SPORT-HALEY, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1             SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sport-Haley, Inc. (“Sport Haley”) and Reserve Apparel Group LLC (“Reserve Apparel”). Sport Haley and Reserve Apparel may collectively be referred to as “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our.” All significant inter-company transactions between Sport Haley and Reserve Apparel have been eliminated.

 

Nature of Operations Sport Haley, organized as a Colorado corporation in January 1991, designs, purchases or contracts for the manufacture of, markets and distributes 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 sales representatives and distributors, to golf professional shops, country clubs, resorts and exclusive department stores within the United States. Ben Hogan® fashion golf apparel is distributed per the terms of a license agreement with Callaway Golf Company (“Callaway”).

 

Reserve Apparel, formed in November 2005, designed, purchased or contracted for the manufacture of, marketed and distributed branded golf apparel and outerwear under the Top-Flite® label to mass retailers and other big-box, high sales volume retail stores. Since September 2006 Reserve Apparel has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sport Haley. Top-Flite® branded golf apparel was distributed per the terms of a license agreement with Callaway. We discontinued marketing Top-Flite® Branded apparel in November 2007, and in March 2008 the license agreement was amended to remove the Top-Flite® brand, effective January 1, 2008.

 

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Our 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 representation. The preparation of consolidated 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.

 

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, 2007, included in the Company’s filing on Form 10-K.

 

Reclassification Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the March 31, 2008, presentation. Such reclassifications had no affect on net income (loss) in any of the periods presented.

 

Stock-Based Compensation In January 2008, we adopted a new stock option plan, entitled the Sport-Haley 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “2008 Plan”), which was approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting that was held on February 21, 2008, and continued on

SPORT-HALEY, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

February 25, 2008. Under the 2008 Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to grant up to 50,000 non-qualified stock options and up to 150,000 incentive stock options. No options or other awards have been granted under the 2008 Plan.

 

Our former Stock Option Plan (the “Former Plan”) expired by its terms on February 28, 2003. Option agreements that were issued in accordance with the Former 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, 2008, there were outstanding options to purchase 586,000 shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.71 to $9.78 per share and expiration dates between August 2008 and January 2013. All outstanding options are fully vested. No options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2008, and no options expired. During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, no options were exercised and 7,500 options expired.

 

Recent Pronouncements  In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (“SFAS 161”), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 131”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” establishes, among other things, the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 131 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations; and, (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2008, with earlier adoption encouraged. SFAS 161 further encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. We do not anticipate early adoption, and our adoption of SFAS 161 upon its effective date is not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or the results of our operations.

 

We have reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.

Included in finished goods inventories are allowances for write-downs of $178,000 and $236,000 as of March 31, 2008, and June 30, 2007, respectively.

 

NOTE 3             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, 2008, provides for a maximum loan amount of $2,000,000, collateralized by a certificate of deposit held at the commercial bank in the amount of $2,000,000, which earns a market rate of interest. Borrowings under the line of credit agreement accrue interest at 1.250% plus the one-month LIBOR rate. 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, 2008, and June 30, 2007, respectively, balances due on the line of credit were $500,000 and $0, respectively.

 

Outstanding letters of credit reduce the amount available for borrowing under the line of credit agreement. At March 31, 2008, and June 30, 2007, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $312,000 and $2,173,000, respectively.

 

NOTE 4             COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Our license agreement with Callaway requires us to pay royalties based upon sales of Ben Hogan® fashion apparel and previously also required us to pay royalties based upon sales of Top-Flite® branded apparel. We record royalties as other operating costs in the periods when such sales are recognized. Terms of the license agreement provide for minimum royalties on a calendar year basis. Royalties are payable to Callaway on a quarterly basis.

 

Because sales of Top-Flite® branded apparel were insufficient to meet the contractual minimum royalty requirement for calendar 2007, we accrued a contingent liability of $178,000 at June 30, 2007, and we accrued an additional contingent liability of $2,000 at December 31, 2007. In March 2008, we reached an agreement with Callaway to remove the Top-Flite® brand from the license agreement, effective January 1, 2008, whereby any unpaid minimum royalties due to Callaway as of December 31, 2007, with respect to Top-Flite® apparel were extinguished and forgiven. Therefore, in March 2008, we reversed the contingent liability with regard to Top-Flite® minimum royalties and recorded miscellaneous income of $178,000.

SPORT-HALEY, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Sales of Ben Hogan® fashion apparel for the three months ended March 31, 2008, were insufficient to satisfy one-fourth of the 2008 calendar year minimum royalties due under the license agreement. Thus, at March 31, 2008, we recorded a contingent liability of $38,000 with regard to minimum royalties due for Ben Hogan® fashion apparel.

 

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:

NOTE 6             SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The consolidated Company has two operating segments which consist of designing, purchasing or contracting for the manufacture of and wholesale sales of women’s and men’s (1) fashion golf apparel and outerwear and (2) branded golf apparel, which we discontinued marketing as of November 2007. SPORT HALEY® and Ben Hogan® fashion golf apparel and outerwear collections are primarily marketed by Sport Haley 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. Top-Flite® men’s branded apparel was marketed by Reserve Apparel to mass retailers and other big-box type high sales volume retail stores within the United States. Ben Hogan® fashion apparel and Top-Flite® branded apparel have been distributed pursuant to a license agreement with Callaway.

 

Reserve Apparel distributed Top-Flite® apparel exclusively to Wal-Mart from March 2006 through August 2006, after which we were notified that Wal-Mart had chosen to develop its own private label for golf apparel and discontinue selling Top-Flite® apparel. We redesigned Top-Flite® branded apparel to include garments primarily comprised of a variety of performance fabrics, and we aggressively marketed Top-Flite® apparel to several mass retailers and big-box type high sales volume retail stores. We expected our marketing efforts would result in the establishment of business relationships with one or more mass retailers and other big-box type high sales volume retail stores. However, we only received one order for Top-Flite® apparel from such a retailer for a test in 50 of its stores, which we shipped in September and October 2007. Since our concerted efforts failed to generate orders from a major customer, we discontinued marketing apparel bearing the Top-Flite® label in November 2007.

 

At June 30, 2007, we recorded a contingent liability of $178,000, and at December 31, 2007, we recorded an additional contingent liability of $2,000, with regard to minimum royalties due for calendar year 2007 in accordance with our license agreement for Top-Flite® branded apparel. In March 2008, we reached an agreement with Callaway to remove the Top-Flite® brand from the license agreement, effective January 1, 2008, whereby any unpaid minimum royalties due to Callaway as of December 31, 2007, with respect to Top-

NOTE 7             LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

As previously reported, in March 2007, Sport Haley and Reserve Apparel (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit in the District Court for the City and County of Denver in the State of Colorado. The suit alleges, among other things, that a former inventory broker to Reserve Apparel, 1130746 Ontario Ltd., a Canadian corporation incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada, d/b/a Originals Apparel Group Co., or Originals Apparel Group, and Francis Tat-Mo Chan (the “Defendants”), knowingly, wrongfully and without authorization converted Plaintiff’s funds. Among other things, the Plaintiffs alleged that the Defendants misapplied an inventory deposit of $291,000 paid to the Defendants in March 2006 by Sport Haley, which the Defendants used to offset certain amounts purportedly owed to the Defendants by Explorer Headgear, Inc., and that the Defendants failed to return $177,000 which was overpaid by Sport Haley as of July 2006. The Plaintiffs have alleged claims against the Defendants for conversion and violation of the Colorado civil theft statute as well as for unjust enrichment. Plaintiffs seek repayment of the $291,000 and $177,000 amounts and other relief. The Court approved the Defendants’ motion to continue the trial date, originally scheduled for May 2008, and rescheduled the trial to commence on September 23, 2008. Based upon information that is currently available, we cannot determine whether the decision or settlement of this lawsuit will materially affect our financial position or the results of our operations.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” and similar expressions, variations or the negative of these words, and any statement regarding possible or assumed future results of operations of our business, the markets for our products, anticipated expenditures, regulatory developments or competition, or other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. The reader should be aware that our actual results could differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements. Our financial condition and the results of our operations will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: our ability to successfully anticipate fashion trends, design favorably accepted fashion golf apparel, effectively advertise and communicate within the marketplace, and penetrate our chosen distribution channels; competition within golf apparel markets; business conditions and growth in the fashion golf apparel market and the general economy; our ability to successfully forecast sales and optimize inventory levels; our ability to successfully manage risks associated with a high relative percentage of sales with respect to licensed apparel, such as the Ben Hogan® apparel collections; loss of certain third party suppliers, and/or delays in receiving garments from third party suppliers caused by various factors, including lost or reduced manufacturing capacity of significant suppliers, labor shortages, timely performance of third parties, transportation difficulties, and others; significant delays in deliveries from third party suppliers; unsatisfactory recourse with regard to nonconforming goods received from foreign suppliers; political and international trade relations; changes in international trade quota systems for apparel; significant reliance upon several individual foreign suppliers; reliance upon a certain foreign person responsible for maintaining relationships with and monitoring the performance of certain of our significant foreign suppliers; consumer spending on golf apparel; general global economic and political conditions resulting from threats or acts of war or terrorism and responses thereto; access to capital; maintaining satisfactory relationships with commercial banking institutions; establishing controls with regard to and maintaining the integrity of technology and information systems; and, reliance upon executive officers and key employees. Additional information on these and other factors that could affect our financial results is included in the discussion below and in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007. There may be other factors not mentioned above, in the discussion below or included in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings that may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. The reader should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. Neither the Company nor any of its corporate officers or key employees assumes any obligation to update any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future event or development, except as required by securities laws.

 

All references to fiscal years are references to Sport Haley’s fiscal year, which ends on June 30.

 

OVERVIEW
 

Sport-Haley, Inc. designs, purchases or contracts for the manufacture of, markets and distributes women’s and men’s fashion golf apparel and outerwear under the SPORT HALEY® and Ben Hogan® labels. We are represented by a network of independent wholesale sales representatives, most of whom solicit sales of both SPORT HALEY® and Ben Hogan® fashion apparel collections on our behalf.

 

SPORT HALEY® fashion apparel is comprised almost exclusively of women’s garments and accessories, designed by utilizing classic styles with contemporary influences intended to develop and maintain brand recognition and loyalty, on or off the golf course. While each product in the SPORT

 

15



 

HALEY® apparel line is sold separately, the line is intentionally designed in groups with coordinated styles, color schemes and fabrics to encourage customers to purchase multiple garments. SPORT HALEY® women’s fashion apparel includes a variety of fabrics and weave patterns, including interlock, pique, French terry, jersey and twill, and may feature a unique trim, a special fabric finish or extra needlework. The SPORT HALEY® name has been highly recognized as a women’s fashion apparel brand within the premium and mid-priced golf apparel markets for over 20 years, in part, because of the cohesiveness of our design staff. Catherine B. Blair, our Vice President – Merchandising and Design, has provided direction for the SPORT HALEY® brand for over 14 years. Ms. Blair is keenly aware of fashion trends within the women’s golf apparel market and has kept our SPORT HALEY® fashion apparel collections on the leading edge of the market by including moisture wicking technical performance fabrics, such as Aerocool® and Dry-Tech® 18, and several leading edge, younger looking, athletic style garments, while maintaining the time-honored elegance of the SPORT HALEY® brand. Certain of our premium priced SPORT HALEY® garments are trimmed with Swarovski® Austrian cut crystals, the unique and patented cutting process which produces ultimate brilliance, and come with a “Made with Crystallized Swarovski® Elements” hangtag for authenticity. The technical performance fabrics, athletic style garments and Swarovski® trims have all been well received by our customers.

 

Ben Hogan® men’s fashion apparel is designed utilizing elegant time-honored classic styles intended to garner nearly instantaneous brand recognition. The Ben Hogan® label has been widely recognized within the golf apparel industry for several years for continually providing elegant men’s fashion golf apparel of impeccable quality in keeping with the image of Mr. Hogan. While each product in the Ben Hogan® apparel line is sold separately, the line is intentionally designed in groups with coordinated styles, color schemes and fabrics to encourage customers to purchase multiple garments. Ben Hogan® apparel is manufactured using a variety of fabrics, including wool, silk and cashmere, and weave patterns, including pique, jersey and twill, and most pieces feature a unique trim, a special fabric finish or extra needlework. Ben Hogan® men’s apparel is marketed in the premium-price markets to elite golf professional shops, upscale resorts and exclusive department stores. We distribute Ben Hogan® apparel pursuant to our license agreement with Callaway.

 

Top-Flite® branded golf apparel was designed for distribution to large retail stores in the low-price markets pursuant to our license agreement with Callaway. Branded apparel is generally produced in mass quantities and usually utilizes much simpler designs and is of much lesser quality than the fashion apparel garments which we sell in the premium and mid-priced markets. While our fashion golf apparel is generally designed for two separate selling seasons each year, branded golf apparel may be designed for four or more shorter selling periods each year. Reserve Apparel distributed Top-Flite® apparel exclusively to Wal-Mart from March 2006 through August 2006. However, in late September 2006, Reserve Apparel was notified that Wal-Mart had chosen to develop a line of golf apparel under a private label rather than to continue purchasing Top-Flite® branded apparel. We redesigned Top-Flite® branded apparel to include garments primarily comprised of a variety of performance fabrics, and we aggressively marketed the Top-Flite® apparel line to several mass retailers and big-box type high sales volume retail stores. While we expected our marketing efforts would result in the establishment of business relationships with one or more mass retailers and other big-box type high sales volume retail stores, we only received one order for Top-Flite® apparel from such a retailer for a test in 50 of its stores, which we shipped in September and October 2007. Since our concerted efforts failed to generate orders from a major customer, we discontinued marketing apparel bearing the Top-Flite® label in November 2007, and in March 2008 the license agreement with Callaway was amended to remove the Top-Flite® brand, effective January 1, 2008.

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, 2007. 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

 

Our 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. Excess fashion apparel inventories, consisting of discontinued or aging merchandise, are a natural component of a seasonal apparel business. While certain fashion apparel items will sell out in any particular selling season, quantities of other fashion apparel items will remain at the end of each selling season. We market excess fashion apparel 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 excess inventories. We perform analyses on a quarterly basis to identify unsold excess inventories and adjust our reserves for inventory obsolescence to reduce the carrying value of excess inventories to their estimated net realizable value, which is estimated based on management’s disposition plans and historical experiences. Because branded apparel is generally produced in quantities to fulfill specific customer orders, branded apparel inventories are generally not prone to impairment unless a customer cancels an order after production has begun and an alternative customer cannot be located to purchase the merchandise at a price in excess of its cost.

 

We recorded impairments of $5,000 and $159,000 with regard to fashion apparel inventories for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2008, respectively. Comparatively, we recorded impairments of $4,000 and $126,000 with regard to fashion apparel inventories for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2007, respectively. We recorded impairments of $0 and $20,000 with regard to branded apparel for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2008, respectively, due to a customer’s cancellation of a replenishment order. Comparatively, we did not record an impairment with regard to branded apparel inventories during the three months or nine months ended March 31, 2007.

 

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 maintain 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and based upon a review at March 31, 2008, 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 sustained profitability, 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 and anticipated customer performance. From time to time, we also identify delinquent customer accounts for which a specific reserve is required. At March 31, 2008, our allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $216,000, including a specific reserve of $116,000 with respect to the potential non-recovery of a net amount due to Reserve Apparel from a former inventory broker. 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.

 

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 various customers the right to return certain fashion apparel 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, 2008, our allowance for sales returns was $139,000. Significant changes in general economic or industry conditions may yield sales returns that differ materially from our estimates.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The golf apparel business is highly seasonal in nature, and the balance sheet amounts as of March 31, 2008, may be more meaningful when compared with the amounts as of March 31, 2007, rather than with the amounts at June 30, 2007.

 

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

 

18



 

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 $189,000, or 6%, to $2,877,000 at March 31, 2008, from $3,066,000 at June 30, 2007. When compared with the March 31, 2007, balance, our net accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2008, decreased by $961,000, or 25%, from $3,838,000, while net sales for the comparable periods decreased by 10%, from $5,273,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, to $4,751,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. We attribute the balance of the decrease between the March 31 balances to our concerted efforts to further shorten our accounts receivable collection cycles. For the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, changes in our accounts receivable balances and related allowances provided operating cash of $189,000 and $112,000, respectively.

 

Our fashion apparel inventories increased by $979,000, or 17%, from $5,814,000 at June 30, 2007, to $6,793,000 at March 31, 2007. Our fashion apparel inventories generally increase during our fiscal quarter ended March 31 each year when compared with the June 30 balance in the prior fiscal year. We generally receive a substantial amount of fashion apparel inventories at or near the end of our March 31 fiscal quarter each year in order to fulfill customer orders for the fall/holiday season that we begin shipping in early May each year. When compared with the balance of $5,400,000 at March 31, 2007, our inventories at March 31, 2008, increased by $1,396,000, or 26%, primarily due to increases in advance orders for our SPORT HALEY® women’s fashion apparel between the respective spring selling seasons and lower than expected orders for our Ben Hogan® men’s fashion apparel for the spring 2008 and fall 2007 selling seasons. We expect to sell a large portion of our excess fall 2007 Ben Hogan® fashion apparel inventories at a warehouse sale that we are conducting during the month of May 2008 at our distribution facility. We anticipate that we will sell our excess Ben Hogan® inventories at prices at least equal to cost at either our warehouse sale or to alternative markets and have valued those inventories accordingly at March 31, 2008. Our branded apparel inventories increased by $3,000, or 100%, from $0 at June 30, 2007, to $3,000 at March 31, 2008. Branded apparel inventories were $0 at March 31, 2007. Our finished goods inventories also may fluctuate from period to period due to the timing associated with the delivery of ocean shipments, generally with terms of free on board at the port of departure. Pending ocean deliveries of finished goods at March 31, 2008, June 30, 2007, and March 31, 2007, totaled approximately $692,000, $1,255,000 and $1,168,000 respectively. Changes in our inventory balances used operating cash of $982,000 and $625,000 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 a certain foreign person and certain significant 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 liabilities decreased by $983,000, or 41%, at March 31, 2008, to $1,406,000 from $2,389,000 at June 30, 2007. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $408,000, or 22%, from $1,814,000 at March 31, 2007. The decrease of $408,000 when comparing the balance at March 31, 2008, with the balance at March 31, 2007, was comprised of changes in various liability categories. Our accounts payable with regard to fashion apparel were $532,000 at March 31,

 

19



 

2008, a decrease of $246,000, or 32%, when compared with accounts payable of $778,000 at March 31, 2007. The $246,000 decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in pending ocean deliveries of finished goods discussed above. Our accrued payroll expenses were $113,000 at March 31, 2008, a decrease of $140,000, or 55%, from accrued payroll expenses of $253,000 at March 31, 2007. Included in accrued payroll expenses at March 31, 2007, was the balance of $162,000 in severance and other compensation payable to our former chief executive officer. Comparatively, at March 31, 2008, accrued payroll expenses included the balance of $0 in severance and other compensation payable to our former chief executive officer and the balance of $46,000 in severance and other compensation payable to one of our former regional sales managers.

 

Commitments and contingencies decreased by $140,000, or 79%, at March 31, 2008, to $38,000 from $178,000 at June 31, 2007. We had no commitments and contingencies recorded at March 31, 2007. At June 30, 2007, we recorded a contingent liability of $178,000, and at December 31, 2007, we recorded an additional contingent liability of $2,000, with regard to minimum royalties due for calendar year 2007 in accordance with our license agreement for Top-Flite® branded apparel. In March 2008, we reached an agreement with Callaway to remove the Top-Flite® brand from the license agreement, effective January 1, 2008, whereby any unpaid minimum royalties due to Callaway as of December 31, 2007, with respect to Top-Flite® apparel were extinguished and forgiven. In March 2008, we reversed the contingent liability with regard to Top-Flite® minimum royalties and recorded miscellaneous income of $178,000 and we recorded a contingent liability of $38,000 with regard to calendar year 2008 minimum royalties due as of March 31, 2008, in accordance with our license agreement for Ben Hogan® fashion apparel.

 

Due to the combination of the factors discussed above, and others, during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2008, our operating activities used cash of $2,431,000. Comparatively, during the nine months ended March 31, 2007, our operating activities used cash of $2,213,000.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, investing activities used cash of $7,000. Comparatively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, investing activities used cash of $414,000. As previously reported, on September 21, 2006, Sport Haley entered into an agreement with Explorer Gear to purchase its 49% ownership interest in Reserve Apparel for a lump sum cash payment of $375,000, since which time Reserve Apparel has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sport Haley. During the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we expended $7,000 and $39,000, respectively, for the purchase of property and equipment, and $157,000 and $202,000, respectively, 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, 2008, provides for an amended maximum loan amount of $2,000,000, collateralized by a certificate of deposit held at the commercial bank in the amount of $2,000,000, which earns a market rate of interest. 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. Borrowings under the amended line of credit agreement accrue interest at 1.250% plus the one-month LIBOR rate. Prior to its most recent amendment, the revolving line of credit agreement provided for a maximum loan amount of $3,000,000 and interest accrued on borrowings at the bank’s prime rate. Balances due on the line of credit were $500,000 and $0 at March 31, 2008 or 2007, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, we borrowed $1,850,000 under the letter of credit agreement to fund temporary working capital needs, and our repayments during the nine-month period totaled $1,350,000. We had no borrowings or repayments under the line of credit during the nine months ended March 31, 2007. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, we had $312,000 and $810,000, respectively, in outstanding letters of credit that were issued to foreign

 

20



 

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.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, financing activities provided cash of $500,000. Comparatively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, financing activities used cash of $2,332,000. As previously reported, we commenced a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer to purchase shares of our common stock on January 3, 2007. On February 8, 2007, we transferred $2,332,000 to fund the purchase of 485,762 shares of our common stock at a price of $4.80 per share. Since the completion of the tender offer, we have had 2,284,490 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

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 2008. While we also have alternative sources of financing, including the factoring of customer accounts receivable, we do not anticipate using alternative sources of financing during the remainder of fiscal 2008. However, our capital needs will depend on many factors, including the need to finance required inventory levels, the success of current sales and marketing programs, timely collections of trade accounts receivable and various other factors.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Fashion apparel

 

Our fashion apparel 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 of fashion apparel for the three months ended March 31, 2008, were $4,740,000, a decrease of $533,000, or 10%, from net fashion apparel sales of $5,273,000 for the comparable three-month period in the prior fiscal year. Net sales of fashion apparel for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, were $12,532,000, a decrease of $419,000, or 3%, from net fashion apparel sales of $12,951,000 for the comparable nine-month period in the prior fiscal year. The decreases in sales of fashion apparel for the three and nine-month periods were primarily comprised of increases in sales of SPORT HALEY® fashion apparel that were more than offset with decreases in sales of Ben Hogan® fashion apparel between the respective periods. Net sales of our SPORT HALEY® fashion apparel collections were $2,196,000 and $5,945,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, respectively, increases of $350,000, or 19%, and $920,000, or 18%, from net sales of $1,846,000 and $5,025,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. Net sales of our Ben Hogan® fashion apparel collections were $2,397,000 and $6,185,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, respectively, decreases of $872,000, or 27%, and $1,307,000, or 17%, from net sales of $3,269,000 and $7,492,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. The remainder of our fashion apparel net sales was comprised of embroidery and shipping revenues. Markets for women’s fashion golf apparel appear to have somewhat flattened out, because we are now experiencing slight percentage decreases in advance orders for the SPORT HALEY® women’s collections with respect to our fall 2008 selling season. We consider Ben Hogan® fashion apparel, which is marketed in accordance with a licensing agreement we maintain with Callaway for such apparel, to be a key component of our fashion apparel business. We attribute the decrease in Ben Hogan® fashion apparel sales primarily to dramatic changes in the country club and resort markets in which we operate. Historically, the country club and resort markets preferred to sell high-quality apparel that was not broadly distributed within other retail markets. However, with the introduction and favorable market acceptance of moisture-

 

21



 

wicking and other performance garments within golf apparel markets, country clubs and resorts have begun to carry apparel brands such as Nike and Adidas, which are primarily comprised of performance fabrics and are globally distributed into numerous markets other than country clubs and resorts. We believe that the broad penetration of Nike and Adidas into golf apparel markets has diluted the value associated with the exclusivity of brands such as our Ben Hogan® fashion apparel, at least on a temporary basis. In order to bolster future sales of Ben Hogan® fashion apparel, we have focused our marketing efforts on increasing our market presence in upscale retail stores and on penetrating further into corporate markets. However, we expect that our efforts will not generate sales within the other markets for our Ben Hogan® fashion apparel which are sufficient to offset the sales we have lost within the country club and resort market, at least over the near term, and that decreases in sales of Ben Hogan® fashion apparel will continue throughout our fall 2008 selling season.

 

The valuation of inventories, when the market price for such inventories is lower than cost, 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 fashion apparel inventories on hand at March 31, 2008, were predominantly comprised of spring 2008 and fall 2008 SPORT HALEY® collections and fall 2007, spring 2008 and fall 2008 Ben Hogan® collections. We anticipate that we will begin shipping our fall 2008 fashion apparel inventories in May 2008. Comparatively, our fashion apparel inventories on hand at March 31, 2007, were predominantly comprised of spring 2007 and fall 2007 SPORT HALEY® and Ben Hogan® collections. We expect to sell a large portion of our excess fall 2007 Ben Hogan® fashion apparel inventories at a warehouse sale that we are conducting during the month of May 2008 at our distribution facility. We anticipate that we will sell our excess Ben Hogan® inventories at prices at least equal to cost at either our warehouse sale or to alternative markets and have valued those inventories accordingly at March 31, 2008. Gross profit with regard to our fashion apparel was negatively impacted by $5,000 and $159,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, respectively, by the adjustment of our finished goods inventories to the lower of cost or market. Comparatively, gross profit with regard to our fashion apparel was negatively impacted by $4,000 and $126,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, by similar lower of cost or market adjustments.

 

Gross profit with regard to our fashion apparel is also 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. Within the past six months, we have begun selling excess Ben Hogan® fashion apparel inventories to alternative markets at higher prices than are offered in the markets we have previously utilized in order to minimize the negative impact on gross profit associated with the valuation of excess inventories. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded net sales of $530,000 and profit of $9,000, which included net sales $143,000 and profit of $7,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, with regard to sales of excess inventories for SPORT HALEY® and Ben Hogan® fashion apparel collections for our fall 2007 selling season. Comparatively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded net sales of $543,000 and loss of $176,000, which included net sales $177,000 and loss of $33,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007, with regard to sales of excess inventories for SPORT HALEY® and Ben Hogan® fashion apparel collections for our fall 2006 selling season.

 

As a percentage of net sales, gross margin of our fashion apparel, was 38% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and 35% for the same three-month period in the prior fiscal year. Gross margin of our

 

22



 

fashion apparel, as a percentage of net sales, was 38% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2008, and 36% for the comparable nine-month period in the prior fiscal year. 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 our production costs plus a portion of our distribution costs, such as receiving and inspection 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. We include royalty payments, relating to sales of licensed apparel, in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses with regard to fashion apparel increased by $45,000, or 2%, to $1,897,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $1,852,000 for the comparable three-month period in the prior fiscal year. Selling, general and administrative expenses with regard to fashion apparel increased by $82,000, or 2%, to $5,140,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, from $5,058,000 for the comparable nine-month period in the prior fiscal year. The comparative increase for the nine-month period was in general due to our accrual of $55,000 in severance compensation due to one of our former regional sales managers. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses with regard to our fashion apparel were 40% and 41%, and 35% and 39%, for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

We recorded royalty expense of $181,000 and $196,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and $438,000 and $494,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, with regard to net sales of fashion apparel, respectively. Royalty expense is due to Callaway in accordance with the license they previously granted us to market men’s fashion apparel bearing the Ben Hogan® label. In accordance with the license agreement for Ben Hogan® fashion apparel, our royalty expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008, included an accrual of $38,000 with regard to minimum quarterly royalties due to Callaway for calendar year 2008.

 

Income (loss) from operations with regard to fashion apparel for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was ($266,000), a difference of ($83,000), or (45%), from ($183,000) for the comparable three-month period in the prior fiscal year. Primarily because of significant expenses associated with our annual participation in the PGA tradeshow, which is generally held at or near the end of January each year, historically, we have not generated income from fashion apparel operations during the three months ended March 31 in any given fiscal year. Income (loss) from operations with regard to fashion apparel for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, was ($809,000), an improvement of $121,000 or 13%, from ($930,000) for the comparable nine-month period in the prior fiscal year.

 

Branded apparel

 

We previously considered Top-Flite® branded apparel, which we marketed pursuant to our licensing agreement with Callaway for such apparel, to be a key component in our overall business strategies, designed to return the Company to sustained profitability. Net sales of Top-Flite® branded apparel of $11,000 and $158,000 for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2007, respectively, were comprised of shipments to a retailer for a test in 50 of its stores and the disposition of inventories related to the cancellation by that retailer of a portion of its original purchase order. Net sales of Top-Flite® branded apparel of $1,185,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, were comprised of sales to Wal-Mart of $1,000,000 and sales of $185,000 to other markets with regard to the disposition of inventories related to cancellations of purchase orders by Wal-Mart. We shipped Top-Flite® branded apparel to Wal-Mart from March 2006 through August 2006, after which we were notified that Wal-Mart

 

23



 

had chosen to develop its own private label for golf apparel and discontinue selling Top-Flite® apparel. We redesigned Top-Flite® branded apparel to include garments primarily comprised of a variety of performance fabrics, and we aggressively marketed Top-Flite® apparel to several mass retailers and big-box type high sales volume retail stores. We expected our marketing efforts would result in the establishment of business relationships with one or more mass retailers and other big-box type high sales volume retail stores. However, we only received one order for Top-Flite® apparel from such a retailer for a test in 50 of its stores, which we shipped in September and October 2007. Since our concerted efforts failed to generate orders from a major customer, we discontinued marketing apparel bearing the Top-Flite® label in November 2007, and in March 2008 the license agreement was amended to remove the Top-Flite® brand, effective January 1, 2008.

 

Our distribution of Top-Flite® branded apparel to the mass retail market generally generated gross margins lower than those expected to be achieved in the premium and mid-price markets where we distribute our SPORT HALEY® and Ben Hogan® fashion apparel brands. Branded apparel is generally sold at much lower prices than for higher quality fashion apparel, and gross margins are also expected to be lower for branded apparel than for fashion apparel. Other companies within the golf apparel industry may or may not operate within the lower-price branded apparel markets. Gross profit with regard to our branded apparel has generally not been affected by dispositions of excess inventories at reduced sales prices and the valuation of excess inventories to the lower of cost or market, because we generally purchased quantities of branded apparel in amounts equal to quantities ordered by specific customers. However, since we generally purchased quantities sufficient to fulfill initial and anticipated replenishment orders, in certain instances we were left with excess branded apparel inventories when a customer canceled a replenishment order. A disposition of excess branded apparel inventories negatively impacted our gross profit percentage even when such inventories were properly valued to the lower of cost or market, because such valuation caused sales to be recorded with gross profit at or near zero. For the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded impairments of $0 and $20,000, respectively, with regard to the valuation of excess branded apparel inventories to the lower of cost or market. Comparatively, for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2007, we did not record any impairments with regard to the valuation of excess branded apparel inventories to the lower of cost or market. As percentage of net sales, gross profit of our branded apparel, was (55%) and 0%, and 0% and 25%, for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,000 and $132,000 with regard to branded apparel for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2008, decreases of $91,000, or 96%, and $169,000, or 56%, from $95,000 and $301,000 for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. The decreases primarily related to differences between the comparable periods in allocated management and personnel costs, which totaled $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 versus $65,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007, and $77,000 in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2008, versus $257,000 in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in allocated management costs related to changes in the ownership of Reserve Apparel and the loss of the Wal-Mart account. Prior to our purchase of the minority interest in Reserve Apparel from Explorer Gear in September 2006, allocated management costs included a portion of Sport Haley’s costs with regard to managing Reserve Apparel and certain reimbursable expenses incurred by Explorer Gear on behalf of Reserve Apparel. Because Wal-Mart ceased purchasing Top-Flite® branded apparel from us shortly after we purchased the minority interest, the business operations of Reserve Apparel were significantly reduced and we discontinued our allocation of Sport Haley management costs to Reserve Apparel, effective October 1, 2006. From October 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007, personnel costs allocated to our branded apparel operations consisted of salaries and benefits paid to an executive Sport Haley hired in November 2006 primarily to market Top-Flite® apparel on behalf of Reserve Apparel. We stopped

 

24



 

allocating personnel costs to Reserve Apparel in November 2007, when we discontinued marketing Top-Flite® branded apparel altogether. As a percentage of net branded apparel sales, related selling, general and administrative expenses were 84% and 25% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

We recorded royalty expense of ($2,000) and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and $9,000 and $64,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, with respect to net sales of branded apparel, respectively. Royalty expense is due to Callaway in accordance with the license they previously granted us to market branded apparel bearing the Top-Flite® label. At June 30, 2007, we recorded a contingent liability of $178,000, and at December 31, 2007, we recorded an additional contingent liability of $2,000, with regard to minimum royalties due for calendar year 2007 in accordance with our license agreement for Top-Flite® branded apparel. In March 2008, we reached an agreement with Callaway to remove the Top-Flite® brand from the license agreement, effective January 1, 2008, whereby any unpaid minimum royalties due to Callaway as of December 31, 2007, with respect to Top-Flite® apparel were extinguished and forgiven. Therefore, in March 2008, we reversed the contingent liability with regard to Top-Flite® minimum royalties and recorded miscellaneous income of $178,000.

 

Income (loss) from operations with regard to branded apparel for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was ($8,000), an improvement of $87,000, or 92%, from ($95,000) for the comparable three-month period in the prior fiscal year. Income (loss) from operations with regard to branded apparel for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, was ($141,000), a difference of ($76,000) or (117%), from ($65,000) for the comparable nine-month period in the prior fiscal year.

 

Other income

 

Other income, net, was $196,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $125,000, or 176%, from $71,000 for the comparable three-month period in the prior fiscal year. Other income, net, was $276,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $43,000, or 36%, from $233,000 for the comparable nine-month period in the prior fiscal year. Other income, net for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2008, primarily consisted of miscellaneous income of $178,000 with regard to the extinguishment and forgiveness of minimum royalties related to the removal of the Top-Flite® brand from our license agreement with Callaway and from interest earned on cash and cash equivalent balances held at various financial institutions. The increases were partially offset by lower rates of interest earned on lower balances of cash and cash equivalents during the respective periods. In February 2007, we expended $2,332,000 to repurchase shares of our common stock, thereby substantially reducing our cash and cash equivalents.

 

Net income (loss)

 

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was ($80,000), an improvement of $138,000, or 63%, as compared with the net loss of ($218,000) for the comparable three-month period in the prior fiscal year. Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, was ($683,000), an improvement of $153,000, or 18%, as compared with the net loss of ($836,000) for the comparable nine-month period in the prior fiscal year. We had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $7.5 million and $9.7 million at March 31, 2008, that we estimated may be recoverable at income tax rates of 34% and 5%, respectively. In accordance with SFAS 109 and based upon a review at March 31, 2008, 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 finding additional markets for our SPORT HALEY® and Ben Hogan® fashion

apparel brands, 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, we did not record benefits from income taxes associated with the corresponding losses for the respective nine-month period ended March 31, 2008.

 

Earnings (loss) per share

 

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share were ($0.09) and ($0.07) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share were ($0.31) and ($0.23) for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. All securities options were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the per share calculations with respect to periods in which net losses were incurred.

 

Book value

 

Our book value per common share was $4.68 at March 31, 2008, $4.98 at June 30, 2007 and $5.19 at March 31, 2007.

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, 2008, we have not used derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities. Our market risk has not changed significantly from December 31, 2007.

 

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 $2,000,000 collateralized by a certificate of deposit held at the commercial bank in the amount of $2,000,000, which earns a market rate of interest. Borrowings under the line of credit agreement accrue interest at 1.250% plus the one-month LIBOR rate. 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 had $500,000 outstanding in net borrowings under the line of credit at March 31, 2008. Increases in the one-month LIBOR rate could increase the interest expense with respect to 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 totaling $312,000 at March 31, 2008. 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. Our cash balances held at financial institutions regularly exceed federally insured limits.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our 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, was made known to management in a timely manner; and (b) information was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations.

 

(b)   Changes in Internal Controls

 

During our third quarter of fiscal 2008, we did not institute any significant changes in internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Our management, including the 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 our 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 have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of 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.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In March 2007, Sport Haley and Reserve Apparel (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit in the District Court for the City and County of Denver in the State of Colorado. The suit alleges, among other things, that a former inventory broker to Reserve Apparel, 1130746 Ontario Ltd., a Canadian corporation incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada, d/b/a Originals Apparel Group Co., or Originals Apparel Group, and Francis Tat-Mo Chan (the “Defendants”), knowingly, wrongfully and without authorization converted Plaintiff’s funds. Among other things, the Plaintiffs alleged that the Defendants misapplied an inventory deposit of $291,000 paid to the Defendants in March 2006 by Sport Haley, which the Defendants used to offset certain amounts purportedly owed to the Defendants by Explorer Headgear, Inc., and that the Defendants failed to return $177,000 which was overpaid by Sport Haley as of July 2006. The Plaintiffs have alleged claims against the Defendants for conversion and violation of the Colorado civil theft statute as well as for unjust enrichment. Plaintiffs seek repayment of the $291,000 and $177,000 amounts and other relief. The Court approved the Defendants’ motion to continue the trial date, originally scheduled for May 2008, and rescheduled the trial to commence on September 23, 2008.
