NOTE 3 - Income taxes are provided based upon income
reported for financial statement purposes. Deferred income
taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the
financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the company's
assets and liabilities.
NOTE 4 - Five percent cumulative preferred stock is
$100 par value, 22,000 shares authorized, shares issued and
outstanding 1,975 shares (1995 and 1994). There were no
dividends declared on the company's five percent cumulative
preferred stock for the three month period ended April 1, 1995.
Prior to second quarter 1994 all regular dividends on the five
percent cumulative preferred stock had been declared and paid.
The cumulative dividends that had not been paid as of April 1,
1995 amounting to $9,875 were declared on May 2, 1995 and are
payable July 3, 1995.
Series B preferred stock is cumulative, convertible
preferred stock, $7.50 Series B, $100 stated value, 150,000
shares authorized, issued and outstanding (1995 and 1994).
There were no dividends declared on the company's Series B
preferred stock for the three month period ended April 1, 1995.
Prior to second quarter 1994 all regular dividends on the Series
B cumulative preferred stock had been declared and paid. The

April 1, 1995 amounting to $1,125,000 were declared on May 2,
1995 and are payable July 3, 1995.
Common stock, $1 par value, 60,000,000 shares
authorized, shares issued and outstanding 29,806,793 at April 1,
1995 and December 31, 1994. There were no dividends declared on
the company's common stock for the three month period ended
April 1, 1995. A dividend of $.05 per common share was declared
and paid for the first quarter of 1994.
NOTE 5 - Income (loss) per common share is computed
using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
in the first three months of 1995 and 1994 of 29,806,793 and
29,322,906, respectively. Although the cumulative preferred
dividends of $1,134,875 were not declared for the last four
quarters, they have been reflected in the calculation of income
(loss) per common share.
NOTE 6 - The company's term loan agreement, senior
notes and revolving credit facility contain provisions regarding
the company's financial performance and condition. At April 1,
1995, the company was in compliance with the covenants.
NOTE 7 - On January 1, 1995, the company adopted the
provisions of the Accounting Standards Executive Committee's
Statement of Position on Reporting Advertising Costs
("Statement"). The adoption of the Statement increased selling,
general and administrative expenses as reported on the Statement
of Operations by $4,970,000.
NOTE 8 - In March 1995, the company completed its
public offering of $110 million principal amount of 10 5/8%
Senior Notes due 2005 and entered into a senior credit facility
with a number of banks (the "Refinancing.") In connection with
the Refinancing, the company wrote-off unamortized debt issue
costs of $3,109,000 and incurred a prepayment penalty of
$2,933,000. Such amounts, net of income taxes of $2,296,000,
have been reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial
Statements as an extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of
debt.

======== ========
Note: Certain items have been rounded to cause the
columns to add to 100%.
Net sales and other income for the three months ended April 1, 1995
decreased $2 million, or 2% from the first quarter of 1994 due to
lower licensed sports apparel sales (down 43%) and lower headwear
revenues (down 26%) partially offset by sales growth in
non-decorated activewear sales (up 50%). The licensed sports
apparel and headwear declines were due to the continuing adverse
effects of the Major League Baseball strike and the National
Hockey League lockout and to some overall softening in the
licensed sports apparel marketplace. The resumption of the
hockey season in January and the baseball season in April
should begin to lessen this unfavorable trend in the second
half of 1995.
Sales of the company's jersey products were
particularly strong during the first quarter of 1995 with
revenues increasing 129% compared to the first quarter of 1994.
The company's strategic emphasis on branded products has enabled
the Discus Athleticr brand to gain recognition in the
marketplace as evidenced by 66% sales growth over the comparable
period of the prior year. The company's licensed activewear
backlog at April 1, 1995 was $332 million versus $143 million at
April 2, 1994. Decorated apparel backlogs were $23 million and
$27 million at April 1, 1995 and April 2, 1994, respectively.
Margins and operating results in 1995 also show
improvement over the comparable first quarter of last year. For
the comparative three-month periods, cost of products sold as a
percentage of sales decreased in 1995 to 69% from 72%. This
margin improvement resulted primarily from manufacturing
efficiencies realized from increased production schedules and
higher average selling prices. The company is currently
operating its non-decorated activewear plants at or near
capacity. Raw material costs were higher in the first quarter
of 1995 as a result of increased raw cotton and polyester
prices. The company has contracted to purchase substantially
all of its raw cotton needs for 1995 and has fixed the price on
approximately 67% of these needs. Depreciation expense for the
first quarter decreased $319 thousand compared to the first
quarter of 1994 due to relatively low capital expenditures
during the preceding twelve months.
As a percentage of sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses (S, G&A) were 34% for the first three
months of 1995 compared to 26% for the comparable period of
1994. The increase was primarily due to expensing $5 million
in deferred advertising costs as required by the Accounting
Standards Executive Committee's Statement on Reporting
Advertising Costs. This statement first became effective for
the company at the beginning of the 1995 fiscal year. Excluding
this one-time charge, S, G&A expenses as a percentage of sales
were 28%. This increase compared to the first quarter of 1994
was mainly due to increased advertising of the company's premium
Discus Athleticr and Logo Athleticr brands.
Interest expense increased 18% when compared to the
first quarter of 1994 due to higher average rates partially
offset by lower average borrowing requirements. The nature of
the company's primary businesses requires extensive seasonal
borrowings to support its working capital needs. For the first
three months of 1995 working capital borrowings averaged $98
million at average rates of 8.1% compared to $129 million and
4.1%, respectively, for the comparable period of the prior year.
The average borrowing reduction was due to the company's
continuing emphasis on increasing inventory turns and reducing
average accounts receivable days outstanding.
The effective rate for combined federal and state
income taxes was 38% for the first quarter of 1995 and 1994.
Management believes the company is well positioned to
benefit directly from the continuation of strong sales and
improved margins in non-decorated activewear and to begin to
realize improvements in decorated apparel and headwear. The
company's continuing efforts to reduce seasonality benefited
from the dramatic sales growth of its jersey products. Despite
this improvement, the company's annual financial performance is
dependent on its seasonally strong second half when historically
approximately 65% of its annual sales occur.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
- ----------------------------------------------------
Net working capital at April 1, 1995 increased $115
million from year-end 1994 due to lower current maturities of
long-term debt.
Net accounts receivable decreased $54 million from
December 31, 1994 to April 1, 1995 due to the seasonality of
activewear shipments. Receivables normally peak in September
and October and begin to decline in December as shipment volume
decreases and cash is collected.
Inventories traditionally increase during the first
half of the year to support second-half shipments. Compared to
the December 31, 1994, inventories increased approximately $44
million or 33%. The current ratio at April 1, 1995 was 8.1
compared to 1.7 at December 31, 1994. The increase in the
ratio from the beginning of the year was mainly due to lower
current maturities of long term debt described below.
On March 8, 1995, the company signed a three-year
$225 million revolving credit facility which replaced its
existing facility due to expire on October 5, 1995. On March
16, 1995, the company sold $110 million of 10 5/8% senior notes
due March 15, 2005. The senior notes, which were priced at par,
were used to repay existing indebtedness of the company. In
connection with these transactions the company recognized a
one-time, after tax charge of $3,746,000 or 13 cents per share,
representing unamortized debt issuance costs and a prepayment
premium. While this refinancing will result in higher interest
expense, the company believes that the longer maturity and
increased covenant flexibility provided under the terms of these
agreements will allow the company to continue its long-term
investment in brand promotion and higher margin products. Total
long-term debt at April 1, 1995 included the senior notes
totaling $110 million and $100 million outstanding under the new
revolver. At the end of the first quarter of 1995 the company
was in compliance with all debt covenants.
Stockholders' equity decreased $12 million during the
first three months of 1995 as a result of the net loss for the
period of $12 million. On April 21, 1994, the Board of
Directors voted to suspend further dividend payments until such
time as cash flow and profitability are sufficient to support
them. On May 2, 1995 the Board of Directors declared dividends
for the five percent cumulative preferred stock and the Series
B, cumulative convertible preferred stock for the dividend
arrearage of $1,135,000 payable on July 3, 1995.
For the first three months of 1995 net cash provided
by operations was $9 million versus $193,000 for the same period
last year, an increase of $9 million. The lower need for
operating cash was due to significant collections of accounts
receivable and lower prepaid expenses partially offset by the
company's seasonal inventory increases. Cash used for capital
asset additions increased approximately $3 million in 1995
compared to the first three months of 1994. Cash used by
financing activities increased $7 million from the first three
months of 1994 primarily as a result of debt repayment. The
senior notes require no principal payments for ten years with
interest due semi-annually. The $225 million revolver has a
three-year term which expires in April 1998. The company expects
that annual cash flows from income and non-cash items,
supplemented by the revolving credit facility, will be adequate
to support requirements for the remainder of 1995.
