4.	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. The results for prior year periods have not been restated. No stock-based employee compensation expense has been charged against income in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, as there were no stock options granted during this period, and all of the Company’s stock options granted prior to the effective date were 100% vested at the effective date. The Company’s policy is to estimate the fair market value of each option granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and record the compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company issues new common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.

7.	NewAccounting 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 September 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.

Item 2. 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 September 30, 2007, consisted of 37 Company-owned retail stores in the United States, four in Europe, and an Internet business. The Company continually evaluates new store locations in the United States. 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.

The overall retail environment in the footwear and apparel industries has been challenging. The Company experienced softness this quarter in its wholesale business across many trade channels, particularly with its independent shoe and apparel retailers. However, consolidated net sales were up 4% this quarter, due mainly to the new Florsheim wholesale business in Canada. 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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s consolidated net sales increased 6% to $170.4 million from $160.5 million in 2006.

Consolidated net earnings in the third quarter of 2007 were up 3% to $5.33 million, or $.45 per diluted share compared with $5.17 million, or $.43 per diluted share in the same period of 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net earnings increased 7% to $15.1 million, or $1.25 per diluted share compared with $14.1 million, or $1.17 per diluted share in 2006. A detailed analysis of operating results follows.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Wholesale Sales

Sales in the Company’s wholesale division for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

	Wholesale Division Sales
	Three Months ended September 30,							Nine Months ended September 30,
	2007		2006		% change			2007		2006		% change

Stacy Adams	$	15,716,069	$	14,479,080		8.5	%	$	44,031,120	$	42,410,963		3.8	%
Nunn Bush		16,012,584		17,332,096		(7.6	)%		49,587,557		50,423,995		(1.7	)%
Florsheim		17,396,821		15,272,440		13.9	%		47,945,474		40,562,138		18.2	%
Foreign		1,377,931		1,387,974		(0.7	)%		4,328,108		3,746,322		15.5	%
Total Wholesale	$	50,503,405	$	48,471,590		4.2	%	$	145,892,259	$	137,143,418		6.4	%
Licensing		807,086		916,198		(11.9	)%		2,728,720		2,925,071		(6.7	)%
Total Wholesale Division	$	51,310,491	$	49,387,788		3.9	%	$	148,620,979	$	140,068,489		6.1	%

The acquisition of one of the Company’s significant customers by another retailer in 2005 resulted in some loss of sales volume at Nunn Bush and Florsheim in 2006 and 2007. The acquiring company decided not to go forward with either the Nunn Bush or Florsheim product lines in its stores. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, business with this customer was down $2.9 million compared to the prior year period. The lost business with this customer had no impact in the third quarter of 2007.

The sales increases at Stacy Adams for the quarter and year-to-date were attributable to growth in business with major chain stores. These increases were somewhat offset by decreased volume with independent shoe and clothing retailers.

Quarter and year-to-date sales in the Nunn Bush division were down this year compared with last year due to lower sales in Canada. In addition, Nunn Bush sales in the United States for the quarter were down 5% compared with last year’s third quarter due to the general malaise in the footwear market in the United States. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Nunn Bush sales in the United States were up 1.4% over the same period last year. Increased business with department stores and larger shoe store chains were somewhat offset by the year-to-date loss of $1.9 million of sales to the customer discussed above.

Florsheim sales were up, both for the quarter and year-to-date, and much of the increase can be attributed to new Florsheim sales in Canada. Sales of Florsheim product in Canada were $2.0 and $4.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The remaining increase in Florsheim sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was due to increased sales to department stores and shoe chains. The change in Canadian distributors reduced licensing revenues by $100,000 and $200,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Company expects total 2007 Florsheim Canadian sales to be between $5.5 and $6 million with related royalty income reduced by $250,000.

Retail Sales

Retail net sales in the current quarter were up approximately 2% to $6.85 million from $6.7 million in the prior year. Year-to-date sales in the retail division increased 6.9% to $21.8 million this year from $20.4 million last year. The quarter and year-to-date increases were primarily attributable to three additional stores at September 30, 2007 compared with September 30, 2006. Same store sales were flat for the quarter and up 3% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2007.

Gross Earnings

Overall gross earnings as a percent of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 37.5% compared with 36.7% in the prior year period. Wholesale gross earnings as a percent of net sales for the quarter was 32.6% in 2007, up from 31.6% in 2006. Gross earnings as a percent of net sales in the retail division was 66.4% in the third quarter of 2007 compared with 65.1% in 2006.

Overall gross earnings as a percent of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 37.3%, compared with 36.8% in 2006. Wholesale gross earnings as a percent of net sales for the nine months ended September 30 was 31.8% in 2007 and 31.2% in 2006. Retail gross earnings as a percent of net sales for the first nine months of this year was 66.5% and 65.4% last year. The increase in wholesale margins for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was due largely to the effect of the new Florsheim wholesale business in Canada. US wholesale margins were flat, as the Company continues 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.

The Company’s cost of sales does not include distribution costs (e.g., receiving, inspection or warehousing costs). Distribution costs for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, were $1,770,000 and $1,596,000, respectively. The Company’s distribution costs to date in 2007 and 2006 were $5,051,000 and $4,769,000, respectively. The Company includes these costs 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.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

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 23.9% versus 22.7% in 2006. Wholesale selling and administrative expenses as a percent of wholesale net sales were 19.7% in 2007 and 18.9% in 2006. Retail selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 57.6% in 2007 and 53.6% in 2006.

For the nine months ended September 30, selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 24.1% in 2007 versus 23.4% in 2006. Wholesale selling and administrative expenses as a percent of wholesale net sales to date were 20.0% in 2007 and 19.7% in 2006. Retail selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 54.4% in 2007 and 51.8% in 2006. The increase in wholesale expenses as a percent of sales was due to higher costs in Canada resulting from the transition this year of the Florsheim business in Canada, and in the United States increases in advertising and employee-related costs. The increase in retail expenses as a percent of sales for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 was due to higher expenses in relation to sales in the new stores, as well as increased costs associated with lease renewals at some existing stores.

Interest and Taxes

The increase in interest income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 was due to higher investments in marketable securities, which are primarily invested in municipal bonds. The decrease in interest expense this year was due to lower short-term borrowings in 2007 compared with 2006.

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was 36.6% and 36.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 36.8% compared with 37.4% in the prior year. The lower rates in the current year are 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 $9.9 million at September 30, 2007 as compared with $16.9 million at December 31, 2006. During the first nine months of 2007, the Company’s primary source of cash was from operations while its primary uses of cash were the purchase of marketable securities, the repayment of borrowings and repurchases of the Company’s stock. The Company also spent $2.2 million on capital expenditures in the first nine months 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 $14.3 million in cash from operating activities in the first nine months of 2007, compared with a use of $2.8 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities and higher net earnings in 2007.

Cash dividends paid were $3.4 million and $2.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In April 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend from $.09 per share to $.11 per share. This represented an increase of 22% compared with the previous quarterly dividend rate. The impact of this is 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 nine months of 2007, the Company repurchased and retired 338,699 shares for a total cost of $8.9 million.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had a total of $50 million available under its borrowing facility, of which total borrowings were $5.5 million. The facility includes one financial covenant which specifies a minimum level of net worth. The Company was in compliance with the covenant at September 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 956,948 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.
