CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Our U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings and public announcements often include forward-looking statements about future events. Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. We intend for all such forward-looking statements contained herein, the entire contents of our website, and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (which Sections were adopted as part of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Important assumptions relating to these forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, expected pricing levels, raw material costs, the timing and cost of planned capital expenditures, expected outcomes of pending litigation and regulatory actions, competitive conditions, general economic conditions and expected synergies in connection with acquisitions and joint ventures. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations, based on currently available information, and are not guarantees of performance. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations could prove inaccurate as such statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Important factors relating to these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors contained in our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K, as updated by Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this report, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
We caution that one should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date this report is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We disclaim any intention, obligation or duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

OXFORD INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2007
1.   Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We believe the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for our fiscal year primarily due to the impact of seasonality on our business. The accounting policies applied during the interim periods presented are consistent with the significant and critical accounting policies as described in our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements and notes thereto included in our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K.
 
    As disclosed in our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K, we sold substantially all of the assets of our Womenswear Group on June 2, 2006. Therefore, the results of operations of the Womenswear Group have been reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of earnings. The assets and liabilities related to the Womenswear Group for all periods presented have been reclassified to current assets, non-current assets, current liabilities and non-current liabilities related to discontinued operations, as applicable.
 
    Certain amounts in our prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Table of Contents

    The U.S. Revolver, the U.K. Revolver and the Senior Unsecured Notes each include certain debt covenant restrictions that require us or our subsidiaries to maintain certain financial ratios that we believe are customary for similar facilities. The U.S. Revolver also includes limitations on certain restricted payments such as earn-outs, payment of dividends and prepayment of debt. As of March 2, 2007, we were compliant with all financial covenants and restricted payment clauses related to our debt agreements.
 
    Our U.S. Revolver and U.K. Revolver are used to finance trade letters of credit and standby letters of credit, as well as provide funding for other operating activities and acquisitions, if any. As of March 2, 2007, approximately $58.3 million of trade letters of credit and other limitations on availability were outstanding against our U.S. Revolver and our U.K. Revolver. The combined net availability under our U.S. Revolver and U.K. Revolver agreements was approximately $235.7 million as of March 2, 2007.
 
4.   Restructuring Charges: During the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006, we incurred certain charges related to restructuring in our Menswear Group as discussed below.
 
    Fiscal 2007 Restructuring Charges
 
    During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, we incurred severance charges of $1.4 million and $0.5 million in Corporate and Other and our Menswear Group, respectively. The impact of these severance payments in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Approximately $0.4 million of the amount in Corporate and Other was related to the acceleration of unvested restricted stock awards which would have otherwise been forfeited by the employees.
 
    Fiscal 2006 Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
 
    During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we decided to close certain of our manufacturing plants in the Dominican Republic and Honduras, all of which were leased from third parties and to shut down our support functions at our Monroe, Georgia facility. The facilities in the Dominican Republic were closed during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and the facility in Honduras was closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The support functions at our Monroe, Georgia facility ceased and were consolidated with the support functions of our Lyons, Georgia facility during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.
 
    As a result of these decisions, we wrote down the value of certain machinery, equipment and other assets, sold certain equipment, and incurred certain severance costs during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The total charge for these items in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 was $1.0 million, substantially all of which was recognized in cost of goods sold. Fair value of the machinery and equipment was determined for the assets based on the proceeds expected to be received upon the disposition of the machinery and equipment. Additionally, operating losses at these facilities that were closed during fiscal 2006 totaled approximately $0.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. An additional charge of approximately $1.8 million related to these decisions was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

6.   Stock Compensation: In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123R), which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS 123). FAS 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25), and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in FAS 123R is similar to the approach described in FAS 123. However, FAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.
 
    We adopted FAS 123R on June 3, 2006 and applied the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, we (1) did not restate any prior periods and (2) are recognizing compensation expense for all share-based payment awards that were outstanding, but not yet vested, as of June 3, 2006, based upon the same estimated grant-date fair values and service periods used to prepare our FAS 123 pro forma disclosures.

At March 2, 2007, we had options or awards outstanding under certain plans as further described in our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K. As permitted by FAS 123, we had previously accounted for share-based payments to employees using APB 25’s intrinsic value method. Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation costs for any options were reflected in net earnings unless the options were modified, as all options granted under our plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. In fiscal 2005, we transitioned from the use of options to performance and service based restricted stock awards as the primary form of stock-based compensation granted to employees and members of our Board of Directors.
During the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2007, we recognized stock compensation expense of approximately $0.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in earnings from continuing operations. During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, this expense consists of approximately $0.1 million related to restricted stock awards, which would have been recognized under FAS 123R or APB 25, and approximately $0.3 million (or $0.2 million after tax and $0.01 per common share after tax) related to stock options and our employee stock purchase plan, which would not have been expensed under APB 25. During the nine months of fiscal 2007, this expense consists of approximately $1.2 million related to restricted stock awards, which would have been recognized under FAS 123R or APB 25, and approximately $0.8 million (or $0.5 million after tax and $0.03 per common share after tax) related to stock options and our employee stock purchase plan, which would not have been expensed under APB 25. The income tax benefit related to the compensation cost was approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively, and $0.7 million and $0.8 million during the nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively. The adoption of FAS 123R resulted in an increase in cash flow from operations and a decrease in cash flow from financing activities of approximately $1.0 million during the nine months of fiscal 2007.
The following table illustrates the effect on earnings from continuing operations and net earnings in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2006, if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123R to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts). For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and amortized over the option vesting period.

The total intrinsic value for options exercised during the nine months of fiscal 2007 and the nine months of fiscal 2006 was approximately $3.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively. The total fair value for options that vested during the nine months of fiscal 2007 and the nine months of fiscal 2006 was approximately $1.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value for all options outstanding and exercisable at March 2, 2007 was approximately $9.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively.
As of March 2, 2007, there was approximately $1.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation awards which have been made. That cost is expected to be recognized over fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009. Additionally, approximately $1.5 million of compensation cost related to unvested stock options will be recognized over fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009.
Grants of restricted stock and restricted share units are made to certain officers, key employees and members of our Board of Directors under our Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan. The following table summarizes information about the unvested stock as of March 2, 2007.

8.   Consolidating Financial Data of Subsidiary Guarantors: Our Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (“Subsidiary Guarantors”). All guarantees are full and unconditional. Non-guarantors consist of our subsidiaries which are organized outside of the United States and any subsidiaries which are not wholly-owned. We use the equity method with respect to investment in subsidiaries included in other non-current assets in our condensed consolidating financial statements. Set forth below are our unaudited condensed consolidating balance sheets as of March 2, 2007, June 2, 2006 and March 3, 2006, our unaudited condensed consolidating statements of earnings for the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 and our unaudited condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 (in thousands).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report and the consolidated financial statements, notes to consolidated financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
We generate revenues and cash flow through the design, sale, production, sourcing and distribution of branded and private label consumer apparel and footwear for men, women and children and the licensing of company-owned trademarks. Our markets and customers are located primarily in the United States. We source more than 95% of our products through third-party producers. We primarily distribute our products through our wholesale customers, which include chain stores, department stores, specialty stores, specialty catalogs and mass merchants. We also sell our products for some brands in our own retail stores.
We operate in an industry that is highly competitive. Our ability to continuously evaluate and respond to changing consumer demands and tastes across multiple market segments, distribution channels and geographic regions is critical to our success. Although our approach is aimed at diversifying our risks, misjudging shifts in consumer preferences could have a negative effect on future operating results. Other key aspects of competition include quality, brand image, distribution methods, price, customer service and intellectual property protection. Our size and global operating strategies help us to successfully compete by providing opportunities for operating synergies. Our success in the future will depend on our ability to design products that are acceptable to the markets we serve and to source our products on a competitive basis while still earning appropriate margins.
The most significant factors impacting our results and contributing to the decrease in diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share to $0.54 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $0.63 in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and the decrease in diluted net earnings per common share to $0.54 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $0.82 in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were:
    the Menswear Group’s 11.5% decrease in net sales and 58.5% decrease in operating income, primarily due to the decreased sales and operating margins in our tailored clothing business;
 
    the Tommy Bahama Group’s 9.8% increase in net sales and 12.6% increase in operating income, primarily due to product line expansion including Tommy Bahama Relaxtm, Tommy Bahama Golf 18tm and Tommy Bahama Swimtm, continuing strength in existing product lines and retail store expansion; and
 
    the disposition of substantially all of the assets of our Womenswear Group on June 2, 2006, resulting in all Womenswear Group operations for all periods presented being reclassified to discontinued operations.
The most significant factors impacting our results and contributing to the decrease in diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share to $1.85 in the nine months of fiscal 2007 from $1.86 in the nine months of fiscal 2006 and the decrease in diluted net earnings per common share to $1.84 in the nine months of fiscal 2007 from $2.22 in the nine months of fiscal 2006 were:
    the Menswear Group’s 4.1% decrease in net sales and 27.9% decrease in operating income, primarily due to the decreased sales and operating margins for Ben Sherman and our tailored clothing business partially offset by improved performance in our sportswear operations;
 
    the Tommy Bahama Group’s 14.0% increase in net sales and 19.9% increase in operating income, primarily due to product line expansion including Tommy Bahama Relax, Tommy Bahama Golf 18 and Tommy Bahama Swim, continuing strength in existing product lines and retail store expansion; and
 
    the disposition of substantially all of the assets of our Womenswear Group on June 2, 2006, resulting in all Womenswear Group operations for all periods presented being reclassified to discontinued operations.

SEGMENT DEFINITION
In our continuing operations, we have two operating segments for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The Menswear Group produces branded, including Ben Sherman, and private label dress shirts, sport shirts, dress slacks, casual slacks, suits, sportcoats, suit separates, walkshorts, golf apparel, outerwear, sweaters, jeans, swimwear, footwear and headwear, licenses its brands for accessories and other products and operates retail stores. The Tommy Bahama Group produces lifestyle branded casual attire, operates retail stores and restaurants, and licenses its brands for accessories, footwear, furniture and other products.
Corporate and Other is a reconciling category for reporting purposes and includes our corporate offices, substantially all financing activities, LIFO inventory accounting adjustments and other costs that are not allocated to the operating groups.
As discussed in note 3 in our consolidated financial statements included in our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K, we sold substantially all of the assets of our Womenswear Group at the end of fiscal 2006. The Womenswear Group produced private label women’s sportswear separates, coordinated sportswear, outerwear, dresses and swimwear. The operating results of the Womenswear Group have not been included in segment information as all amounts were reclassified to discontinued operations. The information below presents certain information about our segments (in thousands).

THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2007 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2006
The discussion below compares our operating results for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Each percentage change provided below reflects the change between these periods unless indicated otherwise.
Net sales decreased by $8.6 million, or 3.1%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average selling price per unit of 8.4% partially offset by an increase in unit sales of 4.6% due to the changes discussed below.
The Menswear Group reported an 11.5% decline in net sales. The decline was due to a decrease in the average selling price per unit of 13.5% partially offset by a unit sales increase of 2.4%. The decline in the average selling price per unit resulted from decreases in the average selling price per unit in men’s sportswear and the decreased ratio of Ben Sherman and men’s tailored clothing sales to total menswear sales. Ben Sherman and men’s tailored clothing generally have a higher average selling price per unit than men’s sportswear. The decline in the average selling price per unit was partially offset by increases in the average selling price per unit for Ben Sherman. The increase in unit sales resulted from an increase in unit sales in men’s sportswear partially offset by declines in unit sales in Ben Sherman and men’s tailored clothing.

The Tommy Bahama Group reported a 9.8% increase in net sales as a result of growth in wholesale and retail sales. The increase was due to an increase in unit sales of 14.4% partially offset by a decline in the average selling price per unit of 5.4%. The decline in the average selling price per unit was primarily due to product mix with a greater proportion of sales being comprised of the Tommy Bahama Relax, Tommy Bahama Golf 18 and Tommy Bahama Swim products which generally sell at lower price points. The increase in retail sales was primarily due to an increase in the number of retail stores to 66 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to 58 at the end of third quarter of fiscal 2006.
Gross profit decreased 1.5%. The decrease was due to the decrease in net sales partially offset by higher gross margins. Gross margins increased from 39.9% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 to 40.6% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the increased proportion of Tommy Bahama sales to total sales and the inclusion of restructuring and asset impairment charges in cost of goods sold in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Tommy Bahama sales generally carry a higher gross margin than sales in our other product lines.
Our gross profit may not be directly comparable to those of our competitors, as income statement classifications of certain expenses may vary by company.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, increased 1.9%. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to expenses associated with additional retail stores, new product offerings (including Tommy Bahama Relax, Tommy Bahama Golf 18 and Tommy Bahama Swim) in the Tommy Bahama Group and $1.9 million of severance costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as discussed in note 4 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report. SG&A was 32.2% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 33.9% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. This increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the decrease in sales and a higher proportion of sales of Tommy Bahama products, which generally carry a higher SG&A structure than our men’s sportswear and tailored clothing businesses.
Amortization of intangible assets decreased 11.0%. The decrease was due to certain intangible assets acquired as part of our previous acquisitions, which generally have a greater amount of amortization in the earlier periods following the acquisition than later periods. We expect that amortization expense will decrease in future years unless we acquire additional intangible assets.
Royalties and other operating income increased 10.6%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our share of equity income received from an unconsolidated entity that owns the Hathaway® trademark, which was acquired in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Operating income decreased 12.2% due to the changes discussed below.
The Menswear Group reported a 58.5% decrease in operating income. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the lower sales and operating margins in our men’s tailored clothing business. Our tailored clothing business has continued to encounter sluggish demand at retail and downward pressure on our margins. Additionally, the third quarter of fiscal 2006 included $1.6 million of restructuring, plant shut-down and asset impairment charges.
The Tommy Bahama Group reported a 12.6% increase in operating income. The increase in operating income was primarily due to increased sales volume in existing and new product lines partially offset by increased operating expenses. The increased operating expenses were primarily due to the opening of additional retail stores and additional infrastructure to support our new product lines, including Tommy Bahama Relax, Tommy Bahama Golf 18 and Tommy Bahama Swim.
The Corporate and Other operating loss increased $1.5 million, or 38.9%. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to the $1.9 million of severance costs discussed in note 4 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report partially offset by payments we received for certain corporate administrative services we provided to the purchaser of the assets of the Womenswear Group pursuant to a transition services agreement.
Interest expense, net decreased 9.9%. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the lower debt levels in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

Income taxes were at an effective tax rate of 31.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to 32.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 is lower than in other quarters during our fiscal year due to the release of certain contingency reserves during the quarter. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 is not indicative of the rate for future periods.
Discontinued operations resulted from the disposition of our Womenswear Group on June 2, 2006, leading to all Womenswear Group operations being reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. The decrease in earnings from discontinued operations was primarily due to the inclusion of the full operations of the Womenswear Group in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, but only incidental items related to the Womenswear Group in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL 2007 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL 2006
The discussion below compares our operating results for the nine months of fiscal 2007 to the nine months of fiscal 2006. Each percentage change provided below reflects the change between these periods unless indicated otherwise.
Net sales increased by $20.1 million, or 2.4%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in unit sales of 4.5% partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price per unit of 2.6% due to the changes discussed below.
The Menswear Group reported a 4.1% decrease in net sales. The decrease was due to a decline in the average selling price per unit of 5.7% partially offset by an increase in the number of units sold of 1.7%. The decline in the average selling price per unit was primarily due to a decrease in the average selling price per unit in our men’s sportswear business and the decreased ratio of Ben Sherman and men’s tailored clothing sales to total menswear sales. Ben Sherman and men’s tailored clothing generally have a higher average selling price per unit than men’s sportswear. The decline in the average selling price per unit was partially offset by increases in the average selling price per unit for our Ben Sherman and tailored clothing businesses. The increase in unit sales was a result of an increase in unit sales in the men’s sportswear business partially offset by decreases in unit sales in the Ben Sherman and men’s tailored clothing businesses.
The Tommy Bahama Group reported a 14.0% increase in net sales as a result of growth in wholesale and retail sales. The increase was due to an increase in unit sales of 18.9% partially offset by a decline in the average selling price per unit of 4.7%. The decline in the average selling price per unit was primarily due to an increase in the ratio of wholesale to retail sales, with wholesale sales having lower average selling prices, and more sales of our new product offerings including Tommy Bahama Relax, Tommy Bahama Golf 18 and Tommy Bahama Swim, which generally are sold at lower price points. Retail sales increased due to an increase in the number of retail stores to 66 at the end of the nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to 58 at the end of the nine months of fiscal 2006.
Gross profit increased 3.1%. The increase was due to higher net sales and higher gross margins. Gross margins increased from 38.8% in the nine months of fiscal 2006 to 39.0% in the nine months of fiscal 2007. This increase in gross margin was the result of increased Tommy Bahama sales as a percentage of total sales and the inclusion of restructuring and asset impairment charges in cost of goods sold in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, partially offset by lower gross margins in men’s tailored clothing.
Our gross profit may not be directly comparable to those of our competitors, as income statement classifications of certain expenses may vary by company.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, increased 4.7%. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to expenses associated with additional retail stores, new product offerings including Tommy Bahama Relax, Tommy Bahama Golf 18 and Tommy Bahama Swim in the Tommy Bahama Group and $1.9 million of severance costs discussed in note 4 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report. SG&A was 30.9% of net sales for the nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to 31.6% of net sales for the nine months of fiscal 2007. This increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to a higher proportion of sales of Tommy Bahama products, which generally carry a higher SG&A structure than our men’s sportswear and tailored clothing businesses.
Amortization of intangible assets decreased 14.6%. The decrease was due to certain intangible assets acquired as part of our previous acquisitions, which generally have a greater amount of amortization in the earlier periods following the acquisition than later periods.

Royalties and other operating income increased 2.0%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our share of equity income received from an unconsolidated entity that owns the Hathaway trademark which was partially offset by a decline in our Tommy Bahama royalty income. In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we recognized a gain of approximately $0.5 million related to the sale of substantially all of the assets of Paradise Shoe, the licensee of Tommy Bahama footwear in which we held a 50% interest.
Operating income decreased 1.8% due to the changes discussed below.
The Menswear Group reported a 27.9% decrease in operating income. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower sales and lower margins in our men’s tailored clothing and Ben Sherman businesses. Our tailored clothing business has continued to encounter sluggish demand at retail and downward pressure on our margins. These items were partially offset by increased operating income in men’s sportswear. Additionally, the third quarter of fiscal 2006 included $1.6 million of restructuring, plant shut-down and asset impairment charges.
The Tommy Bahama Group reported a 19.9% increase in operating income. The increase in operating income was primarily due to increased sales volume in existing and new product lines partially offset by increased operating expenses and reduced royalty income. The increased operating expenses were primarily due to the opening of additional retail stores and additional infrastructure to support our new product lines, including Tommy Bahama Relax, Tommy Bahama Golf 18 and Tommy Bahama Swim.
The Corporate and Other operating loss decreased $0.4 million, or 3.3%. The decrease in the operating loss was primarily due to payments we received for certain corporate administrative services we provided to the purchaser of the assets of the Womenswear Group pursuant to a transition services agreement partially offset by certain severance costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Interest expense, net decreased 6.9%. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the lower debt levels in the nine months of fiscal 2007, partially offset by higher interest rates during the nine months of fiscal 2007.
Income taxes were at an effective tax rate of 35.1% for the nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to 34.9% for the nine months of fiscal 2006. The effective tax rate for the nine months of fiscal 2007 may not be indicative of the rate in future periods.
Discontinued operations resulted from the disposition of our Womenswear Group operations on June 2, 2006, leading to all Womenswear Group operations being reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. The decrease in earnings from discontinued operations was primarily due to the inclusion of the full operations of the Womenswear Group in the nine months of fiscal 2006, but only incidental items related to the Womenswear Group in the nine months of fiscal 2007.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary source of revenue and cash flow is our operating activities in the United States and to some extent the United Kingdom. When cash inflows are less than cash outflows, we also have access to amounts under our U.S. Revolver and U.K. Revolver, each of which are described below, subject to their terms. We may seek to finance future capital investment programs through various methods, including, but not limited to, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our current or additional credit facilities and sales of equity securities.
Our liquidity requirements arise from the funding of our working capital needs, which include inventory, other operating expenses and accounts receivable, funding of capital expenditures, payment of quarterly dividends, repayment of our indebtedness, payment of interest on outstanding indebtedness and acquisitions, if any. Generally, our product purchases are accomplished through trade letters of credit which are drawn against our lines of credit at the time of shipment of the products and reduce the amounts available under our lines of credit when issued. We also purchase some of our products on terms from vendors.
Cash and cash equivalents on hand was $15.8 million at March 2, 2007 and $10.0 million at March 3, 2006, respectively.

Operating Activities
During the nine months of fiscal 2007, our continuing operations provided $20.6 million of cash compared to $22.2 million of cash during the nine months of fiscal 2006. Operating cash flows from continuing operations was primarily a result of the earnings from continuing operations for the period adjusted for non-cash activities such as depreciation, amortization and stock compensation for restricted stock awards and changes in working capital accounts. During the nine months of fiscal 2007, the net cash proceeds primarily resulted from the earnings for the period partially offset by a significant investment in inventories during the period as discussed below. During the nine months of fiscal 2006, the net cash proceeds primarily resulted from earnings for the period and a reduction in inventory partially offset by a significant reduction in current liabilities.
Our working capital ratio, which is calculated by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities, was 2.56:1 and 2.78:1 at March 2, 2007 and March 3, 2006, respectively. The change was due to the 17% reduction of current assets partially offset by the 10% decrease in current liabilities primarily related to discontinued operations, as discussed below.
Receivables, net were $141.3 million and $153.5 million at March 2, 2007 and March 3, 2006, respectively, a decrease of 8%. The decrease was primarily due to the lower sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Days’ sales outstanding for our accounts receivable, excluding retail sales, was 49 days and 53 days at March 2, 2007 and March 3, 2006, respectively.
Inventories were $160.8 million and $133.4 million at March 2, 2007 and March 3, 2006, respectively, an increase of 21%. Inventory for the Tommy Bahama Group increased to support additional retail stores and due to inventory related to our Tommy Bahama Relax, Tommy Bahama Golf 18 and Tommy Bahama Swim product lines which we began in late fiscal 2006. Inventory for our tailored clothing business increased due to lower than planned sales which resulted in higher than optimal levels in our replenishment programs seasonal inventories. We expect the inventory levels in our tailored clothing business to stabilize within the next twelve months. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of inventory in our men’s sportswear inventory. Our days’ supply of inventory on hand related to continuing operations, calculated on a trailing twelve month average using a FIFO basis, was 100 days and 98 days at March 2, 2007 and March 3, 2006, respectively.
Prepaid expenses were $19.3 million and $21.4 million at March 2, 2007 and March 3, 2006, respectively. The decrease in prepaid expenses was primarily due to a decrease in prepaid royalties due to the timing of certain royalty payments.
Current assets related to discontinued operations were $0.0 million and $88.3 million at March 2, 2007 and March 3, 2006, respectively. The decrease in current assets related to discontinued operations resulted from the disposition of the Womenswear Group on June 2, 2006.
Current liabilities, which primarily consist of payables arising out of our operating activities, were $131.5 million and $146.0 million at March 2, 2007 and March 3, 2006, respectively. Current liabilities include current liabilities related to discontinued operations of $0.0 million and $17.7 million at March 2, 2007 and March 3, 2006, respectively. The current liabilities related to discontinued operations at March 3, 2006 reflected all operations of the Womenswear Group. The increase in current liabilities related to continuing operations was primarily due to the outstanding accounts payable related to the increase in inventory at March 2, 2007 partially offset by the reduction in our short term debt levels under our U.K. Revolver and the payment of our quarterly dividend prior to the end of the third quarter in fiscal 2007 but subsequent to the end of the third quarter in fiscal 2006.
Deferred income taxes were $78.7 million and $74.6 million at March 2, 2007 and March 3, 2006, respectively. The change resulted primarily from the change in foreign currency exchange rates.
Other non-current liabilities, which primarily consist of deferred rent and deferred compensation amounts, were $36.1 million and $28.4 million at March 2, 2007 and March 3, 2006, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of additional deferred rent and deferred compensation during the twelve months subsequent to March 3, 2006.

Investing Activities
During the nine months of fiscal 2007, investing activities used $45.3 million in cash. We paid approximately $22.4 million related to acquisitions, consisting of the fiscal 2006 Tommy Bahama earn-out payment and the acquisition of an ownership interest in an unconsolidated entity that owns the Hathaway trademark in the United States and certain other countries. Additionally, we incurred $23.1 million of capital expenditures, primarily related to new Tommy Bahama retail stores.
During the nine months of fiscal 2006, investing activities used $25.8 million in cash. We paid approximately $11.5 million related to acquisitions, consisting of the fiscal 2005 Tommy Bahama earn-out payment and the acquisition of the Solitude® and Arnold Brant ® businesses. Additionally, we incurred capital expenditures of $16.6 million, primarily related to new Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman retail stores. These investments were partially offset by $2.0 million of proceeds received from our Paradise Shoe equity investment as a result of Paradise Shoe selling substantially all of its assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Non-current assets, including property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and other non-current assets, increased primarily as a result of the fiscal 2006 earn-out related to the Tommy Bahama acquisition, the acquisition of the ownership interest in an unconsolidated entity that owns the Hathaway trademark and other related trademarks in the United States and certain other countries, capital expenditures for our retail stores and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by depreciation related to our property, plant and equipment and amortization of our intangible assets.
Financing Activities
During the nine months of fiscal 2007, financing activities provided $1.3 million in cash. The cash flow used in our investing activities and to pay dividends on our common shares, partially offset by the cash flow provided by our operating activities and discontinued operations, resulted in the need to borrow additional amounts under our U.S. Revolver during the nine months of fiscal 2007. We also received $4.2 million of cash from the exercise of employee stock options. We paid an aggregate of $11.2 million during the nine months of fiscal 2007 for dividends on our common shares declared for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2007.
During the nine months of fiscal 2006, financing activities provided $16.6 million in cash, primarily from additional borrowings, net of repayments, under our U.S. Revolver to fund our investments and working capital needs during the period. We also received $5.1 million of cash from the exercise of employee stock options. These cash proceeds were partially offset by the use of cash to pay $6.9 million of dividends on our common shares declared in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and first two quarters of fiscal 2006. The dividend declared in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 was paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.
On March 2, 2007, we paid a cash dividend of $0.18 per share to shareholders of record as of February 15, 2007. That dividend is the 187th consecutive quarterly dividend we have paid since we became a public company in July 1960. Additionally, on April 2, 2007, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per share to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2007, payable on June 1, 2007. We expect to pay dividends in future quarters. However, we may decide to discontinue or modify the dividend payment at any time if we determine that other uses of our capital, including, but not limited to, payment of debt outstanding or funding of future acquisitions, may be in our best interest; if our expectations of future cash flows and future cash needs outweigh the ability to pay a dividend; or if the terms of our credit facilities or indentures limit our ability to pay dividends. We may borrow to fund dividends in the short term based on our expectations of operating cash flows in future periods. All cash flow from operations will not necessarily be paid out as dividends in all periods.
Debt, including short term debt, was $208.9 million and $311.0 million as of March 2, 2007 and March 3, 2006, respectively. The decrease resulted primarily from the proceeds from our disposition of substantially all of the assets of our Womenswear Group operations on June 2, 2006, which were used to reduce outstanding debt.
Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations
Our Womenswear Group generated cash flow of $28.3 million and used cash flow of $8.9 million during the nine months of fiscal 2007 and the nine months of fiscal 2006, respectively. The cash flows from discontinued operations for the nine months of fiscal 2006 reflect the operating results of the Womenswear Group, whereas the nine months of fiscal 2007 reflects the realization and disposition of retained assets and liabilities after the date of the transaction. Cash flows from discontinued operations during fiscal 2006 and the nine months of fiscal 2007 are not indicative of cash flows from discontinued operations anticipated in future periods. We do not anticipate significant cash flows from discontinued operations in future periods.

As of March 2, 2007, we were compliant with all financial covenants and restricted payment provisions related to our debt agreements.
Our U.S. Revolver and U.K. Revolver are used to finance trade letters of credit and standby letters of credit, as well as provide funding for other operating activities and acquisitions. As of March 2, 2007, approximately $58.3 million of trade letters of credit and other limitations on availability were outstanding against our U.S. Revolver and the U.K. Revolver. The aggregate net availability under our U.S. Revolver and U.K. Revolver agreements was approximately $235.7 million as of March 2, 2007.
Our debt to total capitalization ratio was 33%, 33% and 47% at March 2, 2007, June 2, 2006 and March 3, 2006, respectively. The change in this ratio from March 3, 2006 was primarily a result of the disposition of substantially all of the assets of our Womenswear Group on June 2, 2006, the proceeds of which were used to reduce outstanding debt.
We anticipate that we will be able to satisfy our ongoing cash requirements, which generally consist of working capital needs, capital expenditures (primarily for the opening of retail stores) and interest payments on our debt during fiscal 2007, primarily from cash on hand and cash flow from operations supplemented by borrowings under our lines of credit, as necessary. Our capital needs will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the need to finance increased inventory levels and the success of our various products.
If appropriate investment opportunities arise that exceed the availability under our existing credit facilities, we believe that we will be able to fund such acquisitions through additional or refinanced debt facilities or the issuance of additional equity. However, our ability to obtain additional borrowings or refinance our credit facilities will depend on many factors, including the prevailing market conditions, our financial condition and our ability to negotiate favorable terms and conditions. There is no assurance that financing would be available on terms that are acceptable or favorable to us, if at all. At maturity of our U.K. Revolver, U.S. Revolver and Senior Unsecured Notes, we anticipate that we will be able to refinance the facilities and debt with terms available in the market at that time.
Our contractual obligations as of March 2, 2007 have not changed significantly from the contractual obligations outstanding at June 2, 2006 other than changes in the amounts outstanding under the U.S. Revolver and U.K. Revolver, amounts outstanding pursuant to letters of credit (both as discussed above) and new leases for our recently opened retail stores, none of which occurred outside the ordinary course of business.
Our anticipated capital expenditures for fiscal 2007 are expected to approximate $30 million, including $23.1 million incurred during the nine months of fiscal 2007. These expenditures primarily consist of the continued expansion of our retail operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into agreements which meet the definition of an off balance sheet financing arrangement, other than operating leases, and have made no financial commitments to or guarantees with respect to any unconsolidated subsidiaries or special purpose entities.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, stock compensation expense, contingencies and litigation and certain other accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K for a summary of our critical accounting policies.
SEASONALITY
Although our various product lines are sold on a year-round basis, the demand for specific products or styles may be highly seasonal. For example, the demand for golf and Tommy Bahama products is higher in the spring and summer seasons. Products are sold prior to each of the retail selling seasons, including spring, summer, fall and holiday. As the timing of product shipments and other events affecting the retail business may vary, results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of results for the full year. The percentage of our net sales by quarter for fiscal 2006 was 24%, 25%, 25% and 26%, respectively, and the percentage of our operating income by quarter for fiscal 2006 was 25%, 22%, 23% and 30%, respectively, which may not be indicative of the distribution in fiscal 2007 or future years.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain interest rate, trade policy, commodity and inflation risks as discussed in Part II. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K. There have not been any significant changes in our exposure to these risks during the nine months of fiscal 2007.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
To the extent that we have assets and liabilities, as well as operations, denominated in foreign currencies that are not hedged, we are subject to foreign currency transaction gains and losses. We view our foreign investments as long-term and as a result we generally do not hedge such foreign investments. We do not hold or issue any derivative financial instruments related to foreign currency exposure for speculative purposes.
We receive United States dollars for most of our product sales. We anticipate that less than 15% of our net sales during fiscal 2007 will be denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. These sales primarily relate to Ben Sherman sales in the United Kingdom and Europe and sales of certain products in Canada. With the United States dollar trading at a weaker position than it has historically traded versus the pound sterling and the Canadian dollar, a strengthening United States dollar could result in lower levels of sales and earnings in our consolidated statements of earnings in future periods, although the sales in foreign currencies could be equal to or greater than amounts as previously reported. Based on our fiscal 2006 sales denominated in foreign currencies, if the dollar had strengthened by 5% in fiscal 2006, we would have experienced a decrease in net sales of approximately $6.5 million.
Substantially all of our inventory purchases from contract manufacturers throughout the world are denominated in United States dollars. Purchase prices for our products may be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the local currencies, such as the Chinese Yuan, of the contract manufacturers, which may have the effect of increasing our cost of goods sold in the future. Due to the number of currencies involved and the fact that not all foreign currencies react in the same manner against the United States dollar, we cannot quantify in any meaningful way the potential effect of such fluctuations on future costs. However, we do not believe that exchange rate fluctuations will have a material impact on our inventory costs in future periods.

We may from time to time purchase short-term foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As of March 2, 2007, we had entered into such contracts which have not been settled, in notional amounts totaling approximately $7.5 million, all with settlement dates before the end of our fiscal year. When such contracts are outstanding, the contracts are marked to market with the offset being recognized in our consolidated statement of earnings or other comprehensive income if the transaction does not or does, respectively, qualify as a hedge in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. During fiscal 2006 and the nine months of fiscal 2007 none of the contracts that we entered into qualified for hedge accounting. As of March 2, 2007, June 2, 2006 and March 3, 2006, we had recognized a liability of $0.4 million, no asset or liability, and an asset of $0.2 million, respectively, related to these contracts.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, is reported in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to litigation or claims. We are not currently a party to any litigation or regulatory actions that we believe could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We believe that an investor should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company. If any of the risks described in our Form 10-K, or other risks or uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could suffer.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On April 2, 2007, our Board of Directors amended the Bylaws of Oxford Industries, Inc. to (i) specify the date and process by which shareholders must give notice of a shareholder proposal or director nomination in order for such proposal or nomination to be timely and acceptable for consideration at any annual meeting of the shareholders, and (ii) provide that, except in certain specified circumstances, any nominee for director will be elected by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting of the shareholders at which a quorum is present and any continuing director not so elected will offer to tender his or her resignation (which resignation our Board of Directors will determine whether to accept or reject and make public its decision within 90 days of the certification of election results). The amendments became effective as of April 2, 2007. Prior to the amendments, the Bylaws of Oxford Industries, Inc. did not specify the date or process by which a shareholder could give notice of a shareholder proposal or director nomination and provided for the election of directors in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, except as specified in our charter with respect to filling vacancies on our Board of Directors and for rights expressly granted to certain holders of our capital stock in accordance with our charter.
Pursuant to the Bylaws of Oxford Industries, Inc., as now in effect, to be timely, a shareholder proposal (other than a director nomination) must be delivered to our Secretary within the time period specified in SEC Rule 14a-8(e)(2) (or any successor rule). Pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8(e)(2), as currently in effect, a shareholder proposal must be received by us not less than 120 calendar days before the date of our proxy statement to shareholders in connection with our annual meeting during the preceding year, provided that if the date of the annual meeting changes by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year’s meeting, then the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send proxy materials. Accordingly, in order for a shareholder proposal (other than a director nomination) to be presented at our 2007 annual meeting of shareholders, we must receive the proposal on or before May 4, 2007, provided that in the event the date of our 2007 annual meeting of shareholders is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed more than 30 days after October 10, 2007, a proposal by a shareholder (other than a director nomination) to be timely must be delivered a reasonable time before we begin to print and send proxy materials in connection with such annual meeting.

Table of Contents

In addition, a shareholder proposal (other than a director nomination) should include the following: (i) the names and business addresses of the shareholder proponent and all persons acting in concert with the proponent (including the names and addresses as set forth in our books); (ii) the class and number of shares of our capital stock beneficially owned by the proponent and the other persons identified in clause (i); (iii) a description of the proposal, containing all material information relating thereto; and (iv) other information our Board of Directors reasonably determines is necessary or appropriate to enable it and our shareholders to consider the proposal.
Pursuant to the Bylaws of Oxford Industries, Inc., as now in effect, to be timely, a director nomination by a shareholder must be delivered to our Secretary not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which we first mailed proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting, provided that in the event that the annual meeting of shareholders is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed more than 30 days after the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a director nomination submitted by a shareholder to be timely must be delivered not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90th day prior to the annual meeting and (ii) the 10th day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made. Accordingly, in order for a shareholder to nominate a director for consideration at our 2007 annual meeting of shareholders, unless our 2007 annual meeting of shareholders is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed more than 30 days after October 10, 2007, we must receive the nomination not prior to May 14, 2007 and not later than June 13, 2007.
In addition, notice of a director nomination by a shareholder should include the following: (i) the name and address of record of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination; (ii) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock held of record, owned beneficially, and represented by proxy, by the shareholder and each proposed nominee, as of the date of the notice; (iv) the name, age, business and residence addresses, and principal occupation or employment of each proposed nominee; (v) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder; (vi) such other information regarding each proposed nominee as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC; and (vii) the written consent of each proposed nominee to serve as a director if so elected.
