NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 12, 2007

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF ENDEAVOR ACQUISITION CORP.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting of the stockholders of Endeavor Acquisition Corp. (“Endeavor”), a Delaware corporation, will be held at 10:00 a.m., eastern time, on December 12, 2007, at the offices of Graubard Miller, Endeavor’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10174. You are cordially invited to attend the meeting, which will be held for the following purposes:

(1) to consider and vote upon the adoption and approval of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of November 7, 2007 (the “Acquisition Agreement”), among Endeavor, AAI Acquisition, LLC, a California limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Endeavor (“Merger Sub”), American Apparel Inc., a California corporation (“AAI”), American Apparel, LLC, a California limited liability company (“LLC”), each of American Apparel Canada Wholesale Inc. and American Apparel Canada Retail Inc. (together, the “CI companies” and, collectively with AAI and LLC, “American Apparel”), Dov Charney, a principal stockholder and member of AAI and LLC, respectively (“Mr. Charney”), Sang Ho Lim, the other principal stockholder and member of AAI and LLC, respectively (“Mr. Lim”), and the stockholders of each of the CI companies (the “CI Stockholders”), and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Acquisition Agreement amends and restates in its entirety that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of December 18, 2006 (the “Original Agreement”), by and among Endeavor, AAI Acquisition Corp., AAI, LLC, the CI companies, Mr. Charney, Mr. Lim and the CI Stockholders. We refer to this proposal as the “acquisition proposal.” The board of directors and stockholders of each of AAI and each of the CI companies and the members of LLC have already approved and adopted the Acquisition Agreement.

(2) to consider and vote upon an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of Endeavor to change the name of Endeavor from “Endeavor Acquisition Corp.” to “American Apparel, Inc.” We refer to this proposal as the “name change amendment proposal”;

(3) to consider and vote upon an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of Endeavor to increase the number of authorized shares of Endeavor common stock from 75,000,000 to 120,000,000. We refer to this proposal as the “capitalization amendment proposal”;

(4) to consider and vote upon an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of Endeavor to remove the preamble and sections A through D, inclusive, of Article Sixth from the certificate of incorporation from and after the closing of the acquisition, as these provisions will no longer be applicable to Endeavor, and to redesignate section E of Article Sixth as modified as Article Sixth of Endeavor’s restated and amended certificate of incorporation. We refer to this proposal as the “Article Sixth amendment proposal”;

(5) to consider and vote upon the 2007 performance equity plan (an equity-based performance equity plan). We refer to this proposal as the “performance equity plan proposal”; and

(6) to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, Endeavor is not authorized to consummate the acquisition—we refer to this proposal as the “adjournment proposal.”

(i)

These items of business are described in the attached proxy statement, which we encourage you to read in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of Endeavor’s common stock at the close of business on November 16, 2007 are entitled to notice of the special meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the special meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting. Endeavor will not transact any other business at the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the meeting.

The acquisition proposal must be approved by the holders of a majority of the shares of Endeavor common stock sold in Endeavor’s initial public offering (“IPO”) that are cast at the special meeting. Each of the name change amendment, capitalization amendment and Article Sixth amendment proposals must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Endeavor common stock. The performance equity plan proposal must be approved by the holders of a majority of the shares of Endeavor common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting.

The adoption of the acquisition proposal is conditioned on the adoption of the name change amendment and the capitalization amendment, and neither the name change amendment nor the capitalization amendment will be presented to the meeting for adoption unless the acquisition proposal is approved. The adoption of the Article Sixth amendment and the performance equity plan proposals are not conditions to the adoption of the acquisition proposal or to the adoption of either of the name change amendment or the capitalization amendment proposals, but if the acquisition proposal is not approved, neither the Article Sixth amendment proposal nor the performance equity proposal will be presented at the meeting for adoption. The adjournment proposal will not be considered at the meeting unless, based on the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, Endeavor is not authorized to consummate the acquisition.

Your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares on any proposal unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the name change amendment, capitalization amendment, Article Sixth amendment, the performance equity plan and adjournment proposals but will have no effect on the acquisition proposal. Broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the name change amendment, capitalization amendment, Article Sixth amendment and adjournment proposal, but will have no effect on the acquisition proposal or the performance equity plan proposal. However, since the adoption of the acquisition proposal is conditioned on the adoption of the name change amendment and capitalization amendment proposals, any broker non-vote with respect to the name change amendment or capitalization amendment proposals will decrease the likelihood of the adoption of such proposals and thus also reduce the likelihood of the effectuation of the acquisition proposal.

Each Endeavor stockholder that holds shares of common stock issued in Endeavor’s IPO has the right to vote against the acquisition proposal and demand that Endeavor convert such stockholder’s shares into cash equal to a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account into which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of Endeavor’s IPO was deposited. The exact conversion price will be determined as of a date which is two business days prior to the anticipated date of the consummation of the acquisition. As of November 1, 2007, the conversion price would have been approximately $7.97 in cash for each share of Endeavor common stock issued for the IPO. These shares will be converted into cash only if the acquisition is consummated. If, however, the holders of 20% (approximately 3,232,149 shares) or more shares of common stock issued in Endeavor’s IPO both vote against the acquisition proposal and demand conversion of their shares, Endeavor will not consummate the acquisition. Prior to exercising conversion rights, Endeavor stockholders should verify the market price of Endeavor’s common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their conversion rights. Shares of Endeavor’s common stock are quoted on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “EDA.” On November 1, 2007, the last sale price of Endeavor’s common stock was $12.30.

Endeavor’s initial stockholders who purchased their shares of common stock prior to Endeavor’s IPO, and which include all of Endeavor’s current directors and executive officers and their affiliates and are referred to

(ii)

collectively in this proxy statement as the “Endeavor Inside Stockholders,” currently own an aggregate of approximately 18.8% of the outstanding shares of Endeavor common stock. Each of the Endeavor Inside Stockholders has agreed to vote all of the shares they purchased prior to the IPO on the acquisition proposal in accordance with the vote of the majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares issued in the IPO. The Endeavor Inside Stockholders have also indicated that they intend to vote such shares “FOR” the adoption of the name change amendment, the capitalization amendment, the Article Sixth amendment and the performance equity plan proposals, as well as the adjournment proposal if considered at the special meeting. These Endeavor insiders also have indicated they intend to vote any shares they acquire after the IPO for all of the proposals. As of the record date, these Endeavor insiders have not acquired any additional shares of Endeavor common stock since the IPO.

After careful consideration, Endeavor’s board of directors has determined that the acquisition proposal and the other proposals are fair and in the best interests of Endeavor’s stockholders.

Endeavor’s board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the adoption of the acquisition proposal, the name change amendment proposal, the capitalization amendment proposal, the Article Sixth amendment proposal and the performance equity plan proposal and, if considered at the special meeting, the adjournment proposal.

All Endeavor stockholders are cordially invited to attend the special meeting in person. However, to ensure your representation at the meeting, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible. If you are a stockholder of record of Endeavor common stock, you may also cast your vote in person at the special meeting. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares. If you do not vote or do not instruct your broker or bank how to vote, it will have the same effect as voting against the name change amendment, the capitalization amendment and the Article Sixth amendment proposals.

A complete list of Endeavor stockholders of record entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for ten days before the special meeting at the principal executive offices of Endeavor for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the special meeting.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the special meeting or not, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided.

Thank you for your participation. We look forward to your continued support.


NOVEMBER 28, 2007				By Order of the Board of Directors

				Eric J. Watson

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL TERMS OF THE ACQUISITION

Parties

The parties to the acquisition are:

•

Endeavor Acquisition Corp. (“Endeavor”),

•

AAI Acquisition LLC (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Endeavor that was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the acquisition as described herein,

•

American Apparel Inc. (“AAI”),

•

American Apparel, LLC (inactive) (“LLC”),

•

Dov Charney, an owner of 50% of the outstanding capital stock of AAI, 50% of the outstanding membership interests of LLC and 100% of the securities of the CI companies (as defined below) (“Mr. Charney”),

•

Sang Ho Lim, the owner of the remaining 50% of the outstanding capital stock of AAI and the remaining 50% of the outstanding membership interests of LLC (“Mr. Lim”), and

•

Each of American Apparel Canada Wholesale Inc. and American Apparel Canada Retail Inc. (together, the “CI companies” and, collectively with AAI and LLC, “American Apparel” or the “American Apparel companies”).

See the section entitled “Summary of Certain Provisions of the Proxy Statement - Parties.”

The Acquisition

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement:

•

prior to the closing of the acquisition (the “Closing”), Mr. Charney will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock and membership interests of the American Apparel companies owned by Mr. Lim (the “Lim Buyout”), provided that, if the Lim Buyout is not consummated by Mr. Charney prior to the Closing, the Lim Buyout shall be consummated directly by Endeavor at its sole cost and expense;

•

prior to the Closing, all of the membership interests of LLC will be transferred to AAI;

•

AAI will be merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Endeavor; and

•

all of the outstanding capital stock of each of the CI companies, as successors in interest to the Canadian entities that were original signatories to the Acquisition Agreement, will be acquired by Endeavor, with each of them surviving the transaction as a wholly owned subsidiary of Endeavor.

See the section entitled “The Acquisition Proposal.”

Acquisition Consideration

•

In return for all of the capital stock in each of the American Apparel companies, Mr. Charney will receive from Endeavor up to an aggregate of 37,258,065 shares of Endeavor common stock, subject to downward adjustment if American Apparel’s net debt, as defined in the Acquisition Agreement, at the close of business on the date two business days prior to the Closing is more than $150,000,000. Following the Closing, Endeavor will pay and expense as part of its operations an aggregate of $2.5 million of cash bonuses to existing American Apparel employees. As of September 30, 2007, American Apparel’s net debt does not exceed $150,000,000 and it is not anticipated to exceed $150,000,000 at Closing. Accordingly, it is unlikely that any adjustment will be made to the number of shares issued to Mr. Charney. See the section entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Acquisition Consideration.”

Post-Closing Ownership of Endeavor Common Stock

As a result of the acquisition, and assuming that there is no adjustment to the number of shares issued based on American Apparel’s net debt and that:

•

no Endeavor stockholder demands that Endeavor convert its shares to cash as permitted by Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation, Mr. Charney will own approximately 65.2% of the outstanding Endeavor common stock and the current stockholders of Endeavor will own approximately 34.8% of the outstanding Endeavor common stock immediately following the Closing;

•

assuming approximately 19.99% of the common stock issued in Endeavor’s initial public offering votes against the acquisition and such stock is converted into cash, Mr. Charney will own approximately 69.1% of the outstanding Endeavor common stock and the current stockholders of Endeavor will own approximately 30.9% of the outstanding common stock of Endeavor immediately following the Closing.

The foregoing percentages do not take into account any exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Endeavor common stock (which warrants will become exercisable at Closing) or any outstanding options.

Escrow Agreement

•

At the closing of the acquisition, 8,064,516 of the Endeavor shares to be issued to Mr. Charney will be placed in escrow until the later of (a) the first anniversary of the Closing and (b) the thirtieth day after the date that Endeavor files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as a fund for the payment of indemnification claims that may be made by Endeavor as a result of any breaches of American Apparel’s covenants, representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement and certain lawsuits to which American Apparel is a party. See the section entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Escrow Agreement.”

Lock-Up Agreement

•

Mr. Charney has agreed not to sell any of the shares of Endeavor common stock he receives in the acquisition before the third anniversary of the Closing, subject to certain exceptions. See the section entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Lock-up Agreement.”

Post-Acquisition Executive Officers and Employment Agreements

•

At the closing of the acquisition Mr. Charney, who is currently the chief executive officer of AAI, will become Endeavor’s chief executive officer and president. None of Endeavor’s current officers will continue with Endeavor after the acquisition. All of the current officers of American Apparel will continue in their current or related positions with American Apparel following the acquisition. Mr. Charney will enter into an employment agreement with Endeavor and American Apparel, effective as of the closing of the acquisition. See the section entitled “Directors and Executive Officers of Endeavor Following the Acquisition—Executive Compensation—Employment Agreement and Non-Competition Covenants.”

Post-Acquisition Board of Directors; Voting Agreement

•

After the acquisition, the board of directors of Endeavor will have nine members comprised of four persons designated by Mr. Charney, four persons designated by certain of Endeavor’s current stockholders and one person mutually designated by the parties in accordance with a voting agreement that will be executed by the parties immediately prior to closing. The voting agreement will provide that the parties thereto will vote their shares of Endeavor common stock in favor of such designees to serve as directors of Endeavor through the annual meeting of stockholders of Endeavor to be held in 2010. See the section entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Election of Directors; Voting Agreement.”

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS


Q.	Why am I receiving this proxy statement?	A.	Endeavor and American Apparel have agreed to a business combination under the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of November 7, 2007, as described in this proxy statement. This agreement is referred to as the “Acquisition Agreement.” A copy of the Acquisition Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A, and we encourage you to read it in its entirety.

			In order to complete the acquisition, Endeavor stockholders must vote in favor of (i) the Acquisition Agreement, (ii) an amendment to Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation to change the name of Endeavor from “Endeavor Acquisition Corp.” to “American Apparel, Inc.” and (iii) an amendment to Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock from 75,000,000 to 120,000,000. Endeavor stockholders also will be asked to vote to approve (a) an amendment to Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation to make certain modifications to Article Sixth thereof and (b) the performance equity plan, but such approvals are not conditions to the acquisition. The performance equity plan has been approved by Endeavor’s board of directors and will be effective upon Closing, if approved by the stockholders. Endeavor’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as it will appear if all amendments proposed hereby are approved, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B. The performance equity plan is attached to this proxy statement as Annex C.

			Endeavor will hold a special meeting of its stockholders to obtain these approvals. This proxy statement contains important information about the proposed acquisition, the other proposals and the special meeting of Endeavor stockholders. You should read it carefully.

			Your vote is important. We encourage you to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement.

Q.	Do I have conversion rights?	A.	If you hold shares of common stock issued in Endeavor’s IPO, then you have the right to vote against the acquisition proposal and demand that Endeavor convert such shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of Endeavor’s IPO are held. We sometimes refer to these rights to vote against the acquisition and demand conversion of the shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account as “conversion rights.”

Q.	How do I exercise my conversion rights?	A.	If you wish to exercise your conversion rights, you must (i) vote against the acquisition proposal, (ii) demand that Endeavor convert your shares into cash, (iii) continue to hold your shares through the closing of the acquisition and (iv) then deliver your shares to our transfer agent within the period specified in a notice you will receive from Endeavor, which period will be not less than 20 days. In lieu of delivering your stock certificate, you may deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian) System. Any action that does not include an affirmative vote against the acquisition will prevent you from exercising your conversion rights. Your vote on any proposal other than the acquisition proposal will have no impact on your right to seek conversion.


			You may exercise your conversion rights either by checking the box on the proxy card or by submitting your request in writing to Endeavor at the address listed at the end of this section. If you (i) initially vote for the acquisition proposal but then wish to vote against it and exercise your conversion rights or (ii) initially vote against the acquisition proposal and wish to exercise your conversion rights but do not check the box on the proxy card providing for the exercise of your conversion rights or do not send a written request to Endeavor to exercise your conversion rights, or (iii) initially vote against the acquisition but later wish to vote for it, or (iv) otherwise wish to correct or change your proxy card, you may request Endeavor to send you another proxy card on which you may indicate your intended vote and, if that vote is against the acquisition proposal, exercise your conversion rights by checking the box provided for such purpose on the proxy card. You may make such request by contacting Endeavor at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

			Any corrected or changed proxy card or written demand of conversion rights must be received by Endeavor prior to the special meeting. No demand for conversion will be honored unless the holder’s stock certificate has been delivered to Endeavor’s transfer agent within the period specified in the notice that will be provided by Endeavor as described above.

			If, notwithstanding your negative vote, the acquisition is completed, then you will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the trust account, including any interest earned thereon, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated date of the consummation of the acquisition. As of the record date, there was approximately $128.7 million in the trust account, which would amount to approximately $7.97 per share sold in the IPO upon conversion. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of Endeavor common stock for cash and will no longer own these shares. See the section entitled “Special Meeting of Endeavor Stockholders—Conversion Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares into cash.

			Exercise of your conversion rights does not result in either the conversion or a loss of your warrants. Your warrants will continue to be outstanding and exercisable following a conversion of your common stock unless we do not consummate the acquisition. A registration statement must be in effect to allow you to exercise any warrants you may hold or to allow Endeavor to call the warrants for redemption if the redemption conditions are satisfied.

Q.	Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the acquisition?	A.	Endeavor stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the acquisition under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”).

Q.	What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the acquisition?	A.	After consummation of the acquisition, Endeavor stockholders properly electing to exercise their conversion rights will receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account. Since there is no economic incentive for Mr. Charney to effect the Lim Buyout, Endeavor will effectively be required to effect the Lim Buyout and $60 million plus an additional cash amount based on the date on which the Lim Buyout is completed shall be used from the trust account and will therefore be unavailable to the combined companies. If the acquisition were to be consummated on December 14, 2007, and Endeavor was required to effect the Lim Buyout on the same date, Endeavor would pay Mr. Lim approximately $67.8 million. See the section entitled “The Acquisition


			Agreement—Acquisition Consideration—Lim Buyout.” In addition, if Endeavor is required to convert 19.99% of the Public Shares into cash, approximately $25.7 million of the proceeds in trust would be paid to the holders thereof. Accordingly, the minimum amounts available to the combined companies at consummation of the acquisition will be approximately $34.9 million. Regardless of the amount of proceeds delivered to the combined companies at closing of the acquisition, approximately $18.7 million will be used to repay existing indebtedness, $3.2 million will be used to make certain prescribed distributions to stockholders of AAI in connection with their personal income tax responsibilities; and $2.5 million will be used to pay cash bonuses to retained American Apparel personnel. In addition, a portion of the proceeds will be used to pay approximately $1.8 million in underwriting commissions from Endeavor’s initial public offering to Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., which were deferred, and the costs associated with the acquisition, including professional and printing fees. The balance of the funds in the trust account will be released to Endeavor and will become funds of the consolidated companies.

Q.	What happens if the acquisition is not consummated?	A.	If Endeavor does not complete the acquisition by December 15, 2007, it will be dissolved pursuant to Section 275 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In connection with such dissolution, the expected procedures of which are set forth in the section entitled “Other Information Related to Endeavor—Liquidation If No Business Combination,” Endeavor will liquidate and distribute to all of its public stockholders, in proportion to their respective equity interests, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust account, inclusive of any interest, plus remaining assets. Holders of Endeavor common stock acquired prior to the IPO, including all of Endeavor’s officers and directors, have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to those shares.

Q.	When do you expect the acquisition to be completed?	A.	It is currently anticipated that the Closing will occur promptly following the Endeavor special meeting on December 12, 2007. For a description of the conditions to completion of the acquisition, see the sections entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Conditions to the Closing of the Acquisition.”

Q.	What do I need to do now?	A.	Endeavor urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement, including the annexes, and to consider how the acquisition will affect you as a stockholder of Endeavor. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q.	How do I vote?	A.	If you are a holder of record of Endeavor common stock at the close of business on November 16, 2007, which is the record date for the special meeting, you may vote in person at the special meeting or by submitting a proxy for the special meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares.


Q.	If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?	A.	No. Your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares on any proposal unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee.

Q.	Can I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy or direction form?	A.	Yes. Send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Endeavor’s secretary at the address of Endeavor’s corporate headquarters prior to the date of the special meeting or attend the special meeting in person and vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Endeavor’s secretary, which must be received by Endeavor’s secretary prior to the special meeting.

Q.	Do I need to send in my stock certificates?	A.	Endeavor stockholders who do not elect to have their shares converted into a pro rata share of the trust account should not submit their stock certificates now or after the acquisition, because their shares will not be converted or exchanged in the acquisition. Endeavor stockholders who vote against the acquisition and exercise their conversion rights must deliver their shares to Endeavor’s transfer agent (either physically or electronically) after the meeting.

Q.	What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?	A.	You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your Endeavor shares.

Q.	Who can help answer my questions?	A.	If you have questions about the acquisition or if you need additional copies of the proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card you should contact:

			Martin Dolfi Endeavor Acquisition Corp. 590 Madison Avenue, 21^st Floor New York, New York 10022 Tel: (212) 683-5350

			You may also obtain additional information about Endeavor from documents filed with the SEC by following the instructions in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

			If you intend to vote against the acquisition and seek conversion of your shares, you will need to deliver your shares (either physically or electronically) to Endeavor’s transfer agent at the address below after the meeting. If you have questions regarding the certification of your position or delivery of your shares, please contact:

SUMMARY OF THE PROXY STATEMENT

American Apparel also operates a leading wholesale business that supplies t-shirts and other casual wear to distributors and screen printers. In addition to its retail stores and wholesale operations, American Apparel operates an online retail e-commerce website at www.americanapparelstore.com. See the section entitled “Business of American Apparel.”

Acquisition Structure

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement:

•

prior to the Closing, Mr. Charney will have the right, but not the obligation to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock and membership interests of the American Apparel companies owned by Mr. Lim (“the Lim Buyout”), provided that, if the Lim Buyout is not consummated by Mr. Charney prior to the Closing, the Lim Buyout shall be consummated directly by Endeavor at its sole cost and expense;

•

prior to the Closing, all of the membership interests of LLC will be transferred to AAI;

•

AAI will be merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Endeavor; and

•

all of the outstanding capital stock of each of the CI companies will be acquired by Endeavor, with all of the CI companies surviving the transaction as wholly owned subsidiaries of Endeavor.

The stockholders owning all of the outstanding voting stock or membership interests of each of the American Apparel companies have approved and adopted the Acquisition Agreement in accordance with the applicable corporate or company laws of each such company’s jurisdiction of formation.

See the section entitled “The Acquisition Proposal.”

Acquisition Consideration

In return for all of the capital stock in each of the American Apparel companies, Mr. Charney will receive from Endeavor up to an aggregate of 37,258,065 shares of Endeavor common stock, subject to downward adjustment if American Apparel’s net debt, as defined in the Acquisition Agreement, at the close of business on the date two business days prior to the Closing is more than $150,000,000. Following the Closing, Endeavor will pay and expense as part of its operations an aggregate of $2.5 million of cash bonuses to existing American Apparel employees. See the section entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Acquisition Consideration.”

Lim Buyout

Mr. Charney has the right but not the obligation to purchase all of Mr. Lim’s equity interests in the American Apparel companies prior to the Closing. The purchase price shall be $60 million plus an additional

cash price determined by the date on which the Lim Buyout is completed. In the event that the Lim Buyout is not consummated by Mr. Charney prior to closing of the acquisition for any reason, Endeavor shall effect the Lim Buyout as part of the acquisition by paying Mr. Lim cash for all of his equity interests in the American Apparel companies. The consideration to be received by Mr. Charney in connection with the Closing will not be reduced or otherwise affected should the Lim Buyout be consummated by Endeavor. Since there is no economic incentive for Mr. Charney to effect the Lim Buyout, Endeavor will effectively be required to effect the Lim Buyout. If the acquisition were to be consummated on December 14, 2007, and Endeavor was required to effect the Lim Buyout on the same date, Endeavor would pay Mr. Lim approximately $67.8. See the section entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Acquisition Consideration—Lim Buyout.”

Other Proposals

In addition to voting on the acquisition, the stockholders of Endeavor will vote on proposals to change its name to “American Apparel, Inc.,” to increase the number of shares of common stock it is authorized to issue from 75,000,000 to 120,000,000, to amend its charter to delete certain provisions that will no longer be operative after the acquisition and to approve the performance equity plan. In addition, if, based on the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, Endeavor is not authorized to consummate the acquisition, the stockholders of Endeavor will vote on the adjournment proposal. See the sections entitled “Name Change Amendment Proposal,” “Capitalization Amendment Proposal,” “Article Sixth Amendment Proposal,” “2007 Performance Equity Plan Proposal” and “The Adjournment Proposal.”

Interests of Endeavor’s Directors and Officers in the Acquisition

Certain of Endeavor’s officers and directors have interests in the acquisition that differ from, or are in addition to, those of Endeavor stockholders generally. In particular:

•

If the acquisition is not approved and Endeavor is required to liquidate, the 3,750,000 shares of common stock held by Endeavor’s officers and directors that were acquired prior to the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 will be worthless. In the event the acquisition is not consummated, all 3,750,000 shares held by Endeavor’s officers and directors, which had an aggregate market value of approximately $46,125,000 as of November 1, 2007, would expire and be worthless.

•

As of November 1, 2007, Endeavor owes an aggregate of $575,000 to Mr. Eric Watson and Mr. Jonathan Ledecky, Endeavor’s current chairman of the board and president, respectively, and their affiliates. If the business combination is not consummated, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky will be repaid only to the extent Endeavor has sufficient funds available to it outside of the trust account. As of November 1, 2007, Endeavor had only nominal funds outside of the trust account. Accordingly, in the event the acquisition is not consummated, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky will not be repaid.

•

If Endeavor is unable to complete a business combination and is required to liquidate, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky will be personally liable under certain circumstances (for example, if a vendor does not waive any rights or claims to the trust account) to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of certain prospective target businesses and vendors or other entities that are owed money by Endeavor for services rendered or products sold to it.

See the section entitled “The Acquisition Proposal—Interests of Endeavor’s Directors and Officers in the Acquisition.”

Interests of American Apparel’s Directors and Officers in the Acquisition

In addition, we urge you to consider the interests of certain directors and officers of American Apparel in the acquisition. In particular:

•

In connection with the consummation of the acquisition, Mr. Charney shall receive an aggregate of up to 37,258,065 shares of Endeavor’s common stock, subject to downward adjustment, which will result in Mr. Charney owning up to 69.1% of the outstanding Endeavor common stock immediately

following the Closing, assuming that approximately 19.99% of the common stock issued in Endeavor’s initial public offering votes against the acquisition and such stock is converted into cash. In the event the acquisition is not consummated, none of the 37,258,065 shares issuable to Mr. Charney, which have an aggregate market value of approximately $458,274,200 as of November 1, 2007, would be issued. In addition, Mr. Charney will enter into an employment agreement with Endeavor concurrently with the Closing under which he shall receive an annual base salary of $750,000 and also be entitled to receive an annual bonus of up to 150% of his base salary and a long-term bonus over the initial three-year term of the employment agreement of up to 300% of his base salary upon attainment by Endeavor of performance objectives to be determined by Endeavor’s compensation committee following the Closing.

•

Mr. Charney has the right, but not the obligation to purchase all of Mr. Lim’s equity interest in the American Apparel companies prior to Closing for $60 million plus an additional cash price to be determined based upon the date on which the Lim Buyout is completed. However, in the event that Mr. Charney does not consummate the Lim Buyout prior to the Closing, Endeavor shall effect the Lim Buyout as part of the transaction at its sole cost and expense. Since there is no economic incentive for Mr. Charney to affect the Lim Buyout, Endeavor will effectively be required to affect the Lim Buyout. Assuming the acquisition is consummated on December 14, 2007 and Endeavor is required to purchase Mr. Lim’s equity interest, Endeavor would pay Mr. Lim approximately $67.8 million.

•

Certain key officers and other employees of American Apparel may receive a cash bonus in connection with the consummation of the acquisition. The aggregate total of cash bonuses to be awarded has been set at $2.5 million.

•

All outstanding unsecured indebtedness currently due and owing from American Apparel to Messrs. Charney and Lim, as well as certain members of their respective families and officers of American Apparel, shall be paid by Endeavor immediately following the Closing. At September 30, 2007, the aggregate amount of such indebtedness was approximately $18.7 million.

Please see the sections entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Acquisition Consideration” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—American Apparel Related Party Transactions” for a more detailed discussion of these interests.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The merger of AAI info Merger Sub and the acquisition by Endeavor of all of the outstanding capital stock of the CI companies will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and no gain or loss will be recognized by Endeavor or American Apparel as a result of the acquisition. Further, no gain or loss will be recognized by non-converting stockholders of Endeavor as a result of the acquisition. See the section entitled “The Acquisition Proposal—Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition.”

Opinion of Jefferies & Company, Inc.

In connection with the acquisition as contemplated by the Original Agreement, Endeavor’s board of directors received an opinion from Jefferies & Company, Inc., or Jefferies, as to (i) the fairness to the holders of Endeavor common stock (other than any affiliates of Endeavor), from a financial point of view and as of the date of Jefferies’ opinion, of the consideration of approximately 32.3 million shares of Endeavor common stock that was to be paid by Endeavor pursuant to the Original Agreement, and (ii) whether the fair market value of American Apparel was at least equal to 80% of Endeavor’s net assets. The full text of Jefferies’ opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the scope of review undertaken by Jefferies in rendering its opinion, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex F.

Jefferies’ opinion addressed only the fairness to the holders of Endeavor common stock (other than any affiliates of Endeavor), from a financial point of view and as of the date of Jefferies’ opinion, of the consideration of approximately 32.3 million shares of Endeavor common stock that was to be paid by Endeavor

under the terms of the Original Agreement, and whether the fair market value of American Apparel was at least equal to 80% of Endeavor’s net assets. Jefferies’ opinion did not address any other aspect of the acquisition or the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, which amends and restates the Original Agreement in its entirety. Jefferies’ opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of Endeavor common stock should vote on the acquisition or any matter related thereto.

The amended terms of the acquisition were approved by Endeavor’s board on October 29, 2007. Given the limited time remaining between that date and the date Endeavor would be required to liquidate, and the lack of funds available to Endeavor outside of its trust, after discussion with Jefferies, the board determined to forego a fairness opinion with respect to these amended terms. Rather, the board decided to utilize its own comparable company analysis similar to that utilized by it when it considered the Original Agreement in December 2006 and, similar to that used by Jefferies, in part, in its analysis when opining that the consideration to be paid by Endeavor under the Original Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to Endeavor’s stockholders. See the section entitled “Important events subsequent to initial board approval—Valuation of revised terms” for a discussion of Endeavor’s board’s analysis of the fairness of the amended terms to Endeavor’s stockholders. Since Jefferies’ opinion as to the fairness of the transaction related solely to the terms of the Original Agreement and does not relate to the amended terms of the acquisition, investors should not rely on such opinion as to fairness.

Recommendation of Endeavor Board of Directors

Endeavor’s board of directors:

•

has unanimously determined that the acquisition proposal and each of the name change amendment, the capitalization amendment, the Article Sixth amendment and the performance equity plan proposals are fair to and in the best interests of Endeavor and its stockholders;

•

has unanimously approved the acquisition proposal and each of the name change amendment, the capitalization amendment, the Article Sixth amendment and the performance equity plan proposals;

•

unanimously recommends that Endeavor’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the acquisition proposal;

•

unanimously recommends that Endeavor’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the name change amendment proposal;

•

unanimously recommends that Endeavor’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the capitalization amendment proposal;

•

unanimously recommends that Endeavor’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the Article Sixth amendment proposal;

•

unanimously recommends that Endeavor’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the performance equity plan; and

•

if necessary, unanimously recommends that Endeavor’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve an adjournment of the special meeting.

American Apparel Stockholders Approval

All of the stockholders of the American Apparel companies have approved the acquisition by written consent for purposes of the corporate and company laws of the State of California and the applicable Canadian federal and provincial law. Accordingly, no further action by the American Apparel stockholders is needed to approve the acquisition.

Reasons for the Acquisition

Endeavor believes that American Apparel is positioned for continued growth in its markets and believes that a business combination with American Apparel will provide Endeavor stockholders with an opportunity to participate in an enterprise with significant growth potential. American Apparel had an annual growth rate in

revenues of approximately 41.1% from revenues of approximately $201.5 million in 2005 to revenues of approximately $284.3 million in 2006, and an annual growth rate in EBITDA of approximately 33.3% from EBITDA of approximately $16.8 million in 2005 to EBITDA of approximately $22.4 million in 2006. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, American Apparel had revenues of approximately $275.6 million. This was an approximate 31% increase over revenues of approximately $209.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. American Apparel’s retail sales for the first nine months of 2007 were approximately $126.0 million, an increase of approximately 51% over retail sales of approximately $83.6 million in the comparable period for 2006. EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $40.2 million, an increase of approximately 125.8% over EBITDA of approximately $17.8 million for the comparable period for 2006. See “The Acquisition Proposal—Background of the Acquisition—Endeavor’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Acquisition.” A discussion of American Apparel’s use of EBITDA and a reconciliation of American Apparel’s EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, is contained in “Selected Summary Historical and Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Risk Factors

In analyzing the proposed acquisition, Endeavor considered the risk factors identified in “Risk Factors” and notes that, among other risks, American Apparel had aggregate existing net debt as defined in the Acquisition Agreement of approximately $124.7 million as of September 30, 2007, American Apparel has been required to negotiate waivers from time to time with respect to its noncompliance with certain covenants under its existing bank and credit facilities and American Apparel is involved in certain litigations and claims. See the section entitled “American Apparel’s Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

As of September 30, 2007 and October 31, 2007 AAI failed to meet the provisions of certain covenants as set forth in its credit facility agreements and term loan agreement. During November 2007, AAI obtained waivers from its bank and private investment firm for the violations of these covenants. AAI also will be required to obtain consents to the amended terms of the acquisition from its lenders at or prior to closing, which it expects to receive. If AAI is determined not to be in compliance with covenants or other terms of its credit and loan facilities in the future and/or is unable to receive any necessary waivers or consents, this may result in additional fees may being assessed against AAI or acceleration of the outstanding debt in its entirely and may adversely affect the ability of AAI to continue operations. American Apparel has reviewed the terms of its credit and loan facilities and does not believe any other default is likely to occur during 2007. If, however, such a default should occur and not be remedied, or if the required consents are not obtained, the substantial majority of AAI’s long term indebtedness would be recharacterized as short-term indebtedness to reflect the potential acceleration of such debt if such default is not remedied. If prior to the special meeting of Endeavor’s stockholders, any such default should occur, or there should be any other event materially affecting the companies or the acquisition, Endeavor and American Apparel would issue a joint press release disclosing same and the effects thereof and file a corresponding Current Report on Form 8-K.

In evaluating the acquisition proposal, as well as the name change amendment, the capitalization amendment, the Article Sixth amendment and the performance equity plan proposals, you should carefully read this proxy statement and consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Certain Waivers and Amendments

Waivers

In March and April 2007, Endeavor waived certain obligations of American Apparel contained in the Original Agreement. Specifically, Endeavor waived the requirement that:

•

American Apparel deliver audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 by January 30, 2007, although it did not waive the obligation to ultimately deliver such financial statements (which have since been delivered);

•

American Apparel deliver projections that demonstrate it would have EBITDA of at least $50 million for the year ending December 31, 2007 giving effect to certain adjustments; and

•

American Apparel deliver projections that demonstrate it would have EBITDA of at least $70 million for the year ending December 31, 2008 giving effect to certain adjustments.

No additional obligations were imposed or agreed to in connection with the foregoing waivers.

Modifications

The Original Agreement provided, as a condition to Endeavor’s obligation to close the acquisition, that American Apparel have EBITDA of at least $30 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, after giving effect to certain adjustments, such as inventory write downs and workers compensation expenses, aggregating $5 million. In April 2007, Endeavor allowed an increase to the adjustments to approximately $9.9 million in the aggregate. No additional obligations were imposed or agreed to in connection with the foregoing modification.

Amended and Restated Acquisition Agreement

On November 7, 2007, the Original Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety by the Acquisition Agreement to give effect to the foregoing waivers and modifications by removing those financial statement and financial projections delivery obligations and to, among other things:

•

substitute a limited liability company for a corporation as the Merger Sub;

•

increase the number of shares of Endeavor being issued to Mr. Charney at the closing of the acquisition from 32,258,065 to 37,258,065;

•

provide that if Mr. Charney does not effect the Lim Buyout prior to Closing and Endeavor is therefore required to effect the Lim Buyout, the shares issuable to Mr. Charney in the acquisition would not be reduced as provided in the Original Agreement;

•

increase the level of American Apparel’s net debt above which there would be a downward adjustment in the number of shares issued to Mr. Charney at the closing of the acquisition from $110 million to $150 million;

•

increase the size of the 2007 performance equity plan from 2,710,000 shares to 7,710,000 shares and to provide that stock awards for an aggregate of 2,710,000 shares would be allocated and issued thereunder after Closing and upon filing of an effective registration statement on Form S-8; and

•

eliminate as a closing condition the hiring of a chief financial officer, chief operations officer and chief information officer.

Additionally, in connection with the revised terms of the acquisition, the terms of the employment agreement to be executed by Mr. Charney and Endeavor at the closing of the acquisition as contemplated by the Original Agreement have been revised and include an annual base salary of $750,000 and performance-based bonuses. See the section entitled “Directors and Executive Officers of Endeavor Following the Acquisition—Executive Compensation—Employment Agreement and Non-Competition Covenants.”

After discussion with Jefferies, the board of directors of Endeavor determined to forego obtaining a new opinion in connection with the amended and restated Acquisition Agreement given the limited time remaining to consummate the acquisition prior to the date Endeavor would be required to liquidate and Endeavor’s lack of remaining funds outside the trust. See “The Acquisition Proposal—Background of the Acquisition—Endeavor’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Acquisition.”

See the section entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Certain Waivers and Amendments” and “The Acquisition Proposal—Endeavor’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Acquisition.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Use of EBITDA

Endeavor believes that EBITDA provides relevant and useful information for analysts and investors as a non-GAAP operating performance measure. In particular, EBITDA is one of the key measures used by Endeavor with respect to the proposed acquisition in the valuation of American Apparel as described in the sections of this proxy statement entitled “The Acquisition Proposal—Endeavor’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Acquisition.” In addition, EBITDA is an important valuation tool used by potential investors when assessing the relative performance of a company in comparison to other companies in the same industry.

American Apparel presents EBITDA because it believes it provides an important measure of its financial performance. American Apparel defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before:

•

interest expense;

•

income taxes; and

•

depreciation and amortization.

American Apparel’s management uses EBITDA as an important financial measure to assess American Apparel’s operating performance. American Apparel’s management believes that the presentation of EBITDA included in this proxy statement provides a supplementary non-GAAP operating performance measure to assist readers with the overall evaluation of operating performance and also to assist in the review of results of operations for planning and forecasting certain operations in future periods. The presentation also provides a measurement which industry analysts use when evaluating operating performance and to allow comparisons of operating performance to that of competitors. EBITDA will also be useful for calculating bonuses to be paid to management.

Although American Apparel uses EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of its business, there are material limitations to using a measure such as EBITDA, including the difficulty associated with using it as the sole measure to compare the results of one company to another and the inability to analyze significant items that directly affect a company’s net income (loss) or operating income because of the following material limitations:

•

“It does not include interest expense. Because AAI borrowed money to finance its operations, interest expense is a necessary and ongoing part of its costs and has assisted in generating revenue. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest has material limitations.”

•

“It does not include taxes. Because the payment of taxes is a necessary and ongoing part of operations, any measure that excludes taxes has material limitations.”

•

“It does not include depreciation and amortization expense. Because AAI uses capital assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of costs and ability to generate revenue. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation and amortization expense has material limitations.”

American Apparel’s management compensates for these limitations in considering EBITDA in conjunction with its analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net income (loss).

Since AAI has previously reported non-GAAP segment results to Endeavor’s management and the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in financial reporting. Lastly, an investor or potential investor may find any one or all these items important in evaluating AAI’s performance, its results of operations and financial position. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them only to supplement U.S. GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting AAI’s business.

Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

The acquisition will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization since the stockholders of American Apparel will own a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock immediately following the completion of the transaction. American Apparel will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of American Apparel. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the Endeavor financial statements after consummation of the acquisition will be those of American Apparel and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of American Apparel. Endeavor’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of American Apparel upon consummation of the acquisition.

We have presented below selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information that reflects recapitalization accounting and is intended to provide you with a better picture of what Endeavor’s businesses might have looked like had AAI, the CI companies and Endeavor actually been combined as of the periods indicated. You should not rely on the selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have occurred had the companies been combined or the future results that may be achieved after the acquisition. The following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

We are providing this information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the acquisition. The following unaudited selected pro forma condensed combined statement of operations combines Endeavor’s historical statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 with those of AAI and the CI companies for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, in each case giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2006. The following unaudited selected pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines Endeavor’s historical balance sheet and those of AAI and the CI companies as of September 30, 2007, giving effect to the transactions described in the Acquisition Agreement as if they had occurred on September 30, 2007.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that we believe are directly attributable to the transaction and are factually supportable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet do not purport to represent the results of operations that would have occurred had such transactions been consummated on the dates indicated or the financial position for any future date or period.

The following information, which is included elsewhere in this proxy statement, should be read in conjunction with the pro forma condensed combined financial information:

•

accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined information;

•

separate historical consolidated financial statements of AAI and the CI companies for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 as well as unaudited for the year ended December 31, 2004.

•

separate historical financial statements of Endeavor for the year ended December 31, 2006;

•

separate historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of AAI and the CI companies for the nine months ended September 30, 2007; and

•

separate historical unaudited financial statements of Endeavor for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

The following selected financial data is derived from the pro forma condensed combined financial statement included elsewhere in this proxy statement, which has been prepared using four different assumptions with respect to the number of outstanding shares of Endeavor stock and cash immediately following the acquisition, as follows:

•

assuming no conversions and Mr. Charney consummates the Lim Buyout—this presentation assumes that no stockholders of Endeavor seek to convert their shares into a pro rata share of the trust account and Mr. Charney purchases all of Mr. Lim’s equity interest in the American Apparel companies using his own resources;

•

assuming maximum conversions and Mr. Charney consummates the Lim Buyout—this presentation assumes stockholders of Endeavor owning approximately 19.99% of the stock sold in Endeavor’s initial public offering seek conversion and Mr. Charney purchases all of Mr. Lim’s equity interest in the American Apparel companies using his own resources;

•

assuming no conversions and Endeavor consummates the Lim Buyout—this presentation assumes that no stockholders of Endeavor seek to convert their shares into a pro rata share of the trust account and Endeavor purchases all of Mr. Lim’s equity interest in the American Apparel companies using a portion of the trust fund (estimated at approximately $67.8 million assuming a closing on December 14, 2007); and

•

assuming maximum conversions and Endeavor consummate the Lim Buyout—this presentation assumes stockholders of Endeavor owning approximately 19.99% of the stock sold in Endeavor’s initial public offering seek conversion and Endeavor purchases all of Mr. Lim’s equity interest in the American Apparel companies using a portion of the trust fund (estimated at approximately $67.8 million assuming the acquisition closes on December 14, 2007).

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement, before you decide whether to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to adopt the acquisition proposal.

Risks Related to Endeavor’s Business and Operations

Following the Acquisition of American Apparel

The value of your investment in Endeavor following consummation of the acquisition will be subject to the significant risks inherent in operating in the retail apparel market, as well as risks that may arise in connection with the integration of the various companies. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information included in this proxy statement. If any of the events described below occur, Endeavor’s post-acquisition business and financial results could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the trading price of its common stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment.

We must successfully gauge fashion trends and changing consumer preferences in order to succeed generally and to effectively manage our inventory.

Our success will be largely dependent upon our ability to gauge the fashion tastes of our customers and to provide merchandise that satisfies customer demand in a timely manner. The retail apparel business fluctuates according to changes in consumer preferences dictated, in part, by fashion and season. To the extent we misjudge the market for our merchandise or the products suitable for our market, our sales will be adversely affected and the markdowns required to sell the resulting excess inventory will adversely affect our operating results. Some of our past product offerings have not been well received by our customer base. Merchandise misjudgments could have a material adverse effect on our image with our customers and on our operating results. Fluctuations in the apparel retail market affect the inventory owned by apparel retailers, since merchandise usually must be manufactured in advance of the season and frequently before fashion trends are evidenced by customer purchases. In addition, the cyclical nature of the retail apparel business will require us to carry a significant amount of inventory, especially prior to peak selling seasons when we build up our inventory levels. As a result, we will be vulnerable to demand and pricing shifts and to suboptimal selection and timing of merchandise production. If sales do not meet expectations, too much inventory may cause excessive markdowns and, therefore, lower than planned margins.

Our business will be highly competitive and our market share may be adversely impacted at any time by the significant number of competitors in our industry.

The retail apparel industry, in general, and the imprintable apparel market, specifically, are fragmented and highly competitive. Prices of certain products we manufacture, particularly t-shirts, are determined based on market conditions, including the price of raw materials. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future. We will compete with national and local department stores, specialty and discount store chains, independent retail stores and Internet businesses that market similar lines of merchandise. We will face a variety of competitive challenges, including:

•

anticipating and quickly responding to changing consumer demands;

•

maintaining favorable brand recognition and effectively marketing our products to consumers in several diverse market segments;

•

developing innovative, high-quality products in sizes, colors and styles that appeal to consumers;

•

sourcing raw materials and manufacturing merchandise efficiently;

•

competitively pricing our products and achieving customer perception of value;

•

providing strong and effective marketing support; and

•

maintaining high levels of consumer traffic to our retail stores.

We will also face competition in European, Asian and Canadian markets from established regional and national chains. Our success in these markets depends on determining a sustainable profit formula to build brand loyalty and gain market share in these challenging retail environments.

Purchases of retail apparel merchandise are generally discretionary and therefore are particularly susceptible to decline in poor economic conditions.

The outlook for the United States and world economy is uncertain and is directly affected by global factors that are beyond our control. Such factors include disposable consumer income, oil prices, recession and fears of recession, war and fears of war, terrorist attacks, inclement weather, consumer debt, interest rates, sales tax rates, consumer confidence in future economic conditions and political conditions, and consumer perceptions of personal well-being and security. Consumers are generally more willing to make discretionary purchases, including purchases of fashion products, during periods in which favorable economic conditions prevail. If economic conditions change, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. We cannot predict the indirect effects such as rising oil and freight prices, consumer spending or other economic factors such as natural disasters will have on our results of operations.

Our growth strategy relies in part on the opening of new stores and the remodeling of existing stores each year, which may strain our resources and adversely impact the performance of our existing store base.

Our growth strategy depends in part on the opening of new American Apparel retail stores, the remodeling of existing stores in a timely manner and the operation of these stores in a cost-efficient manner. Successful implementation of this portion of our growth strategy depends on a number of factors including, but not limited to, our ability to:

•

obtain suitable store locations and negotiate acceptable leases for these locations;

•

complete store design and remodeling projects on time and on budget;

•

supply our stores with proper types and quantities of merchandise; and

•

hire and train qualified store managers and sales people.

Additionally, new stores that we open may place increased demands on our existing financial, operational, managerial and administrative resources, which could cause us to operate less effectively. Furthermore, it is possible that by opening a new store in an existing market, we could adversely affect the previously existing stores in that market by drawing away foot traffic from the previously existing store.

Expanding our business internationally is an important part of our overall growth strategy and our success in this regard is subject to numerous risks, any of which could delay or prevent successful penetration into international markets.

As we expand internationally, we will need to effectively and efficiently open and operate stores in international locations. Our international growth will be limited unless we can:

•

identify suitable markets and sites for store locations;

•

negotiate acceptable lease terms;

•

hire, train and retain competent store personnel;

•

gain acceptance from foreign customers;

•

manage inventory effectively to meet the needs of new and existing stores on a timely basis;

•

expand infrastructure to accommodate growth;

•

generate sufficient operating cash flows or secure adequate capital on commercially reasonable terms to fund our expansion plan;

•

manage foreign exchange risks effectively;

•

address existing and changing legal, regulatory and political environments in target foreign markets; and

•

manage international growth, if any, in a manner that does not unduly strain our financial, operating and management resources.

We anticipate that we will incur significant costs related to starting up and maintaining additional foreign operations. Costs may include, and will not be limited to, obtaining prime locations for stores, setting up foreign offices and distribution facilities and hiring experienced management.

We expect to experience fluctuations in our comparable store sales and margins, which could make it difficult to gauge our growth at any specific period of time.

Our success will depend, in part, upon our ability to improve sales, as well as gross margins and operating margins, at American Apparel’s existing stores. American Apparel’s comparable store sales have fluctuated significantly in the past on an annual, quarterly and monthly basis, and we expect that they will continue to fluctuate in the future. For example, over the past two years, American Apparel’s quarterly comparable store sales have ranged from an increase of 64.4% in the first quarter of 2005 to an increase of 0.1% in the second quarter of 2006. American Apparel’s comparable store sales in 2006 increased 4.8% from 2005. A variety of factors affect comparable store sales, including fashion trends, competition, current economic conditions, the timing of release of new merchandise and promotional events, changes in our merchandise mix, the success of marketing programs and weather conditions. These factors may cause our comparable store sales results to differ materially from American Apparel’s prior periods and from our expectations. Our ability to deliver strong comparable store sales results and margins will depend in large part on accurately forecasting demand and fashion trends, selecting effective marketing techniques, providing an appropriate mix of merchandise for our customer base, managing inventory effectively, using more effective pricing strategies, and optimizing store performance.

We will be dependent on key personnel, and our ability to grow and compete will be harmed if we do not retain the continued services of such personnel, or we fail to identify, hire and retain additional qualified personnel.

We will be dependent on the efforts of American Apparel’s management team, and the loss of services of one or more members of this team, each of whom have substantial experience in the apparel industry, could have an adverse effect on our business. American Apparel’s senior officers closely supervise all aspects of the American Apparel business, in particular the design and production of merchandise and the operation of the American Apparel stores. If any member of American Apparel’s management leaves, such departure could have an adverse effect on our operations and could adversely affect our ability to design new products and to maintain and grow the distribution channels for our products. The loss of Mr. Charney would be particularly harmful as he is considered intimately connected to American Apparel’s brand identity and is the principal driving force behind American Apparel’s core concepts. In addition, if we experience material growth following the acquisition, we will need to attract and retain additional qualified personnel. The market for qualified and talented design and marketing personnel in the apparel industry is intensely competitive. If we are unable to attract or retain qualified personnel as needed, our growth will be hampered and our operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Cost increases in the materials or labor used to manufacture our products could negatively impact our business and financial condition.

The manufacture of American Apparel’s products is labor intensive and utilizes raw materials supplied by third parties. An important part of American Apparel’s branding and marketing is that its products are made in the United States. The Federal Trade Commission has stated that for a product to be called Made in USA, or claimed to be of domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be “all or virtually all” made in the U.S. The term “United States” includes the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories and possessions. “All or virtually all” means that all significant parts and processing that go into the product must be of U.S. origin. That is, the product should contain no- or negligible—foreign content. American Apparel meets the FTC’s “Made in the USA” standard and from the knitting process to the final sewing of a garment, all of the processes are conducted in the US, either directly by American Apparel in its knitting, manufacturing, dyeing and finishing facilities located in Los Angeles or through local commission knitters, dyers and sewers in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and other regions in the US. If the cost of labor materially increases, our financial results could be materially adversely affected and our ability to compete against companies with lower labor costs could be hampered. Material increases in labor costs in the United States could also force us to move all or a portion of our manufacturing overseas, which could adversely affect the American Apparel brand identity. Similarly, increases in the prices we pay to the suppliers of the raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to compete and could force us to seek to offset increased raw material costs by relocating all or a portion of our manufacturing overseas to locations with lower labor costs.

Unionization of employees at our facilities could result in increased risk of work stoppages and high labor costs.

American Apparel’s employees are not party to any collective bargaining agreement or union. If employees at our manufacturing or distribution facilities were to unionize, our relationship with our employees could be adversely affected. We would also face an increased risk of work stoppages and higher labor costs. Accordingly, unionization of our employees could have a material adverse impact on our operating costs and financial condition and could force us to raise prices on our products, curtail operations and/or relocate all or a portion of our operations overseas.

Many of American Apparel’s workers are documented immigrants and authorized to work in the United States; however, changes in immigration and labor laws could affect such labor force.

Many of American Apparel’s workers are documented immigrants, authorized to work in the United States. Changes to existing U.S. immigration laws or labor laws could affect this labor force and could make it harder for members of such force to remain or legally work in the United States. Any changes in U.S. laws having such an affect could make it harder for American Apparel to maintain and expand its work force, which would be adverse to American Apparel’s manufacturing capabilities and harm American Apparel’s operations and financial results.

Our manufacturing operations will be located in higher-cost geographic locations, placing us at a disadvantage to competitors that have a higher percentage of their operations overseas.

Despite the general industry-wide migration of manufacturing operations to lower-cost locations, such as Central America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia, American Apparel’s textile manufacturing operations are still located in the United States, which is a higher-cost location relative to these offshore locations. In addition, American Apparel’s competitors generally source or produce a greater portion of their textiles from regions with lower costs than American Apparel, which will place us at a cost disadvantage. This can enable our competitors to exert pricing pressure in the industry by using their manufacturing cost savings to reduce prices of their products.

Reliance on third party shippers to deliver merchandise to stores and customers could result in business disruption.

The efficient operation of American Apparel’s stores and wholesale business depends on the timely receipt of merchandise from its distribution centers. Independent third party transportation companies deliver a substantial portion of American Apparel’s merchandise to our stores. These shippers may not continue to ship our products at current pricing or terms. These shippers may employ personnel represented by labor unions. Disruptions in the delivery of merchandise or work stoppages by employees or contractors of these third parties could delay the timely receipt of merchandise. There can be no assurance that such stoppages or disruptions will not occur in the future. Any failure by these third parties to respond adequately to our distribution needs would disrupt our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Elimination of U.S. import protections would eliminate an important barrier to competition with respect to merchandise produced in lower labor cost locations, which could place us at a disadvantage.

Our products will be subject to foreign competition. Foreign producers of apparel often have significant labor cost advantages, which can enable them to sell their products at relatively lower prices. However, in the past, foreign competitors have been faced with significant U.S. government import restrictions. The extent of import protection afforded to domestic apparel producers has been, and is likely to remain, subject to political considerations, and is therefore unpredictable. Given the number of foreign producers, the substantial elimination of import protections that protect domestic apparel producers such as American Apparel could materially adversely affect our business.

Because American Apparel utilizes foreign suppliers and sells into foreign markets, we will be subject to numerous risks associated with international business that could increase our costs or disrupt the supply of its products, resulting in a negative impact on our business and financial condition.

American Apparel’s international operations subject it to risks, including:

•

economic and political instability,

•

restrictive actions by foreign governments,

•

greater difficulty enforcing intellectual property rights and weaker laws protecting intellectual property rights,

•

changes in import duties or import or export restrictions,

•

fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could negatively affect profit margins,

•

timely shipping of product and unloading of product through West Coast ports, as well as timely truck delivery to American Apparel’s warehouses,

•

complications complying with the laws and policies of the United States affecting the importation of goods, including duties, quotas, and taxes, and

•

complications in complying with trade and foreign tax laws.

Any of these events or circumstances could disrupt the supply of our products or increase our expenses.

Litigation exposure could exceed expectations and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

American Apparel is subject to regulatory inquiries, claims and suits that arise in the ordinary course of business and is currently involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business. American Apparel is

currently defending two personnel-related claims of harassment, discrimination and/or wrongful termination and a claim of trademark infringement brought by Hanesbrands, Inc. American Apparel’s management believes these matters are generally without merit, but there can be no assurance that we would not incur substantial costs to defend them or substantial liability in the event one or more of these matters are decided against us. We are unable to assess the specific maximum potential financial exposure that could result from these matters. Our estimates of the viability of these claims or the financial exposure in which they could result could change from time to time as the matters proceed through their course, as facts are established and various judicial determinations are made. Should management’s current evaluation that pending matters are without merit prove incorrect, we could have material financial exposure, which would have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and results of operations. See the section entitled “Business of American Apparel—Legal Proceedings” for a more detailed discussion of American Apparel’s pending litigation.

The process of upgrading American Apparel’s information technology infrastructure may disrupt our operations.

American Apparel has performed an evaluation of its information technology systems and requirements and is in the beginning stages of implementing upgrades to its information technology systems supporting the business. These upgrades will involve replacing legacy systems with successor systems, making changes to legacy systems or acquiring new systems with new functionality. There are inherent risks associated with replacing and changing these systems, including accurately capturing data and system disruptions. We believe that American Apparel is taking appropriate action to mitigate the risks through testing, training and staging implementation, as well as securing appropriate commercial contracts with third-party vendors supplying such replacement technologies. Information technology system disruptions, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, there is no assurance that a successfully implemented system will produce its intended benefits.

We will have potentially adverse exposure to credit risks on our wholesale sales.

American Apparel is exposed to the risk of financial non-performance by its customers, primarily in its wholesale business. Sales to wholesale customers represented approximately 56% of total sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 and approximately 51% of total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. American Apparel’s extension of credit involves considerable use of judgment and is based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and payment history. American Apparel monitors its credit risk exposure by periodically obtaining credit reports and updated financials on its customers. American Apparel maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses based upon historical trends and other available information. However, the inability to collect on sales to significant customers or a group of customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our online retail operations will face risks that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

Our online retail operations were approximately 7% of sales for the year ending December 31, 2006 and approximately 7% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and are subject to numerous risks that could have a material adverse effect on our operational results. Risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

a diversion of sales from our retail stores, which may impact comparable store sales figures;

•

difficulty in recreating the in-store experience on a web site; and

•

risks related to the failure of the systems that operate the web sites and their related support systems, including computer viruses, theft of customer information, telecommunication failures and electronic break-ins and similar disruptions.

We will incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company, our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and we will be required to remediate our material weakness in American Apparel’s internal control over financial reporting identified by its auditors, which related to American Apparel not having sufficient personnel for its financial reporting responsibilities, which results in the untimely close of its books and records and preparation of financial statements and related disclosures.

While we are a public company, our compliance costs to date have not been substantial in light of our limited operations. American Apparel has never operated as a public company. As a public company with substantial operations, we will incur increased legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the American Stock Exchange, have imposed various new requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. We must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management and our independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. After the acquisition, the added complexity and geographical scope of our operations will substantially increase our costs in complying with Section 404. Our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. As a private company, American Apparel has not been subject to public company disclosure requirements, including reporting on internal control over financial reporting in compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Item 308 of Regulation S-K. Although American Apparel maintains separate legal and compliance and internal audit functions, to date American Apparel has not been required to establish and maintain such disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as will be required with respect to a public company with substantial operations. Additionally, American Apparel’s auditors and management have identified certain material weaknesses in American Apparel’s internal control over financial reporting that will need to be remedied. American Apparel has not evaluated or tested its internal control over financial reporting to allow its management or auditors to determine if it has any additional material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting but its management expects that there are a number of steps that will need to be taken following consummation of the transactions to comply with the requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. For example, following completion of the transaction, we and American Apparel combined companies intend to hire additional accounting and infrastructure related personnel. Additionally, the internal operating procedures, information systems and accounting controls over the combined companies will be in a substantial state of transition and flux as American Apparel transitions to being a public company. Assuming the transactions are consummated by December 15, 2007, American Apparel management is presently estimating that the integration of systems and operations, hiring of additional personnel, reallocation of job functions and formulation of accounting processes and controls to apply to the public company can be completed during the second quarter of 2008, at the earliest. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management time on compliance-related issues current management has. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the American Stock Exchange.

American Apparel has significant indebtedness and a failure to generate significant cash flow could render it unable to service such obligations.

As of September 30, 2007, American Apparel had aggregate indebtedness of approximately $124.7 million. Approximately 42% of this aggregate indebtedness of $124.7 million bears variable interest rates (which ranges

from 4.6% to 24%). American Apparel’s ability to service this indebtedness will be dependent on its ability to generate cash from internal operations sufficient to make required payments on such indebtedness. American Apparel’s business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and future borrowings may not be available to American Apparel under these facilities in an amount sufficient to enable American Apparel to pay this indebtedness and fund operating and liquidity requirements prior to the closing of the acquisition. American Apparel may need to refinance all or a portion of this indebtedness on or before maturity. However, American Apparel may not be able to refinance any of this indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. On July 2, 2007, American Apparel obtained an additional $10 million secured debt financing with the same private investment firm which provided $41 million in financing under a term loan agreement in January 2007. On July 2, 2007 American Apparel also replaced its secured revolving credit facility of $62.5 million with an increased revolving credit facility of $75 million from a new bank, which expires on the earlier of July 2, 2012 or thirty days prior to the maturity date of the loan agreement with the private investment firm (January 18, 2009) unless it is refinanced on terms acceptable to the bank in December 2008. Borrowings under the new facility are subject to certain advance provisions established by the bank and are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of American Apparel.

Interest costs paid by American Apparel would increase if interest rates increase.

Approximately 42% of the debt of AAI at September 30, 2007 was at a variable rate. In the event that interest rates rise, the result would be higher interest costs at AAI. Approximately 83% of the debt of CI at September 30, 2007 was at a variable rate (ranging from Canadian Prime Rate + 1% to 18%). In the event that interest rates rise, CI will incur higher interest costs.

Failure of American Apparel to remain in compliance with certain financial covenants under its financing arrangements could result in the acceleration of its debt repayment obligations.

The financing agreements between AAI and its lenders contain certain financial covenants relating to AAI’s fixed charge coverage ratio, annual capital expense limitations, minimum EBITDA, debt to EBITDA ratios and adjusted debt to EBITDA ratios. Failure of American Apparel to maintain compliance with any of these financial covenants can result in an increase in the interest rate payable under the financing arrangements or acceleration of the outstanding debt in its entirety and may adversely effect the ability of American Apparel to obtain additional financing that may be necessary to effectively grow the business going forward. Prior to July 2, 2007, AAI was in non-compliance under its then existing financing agreements, failing to meet the senior debt to EBITDA ratio test under its revolving credit facility and failing to satisfy the minimum EBITDA test for 2006 as well as the minimum EBITDA test and the maximum senior debt to EBITDA ratio test for the first quarter of 2007 under its term loan agreement with a private investment firm. On July 2, 2007, AAI replaced its existing revolving credit facility with a revolving credit facility agreement with a new bank and the private investment firm agreed to waive past defaults and reset the financial covenants under AAI’s term loan agreement. As of September 30, 2007 and October 31, 2007 AAI failed to meet the provisions of certain covenants as set forth in its credit facility agreements and term loan agreement. During November 2007, AAI obtained waivers from its bank and private investment firm for the violations of these covenants. AAI also will be required to obtain consents to the amended terms of the acquisition from its lenders at or prior to closing, which it expects to receive. If AAI is determined not to be in compliance with covenants or other terms of its credit and loan facilities in the future and/or is unable to receive any necessary waivers or consents, this may result in additional fees may being assessed against AAI or acceleration of the outstanding debt in its entirely and may adversely affect the ability of AAI to continue operations. American Apparel has reviewed the terms of its credit and loan facilities and does not believe any other default is likely to occur during 2007. If, however, such a default should occur and not be remedied, the substantial majority of AAI’s long term indebtedness would be recharacterized as short-term indebtedness to reflect the potential acceleration of such debt if such default is not remedied. If prior to the special meeting of Endeavor’s stockholders, any such default should occur, or there should be any other event materially affecting the companies or the acquisition, Endeavor and American Apparel would issue a joint press release disclosing same and the effects thereof and file a corresponding Current Report on Form 8-K.

The financing agreement among the CI companies and their lender contain certain financial covenants relating to working capital requirements and debt to net worth ratios. Failure to maintain compliance with those financial covenants may result in additional fees being assessed against the CI companies or acceleration of the outstanding debt in its entirety and may adversely effect the ability of the CI companies to continue operations. At September 30, 2007 and as of the date hereof, the CI companies were not in compliance with the financial covenants of their financing agreement, failing to meet the minimum net working capital test and debt to tangible net worth ratio test. The bank has waived compliance with the obligation to meet these covenants as at September 30, 2007.

Substantially all of American Apparel’s assets are used to collateralize its credit facilities, certain term loans and equipment leasing agreements

Substantially all of American Apparel’s assets are used to collateralize its credit facilities, certain term loans and equipment leasing agreements. As of September 30, 2007, these credit facilities consist of AAI’s revolving credit facility of $75 million, which is secured by substantially all assets of AAI including cash, inventory and accounts receivable as well as the CI Companies’ line of credit facility of $4.5 million, which is secured the CI Companies’ accounts receivable, inventory and all other moveable assets. AAI’s term loan agreement with a private investment firm of $61 million also uses substantially all assets of AAI as collateral and names the private investment firm a second lien lender. All of these debt agreements contain various covenants that require the AAI and CI Companies to maintain certain financial ratios and commitments as defined by the agreements. All leasing agreements are collateralized by equipment provided by the leasing arrangement.

In the event of the default on these agreements, substantially all of the assets of AAI and CI Companies would be subject to liquidation by the creditors, which may result in no assets being left available to the stockholders.

American Apparel is currently being audited by government tax agencies regarding its operating activities in previous periods which may result in an assessment of a material amount, the payment of which may adversely impact American Apparel’s financial conditions and operations.

As of September 30, 2007, American Apparel is being audited by Federal and State agencies in regards to sales and income taxes for certain previous years. At this time, no assessments have been issued and American Apparel cannot quantify what impact these audits may have, if any. Therefore no provisions have been set up in the accounts of American Apparel.

American Apparel may not be able to achieve its estimate of $75 million of EBITDA in 2008.

There may be several factors that could cause American Apparel to not achieve its estimated 2008 EBITDA including lower sales and insufficient funding that would reduce the number of stores expected to be opened. Lower same store sales growth in 2008 would reduce the cash being generated for working capital. The final amount of funds available to American Apparel from the merger to support its expansion plans is dependant on the number of shareholders that vote against the merger. A large negative vote would severely impact American Apparel’s expansion plans. Unexpected operational or expansion costs would reduce the funds available for further expansion. These possibilities would reduce the number of new stores to be opened in 2008 and thus reducing the EBITDA.

Following the merger with Endeavor, American Apparel will still have significant indebtedness and may have to raise additional capital, either debt or equity, to successfully carry out its business plan.

It is estimated that through the merger of Endeavor, American Apparel will only receive net cash proceeds of between $11.1 and $36.8 million, which will leave American Apparel with significant indebtedness. American Apparel plans to incur additional indebtedness under its current credit facilities to finance the expansion of its retail business. It is uncommon for companies involved in the retail apparel business to operate with such a high level of indebtedness due to the underlying volatility of this business. American Apparel may have to enter into new credit facilities, or possibly issue additional common stock, to finance its planned retail expansion. If American Apparel has to issue additional equity, the stockholders of Endeavor would be diluted. There can be no

assurances that American Apparel will have access to financing on commercially reasonable terms or that it will be able to open its planned number of new stores in 2007, 2008, or thereafter. Any failure to successfully open and operate new stores could harm American Apparel’s results of operations.

Investors evaluating the proposals described in this proxy statement will not have, prior to the special meeting, certain information relating to compensation arrangements for the officers, directors and employees of the combined companies.

Significant compensation decisions will be made by Endeavor’s board of directors and compensation committee going forward after the acquisition, as generally described in the section entitled “Directors and Executive Officers of Endeavor Following the Acquisition - Executive Compensation.” While it is generally anticipated that American Apparel’s current officers and employees (other than Mr. Lim) will continue in the same or substantially the same capacities with American Apparel after the acquisition, none of them, other than Mr. Charney, is entering into a new employment agreement in connection with the acquisition. Accordingly, their compensation arrangements will be subject to review and change from time to time, including in the near term, by the board of Endeavor and its compensation committee following the acquisition. Although the board of directors and compensation committee will have a fiduciary duty to make fair and reasonable compensation decisions, future compensation arrangements cannot be currently quantified and therefore investors must recognize the presently indeterminate nature of this factor in their economic analysis of the acquisition and the related proposals discussed in this proxy statement.

Additionally, although it has been agreed among American Apparel and Endeavor that key officers and employees of American Apparel may be granted cash bonuses in connection with the consummation of the acquisition, neither the pool of eligible officers and employees nor individual bonus awards have been determined as of the date hereof. Bonuses in an aggregate amount of $2.5 million shall be awarded to key officers and employees of American Apparel in recognition of the contributions they have made to the successful completion of the acquisition and overall growth of American Apparel. However, specific details of those awards have not yet been determined and cannot be factored into your evaluation of the transaction.

Endeavor’s financial statements contain a statement indicating that its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on consummation of the acquisition.

As disclosed in the December 31, 2006 financial statements, Endeavor’s cash and working capital were insufficient to fund its operations for the next 12 months. The report of its independent registered public accounting firm on the financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the consummation of the acquisition. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As of September 30, 2007, the Company has negative working capital of $944,758, net of $128,374,498 of which is cash held in the Trust Account. On December 18, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an operating entity expected to be consummated in 2007. In order for the Company to continue to fund the operating costs associated with the acquisition, the Company’s officers have agreed to advance the Company enough capital in order to consummate the acquisition. There can be no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated. Should this Business Combination not be consummated, the Company would be required to return the funds held in the Trust Account to holders of shares issued in the Offering, as a mandatory liquidation, pursuant to a plan of dissolution and liquidation approved by stockholders. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The market for real estate in desirable retail store locations is competitive, which could hamper our ability to open new stores.

Our ability to obtain real estate to open new stores in desirable locations depends upon the availability of real estate that meets our criteria, which includes, among other items, projected foot traffic, square footage, demographics and whether we are able to negotiate lease terms that meet our operating budget. In addition, we

must be able to effectively renew our existing store leases from time to time. Failure to secure real estate in desirable locations on economically beneficial terms or to renew leases on existing store locations on economically beneficial terms could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Endeavor’s outstanding warrants and options may be exercised in the future, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to Endeavor’s stockholders.

Outstanding redeemable warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16,160,745 shares of common stock issued in Endeavor’s IPO will become exercisable after the consummation of the acquisition. These will be exercised only if the $6.00 per share exercise price is below the market price of Endeavor’s common stock. On November 1, 2007, the last sale price of a share of Endeavor common stock was $12.30, thereby creating incentive for warrant holders to exercise their warrants. Endeavor also has outstanding options to purchase 350,000 shares of its common stock and other warrants to purchase an additional 350,000 shares of its common stock. Immediately following the closing of the acquisition, assuming no conversions, Endeavor will have 57,168,810 shares outstanding. Giving effect to the foregoing assumptions, as well as the exercise of all of the outstanding warrants and options (and warrants underlying such options), there would be 74,029,555 shares outstanding. This substantial dilution would more than double the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of such shares.

There will be a substantial number of shares of Endeavor’s common stock available for sale in the future that may increase the volume of common stock available for sale in the open market and may cause a decline in the market price of Endeavor’s common stock.

The consideration to be issued in the acquisition to the American Apparel stockholders will include 37,258,065 shares of Endeavor common stock that will be issued at the closing, such shares being subject to downward adjustment based on American Apparel’s net debt. These shares are initially not being registered and will be restricted from public sale under the securities laws. All of these shares will be subject to the lock-up agreement and cannot be sold publicly until the expiration of the restricted period under the lock-up agreements and under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The presence of this additional number of shares of common stock eligible for trading in the public market after the lapse of the restrictions may have an adverse effect on the market price of Endeavor’s common stock.

Endeavor’s working capital will be reduced if Endeavor stockholders exercise their right to convert their shares into cash. This would reduce Endeavor’s cash reserve after the acquisition.

Pursuant to Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation, holders of shares issued in Endeavor’s IPO may vote against the acquisition and demand that we convert their shares calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated date of the consummation of the acquisition, into a pro rata share of the trust account where a substantial portion of the net proceeds of the IPO are held. Endeavor and American Apparel will not consummate the acquisition if holders of 3,232,149 or more shares of common stock issued in Endeavor’s IPO exercise these conversion rights. To the extent the acquisition is consummated and holders have demanded to so convert their shares, there will be a corresponding reduction in the amount of funds available to the combined company following the acquisition. As of November 1, 2007, assuming the acquisition proposal is adopted, the maximum amount of funds that could be disbursed to Endeavor’s stockholders upon the exercise of their conversion rights is approximately $25.7 million, or approximately 20% of the funds then held in the trust account. Any payment upon exercise of conversion rights will reduce Endeavor’s cash after the acquisition, which may limit Endeavor’s ability to implement American Apparel’s business plan.

Endeavor will effectively be required to consummate the Lim Buyout instead of Mr. Charney and the cash available to the combined companies for use in operations and expansion will therefore be significantly reduced.

Endeavor will effectively be required to consummate the Lim Buyout instead of Mr. Charney and will purchase all of Mr. Lim’s equity interests in the American Apparel companies for cash in the approximate

amount of $67.8 million, assuming a closing date of December 14, 2007. As a result, significantly less money will be available to the combined companies from the trust following consummation of the acquisition for use in the operations of American Apparel, funding American Apparel’s growth strategy and reducing American Apparel’s debt. This could result in American Apparel reducing its expansion efforts and could diminish American Apparel’s ability to replace existing credit facilities or negotiate improved terms thereon.

If Endeavor stockholders fail to vote or abstain from voting on the acquisition proposal, they may not exercise their conversion rights to convert their shares of common stock of Endeavor into a pro rata portion of the trust account as of the record date.

Endeavor stockholders holding shares of Endeavor common stock issued in Endeavor’s IPO who affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal may, at the same time, demand that we convert their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated date of the consummation of the acquisition. Endeavor stockholders who seek to exercise this conversion right must affirmatively vote against the acquisition and tender their shares (either physically or electronically) to Endeavor’s transfer agent after the special meeting. Any Endeavor stockholder who fails to vote or who abstains from voting on the acquisition proposal or who fails to tender their shares as required may not exercise his or her conversion rights and will not receive a pro rata portion of the trust account for conversion of his or her shares.

If we are unable to maintain listing of Endeavor’s securities on the American Stock Exchange or any stock exchange, it may be more difficult for Endeavor’s stockholders to sell their securities.

Endeavor’s units, common stock and warrants are currently traded on the American Stock Exchange. In connection with the acquisition, it is likely that the American Stock Exchange may require Endeavor to file a new initial listing application and meet its initial listing requirements as opposed to its more lenient continued listing requirements. We cannot assure you that Endeavor will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time. If the American Stock Exchange delists Endeavor’s securities from trading on its exchange, and Endeavor is unable to obtain listing on Nasdaq, Endeavor could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

•

a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

•

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for Endeavor;

•

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and

•

the foregoing factors could lead to reduced market prices for Endeavor’s Common Stock, which could lead to a determination that its common stock is a “penny stock,” which would require brokers trading in its common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for Endeavor’s common stock.

Our ability to request indemnification from American Apparel’s stockholders for damages arising out of the acquisition is limited to those claims where damages exceed $250,000 and are only indemnifiable to the extent that damages exceed $250,000.

At the closing of the acquisition, 8,064,516 shares of Endeavor common stock to be issued to Mr. Charney will be deposited in escrow as the sole remedy for the obligation of the American Apparel stockholders to indemnify and hold harmless Endeavor for any damages, whether as a result of any third party claim or otherwise, and which arise as a result of or in connection with the breach of representations and warranties and agreements and covenants of American Apparel. Claims for indemnification may only be asserted by Endeavor once the damages exceed $250,000 in the aggregate and are indemnifiable only to the extent that damages exceed $250,000. Accordingly, it is possible that Endeavor will not be entitled to indemnification even if American Apparel is found to have breached its representations and warranties contained in the Acquisition Agreement if such breach would only result in damages to Endeavor of less than $250,000.

Endeavor’s current directors and executive officers own shares of common stock that will become worthless if the acquisition is not approved. Consequently, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether particular changes to the terms of the business combination with American Apparel or waivers of conditions are appropriate.

All of Endeavor’s officers and directors or their affiliates beneficially own stock in Endeavor, which they purchased prior to Endeavor’s IPO. Endeavor’s executives and directors and their affiliates are not entitled to receive any of the cash proceeds that may be distributed upon Endeavor’s liquidation with respect to shares they acquired prior to Endeavor’s IPO. Therefore, if the acquisition is not approved and Endeavor is forced to liquidate, such shares held by such persons will be worthless, as will all of the warrants, and such shares and warrants cannot be sold by them prior to the consummation of the acquisition. In addition, if Endeavor liquidates prior to the consummation of a business combination, Eric Watson and Jonathan Ledecky, Endeavor’s chairman of the board and chief executive officer, respectively, will be personally liable to pay the debts and obligations, if any, to vendors and other entities that are owed money by Endeavor for services rendered or products sold to Endeavor, or to any target business, to the extent such creditors bring claims that would otherwise require payment from moneys in the trust account.

These personal and financial interests of Endeavor’s directors and officers may have influenced their decision to approve the business combination with American Apparel. In considering the recommendations of Endeavor’s board of directors to vote for the acquisition proposal and other proposals, you should consider these interests. Additionally, the exercise of Endeavor’s directors’ and executive officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the business combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the business combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in Endeavor’s stockholders’ best interest.

The Original Agreement has been amended and restated in its entirety by the Acquisition Agreement to provide for certain modifications to the terms of the acquisition, including eliminating EBITDA thresholds that American Apparel was required to meet and increasing the consideration being paid by Endeavor, which required Endeavor’s board to re-evaluate and reaffirm its approval of the transaction. You should base your decision on how to vote on the proposals on the information contained in the definitive proxy statement and not on the information contained in any preliminary proxy statement.

Under the terms of the Original Agreement, a condition to Endeavor consummating the acquisition was that American Apparel had EBITDA of at least $30 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 after giving effect to up to an aggregate of $5 million of adjustments for deferred rent, legal, litigation and workers’ compensation expenses. In April 2007, Endeavor agreed to allow certain adjustments above the original $5 million basket to accommodate an approximate $3.5 million inventory obsolescence reserve established for excess inventory in connection with American Apparel’s December 31, 2006 inventory valuation. In addition, Endeavor waived American Apparel’s breach of the Original Agreement caused by American Apparel’s failure to timely deliver its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 and also waived compliance with American Apparel’s obligation to deliver projections of EBITDA for 2007 and 2008. In November 2007, the Original Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety by the Acquisition Agreement to affect the foregoing waivers and adjustments and other changes including increasing the aggregate consideration issuable or payable by Endeavor in the acquisition. As a result, Endeavor’s board was required to re-evaluate the acquisition based on these modifications and voted to reaffirm its approval of the transaction. You should base your decision on how to vote on the proposals on the information contained in the definitive proxy statement.

Endeavor’s board did not obtain a fairness opinion with respect to the amended terms of the transaction.

Although the board of directors of Endeavor obtained an opinion that the consideration that was to be paid by Endeavor under the Original Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to the Endeavor stockholders, it did not obtain a fairness opinion with respect to the amended terms of the acquisition given time constraints

and lack of funds held outside of trust and because the board believed that the terms of the amended deal were in line with those upon which the original fairness opinion was obtained. According, there is no third party opinion as to the fairness to Endeavor’s stockholder from a financial point of view of the amended terms of the acquisition for your use in consideration of the acquisition. Investors should not rely on the opinion of Jefferies with respect to the fairness of the amended terms of the acquisition.

If we are unable to complete the business combination with American Apparel and are forced to dissolve and liquidate, third parties may bring claims against us and as a result, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $7.97 per share.

As of November 1, 2007, Endeavor held approximately $128.7 million in the trust account, or approximately $7.97 per share of Endeavor common stock issued for the IPO. If we are unable to complete the business combination with American Apparel by December 15, 2007 and are forced to dissolve and liquidate, third parties may bring claims against us. Although we have obtained waiver agreements from the vendors and service providers we have engaged and owe money to, and the prospective target businesses we have negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust fund, there is no guarantee that they will not seek recourse against the trust fund notwithstanding such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a court will uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims that could take priority over those of Endeavor’s public stockholders. Additionally, if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Endeavor’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Endeavor’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return to Endeavor’s public stockholders at least $7.97 per share.

If we do not consummate the business combination with American Apparel by December 15, 2007 and are forced to dissolve and liquidate, payments from the trust account to Endeavor’s public stockholders may be delayed.

If we do not consummate the business combination with American Apparel by December 15, 2007, we will dissolve and liquidate. We anticipate that, promptly after such date, the following would occur:

•

Endeavor’s board of directors will convene and adopt a specific plan of dissolution and liquidation, which it will then vote to recommend to Endeavor’s stockholders; at such time it will also cause to be prepared a preliminary proxy statement setting out such plan of dissolution and liquidation as well as the board’s recommendation of such plan;

•

we will promptly file Endeavor’s preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

•

if the Securities and Exchange Commission does not review the preliminary proxy statement, then, 10 days following the filing of such preliminary proxy statement, we will mail the definitive proxy statement to Endeavor’s stockholders, and 10 to 20 days following the mailing of such definitive proxy statement, we will convene a meeting of Endeavor’s stockholders, at which they will vote on Endeavor’s plan of dissolution and liquidation; and

•

if the Securities and Exchange Commission does review the preliminary proxy statement, we currently estimate that we will receive their comments 30 days after the filing of such proxy statement. We would then mail the definite proxy statement to Endeavor’s stockholders following the conclusion of the comment and review process (the length of which we cannot predict with any certainty, and which may be substantial) and we will convene a meeting of Endeavor’s stockholders at which they will vote on Endeavor’s plan of dissolution and liquidation.

We expect that all costs associated with the implementation and completion of Endeavor’s plan of dissolution and liquidation will be funded by any remaining net assets not held in the trust account, although we

cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. If such funds are insufficient, we anticipate that Endeavor’s management will advance us the funds necessary to complete such dissolution and liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $50,000) and not seek reimbursements thereof.

We will not liquidate the trust account unless and until Endeavor’s stockholders approve Endeavor’s plan of dissolution and liquidation. Accordingly, the foregoing procedures may result in substantial delays in Endeavor’s liquidation and the distribution to Endeavor’s public stockholders of the funds in Endeavor’s trust account and any remaining net assets as part of Endeavor’s plan of dissolution and liquidation.

Endeavor’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them.

If we are unable to complete the business combination with American Apparel, we will dissolve and liquidate pursuant to Section 275 of the DGCL. Under Sections 280 through 282 of the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in dissolution. Pursuant to Section 280, if the corporation complies with certain procedures intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provisions for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of a stockholder with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. Although we will seek stockholder approval to liquidate the trust account to Endeavor’s public stockholders as part of Endeavor’s plan of dissolution and liquidation, we will seek to conclude this process as soon as possible and as a result do not intend to comply with those procedures. Because we will not be complying with those procedures, we are required, pursuant to Section 281 of the DGCL, to adopt a plan that will provide for Endeavor’s payment, based on facts known to us at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years. Accordingly, we would be required to provide for any creditors known to us at that time or those that we believe could be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years prior to distributing the funds held in the trust to stockholders. We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, Endeavor’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them in dissolution (but no more) and any liability of Endeavor’s stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such dissolution. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from Endeavor’s stockholders amounts owed to them by us.

Additionally, if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us that are not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders in Endeavor’s dissolution might be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Endeavor’s stockholders in Endeavor’s dissolution. Furthermore, because we intend to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to Endeavor’s public stockholders as soon as possible after Endeavor’s dissolution, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to Endeavor’s public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from Endeavor’s assets. Furthermore, Endeavor’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Endeavor’s creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and Endeavor’s company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors or complying with certain provisions of the DGCL with respect to Endeavor’s dissolution and liquidation. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

Voting control by the combined companies’ executive officers, directors and other affiliates may limit your ability to influence the outcome of director elections and other matters requiring stockholder approval.

Upon consummation of the acquisition, the persons who are parties to the voting agreement, Mr. Charney and the Endeavor Inside Stockholders, will own approximately 71.7% of Endeavor’s voting stock. These persons have agreed to vote for each other’s designees to Endeavor’s board of directors through director elections in 2010. Accordingly, they will be able to control the election of directors and, therefore, Endeavor’s policies and direction during the term of the voting agreement. This concentration of ownership and voting agreement could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in Endeavor’s control or discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market price of Endeavor’s common stock or prevent Endeavor’s stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their shares of common stock.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We believe that some of the information in this proxy statement constitutes forward-looking statements within the definition of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. However, the safe-harbor provisions of that act do not apply to statements made in this proxy statement. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intends” and “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:

•

discuss future expectations;

•

contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition; or

•

state other “forward-looking” information.

We believe it is important to communicate Endeavor’s expectations to Endeavor’s stockholders. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors and cautionary language discussed in this proxy statement provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by us or American Apparel in such forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this proxy statement.

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to any of Endeavor, American Apparel or any person acting on either party’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, Endeavor and American Apparel undertake no obligations to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this proxy statement or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Before you grant your proxy or instruct how your vote should be cast or vote on the adoption of the proposals, you should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this proxy statement could have a material adverse effect on Endeavor and American Apparel.

SPECIAL MEETING OF ENDEAVOR STOCKHOLDERS

General

We are furnishing this proxy statement to Endeavor stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by Endeavor’s board of directors for use at the special meeting of Endeavor stockholders to be held on December 12, 2007, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement is first being furnished to Endeavor’s stockholders on or about November 30, 2007 in connection with the vote on the acquisition proposal, the certificate of incorporation amendments and performance equity plan proposal. This document provides you with the information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct your vote to be cast at the special meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The special meeting of stockholders will be held on December 12, 2007, at 10:00 a.m., eastern time, at the offices of Graubard Miller, Endeavor’s general counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10174.

Purpose of the Endeavor Special Meeting

At the special meeting, we are asking holders of Endeavor common stock to:

•

approve and adopt the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (acquisition proposal);

•

approve an amendment to Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation to change Endeavor’s name from “Endeavor Acquisition Corp.” to “American Apparel, Inc.” (name change amendment proposal);

•

approve an amendment to Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Endeavor’s common stock from 75,000,000 to 120,000,000 (capitalization amendment proposal);

•

approve an amendment to Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation to remove the preamble and sections A through D, inclusive, of Article Sixth from the certificate of incorporation from and after the closing of the acquisition, as these provisions will no longer be applicable to us, and to redesignate section E of Article Sixth, which relates to the staggered board, as Article Sixth (Article Sixth amendment proposal);

•

approve the adoption of the 2007 performance equity plan (performance equity plan proposal) under which 7,710,000 shares shall be reserved for issuance for options and other awards that may be granted thereunder; and

•

approve a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, Endeavor is not authorized to consummate the acquisition (adjournment proposal).

Recommendation of Endeavor Board of Directors

Endeavor’s board of directors:

•

has unanimously determined that the acquisition proposal and each of the other proposals are fair to and in the best interests of Endeavor and its stockholders;

•

has unanimously approved the acquisition proposal and each of the name change amendment, the capitalization amendment, the Article Sixth amendment, the performance equity plan and adjournment proposals;

•

unanimously recommends that Endeavor’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the acquisition proposal;

•

unanimously recommends that Endeavor’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the name change amendment proposal;

•

unanimously recommends that Endeavor’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the capitalization amendment proposal;

•

unanimously recommends that Endeavor’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the Article Sixth amendment proposal;

•

unanimously recommends that Endeavor’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the performance equity plan; and

•

if necessary, unanimously recommends that Endeavor’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the adjournment proposal.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

We have fixed the close of business on November 16, 2007, as the “record date” for determining the Endeavor stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the special meeting. As of November 16, 2007, the record date, there were 19,910,745 shares of Endeavor’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Endeavor’s common stock is entitled to one vote per share at the special meeting.

Pursuant to agreements with us, the 3,750,000 shares of Endeavor’s common stock held by the Endeavor Inside Stockholders will be voted on the acquisition proposal in accordance with the majority of the votes cast at the special meeting.

Quorum

The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of all the outstanding shares of common stock constitutes a quorum at the special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

If you do not give your broker voting instructions, under the rules of the NASD, your broker may not vote your shares on the acquisition proposal, or any of the name change amendment, capitalization amendment, Article Sixth amendment, performance equity plan, or adjournment proposals. Since a stockholder must affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal to have conversion rights, individuals who fail to vote or who abstain from voting may not exercise their conversion rights. Beneficial holders of shares held in “street name” that are voted against the acquisition may exercise their conversion rights, provided that, within the period specified in a notice they will receive from Endeavor, which period will be not less than 20 days, they either have their shares certificated and deliver the certificates to Endeavor’s transfer agent or deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian) System. See the information set forth in “Special Meeting of Endeavor Stockholders—Conversion Rights.”

Vote of Endeavor’s Stockholders Required

The approval of the acquisition proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Endeavor common stock sold in the IPO that are cast at the special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purpose of establishing a quorum, will have no effect on the acquisition proposal. You cannot seek conversion unless you affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal.

The name change amendment, the capitalization amendment and the Article Sixth amendment proposals will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Endeavor common stock outstanding on the record date. Because each of these proposals to amend Endeavor’s charter requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding, abstentions and shares not entitled to vote because of a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” these proposals. In order to consummate the acquisition, each of the name change amendment and the capitalization amendment proposals must be approved by the stockholders. For both of the name change amendment and the capitalization amendment to be implemented, the acquisition proposal must be approved by the stockholders.

The approval of the performance equity plan and adjournment proposals will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Endeavor’s common stock represented and entitled to vote at the meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the performance equity plan and adjournment proposals and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purpose of establishing a quorum, will have no effect on the performance equity plan or adjournment proposals.

Endeavor’s initial stockholders who purchased their shares of common stock prior to Endeavor’s IPO, and which include all of Endeavor’s directors and executive officers and their affiliates and are referred to collectively in this proxy statement as the “Endeavor Inside Stockholders,” currently own an aggregate of approximately 18.8% of the outstanding shares of Endeavor common stock. Each of the Endeavor Inside Stockholders has agreed to vote all of the shares they purchased prior to the IPO on the acquisition proposal in accordance with the vote of the majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares issued in the IPO. Accordingly, their vote will have no effect on the outcome of the acquisition proposal. The Endeavor Inside Stockholders also have indicated that they intend to vote such shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the special meeting. The Endeavor Inside Stockholders also have indicated that they intend to vote any shares they acquire after the IPO for all of the proposals. As of the record date, the Endeavor Inside Stockholders have not acquired any additional shares of Endeavor common stock since the IPO.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of Endeavor common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of Endeavor’s common stock that you own.

There are two ways to vote your shares of Endeavor common stock at the special meeting:

•

You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by Endeavor’s board “FOR” the adoption of the acquisition proposal, the name change amendment, the capitalization amendment, the Article Sixth amendment and the performance equity plan proposals. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the special meeting will not be counted.

•

You can attend the special meeting and vote in person. We will give you a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

IF YOU DO NOT VOTE YOUR SHARES OF ENDEAVOR’S COMMON STOCK IN ANY OF THE WAYS DESCRIBED ABOVE AGAINST THE ACQUISITION PROPOSAL, SUCH FAILURE WILL NOT HAVE THE EFFECT OF A DEMAND FOR CONVERSION OF YOUR SHARES INTO A PRO RATA SHARE OF THE TRUST ACCOUNT IN WHICH A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS OF ENDEAVOR’S IPO ARE HELD.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before the vote is taken at the meeting by doing any one of the following:

•

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

•

you may notify Endeavor (Attention: Martin Dolfi) in writing before the special meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•

you may attend the special meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares of Endeavor’s common stock, you may call Morrow & Co., Inc., Endeavor’s proxy solicitor, at (800) 607-0088, or Martin Dolfi at Endeavor at (212) 683-5350.

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Special Meeting

This special meeting has been called only to consider the adoption of the acquisition proposal, the name change amendment, the capitalization amendment, the Article Sixth amendment and the performance equity plan proposals. Under Endeavor’s bylaws, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the meeting, no other matters may be considered at the special meeting if they are not included in the notice of the meeting.

Conversion Rights

Any of Endeavor’s stockholders holding shares of Endeavor common stock issued in Endeavor’s IPO as of the record date who affirmatively votes these shares against the acquisition proposal may also demand that we convert his or her shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated date of the consummation of the acquisition. Any holders seeking such conversion must affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes do not satisfy this requirement.

Additionally, holders demanding conversion must continue to hold their shares through the closing of the meeting and then deliver their shares (either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian System) to our transfer agent within the period specified in a notice they will receive from Endeavor, which period will be not less than 20 days. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be converted into cash. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of our common stock for cash and will no longer own those shares.

The closing price of Endeavor’s common stock on November 16, 2007, the record date, was $12.95 per share and pro rata cash held in the trust account on the record date was approximately $7.97 per share sold in the IPO. Prior to exercising conversion rights, Endeavor’s stockholders should verify the market price of Endeavor’s common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their conversion rights if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price. We cannot assure Endeavor stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of Endeavor common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in Endeavor’s securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If the holders of approximately 3,232,149 or more shares of common stock issued in Endeavor’s IPO (an amount equal to 20% or more of those shares), vote against the acquisition and properly demand conversion of

their shares, we will not be able to consummate the acquisition. In such case, or in any other circumstances in which the acquisition is not completed, shares of holders who demand conversion will not be converted to cash. However, in such circumstances, Endeavor will be dissolved and liquidated and all holders of shares issued in its IPO will receive their pro rata share of amounts in the trust account. Although both the per share liquidation price and the per share conversion price are equal to the amount of trust funds in the trust account divided by the number of shares issued in the IPO, the amount a holder of shares issued in the IPO would receive at liquidation may be greater or less than the amount such a holder would have received had it sought conversion of his shares and Endeavor consummates the acquisition because (i) there will be greater earned interest net of taxes in the trust account at the time of a liquidation distribution since it would occur at a later date than a conversion and (ii) Endeavor may incur expenses it otherwise would not incur if Endeavor consummates the acquisition, including, potentially, claims requiring payment from the trust account by creditors who have not waived their rights against the trust account. Eric Watson, our chairman, and Jon Ledecky, our chief executive officer and a director, will be personally liable under certain circumstances (for example, if a vendor successfully makes a claim against funds in the trust account) to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of prospective target businesses and vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or products sold to us. While Endeavor has no reason to believe that Messrs. Watson and Ledecky will not be able to satisfy those obligations, there cannot be any assurance to that effect. See the section entitled “Other Information Related to Endeavor—Liquidation If No Business Combination” for additional information.

Appraisal Rights

Stockholders of Endeavor do not have appraisal rights in connection the acquisition under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

We are soliciting proxies on behalf of Endeavor’s board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. We and our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by facsimile or email.

We have hired Morrow & Co., Inc. to assist in the proxy solicitation process. We will pay Morrow & Co., Inc. a fee of approximately $7,000 plus reasonable out-of pocket charges and a flat fee of $3.20 per outbound proxy solicitation call. Such fee will be paid with non-trust account funds.

We will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward its proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. We will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Endeavor Inside Stockholders

At the close of business on the record date, the Endeavor Inside Stockholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 3,750,000 shares or approximately 18.8% of the then outstanding shares of Endeavor’s common stock, which includes all of the shares held by Endeavor’s directors and executive officers and their affiliates. Among the Endeavor Inside Stockholders is Eric Watson, Endeavor’s current chairman of the board, and Jonathan Ledecky, Endeavor’s current chief executive officer. All of the Endeavor Inside Stockholders have agreed to vote their shares on the acquisition proposal in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares issued in Endeavor’s IPO. The Endeavor Inside Stockholders also have indicated that they intend to vote their Original Shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. These Endeavor Inside Stockholders have also indicated they intend to vote any shares they acquired after the IPO for all of the proposals. As of the record date, the Endeavor Inside Stockholders have not acquired any additional shares of Endeavor common stock since the IPO. All of the Endeavor Inside Stockholders also agreed, in connection with the IPO, to place their shares in escrow until December 15, 2008.

THE ACQUISITION PROPOSAL

The discussion in this document of the acquisition and the principal terms of the Acquisition Agreement by and among Endeavor, Merger Sub, each of the American Apparel companies, and the American Apparel stockholders is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Acquisition Agreement. A copy of the Acquisition Agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement.

General Description of the Acquisition

The Acquisition Agreement provides for a business combination transaction in which:

•

American Apparel will merge into the Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Endeavor and Endeavor changing its name to “American Apparel, Inc.”;

•

Endeavor will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of each of the CI companies, and each such company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endeavor; and

•

Merger Sub will be renamed “American Apparel (USA), LLC” after Closing.

In return for all of the capital stock in each of the American Apparel companies, Mr. Charney will receive from Endeavor an aggregate of 37,258,065 shares of Endeavor common stock, subject to downward adjustment if American Apparel’s net debt at the close of business on the date two business days prior to the Closing is more than $150,000,000. As of September 30, 2007, such net debt was approximately $124.7 million. Accordingly, it is not anticipated that the shares to be issued to Mr. Charney at the Closing of the acquisition will be adjusted downward. See the section entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Acquisition Consideration—Reduction of Shares Based on Net Debt.”

Following the consummation of the acquisition, Endeavor will pay an aggregate of $2.5 million of cash bonuses to key American Apparel officers and employees in recognition of the contributions they have made to the successful completion of the acquisitions and the growth of American Apparel. As of the date of this proxy statement, American Apparel is still reviewing the recommendations of its management team and American Apparel believes that it is premature to include a more definitive breakdown of the awards that may be granted to key personnel. The terms of the Acquisition Agreement require American Apparel to identify those individuals who shall receive cash bonuses, together with the amount of such payments, at or prior to the Closing. In light of this requirement, as well as the ongoing review of the contributions of key personnel to the company, the specific amounts and persons to whom these bonuses will be allocated cannot be set forth herein. See the section entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Acquisition Consideration.”

As a result of the acquisition, and assuming that there is no adjustment to the number of shares issued based on American Apparel’s net debt and that:

•

assuming 19.99% of the common stock issued in Endeavor’s initial public offering votes against the acquisition and such stock is converted into cash, Mr. Charney will own approximately 69.1% of the outstanding Endeavor common stock and the current stockholders of Endeavor will own approximately 30.9% of the outstanding common stock of Endeavor immediately following the Closing.

Background of the Acquisition

The Original Agreement was executed by the parties thereto as of December 18, 2006. On November 7, 2007, the Acquisition Agreement, which amends and restates the Original Agreement in its entirety, was executed and made effective by the parties thereto. The terms of the Acquisition Agreement were the result of

arm’s-length negotiations between representatives of Endeavor and American Apparel. The following is a discussion of the background of these negotiations, the Acquisition Agreement and related transactions.

Endeavor was formed on July 22, 2005 to effect an acquisition, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business. Endeavor completed its IPO on December 21, 2005, raising gross proceeds, including proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, of approximately $129,285,959. Of these proceeds, approximately $121,030,234 were placed in a trust account immediately following the IPO and, in accordance with Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation, will be released either upon the consummation of a business combination or upon the liquidation of Endeavor. As of September 30, 2007, the trust account had $127,374,498 contained therein. Endeavor must liquidate unless it has consummated a business combination by December 21, 2007. As of November 1, 2007, approximately $128.7 million was held in deposit in the trust account.

Promptly following Endeavor’s IPO, Endeavor contacted several investment banks, including Jefferies, private equity firms, consulting firms, legal and accounting firms and numerous business associates. Endeavor did not enter into any agreements with these entities or other parties with respect to the identification of potential acquisition targets other than, in June 2006, retaining Martin Dolfi as a consultant to assist Endeavor’s management with day to day operations and the objectives of the company. The consulting agreement terminates on December 15, 2007 and provides for a base annual fee of $125,000, paid in equal monthly installments. Additionally, the consulting agreement provides that Mr. Dolfi will receive 12,500 shares of Endeavor common stock upon consummation of a business combination and an additional 12,500 shares of Endeavor common stock on the six month anniversary of such closing. Mr. Dolfi is also reimbursed for reasonable out of pocket expenses. Neither Endeavor nor American Apparel has any other agreement or arrangement with any such entities or other parties relating to any finder’s fees to be paid in connection with the acquisition.

Through these efforts, Endeavor identified and reviewed information with respect to more than 100 acquisition opportunities based on the acquisition criteria disclosed in the IPO prospectus that Endeavor developed during the process of completing its IPO. Among these opportunities, Endeavor focused on companies that had the best combination of the following characteristics:

•

demonstrated revenue generation,

•

compelling growth prospects,

•

attractive profit margins (current or potential),

•

talented management with an interest in continuing at the company,

•

reasonable valuation expectations,

•

the ability to deploy capital productively,

•

a willingness to operate as a publicly-traded company, and

•

an understanding and acceptance of Endeavor’s structure, acquisition process and timing.

As discussed below, Endeavor entered into discussions with several companies that it believed met most or all of the foregoing criteria. It exchanged information with these companies, including business plans and financial information and held bilateral management presentations. Although Endeavor investigated these opportunities in varying depth, none resulted in the execution of any preliminary letter of intent or memorandum of understanding. Endeavor declined to move forward on some opportunities because it did not believe the financial characteristics, business dynamics, management teams, attainable valuations and/or deal structures were suitable. There were also companies that were not interested in pursuing a deal with Endeavor based on its publicly-traded status, capital structure or ability to close with sufficient certainty or speed or which decided to accept competitive bids from other acquirers.

On January 13, 2006, Jon Ledecky, Endeavor’s chief executive officer, met with representatives of an investment banking firm that had no prior relationship with Endeavor to discuss potential transactions that might be available to Endeavor. The investment bankers noted that their company had a relationship with a private equity firm that owned a branded restaurant chain with franchising operations that was headquartered in Los Angeles, California. In February 2006, a preliminary meeting between representatives of Endeavor and this potential target company were schedule for March 2006. On March 11, 2006, Mr. Ledecky met with a representative of the target business in Washington D.C. to discuss a potential transaction and how the target company might be able to grow its operations post-acquisition. In May and June 2006, additional meetings were held among principals of Endeavor, including Mr. Ledecky, principals of the potential target company and principals of the private equity firm that owned such company and information was exchanged between the participants. These meetings resulted in an initial valuation of the target company being set at $125 million. The private equity firm thereafter arranged for Mr. Ledecky and Eric J. Watson, Endeavor’s chairman of the board, to visit the target company’s headquarters in California and conduct due diligence meetings. These meetings occurred on July 2, 3 and 4, 2006. As the process continued, Endeavor was advised by the private equity firm that owned the target company that another private investment firm had made an offer on the target business for cash with a proposed immediate closing. Discussions between Endeavor and this target company were terminated.

On March 14, 2006, Mr. Ledecky met with representatives from the same investment banking firm it met with on January 13, 2006, to discuss additional potential transactions that may be available to Endeavor. The investment bankers noted that a well-known national chain of weight loss centers headquartered in California was for sale by its private equity owners. It was further noted that another investment bank was handling the sale on behalf of the owners and that a formal process for such sale had commenced. This formal process included an existing offering memorandum and the need for any potential bidder to make a qualifying bid to pursue due diligence. At the March 14, 2006 meeting, Mr. Ledecky instructed the investment bank with whom he was meeting to contact the investment bank representing the target company owners to obtain an offering memorandum and to commence structuring a bid to qualify for further due diligence. The preliminary bid communicated to the target company group was in the $600-$650 million range and Endeavor was allowed to proceed with further due diligence. On April 24, 2006, Messrs Ledecky and Watson met with the entire senior management team of the target company and representatives of the target company’s investment bank. Endeavor received a full presentation by senior management and conducted extensive on-site due diligence along with representatives from a large institutional hedge fund willing to co-invest with Endeavor. Mr. Ledecky then held several telephonic meetings with members of the target company’s management team during May 2007. On June 19, 2006, the target company announced that it had agreed to be acquired by one of the leading global conglomerates in the food industry for $600 million.

On July 17, 2006, Mr. Ledecky met with representatives of another investment banking firm that had no prior relationship with Endeavor to discuss potential transactions that might be available to Endeavor. The investment bankers noted they had as a client that is a restaurant chain headquartered in California that had strong regional brand recognition on the West Coast. On August 14, 2006, Mr. Ledecky conducted initial due diligence on the target company and its brand, which included visits to several of the target company’s California locations. On September 9, 2006, Mr. Ledecky met in Dallas, Texas with a representative of the investment bank that had identified the target company to Endeavor and a member of the board of directors of the target company to discuss Endeavor and its structure and information related to Endeavor’s continuing due diligence process. On September 26, 27 and 28, 2006, meeting were held in the target company’s California headquarters between the target company’s entire senior management, Messrs. Ledecky and Watson and representatives of the investment bank . Endeavor proposed the basic terms of a proposed transaction, including an initial valuation of the target company of between $150 million and $200 million. The meetings were adjourned and it was agreed that the target company would consider the proposal. On October 10, 2006, Endeavor was notified by the target company’s investment bankers that the target company did not believe it was well-positioned to make the transition from a private company to a public company. Discussions were then terminated.

On July 18, 2006, Mr. Ledecky met in New York with principal shareholders of a regional ethanol producer headquartered in the Midwestern United States and representatives of the investment banking firm representing the target company. In July 2006, Mr. Edward Mathias, a member of the board of directors of Endeavor, held an additional meeting with one of the principal shareholders of the target company. On July 27, 2006, an additional meeting was in New York among principals of Endeavor, including Mr. Ledecky, a principal shareholder of the target company and members of management of the target company. During the following two weeks, due diligence and valuation discussions were held and a proposed purchase price for the target company in the $150-200 million range was discussed. On August 8, 2006, a meeting was held in New York with a principal shareholder of the target company and representatives of certain investment banks that Endeavor had worked with in connection with other potential targets. The principal shareholder indicated that a purchase price in the $200-250 million range would be necessary to buy the target company. Endeavor, in consultation with the investment bankers determined that this price was not in the best interests of Endeavor. Discussions with the target company were then terminated.

In July 2006, Mr. Ledecky met with Endeavor consultant, Mr. Dolfi, to discuss deal flow. During this meeting between Messrs. Ledecky and Dolfi they discussed the philosophy espoused by Mr. Peter Lynch of “investing in what you know.” Mr. Ledecky then asked for examples of products that Mr. Dolfi used and enjoyed. Mr. Dolfi indicated that he enjoyed the clothing sold at American Apparel. As a way to reinforce the discussion, Mr. Ledecky instructed Mr. Dolfi to research the American Apparel company. Mr. Dolfi returned in August 2006 with a research book presentation on American Apparel. Mr. Ledecky then instructed Mr. Dolfi to determine whether American Apparel had a business development officer. Prior to this time, Mr. Dolfi had never had any contact with American Apparel and there had been no direct or indirect contact between Endeavor and American Apparel. At the time of this meeting, there existed no affiliations or relationships between any of Endeavor’s and American Apparel’s respective officers, directors, stockholders or other affiliates.

Mr. Dolfi placed a preliminary call to American Apparel’s principal offices in Los Angeles, California on September 10, 2006 and was directed to Mr. Adrian Kowalewski, an executive officer in charge of corporate development for American Apparel. During this call, Messrs. Dolfi and Kowalewski had preliminary discussions as to whether American Apparel would be receptive to a business combination. At this time Endeavor was advised that American Apparel would be interested in receiving additional information about Endeavor and continuing a dialogue. Prior to this initial contact, there had been no contact between American Apparel and Endeavor, its officers, directors, affiliates or any other person on Endeavor’s behalf.

On September 11, 2006, Mr. Dolfi sent preliminary information about Endeavor to Mr. Kowalewski. On September 26, 2006, a meeting among Messrs. Watson, Ledecky and Kowalewski took place at American Apparel’s Los Angeles headquarters. Mr. Kowalewski gave Messrs. Watson and Ledecky a tour of the facilities and answered preliminary questions.

In early October 2006, Mr. Watson was contacted by a private equity owner of a leading fashion accessory company. Endeavor had an initial exchange of information with the target company, and during October 2006, held several telephonic meetings with representatives of the target company. On October 20, 2006, Endeavor made an initial bid for the target company of approximately 175 million British Pounds Sterling. However, in early November 2006, Endeavor was advised that the target company had elected to accept a bid from another party.

On a regular basis throughout October 2006, Messrs. Dolfi and Kowalewski held discussions and exchanged information about American Apparel. Valuation discussions of a general nature took place as the two companies exchanged information.

On October 25, 2006, Mr. Ledecky received a call from Mr. Charney, American Apparel’s chief executive officer and founder. During this conversation, Mr. Ledecky shared information about Endeavor and answered

questions regarding Endeavor’s philosophy with respect to seeking target companies and for the operations and growth of a target post-acquisition. Messrs. Ledecky and Charney also discussed the structural issues surrounding a blank check company. As part of their discussion, Mr. Charney advised Mr. Ledecky that he was currently finalizing long-term negotiations with Mr. Lim, pursuant to which Mr. Charney would purchase of all of Mr. Lim’s interest in AAI and LLC for approximately $60 million. Mr. Charney advised Mr. Ledecky that discussions regarding Mr. Charney’s buyout of Mr. Lim’s interests began in late November/early December of 2005. Preliminary terms were agreed to in principle on or about December 6, 2005. The final terms of the option were negotiated by the parties and their respective counsel on and off for a number of months and the parties, independent of any discussions among American Apparel and Endeavor, finalized their negotiations and executed a definitive option agreement on November 9, 2006. Mr. Charney advised Mr. Ledecky of the possible buyout of Mr. Lim during their initial telephone conversation on October 25, 2006. At that time the negotiations between Messrs. Charney and Lim were substantially complete and the transaction was being reduced to writing. The terms of the final option agreement were: Mr. Lim granted Mr. Charney and AAI, collectively, an option to purchase all of his interests in AAI and LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $60 million. The consideration for the option was $10.00 and the term of the option was set to expire at 5:00 PDT on May 1, 2007.

On October 26, 2006, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky visited Mr. Charney in Montreal, Canada and during this visit reviewed American Apparel’s history and operations, as well as its on-line and information technology operations, and toured several of American Apparel’s Montreal retail locations. Messrs. Watson, Ledecky and Charney met again over dinner to discuss the companies and their respective backgrounds in greater detail.

From November 13 to November 17, 2006, Mr. Dolfi toured American Apparel’s California facilities and retail locations and conducted financial and general due diligence. From November 20 to November 22, 2006, Messrs. Charney and Ledecky met in New York City in a series of meetings to negotiate the general terms of the transaction. These meetings also included tours of American Apparel’s various New York City retail stores and operations.

On November 22, 2006, Messrs. Charney and Ledecky, together with Mr. Keith Miller (an advisor to Mr. Charney) and Mr. Michael Rapp of Broadband Capital Management LLC, an underwriter of Endeavor’s IPO, met in Mr. Rapp’s offices in New York to discuss the potential transaction and to provide Messrs. Miller and Charney with additional information on special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”).

On November 22, 2006, a letter of intent was executed by Endeavor and American Apparel. The terms of the letter of intent provided for (i) the issuance to Mr. Charney of $190 million of Endeavor common stock valued at $7.75 per share (i.e., 24,516,129 shares), (ii) payment of $60 million to Mr. Charney to be used at closing of the acquisition to repurchase all of Mr. Lim’s equity interests in American Apparel (under the terms of an existing option agreement between Messrs. Charney and Lim, discussed below), and the assumption of American Apparel’s debt, which was not to exceed $80 million at closing of the acquisition. The number of shares issuable to Mr. Charney was subject to downward adjustment in the event American Apparel’s EBITDA for 2006 was less than $40 million or its projected 2007 EBITDA was less than $57 million, in each case as adjusted for deferred rent, litigation and other appropriate items. The terms were the result of arms-length negotiations by the parties and based on a valuation of American Apparel by Endeavor as discussed in “The Acquisition Proposal - Endeavors’ Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Acquisition - Valuation.” The equity/cash makeup of the transaction consideration was mutually desired by the parties. Mr. Charney expressed a desire to receive consideration in shares of Endeavor common stock in order to participate in what he believed would be strong growth of the combined companies following the acquisition. Endeavor favored a large stock component as well, believing that equity in the post-acquisition company would favorably incentivize Mr. Charney in his efforts to continue growing American Apparel.

In the initial negotiations between Endeavor and American Apparel, it was maintained by American Apparel that the consideration in the acquisition would need to include $60 million to fund the Lim Buyout. Given its valuation of American Apparel, Endeavor viewed the opportunity to acquire Mr. Lim’s position for $60 million

cash and to reduce the number of shares of common stock issued in the acquisition favorably. As the option agreement between Messrs. Charney and Lim would expire before the procedures to consummate the acquisition could be completed, an extension of the option was negotiated. In consideration of the extension of the time to exercise the option for the Lim Buyout, it was agreed that the purchase price for Mr. Lim’s equity in AAI would be $60 million plus an additional cash price equal to (x) $60 million divided by 365, (y) multiplied by 0.20, (z) multiplied by the number of days after May 1, 2007 that the Lim Buyout is consummated. This total price is referred to as the “Lim Payment Amount.” It was also agreed that if the Lim Buyout is not consummated by Mr. Charney prior to Closing, Endeavor would effect the Lim Buyout directly by reducing the number of shares of Endeavor common stock to be issued to Mr. Charney by a number equal to the Lim Payment Amount divided by $7.75 and paying to Mr. Lim the Lim Payment Amount in cash. If the acquisition were consummated on October 31, 2007, and Endeavor was required to affect the Lim Buyout on the same date, the number of shares issued to Mr. Charney, as reduced, would be 23,739,815 and Endeavor would pay Mr. Lim $66,016,438.

On November 23, 2006, Endeavor delivered to American Apparel an extensive due diligence request list. Endeavor began to focus its resources on compiling and reviewing in detail the due diligence materials received from American Apparel. Endeavor provided copies of all diligence information received by Endeavor to its counsel, Graubard Miller, for review and legal due diligence. Additionally, Endeavor instructed Graubard Miller to begin preparation of the first draft of a definitive acquisition agreement consistent with the terms of the letter of intent. Throughout the due diligence process, Endeavor and its counsel had numerous telephone conversations with individuals at American Apparel in order to discuss issues relating to the potential transaction.

During the week of December 4, 2006, a series of all-day meetings were held at American Apparel’s headquarters in Los Angeles. The Endeavor due diligence team included Messrs. Ledecky and Dolfi and consultants from Bendon, an apparel company controlled by Mr. Watson. Representatives of Jefferies, which we subsequently retained in connection with rendering a fairness opinion, were also in attendance. During this visit to American Apparel’s facilities, Endeavor interviewed more than 30 American Apparel employees across the various departments of American Apparel. Endeavor also held meetings with the audit partner of American Apparel’s outside certified public accountant. Endeavor also conducted a series of meetings with consultants hired by American Apparel to interface with its senior lenders and subordinated debt lenders. Endeavor conducted telephonic meetings with all of American Apparel’s secured lenders, in each instance, with American Apparel’s chief financial officer, Ken Cieply.

In December 2006, Endeavor retained the services of ICR, LLC as an investor relations consultant to assist Endeavor in developing and disseminating investor presentations and communications. Endeavor pays ICR a fee of $12,000 per month, plus expenses, and will issue ICR 9,700 shares of Endeavor common stock upon Closing. There is no affiliation between ICR and Endeavor or American Apparel or any of their respective officers, directors or stockholders.

Endeavor’s due diligence also included numerous calls with Marcum & Kliegman LLP, both with and without representatives from American Apparel on the phone, where American Apparel’s financial statements, financial reporting systems and significant accounting policies were discussed. Marcum & Kliegman did not provide any report, opinion or appraisal materially relating to the transaction. Marcum & Kliegman is the independent outside auditor for Endeavor and became the independent outside auditor for American Apparel after the Original Agreement was executed. Marcum & Kliegman maintains separate audit teams for each of Endeavor and American Apparel, which teams are independent of one another.

On numerous occasions through the process, Endeavor’s board of directors discussed the terms of the letter of intent and proposed business combination with American Apparel. All of Endeavor’s directors received a copy of the letter of intent as well as financial, operational and descriptive information about American Apparel. The directors were continuously updated as to the status of the due diligence and negotiations, and copies of the most recent drafts of the significant transaction documents were delivered to the directors in connection with their consideration of the proposed business combination with American Apparel.

Throughout the period from November 23, 2006 through December 18, 2006 succeeding drafts of the transaction documents were prepared in response to comments and suggestions of the parties and their counsel, with management and counsel for both companies engaging in numerous negotiating sessions. Included in the various transaction documents, in addition to the Acquisition Agreement, were an escrow agreement, voting agreement, lock-up agreements, and an employment agreement for Mr. Charney.

Representatives of Endeavor met with Mr. Charney at the offices of Graubard Miller numerous times during the period from December 11, 2006 through December 18, 2006 in order to resolve open items and to discuss the progress of the transaction. During these discussions, negotiations were conducted to revise the terms of the acquisition. It was agreed that the parties would prefer that the acquisition consideration be solely in the form of stock in order to preserve as much of Endeavor’s cash as possible so it would be available to American Apparel after the closing of the business combination to fund American Apparel’s operations and growth plans and provide American Apparel with flexibility with respect to its existing credit facilities. It was also agreed by the parties that keeping the acquisition consideration solely in the form of stock would fully align the interests of Mr. Charney with the stockholders of the post-business combination and evidence his belief in the future potential of American Apparel. However, it was also determined that the purchase of Mr. Lim’s equity interest in American Apparel could be accomplished only with cash. It was decided that Mr. Charney would be given the opportunity to purchase Mr. Lim’s position prior to Closing, and if this could not be accomplished, that Endeavor would purchase Mr. Lim for cash as further described in this proxy statement. Increases to American Apparel’s indebtedness were noted and it was agreed that if American Apparel’s net debt was more than $110,000,000 when acquired by Endeavor, the number of shares of Endeavor common stock to be issued in the acquisition would be lowered as described in this proxy statement. As part of this negotiation, the parties agreed to eliminate a share reduction based on EBITDA, but to have EBITDA targets remain a waiveable condition to Closing. The draft of the Original Agreement was revised to reflect these modified terms.

On December 18, 2006, a meeting of the board of directors of Endeavor was held. All directors attended, as did, by invitation telephonically, David Alan Miller, Esq., Brian L. Ross, Esq. and Jeffrey M. Gallant. Esq. of Graubard Miller. Prior to the meeting, copies of the most recent drafts of the significant transaction documents, in substantially final form, were delivered to all participants. Messrs. Watson and Ledecky discussed the analysis undertaken by Endeavor at length with Endeavor’s board to determine whether the acquisition consideration to be paid by Endeavor was fair from a financial point of view to Endeavor’s stockholders, as well as to determine the fair market value of American Apparel. The analysis used by Endeavor and presented for consideration by the board was based on a valuation of American Apparel as compared to similar companies, and its growth potential in relation to such valuation. The comparable company analysis was based on revenues and EBITDA of similar companies in the apparel industry as further discussed in the section entitled “The Acquisition Proposal—Endeavor’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Acquisition—Valuation of Original Terms.”

After considerable review and discussion by the board, it was determined that the consideration to be paid in the acquisition as set forth in the Original Agreement executed in December 2006 was fair and that the acquisition was fair to Endeavor and to its stockholders. The Original Agreement and related documents were unanimously approved, and the board determined to recommend the approval of the acquisition to the stockholders of Endeavor. However, the board specifically conditioned such approval on Endeavor obtaining, prior to soliciting the vote of stockholders on the acquisition, an opinion from an investment bank to the effect that the consideration to be paid by Endeavor pursuant to the Original Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Endeavor common stock and that the fair market value of American Apparel was at least equal to 80% of Endeavor’s net assets.

The Original Agreement was signed on December 18, 2006. Immediately thereafter, Endeavor and American Apparel issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Original Agreement and discussing the terms of the Original Agreement, and on December 20, 2006, Endeavor filed a Current Report on Form 8-K discussing in greater detail the terms of the Original Agreement and American Apparel’s business.

In June 2007, Mr. Ledecky was advised by Mr. Charney that American Apparel’s business was experiencing greater growth, with existing store sales growing and opportunities to open additional retail stores increasing, than was originally anticipated in December 2006. Mr. Charney expressed concern that the provisions of the Original Agreement would limit American Apparel’s ability to exploit and continue this growth. Mr. Charney also noted his belief that the value of American Apparel and its business had increased substantially since the execution of the Original Agreement. After consultation with Mr. Watson and members of the Endeavor board, Mr. Ledecky advised Mr. Charney that Endeavor would take all of the concerns he expressed under advisement and would continue to monitor the financial results of American Apparel.

During the period from July 2007 through October 2007, Endeavor reviewed American Apparel’s financial performance for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, and also monitored American Apparel’s financial performance subsequent to June 30, 2007. Endeavor also considered American Apparel’s need to access capital to fund its operations, new store openings and continued growth prior to the Closing. Endeavor further considered the need to retain and attract employees as American Apparel grows. Additionally, as the transaction approval and related regulatory process continued, American Apparel management advised Endeavor that it believed American Apparel had grown significantly in value since the execution of the Original Agreement.

Although Endeavor had no obligation to amend the terms of the Original Agreement and believed that such terms were legally binding, in September 2007 Endeavor considered that it may be in the best interests of Endeavor’s stockholders to amend the transaction terms to make them more favorable to Mr. Charney. Specifically, Endeavor noted that the period of time between execution of the Original Agreement and consummation of the acquisition had become substantially longer than originally anticipated by the parties and that proper management of the time remaining to complete the acquisition prior to Endeavor’s required liquidation was critical. Endeavor believed that, given the growing time constraints, it needed to secure the full cooperation of Mr. Charney and American Apparel in connection with all phases of the transaction approval process, including all regulatory compliance activities, to ensure the successful completion of the transaction. At the same time, Endeavor noted, based on its review of American Apparel’s 2007 financial and operational performance and feedback within the investment community, that American Apparel had become a materially more valuable enterprise since the execution of the Original Agreement in December 2006. Given market opinion that the acquisition was desirable from Endeavor’s point of view, as evidenced by Endeavor’s stock trading significantly above liquidation value, and given the increasing uncertainty that the acquisition could be timely completed without a motivated target, Endeavor concluded that increasing the consideration to be paid by Endeavor in the acquisition was a reasonable approach to increasing the likelihood that the acquisition would be consummated and that Endeavor’s stockholders would be able to realize the value reflected in the market prices of their stock. Endeavor further noted the importance of Mr. Charney to American Apparel’s brand identity and continued growth and believed that the Endeavor stockholders would benefit from the amended transaction terms by allowing Mr. Charney to receive fair value for the company he founded, thereby keeping him dedicated to the successful consummation of the acquisition and the continued growth of American Apparel both prior to and after consummation of the acquisition.

In mid-October 2007, Mr. Watson and Mr. Charney met in Paris, France to discuss specific modifications to terms of the Original Agreement including increasing the number of shares to be issued to Mr. Charney to better reflect the value of American Apparel, increasing the net debt American Apparel could undertake prior to Closing to accommodate the need to finance growth opportunities, such as new stores openings, and an increase in the size of the 2007 performance equity plan to enable American Apparel to attract and retain officers qualified to work in a public company structure and employees to support continued growth. It was also noted that as a private company without adequate equity participation plans in place, it has proven difficult for American Apparel to hire certain executive officers it believes it will need as a public company, including a chief operating officer and chief information officer. Mr. Charney requested that the hiring of such officers as a condition to Closing be waived.

During the remainder of October 2007, Messrs. Ledecky and Watson, on behalf of Endeavor, and Messrs. Charney and Kowalewski, on behalf of American Apparel, and their respective counsel, discussed and

formulated proposed amended deal terms. When the parties entered into the Original Agreement in December 2006, Endeavor did not have access to final 2006 financial results for American Apparel and had only preliminary projections with respect to 2007. As 2007 progressed, American Apparel’s operations and financial results materially exceeded the parties’ expectations upon which the Original Agreement was based and, at the same time, projections for future results materially increased. As an example, American Apparel experienced third quarter 2007 same-store sales growth of 27% during a period in which other comparable retailers experienced modest growth, demonstrating to Endeavor and the marketplace American Apparel’s position as a unique high growth retailer. American Apparel further demonstrated its growth through its revised expectation of adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2007 in excess of $40 million, which was its previous guidance for the entire fiscal 2007 year. Endeavor believed that American Apparel is a materially more valuable business then when the original acquisition agreement was conceived. This despite the fact that American Apparel has not had access to the capital from Endeavor’s trust fund within the time period originally expected; indeed, when the parties entered into the original acquisition agreement in December 2006, it was not contemplated that the transaction would take a full year to complete.

On October 29, 2007, Endeavor’s board of directors met to consider the proposed amended terms of the acquisition. All directors, other than Jay Nussbaum, attended the meeting either in person or telephonically. Mr. Nussbaum was later advised of the resolutions of the board and affirmed them. Also present by invitation were David Alan Miller. Esq., and Brian L. Ross, Esq., of Graubard Miller. Prior to the meeting, copies of drafts of the Acquisition Agreement and revised employment agreement for Mr. Charney were distributed to the meeting attendees. Messrs. Watson and Ledecky discussed at length the significant growth experienced by American Apparel’s business during 2007. The board then made an analysis of the proposed amended terms of the acquisition to determine if the consideration to be paid by Endeavor in the acquisition was still fair from a financial point of view to Endeavor’s stockholders, as well as to determine the fair market value of American Apparel. The analysis used by the board was similar to that it utilized when first considering the transaction in December 2006 and was based on a valuation of American Apparel as compared to similar companies and its growth potential in relation to such valuation. The comparable company analysis was based on revenues and EBITDA of such similar companies in the apparel industry as further discussed in the section entitled “The Acquisition Proposal—Endeavor’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Acquisition—Important events subsequent to initial board approval.”

After considerable review and discussion by the board, including consideration of the binding nature of the Original Agreement weighed against growing time constraints to complete the transaction and perceived growth in the value of American Apparel, it was determined that the consideration to be paid in the acquisition on the amended terms was fair from a financial point of view to Endeavor and to its stockholders. The Acquisition Agreement and related documents were unanimously approved and the board decided to recommend the approval of the acquisition to the stockholders of Endeavor.

The Acquisition Agreement was executed as of November 7, 2007. On November 8, 2007, Endeavor and American Apparel issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Acquisition Agreement and discussing the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and on November 9, 2007, Endeavor filed a Current Report on Form 8-K discussing in greater detail the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and American Apparel’s business.

Other than the shares issuable to Mr. Dolfi and ICR, there are no finders’ fees payable in connection with the acquisition.

Endeavor’s Board of Directors’ Reasons FOR Approval of the Acquisition

General

The final agreed-upon consideration in the Acquisition Agreement was determined by several factors. Endeavor’s board of directors reviewed industry and financial data, including a comparable company analysis compiled by management, in order to determine that the consideration to be paid by Endeavor in the acquisition was fair and that the acquisition was in the best interests of Endeavor’s stockholders.

In order to enable the board of directors of Endeavor to evaluate the proposed acquisition, Endeavor’s management conducted a due diligence review with respect to American Apparel that included:

•

a general analysis of American Apparel’s industry;

•

tours of American Apparel’s manufacturing facilities and principal offices in Los Angeles, California;

•

on-site visits to various American Apparel retail stores;

•

a valuation analysis of American Apparel; and

•

reviews of historic financial statements and information and financial projections provided by American Apparel.

The Endeavor board of directors considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the acquisition. In light of the complexity of those factors, the Endeavor board of directors did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its decision. In addition, individual members of the Endeavor board may have given different weight to different factors.

The historical financial information and financial projections provided to Endeavor by American Apparel in November and December 2006 included:

•

audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2004 and the six months ended December 31, 2004;

•

unaudited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005;

•

unaudited financial statements for the ten-month period ended October 31, 2006; and

•

financial projections for the year ending December 31, 2007.

The historical financial information and financial projections provided to Endeavor by American Apparel subsequent to the execution of the Original Agreement have included:

•

audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005;

•

unaudited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004;

•

unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007;

•

unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2007; and

•

preliminary unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Initial board approval

As of December 18, 2006, the date on which Endeavor’s board of directors first met to vote upon the acquisition of American Apparel, American Apparel had provided Endeavor with estimates that American Apparel’s revenues for the year ending December 31, 2006 would be approximately $275 million, a 27.3% increase from revenues of $216 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. As of December 18, 2006,

American Apparel had also provided Endeavor with projections that American Apparel’s revenues for the year ending December 31, 2007 would be at least $355 million, a 22.5% increase from the $275 million of revenues then expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. American Apparel had advised that the growth in revenues evidenced by these estimates and projections would be driven by anticipated growth in same store sales and the opening of additional retail locations, as well as increases in online sales. As of December 18, 2006, American Apparel was projecting approximately $30 million of EBITDA for 2006, giving effect to various non-cash and adjustments (of up to $5 million in the aggregate) prescribed by the Acquisition Agreement and $50 million of EBITDA for 2007, subject to similar adjustments. American Apparel had advised Endeavor that the projected increase in EBITDA from 2006 to 2007 would be driven primarily by the projected increase in revenues and improvements in EBITDA margins as selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses were forecast to decrease as a percentage of sales as they were spread across a larger base of revenues.

Based on the foregoing information and procedures, the board of directors of Endeavor unanimously approved the Acquisition Agreement. In considering the acquisition, the Endeavor board of directors gave considerable weight to the following factors:

•

American Apparel’s record of growth and potential for future growth. Endeavor believes that American Apparel has a well-established and growing brand and has in place the core infrastructure for strong business operations that will enable American Apparel to achieve growth both organically and through accretive strategic acquisitions. Endeavor’s belief in American Apparel’s growth potential is based in part on American Apparel’s historical growth rate. American Apparel had experienced a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 62% in revenues from approximately $40 million in 2002 to estimated revenues of $275 million in 2006, while it experienced a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 69% in EBITDA from approximately $4 million to more than $30 million over the same period.

•

American Apparel’s ability to broaden distribution. American Apparel has demonstrated continued organic growth in core US, European and Asian markets, with more than 140 company-owned retail stores worldwide as of December 18, 2006. American Apparel also has demonstrated an ability to expand distribution to additional channels, including though wholesale operations to other apparel providers and online sales to American Apparel customers.

•

“American Apparel” is a recognizable brand targeted toward an emerging demographic. The American Apparel brand has received a large amount of coverage in the print and broadcast media, including on television such as The Today Show, Nightline, 60 Minutes, Charlie Rose and Dateline. This brand and the products which are marketed under the brand are targeted toward the young adult market, which is one of the largest emerging market demographics.

•

The experience of American Apparel’s management. An important factor to Endeavor’s board of directors in evaluating an acquisition target was whether the target had a management team with specialized knowledge of the markets within which it operates and the ability to lead a company in a rapidly changing environment. Endeavor’s board of directors believes that American Apparel’s management, and Mr. Charney in particular, have experience and talent in the apparel industry as demonstrated by the background of the members of American Apparel’s management and American Apparel’s ability to develop new product offerings in fashion basics, as well as new categories.

•

American Apparel’s vertically integrated business model. American Apparel’s business model utilizes American Apparel’s own manufacturing facilities and exploits the company’s U.S.–based design and manufacturing operations to provide speed to market, which allows American Apparel to produce product quickly when specific demand is identified and to supervise quality control. This allows American Apparel to focus on year-round styles, minimize risk of producing ahead of demand and maintain the quality production identified with the brand.

Certain Projections Provided by American Apparel

In its evaluations of the potential acquisition of American Apparel, Endeavor considered various projections provided to it by American Apparel, comprised principally of revenue and EBITDA projections for 2006, 2007 and 2008. Endeavor compared these revenue and EBITDA projections for American Apparel to publicly available revenue and EBITDA estimates for the same time periods for public companies in the apparel industry. Endeavor compared the relationship between overall enterprise value as publicly reported for each comparable public company to such comparable company’s projected revenues and EBITDA to determine the multiples being given by the public market to such companies in relation to their respective revenues and EBITDA.

Projections used for original deal terms.

The projections provided by American Apparel to Endeavor during the due diligence period prior to execution of the Original Agreement in December 2006 (the “2006 projections”) consisted of information relating to American Apparel’s projected revenue and EBITDA for the years then ending December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007. American Apparel also provided projections with respect to the number of retail stores it would have open by the end of 2006.

Prior to execution of the Original Agreement, American Apparel projected consolidated revenues of approximately $275 million for the year ending December 31, 2006 and approximately $355 million for the year ending December 31, 2007. These projections demonstrated a continuance of the trend of growth evidenced by American Apparel’s consolidated revenues of approximately $40 million, $82 million, $136 million and $208 million in the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Actual consolidated revenues for American Apparel for the year ended December 31, 2006 were approximately $284 million. Actual consolidated revenues for American Apparel for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were approximately $276 million.

American Apparel projected consolidated EBITDA of approximately $30 million for the year then ending December 31, 2006 and approximately $50 million for the year ending December 31, 2007 giving effect to adjustments as is described below in the section entitled “—Certain Adjustments Considered by Endeavor.” These projections demonstrated a continuance of the trend of growth evidenced by American Apparel’s consolidated EBITDA of approximately $3 million, $8 million, $12 million and $17 million in the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Without adjustment, actual consolidated EBITDA for American Apparel for the year ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $22.4 million. Actual consolidated EBITDA for American Apparel for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $24.1 million. These amounts give no effect to the adjustments required under the Acquisition Agreement. See the section below entitled “Certain Adjustments Considered by Endeavor” for a discussion of the adjustments considered by Endeavor in its evaluation of American Apparel.

American Apparel projected that it would have 143 retail stores opened at December 31, 2006. These projections demonstrated a continuance of the trend of growth evidenced by American Apparel having 103 retail stores, 38 retail stores, 3 retail stores and no retail stores opened at December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Projections used for amended and restated deal terms.

In September and October 2007 American Apparel provided Endeavor with updated projections. These projections were utilized by the parties in connection with formulating the amended terms of the Acquisition Agreement.

American Apparel projected consolidated revenues of approximately $365 million for the year ending December 31, 2007. This projection demonstrated a continuance of the trend of growth evidenced by American Apparel’s consolidated revenues of approximately $40 million, $82 million, $136 million, $208 million and

$284 million in the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Actual consolidated revenues for American Apparel for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were approximately $275.6 million.

American Apparel projected consolidated EBITDA of approximately $57 million for the year then ending December 31, 2007 and approximately $75 million for the year ending December 31, 2008 giving effect to certain adjustments considered by Endeavor. These projections demonstrated a continuance of the trend of growth evidenced by American Apparel’s consolidated EBITDA of approximately $3 million, $8 million, $12 million, $17 million and $24.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Actual consolidated EBITDA for American Apparel for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $35.0 million. See the subsection below entitled “—Certain Adjustments Considered by Endeavor” for a discussion of the adjustments considered by Endeavor in its evaluation of American Apparel.

American Apparel projected that it would have 176 retail stores opened at December 31, 2007. These projections demonstrated a continuance of the trend of growth evidenced by American Apparel having 149 retail stores, 103 retail stores, 38 retail stores, 3 retail stores and no retail stores opened at December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The projections provided by American Apparel were only estimates based on information available to American Apparel at the time they were made and based on reasonable assumptions made on such information. The foregoing summary of these projections are included solely to provide reader of this proxy statement with background information on the information considered by Endeavor and its board in connection with their evaluation of American Apparel and its operations and, solely with respect to the 2006 projections, by Jefferies in its analyses described below in the section entitled “Opinion of Jefferies & Company, Inc.” Investors should not rely on these projections as estimates of future results of American Apparel or the combined companies following consummation of the acquisition and should not place undue reliance on these projections when evaluating the proposals to be presented at the special meeting of Endeavor’s stockholders.

Valuation of original terms

In its evaluation of the original terms of the acquisition as contemplated by the Original Agreement, the board considered the valuation of American Apparel in relation to its growth potential and found it to be attractive when compared to other companies in its industries. As part of such analysis, the board looked at comparable companies and based on the valuation of these companies in terms of expected 2006 revenues, 2006 expected EBITDA and projected 2007 EBITDA, the board calculated the expected initial valuation of American Apparel in the public market. Endeavor presented its board with information regarding certain publicly-traded companies that compete in American Apparel’s markets, as follows:

(1)	Enterprise Value was obtained for each company by adding its short and long term debt to the sum of the market value of its common equity (stock prices as of December 12, 2006) and the book value of any minority interest, and subtracting its cash and cash equivalents.

(2)	Based on average estimates as reported by Institutional Brokers’ Estimate System (IBES) and based on stock prices as December 12, 2006.

(3)	Historical figures based on SEC company filings and exclude extraordinary and non-recurring charges as of December 12, 2006 except figures for American Apparel, which were based on information provided by American Apparel in December 2006.

Specifically, for each comparable company, the board:

•

analyzed the enterprise value for each comparable company;

•

compared such enterprise value to such comparable company’s estimated revenues for 2006 and estimated EBITDA for 2006 and 2007, as published by Institutional Brokers’ Estimate System (IBES), a system that gathers and compiles estimates published by analysts for the majority of U.S. public companies;

•

divided such enterprise value by such 2006 revenue projections to determine the multiple to 2006 revenues at which the public market was valuing such comparable company (“2006 revenue multiple”);

•

divided such enterprise value by 2006 EBITDA projections to determine the multiple to 2006 EBITDA at which the public market was valuing the company (“2006 EBITDA multiple”);

•

divided such enterprise value by 2007 EBITDA projections to determine the multiple to 2007 EBITDA at which the market was valuing the company (“2007 EBITDA multiple”).

The board then examined the 2006 revenue multiples, 2006 EBITDA multiples and 2007 EBITDA multiples for all of the comparable companies to determine the median 2006 revenue, 2006 EBITDA and 2007 EBITDA multiples of all the companies.

This analysis revealed that the median valuation of the aforementioned comparable companies was approximately 2.4 times expected 2006 revenues, 13.6 times expected 2006 EBITDA and 11.5 times projected 2007 EBITDA. Based on these multiples, American Apparel would have a value range of between $408 million (based on 2006 EBITDA) and $686 million (based on 2006 revenues). Based on American Apparel’s 2007 EBITDA projections available to the board of directors of Endeavor at December 18, 2006, American Apparel had a value of $575 million.

In December 2006, Endeavor’s board calculated that the valuation of maximum consideration payable to American Apparel’s stockholders amounted to approximately $362.5 million, comprised of:

•

$250 million of Endeavor common stock (32,258,065 shares at a price of $7.75 per share on December 18, 2006),

•

$110 million of assumed American Apparel indebtedness, and

•

$2.5 million of cash bonuses to be paid to key American Apparel employees following closing of the acquisition.

In its December 2006 evaluation of American Apparel, Endeavor considered the net losses experience by AAI in 2006 and CI in 2005 and 2006. Endeavor, however, determined that the growth prospects of American Apparel outweighed these concerns based on certain factors, including Endeavor’s belief that:

•

AAI had the ability to further enhance margins due to learned operating efficiencies and a lower cost structure primarily driven by future volume purchase discounts, bargaining power with vendors and 100% utilization of its factory, which would help absorb overhead going forward;

•

in 2005, related party management fees of approximately $1.9 million were the primary cause of the net losses reported by CI, which was approximately $6,000 with an EBITDA of approximately $1.6 million; and

•

in 2006, related party management fees of approximately $2.0 million were the primary cause of the net losses reported by CI, which was approximately $78,000 with an EBITDA of approximately $2.6 million.

In its December 2006 evaluation of American Apparel, Endeavor considered American Apparel’s debt servicing obligations. Endeavor determined that American Apparel had adequate cash flows to service these obligations, as well as the ability to obtain replacement financing on more favorable terms both before the acquisition was consummated and after. The amount of American Apparel’s indebtedness was also considered in connection with the determination of the consideration to be paid by Endeavor in the acquisition, with a downward adjustment in the number of shares to be issued by Endeavor at closing if American Apparel’s net debt at closing exceeded $110 million. See the section entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Acquisition Consideration—Reduction of Shares Based on Net Debt.”

The board noted that if Mr. Charney failed to consummate the Lim Buyout under the Original Agreement, Endeavor would consummate the Lim Buyout by paying Mr. Lim approximately $60 million and reducing the number of shares issued in the acquisition by an amount equal to the cash paid to Mr. Lim divided by $7.75. Accordingly, the total valuation of consideration payable to American Apparel would remain the same.

Since the value of the consideration to be paid by Endeavor in the acquisition would be significantly below the valuation determined from the comparable company analysis, the board determined at its December 18th meeting that the consideration to be paid to American Apparel was fair and that the acquisition was in the best

interests of Endeavor’s stockholders and approved the acquisition. However, the board specifically conditioned such approval on Endeavor obtaining, prior to soliciting the vote of stockholders on the acquisition, an opinion from an investment bank to the effect that the consideration to be paid by Endeavor pursuant to the Original Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Endeavor common stock and that the fair market value of American Apparel was at least equal to 80% of Endeavor’s net assets.

Important events subsequent to initial board approval

On April 2, 2007, the board of directors of Endeavor met for an update on the acquisition and to be presented with certain revised financial information with respect to American Apparel. The board was advised that American Apparel had approximately $285 million of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006. At the same time, the board was advised that, as a result of comments received during the audit of its financial statements, management of American Apparel proposed additional write-downs on American Apparel’s inventory for 2006 considering the inventory levels. As a result, the board was told that American Apparel was seeking to implement non-cash and additional adjustments to 2006 EBITDA beyond the aggregate $5 million adjustments agreed to by Endeavor in the Original Agreement. The board agreed with the rationale presented and voted to allow the additional adjustments. Total adjustments to 2006 EBITDA allowed by Endeavor were approximately $9.9 million and are set forth in “—Certain Adjustment Considered by Endeavor.” The board was also advised that American Apparel had revised its EBITDA projections for 2007 from $50 million to $40 million as a result of various factors, including its determination to slow down new store openings until such time as it receives the capital infusion it will receive as a result of the acquisition. In this regard, the board voted to allow Endeavor to waive the requirement that American Apparel deliver formal EBITDA projections for 2007 and 2008 prior to closing of the acquisition.

At the April 2nd meeting, Endeavor’s board re-evaluated the acquisition based on American Apparel’s actual 2006 revenues of $285 million, the pro forma 2006 EBITDA of $30 million and revised 2007 projected EBITDA of $40 million. The board utilized the same processes and metrics as when it first approved the acquisition on December 18, 2006, including the multiples derived from other publicly traded retail apparel companies—2.4 times expected 2006 revenues, 13.6 times expected 2006 EBITDA and 11.5 times projected 2007 EBITDA. Based on the revised financial information and projections of American Apparel, the board determined that American Apparel would have a value range of between $408 million (based on 2006 EBITDA) and $684 million (based on 2006 revenues). Based on American Apparel’s revised 2007 EBITDA projections, the board concluded that American Apparel had a value of $460 million. The board found that the acquisition was still fair and affirmed its approval of the Original Agreement and the acquisition based on the revised financial information presented to it.

On May 9, 2007, Jefferies delivered to Endeavor’s board of directors its opinion based on the same financial information and revised EBITDA and financial projections considered by the board in April 2007 when the board affirmed the acquisition. On that date Jefferies made a presentation to Endeavor’s board of directors concerning the financial terms of the acquisition as provided by the Original Agreement and delivered to the board Jefferies’ opinion to the effect that, as of that date and based upon and subject to the various considerations and assumptions set forth in its opinion, the consideration of approximately 32.3 million shares of Endeavor common stock that was to be paid by Endeavor under the terms of the Original Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to the holders of Endeavor common stock, other than affiliates of Endeavor, and that the fair market value of American Apparel was at least equal to 80% of Endeavor’s net assets. For a more detailed description of the Jefferies’ opinion, see the section entitled “The Acquisition Proposal—Opinion of Jefferies & Company, Inc.”

Amended terms of the acquisition

In October 2007, American Apparel provided Endeavor with updated financial projections, including projected revenues for the year ending December 31, 2007 of $365 million, EBITDA of $57 million for the year ending December 31, 2007 and EBITDA of $75 million for the year ending December 31, 2008 giving effect to

the type of adjustments described in the section entitled “Certain Adjustments Considered by Endeavor.” Based on the foregoing, the parties discussed amending the terms of the transaction.

On October 29, 2007, the board of directors of Endeavor met to consider the Acquisition Agreement to, among other things,

•

substitute a limited liability company for a corporation to serve as the Merger Sub;

•

increase the number of shares of Endeavor being issued to Mr. Charney at the Closing from 32,258,065 to 37,258,065;

•

increase the level of American Apparel’s net debt above which there would be a downward adjustment in the number of shares issued to Mr. Charney at Closing from $110 million to $150 million;

•

eliminate as a closing condition the hiring of a chief financial officer, chief operations officer and chief information officer.

The board noted that the Original Agreement was binding and that Endeavor had no obligation to consider or adopt the proposed amended terms. However, after due discussion, the board concluded that adoption of the amended terms of the deal was in the best interests of the stockholders of Endeavor. The board believed that Endeavor’s then current stock price, with a significant premium to liquidation value, indicated that the market wanted the acquisition to be completed. The board noted that if the acquisition were not completed, current Endeavor stockholders would not be able to realize the significant value of American Apparel priced into the market price of the stock. It was acknowledged that the relatively minimal time remaining to consummate the acquisition prior to liquidation posed what the board perceived as a material threat to the successful consummation of the acquisition. The board concluded that this risk was exacerbated by the time that would be required to complete the regulatory process, which would, in part, require American Apparel to deliver its third quarter financial statements, which is typically time consuming for a private company. The board noted that the cooperation of American Apparel would be required to complete the regulatory and approval processes in the time necessary to consummate the acquisition. The board also noted American Apparel’s continued growth since the execution of the Original Agreement, recent valuations given to similarly situated apparel companies and American Apparel’s improved financial results and projections. The board agreed that increasing the consideration to be paid by Endeavor in the acquisition would increase the likelihood that the acquisition would be timely completed.

In its analysis of whether the amended terms of the acquisition were fair from a financial point of view of Endeavor’s stockholder, the board determined through its analysis described in the section entitled “Important events subsequent to initial board approval – Valuation of amended terms” that the increased consideration to be paid by Endeavor under the proposed amended terms would be offset by the increase in American Apparel’s value based on existing market multiples for comparable companies’ 2007 revenues and 2007 and 2008 projected EBITDA. At the same time, these amended terms would, in the board’s opinion, serve to increase the likelihood of the acquisition being consummated. Accordingly, the board determined that the amended terms of the acquisition were fair from a financial point of view to Endeavor’s stockholders, despite the existence of the Original Agreement.

At the October 29, 2007 meeting, the board calculated that the valuation of maximum consideration payable to American Apparel’s stockholders under the Acquisition Agreement as amended and restated amounted to approximately $516.1 million, comprised of:

•

$295.8 million of Endeavor common stock (37,258,065 shares at a price of $7.94 per share based on then current per-share trust value);

•

$150 million of assumed American Apparel indebtedness;

•

$67.8 million cash to be paid to Mr. Lim for his equity in American Apparel; and

•

$2.5 million of cash bonuses.

The board utilized the same processes and metrics as when it first approved the acquisition on December 18, 2006 and affirmed it on April 2, 2007 as described on pages 58 to 64 of this proxy statement.

Given the limited time remaining between that date and the date Endeavor would be required to liquidate, and the lack of funds available to Endeavor outside of its trust, after discussion with Jefferies, the board determined to forego a fairness opinion with respect to these amended terms. Rather, the board decided to utilize its own comparable company analysis similar to that utilized by it when it considered the Original Agreement in December 2006 and, similar to that used by Jefferies, in part, in its analysis when opining that the consideration to be paid by Endeavor under the Original Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to Endeavor’s stockholders. Since Jefferies’ opinion as to the fairness of the transaction related solely to the terms of the Original Agreement and does not relate to the amended terms of the acquisition, investors should not rely on such opinion as to fairness.

In evaluating the amended terms of the transaction, Endeavor’s board considered the value of American Apparel based on actual 2007 results and the revised projections and concluded, using the board’s business judgment, that the amended deal terms were fair and would provide a foundation that ensured that Mr. Charney remained dedicated to the growth and success of combined companies following consummation of the acquisition. See the section entitled “Important events subsequent to initial board approval—Valuation of revised terms” for a discussion of the analysis of the amended terms used by the board to determine same was fair from a financial point of view to Endeavor’s stockholders.

While the board determined not to obtain a fairness opinion with respect to the revised transaction terms, it did evaluate the approach used in the original fairness opinion and the valuation metrics utilized therein and determined that revised deal terms fell within appropriate metric ranges. As an example, under the fairness opinion analysis, the blended multiple of comparable companies utilized by Jefferies for the 2007 EBITDA metric (as discussed on page 77 of the proxy) was 9.4x and 11.4x. Using this same multiple range based on revised 2007 EBITDA projections provided by American Apparel of $57 million, the implied valuation would be in a range of $536 million to $650 million. The Implied Consideration Value in the amended deal would be 37.3 million shares (at $7.94 per share trust value), $150 million of debt and $2.5 million of cash bonuses, plus the $67.8 million to be paid in the Lim Buyout, for a total of approximately $516.1 million. This gave the board an additional level of comfort in concluding that the revised deal was fair.

Valuation of revised terms

The board looked at the same comparable companies it reviewed in December 2006 and, based on the valuation of these companies in terms of expected 2007 revenues, 2007 expected EBITDA and projected 2008 EBITDA, the board calculated the expected initial valuation of American Apparel in the public market.

(1)	Enterprise Value was obtained for each company by adding its short and long-term debt to the sum of the market value of its common equity (stock prices as of October 26, 2007) and the book value of any minority interest, and subtracting its cash and cash equivalents.

(2)	Based on average estimates as reported by Institutional Brokers’ Estimate System (IBES) and stock prices as of October 26, 2007.

(3)	Historical figures based on last twelve months as reported in SEC company filings and exclude extraordinary and non-recurring charges as of October 26, 2007, except figures for American Apparel, which were based on information provided by American Apparel in October 2007.

Specifically, for each comparable company, the board:

•

analyzed the enterprise value for each comparable company;

•

compared such enterprise value to such comparable company’s estimated revenues for 2007 and estimated EBITDA for 2007 and 2008, as published by Institutional Brokers’ Estimate System (IBES), a system that gathers and compiles estimates published by analysts for the majority of U.S. public companies;

•

divided such enterprise value by such 2007 revenue projections to determine the multiple to 2007 revenues at which the public market was valuing such comparable company (“2007 revenue multiple”);

•

divided such enterprise value by 2007 EBITDA projections to determine the multiple to 2007 EBITDA at which the public market was valuing the company (“2007 EBITDA multiple”); and

•

divided such enterprise value by 2008 EBITDA projections to determine the multiple to 2008 EBITDA at which the market was valuing the company (“2008 EBITDA multiple”).

The board then examined the 2007 revenue multiples, 2007 EBITDA multiples and 2008 EBITDA multiples for all of the comparable companies to determine the median 2007 revenue, 2007 EBITDA and 2008 EBITDA multiples of all the companies. This analysis revealed that the median valuation of the aforementioned comparable companies was approximately 1.8 times expected 2007 revenues, 13.8 times expected 2007 EBITDA and 9.4 times projected 2008 EBITDA. Based on these multiples, American Apparel would have a value range of between $647 million (based on 2007 expected revenues) and $788 million (based on 2007 projected EBITDA). Based on American Apparel’s 2007 EBITDA projections available to the board of directors of Endeavor at December 18, 2006, American Apparel had a value of $575 million compared to a value of $788 million using American Apparel’s updated financial projections and current 2007 EBITDA multiples described above.

The board found that the acquisition was still fair and affirmed its approval of the Acquisition Agreement and the acquisition based on the revised financial information presented to it.

Certain Adjustments Considered by Endeavor

In connection with its evaluation of American Apparel and its operations and financial results, and the negotiation of the Acquisition Agreement, Endeavor wanted a mechanism in place that ensured American Apparel was continuing to demonstrate growth prior to consummation of the acquisition process. At the same time, the parties acknowledged that American Apparel would need to take certain actions and incur certain costs as it positioned itself to become part of a public company, such as audits of certain of its financial results. Endeavor also believed it reasonable to evaluate American Apparel’s growth without regard to certain charges.

Under the terms of the Original Agreement, a condition to Endeavor consummating the acquisition was that American Apparel have EBITDA of at least $30 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 after giving effect to up to an aggregate of $5 million of adjustments for related-party management fee, deferred rent, legal, litigation and workers’ compensation expenses. In April 2007, Endeavor agreed to allow certain adjustments above the original $5 million basket to accommodate an approximate $3.5 million inventory obsolescence reserve established in connection with American Apparel’s December 31, 2006 inventory valuation and other adjustments described below.

These adjustments were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,		Year Ended December 31,
	2007		2006
Related-party adjustment fee	$	2,721	$	7,045

Add-backs
Deferred rent	$	1,117	$	2,093
Litigation expense		—		1,120

Total add-backs	$	1,117	$	3,213

Exclusions:
Workers compensation adjustment	$	—	$	520
Inventory obsolescence		—		3,484
Business combination expenses not capitalized		979		—

Total exclusions	$	979	$	4,004

Additional add-backs:
Legal fees related to abandoned financing attempts	$	—	$	277
Accounting fees related to abandoned financing attempts		—		138
Financial consulting fees related to senior debt defaults		—		287

Total additional add-backs	$	—	$	702

Total Adjustment	$	4,817	$	9,964

See the section entitled “Selected Summary Historical and Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of American Apparel’s use of EBITDA and reconciliations to GAAP financial measures.

Other positive factors considered by Endeavor’s board

Endeavor’s board also considered other factors in evaluating the acquisition with American Apparel, including the following:

•

American Apparel’s competitive position and market acceptance of its products. American Apparel’s reputation in its industry, within its distribution channels and among its end customers was considered by the board to be one of the favorable factors in concluding that its competitive position was strong. As part of its due diligence investigation, Endeavor visited numerous American Apparel retail locations. In addition, Endeavor conducted phone interviews with several of American Apparel’s key customers as well as other industry experts. Endeavor reported to the board that feedback from these sources on the company and its products was very strong.

•

Costs associated with effecting the business combination. The board determined that the costs associated with effecting the acquisition with American Apparel would be of the same order of magnitude as would be encountered with most other business combinations. In addition, it was favorably viewed by the board that all of American Apparel’s key employees would stay in place to operate the post- acquisition company and that there would therefore be relatively minimal integration issues following the acquisition.

Potential adverse factors considered by Endeavor

Endeavor’s board evaluated several potential adverse factors in its consideration of the acquisition of American Apparel. These included:

•

Pending litigation against American Apparel. Endeavor noted that American Apparel was a party to various litigations and other proceedings. As part of its due diligence investigation, Endeavor reviewed all of the outstanding and pending proceedings against American Apparel, spoke at length to American Apparel’s management and attorneys and determined that none of these items were likely to materially impact the company. The various proceedings were characterized by American Apparel as typical of the type of proceedings that arise in the course of business of a company of the size and type of American Apparel. Endeavor was advised by American Apparel that several claims were scheduled to be settled in the near-term and the potential damages in the other proceedings were currently viewed as insignificant relative to the size of American Apparel’s business. See the section entitled “Business of American Apparel—Legal Proceedings.”

•

American Apparel’s non-compliance under financing facilities. Endeavor examined American Apparel’s debt structure. Endeavor concluded that the debt level was reasonable in the context of American Apparel’s business and growth plan. Endeavor concluded that American Apparel’s credit facilities could be readily replaced on commercially reasonable terms or repaid in part after closing without materially impacting American Apparel’s ability to achieve its business and growth plan. See the section entitled “American Apparel’s Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

•

American Apparel’s net losses. In its evaluation of American Apparel, Endeavor considered the net losses experience by AAI in 2006 and CI in 2005 and 2006. Endeavor, however, determined that the growth prospects of American Apparel outweighed these concerns based on certain factors, including Endeavor’s belief that:

•

in 2006, related party management fees of approximately $2.04 million were the primary cause of the net losses reported by CI, which was approximately $78,000 with an EBITDA of approximately $2.6 million.

•

American Apparel’s level of indebtedness. In its evaluation of American Apparel, Endeavor considered American Apparel’s debt servicing obligations. Endeavor determined that American Apparel had adequate cash flows to service these obligations, as well as the ability to obtain replacement financing on more favorable terms both before the acquisition was consummated and after. The amount of American Apparel’s indebtedness was also considered in connection with the determination of the consideration to be paid by Endeavor in the acquisition, with a downward adjustment in the number of shares to be issued by Endeavor at closing if American Apparel’s net debt at closing exceeded $110 million. See the section entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Acquisition Consideration—Reduction of Shares Based on Net Debt.”

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement that any business acquired by Endeavor have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of Endeavor’s net assets at the time of acquisition, which assets shall include the amount in the trust account. Based on the financial analysis of American Apparel generally used to approve the transaction, the Endeavor board of directors determined that this requirement was met. Endeavor estimates that its net assets at the closing of the acquisition will be at least $122 million, after deduction of the costs of the acquisition that may be paid from the funds in the trust account upon closing of the acquisition and assuming that no Endeavor stockholders vote against the acquisition and seek conversion of their Endeavor shares into cash, of which 80% is $97.6 million.

As described above, at the time the board considered the amendment to the Acquisition Agreement, it valued American Apparel in a range of approximately $647 million to $788 million based on its comparable company analysis and significant transaction experience. This value substantially exceeds the $97.6 million value required to meet the 80% test. The board noted that it based its calculation on the most conservative projections it had received from American Apparel and used valuation multiples for companies that had significantly less growth potential than American Apparel, and thus it felt comfortable with its decision.

The Endeavor board of directors believes, because of the financial skills and background of several of its members, it was qualified to perform the valuation analysis described above and to conclude that the acquisition of American Apparel met this requirement. The Endeavor board members have a significant number of years of experience in the private equity/venture capital and investment banking industries and have been involved in numerous transactions of a similar nature to the one contemplated between Endeavor and American Apparel. Notwithstanding this, the board specifically conditioned such approval on Endeavor obtaining, prior to soliciting the vote of stockholders on the acquisition, an opinion from an investment bank to the effect that the consideration to be paid by Endeavor pursuant to the Original Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Endeavor common stock and that the fair market value of American Apparel was at least equal to 80% of Endeavor’s net assets.

Interests of Endeavor’s and American Apparel’s Directors and Officers in the Acquisition

In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of Endeavor to vote for the proposals to approve the Acquisition Agreement, as well as the certificate of incorporation amendments and the performance equity plan proposals, you should be aware that certain members of the Endeavor board have agreements or arrangements that provide them with interests in the acquisition that differ from, or are in addition to, those of Endeavor stockholders generally. In particular:

•

If the acquisition is not approved by December 15, 2007, Endeavor will be required to liquidate. In such event, the 3,750,000 shares of common stock held by Endeavor’s officers and directors that were acquired prior to the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 will be worthless because Endeavor’s initial stockholders are not entitled to receive any liquidation proceeds with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $46,125,000 based on the last sale price of $12.30 on the American Stock Exchange on November 1, 2007.

•

Through November 1, 2007, Endeavor has borrowed an aggregate of $575,000 from Messrs. Watson and Ledecky, Endeavor’s current chairman of the board and president, respectively, and their affiliates. These loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing and will be repaid on the earlier of the consummation by Endeavor of a business combination or upon demand by Messrs. Ledecky and Watson; provided, however, that if a business combination is not consummated, Endeavor will be required to repay the loans only to the extent it has sufficient funds available to it outside of the trust account.

•

If we are unable to complete a business combination and are forced to liquidate, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky will be personally liable under certain circumstances (for example, if a vendor does not waive any rights or claims to the trust account) to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of certain prospective target businesses and vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or products sold to us. As of November 16, 2007, the record date, the estimated value of Mr. Watson’s and Mr. Ledecky’s obligation, excluding $575,000 loaned to the Company to date, is $494,168, based on cash held outside the trust account of $54,959 and $549,127 owed to parties who have not waived claims against the trust account. We cannot assure you that Messrs. Watson and Ledecky will be able to satisfy those obligations in the event the acquisition is not consummated and Endeavor is required to liquidate. While the other officers and directors of Endeavor would be obligated to take steps, including legal action, to enforce the indemnification obligations, there can be no assurance that any such steps will be successful. If Messrs. Watson and Ledecky ultimately do not satisfy their indemnification obligations, the creditors that have not waived their right to make claims against the trust account and successfully establish their claims will be entitled to receive payment from the trust account and payments to them would reduce the amount in the trust account that would be available for distribution to the holders of shares issued in the IPO.

None of Endeavor’s current directors or officers or employees will continue with Endeavor or American Apparel following the acquisition. The current officers and directors of AAI and the CI companies, other than Mr. Lim, are expected to continue in their current or substantively similar offices and retain board memberships with AAI and the CI companies after the acquisition. This includes Mr. Charney, AAI’s current chief executive officer and president, who also will become the chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president of Endeavor upon consummation of the acquisition. This also includes Adrian Kowalewski, AAI’s current director of corporate finance and development, who also will become a member of Endeavor’s board of directors. Ken Cieply, AAI’s current chief financial officer, and Martin Bailey, AAI’s current president of manufacturing, also will remain in similar or identical positions with AAI following the acquisition. None of American Apparel’s officers or directors currently has an employment agreement and is not entering into any employment agreement in connection with the acquisition, other than Mr. Charney. The terms of Mr. Charney’s employment agreement are described in the section entitled “Directors and Executive Officers of Endeavor Following the Acquisition —Employment Agreement and Non-Competition Covenants.” The employment arrangements between AAI and the CI companies and their respective officers and employees shall be subject to the review and authority of Endeavor’s board of directors and compensation committee. See the section entitled “Risk Factors—Investors

evaluating the proposals described in this proxy statement will not have, prior to the special meeting, certain information relating to compensation arrangements of officers, directors and employees of the combined companies.”

The officers and directors of American Apparel have interests in the acquisition that differ from, or are in addition to, those of Endeavor stockholders generally. In particular:

•

Mr. Charney stands to receive as many as approximately 37.3 million shares of Endeavor upon closing, which shares are subject to a three year lock-up agreement. In the event the acquisition is not consummated, none of the 37,258,065 shares issuable to Mr. Charney, which have an aggregate market value of approximately $458,274,200 as of November 1, 2007, would be issued. In addition, Mr. Charney will enter into an employment agreement with Endeavor concurrently with the closing of the acquisition under which he shall receive an annual base salary of $750,000 and also be entitled to receive an annual bonus of up to 150% of is base salary and a long-term bonus over the initial three-year term of the employment agreement of up to 300% of this base salary upon attainment by Endeavor of performance objectives to be determined by Endeavor’s compensation committee following the consummation of the acquisition.

•

Mr. Lim will receive an estimated $67.8 million in cash at the completion of the merger, assuming a December 14, 2007 closing.

•

Both Mr. Charney and Mr. Lim will have loans that they have made to the company in aggregate principal amounts of approximately $4.0 million and $180,000, respectively, repaid to them upon Closing.

•

Certain other officers and employees of American Apparel will have loans repaid to them that they have made to American Apparel. The aggregate principal amount of these loans is approximately $3.2 million. For further information regarding the repayment of all loans, see the section called “American Apparel Related Party Transactions.” They will also be potentially eligible for Endeavor shares made available to them under incentive plans going forward as a public company. Some will also be eligible for cash bonuses upon Closing.

Recommendation of Endeavor’s Board of Directors

After careful consideration, Endeavor’s board of directors determined unanimously that each of the acquisition proposal and the name change amendment, the capitalization amendment, the Article Sixth amendment and the performance equity plan proposals are fair to and in the best interests of Endeavor and its stockholders. Endeavor’s board of directors has approved and declared fair and advisable the acquisition, the name change amendment, the capitalization amendment, the Article Sixth amendment and the performance equity plan and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instructions to vote “FOR” each of the proposals to approve the acquisition proposal, the name change amendment, the capitalization amendment, the Article Sixth amendment and the performance equity plan.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Endeavor board of directors is not meant to be exhaustive, but includes the material information and factors considered by the Endeavor board of directors.

Opinion of Jefferies & Company, Inc.

Endeavor’s board of directors engaged Jefferies solely to render an opinion in connection with Endeavor’s acquisition of American Apparel based on the terms of the Original Agreement. On May 9, 2007, Jefferies delivered to Endeavor’s board of directors its opinion to the effect that, as of that date and based upon and subject to the various considerations and assumptions set forth in its opinion, (i) the consideration of approximately 32.3 million shares of Endeavor common stock that was to be paid by Endeavor under the terms of the Original

Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Endeavor common stock, other than affiliates of Endeavor, and (ii) the fair market value of American Apparel was at least equal to 80% of Endeavor’s net assets. Jefferies’ opinion assumed no adjustment under the terms of the Original Agreement to the number of shares to be issued based on American Apparel’s net debt.

The full text of Jefferies’ opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the scope of review undertaken by Jefferies in rendering its opinion, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex F. Endeavor encourages stockholders to read Jefferies’ opinion carefully and in its entirety. Jefferies’ opinion addresses only the fairness to the holders of Endeavor common stock, from a financial point of view and as of the date of Jefferies’ opinion, of the consideration of approximately 32.3 million shares of Endeavor common stock that was to be paid by Endeavor pursuant to the Original Agreement, and whether the fair market value of American Apparel was at least equal to 80% of Endeavor’s net assets. Jefferies’ opinion does not address any other aspect of the acquisition or the terms of the Acquisition Agreement. In addition, Jefferies’ opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of Endeavor common stock should vote on the acquisition or any matter related thereto.

In connection with its opinion, Jefferies, among other things:

•

reviewed the Original Agreement;

•

reviewed certain publicly available financial and other information about Endeavor and American Apparel;

•

reviewed certain information furnished to it by American Apparel’s management, including historical financial information and financial forecasts and analyses relating to the business, operations and prospects of American Apparel, which information included (i) limited forecast information relating to American Apparel’s Canadian business, Jefferies having been advised that more detailed financial forecasts for that business were not available, and (ii) certain adjustments to American Apparel’s historical consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization that were prepared by the management of American Apparel and also agreed to by Endeavor’s management;

•

reviewed certain information furnished to it by Endeavor’s management relating to Endeavor;

•

held discussions with members of senior management of Endeavor and American Apparel concerning the matters described in the three preceding paragraphs;

•

reviewed the share trading price history for Endeavor common stock for the period ending December 18, 2006, and considered the implied value of the consideration to be paid pursuant to the Original Agreement based upon the closing price of Endeavor common stock as of that date;

•

reviewed the valuation multiples for certain publicly traded companies that Jefferies deemed relevant in lines of business similar to the American Apparel;

•

compared the proposed financial terms of the acquisition with the financial terms of certain other transactions that Jefferies deemed relevant;

•

reviewed and compared the net asset value of Endeavor to the indicated fair market value of American Apparel; and

•

conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations as Jefferies deemed appropriate.

In Jefferies’ review and analysis and in rendering its opinion, Jefferies assumed and relied upon, but did not assume any responsibility to independently investigate or verify, the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information that was supplied or otherwise made available to it by Endeavor and American Apparel or that was publicly available (including, without limitation, the information described above), or that was otherwise reviewed by it. In its review, Jefferies did not obtain any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities of, nor did Jefferies conduct a physical inspection of any of the properties or facilities of,

Endeavor or American Apparel, nor was Jefferies furnished with any such evaluations of appraisals or such physical inspections, nor did Jefferies assume any responsibility to obtain any such evaluations or appraisals.

With respect to the financial forecasts provided to and examined by it, Jefferies’ opinion noted that projecting future results of any company is inherently subject to uncertainty. Endeavor and American Apparel informed Jefferies, however, and Jefferies assumed, that such financial forecasts were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of American Apparel as to the future financial performance of American Apparel, and Jefferies relied solely upon such financial forecasts prepared by the management of American Apparel. Jefferies expressed no opinion as to American Apparel’s financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they are made.

Jefferies’ opinion was based on economic, monetary, regulatory, market and other conditions existing and which could be evaluated as of the date of its opinion. Jefferies noted, however, that in rendering its opinion it analyzed the implied value of the consideration based upon the closing price of Endeavor common stock as of December 18, 2006, which was the date immediately prior to the date of the public announcement of the acquisition. Jefferies expressly disclaimed any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting Jefferies’ opinion of which Jefferies became aware after the date of its opinion.

Jefferies made no independent investigation of any legal or accounting matters affecting Endeavor or American Apparel, and Jefferies assumed the correctness in all respects material to Jefferies’ analysis of all legal and accounting advice given to Endeavor and its board of directors, including, without limitation, advice as to the legal, accounting and tax consequences of the terms of, and transactions contemplated by, the Original Agreement to Endeavor and its stockholders. In addition, Jefferies relied on certain adjustments to American Apparel’s historical consolidated cash flow figures that were prepared by the management of American Apparel and are summarized above under the section “—Certain Adjustments Considered by Endeavor.” Jefferies also assumed that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases for the acquisition, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Endeavor, American Apparel or the contemplated benefits of the acquisition.

Jefferies’ opinion was for the use and benefit of Endeavor’s board of directors of Endeavor in its consideration of the acquisition, and Jefferies’ opinion did not address the relative merits of the transactions contemplated by the Original Agreement as compared to any alternative transaction or opportunity that might be available to Endeavor, nor did it address the underlying business decision by Endeavor to engage in the acquisition or the terms of the Original Agreement or the documents referred to therein. Jefferies’ opinion did not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of shares of Endeavor common stock should vote on the acquisition or any matter related thereto. In addition, Jefferies was not asked to address, and its opinion did not address, the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the acquisition, other than the holders of shares of Endeavor common stock. Jefferies expressed no opinion as to the price at which shares of Endeavor common stock will trade at any time.

In preparing its opinion, Jefferies performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant quantitative and qualitative methods of financial analysis and the applications of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Jefferies believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole. Considering any portion of Jefferies’ analyses or the factors considered by Jefferies, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying the conclusion expressed in Jefferies’ opinion. In addition, Jefferies may have given various analyses more or less weight than other analyses, and may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions, so that the range of valuation resulting from any particular analysis described below should not be taken to be Jefferies’ view of Endeavor actual value. Accordingly, the conclusions reached by Jefferies are based on all analyses and factors taken as a whole and also on the application of Jefferies’ own experience and judgment.

In performing its analyses, Jefferies made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, monetary, regulatory, market and other conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond Endeavor’s and Jefferies’ control. The analyses performed by Jefferies are not necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. In addition, analyses relating to the per share value of Endeavor common stock do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which shares of Endeavor common stock may actually be sold. The analyses performed were prepared solely as part of Jefferies’ analysis of the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid by Endeavor pursuant to the acquisition, and were provided to Endeavor’s board of directors in connection with the delivery of Jefferies’ opinion.

The following is a summary of the material financial and comparative analyses performed by Jefferies in connection with Jefferies’ delivery of its opinion. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand Jefferies’ financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Considering the data described below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Jefferies’ financial analyses.

Transaction Overview. Based upon approximately 32.3 million shares of Endeavor common stock to be issued pursuant to the Original Agreement and the closing price of $7.55 per share of Endeavor common stock as of December 18, 2006 (one day prior to announcement of the acquisition), Jefferies noted that the acquisition consideration implied a total equity value of approximately $243.5 million. Assuming $110.0 million of indebtedness and $2.5 million of cash bonus payments to American Apparel’s management, Jefferies noted that the acquisition consideration implied a total enterprise value of approximately $356.0 million, which is referred to below as the Implied Consideration Value. The Implied Consideration Value provided a basis for comparing the amount that was to be paid by Endeavor for American Apparel to the implied valuations of American Apparel derived using the various valuation methodologies summarized below.

Comparable Public Company Analysis. Using publicly available information, Jefferies reviewed the share price trading history of a group consisting of the following five specialty retailers, which are referred to as the “Specialty Retailer Companies”, and a group consisting of the following three wholesale apparel manufacturers, which are referred to as the “Wholesale Apparel Manufacturer Companies”:

In its analysis, Jefferies derived multiples for the selected companies as of May 4, 2007, calculated as follows:

•

the enterprise value (which was obtained for each company by adding its short and long debt to the sum of the market value of its common equity and the book value of any minority interest, and subtracting its cash and cash equivalents) divided by LTM EBITDA, which is referred to as “Enterprise Value/LTM EBITDA,”

•

the enterprise value divided by estimated EBITDA for fiscal year 2007, which is referred to as “Enterprise Value/2007E EBITDA,” and

•

the enterprise value divided by estimated EBITDA for fiscal year 2008, which is referred to as “Enterprise Value/2008E EBITDA.”

This analysis indicated the following:

Using a reference range selected by Jefferies based on the factors described below in the last paragraph of the Comparable Public Company Analysis of 12.0x to 14.0x Specialty Retailer Companies’ 2006 EBITDA and 8.0x to 10.0x Wholesale Apparel Manufacturer Companies’ 2006 EBITDA, Jefferies determined an implied blended multiple for American Apparel ranging from 11.0x to 13.0x American Apparel’s 2006 EBITDA of $30.9 million (as provided to Jefferies in connection with the delivery of its opinion dated May 9, 2007). The implied blended multiple range was calculated from the reference range on a sum-of-the-parts basis based upon approximately 75% of American Apparel’s projected EBITDA resulting from its retail business and approximately 25% of its projected EBITDA resulting from its wholesale business. Using financial information provided by American Apparel’s management, this analysis indicated a range of implied total enterprise values of approximately $340.4 million to $402.2 million, compared to the Implied Consideration Value of approximately $356.0 million.

Using a reference range selected by Jefferies based on the factors described below in the last paragraph of the Comparable Public Company Analysis of 10.0x to 12.0x Specialty Retailer Companies’ 2007E EBITDA and 7.5x to 9.5x Wholesale Apparel Manufacturer Companies’ 2007E EBITDA, Jefferies determined an implied blended multiple for American Apparel ranging from 9.4x to 11.4x American Apparel’s 2007E EBITDA of $40.0 million (as provided to Jefferies in connection with the delivery of its opinion dated May 9, 2007). The implied blended multiple range was calculated from the reference range on a sum-of-the-parts basis based upon the mix of American Apparel’s projected EBITDA from its retail and wholesale businesses described above. Using financial projections provided by American Apparel’s management, this analysis indicated a range of implied total enterprise values of approximately $375.0 million to $455.0 million, compared to the Implied Consideration Value of approximately $356.0 million.

Using a reference range selected by Jefferies based on the factors described below in the last paragraph of the Comparable Public Company Analysis of 8.0x to 10.0x Specialty Retailer Companies’ 2008E EBITDA and 6.5x to 8.5x Wholesale Apparel Manufacturer Companies’ 2008E EBITDA, Jefferies determined an implied blended multiple for American Apparel ranging from 7.6x to 9.6x American Apparel’s 2008E EBITDA of $49.2 million (as provided to Jefferies in connection with the delivery of its opinion dated May 9, 2007). The implied blended multiple range was calculated from the reference range on a sum-of-the-parts basis based upon the mix of American Apparel’s projected EBITDA from its retail and wholesale businesses described above. Using financial projections provided by American Apparel’s management, this analysis indicated a range of implied total enterprise values of approximately $375.5 million to $474.0 million, compared to the Implied Consideration Value of approximately $356.0 million.

Jefferies selected the Specialty Retailer Companies and Wholesale Apparel Manufacturer Companies because their businesses and operating profiles are similar to that of American Apparel in certain respects. However, because of the inherent differences between the business, operations and prospects of American Apparel and the businesses, operations and prospects of the selected companies, no company utilized in the comparable public company analysis is identical to American Apparel. Therefore, Jefferies believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the comparable public company analysis. Accordingly, Jefferies also made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the financial and operating characteristics and prospects of American Apparel and the companies included in this analysis that would affect the public trading values of each in order to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis. These qualitative judgments related primarily to the differing sizes, number of store locations and historical same-store growth (for Specialty Retailer Companies only), historical and projected revenue growth and projected earnings growth, profitability levels and degree of operational risk between American Apparel and the companies included in this analysis. Jefferies also made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond Endeavor’s and Jefferies’ control. Mathematical analysis, such as determining the mean or median, is not in itself a meaningful method of using comparable company data.

Comparable Transaction Analysis. Using publicly available and other information, Jefferies examined the following seven transactions involving specialty apparel retailers announced since 2003 with transaction values greater than $90.0 million and less than $1.1 billion, which are referred to as the “Specialty Retailer Transactions.” The Specialty Retailer Transactions considered and the month and year each transaction was announced were as follows:

Specialty Retailer Transactions


Target	Acquiror	Month and Year Announced	Target LTM EBITDA ($ in millions)
Fat Face Limited	Bridgepoint Capital Limited	March 2007	58.0
ROC Apparel Group, LLC	Iconix Brand Group, Inc.	March 2007	N/A
Kate Spade, LLC	Liz Claiborne, Inc.	November 2006	N/A
The J. Jill Group, Inc.	The Talbots, Inc.	February 2006	26.3

Barneys New York, Inc.	Jones Apparel Group, Inc.	November 2004	49.4
The White House, Inc.	Chico’s FAS, Inc.	July 2003	8.3

Using publicly available and other information, Jefferies also examined the following seven transactions involving wholesale apparel manufacturers announced since 2003 with transaction values greater than $90.0 million and less than $1.1 billion, which are referred to as the “Wholesale Apparel Manufacturer Transactions.” The Wholesale Apparel Manufacturer Transactions considered and the month and year each transaction was announced were as follows:

Wholesale Apparel Manufacturer Transactions


Target	Acquiror	Month and Year Announced	Target LTM EBITDA ($ in millions)
Cutter & Buck, Inc.	New Wave Group AB	April 2007	13.1
Americana International Limited	HgCapital	March 2007	N/A
VF Intimates, LP	Fruit of the Loom, Inc.	January 2007	N/A
Russell Corp.	Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.	April 2006	132.1
Haggar Corp.	Consortium of Buyers led by Infinity Associates	August 2005	22.1
Alpha Shirt Holdings, Inc.	Broder Bros., Co.	July 2003	29.3
Nautica Enterprises, Inc.	VF Corporation	July 2003	81.3

Using publicly available estimates and other information for each of these transactions, Jefferies reviewed the transaction value (which was obtained by calculating the enterprise value of the target company using the purchase price of the transaction) as a multiple of the target company’s LTM EBITDA immediately preceding announcement of the transaction, which is referred to below as “Transaction Value/LTM EBITDA.”

Specialty Retailer Transactions


	Mean	Median	American Apparel*
Transaction Value/LTM EBITDA	11.3x	11.0x	11.3x

Wholesale Apparel Manufacturer Transactions

Transaction Value/LTM EBITDA	8.5x	8.7x	11.3x

*	Multiple implied by Implied Consideration Value

Using a reference range selected by Jefferies based on the factors described below in the last paragraph of the Comparable Transactions Analysis of 10.0x to 12.0x Specialty Retailer Companies’ 2006 EBITDA and 8.0x to 10.0x Wholesale Apparel Manufacturer Companies’ 2006 EBITDA, Jefferies determined an implied blended multiple for American Apparel ranging from 9.5x to 11.5x American Apparel’s 2006 EBITDA of $30.9 million (as provided to Jefferies in connection with the delivery of its opinion dated May 9, 2007). The implied blended multiple range was calculated from the reference range on a sum-of-the-parts basis based upon the mix of American Apparel’s projected EBITDA from its retail and wholesale businesses described above. Using financial information provided by American Apparel’s management, this analysis indicated a range of implied total enterprise values of approximately $293.9 million to $355.8 million, compared to the Implied Consideration Value of approximately $356.0 million.

Jefferies chose the transactions used in this analysis based on the similarity of the target companies in the transactions to American Apparel in the size, mix, margins and other characteristics of their businesses. The reasons for and the circumstances surrounding each of the transactions analyzed were diverse and there are inherent differences in the business, operations, financial conditions and prospects of American Apparel, and the businesses, operations, financial conditions and prospects of the companies included in the comparable transaction analysis. Therefore, Jefferies believed that a purely quantitative comparable transaction analysis would not be particularly meaningful in the context of the merger and therefore did not rely solely on the quantitative results of the selected transaction analysis. Accordingly, Jefferies also made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the characteristics of the transactions and the merger. Jefferies applied in its analysis a range of multiples that it believed reflected the appropriate range of transaction value multiples applicable to American Apparel. Jefferies also made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond Endeavor’s and Jefferies’ control. Mathematical analysis, such as determining the mean or median, is not in itself a meaningful method of using comparable company data.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Jefferies performed a discounted cash flow analysis for American Apparel to estimate the present value of American Apparel’s after-tax unlevered cash flows, which is referred to as free cash flows, calculated as of December 31, 2006.

A discounted cash flow analysis is a traditional valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of a business by calculating the “present value” of its estimated future free cash flows. “Present value” refers to the current value of future free cash flows or amounts and is obtained by discounting those future free cash flows or amounts by a discount rate that takes into account macro-economic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, expected returns and other appropriate factors. Jefferies performed a discounted cash flow analysis for American Apparel by adding (1) the present value of American Apparel’s projected free cash flows for fiscal years 2007 through 2011 to (2) the present value of the “terminal value” of American Apparel as of December 31, 2011. “Terminal value” refers to the value of all future free cash flows from a business at a particular point in time.

Using American Apparel management’s financial projections, Jefferies estimated a range of terminal values by applying a range of EBITDA multiples of 8.0x to 9.0x to American Apparel’s 2011 projected EBITDA. The range of EBITDA multiples was selected based on the range of EBITDA multiples indicated in the Comparable Public Company Analysis summarized above; in particular, in selecting this range of EBITDA multiples, Jefferies focused on the LTM EBITDA multiples for Abercrombie & Fitch Co., Aeropostale, Inc. and American Eagle Outfitters, Inc., whose LTM EBITDA trading multiples were 8.5x, 9.7x and 8.5x, respectively, because

Jefferies believed that the trading multiples for those companies would be most relevant to American Apparel at the terminal year of 2011 based upon the current store counts for those companies and American Apparel’s projected store count at the terminal year 2011. Jefferies discounted the free cash flow streams and the estimated terminal value to a present value at a range of discount rates from 14.0% to 16.0%. The discount rates utilized in this analysis were chosen by Jefferies based on an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital (or WACC) of American Apparel, which is based on a WACC analysis for the Specialty Retailer Companies and Wholesale Apparel Manufacturer Companies. In selecting a set of comparable public companies for this purpose, Jefferies reviewed and compared specific financial, operating and market data relating to American Apparel with selected companies that Jefferies deemed comparable in certain respects to American Apparel.

Based on the projections and assumptions set forth above, the discounted cash flow analysis of American Apparel indicated a range of implied equity values of approximately $559.4 million to $696.5 million, and a range of implied total enterprise values of approximately $671.9 million to $809.0 million, compared to the Implied Consideration Value of approximately $356.0 million.

Net Asset Analysis. Jefferies reviewed and estimated Endeavor’s net assets based on its stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2006 and compared that to American Apparel’s indicated range of equity values using each of the methodologies described above. Jefferies noted that the fair market value of American Apparel exceeded 80% of Endeavor’s net asset value for each of these analyses.

Jefferies’ opinion was one of many factors taken into consideration by Endeavor’s board of directors in making its determination on the acquisition and should not be considered determinative of the views of Endeavor’s board of directors with respect to the acquisition.

Jefferies was selected by Endeavor’s board of directors based on Jefferies’ qualifications, expertise and reputation. Jefferies is an internationally recognized investment banking and advisory firm. Jefferies, as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements, financial restructurings and other financial services.

Pursuant to an engagement letter between Endeavor and Jefferies dated March 17, 2007, Endeavor agreed to pay Jefferies a fee in the amount of $600,000 for its services. Of this amount, $300,000 was payable upon delivery of Jefferies’ opinion and the balance is payable upon the earliest to occur of the consummation of the acquisition, abandonment of the acquisition, or termination of the engagement letter. In addition, Endeavor has agreed to reimburse Jefferies for reasonable expenses incurred, including reasonable fees and disbursements of Jefferies’ legal counsel. Endeavor also has agreed to indemnify Jefferies and certain related parties against liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, arising out of or in connection with the services rendered and to be rendered by it under its engagement. Jefferies has provided investment banking services to an affiliate of Endeavor subsequent to its delivery of its opinion in May 2007, but has not provided any other services to either American Apparel or Endeavor during the past two years.

In the ordinary course of Jefferies’ business, Jefferies and its affiliates may trade or hold securities of Endeavor and/or its affiliates for Jefferies’ own account and for the accounts of Jefferies’ customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions in those securities. In addition, Jefferies may seek to, in the future, provide financial advisory and financing services to Endeavor, American Apparel or entities that are affiliated with Endeavor or American Apparel, for which Jefferies would expect to receive compensation. Pursuant to its engagement letter with Endeavor, Jefferies consented to the inclusion of its opinion in this proxy statement.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition

The following section is a summary of the opinion of Graubard Miller, counsel to Endeavor, regarding material United States federal income tax consequences of the acquisition to holders of Endeavor common stock. This discussion addresses only those Endeavor security holders that hold their securities as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and does not address all the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their individual circumstances or to holders that are subject to special rules, such as:

•

financial institutions;

•

investors in pass-through entities;

•

tax-exempt organizations;

•

dealers in securities or currencies;

•

traders in securities that elect to use a mark to market method of accounting;

•

persons that hold Endeavor common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or conversion transaction; and

•

persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States.

The Graubard Miller opinion is based upon the Code, applicable treasury regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax considerations under state, local and foreign laws, or federal laws other than those pertaining to the income tax, are not addressed.

Neither Endeavor nor American Apparel intends to request any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to the United States federal income tax consequences of the acquisition.

It is the opinion of Graubard Miller that the acquisition will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and no gain or loss will be recognized by Endeavor or American Apparel as a result of the acquisition. It is also the opinion of Graubard Miller that no gain or loss will be recognized by Endeavor or by the stockholders of Endeavor if their conversion rights are not exercised.

It is also the opinion of Graubard Miller that a stockholder of Endeavor who exercises conversion rights and effects a termination of the stockholder’s interest in Endeavor will be required to recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of that stockholder’s shares of common stock of Endeavor for cash. Such gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of that stockholder’s shares of Endeavor common stock. This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the acquisition and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the share of Endeavor common stock is more than one year. The tax opinion issued to Endeavor by Graubard Miller, its counsel, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex I. Graubard Miller has consented to the use of its opinion in this proxy statement.

This discussion is intended to provide all material United States federal income tax consequences of the acquisition to Endeavor and its stockholders who hold their stock as a capital asset. This discussion is not a complete analysis or description of all potential United States federal tax consequences of the acquisition to other holders who are subject to special rules. It does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, your individual circumstances. In addition, the discussion does not address any non-income tax or any foreign, state or local tax consequences of the acquisition. Accordingly, you are strongly urged to consult with your tax advisor to determine the particular United States federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences to you of the acquisition.

The tax opinion issued to Endeavor by Graubard Miller, its counsel, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex I. Graubard Miller has consented to the use of its opinion in this proxy statement.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The acquisition will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization since the stockholders of American Apparel will own a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock immediately following the completion of the transaction. American Apparel will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of American Apparel. Accordingly, American Apparel’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will become the historical financial statements of the registrant, and Endeavor’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with American Apparel effective as of the acquisition date. The CI companies will be retroactively consolidated with AAI as they are entities under common control.

Regulatory Matters

No notification or filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 is required in connection with the acquisition. The acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement do not require any pre-closing filings with federal, state or Canadian federal or provincial authorities.

THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

The following summary of the material provisions of the Acquisition Agreement is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Acquisition Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement as it may be amended. All stockholders are encouraged to read the Acquisition Agreement in its entirety for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the acquisition.

General; Structure of Acquisition

On November 7, 2007, Endeavor entered into the Acquisition Agreement with each of the American Apparel companies and all of the stockholders of the American Apparel companies. Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Endeavor, which was formed to effectuate the acquisition, is also a party to the Acquisition Agreement. In the acquisition:

•

AAI will merge into the Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Endeavor;

•

Endeavor will change its name to “American Apparel, Inc.” and Merger Sub will change its name to “American Apparel (USA), LLC”; and

•

Endeavor will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of each of the CI companies, and each such company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endeavor.

The American Apparel stockholders approved and adopted the Acquisition Agreement, as amended, and the transactions contemplated thereby by virtue of their respective execution of the Acquisition Agreement. Accordingly, no further action is required to be taken by American Apparel stockholders to approve the acquisition.

Closing and Effective Time of the Acquisition

The Closing will take place promptly following the satisfaction of the conditions described below under “The Acquisition Agreement—Conditions to the Closing of the Acquisition,” unless Endeavor and American Apparel agree in writing to another time. The Closing is expected to occur promptly after the special meeting of Endeavor’s stockholders described in this proxy statement.

After Closing:

•

the name of Endeavor will be “American Apparel, Inc.”;

•

the corporate headquarters and principal executive offices of Endeavor will be located at 747 Warehouse Street, Los Angeles, California 90021, which is American Apparel’s corporate headquarters; and

•

Endeavor and American Apparel will cause the common stock, warrants and units of Endeavor outstanding prior to the acquisition, which are traded on the American Stock Exchange, to continue trading on the American Stock Exchange or to be quoted on either the Nasdaq Global Market or Nasdaq Capital Market. The symbols for our securities will change to new symbols determined by the board of directors and the trading medium that are reasonably representative of the corporate name or business of Endeavor.

Acquisition Consideration

Generally

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Mr. Charney, in consideration of Endeavor receiving ownership of all of the securities of American Apparel outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, will receive from Endeavor an aggregate of 37,258,065 shares of Endeavor common stock, such shares being subject to downward adjustment based on American Apparel’s net debt at closing.

Reduction of Shares Based on Net Debt

If American Apparel’s net debt as defined in the Acquisition Agreement at the close of business on the date two business days prior to the closing of the acquisition is more than $150,000,000, the number of shares Mr. Charney will receive will be reduced by that number of shares equal to the quotient derived by dividing (i) the difference between the Closing Date net debt and $150,000,000 by (ii) $7.75 (rounded up to the nearest shares); provided, however, that if Closing Date net debt is equal to or less than $150,000,000, there shall be no reduction. As of September 30, 2007, American Apparel’s net debt was approximately $124 million and it is not anticipated to exceed $150,000,000 at Closing. Accordingly, it is unlikely that any adjustment will be made to the number of shares issued to Mr. Charney. “Net debt” is defined in the Acquisition Agreement to mean American Apparel’s combined indebtedness (i.e., all indebtedness for borrowed money and capitalized leases and equivalents and other obligations evidenced by promissory notes or similar instruments, as well as cash overdrafts), less American Apparel’s combined cash and cash equivalents (i.e., all short-term money market instruments and treasury bills and similar instruments).

Lim Buyout

Mr. Charney has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all of Mr. Lim’s equity interests in the American Apparel companies in the Lim Buyout prior to Closing. The purchase price shall be $60 million plus an additional cash price (“Additional Purchase Price”) equal to the amount of interest accrued on the $60 million purchase price at a rate of 20% per annum, compounded monthly, from May 1, 2007 through the date the Lim Buyout is consummated. The $60 million purchase price plus any Additional Purchase Price is referred to as the “Lim Payment Amount.” In the event that the Lim Buyout is not consummated by Mr. Charney prior to Closing for any reason, Endeavor shall effect the Lim Buyout as part of and conditioned upon the consummation of the acquisition by paying to Mr. Lim the Lim Payment Amount in cash. Since there is no economic incentive for Mr. Charney to affect the Lim Buyout, Endeavor will effectively be required to affect the Lim Buyout. If the acquisition was consummated on December 14, 2007, and Endeavor is required to effect the Lim Buyout on the same date, Endeavor would pay Mr. Lim approximately $67.8 million.

Post-Closing ownership of Endeavor common stock

As a result of the acquisition, and assuming that there is no adjustment to the number of shares issued based on American Apparel’s net debt and that:

•

Escrow Agreement

8,064,516 shares of the Endeavor common stock received by the American Apparel stockholders will be placed into escrow to secure the indemnity rights of Endeavor under the Acquisition Agreement. The escrow will be governed by the terms of an escrow agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex G.

Lock-Up Agreement

Mr. Charney has entered into a lock-up agreement to not sell or otherwise transfer any of the shares of Endeavor common stock received by him in the acquisition until the third anniversary of the closing of the acquisition, subject to certain exceptions, such as transfers to family members who agree to be similarly bound by the terms of the lock-up. The lock-up agreement alleviates any potential dilutive impact of such shares upon the market price of Endeavor common stock during the periods the restrictions apply.

Employment Agreements

A condition to the Closing is that Mr. Charney, American Apparel’s current chief executive officer, shall enter into an employment agreement with Endeavor and/or American Apparel, effective upon the Closing. The employment agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex J. For a summary of the employment agreement, see the section entitled “Directors and Executive Officers of Endeavor Following the Acquisition—Employment Agreement and Non-Competition Covenants.” We encourage you to read the employment agreement in its entirety.

Election of Directors; Voting Agreement

Certain of the Endeavor Inside Stockholders and Mr. Charney, the sole American Apparel principal stockholder who will become a stockholder of Endeavor upon consummation of the acquisition, will enter into a voting agreement immediately prior to closing of the acquisition. The voting agreement will provide that Mr. Charney, on the one hand, and such Endeavor Inside Stockholders, on the other hand, will each designate four directors and mutually designate one additional directors to Endeavor’s board. Each of the parties to the voting agreement will vote for such designees as directors of Endeavor until immediately following the election that will be held in 2010. Endeavor will be obligated to provide for its board of directors to be comprised of nine members and to enable the election to the board of directors of the persons designated by the parties to the voting agreement. The form of voting agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex E. We encourage you to read the voting agreement in its entirety.

Immediately upon the consummation of the acquisition, the directors of Endeavor will be Messrs. Charney, Robert Greene, Mark Klein, Adrian Kowalewski, Allan Mayer, Keith Miller, Mark Samson, Mortimer Singer and Mark Thornton. Under the terms of the voting agreement, Mr. Charney, on the one hand, and the Endeavor Inside Stockholders who are party to the voting agreement, on the other hand, have agreed to vote for the designees to Endeavor’s board of directors through the election in 2010 as follows:

•

in the class to stand for reelection in 2008—Messrs. Greene, Miller and Mayer.

•

in the class to stand for reelection in 2009—Messrs. Kowalewski, Klein and Singer.

•

in the class to stand for reelection in 2010—Messrs. Charney, Samson and Thornton.

Endeavor’s directors do not currently receive any cash compensation for their services as members of the board of directors. Our non-employee directors will receive annual stock grants to purchase that number of shares of our common stock having an aggregate market value of $75,000 at the time of grant, with the first grant being made at the closing of the proposed acquisition and on each anniversary of service thereafter. Non-employee directors also will receive $1,000 for each board and committee meeting attended and shall be reimbursed for travel expenses incurred in connection with attending these meetings.

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Endeavor and Mr. Charney will enter into a registration rights agreement to provide Mr. Charney certain rights relating to the registration of shares of Endeavor common stock that he will receive in connection with the acquisition. Under the registration rights agreement, Mr. Charney is afforded both demand and piggyback registration rights. The registration rights agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex H.

The Endeavor stockholders will also be asked to approve the performance equity plan and to approve the removal of all of the provisions of Article Sixth of Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation other than the paragraph relating to Endeavor’s classified board of directors. The consummation of the acquisition is not dependent on the approval of either of such actions.

The acquisition will be consummated only if holders of twenty percent (20%) or more of the shares of Endeavor common stock issued in Endeavor’s IPO and outstanding immediately before the consummation of the acquisition shall not have properly exercised their rights to convert their shares into a pro rata share of the trust account in accordance with Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation.

•

Mr. Charney shall have received from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, or other legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Mr. Charney, a legal opinion which opines that the acquisition by Endeavor of all of the securities of the CI companies outstanding immediately prior to Closing constitutes a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code; and

•

the trust fund established for the benefit of the holders of Endeavor’s public common stock shall contain no less than $124,042,336 and shall be dispersed to Endeavor immediately upon the closing, less (i) any amounts that may be paid to Mr. Lim by Endeavor, (ii) amounts paid to Endeavor stockholders who have elected to convert their shares to cash in accordance with Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation, (iii) repayment of any interest-free loans made by certain stockholders of Endeavor to fund necessary operating expenses of Endeavor prior to closing, and (iv) expenses incurred by Endeavor in connection with the business combination that are not otherwise paid with Endeavor’s assets held outside of the trust fund.

•

there shall have been no material adverse effect with respect to American Apparel since the date of the Acquisition Agreement;

•

the employment agreement between American Apparel and Mr. Charney shall have been executed by Mr. Charney and such employment agreement be in full force and effect; as of the closing of the acquisition;

•

American Apparel shall have obtained all necessary authorization under the applicable laws of Canada and its provinces, including a Section 116 Certificate.

Indemnification

As the sole remedy for the obligation of the American Apparel stockholders to indemnify and hold harmless Endeavor for any damages, whether as a result of any third party claim or otherwise, which arise as a result of or in connection with the breach of representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of American Apparel, at the closing of the acquisition, 8,064,516 shares of Endeavor common stock to be issued to the American Apparel stockholders as acquisition consideration will be deposited in escrow. Claims for indemnification may be asserted by Endeavor once the damages exceed $250,000 and are indemnifiable to the extent that damages exceed $250,000. Any shares of Endeavor common stock remaining in the indemnity escrow fund on the later of (a) the first anniversary of the closing of the acquisition and (b) the thirtieth day after the date that Endeavor files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, or for such further period as may be required pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, shall be released to the persons entitled to them. For purposes of satisfying an indemnification claim, shares of Endeavor common stock will be valued at the average reported last sale price for the ten trading days ending on the last day prior to the day that the claim is paid. The escrow agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex F. We encourage you to read the escrow agreement in its entirety.

The board of directors of Endeavor has appointed Mark Samson to take all necessary actions and make all decisions pursuant to the escrow agreement regarding Endeavor’s right to indemnification under the Acquisition Agreement. If Mr. Samson ceases to so act, Endeavor’s board of directors shall appoint as a successor a person who was a director of Endeavor prior to the closing who would qualify as an “independent” director of Endeavor and who had no relationship with American Apparel prior to the closing. Mr. Samson, and any successor, is

charged with making determinations whether Endeavor may be entitled to indemnification, and may make a claim for indemnification by giving notice to Mr. Charney, with a copy to the escrow agent, specifying the details of the claim. Mr. Charney may accept the claim or dispute it. If the claim is disputed by Mr. Charney and not ultimately resolved by negotiation, it shall be determined by arbitration. Upon a claim and its value becoming established by the parties or through arbitration, it is payable from the shares placed in escrow or cash substituted therefor.

Termination

The Acquisition Agreement provides that it may be terminated at any time, but not later than the closing, as follows:

•

by mutual written consent of Endeavor and American Apparel;

•

by either party if a governmental entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the acquisition, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;

•

by either party if the other party has breached any of its covenants or representations and warranties in any material respect and has not cured its breach within 30 days of the notice of an intent to terminate, provided that the terminating party is itself not in breach;

•

by either party if, at the Endeavor stockholder meeting, the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby shall fail to be approved and adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of Endeavor’s common stock, or the holders of 20% or more of the shares issued in Endeavor’s IPO properly exercise their conversion rights; and

•

by either party if the acquisition has not been consummated by December 15, 2007.

If permitted under the applicable law, either American Apparel or Endeavor may waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained in the Acquisition Agreement and waive compliance with any agreements or conditions for the benefit of itself or such party contained in the Acquisition Agreement. The condition requiring that the holders of fewer than 20% of the shares of Endeavor common stock issued in its IPO affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal and properly demand conversion of their shares into cash may not be waived. We cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied or waived. Endeavor’s board of directors will resolicit stockholder approval of the acquisition if either party waives a material condition to the Acquisition Agreement (other than those waivers granted to date and described in “The Acquisition Agreement—Certain Waivers and Modifications”) or such changes in the terms of the acquisition render the disclosure previously provided materially misleading.

Certain Waivers and Amendments

Waivers

In March and April 2007, Endeavor waived certain obligations of American Apparel contained in the Original Agreement. Specifically, Endeavor waived the requirement that:

•

American Apparel deliver audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 by January 30, 2007, although not the obligation to ultimately deliver such financial statements (which have since been delivered);

•

American Apparel deliver projections that demonstrate it would have EBITDA of at least $50 million for the year ending December 31, 2007; and

•

American Apparel deliver projections that demonstrate it would have EBITDA of at least $70 million for the year ending December 31, 2008.

Endeavor waived these pro forma adjusted EBITDA projection requirements for 2007 and 2008 due to changes in the original timing assumptions used by American Apparel in its projections for receipt of both additional interim bank debt financing and the equity financing that the parties believed would be available to American Apparel as a result of the acquisition. The existing projections were also impacted by various covenants then in

place on American Apparel’s existing debt financing that the parties believed served to limit the number of store openings for 2007 to a number lower than that contained in American Apparel’s original projections. No additional obligations were imposed or agreed to in connection with the foregoing waivers.

Modifications

The Original Agreement provided as a condition to Endeavor’s obligation to close the acquisition that American Apparel have EBITDA of at least $30 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, after giving effect to certain adjustments, such as inventory write downs and workers compensation expenses, aggregating $5 million. In April 2007, Endeavor allowed an increase to the adjustments to approximately $9.9 million in the aggregate. The rationale behind this modification was principally to accommodate an approximate $3.5 million inventory obsolescence reserve established in connection with American Apparel’s 2006 audit and the proposed acquisition. No additional obligations were imposed or agreed to in connection with the foregoing modification.

As of November 6, 2007, the Original Agreement was amended to give effect to the foregoing waivers by removing those financial statement and financial projections delivery obligations and to, among other things:

•

substitute a limited liability company for the corporation to serve as Merger Sub;

•

increase the number of shares of Endeavor being issued to Mr. Charney at the closing of the acquisition from 32,258,065 to 37,258,065;

•

provide that if Mr. Charney does not affect the Lim Buyout prior to closing of the acquisition and Endeavor is therefore required to affect the Lim Buyout, the shares issuable to Mr. Charney in the acquisition would not be reduced as provided in the Original Agreement;

•

increase the level of American Apparel’s net debt above which there would be an adjustment in the number of shares issued to Mr. Charney at closing of the acquisition from $110 million to $150 million;

•

increase the size of the 2007 performance equity plan from 2,710,000 shares to 7,710,000 shares and to provide that stock awards for an aggregate of 2,710,000 shares would be issued thereunder after consummation of the closing and upon filing of an effective registration statement on Form S-8; and

•

eliminate as a closing condition the hiring of a chief financial officer, chief operations officer and chief information officer.

Please see the section entitled “Background of the Acquisition” for a discussion of the history of these waivers and amendments, and the section entitled “Important events subsequent to initial board approval” for a discussion on Endeavor’s reasons for agreeing to these changes.

Effect of Termination

In the event of proper termination by either Endeavor or American Apparel , the Acquisition Agreement will become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Endeavor or American Apparel, except that:

•

the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Acquisition Agreement will survive;

•

the waiver by American Apparel and the American Apparel stockholders of all rights against Endeavor to collect from the trust account any moneys that may be owed to them by Endeavor for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to a breach of the Acquisition Agreement, and the acknowledgement that neither American Apparel nor the American Apparel stockholders will seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever, will survive;

•

the rights of the parties to bring actions against each other for breach of the Acquisition Agreement will survive; and

•

the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will be paid by the party incurring such expenses.

The Acquisition Agreement does not provide for specific penalties or payments in the event of a material breach by a party of its covenants or warranties or a refusal or wrongful failure of the other party to consummate the acquisition. In such event, the non-wrongful party would be entitled to assert its legal rights for breach of contract against the wrongful party.

Fees and Expenses

All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Acquisition Agreement is consummated.

Confidentiality; Access to Information

Endeavor and American Apparel will afford to the other party and its financial advisors, accountants, counsel and other representatives prior to the completion of the acquisition reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to all of their respective properties, books, records and personnel to obtain all information concerning the business, including the status of product development efforts, properties, results of operations and personnel, as each party may reasonably request. Endeavor and American Apparel will maintain in confidence any non-public information received from the other party, and use such non-public information only for purposes of consummating the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement.

Amendments

The Acquisition Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

Extension; Waiver

At any time prior to the closing, any party to the Acquisition Agreement may, in writing, to the extent legally allowed:

•

extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties to the agreement;

•

waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained in the Acquisition Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement; and

•

waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained in the Acquisition Agreement.

Public Announcements

Endeavor and American Apparel have agreed that until closing or termination of the Acquisition Agreement, the parties will:

•

cooperate in good faith to jointly prepare all press releases and public announcements pertaining to the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions governed by it; and

•

not issue or otherwise make any public announcement or communication pertaining to the Acquisition Agreement or the transaction without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld by the other party, except as may be required by applicable laws or court process.

Arbitration

Any disputes or claims arising under or in connection with the Acquisition Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereunder will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration will be commenced by the filing by a party of an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration will be governed and conducted by applicable AAA rules, and any award or decision shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Each party consented to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware, New Castle County, for such purpose. The arbitration shall be conducted in Wilmington, Delaware. Each party shall pay its own fees and expenses for the arbitration, except that any costs and charges imposed by the AAA and any fees of the arbitrator shall be assessed against the losing party.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines Endeavor’s historical balance sheet and those of AAI and the CI companies as of September 30, 2007, giving effect to the transactions described in the Acquisition Agreement as if they had occurred on September 30, 2007. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations combine Endeavor’s historical statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 with those of AAI and the CI companies for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, in each case giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2006.

The acquisition will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization since the stockholders of American Apparel will own a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock immediately following the completion of the transaction. American Apparel will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of American Apparel. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements are those of American Apparel and are recorded at the historical cost basis of American Apparel. Endeavor’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of American Apparel after consummation of the acquisition. The CI companies’ financial results will be retroactively combined with those of AAI as they are entities under common control.

The pro forma adjustments give effect to events that are directly attributable to the transactions discussed below that have a continuing impact on the operations of Endeavor and are based on available data and certain assumptions that management believes are factually supportable.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements described above should be read in conjunction with Endeavor’s historical financial statements and those of AAI and the CI companies and the related notes thereto. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and the unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the acquisition taken place on the dates noted, or of Endeavor’s future financial position or operating results.

On December 18, 2006 Endeavor entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization, which was amended and restated on November 7, 2007, by which it will acquire American Apparel. In exchange for all of the securities of American Apparel, Endeavor will issue 37,258,065 shares of its common stock, subject to downward adjustment based on American Apparel’s net debt immediately prior to closing of the acquisition. Mr. Charney has the right but not the obligation to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock and membership interest of the various American Apparel companies owned by Mr. Lim prior to the closing of the acquisition. In the event that the Lim Buyout is not consummated by Mr. Charney prior to closing of the acquisition for any reason, Endeavor shall effect the Lim Buyout as part of the acquisition by paying Mr. Lim cash for all of his equity interests in American Apparel.

The purchase price payable to Mr. Lim shall be $60 million plus an additional cash price (“Additional Purchase Price”) equal to the amount of interest accrued on the $60 million purchase price at a rate of 20% per annum, compounded monthly, from May 1, 2007 through the date the Lim Buyout is consummated. The $60 million purchase price plus any Additional Purchase Price is referred to as the “Lim Payment Amount.” In the event that the Lim Buyout is not consummated by Mr. Charney prior to the closing of the acquisition for any reason, Endeavor shall effect the Lim Buyout as part of and conditioned upon the consummation of the acquisition by paying to Mr. Lim the Lim Payment Amount in cash. Since there is no economic incentive for Mr. Charney to affect the Lim Buyout, Endeavor will effectively be required to affect the Lim Buyout. If the acquisition is consummated on December 14, 2007, and Endeavor is required to effect the Lim Buyout on the same date, Endeavor would pay Mr. Lim approximately $67.8 million.

Consummation of the acquisition is conditioned upon, among other things, the Endeavor stockholders adopting and approving the Acquisition Agreement. If Endeavor stockholders owning 20% or more of Endeavor common stock sold in the IPO vote against the acquisition and exercise their right to convert their shares of Endeavor common stock issued in the IPO into a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, then the acquisition cannot be consummated. Consequently, up to 3,232,148 shares of Endeavor common stock, representing approximately 19.99% of the 16,160,745 shares of Endeavor common stock issued in Endeavor’s IPO are subject to possible conversion in this manner. This would represent an aggregate maximum conversion liability of approximately $25.7 million as of September 30, 2007. As indicated in the pro forma balance sheets which follow, Endeavor would have adequate cash resources to satisfy this liability, even if Endeavor is the party required to affect the Lim Buyout.

The following unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared using four different assumptions with respect to the number of outstanding shares of Endeavor stock and cash, as follows:

•

assuming maximum conversions and Endeavor consummate the Lim Buyout—this presentation assumes that stockholders of Endeavor owning approximately 19.99% of the stock sold in Endeavor’s initial public offering seek conversion and Endeavor purchases all of Mr. Lim’s equity interest in the American Apparel companies using a portion of the trust fund (estimated at approximately $67.8 million assuming Closing occurs on December 14, 2007).

We are providing this information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements described above should be read in conjunction with Endeavor’s historical financial statements and those of AAI and the CI companies and the related notes thereto. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and the unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the acquisition taken place on the dates noted, or of Endeavor’s future financial position or operating results.

Additional Disclosures:

Following the consummation of the acquisition, Endeavor will pay and expense as part of its operations an aggregate of $2.5 million of cash bonuses to existing American Apparel employees. See the section entitled “The Acquisition Agreement—Acquisition Consideration.”

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, all cash proceeds maintained in Endeavor’s trust fund account will be transferred into the cash operating account of American Apparel. Accordingly, since this excess cash balance is required to be reclassified out of the trust fund and into an operating cash account the dividend income earned from the trust fund investments will be eliminated. No pro forma adjustment was made to reflect the elimination of the historical dividend.

Commensurate with the closing of the transaction, the common stock subject to possible conversion must either be redeemed or converted into permanent equity. As a result, the accretion of the dividend income attributable to the trust fund would be eliminated effective with the acquisition. No pro forma adjustment was made to eliminate the accretion for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Mr. Charney received a management fee aggregating $2,721. Effective with the closing of the acquisition, Mr. Charney will no longer receive a management fee as compensation. Concurrent with the acquisition closing, Mr. Charney will enter into a three year employment agreement that provides an annual salary of $750. He would also be entitled to an annual performance bonus of 150% of base salary upon achievement of annual goals to be set by a compensation committee subsequent to the acquisition and a long-term performance bonus of 300% of base salary upon achievement of three-year goals to be set by a compensation committee subsequent to the acquisition. No pro forma adjustment was made these items.

In the judgment of Endeavor’s board of directors, the change of Endeavor’s corporate name is desirable to reflect Endeavor’s acquisition of American Apparel . The American Apparel name has been a recognized name in retail clothing industry for several years and has meaningful brand identity.

The approval of the name change amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Endeavor common stock on the record date.

Stockholders will not be required to exchange outstanding stock certificates for new stock certificates if the amendment is adopted.

ENDEAVOR’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ENDEAVOR’S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE NAME CHANGE AMENDMENT. THE ACQUISITION PROPOSAL WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED IF THE NAME CHANGE AMENDMENT IS NOT APPROVED.

CAPITALIZATION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, we will increase the number of authorized shares of Endeavor common stock from 75,000,000 to 120,000,000 upon consummation of the acquisition. The acquisition will not be consummated unless the proposal to increase Endeavor’s capitalization is approved at the meeting. If the acquisition proposal is not approved, the capitalization amendment will not be presented at the meeting.

In the judgment of Endeavor’s board of directors, the increase in Endeavor’s capitalization is desirable and in Endeavor’s stockholders’ best interests. Currently, we have 19,910,745 shares of Endeavor’s common stock outstanding and we will be issuing an additional 37,258,065 shares of common stock upon consummation of the acquisition. Additionally, we have reserved 16,160,745 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants and 700,000 shares issuable upon exercise of the unit purchase option (and the warrants included therein) issued in Endeavor’s IPO. We will also need to reserve 7,710,000 shares of common stock in connection with Endeavor’s performance equity plan proposal discussed below. The authorization of additional shares of common stock will enable us to have the flexibility to authorize the issuance of shares of common stock in the future for financing Endeavor’s business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. As of the date of this proxy statement, Endeavor has no agreements or understandings with respect to any such financing, acquisition, strategic partnership, alliance, dividend or split.

While the board of Endeavor believes it in the best interest of Endeavor and its stockholders to increase Endeavor’s operating flexibility by increasing the amounts of its available capitalization, it should be noted that if the capitalization amendment proposal is approved, Endeavor will have a significant number of shares of capital stock available for use and unreserved for a specific purpose. This will enable the board of directors of Endeavor to issue a significant number of shares of common stock in their discretion without stockholder approval. Any such issuance could have a material dilutive effect on the then existing holders of Endeavor common stock. In addition, the board could utilize the available and unreserved common stock to prevent or discourage parties from seeking to acquire Endeavor or its common stock, including in a tender offer or other takeover bid that might otherwise enhance the value of the holdings of Endeavor stockholders.

The approval of the capitalization amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Endeavor common stock on the record date.

ENDEAVOR’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ENDEAVOR’S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE CAPITALIZATION AMENDMENT. THE ACQUISITION PROPOSAL WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED IF THE CAPITALIZATION AMENDMENT IS NOT APPROVED.

119

ARTICLE SIXTH AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, we will remove the preamble and sections A through D, inclusive, of Article Sixth of Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation and redesignate section E of Article Sixth as Article Sixth upon consummation of the acquisition. If the acquisition proposal is not approved, the Article Sixth amendment will not be presented at the meeting.

The current Article SIXTH of Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation reads as follows:

SIXTH: The following provisions (A) through (E) shall apply during the period commencing upon the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation and terminating upon the consummation of any “Business Combination,” and may not be amended during the “Target Business Acquisition Period.” A “Business Combination” shall mean the acquisition by the Corporation, whether by merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition or other similar type of transaction, of an operating business (“Target Business”). The “Target Business Acquisition Period” shall mean the period from the effectiveness of the registration statement filed in connection with the Corporation’s initial public offering (“IPO”) up to and including the first to occur of (a) a Business Combination or (b) the Termination Date (defined below).

A. Prior to the consummation of any Business Combination, the Corporation shall submit such Business Combination to its stockholders for approval regardless of whether the Business Combination is of a type which normally would require such stockholder approval under the GCL. In the event that a majority of the IPO Shares (defined below) cast at the meeting to approve the Business Combination are voted for the approval of such Business Combination, the Corporation shall be authorized to consummate the Business Combination; provided that the Corporation shall not consummate any Business Combination if 20% or more in interest of the holders of IPO Shares exercise their conversion rights described in paragraph B below.

B. In the event that a Business Combination is approved in accordance with the above paragraph (A) and is consummated by the Corporation, any stockholder of the Corporation holding shares of Common Stock issued in the IPO (“IPO Shares”) who voted against the Business Combination may, contemporaneously with such vote, demand that the Corporation convert his IPO Shares into cash. If so demanded, the Corporation shall, promptly after consummation of the Business Combination, convert such shares into cash at a per share conversion price equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the amount in the Trust Fund (as defined below), inclusive of any interest thereon, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, by (ii) the total number of IPO Shares. “Trust Fund” shall mean the trust account established by the Corporation at the consummation of its IPO and into which a certain amount of the net proceeds of the IPO are deposited.

C. In the event that the Corporation does not consummate a Business Combination by the later of (i) 18 months after the consummation of the IPO or (ii) 24 months after the consummation of the IPO in the event that either a letter of intent, an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement to complete a Business Combination was executed but was not consummated within such 18 month period (such later date being referred to as the “Termination Date”), the officers of the Corporation shall take all such action necessary to dissolve and liquidate the Corporation as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that the Corporation is so dissolved and liquidated, only the holders of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive liquidating distributions and the Corporation shall pay no liquidating distributions with respect to any other shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

D. A holder of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Fund only in the event of a liquidation of the Corporation or in the event he demands conversion of his shares in accordance with paragraph B, above. In no other circumstances shall a holder of IPO Shares have any right or interest of any kind in or to the Trust Fund.

E. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class A, Class B and Class C. The number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible. At the first election of directors by the incorporator,

120

the incorporator shall elect a Class C director for a term expiring at the Corporation’s third Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Class C director shall then appoint additional Class A, Class B and Class C directors, as necessary. The directors in Class A shall be elected for a term expiring at the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the directors in Class B shall be elected for a term expiring at the second Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the directors in Class C shall be elected for a term expiring at the third Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Commencing at the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and at each annual meeting thereafter, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Except as the GCL may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in the Corporation’s Bylaws), or by the sole remaining director. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

Article SIXTH of Endeavor’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will be restated as follows:

SIXTH: The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class A, Class B and Class C. The number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible. The directors in Class A shall be elected for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders, the directors in Class B shall be elected for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders and the directors in Class C shall be elected for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders. Commencing at the first annual meeting of stockholders, and at each annual meeting thereafter, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Except as the GCL may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in the Corporation’s Bylaws), or by the sole remaining director. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

In the judgment of Endeavor’s board of directors, the Article Sixth amendment is desirable, as sections A through D relate to the operation of Endeavor as a blank check company prior to the consummation of a business combination. Such sections will not be applicable upon consummation of the acquisition.

The approval of the Article Sixth amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Endeavor common stock on the record date.

ENDEAVOR’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ENDEAVOR’S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ARTICLE SIXTH AMENDMENT.

121

2007 PERFORMANCE EQUITY PLAN PROPOSAL

Background

Endeavor’s “2007 Performance Equity Plan” has been approved by Endeavor’s board of directors and will take effect upon consummation of the acquisition, provided that it is approved by the stockholders at the special meeting. We are submitting the plan to Endeavor’s stockholders for their approval in order to comply with American Stock Exchange policy and so that options granted under the plan may qualify for treatment as incentive stock options.

The plan reserves 7,710,000 shares of Endeavor common stock for issuance in accordance with its terms. The purpose of the plan is to enable Endeavor to offer its employees, officers, directors and consultants whose past, present and/or potential contributions to Endeavor have been, are or will be important to the success of Endeavor, an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in Endeavor. The various types of incentive awards that may be provided under the plan will enable Endeavor to respond to changes in compensation practices, tax laws, accounting regulations and the size and diversity of its business. All officers, directors and employees of American Apparel and Endeavor will be eligible to be granted awards under the plan. There are no present plans to make awards under the plan to any person who will be an executive officer or director of Endeavor after the acquisition. However, each non-employee director will receive grants of shares of Endeavor having a value of $75,000 at the closing of the acquisition and each anniversary of service thereafter.

A summary of the principal features of the plan is provided below, but is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the plan, which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex C.

Administration

The plan will be administered by Endeavor’s board or compensation committee thereof. Subject to the provisions of the plan, the board or committee determines, among other things, the persons to whom from time to time awards may be granted, the specific type of awards to be granted, the number of shares subject to each award, share prices, any restrictions or limitations on the awards, and any vesting, exchange, deferral, surrender, cancellation, acceleration, termination, exercise or forfeiture provisions related to the awards.

Stock Subject to the Plan

Shares of stock subject to other awards that are forfeited or terminated will be available for future award grants under the plan. If a holder pays the exercise price of a stock option by surrendering any previously owned shares of common stock or arranges to have the appropriate number of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld to cover the withholding tax liability associated with the stock option exercise, then in the Board’s or the committee’s discretion, the number of shares available under the plan may be increased by the lesser of the number of such surrendered shares and shares used to pay taxes and the number of shares purchased under the stock option.

Under the plan, on a change in the number of shares of Endeavor’s common stock as a result of a dividend on shares of common stock payable in shares of common stock, common stock split or reverse split or other extraordinary or unusual event that results in a change in the shares of common stock as a whole, the board or committee may determine whether the change requires equitably adjusting the terms of the award or the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan.

Eligibility

Endeavor may grant awards under the plan to employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered, or to be able to render, significant services to Endeavor and who are deemed to have

122

contributed, or to have the potential to contribute, to Endeavor’s success. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Endeavor shall not grant to any one holder in any one calendar year awards for more than 200,000 shares in the aggregate.

Types of Awards

Options. The plan provides both for “incentive” stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and for options not qualifying as incentive options, both of which may be granted with any other stock-based award under the plan. The board or committee determines the exercise price per share of common stock purchasable under an incentive or non-qualified stock option, which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value on the day of the grant or, if greater, the par value of a share of common stock. However, the exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a person possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Endeavor’s stock may not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The number of shares covered by incentive stock options that may be exercised by any participant during any calendar year cannot have an aggregate fair market value in excess of $100,000, measured at the date of grant.

An incentive stock option may only be granted within a ten-year period from the date of the consummation of acquisition and may only be exercised within ten years from the date of the grant, or within five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a person who, at the time of the grant, owns common stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Endeavor’s stock. Subject to any limitations or conditions the board or committee may impose, stock options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the term of the stock option by giving written notice of exercise to us specifying the number of shares of common stock to be purchased. The notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, either in cash or, if provided in the agreement, in Endeavor’s securities or any combination of the two.

Generally, stock options granted under the plan may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and all stock options are exercisable during the holder’s lifetime, or in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the holder’s guardian or legal representative. However, a holder, with the approval of the board or committee, may transfer a non-qualified stock option by gift to a family member of the holder, by domestic relations order to a family member of the holder or by transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests are owned by family members of the holder or the holder, in exchange for an interest in that entity.

Generally, if the holder is an employee, no stock options granted under the plan may be exercised by the holder unless he or she is employed by Endeavor or a subsidiary of Endeavor at the time of the exercise and has been so employed continuously from the time the stock options were granted. However, in the event the holder’s employment is terminated due to disability, the holder may still exercise his or her vested stock options for a period of 12 months or such other greater or lesser period as the board or committee may determine, from the date of termination or until the expiration of the stated term of the stock option, whichever period is shorter. Similarly, should a holder die while employed by us or a subsidiary, his or her legal representative or legatee under his or her will may exercise the decedent holder’s vested stock options for a period of 12 months from the date of his or her death, or such other greater or lesser period as the board or committee may determine or until the expiration of the stated term of the stock option, whichever period is shorter. If the holder’s employment is terminated for any reason other than death, disability or normal retirement, the stock option will automatically terminate, except that if the holder’s employment is terminated by us without cause or due to normal retirement, then the portion of any stock option that has vested on the date of termination may be exercised for the lesser of three months after termination of employment, or the balance of the stock option’s term.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Under the plan, Endeavor may grant stock appreciation rights to participants who have been, or are being, granted stock options under the plan as a means of allowing the participants to exercise

123

their stock options without the need to pay the exercise price in cash. In conjunction with non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of the non-qualified stock options. In conjunction with incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of the incentive stock options. A stock appreciation right entitles the holder to receive a number of shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the excess fair market value of one share of common stock over the exercise price of the related stock option, multiplied by the number of shares subject to the stock appreciation rights. The granting of a stock appreciation right will not affect the number of shares of common stock available for awards under the plan. The number of shares available for awards under the plan will, however, be reduced by the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon exercise of the stock option to which the stock appreciation right relates.

Restricted Stock. Under the plan, Endeavor may award shares of restricted stock either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the plan. The board or committee determines the persons to whom grants of restricted stock are made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price if any to be paid for the restricted stock by the person receiving the stock from us, the time or times within which awards of restricted stock may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the restricted stock awards.

Restricted stock awarded under the plan may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, other than to us, during the applicable restriction period. In order to enforce these restrictions, the plan requires that all shares of restricted stock awarded to the holder remain in Endeavor’s physical custody until the restrictions have terminated and all vesting requirements with respect to the restricted stock have been fulfilled. Other than regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as we may designate, pay or distribute, we will retain custody of all distributions made or declared with respect to the restricted stock during the restriction period. A breach of any restriction regarding the restricted stock will cause a forfeiture of the restricted stock and any retained distributions. Except for the foregoing restrictions, the holder will, even during the restriction period, have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to receive and retain all regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as we may designate, pay or distribute on the restricted stock and the right to vote the shares.

Deferred Stock. Under the plan, Endeavor may award shares of deferred stock either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the plan. The board or committee determines the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, deferred stock will be awarded, the number of shares of deferred stock to be awarded to any person, the duration of the period during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the stock will be deferred, and all the other terms and conditions of deferred stock awards.

Deferred stock awards granted under the plan may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of other than to Endeavor during the applicable deferral period. The holder shall not have any rights of a stockholder until the expiration of the applicable deferral period and the issuance and delivery of the certificates representing the common stock. The holder may request to defer the receipt of a deferred stock award for an additional specified period or until a specified event. This request must generally be made at least one year prior to the expiration of the deferral period for the deferred stock award.

Stock Reload Options. Under the plan, Endeavor may grant stock reload options to a holder who tenders shares of common stock to pay the exercise price of a stock option or arranges to have a portion of the shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld to pay the applicable withholding taxes. A stock reload option permits a holder who exercises a stock option by delivering stock owned by the holder for a minimum of six months to receive a new stock option at the current market price for the same number of shares delivered to exercise the option. The board or committee determines the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations of the stock reload options. The exercise price of stock reload options shall be the fair market value as of the date of exercise of the underlying option. Unless otherwise determined, a stock reload option may be exercised commencing one year after it is granted and expires on the expiration date of the underlying option.

124

Other Stock-Based Awards. Under the plan, Endeavor may grant other stock-based awards, subject to limitations under applicable law, that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, shares of common stock, as deemed consistent with the purposes of the plan. These other stock-based awards may be in the form of purchase rights, shares of common stock awarded that are not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debentures or other rights convertible into shares of common stock and awards valued by reference to the value of securities of, or the performance of, one of Endeavor’s subsidiaries. These other stock-based awards may be awarded either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with any other awards under the plan or any of Endeavor’s other plans.

Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability. Unless otherwise provided in the grant of an award, if any “person,” as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), is or becomes the “beneficial owner,” as referred in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, directly or indirectly, of Endeavor’s securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of Endeavor’s then outstanding voting securities in one or more transactions, and Endeavor’s board of directors does not authorize or approve the acquisition, then the vesting periods with respect to awards granted and outstanding under the plan will be accelerated and will immediately vest, and each participant of an award will have the immediate right to purchase and receive all shares of Endeavor’s common stock subject to the award in accordance with the terms set forth in the plan and in the corresponding award agreements.

Unless otherwise provided in the grant of an award, the compensation committee may, in the event of an acquisition of substantially all of Endeavor’s assets or at least 50% of the combined voting power of Endeavor’s then outstanding securities in one or more transactions, including by way of merger or reorganization, which has been approved by Endeavor’s board of directors, accelerate the vesting of any and all awards granted and outstanding under the plan.

Repurchases. Unless otherwise provided in the grant of an award, the compensation committee may, in the event of an acquisition of substantially all of Endeavor’s assets or at least 50% of the combined voting power of Endeavor’s then outstanding securities in one or more transactions, including by way of merger or reorganization, which has been approved by Endeavor’s board of directors, require a holder of any award granted under the plan to relinquish the award to Endeavor upon payment by Endeavor to the holder of cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of the award or $0.01 per share for awards that are out-of-the money.

Competition; Solicitation of Customers and Employees; Disclosure of Confidential Information

If a holder’s employment with Endeavor or a subsidiary of Endeavor is terminated for any reason whatsoever and within 12 months after the date of termination, the holder either:

•

accepts employment with any competitor of, or otherwise engages in competition with, Endeavor,

•

solicits any of Endeavor’s customers or employees to do business with or render services to the holder or any business with which the holder becomes affiliated or to which the holder renders services, or

•

uses or discloses to anyone outside Endeavor any of Endeavor’s confidential information or material in violation of Endeavor’s policies or any agreement between Endeavor and the holder,

the board or the committee may require the holder to return to Endeavor the economic value of any award that was realized or obtained by the holder at any time during the period beginning on the date that is 12 months prior to the date the holder’s employment with Endeavor is terminated.

Withholding Taxes

Upon the exercise of any award granted under the plan, the holder may be required to remit to Endeavor an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to delivery of any certificate or certificates for shares of common stock.

125

Term and Amendments

Unless terminated by the board, the plan shall continue to remain effective until no further awards may be granted and all awards granted under the plan are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of incentive stock options may be made only until ten years from the date of the consummation of the acquisition. The board may at any time, and from time to time, amend the plan, provided that no amendment will be made that would impair the rights of a holder under any agreement entered into pursuant to the plan without the holder’s consent.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion of the federal income tax consequences of participation in the plan is only a summary of the general rules applicable to the grant and exercise of stock options and other awards and does not give specific details or cover, among other things, state, local and foreign tax treatment of participation in the plan. The information contained in this section is based on present law and regulations, which are subject to being changed prospectively or retroactively.

Incentive stock options. Participants will recognize no taxable income upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. The participant will realize no taxable income when the incentive stock option is exercised if the participant has been an employee of Endeavor or any of Endeavor’s subsidiaries at all times from the date of the grant until three months before the date of exercise, one year if the participant is disabled. The excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of an incentive stock option over the exercise price will be treated as an item of adjustment for a participant’s taxable year in which the exercise occurs and may result in an alternative minimum tax liability for the participant. Endeavor will not qualify for any deduction in connection with the grant or exercise of incentive stock options. Upon a disposition of the shares after the later of two years from the date of grant or one year after the transfer of the shares to a participant, the participant will recognize the difference, if any, between the amount realized and the exercise price as long-term capital gain or long-term capital loss, as the case may be, if the shares are capital assets.

If common stock acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option is disposed of prior to the expiration of the holding periods described above: the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in the taxable year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the lesser of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise or the amount realized on the disposition of the shares, over the exercise price paid for the shares; and Endeavor will qualify for a deduction equal to any amount recognized, subject to the limitation that the compensation be reasonable.

In the case of a disposition of shares earlier than two years from the date of the grant or in the same taxable year as the exercise, where the amount realized on the disposition is less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, there will be no adjustment since the amount treated as an item of adjustment, for alternative minimum tax purposes, is limited to the excess of the amount realized on the disposition over the exercise price, which is the same amount included in regular taxable income.

Non-incentive stock options.

With respect to non-incentive stock options:

•

upon grant of the stock option, the participant will recognize no income provided that the exercise price was not less than the fair market value of Endeavor’s common stock on the date of grant;

•

upon exercise of the stock option, if the shares of common stock are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and Endeavor will qualify for a deduction in the same amount, subject to the requirement that the compensation be reasonable; and

126

•

Endeavor will be required to comply with applicable federal income tax withholding requirements with respect to the amount of ordinary compensation income recognized by the participant.

On a disposition of the shares, the participant will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the sum of the exercise price and the ordinary compensation income recognized. The gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss if the shares are capital assets and as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending upon the length of time that the participant held the shares.

If the shares acquired upon exercise of a non-incentive stock option are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time when the substantial risk of forfeiture is removed, unless the participant timely files under Section 83(b) of the Code to elect to be taxed on the receipt of shares, and Endeavor will qualify for a corresponding deduction at that time. The amount of ordinary income will be equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time the income is recognized over the amount, if any, paid for the shares.

Stock appreciation rights. Upon the grant of a stock appreciation right, the participant recognizes no taxable income and Endeavor receives no deduction. The participant recognizes ordinary income and Endeavor receives a deduction at the time of exercise equal to the cash and fair market value of common stock payable upon the exercise.

Restricted stock. A participant who receives restricted stock will recognize no income on the grant of the restricted stock and Endeavor will not qualify for any deduction. At the time the restricted stock is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, a participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the restricted stock at the time the restriction lapses over the consideration paid for the restricted stock. A participant’s shares are treated as being subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture so long as his or her sale of the shares at a profit could subject him or her to a suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The holding period to determine whether the participant has long-term or short-term capital gain or loss begins when the restriction period expires, and the tax basis for the shares will generally be the fair market value of the shares on this date.

A participant may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code, within 30 days of the transfer of the restricted stock, to recognize ordinary compensation income on the date of transfer in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value on the date of transfer of the shares of restricted stock, as determined without regard to the restrictions, over the consideration paid for the restricted stock. If a participant makes an election and thereafter forfeits the shares, no ordinary loss deduction will be allowed. The forfeiture will be treated as a sale or exchange upon which there is realized loss equal to the excess, if any, of the consideration paid for the shares over the amount realized on such forfeiture. The loss will be a capital loss if the shares are capital assets. If a participant makes an election under Section 83(b), the holding period will commence on the day after the date of transfer and the tax basis will equal the fair market value of shares, as determined without regard to the restrictions, on the date of transfer.

On a disposition of the shares, a participant will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the tax basis for the shares.

Whether or not the participant makes an election under Section 83(b), Endeavor generally will qualify for a deduction, subject to the reasonableness of compensation limitation, equal to the amount that is taxable as ordinary income to the participant, in the taxable year in which the income is included in the participant’s gross income. The income recognized by the participant will be subject to applicable withholding tax requirements.

Dividends paid on restricted stock that is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture generally will be treated as compensation that is taxable as ordinary compensation income to the participant and will be deductible by Endeavor, subject to the reasonableness limitation. If, however, the participant makes a Section 83(b) election,

127

the dividends will be treated as dividends and taxable as ordinary income to the participant, but will not be deductible by Endeavor.

Deferred stock. A participant who receives an award of deferred stock will recognize no income on the grant of the award. However, he or she will recognize ordinary compensation income on the transfer of the deferred stock, or the later lapse of a substantial risk of forfeiture to which the deferred stock is subject, if the participant does not make a Section 83(b) election, in accordance with the same rules as discussed above under the caption “Restricted Stock.”

Other stock-based awards. The federal income tax treatment of other stock-based awards will depend on the nature and restrictions applicable to the award.

Certain Awards Deferring or Accelerating the Receipt of Compensation. Section 409A of the Code, enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, imposes certain new requirements applicable to “nonqualified deferred compensation plans.” If a nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A fails to meet, or is not operated in accordance with, these new requirements, then all compensation deferred under the plan may become immediately taxable. Stock appreciation rights and deferred stock awards that may be granted under the plan may constitute deferred compensation subject to the Section 409A requirements. It is Endeavor’s intention that any award agreement governing awards subject to Section 409A will comply with these new rules.

Recommendation and Vote Required

Approval of Endeavor’s performance equity plan will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Endeavor’s common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting.

ENDEAVORS BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ENDEAVOR’S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE 2007 PERFORMANCE EQUITY PLAN.

128

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The adjournment proposal allows Endeavor’s board of directors to submit a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the consummation of the acquisition. In no event will Endeavor solicit proxies to adjourn the special meeting or consummate the acquisition beyond the date by which it may properly do so under its certificate of incorporation and Delaware law.

Consequences if Adjournment Proposal Is Not Approved

If an adjournment proposal is presented to the meeting and is not approved by the stockholders, Endeavor’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the consummation of the acquisition. In such event, Endeavor will be required to liquidate.

Required Vote

Adoption of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Endeavor’s common stock represented in person or by proxy at the meeting. Adoption of the adjournment proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF AN ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL, IF PRESENTED.

OTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO ENDEAVOR

Business of Endeavor

Endeavor was formed on July 22, 2005, to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an unidentified operating business. Prior to executing the Acquisition Agreement with American Apparel, Endeavor’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of its IPO and the evaluation of possible business combinations.

Offering Proceeds Held in Trust

Endeavor consummated its IPO on December 21, 2005. The net proceeds of the offering, including the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, and after payment of underwriting discounts and expenses were approximately $122 million. Of that amount, approximately $121 million was placed in the trust account and invested in government securities. The remaining proceeds have been used by Endeavor in its pursuit of a business combination. The “Use of Proceeds” section of Endeavor’s prospectus in connection with its IPO provided Endeavor’s estimate and projected allocation of how the $1,385,000 held outside of the trust would be used in connection with Endeavor’s search for a potential business combination target and operations and Exchange Act reporting prior to the consummation of a business combination. This estimate included approximately $180,000 payable for office space and administrative fees, $300,000 for due diligence of prospective target businesses, $300,000 related to the expense of a business combination and $80,000 for legal and accounting expenses related to Exchange Act reporting. As a result of the large number of target businesses examined by Endeavor and the amount of time that elapsed prior to targeting and entering into a definitive Acquisition Agreement with American Apparel, some of these estimates were exceeded. Specifically, through September 30, 2007, Endeavor has expended approximately $431,314 on due diligence of prospective target businesses, including expenses related to the due diligence conducted with respect to American Apparel throughout the acquisition process. Additionally, legal and accounting expenses related to Exchange Act reporting through September 30, 2007 of $244,615 were higher than projected.

Since Endeavor’s expenditures have exceeded amounts raised in the IPO that are held outside of the trust account, Messrs. Ledecky and Watson have made loans to Endeavor to fund its working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2007, such loans were approximately $575,000 in the aggregate. All such loans will be repaid at closing, including amounts, if any, advanced after September 30, 2007. Each of Messrs. Ledecky and Watson has signed waivers with respect to these loans by which he has waived his right to proceed against any funds held in trust. As of September 30, 2007, Endeavor also owed an aggregate of approximately $403,900 to non-audit related professionals and service providers, all of whom have executed waivers with respect to their right to proceed against the trust fund. Endeavor also owes approximately $25,000 in Delaware franchise taxes, which are payable in due course and for which no waiver may be obtained.

The trust account will not be released until the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the liquidation of Endeavor. The trust account contained approximately $128,374,498 as of September 30, 2007.

If the acquisition with American Apparel is consummated, the trust account will be released to Endeavor and used to pay various losses and expenses and other payments required in connection with the acquisition including:

•

amounts payable to Mr. Lim for direct purchase by Endeavor of his equity ownership of American Apparel;

•

amounts owed to stockholders of Endeavor who do not approve the acquisition and elect to convert their shares of common stock into their pro rata share of the trust account;

•

deferred commissions of $1.825 million payable to Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Endeavor’s underwriter in connection with its December 2005 IPO;

•

amounts to repay certain loans made to American Apparel by its stockholders, officers and affiliates;

•

professional fees; and

•

other transaction costs

130

The remaining proceeds could potentially be used to fund working capital increases going forward; acquire other businesses; pay dividends; or repurchase Endeavor common stock or warrants. Proceeds also could be used to pay off other existing debt of American Apparel, although none of such proceeds are currently allocated for this purpose. Even if the existing other debt is paid down, it is likely that American Apparel will continue to maintain available lines of credit on an asset-backed basis in order to fund working capital needs in the future. None of these funds have been allocated for the repayment of other debt.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

Pursuant to Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation, the initial target business that Endeavor acquires must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of Endeavor’s net assets at the time of such acquisition. Endeavor’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with its acquisition of American Apparel.

Stockholder Approval of Business Combination

The approval of the acquisition proposal will require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Endeavor common stock sold in Endeavor’s IPO that are cast at the special meeting. If the holders of 20% or more of the shares of the common stock issued in Endeavor’s IPO both vote against the acquisition proposal and properly demand that Endeavor convert their shares into a pro rata portion of Endeavor’s trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated date of the consummation of the acquisition, then the acquisition will not be consummated and Endeavor will be forced to liquidate. The Endeavor Inside Stockholders have agreed to vote their common stock they purchased prior to the IPO on the acquisition proposal in accordance with the vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Endeavor’s common stock. The Endeavor Inside Stockholders also have indicated that they intend to vote their Original Shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. These Endeavor Inside Stockholders have also indicated they intend to vote any shares they acquired after the IPO for all of the proposals. As of the record date, the Endeavor Inside Stockholders have not acquired any additional shares of Endeavor common stock since the IPO.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

Endeavor’s certificate of incorporation provides for mandatory liquidation of Endeavor in the event that Endeavor does not consummate a business combination within 18 months from the date of consummation of its IPO, or 24 months from the consummation of the IPO if certain extension criteria have been satisfied. Such dates are June 21, 2007 and December 21, 2007, respectively. Endeavor signed a letter of intent with American Apparel on November 22, 2006 and signed a definitive acquisition agreement with American Apparel on December 18, 2006. As a result of having signed the letter of intent, Endeavor satisfied the extension criteria and now has until December 21, 2007 to complete the acquisition. However, the Acquisition Agreement has a termination date of December 15, 2007.

If Endeavor does not complete the acquisition by December 15, 2007, Endeavor will be dissolved pursuant to Section 275 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In connection with such dissolution, the expected procedures of which are set forth below, Endeavor will distribute to all of its public stockholders, in proportion to their respective equity interests, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust account, inclusive of any interest, plus remaining assets. The Endeavor Inside Stockholders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to shares of common stock owned by them immediately prior to the IPO. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to Endeavor’s warrants.

It is anticipated that, if Endeavor is unable to complete the business combination with American Apparel, the following will occur:

•

131

prepared a preliminary proxy statement setting out such plan of dissolution and liquidation as well as the board’s recommendation of such plan;

•

Endeavor will promptly file a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

•

if the Securities and Exchange Commission does not review the preliminary proxy statement, then, 10 days following the filing of such preliminary proxy statement, Endeavor will mail the definitive proxy statement to its stockholders, and 10 to 20 days following the mailing of such definitive proxy statement, Endeavor will convene a meeting of its stockholders, at which they will vote on the plan of dissolution and liquidation; and

•

if the Securities and Exchange Commission does review the preliminary proxy statement, Endeavor currently estimates that it would receive their comments 30 days after the filing of such proxy statement. Endeavor would then mail the definitive proxy statement to its stockholders following the conclusion of the comment and review process (the length of which cannot be predicted with any certainty, and which may be substantial) and Endeavor will convene a meeting of its stockholders at which they will vote on the plan of dissolution and liquidation.

Endeavor expects that all costs associated with the implementation and completion of Endeavor’s plan of dissolution and liquidation will be funded by any remaining net assets not held in the trust account, although Endeavor cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. If such funds are insufficient, it is anticipated that Endeavor’s management will advance the funds necessary to complete such dissolution and liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $50,000).

Endeavor will not liquidate the trust account unless and until its stockholders approve such plan of dissolution and liquidation. Accordingly, the foregoing procedures may result in substantial delays in Endeavor’s liquidation and the distribution to its public stockholders of the funds in the trust account and any remaining net assets as part of Endeavor’s plan of dissolution and liquidation.

If Endeavor were to expend all of the net proceeds of the IPO, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, the liquidation price per IPO Share as of November 1, 2007, would be approximately $7.97, or $0.03 less than the per-unit offering price of $8.00 in Endeavor’s IPO. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of Endeavor’s creditors and there is no assurance that the actual per share liquidation price will not be less than $7.97, due to those claims. If Endeavor liquidates prior to the consummation of a business combination, Mr. Watson and Mr. Ledecky, chairman of the board and president, respectively, of Endeavor will be personally liable to pay debts and obligations to vendors and other entities that are owed money by Endeavor for services rendered or products sold to Endeavor, or to any target business, to the extent such creditors bring claims that would otherwise require payment from moneys in the trust account. There is no assurance, however, that they would be able to satisfy those obligations. However, because Endeavor was obligated to have, and subsequently did have, all vendors and service providers that we engaged and owe money to, and the prospective target businesses we had negotiated with, waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have had in or to any monies held in the trust account, Endeavor believes the likelihood of Messrs. Watson and Ledecky having to pay any such debts and obligations is minimal. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the trust fund, if Endeavor liquidates, will not be less than $7.97, plus interest, then held in the trust fund due to claims of creditors.

Additionally, if Endeavor is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against Endeavor that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in the bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Endeavor’s stockholders. Also, in any such case, any distributions received by stockholders in Endeavor’s dissolution might be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Endeavor’s stockholders in the dissolution. Furthermore, because Endeavor

132

intends to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to its public stockholders as soon as possible after dissolution, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to the public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from Endeavor’s assets. In addition, Endeavor’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Endeavor’s creditors or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and Endeavor’s company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors or complying with certain provisions of the DGCL with respect to the dissolution and liquidation. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against Endeavor for these reasons.

To the extent any bankruptcy or other claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return to Endeavor’s public stockholders at least $7.97 per share.

Under Sections 280 through 282 of the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. Pursuant to Section 280, if the corporation complies with certain procedures intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. Although Endeavor will seek stockholder approval to liquidate the trust account to its public stockholders as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation, Endeavor will seek to conclude this process as soon as possible and as a result do not intend to comply with those procedures. Because we will not be complying with the foregoing provisions, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires Endeavor to adopt a plan that will provide for Endeavor’s payment, based on facts known to it at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years. However, because Endeavor is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and its operations have been limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from Endeavor’s vendors and service providers to which Endeavor owes money and potential target businesses, from all of which Endeavor has received agreements waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account. As a result, the claims that could be made against Endeavor will be significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim would result in any liability extending to the trust is remote. Nevertheless, such agreements may or may not be enforceable. As such, Endeavor’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution and any liability of Endeavor’s stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such dissolution. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from Endeavor’s stockholders amounts owed to them by Endeavor.

Facilities

Endeavor maintains executive offices at 590 Madison Avenue, 21^st Floor, New York, New York, 10022. From inception through January 1, 2007, Endeavor paid $7,500 per month to Ironbound Partners Fund, LLC, for general and administrative services. Ironbound is an affiliate of Jonathan Ledecky, Endeavor’s president and secretary. This arrangement ceased as of January 1, 2007. From January 1, 2007 through April 2007, Endeavor paid a monthly rental of $3,000 for office space to an unaffiliated party. Endeavor was not required to pay any rent for space during from May 2007 through October 2007. Commencing November 1, 2007 Endeavor is required to pay a monthly rental of $2,500 to another unaffiliated party for office space for the benefit of their consultants. Endeavor believes, based on rents and fees for similar services in the New York, New York area, that the fees charged to it are at least as favorable as Endeavor could have obtained from other persons. Endeavor considers its current office space adequate for current operations.

133

Employees

Endeavor has two executive officers, each of whom also serves on Endeavor’s board of directors. These individuals are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week and devote only as much time as they deem necessary to Endeavor’s affairs. Endeavor does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of the acquisition.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

Endeavor has registered its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Endeavor’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by Endeavor’s independent accountants. Endeavor has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 10-K covering the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and its most recent Form 10-Q covering the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Legal Proceedings

There are no legal proceedings pending against Endeavor.

Plan of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Endeavor’s audited December 31, 2006 and unaudited September 30, 2007 financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Endeavor was formed on July 22, 2005 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business. Endeavor intends to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of its recently completed public offering, its capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in effecting a business combination.

Endeavor consummated its initial public offering on December 21, 2005. All activity from July 22, 2005 through December 21, 2005 related to Endeavor’s formation and its initial public offering. Since December 21, 2005, Endeavor has been searching for prospective target businesses to acquire.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Endeavor had net income of $2,577,913 consisting of $3,264,238 of dividend and interest income offset by $686,325 of general, selling and administrative expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Endeavor had net income of $2,192,356 consisting of $2,897,916 of dividend and interest income offset by $705,560 of general, selling and administrative expenses.

For the period from July 22, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2007, Endeavor had net income of $5,502,364 consisting of $7,356,450 of dividend and interest income offset by $1,854,086 of general, selling and administrative expenses.

Upon consummation of Endeavor’s initial public offering (“Offering”), $121,030,234 of the net proceeds was deposited in trust, with the remaining net proceeds of $1,306,233 becoming available to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Endeavor has used substantially all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering not held in trust to identify and evaluate prospective acquisition candidates, select the target business, and structure, negotiate and consummate the business combination. Endeavor intends to utilize our cash, including the funds held in the trust fund, capital stock, debt or a combination of the foregoing to effect a business combination. To the extent that

134

Endeavor’s capital stock or debt securities are used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the proceeds held in the trust fund as well as any other available cash will be used to finance the operations of the target business.

At September 30, 2007, Endeavor had current assets (excluding cash held in the trust fund) of $129,483 and current liabilities of $1,074,241, leaving Endeavor with working capital deficit of $944,758, net of $128,374,498 of cash held in trust.

As indicated in Endeavor’s accompanying financial statements, such financial statements have been prepared assuming that Endeavor will continue as a going concern. As discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement, Endeavor is required to consummate a business combination by December 21, 2007. The possibility that the acquisition of American Apparel will not be consummated raises substantial doubt about Endeavor’s ability to continue as a going concern, and the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Endeavor reimburses its officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Endeavor’s behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. From Endeavor’s inception in July 2005, through the record date, Endeavor has reimbursed its officers and directors in the aggregate amount of approximately $254,000 for expense incurred by them on Endeavor’s behalf.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the period from July 22, 2005 (inception) through September 30, 2007, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on Endeavor’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to Endeavor.

Results of Operations

For the period from July 22, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2007, Endeavor had a net income of $5,502,364 consisting of $7,356,450 of dividend and interest income offset by $1,854,086 of general, selling and administrative expenses.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Endeavor consummated its initial public offering on December 21, 2005. On January 5, 2006, Endeavor consummated the closing of an additional 1,160,745 units which were subject to the over-allotment option. Gross proceeds from our initial public offering, including the over-allotment option, were $129,285,959. Endeavor paid a total of $6,205,726 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $743,766 for other costs and expenses related to the offering and the over-allotment option. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the offering were $122,336,467, of which $121,030,234 was deposited into the Trust Account and the remaining proceeds of $1,306,233 became

136

available to be used to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. Endeavor intends to use substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering to acquire a target business, including identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination. Through September 30, 2007, $431,314 of expenses were incurred to acquire a target business. To the extent that Endeavor’s capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the proceeds held in the trust fund as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used to finance the operations of the target business. At September 30, 2007, Endeavor had current assets (excluding cash held in the Trust Account) of $129,483 and current liabilities of $1,074,241, leaving us with negative working capital of $944,758, net of $128,374,498 which is cash held in the Trust Account. Our officers have agreed to advance us enough capital in order to consummate the acquisition of American Apparel, Inc. and its affiliated companies (“American Apparel”) described below.

In connection with Endeavor’s initial public offering, we issued an option, for $100, to Ladenburg Thalmann to purchase 350,000 units at an exercise price of $10.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant. We accounted for the fair value of the option, inclusive of the receipt of the $100 cash payment, as an expense of the public offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. We estimated that the fair value of this option was approximately $703,500 ($2.01 per unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the option granted to Ladenburg Thalmann was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 52.7%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 4.43%, (3) expected life of two years and 30 days and (4) dividend rate of zero. The option may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the option (the difference between the exercise prices of the option and the underlying warrants and the market price of the units and underlying securities) to exercise the option without the payment of any cash.

On March 8, 2007, Endeavor borrowed funds from two of its officers. Endeavor issued two promissory notes in the amount of $75,000 each. The principal balance of these notes shall be repayable on the earlier of the consummation of a business combination with American Apparel or upon demand by the officers. These promissory notes are noninterest bearing.

On April 30, 2007, Endeavor borrowed an additional $87,500 from both Jonathan J. Ledecky and Eric J. Watson, our Chairman of the Board and Treasurer. These promissory notes are non interest bearing and are payable on demand or at the consummation of a business combination with American Apparel.

On August 8, 2007, Endeavor borrowed an additional $75,000 from both Jonathan J. Ledecky and Eric J. Watson, our Chairman of the Board and Treasurer. These promissory notes are non interest bearing and are payable on demand or at the consummation of a business combination with American Apparel.

On October 17, 2007, Endeavor borrowed an additional $50,000 from Jonathan J. Ledecky and Eric J. Watson, our Chairman of the Board and Treasurer. These promissory notes are non-interest bearing and are payable on demand or at the consummation of a business combination with American Apparel.

Endeavor entered into a consulting agreement with a consultant on July 17, 2006 to perform services through December 15, 2007. We pay the consultant a fee of $125,000 per year and we will issue to the consultant 12,500 shares of our common stock upon the closing of the initial business combination. We will also issue to the consultant an additional 12,500 shares of our common stock six months after closing of the initial business combination by us.

In December 2006, we retained the services of ICR, LLC (“ICR”) as an investor relations consultant to assist us in developing and disseminating investor presentations and communications. We pay ICR a fee of $12,000 per month, plus expenses, and will issue ICR 9,700 shares of Endeavor’s common stock upon consummation of the acquisition of American Apparel.

137

On December 18, 2006, we entered into an Agreement by which Endeavor will acquire American Apparel. In exchange for all of the securities of the American Apparel companies outstanding immediately prior to the acquisition, Endeavor will issue 32,258,065 Transaction Shares, subject to downward adjustment based on American Apparel’s net debt immediately prior to closing of the acquisition. 8,064,516 of the Transaction Shares will be placed into escrow to secure our indemnity rights under the Agreement. The Agreement also provides for a $2,500,000 cash pool to be available for the granting of bonuses to management employees immediately following the closing of the acquisition. American Apparel also will be permitted to repay at the closing of the acquisition loans made to American Apparel by certain of its directors, officers and employees in an aggregate amount of approximately $15,000,000. Endeavor also will adopt a performance equity plan under which an aggregate of approximately 2,710,000 shares will be available for grant under options and restricted stock awards to employees.

On November 6, 2007, Endeavor entered into an amended Acquisition Agreement (“Amended Agreement”) under which we increased the number of Transaction Shares we will issue at the closing of the acquisition from 32,258,065 to 37,258,065 while at the same time increasing the level of American Apparel’s net debt above which there would be a downward adjustment in the number of shares issued at the closing of the acquisition from $110 million to $150 million. The Amended Agreement also increased the size of the 2007 performance equity plan from 2,710,000 shares to 7,710,000 shares and provides that stock awards for an aggregate of 2,710,000 shares to 7,710,000 shares and provides that stock awards for an aggregate of 2,710,000 shares would be allocated and issued thereunder after consummation of the closing and upon filing of an effective registration statement.

Endeavor was formed on July 22, 2005 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our recently completed public offering, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in effecting a business combination.

Endeavor consummated our initial public offering on December 21, 2005. All activity from July 22, 2005 through December 21, 2005 related to our formation and our initial public offering. Since December 21, 2005, we have been searching for prospective target businesses to acquire.

Endeavor had net income of $2,870,136 for the year ended December 31, 2006 consisting of $3,974,013 of dividend income, $1,101,412 of general, selling and administrative expenses, and $2,465 of income tax expense.

Endeavor had net income of $2,924,451 for the period July 22, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2006 consisting of $4,092,212 of dividend income, $1,164,645 of general, selling and administrative expenses and $3,116 of income tax expense.

Endeavor had net income of $54,315 for the fiscal period July 22, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005.

Upon consummation of Endeavor’s initial public offering (“Offering”), $121,030,234 of the net proceeds was deposited in trust, with the remaining net proceeds of $1,316,746 becoming available to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. We have used substantially all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering not held in trust to identify and evaluate prospective acquisition candidates, select the target business, and structure, negotiate and consummate the business combination. We intend to utilize our cash, including the funds held in the trust fund, capital stock, debt or a combination of the foregoing to effect a business combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt securities are used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the

139

proceeds held in the trust fund as well as any other available cash will be used to finance the operations of the target business. At December 31, 2006, we had current assets (excluding cash held in the trust fund) of $283,265 and current liabilities of $260,076, leaving us with working capital of $23,189, net of $125,113,007 which is cash held in trust. Our officers have agreed to advance us enough capital in order to consummate the acquisition of American Apparel described below.

The “Use of Proceeds” section of Endeavor’s prospectus in connection with its IPO provided the estimate and projected allocation of how the $1,385,000 held outside of the trust would be used in connection with Endeavor’s search for a potential business combination target and operations and Exchange Act reporting prior to the consummation of a business combination. This estimate included approximately $180,000 payable for office space and administrative fees, $300,000 for due diligence of prospective target businesses, $300,000 related to the expense of a business combination and $80,000 for legal and accounting expenses related to Exchange Act reporting. As a result of the large number of target businesses examined by Endeavor and the amount of time that elapsed prior to targeting and entering into a definitive Acquisition Agreement with American Apparel, Endeavor expects that some of these estimates will be exceeded. Additionally, legal and accounting expenses related to Exchange Act reporting through December 31, 2006 of $156,650 were higher than projected.

Endeavor’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for Endeavor’s mandatory liquidation in the event that it does not consummate a business combination within 18 months from the date of the consummation of the Offering (July 21, 2007), or 24 months from the consummation of the Offering (December 21, 2007) if certain extension criteria have been satisfied. In the event of liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the Offering price per share in the Offering due to costs related to the Offering and since no value would be attributed to the warrants contained in the units sold. Messrs. Watson and Ledecky will be personally liable under certain circumstances (for example, if a vendor successfully makes a claim against funds in the trust account) to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not further reduced by the claims of prospective target businesses and vendors or other entities that are owed money by Endeavor for services rendered or products sold to Endeavor. As of December 31, 2006, the estimated value of Mr. Watson’s and Mr. Ledecky’s obligation is $25,639, based on cash held outside the trust account of approximately $400,910 and approximately $426,539 owed to parties who have not waived claims against the trust account.

The mandatory liquidation described above raises substantial doubt about the Endeavor’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Endeavor is obligated to pay to Ironbound Partners a monthly fee of $7,500 for general and administrative services.

On December 18, 2006, Endeavor entered into an Agreement by which it will acquire American Apparel. In exchange for all of the securities of the American Apparel companies outstanding immediately prior to the acquisition, Endeavor will issue 32,258,065 Transaction Shares, subject to downward adjustment based on American Apparel’s net debt immediately prior to closing of the acquisition. 8,064,516 of the Transaction Shares will be placed into escrow to secure Endeavor’s indemnity rights under the Agreement. The Agreement also provides for a $2,500,000 cash pool to be available for the granting of bonuses to management employees immediately following the closing of the acquisition. American Apparel also will be permitted to repay at the closing of the acquisition loans made to American Apparel by certain of its directors, officers and employees in an aggregate amount of approximately $5,000,000. Endeavor also will adopt a performance equity plan under which an aggregate of approximately 2,700,000 shares will be available for grant under options and restricted stock awards to employees.

In connection with Endeavor’s initial public offering, it issued an option, for $100, to Ladenburg Thalmann to purchase 350,000 Units at an exercise price of $10.00 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one share of

140

common stock and one warrant. Endeavor accounted for the fair value of the option, inclusive of the receipt of the $100 cash payment, as an expense of the public offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. Endeavor estimated that the fair value of this option was approximately $703,500 ($2.01 per Unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the option granted to Ladenburg Thalmann was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 52.7%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 4.43%, (3) expected life of two years and 30 days and (4) dividend rate of zero. The option may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the option (the difference between the exercise prices of the option and the underlying warrants and the market price of the units and underlying securities) to exercise the option without the payment of any cash.

BUSINESS OF AMERICAN APPAREL

Overview

American Apparel is a vertically-integrated manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of branded fashion basic apparel. As of September 30, 2007, American Apparel operated 165 retail stores in 13 countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, England, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Israel, Japan and South Korea, either directly or through one or more subsidiaries. American Apparel also operates a leading wholesale business that supplies t-shirts and other casual wear to distributors and screen printers. In addition to its retail stores and wholesale operations, since 2004 American Apparel operates an online retail e-commerce website at www.americanapparelstore.com.

American Apparel currently has the following US-domiciled subsidiaries: American Apparel Retail, Inc., American Apparel Dyeing and Finishing, Inc., and KCL Knitting, LLC. Additionally, American Apparel operates its retail and wholesale business through the following direct and indirect foreign subsidiaries: American Apparel Canada Wholesale Inc., American Apparel Canada Retail Inc., American Apparel Deutschland GmbH, American Apparel Spain, S.L., American Apparel Italia GmbH, American Apparel (UK) Limited, American Apparel (Carnaby) Limited, American Apparel Mexico S DE RL DE CU, American Apparel Mexico Labor, LLC, American Apparel Japan Co., Ltd., American Apparel Korea Co., Ltd. and American Apparel Retail (Israel), Ltd.

American Apparel operates principally out of its 800,000 square foot facility in downtown Los Angeles, which houses its executive offices, as well as its cutting, sewing, and distribution operations. American Apparel operates a knitting facility in Los Angeles, as well as a dyeing and finishing facility in Hawthorne, California. The Company’s domestic manufacturing operations allow American Apparel to quickly respond to customer demand and react faster to changing fashion trends. The Company’s products are noted for their quality and fit, and the Company’s edgy, distinctive branding has differentiated it in the marketplace. “American Apparel^®” is a registered trademark of American Apparel, Inc.

American Apparel was founded in 1998 as a limited liability company in the state of California. In 2003, it was converted to a corporation. In 2004, it elected to be treated as a Subchapter S corporation. Since inception, American Apparel has operated its wholesale business. In October 2003, American Apparel opened its first retail store in Los Angeles. In 2004, American Apparel began its online retail operations, and opened its first stores in Canada and Europe. In 2005, it opened its first store in Asia.

Core Business Strengths

American Apparel has relied on a number of core business strengths that it believes have contributed to its past success and will contribute to its future growth:

Design Vision

American Apparel’s design vision and aesthetic is intended to appeal to young, metropolitan adults by providing them with a core line of iconic, timeless styles offered year-round in a wide variety of colors at reasonable prices. Since its founding, American Apparel has operated with the belief that there is a large potential market among young adults for well-designed, high-quality, fashion essentials. Led by Mr. Charney, the Company’s in-house creative team has carefully developed the Company’s product line and brand image.

Advertising and Branding

American Apparel attracts customers through internally-developed, edgy, high-impact, visual advertising campaigns which use print, outdoor, in-store, and electronic communication vehicles. These advertising

142

campaigns communicate a distinct brand image that differentiates the Company from its competitors and seek to establish a connection with the company’s customers. The company’s retail stores are an important part of American Apparel’s branding and convey a modern, internationalist lifestyle. At various times, the company has also drawn attention to the “Made in USA” nature of its products and the “Sweatshop Free” environment in which the company’s garments are produced.

Speed to Market

The company’s vertically integrated business model, where manufacturing and various other elements of the company’s business processes are located in downtown Los Angeles, allows the company to play a role in originating and defining new and innovative trends in fashion, while enabling the company to quickly respond to market and customer demand for classic and new products. For the company’s wholesale segment, being able to fulfill large orders with quick turn around allows American Apparel to win business that might otherwise go to competitors. The ability to respond to the market quickly means that the company’s retail segment can deliver in-trend apparel in a timely manner, adhere to a policy of not discounting product at its retail stores and maximize sales on popular styles that may have otherwise sold out.

Quality

American Apparel prides itself on its use of quality fabrics. American Apparel has a stringent quality control department that oversees the production of its garments and, with the 2005 acquisition of its own dyeing operation, American Apparel has the ability to exercise greater control over the entire process of creating its expanding line of clothing and accessories.

Broad Appeal

While initially targeted towards young, metropolitan adults in North America, the clean, simple styles and quality of the company’s garments have helped American Apparel appeal to various demographics across the world. The company believes that its appeal has been augmented by, and should continue to benefit from, the growing trend toward casual attire.

Growth Strategy

American Apparel has developed a growth strategy that is designed to capitalize on its strengths. The principal elements of this growth strategy are:

New Store Expansion

American Apparel is committed to expanding its presence in the North America while significantly increasing its store footprint in markets throughout Europe and Asia. American Apparel evaluates proposed sites based on traffic patterns, co-tenancies, average sales per square foot achieved by neighboring stores, lease economics, demographic characteristics and other factors considered important regarding the specific location. The company’s experience in overseas markets to date suggests that American Apparel’s brand concept is readily transferable.

New Merchandise Introduction

As American Apparel expands beyond its original product offering of t-shirts, the company is increasing the options available to its growing customer base. American Apparel has strategically expanded its product offerings and intends to continue to introduce new merchandise to complement its existing products and draw in new customers, including denim, sweaters, jackets, and other products.

143

Continue In-Sourcing Manufacturing Processes

American Apparel has explored making strategic acquisitions to consolidate its manufacturing operations and continue to produce high quality products. In 2005, the company acquired a dyeing and finishing facility in Hawthorne, California. American Apparel believes that bringing certain elements of its production process in-house affords the company the opportunity to exert higher quality control while also lowering production costs. American Apparel intends to continue to pursue strategic opportunities to further consolidate its operations while maintaining its “Made in USA” status.

Improve Information Systems

American Apparel plans to implement an enterprise resources planning (“ERP”) system to replace, enhance and integrate many elements of its current information systems. The company currently operates a number of unrelated information technology systems which has resulted in operational inefficiencies and increased cost. It is anticipated that the implementation of this new system will be a multi-phased project, with the first phase covering manufacturing and production planning, and an estimated “go-live” date sometime in the first calendar quarter of 2008. Beyond the implementation of this ERP system, American Apparel believes that a continued focus on enhancing its information system will help optimize operations.

Manufacturing Operations

American Apparel conducts all of its manufacturing operations in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and principally at its cutting and sewing facility in downtown Los Angeles.

American Apparel purchases yarn which is sent to knitters to be knit into greige fabric, which is fabric that is not dyed or otherwise processed. The company currently conducts knitting operations in-house at its knitting facility in Los Angeles. The company operates circular and flat knitting machines at this facility, producing jersey, piqué, fleece and ribbing using cotton and cotton/polyester yarns. The company also utilizes third-party commission knitters. The company’s knitting facility knits approximately a third of the total fabric used in American Apparel’s garments, and employs a staff of approximately 71 people, as of September 30, 2007.

Knitted greige fabric produced at the Los Angeles facility or other commission knitters is batched for bleaching and dyeing and is taken to the company’s dyeing and finishing facility, or other local commission dyers. In some cases, dyed fabric is transferred to subcontractors for fabric laundering. The company’s dyeing and finishing facility dyes approximately a third of the total fabric used in American Apparel’s garments, and employs a staff of approximately 131 people, as of September 30, 2007.

All fabric is shipped to the company’s primary manufacturing facility in downtown Los Angeles where it is inspected and eventually cut on manual and automated cutting tables, and subsequently sewn into finished garments. Some fabric is purchased directly from third parties, along with all trims. Garments are sewn by teams of sewing operators typically ranging from 5-15 operators, depending on the complexity of a particular garment. Each sewing operator performs a different sewing operation on a garment before passing it to the next operator. Sewing operators are compensated on a modified piece-rate basis. Quality control personnel inspect finished garments for defects and reject any defective merchandise. American Apparel also manufactures some hosiery in-house at this facility, where it does knitting, inspection, and packing, and uses off-site contractors for washing and boarding. Approximately 2,500 employees are directly involved in the cutting, sewing, and hosiery operations at the downtown Los Angeles facility, as of September 30, 2007.

American Apparel does not have any major suppliers for which it relies on the raw materials that it uses in its production process. Furthermore, the inputs that American Apparel purchases are produced competitively and are commodity in nature. American Apparel believes that it could easily source its inputs from other vendors if current suppliers were not able to meet its needs.

144

American Apparel maintains a warehouse and distribution center at its downtown Los Angeles facility where it stores fabric rolls, trims, and finished goods. The company also maintains warehouses in Montreal, Quebec, and Dusseldorf, Germany.

Retail

The retail segment consists of 165 retail stores in 13 countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, England, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Israel, Japan and South Korea. American Apparel opened its first retail location in October 2003, in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. American Apparel’s retail segment principally targets young adults aged 21 to 32 through its unique assortment of fashionable clothing and accessories and its compelling in-store experience. American Apparel has established a reputation with its customers, who are culturally sophisticated, creative and independent-minded. The product offering includes women’s and men’s basic apparel and accessories, as well as new lines for children and pets. Stores average approximately 2,500-3,000 square feet of selling space. American Apparel’s stores are located in large metropolitan areas, emerging neighborhoods, and select university communities.

American Apparel seeks to instill enthusiasm and dedication in store management personnel and sales associates through regular communication with the stores. Store personnel receive minimum hourly compensation and receive discretionary incentive compensation based on meeting sales and profitability benchmarks.

In September 2007, American Apparel began operations of a test retail concept named California Vintage, which sells fashionable vintage apparel not manufactured by American Apparel. Currently American Apparel operates one California Vintage location in Cologne, Germany. American Apparel has not yet determined its long-term plans for this concept.

Wholesale

The wholesale segment sells to over a dozen authorized distributors and 10,000 screen printers and advertising specialty companies. These screen printers and advertising specialty companies decorate our blank product with corporate logos, brands and other images. American Apparel’s wholesale customers sell imprinted sportswear and accessories to a highly diversified range of end-consumers, including companies, sporting venues, concert promoters, athletic leagues, and educational institutions, among others. In order to better serve customers, American Apparel allows customers to order products by the piece, by the dozen, or in full case quantities. American Apparel also, to a lesser extent, fulfills custom and private-label orders. American Apparel does not have any major customers who account for ten percent or more of total consolidated or wholesale sales.

American Apparel operates a call center out of its Los Angeles headquarters. The call center is staffed with approximately 40 customer service representatives initiating sales calls, answering incoming phone calls, emails, and faxes assisting customers in placing orders, checking stock levels, looking for price quotes or requesting adjustments. On average, the call center receives 800 calls daily and operates from Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm, PT.

While American Apparel operates primarily on a “make-to-stock” basis, manufacturing and maintaining a sufficient inventory of products to meet future demand, the company’s in-house manufacturing capacity also allows American Apparel to fulfill large orders in a timely fashion. American Apparel levers its inventory position with a quick turn-around on customer orders. Credit approved orders to be shipped by ground service are generally shipped the same day when received before 4:30pm PT while those to be shipped by air are generally shipped the same day when received by 3:30pm PT. The majority of American Apparel’s wholesale and internet consumer orders are processed within these parameters. For these reasons, American Apparel does not typically maintain a large backlog of orders.

145

You can find more information about the financial results of each segment in American Apparel’s consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement.

Online Retail

Since 2004, American Apparel has operated an online retail e-commerce website at www.americanapparelstore.com which offers the company’s products for purchase. This retail website has localized storefronts for many of the international markets in which American Apparel has a physical retail presence. In July 2007, American Apparel started operations of an online storefront for the Australian market.

Brand, Advertising, and Marketing

American Apparel’s advertising and direct marketing initiatives have been developed to elevate brand awareness, increase customer acquisition and retention and support key growth strategies. American Apparel’s in-house creative team works to create edgy, high-impact, provocative ads which are produced year-round and are featured in leading national and local lifestyle publications, on billboards, and on specialty online websites. American Apparel maintains a photo studio at its headquarters. Content for American Apparel’s website and online store are also generated internally at American Apparel. While the primary intent of this advertising is to support American Apparel’s retail and online retail segments, the wholesale segment also benefits from the greater overall brand awareness generated by this advertising.

For the wholesale segment, American Apparel takes advantage of industry trade shows as an opportunity to expand and enhance customer relationships, exhibit its product offerings and share new promotions with customers. American Apparel participates in approximately two dozen trade shows annually. American Apparel also produces an annual print catalog of its wholesale products, designed to be of the standard of high-end consumer retail catalogs with attractive models, appealing photographs and a clear display of products.

Product Development

American Apparel employs an in-house staff of designers and creative professionals whose mandate it is to develop compelling garments. Led by Mr. Charney, this team takes its inspiration from classic styles of the past, as well as the latest emerging trends in fashion seen on the streets of some of the most fashion-forward neighborhoods in the world. Even after a new style is launched, the American Apparel’s design team will often continue to update or renew it.

Intellectual Property

American Apparel trademarks and service marks, and certain other trademarks, have been registered, or are the subject of pending trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and with the registries of many foreign countries and/or are protected by common law. In the United States, American Apparel is the registered owner of the “American Apparel,” “Classic Girl,” “Standard American,” “Classic Baby,” and “Sustainable Edition” trademarks, among others.

Competition; Customers

The specialty retail, online retail and the wholesale apparel businesses are each highly competitive. The apparel industry is characterized by rapid shifts in fashion, consumer demand, and competitive pressures, resulting in both price and demand volatility. American Apparel believes that its emphasis on quality fashion essentials mitigates these factors.

American Apparel’s retail segment competes on the basis of, among other things, the location of the stores, the breadth, quality, style, and availability of merchandise, the level of customer service offered and price. While American Apparel believes that the fit and quality of its garments, as well as the broad variety of colors and styles of casual fashion essentials that it offers, helps differentiate it, it competes against a wide variety of

146

smaller, independent specialty stores, as well as department stores and national and international specialty chains. Companies that operate in this space include The Gap, Urban Outfitters, H&M, Uniqlo and Forever 21. Many of these companies have substantially greater name recognition as well as financial, marketing, and other resources.

The wholesale business competes with numerous wholesale companies based on the quality, fashion, availability, and price of our wholesale product offerings. These companies include Gildan Activewear, Hanes, Russell Athletic and Fruit of the Loom. Many of these companies have greater name recognition and financial and other resources.

Along with certain retail segment factors noted above, other key competitive factors for American Apparel’s online retail operations include the success or effectiveness of customer mailing lists, response rates, merchandise delivery and web site design and availability. The online retail operations compete against numerous web sites, many of which may have a greater volume of web traffic, and greater financial, marketing and other resources.

Seasonality

American Apparel experiences seasonality in its operations. Historically, sales during the second and third fiscal quarters have generally been the highest, with sales during the first fiscal quarter the lowest. This reflects the combined impact of the seasonality of the wholesale and retail segments. Generally, American Apparel’s retail segment has not experienced the same pronounced sales seasonality around the back-to-school and year-end holiday selling seasons as other retailers.

Employees

As of October 31, 2007, American Apparel employed a work force of over 6,100 employees worldwide. To ensure long-term success, American Apparel must attract, develop and retain skilled employees. This includes, but is not limited to manufacturing, retail, sales, creative, and executive employees. Competition for such employees can be intense. American Apparel’s success is dependent to a significant degree on the continued contributions of key employees, including Mr. Charney.

American Apparel views its employees as long-term investments and adheres to a philosophy of providing employees with decent working conditions in a technology-driven environment which allows the company to attain improved efficiency, while inspiring employee loyalty. American Apparel has emphasized its compensation structure and benefits package for manufacturing employees, which includes above-market wages, company-subsidized health insurance, free English language classes, free massage, free parking, as well as other benefits. American Apparel also provides for a well-lit working environment that is properly ventilated and heated or cooled in its manufacturing facilities. These working conditions, as well as compensation and benefits packages, are key elements in achieving American Apparel’s desire to be an “employer of choice” in the Los Angeles area. American Apparel tries to provide for year-round employment, in contrast to the seasonality in production volumes experienced by other apparel companies which often result in seasonal layoffs. None of the employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. American Apparel has never had a strike and believes that its relations with its employees are excellent.

Information Technology

American Apparel is committed to utilizing technology to enhance its competitive position. American Apparel’s information systems provide data for production, merchandising, distribution, retail stores and financial systems. The core business systems, which consist of both purchased and internally developed software, are accessed over a company-wide network providing corporate employees with access to key business applications.

To support continued growth, American Apparel has initiated a strategic review of its information systems. American Apparel plans to implement the ERP system to replace, enhance and integrate many elements of its

147

current information systems. American Apparel currently operates a number of unrelated information technology systems that have resulted in operational inefficiencies and in some cases have increased costs. It is anticipated that the implementation of this new system will be a multi-phased project, with the first phase covering manufacturing and production planning, with an estimated “go-live” date sometime in the first quarter of calendar 2008. If American Apparel fails to properly execute or misses critical deadlines in the implementation of this new system, it could experience serious disruption and harm to its business.

American Apparel dedicates a significant portion of its information technology resources to web services, which includes the operation of the corporate website at www.americanapparel.net and the online retail site at www.americanapparelstore.com.

148

All of American Apparel’s retail stores are well maintained and in good operating condition. American Apparel’s retail stores are typically leased for a term of five to ten years with renewal options for an additional five to ten years. Most of these leases provide for base rent, as well as maintenance and common area charges, real estate taxes and certain other expenses. Selling space of opened stores will sometimes change due to store renovations that modify space utilization, use of staircases, cash registers configuration, and other factors. As well, a number of American Apparel store locations have undergone expansions in the past several years.

Environmental Regulation

American Apparel’s operations are subject to various environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations. Because the company monitors, controls and manages environmental issues, American Apparel believes it is in compliance in all material respects with the regulatory requirements of those jurisdictions in which its facilities are located as it does receive compliance confirmations from those jurisdictions on a regular basis. In line with its commitment to the environment as well as to the health and safety of its employees, American Apparel will continue to make expenditures to comply with these requirements, and does not believe that compliance will have a material adverse effect on its business. As is the case with manufacturers in general, if a release of hazardous substances occurs on or from its properties or any associated offsite disposal locations, or if contamination from prior activities is discovered at any of its properties, American Apparel may be held liable. While the amount of such liability could be material, American Apparel seeks to conduct its operations in a manner that reduces such risks.

Legal Proceedings

American Apparel is subject to regulatory inquiries, claims and suits that arise in the ordinary course of business and is, from time to time, involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business. Additionally, from time to time, American Apparel is the subject of labor related claims filed by current and former employees with the courts and regulatory agencies. The company conducts extensive internal investigations of all allegations brought against it and cooperates with external regulatory investigations.

During the latter half of 2006, American Apparel initiated company-wide layoffs in response to its then-current financial condition. One of the employees affected by these layoffs was Mr. Lewis Copsidas, an accounts receivable manager for American Apparel. During the first quarter of 2007, American Apparel was contacted in

151

writing by Mr. Copsidas, who alleged that his termination was due to his age. American Apparel promptly conducted an internal investigation of the allegation and found no evidence to support any such claim. In June 2007, Mr. Copsidas filed a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), which is currently investigating the claim. Upon request, American Apparel submitted a written statement to the EEOC in support of its position with respect to Mr. Copsidas’ termination in July 2007. No further action has been taken by the EEOC or Mr. Copsidas. To the best of American Apparel’s knowledge, Mr. Copsidas’ has not specified any damages nor sought any specific relief in his pending EEOC claim.

Additionally, on or about September 19, 2005, Ms. Mary Nelson, an independent contractor in the sales department at American Apparel commenced a suit in a case captioned as Mary Nelson v. American Apparel, Inc., et al., Case Number BC333028, filed in Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Central District, wherein she alleges she was wrongfully terminated, was subjected to harassment and discrimination based upon her gender and other claims related to her tenure at American Apparel. The company denies all of Ms. Nelson’s allegations of wrongdoing. Ms. Nelson is seeking unspecified monetary damages and costs. This case is currently in pre-trial mediation. American Apparel intends to aggressively defend this matter.

On or about September 4, 2007, Hanesbrands, Inc. and related entities (collectively, “Hanes”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina captioned Hanesbrands, Inc. et al. v. American Apparel, Inc. and American Apparel Retail, Inc., Case No. 1:07-cv-00662. In that lawsuit, Hanes contends that American Apparel used Hanes’ trademarks BARELY THERE and/or BARELYTHERE without Hanes’ authorization or approval and, by so doing, falsely represented the source, affiliation or sponsorship of American Apparel products. American Apparel is in the process of settling this matter with Hanes and does not expect the settlement to be material, however, no determination can be made at this time as to the final outcome of the settlement.

On or about October 3, 2007, Ms. Sonja Klimp filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California captioned as Sonja Klimp v. American Apparel, Inc. and American Apparel Retail, Inc., Case No. CV07-06448. Ms. Klimp is claiming that American Apparel, Inc. and American Apparel, Retail, Inc., knowingly and willfully violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq.) by printing more than the last five digits of a person’s credit card or debit card numbers and/or printing the expiration date of the person’s credit card on receipts provided to customers. The lawsuit is seeking an order certifying this case as a class action, as well as injunctive relief and unquantified statutory and monetary damages. American Apparel denies the allegations and intends to aggressively defend this matter.

American Apparel’s management intends to investigate all of the aforesaid matters and, as appropriate, engage in a vigorous defense. Although the outcome of these claims cannot be determined with certainty, American Apparel is of the opinion that these claims will not have a material adverse impact on American Apparel’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, management’s assessment of American Apparel’s exposure could change as the claims proceed or if additional facts become known in the future.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Discussion and Analysis of Current Compensation Scheme

Since its formation, American Apparel has been a closely held company, operating under the direction of its Chief Executive Officer and its board of directors (which consists of the Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Lim, the company’s Secretary). As a result, American Apparel’s executive compensation practices have been relatively informal. To date, American Apparel has not used, and has not had the need to use, the more formal compensation practices and policies employed by publicly traded companies subject to the executive compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Historically, all compensation decisions have been made by American Apparel’s Chief Executive Officer, with the approval and consent of the board of directors when deemed necessary or appropriate.

152

American Apparel’s Chief Executive Officer and Secretary are the sole shareholders of American Apparel, a subchapter S corporation, and, in lieu of salary or other compensation, have elected to take periodic cash distributions of the net income of the company allocated to them as shareholders of a subchapter S corporation.

The primary goals of American Apparel’s executive compensation program for other executives are to attract and retain the most talented and dedicated executives possible through the use of a cash incentives designed to reward the achievement of corporate and individual objectives that promote the growth of American Apparel’s business. American Apparel’s compensation packages for the executives other than Mr. Charney and Mr. Lim have generally been a mix of salary and cash incentive payments. American Apparel has not employed equity based compensation for such other executives because of its belief that, due to the illiquid nature of an investment in its shares, equity based compensation would not provide the same incentive as a cash-based program.

American Apparel believes that its performance-based compensation is an important component of the total executive compensation package for attracting, motivating and retaining high-quality executives.

American Apparel’s compensation philosophy is designed to help the company attract talented individuals to manage and operate all aspects of its business, to reward these individuals fairly, and to retain those individuals who continue to meet American Apparel’s high expectations and support the achievement of its business objectives. In this regard, during 2006, American Apparel’s compensation program was designed to:

•

reward employees and executives for the company’s overall performance; and

•

attract and retain talented individuals who are capable of leading American Apparel as it continues to develop into a preeminent clothing manufacturer and retail enterprise.

Elements of Compensation

The compensation received by American Apparel’s executive officers consists of the following elements:

Compensation of Messrs. Charney and Lim. In lieu of salary and other compensation, during 2006 Messrs. Charney and Lim, received periodic cash distributions of the net income of the company allocated to them under the subchapter S corporation rules. During 2006, Mr. Charney received distributions in the amount of $348,000 and Mr. Lim received distributions in the amount of $348,000. During 2006, Mr. Charney also borrowed $69,468 and Mr. Lim borrowed $148,580 from the company. Mr. Charney also received a management fee from the CI companies in the amount of USD$2,045,000. To date, during 2007, Messrs. Charney and Lim have each received distributions in the amount of $2,260,920 from the company. Additionally, during 2007 Mr. Charney has borrowed $439,947 and Mr. Lim has borrowed $238,098 from the company. Mr. Charney has also had approximately USD$2.7 million in management fees allocated to him from the CI companies. These management fees are subject to adjustment based upon the full year performance of the CI companies.

Compensation of other Executive Officers.

Base Salary. Base salaries for American Apparel’s other executive officers are established based on the scope of their responsibilities, historical performance and individual experience. Base salaries are reviewed annually, and adjusted from time to time. During 2006:

•

Ken Cieply, American Apparel’s Chief Financial Officer commencing June 12, 2006, received a salary of $103,846; and

•

Martin Bailey, American Apparel’s President of Manufacturing, received a salary of $200,000 and a bonus of $15,000 for a total of $215,000.

The base salaries for Messrs. Cieply and Bailey have increased during 2007. Mr. Cieply’s current annual salary is $240,000 (a 20% increase) and Mr. Bailey’s current salary is $245,000 (a 22.5% increase).

153

Benefits. AAI also offers the following benefits to its named executive officers, generally on the same basis provided to all of its employees:

•

health, dental insurance and vision;

•

life insurance; and

•

short-term disability.

Discussion and Analysis of Future Compensation Scheme

Overall

Following completion of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, American Apparel intends to develop executive compensation packages that are competitive in terms of potential value to its executives, and which are tailored to the unique characteristics and needs of American Apparel within its industry to reward its executives for their roles in creating value for shareholders. American Apparel intends to be competitive with other similarly situated companies in its industry following completion of the acquisition.

It is anticipated that decisions on executive compensation policies and programs following the completion of the acquisition will be made by a compensation committee of the company’s Board of Directors Since that compensation committee will not be established until consummation of the acquisition, no formal or informal policies or guidelines now exist for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of compensation have been adopted as of the date hereof. The following discussion is based on the company’s present expectations as to the policies and programs to be adopted by the compensation committee. The actual policies and programs actually adopted will depend on the application of the judgment of the members of the compensation committee and may differ from those reflected in the following discussion.

Of necessity, the compensation decisions regarding executives will be based on the need to retain and attract individuals with the skills necessary for the company to achieve its business objectives, to reward those individuals fairly, and to retain those individuals who continue to perform at or above expectations.

It is anticipated that compensation for executives will have three primary components—salary, cash incentive bonus and stock-based awards. These components of executive compensation would be related but distinct. Although it is anticipated that the compensation committee would review total compensation, the company does not believe that significant compensation derived from one component of compensation should negate or reduce compensation from other components. The company anticipates determining the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on its view of internal equity and consistency, individual performance and other information deemed relevant and timely.

In addition to the guidance provided by its compensation committee, the company may utilize the services of third parties from time to time in connection with the hiring and compensation awarded to executive employees. This could include subscriptions to executive compensation surveys and other databases.

It is expected that the compensation committee will be charged with performing an annual review of executive officers’ cash compensation and equity holdings to determine whether they provide adequate incentives and motivation to executive officers and whether they adequately compensate the executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies.

Benchmarking of Cash and Equity Compensation

The company expects that the compensation committee will stay apprised of the cash and equity compensation practices of publicly held companies in the apparel and related industries through data obtained from such companies’ public reports and from other resources. It is expected that any companies chosen for

154

inclusion in any benchmarking group would have business characteristics comparable to the company, including revenues, financial growth metrics, stage of development, employee headcount and market capitalization. While benchmarking may not always be appropriate as a stand-alone tool for setting compensation due to the aspects of the post-acquisition business and objectives that may be unique to the company, The company expects gathering this information will be an important part of its compensation-related decision-making process.

Compensation Components

Base Salary. The company expects to work with the compensation committee to set executive base salaries at levels comparable with those of executives in similar positions and with similar responsibilities at comparable companies. The company expects to maintain base salary amounts at or near the industry norms while avoiding paying amounts in excess of what it believes is necessary to motivate executives to meet corporate goals. It is anticipated that base salaries will generally be reviewed annually, subject to terms of employment agreements, and that the compensation committee and board will seek to adjust base salary amounts to realign such salaries with industry norms after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience.

Annual Bonuses. The company intends to utilize cash incentive bonuses for executives to focus them on achieving key operational and financial objectives within a yearly time horizon. It expects that, near the beginning of each year, the board, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee and subject to any applicable employment agreements, will determine performance parameters for appropriate executives. It also expects that, at the end of each year, the board and compensation committee will determine the level of achievement for each corporate goal.

It is anticipated that the performance parameters for eligibility to receive cash bonuses under the terms of the employment agreements to be executed in connection with the consummation of the acquisition will be set by the compensation committee each year, within 45 days of approval of such year’s annual budget.

The company intends to establish cash incentive bonus compensation that it is taxable to its employees at the time it becomes available to them. At this time, it is anticipated that one or more executive officer’s annual cash compensation may exceed $1 million, and Endeavor may make plans to qualify for any compensation deductions under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

Equity Awards. The company also intends to use stock options and other stock-based awards to reward long-term performance. The company believes that providing a meaningful portion of an executive’s total compensation package in stock options and other stock-based awards will align the incentives of its executives with the interests of shareholders and with the company’s long-term success. The company expects the compensation committee and board to develop their equity award determinations based on their judgments as to whether the complete compensation packages provided to executives, including prior equity awards, are sufficient to retain, motivate and adequately award the executives.

Equity awards will be granted through the 2007 Performance Equity Plan, which was adopted by Endeavor board and is being submitted to the stockholders of Endeavor for their consideration at the special meeting. All employees, directors, officers and consultants will be eligible to participate in the 2007 Performance Equity Plan. The material terms of the 2007 Performance Equity Plan are further described in the section of this proxy statement entitled “2007 Performance Equity Plan Proposal.” No awards have been made under the plan as of the date of this proxy statement. It is anticipated that all options granted under the plan in the future will have an exercise price at least equal to the fair market of Endeavor’s common stock on the date of grant.

Any equity compensation expense will be accounted for under the rules of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123R, which requires a company to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation over the service period of the award. Accounting rules also will require the company to record cash compensation as an expense at the time the obligation is accrued. Until the company achieves sustained profitability, the availability to it of a tax deduction for compensation expense is not material to its financial position.

155

Severance Benefits. The company may consider the adoption of a severance plan for executive officers and other employees in the future. Employment agreements that may be entered into by the persons who will initially serve as executive officers following consummation of the acquisition will likely provide for certain rights and obligations in the event of the termination of employment as more fully described in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Employment Agreements.”

Other Compensation. It is currently anticipated that the company will establish and maintain various employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, life insurance and 401(k) plans. These plans will be available to all salaried employees and will not discriminate in favor of executive officers. The company may extend other perquisites to its executives that are not available to its employees generally.

For additional information regarding the compensation philosophy and objectives, elements of compensation, and material factors used by the compensation committee with respect to ongoing compensation of executive officers following the consummation of the acquisition, see the section entitled “Directors and Executive Officers of Endeavor Following the Acquisition—Executive Compensation.”

AMERICAN APPAREL’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information contained in this section has been derived from consolidated financial statements of AAI, the combined financial statements of CI companies. Information contained herein should be read together with AAI’s, and the CI companies’ financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

The following discussion is intended to assist in the assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results of operations and financial condition of American Apparel. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with AAI’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included, as well as in conjunction with the CI companies’ combined financial statements and notes thereto included.

American Apparel’s business has grown organically in all of its markets. AAI designs, manufactures and distributes apparel for women, men, children and pets in retail stores and through wholesale business operations, which includes its web-based operations, throughout the United States and internationally, except for Canada where the CI companies sell AAI’s products through their retail stores and distribute goods to third party wholesale companies.

American Apparel’s revenue is driven by its ability to design and market desirable products, identify business opportunities and secure new as well as renew existing distribution channels. American Apparel’s income from operations is derived from its ability to generate revenue and collect cash in excess of labor, material and other inventory manufacturing costs as well as selling, general and administrative costs.

US and Canadian dollar amounts set forth in “American Apparel’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” are in thousands (000s) unless otherwise indicated.

Nature of Operations

AAI is a designer, manufacturer and distributor of blank t-shirts and other comfort apparel for men, women, children and pets. AAI operates its business through three distinct business segments: US—Wholesale, which includes a consumer e-commerce web site; US—Retail, which consists of 96 retail stores located in the United States; and International (International represents the “All other” category which is comprised of international retail, international wholesale and international online operations) consisting of 44 retail stores in 12 countries, several international e-commerce websites and some wholesale activity . AAI maintains corporate offices, primary manufacturing and distribution facilities, as well as a knitting and dye house in Los Angeles, California. AAI also maintains a portion of its yarn at outside knitting facilities and a portion of its greige goods at outside dye houses. AAI operates through numerous subsidiaries. AAI’s net sales from US Wholesale, US-Retail, and International, as a percentage of consolidated net sales, were approximately 45.4%, 31.5% and 23.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 53.5%, 29.5% and 17.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and 52.2%, 30.3% and 17.5% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. The CI companies sell American Apparel products through 25 Canadian retail outlets, as well as a Canadian wholesale distribution center.

During the period from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2007, American Apparel increased its US-based retail stores from three to 96, while establishing an additional 69 retail outlets in 12 countries. The following tables detail the growth in retail store activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and twelve months ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Overview

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 AAI reported net sales of $255 million, an increase of $58 million over the comparable 2006 period. Further, the CI companies posted net sales of CDN$33 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, up from CDN$26 million for the corresponding 2006 period. The increase in net sales was generally the result of expansion in the company’s US Retail, International and Canadian retail distribution channels, as the company added new store locations and expanded its product offerings in existing stores. American Apparel selects new store locations based upon consideration of a number of factors, including projected sales potential, financial conditions of the prospective lease agreement, co-tenancy, as well as ancillary benefits such as increase in brand recognition. At times, consideration is also given to locations where American Apparel has no retail store presence but on-line sales history demonstrates a strong demand for the products. During the period, American Apparel expanded its fabric offerings which facilitated introduction of new styles across the wholesale and retail distribution channels. As many as thirty new styles were added to the retail distribution channel of which the most notable was the addition of denim products. As a result, AAI and the CI companies both saw comparable store sales increase by 24% as compared to the prior like nine month period.

Gross profits for AAI and the CI companies increased by 7.2 percentage points and 1 percentage point, respectively, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the first nine months of 2006. These increases are primarily attributed to the higher mix of retail sales to wholesale sales which generate higher gross profits. A higher percentage of sales were from retail sales with a lower cost of sales percentage due to higher sales price at retail compared to wholesale. AAI’s net income for the 2007 period increased to $11.6 million compared to a loss of $0.2 million in the 2006 period, while the CI companies reported net income of CDN$1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to CDN$0.1 million in the corresponding 2006 period.

Management of American Apparel believes that this growth has been enhanced by the addition of new stores, an increased focus on building brand awareness and product diversity, designed to keep existing retail customers and attract new ones. To build on this trend, American Apparel is looking to grow its US Retail, International and Canadian Retail segments. 13 additional stores are expected to open before the end of 2007 domestically and internationally. Additionally, AAI and the CI companies are currently selecting, negotiating and reviewing new store leases slated for openings in 2008.

As American Apparel’s business grows, management is examining its existing systems to make each segment work as efficiently as possible. To that end, the first phase of the company’s ERP system to manage the production requirements is expected to go operational in the first quarter of 2008. The new ERP system will

159

enable AAI to handle higher production volume through more efficient supply chain management. AAI, while currently able to meet its production requirements using both internal and third party resources, is developing strategies to increase its internal production capacity to meet future needs. The business combination with Endeavor will provide additional working capital that is needed for the company to achieve its current expansion goals. However, in the event that the Endeavor shareholders fail to approve the contemplated transactions, American Apparel would likely be required to scale back its expansion plans.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Complete descriptions of American Apparel’s significant accounting policies are outlined in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this proxy statement.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its 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. American Apparel’s critical accounting estimates and policies include:

•

sales returns and allowances;

•

allowance for doubtful accounts; inventory valuation and obsolescence;

•

valuation and recoverability of long-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets including the values assigned to acquired intangible assets, goodwill, and property, plant and equipment;

•

income taxes;

•

foreign currency; and

•

accruals for the outcome of current litigation.

In general, estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals and on various other sources and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances at the time such estimates are made. On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions under different and/or future circumstances. American Apparel’s management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:

•

it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and

•

changes in the estimate, or the use of different estimating methods that could have been selected, could have a material impact on American Apparel’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Revenue Recognition

American Apparel recognizes product sales revenue when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, shipment and passage of title has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue from wholesale sales, are recorded at the time the product is shipped to the customer. Revenue from online sales are recorded at the time the products are delivered to the customers. With respect to its own retail store operations American Apparel recognizes revenue upon the sale of its products to retail customers. American Apparel’s net sales represent gross sales invoiced to customers, less certain related charges for discounts, returns, and other promotional allowances. Allowances provided for these items are presented in the consolidated financial statements primarily as

160

reductions to sales and cost of sales (see “Sales Returns and Other Allowances” discussed below for further information). American Apparel recognizes the sales from gift cards, gift certificates and store credits as they are redeemed for merchandise.

Allowance for Sales Returns

American Apparel analyzes sales returns in accordance with SFAS No. 48 “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists” (“SFAS 48”). American Apparel is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns for both its wholesale and retail segments based upon historical experience. American Apparel also monitors the buying patterns of the end-users of its products based on sales data received by its retail outlets. Estimates for sales returns are based on a variety of factors including actual returns based on expected return data communicated to it by customers. Accordingly, American Apparel believes that its historical returns analysis is an accurate basis for its allowance for sales returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates. At September 30, 2007, allowance for sales returns for AAI was $340.

As with any set of assumptions and estimates, there is a range of reasonably likely amounts that may be calculated for the company’s allowance for sales returns above. However, American Apparel believes that there would be no significant difference in the amounts reported using other reasonable assumptions than what was used to arrive at the allowance. American Apparel regularly reviews the factors that influence its estimates and, if necessary, makes adjustments when it believes that actual product returns and credits may differ from established reserves. Actual experience may be significantly different than American Apparel’s estimates.

Trade Receivables

Accounts receivable primarily consists of trade receivables, including amounts due from credit card companies, net of allowances. On a periodic basis, American Apparel evaluates its trade receivables and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a history of past bad debt expense, collections and current credit conditions. Accounts receivable primarily consists of trade receivables, including amounts due from credit card companies, net of allowances. Amounts due from credit card, debit card and electronic benefit transfer transactions as of September 30, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $2,257 and $1,213, respectively.

American Apparel performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information. Collections and payments from customers are continuously monitored. American Apparel maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon historical experience as well as specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such bad debt expenses have historically been within expectations and allowances established, American Apparel cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that it has in the past. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is primarily determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. AAI identifies potentially excess and slow-moving inventories by evaluating turn rates, inventory levels and other factors. Excess quantities are identified through evaluation of inventory aging, review of inventory turns and historical sales experiences. At times however, AAI will purposefully engage in inventory build up at a rate that outpaces sales. This is typically done during the first quarter in anticipation of peak selling season which occurs during the summer months of the second and third quarter of the year. At such times, AAI will consider the timing of inventory buildup in order to determine whether the buildup warrants additional reserves for inventory obsolescence. If the inventory buildup precedes the selling season, management maintains the existing provision for inventory obsolescence until the peak selling season has passed and the accumulated sales data provide a better basis for an update of management’s estimate of this provision. AAI has evaluated the current level of inventories considering historical sales and other factors and, based on this evaluation, has

161

recorded adjustments to cost of goods sold to adjust inventories to net realizable value. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual requirements if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The SFAS 142 goodwill impairment model is a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit that has goodwill assigned to its carrying value. American Apparel estimates the fair value of a reporting unit by using a discounted cash flow model. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be less than its carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of goodwill impairment, if any. Step two allocates the fair value of the reporting unit to the reporting unit’s net assets other than goodwill. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its net assets other than goodwill is considered the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is then compared to the carrying value of its goodwill. Any shortfall represents the amount of goodwill impairment.

Long-Lived Assets

American Apparel periodically reviews the values assigned to long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill. The associated depreciation and amortization periods are reviewed on an annual basis.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

American Apparel follows the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). SFAS 144 requires evaluation of the need for an impairment charge relating to long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write down to a new depreciable basis is required. If required, an impairment charge is recorded based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows.

American Apparel considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under-performance or loss of key contracts acquired in an acquisition relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or in American Apparel’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in American Apparel’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in American Apparel’s stock price for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes.

American Apparel periodically evaluates acquired businesses for potential impairment indicators. Judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based on market conditions and operational performance of the acquired businesses. Future events could cause American Apparel to conclude that impairment indicators exist, and therefore that goodwill and other intangible assets as well as other long lived assets are impaired. Such evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of future revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. A significant change in cash flows in the future could result in an impairment of long lived assets.

Foreign Currency

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries are translated from the functional currency, generally the local currency, into U.S. Dollars. This process results in exchange rate gains and losses, which, under the relevant accounting guidance, are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive income.”

162

Under the relevant accounting guidance, the functional currency of each foreign subsidiary is determined based on management’s judgment and involves consideration of all relevant economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiary. Generally, the currency in which the subsidiary transacts a majority of its transactions, including billings, financing, payroll and other expenditures, would be considered the functional currency, but any dependency upon the parent and the nature of the subsidiary’s operations must also be considered.

If a subsidiary’s functional currency is deemed to be the local currency, then any gain or loss associated with the translation of that subsidiary’s financial statements is included in accumulated other comprehensive income. However, if the functional currency is deemed to be the U.S. Dollar, then any gain or loss associated with the remeasurement of these financial statements from the local currency to the functional currency would be included within the statement of operations. If American Apparel disposes of subsidiaries, then any cumulative translation gains or losses would be recorded into the statement of operations. If American Apparel determines that there has been a change in the functional currency of a subsidiary to the U.S. Dollar, any translation gains or losses arising after the date of change would be included within the statement of operations.

Based on an assessment of the factors discussed above, American Apparel considers the relevant subsidiary’s local currency to be the functional currency for each of its foreign subsidiaries.

Income Taxes

American Apparel records the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as tax credit carrybacks and carryforwards. American Apparel periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, American Apparel operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

Contingencies

American Apparel is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to various matters. American Apparel is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. Management determines the amount of reserves needed, if any, for each individual issue based on its knowledge and experience and discussions with legal counsel. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter, the ultimate resolution of each matter or changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy, in dealing with these matters. American Apparel currently does not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Once the proposed acquisition is completed, American Apparel’s growth strategy will be to re-accelerate the number of retail locations. While there can be no assurance, American Apparel believes that there is a significant potential to expand its retail presence, with up to 800 worldwide locations in the current store format possible. In addition, American Apparel will continue to strategically expand its wholesale business. Finally, American Apparel will also look to expand the categories of merchandise it offers, specifically for denim, sweaters and accessories. To execute this growth strategy, American Apparel will leverage American Apparel’s brand awareness and its vertical manufacturing experience.

As American Apparel continues to expand through organic growth, internal initiatives and future acquisitions, it will incur additional material expenses. Two of the key areas in which such increased expenses will likely occur are cost of sales as well as new merchandise development. As previously noted, in order to grow

163

retail sales, American Apparel will have to open new retail locations and hire additional retail personnel to service new retail stores. In order to grow the wholesale distribution channel, American Apparel will have to hire new sales personnel to service new geographic territories.

To support new merchandise development, expenses will increase as AAI designs new products in existing and new categories.

Ongoing infrastructure investment also may be required to support growth. This may include expenditures for new buildings, machinery and equipment, as well as expenditures for upgraded information systems and expenditures to enhance the management team.

To reduce the impact of additional material expenses on earnings, American Apparel will have to look for ways to improve productivity of current manufacturing operations and to enhance other operating procedures. One of the initiatives already underway in its planning stage is the implementation of an ERP system that should realize gains in operation efficiencies in a number of enterprise-wide processes including inventory and production management.

The following tables set forth AAI’s net sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to September 30, 2006 and provides key breakdowns within each segment of significant net sales growth from period to period. One significant factor contributing to the overall growth in net sales period to period was the expansion of our international operations, as evidenced by the opening of 14 retail stores during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Additionally, during the same period 4 retail stores were opened and one store was closed in the United States. Also of primary significance to the expansion of AAI’s retail business in the United States was AAI’s increased focus on building brand awareness and targeted advertising campaigns as further described below.

	$	254,837	100.0%	$	196,745	100.0%	$	58,092	29.5	%

US Wholesale: Net sales for AAI’s US wholesale segment increased $10,353, an increase of 9.8%, in the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, primarily as a result of an increase in online sales due to strategic advertising and increased brand recognition as well as a result of organic growth of the wholesale business while maintaining focus on continued relationships with a set of established wholesale trading partners. One of the primary drivers behind the increase in US Wholesale sales, was the ability to meet customer demands through increased stock of inventory on hand. During the first three quarters of 2007, compared to the first three quarters of 2006, AAI went through a phase of increased production in order to meet customer demand during the peak sales season. Online sales increased from $6,310 to $10,891, an increase of $4,581. Wholesale sales increased from $99,020 to $104,792 an increase of $5,772.

	$	115,683	$	105,330	$	10,353	9.8	%

US Retail: Net sales for the US retail store segment increased $22,403, or 38.6%, from the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 to the comparable 2007 period, fueled by the addition of retail outlets in key markets within the US, as well as a significant increase in same store sales of 18.2%. Same-store sales are calculated as the sales increase over the previous year for stores that have been open for more than twelve months. Same-store sales contributed approximately $9,785 to the increase in US retail sales while sales from new stores contributed an additional $12,618 to the increase in US retail sales. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, the average number of open stores during the period was 94 while for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 average number of open stores during the period was 77.

International: Net sales for AAI’s International business segment increased $25,336 or 75.8% in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the number of international stores opened from 28 to 44 and partially due to the increase in same store sales of 36.4%. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, AAI opened six additional stores in Germany, two in the United Kingdom, and one in each France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands and Sweden. During the period existing store sales increased from $22,834 to $31,155 or 36.4%, while sales from new stores contributed an additional $14,397 and sales from wholesale and online increased by additional $6,936. During the nine months ended September 20, 2007 approximately $9,102 and $4,089 of the international sales were generated by wholesale and online sales, respectively.

INTERNATIONAL BREAKDOWN:
Retail	$	45,552	$	27,152	$	18,400	67.8	%

	$	58,743	$	33,407	$	25,336	75.8	%

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006
	Amount		%	Amount		%
Net sales	$	254,837	100.0%	$	196,745	100.0%
Cost of sales		119,103	46.7%		106,064	53.9%

Gross profit	$	135,734	53.3%	$	90,681	46.1%

Cost of sales decreased as a percentage of net sales from 53.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 46.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was primarily related to the increase in the number of retail locations opened during 2007 and the underlying higher margin of gross profit that was realized in the retail as opposed to the wholesale channel. Decrease in the cost of sales is also a result of better operational efficiencies realized through production during

166

the nine months ended September 30, 2007. During that period AAI was operating closer to its normal production capacity and was therefore able to absorb higher amounts of overhead costs into inventory costs rather than recognize these costs as period costs. A portion of the cost of sales decrease, as a % of net sales also relates to the fact that as of September 30, 2006, AAI had to increase its provision for slow-moving inventory due to inventory obsolescence concerns. This provision amounted to a cost of approximately $1,161 and accounted for approximately 1% of the net sales for the period.

Gross Profit. The following table sets forth AAI’s gross profit as a percentage of net sales by segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The overall increase in the gross profit percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is a result of better efficiency in the US wholesale segment as AAI was manufacturing close to normal capacity, as well as the product mix (higher retail sales) in the total sales. This increase in gross profit is a result of an increased amount of sales being generated from US Retail, International as well as a portion of US Wholesale segment related to the online sales. Increase in international gross profit is a result of growth in international online sales and the addition of new retail stores which generate higher margins. A higher percentage of sales from retail sales and online sales generate higher margins through a lower cost of sales percentage.


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006		% Change
	%		%
US Wholesale	27.9	%	22.3	%	5.6	%

Selling. Selling expenses by segment, together with unallocated corporate selling, advertising and promotion expenses, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased an aggregate of 39.4%, as set forth in table below. These expenses represented 28.5% and 26.5%, respectively of the total net sales for the periods.


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006		$ Change		% Change
	Amount		Amount		$ Change		% Change
US – Wholesale	$	10,466	$	7,393	$	3,073	41.6	%

	$	72,631	$	52,102	$	20,529	39.4	%

Increases in selling expenses are primarily due to the increase in total retail stores (from 118 to 140), both in the U.S. and internationally, as well as, the strategic promotional advertising of the Company’s brands and product styles throughout all of its segments. Selling expenses by type for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006		$ Change		% Change

Tradeshows, travel, promotions		3,232		2,613		619	23.7	%
Other		1,474		368		1,106	300.5	%

Total	$	72,631	$	52,102	$	20,529	39.4	%

167

The net increase in selling expense is attributable to the following: Advertising & catalogs costs increased mainly due to the promotions for new store openings, as well as, the strategic promotional advertising of the Company’s brands and product styles, AAI boosted advertising efforts through print ads, magazines and online media. Payroll costs increased as a result of increased staffing levels to support new store openings. Opened stores increased from 118 to 140. Rents, utilities, store maintenance & store supplies, travel, promotions and other expenses also increased due to company expansion driven by new store openings and as a result of new Lease Agreements entered into for new stores. Tradeshow expenses increased as a result of the additional emphasis on marketing efforts for the brand.

Warehouse and Distribution. Warehouse and distribution expenses by segment, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are set forth in the following table. These expenses represented 1.9% and 2.2%, respectively of the total net sales for the periods. Increase in International warehouse and distribution expenses is primarily due to an increase in transportation costs (such as import fees, duties and carrier costs) to distribute the merchandise to international subsidiaries and the increase also related to an increased number of international locations where merchandise is shipped.

Total	$	4,956	$	4,295	$	661	15.4	%

The net increase in warehouse and distribution expense is attributable to increase in staffing necessary to support increased volume and sales growth in wholesale sales, as well as to the increase in the international distribution expenses described above.

General and Administrative.

US Wholesale segment’s general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher levels of staffing necessary to support the expansion of AAI. The US Retail segment’s general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the increase in administrative staff to support new retail stores. Specific increased expense items include credit card fees, depreciation and amortization, and payroll. The increase in the International segment’s general and administrative expenses was likewise primarily due to the additional staffing and administrative structure required to support a higher number of retail locations. Specific increased expense items include depreciation and amortization, payroll and rents.

The increase in unallocated corporate expenses was also due to increased administrative staffing required to support the growth of the Company and provide support structure for AAI after the combination with Endeavor. Unallocated corporate expenses mainly include, professional services, consulting fees, information systems, insurance, legal and financial services provided by the corporate headquarters in Los Angeles.

Professional fees increased due to additional costs incurred in the proposed business combination with Endeavor.

Interest Expenses. The major components of interest expense are interest on the outstanding revolving credit facility, loans from related and unrelated parties and term loan for a private investment firm. AAI increased its levels of debt primarily in order to finance its expansion and buildout of retail stores opened during the period. Financing was also used to purchase additional manufacturing and information systems equipment required to support higher manufacturing throughout required to support increased sales in all segments.

This increase is a result of increased wholesale sales of $6,124 or 5.0% and increased US online sales of $3,658 or 68.1%. We believe the online sales segment will continue to grow as a percentage of our total annual net sales in the future.

US Retail. Net sales for the US retail store segment increased $34,678 or 76.2%, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 to the comparable 2005 period, fueled by the addition of retail outlets in key markets within the US.

The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales is primarily related to a shift in American Apparel’s sales mix. Cost of sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 is as follows:


	Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2006				Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005

The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales of 1.4% was caused by AAI’s sales mix. A higher percentage of our sales were from retail sales with a lower cost of sales percentage as compared to wholesale sales. The overall decrease was partially offset by an increase in the inventory reserve and unabsorbed overhead. During 2005 and the first half of 2006, AAI increased production of certain styles and introduced certain new styles which would be needed to support the anticipated further expansion into the retail channel in 2006. Due to the changing sales mix in 2006 and the increase in retail sales, AAI’s growth in overall sales volume was substantially faster than the growth in the number of units sold. However, while evaluating the inventory obsolescence reserves for 2006, it became evident that certain styles did not achieve expected sales levels. As a matter of policy, AAI keeps stock of a wide variety of styles, sizes and colors in order to keep commitments to customers and be responsive to customer needs.

Nevertheless, in the later part of 2006 AAI considered the possibility of having an excess of certain styles on hand. As there is no assurance that demands for these styles will materialize, AAI increased its reserve for slow-moving inventory from $800 as of December 31 2005 to $4,284 as of December 31, 2006. The overall decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales was also offset by costs not absorbed by production caused by financing constraints in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 as well as the increased costs resulting from rapid introduction of multiple new styles for the retail channel. Gross profit increased as a percentage of sales, from 46.3% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to 47.7% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.

Gross Profit. The overall increase in the gross profit percentage for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 is a result of the change in sales mix. A higher percentage of our sales are coming from retail sales at a higher gross margin. American Apparel’s US Retail and International segments (domestic and foreign) have generated an increased percentage of net sales during 2006 as compared to 2005. American Apparel’s US Retail and International segments have higher gross margins as compared to its US Wholesale segment. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales by segment for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 is as follows:


	Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2006		Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005		% Change
	%		%		% Change
US – Wholesale	22.9	%	31.0	%	(8.1	)%
US – Retail	78.5	%	82.5	%	(4.0	)%
International	68.3	%	67.9	%	0.4	%

Total	47.7	%	46.3	%	1.4	%

The US wholesale decrease in the gross profit percentage for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to year ended December 31, 2005 is a result of an increase to the reserve for slow-moving inventory of $3,484 Representing 2.5% of the decrease. In addition, the decrease in gross profit was also a result of a slowdown in production in the last quarter of 2006. As a result of a slowdown in production, a lower amount of overhead was absorbed into inventory and a significant amount of overhead was recognized as a component of cost of sales in that period. Consequently, US wholesale gross profit was reduced from 31.0% to 22.9%.

US Retail gross profit decreased from 82.5% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to 78.5% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. This decrease is primarily caused by the purchasing price from the US wholesale segment. During 2006, US wholesale costs increased and these increased costs were passed on to the US Retail segment. The increased costs were primarily caused by the higher fabric and yarn costs.

International gross profit increased from 67.9% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to 68.3% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. This increase is primarily caused by the sales product mix. A higher percentage of sales from retail and online sales generate a higher gross profit margin through a lower cost of sales percentage as compared to wholesale sales.

Gross Profit. Gross profit dollars increased from approximately $46,934 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $87,058 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.

As a percentage of sales this represented a drop from 3.2% of sales down to 2.2%.

Nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with nine months ended September 30, 2006

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were approximately $33,100, a $7,263 or 28.1% increase from the sales of approximately $25,837 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Retail sales for the period increased to $22,906 from $15,955. This increase of $6,951 is attributable to the increase in comparable store sales of $3,667, or 23.0% with the balance of the increase of $3,284 due to the opening of three additional stores from September to December 2006 and the closing of one existing store from January 2007 through September 2007 for a total of 25 stores as at September 30, 2007. The main contributing factor in the increase of retail sales from 2006 to 2007 is due to the greater variety of items being sold at our stores and the remerchandising of our stores to better display our products. During the period, American Apparel expanded its fabric offerings which facilitated introduction of new styles across the wholesale and retail distribution channels. As many as thirty new styles were added to the retail distribution channel of which the most notable was the addition of denim products. While many of the new accounts have placed small initial orders we feel that they provide additional basis for future growth of the wholesale segment.

Wholesale sales increased to $10,194 in 2007 from $9,881 in 2006 for a total increase of $313 or 3.1%. This increase can be attributed to our increased efforts to expand our wholesale clientele which led to opening of 442 new accounts.

Gross profit increased 30.2% from approximately $16,167 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to approximately $21,056 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Retail gross profit has increased to $17,041, or 74.4% of sales, for 2007 from $11,601, or 72.7% of sales, for 2006. The increase in our retail gross profit percentage is mainly attributable to favorable exchange rates for purchases denominated in US dollars. Wholesale gross profit decreased to $4,015, or 39.4% of sales, in 2007 from $4,565, or 46.2% of sales, in 2006. The decrease in our wholesale gross profit can be attributed mainly to lower prices which were set to increase our sales volume and remain competitive in the wholesale market. The increase in gross profit to 63.6% of sales in 2007 from 62.6% of sales in 2006 can be attributed to a greater percentage of our total sales coming from retail versus wholesale with the higher gross profit percentage earned on retail sales.

General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $5,802 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $3,991 for the same period in 2006. Retail general and administrative expenses increased to $3,676 in 2007 from $1,573 in 2006 due to an increase in management fees paid to the shareholder from $1,274 in 2006 to $2,750 in 2007. Retail professional fees increased to $601 in 2007 from $135 in 2006 mainly due to the increased reporting standards necessitated by the Endeavor transaction.

Wholesale general and administrative expenses decreased to $2,127 in 2007 from $2,418 in 2006. Wholesale management fees paid to the shareholder decreased to $250 in 2007 from $550 in 2006 while wholesale professional fees increased to $264 in 2007 from $179 in 2006 mainly due to the increased reporting standards necessitated by the Endeavor transaction

Selling expenses increased to approximately $10,004 in 2007 from $8,854 in 2006. Retail selling expenses increased to $8,961 in 2007 from $7,856 in 2006 and wholesale selling expenses increased to $1,043 from $997 during this same period. Retail salaries and wages increased to $3,370 in 2007 from $2,872 in 2006 and retail rent increased to $3,189 in 2007 from $2,750 in 2006. Both of these increases can be mainly attributed to our opening of three new stores in the last half of 2006.

Warehouse and distribution expenses increased to $2,488 in 2007 from $2,143 in 2006. Retail warehouse salaries increased from $683 in 2006 to $1,296 in 2007 due to the extra labor required for the increased sales volume in 2007 while wholesale warehouse salaries decreased to $821 in 2007 from $1,040 in 2006.

Interest expense increased from approximately $803 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to approximately $997 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This increase is attributable to the additional financing required for the capital expenditures of $789 for new store openings and the extra inventory of $221 needed for these stores and to the imputed interest on the increased long-term debt from the shareholder. The long-term debt from the same holder increased from $2,676 as of September 30, 2006 to $ 3,785 as of September 30, 2007 while the related imputed interest increased from $236 in 2006 to $485 in 2007.

Income tax provision increased from approximately $259 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to approximately $812 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to our higher profits. The effective tax rate was 32% for both 2006 and 2007.

Net income increased from approximately $117 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to a profit of approximately $959 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to the changes described above.

Twelve months ended December 31, 2006 compared with twelve months ended December 31, 2005.

Net sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 were approximately $34,658, a $5,375 or 18.4% increase from the sales of approximately $29,283 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.

Retail sales for the year increased to $22,014 from $15,596. This increase of $6,418 is attributable to the increase in comparable store sales of $1,568, or 10% with the balance of the increase due to the opening of six additional stores during the year for a total of 26 stores open as at December 31, 2006. The increase in comparable sales can be attributed to concentrated efforts to consistently and reliably provide high quality service and product. During the period, American Apparel expanded its fabric offerings which facilitated introduction of new styles across the wholesale and retail distribution channels. As many as thirty new styles were added to the retail distribution channel of which the most notable was the addition of denim products. Staff attendance to customer needs and our increasing product assortment has generated loyalty from repeat customers and has sparked interest in consumers new to American Apparel through word of mouth.

Wholesale sales decreased to $12,644 in 2006 from $13,687 in 2005 for a total decrease of $1,043 or 7.6%. This decrease can be attributed to the change of focus to our retail activities from our wholesale operations.

Gross profit increased 22.4% from approximately $17,817 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to approximately $21,806 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. Retail gross profit has increased to $16,963, or 77% of sales, for 2006 from $11,840, or 76% of sales, for 2005. Wholesale gross profit decreased to $4,843, or 38% of sales, in 2006 from $5,977, or 44% of sales, in 2005. The decrease in our wholesale gross profit percentage can be attributed mainly to lower pricing due to the highly competitive nature of the industry in Canada. The increase in the over all gross profit to 63% of sales in 2006 from 61% of sales in 2005 can be attributed to a greater percentage of total sales coming from retail with a higher gross profit percentage. In 2006 retail sales accounted for 64% of total sales and in 2005 retail sales accounted for just 53% of total sales.

General and administrative expenses increased from $4,786 for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $5,178 in the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was mainly due to the fact that retail general and

185

administrative increased from $1,245 in 2005 to $2,209 in 2006. Retail management fees increased to $1,620 in 2006 from $700 in 2005. Wholesale general and administrative expenses decreased to $2,969 in 2006 from $3,540 in 2005. Wholesale general and administrative salaries and wages increased from $811 in 2005 to $1,187 in 2006. Administrative salaries went up because of the additional personnel required due to the growth of the company. Offsetting this increase was a decrease in wholesale management fees which decreased from $1,598 in 2005 to $700 in 2006 and this accounted for the majority of the decrease in overall wholesale general and administrative expenses.

Selling expenses increased to $11,848 in 2007 from $9,819 in 2006. Retail selling expenses increased to $11,167 in 2006 from $8,873 in 2005. Retail selling rent increased to $3,833 in 2006 from $2,650 in 2005 due to the additional stores opened in 2006. Retail advertising and promotion increased to $938 in 2006 from $543 due to our efforts to both build awareness and promote new and existing stores. Retail selling depreciation and amortization increased to $1,373 in 2006 from $886 in 2005 due to the additional capital expenditures for the new stores that we opened during the year. Retail salaries and wages increased by $139 mainly due to the opening of six new stores and the increase in sales volume in our existing stores. Wholesale selling expenses decreased to $681 in 2006 from $946 in 2005 mostly due to the reduction of our wholesale advertising and promotion by $260. This reduction was due to a redirection of some of our advertising from wholesale to retail.

Warehouse and distribution expenses increased to $3,446 in 2006 from $2,439 in 2005. Retail warehouse and distribution expenses increased to $1,324 in 2006 from $513 in 2005. This increase was due to an increase in retail warehouse salaries of $1,066. The increase in retail warehouse salaries is attributable to the expansive growth of the company and the additional stores opened during the year. Wholesale warehouse and distribution expenses increased to $2,122 in 2006 from $1,927 in 2005, Wholesale warehouse salaries increased by $177 from $1,277 in 2005 to $1,454 in 2006. This increase was due to wholesale warehouse staff that support both retail and wholesale operations.

Interest expenses increased from approximately $642 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to approximately $1,151 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. This increase is attributable to the additional financing required for the capital expenditures of $1,642 incurred in opening new stores during the year the additional inventory of $600 required to stock the new stores and the increase in imputed interest on shareholders long-term debt. The long-term debt from the shareholder increased from $1,825 in 2005 to $5,098 in 2006 while the related imputed interest increased from $185 in 2005 to $323 in 2006.

Income tax provision increased from approximately $138 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to approximately $271 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 due to the higher pre-tax income and the higher non-deductible imputed interest as discussed above. The effective tax rate for both years was 32%.

Net loss increased from approximately $7 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to a loss of approximately $89 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in salaries, rent and interest as described above.

Twelve months ended December 31, 2005 compared with twelve months ended December 31, 2004 (unaudited)

Net sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 were approximately $29,283, an $11,904 or 68.5% increase from the sales of approximately $17,379 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.

Retail sales for the year increased to $15,596 from $4,004. This increase of $11,592 is attributable to the increase in comparable store sales of $1,051, or 26% with the balance of $10,541 the increase due to the opening of 11 additional stores during the year for a total of 20 stores at December 31, 2005. The main contributing factor in the increase of retail sales from 2005 to 2006 is due to the greater variety of items being sold at our stores. We went from approximately 6,000 SKU’s as at December 31, 2004 to approximately 12,000 SKU’s as at December 31, 2005.

Wholesale sales increased to $13,687 in 2005 from $13,374 in 2004 for a total increase of $313 or 2.3%.

Gross profit increased 107.3% from approximately $8,593 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $17,817 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. Retail gross profit has increased to $11,840, or 76% of sales, for 2005 from $2,585, or 65% of sales, for 2004. Wholesale gross profit decreased to $5,977, or 44% of sales, in 2005 from $6,007, or 45% of sales, in 2004. The increase in retail gross profit percentage is due to our higher pricing that we implemented after gaining experience from our first full year in retail in 2004. The decrease in our wholesale gross profit percentage can be attributed mainly to lower pricing due to the highly competitive nature of the industry in Canada. The increase in the over all gross profit to 61% of sales in 2005 from 49% of sales in 2004 can be attributed to a greater percentage of total sales coming from retail with a higher gross profit percentage. In 2005 retail sales accounted for 53% of total sales and in 2004 retail sales accounted for just 23% of total sales.

General and administrative expenses increased to $4,786 for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $3,531 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Selling expenses increased from approximately $3,261 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $9,819 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. Salaries and wages increased by $2,565 mainly due to the opening of eleven new stores and the increase in sales volume in our existing stores. Rent increased by $2,151 due to the opening of new stores. Advertising and promotion increased by $686 due to our successful efforts to both build awareness and promote new and existing stores Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from approximately $225 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $914 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. This increase was due to the additional capital expenditures necessitated by the opening of 11 new stores in 2005.

Warehouse and distribution expenses increased to $2,439 in 2005 from $1,276 in 2004. Warehouse salaries increased by $682 in 2005 due to the increased labor force required to service the more than doubling of our retail outlets during the year.

Interest expense increased from approximately $343 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $642 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. This increase is attributable to the additional financing required for the capital expenditures of $3,441 incurred in opening of new stores the additional inventory of $1,751 required to stock the new stores and the increase in the imputed interest on the shareholder’s long-term debt. The long-term debt from the shareholder increased from $812 in 2004 to $1,825 in 2005 while the related imputed interest increased from $73 in 2004 to $185 in 2005.

Net profit decreased from approximately $111 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 to a loss of approximately $7 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in expenses necessitated by our rapid retail expansion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Capital Resources – AAI

American Apparel generally funds its operations and working capital needs through cash generated from operations and borrowings under its credit facilities, term loans and promissory notes.

The typical cash flow cycle from operations is as follows:

•

Yarn inventory is purchased to meet expected demand plus a safety stock. The yarn supplied from the United States and Mexico is generally purchased directly from the yarn mills while yarn from Pakistan and other countries is purchased through yarn brokers. Payment terms for these vendors average 60 days from the date the product ships from the mill in the United States or Mexico and from other sources, from the US warehouse or US entry point of direct shipments. Increased sales have resulted in increased levels of inventory, and therefore an increase in the amount of cash required to fund inventory levels. The growth in the number of worldwide retail stores has resulted in increased levels of finished goods inventory at retail and back up inventory at the distribution centers. The need to respond quickly to trends and product demand has also resulted in higher inventory levels at the intermediate stages, greige goods and dyed fabrics, to permit faster product completion in our vertically integrated manufacturing system. The seasonality of our products in both the retail and wholesale channels would generally result in an overall inventory buildup in the first quarter to be positioned properly to support sales in the second and third quarters.

•

Sales to wholesale customers generally have payment terms of 30 days. The increased sales have resulted in an increase in the level of accounts receivable, and therefore have increased the amount of cash required to fund working capital.

A summary of inventory and trade accounts receivable for AAI were as follows:


	September 30, 2007 (Unaudited)		December 31, 2006		December 31, 2005		December 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
Inventory	$	91,324	$	76,470	$	67,534	$	47,072
Trade Receivables		20,497		13,969		12,111		12,035

As of September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, AAI maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,997, $2,163, $1,085 and $864, respectively. For the same periods, AAI’s provision for slow moving inventories was $4,284, $4,284, $800 and $200, respectively. AAI’s allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of trade receivables decreased from approximately 15% at December 31, 2006 down to approximately 10% at September 30, 2007. This decrease is due to several key factors. A certain portion of the aged trade accounts receivable associated with AAI’s foreign operations were written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after they were deemed uncollectible. In addition, parallel with its expansion into international markets, AAI has experienced an improvement in accounts receivable turnover during the six month period ended September 30, 2007 which allowed for an adjustment in the estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts.

American Apparel has been able to fund its increased working capital through an asset-based line of credit with a bank. The lender follows a borrowing base formula that allows advances based on the levels of accounts receivable and inventory and various other conditions. In addition, American Apparel also has term loans with banks and various notes payable.

A major portion of capital expenditures for American Apparel are for production machinery and information systems. Decisions to purchase equipment and machinery are based upon the planning for required inventory levels. Certain types of equipment are more efficient at production of certain styles so that the desired inventory mix may also influence the decisions made regarding the types of equipment and machinery that are being purchased.

Another major portion of capital expenditures are made for leasehold improvement costs related to retail store openings as well as for continuing store operations. These leasehold improvements are capitalized of the shorter of either the life of the lease or the useful lives of improvements.

Going forward, American Apparel’s management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional funding and if necessary, negotiating waivers to certain loan covenants with its existing lenders. However, no assurance can be provided that American Apparel will obtain the additional funding or that its lenders will grant waivers if there are further covenant violations.

American Apparel’s strategy for funding its business going forward is a combination of the following: increased profitability; increased borrowing lines as required with traditional lenders (asset-based); and utilization of the proceeds available from the business combination with Endeavor to fund its business as well as

189

potential acquisitions. These proceeds could potentially be used to pay off the existing debt; fund working capital increases; fund acquisitions of other businesses and pay dividends to current AAI stockholders for their income tax liabilities. Even if the existing debt is paid down, it is likely that AAI will continue to maintain available lines of credit on an asset-backed basis in order to fund working capital needs in the future.

Over the past year, AAI’s growth has been funded through a combination of borrowings from related and unrelated parties, bank debt and lease financing. As of September 30, 2007 AAI had approximately $6.5 million in unrestricted cash. On January 18, 2007, AAI completed a $41 million secured debt financing with SOF Investments. During July 2007, AAI executed an agreement to obtain an additional $10 million in financing from SOF Investments. During July 2007, AAI also replaced its revolving credit facility of $62.5 million with an increased revolving facility of $75 million from LaSalle Bank. AAI believes that as a result of this it currently has sufficient cash and financing commitments to meet its funding requirements through at least September 2008. AAI expects that it will need to obtain additional financing in order to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing might be available.

Cash Flow Overview—The CI Companies (in thousands CDN$)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 CI companies had cash provided by operating activities as compared to cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This improvement was due in large part to the increased profitability of CI companies and the improved management of operating assets. As well, they did not open any new stores in the first half of 2007 so their cash requirements for additions to capital expenditures were reduced and their funds were used mainly to repay bank indebtedness. On September 30, 2007 their bank indebtedness was $885 with a credit facility allowing maximum borrowings of $4,500.

On September 30, 2007 their working capital was $2,263 as compared to negative working capital of $182 in 2006. Accounts receivable days outstanding improved to 47 days as at September 30, 2007 from 57 in 2006. Inventory decreased to $7,069 in 2007 from $8,948 in 2006. Inventory turnover has increased to 1.9 times in 2007 from 1.5 times in 2006.

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $5,961 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $117 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Cash used in investing activities was $2,118 representing property and equipment additions for this year together with advances given to the U.S. affiliate. In 2006 the cash used in investing activities was $937 and this was only related to additions to property and equipment.

Cash used in financing activities was $4,146 in 2007 versus cash provided of $1,032 in 2006. In 2007 this represented a pay down of bank indebtedness by CI companies as compared to an increase in bank indebtedness and long-term debt in 2006 which provided the bulk of their financing. This resulted in a decrease in cash of $303 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

CI companies’ principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs and to open new stores. These capital requirements have generally been satisfied by a combination of borrowings under their credit facility and the issuance of long-term debt to related parties.

Obligations Overview—AAI

Over the past year, AAI’s growth has been funded through a combination of borrowings from related and unrelated parties, bank debt and lease financing. As of September 30, 2007 AAI had approximately $6,490 in unrestricted cash. On January 18, 2007, AAI completed a $41 million secured debt financing with SOF Investments. During July 2007, AAI executed an agreement to obtain an additional $10 million in financing from SOF Investments. During July 2007, AAI also replaced its revolving credit facility of $62,500 with an increased revolving facility of $75,000 from LaSalle Bank. AAI believes that as a result of this it currently has sufficient cash and financing commitments to meet its funding requirements through at least September 2008 based upon matching store openings to available funding. AAI expects that it will need to obtain additional financing in order to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing might be available.

a) At September 30, 2007, revolving credit facility with LaSalle Bank provided for borrowings up to $75,000. Borrowings under the facility are subject to certain advance provisions established by the bank and are collateralized by substantially all assets of AAI. Interest under the agreement is at LIBOR (5.72% at September 30, 2007) plus 2.0% or the bank’s prime rate (8.25% at September 30, 2007), at AAI’s option. The interest rate was 7.72% at September 30, 2007. The facility was to expire in January 2010. The average borrowings during the nine months were $50,241. AAI’s stockholders personally guaranteed the borrowings. On January 18, 2007, AAI negotiated an increase in the size of its credit facility to $62,500. Among other requirements, this facility agreement included a subjective acceleration clause and required AAI to maintain a lock box. During July 2007, AAI replaced this revolving credit facility with an increased revolving credit facility of $75 million from LaSalle Bank which expires at the earlier of July 2, 2012 or thirty days prior to the maturity date of the loan agreement with the private investment firm (January 18, 2009) unless its refinanced on terms acceptable to the bank. Borrowings under the new facility are subject to certain advance provisions established by the bank and are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of American Apparel. No charges for early extinguishment of debt were incurred associated with this transaction. At September 30, 2007, AAI failed to meet certain covenants relating to its financing agreement with LaSalle Bank. Covenant violations of the LaSalle agreement included issuance of guarantees for leases outside of United States, cash advances to subsidiaries incorporated outside of United States and assignment of certain life insurance proceeds from AAI to the CI companies. These covenant violations triggered a cross default covenant violation with SOF Investments. As a result of these covenant violations, AAI was in default of provisions stipulated in its financing agreements with these two creditors. During November 2007, AAI obtained from LaSalle Bank and SOF waivers for the violation of these covenants effective September 30, 2007 and as at November 2007. During November 2007, AAI was in violation of a certain other debt covenant related to its financing agreement with LaSalle Bank. Specific violation included exceeding the annual capital expense spending limit as set forth at $17,500 by the credit facility agreement with LaSalle Bank. During November 2007, AAI obtained from LaSalle Bank a waiver for the violation of this covenant.

b) On January 18, 2007, AAI completed a $41 million secured debt financing with SOF Investments. The proceeds of the financing were used to repay AAI’s subordinated notes payable held by C3 Capital Partners, L.P., of $15,011 (including principal, interest and fees), and to repay its term loans with its bank of $5,600. Net proceeds related to the secured debt financing amounted to approximately $18 million. Indebtedness under the agreement bears interest at 16% per annum, payable monthly and matures on January 18, 2009. The agreement requires AAI to meet certain financial covenants. These covenants include fixed charge coverage ratio, annual capital expense limitation, minimum EBITDA, debt to EBITDA ratio, and adjusted debt to EBITDAR ratio. In the event AAI is in default under the agreement the interest rate increases to 21% per annum and the lender has the right to demand payment in full of all outstanding indebtedness. On July 2, 2007, AAI obtained an additional $10 million secured debt financing with SOF Investments under the same terms as the original agreement dated January 18, 2007. The agreement allows prepayments prior to January 18, 2008 at the present value of all scheduled payments of interest (whether in cash and in-kind) through the first anniversary of the Closing Date in respect of the amount so repaid discounted at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate. Subsequent to that date, any prepayment must include a prepayment premium equal to 3% of the amount prepaid. As discussed in (a) covenant violations of the LaSalle financing agreement triggered a cross default covenant violation with SOF Investments. As a result of these covenant violations, AAI was in default of provisions stipulated in its financing agreements with these two creditors. During November 2007, AAI obtained from LaSalle Bank and SOF waivers for the violation of these covenants effective September 30, 2007 and as at November 2007. During November 2007, AAI was in violation of a certain other debt covenant related to its financing agreement with LaSalle Bank. Specific violation included exceeding the annual capital expense spending limit as set forth at $17,500 by the credit facility agreement with LaSalle Bank. As a consequence, AAI also violated the cross-default covenant of its financing agreement with SOF Investments. During November 2007, AAI obtained from LaSalle Bank and SOF Investments waivers for the violations of these covenants.

c) At September 30, 2007, AAI had two term loans with South Bay Bank. The first loan is payable in monthly installments of $5, including interest at prime (8.25% at September 30, 2007) plus 1% through October

Obligations Overview—The CI Companies (in CDN$)

Long Term and Current Debt

The following is an overview of the CI companies’ long term and current debt. Payments due on these obligations are summarized in the table of contractual obligations below.

The CI companies have a line of credit facility with maximum borrowings of $4,500, due on demand, bearing interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 1% per annum payable monthly. This line of credit is secured by a $5,000 moveable hypothec and provides for a charge on the CI companies’ accounts receivable, inventory and all other moveable assets and by Section 427 under the Bank Act of Canada on inventory. A movable hypothec is a legal term used in Quebec civil law which is equivalent to the common law term, chattel mortgage. It is a real right on a movable property made liable for the performance of an obligation. It confers on the creditor the right to follow the property into whosoever hands it may be, to take possession of it or to take it in payment, or to sell it or cause it to be sold and, to have a preference upon the proceeds of the sale ranking.

The bank’s agreement contains various covenants which require the CI companies to maintain certain financial ratios and commitments as defined by the bank. As at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the CI companies were not in compliance with certain of these covenants. The bank has waived compliance with the obligation to meet these covenants as at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Certain of the CI companies have provided unlimited corporate guarantees to secure this credit facility. These guarantees are secured by either moveable hypothecs in the amount of $3,200 or general assignment agreements.

In addition to the line of credit facility, the CI companies have the following long term debt:

•

Various bank term loans, repayable in monthly capital installments aggregating $37 plus interest at rates ranging from the bank’s prime rate plus 2% to the bank’s prime rate plus 3% per annum, maturing at dates ranging from 2008 to 2011.

American Apparel Related Party Transactions

The following is a summary of transactions since January 1, 2006 to which American Apparel has been a party in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 and in which any of American Apparel’s executive officers, directors or stockholders had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Lim Buyout Agreement

Each of AAI and Messrs. Charney and Lim are parties to an agreement, dated as of November 9, 2006, pursuant to which Mr. Charney shall purchase all of the outstanding capital stock and membership interests of the American Apparel companies held by Mr. Lim in the Lim Buyout for $60 million in cash, plus an additional cash price equal to (1) $60 million divided by 365, (2) multiplied by 0.20, (3) multiplied by the number of days after May 1, 2007 the Lim Buyout is consummated. In the event that the Lim Buyout is not consummated by Mr. Charney prior to closing of the acquisition for any reason, Endeavor shall effect the Lim Buyout as part of the acquisition by paying Mr. Lim cash for all of his equity interests in the American Apparel companies. Since there is no economic incentive for Mr. Charney to effect the Lim Buyout, Endeavor will effectively be required to effect the Lim Buyout. If the acquisition were to be consummated on December 14, 2007, and Endeavor was required to effect the Lim Buyout on the same date, Endeavor would pay Mr. Lim approximately $67.8 million.

Employment Agreements

American Apparel has not entered into employment agreements or any other written employment arrangements with any of its named executive officers. American Apparel is a party to an employment agreement with one of its non-executive officers. The employment agreement provides that the executive is an “at-will” employee and her employment may be terminated at any time by the employee or the company upon notice. The employee’s base salary under the employment agreement is $150,000 and the employee shall be entitled to a vested guaranteed bonus of $37,500, payable each May 31st and December 31st. The initial term of the agreement is one year, such term to be automatically renewed for successive one-year period unless earlier terminated in accordance with the agreement. Under the employment agreement, the officer is entitled to participate in American Apparel’s general employee benefit plans in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans. The employment agreement also provides the officer with certain severance benefits.

In December 2005, American Apparel entered into an operating lease, which commenced on November 15, 2006, for its knitting facility with American Central Plaza, LLC. Mr. Charney and Mr. Lim’s spouse each hold a 25% membership interest in American Central Plaza. The remaining members of American Central Plaza are not affiliated with American Apparel. The monthly lease payments are $48 and the lease expires in November 2011, with a five year extension, at the option of American Apparel. A number of the property leases entered into by American Apparel require the consent of the lessor in the event of a change of control.

Inflation

Inflation affects the cost of raw materials, goods and services used by AAI. In recent years, inflation has been modest. However, high oil costs can affect the cost of all raw materials and components. The competitive environment somewhat limits the ability of AAI to recover higher costs resulting from inflation by raising prices. Although AAI cannot precisely determine the effects of inflation on its business, it is management’s belief that the effects on revenues and operating results have not been significant. AAI seeks to mitigate the adverse effects of inflation primarily through improved productivity and strategic buying initiatives. AAI does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its results of operations for the periods presented, except with respect to payroll-related costs and other costs arising from or related to government imposed regulations.

Financial Covenants and Credit Rating

AAI’s credit arrangements impose certain restrictions on AAI regarding capital expenditures and limit AAI’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, make repayments of indebtedness or amendments of debt instruments, pay distributions, create liens on assets and enter into sale and leaseback transactions, investments, loans or advances and acquisitions. Such restrictions could limit AAI’s ability to respond to market conditions, to provide for unanticipated capital investments or to take advantage of business or acquisition opportunities. AAI is in compliance with all covenants under its credit arrangements at September 30, 2007.

Seasonality

AAI experiences seasonality in its operations. Historically, sales during the second and third fiscal quarters have generally been the highest, with sales during the first fiscal quarter the lowest. This reflects the combined impact of the seasonality of the wholesale and retail segments. Generally, AAI’s retail segment has not experienced the same pronounced sales seasonality around the back-to-school and year-end holiday selling seasons as other retailers.

Accounting Pronouncements-Newly Issued

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of tax positions, and requires certain expanded disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. The AAI adopted the interpretation as of January 1, 2007 and such adoption did not have a material effect on the AAI’s consolidated financial statements (Note 17).

200

2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of SFAS No. 157 is encouraged. The AAI is currently evaluating the expected effect of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements and is currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.

In September 2006, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the AAI’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. AAI is currently evaluating the expected effect of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements and is currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.

The FASB ratified the consensuses reached in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-3”). The EITF reached a consensus that the scope of the Issue includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes. The presentation of taxes within the scope of this Issue on either a gross or a net basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. Furthermore, for taxes reported on a gross basis, AAI should disclose the aggregate amount of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if that amount is significant. The disclosures required under this consensus should be applied retrospectively to interim and annual financial statements for all periods presented, if those amounts are significant. AAI adopted EITF 06-3 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. AAI currently records its sales net of any value added or sales tax.

All other recently issued accounting pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on AAI’s consolidated financial statements.

Non-GAAP Discussion

In addition to its GAAP results, American Apparel considers non-GAAP measures of its performance. EBITDA, as defined below, is an important supplemental financial measure of American Apparel’s performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.

American Apparel presents EBITDA because it believes it provides an important measure of its financial performance. American Apparel defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before:

•

interest expense;

•

income taxes; and

•

depreciation and amortization.

201

•

“It does not include taxes. Because the payment of taxes is a necessary and ongoing part of operations, any measure that excludes taxes has material limitations.”

•

American Apparel’s management compensates for these limitations in considering EBITDA in conjunction with its analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net income (loss).

American Apparel had growth in EBITDA of approximately $22.4 million or 125.8% from EBITDA of approximately $18.0 million in the first nine months of 2006 to EBITDA of approximately $40.2 million in the first nine months of 2007.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

American Apparel’s exposure to market risk is limited to interest rate risk associated with American Apparel’s credit facilities and foreign currency exchange risk associated with American Apparel’s foreign operations.

Based on AAI’s interest rate exposure on variable rate borrowings at September 30, 2007, a one percentage point increase in average interest rates on AAI’s borrowings would increase future interest expense by approximately $42 per month. AAI determined these amounts based on approximately $50,359 of variable rate borrowings at September 30, 2007, multiplied this amount by 1% and divided by twelve. AAI is currently not using any interest rate collars or hedges to manage or reduce interest rate risk. As a result, any increase in interest rates on AAI’s variable rate borrowings would increase interest expense and reduce net income.

The majority of AAI’s operating activities are conducted in US dollars. Approximately 18% of AAI’s sales are denominated in other currencies such as Euros, or British Pounds Sterling. Nearly all of AAI’s production costs and material costs are denominated in US dollars although the majority of the yarn is sourced from outside the United States. A 10% change in the exchange rate of the US dollar with respect to the foreign countries where the company operates, in a scenario where the US dollar would appreciate against other currencies could have a significant impact on AAI’s earnings. We have estimated that for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, such a gain in the value of the US$ would have resulted in a decrease of approximately $3,100 in net income due to the United States being the source for the goods being sold as well as the effect on retail margins which is the primary sales channel in those markets. We have not, however, factored in our ability to raise prices in those markets to compensate for such an increase in the effective cost of our products in foreign markets.

203

While the CI companies purchases from AAI are denominated in US dollars, its operating activities and all of its sales are denominated in Canadian dollars. A 10% change in the exchange rate of the US dollar with respect to the Canadian dollar, in a scenario where the US dollar would appreciate against the Canadian dollar could have a significant impact on the CI companies’ earnings. We have estimated that for nine months ended September 30, 2007, such a gain in the value of the US$ would have resulted in a decrease of approximately $1,080 in net income of the CI companies due to the United States being the source for the goods being sold as well as the effect on retail margins which is the primary sales channel for the CI companies. We have not, however, factored in our ability to raise prices in the Canadian market to compensate for such an increase in the effective cost of our products in Canada.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors of Endeavor

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, Endeavor’s board of directors held five meetings. Although Endeavor does not have any formal policy regarding director attendance at annual stockholder meetings, Endeavor will attempt to schedule its annual meetings so that all of its directors can attend. Endeavor expects its directors to attend all board and committee meetings and to spend the time needed and meet as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities.

Independence of Directors

Endeavor will adhere to the rules of the American Stock Exchange in determining whether a director is independent. The board of directors of Endeavor also will consult with Endeavor’s counsel to ensure that the board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. The American Stock Exchange listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer of a company, who does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment. Consistent with these

208

considerations, the board of directors of Endeavor has affirmatively determined that, upon appointment to the board of directors of Endeavor on the closing of the acquisition, Messrs. Greene, Klein, Mayer, Miller, Samson, Singer and Thornton will be the independent directors of Endeavor.

Audit Committee

Effective December 21, 2005, Endeavor established an audit committee of the board of directors, which consists of Edward J. Mathias, as chairman, Jay H. Nussbaum and Richard Y. Roberts, each of whom is an independent director under the American Stock Exchange’s listing standards. Following the consummation of the acquisition, the members of the audit committee will be Messrs. Klein, Samson and Thornton, with Mr. Klein as Chairman.

The audit committee’s duties, which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

•

reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K;

•

discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements;

•

discussing with management and the independent auditor the effect on our financial statements of (i) regulatory and accounting initiatives and (ii) off-balance sheet structures;

•

discussing with management major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including our risk assessment and risk management policies;

•

reviewing disclosures made to the audit committee by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer during their certification process for our Form 10-Ks and Form 10-Qs about any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls or material weaknesses therein and any fraud involving management or other employees who have a significant role in our internal controls;

•

verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

•

reviewing and approving all related-party transactions including analyzing the shareholder base of each target business so as to ensure that we do not consummate a business combination with an entity that is affiliated with our management;

•

inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

•

pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

•

appointing or replacing the independent auditor;

•

reviewing proxy disclosure to ensure that it is in compliance with SEC rules and regulations;

•

determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work; and

•

establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies.

209

Financial Experts on Audit Committee

The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined under the American Stock Exchange’s listing standards. The American Stock Exchange’s listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.

In addition, we must certify to the American Stock Exchange that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication. The board of directors has determined that Edward J. Mathias currently satisfies, and upon consummation of the acquisition, Mr. Samson will satisfy, the American Stock Exchange’s definition of financial sophistication and also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.

During 2006, Endeavor’s independent registered public accounting firm rendered audit related services amounting to $14,000 related to the American Apparel transaction.

Tax Fees

During 2006, Endeavor’s independent registered public accounting firm rendered services to Endeavor for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning in the amount of $3,500.

All Other Fees

During 2005 and 2006, there were no fees billed for products and services provided by Endeavor’s independent registered public accounting firm other than those set forth above.

Audit Committee Approval

Since Endeavor’s audit committee was not formed until December 2005, the audit committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services although any services rendered prior to the formation of Endeavor’s audit committee were approved by Endeavor’s board of directors. However, in accordance with Section 10A(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, before Endeavor engages its independent accountant to render audit or non-audit services on a going-forward basis, the engagement will be approved by our audit committee.

210

Code of Ethics

In December 2005, our board of directors adopted a code of ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees as well as those of our subsidiaries. Requests for copies of our code of ethics should be sent in writing to Endeavor Acquisition Corp., 590 Madison Avenue, 21st Floor, New York, New York 10022.

Compensation Committee Information

Upon consummation of the acquisition, the board of directors of Endeavor will establish a compensation committee with Messrs. Greene, Mayer, Miller, Singer and Thornton as its initial members, each an independent director under the American Stock Exchange’s listing requirements, with Mr. Miller as Chairman. The purpose of the compensation committee will be to review and approve compensation paid to Endeavor’s officers and to administer American Apparel’s incentive compensation plans, including authority to make and modify awards under such plans. Initially, the only plan will be the 2007 performance equity plan.

Nominating Committee Information

Nominating Committee

Effective December 2005, Endeavor established a nominating committee of the board of directors, which consists of Kerry Kennedy, as chairman, and Robert B. Hersov, each of whom is an independent director under the American Stock Exchange’s listing standards. Following the acquisition, the members will be Messrs. Miller, Singer and Greene, each an independent director under the American Stock Exchange’s listing standards, with Mr. Singer as Chairman.

The nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others. The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in the Nominating Committee Charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated should be actively engaged in business endeavors, have an understanding of financial statements, corporate budgeting and capital structure, be familiar with the requirements of a publicly traded company, be familiar with industries relevant to our business endeavors, be willing to devote significant time to the oversight duties of the board of directors of a public company, and be able to promote a diversity of views based on the person’s education, experience and professional employment. The nominating committee evaluates each individual in the context of the board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group of persons that can best implement our business plan, perpetuate our business and represent shareholder interests. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time. The nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.

Election of Directors; Voting Agreement

The Endeavor Inside Stockholders and Mr. Charney will enter into a voting agreement at closing of the acquisition. The voting agreement will provide that Mr. Charney, on the one hand, and such Endeavor Inside Stockholders, on the other hand, will each designate four directors and mutually designate one additional directors to Endeavor’s board. Each of the parties to the voting agreement will vote for such designees as directors of Endeavor until immediately following the election that will be held in 2010. Endeavor will be obligated to have a board of directors comprised of nine members and to enable the election to the board of directors of the persons designated by the parties to the voting agreement. The voting agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex E. We encourage you to read the voting agreement in its entirety.

211

Immediately upon the consummation of the acquisition, the directors of Endeavor will be Messrs. Charney, Greene, Klein, Kowalewski, Mayer, Miller, Samson, Singer and Thornton. Under the terms of the voting agreement, Mr. Charney, on the one hand, and the Endeavor Inside Stockholders who are party to the voting agreement, on the other hand, have agreed to vote for the designees to Endeavor’s board of directors through the election in 2010 as follows:

•

in the class to stand for reelection in 2008—Messrs. Greene, Miller and Mayer.

•

in the class to stand for reelection in 2009—Messrs. Kowalewski, Klein and Singer.

•

in the class to stand for reelection in 2010—Messrs. Charney, Samson and Thornton.

Endeavor’s directors do not currently receive any cash compensation for their services as members of the board of directors. Our non-employee directors will receive annual stock option grants to purchase that number of shares of our common stock having an aggregate market value of $75,000 at the time of grant, with grants being made at the closing of the proposed acquisition and on each anniversary of service thereafter. See the section entitled “2007 Performance Equity Plan Proposal—Background.” Non-employee directors also will receive $1,000 for each board and committee meeting attended and shall be reimbursed for travel expenses incurred in connection with attending these meetings.

Executive Officers

As previously stated, Mr. Charney shall serve as chief executive officer and president of Endeavor and Ken Cieply shall serve as Chief Financial Officer following the consummation of the acquisition. In addition, following the closing, the board of directors of Endeavor may, in the normal course of its duties, in consultation with the chief executive officer, elect one or more individuals to serve the company as chief operating officer and chief information officer. It is currently anticipated that the successful candidate for each of these positions shall be familiar with the corporate responsibilities and obligations of officers of public companies, to shareholders, customers and the public. Further, it is currently anticipated that American Apparel’s current officers and employees (other than Mr. Lim) will continue in the same or substantially the same capacities with American Apparel after the acquisition.

Executive Compensation

No executive officer of Endeavor has received any cash or non-cash compensation for services rendered to Endeavor. Each executive officer has agreed not to take any compensation prior to the consummation of a business combination.

From inception through January 1, 2007, Endeavor paid $7,500 per month to Ironbound Partners Fund, LLC, for general and administrative services. Ironbound is an affiliate of Jonathan Ledecky, Endeavor’s president and secretary. This arrangement ceased as of January 1, 2007. From January 1, 2007 through April 2007, Endeavor paid a monthly rental of $3,000 for office space to an unaffiliated party. Endeavor was not required to pay any rent for space during from May 2007 through October 2007. Commencing November 1, 2007 Endeavor is required to pay a monthly rental of $2,500 to another unaffiliated party for office space for the benefit of their consultants. Other than the aforementioned fee paid to Ironbound, no compensation of any kind, including finders and consulting fees, have been or will be paid to any of Endeavor’s officers for services rendered prior to the closing of the acquisition. However, Endeavor’s executive officers are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Endeavor’s behalf such as identifying potential target business and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. As of the record date, an aggregate of approximately $254,000 has been reimbursed to them for such expenses.

Upon consummation of the acquisition, Endeavor will operate in the retail apparel industry. In connection with the acquisition of American Apparel, Endeavor will enter into an employment agreement with Mr. Charney for him to serve as Endeavor’s chief executive officer. It also is anticipated that Endeavor will hire and enter into employment agreements with a chief financial officer, chief operating officer and a chief information officer.

212

The policies of Endeavor with respect to the compensation of the aforementioned executive officers and other executive officers following the acquisition will be administered by Endeavor’s board in consultation with its compensation committee. This committee will be formed from the independent directors on Endeavor’s board following consummation of the acquisition. Messrs. Greene, Miller, Mayer, Singer and Thornton shall serve as its members. Mr. Miller will be the initial chairperson of this committee. The compensation policies followed by Endeavor will be intended to provide for compensation that is sufficient to attract, motivate and retain executives of outstanding ability and potential and to establish an appropriate relationship between executive compensation and the creation of shareholder value. To meet these goals, the compensation committee will be charged with recommending executive compensation packages to Endeavor’s board of directors.

It is anticipated that performance-based and equity-based compensation will be an important foundation in executive compensation packages as Endeavor believes it is important to maintain a strong link between executive incentives and the creation of shareholder value. Endeavor believes that performance and equity-based compensation can be an important component of the total executive compensation package for maximizing shareholder value while, at the same time, attracting, motivating and retaining high-quality executives. The employment agreements to be entered into by future executive officers of Endeavor and the adoption of the proposed 2007 performance equity plan reflect and will reflect what Endeavor believes is a focus on performance- and equity-based compensation. Since Endeavor will not have a compensation committee until completion of the acquisition, Endeavor has not yet adopted any formal guidelines for allocating total compensation between equity compensation and cash compensation for executives hired in the future.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overall, Endeavor will seek to provide total compensation packages that are competitive in terms of potential value to its executives, and which are tailored to the unique characteristics and needs of Endeavor within its industry in order to create an executive compensation program that will adequately reward its executives for their roles in creating value for Endeavor shareholders. Endeavor intends to be competitive with other similarly situated companies in its industry following completion of the acquisition.

The compensation decisions regarding Endeavor’s executives will be based on Endeavor’s need to attract individuals with the skills necessary for Endeavor to achieve its business plan, to reward those individuals fairly over time, and to retain those individuals who continue to perform at or above Endeavor’s expectations.

It is anticipated that Endeavor’s executives’ compensation will have three primary components—salary, cash incentive bonus and stock-based awards. Endeavor will view the three components of executive compensation as related but distinct. Although Endeavor’s compensation committee will review total compensation, Endeavor does not believe that significant compensation derived from one component of

compensation should negate or reduce compensation from other components. Endeavor anticipates determining the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on its view of internal equity and consistency, individual performance and other information deemed relevant and timely. Since Endeavor’s compensation committee will not be formed until consummation of the acquisition, Endeavor has not adopted any formal or informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of compensation.

In addition to the guidance provided by its compensation committee, Endeavor may utilize the services of third parties from time to time in connection with the hiring and compensation awarded to executive employees. This could include subscriptions to executive compensation surveys and other databases.

Endeavor’s compensation committee will be charged with performing an annual review of Endeavor’s executive officers’ cash compensation and equity holdings to determine whether they provide adequate incentives and motivation to executive officers and whether they adequately compensate the executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies.

213

Benchmarking of Cash and Equity Compensation

Endeavor believes it is important when making compensation-related decisions to be informed as to current practices of similarly situated publicly held companies in the apparel industries. Endeavor expects that the compensation committee will stay apprised of the cash and equity compensation practices of publicly held companies in the apparel and related industries through the review of such companies’ public reports and through other resources. It is expected that any companies chosen for inclusion in any benchmarking group would have business characteristics comparable to Endeavor, including revenues, financial growth metrics, stage of development, employee headcount and market capitalization. While benchmarking may not always be appropriate as a stand-alone tool for setting compensation due to the aspects of Endeavor post-acquisition business and objectives that may be unique to Endeavor, Endeavor generally believes that gathering this information will be an important part of its compensation-related decision-making process.

Compensation Components

Base Salary. Generally, Endeavor, working with the compensation committee, anticipates setting executive base salaries at levels comparable with those of executives in similar positions and with similar responsibilities at comparable companies. Endeavor will seek to maintain base salary amounts at or near the industry norms while avoiding paying amounts in excess of what Endeavor believes is necessary to motivate executives to meet corporate goals. It is anticipated base salaries will generally be reviewed annually, subject to terms of employment agreements, and that the compensation committee and board will seek to adjust base salary amounts to realign such salaries with industry norms after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience.

Annual Bonuses. Endeavor intends to utilize cash incentive bonuses for executives to focus them on achieving key operational and financial objectives within a yearly time horizon. Near the beginning of each year, the board, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee and subject to any applicable employment agreements, will determine performance parameters for appropriate executives. At the end of each year, the board and compensation committee will determine the level of achievement for each corporate goal.

The performance parameters for which executive officers are eligible to receive cash bonuses under the terms of the employment agreements to be executed in connection with the consummation of the acquisition will be set by the compensation committee each year, within 45 days of approval of such year’s annual budget.

Endeavor will structure cash incentive bonus compensation so that it is taxable to its employees at the time it becomes available to them.

Section 162(m). At this time, it is anticipated that one or more executive officer’s annual cash compensation may exceed $1 million, and Endeavor has accordingly made any plans to qualify for any compensation deductions under Section 162(m) of the Code. With some exceptions, Section 162(m) of the federal income tax laws will limit Endeavor’s deduction for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain covered employees (generally the Chief Executive Officer and four next highest-paid executive officers). Compensation paid to covered employees is not subject to the deduction limitation if it is considered “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The compensation committee shall reserve the discretion to provide compensation that is both market and performance-based. While it is anticipated that the compensation committee will consider the tax impact of any compensation arrangement, the compensation committee will evaluate such impact in light of Endeavor’s overall compensation objectives. The compensation committee will have the right to approve non-deductible compensation if the compensation committee believes it is in the best interests of Endeavor shareholders.

Equity Awards. Endeavor also will use stock options and other stock-based awards to reward long-term performance. Endeavor believes that providing a meaningful portion of its executives’ total compensation package in stock options and other stock-based awards will align the incentives of its executives with the

214

interests of Endeavor’s shareholders and with Endeavor’s long-term success. The compensation committee and board will develop their equity award determinations based on their judgments as to whether the complete compensation packages provided to Endeavor’s executives, including prior equity awards, are sufficient to retain, motivate and adequately award the executives.

Equity awards will be granted through Endeavor’s 2007 performance equity plan, which was adopted by Endeavor board and is being submitted to the stockholder of Endeavor for their consideration at the special meeting. All of Endeavor’s employees, directors, officers and consultants will be eligible to participate in the 2007 performance equity plan. The material terms of the 2007 Performance Equity Plan are further described in the section of this proxy statement entitled “2007 performance equity plan Proposal.” No awards have been made under the plan as of the date of this proxy statement. It is anticipated that all options granted under the plan in the future will have an exercise price at least equal to the fair market of Endeavor’s common stock on the date of grant.

Endeavor will account for any equity compensation expense under the rules of SFAS 123R, which requires a company to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation over the service period of the award. Accounting rules also will require Endeavor to record cash compensation as an expense at the time the obligation is accrued. Until Endeavor achieves sustained profitability, the availability to it of a tax deduction for compensation expense is not material to its financial position.

Severance Benefits. Endeavor currently has no severance benefits plan. Endeavor may consider the adoption of a severance plan for executive officers and other employee in the future. The employment agreements to be entered into by the persons who will initially serve as executive officers of Endeavor following consummation of the acquisition provide fore certain rights and obligations in the event of the termination of employment as more fully described in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Employment Agreements.”

Other Compensation. Endeavor will establish and maintain various employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, life insurance and 401(k) plans. These plans will be available to all salaried employees and will not discriminate in favor of executive officers. Endeavor may extend other perquisites to its executives that are not available to our employees generally.

Employment Agreement and Non-Competition Covenants

In connection with the consummation of the acquisition, Mr. Charney will enter into a three year employment agreement with Endeavor. Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Charney will serve full-time as the chief executive officer of Endeavor and American Apparel for an initial term of three years. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Charney will receive an annual base salary of $750,000. Mr. Charney also will be eligible to receive an annual bonus of 150% of his base salary upon the attainment by Endeavor of performance criteria to be established by its compensation committee as soon as practicable after consummation of the acquisition. Mr. Charney also will be eligible to receive a long-term bonus of 300% of his base salary upon the attainment by Endeavor of long-term performance criteria over the three-year term of this agreement, as established by the compensation committee as soon as practicable after consummation of the acquisition.

Each of Messrs. Charney and Lim has agreed in the Acquisition Agreement to refrain from competing with Endeavor or American Apparel or soliciting their respective employees or customers for a period of four years from the closing of the acquisition.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In July 2005, we issued 6,250,000 shares of our common stock to the Endeavor Inside Stockholders, comprised of the individuals set forth below for $25,000 in cash, at a purchase price of $0.004 share, as follows:

On July 28, 2005, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky advanced an aggregate of $225,000 to us, on a non-interest bearing basis, for payment of offering expenses on our behalf. These amounts were repaid out of proceeds of our initial public offering.

On March 8, 2007, Endeavor borrowed funds from Messrs. Watson and Ledecky. Endeavor issued two promissory notes in the amount of $75,000 each. The principal balance of these notes shall be repayable on the earlier of the consummation of Endeavor’s business combination with American Apparel or upon demand by Messrs. Watson and Ledecky. These promissory notes are noninterest bearing.

On April 30, 2007, Endeavor borrowed funds from Messrs. Watson and Ledecky. Endeavor issued two promissory notes in the amount of $87,500 each.

The principal balance of these notes shall be repayable on the earlier of the consummation of the Endeavor’s business combination with American Apparel or upon demand by Messrs. Watson and Ledecky. These promissory notes are non-interest bearing.

In November 2005, each of Mr. Ledecky and Tower Trust transferred 20,000 shares of common stock to Richard Y. Roberts, a director of ours, for $0.004 per share (for an aggregate purchase price of $160). Additionally, in November 2005, Mr. Ledecky and Tower Trust contributed to us a total of 2,500,000 shares of common stock, effectively increasing the average purchase price to $0.0067 per share, and reducing the number of shares of our common stock held by the Endeavor Inside Stockholders to 3,750,000 shares.

We also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Endeavor Inside Stockholders pursuant to which the holders of the majority of their aggregate shares will be entitled to make up to two demands that we register these shares pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the date of this prospectus. The holders of the majority of these shares may elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of common stock are released from escrow. In addition, these stockholders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to the date on which these shares of common stock are released from escrow. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

219

Each of the Endeavor Inside Stockholders also entered into a letter agreement with us and Ladenburg Thalmann pursuant to which, among other things:

•

each agreed to vote all of the shares originally issued to him in accordance with the majority of the IPO Shares if we solicit approval of our stockholders for a business combination;

•

if we fail to consummate a business combination by December 21, 2007, each agreed to take all reasonable actions within his power to cause us to liquidate as soon as reasonably practicable;

•

each waived any and all rights he may have to receive any distribution of cash, property or other assets as a result of such liquidation with respect to his Founder Shares;

•

each agreed to present to us for our consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or entity, any suitable opportunity to acquire an operating business, until the earlier of our consummation of a business combination, our liquidation or until such time as he ceases to be an officer or director of ours, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary obligations he might have. To that effect, Robert B. Hersov has pre-existing contractual and fiduciary obligations to Shine Media Acquisition Corp. Shine Media Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company formed to acquire a direct or indirect interest in an operating business in the media and advertising industry in the People’s Republic of China. Mr. Hersov will honor his pre-existing contractual and fiduciary obligations to Shine Media Acquisition Corp. and present all suitable business opportunities that he may identify to it. Accordingly, he may not present opportunities to us that otherwise may be attractive to Shine Media Acquisition Corp. unless such entity has declined to accept such opportunities;

•

each agreed that he and his affiliates will not be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation for services rendered to us prior to the consummation of our business combination; and

•

each agreed that he and his affiliates will not be entitled to receive or accept a finder’s fee or any other compensation in the event he or his affiliates originate a business combination.

Pursuant to an escrow agreement between Endeavor, the Endeavor Inside Stockholders and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), all of the shares listed above were placed in escrow, with Continental acting as escrow agent, pursuant to an escrow agreement, until the earliest of:

•

December 21, 2008;

•

Endeavor’s liquidation;

•

such date, following a business combination, that we consummated a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of Endeavor’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to Endeavor’s consummating a business combination with a target business;

•

such date, following a business combination, as the last sales price of our common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period.

During the escrow period, these shares cannot be sold, but the holders thereof will retain all other rights as stockholders, including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of common stock and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in shares of common stock, such dividends will also be placed in escrow. If Endeavor is unable to effect a business combination and liquidate, none of Endeavor’s Founders will receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds with respect to common stock owned by them prior to Endeavor’s initial public offering.

220

required to pay any rent for space during from May 2007 through October 2007. Commencing November 1, 2007 Endeavor is required to pay a monthly rental of $2,500 to another unaffiliated party for office space for the benefit of their consultants.

Other than the $7,500 per-month administrative fee and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses previously paid to Ironbound, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finders and consulting fees, will be paid to any of our founders or to any of their respective affiliates for services rendered to us prior to or with respect to the business combination.

We will reimburse our officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations.

From consummation of our IPO through the record date, Endeavor has borrowed an aggregate of $575,000 from Messrs. Watson and Ledecky. These loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing and will be repaid on the earlier of the consummation by Endeavor of a business combination or upon demand by Messrs. Ledecky and Watson; provided, however, that if a business combination is not consummated, Endeavor will be required to repay the loans only to the extent if has sufficient funds available to it outside of the trust account.

All ongoing and future transactions between Endeavor and any of its officers and directors or their respective affiliates, will be on terms believed by Endeavor to be no less favorable than are available from unaffiliated third parties and will require prior approval in each instance by a majority of the members of Endeavor’s board who do not have an interest in the transaction.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires Endeavor directors, officers and persons owning more than 10% of Endeavor’s common stock to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Based on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to Endeavor, or representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required, Endeavor believes that all applicable filing requirements were complied with during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and as required through September 30, 2007.

221

DESCRIPTION OF ENDEAVOR COMMON STOCK AND OTHER SECURITIES

General

The certificate of incorporation of Endeavor authorizes the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001. As of the record date, 19,910,745 shares of common stock were outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

Common Stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of the existing stockholders, including all officers and directors of Endeavor, have agreed to vote their respective shares of common stock owned by them immediately prior to the IPO in accordance with the vote of the public stockholders owning a majority of the shares of Endeavor’s outstanding common stock. This voting arrangement does not apply to shares included in units purchased in the IPO or purchased following the IPO in the open market by any of Endeavor’s stockholders, officers and directors. Endeavor’s stockholders, officers and directors may vote their shares in any manner they determine, in their sole discretion, with respect to any other items that come before a vote of Endeavor’s stockholders.

Endeavor will proceed with the acquisition only if the stockholders who own at least a majority of the shares of common stock sold in the IPO vote in favor of the acquisition and stockholders owning less than 20% of the shares sold in the IPO exercise conversion rights discussed below.

Endeavor’s board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

If Endeavor is required to liquidate, the holders of Endeavor common stock purchased in the IPO will be entitled to share ratably in the trust account, inclusive of any interest, and any net assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities. Holders of common stock issued prior to Endeavor’s IPO have agreed to waive their rights to share in any distribution with respect to common stock owned by them prior to the IPO if Endeavor is forced to liquidate.

Holders of Endeavor common stock do not have any conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock, except that the holders of Endeavor common stock acquired in the IPO have the right to have their shares of common stock converted to cash equal to their pro rata share of the trust account if they vote against the acquisition, properly demand conversion and the acquisition is approved and completed. Holders of common stock who convert their stock into their share of the trust account still have the right to exercise the warrants that they received as part of the units.

Preferred Stock

The certificate of incorporation of Endeavor authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of a blank check preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by Endeavor’s board of directors. Accordingly, Endeavor’s board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock, although Endeavor has entered into an underwriting agreement which prohibits Endeavor, prior to a business combination, from issuing preferred stock which participates in any manner in the proceeds of the trust account, or which votes as a class with the common stock on a business combination. Endeavor may issue some or all of the preferred stock to

222

effect a business combination. In addition, the preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of Endeavor. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding and Endeavor does not currently intend to issue any preferred stock.

Warrants

Endeavor currently has outstanding 16,160,745 redeemable common stock purchase warrants. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Endeavor’s common stock at a price of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the completion of the acquisition. The warrants expire on December 14, 2009 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time. Endeavor may call the warrants for redemption;

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $.01 per warrant at any time after the warrants become exercisable;

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

•

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $11.50 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders, which period may begin prior to consummation of the acquisition.

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Endeavor has agreed that in connection with any redemption of the warrants, Endeavor would afford all of the holders thereof the right and opportunity to exercise their warrants on a “cashless” basis utilizing the value of such warrants based on the difference between the then current market price per share of Endeavor common stock and the pre-share exercise price of the warrants.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or Endeavor’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below the exercise price.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified check payable to Endeavor, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No warrants will be exercisable unless at the time of exercise a prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the common stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of a warrant agreement, Endeavor has agreed to maintain a current prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, there is no assurance that Endeavor will be able to do so. The warrants may be deprived of any value and the market for the warrants may be limited if the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside. If Endeavor is unable to deliver securities pursuant to the exercise of a warrant because a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Endeavor common stock is not effective, then in no event would Endeavor be obligated to pay cash or other consideration to the holders of warrants or otherwise “net-cash settle” any warrant exercise.

223

NOTE 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Liquidity Matters

Over the past year, the Company’s growth has been funded through a combination of borrowings from related and unrelated parties, bank debt, and lease financing. As of September 30, 2007 the Company had approximately $6,490 in unrestricted cash. During July 2007, the Company executed an agreement to obtain an additional $10 million in financing from its private investment firm. The Company also replaced its revolving credit facility of $62,500 (Note 9) with an increased revolving facility of $75,000 from a new bank. The Company believes that as a result of this it currently has sufficient cash and financing commitments to meet its funding requirements through at least September 30, 2008. The Company expects that it will need to obtain additional financing in order to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing might be available. As of September 30, 2007, the Company failed to meet certain debt covenants relating to its financing agreements with its bank and private investment firm (Note 9). During November 2007, the Company obtained waivers from both the bank and its private investment firm for the violation of certain covenants. As a result of the waivers, the Company is currently in compliance with covenants set forth by the credit facility agreement and its term loan agreement and accordingly the loan balances as of September 30, 2007 are classified as long term obligations. During November 2007, the Company was in violation of a certain other debt covenant related to its financing agreement with its bank. Specific violation included exceeding the annual capital expense spending limit as set forth at $17,500 by the credit facility agreement with its bank. As a consequence, the Company also violated the cross-default covenant of its financing agreement with its private investment firm. During November 2007, the Company obtained from its bank and private investment firm waivers for the violations of these covenants.

As discussed above, Management has taken several actions to improve the financial position of the Company. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company not continue as a going concern.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Apparel, Inc. and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The financial information in this quarterly report reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the results for the interim period. Quarterly operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2007. The interim financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were not required to be reviewed and therefore were not reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm using professional review standards and procedures.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various 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. The most significant estimates include; sales returns

and other allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation and obsolescence, valuation and recoverability of long-lived intangible assets including the values assigned to acquired intangible assets, goodwill, property and equipment, income taxes; and accruals for the outcome of current litigation.

On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes product sales revenue when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, shipment and passage of title has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue from wholesale product sales and on-line product sales are recorded at the time the product is shipped to the customer. With respect to its own retail store operations, the Company recognizes revenue upon the sale of its products to retail customers. The Company’s net sales represent gross sales invoiced to customers, less certain related charges for discounts, returns, and other promotional allowances. Allowances provided for these items are presented in the consolidated financial statements primarily as reductions to sales and cost of sales (see “Sales Returns and Other Allowances” discussed below for further information).

The Company recognizes the sales from gift cards, gift certificates and store credits as they are redeemed for merchandise. Prior to redemption, the Company maintains an unearned revenue liability for gift cards, gift certificates and store credits until the Company is released from such liability. The Company’s gift cards, gift certificates and store credits do not have expiration dates. The unearned revenue for gift cards, gift certificates and store credits are recorded in accrued expenses in the amount of $809 and $597 at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Sales Returns and Other Allowances

Allowances For Sales Returns—The Company analyzes sales returns in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 48 “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists” (“SFAS 48”). The Company is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns for its wholesale, on-line product sales and retail store sales based on the Company’s past history. The Company also monitors the buying patterns of the end-users of its products based on sales data received by its retail outlets. Estimates for sales returns are based on a variety of factors including actual returns based on expected return data communicated to it by customers. Accordingly, the Company believes that its historical returns analysis is an accurate basis for its allowance for sales returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

As with any set of assumptions and estimates, there is a range of reasonably likely amounts that may be calculated for each allowance above. However, the Company believes that there would be no significant difference in the amounts reported using other reasonable assumptions than what was used to arrive at each allowance. The Company regularly reviews the factors that influence its estimates and, if necessary, makes adjustments when it believes that actual product returns, credits and other allowances may differ from established reserves. Actual experience associated with any of these items may be significantly different than the Company’s estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash (the amounts of which may, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits on insurable amounts) and trade accounts receivable, relating substantially to the Company’s US wholesale segment. The Company mitigates its risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. The Company has approximately $3,953 and $4,043 held in foreign banks at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information. Collections and payments from customers are continuously monitored. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon historical experience as well as specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such bad debt expenses have historically been within expectations and allowances established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that it has in the past. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Cash

The Company’s cash balances represent cash on deposit held at banks.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consists of trade receivables, including amounts due from credit card companies, net of allowances. Amounts due from credit card, debit card and electronic benefit transfer transactions as of September 30, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $2,257 And $1,213, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is primarily determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost elements of inventories include materials, labor and overhead. For the nine months ending September 30, 2007 and 2006 no one supplier provided more than 10% of the Company’s raw material purchases.

The Company identifies potentially excess and slow-moving inventories by evaluating turn rates, inventory levels and other factors. Excess quantities are identified through evaluation of inventory agings, review of inventory turns and historical sales experiences. The Company provides lower of cost or market reserves for such identified excess and slow-moving inventories. At September 30, 2007 and 2006 the Company had a reserve for slow-moving inventories of $4,284 and $1,961, respectively. The Company’s reserve for slow-moving inventories increased $0 and $1.61 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company establishes a reserve for inventory shrinkage for each of its retail locations. The reserve is based on the historical results of physical cycle counts.

in the year incurred. Expenditures which significantly improve or extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the lease term. Upon sale or disposition, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in operations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of companies acquired. Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The SFAS 142 goodwill impairment model is a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit that has goodwill assigned to its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit by using a discounted cash flow model. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be less than its carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of goodwill impairment, if any. Step two allocates the fair value of the reporting unit to the reporting unit’s net assets other than goodwill. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its net assets other than goodwill is considered the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is then compared to the carrying value of its goodwill. Any shortfall represents the amount of goodwill impairment. The Company has not had any goodwill impairment.

Other definite lived intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 10 years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). SFAS 144 requires evaluation of the need for an impairment charge relating to long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write down to a new depreciable basis is required. If required, an impairment charge is recorded based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges for its long-lived assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Foreign Currency

The financial statements of international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and an average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses, gains and losses. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are charged or credited to operations as incurred. Where the local currency is the functional currency (which is determined based on management’s judgment and involves consideration of all relevant economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiary) translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 the Company recognized foreign currency transaction gains of $20 and $436, respectively.

Income Taxes

The stockholders of American Apparel, Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries, American Apparel Retail, Inc., American Apparel Retail 1090 Third NYC, Inc., and American Apparel Dyeing and Finishing, Inc. elected subchapter S corporation status. Earnings and losses for Federal tax reporting purposes are included in the personal tax returns of the stockholders. Accordingly, the Company does not incur additional Federal income tax obligations, and the consolidated financial statements do not include a provision for Federal income taxes. American Apparel, Inc. expects to pay the necessary distributions to satisfy the stockholders’ estimated personal income tax aggregate personal liabilities based upon the Company’s taxable income. As defined in the definitive Acquisition Agreement with Endeavor Acquisition Corp. (“Endeavor”) (Note 22), upon consummation of the merger, the stockholders will receive distributions to satisfy the stockholders estimated personal tax liabilities, as defined per the agreement. This distribution will be for shareholders taxable income attributable to the subchapter S corporation status and for the period commencing January 1, 2006 through the effective date of the Acquisition Agreement. The distribution amount will be less all previous distributions made by the Company. For periods before January 1, 2006, the Company expects to pay the estimated tax liabilities of the individual stockholders. As of December 31, 2006, the estimated tax liabilities of the individual stockholders, attributable to the taxable income of the Company approximated $6,200. Through September 30, 2007, payments of $3,050 were made against these liabilities. Subsequent to September 30, 2007 and through October 31, 2007, additional payments of $400 were made against these liabilities. Where applicable, state income taxes are provided by the Company at applicable statutory rates multiplied by pre-tax income. The Company files income tax returns in various states. Some of these states accept subchapter S corporation status, while in some states, the Company is taxed at C Corporation tax rates and in the remaining states, the Company is taxed at reduced rates applicable to S corporations.

American Apparel Deutschland GmbH, American Apparel (UK) Limited, American Apparel (Carnaby) Limited, American Apparel Mexico S DE RL DE CU, American Apparel Mexico Labor, LLC, American Apparel Japan Co., Ltd., American Apparel Korea Co., Ltd. and American Apparel Retail (Israel), Ltd. are foreign domiciled entities subject to foreign income taxes on earnings in their respective jurisdictions.

KCL Knitting, LLC (“KCL”) is a limited liability company, classified as a pass-through entity for federal income tax purposes, which provides for profits and losses to be reported by American Apparel, Inc.

American Apparel, Inc. has unrecognized built-in gains of approximately $26 million resulting from its S corporation election. If any of the assets creating the unrecognized built-in gains are sold in the ten-year period ending July 1, 2014, AA is liable for Federal income taxes on those gains. The gain is determined by using the tax basis of the assets compared with the fair value of those assets at the time of the S corporation election. No deferred income taxes have been provided as the built-in gain relates primarily to intangible assets that are not expected to be sold within the ten year holding period.

The foreign entities have elected to be consolidated with the US entities for federal tax purposes. As such, all of the operations are included in the determination of the taxable income of American Apparel, Inc. Foreign income taxes paid internationally may be treated as foreign tax credits at the stockholder level as American Apparel, Inc. is taxed as an S corporation for federal tax purposes.

determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined that such assets will more likely than not go unused. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reversed. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, revolving line of credit, and long-term debt. The Company estimates that carrying amounts of all financial instruments described above approximate fair value based upon current market conditions, maturity dates, and other factors.

Advertising, Promotion and Catalog

The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the advertising takes place. The advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $8,177 and $4,686, respectively and were included in Selling expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has cooperative advertising arrangements with certain vendors in its US wholesale segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, cooperative advertising expenses were $364 and $301, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Deferred Rent, Rent Expense and Tenant Allowances

The Company occupies its retail stores and combined corporate office, manufacturing, and distribution center under operating leases generally with terms of one to ten years. Some leases contain renewal options for periods ranging from five to fifteen years under substantially the same terms and conditions as the original leases. Most of the store leases require payment of a specified minimum rent, a contingent rent based on a percentage of the store’s net sales in excess of a specified threshold, plus defined escalating rent provisions. The Company straight-lines and recognizes its rent expense over the term of the lease (including probable lease renewals), plus the construction period prior to occupancy of the retail location, using a mid-month convention. Also included in rent expense are payments of real estate taxes, insurance and certain common area and maintenance costs in addition to the future minimum operating lease payments. Certain lease agreements provide for the Company to receive lease inducements or tenant allowances from landlords to assist in the financing of certain property. These inducements are recorded as a deferred credit and amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the related lease.

Start-up Costs

The Company expenses as incurred all retail store start-up and organization costs, including travel, training, recruiting, salaries and other operating costs.

Web Site Development Costs

The Company capitalizes applicable costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage and expenses incurred during the planning and operating stage. As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had capitalized website development costs of $280 and $28, respectively, which are included in Property and equipment in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Self-insurance accruals

The Company self-insures a significant portion of expected losses under the workers’ compensation program. Accrued liabilities are recorded based on the Company’s estimates of the ultimate costs to settle incurred claims, both reported and unreported.

Comprehensive Income

In accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” the Company is required to display comprehensive income and its components as part of its complete set of financial statements (Note 17). Comprehensive income represents the change in stockholders’ equity resulting from transactions other than stockholder investments and distributions. Included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are changes in equity that are excluded from the Company’s net income, specifically, unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments.

The Company does not record deferred income taxes related to accumulated other comprehensive income due to its subchapter S election in the United States and the foreign entities are taxed as disregarded entities.

Seasonality

The company experiences seasonality in its operations. Historically, sales during the second and third fiscal quarters have generally been the highest, with sales during the first fiscal quarter the lowest. This reflects the combined impact of the seasonality of the wholesale and retail segments. Generally, the company’s retail segment has not experienced the same pronounced sales seasonality as other retailers.

Accounting Pronouncements-Newly Issued

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of tax positions, and requires certain expanded disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. The Company adopted the interpretation as of January 1, 2007 and such adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (Note 17).

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of SFAS No. 157 is encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the expected effect of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements and is currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.

In September 2006, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. The Company is currently evaluating the expected effect of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements and is currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.

The FASB ratified the consensuses reached in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-3”). The EITF reached a consensus that the scope of the Issue includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes. The presentation of taxes within the scope of this Issue on either a gross or a net basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. Furthermore, for taxes reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the aggregate amount of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if that amount is significant. The disclosures required under this consensus should be applied retrospectively to interim and annual financial statements for all periods presented, if those amounts are significant. The Company adopted EITF 06-3 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company currently records its sales net of any value added or sales tax.

All other recently issued accounting pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

technical corrections and address certain implementation issues that had arisen. FIN 46R provides a new framework for identifying variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements.

In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited liability corporation, trust or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principle activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations.

The Company identified an affiliate in Canada (“Canadian Affiliate”) that is determined to be a VIE under the provisions of FIN 46R. The Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE and, as a result, has not consolidated the entity at September 30, 2007 or 2006.

The Canadian Affiliate, which is indirectly owned by one of the Company’s 50% owners, has been in business since 1994. The Canadian Affiliate through its combined group of related companies operates 25 and 24 retail stores in Canada, that sell the Company’s products at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Canadian Affiliate’s total assets at September 30, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $17,642 USD and $16,376 USD, respectively. The Canadian Affiliate’s total equity was $2,772 USD and $1,571 USD at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company sells the Canadian Affiliate merchandise on credit, with payment due 60 days from delivery. As of September 30, 2007 and 2006 the Company had accounts receivable from the Canadian Affiliate of $— and $314, respectively, and accounts payable to the Canadian Affiliate of $660 and $—, respectively.

Key money is the amount of funds paid to a landlord or tenant to acquire the rights of tenancy under a commercial property lease for a certain property. Key money represents the “right to lease” with an automatic right of renewal. This right can be subsequently sold by the Company or can be recovered should the landlord refuse to allow the automatic right of renewal to be exercised. Key money is amortized over the respective lease terms.

Lease rights are costs incurred to acquire the right to lease a specific property. A majority of our lease rights are related to premiums paid to landlords. Lease rights are recorded at cost and are amortized over the estimated useful term of the respective leases. Property lease terms are generally for ten years.

Aggregate amortization expense of other definite lived intangible assets included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the caption “General and administrative” expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $53 and $69, respectively.

As of September 30, 2007 estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years is as follows:

(a)

At September 30, 2006, the revolving credit facility with a bank provided for borrowings up to $57,500. Borrowings under the facility were subject to certain advance provisions established by the bank and were collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company. Interest under the agreement was at LIBOR (5.32% plus 2.5% at September 30, 2006 or the bank’s prime rate (8.25% at September 30, 2006) plus 2.25%, at the Company’s option. The interest rate was 7.82% at September 30, 2006. The facility was to expire in January 2010. Stockholders of the Company personally guaranteed the borrowings. On January 18, 2007, the Company negotiated an increase in the size of its credit facility from $57,500 to $62,500. Among other requirements, this facility agreement included a subjective acceleration clause and required the Company to maintain a lock box.

On July 2, 2007, the Company replaced its secured revolving credit facility of $62,500 with an increased revolving credit facility of $75,000 from a new bank. The Company did not incur any losses for early extinguishment of debt with this transaction. Prepayment fees of $313 were expensed in July 2007. Borrowings under the facility are subject to certain advance provisions established by the bank and are collateralized by all assets of the Company. Interest under the agreement is at LIBOR plus 2% or Prime rate, at the Company’s option. The credit facility expires at the earlier of July 2, 2012 or thirty days prior to the maturity date of the loan agreement with the private investment firm (January 18, 2009) unless its refinanced on terms acceptable to the bank in December 2008. The credit facility agreement requires the Company to comply with certain covenants. The average borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $50,241 and $46,263, respectively.

Specific violation included exceeding the annual capital expense spending limit as set forth at $17,500 by the credit facility agreement with its bank. During November 2007, the Company obtained from its bank a waiver for the violation of this covenant. As a result of the waivers, the Company is currently in compliance with covenants set forth by the credit facility agreement and accordingly the loan balance as of September 30, 2007 is classified as a long term obligation.

The change in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment primarily relates to the Company’s investment in its foreign subsidiaries and fluctuations in exchange rates between their local functional currencies and the U.S. Dollar.

The Company does not record deferred income taxes relating to accumulated other comprehensive income due to their Subchapter S election in the U.S. and the foreign entities taxes as disregarded entities.

NOTE 17—Income Taxes

On January 1, 2007 the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 addresses the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Fin No. 48, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company did not recognize any additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption or as of September 30, 2007.

The Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and the calendar years ended December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2006. The Company has been contacted by the Internal Revenue Service to commence an audit of the 2005 calendar year tax return. The audit is currently in its initial stages. The Company and its subsidiaries’ state and foreign tax returns are also open to audit under similar statute of limitations for the same tax years. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefit position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

The Company accrues interest on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense. The Company had no such accrued interest or penalties included in the accrued liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption or as of September 30, 2007. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefit position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, the annual use of the Company’s general business credit carryforwards may be limited if there is greater than a 50% cumulative change in ownership.

The difference between the federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective tax rate of approximately 30% and 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, is due to applying the annual expected effective tax rate to the interim period. The difference between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is due to the impact of the Company’s S Corporation status for federal income tax purposes with no federal tax imposed, state income taxes, and foreign taxes.

The Company conducts retail operations under operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2020. Future minimum rental payments, including related party lease (Note 15) (excluding real estate tax and maintenance costs) for retail locations and other leases that have initial or noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year at September 30, 2007 are as follows:


	Amount
2008	$	26,222
2009		23,045
2010		20,236
2011		18,717
2012		17,374
Thereafter		55,252

Total	$	160,846

Operating lease rent expense (including real estate taxes and maintenance costs) and leases on a month to month basis were approximately $22,738 and $18,681 for the nine months ending September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company did not incur any contingent rent during the same period. Rent expense is included in Cost of sales and General and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Sales Tax

The Company has been contacted by the California State Board of Equalization in regard to scheduling a Sales and Use Tax audit for the period January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2004. No provision has been made for any future assessment, if any, which might be determined by the State Board of Equalization at the outcome of the audit.

No provision has been made for any future assessment, if any, which might be determined by the California Franchise Tax Board at the outcome of the audit. However, the California Enterprise Zone Tax Credits have a full valuation allowance at September 30, 2007 and 2006 (Note 17).

Internal Revenue Service

The Company has been contacted by the Internal Revenue Service in regard to performing an audit for the income tax year 2005. The audit commenced in 2007. At this time no determination can be made as to the outcome of the audit and therefore no provision has been made for any additional future assessment, if any, which might be determined by the Internal Revenue Service as the outcome of the audit.

Advertising

At September 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $1,929 in open advertising commitments, which primarily relate to print advertisements in various newspapers and magazines during the remainder of 2007 and 2008.

NOTE 19—Workers’ Compensation Self-Insurance Reserves

Self Insurance Reserves

The Company uses a combination of third-party insurance and/or self-insurance for a number of risks including workers’ compensation and general liability claims. General liability costs relate primarily to litigation that arises from store operations. Self-insurance reserves include estimates of both claims filed carried at their expected ultimate settlement value and claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company’s estimated claim amounts are discounted using a rate with a duration that approximates the duration of the Company’s self-insurance reserve portfolio. The Company’s liability reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet represents an estimate of the ultimate cost of claims incurred as of the balance sheet date. In estimating this liability, the Company utilizes loss development factors based on Company-specific data to project the future development of incurred losses. Loss estimates are adjusted based upon actual claim settlements and reported claims. These projections are subject to a high degree of variability based upon future inflation rates, litigation trends, legal interpretations, benefit level changes and claim settlement patterns. Although the Company does not expect the amounts ultimately paid to differ significantly from its estimates, self-insurance reserves could be affected if future claim experience differs significantly from the historical trends and the assumptions applied.

The workers’ compensation liability is based on estimate of losses for claims incurred, but not paid at year end. Funding is made directly to the providers and/or claimants by the insurance company. To guarantee performance under the workers’ compensation program, as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company has issued standby letters of credit in the amount of $5,940 and $3,256, respectively, with two insurance companies being the beneficiaries, through a bank along with cash deposits of $0 and $728 as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded a reserve of $4,511 and $2,041, respectively for potential losses on existing claims as such amounts are believed to be probable and reasonably estimable.

NOTE 20—Business Segment and Geographic Area Information

Segment Information

The Company’s management reporting system evaluates performance based on a number of factors; however, the primary measures of performance are the net sales and income or loss from operations of each segment, as these are the key performance indicators reviewed by management. Operating income or loss for each segment does not include corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense and other miscellaneous income/expense items. Corporate general and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to: human resources, legal, finance, IT and various other corporate level activity related expenses. Such unallocated expenses remain within corporate. The accounting policies of all operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2.

The Company reports the following segments: US Wholesale, US Retail and All Other. All of the Company’s sales fall into one of these segments. The US Wholesale consists of sales of undecorated apparel products made to third party embellishers and other apparel manufacturers directly as well as through distributors including sales to its Canadian Affiliate that operates 25 retail stores plus wholesale operations. Internet sales are also recorded in the US wholesale segment. US Retail is comprised of 96 Company owned retail stores operating in the United States selling the Company’s apparel products directly to consumers. The All Other segment comprises the international subsidiaries in Israel, continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Japan and Korea, which operate 44 retail stores along with wholesale operations. None of these operations meet any of the quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure, as defined in SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Disclosures.”

The following table represents key financial information of the Company’s business segments:

NOTE 21—Litigation

The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies in the ordinary course of its business, including those related to litigation, business transactions, employee-related matters and taxes, among others. When the Company is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company will record a liability for the loss. The liability recorded includes probable and estimable legal costs associated with the claim or potential claim. If the loss is not probable or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible and the amount involved could be material.

The Company is currently involved in matters with a few ex-employees who have either filed claims or state intentions to file various claims against the Company with the courts and regulatory agencies, which relate to alleged labor law violations, sexual harassment and other vague employment claims. One such claim against the Company was filed during 2005. During 2006, the Company was notified by two other ex-employees with respect to potential claims against the Company. One of these two ex-employees filed their claim against Company in 2007. Since these matters are currently in discovery or still in the early stages, no determination can be made at this time as to their final outcome, nor can the range of potential loss be estimated.

During 2006, a complaint was also filed against the Company by a customer who is claiming that the Company improperly recorded personal information at the point of sale at one of the Company’s retail locations. The Company is in the process of settling this matter and does not expect the settlement to be material, however, no determination can be made at this time as to the final outcome of the settlement.

In the third quarter of 2007, the Company reached a confidential financial settlement regarding allegations of copyright infringement relating to past advertisements. This settlement has not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company is in the process of setting up mediation with another party who claims certain ownership rights over these same past advertisements.

contends that the Company used Hanes’ trademarks BARELY THERE and/or BARELYTHERE without Hanes’ authorization or approval and, by so doing, falsely represented the source, affiliation or sponsorship of American Apparel products. The Company is in the process of settling this matter with Hanes and does not expect the settlement to be material, however, no determination can be made at this time as to the final outcome of the settlement.

The above mentioned complaints seek unspecified judgments and attorney’s fees and costs. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, the Company is of the opinion that the final outcome of these matters are either without merit or will not have a material adverse impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Management intends to defend itself vigorously against the allegations in these complaints.

NOTE 22—Proposed Merger

On December 18, 2006, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement with Endeavor, a blank check company publicly listed on the American Stock Exchange. Upon consummation of the merger, the Company would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endeavor. However, since one of the stockholders of the Company would own a majority of the outstanding common stock of Endeavor, the merger is expected to be accounted for as a reverse acquisition. For accounting purposes, the transaction would be accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company. As part of the merger, the Canadian Affiliate is also being acquired by Endeavor.

The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the second half of 2007. As part of the agreement, the Company is required to achieve certain financial targets set forth in the agreement. However, the Company is not in compliance with the financial targets. The Company and Endeavor can terminate the agreement at any time if mutually agreed. The agreement will terminate if a closing does not occur by December 15, 2007, and is subject to the approval of Endeavor’s stockholders. There can be no assurances that the merger will be completed.

On November 6, 2007, the Company entered into an amended Acquisition Agreement (“Amended Agreement”) under which we increased the number of Transaction Shares that will be issued at the closing of the acquisition from 32,258,065 to 37,258,065 while at the same time increasing the level of the Company’s net debt above which there would be a downward adjustment in the number of shares issued at the closing of the acquisition from $110 million to $150 million. The Amended Agreement also increased the size of the 2007 performance equity plan from 2,710,000 shares to 7,710,000 shares and provides that stock awards for an aggregate of 2,710,000 shares to 7,710,000 shares and provides that stock awards for an aggregate of 2,710,000 shares would be allocated and issued thereunder after consummation of the closing and upon filing of an effective registration statement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

of American Apparel, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Apparel, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects. the consolidated financial position of American Apparel, Inc. and Subsidiaries, as of December 31. 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

As disclosed in Note 23 to the consolidated financial Statements, the Company has reclassified its statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 for certain operating expenses. The reclassification had no effect on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of stockholders’ equity or reported net (loss) income for any period.

NOTE 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Liquidity Matters

Over the past year, the Company’s growth has been funded through a combination of borrowings from related and unrelated parties, bank debt, and lease financing. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $3,200 of unrestricted cash. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company failed to meet certain debt covenants relating to its financing agreements with its bank (Note 10) and the current second lien lender (Note 13). As a result of these covenant violations, the Company was in default of provisions stipulated in its financing agreements. As discussed in Note 22, the Company obtained $41 million of financing from a new second lien lender during January 2007. In addition, during July 2007 the Company executed an agreement with a private investment firm whereby the Company borrowed an additional $10,000 and it also replaced its revolving credit facility of $62,500 (Note 10) with an increased revolving facility of $75,000 from a new bank. In connection with these financings, the amounts due to the Company’s current second lien lender and certain term loans were paid in full. The Company believes that, as a result of this, it currently has sufficient cash and financing commitments to meet its funding requirements through at least December 31, 2007. The Company expects that it will need to obtain additional financing in order to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing might be available.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Apparel, Inc. and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries: All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

FS-38

American Apparel, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(Dollars in thousands)

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes the sales from gift cards, gift certificates and store credits as they are redeemed for merchandise. Prior to redemption, the Company maintains an unearned revenue liability for gift cards, gift certificates and store credits until the Company is released from such liability. The Company’s gift cards, gift certificates and store credits do not have expiration dates, and the Company maintains full liability and does not recognize any revenue from gift cards, gift certificates and store credits until redemption takes place. The unearned revenue for gift cards, gift certificates and store credits are recorded in accrued expenses in the amount of $496 and $212 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Sales Returns and Other Allowances

Allowances For Sales Returns—The Company analyzes sales returns in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 48 “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists” (“SFAS 48”). The Company is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns for its wholesale, on-line product sales and retail store sales based on the Company’s past history. The Company also monitors the buying patterns of the end-users of its products based on sales data received by its retail outlets. Estimates for sales returns are based on a variety of factors including actual returns and based on expected return data communicated to it by customers. Accordingly, the Company believes that its historical returns analysis is an accurate basis for its allowance for sales returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash (the amounts of which may, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits on insurable amounts) and trade accounts receivable, relating substantially to the Company’s US wholesale segment. The Company mitigates its risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. The Company has approximately $2,100 and $1,470 held in foreign banks at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

information. Collections and payments from customers are continuously monitored. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon historical experience as well as specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such bad debt expenses have historically been within expectations and allowances established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that it has in the past. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Cash

The Company’s cash balances represent cash on deposit held at banks.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consists of trade receivables, including amounts due from credit card companies, net of allowances. Amounts due from credit card, debit card and electronic benefits transfer transactions as of the balance sheet date of December 31, 2006 and 2005 were approximately $1,400 and $856, respectively, and represented amounts owed from third-party credit card issuers.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is primarily determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost elements of inventories include materials, labor and overhead. During 2006 and 2005 no one supplier provided more than 10% of the Company’s raw material purchases.

The Company identifies potentially excess and slow-moving inventories by evaluating turn rates, inventory levels and other factors. Excess quantities are identified through evaluation of inventory aging, review of inventory turns and historical sales experiences. The Company provides lower of cost or market reserves for such identified excess and slow-moving inventories. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company increased their reserve by $3,484 and $600, respectively, which resulted in a reserve for slow-moving inventories of $4,284 and $800 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company establishes a reserve for inventory shrinkage for each of its retail locations. The reserve is based on the historical results of physical cycle counts.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the year incurred. Expenditures which significantly improve or extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the lease term. Upon sale or disposition, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in operations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

FS-40

American Apparel, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(Dollars in thousands)

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The SFAS 142 goodwill impairment model is a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit that has goodwill assigned to its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit by using a discounted cash flow model. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be less than its carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of goodwill impairment, if any. Step two allocates the fair value of the reporting unit to the reporting unit’s net assets other than goodwill. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its net assets other than goodwill is considered the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is then compared to the carrying value of its goodwill. Any shortfall represents the amount of goodwill impairment. The Company has not had any goodwill impairment.

Other definite lived intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 10 years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). SFAS 144 requires evaluation of the need for an impairment charge relating to long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write down to a new depreciable basis is required. If required, an impairment charge is recorded based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized impairment charges of $221 and $605, respectively, on assets to be held and used. The impairment charges related primarily to leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures for certain U.S. retail stores and were included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “General and administrative” expenses.

Foreign Currency

The financial statements of international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and an average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses, gains and losses. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are charged or credited to operations as incurred. Where the local currency is the functional currency (which is determined based on management’s judgment and involves consideration of all relevant economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiary) translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company recognized foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of $601 in 2006 and ($358) in 2005.

Income Taxes

FS-41

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

income tax aggregate personal liabilities based upon the Company’s taxable income. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the estimated unpaid aggregate personal tax liabilities of the individual stockholders, attributable to the taxable income of the Company approximated $6,200 and $4,123 respectively. As defined in the definitive Acquisition Agreement with Endeavor Acquisition Corp. (“Endeavor”) (Note 22), upon consummation of the merger, the stockholders will receive distributions to satisfy the stockholders estimated personal tax liabilities, as defined per the agreement. This distribution will be for stockholders taxable income attributable to the subchapter S corporation status and for the period commencing January 1, 2006 through the effective date of the Acquisition Agreement. The distribution amount will be less all previous distributions made by the Company. For periods before January 1, 2006, the Company expects to pay the estimated tax liabilities of the individual stockholders subsequent to December 31, 2006 through July 31, 2007, payments of approximately $2,870 were made against these liabilities. Where applicable, state income taxes are provided by the Company at applicable statutory rates multiplied by pre-tax income. The Company files income tax returns in various states. Some of these states accept subchapter S corporation status, while in some states, the Company is taxed at C Corporation tax rates and in the remaining states, the Company is taxed at reduced rates applicable to S corporations.

American Apparel Deutschland GmbH, American Apparel (UK) Limited, American Apparel (Carnaby) Limited, American Apparel Mexico S DE RL DE CU, American Apparel Mexico Labor, LLC, American Apparel Japan, American Apparel Korea Co., Ltd. and American Apparel Retail (Israel), Ltd. are foreign domiciled entities subject to foreign income taxes on earnings in their respective jurisdictions.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, American Apparel, Inc. has unrecognized built-in gains of approximately $26 million resulting from its S corporation election. If any of the assets creating the unrecognized built-in gains are sold in the ten-year period ending July 1, 2014, AA is liable for Federal income taxes on those gains. The gain is determined by using the tax basis of the assets compared with the fair value of those assets at the time of the S corporation election. No deferred income taxes have been provided as the built-in gain relates primarily to intangible assets that are not expected to be sold within the ten year holding period.

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined that such assets will more likely than not go unused. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reversed. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been

made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Advertising, Promotion and Catalog

The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the advertising takes place. The advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $7,138 and $5,732, respectively, and were included in Selling expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has cooperative advertising arrangements with certain vendors in its US wholesale segment. Cooperative advertising expenses were $376 and $348 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company incurs shipping and handling costs in its operations. These costs consist of freight expenses incurred for third-party shippers to transport products to wholesale customers. They are included in Cost of Sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income and amounted to $6,471 and $4,461 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amounts billed to customers of $4,775 and $3,574 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively are included in Net Sales.

Deferred Rent, Rent Expense and Tenant Allowances

Start-up Costs

The Company expenses as incurred all retail store start-up and organization costs, including travel, training, recruiting, salaries and other operating costs.

Web Site Development Costs

Company capitalized website development costs approximating $273 and $0, which is included in Property and equipment in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Self-insurance accruals

The Company self-insures a significant portion of expected losses under its workers’ compensation program. Accrued liabilities are recorded based on the Company’s estimates of the ultimate costs to settle incurred claims, both reported and unreported.

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

In accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, the Company is required to display comprehensive income and its components as part of its complete set of financial statements. Comprehensive income represents the change in stockholders’ equity resulting from transactions other than stockholder investments and distributions. Included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are changes in equity that are excluded from the Company’s net (loss) income, specifically, unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments.

The Company does not record deferred income taxes relating to accumulated other comprehensive income due to its Subchapter S election in the U.S. and the foreign entities are taxed as disregarded entities.

Seasonality

The company experiences seasonality in its operations. Historically, sales during the second and third fiscal quarters have generally been the highest, with sales during the first fiscal quarter the lowest. This reflects the combined impact of the seasonality of the wholesale and retail segments. Generally, the Company’s retail segment has not experienced the same pronounced sales seasonality as other retailers.

Accounting Pronouncements-Newly Issued

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs and spoilage should be recognized as current-period charges and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 must be applied prospectively to the Company’s inventory costs incurred after January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2005, SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3,” was issued. SFAS No. 154 changes the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle unless impracticable. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. The Company adopted the Interpretation as of January 1, 2007, and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of SFAS No. 157 is encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the expected effect of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements and is currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.

In September 2006, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. The Company is currently evaluating the expected effect of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements and is currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.

The FASB ratified the consensuses reached in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-3”). The EITF reached a consensus that the scope of the Issue includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes. The presentation of taxes within the scope of this Issue on either a gross or a net basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. Furthermore, for taxes reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the aggregate amount of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if that amount is significant. The disclosures required under this consensus should be applied retrospectively to interim and annual financial statements for all periods presented, if those amounts are significant. The Company adopted EITF 06-3 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company currently records its sales net of any value added or sales tax.

All other recently issued accounting pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3—Variable Interest Entities

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46”). In December 2003, the FASB modified FIN 46 to make certain technical corrections and address certain implementation issues that had arisen. FIN 46R provides a new framework for identifying variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements.

The Canadian Affiliate, which is indirectly owned by one of the Company’s 50% owners, has been in business since 1994. The Canadian Affiliate through its combined group of related companies operated 25 and 20 retail stores in Canada, that sell the Company’s products, at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Canadian Affiliate’s total assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were approximately $15,534 and $14,834, respectively. The Canadian Affiliate’s total equity was $1,462 and $1,259 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company sells the Canadian Affiliate merchandise on credit, with payment due 60 days from delivery. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company had accounts receivable from the Canadian Affiliate of $0 and $1,440, respectively and accounts payable to the Canadian Affiliate of $336 and $0, respectively.

NOTE 4—Business Acquisitions

American Apparel Dyeing and Finishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of American Apparel, Inc. entered into an agreement on June 2, 2005 with E & J Textile Group to purchase all of the assets of its dye and fabric processing and finishing plant. The Company purchased E&J Textile Group so that it could dye its own fabric for use in the production of its apparel products. The assets purchased included all of the facility’s tangible personal property. In addition, American Apparel Dyeing and Finishing, Inc. purchased the lease agreement for the premises and equipment leases. The Company accounted for this acquisition under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No 141, “Business Combinations”. Under the purchase method the total purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values and the excess was allocated to goodwill.

The purchase price of the dye house facility amounted to $1,800. A payment was made at closing in the amount of approximately $1,224. Of this payment, approximately $900 was financed by a third party financial institution. The remaining balance of approximately $576 was paid off by future services rendered to the seller all of which were rendered and paid during the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2005. In addition to the purchase price, costs in the amount of approximately $371 were incurred and expensed during the year ended December 31, 2005. Prior to the acquisition, American Apparel Dyeing and Finishing, Inc. did not commence operations. The $900 financed by a third party financial institution was paid in full during the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2005.

(a)

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the revolving credit facility with a bank provided for borrowings up to $57,500 and $55,000, respectively. Borrowings under the facility were subject to certain advance provisions established by the bank and were collateralized by all assets of the Company. Interest under the agreement was at LIBOR (5.30% and 4.84% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively) plus 2.5% or the bank’s prime rate (8.25% and 7.25% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively) plus 2.25%, at the Company’s option. The interest rate was 10.5% and 9.5% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The facility was to expire in January 2010. The average borrowings during the years 2006 and 2005 were $46,500 and $38,663, respectively. Stockholders of the Company personally guaranteed the borrowings. On January 18, 2007, the Company negotiated an increase in the size of its credit facility from $57,500 to $62,500. Among other requirements, this facility agreement included a subjective acceleration clause and required the Company to maintain a lock box. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company was not in compliance with certain financial ratio covenants. As disclosed in Note 22, during July 2007, the Company replaced this revolving credit facility and converted this obligation into long-term debt with an increased revolving credit facility from another bank which expires at the earlier of July 2, 2012 or thirty days prior to the maturity date of the loan agreement with the private investment firm (January 18, 2009) unless it is refinanced on terms acceptable to the bank in December 2008. No charges for early extinguishment of debt were incurred associated with this transaction. As a result of the terms of the new credit agreement, the Company is currently in compliance with the covenants of the new agreement and accordingly, the loan balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 is classified as a long-term obligation.

(b)

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had a term loan with a bank. The loan is payable in monthly installments of $417, including interest at prime (8.25% and 7.25% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively) plus 1% through September 2007. The balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $3,750 and $4,167, respectively. At December 31, 2006, the Company had another term loan payable in monthly installments of $48, including interest at prime plus 1% through March 2010. The balance at December 31, 2006 was $1,872. Both of these loans were secured by various unsecured equipment. On January 18, 2007, the Company completed a $41 million secured debt financing with a private investment firm (see Note 22) and converted these obligations into long-term and accordingly, a portion of such debt was classified as

long-term. A portion of the financing proceeds was used to pay off both of these loans without any prepayment penalty. No charges for early extinguishment for debt were incurred associated with this transaction.

(c)

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had two term loans with a financial institution. The first loan is payable in monthly installments of $5, including interest at prime (8.25% and 7.25% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively) plus 1% through October 2007. The balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $52 and $120, respectively. The second loan is payable in monthly installments of $22, including interest at prime plus 1% through December 2008. The balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $391 and $400, respectively. Both of these loans are secured by related equipment, with a net book value of $520 and $552, respectively.

(d)	At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had various promissory notes payable in monthly installments aggregating $24, including interest ranging from 4.6% to 11.9% and maturing at various dates through August 2011. The notes are collateralized by equipment.

(e)

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had two leasehold improvement term loans. The first loan is payable in monthly installments of $3 through March 2010, including interest at a rate of 8%. The balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $114 and $143, respectively. The second loan is payable in monthly interest only payments at 9% through April 2007. The balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $958 and $1,026, respectively.

Required principal payments of long-term debt (as adjusted to reflect the subsequent refinancing of long term debt disclosed in Note 23.) are as follows:

payments at a rate of 11% on the current outstanding principal balance. The remaining unpaid portion of all monthly interest shall be added to the principal balance. The balance outstanding at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $14,201 and $13,376, respectively, which includes accrued interest aggregating $1,701 and $876 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. On January 18, 2007, the Company completed a $41 million secured debt financing with a private investment firm and converted this obligation into long term debt (Note 22). Such amounts have been classified as long-term since they were refinanced on a long-term basis. A portion of the financing proceeds was used to pay off this loan plus the accrued interest without any prepayment penalty. No charges for early extinguishment for debt were incurred associated with this transaction.

This note was subordinated to the bank (Note 10). The agreement contained default and covenant provisions similar to its current bank agreement. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial ratio covenants. However, as a result of the refinancing on January 18, 2007 with a new long-term obligation, the subordinated notes payable is classified as a long-term liability.

NOTE 14—Subordinated Notes Payable to Related Parties

The Company has unsecured notes payable with a related party (relative of a stockholder), which are due upon demand with interest at 18%. The balance outstanding at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $180. The note was subordinated to the interest of the bank which held the Company’s revolving credit facility at December 31 2006 and 2005 as well as the interest of the bank which provided the new secured revolving credit facility on July 2, 2007 (see note 22).

The Company has an unsecured note payable to a stockholder which is due on demand with interest at 12%. The balance outstanding at December 31, 2006 and 2005, was $180.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had available state tax credit carryforwards of $6,963 and $4,130, respectively that may be utilized to offset future California state tax attributable to the tax on income earned if any, within a particular designated Enterprise Zone. These credits do not expire.

Management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits related to these deductible temporary differences, except for the benefit to be derived from the utilization of the California Enterprise Zone tax credits. Consequently, the Company has provided a valuation allowance of $6,963 and $4,130 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

California Franchise Tax Board

The Company has been contacted by the California Franchise Tax Board in regard to scheduling an audit related to California Enterprise Zone Tax Credits taken by the Company for the 2001 and 2002 income tax years. At this time no determination can be made as to the outcome of the audit and therefore no provision has been made for future assessment, if any, which might be determined by the California Franchise Tax Board as the outcome of the audit. However, the California Enterprise Zone Tax Credits have a full valuation allowance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 (Note 17).

Internal Revenue Service

The Company has been contacted by the Internal Revenue Service in regard to performing an audit for the income tax year 2005. The audit commenced in 2007.

The workers’ compensation liability is based on the insurance company’s estimate of losses for claims incurred, but not paid at year end. Funding is made directly to the providers and/or claimants by the insurance company. To guarantee performance under the workers’ compensation program, the Company has issued standby letters of credit in the amount of $3,256 in 2006 and 2005, with the insurance companies being the beneficiary, through its bank along with cash deposits of $1,455 and $0 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded a reserve of $2,787 and $1,589, respectively, for potential losses on existing claims as such amounts are believed to be probable and reasonably estimable.

NOTE 21—Litigation

The Company is currently involved in matters with a few ex-employees who have either filed claims or state intentions to file various claims against the Company with the courts and regulatory agencies, which relate to alleged labor law violations, sexual harassment and other vague employment claims. One such claim against the Company was filed during 2005. During 2006, the Company was notified by two other ex-employees with respect to potential claims against the Company. One of these two ex-employees filed their claim against the Company in 2007. Since these matters are currently in discovery or still in the early stages, no determination can be made at this time as to their final outcome, nor can the range of potential loss be estimated.

During 2006, a complaint was also filed against the Company by a customer who is claiming that the Company improperly recorded personal information at the point of sale at one of the Company’s retail locations. Since this matter is currently in discovery and still in the early stages, no determination can be made at this time as to its final outcome, nor can the range of potential loss be estimated.

NOTE 22—Subsequent Events

On December 18, 2006, the Company signed a definitive Acquisition Agreement with Endeavor, a blank check company publicly listed on the American Stock Exchange. Upon consummation of the merger, the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Company would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endeavor. However, since one of the stockholders of the Company would own a majority of the outstanding common stock of Endeavor, the merger is expected to be accounted for as a reverse acquisition. For accounting purposes, the transaction would be accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company. As part of the merger, the Canadian Affiliate is also being acquired by Endeavor.

The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the second half of 2007. As part of the agreement, the Company is required to achieve certain financial targets set forth in the agreement. While the Company was not in compliance with the financial targets, in April 2007 Endeavor waived the requirements to comply with certain financial targets. The Company and Endeavor can terminate the agreement at any time if mutually agreed. The agreement will terminate if a closing does not occur by December 15, 2007, and is subject to the approval of Endeavor’s stockholders. There can be no assurances that the merger will be completed.

On January 18, 2007, the Company completed a $41 million secured debt financing with a private investment firm. The proceeds of the financing were used to repay the Company’s subordinated notes payable with it current second lien holder (Note 13) of $15,000 (including principal, interest and fees), and repay its term loans with its bank (Note 10) of $5,600. No charges for early extinguishment of debt were incurred associated with payoff of these notes. Net proceeds related to the secured debt financing amounted to approximately $18 million. Indebtedness under the agreement bears interest at 16% per annum, payable monthly and matures on January 18, 2009. The agreement requires the Company to comply with certain covenants. In the event the Company is in default under the agreement the interest rate increases to 21% per annum and the private investment firm has the right to demand payment in full of all outstanding indebtedness. The agreement does not allow any prepayments prior to January 18, 2008 and subsequent to that date, any prepayment shall include a prepayment premium equal to 3% of the amount prepaid. The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants.

On July 2, 2007, the Company obtained an additional $10 million secured debt financing with the same private investment firm under the same terms as the original agreement on January 18, 2007. As of June 30, 2007 the Company was in violation of certain covenants of the original agreement from January 18, 2007. However, the default was subsequently waived and covenants were amended by the lender at the time of the additional financing obtained July 2, 2007.

On July 2, 2007, the Company also replaced its secured revolving credit facility of $62,500 (Note 10) with an increased revolving credit facility of up to $75,000 from a new bank. The Company did not incur any losses for early extinguishment of debt with this transaction. Prepayment fees of $313 were expensed in July 2007. Borrowings under the facility are subject to certain advance provisions established by the bank and are collateralized by all assets of the Company. Interest under the agreement is at LIBOR plus 2% or the Prime rate, at the Company’s option. The credit facility expires at the earlier of July 2, 2012 or thirty days prior to the maturity date of the loan agreement with the private investment firm (January 18, 2009) unless it is refinanced on terms acceptable to the bank. The credit facility agreement requires the Company to comply with certain covenants. The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants.

NOTE 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Apparel, Inc. and the following direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries: American Apparel Retail, Inc., KCL Knitting, LLC, American Apparel Deutschland GmbH, American Apparel (UK) Limited, American Apparel (Carnaby) Limited, and American Apparel Retail 1090, Third NYC, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various 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. The most significant estimates include; sales returns and other allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation and obsolescence, valuation and recoverability of long-lived intangible assets including the values assigned to acquired assets, property and equipment, income taxes; and accruals for the outcome of current litigation.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash (the amounts of which may, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits on insurable amounts) and trade accounts receivable, relating substantially to the Company’s wholesale segment. The Company mitigates its risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. The Company has approximately $467,000 held in foreign banks at December 31, 2004.

Cash

The Company’s cash balances represent cash on deposit held at banks.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is primarily determined on the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. The cost elements of inventories include materials, labor and overhead. During 2004 no one supplier provided more than 10% of the Company’s raw material purchases.

To account for inventory shrinkage, the Company establishes a reserve as an estimate based upon the analysis of inventory amounts on hand at segments for which quarterly physical inventories are not performed.

Property and Equipment

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). SFAS 144 requires evaluation of the need for an impairment charge relating to long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write down to a new depreciable basis is required. If required, an impairment charge is recorded based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows.

Foreign Currency

The financial statements of international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and an average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses, gains and losses. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are charged or credited to operations as incurred. Where the local currency is the functional currency (which is determined based on management’s judgment and involves consideration of all relevant economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiary) translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. During fiscal 2004, the Company recognized foreign currency transaction gains of $351,978.

Income Taxes

The Company elected Subchapter S corporation status effective July 1, 2004. Consequently, the Company eliminated the previously reported deferred tax assets and liabilities, which resulted in recording an income tax benefit. Earnings and losses for Federal tax reporting purposes are included in the personal tax returns of the stockholders and taxed according to their personal tax strategies. Accordingly, the Company does not incur Federal income tax obligations, and the consolidated financial statements do not include a provision for Federal income taxes. The Company expects to distribute the amounts necessary to satisfy the stockholders’ estimated personal income tax liabilities based upon the Company’s taxable income. State taxes are provided at applicable statutory rates multiplied by pre-tax income. The Company has Enterprise Zone credits available to offset current tax liabilities.

American Apparel Deutschland GmbH, American Apparel UK (Limited) and American Apparel (Carnaby) are foreign domiciled entities subject to foreign income taxes on earnings in the respective jurisdictions. For the year ended December 31, 2004, no foreign tax provision was recorded. A valuation allowance of approximately $200,000 was recorded against losses incurred by the German subsidiary.

American Apparel, Inc. has unrecognized built-in gains of approximately $26 million resulting from its S corporation election. If any of the assets creating the unrecognized built-in gains are sold in the ten year period ending July 1, 2014, AA is liable for Federal income taxes on those gains. The gain is determined by using the tax basis of the assets compared with the fair value of those assets at the time of the S corporation election. No deferred income taxes have been provided as the built-in gain relates primarily to intangible assets that are not expected to be sold within the ten year holding period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, revolving line of credit, and long-term debt. The Company estimates that carrying amounts of all financial instruments described above to approximate fair value based upon current market conditions, maturity dates, and other factors.

Advertising, Promotion and Catalog

The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the advertising takes place. The advertising expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 amounted to $2,322,912 and was included in selling expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company incurs shipping and handling costs in its operations. These costs, included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers amounted to $2,546,935 and is included in Net Sales for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Deferred Rent, Rent Expense and Tenant Allowances

The Company occupies its retail stores and combined corporate office, manufacturing, and distribution center under operating leases generally with terms of one to ten years. Some leases contain renewal options for periods ranging from five to fifteen years under substantially the same terms and conditions as the original leases. Most of the store leases require payment of a specified minimum rent, a contingent rent based on a percentage of the store’s net sales in excess of a specified threshold, plus defined escalating rent provisions. The Company straight-lines and recognizes its rent expense over the term of the lease (including probable lease renewals), plus the construction period prior to occupancy of the retail location, using a mid-month convention. Also included in rent expense are payments of real estate taxes, insurance and certain common area and maintenance costs in addition to the future minimum operating lease payments. All other pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred.

Start-up Costs

The Company expenses as incurred all retail store start-up and organization costs, including travel, training, recruiting, salaries and other operating costs.

Self-insurance accruals

New accounting standard

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No 151, “Inventory Costs—An Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage should be expensed as incurred and not included in overhead. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 must be applied prospectively to the Company’s inventory costs incurred after January 1, 2006. The Company expects that the adoption will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3—Due from Factor

The Company has entered into a factoring agreement whereby it assigns a portion of its accounts receivable to a factor. The factor charges a commission on the net sales factored. The factor provides credit administration and assumes credit risk for all receivables assigned without recourse. Under inter-creditor agreements, the factored receivables are assigned to a bank (Note 7). Due from factor at December 31, 2004 consists principally of matured funds. Matured funds represent amounts due from the factor for cash collected from customers in excess of advances received.

NOTE 1 Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business

These combined financial statements include the accounts of the commonly owned companies American Apparel Canada Wholesale Inc. (formerly American Apparel Holdings Inc., 9072-1416 Quebec Inc. and 9001-9134 Quebec Inc.) and American Apparel Canada Retail Inc. (formerly the retail companies 9133-1090 Quebec Inc., 9137-4033 Quebec Inc., 9140-8880 Quebec Inc., 9154-1128 Quebec Inc., 9156-4526 Quebec Inc., 1614652 Ontario Ltd., 2061560 Ontario Ltd., 2061555 Ontario Ltd., 2061561 Ontario Ltd., 1646837 Ontario Ltd., 2083497 Ontario Inc., 2052199 Ontario Inc., 6294057 Canada Inc., 6294049 Canada Inc., 6338941 Canada Inc., 6362851 Canada Inc., 4300840 Canada Inc. and American Apparel Community Store and Gallery Inc.), herein referred to as The American Apparel Group of Canada. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon combining these entities.

These companies are incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. American Apparel Canada Wholesale Inc. is engaged in the distribution of garments in Canada. American Apparel Canada Retail Inc. sells garments in Canada through retail outlets primarily under the name of American Apparel, herein referred to as the retail company.

On July 1, 2007, 9001-9134 Quebec Inc. and American Apparel Holdings Inc. were part of a reorganization with the parent of 9001-9134 Quebec Inc. (9072-1416 Quebec Inc.), effectively becoming one entity known as American Apparel Canada Wholesale Inc. On July 1, 2007, the retail companies were part of a reorganization, effectively becoming one entity known as American Apparel Canada Retail Inc.

On December 18, 2006, American Apparel, Inc. (“U.S. affiliate”) a company partially owned by the shareholder, together with the American Apparel Group of Canada (together referred to as “American Apparel”), entered into a definitive merger agreement with Endeavor Acquisition Corp. (“Endeavour”), a blank check company publicly traded on the American Stock Exchange. Upon consummation of the merger, Endeavor would acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of each of the Canadian companies of American Apparel and each would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endeavor. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the second half of 2007. As part of the agreement, American Apparel is required to achieve certain financial targets. American Apparel is not in compliance with the financial targets. Endeavor has waived certain of these requirements. American Apparel and Endeavor can terminate the agreement at any time if mutually agreed. The agreement will terminate if a closing does not occur by December 15, 2007 and is subject to approval by the shareholders of Endeavor. There can be no assurance that the merger will be completed.

NOTE 2 Trade Name and Source of Supply

The companies’ existing business operating structure relies on the use of the trade name “American Apparel” and in sourcing principally all of their purchases from American Apparel, Inc. (Note 15 a) and b)).

NOTE 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements:

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

The companies’ cash balances represent cash on deposit held at banks.

Inventory valuation

Inventory consists of finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost includes merchandise costs, duty and freight. Net realizable value is assessed using current demand information and historical experience. Inventory levels are reviewed in order to identify slow moving inventory and broken assortments, and markdowns are used to clear such inventory.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for on a declining balance basis at rates designed to depreciate the cost of the property and equipment over their useful lives. The annual depreciation rates used are as follows:


Building	4	%
Rolling stock	30	%
Computer equipment and software	30	%
Furniture and equipment	20	%

Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over five years, which approximates the terms of the related lease.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The companies regularly review the carrying value of their long-lived assets. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of their assets might not be recoverable, the companies, using their best estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, adjust the carrying value of the related assets. Based upon the review of stores’ performances, no impairment charges were necessary.

Deferred lease inducements

Certain lease agreements provide for the companies to receive lease inducements from landlords to assist in the financing of certain property. Lease inducements are recorded as a deferred credit and amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the related lease.

THE AMERICAN APPAREL GROUP OF CANADA

NOTES TO THE COMBINED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

AS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

(in Canadian dollars)

(unaudited)

Leased premises

The companies’ record rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Accordingly, reasonably assured rent escalations and free-rent periods granted are deferred and amortized over the term of the lease. The difference between the recognized rent expense and amounts payable under the lease is recorded as a deferred rent liability. Operating expenses are recognized in the period in which the applicable costs are incurred. Percentage rents are recognized when the required level of sales has been achieved.

Assets under capital lease

Assets under capital lease are recorded at cost. The company provides for depreciation using the declining balance basis at rates designed to depreciate the cost of the assets under capital lease over their estimated useful lives. The annual depreciation rates used are as follows:


Computer equipment and software	30	%
Furniture and equipment	20	%

Income taxes

The companies follow the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, income taxes must reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the accounting basis of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined for each temporary difference based on the currently enacted tax rates expected to apply when the underlying income or expense items will be realized. A valuation allowance is recorded against any deferred tax asset if it is more likely than not the asset will not be realized. The effect of the changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the changes occur.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from merchandise sales is net of returns and allowances, excluding sales taxes. The companies recognize product sales revenue when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, shipment and passage of title has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from product sales are recorded at the time the product is shipped to the customer. With respect to their retail store operations, the companies recognize revenue upon the sale of their products to retail customers. The companies recognize the sales from gift cards, gift certificates and store credits as they are redeemed for merchandise. Prior to redemption, the companies maintain an unearned revenue liability for gift cards, gift certificates and store credits until the companies are released from such liability. The gift cards, gift certificates and store credits do not have expiration dates, and the companies maintain full liability and do not recognize any revenue from gift cards, gift certificates or store credits until redemption takes place.

Sales returns and other allowances

The companies analyze sales returns in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 48 “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists” (“SFAS 48”). The companies

THE AMERICAN APPAREL GROUP OF CANADA

NOTES TO THE COMBINED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

AS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

(in Canadian dollars)

(unaudited)

are able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns for their wholesale and retail store sales based on the companies’ past history. The companies also monitor the buying patterns of the end-users of their products based on sales data received by their retail outlets. Estimates for sales returns are based on a variety of factors including actual returns and based on expected return data communicated to them by customers. Accordingly, the companies believe that their historical returns analysis is an accurate basis for their allowance for sales returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

As with any set of assumptions and estimates, there is a range of reasonably likely amounts that may be calculated for each allowance above. However, the companies believe that there would be no significant difference in the amounts reported using other reasonable assumptions than what was used to arrive at each allowance. The companies regularly review the factors that influence their estimates and, if necessary, make adjustments when they believe that actual product returns, credits and other allowances may differ from established reserves. Actual experience associated with any of these items may be significantly different than the companies’ estimates.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales includes merchandise costs, duty and freight.

Shipping and handling costs

The companies incur shipping and handling costs in their operations. These costs consist of freight expenses incurred for third-party shippers to transport products to wholesale customers. They are included in Cost of Sales in the Combined Statements of Operations. Amounts billed to customers are included in Sales.

Advertising costs

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred.

Store opening costs

Expenditures associated with the opening of new stores, such as occupancy costs, payroll, advertising and promotion are expensed as incurred.

Foreign currency translation

Monetary assets and liabilities of the companies which are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at year end exchange rates. Other assets and liabilities are translated at rates in effect at the date the assets were acquired and liabilities incurred. Revenue and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at their transaction dates. The resulting gains or losses are included in operations.

Accounting pronouncements—newly issued

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the

“Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of tax positions, and requires certain expanded disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. The adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48 did not have a material effect on the companies’ combined financial statements (Note 16).

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of SFAS No. 157 is encouraged. The companies are currently evaluating the expected effect of SFAS No. 157 on their combined financial statements and are currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.

In September 2006, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the companies’ combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. The companies are currently evaluating the expected effect of SFAS No. 159 on their combined financial statements and are currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.

The FASB ratified the consensuses reached in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-3”). The EITF reached a consensus that the scope of the Issue includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes. The presentation of taxes within the scope of this Issue on either a gross or a net basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. Furthermore, for taxes reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the aggregate amount of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if that amount is significant. The disclosures required under this consensus should be applied retrospectively to interim and annual financial statements for all periods presented, if those amounts are significant. The companies have adopted EITF 06-3 on January 1, 2007. The adoption did not have a significant impact on their combined

financial position or results of operations. The companies record their sales net of any value added or sales tax.

All other recently issued accounting pronouncements are not expected to have material impact on the companies’ combined financial statements.

NOTE 7 Bank Indebtedness

A company has a line of credit facility with maximum borrowings of $4,500,000, due on demand, bearing interest at the bank’s prime rate (6.25% at September 30, 2007 and 6% at September 30, 2006) plus 1% per annum payable monthly. This line of credit is secured by a $5,000,000 moveable hypothec, which provides for a charge on the company’s accounts receivable, inventory and all other moveable assets and by Section 427 Security under the Bank Act of Canada on inventory.

NOTE 16 Income Taxes

On January 1, 2007, the company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 addresses the determination of how benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN No. 48, the company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The companies did not recognize any additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48. The companies had no unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption or as at September 30, 2007.

The companies’ uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. The companies are currently open to audit for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 through September 30, 2007. The companies do not expect its unrecognized tax benefit position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

Forward contracts

A company has purchased forward contracts for $2,500,000 U.S. which have a Canadian value of approximately $2,670,000 for future purchases denominated in U.S. dollars, which mature by December 2008. As at September 30, 2007, the unrealized loss with respect to these contracts amounts to approximately $183,000 CDN. This unrealized loss has been recorded in cost of sales and is included in accrued liabilities.

Interest rate risk

A company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations on its bank line of credit, as it bears interest at a rate of the bank’s prime rate plus 1%.

Fair value disclosure

The carrying amount of accounts receivable, advance – U.S. affiliate, bank indebtedness, accounts payable, accounts payable – U.S. affiliate, accrued liabilities, accrued liabilities – shareholder, accrued payroll and vacation pay, demand loan, demand loan – related party, capital lease obligations, long-term debt and certain long-term debt related parties approximate their fair values.

The fair value of the long-term debt due to shareholder is less than carrying value, as the amount is non-interest bearing.

As the amount of long-term debt due to the shareholder and a member of the immediate family of the shareholder have no terms of repayment, the fair value cannot be calculated with any degree of certainty.

NOTE 19 Business Segment Information

The companies’ management reporting system evaluates performance based on a number of factors; however, the primary measures of performance are the net sales and income from operations of each segment, as these are the key performance indicator(s) reviewed by management. Operating income or loss for each segment does not include corporate general and administrative expenses and interest expense. Corporate general and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to: human resources, legal, finance, and various other corporate level activity related expenses. Such unallocated expenses remain within corporate. The accounting policies of all operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 3.

The following table represents key financial information of the companies’ business segments:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholder of

The American Apparel Group of Canada

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of The American Apparel Group of Canada as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the combined statements of retained earnings, operations and cash flows for the years then ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the companies’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The companies are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companies’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of The American Apparel Group of Canada as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

(in Canadian dollars)

As At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

NOTE 1—Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business

These combined financial statements include the accounts of the commonly owned companies 9001-9134 Quebec Inc., 9133-1090 Quebec Inc., 9137-4033 Quebec Inc., 9140-8880 Quebec Inc., 9154-1128 Quebec Inc., 9156-4526 Quebec Inc., 1614652 Ontario Ltd., 2061560 Ontario Ltd., 2061555 Ontario Ltd., 2061561 Ontario Ltd., 1646837 Ontario Ltd., 2083497 Ontario Inc., 6294057 Canada Inc., 6294049 Canada Inc., 6338941 Canada Inc., 6362851 Canada Inc., 4300840 Canada Inc. and American Apparel Holdings Inc., herein referred to as The American Apparel Group of Canada. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon combining these entities.

These companies are incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act except for 9001-9134 Quebec Inc., 9133-1090 Quebec Inc., 9137-4033 Quebec Inc., 9140-8880 Quebec Inc., 9154-1128 Quebec Inc., 9156-4526 Quebec Inc. which are incorporated under the laws of Quebec and 1614652 Ontario Ltd., 2061560 Ontario Ltd., 2061555 Ontario Ltd., 2061561 Ontario Ltd., 1646837 Ontario Ltd. and 2083497 Ontario Inc., which are incorporated under the laws of Ontario.

American Apparel Holdings Inc. owns a rental property occupied by the companies.

On July 1, 2007, the retail companies were part of a reorganization, effectively becoming one entity known as American Apparel Canada Retail Inc. On July 1, 2007, 9001-9134 Quebec Inc. and American Apparel Holdings Inc. were part of a reorganization with the parent of 9001-9134 Quebec Inc., effectively becoming one entity known as American Apparel Canada Wholesale Inc.

On December 18, 2006, American Apparel, Inc. (“U.S affiliate”) a company partially owned by the shareholder, together with the American Apparel Group of Canada (together referred to as “American Apparel”), entered into a definitive merger agreement with Endeavor Acquisition Corp. (“Endeavor”), a blank check company publicly traded on the American Stock Exchange. Upon consummation of the merger, Endeavor would acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of each of the Canadian companies of American Apparel and each would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endeavor. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the second half of 2007. As part of the agreement, American Apparel is required to achieve certain financial targets. However, American Apparel is not in compliance with the financial targets. Endeavor has waived certain of these requirements. American Apparel and Endeavor can terminate the agreement at any time if mutually agreed. The agreement will terminate if a closing does not occur by December 15, 2007 and is subject to approval by the shareholders of Endeavor. There can be no assurance that the merger will be completed.

NOTE 2—Trade Name and Source of Supply

The companies’ existing business operating structure relies on the use of the trade name “American Apparel” and in sourcing principally all of its purchases from American Apparel, Inc. (Note 12 a) and b)).

As at December 31, 2006, American Apparel, Inc. has failed to meet certain debt covenants relating to its financing agreements with its bank and the current second lien lender. Subsequent to year-end, management has secured financing with a new bank and is in compliance with the covenants set forth in the new credit facility agreement.

As At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

NOTE 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements:

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

The companies’ cash balances represent cash on deposit held at banks.

Inventory valuation

Property and equipment


Building	4	%
Rolling stock	30	%
Computer equipment and software	30	%
Furniture and equipment	20	%

Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight line basis over five years, which approximates the terms of the related lease.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The companies regularly review the carrying value of their long-lived assets. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of their assets might not be recoverable, the companies, using their best estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, adjust the carrying value of the related assets. Based upon the review of certain under-performing stores, a company has recorded impairment charges of $35,989 in 2006. These charges are included in depreciation and amortization.

Income taxes

Revenue recognition

Revenue from merchandise sales are net of returns and allowances, excluding sales taxes. The companies recognize product sales revenue when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, shipment and passage of title has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue from product sales are recorded at the time the product is shipped to the customer. With respect to their retail store operations, the companies recognize revenue upon the sale of their products to retail customers. The companies recognize the sales from gift cards, gift certificates and store credits as they are redeemed for merchandise. Prior to redemption, the companies maintain an unearned revenue liability for gift cards, gift certificates and store credits until the companies are released from such liability. The gift cards, gift certificates and store credits do not have expiration dates, and the companies maintain full liability and do not recognize any revenue from gift cards, gift certificates or store credits until redemption takes place.

The company analyzes sales returns in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 48 “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists” (“SFAS 48”). The company is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns for its wholesale, on-line product

FS-106

The American Apparel Group of Canada

Notes to Combined Financial Statements (Continued)

(in Canadian dollars)

As At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

sales and retail store sales based on the company’s past history. The company also monitors the buying patterns of the end-users of its products based on sales data received by its retail outlets. Estimates for sales returns are based on a variety of factors including actual returns and based on expected return data communicated to it by customers. Accordingly, the company believes that its historical returns analysis is an accurate basis for its allowance for sales returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Sales returns and other allowances

As with any set of assumptions and estimates, there is a range of reasonably likely amounts that may be calculated for each allowance above. However, the companies believe that there would be no significant difference in the amounts reported using other reasonable assumptions than what was used to arrive at each allowance. The companies regularly review the factors that influence their estimates and, if necessary, make adjustments when it believes that actual product returns, credits and other allowances may differ from established reserves. Actual experience associated with any of these items may be significantly different than the companies’ estimates.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales includes merchandise costs, duty and freight.

Shipping and handling costs

The companies incur shipping and handling costs in their operations. These costs consist of freight expenses incurred for third-party shippers to transport products to wholesale customers. Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s 2006 audited combined financial statements, in response to the SEC Observer statement in EITF 00-10, the Company has evaluated the significance of shipping and handling costs for the purpose of applying the guidance of this Issue based on the significance of those costs to each line item on the income statement that includes them and on their significance in total to gross margin. As a result of this analysis, the Company has decided to change its accounting method from classifying such costs in Selling to classifying them as part of Cost of Sales. In accordance with SFAS 154, retrospective application for this change in accounting principal was required and therefore the 2006 and prior period combined financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the reclassification of shipping and handling costs from Selling to Cost of Sales. The financial statement line items for Cost of Sales was increased and Selling was decreased by $324,109, $346,579 and $313,812 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Shipping and handling costs included in Cost of Sales in the Combined Statements of Operations amounted to $324,109, $346,579 and $313,812 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amounts billed to customers of $324,326, $267,388 and $241,016 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively are included in Sales.

Advertising costs

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred.

Store opening costs

Expenditures associated with the opening of new stores, such as occupancy costs, payroll, advertising and promotion are expensed as incurred.

Accounting Pronouncements—Newly Issued

In May 2005, SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3, “ was issued. SFAS No. 154 changes the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle unless impracticable. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material impact on the Companies’ combined results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of tax positions, and requires certain expanded disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. The Companies are in the process of evaluating the impact of the application of the Interpretation to their combined financial statements and are currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of SFAS No. 157 is encouraged. The Companies are currently evaluating the expected effect of SFAS No. 157 on their combined financial statements and are currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.

In September 2006, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Companies’ combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157. The Companies’ are currently evaluating

The FASB ratified the consensuses reached in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-3”). The EITF reached a consensus that the scope of the Issue includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes. The presentation of taxes within the scope of this Issue on either a gross or a net basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. Furthermore, for taxes reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the aggregate amount of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if that amount is significant. The disclosures required under this consensus should be applied retrospectively to interim and annual financial statements for all periods presented, if those amounts are significant. The Companies will adopt EITF 06-3 on January 1, 2007. The Companies do not anticipate that the adoption will have a significant impact on their combined financial position or results of operations. The Companies currently records their sales net of any value added or sales tax.

All other recently issued accounting pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on the Companies combined financial statements.

Credit risk

Forward contracts

A company has purchased forward contracts for $1,150,000 U.S. which have a Canadian value of approximately $1,277,000 for future purchases denominated in U.S. dollars, which mature by November 2007. As at December 31, 2006, the unrealized gain with respect to these contracts amounts to approximately $63,000 CDN.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND 2006 AND

THE PERIOD JULY 22, 2005 (INCEPTION) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2007


1.	Interim Financial Information	Endeavor Acquisition Corp.’s (the “Company”) unaudited condensed interim financial statements as of September 30, 2007 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and for the period July 22, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2007 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In addition, the December 31, 2006 balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, filed on March 16, 2007. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited condensed financial statements are consistent with those described in the December 31, 2006 audited financial statements except for the adoption of FIN 48 which is discussed in Note 9. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.	Organization and Business Operations	The Company was incorporated in Delaware on July 22, 2005 as a blank check company, whose objective is to acquire an operating business. All activity from July 22, 2005 through December 21, 2005 related to the Company’s formation and initial public offering as described below. Since December 22, 2005, the Company has been searching for a target business to acquire. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of this Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of this Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with an operating business (“Business Combination”). Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. An amount of $121,030,234 of the net proceeds from the initial public offering and the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment

option was deposited and is being held in an interest-bearing trust account (“Trust Account”) until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of the Company. As of September 30, 2007, the balance in the Trust Account was $128,374,498, which includes $7,344,264 of cumulative interest and dividends earned since inception of the Trust Account. Under the agreement governing the Trust Account, funds will only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, will submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that stockholders owning 20% or more of the shares sold in the Offering vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated.

All of the Company’s stockholders prior to the Offering, including all of the officers and directors of the Company (“Initial Stockholders”), have agreed to vote their 3,750,000 founding shares of common stock in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other stockholders of the Company (“Public Stockholders”) with respect to any Business Combination. After consummation of a Business Combination, these voting safeguards will no longer be applicable.

With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated, any Public Stockholder who voted against the Business Combination may demand that the Company convert their shares. The per share conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock held by Public Stockholders at the consummation of the Offering. Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding 20% (less one share) of the aggregate number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders may seek conversion of their shares in the event of a Business Combination. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their per share interest in the Trust Account computed without regard to the shares held by Initial Stockholders. Accordingly, a portion of the net proceeds from the offering (20% (less one share value) of the amount held in the Trust Account) amounting to $25,673,970 has been classified as common stock subject to possible conversion in the accompanying September 30, 2007 unaudited condensed balance sheet.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for mandatory liquidation of the Company in the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the date of the consummation of the Offering (July 21, 2007), or 24 months from the consummation of the Offering (December 21,

		2007) if certain extension criteria have been satisfied. The extension criteria was satisfied by filing a definitive agreement stating that the Company intends to acquire American Apparel, Inc. and its affiliated companies (collectively “American Apparel”) in an 8K filed with the SEC on December 20, 2006. In the event of liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering due to costs related to the Offering and since no value would be attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units sold. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements.

3.	Going Concern and Management Plans	As of September 30, 2007, the Company has negative working capital of $944,758, net of $128,374,498 of which is cash held in the Trust Account. On December 18, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an operating entity expected to be consummated in 2007. In order for the Company to continue to fund the operating costs associated with the acquisition, the Company’s officers have agreed to advance the Company enough capital in order to consummate the acquisition. There can be no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated. Should this Business Combination not be consummated, the Company would be required to return the funds held in the Trust Account to holders of shares issued in the Offering, as a mandatory liquidation, pursuant to a plan of dissolution and liquidation approved by stockholders. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

4.	Notes Payable - Related Party	On March 8, 2007, the Company borrowed funds from two of the Company’s officers. The Company issued two promissory notes in the amount of $75,000 each. The principal balance of these notes shall be repayable on the earlier of the consummation of the Company’s business combination with American Apparel or upon demand by the officers. These promissory notes are noninterest bearing. On April 30, 2007, the Company borrowed funds from two of the Company’s officers. The Company issued two promissory notes in the amount of $87,500 each. The principal balance of these notes shall be repayable on the earlier of the consummation of the Company’s business combination with American Apparel or upon demand by the officers. These promissory notes are non-interest bearing. On August 31, 2007, the Company borrowed funds from two of the Company’s officers. The Company issued two promissory notes in the amount of $75,000 each. The principal balance of these notes shall be repayable on the earlier of the consummation of the Company’s business combination with American Apparel or upon demand by the officers. These promissory notes are non-interest bearing.

5.		Earnings Per Share		Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and the dilutive effect of outstanding Units as if exercised. Common shares subject to possible conversion of 3,232,148 have been excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro-rata shares of the trust earnings. The September 30, 2006 earnings per share presentation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was revised to conform with this policy and to the current three and nine months presentation. The conversion of the outstanding warrants, totaling 16,160,745, is contingent upon the occurrence of future events, and therefore, is not includable in the calculation of diluted earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” The following is a reconciliation between basic and diluted EPS:

Ledecky, our president and secretary, of $7,500 per month for providing the Company with office space and certain general and administrative services. This relationship has been terminated as of January 1, 2007. The Company entered into a month to month lease agreement with an unaffiliated party for the period January 1, 2007 through April 30, 2007. The Company subsequently paid rent expense from May 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007 as needed. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 the Company incurred $0 and $12,000 rent expense, respectively. As of November 1, 2007 the Company

		will lease office space for the benefit of their consultants from an unaffiliated party at the cost of $2,500 per month. Pursuant to letter agreements with the Company and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., the representative of the underwriters in the Offering (“Representative”), the Initial Stockholders have waived their rights to receive distributions with respect to their founding shares upon the Company’s liquidation. The Initial Stockholders are entitled to registration rights with respect to their founding shares pursuant to an agreement dated December 15, 2005. The holders of the majority of these shares are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register these shares at any time commencing three months prior to the third anniversary of the effective date of the Offering. In addition, the Initial Stockholders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to the third anniversary of the effective date of the Offering. The Representative has agreed to defer a portion of its underwriting commission earned upon consummation of the Offering. The deferred commission, totaling $1.825 million will not be payable unless and until the Company completes a Business Combination. Additionally, the Representative has waived their right to receive such payment upon the Company’s liquidation if it is unable to complete a Business Combination. Accordingly, the deferred commission will be charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of a Business Combination. The Company entered into a consulting agreement with a consultant on July 17, 2006 to perform services through December 15, 2007. The Company pays the consultant a fee of $125,000 per year and the Company will issue to the consultant 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the closing of the initial business combination by the Company. The Company will also issue to the consultant an additional 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock six months after closing of the initial business combination by the Company. In December 2006, the Company retained the services of ICR, LLC (“ICR”) as an investor relations consultant to assist the Company in developing and disseminating investor presentations and communications. the Company pays ICR a fee of $12,000 per month, plus expenses, and will issue ICR 9,700 shares of the Company’s common stock upon consummation of the pending acquisition (see Note 8).

7.	Initial Public Offering	On December 21, 2005, the Company sold 15,000,000 units (“Units”) in the Offering at $8.00 per Unit. On January 5, 2006, the Company sold an additional 1,160,745 Units pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 par value, and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing the later of the completion of a Business Combination or

THE PERIOD JULY 22, 2005 (INCEPTION) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2007


		December 15, 2006 and expiring on December 14, 2009. The Warrants will be redeemable by the Company, at a price of $.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. There is no cash settlement option for the Warrants. In connection with this Offering, the Company issued an option, for $100, to the Representative to purchase 350,000 Units at an exercise price of $10.00 per Unit. The Company has accounted for the fair value of the option, inclusive of the receipt of the $100 cash payment, as an expense of the public offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimated that the fair value of this option is approximately $703,500 ($2.01 per Unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the option granted to the Representative is estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 52.7%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 4.43%, (3) expected life of two years and 30 days and (4) dividend rate of zero. The option may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the option (the difference between the exercise prices of the option and the underlying Warrants and the market price of the Units and underlying securities) to exercise the option without the payment of any cash. There is no cash settlement option for the underwriters’ purchase options, or for the Warrants contained in the units to be purchased by the underwriters.

8.	Pending Acquisition	On December 18, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization (“Agreement”) by which it will acquire American Apparel. American Apparel is provider of cotton leisure wear geared toward contemporary metropolitan adults and sold through company-owned retail locations and online. In exchange for a 100% equity of American Apparel, the Company will issue 32,258,065 shares of its common stock (“Transaction Shares”), subject to downward adjustment based on American Apparel’s net debt immediately prior to closing of the acquisition. 8,064,516 of the Transaction Shares will be placed into escrow to secure the Company’s indemnity rights under the Agreement. The Agreement also provides for a $2.5 million cash pool to be available for the granting of bonuses to management employees immediately following the closing of the acquisition. American Apparel also will be permitted to repay at the closing of the acquisition loans made to American Apparel by certain of its directors, officers and employees in an aggregate amount of approximately $15,000,000. The Company also will adopt a performance equity plan under which an aggregate of approximately 2,710,000 shares will be available for grant under options and restricted stock awards to employees. The Company will submit such transaction for stockholder approval. The Company expects that the transaction will be consummated in December 2007, after the required approval by its stockholders. As of September 30, 2007, the Company has capitalized $431,314 of acquisition costs in connection with this acquisition. There can be no assurance that the acquisition will be completed.

		On November 6, 2007, the Company entered into an amended Acquisition Agreement (“Amended Agreement”) under which the number of transaction shares issued by the Company at the closing of the acquisition increased from 32,258,065 to 37,258,065 while at the same time increasing the level of American Apparel’s net debt above which there would be a downward adjustment in the number of shares issued at the closing of the acquisition from $110 million to $150 million. The Amended Agreement also increased the size of the 2007 performance equity plan from 2,710,000 shares to 7,710,000 shares and provides that stock awards for an aggregate of 2,710,000 shares would be allocated and issued thereunder after consummation of the closing and upon filing of an effective registration statement.

9.	Uncertain Tax Positions	Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 and as of September 30, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in New York as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined in FIN 48. The Company’s evaluations were performed for tax years ended 2005 and 2006, the only periods subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at January 1, 2007. There was no change to this balance at September 30, 2007. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefit position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

10.	Subsequent Event	On October 17, 1007, the Company borrowed funds from two of the Company’s officers. The Company issued two promissory notes in the amount of $50,000 each. The principal balance of these notes shall be repayable on the earlier of the consummation of the Company’s business combination with American Apparel or upon demand by the officers. These promissory notes are non-interest bearing.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Endeavor Acquisition Corp.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Endeavor Acquisition Corp. (a development stage enterprise) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006, for the period July 22, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005 and from July 22, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Endeavor Acquisition Corp. (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006, for the period July 22, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, and from July 22, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2006, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s certificate of incorporation provides for mandatory liquidation of the Company in the event that the Company does not consummate a business combination (as defined) prior to July 21, 2007 or December 21, 2007 if certain extension criteria have been satisfied. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 14, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(a development stage enterprise)

Notes to Financial Statements


1. Organization		Endeavor Acquisition Corp. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 22, 2005 as a blank check company, whose objective is to acquire an operating business.

		All activity from July 22, 2005 (inception) through December 21, 2005 related to the Company’s formation and initial public offering. Since December 22, 2005, the Company has been searching for a target business to acquire. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

2. Business Operations		The Registration Statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Offering”) was declared effective December 15, 2005. The Company consummated the Offering on December 21, 2005 and received net proceeds of $113,496,234. In January 2006, the underwriter exercised the overallotment option generating an additional $8,840,233 of net proceeds. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with an operating business (“Business Combination”). Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. An amount of $121,030,234 of the net proceeds from the initial public offering and the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option was deposited and is being held in an interest-bearing trust account (“Trust Account”) until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of the Company. As of December 31, 2006, the balance in the Trust Account was $125,113,007, which includes $4,082,773 of dividend income. Under the agreement governing the Trust Account, funds will only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

		The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for mandatory liquidation of the Company in the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the date of the consummation of the Offering (July 21, 2007), or 24 months from the consummation of the Offering (December 21, 2007) if certain extension criteria have been satisfied. Such extension criteria have been satisfied. In the event of liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering due to costs related to the Offering and since no value would be attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units sold.

		All of the Company’s stockholders prior to the Offering, including all of the officers and directors of the Company (“Initial Stockholders”), have agreed to

FS-137

Endeavor Acquisition Corp.

(a development stage enterprise)

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)


		vote their 3,750,000 founding shares of common stock in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other stockholders of the Company (“Public Stockholders”) with respect to any Business Combination. After consummation of a Business Combination, these voting safeguards will no longer be applicable.

3. Going Concern and Management Plans		As of December 31, 2006, the Company only has working capital of $23,189, net of $125,113,007 of which is cash held in Trust. On December 18, 2006 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an operating entity expected to be consummated by the summer of 2007. In order for the Company to continue to fund the operating costs associated with the acquisition, the Company’s officers have agreed to advance the Company enough capital in order to consummate the acquisition. There can be no assurance that the acquisition described in Note 10 will be consummated. Should this Business Combination, or another qualifying Business Combination, not be reduced to a definitive agreement and consummated, the Company would be required to return the funds held in the Trust Account to holders of shares issued in the Offering described in Note 5, as a mandatory liquidation, pursuant to a plan of dissolution and liquidation approved by stockholders. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

4. Significant Accounting Policies		Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

		Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and warrants outstanding during the period. The conversion of the outstanding warrants, totaling 16,160,745, is contingent upon the occurrence of future events, and therefore, is not includable in the calculation of diluted earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Options to purchase 350,000 Units granted to the representative of the underwriters are not included in diluted earnings per share as their effect is antidilutive. Weighted average shares outstanding do not include the common stock subject to possible conversion.

		Concentration of Credit Risk SFAS No. 105, “Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentration of Credit Risk,” requires disclosure of significant concentrations of credit risks

FS-138

Endeavor Acquisition Corp.

(a development stage enterprise)

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)


		regardless of the degree of risk. At December 31, 2006, financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to credit risk consist of cash. The Company maintains its cash balances in various financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Endeavor Acquisition Corp.

		Corporation insures balances up to $100,000 and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation insures balances up to $500,000. At December 31, 2006, the uninsured balances amounted to approximately $124,916,822. Management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.

		Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash, cash held in Trust Fund and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of the fair values due to their short-term maturity.

		Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

		Cash Held in Trust Account The Company maintains its cash held in the Trust Account in tax free money market funds.

		Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155.

		Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (“SFAS 155”), which eliminates the exemption from applying SFAS 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. SFAS 155 also allows the election of fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a remeasurement event. Adoption is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.

		Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

		In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156—Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (SFAS 156”), which requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value. SFAS 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. Adoption is required as

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)


		of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of SFAS 156 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

		In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48—Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. This Interpretation shall be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying this Interpretation will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company has not yet commenced the process of evaluating the expected effect of FIN 48 on its financial statements and is not currently in a position to determine such effects.

		In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157—Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”).

		This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not evaluated the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

		In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, Considering the Effects on Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify errors using both the income statement method (i.e. iron curtain method) and the rollover method and requires adjustment if either method indicates a material error. If a correction in the current year relating to prior year errors is material to the current year, then the prior year financial information needs to be corrected. A correction to the prior year results that are not material to those years would not require a restatement process where prior financials would be amended. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company has assessed SAB 108 and has concluded that it did not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

		Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A

		valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Management did not record the impact of deferred taxes as they were deemed immaterial. The provision for Federal, state and local taxes, which are included in the accompanying statement of operations, amounted to $2,465 for the year ended December 31, 2006, $651 for the period from July 22, 2005 (Inception) to December 31, 2005, and $3,116 from July 22, 2005 (Inception) to December 31, 2006.

5. Initial Public Offering		On December 21, 2005, the Company sold 15,000,000 units (“Units”) in the Offering at $8.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrants”). In January 2006, the underwriters exercised the overallotment option and an additional 1,160,745 units were sold. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing the later of the completion of a Business Combination or December 15, 2006 and expiring on December 14, 2009. The Warrants will be redeemable by the Company, at a price of $.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. In connection with this Offering, the Company issued an option, for $100, to Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., the representative of the underwriters in the Offering (“Representative”), to purchase 350,000 Units at an exercise price of $10.00 per Unit. The Company has accounted for the fair value of the option, inclusive of the receipt of the $100 cash payment, as an expense of the public offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimates that the fair value of this option is approximately $703,500 ($2.01 per Unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the option granted to the Representative is estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 52.7%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 4.43% and (3) expected life of two years and 30 days. The option may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the option (the difference between the exercise prices of the option and the underlying Warrants and the market price of the Units and underlying securities) to exercise the option without the payment of any cash.

6. Notes Payable, Stockholders		In July 2005, the Company issued an aggregate of $225,000 unsecured promissory note to its executive officers. The notes were non interest-bearing and were paid in full upon the consummation of the Offering from the net proceeds of the Offering.

7. Commitment and Contingencies		The Company presently occupies office space provided by an affiliate of one of the Company’s executive officers. Such affiliate has agreed that, until the consummation of a Business Combination, it will make such office space, as well as certain office and secretarial services, available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay such affiliate $7,500 per month for such services commencing on the

		effective date of the Offering. The statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006, for the period from July 22, 2005 (Inception) to December 31, 2005 and from July 22, 2005 (Inception) to December 31, 2006, includes $90,000, $2,500 and $92,500, respectively, related to this agreement.

		Pursuant to letter agreements with the Company and the Representative, the Initial Stockholders have waived their right to receive distributions with respect to their founding shares upon the Company’s liquidation.

		The Initial Stockholders are entitled to registration rights with respect to their founding shares pursuant to an agreement dated December 15, 2005. The holders of the majority of these shares are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register these shares at any time commencing three months prior to the third anniversary of the effective date of the Offering. In addition, the Initial Stockholders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to the third anniversary of the effective date of the Offering.

		The Company hired a consultant on July 17, 2006 to perform services through the later of June 15, 2007 if the Company has not announced an acquisition candidate within the initial 18 month period or December 15, 2007 if the Company has signed a letter of intent with a proposed acquisition candidate within the initial 18 month period.

		Inc. and its affiliated companies (collectively, “American Apparel”). American Apparel is provider of cotton leisure wear geared toward contemporary metropolitan adults and sold through company-owned retail locations and online.

		In exchange for a 100% equity of American Apparel, the Company will issue 32,258,065 shares of its common stock (“Transaction Shares”), subject to downward adjustment based on American Apparel’s net debt immediately prior to closing of the acquisition. 8,064,516 of the Transaction Shares will be placed into escrow to secure the Company’s indemnity rights under the Agreement. The Agreement also provides for a $2.5 million cash pool to be available for the granting of bonuses to management employees immediately following the closing of the acquisition. American Apparel also will be permitted to repay at the closing of the acquisition loans made to American Apparel by certain of its directors, officers and employees in an aggregate amount of approximately $5 million. The Company also will adopt a performance equity plan under which an aggregate of approximately 2.7 million shares will be available for grant under options and restricted stock awards to employees.

The Company expects that the transaction will be consummated in the Summer of 2007, after the required approval by its stockholders. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has capitalized $145,808 of acquisition costs in connection with this acquisition. There can be no assurance that the acquisition will be completed.

A. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (as defined in Section 1.2) and in accordance with the applicable corporate and limited liability laws of the respective jurisdictions of formation of each of the companies as set forth in the preamble of this Agreement (the “Applicable Corporate Laws”), Parent and the Company intend to enter into a business combination transaction by means of a concurrent (i) merger in which Merger Sub will merge with AAI and be the surviving entity and (ii) acquisition by Parent of all of the outstanding capital stock of each of the CI companies, through an exchange of all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each of AAI and each CI company for shares of common stock of Parent.

D. The Boards of Directors of AAI, each CI company and Parent and the managers of Merger Sub and LLC have determined that the Business Combination is fair to, and in the best interests of, their respective companies and stockholders and members, as applicable.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows (defined terms used in this Agreement are listed alphabetically in Article IX, together with the Section and, if applicable, paragraph number in which the definition of each such term is located):

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER AND RELATED ACQUISITIONS

1.1 The Business Combination. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Applicable Corporate Laws:

(a) AAI shall be merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), the separate corporate existence of AAI shall cease and Merger Sub shall continue as the surviving corporation. Merger Sub as the surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “U.S. Surviving Corporation.”

(b) All of the outstanding capital stock of each CI company shall be acquired by Parent (each, a “Canada Acquisition,” and together, the “Canada Acquisitions” and, collectively with the Merger, the “Business Combination”), and the separate corporate existence of each CI company shall continue, with each such company a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

1.2 Effective Time; Closing. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cause the Business Combination to be consummated by filing as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date (as herein defined) with each jurisdiction set forth on Schedule 1.2 hereto the certificates, articles, forms and other documentation necessary to consummate the Merger, the Canada Acquisitions and related transactions (including, but not limited to, any notices, stock transfer forms and payment of any transfer, stamp or duty taxes)

A-3

described on Schedule 1.2 in accordance with the Applicable Corporate Laws (collectively, the “Transaction Certificates”). The time of the last such filing to be properly completed or such later time as may be agreed in writing by Parent and the Company shall be referred to herein as the “Effective Time.” Unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) shall take place concurrently at the offices of Graubard Miller, counsel to Parent, 405 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10174-1901 at a time and date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the second business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, or at such other time, date and location as the parties hereto agree in writing (the “Closing Date”). Closing signatures may be transmitted by facsimile.

1.3 Effect of the Business Combination. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Business Combination shall be as provided in this Agreement and the provisions of the Applicable Corporate Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time:

(a) All the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of AAI and Merger Sub shall vest in U.S. Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of AAI and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of U.S. Surviving Corporation; and

(b) Each of the CI companies shall remain in existence and shall continue after the Business Combination as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

1.4 Charter Documents.

(a) At the Effective Time:

(i) the Articles of Incorporation of Merger Sub shall be the Articles of Incorporation of U.S. Surviving Corporation.

(ii) the Articles of Incorporation of each CI company shall remain the Articles of Incorporation of such CI company.

(b) At the Effective Time:

(i) the Bylaws of Merger Sub shall be the Bylaws of U.S. Surviving Corporation.

(ii) the Articles of Association of each CI company shall remain the Articles of Association of such CI company.

1.5 Effect on Capital Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Business Combination and this Agreement and without any action on the part of any party hereto, the following shall occur:

(a) Conversion or Exchange of Company Capital Stock. Other than any shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.5(c), and subject to Section 1.5(b) and Section 5.28 of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) all of the shares of capital stock of AAI issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by the holders thereof will be automatically converted into the right to receive, and (ii) all of the shares of capital stock of each CI company will be exchanged for, an aggregate of 37,258,065 shares (“Transaction Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.0001, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”). The Transaction Shares are also sometimes referred to herein as the “Transaction Consideration.” The Transaction Shares shall be issued and allocated in accordance with an allocation schedule to be attached hereto as Schedule 1.5(a) which shall be finalized as reasonably determined by the parties prior to the Closing, and shall be transferred solely to the Stockholder (as the beneficial owner, effective as of the Closing, of all of the outstanding capital stock of AAI and each of the CI companies) and his designees; provided, however, that 8,064,516 of the Transaction Shares (“Escrow Shares”) shall be placed in escrow as described in Section 1.11. No Transaction Shares shall be issued or transferred to any such designee unless such Person shall have delivered to Parent in writing (1) the investment representations set forth in Section 1.12(b) of this Agreement and (2) an agreement to be bound by a lock-up agreement, escrow agreements and voting agreement having the same terms as the lock-up agreement, escrow agreements and voting agreement

A-4

executed by the Stockholder in connection with the Business Combination (other than such changes as are necessary to reflect that such designee and not the Stockholder is the party thereto). All of the shares of capital stock of AAI and each CI company and each of their respective Subsidiaries shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Company Capital Stock.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no such designee or designees shall be allocated Transaction Shares if such allocation shall require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or otherwise require any other filing (other than abbreviated or notice filings) or otherwise serve to eliminate any registration exemption otherwise available to Parent had the Transaction Shares been issued only to the Stockholder or serve to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Net Debt and Reduction of Amount of Transaction Shares.

(i) If the Company’s Net Debt (as defined) at the close of business on the date two business days prior to the Closing Date (“Closing Date Net Debt”) is more than $150,000,000 as determined in accordance with this Agreement, the number of Transaction Shares to be issued at the Closing shall be reduced by that number of shares equal to the Net Debt Transaction Share Reduction Number. Except for debt incurred to pay any Stub Period Tax Amounts (including, without limitation, any notes issued by AAI to pay any Stub Period Tax Amounts), the Company shall not incur any debt, other than in the ordinary course of business during the period from the date two business days prior to the Closing Date and the Closing Date.

(ii) The term “Net Debt Transaction Share Reduction Number” shall mean the quotient derived by dividing (i) the difference between the Closing Date Net Debt and $150,000,000 by (ii) $7.75 (rounded up to the nearest share); provided, however, that if Closing Date Net Debt is equal to or less than $150,000,000, the Net Debt Transaction Share Reduction Number shall be zero.

(iii) The term “Net Debt” shall mean the Company’s combined indebtedness (i.e., all indebtedness for borrowed money and capitalized leases and equivalents and other obligations evidenced by promissory notes or similar instruments, as well as cash overdrafts), less the Company’s combined cash and cash equivalents (i.e., all short-term money market instruments and treasury bills and similar instruments). The term “Net Debt” shall not include any debt incurred to pay any Stub Period Tax Amounts (including, without limitation, any notes issued by AAI to pay any Stub Period Tax Amounts).

(iv) From the date hereof through the Closing Date, on the 30th day of each calendar month, the Company shall deliver to Parent a written statement of the Company’s Net Debt as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar month (“Periodic Net Debt Statement”), which shall (a) provide such detailed information as may be reasonably requested by Parent prior to such date, (b) be derived utilizing generally accepted accounting principles and (c) be certified as being true and complete by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer. On the business day prior to the scheduled Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a written statement of the Company’s Net Debt as of the close of business of the immediately prior business day (“Closing Net Debt Statement”), which shall (a) provide such detailed information as may be reasonably requested by Parent prior to such date, (b) be derived utilizing generally accepted accounting principles and (c) be certified as being true and complete by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

(c) Cancellation of Treasury and Parent-Owned Stock. Each share of Company Capital Stock held by the Company or Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary thereof immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion or payment in respect thereof.

(d) Adjustments to Exchange Ratios. The numbers of shares of Parent Common Stock that the beneficial holders of the Company Capital Stock are entitled to receive as a result of the Business Combination shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or Company Capital Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the date of issuance or payments thereof.

A-5

(e) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Business Combination, and each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall, upon compliance with Section 1.6, receive from Parent, in lieu of such fractional share, one (1) share of Parent Common Stock.

1.6 Surrender of Certificates; Uncertificated Shares.

(a) Exchange Procedures. Upon surrender of all of the certificates representing Company Capital Stock (“Company Certificates”) at the Closing, the holders of such Company Certificates shall receive in exchange therefor certificates representing the Transaction Shares into which their shares of Company Capital Stock shall be converted or exchanged at the Effective Time, less the Escrow Shares. Until so surrendered, outstanding Company Certificates will be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Transaction Shares then issuable under the terms of this Agreement. Subject to compliance with United States federal backup withholding rules and the Canadian tax clearance certificate regime set forth in Section 1.6(d) hereof, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as of the date hereof, no such deduction or withholding would be required by applicable law.

(b) Required Withholding. The Parent and the Surviving Corporations shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Capital Stock such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other applicable legal requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(c) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.6, neither Parent, U.S. Surviving Corporation, the Company nor any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Capital Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(d) Canadian Tax Clearance Certificate. The following provisions apply in respect of each disposition of the shares of a CI company by CI Stockholders to Parent (the “Recipient Party”) pursuant to this Agreement:

(i) Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 1.6(d), the CI Stockholders will deliver to Recipient Party a certificate issued pursuant to section 116 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (“Canadian Tax Act”) in respect of the disposition of the shares of the relevant CI company to the Recipient Party (“Section 116 Certificate”).

(ii) If no Section 116 Certificate is delivered to the Recipient Party on or prior to the Closing Date, the Recipient Party shall withhold 25% of the portion of the Transaction Shares that is allocable to the acquisition of the shares of the CI company (such shares hereinafter referred to as the “Canadian Shares” and such portion hereinafter referred to as the “Canadian Allocation”). Such withheld Transaction Shares will be dealt with as provided for in Section 1.6(d)(iv).

(iii) If a certificate issued by the Minister of National Revenue pursuant to subsection 116(2) of the Canadian Tax Act in respect of the transfer of the Canadian Shares to the Recipient Party is delivered to the Recipient Party on or prior to the Closing Date specifying a certificate limit in an amount less than the Canadian Allocation, the Recipient Party shall withhold from the Transaction Shares to be delivered at Closing that number of Transaction Shares that has a value equal to 25% of the amount by which the Canadian Allocation exceeds the certificate limit. Such withheld Transaction Shares will be dealt with as provided for in Section 1.6(d)(iv).

(iv) Any Transaction Shares withheld by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.6(d)(ii) or Section 1.6(d)(iii) (“Canadian Escrow Shares”) shall not be delivered to the CI stockholder at Closing and shall be held in escrow by Parent and only dealt with as hereinafter provided.

A-6

(v) Subject to Section 1.6(d)(vii), if, prior to the 27th day after the end of the month in which the Closing Date occurs (“Due Date”) the CI Stockholder delivers to Recipient Party a Section 116 Certificate, the Recipient Party will deliver such CI Stockholder the Canadian Escrow Shares other than that number of Canadian Escrow Shares that has a value equal to 25% of the amount by which the Canadian Allocation exceeds the certificate limit.

(vi) Subject to Section 1.6(d)(vii), if Recipient Party has withheld Transaction Shares pursuant to Section 1.6(d)(ii) or Section 1.6(d)(iii) and the CI stockholder does not deliver to the Recipient Party, prior to the Due Date, a Section 116 Certificate or delivers a Section 116 Certificate specifying a certificate limit less than the Canadian Allocation, the Recipient Party or, at its election, the CI Stockholder shall remit to the Receiver General of Canada that number of Canadian Escrow Shares or, in the case of the CI Stockholder, any other property or assets that have an aggregate value equal to the amount required to be remitted pursuant to subsection 116(5) of the Canadian Tax Act and shall provide evidence of such remittance to the CI Stockholder. The Recipient Party shall cause to be delivered to the CI Stockholder any remaining portion of the Canadian Escrow Shares.

(vii) The Due Date under Section 1.6(d)(v) and Section 1.6(d)(vi) may be extended to a later date if the Canada Revenue Agency confirms in writing to Recipient Party that Recipient Party may continue to hold the Canadian Escrow Shares without being subject to penalty and interest for late remittance, provided that a copy of such correspondence is delivered to the Recipient Party.

1.7 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporations or the Company of shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Certificates are presented to Parent or any Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.8 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Company Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Company Certificates were converted or exchanged; provided, however, that, as a condition precedent to the issuance of such certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock, the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates shall indemnify Parent against any claim that may be made against Parent or U.S. Surviving Corporation with respect to the Company Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.9 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger and each Canada Acquisition shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” for the Merger and each Canada Acquisition within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Income Tax Regulations.

1.10 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action.

(b) In the event that the Lim Buy Out is not consummated by the Stockholder prior to Closing for any reason, as part of and in connection with and as a condition to the Merger, Parent shall consummate the Lim Buy Out, rather than Stockholder, by paying to Lim the Lim Payment Amount (as defined) in cash for the surrender of all of his Company Capital Stock and Company Membership Interests and such cash payment shall be deemed part of the consideration paid by Parent for the Merger.

The $60 million purchase price plus any Additional Purchase Price shall be referred to as the “Lim Payment Amount.” Each of Lim and the Stockholder hereby agree that the Lim Option Agreement shall be deemed amended and modified as provided in this Section 5.28(c).

(d) Neither Lim nor the Stockholder nor any other party to this Agreement shall agree to any terms in the Lim Buy Out that would adversely affect the other terms of this Agreement or the ability of any party to otherwise consummate the Merger as contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) In connection with the consummation of the Lim Buy Out, the Company and Parent shall cause Lim to be released from any and all personal guarantees made or given by him on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof and Lim shall otherwise be afforded all releases provided for under the Lim Option Agreement.

(f) Lim agrees that he shall not, until after such time as this Agreement is terminated, sell or transfer any Company Capital Stock or Company Membership Interests to any party other than the Stockholder or Parent as contemplated hereby or cause any Lien to be placed thereon.

(g) Each of the Stockholder and Lim agrees that any default or breach under the Lim Option Agreement that may currently exist or arise after the date hereof and prior to the earlier of the Closing and termination of this Agreement is waived and suspended until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated. Each of the Stockholder and Lim agrees that he will not terminate or cause a termination of the Lim Option Agreement prior to the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Lim Option Agreement and without in any way contradicting, modifying or restricting the nature and extent of the express obligations of a party hereto contained in this Section 5.28 and Lim’s right to seek the full extent of damages in the event of a breach, neither Parent nor the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be obligated to indemnify Lim or hold him harmless for any liability existing or arising from any circumstances existing prior to the Lim Buy Out.

Parent hereby covenants and agrees that immediately following the Closing Date, Parent shall allocate (in accordance with a scheduled delivered to Parent by the Stockholder) an aggregate of 2,710,000 shares of Parent Common Stock available under the Parent Plan for issuance to or for the benefit of those employees of Parent who (i) were employees of the Company as of the date immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) are identified by the Stockholder prior to the Closing or no later than the last day of the 90-day period immediately following the Closing Date, which shares shall be issued directly to or for the benefit of such employees pursuant to the terms of the Parent Plan no earlier than the date an effective registration statement on Form S-8 has been filed with respect to the Parent Plan and such shares.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification of Parent.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII (including without limitation the limitations set forth in Section 7.4), Parent, the Surviving Corporations and their respective representatives, successors and permitted assigns (the “Parent Indemnitees”) shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by those Persons who are holders of the Company Capital Stock at the Effective Time, but only to the extent of the Escrow Shares, from and against all Losses asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by any Parent Indemnitee by reason of, arising out of or resulting from:

(i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, any Schedule or any certificate delivered by the Company to Parent pursuant to this Agreement with respect hereto or thereto in connection with the Closing;

(ii) the non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement; and

(iii) the matters referred to in Schedule 2.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(b) As used in this Article VII, the term “Losses” shall include all losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, orders, penalties, settlements, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, court costs and reasonable legal fees and expenses) including those arising from any demands, claims, suits, actions, costs of investigation, notices of violation or noncompliance, causes of action, proceedings and assessments whether or not made by third parties or whether or not ultimately determined to be valid. Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of any Losses (and not for determining any breach) for which Parent Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article VII, any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that is qualified by a term or terms such as “material,” “materially,” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed made or given without such qualification and without giving effect to such words.

7.2 Indemnification of Third Party Claims. The indemnification obligations and liabilities under this Article VII with respect to actions, proceedings, lawsuits, investigations, demands or other claims brought against Parent by a Person other than the Company (a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Notice of Claim. Parent, acting through the Appointed Director, will give the Stockholder prompt written notice after receiving written notice of any Third Party Claim or discovering the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim (a “Notice of Claim”) which Notice of Third Party Claim shall set forth (i) a brief description of the nature of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the total amount of the actual out-of-pocket Loss or the anticipated potential Loss (including any costs or expenses which have been or

A-47

may be reasonably incurred in connection therewith), and (iii) whether such Loss may be covered (in whole or in part) under any insurance and the estimated amount of such Loss which may be covered under such insurance, and the Stockholder shall be entitled to participate in the defense of Third Party Claim at its expense.

(b) Defense. The Stockholder shall have the right, at its option (subject to the limitations set forth in subsection 7.2(c) below) and at its own expense, by written notice to Parent, to assume the entire control of, subject to the right of Parent to participate (at its expense and with counsel of its choice) in, the defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim as to which such Notice of Claim has been given, and shall be entitled to appoint a recognized and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to Parent to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense. If the Stockholder is permitted and elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim:

(i) the Stockholder shall diligently and in good faith defend such Third Party Claim and shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status of such defense; provided, however, that Parent shall have the right to approve any settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned; and

(ii) Parent shall cooperate fully in all respects with the Stockholder in any such defense, compromise or settlement thereof, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, and Parent shall make available to the Stockholder all pertinent information and documents under its control.

(c) Limitations of Right to Assume Defense. The Stockholder shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against Parent; or (iii) there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect Parent other than as a result of money damages or other money payments.

(d) Other Limitations. Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish relevant available data shall not constitute a defense (in whole or in part) to any Third Party Claim by Parent against the Stockholder and shall not affect the Stockholder’s duty or obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have adversely affected the ability of the Stockholder to defend against or reduce its liability or caused or increased such liability or otherwise caused the damages for which the Stockholder is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had Parent given the Stockholder prompt notice hereunder. So long as the Stockholder is defending any such action actively and in good faith, Parent shall not settle such action. Parent shall make available to the Stockholder all relevant records and other relevant materials required by them and in the possession or under the control of Parent, for the use of the Stockholder and its representatives in defending any such action, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

(e) Failure to Defend. If the Stockholder, promptly after receiving a Notice of Claim, fails to defend such Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, Parent will (upon further written notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim as it may determine in its reasonable discretion, provided that the Stockholder shall have the right to approve any settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned.

(f) Parent’s Rights. Anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Stockholder shall not, without the written consent of Parent, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to Parent of a full and unconditional release from all liability and obligation in respect of such action without any payment by Parent.

(g) Stockholder Consent. Unless the Stockholder has consented to a settlement of a Third Party Claim, the amount of the settlement shall not be a binding determination of the amount of the Loss and such amount shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.

A-48

7.3 Insurance Effect. To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII are covered by insurance, Parent shall use best efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; provided that Parent shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article VII in respect of such Losses and the time limitations set forth in Section 7.4 hereof for bringing a claim of indemnification under this Agreement shall be tolled during the pendency of such insurance claim. The existence of a claim by Parent for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any Loss shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by the Stockholder. If Parent has received the payment required by this Agreement from the Stockholder in respect of any Loss and later receives proceeds from insurance or other amounts in respect of such Loss, then it shall hold such proceeds or other amounts in trust for the benefit of the Stockholder and shall pay to the Stockholder, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such proceeds or other amount received, up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from the Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Loss. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

7.4 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Survival; Time Limitation. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or in any writing delivered by the Company to Parent in connection with this Agreement (including the certificate required to be delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 6.3(a)) shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the Escrow Period.

(b) Any claim made by a party hereunder shall be preserved despite the subsequent expiration of the Escrow Period and any claim set forth in a Notice of Claim sent prior to the expiration of the Escrow Period shall survive until final resolution thereof. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, no claim for indemnification under this Article VII shall be brought after the end of the Escrow Period.

(c) Deductible. No amount shall be payable under Article VII unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable exceeds $250,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the amount payable shall include all amounts included in the Deductible and all future amounts that become payable under Section 7.1 from time to time thereafter.

(d) Aggregate Amount Limitation. The aggregate liability for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1 shall not in any event exceed the Escrow Shares and Parent shall have no claim against the Company’s stockholders other than for the Escrow Shares (and any proceeds of the shares or distributions with respect to the Escrow Shares).

7.5 Exclusive Remedy. Parent, on behalf of itself and all other Parent Indemnitees, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, its sole remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be pursuant and subject to the requirements of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article VII shall in any way impair, modify or otherwise limit Parent’s or the Company’s right to bring any claim, demand or suit against the other party based upon such other party’s actual fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, it being understood that a mere breach of a representation and warranty, without intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, does not constitute fraud.

7.6 Adjustment to Transaction Consideration. Amounts paid for indemnification under Article VII shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the value of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued by Parent as a result of the Business Combination, except as otherwise required by Law.

7.7 Stockholder Capacities; Application of Escrow Shares. The parties acknowledge that the Stockholder’s obligations under this Article VII are solely as a representative of the Company’s stockholders in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement with respect to the obligations to indemnify Parent under this Article VII and that

A-49

the Stockholder shall have no personal responsibility for any expenses incurred by him in such capacity and that all payments to Parent as a result of such indemnification obligations shall be made solely from, and to the extent of, the Escrow Shares. The parties further acknowledge that all actions to be taken by Parent pursuant to this Article VII shall be taken on its behalf by the Appointed Director in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement after the Closing, may apply all or a portion of the Escrow Shares to satisfy any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII. The Escrow Agent will hold the remaining portion of the Escrow Shares until final resolution of all claims for indemnification or disputes relating thereto.

(e) by Parent, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Article VI would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided, that if such breach is curable by the Company prior to the Closing Date, then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) for thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice from Parent to the Company of such breach, provided the Company continues to exercise best efforts to cure such breach (it being understood that Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if it shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such breach by the Company is cured during such thirty (30)-day period); or

A-50

public offering and outstanding as of the date of the record date of the Special Meeting exercise their rights to convert the shares of Parent Common Stock held by them into cash in accordance with Parent’s certificate of incorporation.

8.2 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination.

In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and the Business Combination shall be abandoned, except for and subject to the following: (i) Sections 5.6, 5.13, 8.2 and 8.3 and Article X (General Provisions) shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement, including a breach by a party electing to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b) if such party’s action or failure to act constituted a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Business Combination to occur on or before the date stated therein.

8.3 Fees and Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Business Combination is consummated.

This Agreement and each other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and the consummation thereof, may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same document and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery by facsimile to counsel for the other party of a counterpart executed by a party shall be deemed to meet the requirements of the previous sentence.

10.4 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder (except as specifically provided in this Agreement).

10.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.6 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties further acknowledge that the Company and its assets, business and equity securities are unique and therefore, in the event of the Company’s failure to consummate the Business Combination for any reason other than Parent’s or Merger Sub’ breach hereunder, Parent shall have the right to seek equitable relief hereunder, including specific performance.

10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

10.8 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

10.9 Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 10.9, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective

A-56

successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to any of its affiliates (whether currently existing or created hereafter), but no such assignment shall relieve Parent of its obligations hereunder.

10.10 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

10.11 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

10.12 Arbitration. Any disputes or claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Notice of a demand to arbitrate a dispute by either party shall be given in writing to the other at their last known address. Arbitration shall be commenced by the filing by a party of an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in its office in New York City. The arbitration and resolution of the dispute shall be resolved by a single arbitrator appointed by the AAA pursuant to AAA rules. The arbitration shall in all respects be governed and conducted by applicable AAA rules, and any award and/or decision shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York City. The arbitrator shall supply a written opinion supporting any award, and judgment may be entered on the award in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall pay its own fees and expenses for the arbitration, except that any costs and charges imposed by the AAA and any fees of the arbitrator for his services shall be assessed against the losing party by the arbitrator. In the event that preliminary or permanent injunctive relief is necessary or desirable in order to prevent a party from acting contrary to this Agreement or to prevent irreparable harm prior to a confirmation of an arbitration award, then either party is authorized and entitled to commence a lawsuit solely to obtain equitable relief against the other pending the completion of the arbitration in a court having jurisdiction over the parties. Each party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of New York, New York County, for such purpose. All rights and remedies of the parties shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies obtainable from arbitration.

10.13 Currency. All references to currency amounts in this Agreement shall mean United States dollars.

10.14 Waiver and Release. Each party hereto hereby waives any breach (or alleged breach) by any other party of, and any failure (or alleged failure) of a party to comply with, prior to the date of this Agreement (as amended and restated), any representation, warranty or covenant originally set forth in the December 2006 Agreement that has been deleted from this Agreement or any representation, warranty or covenant originally set forth in the December 2006 Agreement that has been updated or modified by this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the parties hereto hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against another party with respect to, and any Losses that have been or may be asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by any Parent Indemnitee by reason of, arising out of or resulting from or in connection with any such breach (or alleged breach) or failure (or alleged failure) to comply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other representation, warrant or covenant originally contained in the December 2006 Agreement or a waiver of any breach occurring on or after the date hereof.

Annex B

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

ENDEAVOR ACQUISITION CORP.

Pursuant to Section 102 of the

Delaware General Corporation Law

ENDEAVOR ACQUISITION CORP., a corporation existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), by its Chief Executive Officer, hereby certifies as follows:

1. The name of the Corporation is “Endeavor Acquisition Corp.”

2. The Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation was filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 22, 2005.

3. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation restates, integrates and amends the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation.

4. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted by joint written consent of the directors and stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“GCL”).

5. The text of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

FIRST: The name of the corporation is ClearPoint Business Resources, Inc. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Corporation”).

SECOND: The registered office of the Corporation is to be located at 615 S. DuPont Hwy., Kent County, Dover, Delaware. The name of its registered agent at that address is National Corporate Research, Ltd.

THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation shall be to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the GCL.

FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 121,000,000 of which 120,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock of the par value of $.0001 per share and 1,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock of the par value of $.0001 per share.

A. Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is expressly granted authority to issue shares of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) and as may be permitted by the GCL. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation.

B-1

B. Common Stock. Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power and each share of Common Stock shall have one vote.

FIFTH: The name and mailing address of the sole incorporator of the Corporation are as follows:

Name

Address

Jeffrey M. Gallant

Graubard Miller

The Chrysler Building

405 Lexington Avenue

New York, New York 10174

SIXTH: The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class A, Class B and Class C. The number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible. The directors in Class A shall be elected for a term expiring at the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the directors in Class B shall be elected for a term expiring at the second Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the directors in Class C shall be elected for a term expiring at the third Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Commencing at the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and at each annual meeting thereafter, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Except as the GCL may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in the Corporation’s Bylaws), or by the sole remaining director. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

SEVENTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

A. Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the by-laws of the Corporation so provide.

B. The Board of Directors shall have the power, without the assent or vote of the stockholders, to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation as provided in the by-laws of the Corporation.

C. The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for any other reason.

D. In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, of this Certificate

B-2

of Incorporation, and to any by-laws from time to time made by the stockholders; provided, however, that no by-law so made shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such by-law had not been made.

EIGHTH: A. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the GCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the GCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph A by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

B. The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the GCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.

2.3. Interpretation of Plan.

(a) Committee Authority. Subject to Section 11, below, the Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall from time to time deem advisable to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any award issued under the Plan (and to determine the form and substance of all agreements relating thereto), and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. Subject to Section 11, below, all decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be made in the Committee’s sole discretion and shall be final and binding upon all persons, including the Company, its Subsidiaries and Holders.

(b) Incentive Stock Options. Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term or provision of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options (including but not limited to Stock Reload Options or Stock Appreciation rights granted in conjunction with an Incentive Stock Option) or any Agreement providing for Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Holder(s) affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422.

Section 3.

Stock Subject to Plan.

3.1. Number of Shares. The total number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 7,710,000 shares. Shares of Common Stock under the Plan (“Shares”) may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. If any shares of Common Stock that have been granted pursuant to a Stock Option cease to be subject to a Stock Option, or if any shares of Common Stock that are subject to any Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award, Reload Stock Option or Other Stock-Based Award granted hereunder are forfeited or any such award otherwise terminates

C-3

without a payment being made to the Holder in the form of Common Stock, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection with future grants and awards under the Plan. If a Holder pays the exercise price of a Stock Option by surrendering any previously owned shares and/or arranges to have the appropriate number of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld to cover the withholding tax liability associated with the Stock Option exercise, then the number of shares available under the Plan shall be increased by the lesser of (i) the number of such surrendered shares and shares used to pay taxes; and (ii) the number of shares purchased under such Stock Option.

3.2. Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization, Etc. In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, common stock dividend payable on shares of Common Stock, Common Stock split or reverse split, combination or exchange of shares of Common Stock, or other extraordinary or unusual event which results in a change in the shares of Common Stock of the Company as a whole, the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether such change equitably requires an adjustment in the terms of any award (including number of shares subject to the award and the exercise price) or the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. Any such adjustments will be made by the Committee, whose determination will be final, binding and conclusive.

Section 4.

Eligibility.

Awards may be made or granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or to be able to render significant services to the Company or its Subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the success of the Company. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who is not an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary at the time of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an award may be made or granted to a person in connection with his hiring or retention, or at any time on or after the date he reaches an agreement (oral or written) with the Company with respect to such hiring or retention, even though it may be prior to the date the person first performs services for the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no portion of any such award shall vest prior to the date the person first performs such services.

Section 5.

Stock Options.

5.1. Grant and Exercise. Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Nonqualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall contain such terms, not inconsistent with this Plan, or with respect to Incentive Stock Options, not inconsistent with the Plan and the Code, as the Committee may from time to time approve. The Committee shall have the authority to grant Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options which may be granted alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. To the extent that any Stock Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option does not so qualify, it shall constitute a separate Nonqualified Stock Option.

5.2. Terms and Conditions. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may be granted only within the ten-year period commencing from the Effective Date and may only be exercised within ten years of the date of grant (or five years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an optionee who, at the time of grant, owns Common Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting stock of the Company (“10% Stockholder”).

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, provided, however, that in no event may the exercise price per share be less than $0.05 under any Stock Option.

(c) Exercisability. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and as set forth in Section 10, below. If the Committee

C-4

provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, i.e., that it vests over time, the Committee may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part, based upon such factors as the Committee shall determine.

(d) Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment, exercise and waiting period provisions are applicable in a particular case, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the term of the Option by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, which shall be in cash or, if provided in the Agreement, either in shares of Common Stock (including Restricted Stock and other contingent awards under this Plan) or partly in cash and partly in such Common Stock, or such other means which the Committee determines are consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law. Cash payments shall be made by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable to the order of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock with respect to which an Option is exercised until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement approved by the Committee and described in the last sentence of this paragraph, payment may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise). Payments in the form of Common Stock shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date prior to the date of exercise. Such payments shall be made by delivery of stock certificates in negotiable form that are effective to transfer good and valid title thereto to the Company, free of any liens or encumbrances. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, at the request of the Holder, deliver upon the exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option a combination of shares of Deferred Stock and Common Stock; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8 of the Plan, such Deferred Stock shall be fully vested and not subject to forfeiture. A Holder shall have none of the rights of a Stockholder with respect to the shares subject to the Option until such shares shall be transferred to the Holder upon the exercise of the Option. The Committee may permit a Holder to elect to pay the Exercise Price upon the exercise of a Stock Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Common Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

(e) Transferability. Except as may be set forth in the next sentence of this Section or in the Agreement, no Stock Option shall be transferable by the Holder other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Holder’s lifetime, only by the Holder (or, to the extent of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Holder’s guardian or legal representative). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder, with the approval of the Committee, may transfer a Stock Option (i) (A) by gift, for no consideration, or (B) pursuant to a domestic relations order, in either case, to or for the benefit of the Holder’s “Immediate Family” (as defined below), or (ii) to an entity in which the Holder and/or members of Holder’s Immediate Family own more than fifty percent of the voting interest, in exchange for an interest in that entity, subject to such limits as the Committee may establish and the execution of such documents as the Committee may require, and the transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Stock Option prior to such transfer. The term “Immediate Family” shall mean any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Holder’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent beneficial interest, and a foundation in which these persons (or the Holder) control the management of the assets.

(f) Termination by Reason of Death. If a Holder’s employment by the Company or a Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of death may thereafter be exercised by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Holder under the will of the Holder, for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.

C-5

(g) Termination by Reason of Disability. If a Holder’s employment by the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination may thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.

(h) Other Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.3, below, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, if such Holder’s employment or retention by, or association with, the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, the Stock Option shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that if the Holder’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without cause or due to Normal Retirement, then the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination of employment may be exercised for the lesser of three months after termination of employment or the balance of such Stock Option’s term.

(i) Additional Incentive Stock Option Limitation. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of grant of the Option) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options become exercisable for the first time by a Holder during any calendar year (under all such plans of the Company and its Parent and Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.

(j) Buyout and Settlement Provisions. The Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, offer to repurchase a Stock Option previously granted, based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Holder at the time that such offer is made.

5.3. Stock Reload Option. If a Holder tenders shares of Common Stock to pay the exercise price of a Stock Option (“Underlying Option”) and/or arranges to have a portion of the shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld to pay the applicable withholding taxes, then the Holder may receive, at the discretion of the Committee, a new Stock Reload Option to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares tendered to pay the exercise price and the withholding taxes (but only if such tendered shares were held by the Holder for at least six months). Stock Reload Options may be any type of option permitted under the Code and will be granted subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations as may be determined by the Committee from time to time. Such Stock Reload Option shall have an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise of the Underlying Option. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, a Stock Reload Option may be exercised commencing one year after it is granted and shall expire on the date of expiration of the Underlying Option to which the Reload Option is related.

Section 6.

Stock Appreciation Rights.

6.1. Grant and Exercise. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to participants who have been or are being granted Stock Options under the Plan as a means of allowing such participants to exercise their Stock Options without the need to pay the exercise price in cash. In the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Nonqualified Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted only at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option.

6.2. Terms and Conditions. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Exercisability. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, subject to the limitations, if any, imposed by the Code with respect to related Incentive Stock Options.

(b) Termination. A Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate and shall no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option.

C-6

(c) Method of Exercise. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement and by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Stock Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the SAR Value divided by the Fair Market Value on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

(d) Shares Affected Upon Plan. The granting of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not affect the number of shares of Common Stock available under for awards under the Plan. The number of shares available for awards under the Plan will, however, be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of the Stock Option to which such Stock Appreciation Right relates.

Section 7.

Restricted Stock.

7.1. Grant. Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the Holder, the time or times within which such awards may be subject to forfeiture (“Restriction Period”), the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof and all other terms and conditions of the awards.

7.2. Terms and Conditions. Each Restricted Stock award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Certificates. Restricted Stock, when issued, will be represented by a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Holder to whom such Restricted Stock shall have been awarded. During the Restriction Period, certificates representing the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions (as defined below) shall bear a legend to the effect that ownership of the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions) and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the Agreement. Such certificates shall be deposited by the Holder with the Company, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions that shall be forfeited or that shall not become vested in accordance with the Plan and the Agreement.

(b) Rights of Holder. Restricted Stock shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes. The Holder will have the right to vote such Restricted Stock, to receive and retain all regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute on such Restricted Stock and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Stock, with the exceptions that (i) the Holder will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Stock until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled; (ii) the Company will retain custody of the stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period; (iii) other than regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute, the Company will retain custody of all distributions (“Retained Distributions”) made or declared with respect to the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Stock) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested and with respect to which the Restriction Period shall have expired; (iv) a breach of any of the restrictions, terms or conditions contained in this Plan or the Agreement or otherwise established by the Committee with respect to any Restricted Stock or Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Stock and any Retained Distributions with respect thereto.

(c) Vesting; Forfeiture. Upon the expiration of the Restriction Period with respect to each award of Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions (i) all or part of

C-7

such Restricted Stock shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, subject to Section 10, below, and (ii) any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock shall become vested to the extent that the Restricted Stock related thereto shall have become vested, subject to Section 10, below. Any such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that do not vest shall be forfeited to the Company and the Holder shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that shall have been so forfeited.

Section 8.

Deferred Stock.

8.1. Grant. Shares of Deferred Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom and the time or times at which grants of Deferred Stock will be awarded, the number of shares of Deferred Stock to be awarded to any person, the duration of the period (“Deferral Period”) during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the shares will be deferred, and all the other terms and conditions of the awards.

8.2. Terms and Conditions. Each Deferred Stock award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Certificates. At the expiration of the Deferral Period (or the Additional Deferral Period referred to in Section 8.2 (d) below, where applicable), share certificates shall be issued and delivered to the Holder, or his legal representative, representing the number equal to the shares covered by the Deferred Stock award.

(b) Rights of Holder. A person entitled to receive Deferred Stock shall not have any rights of a Stockholder by virtue of such award until the expiration of the applicable Deferral Period and the issuance and delivery of the certificates representing such Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon expiration of the Deferral Period shall not be deemed outstanding by the Company until the expiration of such Deferral Period and the issuance and delivery of such Common Stock to the Holder.

(c) Vesting; Forfeiture. Upon the expiration of the Deferral Period with respect to each award of Deferred Stock and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions all or part of such Deferred Stock shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, subject to Section 10, below. Any such Deferred Stock that does not vest shall be forfeited to the Company and the Holder shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Deferred Stock.

(d) Additional Deferral Period. A Holder may request to, and the Committee may at any time, defer the receipt of an award (or an installment of an award) for an additional specified period or until a specified event (“Additional Deferral Period”). Subject to any exceptions adopted by the Committee, such request must generally be made at least one year prior to expiration of the Deferral Period for such Deferred Stock award (or such installment).

Section 9.

Other Stock-Based Awards.

Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded, subject to limitations under applicable law, that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Common Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation, purchase rights, shares of Common Stock awarded which are not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debentures, or other rights convertible into shares of Common Stock and awards valued by reference to the value of securities of or the performance of specified Subsidiaries.

C-8

Section 10.

Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability.

10.1. Non-Approved Transactions. If any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as referred in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities in one or more transactions, and the Board does not authorize or otherwise approve such acquisition, then the vesting periods of any and all Stock Options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan shall be accelerated and all such Stock Options and awards will immediately and entirely vest, and the respective holders thereof will have the immediate right to purchase and/or receive any and all Common Stock subject to such Stock Options and awards on the terms set forth in this Plan and the respective agreements respecting such Stock Options and awards.

10.2. Approved Transactions.

Section 11.

Amendment and Termination.

12.1. Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of , 2007 subject to the approval of the Plan by the Company’s stockholders within one year after the Effective Date.

12.2. Termination Date. Unless terminated by the Board, this Plan shall continue to remain effective until such time as no further awards may be granted and all awards granted under the Plan are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made only during the ten-year period following the Effective Date.

Section 13.

General Provisions.

13.1. Written Agreements. Each award granted under the Plan shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, the Agreement executed by the Company and the Holder, or such other document as may be determined by the Committee. The Committee may terminate any award made under the Plan if the Agreement relating thereto is not executed and returned to the Company within 10 days after the Agreement has been delivered to the Holder for his or her execution.

C-9

13.2. Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Holder by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

13.3. Employees.

(a) Engaging in Competition With the Company; Solicitation of Customers and Employees; Disclosure of Confidential Information. If a Holder’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason whatsoever, and within 12 months after the date thereof such Holder either (i) accepts employment with any competitor of, or otherwise engages in competition with, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) solicits any customers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to do business with or render services to the Holder or any business with which the Holder becomes affiliated or to which the Holder renders services or (iii) discloses to anyone outside the Company or uses any confidential information or material of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of the Company’s policies or any agreement between the Holder and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Holder to return to the Company the economic value of any Shares that was realized or obtained by such Holder at any time during the period beginning on the date that is six months prior to the date such Holder’s employment with the Company is terminated. In such event, Holder agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Shares were sold during such six month period) and the price the Holder paid the Company for such Shares.

(b) Termination for Cause. The Committee may, if a Holder’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for cause, annul any award granted under this Plan to such employee and, in such event, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Holder to return to the Company the economic value of any Shares that was realized or obtained by such Holder at any time during the period beginning on that date that is six months prior to the date such Holder’s employment with the Company is terminated. In such event, Holder agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Shares were sold during such six month period) and the price the Holder paid the Company for such Shares.

(c) No Right of Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any award hereunder shall be deemed to confer upon any Holder who is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Holder who is an employee at any time.

13.4. Investment Representations; Company Policy. The Committee may require each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Holder is acquiring the shares for investment without a view to distribution thereof. Each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the Plan shall be required to abide by all policies of the Company in effect at the time of such acquisition and thereafter with respect to the ownership and trading of the Company’s securities.

13.5. Additional Incentive Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting such other or additional incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the granting of Stock Options and the awarding of Common Stock and cash otherwise than under the Plan; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

13.6. Withholding Taxes. Not later than the date as of which an amount must first be included in the gross income of the Holder for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any Stock Option or other award under the Plan, the Holder shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld or paid with respect to such amount. If permitted by the Committee, tax withholding or payment obligations may be settled with

C-10

Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditioned upon such payment or arrangements and the Company or the Holder’s employer (if not the Company) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Holder from the Company or any Subsidiary.

13.7. Governing Law. The Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to choice of law provisions); provided, however, that all matters relating to or involving corporate law shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

13.8. Other Benefit Plans. Any award granted under the Plan shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or any Subsidiary and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation (unless required by specific reference in any such other plan to awards under this Plan).

13.9. Non-Transferability. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the Agreement, no right or benefit under the Plan may be alienated, sold, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged, transferred, encumbranced or charged, and any attempt to alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same shall be void.

13.10. Applicable Laws. The obligations of the Company with respect to all Stock Options and awards under the Plan shall be subject to (i) all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), as amended, and (ii) the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed.

13.11. Conflicts. If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan or an Agreement conflict with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with such requirements. Additionally, if this Plan or any Agreement does not contain any provision required to be included herein under Section 422 of the Code, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated herein and therein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length herein and therein. If any of the terms or provisions of any Agreement conflict with any terms or provisions of the Plan, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of the Plan. Additionally, if any Agreement does not contain any provision required to be included therein under the Plan, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated therein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length therein.

13.12. Non-Registered Stock. The shares of Common Stock to be distributed under this Plan have not been, as of the Effective Date, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any applicable state or foreign securities laws and the Company has no obligation to any Holder to register the Common Stock or to assist the Holder in obtaining an exemption from the various registration requirements, or to list the Common Stock on a national securities exchange or any other trading or quotation system, including the Nasdaq National Market and Nasdaq Capital Market.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Agreement”), dated December 18, 2006 by and among Endeavor Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Corporation”), AAI Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation (“Merger Sub”), American Apparel, Inc., a California corporation (“AAI”), all of the affiliated companies of AAI through which it operates in Canada (collectively, “CI”), American Apparel, LLC, a California limited liability company (“AALLC”), Dov Charney, a holder of 50% of the outstanding capital stock of AAI and 50% of the outstanding membership interests of AALLC, Sam Lim, the holder of the remaining 50% of the outstanding capital stock of AAI and 50% of the outstanding membership interests of AALLC, and all of the stockholders of each of the CI companies to induce the Corporation to enter into the Agreement and consummate the Business Combination (as defined in the Agreement), the undersigned agrees to, neither directly nor indirectly, during the “Restricted Period” (as hereinafter defined):

(1)

sell or offer or contract to sell or offer, grant any option or warrant for the sale of, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of (all being referred to as a “Transfer”) any legal or beneficial interest in any shares of stock, $.0001 par value, of the Corporation (“Parent Common Stock”) issued to the undersigned in connection with the Business Combination or the transactions related thereto (the “Restricted Securities”); or

(2)

enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of any of the Restricted Securities, whether such swap transaction is to be settled by delivery of any Restricted Securities or other securities of any person, in cash or otherwise.

As used herein, “Restricted Period” means the period commencing on the Closing Date (as defined in the Agreement) and ending on the third anniversary thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, this Lock-Up Agreement will not prevent any Transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities, either during the undersigned’s lifetime or on the undersigned’s death, by gift, will or intestate succession, or by judicial decree, to the undersigned’s “family members” (as defined below) or to trusts, family limited partnerships and similar entities primarily for the benefit of the undersigned or the undersigned’s “family members”; provided, however, that in each and any such event it shall be a condition to the Transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement, and other than to return the Restricted Securities to the former ownership, there shall be no further Transfer of the Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Lock-Up Agreement. For purposes of this sub-paragraph, “family member” shall mean spouse, lineal descendants, stepchildren, father, mother, brother or sister of the transferor or of the transferor’s spouse. Also notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, in the event the undersigned is an entity rather than an individual, this Lock-Up Agreement will not prevent any Transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities to the shareholders of such entity, if it is a corporation, to the members of such entity, if it is a limited liability

D-1

company, or to the partners in such entity, if it is a partnership; provided, however, that in each and any such event it shall be a condition to the Transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement, and other than to return the Restricted Securities to the former ownership, there shall be no further Transfer of the Restricted Securities in accordance with this Lock-Up Agreement.

The undersigned hereby authorizes the Corporation’s transfer agent to apply to any certificates representing Restricted Securities issued to the undersigned the appropriate legend to reflect the existence and general terms of this Lock-up Agreement.

This Lock-up Agreement will be legally binding on the undersigned and on the undersigned’s heirs, successors, executors, administrators, conservators and permitted assigns, and is executed as an instrument governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Very truly yours,

Board of Directors

Endeavor Acquisition Corp.

180 Madison Avenue

Suite 2305

New York, NY 10016

Members of the Board:

We understand that Endeavor Acquisition Corp. (the “Parent”) has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 18, 2006 (the “Agreement”), with American Apparel (USA), Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (“U.S. Merger Sub”), CI Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (“Canada Merger Sub”), American Apparel Inc. (“AAI”), American Apparel, LLC (“LLC”), the Canadian companies set forth on Schedule A thereto, each an affiliate of AAI (collectively, “CI”, and together with AAI and LLC, the “Company”), the stockholders of AAI and CI, and the holders of the membership interests of LLC. Pursuant to the Agreement, (i) U.S. Merger Sub will merge with AAI, and (ii) the Canada Merger Sub will merge or amalgamate with each of the CI companies (such mergers and amalgamations, collectively, the “Transaction”), in which all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each of AAI and CI will be exchanged for an aggregate of 32,258,065 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Parent (the “Consideration”), which number of shares is subject to adjustment (as to which we express no opinion) as provided in the Agreement based on the Company’s net debt prior to closing. The Agreement further provides that, under certain circumstances, the Consideration may be adjusted such that it will consist of a combination of (i) 24,516,130 shares of Common Stock, which number of shares is subject to adjustment (as to which we express no opinion) as provided in the Agreement based on the Company’s net debt prior to closing, and (ii) $60 million in cash. The terms and conditions of the Transaction are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

You have asked for our opinion as to whether (i) the Consideration to be paid by the Parent pursuant to the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Common Stock (other than any affiliates of the Parent), and (ii) the fair market value of the Company is at least equal to 80% of the net assets of the Parent.

In arriving at our opinion, we have, among other things:

(i)

reviewed the Agreement;

(ii)

reviewed certain publicly available financial and other information about the Parent and the Company;

(iii)

reviewed certain information furnished to us by the Company’s management, including historical financial information and financial forecasts and analyses relating to the business, operations and prospects of the Company, which information included (i) limited forecast information relating to the Company’s Canadian business, having been advised that more detailed financial forecasts for that business were not available, and (ii) certain adjustments to the Company’s historical consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization that were prepared by the management of the Company and also agreed to by the Parent’s management;

F-1

LOGO

(iv)

reviewed certain information furnished to us by the Parent’s management relating to the Parent;

(v)

held discussions with members of senior management of the Parent and the Company concerning the matters described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above;

(vi)

reviewed the share trading price history for the Common Stock for the period ending December 18, 2006, and considered the implied value of the Consideration based upon the closing price of the Common Stock as of that date;

(vii)

reviewed the valuation multiples for certain publicly traded companies that we deemed relevant in lines of business similar to the Company;

(viii)

compared the proposed financial terms of the Transaction with the financial terms of certain other transactions that we deemed relevant;

(ix)

reviewed and compared the net asset value of the Parent to the indicated fair market value of the Company; and

(x)

conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations as we deemed appropriate.

In our review and analysis and in rendering this opinion, we have assumed and relied upon, but have not assumed any responsibility to independently investigate or verify, the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information that was supplied or otherwise made available to us by the Parent and the Company or that was publicly available (including, without limitation, the information described above), or that was otherwise reviewed by us. In our review, we did not obtain any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities of, nor did we conduct a physical inspection of any of the properties or facilities of, the Parent or the Company, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals of such physical inspections, nor do we assume any responsibility to obtain any such evaluations or appraisals.

With respect to the financial forecasts provided to and examined by us, we note that projecting future results of any company is inherently subject to uncertainty. The Parent and the Company have informed us, however, and we have assumed, that such financial forecasts were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of the Company as to the future financial performance of the Company, and we have relied solely upon such financial forecasts prepared by the management of the Company. We express no opinion as to the Company’s financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they are made.

Our opinion is based on economic, monetary, regulatory, market and other conditions existing and which can be evaluated as of the date hereof. We note, however, that in rendering this opinion we have analyzed the implied value of the Consideration based upon the closing price of the Common Stock as of December 18, 2006, which was the date immediately prior to the date of the public announcement of the Transaction. We expressly disclaim any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting our opinion of which we become aware after the date hereof.

We have made no independent investigation of any legal or accounting matters affecting the Parent or the Company, and we have assumed the correctness in all respects material to our analysis of all legal and accounting advice given to the Parent and its Board of Directors, including, without limitation, advice as to the legal, accounting and tax consequences of the terms of, and transactions contemplated by, the Agreement to the Parent and its stockholders. We have also assumed that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases for the Transaction, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on the Parent, the Company or the contemplated benefits of the Transaction.

In addition, we were not requested to and did not provide advice concerning the structure, the specific amount of the Consideration, or any other aspects of the Transaction, or to provide services other than the delivery of this opinion. We were not authorized to and did not solicit any expressions of interest from any other parties with respect to the sale of all or any part of the Parent or any other alternative transaction. We did not participate in negotiations with respect to the terms of the Transaction and related transactions. Consequently, we have assumed that such terms are the most beneficial terms from the Parent’s perspective that could under the circumstances be negotiated among the parties to such transactions, and no opinion is expressed whether any alternative transaction might result in terms and conditions more favorable to the Parent or its stockholders than those contemplated by the Agreement.

It is understood that our opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of the Parent in its consideration of the Transaction, and our opinion does not address the relative merits of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement as compared to any alternative transaction or opportunity that might be available to the Parent, nor does it address the underlying business decision by the Parent to engage in the Transaction or the terms of the Agreement or the documents referred to therein. Our opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of shares of Common Stock should vote on the Transaction or any matter related thereto. In addition, you have not asked us to address, and this opinion does not address, the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Transaction, other than the holders of shares of Common Stock (other than any affiliates of the Parent). We express no opinion as to the price at which shares of Common Stock will trade at any time.

We have been engaged by the Parent in connection with the delivery of this opinion and will receive a fee for our services, a portion of which is payable upon the delivery of our opinion and the balance of which is payable upon the earliest to occur of the consummation of the Transaction, abandonment of the Transaction or termination of our engagement letter with the Parent. We also will be reimbursed for expenses incurred. The Parent has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities arising out of or in connection with the services rendered and to be rendered by us under such engagement. In the ordinary course of our business, we and our affiliates may trade or hold securities of the Parent and/or its affiliates for our own account and for the accounts of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions in those securities. In addition, we may seek to, in the future, provide financial advisory and financing services to the Parent, the Company or entities that are affiliated with the Parent or the Company, for which we would expect to receive compensation. Except as otherwise expressly provided in our engagement letter with the Parent, our opinion may not be used or referred to by the Parent, or quoted or disclosed to any person in any manner, without our prior written consent.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, (i) the Consideration to be paid by the Parent pursuant to the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Common Stock (other than any affiliates of the Parent), and (ii) the fair market value of the Company is at least equal to 80% of the net assets of the Parent.

Very truly yours,

ESCROW AGREEMENT

ESCROW AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated [Closing Date] by and among ENDEAVOR ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), DOV CHARNEY (the “Stockholder”), and CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).

Parent, the Stockholder, certain corporations affiliated with each of them and certain other persons are the parties to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of December 18, 2006, and amended and restated on November 7, 2007 (the “Reorganization Agreement”). Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, Parent and the Surviving Corporations are to be indemnified in certain respects. The parties desire to establish an escrow fund as collateral security for the indemnification obligations under the Reorganization Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Reorganization Agreement.

The parties agree as follows:

1. (a) Concurrently with the execution hereof, the Stockholder is delivering to the Escrow Agent, to be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, stock certificates issued in the name of the Stockholder 8,064,516 shares of Parent Common Stock received by the Stockholder pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, together with ten (10) assignments separate from certificate, executed in blank by the Stockholder. The shares of Parent Common Stock represented by the stock certificates so delivered by the Stockholder to the Escrow Agent are herein referred to in the aggregate as the “Escrow Fund.” Subsequent to any transfer permitted pursuant to Paragraph 1(e) hereof, the Escrow Agent shall maintain a separate account for each Owner’s (as hereinafter defined) portion of the Escrow Fund.

(b) The Escrow Agent hereby agrees to act as escrow agent and to hold, safeguard and disburse the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof. It shall treat the Escrow Fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of Parent. The Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder shall terminate upon its distribution of the entire Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Except as herein provided, the Owners (as defined in Section 1.(d), below) shall retain all of their rights as stockholders of Parent with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Escrow Fund during the period from the Closing Date to the later of (i) the first anniversary of the Closing date and (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days after Parent has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2007 (the “Escrow Period”), including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Escrow Fund.

(d) During the Escrow Period, all dividends payable in cash with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Escrow Fund shall be paid to the Owners, but all dividends payable in stock or other non-cash property (“Non-Cash Dividends”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof. As used herein, the term “Escrow Fund” shall be deemed to include the Non-Cash Dividends distributed thereon, if any.

(e) During the Escrow Period, no sale, transfer or other disposition may be made of any or all of the shares of Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Fund except (i) to a “Permitted Transferee” (as hereinafter defined), (ii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of the Stockholder or any Permitted Transferee (the Stockholder and each Permitted Transferee being hereinafter referred to individually as an “Owner” and collectively as the “Owners”), or (iii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; provided, however, that such permissive transfers may be implemented only upon the respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall include: (x) members of the Stockholder’s “Immediate Family” (as hereinafter defined); (y) an entity in which (A) the Stockholder and/or members of the Stockholder’s Immediate Family beneficially own 100% of such entity’s voting and non-voting equity

G-1

securities, or (B) the Stockholder and/or a member of the Stockholder’s Immediate Family is a general partner and in which the Stockholder and/or members of the Stockholder’s Immediate Family beneficially own 100% of all capital accounts of such entity; and (z) a revocable trust established by the Stockholder during his lifetime for the benefit of the Stockholder or for the exclusive benefit of all or any of the Stockholder’s Immediate Family. As used in this Agreement, the term “Immediate Family” means, with respect to the Stockholder, a spouse, parents, lineal descendants, the spouse of any lineal descendant, and brothers and sisters (or a trust, all of whose current beneficiaries are members of an Immediate Family of the Stockholder). In connection with and as a condition to each permitted transfer, the Permitted Transferee shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an assignment separate from certificate executed by the transferring Stockholder, or where applicable, an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, evidencing the transfer of shares to the Permitted Transferee, together with ten (10) assignments separate from certificate executed in blank by the Permitted Transferee with respect to the shares transferred to the Permitted Transferee. Upon receipt of such documents, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Parent the original stock certificate out of which the assigned shares are to be transferred, together with the executed assignment separate from certificate executed by the transferring Stockholder, or a copy of the applicable court order, and shall request that Parent issue new certificates representing (m) the number of shares, if any, that continue to be owned by the transferring Stockholder, and (n) the number of shares owned by the Permitted Transferee as the result of such transfer. Parent, the Stockholder and the Permitted Transferee shall cooperate in all respects with the Escrow Agent in documenting each such transfer and in effectuating the result intended to be accomplished thereby. During the Escrow Period, no Owner shall pledge or grant a security interest in such Owner’s shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Escrow Fund or grant a security interest in such Owner’s rights under this Agreement.

2. (a) Parent, acting through the current or former member of Parent’s Board of Directors who has been appointed by Parent to take all necessary actions and make all decisions on behalf of Parent with respect to its and the Surviving Corporations’ rights to indemnification under Article VII of the Reorganization Agreement (the “Appointed Director”), may make a claim for indemnification pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement (“Indemnity Claim”) against the Escrow Fund by giving notice (a “Notice”) to the Stockholder (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) specifying (i) the covenant, representation, warranty, agreement, undertaking or obligation contained in the Reorganization Agreement which it asserts has been breached or otherwise entitles Parent or a Surviving Corporation to indemnification, (ii) in reasonable detail, the nature and dollar amount of any Indemnity Claim, and (iii) whether the Indemnity Claim results from a Third Party Claim against Parent or a Surviving Corporation. The Appointed Director also shall deliver to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Stockholder), concurrently with its delivery to the Escrow Agent of the Notice, a certification as to the date on which the Notice was delivered to the Stockholder.

(b) If the Stockholder shall give a notice to the Appointed Director (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) (a “Counter Notice”), within 30 days following the date of receipt (as specified in the Appointed Director’s certification) by the Stockholder of a copy of the Notice, disputing whether the Indemnity Claim is indemnifiable under the Reorganization Agreement, the Appointed Director and the Stockholder shall attempt to resolve such dispute by voluntary settlement as provided in paragraph 2(c) below. If no Counter Notice with respect to an Indemnity Claim is received by the Escrow Agent from the Stockholder within such 30-day period, the Indemnity Claim shall be deemed to be an Established Claim (as hereinafter defined) for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) If the Stockholder delivers a Counter Notice to the Escrow Agent, the Appointed Director and the Stockholder shall, during the period of 60 days following the delivery of such Counter Notice or such greater period of time as the parties may agree to in writing (with a copy to the Escrow Agent), attempt to resolve the dispute with respect to which the Counter Notice was given. If the Appointed Director and the Stockholder shall reach a settlement with respect to any such dispute, they shall jointly deliver written notice of such settlement to the Escrow Agent specifying the terms thereof. If the Appointed Director and the Stockholder shall be unable to reach a settlement with respect to a dispute, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to paragraph 2(d) below.

G-2

(d) If the Appointed Director and the Stockholder cannot resolve a dispute prior to expiration of the 60-day period referred to in paragraph 2(c) above (or such longer period as the parties may have agreed to in writing), then such dispute shall be submitted (and either party may submit such dispute) for arbitration before a single arbitrator in New York, New York, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect and the provisions of Section 10.12 of the Reorganization Agreement to the extent that such provisions do not conflict with the provisions of this paragraph. The Appointed Director and the Stockholder shall attempt to agree upon an arbitrator; if they shall be unable to agree upon an arbitrator within 10 days after the dispute is submitted for arbitration, then either the Appointed Director or the Stockholder, upon written notice to the other, may apply for appointment of such arbitrator by the American Arbitration Association. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel used by it and 50% of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and of other expenses of the arbitration. The arbitrator shall render his decision within 90 days after his appointment and may award costs to either the Appointed Director or the Stockholder if, in his sole opinion reasonably exercised, the claims made by the other party had no reasonable basis and were arbitrary and capricious. Such decision and award shall be in writing and shall be final and conclusive on the parties, and counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered to each of the parties. Judgment may be obtained on the decision of the arbitrator so rendered in any New York state court sitting in New York County, or any federal court sitting in the Southern District of New York having jurisdiction, and may be enforced in accordance with the law of the State of New York. If the arbitrator shall fail to render his decision or award within such 90-day period, either the Appointed Director or the Stockholder may apply to any New York state court sitting in New York County, or any federal court sitting in the Southern District of New York then having jurisdiction, by action, proceeding or otherwise, as may be proper to determine the matter in dispute consistently with the provisions of this Agreement. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York courts sitting in New York County, or any federal court having jurisdiction and sitting in the Southern District of New York, for this purpose. The prevailing party (or either party, in the case of a decision or award rendered in part for each party) shall send a copy of the arbitration decision or of any judgment of the court to the Escrow Agent.

(e) As used in this Agreement, “Established Claim” means any (i) Indemnification Claim deemed established pursuant to the last sentence of paragraph 2(b) above, (ii) Indemnification Claim resolved in favor of Parent or a Surviving Corporation by settlement pursuant to paragraph 2(c) above, resulting in a dollar award to Parent or a Surviving Corporation, (iii) Indemnification Claim established by the decision of an arbitrator pursuant to paragraph 2(d) above, resulting in a dollar award to Parent or a Surviving Corporation, (iv) Third Party Claim that has been sustained by a final determination (after exhaustion of any appeals) of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (v) Third Party Claim that the Appointed Director and the Stockholder have jointly notified the Escrow Agent has been settled in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Agreement.

(f) (i) Promptly after an Indemnity Claim becomes an Established Claim, the Appointed Director and the Stockholder shall jointly deliver a notice to the Escrow Agent (a “Joint Notice”) directing the Escrow Agent to pay to Parent, and the Escrow Agent promptly shall pay to Parent, an amount equal to the aggregate dollar amount of the Established Claim (or, if at such time there remains in the Escrow Fund less than the full amount so payable, the full amount remaining in the Escrow Fund).

(ii) Payment of an Established Claim shall be made in shares of Parent Common Stock, pro rata from the account maintained on behalf of each Owner. For purposes of each payment, such shares shall be valued at the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below). However, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be required to calculate Fair Market Value or make a determination of the number of shares to be delivered to Parent in satisfaction of any Established Claim; rather, such calculation shall be included in and made part of the Joint Notice. The Escrow Agent shall transfer to Parent out of the Escrow Fund that number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to satisfy each Established Claim, as set out in the Joint Notice. Any dispute between the Appointed Director and the Stockholder concerning the calculation of Fair Market Value or the number of shares necessary to satisfy any Established Claim, or

G-3

any other dispute regarding a Joint Notice, shall be resolved between the Appointed Director and the Stockholder in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph 2(d) above, and shall not involve the Escrow Agent. Each transfer of shares in satisfaction of an Established Claim shall be made by the Escrow Agent delivering to Parent one or more stock certificates held in each Owner’s account evidencing not less than such Owner’s pro rata portion of the aggregate number of shares specified in the Joint Notice, together with assignments separate from certificate executed in blank by such Owner and completed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with instructions included in the Joint Notice. Upon receipt of the stock certificates and assignments, Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent new certificates representing the number of shares owned by each Owner after such payment. The parties hereto (other than the Escrow Agent) agree that the foregoing right to make payments of Established Claims in shares of Parent Common Stock may be made notwithstanding any other agreements restricting or limiting the ability of any Owner to sell any shares of Parent stock or otherwise. The Appointed Director and the Stockholder shall be required to exercise utmost good faith in all matters relating to the preparation and delivery of each Joint Notice. As used in this Section 2, “Fair Market Value” means the average reported closing price for the Parent Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day the applicable portion of the Escrow Fund is released hereunder.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at such time as an Indemnification Claim has become an Established Claim, the Stockholder shall have the right to substitute, for the Escrow Shares that otherwise would be paid in satisfaction of such claim (the “Claim Shares”), cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Claim Shares (“Substituted Cash”). In such event (i) the Joint Notice shall include a statement describing the substitution of Substituted Cash for the Claim Shares, and (ii) substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of such Joint Notice, the Stockholder shall cause currently available funds to be delivered to the Escrow Agent in an amount equal to the Substituted Cash. Upon receipt of such Joint Notice and Substituted Cash, the Escrow Agent shall (y) in payment of the Established Claim described in the Joint Notice, deliver the Substituted Cash to Parent in lieu of the Claim Shares, and (z) cause the Claim Shares to be returned to the Stockholder.

3. On the first Business Day after the expiration of the Escrow Period, the Escrow Agent shall distribute and deliver to each Owner certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock then in such Owner’s account in the Escrow Fund, unless at such time there are any Indemnity Claims with respect to which Notices have been received but which have not been resolved pursuant to Section 2 hereof or in respect of which the Escrow Agent has not been notified of, and received a copy of, a final determination (after exhaustion of any appeals) by a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be (in either case, “Pending Claims”), and which, if resolved or finally determined in favor of Parent or a Surviving Corporation, would result in a payment to Parent, in which case the Escrow Agent shall retain, and the total amount of such distributions to such Owner shall be reduced by, the “Pending Claims Reserve” (as hereafter defined). The Appointed Director shall certify to the Escrow Agent the Fair Market Value to be used in calculating the Pending Claims Reserve and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be retained therefor. Thereafter, if any Pending Claim becomes an Established Claim, the Appointed Director and the Stockholder shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent to pay to Parent an amount in respect thereof determined in accordance with paragraph 2(f) above, and to deliver to each Owner shares of Parent Common Stock then in such owner’s account in the Escrow Fund having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount by which the remaining portion of his account in the Escrow Fund exceeds the then Pending Claims Reserve (determined as set forth below), all as specified in a Joint Notice. If any Pending Claim is resolved against Parent, the Appointed Director and the Stockholder shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent to pay to each Owner the amount by which the remaining portion of his account in the Escrow Fund exceeds the then Pending Claims Reserve. Upon resolution of all Pending Claims, the Appointed Director and the Stockholder shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent shall pay to each Owner the remaining portion of his or her account in the Escrow Fund.

G-4

As used herein, the “Pending Claims Reserve” shall mean, at the time any such determination is made, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Fund having a Fair Market Value equal to the sum of the aggregate dollar amounts claimed to be due with respect to all Pending Claims (as shown in the Notices of such Claims). As used in this Section 3, “Fair Market Value” means the average reported closing price for the Parent Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day the Pending Claims Reserve determination is made.

4. The Escrow Agent, the Appointed Director and the Stockholder shall cooperate in all respects with one another in the calculation of any amounts determined to be payable to Parent and the Owners in accordance with this Agreement and in implementing the procedures necessary to effect such payments.

5. (a) The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein. It is understood that the Escrow Agent is not a trustee or fiduciary and is acting hereunder merely in a ministerial capacity.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

(c) The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility upon receipt of any notice requiring any payment to Parent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or, if such notice is disputed by the Appointed Director or the Stockholder, the settlement with respect to any such dispute, whether by virtue of joint resolution, arbitration or determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, is to pay to Parent the amount specified in such notice, and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to determine the validity, authenticity or enforceability of any specification or certification made in such notice.

(d) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, and may consult with counsel of its own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and indemnification under Section 5(g), below, for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

(e) The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder by its giving the other parties hereto written notice and such resignation shall become effective as hereinafter provided. Such resignation shall become effective at such time that the Escrow Agent shall turn over the Escrow Fund to a successor escrow agent appointed jointly by the Appointed Director and the Stockholder. If no new escrow agent is so appointed within the 60 day period following the giving of such notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Fund with any court in the Southern District of New York it deems reasonably appropriate.

(f) In the event of a dispute between the parties as to the proper disposition of the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled (but not required) to deliver the Escrow Fund into the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and, upon giving notice to the Appointed Director and the Stockholder of such action, shall thereupon be relieved of all further responsibility and liability.

(g) The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by Parent from and against any expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises

G-5

out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the Escrow Fund held by it hereunder, other than expenses or losses arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. Promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall notify the other parties hereto in writing. In the event of the receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in the nature of interpleader in an appropriate court to determine ownership or disposition of the Escrow Fund or it may deposit the Escrow Fund with the clerk of any appropriate court and be relieved of any liability with respect thereto or it may retain the Escrow Fund pending receipt of a final, non-appealable order of a court having jurisdiction over all of the parties hereto directing to whom and under what circumstances the Escrow Fund are to be disbursed and delivered.

(h) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from Parent for all services rendered by it hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall also be entitled to reimbursement from Parent for all expenses paid or incurred by it in the administration of its duties hereunder including, but not limited to, all counsel, advisors’ and agents’ fees and disbursements and all taxes or other governmental charges.

(i) From time to time on and after the date hereof, the Appointed Director and the Stockholder shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do or cause to be done such further acts as the Escrow Agent shall reasonably request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.

(j) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not be relieved from liability hereunder for its own gross negligence or its own willful misconduct.

6. This Agreement expressly sets forth all the duties of the Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto. No implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by the provisions of any agreement among the parties hereto except this Agreement and shall have no duty to inquire into the terms and conditions of any agreement made or entered into in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Reorganization Agreement.

7. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein. This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated except by a writing signed by the Appointed Director, the Stockholder and the Escrow Agent.

2. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

2.1 Demand Registration.

2.1.1. Request for Registration. At any time and from time to time on or after the Release Date, the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities held by the Investors or the transferees of the Investors, may make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”). Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will notify all holders of Registrable Securities of the demand, and each holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify the Company within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.1.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of two (2) Demand Registrations under this Section 2.1.1 in respect of Registrable Securities.

H-2

2.1.2. Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.

2.1.3. Underwritten Offering. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise the Company as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority-in-interest of the holders initiating the Demand Registration.

2.1.4. Reduction of Offering. Subject to the rights of the holders of securities issued or issuable upon exercise of those certain unit purchase options issued to the underwriters and/or its designees in connection with the Company’s initial public offering in December 2005 (the “Unit Purchase Options”), if the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other shareholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, as a group, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders and the Founders Securities as to which registration as demanded (pro rata among each such holder in accordance with the number of securities which such holder has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the quantity of securities held by such holder) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares have not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), the shares of Common Stock that other shareholders desire to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

H-3

2.1.5. Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.1.1.

2.2 Piggy-Back Registration.

2.2.1. Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time, or from time to time, on or after the Release Date the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for shareholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.

2.2.2. Reduction of Offering. Subject to the rights of the holders of the Unit Purchase Options, if the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock which the Company desires to sell, taken together with shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.2, and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration:

(i) If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock, if any, including the Registrable Securities and the Founding Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of security holders

H-4

(pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Common Stock which each such person has actually requested to be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which such persons have the right to request such inclusion) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and

(ii) If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, (A) first, the shares of Common Stock for the account of the demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, as a group, the Registrable Securities and Founding Securities to which registration has been requested (pro rata among each holder of such securities in accordance with the number of securities which such holder has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the quantity of securities held by such holder) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of security holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Common Stock which each such person has actually requested to be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which such persons have the right to request such inclusion) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

2.2.3. Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company may also elect to withdraw a registration statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.

2.3 Registrations on Form S-3. The holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities may at any time and from time to time, request in writing that the Company register the resale of any or all of such Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration which may be available at such time (“Form S-3”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such request through an underwritten offering. Upon receipt of such written request, the Company will promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and, as soon as practicable thereafter, effect the registration of all or such portion of such holder’s or holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other holder or holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.3: (i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) if the holders of the Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $7,500,000. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1.

3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

3.1 Filings; Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

3.1.1. Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible and in any event within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.3, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the period required by Section 3.1.3; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty (30) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any demand registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time; provided further, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding proviso more than once in any 365-day period in respect of a Demand Registration hereunder.

3.1.2. Copies. The Company shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration, and such holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and such other documents as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration or legal counsel for any such holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holders and shall provide such persons with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on same, which review and comment shall not be unreasonable and shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement (which period shall not exceed the sum of one hundred eighty (180) days plus any period during which any such disposition is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any governmental agency or court) or such securities have been withdrawn.

3.1.4. Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) business days after such filing, notify the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within two (2) business days of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the

H-6

Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and the Company shall not file any Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, to which such holders or their legal counsel shall object.

3.1.5. State Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (e) or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

3.1.6. Agreements for Disposition. The Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement. No holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement shall be required to make any representations or warranties in the underwriting agreement except, if applicable, with respect to such holder’s organization, good standing, authority, title to Registrable Securities, lack of conflict of such sale with such holder’s material agreements and organizational documents, and with respect to written information relating to such holder that such holder has furnished in writing expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement.

3.1.7. Cooperation. The principal executive officer of the Company, the principal financial officer of the Company, the principal accounting officer of the Company and all other officers and members of the management of the Company shall cooperate fully in any offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the preparation of the Registration Statement with respect to such offering and all other offering materials and related documents, and participation in meetings with Underwriters, attorneys, accountants and potential investors.

3.1.8. Records.

The Company shall furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement a signed counterpart, addressed to such holder, of (i) any opinion of counsel to the Company delivered to any Underwriter and (ii) any comfort letter from the Company’s independent public accountants delivered to any Underwriter. In the event no legal opinion is delivered to any Underwriter, the Company shall furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, at any time that such holder elects to use a prospectus, an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that the Registration Statement containing such prospectus has been declared effective and that no stop order is in effect.

3.1.10. Earnings Statement. The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the Securities Act, and make available to its shareholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months, beginning within three (3) months after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

3.1.11. Listing. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities included in any registration to be listed on such exchanges or otherwise designated for trading in the same manner as similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or designated or, if no such similar securities are then listed or designated, in a manner satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration.

3.2 Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1.4(iv), or, in the case of a resale registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, upon any suspension by the Company, pursuant to a written insider trading compliance program adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, of the ability of all “insiders” covered by such program to transact in the Company’s securities because of the existence of material non-public information, each holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1.4(iv) or the restriction on the ability of “insiders” to transact in the Company’s securities is removed, as applicable, and, if so directed by the Company, each such holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

3.3 Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 2.2, and any registration on Form S-3 effected pursuant to Section 2.3, and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing expenses; (iv) the Company’s internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees); (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities as required by Section 3.1.11; (vi) National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. fees; (vii) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses or costs associated with the delivery of any opinions or comfort letters requested pursuant to Section 3.1.9); (viii) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration; and (ix) the fees and expenses of one legal counsel selected by the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included in such registration.

H-8

Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the holders thereof, which underwriting discounts or selling commissions shall be borne by such holders. Additionally, in an underwritten offering, all selling stockholders and the Company shall bear the expenses of the underwriter pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of shares each is selling in such offering.

3.4 Information. The holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws.

4. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

4.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls an Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein. The Company also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such Underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 4.1.

4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any), and each other person, if any, who controls such selling holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information

H-9

furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder.

4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

4.4 Contribution.

4.4.1. If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

4.4.2. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to

H-10

Re: Merger with American Apparel

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as counsel to Endeavor Acquisition Corp. (“Endeavor”), a Delaware corporation, in connection with:

(a) the proposed merger of American Apparel, Inc. (“AAI”), a California corporation, into Endeavor’s wholly owned subsidiary AAI Acquisition LLC, (“Merger Sub”), a California limited liability company;

(b) the concurrent exchange of all of the outstanding capital stock of each of the Canadian Companies set forth on Schedule A of the Acquisition Agreement (the “CI companies”) for shares of common stock of Endeavor; and

The outstanding capital stock of AAI is owned equally by Mr. Charney and Mr. Lim. The outstanding capital stock of the CI companies is owned by Mr. Charney. The aggregate consideration to be delivered to Mr. Charney by Endeavor in connection with the merger and exchange is 37,258,065 shares of Endeavor common stock, subject to downward adjustment, based on American Apparel’s net debt at Closing. If Mr. Charney does not purchase all of Mr. Lim’s equity interests in the American Apparel companies, immediately prior to the acquisition and by December 15, 2007, Endeavor will buy out Mr. Lim’s equity interests for approximately $67.8 million. As a result of the merger and transfer of capital stock, AAI will be merged with and into Merger Sub and Merger Sub will survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of Endeavor. You have requested our opinion in connection with the federal income tax consequences of the proposed merger to Endeavor and the stockholders of Endeavor.

FACTS

The relevant facts are set forth in the Proxy Statement pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2007, File No. 001-32692, as amended (the “Proxy Statement”), and the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of December 18, 2006, and amended and restated as of November 7, 2007 among Endeavor, Merger Sub, AAI, LLC, CI companies, Dov Charney, Sang Ho Lim and the stockholders of each of the CI companies (the “Acquisition Agreement”). For purposes of this opinion we have assumed and rely upon the truth and accuracy of the facts as set forth in the aforesaid documents.

I-1

Endeavor Acquisition Corp.

[Closing Date]

Page 2

A summary of the facts are as follows: Endeavor was organized July 22, 2005 to effect a business combination with an operating business. Its assets consist primarily of cash in a trust account. The outstanding units, common stock and warrants of Endeavor are publicly held and are traded on the American Stock Exchange. AAI, organized many years ago, is a vertically-integrated manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of branded fashion basic apparel. As of May 31, 2007, American Apparel operated 157 retail stores in 11 countries: the United States, Canada, Mexico, England, Germany, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Israel, Japan and South Korea. American Apparel also operates a leading wholesale business that supplies t-shirts and other casual wear to distributors and screen printers. LLC is currently inactive. Dov Charney (“Mr. Charney”) is owner of 50% of the outstanding capital stock of AAI and 50% of the outstanding membership interests of LLC; Sang Ho Lim (“Mr. Lim”) is the owner of the remaining 50% of the outstanding capital stock of AAI and the remaining 50% of the outstanding membership interests of LLC.

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement:

•

immediately prior to the acquisition, Mr. Charney will purchase all of the outstanding capital stock and membership interests of the American Apparel companies owned by Mr. Lim for approximately $67.8 million if effected by December 15, 2007 (“Lim Buyout”) or if Mr. Charney does not affect the Lim Buyout, Endeavor will affect it directly;

•

immediately prior to the acquisition, all of the membership interests of LLC will be transferred to AAI;

•

AAI will be merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Endeavor; and

•

all of the outstanding capital stock of each of the CI companies will be exchanged for shares of common stock of Endeavor, with all of the CI companies surviving the transaction as wholly owned subsidiaries of Endeavor.

Of the shares to be issued to Mr. Charney at the Closing, 8,064,516 shares will be placed in escrow to secure Endeavor’s indemnity rights under the Acquisition Agreement. This escrow will be governed by the terms of an Escrow Agreement. Mr. Charney retains the right to vote his shares and receive cash dividends on the escrowed shares. Under Section 2(f)(iii) of the Escrow Agreement, Mr. Charney may substitute cash for the escrowed stock.

In the proposed merger, all of the assets of AAI will be acquired by Merger Sub and Endeavor will continue to own 100% of the outstanding common stock of Merger Sub. All of the stockholders of AAI have approved the acquisition and the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement. Mr. Charney has agreed not to sell any of the Endeavor common stock he receives in the Acquisition until the third anniversary of the Closing, subject to certain exceptions.

Endeavor’s stockholders will continue to hold the shares of Endeavor common stock that they owned prior to the merger. Holders of Endeavor common stock issued in its IPO have the right to vote against the acquisition proposal and demand that Endeavor convert such shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

THE LAW

Section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”) provides that gross income includes “gains derived from dealings in property.” IRC section 1001 provides that the sale or exchange of property shall be a taxable event and gain “shall be the excess of the amount realized from the sale or other disposition of property over the adjusted basis” of the property.

Certain types of exchanges, however, are afforded nonrecognition treatment where the exchange does not change the taxpayer’s capital investment, but merely the form in which he holds it. In these cases, the potential gain for recognition is preserved by substituting the basis of the relinquished property for the basis of the property received.

To qualify for nonrecognition of gain and tax free exchange treatment the exchanges of property and exchange of stock or securities for stock or securities must be pursuant to a “reorganization.” The term “reorganization” is defined by IRC section 368(a)(1)(A) to include mergers. IRC section 368(a)(2)(D) encompasses within the term “reorganization” a forward subsidiary merger. This type of reorganization is effected by a merger of the target into a newly formed subsidiary, in which the target shareholders receive in exchange for their target stock either solely stock of the parent corporation or parent stock and boot (e.g., cash). The Treasury Regulations require that, in order for a forward subsidiary merger to qualify for nonrecognition treatment, the merger of the target into the subsidiary must be a transaction which “would have qualified under section 368(a)(1)(A) if the merger had been into the controlling corporation.” Treas. Reg. § 1.368-2(b)(2). Thus the same amount of non-stock consideration that could be given in a two-party section 368(a)(1)(A) merger can be given in a forward subsidiary merger. In the forward subsidiary merger, the subsidiary must acquire “substantially all” of the target’s assets. IRC § 368(a)(2)(D). No stock of the subsidiary can be used in the transaction. IRC § 368(a)(2)(D)(i). The subsidiary and the parent may each assume target’s liabilities. Treas. Reg. § 1.368-2(b)(2). As in the case of any reorganization classified as a merger, the continuity of interest requirement must be satisfied.

With respect to the necessary degree of continuity of interest (“COI”) in a merger, Martin Ginsburg and Jack Levin (“Ginsburg and Levin”) in their treatise, Merger, Acquisitions, and Buyouts, state:

Effective 9/05 IRS/Treasury at long last finalized regulations (T.D. 9225), and in 3/07 superseding but consistent temporary regulations (T.D. 9316), adopting (in an example) a 40%-is-good COI test. Thus, the old maxim, “for COI you need 50% P stock for an IRS ruling, 40% P stock for a tax practitioner’s opinion,” has become simply, “for COI you need 40% P stock.” See Temp. Reg.§ 1.368-1T(e)(2)(v) example (1).

2 MARTIN D. GINSBURG & JACK S. LEVIN, MERGER, ACQUISITIONS, AND BUYOUTS ¶ 610.2, at 6-244 (JUL 2007).

Each of the foregoing requirements for a forward subsidiary merger is to be complied with in the proposed merger of AAI into Merger Sub.

Treasury Regulations section 1.368-1T(e)(2) provides that to determine whether the continuity of interest requirement is met, the amount of cash and stock portions of the merger consideration shall be valued on the last business day before the first date a binding contract is signed, if such contract provides for fixed consideration which can consist of stock, money and other property.

Endeavor’s acquisition of AAI calls for the issuance of only stock to Mr. Charney if he purchases Mr. Lim’s stock interest in AAI prior to the merger and cash to Mr. Lim if Mr. Charney does not effect the purchase of Mr. Lim’s ownership interests by the date of Closing. Thus the date for testing the continuity of interest is as of November 7, 2007, the date of the signing of the binding Acquisition Agreement. On that date the Endeavor common stock traded at a price of $12.30 per share on the American Stock Exchange. Assuming that Mr. Charney does not purchase Mr. Lim’s stock interests in AAI then the breakdown of the proportionate division of stock and cash is:


	Approximate Values		Percentages
Endeavor common stock to Mr. Charney:
37,258,065 shares @ $12.30 per share	$	458.3 million	87	%
Endeavor cash to Mr. Lim:		67.8 million	13	%

Total		526.1 million	100	%

If 20% of the merger consideration is attributable to the CI companies (based on the comparative EBITDA of the CI companies to the total of American Apparel for the year 2006), this would reduce the total merger consideration for AAI by twenty percent to $421 million, with the balance of $105 million being allocable to the acquisition of the CI companies. Endeavor’s payment for acquiring the stock of AAI would be $353 million in stock to Mr. Charney and $67.8 million in cash to Mr. Lim. The proportions of merger consideration would be 16% in cash and 84% in stock, more than sufficient to satisfy the continuity of shareholder interest tests.

IRC section 354(a)(1) provides that, with respect to a shareholder, “no gain or loss is recognized if stock or securities in a corporation a party to a reorganization are, in pursuance of the plan of reorganization, exchanged solely for stock or securities in such corporation or in another corporation a party to the reorganization.” A shareholder is taxable to the extent cash is received. IRC section 356(a) provides that if property other than stock or securities is received by a stockholder pursuant to a plan of reorganization, gain is recognized in an amount not in excess of the sum of money and the fair market value of other property received.

IRC section 358 provides that in the case of an exchange to which section 354 applies, the “basis of the property permitted to be received under such section without the recognition of gain or loss shall be the same as that of the property exchanged.” IRC section 361(a) provides that “[n]o gain or loss shall be recognized to a corporation if such corporation is a party to a reorganization and exchanges property, in pursuance of the plan or reorganization, solely for stock or securities in another corporation a party to the reorganization.” IRC section 361(b) provides that the target corporation does not recognize gain or loss on the exchange even if it receives other property in addition to stock or securities if the corporation distributes the other property pursuant to the plan of reorganization.

IRC section 1032 provides that “[n]o gain or loss shall be recognized to a corporation on the receipt of money or other property in exchange for stock (including treasury stock) of such corporation.” The Internal Revenue Service holds that a subsidiary recognizes no gain or loss upon the issuance of its parent’s stock in connection with a reorganization. See Treas. Reg. §1.1032-2; Rev. Rul. 57-278, 1957-1 Cum. Bul. 124.

IRC section 1221 defines a “capital asset” as property held by the taxpayer other than stock in trade, inventory, property held primarily for sale to customers, depreciable property, real property used in trade or business, and certain other specified types of property. IRC section 1222(3) defines “long-term capital gain” as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset held for more than one year.

OPINION

Assuming that the above factual statements are the same on the Effective Date, our opinion of the federal income tax consequences of the proposed merger, transfer and acquisition to Endeavor, Endeavor stockholders and AAI, based upon existing provisions of the IRC, is:

1. The merger of AAI into Merger Sub will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of IRC section 368(a).

2. No gain or loss will be recognized by Endeavor upon the issuance of its stock in connection with the proposed merger.

3. No gain or loss will be recognized by Merger Sub in connection with the proposed merger.

4. No gain or loss will recognized by stockholders of Endeavor if their conversion rights are not exercised.

5. A stockholder of Endeavor who exercises conversion rights and effects a termination of the stockholder’s interest in Endeavor will be required to recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of that stockholder’s shares of common stock of Endeavor for cash. Such gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of that stockholder’s shares of Endeavor common stock. This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the merger and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the share of Endeavor common stock is more than one year.

6. No gain or loss will be recognized by AAI in connection with the proposed merger.

This opinion is furnished to you for your benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement and may not be relied upon by any other person or used for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

We consent to the inclusion of a copy of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and to the references to this opinion and to this firm in the Prospectus.

Very truly yours,

The Company reserves the right to change or otherwise modify, in its sole discretion, the benefits offered herein to conform to the Company’s general policies as may be changed from time to time during the term of this Agreement. Executive shall also be entitled to continue to use the Target Companies’ residential apartments and vehicles maintained by the Target Companies for use by its executives and other employees.

6.6 Expenses. Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by Executive in connection with Company’s business, provided that such expenses are deductible to Company and do not result in an excise tax to Executive under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), are in accordance with Company’s applicable policy and are properly documented and accounted for in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service.

7. Termination Events.

7.1 Permanent Incapacity. This Agreement and Executive’s employment with the Company shall automatically terminate on the date on which Executive dies or becomes permanently incapacitated. “Permanent incapacity” as used herein shall mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity or the receipt of income replacement benefits for a period of three (3) months or more under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. Executive shall be deemed to have “become permanently incapacitated” on the date 30 days after the Company has determined that Executive is permanently incapacitated and so notifies Executive.

7.2 Termination By The Company With Cause. Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company with cause in the event of any of the following actions by Executive: (i) willful and continued failure to fully perform material duties under this Agreement (other than Permanent Incapacity), (ii) willful and continued failure or refusal to follow material written directions of the Company’s Board consistent with Executive’s authority, duties and responsibilities, (iii) the commission by Executive of an act of fraud or embezzlement against the Company, (iv) the conviction of Executive or Executive entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime that constitutes a felony (“Cause”). In this regard, the parties acknowledge that the Executive is a party with respect to the case captioned as Mary Nelson v. American Apparel, Inc., et al., Case Number BC333028, filed in Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Central District and agree that this case shall not be used as the basis for a termination with Cause under this Section 7.2, regardless of the outcome. Executive shall have a period of thirty (30) days to cure any acts which would otherwise give the Company the right to terminate employment with Cause starting at the date of receipt of written notice of the Company’s Board’s intent to terminate Executive with Cause. Such notice shall state in reasonable detail the acts which the Company considers to be grounds for such termination. Executive shall be provided a reasonable opportunity during such 30-day period to hear and consider the evidence against him and a reasonable opportunity to provide information or other defense relevant to the decision to terminate with Cause.

7.3 Termination Without Cause. Subject to the terms set forth in Section 8 below, Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company “without cause” by providing a (30) day written notice of such termination.

7.4 Termination for Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment for “Good Reason” effective upon delivery of written notice to the Company, which shall be given no later than 90 days from the date the Company takes one of the following actions without Executive’s consent: (i) assignment to Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with his authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action which results in a material diminution or adverse change in such authority, duties or responsibilities, (ii) a material breach of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement that is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice, or (iii) a material reduction in Executive’s annual base salary or bonus opportunities, which is not related to any failure by Executive to satisfy mutually agreed upon performance goals.

Executive shall not be entitled to any other consideration or compensation.

8.2 Payment Upon Termination Without Cause Or For Good Reason. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause or (ii) by Executive for Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to the following: (1) a lump sum payment on the 15th day following Executive’s termination of employment of a pro rata portion of his annual and long term performance bonuses for the year in which he is terminated as if 100% of the performance targets were met, (2) a lump sum payment on the 15th day following Executive’s termination of employment equal to the greater of (x) annual base salary for the remainder of Executive’s employment contract or (y) two (2) times the sum of Executive’s annual base salary and maximum annual performance bonus, (3) immediate vesting of all equity awards granted to Executive by the Company and (4) all lock-up restrictions on all of Executive’s stock in the Company shall immediately lapse (collectively referred to as, “Severance Benefits”); provided, however, that to the extent required under Section 409A of the Code, all Severance Benefits shall be made or become effective, as applicable, on the first business day following the six-month period immediately following the Executive’s date of termination, plus interest thereon, at a rate equal to the applicable “Federal short-term rate” (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code) for the month in which such date of termination occurs, from the respective dates on which such amounts would otherwise have been paid until the actual date of payment; except that, in the event of Executive’s death all Severance Benefits shall be made or become effective, as applicable, immediately following the date of Executive’s death.

8.3 Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive’s employment shall be treated as having terminated only if the Executive shall have incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance issued thereunder.

9. Gross-Up.

9.1 Whether or not Executive becomes entitled to payments under Section 8 of this Agreement, if any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by Executive in connection with a “Change in Control,” as defined in Section 10 below, or Executives termination of employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any Person, as defined below, affiliated with the Company, any Person whose actions result in a change in control or any Person affiliated with the Company or such Person) (all such payments and benefits, excluding the Gross-Up Payment being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) will be subject to the excise tax imposed under section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), the Company shall pay to Executive an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by Executive, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Total Payments and any federal, state and local income and employment taxes and Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment, and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments.

9.2 For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) all of the Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” (within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) unless, in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) reasonably acceptable to Executive and selected by the accounting firm which was, immediately prior to the Change in Control, the Company’s independent auditor (the “Auditor”), such payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, including by reason of section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code, (ii) all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of section 280G(b)(l) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax unless, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered (within the meaning of section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code) in excess of the Base Amount, as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, allocable to such reasonable compensation, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (iii) the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Auditor in accordance with the principles of sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, (1) Executive shall be deemed to pay federal

income tax at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of Executive’s residence on the date of termination (or if there is no date of termination, then the date on which the Gross-Up Payment is calculated for purposes of this Section 9), net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes and (2) Executive shall be deemed to be subject to the loss of itemized deductions and personal exemptions to the maximum extent provided by the Code for each dollar of incremental income.

9.3 In the event that the Excise Tax is finally determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall repay to the Company, within five (5) business days following the time that the amount of such reduction in the Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus that portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal, state and local income and employment taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by Executive), to the extent that such repayment results in a reduction in the Excise Tax and a dollar-for-dollar reduction in Executive’s taxable income and wages for purposes of federal, state and local income and employment taxes, plus interest on the amount of such repayment at 120% of the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Gross-Up Payment (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest, penalties or additions payable by Executive with respect to such excess) within five (5) business days following the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. Executive and the Company shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to the Total Payments.

9.4 Any Gross-Up Payments under this Section 9 shall be made as soon as practicable but in no event later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is paid.

10. Change in Control

10.1 Change in Control Defined. A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if the event set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred:

(a) any Person, as defined below, is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, as defined below, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates) representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities, excluding any Person who becomes such a Beneficial Owner in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation immediately following which the individuals who comprise the Board immediately prior thereto constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of (a) any parent of the Company or the entity surviving such merger or consolidation (b) if there is no such parent, of the Company or such surviving entity;

(b) the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving: individuals who, on the date hereof, constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the date hereof or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended;

(c) there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation or other entity, other than a merger or consolidation immediately following which the individuals who comprise the Board immediately prior thereto constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of (a) any parent of the Company or the entity surviving such merger or consolidation or (b) if there is no such parent, of the Company or such surviving entity; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the common stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.

10.2 Person Defined. “Person” shall have the meaning given in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (the “Exchange Act”), as modified and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, except that such term shall not include (i) the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under Section 12 of the Exchange Act), (iii) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (iv) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company.

11. Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights.

11.1 Confidentiality. Executive acknowledges that as a result of his employment with the Company and his prior employment with the Target Companies, Executive has obtained and will obtain secret and confidential information concerning the business of the Company, the Target Companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates (all of such entities referred to collectively in this Section, as the “Company”). Other than in the performance of his duties hereunder, Executive agrees not to disclose, either during the Term of his employment with the Company or at any time thereafter, to any person, firm or corporation any confidential information concerning the Company which is not in the public domain including trade secrets, budgets, strategies, operating plans, marketing plans, supplier lists, non-public company agreements, employee lists, or the customer lists or similar confidential information of the Company.

11.2 Proprietary Rights. All records, files, memoranda, reports, price lists, customer lists, drawings, plans, sketches, documents and the like (together with all copies thereof) relating to the business of the Company and/or its subsidiaries, which Executive shall use or prepare or come in contact with in the course of, or as a result of his employment, or as a result of work performed by Executive for the Company, shall, as between the parties, remain the sole property of the Companies. Upon termination of his employment with the Company, Executive agrees to immediately return all such materials and shall not thereafter cause removal thereof from the premises of the Company. Further, the Executive agrees to disclose and assign, and does hereby assign, to the Company as its exclusive property, all ideas, writings, inventions, discoveries, improvements and technical or business innovations made or conceived by the Executive, whether or not patentable or copyrightable, either solely or jointly with others during the course of his employment with the Company, relating directly to the business, work or investigations of the Company or its subsidiaries (“Company Inventions”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive understands that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of Company Inventions to the Company do not apply to any invention which qualifies under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870 (as set forth in Exhibit A hereto). Executive understands that Company will keep in confidence and will not disclose to third parties without Executive’s consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to Company relating to inventions that qualify under the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code.

12. Miscellaneous.

12.1 Transfer and Assignment. This Agreement is personal as to Executive and shall not be assigned or transferred by Executive. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties hereto and their respective permitted heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

12.2 Severability. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require the commission of any act contrary to law. Should there be any conflict between any provisions hereof and any present or future statute, law, ordinance, regulation or other pronouncement having the force of law, the latter shall prevail, but the provision of this Agreement affected thereby shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring it within the requirements of the law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

12.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

12.4 Arbitration of Disputes. The Company and Executive agree that any and all disputes based upon, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, Executive’s employment relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and/or the termination of that relationship, and/or any other dispute by and between Executive and the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, including any and all claims that Executive may at any time attempt to assert against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Los Angeles County, California, pursuant to the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures, including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection (the “Rules”), provided that the arbitrator shall allow for discovery sufficient to adequately arbitrate any asserted claims, including access to essential documents and witnesses, and otherwise in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure § 1283.05, and provided further that the Rules shall be modified by the arbitrator to the extent necessary to be consistent with applicable law. The arbitrator shall be a retired judge of the California Superior Court, California Court of Appeal, or United States District Court, to be mutually agreed upon by the parties. If, however, the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, then an arbitrator who is a retired judge of the California Superior Court, California Court of Appeal, or United States District Court, shall be selected by AAA in accordance with the Rules. The Company and Executive further agree that each party shall pay its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any; provided, however, that if either party prevails on a claim which affords the prevailing party an award of attorneys’ fees, then the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, consistent with applicable law. In any event, the Company shall pay any expenses that Executive would not otherwise have incurred if the dispute had been adjudicated in a court of law, rather than through arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fee, any administrative fee and any filing fee in excess of the maximum court filing fee in the jurisdiction in which the arbitration is commenced. The Company and Executive further agree that any hearing must be transcribed by a certified shorthand reporter, and that the arbitrator shall issue a written decision and award supported by essential findings of fact and conclusions of law in order to facilitate judicial review. Said award and decision shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the completion of the arbitration. Judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction may be had on said decision and award of the arbitrator. For these purposes, the parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

12.5 Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the services being rendered by Executive to the Company under this Agreement (and which were rendered to the Target Companies prior to the date of this Agreement) are of a special, unique and extraordinary character that gives them peculiar value to the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates, the loss of which (in violation of this Agreement) would cause irreparable harm to the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates, for which the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates would have no adequate remedy at law. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the trade secrets and confidential and related information referred to in this Agreement each are of substantial value to the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates and that a breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement relating to those subjects would cause irreparable harm to the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates, for which the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates would have no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in addition to any other remedies (in law or in equity) that may be available to the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates under this Agreement or otherwise, the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates shall be entitled to obtain (pursuant to the Rules) temporary restraining orders, preliminary and permanent injunctions and/or other equitable relief (pursuant to the Rules) to specifically enforce Executive’s duties and obligations under this Agreement, or to enjoin any breach of this Agreement, without the need to post a bond or other security and without the need to demonstrate special damages.

12.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts and all documents so executed shall constitute one agreement, binding on all of the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all of the parties did not sign the original or the same counterparts.

12.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements, arrangements and understandings with respect thereto. No representation, promise, inducement, statement or intention has been made by any party hereto that is not embodied herein, and no party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise, inducement, or statement not so set forth herein.

12.8 Modification. This Agreement may be modified, amended, superseded or cancelled, and any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by all of the parties hereto.

12.9 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In the event of any dispute arising out of the subject matter of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall recover, in addition to any other damages assessed, its attorneys’ fees, legal expenses and costs incurred in arbitrating or otherwise attempting to enforce this Agreement or resolve such dispute. In construing this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any term or provision construed against such party solely by reason of such party having drafted or written such term or provision.

12.10 Waiver. The waiver by either of the parties, express or implied, of any right under this Agreement or any failure to perform under this Agreement by the other party, shall not constitute or be deemed as a waiver of any other right under this Agreement or of any other failure to perform under this Agreement by the other party, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature.

12.11 Cumulative Remedies. Each and all of the several rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, or by law or in equity, shall be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and the exercise of any one of such rights or remedies shall not be deemed a waiver of, or an election to exercise, any other such right or remedy.

12.12 Headings. The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning and interpretation of this Agreement.

12.13 Notices. Any notice under this Agreement must be in writing and may be: (i) telecopied, (ii) sent by overnight courier, (iii) hand-delivered, or (iv) sent by United States mail, to the party to be notified at the following address:
