Note 5 - Nonrecurring Charges As of the year ended January 31, 1995, the Company had a remaining reserve of approximately $3.4 million related to a cost reduction program.

Note 6 - Unusual Charge During the quarter ended October 31, 1994 the Company recorded an unusual charge for inventory markdowns of $5.7 million in the recognition of the high levels of inventory on hand caused by an unusually warm fall season and the resulting lack of customer reorders. -7- Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations Net sales and revenues for the three months ended October 31, 1995 were $57.7 million compared to $73.6 million for the same period last year. For the nine months ended October 31, 1995, net sales and revenues were $103.0 million compared to $141.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net sales during the three month period ended October 31, 1995 was due to continued weakness in the retail business environment, as well as warmer than usual weather patterns, both of which adversely affected sales of leather outerwear. The Company expects that the weak retail environment will continue to adversely affect sales in the quarter ending January 31, 1996. For the nine month period ended October 31, 1995, approximately $26.7 million of the decrease in net sales and revenues was the result of lower sales at the retail level. The balance of the decrease (approximately $12.2 million) is attributable to the recognition by the Company of only commission income on certain types of sales where the Company's customers provide letters of credit which are transferred by the Company directly to overseas manufacturers or where the Company's customer provided a letter of credit directly to overseas manufacturers. Prior to the quarter ended July 31, 1994, the customer provided a letter of credit to the Company and the Company opened a letter of credit to the manufacturer. Accounting rules require the Company to recognize only commission income with respect to transactions where the Company does not open a letter of credit. The Company expects that it will continue to utilize this type transaction which results in the Company reporting lower net sales and revenues. For the nine months ended October 31, 1995 and 1994 the Company recognized $8.6 million and $ 6.9 million of commission income, respectively. If the Company had recognized the full amount of sales from this type of transaction, net sales and revenues would have been $151.0 million and $177.7 million, respectively. Gross profit was $12.5 million for the three months ended October 31, 1995, compared to $13.1 million in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales and revenues was 21.7% for the three months ended October 31, 1995, compared to 17.7% for the same period last year. For the nine month period ended October 31, 1995, gross profit was $22.8 million , or 22.1% of net sales and revenues, compared to $23.2 million or 16.3% of net sales and revenues for the same period last year. While the change in the use of certain letters of credit to transact sales did not impact gross profit dollars, it did affect gross profit as a percentage of net sales and revenues since net sales and revenues recognized from such transactions were lower. Had the Company recognized the full amount of such sales, gross profit for the nine months ended October 31, 1995 would have been 15.1% and 13.0%, respectively, of net sales and revenues. The increase in the gross profit percentage was a result of improved margins in a majority of product lines as well as cost reductions resulting from closure of the Company's domestic manufacturing facilities. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $6.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 1995 were approximately $912,000 less than in the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales and revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 10.5% in this period compared to 9.5% last year. For the nine month period, selling, general and administrative expenses were $16.9 million or 16.4% of net sales and revenues, compared to $19.7 million, or 13.8% of net sales and revenues for the same period last year. The increase as a percentage of net sales and revenues was the result of lower reported net sales and revenues as described above. The lower selling, general and administrative expenses were the result of the implementation of a cost reduction program which began in the second half of the prior fiscal year. The Company is continuing to monitor and reduce expense levels and expects selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to decrease for the remainder of the year, compared to last year, as a result of this program. -8- Interest expense of $853,000 was $367,000 lower in the quarter ended October 31, 1995, compared to interest expense in the same period last year. For the nine months ended October 31, 1995, interest expense was $2.3 million, a decrease of $520,000 from the prior year. The decrease is attributable to lower borrowing levels as a result of the Company maintaining lower levels of inventory, which more than offset higher interest rates and other financing costs. Income taxes of $2.2 million reflects an effective tax rate of 40.0% for the three months ended October 31, 1995, compared to an income tax benefit of $363,000 which reflected an effective tax rate of 44.5% in the comparable period in the prior year. For the nine months ended October 31, 1995, income taxes of $1.6 million reflects an effective tax rate of 44.3%, compared to an income tax benefit of $2.2 million in the same period last year, which reflected an effective tax rate of 44.6 %. The decreased effective tax rate for the nine months results from a lower provision for current year income taxes (40%), resulting from the state and local tax loss carry forward from the prior year, offset in part by additional federal taxes of $157,000 due to the settlement of an income tax audit for certain prior periods through January 31, 1993. As a result of the foregoing, for the three month period ended October 31, 1995, the Company had net income of $3.4 million, or $.50 per share, compared to a net loss of $452,000, or $.07 per share, for the comparable period in the prior year. For the nine month period ended October 31, 1995, the Company had net income of $2.0 million, or $.31 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million, or $.42 per share, for the same period in the prior year. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has a loan agreement, which expires May 31, 1996, providing for a collateralized working capital line of credit for a maximum amount of $48 million through January 30, 1996 (reduced to $40 million commencing January 31, 1996), of which a maximum of $40 million (reduced to $32 million commencing January 31, 1996) is available for direct borrowings and the unused balance for letters of credit. All amounts available for borrowings are subject to borrowing base formulas and overadvances specified in the agreement. Direct borrowings bear interest at the agent's prime rate (8.75% as of December 1, 1995) plus 2%. All borrowings are collateralized by the assets of the Company. The loan agreement requires the Company, among other covenants, to maintain certain earnings and tangible net worth levels, and prohibits the payments of cash dividends. As of October 31, 1995, there was $13.7 million of borrowings outstanding and approximately $ 8.2 million of contingent liability under open letters of credit. The amount borrowed under the line of credit varies based on the Company's seasonal requirements. The current loan agreement reduced the maximum credit line available to the Company compared to the prior year. The Company is carrying lower levels of inventory in the current fiscal year compared to the prior year and, as a result, believes that this facility will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs. Inventories as of October 31, 1995 were $20.5 million compared to $38.9 million as of October 31, 1994. The Company's wholly-owned Indonesian subsidiary has a line of credit with a bank for approximately $3.5 million which is supported by a $2.0 million stand-by letter of credit issued under the Company's loan agreement. As of October 31, 1995, the borrowing by the Indonesian subsidiary under its line of credit approximated $2.4 million. -9- SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
