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, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full
year.
(2) The following table sets forth the computation of net earnings per share
and diluted net earnings per share:

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2004
exclude outstanding options to purchase 5,412 shares of common stock at a
price of $36.94 because they are antidilutive. Diluted weighted average
shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2003 include all outstanding
options, as none are antidilutive.

(5) The Company has stock option plans under which 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. The
Company accounts for such stock option grants under the provisions of APB
Opinion #25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." 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 quarterly net 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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
The Company is a distributor of men's casual, dress and fashion shoes under the
Florsheim, Nunn Bush, Nunn Bush NXXT, Brass Boot, Stacy Adams and SAO by Stacy
Adams brand names. Inventory is purchased from third party overseas
manufacturers. The majority of foreign-sourced purchases are denominated in U.S.
dollars. The Company's products are sold to shoe specialty stores, department
stores and clothing retailers primarily in North America, with some distribution
in Europe. The Company also has a retail division, which consists of 30
Company-owned retail stores in the United States and three in Europe. Sales in
retail outlets are made directly to consumers by Company employees. The Company
also has licensing agreements with third parties who sell its branded shoes
overseas, as well as licensing agreements with apparel and accessory
manufacturers in the United States. As such, the Company's results are primarily
impacted by the economic conditions and the retail environment in the United
States.
Overall, net earnings increased from $4,671,000, or $.80 per diluted share for
the first quarter of 2003, to $5,153,000, or $.88 per diluted share for the
first quarter of 2004. For the first quarter of 2004, the Company had increases
in both its wholesale and retail operations. These increases along with a 1%
increase in overall gross margins resulted in the increase in earnings for the
quarter. A more detailed analysis of operating results follows.
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary source of liquidity is its cash and short-term marketable
securities, which aggregated approximately $11,640,000 at March 31, 2004 as
compared with $13,298,000 at December 31, 2003. In the first quarter of 2004,
the primary source of cash was operations, while the primary use of cash was the
repayment of long term debt.
-6-
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 2004 was down
$1.6 million compared with the same period in 2003. The increase in net earnings
of $.5 million, offset by a $1.5 million deferred compensation payment (which is
included in accrued liabilities and other) were the principal items affecting
the change in cash provided by operations. The changes in inventory and accounts
payable are due to timing, and together had no impact on the decrease in
operating cash flows.
The increase in net cash used for investing activities is primarily due to an
increase in marketable securities during the first quarter of 2004, as compared
with a decrease during the same period of 2003. This is due to differences in
the timing of investments and maturities between periods. Also, in the first
quarter of 2003, $600,000 of the $1 million of capital expenditures was related
to the 2003 expansion and reconfiguration of the Company's distribution center.
The lower capital spending in 2004 represents a more normal level of quarterly
expenditures.
Cash flows from financing activities decreased due to first quarter 2004
repayments of borrowings. As of March 31, 2004, the Company had a total of $50
million available under its existing borrowing facility, of which total
borrowings were $25.0 million. This facility includes certain financial
covenants, including minimum net worth levels, minimum levels of Earnings Before
Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and a minimum ratio of
funded debt to EBITDA. As of March 31, 2004 the Company was in compliance with
all covenants.
The Company intends to use its 2004 operating cash flows primarily to reduce
outstanding borrowings and pay dividends.
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 2004.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overall net sales increased 2.3%, from $60,380,000 for the first quarter of 2003
to $61,743,000 for the first quarter of 2004. The increase resulted from
increases in both the wholesale and retail divisions. Wholesale net sales for
the current quarter were $54.5 million versus $53.9 million in the first quarter
last year. This increase resulted from increases of 9% and 1% in the Stacy Adams
and Nunn Bush divisions, respectively, while Florsheim division sales were down
11% for the quarter. The increase in the Stacy Adams division was due to a 16%
increase in the Company's dress shoe business. The decrease in the Florsheim
division sales was due to the Company discontinuing distribution to several
retailers whose image and environment was not appropriate for the Florsheim
brand. The Company also sold less closeout product in 2004. While sales of
Florsheim product were down, the Company still expects to show an increase in
Florsheim sales for 2004. Retail net sales were $6.5 million this year, compared
with $5.7 million last year. Same store sales increased 13% in the first quarter
of 2004. Also included in overall net sales are licensing revenues of $752,000
in the first quarter of 2004 as compared with $757,000 in the same period of
2003.
-7-
Gross earnings as a percent of net sales increased from 33.4% for the first
quarter of 2003 to 34.4% for the first quarter of 2004. This is the result of
increased gross earnings as a percent of net sales in the wholesale division,
which increased from 30.4% in 2003 to 31.2% in 2004. Retail gross margins were
flat. The increase in wholesale gross margins resulted from an increase in
margins at the Company's Florsheim division. This increase resulted from a
reduction of closeout sales. However, the gross margin dollars generated from
the increase in gross margin percentages offset the loss in gross margins
dollars resulting from the decrease in volume for the Florsheim division.
Margins at the Company's Stacy Adams and Nunn Bush divisions were flat.
Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 20.6% for the
first quarter of 2003 versus 20.7% in 2004. Wholesale selling and administrative
expenses as a percent of net sales were 17.4% in 2003 and 17.5% in 2004, and
retail selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 51.6%
in 2003 and 48.2% in 2004. The decrease in retail selling and administrative
expenses as a percent of net sales is primarily due to the fixed component,
principally rent and occupancy costs, of selling and administrative expenses
relative to net sales.
Interest income for the first quarter of 2004 was $121,000 as compared with
$150,000 for the same period in 2003. This decrease was due to reductions in the
average balance of cash and marketable securities outstanding between 2003 and
2004.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2004 was $167,000 as compared with
$352,000 for the first quarter of 2003. The decrease is primarily due to a
reduction in the average balance of borrowings.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2004 is 38.7% as compared with
38.2% in 2003. This slight increase is due to decreased municipal bond income
this year relative to pre-tax earnings, which results in an increase in the
effective tax rate.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Changes in Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of
Equity Securities

repurchase any shares under the program during the quarter ended March 31,
