NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for interim financial
information. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying
consolidated condensed financial statements contain all of the adjustments (all
of which were of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of October 4, 1997 as well as its results
of operations and cash flows for the periods ended October 4, 1997 and October
5, 1996. Operating results for interim periods may not be indicative of results
for the full fiscal year. The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of July 5,
1997 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended July 5, 1997.
2. In May 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Company's
plan to purchase up to $10,000,000 of its Common Stock. As of October 4, 1997,
the Company had purchased 272,200 shares of its Common Stock at an average price
of $15.09 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $4,108,000.
3. During the first quarter of fiscal 1998 the Company, closed its Bally's
Fitness Centers Stores, as well as consolidated its three California
manufacturing facilities into two facilities. These actions resulted in
non-recurring charges of $1,408,000 ($859,000 net of income tax benefits of
$549,000) which have been included in selling, general and administrative
expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

------------------------
Net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was $37.0 million compared
to $38.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Net revenue for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 included $5.5 million of net revenues related to the
discontinued skiwear operations. Excluding discontinued skiwear operations, net
revenue increased 11.5%, primarily due to an increase of 21.8% in Authentic
Fitness'r' Retail Division net revenue. Speedo'r' Division net revenue increased
3.8% to $21.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $20.4 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The Speedo'r' sales mix improved dramatically
as regular price shipments increased approximately 33% compared to last year.
Racing and fitness swimwear increased approximately 37% over last year while
goggles and accessories were up approximately 20%. The Designer Swimwear
Division's net revenue increased to $2.0 million from $1.4 million last year.
Authentic Fitness'r' Retail Division net revenue increased 21.8% to $13.8
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $11.3 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997. At November 10, 1997 the Company had 139 stores open
compared to 104 stores last year. Same store sales for the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 increased 5.6% over the year earlier period.
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased to $13.1
million from $11.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase in
gross profit reflects the better Speedo'r' sales mix, as noted above, and the
increase in Authentic Fitness'r' Retail Division sales. Gross profit as a
percentage of net revenue was 35.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared
to 29.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase in gross profit as a
percentage of net revenue reflects the better regular price sales mix in the
Speedo'r' Division, as noted above and the higher level of Authentic Fitness'r'
Retail Division sales which generate a higher gross profit margin than the
wholesale divisions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $19. 8 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $20.0 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses
reflects lower marketing and advertising expenses and a reduction in workforce
effected during fiscal 1997, partially offset by higher depreciation and
amortization expenses and higher retail division selling costs.
The Company recorded $1.4 million ($0.9 million net of income tax benefits
of $0.5 million) of non-recurring expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1998
related to the write-off of certain assets and other
6
costs associated with closing the Company's Bally's Fitness Center stores, as
well as costs incurred in the consolidation of the Company's three California
manufacturing facilities into two facilities.
Interest expense was $3.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998
compared to $2.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase of
approximately $400,000 in interest expense compared to last year is primarily a
result of higher borrowing to finance the opening of thirty-five Authentic
Fitness'r' Retail Stores since last year and the associated higher working
capital requirements.
The Company's effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal
1998 was 39%. The Company did not record an income tax benefit in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997.
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was $(6.8) million compared
to a net loss of $(11.5) million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The net
loss for the first quarter of fiscal 1997, after giving effect to a pro-forma
income tax benefit of 36%, was $(7.3) million. The improvement in the net loss
reflects the higher operating income partially offset by higher interest
expense, as noted above.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
On September 6, 1996, the Company entered into a $200 million Credit
Agreement with GE Capital, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Societe Generale and Union
Bank of California (the '$200 Million Credit Agreement'). The $200 Million
Credit Agreement is for a term of five years and provides for a term loan ('Term
Loan') in the amount of $50 million and a revolving loan facility ('Revolving
Loan') in the amount of $150 million. Borrowings under the $200 Million Credit
Agreement accrue interest at the lenders' base rate or at LIBOR plus 1.0%. The
rate of interest payable on outstanding borrowing will be automatically reduced
to as low as LIBOR plus 0.75% based upon improvements in the Company's EBITDA to
debt ratio.
In May 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase
program which allows the Company to buy up to $10 million of its outstanding
Common Stock. As of November 10, 1997, the Company had purchased 272,200 shares
of its Common Stock at an average price of $15.09 per share. The aggregate cost
of the shares was $4.1 million.
On August 16, 1995, consistent with the Company's goal of providing
increased shareholder value, the Company declared its first quarterly cash
dividend of 1.25[c] per share, equivalent of an annual rate of 5[c] per share.
The Company has since declared eight successive quarterly cash dividends of
1.25[c] per share. The Company believes that the payment of a regular quarterly
cash dividend helps broaden the Company's shareholder base.
The Company plans to expand its channels of distribution and provide growth
in its operations by opening additional Speedo'r' Authentic Fitness'r' retail
stores. The Company currently has 139 stores open. The cost of leasehold
improvements, fixtures and the additional working capital associated with the
opening of an average new store is expected to be approximately $250,000.
The Company's liquidity requirements arise primarily from its debt service
requirements and the funding of the Company's working capital needs, primarily
inventory and accounts receivable. The Company's borrowing requirements are
seasonal, with peak working capital needs arising at the end of the third
quarter and beginning of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. The Company
typically generates nearly all of its operating cash flow in the fourth quarter
of the fiscal year reflecting third and fourth quarter shipments and the sale of
inventory built during the first half of the fiscal year. The Company meets its
seasonal working capital needs by utilizing amounts available under its
Revolving Loan.
Cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was
$(24.0) million compared to $(4.6) million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
The increase in cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal
1998 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1997 primarily reflects income tax
payments of $5.8 million and higher working capital usage. Inventory increased
$20.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from year end reflecting the
seasonal increase in inventory to support second and third quarter shipping.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $7.1 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 from year end reflecting the timing of certain trade
payments, primarily related to inventory. Cash used in investing activities was
$(1.7) million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared
7
to $(7.3) million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The decrease in cash used
in investing activities reflects lower capital expenditures of $5.6 million due
to the timing of Authentic Fitness'r' retail store openings. Cash provided from
financing activities was $25.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998
compared to $10.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Cash provided
from financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 primarily reflects
seasonal borrowing under the Company's Revolving Loan partially offset by the
repurchase of $2.3 million of the Company's Common Stock. Cash provided from
financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 primarily reflects the
refinancing of the Company's debt agreements and the payment of related debt
issue costs. The Company's revolving loan balance was $103.7 million at the end
of the first quarter of fiscal 1998. At November 11, 1997 the Company had
approximately $15 million of additional credit available under its Revolving
Loan.
The Company believes that funds available under its $200 Million Credit
Agreement, as noted above, combined with cash flow to be generated from future
operations will be sufficient for the operations of the Company, including debt
service, dividend payments and costs associated with the expansion of its
Authentic Fitness'r' Retail Division for at least the next twelve months.
Although the Company believes that its current credit agreement and cash flow to
be generated from future operations will also be sufficient for its long-term
operations (periods beyond the next twelve months) circumstances may arise that
would require the Company to seek additional financing. In those circumstances
the Company expects to evaluate additional sources of funds, for example, sales
of additional common stock and expanded or additional bank credit facilities.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Following a comprehensive study of the Company's current systems and future
requirements, the Company will initiate a program to update or replace existing
capabilities with enhanced hardware and software applications. The objectives of
the new program are to achieve competitive benefits for the Company, as well as
assuring that all systems will meet 'Year 2000' requirements. Implementation of
this program is expected to require expenditures, primarily capital, of
approximately $12 million over the next three years. Funding requirements have
been incorporated into the Company's capital and operating expenditure plans and
are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
condition, results of operations or liquidity.
