EXHIBIT 13 2002 ANNUAL REPORT WEYCO GROUP, INC. To Our Shareholders: 2002 was a landmark year for Weyco Group. This year will go down in Company history as the year we "brought the Florsheim brand home". Fifty years ago, the Florsheim family sold its stake in our namesake shoe company, which was founded by our great grandfather in 1892. This year, we had the unique opportunity to reacquire our name and one of the best known brands in the men's shoe business. In March of 2002, Florsheim Group, Inc., filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as well as a motion for the court to approve an asset purchase agreement with Weyco Group. After a waiting period in which interested third parties were allowed to submit bids for the Florsheim assets, our bid prevailed. On May 20, 2002, we acquired certain assets of Florsheim Group, Inc.'s U.S. wholesale business, as well as the leaseholds and associated assets for 23 retail and outlet shoe stores located in the U.S. Shortly thereafter, we acquired Florsheim's European wholesale business as well as three retail stores located in Germany, France and Italy. In addition, we now own the Florsheim trademarks, and have licensing agreements with third parties to distribute the brand internationally. The total purchase price, including acquisition costs, was $48.5 million. To fund the acquisition and related costs of incorporating the new brand into our operations, we entered into an unsecured $60 million revolving line of credit. At December 31, 2002 we had $37.8 million outstanding on the line of credit. We believe that this facility will be more than adequate to provide for our current and foreseeable future cash needs. While the sentimental merits of this acquisition make a good story for the Company annals, the more important perspective is what this acquisition will add to our Company's performance. We believe that the Florsheim brand is an excellent complement to our existing Nunn Bush, Nunn Bush NXXT, Brass Boot, Stacy Adams and SAO by Stacy Adams brands. It is a brand that is sold at a different price point and which focuses on different market segments than our other brands. Its existence in our portfolio of products will allow us to significantly increase our share of the men's branded shoe business. We also believe that our Company has the operational facilities and know-how to be able to efficiently source and distribute Florsheim shoes and to serve its customers well. Our ability to leverage our existing systems with limited additional overhead had a significant positive impact on our third and fourth quarter post acquisition performance. In short, we are very pleased to have our name back and we embrace the challenge of guiding the Florsheim brand toward meeting its full potential in the marketplace. Our net sales for 2002 were $181.2 million, up 38% from $131.7 million for 2001. Net earnings for 2002 were $13.2 million, an increase of 39% over net earnings of $9.5 million for 2001. Diluted earnings per share were $3.44, up 40% from $2.46 in 2001. The Florsheim business contributed $37.1 million of wholesale net sales, while wholesale sales of our other brands increased 1%. The additional 23 domestic retail stores and three European stores contributed $11.7 million in sales this year. Overall, we are pleased with the results of our retail segment, where operating earnings were $2.1 million in 2002 as compared with breakeven in 2001, especially during a difficult retail environment this year. To accommodate the current year acquisition, we purchased and improved a new warehouse facility adjacent to our existing distribution center. The total cost was $6.3 million. In late 2002, we began a $9 million construction project to expand and reconfigure the distribution facility to more efficiently handle the increased volumes resulting from the Florsheim acquisition and enable us to continue to meet the ever-changing requirements of our customers. This project will be funded under our available line of credit facility. Our licensing activities continued to develop nicely in 2002. As each year passes, we see the Stacy Adams image develop further clarity in the marketplace as a result of the licensing of the name to apparel products. The Stacy Adams brand name can now be found on socks, belts, hats, ties, suits, sportswear, dress shirts, wallets, and jewelry. Royalty income from licensing the Stacy Adams name has steadily increased over the past four years. To date, most of the royalties have been reinvested into promoting the brand, but we believe the resulting awareness of the brand image is a valuable investment into the brand's future. We entered new licensing arrangements in 2002 as a result of the Florsheim acquisition. These are primarily licensing agreements with third parties to sell Florsheim footwear overseas. We have entered agreements with these parties as they have first-hand knowledge of their local environments and we believe that they are well-suited to sell and promote our footwear in their locales. Most of these licensees had previous arrangements with Florsheim Group and therefore have a proven track record of appropriately marketing the brand overseas. We believe that royalties from these arrangements as well as those from the Stacy Adams brand will be a nice complement to our future top-line and bottom-line growth. As we look toward 2003, we see a year of continued growth in all our brands. We are thrilled by the new opportunities that the Florsheim acquisition brings to our Company. We hope that our shareholders share our enthusiasm and we appreciate your support as we continue to build our future. Thomas W. Florsheim, Jr. John W.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ACQUISITION On May 20, 2002, the Company acquired certain assets of Florsheim Group, Inc.'s domestic wholesale and retail operations. On July 1 and July 27, 2002, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed the operating liabilities of Florsheim Europe S.r.l. and Florsheim France SARL, respectively. The total purchase price was $48.5 million, and the Company entered into a two-year $60 million revolving line of credit to fund the acquisition and related expenses. See Notes 3 and 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the acquisition and borrowings under the line of credit. LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary source of liquidity is its cash and short term marketable securities, which aggregated $9,400,000 at December 31, 2002 and $20,118,000 as of December 31, 2001. During 2002, the primary sources of cash were operations, draws on the line of credit facility, and proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities. The primary uses of cash were the acquisition of the Florsheim business and the purchase of plant and equipment. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities this year primarily reflects the increase in net income for the year, which is largely the result of increased sales volume since the acquisition. Draws were made on the line of credit facility this year to finance the acquisition and to fund the integration of the acquisition into the operations at the corporate office and distribution facility. Capital expenditures included $6.3 million to purchase and improve a new building adjacent to the Company's current distribution facility, $800,000 to expand the current conveyor system in the distribution center, and $500,000 to expand the corporate office. Marketable securities matured throughout the year, and the cash proceeds were used to fund the acquisition. In late 2002 the Company began a $9 million construction project to expand and reconfigure the distribution center to more efficiently handle the increased volumes resulting from the acquisition. The project is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2003, and will be financed by draws on the existing line of credit. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has commitments totaling $7.7 million relating to the construction project. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had $22.2 million available under its existing borrowing facilities. These borrowing facilities include certain financial covenants, including a minimum net worth of $79.9 million at December 31, 2002 and minimum levels of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) levels and a minimum ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. As of December 31, 2002 the Company is in compliance with all covenants. The Company's significant contractual obligations are its operating leases, long-term debt, deferred compensation agreements, and its unfunded supplemental pension plan, which are discussed further in the notes to the financial statements. The long-term debt, deferred compensation and supplemental pension obligations are recorded on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Future obligations under operating leases are disclosed in Note 13. The Company believes that available cash and marketable securities, cash provided by operations, and available borrowing facilities will provide adequate support for the cash needs of the business in 2003. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 2002 vs. 2001 Overall net sales for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $181.2 million have increased 38% compared with $131.7 million for 2001. The increase resulted from increases in both the wholesale and retail segments (See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on operating segments). Wholesale net sales for the current year were $165.3 million, as compared with $126.6 million for 2001. Retail net sales for 2002 were $15.9 million, as compared with $5.1 million in 2001. Net sales for 2002 relating to the new Florsheim wholesale and retail operations were $37.1 million and $11.7 million, respectively. The Nunn Bush division sales were up 7% while the Stacy Adams division sales were down 3%. Excluding the acquisition of the Florsheim wholesale business, sales for Weyco's existing wholesale business were up $1.6 million in 2002. On the retail side, excluding the 2002 Florsheim retail business, retail sales were down $900,000 between 2001 and 2002. This is primarily due to the closing of two retail stores in January 2002. Gross earnings as a percent of net sales increased from 28.5% in 2001 to 32.6% for 2002. This is a result of increased gross earnings as a percent of net sales in the wholesale segment, from 27.6% in 2001 to 29.9% in 2002, as well as in the retail segment, from 52.5% in 2001 to 61.1% in 2002. In both segments, the increases are due to changes in product mix between years. In addition, a part of the increase in overall gross earnings as a percent of net sales is due to changes in the mix of wholesale and retail sales as a percentage of total sales. Retail sales, which carry a higher margin, comprised 8.8% of overall net sales in 2002 versus 3.9% in 2001. Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 18.4% in 2001 versus 20.8% in 2002. This is the result of increased wholesale selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales, from 17.0% in 2001 to 18.2% in 2002, and decreased retail selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales, from 52.3% in 2001 to 48.0% in 2002. The increase in wholesale selling and administrative expenses is due to the ramp up of operations in 2002 to accommodate the Florsheim acquisition. The decrease in retail selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales is due to lower operating costs at the stores that were acquired in the 2002 acquisition. Overall selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased due to these factors and also due to the previously discussed change in the mix of retail and wholesale sales. The retail segment has significantly higher selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales than the wholesale segment. Interest income for 2002 was $853,000 as compared with $1,022,000 for 2001. This decrease was due to reductions in the average balance of marketable securities outstanding between 2001 and 2002. Interest expense for 2002 was $1,289,000 as compared with $296,000 for 2001. The increase is primarily due to borrowings under the line of credit during 2002 to fund the acquisition and related expenses. 2001 other income and expense included a $504,000 gain on the sale of other investments. The effective tax rate for 2002 is 37.2% as compared with 35.4% in 2001. The increase in the rate is primarily due to an increased federal statutory tax rate of 35% this year, as compared with 34% last year. Also, municipal bond income decreased this year relative to pre-tax earnings, resulting in an increase in the effective tax rate. 2001 vs. 2000 Net sales in 2001 were $131,693,000 compared with $148,155,000 in 2000. The 11% decrease in overall net sales is the result of the decrease in wholesale net sales from $141,967,000 in 2000 to $126,597,000 in 2001 and the decrease in retail net sales from $6,188,000 in 2000 to $5,096,000 in 2001. In general, sales volume was down due to the difficult retail environment. Overall gross earnings as a percent of net sales was 28.5% for 2001 as compared to 27.4% for 2000. Wholesale gross earnings as a percent of net sales was 27.6% for 2001 and 26.3% for 2000, while retail gross earnings as a percent of net sales were consistent between years. The improvement in gross earnings as a percent of net sales is primarily the result of inbound freight cost reductions achieved during 2001. Overall selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was 18.4% in 2001 as compared to 16.6% in 2000. This reflects the increase in wholesale selling and administrative expenses as a percent of wholesale net sales from 15.3% in 2000 to 17.0% in 2001 and the increase in retail selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales from 46.1% in 2000 to 52.3% in 2001. The increase is primarily the result of the various fixed costs included in selling and administrative expenses. Interest income was $1,022,000 in 2001 as compared with $1,106,000 in 2000. This was due to a decrease in the average balance of marketable securities outstanding between 2000 and 2001. Interest expense relates to short-term issuances of commercial paper and short-term advances. Interest expense was $296,000 in 2001 and $627,000 in 2000. The decrease in interest expense between years reflects the decrease in the average balance of short-term debt outstanding from $8,273,000 in 2000 to $7,049,000 in 2001, as well as a decrease in short-term borrowing rates from 7.5% in 2000 to 4.2% in 2001. Other income and expense in 2001 includes a $504,000 gain on the sale of other investments. These investments had been carried at cost and included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The provision for income taxes was at an effective rate of 35.4% in 2001 vs. 35.5% in 2000. Net earnings for 2001 were $9,501,000, a decrease of 11% compared to 2000 net earnings of $10,622,000. Included in 2001 net earnings was the $504,000 gain on the sale of other investments. Excluding this gain, 2001 net earnings were $9,175,000, or 7% of 2001 net sales, which is consistent with 2000 net earnings as a percent of net sales of 7%. Overall Analysis The Company continues to purchase finished shoes and components from outside suppliers around the world. The majority of these foreign-sourced purchases are denominated in U. S. dollars. The Company presently operates one shoe manufacturing plant in Wisconsin. Production volume in this factory has declined over the past several years, as the Company is now sourcing more of its shoes overseas. There have been few inflationary pressures in the shoe industry in recent years and leather and other component prices have been stable. It is anticipated that, when necessary, selling price increases could be initiated to offset periodic increases in costs of purchased shoes, components, materials, labor and other expenses. The Company believes that the first half of 2003 will result in strong double digit percentage revenue growth compared to 2002 based on the timing of the May 20, 2002 acquisition of Florsheim. Given the uncertainty in the current market it is difficult to forecast the second half of the year, but the Company believes that mid single digit percentage growth is an appropriate target for the combined wholesale and retail business. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company does not utilize any special purpose entities or other off-balance sheet arrangements. OTHER Critical Accounting Policies The Company's accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements include estimates as to the recovery of accounts receivable, as well as those used in the determination of liabilities related to customer discounts, taxation, and pension benefits. The allowances for sales returns, customer discounts and doubtful accounts are fact-specific and take into account such factors as specific customer situations, historical experience and current and expected economic conditions. Changes in these allowances may be required if actual returns, discounts and bad debt activity varies from the original estimates. The effective income tax rate is based on estimates of taxable income in each jurisdiction where income is earned. The Company also records a liability for potential income tax assessments based on estimates of potential exposure. Adjustments to the effective income tax rate may be required if actual taxable income or actual income tax assessments vary from the original estimates. The pension benefit obligation and pension expense are calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions", and are impacted by certain actuarial assumptions, including the discount rate and the expected rate of return on plan assets. These rates are evaluated on an annual basis considering such factors as market interest rates and historical asset performance. Actuarial valuations at December 31, 2002 used a discount rate of 6.75% and an expected rate of return on plan assets of 8.5%. A .5% decrease in the discount rate would increase annual pension expense by approximately $156,000. A .5% decrease in expected return on plan assets would increase our annual pension expense by approximately $98,000. Future Accounting Pronouncements In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" and requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this statement in 2003 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that the guarantor recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing such guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosure requirements about the guarantor's obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of this interpretation are effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 45 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign exchange and interest rates. To reduce the risk from changes in foreign exchange rates, the Company selectively uses financial instruments. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company does not have significant market risk on its marketable securities as those investments consist of high-grade securities and are held to maturity. Foreign Currency The Company's earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, primarily as a result of purchasing inventory from Italian suppliers and the sale of product to Canadian customers. Forward exchange contracts are used to partially hedge against the earnings effects of such fluctuations. At December 31, 2002, the Company has forward exchange contracts outstanding to purchase 2,000,000 euro at a total price of $1,932,000. Based on December 31, 2002 exchange rates, there are no significant gains or losses on these contracts. All contracts expire in less than one year. Assuming a 10% appreciation in the U. S. dollar at December 31, 2002, there would be a loss on forward exchange contracts of $53,000. Interest Rates The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations on borrowings under its Revolving Line of Credit (the "Line of Credit"). As of December 31, 2002, $27,000,000 of advances on the line of credit were outstanding at an average interest rate of 4.0% and $10,802,000 of commercial paper was outstanding at an average interest rate of 1.7%. Total related interest expense for 2002 was $1,270,000. Assuming a 10% increase in the Company's weighted average interest rate on borrowings, interest expense in 2002 would have increased by $104,000. Forward-Looking Statements This report contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the Company's outlook for the future. These statements represent the Company's reasonable judgment with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These factors could include significant adverse changes in the economic conditions affecting overseas suppliers or the men's footwear markets served by the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Weyco Group, Inc. is a U.S. based manufacturer and distributor of men's branded footwear. The Company's brands include Florsheim, Nunn Bush, Nunn Bush NXXT, Brass Boot, Stacy Adams and SAO by Stacy Adams. The Company's products are primarily sold to unaffiliated retailers throughout the United States. The Company also has a wholesale operation in Europe and has license agreements with third parties to sell its products internationally. In addition, the Company operates 30 retail stores in the United States and 3 in Europe. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Weyco Group, Inc. and all subsidiaries ("The Company"). All significant intercompany items are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition - Revenue from the sale of product is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the customer is obligated to pay the Company. Sales to independent dealers are recorded at the time of shipment to those dealers. Sales through Company-owned retail outlets are recorded at the time of delivery to retail customers. All product sales are recorded net of estimated allowances for returns and discounts. Revenue from third party license agreements is recognized in the period earned. Inventories - Inventories are valued at cost, which is not in excess of market, determined on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis. Inventory costs include material, labor and factory overhead. See Note 6. Plant and Equipment and Depreciation - Plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using primarily the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows: buildings and improvements, 10 to 39 years; machinery and equipment, 5 to 10 years; furniture and fixtures, 5 to 7 years. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Property, plant and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets. There were no adjustments to the carrying value of long-lived assets in fiscal 2002, 2001, 2000. Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences arising from differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. See Note 11. Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of common stock options. Diluted earnings per share includes any dilutive effects of common stock options. See Note 15. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2002, approximately $5.5 million of our cash and cash equivalents were held at two banks. Foreign Currency Translation - Foreign currency balance sheet accounts are translated into United States dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at fiscal year end. Income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The related translation adjustments are made directly to a separate component of Shareholders' Investment. Financial Instruments - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard, as amended, requires that entities recognize derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2001. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. The Company has entered into forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risk arising from firmly committed inventory purchases with outside foreign vendors. At December 31, 2002, the Company has financial contracts outstanding to purchase 2,000,000 euro at a total price of $1,932,000. These contracts all expire in 2003. Based upon year-end exchange rates, there are no significant gains or losses on outstanding contracts. Comprehensive Income - Comprehensive Income includes net income and changes in Other Comprehensive Loss. The Company has chosen to report Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Investment. At December 31, 2002, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss consists of the additional minimum pension liability of $864,311 (net of tax) and Cumulative Translation Adjustment losses of $231,636. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Shipping and Handling Fees - The Company classifies shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues. The corresponding shipping and handling expenses are included in selling and administrative expenses and totaled $1,284,000, $774,000 and $1,014,000 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $6,426,000, $4,961,000 and $4,826,000 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. All advertising expenses are included in selling and administrative expenses with the exception of co-op advertising expenses which are recorded as a reduction of net sales. Co-op advertising expenses reduced net sales by $2,842,000, $1,949,000 and $1,842,000 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation - In December 2002, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of this statement in 2002. At December 31, 2002, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 17. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. New Accounting Pronouncements - In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is no longer allowed. The provisions of SFAS 141 were effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. SFAS 142 addresses the method of accounting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets upon, and subsequent to, the date of acquisition. Among other provisions, SFAS 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and replaces it with periodic assessments of the realization of the recorded goodwill and indefinitely-lived intangibles. SFAS 142 was effective as of January 1, 2002 and for business combinations initiated after July 1, 2001. The adoption of these statements did not impact the Company's results of operations or financial position. The Company's acquisition in 2002 was recorded in accordance with these pronouncements (See Note 3). In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and provides additional implementation guidance for assets to be held and used and assets to be disposed of other than by sale. The statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and amends the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 related to the disposal of a segment of a business. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of this statement on January 1, 2002 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" and requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this statement in 2003 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that the guarantor recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing such guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosure requirements about the guarantor's obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of this interpretation are effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 45 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 3. ACQUISITION On May 20, 2002, the Company acquired from Florsheim Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Florsheim"), certain assets of Florsheim's U.S. wholesale business, including its accounts receivable, trademarks, and other information assets, wholesale inventory (with specified exceptions) and other specified assets, as well as the leaseholds and associated assets for 23 retail and outlet shoe stores. As part of the asset purchase agreement, the Company also agreed to purchase certain assets of Florsheim Europe S.r.l. and Florsheim France SARL, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Florsheim. The acquisition of Florsheim Europe closed on July 1, 2002 for approximately $400,000 plus the assumption of operating liabilities. The acquisition of Florsheim France closed on July 27, 2002, for approximately $10,000 plus the assumption of certain operating liabilities. The domestic and foreign assets acquired and liabilities assumed are collectively referred to as the "Acquired Business." Florsheim had been an international distributor of men's dress and casual footwear. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has acquired a leading brand name in the men's footwear industry with worldwide name recognition. Weyco believes that the brand will complement the Company's current brands, and will enhance the Company's position as a leading distributor of men's casual and dress footwear. The Company also expects to achieve certain economies of scale. The total purchase price of the Acquired Business was $48.5 million, including $1.7 million of acquisition costs. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated on a preliminary basis to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values. The results of operations of the Acquired Business have been included in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements since the respective dates of acquisition. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the respective dates of acquisition (in thousands): Accounts receivable ...... $ 12,156 Inventory ................ 24,865 Other current assets ..... 597 Fixed assets ............. 734 Trademarks ............... 10,822 -------- 49,174 Current liabilities ... (696) -------- $ 48,478 ======== In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the acquired Florsheim trademark of $10.8 million is not being amortized, as it has an indefinite life. The Company completed an impairment test of the acquired trademark as of December 31, 2002, and found that no impairment currently exists. The following table sets forth the unaudited proforma information for the Company as if the acquisition of the Acquired Business had occurred as of the beginning of each year (in thousands, except per share data): 2002 2001 ----------- ----------- Net sales .................... $ 214,399 $ 222,597 Net earnings ................. $ 15,056 $ 8,719 Basic earnings per share ..... $ 4.00 $ 2.27 Diluted earnings per share ... $ 3.93 $ 2.26 4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts of all short-term financial instruments, except marketable securities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. Marketable securities are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of marketable securities is estimated based upon quoted market rates. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value as it bears interest at market rates. 5. INVESTMENTS All of the Company's investments are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost pursuant to SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," as the Company has the intent and ability to hold all security investments to maturity. A summary of the amortized cost and estimated market values of investment securities at December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows: 2002 2001 ------------------------- ------------------------- Amortized Market Amortized Market Cost Value Cost Value ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Municipality bonds: Current ............................... $ 2,099,140 $ 2,119,001 $ 3,266,846 $ 3,297,767 Due from one through five years ....... 7,038,428 7,387,517 7,178,686 7,377,321 Due from five through ten years ....... 823,614 877,078 3,414,410 3,494,159 Due from ten through twenty years ..... 63,581 63,350 59,364 56,224 Due from twenty through thirty years .. 100,504 100,000 101,082 100,000 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total .......................... $10,125,267 $10,546,946 $14,020,388 $14,325,471 =========== =========== =========== =========== The unrealized gains and losses on investment securities at December 31 are: 2002 2001 ------------------------ ----------------------- Unrealized Unrealized Unrealized Unrealized Gains Losses Gains Losses ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Municipality bonds..... $422,621 $942 $309,305 $4,222 6.

LONG TERM DEBT On May 17, 2002, the Company entered into a 2-year $60 million unsecured Revolving Line of Credit (the "Line of Credit") with a group of banks. The Company borrowed under the Line of Credit to fund the acquisition of the Acquired Business and future capital needs. The Line of Credit allows for the issuance of up to $20 million in non-rated commercial paper at market interest rates and additional bank borrowings at an interest rate of LIBOR plus from 150 to 250 basis points. At December 31, 2002, outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit were $37.8 million, consisting of $10.8 million of commercial paper with an average interest rate of 1.69% and $27.0 million of bank borrowings with an average interest rate of 4.01%. The Company also pays a fee of .4375% on the unused portion of the Line of Credit. The Company incurred $374,000 of debt issuance costs related to this new Line of Credit. These costs are included in Other Assets and are being amortized over the term of the Line of Credit. The Line of Credit includes certain financial covenants, including a minimum net worth of $79.9 million at December 31, 2002 and minimum levels of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) levels and a minimum ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. As of December 31, 2002, the Company is in compliance with all covenants. 10. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS The Company has two defined benefit retirement plans covering substantially all employees, as well as an unfunded supplemental pension plan for key executives. Retirement benefits are provided based on employees' years of credited service and average earnings or stated amounts for years of service. Normal retirement age is 65 with provisions for earlier retirement. The plans also have provisions for disability and death benefits. The Company's funding policy for the two defined benefit retirement plans is to make contributions to the plans such that all employees' benefits will be fully provided by the time they retire. Plan assets are stated at market value and consist primarily of U. S. government securities, corporate obligations and corporate equities. The following is a reconciliation of the change in benefit obligation and plan assets for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001: CHANGE IN BENEFIT OBLIGATION 2002 2001 ------------ ------------ Benefit obligation, beginning of year .............. $ 19,123,000 $ 18,059,000 Service cost ....................................... 498,000 393,000 Interest cost ...................................... 1,339,000 1,310,000 Actuarial loss ..................................... 2,614,000 602,000 Benefits paid ......................................

SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company determines its operating segments based on the information utilized by the Chief Executive Officer to allocate resources and assess performance. Based upon this criteria, the Company has determined that it operates in two business segments: wholesale distribution and retail sales of men's footwear. Wholesale shoes are marketed nationwide through more than 10,000 shoe, clothing and department stores. All sales are to unaffiliated customers in North America. There were no customers that accounted for 10% or more of total sales in 2002. In 2001 and 2000, sales to the Company's largest customer were 10% of total sales. In addition, at December 31, 2001, another customer's accounts receivable balance was 11% of the Company's total outstanding accounts receivable. There are no other individually significant customers. In the retail division, the Company currently operates 30 company-owned stores in principal cities in the United States, as well as three stores in Europe. Twenty-three of the domestic retail stores, as well as the three in Europe, were acquired in 2002 as part of the Florsheim acquisition. Sales in retail outlets are made directly to the consumer by Company employees. In addition to the sale of the Company's brands of footwear in these retail outlets, other branded footwear and accessories are also sold in order to provide the consumer with as complete a selection as practically possible. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company evaluates performance based on earnings from operations before income taxes. Summarized segment data for 2002, 2001 and 2000 are as follows: Wholesale Distribution Retail Total ------------ ------ ----- 2002 Net sales $165,315,000 $15,885,000 $181,200,000 Depreciation 1,619,000 486,000 2,105,000 Earnings from operations 19,334,000 2,072,000 21,406,000 Total assets 139,951,000 6,284,000 146,235,000 Capital expenditures 8,113,000 82,000 8,195,000 2001 Net sales $126,597,000 $5,096,000 $131,693,000 Depreciation 1,451,000 158,000 1,609,000 Earnings from operations 13,344,000 10,000 13,354,000 Total assets 96,139,000 1,815,000 97,954,000 Capital expenditures 317,000 427,000 744,000 2000 Net sales $141,967,000 $6,188,000 $148,155,000 Depreciation 1,370,000 120,000 1,490,000 Earnings from operations 15,646,000 326,000 15,972,000 Total assets 90,122,000 1,821,000 91,943,000 Capital expenditures 920,000 284,000 1,204,000 All corporate assets are included in the wholesale distribution segment. Net sales above exclude intersegment sales, which are not material. 17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has two stock option plans: the 1996 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan and the 1997 Stock Option Plan. Under the plans, options to purchase common stock are granted to officers and key employees at prices not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. All options are fully vested six months after the date of grant, and most expire ten years from the grant date, with the exception of certain incentive stock options, which expire five years from the grant date. No stock-based employee compensation expense has been reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", as amended by SFAS No. 148, to stock-based employee compensation. 2002 2001 2000 -------------- ------------- -------------- Net earnings, as reported .................... $ 13,187,918 $ 9,501,242 $ 10,622,333 Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects ... 721,857 418,352 439,637 -------------- ------------- -------------- Pro forma net income ......................... $ 12,466,061 $ 9,082,890 $ 10,182,696 ============== ============= ============== Earnings per share Basic - as reported ........................ $ 3.51 $ 2.48 $ 2.61 Basic - pro forma .......................... 3.32 $ 2.37 $ 2.50 Diluted - as reported ...................... $ 3.44 $ 2.46 $ 2.59 Diluted - pro forma ........................ 3.25 $ 2.35 $ 2.48 The following table summarizes the stock option activity under the Company's plans for the years ended December 31: 2002 2001 2000 --------------------- -------------------- --------------------- Wtd.
