NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1

 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation – Our fiscal year 2006 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sport-Haley, Inc. (“Sport-Haley”) and Reserve Apparel Group LLC (“Reserve Apparel”) (Sport-Haley, Inc. and Reserve Apparel Group LLC collectively referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”). Reserve Apparel was formed in November 2005 by Sport-Haley and Explorer Gear USA, Inc. (“Explorer Gear”) to manufacture and market Top-Flite™ branded apparel. A licensing agreement between Callaway Golf Company and Sport-Haley allows Reserve Apparel to market golf apparel bearing the Top-Flite™ brand. In accordance with the LLC operating agreement, as of March 2006, Sport-Haley owns a 51% interest in Reserve Apparel and Explorer Gear owns a 49% interest. At March 31, 2006, Sport-Haley had contributed equity capital of $25,000 and advanced loans of $897,000 to Reserve Apparel including accrued interest of $2,000, and Explorer Gear had contributed equity capital of $0 and advanced loans of $256,000 to Reserve Apparel. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions between Sport-Haley and Reserve Apparel have been eliminated. Because Explorer Gear had contributed no equity capital to Reserve Apparel as of March 31, 2006, our condensed consolidated financial statements include the entire loss of Reserve Apparel for the three months ended March 31, 2006, in accordance with ARB No. 51. Had Explorer Gear contributed sufficient equity capital to offset its proportionate share of the Reserve Apparel loss, $73,000 would have been allocated to Explorer Gear as its proportionate share of the loss for the three-month period, and the consolidated loss reported by Sport-Haley would have been $73,000 less for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006.

 

In April 2006, Explorer Gear’s equity capital account within Reserve Apparel was credited upon the receipt of their cash contribution of $25,000. In May 2006, a majority of the members of the Management Committee of Reserve Apparel approved the reclassification to equity capital of certain amounts previously classified as member loans. The reclassification increased the equity capital of Sport-Haley, Inc and reduced amounts classified as its member loans to Reserve Apparel by $79,000. The reclassification also increased the equity capital of Explorer Gear and reduced amounts previously classified as its member loans to Reserve Apparel by $75,000, which brought their contributed capital balance to $100,000, in proportion with their respective 49% interest.

 

Condensed Financial Statements – The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary for their fair presentation. 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, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our revenues are seasonal and, therefore, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

 

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements has been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and

Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2005, included in the Company’s filing on Form 10-K.

 

Reclassification – Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the year 2006 presentation. Such reclassifications had no affect on net income(loss) in any of the periods presented.

 

Stock-Based Compensation - Our Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) expired by its terms on February 28, 2003. Option agreements that were issued in accordance with the Plan prior to February 28, 2003, generally remain in force until the earlier of their exercise, the expiration of certain time periods after the termination of a grantee’s employment (or other relationship with the Company) or expiration by their terms.

 

At March 31, 2006, there were outstanding options to purchase 678,500 shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.71 to $9.78 per share and expiration dates between July 2006 and January 2013. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, no options were exercised and no options expired.

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS 123R is effective for annual periods beginning after July 1, 2005, supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based upon their fair values and rescinds the acceptance of pro forma disclosure. SFAS 123R permits two methods of adoption, a “modified prospective” method and a “modified retrospective” method. Under the modified prospective method, stock-based compensation cost is recognized, beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and for all awards granted prior to the effective date that remain unvested on the effective date. The modified retrospective method includes the requirements of the modified prospective method and also permits restatement of prior periods based on amounts previously reported in pro forma disclosures pursuant to SFAS 123 for either all periods presented or for only prior interim periods of the year of adoption. We adopted the modified prospective method prescribed in SFAS 123R, effective July 1, 2005.

 

Previously, we accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations and elected to apply the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense for stock options was recognized over the vesting period of the grant based on the excess, if any, of the market price of our common stock at the date of grant over the stock option exercise price. As governed by the Plan, stock options were generally granted at or near fair market value on the date of grant.

If we had previously accounted for stock-based compensation in interim periods using the fair value method rather than the intrinsic value method, the pro forma amounts of our net loss and loss per common share would have been reported as follows:

LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

We maintain a revolving line of credit agreement with a commercial bank. The revolving line of credit agreement, renewed by amendment through December 5, 2006, provides for a maximum loan amount of $5,000,000, collateralized by a lien on substantially all of our assets, and for interest at the bank’s prime rate. In accordance with the amendment agreement, we must maintain minimum tangible net worth of $14,000,000 and liquidity of $4,000,000. We generally maintain the line of credit to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit for inventory purchases from offshore suppliers and, if necessary, to fund any temporary working capital needs. We did not have any balances due on the line of credit at March 31, 2006, or June 30, 2005, respectively.

 

NOTE 4

 

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

At March 31, 2006, we had $445,000 in outstanding letters of credit that were issued to foreign suppliers in accordance with finished goods inventory purchase commitments. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the amount available for borrowing under the line of credit agreement.

 

NOTE 5

 

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Effective with the year ended June 30, 1998, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (“SFAS No. 128”), Earnings per Share. SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings(loss) per common share. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted earnings(loss) per common share:

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

 

In May 2006, an executive from Explorer Gear informed the management of Reserve Apparel that an amount previously purported by Explorer Gear to have been paid on behalf of Reserve Apparel had not been paid. The amount in question related to finished goods inventories which were purchased through a Canadian apparel broker, received by Reserve Apparel and shipped to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. in March 2006. While we have not been able to ascertain with certainty that the broker has not been paid for this inventory purchase, we reclassified the amount from a long-term loan payable to Explorer Gear to a current liability of Reserve Apparel. At March 31, 2006, we reduced Explorer Gear’s loan balance with respect to Reserve Apparel and increased Reserve Apparel’s trade accounts payable by $236,000. The Canadian apparel broker also informed Reserve Apparel that the broker had applied a $291,000 prepayment from Reserve Apparel to satisfy a debt of Explorer Headgear, Inc. (a Canadian Company related to Explorer Gear by common ownership)

 

11



 

instead of applying the amount as a deposit toward finished goods inventories which were planned to be provided to Reserve Apparel by the broker. At March 31, 2006, the $291,000 amount was classified as an inventory deposit on the books of Reserve Apparel. We believe that the Canadian broker inappropriately misapplied these funds, and we have demanded that the funds be applied toward their intended purpose as a deposit for the future purchase of finished goods inventories. Reserve Apparel expects to fully recover the $291,000 deposit.

OVERVIEW
 
Sport-Haley, Inc. designs, purchases, contracts for the manufacture of, markets and distributes quality women’s and men’s fashion golf apparel and outerwear under the SPORT HALEY™ and Ben Hogan® labels. Our fashion golf apparel collections, known for their innovative designs, quality fabrics, generous fits and classic styles, are primarily marketed in the premium and mid-priced markets through a network of independent wholesale sales representatives and distributors to golf professional shops, country clubs, resorts and exclusive department stores within the United States and by certain distributors within international markets. Sport-Haley distributes Ben Hogan® apparel pursuant to a licensing agreement with Callaway Golf Company (“Callaway”).
 

Sport-Haley is represented by a network of independent wholesale sales representatives and employ two regional sales managers, with responsibilities including supervising the sales representatives in the

 

13



 

eastern and western regions of the United States, respectively. Most of the independent wholesale sales representatives solicit sales of both SPORT HALEY™ and Ben Hogan® apparel on our behalf.

 

Sport-Haley continues to focus on stabilizing revenues associated with our SPORT HALEY™ women’s fashion apparel and growth of revenues associated with our Ben Hogan® men’s fashion apparel. We previously discontinued marketing SPORT HALEY™ men’s fashion apparel, in part, because we believe that there are natural synergies common to Ben Hogan® men’s fashion apparel and SPORT HALEY™ women’s fashion apparel. By marketing SPORT HALEY™ women’s apparel in conjunction with Ben Hogan® men’s apparel, we are attempting to maintain our market share with current women’s apparel customers and expect to expand the distribution channels for fashion women’s apparel into markets that we had previously only been able to penetrate via the marketing of Ben Hogan® men’s apparel.

 

In November 2005, we previously announced that Top-Flite™ apparel will be distributed in the United States in accordance with a vendor agreement with Wal-Mart Stores through Reserve Apparel Group LLC, a joint venture between Sport-Haley, Inc. and Explorer Gear. Top-Flite™ apparel is distributed pursuant to a licensing agreement between Callaway and Sport-Haley. The first sales of Top-Flite™ apparel to Wal-Mart Stores were made in March 2006.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures. A summary of those significant accounting policies can be found in the Footnotes to the Financial Statements included in our Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The estimates used by management are based upon our historical experiences combined with management’s understanding of current facts and circumstances. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical as they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and the results of our operations and require significant or complex judgments on the part of management. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, predominately comprised of finished goods, are generally valued at the lower of cost (weighted average) or market. Costs include amounts paid to suppliers for packaged apparel and/or materials and labor, import costs, such as customs duties, freight-in and other miscellaneous costs, and allocated overhead. After we implemented our operations software in January 2004, we discovered certain programming and human errors within the new system that adversely affected the software’s ability to accurately compute the valuation of our finished goods inventories using a weighted average method. In prior periods we considered the programming and human errors, which caused us to use a standard cost method in the prior periods, to be a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to inventory valuation. This weakness in our controls prevented us from relying upon the system-recorded transactions with respect to inventory valuations during fiscal 2005. During the 2005 fiscal year, we concluded with reasonable assurance that recomputing the value of our finished goods inventories using a standard cost method yielded a fair estimation of the value of our finished goods inventories. We used the standard cost method to value our finished goods inventories from the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004, through the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005. Had we

 

14



 

been able to rely upon the system to properly compute the cost of our finished goods inventories using the weighted average method, we believe that the weighted average method would not have yielded a materially different computation of the value than the standard cost method that we applied. For periods subsequent to March 31, 2005, we determined that differences between the system-calculated values (average cost) of our finished goods inventories versus the values of our finished goods inventories using a standard cost method were immaterial. At March 31, 2006, inventories of approximately $102,000 remained on hand that had been valued in prior periods using the standard cost method.

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, we revised employee guidelines and procedures for recording inventory-related transactions within our software system, and shortly after December 31, 2005, we prepared a detailed analysis of the weighted average cost calculations recorded within our software for several of our finished goods inventory items. Our guidelines and procedures are designed to ensure that only qualified personnel may record inventory-related transactions. During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, those persons received additional training in how to properly record finished goods inventory transactions within the system. Our detailed analysis concluded with reasonable assurance that the software system has been properly configured within a level of accuracy that provides us with reasonable assurance to now rely upon the system to properly compute the weighted average unit costs of our finished goods inventories. Therefore, we now believe, with reasonable assurance, that the programming errors related to our operations software no longer cause a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to inventory valuation. However, human errors have continued to cause a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to inventory valuation. Our detailed analysis revealed that certain variances in the unit costs of our finished goods inventories have occurred, because procedures were not properly followed in all instances. Ongoing training and management supervision are inherent requirements within any software system and all errors cannot be prevented in all instances. In order to achieve reasonable assurance that human errors no longer cause a material weakness, we will continue to educate and supervise our personnel responsible for recording inventory-related transactions, and we will also continue to refine our periodic testing model used to determine the accuracy of inventory-related transactions which have been recorded within the system.

 

The material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to inventory valuation also impaired our ability to rely upon information created by our computer system to fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in the periods covered by this report. The inability of our computer system to properly calculate the valuation of our finished goods inventories using a weighted average cost assumption also affected the system-recorded amounts within our cost of goods sold in certain periods covered by this report. Because (1) we concluded with reasonable assurance that our using a standard cost assumption yielded a fair estimation of our finished goods inventories from the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004, through the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005, (2) we determined that differences between the system-calculated values (average cost) of our finished goods inventories versus the values of our finished goods inventories using a standard cost method subsequent to March 31, 2005, were immaterial and (3) we consistently recorded adjustments to inventories as components of cost of goods sold, we believe with reasonable assurance that our cost of goods sold are fairly stated for the periods covered by this report. Therefore, we believe that the procedures we applied to value our finished goods inventories for the periods covered by this report provide us with reasonable assurance that our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto fairly state, in all material respects, our financial condition, the results of our operations and our cash flows.

Excess finished goods inventories are a natural component of a seasonal apparel business. While certain finished goods items will sell out in any particular selling season, quantities of other finished goods items will remain at the end of each selling season. We market previous seasons’ finished goods inventories at reduced wholesale prices to our customers in the normal course of business. Remaining excess inventories are liquidated through other markets. In the ordinary course of business, we maintain reserves for inventory write downs due to the obsolescence of discontinued or aging merchandise. We perform analyses on a quarterly basis to identify unsold discontinued or aging merchandise and adjust our reserves for inventory obsolescence to reduce the carrying value of discontinued or aging merchandise to its estimated net realizable value. The net realizable value of the discontinued or aging merchandise is estimated based on management’s disposition plans and historical experiences. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we recorded finished goods inventories write-downs of $91,000. While management believes that our processes produce fair valuations of obsolete inventories, if actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional allowances may be required or we may recognize losses on the disposition of obsolete inventories.

 

Deferred Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected tax consequences in future years for differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts, based upon enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Our significant deferred tax assets are related to net operating loss carry forwards for federal and state income tax purposes, stock-based compensation and an unrealized loss for tax purposes on a common stock investment. Governing regulations require that our operating losses be carried forward for income tax purposes. We have established a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the net amount expected to be recovered in future periods. The estimates for deferred tax assets and the corresponding valuation allowance require us to exercise complex judgments. We periodically review and adjust those estimates based upon the most current information available. In accordance with SFAS 109 and based upon a review at March 31, 2006, of our utilization of deferred tax assets, we maintained a valuation allowance that effectively reduces our net deferred tax assets to zero. While we continue to explore various strategies to return the Company to profitability, including the introduction of Top-Flite™ branded apparel, we cannot be certain that our efforts will result in the generation of future profits. Because the recoverability of deferred tax assets is directly dependent upon future operating results, actual recoverability of deferred tax assets may differ materially from our estimates.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Our allowance for doubtful accounts reflects a reserve that reduces our customer accounts receivable to the net amount estimated to be collectible. Estimating the credit worthiness of customers and the recoverability of customer accounts requires us to exercise considerable judgment. In estimating the reserve for uncollectible accounts, we consider factors such as general economic and industry-specific conditions, historical customer performance and anticipated customer performance. From time to time, we also identify delinquent customer accounts for which a specific reserve is required. Our allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $155,000 at March 31, 2006. While we consider our processes to be adequate to effectively quantify our exposure to doubtful accounts, changes in economic, industry or specific customer conditions may result in recoverability of our doubtful accounts that differs materially from our estimates.

 

16



 

Allowance for Sales Returns

 

We record allowances for sales returns as net adjustments to customer accounts receivable. When recording an allowance, the net method reduces customer accounts receivable and net sales by the estimated gross margin effect of the anticipated sales return. Generally, our selling terms preclude return of our products subsequent to the sale. However, we have traditionally maintained limited programs that offer some customers the right to return certain finished goods items under predefined conditions, which we include as a component within our estimate of allowance for sales returns. We review historical data and consider factors such as general economic and industry-specific conditions and anticipated customer performance when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for sales returns. At March 31, 2006, our allowance for sales returns was $286,000. Significant changes in general economic or industry conditions may yield sales returns that differ materially from our estimates.

 

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-6 (“EITF 05-6”), “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements.” The guidance provided by EITF 05-6 requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes renewals of the lease that are reasonably assured at the date of the business combination or purchase of the leasehold improvement. EITF 05-6 is effective for periods beginning after June 29, 2005. We do not believe the adoption of EITF 05-6 will have a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.

 

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154 (“SFAS 154”), “Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.”  SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. The provisions of SFAS 154 require, unless impracticable, retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of: (1) all voluntary changes in principles; and, (2) changes required by a new accounting pronouncement, if a specific transition period is not provided. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate, which requires prospective application of the new method. SFAS 154 is effective for all accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Because SFAS 154 is directly dependent upon future events, we cannot determine what effect, if any, adoption of SFAS 154 will have on our financial condition or the results of our operations.

 

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”), “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” to clarify the guidance included in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 requires companies to recognize a liability for the fair value of a legal obligation to perform asset retirement activities that are conditional on a future event if the amount can be reasonably determined. If amounts cannot be reasonably estimated, FIN 47 requires certain disclosures about the unrecognized asset retirement obligations. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. We do not anticipate that adoption of FIN 47 will have a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The golf apparel business is highly seasonal in nature, and the balance sheet amounts as of March 31, 2006, may be more meaningful when compared with the balance sheet amounts as of March 31, 2005, rather than with the balance sheet amounts at June 30, 2005.

 

Our primary sources of liquidity are comprised of available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and a working capital line of credit with a commercial bank. We require cash for general working capital purposes. We do not anticipate the requirements of material amounts of cash for capital expenditures over the remainder of the current fiscal year. Our working capital requirements are highly seasonal in nature, with greater requirements from approximately August through October and February through April of each fiscal year, due to the purchases of finished goods inventories for the spring/summer and fall/holiday selling seasons, respectively.

 

Our net accounts receivable decreased by $1,476,000 to $3,019,000 at March 31, 2006, from $4,495,000 at June 30, 2005. When compared with the March 31, 2005, balance, the net accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2006, increased by $35,000, or 1%, while net sales for the comparable periods increased by 5%, from $4,455,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, to $4,656,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Changes in our accounts receivable balances and related allowances provided operating cash of $1,476,000 and $2,962,000 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

Our inventories increased from $4,153,000 at June 30, 2005, to $7,156,000 at March 31, 2006. However, our inventory requirements are highly cyclical in nature, and, when compared with the balance of $6,143,000 at March 31, 2005, our inventories at March 31, 2006, increased by $1,113,000, or 18%. Our finished goods inventories generally increase during our fiscal quarter ended March 31 when compared with the June 30 balance in the previous fiscal year. We generally receive a substantial amount of inventory at or near the end of our March 31 fiscal quarter in order to fulfill orders for fall merchandise which we begin shipping in early May of each year. The 2006 consolidation of financial statement amounts for Sport-Haley and Reserve Apparel as well as differences between the periods with respect to amounts and timing of pending ocean deliveries of finished goods also factored into the respective differences. At March 31, 2006 Reserve Apparel had recorded inventory deposits of $518,000. Pending ocean deliveries of finished goods approximated $1,086,000, $459,000 and $824,000 at March 31, 2006, June 30, 2005, and March 31, 2005, respectively. Changes in our inventory balances used operating cash of $3,288,000 and provided operating cash of $2,765,000 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

Our continued reliance on foreign suppliers sustains the risk that our revenues could be adversely affected if a foreign shipment or shipments were received late or lost. We maintain insurance for risk of loss relating to goods shipped from our foreign and domestic suppliers. However, our predominant reliance upon foreign suppliers, and significant reliance on six separate foreign suppliers, also sustains the risk that we would be left with inadequate or unsatisfactory recourse should the goods received from a foreign supplier be nonconforming.

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $623,000, or 36%, to $2,374,000 at March 31, 2006, from $1,751,000 at June 30, 2005. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $470,000, or 25%, from $1,904,000 at March 31, 2005. The increase of $470,000 when comparing the balance at March 31, 2006, with the balance at March 31, 2005, primarily related to accrued expenses with regard to

 

18



 

Reserve Apparel in the March 31, 2006, period combined with a decrease in accrued payroll expenses between the comparative periods. At March 31, 2006, Reserve Apparel had an accounts payable balance of $270,000. Included in accrued payroll expenses at March 31, 2006, was the balance of $326,000 in severance and other compensation payable to our former chief executive officer. Comparatively, at March 31, 2005, accrued payroll expenses included the balance of $490,000 in severance and other compensation payable to our former chief executive officer.

 

Due to the combination of the factors discussed above and others, our operating activities used cash of $1,212,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2006. Comparatively, during the nine months ended March 31, 2005, our operating activities provided cash of $2,033,000.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, investing activities used cash of $11,000. Comparatively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2005, investing activities provided cash of $433,000. Our cash flows from investing activities are primarily derived from purchases and redemptions of held-to-maturity investments. Historically, our held-to-maturity investments have consisted of short-term federal agency securities. During the nine months ended March 31, 2005, redemptions of held-to-maturity investments provided cash of $539,000. We have not maintained material amounts in held-to-maturity investments since September 2004. During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, we received $16,000 in proceeds from sales of fixed assets, expended $27,000 for the purchase of property and equipment, and $247,000 in depreciation and amortization was charged to current operations.

 

We maintain a revolving line of credit agreement with a commercial bank. The revolving line of credit agreement, renewed by amendment through December 5, 2006, provides for a maximum loan amount of $5,000,000, collateralized by a lien on substantially all of our assets, and for interest at the bank’s prime rate. In accordance with the amended agreement, we must maintain tangible net worth of $14,000,000 and liquidity of $4,000,000. We generally maintain the line of credit to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit for inventory purchases from offshore suppliers and, if necessary, to fund any temporary working capital needs. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the amount available for borrowing under the line of credit agreement. At March 31, 2006, we had $445,000 in outstanding letters of credit that were issued to foreign suppliers in accordance with finished goods inventory purchase commitments.

 

We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from operations, as well as the ability to borrow under the bank line of credit, will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements during the remainder of fiscal 2006. We also have alternative sources of financing, including the factoring of customer accounts receivable. We do not anticipate drawing on the line of credit or using alternative sources of financing during the remainder of fiscal 2006. However, our capital needs will depend on many factors, including the Company’s growth rate, the need to finance required inventory levels, the success of current sales and marketing programs, the cash requirements of the operations of Reserve Apparel and various other factors.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our business is seasonal in nature, and sales occurring from January through June, which comprise our third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year, are generally disproportionately higher than sales occurring from July through December.

 

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006, were $4,656,000, an increase of $201,000, or 5%, from net sales of $4,455,000 for the comparable quarterly period in the prior fiscal year. Net sales for the

nine months ended March 31, 2006, were $13,096,000, a decrease of $1,929,000, or 13%, from net sales of $15,025,000 for the comparable nine-month period in the prior fiscal year. We attribute the differences in net sales to factors such as the previously reported discontinuance of our HALEY RESERVE men’s fashion apparel and a significant decrease in SPORT HALEY™ women’s apparel between the respective periods combined with Reserve Apparel’s sales of Top-Flite™ branded apparel. The decrease in net sales for the nine-month period associated with our discontinuance of the HALEY RESERVE men’s collections totaled $1,200,000, the approximate amount of HALEY RESERVE net sales recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2005. Net sales of our SPORT HALEY™ women’s collections decreased substantially between the comparable quarterly and nine-month periods. Net sales of SPORT HALEY™ women’s apparel totaled approximately $1,607,000 and $4,526,000, for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006, decreases of approximately $334,000, or 17%, and $2,764,000, or 35%, when compared with the respective quarterly and nine-month periods in the prior fiscal year. The comparative quarterly decrease in net sales of SPORT HALEY™ women’s apparel reflects the fact that net sales for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005, included $395,000 in sales of prior seasons women’s inventories to a major retailer, while no such sales were recorded during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006. The shrinking market for women’s fashion golf apparel appears to have bottomed out, and we anticipate that our sales of women’s apparel will begin to increase slightly in future periods. SPORT HALEY™ continues to be a highly recognized brand within the women’s golf apparel market, and we are continuing to develop plans to improve the strategic position of the SPORT HALEY™ brand within the women’s market.

 

Net sales of our Ben Hogan® men’s collections continued to increase slightly between the comparative periods. Net sales of Ben Hogan® approximated $2,420,000 and $7,609,000 for the quarter and nine-months ended March 31, 2006, increases of $104,000, or 4%, and $584,000, or 8%, from net sales of $2,316,000 and $7,025,000 for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2005. We believe that the increase in Ben Hogan® sales is indicative of the highly-respected reputation we have built for the Ben Hogan® apparel brand within golf apparel markets. Ben Hogan® apparel is marketed in accordance with a licensing agreement we maintain with Callaway Golf Company (“Callaway”) for such apparel. We consider the licensing agreement with Callaway to be a key component of our business strategies. While we strive to maintain a good working relationship with Callaway, the trend for the last several periods, reflecting a continued increasing reliance on sales of licensed apparel, sustains a risk of loss, should the licensing agreement with Callaway be terminated by either party.

 

Reserve Apparel began shipping Top-Flite™ branded men’s golf apparel to Wal-Mart Stores in March 2006. Net sales of Top-Flite™ apparel for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, totaled $446,000. A licensing agreement between Callaway and Sport-Haley allows Reserve Apparel to market golf apparel bearing the Top-Flite™ brand.

 

Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 37% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, and 37% for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 36% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006, and 26% for the same six-month period in the prior fiscal year. Our gross profit is generally affected by sales discounts offered to customers on various marketing programs, payment discounts offered to certain customers, dispositions of excess inventories at reduced sales prices and the valuation of excess inventories to the lower of cost or market. The disposition of excess inventories negatively impacts our gross profit percentage even when such inventories are properly valued to the lower of cost or market, because such valuation causes sales to be recorded with gross profit at or near zero. For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, we recorded net sales of $539,000 and gross profit of $15,000 with respect to sales of excess inventories, which we believe is indicative of our

 

20



 

successful efforts to better estimate the recoverable value of our excess finished goods inventories. The valuation of inventories to the lower of cost or market negatively impacts our gross profit percentage, because a reduction of inventory value causes an increase in our cost of goods sold, thereby reducing our gross profit. Our gross profit was negatively impacted by $91,000 and $285,000 for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006, respectively, by the adjustment of our finished goods inventories to the lower of cost or market. Comparatively, our gross profit was negatively impacted by $0 and $1,238,000 for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2005, by similar lower of cost or market adjustments. We believe that the substantially smaller negative impact for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006, when compared with the same nine month period in the prior fiscal year, is indicative of our successful efforts to minimize the amount of our finished goods inventories remaining on hand at the end of each selling season.

 

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales with respect to Top-Flite™ branded apparel, was 4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Gross profit relating to Top-Flite™ sales during the quarter was negatively impacted by production delays and extraordinary shipping charges. Production delays with a foreign supplier caused us to incur inbound air freight charges of $70,000 and additional shipping charges of $45,000 in order to deliver the merchandise to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., within their acceptable range of receipt dates for the merchandise which was sold to them in March 2006. Achieving only a 4% gross margin on sales of Top-Flite™ branded apparel concerns us greatly. To achieve higher margins in the future and to operate more efficiently, in April 2006, we began reorganizing the operations of Reserve Apparel to move substantially all of its operations to our Denver, Colorado facility by late July 2006. Initially, the product development, sourcing and logistics operations of Reserve Apparel were performed by employees of Explorer Headgear, Inc. in Toronto, Ontario. We expect that sales of Top-Flite™ branded apparel should produce gross margins of 25% or greater. However, because of continued production and other delays relating to deliveries and shipments after March 31, 2006, gross margins with respect to Top-Flite™ branded apparel may not improve dramatically until after June 30, 2006.

 

Our gross margins may not be comparable to other companies within the golf apparel industry. We have consistently included the cost of merchandise sold, including import charges, in-bound freight, allocated overhead, freight-out, embroidery costs and other charges in our cost of goods sold. Our overhead allocation includes a portion of our distribution costs, such as receiving, inspection and shipping costs, but we include some of the other costs of distribution, such as a portion of our warehousing and other handling costs, in selling, general and administrative expenses. Our gross margins also include, on a consolidated basis, the operations of Reserve Apparel, which distributes Top-Flite™ apparel to the mass retail market at much lower price points and gross margins than those expected to be achieved in the premium and mid-price markets where we distribute our SPORT HALEY™ and Ben Hogan® apparel brands. Other companies within the golf apparel industry may or may not operate within the lower price markets. We include royalty payments, relating to sales of licensed apparel, in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $176,000, or 8%, to $1,959,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, from $2,134,000 for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $2,236,000, or 30%, to $5,121,000 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006, from $7,357,000 for the same six-month period in the prior fiscal year. The comparative decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses are attributable to several factors. During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, we recorded $520,000 in severance compensation relating to the departure of our former chief executive officer, and during the six months ended December 31, 2004, we recorded $650,000 in severance and other compensation subsequent to the death of our former

 

21



 

Chairman. We did not record any severance compensation expense during any of the periods in the nine-months ended March 31, 2006. Differences in sales commission, payroll expenses and a general reduction in general and administrative expenses also contributed to the respective decreases in overall selling, general and administrative expenses. Sales commissions were $361,000 and $1,005,000 for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006, and were $362,000 and $1,353,000 for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2005, respectively. After excluding the severance and other compensation expenses from total payroll expenses recorded during the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2005, payroll expenses decreased by $74,000 and $267,000 for the quarterly and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2006, respectively. Payroll expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, included bonuses and related employer payroll taxes totaling $91,000 paid in October 2005 to certain of the Company’s executives. No executive bonuses were recorded for the comparative nine-month period in the previous fiscal year. Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006, also include $138,000 from the operations of Reserve Apparel, including $20,000 in legal fees incurred by Sport-Haley relating to the formation of Reserve Apparel. The balance of the Reserve Apparel operating expenses for the three-month period generally related to amounts allocated by Explorer Gear for personnel costs incurred in the business operations of Reserve Apparel during the quarterly period. The remainders of the comparative decreases are generally attributable to overall comparative decreases in general and administrative expenses between the periods, which are indicative of cost reductions that have been achieved as a result of implementing cost reduction initiatives in fiscal 2005. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 43% and 39% for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006, and 48% and 49% for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2005, respectively.

 

We recorded Ben Hogan® royalty expense of $176,000 and $514,000, and $153,000 and $503,000, for the quarters and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We recorded Top-Flite™ royalty expense of $27,000 for the quarter and nine-months ended March 31, 2006. Royalty expense is due to Callaway in accordance with the license they previously granted to us to market men’s apparel bearing the Ben Hogan® and Top-Flite™ labels.

 

Other income, net, was $237,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $162,000, or 216%, from $75,000 for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Other income, net, was $367,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $229,000, or 166%, from $138,000 for the same nine-month period in the prior fiscal year. Our other income, net, is generally comprised of interest earned on cash and cash equivalent balances held at various financial institutions. The increases for the quarterly and nine-month periods are partially attributable to slightly higher rates of interest earned during the respective periods ended March 31, 2006, than had been earned during the comparable periods in the prior fiscal year. Other income for the quarter and nine-months ended March 31, 2006, also includes $157,000 of the $173,000 recovered in the settlement we reached with our former auditors. We offset related legal expenses for the nine-month period with the remainder of the settlement in the amount of $16,000.

 

Loss before minority interest in loss and provision for income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, was ($188,000), a difference of $392,000, or 68%, as compared with ($580,000) for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Loss before minority interest in loss and provision for income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, was ($616,000), a difference of $3,246,000, or 84%, as compared with ($3,862,000) for the same period in the prior fiscal year. At March 31, 2006, we had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of $6,000,000 and $8,700,000 that we estimated may be recoverable at income tax rates of 34% and 5%, respectively. Because of our continued trend of net

 

22



 

losses in fiscal 2006 and the most recent prior fiscal years, we determined that it was more probable than not that none of our net deferred tax assets will be recovered, and we maintained our valuation allowance that effectively reduced our net deferred tax assets to zero. While we continue to search for ways to streamline our business operations and to initiate other improvements to return the Company to profitability, such as the introduction of Top-Flite™ branded apparel, we cannot be certain that our efforts will result in the generation of future profits sufficient to offset our significant net operating loss carry forwards prior to their expirations. Accordingly, during the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, we did not record a benefit from income taxes associated with the corresponding losses for the respective nine-month periods.

 

Basic and diluted loss per common share were ($0.07) and ($0.23) for the quarters and were ($0.23) and ($1.52) for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Due to the Company’s net losses, all outstanding stock options were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the loss per share calculations.

 

Our book value per outstanding common share was $5.60 at March 31, 2006, $5.95 at June 30, 2005, and $5.95 at March 31, 2005.

ITEM 3 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk with regard to changes in United States interest rates. This exposure is directly related to our normal operating and funding activities. Historically, and as of March 31, 2006, we have not used derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities. Our market risk has not changed significantly from December 31, 2005.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We maintain a revolving line of credit agreement with a commercial bank that provides for interest at the bank’s prime rate. The agreement provides for a maximum loan amount of $5,000,000 collateralized by a lien on substantially all of our assets. The bank also requires that we maintain tangible net worth of $14,000,000 and liquidity of $4,000,000. We generally maintain the line of credit to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit for inventory purchases from offshore suppliers, and, if necessary, to fund any temporary working capital needs. At March 31, 2006, we did not have any outstanding borrowings under the line of credit. Increases in the bank’s prime rate could, however, increase the interest expense with respect to future borrowings, including borrowings under the line of credit. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the amount available for borrowing under the line of credit. We had outstanding letters of credit of $445,000 at March 31, 2006. We do not use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.

 

From time to time, we maintain short-term investments in low risk and no risk financial instruments, readily convertible into cash, which earn interest at variable rates. Periodically, our cash balances held at financial institutions exceed federally insured limits.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a)          Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Management of the Company, with the participation of the Interim Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, management, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in reaching a reasonable level of assurance that: (a) all material information relating to the Company, required to be disclosed in this report, has been made known to management in a timely manner; and, (b) information was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations.

 

As discussed in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Inventories,” after we implemented our operations software in January 2004, we discovered certain programming and human errors within the new system that adversely affected the software’s ability to accurately compute the valuation of our finished goods inventories using a weighted average method. In prior periods we considered the programming and human errors, which caused us to use a standard cost method in the prior periods, to be a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to inventory valuation. This weakness in our controls prevented us from relying upon the system-recorded transactions with respect to inventory valuations during fiscal 2005. During the 2005 fiscal year, we concluded with reasonable assurance that recomputing the value of our finished goods inventories using a standard cost method yielded a fair estimation of the value of our finished goods inventories. We used the standard cost method to value our finished goods inventories from the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004, through the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005. Had we been able to rely upon the system to properly compute the cost of our finished goods inventories using the weighted average method, we believe that the weighted average method would not have yielded a materially different computation of the value than the standard cost method that we applied. For periods subsequent to March 31, 2005, we determined that differences between the system-calculated values (average cost) of our finished goods inventories versus the values of our finished goods inventories using a standard cost method were immaterial. A relatively small percentage our inventory items remained on hand at March 31, 2006, that had been valued in prior periods using the standard cost method.

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, we revised employee guidelines and procedures for recording inventory-related transactions within our software system, and shortly after December 31, 2005, we prepared a detailed analysis of the weighted average cost calculations recorded within our software for several of our finished goods inventory items. Our guidelines and procedures are designed to ensure that only qualified personnel may record inventory-related transactions During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, those persons received additional training in how to properly record finished goods transactions within the system. Our detailed analysis concluded with reasonable assurance that the software system has been properly configured within a level of accuracy that provides us with reasonable assurance to now rely upon the system to properly compute the weighted average unit costs of our finished goods inventories. Therefore, we now believe, with reasonable assurance, that the programming errors related to our operations software no longer cause a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to inventory valuation. However,

 

25



 

human errors have continued to cause a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to inventory valuation. Our detailed analysis revealed that certain variances in the unit costs of our finished goods inventories have occurred, because procedures were not properly followed in all instances. Ongoing training and management supervision are inherent requirements within any software system, and all errors cannot be prevented in all instances. In order to achieve reasonable assurance that human errors no longer cause a material weakness, we will continue to educate and supervise our personnel responsible for recording inventory-related transactions, and we will also refine our periodic testing model used to determine the accuracy of inventory-related transactions which have been recorded within the system.

 

The material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to inventory valuation also impaired our ability to rely upon information created by our computer system to fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in the periods covered by this report. The inability of our computer system to properly calculate the valuation of our finished goods inventories using a weighted average cost assumption also affected the system-recorded amounts within our cost of goods sold in certain periods covered by this report. Because (1) we concluded with reasonable assurance that our using a standard cost assumption yielded a fair estimation of our finished goods inventories from the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004, through the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005, (2) we determined that differences between the system-calculated values (average cost) of our finished goods inventories versus the values of our finished goods inventories using a standard cost method subsequent to March 31, 2005, were immaterial and (3) we consistently recorded adjustments to inventories as components of cost of goods sold, we believe with reasonable assurance that our cost of goods sold are fairly stated for the periods covered by this report. Therefore, we believe that the procedures we applied to value our finished goods inventories for the periods covered by this report provide us with reasonable assurance that our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto fairly state, in all material respects, our financial condition, the results of our operations and our cash flows.

 

(b)          Changes in Internal Controls

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we did not institute any changes in internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Our management, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will, in all instances, prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. While our control systems provide a reasonable assurance level, the design of its control systems reflects the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of such controls were considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the financial reports of Sport-Haley, Inc. have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of

 

26



 

simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, a control may be circumvented by the individual act of some person, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management’s override of a specific control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

ITEM 1

 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On February 13, 2006, we entered into a settlement agreement to resolve all pending claims between Sport-Haley, Inc., our former auditors and certain of our former auditors’ current and former members. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement and a sharing agreement between Sport-Haley, Inc. and one of our director and officer liability insurance carriers, in February 2006, we received a net payment of $173,000 from the total settlement with the former auditors, of which $157,000 was included in other income and $16,000 was offset against related legal expenses for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006.

 

In March 2001, as we previously announced, we retained legal counsel to possibly pursue claims against our former auditors in connection with damages we claimed were suffered as a result of the restatements of our financial statements for fiscal years 1999 and 1998 and the corrections of material information for the quarterly periods of fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998. Also, we were previously advised that the former auditors asserted certain claims against us, including allegations of unpaid fees. Neither Sport-Haley, Inc. nor the former auditors filed any legal action to assert any of these disputed claims.

 

During a mediation session in November 2005, we reached an agreement in principle with the former auditors to settle all disputed claims between the parties and their affiliates. The parties executed a written settlement agreement, which provided for payment to Sport-Haley, Inc. of $525,000. In accordance with a sharing agreement between Sport-Haley, Inc. and one of its carriers for director and officer liability insurance, we received $173,000 of these settlement proceeds, or 33%, and the insurance carrier received the remainder to partially recover amounts the carrier paid in connection with a previously settled class action securities lawsuit and defense costs the carrier reimbursed to us relating to the civil action lawsuit filed by the SEC.

 

Among other terms of the settlement agreement, the parties have agreed to mutual releases of all claims asserted against each other and each party has continued to deny the merits of those claims asserted against it by the other party.

 

We are subject to various other legal proceedings or claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Based upon information that is currently available, management does not believe that the total impact of other legal proceedings or claims will materially affect our financial position or the results of our operations.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

On May 8, 2006, we announced the appointment of Jan Beemer to the newly created position of Customer Relations Liaison for our SPORT HALEY™ and Ben Hogan® apparel lines.

 

On April 28, 2006, we announced that we provided notice to Caymus Partners LLC (“Caymus”) of our intent to terminate Caymus’ engagement as the Company’s investment banking firm, which had been assisting the Company since December 2004 in exploring strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. Since the expiration of the original agreement with Caymus in July 2005, the parties had continued the engagement on a month to month basis. The termination of the engagement was effective on May 14, 2006.

On April 26, 2006, we announced the issuance of a cash dividend $0.25 per share, payable to our common shareholders of record as of May 5, 2006. The dividend was distributed to shareholders by May 19, 2006.

 

On February 20, 2006, we announced that our Audit Committee, along with senior management, determined that the Company’s statements of operations and cash flows for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005, contained an error which, when corrected, would result in a material impact on results of our operation for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The Audit Committee and senior management determined that the statements of operations and cash flows for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, required restatement. The error related to the Company’s accounting for bonuses paid to certain executive officers and a key employee of the Company in October 2005. On February 28, 2006, we filed an amended interim report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005, to correct this error.

 

On February 14, 2006, we announced that on February 13, 2005, we entered into a settlement agreement to resolve all pending claims between Sport-Haley, Inc., our former auditors and certain of our former auditors’ current and former members. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement and a sharing agreement between Sport-Haley, Inc. and one of our director and officer liability insurance carriers, in February 2006, we received a net payment of $173,000 from the total settlement with the former auditors.

 

In February 2006, effective February 7, 2006, we entered into an employment agreement with Michael D. Doris to serve as our Western Regional Sales Manager. The agreement provides for a term of one year, subject to automatic one-year extensions unless otherwise terminated, at an annual salary of $110,000, plus an override commission of 0.2% on the Company’s gross annualized sales (excluding discounted sales of more than 50% from original suggested wholesale prices), returns and credits.

 

On February 3, 2006, we announced that we received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”), upon which our common stock trades, advising that, after filing our application for registration of our common stock on Form 10 and the registration becoming effective on January 24, 2006, we have regained compliance with the registration requirement for continuing listing on the Nasdaq National Market, as stated in NASD Marketplace Rule 4440(a). We were further advised that, subject to making a public disclosure concerning the receipt of the letter, Nasdaq considered this matter to be closed.

 

On January 25, 2006, we announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission declared our recently filed application for registration of our common stock on Form 10, pursuant to §12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, effective as of January 24, 2006.

 

On January 17, 2006, we announced that the United States District Court for the District of Colorado entered a Final Judgment, pursuant to a settlement reached with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to resolve the pending claims in the civil action brought by the SEC against Sport-Haley, Inc. and our former Controller. The settlement did not call for the Company to pay any fine, civil penalty or disgorgement.

On January 4, 2006, we announced that the Company had notified the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., upon which the Company’s common stock is listed on the National Market, that the Company had recently become aware that our common shares were not properly registered under §12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended. Therefore, we were not in compliance with NASD Marketplace Rule 4440(a), which requires an issue of securities to be registered under §12(g) of the Exchange Act in order to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market. We also announced that, in order to register our common stock pursuant to §12(g) of the Exchange Act, we would be filing a registration statement on Form 10.
