NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED) 1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Gargoyles, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Gargoyles" or the "Company") are unaudited and include, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position at June 30, 1999 and the related consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 2, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company's net sales are subject to seasonal variations. Accordingly, the results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. 2. INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following: June 30, December 31, 1999 1998 ------------ ------------ Materials $ 3,655,747 $ 4,204,151 Finished goods 3,799,391 4,934,896 Reserves for excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventories (664,199) (580,771) ------------ ------------ Inventories, net $ 6,790,939 $ 8,558,276 ============ ============ 3. INCOME TAXES The Company recorded no income tax benefit relating to the net loss for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 since a future benefit was not assured. In 1999 the Company utilized its net operating losses to eliminate any provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999. 4. REFINANCING On June 1, 1999, Gargoyles completed a transaction with its lender, U.S. Bank National Association, for the restructure of its credit facility with the bank and a recapitalization of the company. As a result of the refinancing, the Company's indebtedness to U.S. Bank was decreased by $10 million, and the balance of the loans were restructured into $19.5 million of term loans with maturity dates of June 1, 2005, and a commitment for a $9 million revolving loan. No principal payments are due under $3 million of the term loans until their maturity date; principal payments under $7.5 million of the term loans are based on a percentage of excess cash as defined in the credit agreement; and annual principal payments under the remaining $9.5 million term loan are scheduled as follows: 1999 $ 100,000 2000 900,000 2001 1,500,000 2002 2,000,000 2003 2,000,000 2004 2,000,000 2005 2,000,000 ------------ $ 9,500,000 ============ Substantially all the assets of the Company are pledged as collateral for the repayment of borrowings under the credit agreement. The credit agreement also prohibits the Company from paying dividends to its common shareholders. In exchange for $10 million of debt, the Company issued 10 million shares of Gargoyles, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock to U.S. Bank. The bank's Series A Preferred Stock is immediately convertible into 31,600,342 shares of Gargoyles, Inc. Common Stock, or 79% of the authorized capital of the Company on a fully- diluted basis. U.S. Bank's affiliate, U.S. Bankcorp, currently owns 400,000 shares of Gargoyles, Inc. common stock, or 1% of the authorized capital of the Company, giving U.S. Bank and its affiliate beneficial ownership, in the aggregate, of 80% of the authorized capital of Gargoyles on a fully-diluted basis. The Series A Preferred Stock annually accrues a cumulative dividend equal to the U.S. Bank reference rate plus 75 basis points. After the refinancing and as of June 30, 1999, the Company had unused sources of liquidity of $6.5 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $378,000 and borrowings available under its revolving loan of $6.1 million. 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on net income less dividend requirements divided by weighted average common shares. The weighted- average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is 7,822,191 and 7,837,191, and 7,822,191 and 7,806,079, respectively. The calculation of diluted income per common share assumes the dilutive issuance of convertible Series A Preferred Stock resulting in an increase in weighted average common shares and an adjustment in income available for common shareholders due to reduced dividend requirements. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, stock options have not been included as their effect would be antidilutive. The weighted-average number of common shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is 18,355,638 and 7,837,191, and 13,088,915 and 7,806,079, respectively. 6. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. 7. LITIGATION On November 18, December 4 and December 9, 1998, following a periodic state tax audit, the State of Washington Department of Revenue assessed the Company, in the aggregate, $475,830 plus interest in business and occupation taxes and use taxes allegedly due and payable related to the Company's operations during various periods between January 1, 1993 and June 30, 1997. At issue in this matter is the Company's status as a "manufacturer" or "wholesaler" as such terms are defined by the state of Washington's business and occupation and use tax statutes and the percentage of business the Company does in the state of Washington. The Company has retained counsel in this matter and intends to appeal and to vigorously defend the Department's assessment. On May 11, 1998, Morris Rosenbloom & Co., Inc., filed an action against the company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for Wayne County, under Index No. 44010. In the lawsuit, plaintiff alleges breach of contract due to the Company's failure to accept a return of sunglasses under the terms of a Repurchase Agreement between Morris Rosenbloom and the Company. Plaintiff claims damages from the Company in excess of $500,000. The Company has retained counsel to represent it in this matter and intends to defend vigorously the plaintiff's claims. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position. ITEM 2.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Historically, the Company has relied primarily on cash from operations, borrowings and its initial public offering of common stock to finance its operations. Cash used in the Company's operating activities totaled $3.1 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company's cash used in operating activities increased in the first six months of 1999 by $223,000 compared to the same period in 1998 due primarily to (i) an increase in the early season buildup of accounts receivable by $3.1 million, (ii) a decrease in net inventories by $1.6 million in the first six months of 1999 compared to a $1.7 million decrease in inventories in the same period of 1998 and (iii) net payments to vendors on accounts payable and other payments in 1999 of $3.8 million compared to $1 million in the comparable 1998 period. Cash used in the Company's investing activities, to fund acquisitions of property and equipment, totaled $68,000 and $70,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash provided by the Company's financing activities, primarily proceeds from bank debt, totaled $3.4 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had unused sources of liquidity of $6.5 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $378,000 and borrowings available under its revolving loan of $6.1 million. On June 1, 1999, Gargoyles completed a transaction with its lender, U.S. Bank National Association, for the restructure of its credit facility with the bank and a recapitalization of the company. As a result of the refinancing, the company's indebtedness to U.S. Bank was decreased by $10 million, and the balance of the loans were restructured into $19.5 million of term loans with maturity dates of June 1, 2005, and a commitment for a $9 million revolving loan. No principal payments are due under $3 million of the term loans until their maturity date; principal payments under $7.5 million of the term loans are based on a percentage of excess cash as defined in the credit agreement; and annual principal payments under the remaining $9.5 million term loan are $100,000, $900,000 and $1.5 million in years one, two and three of the loan and are $2 million per year for the balance of the loan term. Substantially all the assets of the Company are pledged as collateral for the repayment of borrowings under the credit agreement. The credit agreement also prohibits the Company from paying dividends to its common shareholders. In exchange for $10 million of debt, the Company issued 10 million shares of Gargoyles, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock to U.S. Bank. The bank's Series A Preferred Stock is immediately convertible into 31,600,342 shares of Gargoyles, Inc. Common Stock, or 79% of the authorized capital of the Company on a fully- diluted basis. U.S. Bank's affiliate, U.S. Bankcorp, currently owns 400,000 shares of Gargoyles, Inc. common stock, or 1% of the authorized capital of the Company, giving U.S. Bank and its affiliate beneficial ownership, in the aggregate, of 80% of the authorized capital of Gargoyles on a fully-diluted basis. The Series A Preferred Stock annually accrues a cumulative dividend equal to the U.S. Bank reference rate plus 75 basis points. SEASONALITY The Company's net sales generally have been higher in the period from March to September, the period during which sunglass purchases are highest. As a result, operating income is typically lower in the first and fourth quarters as fixed operating costs are spread over lower sales volume. See "Forward- Looking Statements." The Company experiences higher accounts receivable during March through September as a result of higher sales during this period. The Company's quarterly results of operations have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including seasonal cycles, the timing of new product introductions, the timing of orders by the Company's customers, the mix of product sales and the effects of weather conditions on consumer purchases. THE YEAR 2000 As the Year 2000 approaches, there are uncertainties concerning whether computer systems and electronic equipment with date functions will properly recognize date-sensitive information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or fail. Due to the Company's reliance on its management information systems, failure of these systems for any reasons, including Year 2000 noncompliance, could affect the Company's operations. Management believes, however, that the Year 2000 does not pose a significant operational problem for the Company. The Company has established a Year 2000 contingency plan which is being addressed by a team of internal staff and outside consultants. The team's activities are designed to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the Company's core business operations and that transactions with customers, suppliers, and financial institutions are fully supported. The Company is well under way with these efforts, which are scheduled to be completed by September 1, 1999. The Company has completed its assessment of its systems in its Kent, Washington facilities and in its Farmingdale, New York facility. The Company has initiated and has substantially completed discussions with its key vendors and customers to assess whether those parties have appropriate plans to remediate Year 2000 issues where their systems interface with the Company's systems or otherwise impact its operations. Management believes that the Company bears little exposure to risk of Year 2000 non-compliance by third parties. The Company has determined that it will need to modify or replace certain portions of its computer hardware and software and of its telephone and voice- mail hardware and software so that its computer, telephone and communications systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and beyond. The Company has completed the upgrade of its enterprise-wide information system, time clocks, electronic mail, voice mail and telephone systems, at a cost of less than $60,000. Work continues on upgrades of its personal computer software systems and upgrades to its electronic data entry systems. The Company estimates the total cost of its system upgrades required for Year 2000 compliance will not exceed $100,000. In view of the subtlety of the problem and the unfamiliarity with the scope of the problems by many in the business community, there can be no assurance that the Company, or its critical vendors or customers, will not encounter some form of computer or service failures at or after midnight on December 31, 1999 which could result in disruption of the Company's business, perhaps materially so, to the Company's detriment. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On November 18, December 4 and December 9, 1998, following a periodic state tax audit, the State of Washington Department of Revenue assessed the Company, in the aggregate, $475,830 plus interest in business and occupation taxes and use taxes allegedly due and payable related to the Company's operations during various periods between January 1, 1993 and June 30, 1997. At issue in this matter is the Company's status as a "manufacturer" or "wholesaler" as such terms are defined by the state of Washington's business and occupation and use tax statutes and the percentage of business the Company does in the state of Washington. The Company has retained counsel in this matter and intends to appeal and to vigorously defend the Department's assessment. On May 11, 1998, Morris Rosenbloom & Co., Inc, filed an action against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for Wayne County, under Index No. 44010. In the lawsuit, plaintiff alleges breach of contract due to the Company's failure to accept a return of sunglasses under the terms of a Repurchase Agreement between Morris Rosenbloom and the Company. Plaintiff claims damages from the Company in excess of $500,000. The Company has retained counsel to represent it in this matter and intends to defend vigorously the plaintiff's claims. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position. Since June 1999, the Company has settled all suits filed or claims made by the Company's creditors related to past due amounts which arose in the ordinary course of the Company's business. Except for the two matters discussed above, there are currently no collection suits pending against the Company that have not be paid or settled. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES On June 1, 1999, Gargoyles completed a transaction with its lender, U.S. Bank National Association, for the restructure of its credit facility with the bank and a recapitalization of the Company. In exchange for $10 million of debt, the Company issued 10 million shares of Gargoyles, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock to U.S. Bank. The bank's Series A Preferred Stock is immediately convertible into 31,600,342 shares of Gargoyles, Inc. Common Stock, or 79% of the authorized capital of the Company on a fully-diluted basis. U.S. Bank's affiliate, U.S. Bankcorp, currently owns 400,000 shares of Gargoyles, Inc. common stock, or 1% of the authorized capital of the Company, giving U.S. Bank and its affiliate beneficial ownership, in the aggregate, of 80% of the authorized capital of Gargoyles on a fully-diluted basis. The Series A Preferred Stock annually accrues a cumulative dividend equal to the U.S. Bank reference rate plus 75 basis points. The Series A Preferred Stock was issued by Gargoyles to U.S. Bank in a transaction not involving a public offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. ITEM 4.
