Segment
Information
The
Company continues to operate in two operating segments: wholesale
distribution and retail sales of men’s footwear, which also constitute its
reportable
segments. None of the Company’s operating segments were aggregated in
determining
the Company’s reportable segments. The chief operating decision
maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance
of
its
segments based on earnings from operations and accordingly, interest
income
and interest expense and other income or expense are not allocated to the
segments.
Summarized segment data for the three and six months ended June
30,
2007 and 2006 was:

Share-Based
Compensation Plans
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards
(SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” (SFAS 123(R)) using the modified
prospective method. This method requires that companies recognize compensation
expense for new grants and the unvested portion of prior grants at their
fair
value on the grant date and recognize this expense over the requisite service
period for awards expected to vest. During the three and six months ended
June
30, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $74,400 and $148,400,
respectively, of compensation expense associated with the stock option
and
restricted stock awards granted in 2006. No stock-based employee compensation
expense was charged against income in the three and six months ended June
30,
2006, as there were no stock options granted during that period and all
of the
Company’s stock options granted prior to the effective date of the adoption of
SFAS 123(R) were 100% vested at the effective date.
The
following table summarizes the stock option activity under the Company’s equity
incentive plans for the six-month period ended June 30,
2007:

New
Accounting Pronouncements
On
January 1, 2007 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB)
Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). This Interpretation
clarifies the accounting and disclosures for uncertainty in tax positions.
FIN
48 provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be
recognized in the Company’s financial statements only if the position is more
likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits
of
the position. Under FIN 48, the cumulative effect is reported as an adjustment
to the beginning balance of retained earnings on the balance sheet. The adoption
of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements. At June 30, 2007 the Company had approximately $180,000 of
unrecognized tax benefits.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” to
define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about
fair
value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 14, 2007, the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. The
Company is assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on
its
consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits an entity to measure certain
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value and also establishes
presentation and disclosure requirements. SFAS 159 is effective as of the
beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007.
The Company is assessing the provisions of SFAS 159 and the impact that adoption
will have on its financial statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
OVERVIEW
The
Company is a distributor of men’s casual, dress and fashion shoes. The principal
brands of shoes sold by the Company are “Florsheim,” “Nunn Bush,” and “Stacy
Adams.” The Company also has other brands, including “Brass Boot” and “Nunn Bush
NXXT,” which are included within Nunn Bush net sales figures, and “SAO by Stacy
Adams,” which is included within Stacy Adams net sales. Inventory is purchased
from third-party overseas manufacturers. The majority of foreign-sourced
purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars. In the wholesale division, the
Company’s products are sold to shoe specialty stores, department stores and
clothing retailers, primarily in North America, with some distribution in
Europe. The Company also has a retail division, which as of June 30, 2007,
consisted of 35 Company-owned
retail stores in the United States, four in Europe, and an Internet business.
Sales in retail outlets are made directly to consumers by Company employees.
The
Company also has licensing agreements with third parties who sell its branded
shoes overseas, as well as licensing agreements with apparel and accessory
manufacturers in the United States. As such, the Company’s results are primarily
affected by the economic conditions and the retail environment in the United
States.
Overall,
net earnings rose 11% in the second quarter of 2007 to $4.0 million, or $.34
per
diluted share compared with $3.6 million, or $.30 per diluted share in the
same
period of 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net earnings were
$9.7
million, or $.81 per diluted share, over the prior year’s $9.0 million, or $.74
per diluted share. A detailed analysis of operating results
follows.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated
net sales in the second quarter of 2007 were $48.4 million, up from $45.1
million in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, consolidated
net sales increased to $112.2 million from $104.4 million in 2006. Sales
in the
Company’s wholesale division for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30,
2007 and 2006 were as follows:

The
acquisition of one of the Company’s significant customers by another retailer
late in 2005 resulted in some loss of sales volume at Nunn Bush and Florsheim
during 2006 and the first half of 2007. The acquiring company decided not
to go
forward with either the Nunn Bush or Florsheim product lines in its stores.
Business with this customer in the second quarter of 2007 was down $600,000
compared with the second quarter of 2006. For the six months ended June 30,
2007, business with this customer was down $2.9 million compared to the prior
year period.
Net
sales
of the Stacy Adams brand decreased this quarter in comparison with the second
quarter of 2006. Second quarter sales of Stacy Adams were down due to an
early
Easter in 2007, and also due to decreased volume with independent shoe and
clothing retailers, who are struggling in today’s retail environment.
Year-to-date sales increased slightly in comparison to last year, as business
with major chain stores has been strong this year, offsetting the decreased
volume with the independent shoe and clothing retailers.
Nunn
Bush
sales for the second quarter were up compared with last year due to increased
business with department stores and larger shoe store chains, which can be
attributed to the success of its Comfort Gel product. For the six months
ended
June 30, 2007, net sales were up only 1.5% due to the offsetting impact of
the
loss of $1.9 million of sales to the customer discussed above.
Florsheim
sales in the current quarter were up 23%, as this quarter’s sales included
Canadian sales. Prior to January 1, 2007, Florsheim footwear was distributed
in
Canada by a third party licensee. That license arrangement terminated December
31, 2006, and since then, the Company has been operating its own wholesale
business in Canada. The impact of this change in the second quarter was an
increase of $1.2 million in sales. Florsheim net sales increased 21% through
June 30, 2007, compared to the same period of 2006. To date, 2007 sales included
$2.3 million of Canadian sales, but were negatively impacted by the $1 million
loss of business to the customer discussed above. The change in Canadian
distributors reduced licensing revenues by $75,000 and $125,000 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2007. For both the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 2007, Canadian sales accounted for approximately half the increase
in
Florsheim sales. The remaining increase resulted from increased sales to
department stores and chains.
Overall
gross earnings as a percent of net sales for the three months ended June
30,
2007 was 38.6% compared with 38.7% in the prior year period. Wholesale gross
earnings as a percent of net sales for the quarter was 31.8% in 2007 compared
with 32.2% in 2006. Gross earnings as a percent of net sales in the retail
division was 67.3% in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 66.4% in
2006.
Overall
gross earnings as a percent of net sales for the six months ended June 30,
2007
was 37.2% compared with 36.9% in 2006. Wholesale gross earnings as a percent
of
net sales for the six months ended June 30 was 31.3% in 2007 and 31.0% in
2006.
Retail gross earnings as a percent of net sales for the first half of this
year
was 66.5% and 65.6% last year. Wholesale margins for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007 were consistent with the prior year. The Company is
beginning to feel pricing pressures from its overseas suppliers due to the
weakening dollar and increased labor and materials costs. Going forward,
the
Company will focus on carefully managing its costs and pricing structure
in
order to maintain margins.
-8-
The
Company’s cost of sales does not include distribution costs (e.g., receiving,
inspection or warehousing costs). The Company’s distribution costs for the
three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, were approximately
$1,564,000 and $3,281,000 in 2007, respectively, and $1,531,000 and $3,173,000
in 2006, respectively, and were included in selling and administrative expenses.
Therefore, the Company’s gross earnings may not be comparable to other
companies, as some companies may include distribution costs in cost of sales.
The
Company’s selling and administrative expenses include, and are primarily related
to, distribution costs, salaries and commissions, advertising costs, employee
benefit costs, rent and depreciation. In the current quarter, selling and
administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 26.4% versus 26.6%
in
2006. Wholesale selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net
wholesale sales were 22.3% in 2007 and 22.6% in 2006. Retail selling and
administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 50.8% in 2007 and
52.3%
in 2006.
For
the
six months ended June 30, selling and administrative expenses as a percent
of
net sales were 24.2% in 2007 versus 23.8% in 2006. Wholesale selling and
administrative expenses as a percent of net wholesale sales to date were
20.2%
in 2007 and 20.1% in 2006. Retail selling and administrative expenses as
a
percent of net sales increased to 52.9% in 2007 from 50.9% in 2006.
Net
interest income in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 was up
over
last year $70,000 and $172,000, respectively, due to this year’s higher
investment in marketable securities, which are primarily invested in municipal
bonds, and lower short-term borrowings.
The
effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was 36.5%
and 36.9%, respectively, which was down compared with 38.2% and 37.7%,
respectively, in the prior year periods. The effective rate was down this
year,
primarily due to increased municipal bond interest.
LIQUIDITY
& CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
Company’s primary source of liquidity is its cash and short-term marketable
securities, which aggregated approximately $20.8 million at June 30, 2007
as
compared with $16.9 million at December 31, 2006. During the first six months
of
2007, the Company’s primary source of cash was from operations while its primary
uses of cash were the repayment of borrowings and the repurchases of the
Company’s stock. The Company also spent $1.2 million on capital expenditures in
the first half of 2007. Capital expenditures are expected to be between $3
and
$4 million for the full year of 2007 due to remodeling of retail stores and
the
opening of new stores.
The
Company generated $19.3 million in cash from operating activities in the
first
six months of 2007, compared with $6.0 million in the prior year period.
This
increase was primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities
and
higher net earnings in 2007.
-9-
Cash
dividends paid were $2.1 million and $1.6 million in the six months ended
June
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. On May 1, 2007, the Company’s Board of
Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.11 per share to shareholders
of
record June 1, 2007, payable July 2, 2007. This represents an increase of
22% in
the quarterly dividend rate. The impact of this will be to increase cash
dividends paid annually by approximately $900,000.
The
Company continues to repurchase its common stock under its share repurchase
program when the Company believes market conditions are favorable. In the
first
half of 2007, the Company repurchased 282,699 shares for a total cost of
$7.3
million.
As
of
June 30, 2007, the Company had a total of $50 million available under its
borrowing facility, of which total borrowings were $5.6 million. The facility
includes one financial covenant which specifies a minimum level of net worth.
The Company was in compliance with the covenant at June 30, 2007. The facility
has a 364-day term and expires on April 30, 2008.
The
Company will continue to evaluate the best uses for its free cash, including
continued increased dividends, stock repurchases and acquisitions. The Company
currently has 1.0 million shares available under its previously announced
buyback program.
On
July
1, 2007, all of the Company’s outstanding Class B Common stock converted,
one-for-one, into the Company’s Common stock.
The
Company believes that available cash and marketable securities, cash provided
by
operations, and available borrowing facilities will provide adequate support
for
the cash needs of the business in 2007.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In
April
1998, the Company first authorized a stock repurchase program to purchase
1,500,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions at prevailing
prices. In April 2000 and again in May 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors
extended the stock repurchase program to cover the repurchase of 1,500,000
additional shares. Therefore, 4,500,000 shares have been authorized for
repurchase since the program began. The table below presents information
pursuant to Item 703(a) of Regulation S-K regarding the repurchase of the
Company’s Common Stock by the Company in the three-month period ended June 30,
