NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENT POLICIES
Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Fossil, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its majority-owned
subsidiaries (the "Company"). The condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
present a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of April 7,
2001, and the results of operations for the fourteen-week period ended April 7,
2001 and thirteen-week period ended April 1, 2000. All adjustments are of a
normal, recurring nature.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in Form 10-K filed
by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the year
ended December 30, 2000. Operating results for the fourteen-week period ended
April 7, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for
the full year.
Business. The Company designs, develops, markets and distributes fashion watches
and other accessories, principally under the "FOSSIL" and "RELIC" brand names.
The Company's products are sold primarily through department stores and other
major retailers, both domestically and in over 80 countries worldwide.
2. INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of the following:

Merchandise in-transit from estimated
customer returns 11,040 12,269
-------- --------
$ 88,579 $ 81,118
======== ========
3. FOREIGN CURRENCY HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
The Company periodically enters into forward contracts principally to hedge the
future payment of intercompany inventory transactions with its non-U.S.
subsidiaries. At April 7, 2001, the Company had hedge contracts to sell 18.4
million Euro for approximately $17.0 million, expiring through December 2001. If
the Company were to settle its Euro based contracts at that date, the net result
would be a gain of approximately $281,000, net of taxes. This net unrealized
gain is recognized in other comprehensive income under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." In implementing SFAS No. 133
as of December 31, 2000, the Company recognized a net unrealized loss of
approximately $400,000 in other comprehensive income.

FOSSIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of Fossil, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries (the "Company")
for the fourteen week period ended April 7, 2001 (the "First Quarter"), as
compared to the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2000 (the "Prior Year
Quarter"). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes attached hereto.
General
The Company is a leader in the design, development, marketing and distribution
of contemporary, high quality fashion watches and accessories. The FOSSIL brand
name was developed by the Company to convey a distinctive fashion, quality and
value message and a brand image reminiscent of "America in the 1950s" that
suggests a time of fun, fashion and humor. Since its inception in 1984, the
Company has grown from its original flagship FOSSIL watch product into a company
offering a diversified range of accessories and apparel. The Company's current
product offerings include an extensive line of fashion watches sold under the
FOSSIL and RELIC brands, complementary lines of small leather goods, belts,
handbags, sunglasses, jewelry and FOSSIL brand apparel. In addition to
developing its own brands, the Company leverages its development and production
expertise by designing and manufacturing private label and licensed products for
some of the most prestigious companies in the world, including national
retailers, entertainment companies and fashion designers.
The Company's products are sold primarily to department stores and specialty
retail stores in over 80 countries worldwide through Company-owned foreign sales
subsidiaries and through a network of 47 independent distributors. The Company's
foreign operations include a presence in Asia, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean,
Europe, Central and South America and the Middle East. In addition, the
Company's products are offered at Company-owned retail locations throughout the
United States and in independently-owned, authorized FOSSIL retail stores and
kiosks located in several major airports, on cruise ships and in certain
international markets. The Company's successful expansion of its product lines
worldwide and leveraging of its infrastructure have contributed to its
increasing net sales and operating profits.
First Quarter Highlights
o Despite an overall weakness in the Euro, net sales from the Company's
European operations increased 28% over the Prior Year Quarter.
o Other international sales, which consist of export sales and sales from the
Company's Far East operations, increased 48% over the Prior Year Quarter.
o Licensed watch line sales surpassed $20 million during the First Quarter, a
64% increase over the Prior Year Quarter.
o Leather product sales increased by 38% over the Prior Year Quarter as
FOSSIL handbags and RELIC brand leather lines continued to gain market
share.
o The Company operated 39 outlet and 34 full-price retail stores at the end
of the First Quarter compared to 35 outlet and 17 full-price retail stores
at the end of the Prior Year Quarter. This retail store expansion, as well
as increases in same store sales, generated sales volume growth in excess
of 50% for the First Quarter.

====== ====== === ===
The Company's net sales grew to $121.1 million in the First Quarter, a 17%
increase over the Prior Year Quarter. During the First Quarter, the Company
benefited greatly from its geographic and product diversification. Net sales
from non-US based operations grew 34% to $42 million despite the negative impact
8
of a weak Euro. Sales of licensed and FOSSIL brand watches primarily contributed
to the international sales growth. Domestically, watch sales declined 6% as
sales increases in the Company's RELIC and corporate gift programs did not fully
offset declines in the Company's FOSSIL brand and private label watch brand.
Other domestic product net sales grew 23% to $29.4 million. The Company's
leather product group sales increased 38%, principally from continued growth in
FOSSIL leather handbags and RELIC brand leather goods. Additionally, net sales
from the Company's retail stores increased to $10.8 million, a 54% increase over
the Prior Year Quarter, as a result of additional doors being opened in the
later part of 2000 and same store sales increases of 3.5%.
Gross Profit. Gross profit margins decreased primarily as a result of the
weakness of the Euro against the U.S. dollar. Since the Company's European-based
operations primarily purchase products from the United States and Hong Kong, the
Company's European product costs escalated approximately 16% during the First
Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter, resulting in a 150 basis point
decrease in the Company's consolidated gross margin. Additionally, the gross
profit margin decrease in the First Quarter was further impacted by (i) a higher
mix of leather product versus watch sales as the Company's leather products
historically generate gross profit margins below the Company's consolidated
gross profit margin and (ii) additional markdowns taken to clear out holiday
gift packages and discontinued leather categories. These negative influences on
gross margin were partially offset by higher gross profit margins resulting from
a greater mix of sales from licensed watches and Company-owned retail stores,
both of which historically generated margins above the Company's consolidated
gross profit margin.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased principally due to increased
sales volume, the impact of expenses relating to twenty-one new Company-owned
retail locations opened since the Prior Year Quarter and infrastructure
increases added primarily in the latter half of fiscal year 2000. As a
percentage of sales, operating expenses related to the retail stores are
generally higher than the Company's consolidated average during the first half
of the year. The Company believes the infrastructure cost increases, primarily
related to personnel and distribution costs, will allow for continued
development of new concepts and product lines to fuel its future growth.
Operating Income. The decrease in the Company's gross profit margin and increase
in operating expenses as a percentage of sales resulted in the reduction of the
Company's operating profit margin to 13.5% for the First Quarter compared to
20.4% in the Prior Year Quarter. Management believes the Company will achieve a
full year operating profit margin in the 17% range and expects EPS growth to
exceed 10%. However, from a quarterly perspective, earnings will be more heavily
back-end weighted due to the significance of the (i) Company's growing retail
operations, (ii) non-anniversarying of an $8.3 million non-branded premium
incentive sale made in the second quarter of fiscal year 2000, (iii) weaker Euro
on a comparable basis in the first half of fiscal year 2001 and (iv)
infrastructure costs added in the latter half of fiscal year 2000.
Other Income (Expense) - Net. Other income (expense) - net increased favorably
by $72,000 during the First Quarter as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. An
increase in equity in the earnings of affiliated companies was slightly offset
by a decrease in interest income resulting from decreases in average invested
cash balances and interest rates during the comparable quarterly periods.
Provision For Income Taxes. The effective tax rate decreased to 40% during the
First Quarter compared to 41% during the Prior Year Quarter to reflect the lower
worldwide effective tax rate being achieved by the Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's general business operations historically have not required
substantial cash needs during the first several months of its fiscal year.
Generally, starting in the second quarter the Company's cash needs begin to
increase and typically reach their peak in the September-November time frame.
The additional cash needs have generally been to finance the accumulation of
inventory and the build-up in accounts receivable. At the end of the First
Quarter, the Company's inventories increased by $15.6 million, or 21%, compared
to inventory balances at the end of the Prior Year Quarter. This increase, in
comparison to the 17% increase in net sales, is primarily due to increased
inventory level in the Company's retail stores due to the addition of twenty-one
new locations since the Prior Year Quarter. Annualized inventory turns, however,
9
remained relatively consistent with prior period results. First Quarter accounts
receivable balances remained relatively unchanged as the Prior Year Quarter
balances were elevated as a result of the launch of DKNY late in the quarter.
In addition to cash needs to support inventory levels, during the First Quarter
the Company acquired 206,000 shares of its common stock through open market
purchases at an aggregate cost of approximately $3.5 million and immediately
retired these shares. At the end of the First Quarter, approximately 475,000
shares were available for repurchase under the previous buyback authorizations.
The Company ended the First Quarter with approximately $90 million in cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments and working capital of $174 million
compared to working capital of $165 million and $170 million at the end of the
Prior Year Quarter and fiscal 2000 year-end, respectively. The Company had
outstanding borrowings of $4.7 million against its $43 million bank credit
facility at the end of the First Quarter. Management believes that cash flow
from operations combined with existing cash on hand will be sufficient to
satisfy its working capital requirements, including the approximate $25 million
it plans to spend in the second half of the year relating to its new
distribution facility, for the remainder of the year.
Forward-Looking Statements
Included within management's discussion of the Company's operating results,
"forward-looking statements" were made within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding expectations for 2001. The
actual results may differ materially from those expressed by these
forward-looking statements. Significant factors that could cause the Company's
2001 operating results to differ materially from management's current
expectations include, among other items, significant changes in consumer
spending patterns or preferences, competition in the Company's product areas,
international in comparison to domestic sales mix, changes in foreign currency
valuations in relation to the United States dollar, principally the European
Union's Euro and Japanese Yen, an inability of management to control operating
expenses in relation to net sales without damaging the long-term direction of
the Company and the risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company's current
report on Form 8-K dated March 30, 1999.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a multinational enterprise, the Company is exposed to changes in foreign
currency exchange rates. The Company employs a variety of practices to manage
this market risk, including its operating and financing activities and, where
deemed appropriate, the use of derivative financial instruments. Forward
contracts have been utilized by the Company to mitigate foreign currency risk.
The Company's most significant foreign currency risks relate to the Euro and the
Japanese Yen. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only for risk
management purposes and does not use them for speculation or for trading. There
were no significant changes in how the Company managed foreign currency
transactional exposures during the First Quarter and management does not
anticipate any significant changes in such exposures or in the strategies it
employs to manage such exposures in the near future.
