty levels and (b) estimates of sales and royalty data received from our licensees. Payments received in consideration of the grant of a license or advanced royalty payments are recognized ratably as revenue over the term of the license agreement and are reflected under the caption of "Deferred Licensing Revenue" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The revenue recognized ratably over the term of the license agreement will not exceed royalty payments received. The unrecognized portion of the upfront payments are included in deferred royalties and accrued expenses depending on the long or short term nature of the payments to be recognized. There were no advanced payments under our licensing agreements during our fiscal year ended November 30, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||
Accounts Receivable, Due To Factor and Allowance for Customer Credits and Doubtful Allowances | ' | ||||||||||
Accounts Receivable, Due To Factor and Allowance for Customer Credits and Doubtful Allowances | |||||||||||
We evaluate our ability to collect on accounts receivable and charge-backs (disputes from the customer) based upon a combination of factors. Whether a receivable is past due is based on how recently payments have been received and in certain circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filings, substantial downgrading of credit sources). A specific reserve for bad debts is taken against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. Amounts are charged off against the reserve once it is established that amounts are not likely to be collected. We recognize reserves for charge-backs based on our historical collection experience. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4—Accounts Receivable, Inventory Advances and Due to Factor" for further discussion. | |||||||||||
Inventory | ' | ||||||||||
Inventory | |||||||||||
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventory consists of finished goods, work-in-process and raw materials. We continually evaluate our inventories by assessing slow moving current product. Market value of non-current inventory is estimated based on historical sales trends for this category of inventory for individual product lines, the impact of market trends, an evaluation of economic conditions and the value of current orders relating to future sales of this type of inventory. Inventory reserves establish a new cost basis for inventory. Such reserves are not reversed until the related inventory is sold or otherwise disposed. Costs capitalized in inventory include the purchase price of raw materials, contract labor and finished goods, plus in-bound transportation costs and import fees and duties. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we wrote down certain finished goods inventory by $1,620,000, representing the lower of cost or market adjustment. | |||||||||||
Deferred Financing Costs | ' | ||||||||||
Deferred Financing Costs | |||||||||||
Deferred financing costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related agreements (five years) and recorded as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Amortization of deferred financing costs included in interest expense was approximately $70,000 for the year ended November 30, 2013. We did not record any amortization of deferred financing cost for the years ended November 30, 2012 and 2011. | |||||||||||
Costs of Goods Sold | ' | ||||||||||
Costs of Goods Sold | |||||||||||
Costs of goods sold include product, freight in, freight out, inventory reserves, inventory markdowns and other various charges. | |||||||||||

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | |||||||||||
Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits, travel and entertainment, professional fees, advertising, marketing, sample expenses, stock based compensation expenses, facilities, fulfillment and distribution costs and payments made in connection with the earn-out consideration. | |||||||||||
Earnings Per Share | ' | ||||||||||
Earnings Per Share | |||||||||||
Basic earnings per share, or EPS, is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period except for periods of net loss for which no common share equivalents are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalent shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes are calculated using the if-converted method. | |||||||||||
Deferred Rent | ' | ||||||||||
Deferred Rent | |||||||||||
When a lease includes lease incentives (such as a rent holiday) or requires fixed escalations of the minimum lease payments, rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and the difference between the average rental amount charged to expense and amounts payable under the lease is included in deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||||
Advertising Costs | ' | ||||||||||
Advertising Costs | |||||||||||
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred, except in the case of seasonal media campaigns. The production and other related costs of seasonal media campaigns are capitalized and amortized over the expected period of future benefits, which is typically six months or less. | |||||||||||
Advertising and tradeshow expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $4,306,000, $2,953,000 and $4,025,000 for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||||
Financial Instruments | ' | ||||||||||
Financial Instruments | |||||||||||
The fair values of our financial instruments (which consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and due from factor) do not differ materially from their recorded amounts because of the relatively short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. The fair value of our long term debt and convertible notes is based on the amount of future cash flows associated with the instrument discounted using our incremental borrowing rate. At November 30, 2013, the carrying value of the long term debt was not materially different from fair value. | |||||||||||
The fair value of our convertible notes was $28,830,000 at November 30, 2013. The fair value of the embedded derivative in our convertible notes that was bifurcated and separately valued was $5,700,000 at November 30, 2013. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8—Debt" for further information regarding our derivative liabilities and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9—Fair Value Disclosures" regarding our fair value disclosures. | |||||||||||
We do not hold or have any obligations under financial instruments that possess off-balance sheet credit or market risk. | |||||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles | ' | ||||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles | |||||||||||
We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, identifiable intangibles and goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important that could trigger an impairment review other than on an annual basis include the following: | |||||||||||
• | |||||||||||
A significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; | |||||||||||
• | |||||||||||
A significant change in the manner of the use of the acquired asset or the strategy for the overall business; or | |||||||||||
• | |||||||||||
A significant negative industry or economic trend. | |||||||||||
When we determine that the carrying value of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the aforementioned factors and the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, impairment is measured based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management. These cash flows are calculated by netting future estimated sales against associated merchandise costs and other related expenses such as payroll, occupancy and marketing. | |||||||||||
The impairment loss calculations require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows and the discount rates that reflect the risk inherent in future cash flows. Future expected cash flows for store assets are based on management's estimates of future cash flows over the remaining lease period or expected life, if shorter. We consider historical trends, expected future business trends and other factors when estimating each store's future cash flow. We also consider factors such as: the local environment for each store location, including mall traffic and competition; our ability to successfully implement strategic initiatives; and the ability to control variable costs such as cost of sales and payroll, and in some cases, renegotiate lease costs. The estimated cash flows used for this nonrecurring fair value measurement are considered a Level 3 input as defined in Note 9. If actual results are not consistent with the assumptions and judgments used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, there may be additional exposure to future impairment losses that could be material to our results of operations. | |||||||||||
During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded store impairment charges of $1,144,000 related to two of our full price retail stores. Based on the operating performance of these stores, we believed that we could not recover the carrying value of property and equipment located at these stores. There was no impairment recorded during fiscal 2012 or fiscal 2013. | |||||||||||
Business acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method by assigning the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill. Purchased intangible assets, such as customer relationships and designs, with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill and other intangible assets, such as trademarks, with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment. | |||||||||||
In fiscal 2007, we acquired through merger JD Holdings, which included all of the goodwill and intangible assets goodwill related to the Joe's®, Joe's Jeans™ and JD® logo and marks. To date, we have not had to recognize any impairment related to the goodwill or intangible assets of our Joe's® brand. We have assigned an indefinite life to these intangible assets and therefore, no amortization expenses are expected to be recognized. However, we test the assets for impairment annually in accordance with our critical accounting policies. | |||||||||||
On September 30, 2013, we acquired Hudson, which included all of the goodwill and intangible assets related to the Hudson® logos and marks. To date, we have not recognized any impairment related to the goodwill or intangible assets of our Hudson® brand. We have assigned an indefinite life to the trademark, and therefore, no amortization expenses are expected to be recognized. However, we will test the assets for impairment annually in accordance with our critical accounting policies. | |||||||||||
Goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets at least annually using a two-step process. The first step is to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare this value to its carrying value. The determination of the fair value of the reporting unit as a discounted cash flow analysis requires unobservable inputs (Level 3) within the fair value hierarchy as defined in Note 9. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is required and no impairment loss would be recognized. The second step is performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets. The implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets must be determined and compared to the carrying value of the goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets. | |||||||||||
Our annual impairment testing date is September 30 of each year. For fiscal 2013 and 2012, we determined that there was no impairment of our goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets. | |||||||||||
Cash Equivalents | ' | ||||||||||
Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||
We consider all highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible into known amounts of cash and mature within 90 days from their date of purchase to be cash equivalents. | |||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | ' | ||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | |||||||||||
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and amounts due from factor. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. The policy is designed to limit exposure to any one institution. We perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit rating of those financial institutions that are considered in our investment strategy. | |||||||||||
We do not require collateral for trade accounts receivable. However, we sell a portion of our accounts receivable to CIT Commercial Services, Inc., or CIT, on a non-recourse basis. In that instance, we are no longer at risk if the customer fails to pay. However, for accounts receivable that are not sold to CIT or sold on a recourse basis, we continue to be at risk if these customers fail to pay. We provide an allowance for estimated losses to be incurred in the collection of accounts receivable based upon the aging of outstanding balances and other account monitoring analysis. The net carrying value approximates the fair value for these assets. Such losses have historically been within management's expectations. Uncollectible accounts are written off once collection efforts are deemed by management to have been exhausted. | |||||||||||
For fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, sales to customers or customer groups representing greater than 10 percent of net sales are as follows: | |||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | |||||||||

Less than 10%. | |||||||||||
Our 10 largest customers and customer groups accounted for approximately 64 percent of our net sales during fiscal 2013. In addition, our international sales were $6,031,000, $4,986,000 and $4,568,000 in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | ' | ||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||||
We measure the cost of all employee stock-based compensation awards based on the grant date fair value of those awards and record that cost as compensation expense over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for the award (generally over the vesting period of the award). An entity may elect either an accelerated recognition method or a straight-line recognition method for awards subject to graded vesting based on a service condition, regardless of how the fair value of the award is measured. For all stock based compensation awards that contain graded vesting based on service conditions, we have elected to apply a straight-line recognition method to account for these awards. | |||||||||||
Property and Equipment | ' | ||||||||||
Property and Equipment | |||||||||||
Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or fair value in the case of impaired assets. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the estimated service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is included in the determination of net income. | |||||||||||
Income Taxes | ' | ||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||
We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. | |||||||||||
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The likelihood of a material change in our expected realization of these assets depends on our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. Our ability to generate enough taxable income to utilize our deferred tax assets depends on many factors, among which is our ability to deduct tax loss carry-forwards against future taxable income, the effectiveness of tax planning strategies and reversing deferred tax liabilities. | |||||||||||
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based upon the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based upon the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties that would be assessed in relation to the settlement value of unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. | |||||||||||

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued authoritative guidance that revised its requirements related to the presentation of comprehensive income, which was effective for fiscal periods beginning after January 1, 2012, with early adoption allowed. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income, or OCI, as part of the consolidated statement of equity. It requires presentation of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. We presently do not have any components of comprehensive income and as such comprehensive income (loss) is the same as our net (loss) income. | |||||||||||
In February 2013, the FASB issued a standard that revised the disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and requires entities to present information about significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component either (1) on the face of the statement where net income is presented or (2) as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on our financial statements. | |||||||||||
In March 2013, the FASB issued a standard which requires the release of our cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on our financial statements. | |||||||||||
In July 2013, the FASB issued a standard clarify the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists as of the reporting date. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on our financial statements. | |||||||||||
In July 2013, the FASB issued a standard permitting the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to the United States Treasury rate and London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR. In addition, the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges is removed. We are required to adopt these provisions prospectively for qualifying new or re-designated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on our financial statements. | |||||||||||
