CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Our Securities and Exchange Commission filings and public announcements often include forward-looking statements about future events. We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Important assumptions relating to these forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, expected pricing levels, raw material costs, the timing and cost of planned capital expenditures, expected outcomes of pending litigation or regulatory actions, competitive conditions, general economic conditions and expected synergies in connection with acquisitions and joint ventures. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. These beliefs and assumptions could prove inaccurate. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond our ability to control or predict. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
    general economic cycles;
 
    competitive conditions in our industry;
 
    price deflation in the worldwide apparel industry;
 
    our ability to identify and respond to rapidly changing fashion trends and to offer innovative and distinctive products;
 
    changes in trade quotas or other trade regulations;
 
    our ability to continue to finance our working capital and growth on acceptable terms;
 
    unseasonable weather or natural disasters;
 
    the price and availability of raw materials and finished goods;
 
    the impact of rising energy costs on our costs and consumer spending;
 
    our dependence on and relationships with key customers;
 
    consolidation among our customer base;
 
    the ability of our third party producers to deliver quality products in a timely manner;
 
    potential disruptions in the operation of our distribution facilities;
 
    any disruption or failure of our computer systems or data networks;
 
    the integration of our acquired businesses;
 
    our ability to successfully implement our growth plans, including growth by acquisition;
 
    unforeseen liabilities associated with our acquisitions;
 
    unforeseen costs associated with entry into and exit from certain lines of business;
 
    economic and political conditions in the foreign countries in which we operate or source our products;
 
    increased competition from direct sourcing;
 
    our ability to maintain our licenses;
 
    our ability to protect and exploit our intellectual property and prevent our trademarks, service marks and goodwill from being harmed by competitors’ products;
 
    our reliance on key management and our ability to develop effective succession plans;
 
    our ability to develop and maintain an effective organization structure;
 
    risks associated with changes in global currency exchange rates;
 
    changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt;
 
    the impact of labor disputes, wars or acts of terrorism on our business;
 
    the effectiveness of our internal controls and disclosure controls related to financial reporting;
 
    our ability to maintain current pricing on our products given competitive or other factors; and
 
    our ability to expand our retail operations.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are current as of the date this report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We disclaim any intention, obligation or duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Other risks or uncertainties may be detailed from time to time in our future Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

OXFORD INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2006
1.   Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We believe our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year primarily due to the impact of seasonality on our business. The accounting policies applied during the interim periods presented are consistent with the significant and critical accounting policies as described in our fiscal 2005 Form 10-K. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and financial statements and notes thereto included in our fiscal 2005 Form 10-K.
 
    As used in this report, “our,” “us,” “we” and similar phrases refer to Oxford Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Additionally, as used in this report, “fiscal 2005,” “fiscal 2006” and “fiscal 2007” refer to our fiscal years ended or ending on June 3, 2005, June 2, 2006 and June 1, 2007, respectively. Also, as used in this report, “first quarter of fiscal 2006,” “first quarter of fiscal 2005,” “third quarter of fiscal 2006” and “third quarter of fiscal 2005” refer to our fiscal quarters ended on September 2, 2005, August 26, 2004, March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively. As used in this report, “nine months of fiscal 2006” and “nine months of fiscal 2005” refer to the nine months ended March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively.
 
    Certain amounts in the prior periods’ financial statements, as previously reported, have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications primarily relate to certain costs of our Ben Sherman Limited (“Ben Sherman”) operations to provide consistency in classification between net sales, cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings as previously reported.
 
    American Jobs Creation Act of 2004
 
    In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) was enacted. Among other provisions, the Act provides for a special one-time tax deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated in either an enterprise’s last tax year that began before the enactment date or the first tax year that begins during the one-year period beginning on the date of enactment. As a result of execution of the Act, the accounting treatment of such unremitted earnings that are expected to be repatriated must be considered in evaluating an entity’s tax provision.
 
    As of March 3, 2006, we have not completed our assessment of earnings to be repatriated. Therefore, no impact of repatriation has been recognized in our tax provision for the third quarter of fiscal 2006. We estimate that we have undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of approximately $23 million which have been provided for in our income tax provision as the earnings are not considered permanently invested outside of the United States, which we expect to repatriate. Upon finalization of the amount to be repatriated under the Act, we estimate a one-time reduction to tax expense of approximately $3 million will be recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.
 
2.   Inventories: The components of inventories are summarized as follows (in thousands):

3.   Significant Transactions: On July 30, 2004, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Ben Sherman, which we operate as part of our Menswear Group. Ben Sherman is a London-based designer, distributor and marketer of branded sportswear, accessories and footwear. The purchase price for Ben Sherman was £80 million, or approximately $145 million, plus associated expenses. The transaction was financed with cash on hand, borrowings from our $280 million U.S. Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“U.S. Revolver”) and the unsecured notes payable to the management shareholders of Ben Sherman (“Seller Notes”), both as described in Note 4.
 
    The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for Ben Sherman (in thousands).

The information presented below is for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of results that would have been achieved if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal 2005 or results which may be achieved in the future.

    Additionally, during the first half of fiscal 2006, we acquired certain other trademarks including Solitude® and Arnold Brant®, and related working capital through asset acquisitions for a total purchase price of $5.9 million. Payment of additional contingent consideration of $8.0 million is required in the event certain earnings measures are met in future periods. In connection with these acquisitions, we have also entered into certain arrangements which require that we pay a royalty fee or sales commission, generally based on a specified percentage of net sales in future periods, to the principal of the seller of these trademarks.
 
    The acquisitions during fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006, along with the acquisition of Tommy Bahama Group on June 13, 2003, are consistent with one of our key strategic objectives to own major lifestyle brands. The acquisitions provide strategic growth opportunities and further diversification of our business over distribution channels, price points, product categories and target customers. The results of operations of each acquisition are included in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings from the date of the acquisition.
 
    Restructuring and Asset Impairment
 
    During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we elected to close certain of our manufacturing plants in the Dominican Republic and Honduras, all of which were leased from third parties, as well as to shut down our support functions at our Monroe, Georgia facility. The facilities in the Dominican Republic were closed during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and the facility in Honduras will be closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The support functions of our Monroe, Georgia facility will cease and be consolidated with the support functions of our Lyons, Georgia facility during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, although the distribution center in Monroe will continue operations. Each facility has been operated as part of our Menswear Group.

    As a result of these decisions, we wrote down the value of certain machinery, equipment and other assets, sold certain equipment, and incurred certain severance costs during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The total charge for these items in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 was $1.0 million, substantially all of which were recognized in cost of goods sold. Fair value of the machinery and equipment was determined for the assets based on the proceeds that we expect to receive upon the disposition of the machinery and equipment. Additionally, operating losses at these facilities that were closed or planned to be closed during fiscal 2006 totaled approximately $0.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Based on our current expectations, we anticipate that an additional charge of approximately $1.2 million related to these decisions will be recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, which is primarily for the payment of severance costs.

    On July 28, 2004, the U.S. Revolver was amended to increase the line of credit from $275 million to $280 million, to eliminate the asset borrowing base calculation in determining availability and to adjust the amount that certain lenders were committed to loan, among other changes. Approximately $1.8 million of unamortized deferred financing costs were expensed as a result of the amendment, which were included in interest expense in the consolidated statement of earnings during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Additionally, the terms and conditions of certain related agreements were modified in November 2004, including a change to a springing lock-box agreement, which resulted in amounts outstanding under the facility requiring classification as long-term debt subsequent to the modification. In September 2005, we amended the U.S. Revolver to remove certain items from the definition of Restricted Payments, as defined in the agreement.
 
    The U.S. Revolver, the U.K. Revolver and the Senior Unsecured Notes each include certain debt covenant restrictions that require us or our subsidiaries to maintain certain financial ratios that are customary for similar facilities. The U.S. Revolver also includes limitations on certain restricted payments such as earn-outs, payment of dividends and prepayment of debt. As of March 3, 2006, we were compliant with all financial covenants and restricted payment clauses related to our debt agreements.
 
    As of March 3, 2006, approximately $106.4 million and $1.0 million of trade letters of credit and other limitations on availability were outstanding against the U.S. Revolver and the U.K. Revolver, respectively. The net availability

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our “Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in this report and the “Consolidated Financial Statements,” “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our fiscal 2005 Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
We generate revenues and cash flow through the design, sale, production and distribution of branded and private label consumer apparel and footwear for men, women and children and the licensing of company owned trademarks. Our principal markets and customers are located primarily in the United States. We source more than 95% of our products through third party producers, but also manufacture certain of our products in manufacturing facilities owned directly by us and through joint venture arrangements. We primarily distribute our products through our wholesale customers including chain stores, department stores, specialty stores, mail order, mass merchants and also through our own retail stores for some brands.
We operate in an industry that is highly competitive. Our ability to continuously evaluate and respond to changing consumer demands and tastes across multiple market segments, distribution channels and geographic regions is critical to our success. Although our approach is aimed at diversifying our risks, misjudging shifts in consumer preferences could have a negative effect on future operating results. Other key aspects of competition include quality, brand image, distribution methods, price, customer service and intellectual property protection. Our size and global operating strategies help us to successfully compete by providing opportunities for operating synergies. Our success in the future will depend on our ability to continue to design products that are acceptable to the markets we serve and to source our products on a competitive basis while still earning appropriate margins.
The most significant event impacting our results is the ownership of Ben Sherman, by our Menswear Group, for the entire nine months of fiscal 2006 as compared to a seven month period in fiscal 2005. We acquired Ben Sherman on July 30, 2004 for approximately $145 million plus associated expenses as discussed in Note 3 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report. Ben Sherman is a London-based designer, distributor and marketer of branded sportswear and footwear that licenses its brand for accessories and other products and operates retail stores. The transaction was financed with cash on hand, borrowings under our U.S. Revolver and certain Seller Notes (each described in Note 4 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report). In connection with this acquisition, our U.S. Revolver was amended and restated to provide the necessary flexibility to finance the acquisition.
Additionally, during the nine months of fiscal 2006, we have performed better in terms of net sales and operating margins compared to the same periods of the prior year, with net sales and operating margins during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 being somewhat better than the operating results of the third quarter of fiscal 2005. We generated diluted earnings per share of $0.82 and $0.80 during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and the third quarter of fiscal 2005, respectively, and diluted earnings per share of $2.22 and $1.69 during the nine months of fiscal 2006 and the nine months of fiscal 2005, respectively. The increases in net sales and earnings per share were primarily a result of the ownership of Ben Sherman for the entire nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to only seven months in the comparable period in fiscal 2005 and increased operating margins in the Tommy Bahama Group. Additionally, we experienced growth in the Womenswear business during the nine months of fiscal 2006 and the historical Menswear business during the first half of fiscal 2006. These items were partially offset by poor performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 by the Ben Sherman brand.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following tables set forth the line items in the consolidated statements of earnings both in dollars (in thousands) and as a percentage of net sales. The tables also set forth the percentage change by line item as compared to the prior year. We have calculated all percentages based on actual data, but percentage columns may not add due to rounding. Individual line items of our consolidated statements of earnings may not be directly comparable to those of our competitors, as statement of earnings classification of certain revenues and expenses may vary by company. The results of operations of Ben Sherman are included in our consolidated statements of earnings from the date of acquisition.

TOTAL COMPANY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2006 vs. Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005
The discussion below compares our results of operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 to the third quarter of fiscal 2005, as defined in Note 1 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report. Each percentage change provided below reflects the change between these periods unless indicated otherwise.
Net sales increased by $6.9 million, or 2.0%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average selling price per unit of 4.4% partially offset by a decrease in unit sales of 3.0%. These changes were a result of the following (each as discussed in greater detail below):
    The unit sales decrease of 2.6% with a relatively flat average selling price per unit in the Menswear Group.
 
    The average selling price per unit increase of 4.5% partially offset by the unit sales decrease of 1.9% in the Womenswear Group.
 
    The average selling price per unit increase of 16.1% partially offset by the unit sales decline of 9.6% in the Tommy Bahama Group.

Gross profit increased 6.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase was due to higher sales and higher gross margins. Gross margins increased from 33.1% during the third quarter of fiscal 2005 to 34.7% during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in gross margins was primarily due to the increased gross margins of the Tommy Bahama Group and the decrease in sales in the Menswear Group, which has lower gross margins than the Tommy Bahama Group. Additionally, approximately $1.6 million of costs and operating losses related to the closure of four manufacturing plants and the consolidation of certain support functions in the Menswear Group were recognized in cost of goods sold during the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
Gross profit and gross margins for the current period will not necessarily be indicative of future periods as the mix between branded and private label products may vary as a result of the impact of seasonality on our sales during the year, among other factors.
Selling, general and administrative expense, or SG&A, increased 8.1% during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. SG&A was 26.9% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 25.3% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to additional Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman retail stores, expenses associated with the expansion of the Ben Sherman brand in Europe and expenses associated with the start-up of new marketing initiatives in the Menswear Group.
SG&A and SG&A as a percentage of sales for the current period will not necessarily be indicative of future periods as the mix between branded and private label products may vary as a result of the impact of seasonality on our sales during the year, among other factors.
Amortization of intangible assets decreased 18.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease was due to certain intangible assets acquired as part of our acquisitions of Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman, which have a greater amount of amortization in the earlier periods following the acquisition than in later periods. Thus, we expect that amortization of intangible assets will continue to decrease in future years, absent the acquisition of additional intangible assets.
Royalties and other operating income decreased 20.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. We derive royalty income through licensing our trademarks across a range of categories that complement our current product offerings. The decrease was primarily due to lower royalty income from our Ben Sherman licenses and less favorable currency translation rates. We anticipate that royalty income will increase in future years as the number of licenses increases and as our brands continue to grow, but will be subject to the impact of seasonality as it relates to the licensed products specifically.
Interest expense, net increased 0.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the increase in the interest rates on our variable rate debt partially offset by lower levels of debt during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Interest expense in future periods will depend upon the interest rate during the period as well as the total amount of debt outstanding during the period.
Income taxes were at an effective tax rate of 33.7% for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 35.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a decrease in certain contingent tax liabilities during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 is not necessarily indicative of the effective tax rate that would be expected in future periods.
Nine Months of Fiscal 2006 vs. Nine Months of Fiscal 2005
The discussion below compares our results of operations for the nine months of fiscal 2006 to the nine months of fiscal 2005 as defined in Note 1 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report. Each percentage change provided below reflects the change between these periods unless indicated otherwise.
Net sales increased by $100.2 million, or 10.8%, in the nine months of fiscal 2006. The increase was primarily due to an increase in unit sales of 10.7% partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price per unit of 0.3%. These changes were a result of the following (each as discussed in greater detail below):
    The Menswear Group, which included nine months of Ben Sherman operations during fiscal 2006 versus only seven months in the nine months of fiscal 2005 and which experienced a unit sales increase of 13.9%. This was partially offset by the average selling price per unit decrease of 0.8% in the Menswear Group.
 
    The unit sales increase of 13.1% and the average selling price per unit increase of 4.9% in the Womenswear Group.

Table of Contents

    The average selling price per unit increase of 15.0% partially offset by the unit sales decrease of 12.1% in the Tommy Bahama Group.
Gross profit increased 15.6% in the nine months of fiscal 2006. The increase was due to higher sales and higher gross margins. Gross margins increased from 32.8% during the nine months of fiscal 2005 to 34.2% during the nine months of fiscal 2006. The increase was primarily due to the increased gross margins of the Tommy Bahama Group partially offset by the sales increases in the lower margin businesses in the Menswear and Womenswear Groups.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, increased 14.2% during the nine months of fiscal 2006. SG&A was 26.6% of net sales in the nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to 25.8% of net sales in the nine months of fiscal 2005. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to the higher SG&A expense structure associated with our acquired Ben Sherman branded business, additional Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman retail stores and expenses associated with the start-up of new marketing initiatives in the Menswear Group.
Amortization of intangible assets decreased 13.2% in the nine months of fiscal 2006. The decrease was due to certain intangible assets acquired as part of our acquisitions of Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman, which have a greater amount of amortization in the earlier periods following the acquisition than later periods. This decline was partially offset by recognizing amortization related to the intangible assets acquired in the Ben Sherman transaction for the entire period during the nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to only seven months in the corresponding period of the prior year.
Royalties and other operating income increased 11.9% in the nine months of fiscal 2006. The increase was primarily due to the benefit of licensing related to our Ben Sherman brand for the entire nine months of fiscal 2006, as well as higher royalty income from existing and additional licenses for the Tommy Bahama brand. Additionally, during the nine months of fiscal 2006, we recognized a gain of approximately $0.5 million related to the sale of substantially all the assets of Paradise Shoe, a 50% owned joint venture which was the licensee of Tommy Bahama footwear.
Interest expense, net decreased 2.5% in the nine months of fiscal 2006. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the non-recurring $1.8 million charge recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 related to the refinancing of our U.S. Revolver in July 2004, partially offset by the higher debt levels outstanding and higher interest rates during the nine months of fiscal 2006.
Income taxes were at an effective tax rate of 35.4% for the nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to 35.3% for the nine months of fiscal 2005.
SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have three operating segments for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance which are based on products distributed. The Menswear Group produces branded and private label dress shirts, sport shirts, dress slacks, casual slacks, suits, sport coats, suit separates, walk shorts, golf apparel, outerwear, sweaters, jeans, swimwear, footwear and headwear; licenses its brands for accessories and other products; and operates retail stores. The Womenswear Group produces private label women’s sportswear separates, coordinated sportswear, outerwear, dresses and swimwear. The Tommy Bahama Group produces lifestyle branded casual attire, operates retail stores and restaurants, and licenses its brands for accessories, footwear, furniture and other products. The head of each operating segment reports to the chief operating decision maker.
Corporate and Other is a reconciling category for reporting purposes and includes our corporate offices, substantially all financing activities, LIFO inventory accounting adjustments, certain revenue reserves and other costs that are not allocated to the operating groups. LIFO inventory calculations are made on a legal entity basis, which do not correspond to our segment definitions.

The discussion below compares our results of operations by operating segment for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and also the nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to the nine months of fiscal 2005. Each percentage change provided below reflects the change for the quarter or the nine months between fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 as identified in the respective heading unless otherwise indicated.
Menswear Group
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2006 vs. Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005
The Menswear Group reported a 1.7% decrease in net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease was primarily due to the unit sales decrease of 2.6% with a relatively flat average selling price per unit. A unit sales decrease was experienced in Ben Sherman and our historical men’s product lines. In addition, the change in foreign currency exchange rates had a negative impact on net sales. These unit sales decreases were partially offset by increased unit sales from new marketing initiatives in tailored clothing and dress, knit and woven shirts, and our golf division operations.
The Menswear Group reported a decrease of 54.6% in operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to:
    Lower profitability in our Ben Sherman business primarily resulting from lower sales in both the United Kingdom and United States and higher returns, allowances and inventory write-downs in the United States.
 
    Costs associated with the opening of additional Ben Sherman retail stores, which totaled eight at March 3, 2006 (all of which are located in the United Kingdom and six of which are outlet stores) compared to one at February 25, 2005 as well as the costs associated with the opening of the first Ben Sherman retail store in the United States.
 
    Start-up costs associated with the expansion of the Ben Sherman brand in Europe.
 
    Approximately $1.6 million of costs and operating losses related to the closure of four manufacturing plants and the consolidation of certain support functions.
Nine Months of Fiscal 2006 vs. Nine Months of Fiscal 2005
The Menswear Group reported a 13.1% increase in net sales in the nine months of fiscal 2006. The increase was due to the unit sales increase of 12.9% in the historical Menswear business from new marketing initiatives in tailored clothing and dress, knit and woven shirts, as well as the inclusion of Ben Sherman for 39 weeks in the nine months of fiscal 2006 versus 30 weeks in the nine months of fiscal 2005. Ben Sherman brand net sales were $129.1 million in the nine months of fiscal 2006 and $111.4 million in the nine months of fiscal 2005. The average selling price per unit was relatively flat for the historical Menswear business.
The Menswear Group reported a 9.0% decrease in operating income in the nine months of fiscal 2006. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the decline in operating income at Ben Sherman, partially offset by increased operating income in portions of our historical Menswear business as well as the items noted above for the third quarter.
Womenswear Group
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2006 vs. Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005
The Womenswear Group, which primarily operates in the mass merchant channel, reported a 2.6% increase in net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 driven by growth with our largest customer, Target. The change was primarily due to an average selling price per unit increase of 4.5% resulting from a change in product mix, partially offset by a 1.9% decline in units shipped.

21


Table of Contents

The Womenswear Group reported an increase in operating income of $0.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The change was primarily due to the leveraging of SG&A over a higher sales base, a greater focus on improved product sourcing as implemented in the second half of fiscal 2005 that continued through the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and becoming more selective by only accepting programs that meet certain profitability standards.
Nine Months of Fiscal 2006 vs. Nine Months of Fiscal 2005
The Womenswear Group reported a 16.6% increase in net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The change was primarily due to the unit sales increase of 13.1% and the average selling price per unit increase of 4.9%, which was a result of a change in product mix.
The Womenswear Group reported an increase in operating income of $7.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The change was primarily due to the reasons noted above for the third quarter.
Tommy Bahama Group
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2006 vs. Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005
The Tommy Bahama Group reported a 7.1% increase in net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase was due to an average selling price per unit increase of 6.1%, excluding the private label business, resulting from increased retail sales and higher average selling price per unit on branded wholesale business. The increase in retail sales was primarily due to an increase in the number of retail stores from 50 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2005 to 58 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The higher average selling price per unit on branded wholesale business was due to lower levels of off-price merchandise during fiscal 2006.
The net sales increase was partially offset by exiting the private label business, which accounted for $2.6 million of sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and which did not contribute any sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
The Tommy Bahama Group reported an increase of 46.0% in operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in operating income was primarily due to:
    Improvements in gross margins due to higher retail sales, improvements in product sourcing and improved inventory management, which resulted in lower mark-downs.
 
    Exiting the private label business, which provided lower margins.
 
    Reduced amortization expense related to intangible assets.
Nine Months of Fiscal 2006 vs Nine Months of Fiscal 2005
The Tommy Bahama Group reported a 3.3% increase in net sales in the nine months of fiscal 2006. The increase was due to the average selling price per unit increase of 4.6% excluding the private label business, primarily due to increased retail sales and higher average selling price per unit on branded wholesale business. Unit sales were relatively comparable during the nine months of fiscal 2006 and the nine months of fiscal 2005. The increase in retail sales and higher average selling price per unit on branded wholesale business are due to the same reasons noted above for the quarter.
The net sales increase was partially offset by exiting the private label business which accounted for $9.6 million of sales during the nine months of fiscal 2005 and less than $0.1 million during the nine months of fiscal 2006.
The Tommy Bahama Group reported an increase of 41.1% in operating income in the nine months of fiscal 2006. The increase in operating income was primarily due to the same reasons noted above for the quarter.
Corporate and Other
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2006 vs Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005
The Corporate and Other operating loss decreased $0.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. This decrease was primarily due to reduced parent company expenses partially offset by the impact of LIFO inventory accounting.
Nine Months of Fiscal 2006 vs Nine Months of Fiscal 2005
The Corporate and Other operating loss increased $1.3 million in the nine months of fiscal 2006. The increase in the operating loss was primarily due to the impact of LIFO inventory accounting and increased parent company expenses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary source of revenue and cash flow is our operating activities in the United States and to some extent the United Kingdom. Additionally, subject to the terms thereof, we also have access to amounts under our U.S. Revolver and U.K. Revolver, each of which are described below, when cash inflows are less than cash outflows. We may seek to finance future capital investment programs through various methods, including, but not limited to, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our current or additional credit facilities and sales of equity securities.
Our liquidity requirements arise from the funding of our working capital needs, which include inventory, other operating expenses and accounts receivable, funding of capital expenditures, payment of quarterly dividends, repayment of our indebtedness and acquisitions, if any. Generally, our product purchases are acquired through trade letters of credit which are drawn against our lines of credit at the time of shipment of the products and reduce the amounts available under our lines of credit when issued.
Cash and cash equivalents on hand was $10.0 million at March 3, 2006 compared to $6.5 million and $17.2 million at June 3, 2005 and February 25, 2005, respectively.
Operating Activities
Nine Months of Fiscal 2006 vs. Nine Months of Fiscal 2005
During the nine months of fiscal 2006, our operations generated $14.2 million of cash compared to $0.4 million of cash during the nine months of fiscal 2005. The increase in operating cash flows was primarily a result of the net earnings for the period adjusted for non-cash activities such as depreciation and amortization and changes in working capital accounts including lower amounts of current liabilities, higher amounts of accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and slightly lower amounts of inventories from the balances at June 3, 2005.
During the nine months of fiscal 2005, we generated cash flows from operations of $0.4 million. Working capital changes included an increase in inventory, decreased accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. The inventory increase occurred in our Tommy Bahama businesses to support anticipated increased sales. The accounts payable decrease was primarily due to the timing of inventory purchases while the decline in accrued expenses was primarily due to incentive compensation accrued at the end of fiscal 2004 and paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The accounts receivable decline was due to the decline in sales in the last two months of the first half of fiscal 2005 compared to the last two months of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
Our working capital ratio, which is calculated by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities, was 2.78:1 and 2.20:1 at March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively. The improvement was due to the significant reduction of current liabilities (primarily accounts payable) partially offset by a decrease in current assets due to the decrease in inventory between periods, each as discussed below.
Receivables were $206.8 million and $209.0 million at March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively, representing a decrease of 1%. Days’ sales outstanding for our accounts receivable balance, excluding retail receivables, was 56 days and 57 days at March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively.
Inventories were $166.2 million and $186.2 million at March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively. This decrease was primarily a result of a reduction of inventory in our Tommy Bahama Group as we had minimal levels of excess inventory on hand at March 3, 2006 compared to February 25, 2005. Additionally, inventory in our historical Menswear Group decreased compared to February 25, 2005 primarily due to reductions in levels of replenishment program inventory. Our days supply of inventory on hand, calculated on a trailing twelve month average using a FIFO basis, was 73 and 76 days at March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively.
Prepaid expenses were $23.6 million and $18.1 million at March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively. The increase in prepaid expenses was primarily due to the timing of certain monthly payments, which were required to be paid at the beginning of the calendar month, prior to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2006, whereas such payments were made subsequent to the end of the quarter in fiscal 2005.
Current liabilities, which primarily consist of payables arising out of our operating activities, were $146.0 million and $196.1 million at March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to payments of certain recurring accounts payable and other accrued expenses occurring earlier during fiscal 2006 and lower levels of inventory purchases as compared to fiscal 2005.

23


Table of Contents

Deferred income tax liabilities were $74.6 million and $78.7 million at March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively. The decrease was primarily a result of changes in property, plant and equipment basis differences, amortization of acquired intangibles, deferred rent and deferred compensation balances.
Other non-current liabilities, which primarily consist of deferred rent and deferred compensation amounts, were $28.4 million and $15.6 million at March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of deferred rent during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and the nine months of fiscal 2006 as well as the deferral of certain compensation payments to our executives in accordance with our deferred compensation plans.
Investing Activities
During the nine months of fiscal 2006, investing activities used $26.5 million in cash. Cash paid for acquisitions during fiscal 2006 consisted of the earn-out payment in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 related to the fiscal 2004 Tommy Bahama Group acquisition and the payment for the acquisition of the Solitude® and Arnold Brant® trademarks and related working capital during fiscal 2006. Additionally, approximately $16.6 million of capital expenditures were incurred, primarily related to new Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman retail stores. These investments were partially offset by $2.0 million of proceeds received from our Paradise Shoe equity investment as a result of Paradise Shoe selling its assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
During the nine months of fiscal 2005, investing activities used $155.3 million in cash, consisting of approximately $137.4 million (net of cash acquired) for the acquisition of Ben Sherman as well as payments in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 of approximately $5.5 million related to the Tommy Bahama Group acquisition. Additionally, we incurred capital expenditures of $12.0 million primarily related to new Tommy Bahama retail stores and capital expenditures for computer equipment and software.
Non-current assets including property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and other non-current assets increased primarily as a result of the fiscal 2005 earn-out related to the Tommy Bahama acquisition and capital expenditures for our retail stores. These increases were partially offset by depreciation of our fixed assets, amortization of our intangible assets and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Financing Activities
During the nine months of fiscal 2006, financing activities provided approximately $16.4 million in cash, primarily from $18.5 of additional borrowings, net of repayments, under our U.S. Revolver in fiscal 2006 to fund our investments and working capital needs during the period and $4.9 million of cash provided by the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of employee stock options. These proceeds were partially offset by the payment of $6.9 million of quarterly dividends on our common shares during the nine months of fiscal 2006.
During the nine months of fiscal 2005 financing activities generated $123.7 million in cash. Substantially all of these proceeds represent the funding from the U.S. Revolver to finance the Ben Sherman acquisition on July 30, 2004, as well as other working capital investments, partially offset by the $2.8 million paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 related to the refinancing of the U.S. Revolver. Additionally, $2.2 million of cash was provided by the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of employee stock options. These cash proceeds were partially offset by the use of cash to pay $5.9 million of dividends on our common stock.
On March 6, 2006, we paid a cash dividend of $0.15 per share to shareholders of record as of February 15, 2006. Additionally, on April 4, 2006, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2006, payable on June 5, 2006. We expect to pay dividends in future quarters. However, we may decide to discontinue or modify the dividend payment at any time if we determine that other uses of our capital, including, but not limited to, payment of debt outstanding or funding of future acquisitions, may be in our best interest, if our expectations of future cash flows and future cash needs outweigh the ability to pay a dividend, or if the terms of our credit facilities limit our ability to pay dividends. Additionally, we may borrow to fund dividends in the short term based on our expectations of operating cash flows in future periods. All cash flow from operations will not necessarily be paid out as dividends in all periods.
Debt was $311.0 million and $341.1 million at March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively. The decrease was a result of the net cash generated from operations less any amounts reinvested or paid as dividends.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The table below provides a description of our significant financing arrangements (in thousands):
         
    March 3, 2006  
 
$280 million U.S. Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“U.S. Revolver”), which accrues interest, unused line fees and letter of credit fees based upon a pricing grid which is tied to certain financial ratios (6.73% at March 3, 2006), requires interest payments monthly with principal due at maturity (July 2009), and is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the company and its domestic subsidiaries
  $ 110,400  
 
£12 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“U.K. Revolver”), which accrues interest at the bank’s base rate plus 1.2% (5.70% at March 3, 2006), requires interest payments monthly with principal payable on demand or at maturity (July 2006), and is collateralized by substantially all the United Kingdom assets of Ben Sherman
    1,456  
 
$200 million Senior Unsecured Notes (“Senior Unsecured Notes”), which accrue interest at 8.875% (effective interest rate of 9.0%) and require interest payments semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, with principal due at maturity (June 2011), are subject to certain prepayment penalties and are guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries
    199,072  
 
Other debt, including capital lease obligations with varying terms and conditions, collateralized by the respective assets
    97  
 
Total Debt
    311,025  
 
Short-term Debt
    1,495  
 
Long-term Debt
  $ 309,530  
 
On July 28, 2004, the U.S. Revolver was amended to increase the line of credit from $275 million to $280 million, to eliminate the asset borrowing base calculation in determining availability and adjust the amount that certain lenders were committed to loan, among other changes. Additionally, the terms and conditions of certain related agreements were modified in November 2004, including a change to a springing lock-box agreement, which resulted in amounts outstanding under the facility requiring classification as long-term debt subsequent to the modification. In September 2005, we amended the U.S. Revolver to remove certain items from the definition of Restricted Payments, as defined in the agreement.
Our lines of credit under the U.S. Revolver and U.K. Revolver are used to finance trade letters of credit and standby letters of credit as well as provide funding for other operating activities and acquisitions. As of March 3, 2006, approximately $106.4 million and $1.0 million of trade letters of credit and other limitations were outstanding against the U.S. Revolver and the U.K. Revolver, respectively. The net availability under our U.S. Revolver and U.K. Revolver was approximately $63.2 million and $18.5 million, respectively, as of March 3, 2006.
The U.S. Revolver, the U.K. Revolver and the Senior Unsecured Notes each include certain debt covenant restrictions that require us or our subsidiaries to maintain certain financial ratios that are customary for similar facilities. The U.S. Revolver also includes limitations on certain restricted payments such as earn-outs, payment of dividends and prepayment of debt. As of March 3, 2006, we were compliant with all financial covenants and restricted payment clauses related to our debt agreements.
Upon expiration on maturity of the U.K. Revolver in July 2006, the U.S. Revolver in July 2009 and the Senior Unsecured Notes in June 2011, we anticipate that we will be able to refinance the facilities either with the same lender or other lenders with terms available in the market at that time.
We anticipate that we will be able to satisfy our ongoing cash requirements, which generally consist of working capital needs, capital expenditures and interest and principal payments on our debt during the remainder of fiscal 2006 primarily from cash flow from operations and cash on hand supplemented by borrowings under our lines of credit, as necessary. Our need for working capital is typically seasonal with the greatest requirements generally existing from the late second quarter to early fourth quarter of each fiscal year as we build inventory for the spring/summer season. Our capital needs will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the need to finance increased inventory levels and the success of our various products. Our debt to total capitalization ratio was 47% and 54% at March 3, 2006 and February 25, 2005, respectively.

If appropriate investment opportunities arise that exceed the availability under our existing credit facilities, we believe that we will be able to fund such acquisitions through additional or refinanced debt facilities or the issuance of additional equity. However, our ability to obtain additional borrowings or refinance our credit facilities will depend on many factors, including the prevailing market conditions, our financial condition and our ability to negotiate favorable terms and conditions. There is no assurance that financing would be available on terms that are acceptable or favorable to us, if at all.
Our contractual obligations as of March 3, 2006 have not changed significantly from the contractual obligations outstanding at June 3, 2005 other than changes in the amounts outstanding under the U.S. Revolver and U.K. Revolver, amounts outstanding pursuant to letters of credit (both as discussed above) and leases for our recently opened retail stores, none of which occurred outside the ordinary course of business.
We anticipate our capital expenditures for fiscal 2006 to be approximately $25 million, including $16.6 million incurred in the nine months of fiscal 2006. These expenditures will consist primarily of the continued expansion of our retail operations of the Tommy Bahama Group and Ben Sherman brand, including the opening of additional retail stores.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into agreements which meet the definition of an off balance sheet financing arrangement, other than operating leases, and have made no financial commitments to or guarantees with any unconsolidated subsidiaries or special purpose entities.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation and certain other accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
See the “Summary of Critical Accounting Policies” contained in our fiscal 2005 Form 10-K for a summary of our critical accounting policies. During fiscal 2006, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our fiscal 2005 Form 10-K.
SEASONALITY
Although our various product lines are sold on a year-round basis, the demand for specific products or styles may be highly seasonal. For example, the demand for golf and Tommy Bahama products is higher in the spring and summer seasons. Products are sold prior to each of our retail selling seasons, including spring, summer, fall and holiday. As the timing of product shipments and other events affecting the retail business may vary, results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of results for the full year. The percentage of net sales distribution by quarter for fiscal 2005 was 20%, 24%, 27% and 29%, respectively, and the net earnings by quarter for fiscal 2005 were 13%, 18%, 28% and 41%, respectively, which may not be indicative of the distribution in fiscal 2006 or future years.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE RISK
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on our indebtedness, which could impact our financial condition and results of operations in future periods. Our objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flow, primarily through a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. This assessment also considers our need for flexibility in our borrowing arrangements resulting from the seasonality of our business, among other factors. We continuously monitor interest rates to consider the sources and terms of our borrowing facilities in order to determine whether we have achieved our interest rate management objectives.

26


Table of Contents

As of March 3, 2006, approximately $111.9 million of debt outstanding (or 36% of our total debt) was subject to variable interest rates, with a weighted average rate of approximately 6.72%. Our average variable rate borrowings for the nine months of fiscal 2006 were $103.0 million, with an average interest rate of 6.14% during the period. Our lines of credit are based on variable interest rates in order to take advantage of the lower rates available in the current interest rate environment and to provide the necessary borrowing flexibility required. To the extent that the amounts outstanding under our variable rate lines of credit change, our exposure to changes in interest rates would also change. If the average interest rate for the nine months of fiscal 2006 increased by 100 basis points, our interest expense would have been approximately $0.5 million higher during the period.
At March 3, 2006, we had approximately $199.2 million of fixed rate debt and capital lease obligations outstanding with substantially all the debt having an effective interest rate of 9.0% and maturing in June 2011. Such agreements may result in higher interest expense than could be obtained under variable interest rate arrangements in certain periods, but are primarily intended to provide long-term financing of our capital structure and minimize our exposure to increases in interest rates. A change in the market interest rate impacts the fair value of our fixed rate debt but has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows.
None of our debt was entered into for speculative purposes. We generally do not engage in hedging activities with respect to our interest rate risk and do not enter into such transactions on a speculative basis.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
To the extent that we have assets and liabilities, as well as operations, denominated in foreign currencies that are not hedged, we are subject to foreign currency transaction gains and losses. We view our foreign investments as long-term and as a result we generally do not hedge such foreign investments. We do not hold or issue any derivative financial instruments related to foreign currency exposure for speculative purposes.
We receive United States dollars for substantially all of our product sales. Approximately 10% of our net sales during the nine months of fiscal 2006 were denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. These sales primarily relate to Ben Sherman sales in the United Kingdom and Europe and to a lesser extent sales of certain products in Canada. With the dollar trading at a weaker position than it has historically traded versus the pound sterling and the Canadian dollar, a strengthening United States dollar could result in lower levels of sales and earnings in our consolidated statements of earnings in future periods, although the sales in foreign currencies could be equal to or greater than amounts as previously reported. Based on our current level of sales denominated in foreign currencies, if the dollar strengthens by 5%, we would experience a decrease in sales of approximately $6.5 million.
Substantially all of our inventory purchases from contract manufacturers throughout the world are denominated in United States dollars. Purchase prices for our products may be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the local currencies, such as the Chinese Yuan, of the contract manufacturers, which may have the effect of increasing our cost of goods sold in the future. Due to the number of currencies involved and the fact that not all foreign currencies react in the same manner against the United States dollar, we cannot quantify in any meaningful way the potential effect of such fluctuations on future costs. However, we do not believe that exchange rate fluctuations will have a material impact on our inventory costs in future periods.
We may from time to time purchase foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against changes in foreign currency exchange rates. At March 3, 2006, we have entered into foreign currency exchange contracts, each with maturities of less than twelve months, totaling $8.0 million, which have not been settled. Such contracts are marked to market with the offset being recognized in our consolidated statement of earnings as the criteria for hedge accounting has not been met. The impact on our consolidated statements of earnings for these contracts is not material.
TRADE POLICY RISK
Pursuant to the 1994 Agreement on Textiles and Clothing, quotas among World Trade Organization, or WTO, member countries, including the United States, were eliminated on January 1, 2005. As a result, the international textile and apparel trade is undergoing a significant realignment which is changing our sourcing patterns, could disrupt our supply chain and could put us at a disadvantage to our competitors.
In addition, notwithstanding quota elimination, under the terms of China’s WTO accession agreement, the United States and other WTO members may re-impose quotas on specific categories of products in the event it is determined that imports from China have surged or may surge and are threatening to create a market disruption for such categories of products (so called “safeguard quota”). Pursuant to this authority, both the United States and the European Union re-imposed quotas on several important product categories from China during calendar 2005. Subsequent to the imposition of safeguard quotas, both the United States and China negotiated bilateral quota agreements that cover a

number of important product categories and will remain in place until December 31, 2008 in the case of the U.S.-China bilateral agreement and until December 31, 2007 in the case of the European Union-China bilateral agreement. The establishment of these quotas could cause disruption in our supply chain.
Furthermore, under long-standing statutory authority applicable to imported goods in general, the United States may unilaterally impose additional duties: (i) when imported merchandise is sold at less than fair value and causes material injury, or threatens to cause material injury, to the domestic industry producing a comparable product (generally known as “anti-dumping” duties); or (ii) when foreign producers receive certain types of governmental subsidies, and when the importation of their subsidized goods causes material injury, or threatens to cause material injury, to the domestic industry producing a comparable product (generally known as “countervailing” duties). The imposition of anti-dumping or countervailing duties on products we import would increase the cost of those products to us. We may not be able to pass on any such cost increase to our customers.
COMMODITY AND INFLATION RISK
We are affected by inflation and changing prices primarily through the purchase of raw materials and finished goods and increased operating costs to the extent that any such fluctuations are not reflected by adjustments in the selling prices of our products. Also, in recent years, there has been deflationary pressure on selling prices in our private label businesses. While we have been successful to some extent in offsetting such deflationary pressures through product improvements and lower costs, if deflationary price trends outpace our ability to obtain further price reductions, our profitability may be affected. Inflation/deflation risks are managed by each business unit through selective price increases when possible, productivity improvements and cost containment initiatives. We do not enter into significant long-term sales or purchase contracts and we do not engage in hedging activities with respect to such risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have not been any significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
