Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 22, 2006, Sport-Haley, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a news release announcing that on September 21, 2006, the Company had entered into an agreement to purchase the limited liability company membership interest of Explorer Gear USA, Inc. (“Explorer Gear”) in Reserve Apparel Group, LLC (“Reserve Apparel”) and to settle any and all potential claims between the parties to the Agreement. The Agreement will result in the Company being the sole member of Reserve Apparel. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and the information contained therein is incorporated herein by reference.  A copy of the Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and the information contained therein is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events

On September 21, 2006, we entered into an Agreement, attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein, to purchase Explorer Gear’s entire membership interest in Reserve Apparel and to settle all potential claims between, as applicable, Sport-Haley, Reserve Apparel, Explorer Gear and Explorer Headgear, Inc. (“Explorer Headgear”), and each of their respective affiliates.   The Agreement requires us to make a lump sum payment to Explorer Gear of $375,000.  After Reserve Apparel began operations, certain disputes arose between the members concerning, among other things, the formation and operation of the business of Reserve Apparel.  Sport-Haley, Reserve Apparel, Explorer Gear and Explorer Headgear have denied any liability to one another.  As part of the Agreement entered into, the parties have agreed to settle and resolve any asserted or potential claims against each other.  The parties also have agreed to mutual releases of all claims asserted, or which could have been asserted, against each other, and each party has continued to deny the merits of those claims asserted against it by the other party(ies).  After entering into the Agreement, Explorer Gear will no longer have any membership interest in Reserve Apparel and we will wholly own the company.

We had intended to continue selling Top-Flite® apparel through Reserve Apparel to Wal-Mart Stores in the United States.  We had met with Wal-Mart representatives and presented to them a new Top-Flite® line and were awaiting orders for the summer 2007 season.  However, on September 22, 2006, Wal-Mart informed us that it did not intend to continue purchasing Top-Flite® apparel from us but instead intended to develop its own golf apparel brand.  Accordingly, we expect to develop other markets and channels of distribution for our Top-Flite® garments, including marketing Top-Flite® to other mass retailers.
