NOTES:
(1) In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial information
have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
(2) The Company has entered into forward exchange contracts for the purpose of
hedging firmly committed inventory purchases with outside vendors. The
Company accounts for these contracts under the deferral method.
Accordingly, gains and losses are recorded in inventory when the inventory
is purchased.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard requires that entities
recognize derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet
and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company intends to adopt
this standard in 2001. The adoption of this standard is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company's balance sheet or statement of
earnings.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary source of liquidity is its cash and marketable
securities which aggregated approximately $23,856,000 at March 31, 2000,
compared with $26,377,000 at December 31, 1999. In addition, the Company
maintains a $7,500,000 bank line of credit and has banker acceptance loan
facilities to provide funds on a short-term basis when necessary. There
were no draws on the line of credit during the first quarter of 2000.
Cash flows from operations were $3.8 million lower in the first quarter of
2000 than in the same period of 1999. The decrease in cash flows from
operations was primarily due to an $8.1 million increase in accounts
receivable, resulting from the 20% increase in sales. This, however, was
partially offset by the positive effect on cash flows of the $3.1 million
decrease in inventories and the $1.2 million increase in accrued income
taxes during the period.
The Company's capital expenditures were $73,000 and $2,300,000 for the
first quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively. In 1999, expenditures were
primarily related to the construction of the Company's new 346,000 square
foot corporate office and distribution center. The Company's corporate
offices and distribution functions moved into the new building in 1999.
The Company issued commercial paper with 30 to 90 day maturities to finance
the building construction project. The commercial paper is backed by a
three-year, $12 million revolving credit agreement. At March 31, 2000,
there was $9,715,000 of commercial paper and advances on the revolving
credit agreement outstanding.
During the first quarter of 2000, the Company purchased 36,500 shares at a
total cost of $881,000 under its stock repurchase program, and 20,432
shares at a total cost of $513,000 in private transactions. As of March 31,
2000, the Company has the option of purchasing up to 439,100 additional
shares under its current stock repurchase program.
The Company believes that available cash and marketable securities, cash
provided from operations and available borrowing facilities will provide
adequate support for the cash needs of the business.

Results of Operations
Overall net sales increased 20%, from $35,041,000 for the first quarter of
1999 to $41,997,000 for the first quarter of 2000. This 20% increase was
the result of a 20% increase in wholesale net sales, up from $33,532,000
for the first quarter of 1999 to $40,394,000 in the first quarter of 2000,
and a 6% increase in retail net sales, up from $1,509,000 for the first
quarter of 1999 to $1,603,000 in the first quarter of 2000. The increase in
wholesale sales was driven by an increase in pairs shipped. Same store
retail net sales increased 7% between periods.
All of the Company's brands posted strong sales increases during the first
quarter. The Stacy Adams division was up 21% with significant gains in both
dress footwear and in our "SAO by Stacy Adams" casual line. The Nunn Bush
division was up 16% with strong growth from our Nunn Bush NXXT contemporary
line, as well as our core Nunn Bush line. The Brass Boot brand experienced
a 78% increase in sales. Our sales backlogs are up significantly for all
brands.
Gross earnings as a percent of net sales for the first quarter decreased
from 27.7% in 1999 to 26.7% in 2000. This decrease results mainly from the
decrease in gross earnings as a percent of net sales for the wholesale
division, which decreased from 26.6% in 1999 to 25.8% in 2000. The decrease
in wholesale gross earnings as a percent of net sales between 1999 and 2000
is primarily attributable to differences in the mix of products sold
between periods.
Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales decreased
from 16.6% for the first quarter of 1999 to 15.8% for the same period in
2000. This is primarily the result of the decrease in wholesale selling and
administrative expenses as a percent of wholesale net sales from 15.1% in
the first quarter of 1999 to 14.5% in the first quarter of 2000. In
general, the decrease in selling and administrative expenses in relation to
the change in net sales reflects the fixed costs included in selling and
administrative expenses, which are not affected by changes in sales
volumes.
The effective tax rate increased from 35% in the first quarter of 1999 to
36% in the first quarter of 2000. The increase results from the decrease in
municipal bond income due to lower marketable securities balances this
year.
