ELIZABETH ARDEN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.    BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Elizabeth Arden, Inc. (the "Company") is a global prestige beauty products company that sells fragrances, skin care and cosmetic products to retailers in the United States and approximately 90 countries internationally.



The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company's wholly-owned domestic and international subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statement presentation and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (the "2008 Annual Report"), filed with the Commission.



The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2008 is derived from the financial statements included in the 2008 Annual Report but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The other consolidated financial statements presented in this quarterly report are unaudited but include all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature that management considers necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods.  Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.



To conform to the presentation of the quarter ended December 31, 2008, certain reclassifications were made to the prior years' Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying footnotes.



NOTE 2.    ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

The Company's accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) shown on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, which are not adjusted for income taxes since they relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries, and the unrealized gains (losses), net of taxes, related to the Company's foreign currency contracts.

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows:

NOTE 3.   INCOME PER SHARE



Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, $.01 par value per share ("Common Stock").  The calculation of diluted income per share is similar to basic income per share except that the denominator includes potentially dilutive Common Stock such as stock options and non-vested restricted stock.

NOTE 4.    RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In fiscal 2007, the Company commenced a comprehensive review of its global business processes to re-engineer its extended supply chain, logistics and transaction processing systems.  In May 2008, the Company announced a decision to accelerate the re-engineering of its extended supply chain functions as well as the realignment of other parts of its organization to better support its new business processes.  This initiative includes a migration to a shared services model to simplify transaction processing by consolidating the Company's global transaction processing functions and the implementation of a new financial accounting and order processing system. The Company refers to this initiative as the Global Efficiency Re-engineering initiative.



As a result, the Company has implemented a plan that will result in restructuring and one-time expenses, including severance, relocation, recruiting and temporary staffing expenditures totaling approximately $12 to $14 million through June 30, 2010.  Approximately $0.3 million and $1.2 million of these expenses were incurred during the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, respectively, and approximately $1.9 million have been incurred cumulatively since the inception of this program.  Additionally, unrelated to this plan, for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred approximately $0.9 million of restructuring expenses related to the reorganization of certain of its departments.  No restructuring expenses were incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2007.  Amounts paid during the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 were $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

|(1)   Reflects $2.0 million of share-based compensation cost previously recognized which was reversed in the three months ended December 31, 2008, relating to August 2006 and August 2007 performance based restricted stock grants whose vesting is not probable.



As of December 31, 2008, there were approximately $9.5 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based arrangements granted under the Company's share-based compensation plans.  Those costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.1years.



Stock Options



On November 12, 2008, the date of the Company's most recent annual shareholders meeting, the Company granted stock options for an aggregate of 30,000 shares of Common Stock to five non-employee directors under the Company's 2004 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan and 6,000 shares of Common Stock to an employee director under the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.  All of the stock options granted on November 12, 2008, are exercisable three years from the date of grant if such persons continue to serve as a director until that date.  The exercise price of those stock options is $13.88 per share, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant.  The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the options granted was $4.99 per share based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The options expire ten years from the date of grant.



On August 18, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") granted to employees stock options for 294,600 shares of Common Stock under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.  The stock options are due to vest in equal thirds over a three-year period on dates that are two business days after the Company's financial results for each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2009, 2010 and 2011, are publicly announced, but only if the person receiving the grant is still employed by the Company at the time of vesting.  The exercise price of those stock options is $18.88 per share, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the effective date of grant.  The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted was $7.10 per share based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as discussed below.  The options expire ten years from the date of grant.



The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2008 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions noted in the table below.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Common Stock and other factors.  The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  The expected life of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is derived from historical terms and other factors.

|(1)   The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the current market value of the underlying Common Stock exceeds the exercise price of the option.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, based upon the average market price during the period, was approximately $0.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively.



Restricted Common Stock



On August 18, 2008, the Board granted to employees 117,800 shares of performance-based restricted stock and 121,133 shares of service-based restricted stock.  All or part of the performance-based restricted stock will vest on a date that is two business days after the Company's financial results for fiscal 2011 are released to the public, but only if (i) the person receiving the grant is still employed by the Company and (ii) the Company achieves a cumulative earnings per diluted share target.  The service-based restricted stock will vest in equal thirds over a three-year period on a date that is two business days after the Company's financial results for each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2009, 2010 and 2011, are publicly announced but only if the person is still employed by the Company at the time of vesting.  The fair value of the restricted stock granted was based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant.  The restricted stock is recorded as additional paid-in capital in shareholders' equity as amortization occurs over the three-year vesting period.



A summary of the Company's restricted stock activity for the six months ended December 31, 2008, is presented below:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan



The Company currently has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") under which employees in certain countries are permitted to deposit after tax funds from their wages for purposes of purchasing Common Stock at a 15.0% discount from the lower of the closing price of the Common Stock at either the start of the contribution period or the end of the contribution period.  The Company expenses the discount taken and the fair value of the "look-back" feature realized by employees upon purchases of Common Stock under the ESPP.  For the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded costs associated with the ESPP of approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded costs associated with the ESPP of approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.  The next purchase under the ESPP will be consummated on May 29, 2009.



NOTE 6.    NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS



Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles



In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("SFAS 162").  SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  SFAS 162 was effective for the Company on November 17, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS 162 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 161"). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.  SFAS 161 will be effective for the Company in its fiscal quarter beginning January 1, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Business Combinations



In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations ("SFAS 141R").  SFAS 141R significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, pre-acquisition contingencies, transaction costs, restructuring costs and income taxes.  SFAS 141R will be effective for the Company on July 1, 2009.  The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS 141R on its consolidated financial statements.



Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2 which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for those non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  With respect to financial assets and liabilities,

SFAS 157 became effective for the Company on July 1, 2008.  For non-financial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 will be effective for the Company on July 1, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS 157 with respect to financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.  The Company is evaluating the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements of the application of SFAS 157 with respect to non-financial assets and liabilities.  See Note 12.



Useful Life of Intangible Assets



In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets ("FSP 142-3").  FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  FSP 142-3 is effective on a prospective basis to all intangible assets acquired and for disclosures on all intangible assets recognized on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008.  Early adoption is prohibited.  The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, of FSP 142-3 on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8.    SHORT-TERM DEBT



The Company has a revolving bank credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks, for which JPMorgan Chase Bank is the administrative agent, which generally provides for borrowings on a revolving basis. In order to accommodate increased working capital requirements associated with the growth of the Company's business, on July 21, 2008, the Credit Facility was amended to increase its size from $250 million to $325 million, with a $25 million sub-limit for letters of credit.  Under the terms of the Credit Facility, as amended by the July 2008 amendment, the Company may, at any time, increase the size of the Credit Facility up to $375 million without entering into a formal amendment requiring the consent of all of the banks, subject to the Company's satisfaction of certain conditions.  The Credit Facility expires in December 2012.



The Credit Facility is guaranteed by all of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries and is collateralized by a first priority lien on all of the Company's U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico accounts receivable and U.S. inventory.  Borrowings under the Credit Facility are limited to 85.0% of eligible accounts receivable and 85.0% of the appraised net liquidation value of the Company's inventory, as determined pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility; provided, however, that pursuant to the terms of the July 2008 amendment, from August 15 to October 31 of each year the borrowing base is temporarily increased by $25 million.  The Company's obligations under the Credit Facility rank senior to the Company's 7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the "7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes").

The Credit Facility has only one financial maintenance covenant, which is a debt service coverage ratio that must be maintained at not less than 1.1 to 1 if average borrowing base capacity declines to less than $25 million ($35 million from December 1 through May 31).  No financial maintenance covenant was applicable for the six months ended

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



December 31, 2008.  Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company may pay dividends or repurchase Common Stock if the Company maintains borrowing base capacity of at least $25 million from June 1 to November 30, and at least $35 million from December 1 to May 31, after making the applicable payment.  The Credit Facility restricts the Company from incurring additional non-trade indebtedness (other than refinancings and certain small amounts of indebtedness).



Borrowings under the credit portion of the Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate based on the "Applicable Margin," which is determined by reference to a specific financial ratio.  At the Company's option, the Applicable Margin may be applied to either the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or the prime rate.  The reference ratio for determining the Applicable Margin is a debt service coverage ratio.  The Applicable Margin charged on LIBOR loans ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% and is 0% for prime rate loans, except that the Applicable Margin on the first $25.0 million of borrowings from August 15 to October 15 of each year, while the temporary increase in the Company's borrowing base is in effect, is 1.00% higher.  At December 31, 2008, the Applicable Margin was 1.25% for LIBOR loans and 0% for prime rate loans.  The commitment fee on the unused portion of the Credit Facility is 0.25%. For the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average annual interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility was 4.0% and 6.8%, respectively.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had $145.7 million in outstanding borrowings and approximately $4.3 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, compared with $119 million in outstanding borrowings and approximately $5 million in letters of credit under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2008.  At December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $276.7 million of eligible accounts receivable and inventories available as collateral under the Credit Facility's borrowing base certificate in effect for that date, and the remaining borrowing availability was $126.7 million.  The borrowing availability under the Credit Facility typically declines in the Company's third fiscal quarter as the Company's accounts receivable balances are likely to decline due to cash collections.  The Company classifies the Credit Facility as short-term debt on its balance sheet because it expects to reduce outstanding borrowings over the next twelve months.



Based upon the Company's internal projections, it believes that existing cash and cash equivalents, internally generated funds and borrowings under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to cover debt service, working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next twelve months, other than additional working capital requirements that may result from further expansion of the Company's operations through acquisitions of additional brands, new product launches or distribution arrangements.  A further deterioration in the economic and retail environment, however, could cause the Company to fail to satisfy the financial maintenance covenant under the Credit Facility that applies only in the event that the Company does not have the requisite average borrowing base capacity as set forth under the Credit Facility.  In such an event, the Company would not be allowed to borrow under the Credit Facility.  In addition, a default under the Credit Facility that causes acceleration of the debt under this facility could trigger a default under its outstanding 7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes.  In the event the Company is not able to borrow under the Credit Facility, the Company would be required to develop an alternative source of liquidity.  There is no assurance that the Company could obtain replacement financing or what the terms of such financing, if available, would be.

ELIZABETH ARDEN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



At December 31, 2008, the Company estimates that the $225.0 million of outstanding 7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes had a fair value of approximately $157.5 million.  The Company believes that this decrease in fair value from the carrying amounts is primarily due to the current state of the credit markets for similar debt instruments.  The Company determined the estimated fair value amounts at December 31, 2008 by using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies.  However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value, primarily due to the illiquid nature of the capital markets in which the 7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes are traded.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Company or the debt holders could realize in a current market exchange.  The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.



NOTE 10.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES



The Company is a party to a number of legal actions, proceedings and claims.  While any action, proceeding or claim contains an element of uncertainty and it is possible that the Company's cash flows and results of operations in a particular quarter or year could be materially affected by the impact of such actions, proceedings and claims, management of the Company believes that the outcome of such actions, proceedings or claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.



In connection with the June 2006 acquisition by the Company of certain assets of Riviera Concepts Inc. ("the Riviera Acquisition"), the Company recorded a contingent performance liability in the amount of $8.6 million.  This contingent performance liability does not bear interest, is recorded in "other payables, and accrued expenses" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet and is payable in annual installments beginning July 31, 2007 and ending on July 31, 2009, provided that certain net sales targets are achieved over the three-year period after the closing date on the licensed brands acquired in the Riviera Acquisition.  If the targets for the first or second annual installments are not satisfied, such installments may still be payable, based on cumulative targets, in the subsequent year or years, as the case may be.  The targets for the first and second installment due on July 31, 2007 and July 31, 2008, respectively, were not achieved.  The contingent performance liability was recorded as a result of the negative goodwill resulting from this acquisition.  If the final cumulative net sales targets are not achieved, this will result in a reversal of the $8.6 million of contingent performance liability and a corresponding reduction of the carrying value of exclusive brand licenses, trademarks and intangibles, net, on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.



In connection with the August 2006 acquisition of certain assets comprising the fragrance business of Sovereign Sales LLC ("Sovereign"), $12 million of the purchase price was in the form of contingent consideration, the majority of which was to be paid in two installments over two years from the date of closing if certain financial targets and other conditions are satisfied.  The conditions for the first and second installments were satisfied, and the Company recognized a liability of $6.3 million and $5.3 million in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008, respectively.  Payment of the first installment was made in September 2007, and the second installment was paid in July 2008.  The financial target for the final installment of $0.3 million has also been satisfied, and the final installment is scheduled to be paid in September 2009.



As of December 31, 2008, the Company had notional amounts of 32.7 million Euros and 9.6 million British pounds under open foreign currency contracts that expire between January 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 to reduce the exposure of its foreign subsidiary revenues to fluctuations in currency rates.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company had notional amounts of 3.2 million Canadian dollars under foreign currency contracts that expire between January 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 to reduce the exposure of the Company's Canadian subsidiary's cost of sales to fluctuations in currency rates.  The Company has designated each qualifying foreign currency contract as a cash flow hedge.  The gains and losses of these contracts will only be recognized in earnings in the period in which the contracts expire.  The realized gain, net of taxes, recognized during the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 from the settlement of these contracts was approximately $5.2 million and $5.5 million, respectively, and the realized loss, net of taxes, recognized during the three and six months ended December 31, 2007 from the settlement of these contracts was approximately $2.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively.  At December 31, 2008, the unrealized gain associated with these open contracts of approximately $4.1 million (net of taxes of $0.5 million) is included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



When appropriate, the Company also enters into and settles foreign currency contracts for Euros, British pounds and Canadian dollars to reduce exposure of the Company's foreign subsidiaries' net balance sheets to fluctuations in foreign currency rates.  As of December 31, 2008, there were no such foreign currency contracts outstanding. The realized gain, net of taxes, recognized from contracts in place during the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, was approximately $1.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The realized loss, net of taxes, recognized from contracts in place during the three and six months ended December 31, 2007, was approximately$0.5 million and$1.3 million, respectively.



NOTE 11.    REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK



On November 5, 2008, the Board authorized the Company to extend its existing $80 million Common Stock repurchase program through November 30, 2010.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company had repurchased 2,286,238 shares of Common Stock on the open market under the stock repurchase program, at an average price of $18.14per share, at a cost of $41.5 million, including sales commissions, leaving $38.5 million available for additional common stock repurchases under the program.  During the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, the Company repurchased 13,300shares of Common Stock on the open market under the stock repurchase program at an average price of $10.94 per share at a cost of $0.1 million, including sales commissions.  The Company accounted for the acquisition of these shares under the treasury method.







The Company adopted SFAS 157 as of July 1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the statement to its long-lived non-financial assets, including goodwill and intangibles.  SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:





|Level 1 - | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities                                      
|--------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|          |                                                                                                          
|Level 2 - | Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly
|          |                                                                                                          
|Level 3 - | Unobservable inputs based on the Company's own assumptions                                               

The Company's derivative assets and liabilities are currently comprised of foreign currency contracts.  Fair values are based on market prices obtained from independent brokers or determined using valuation models that use as their basis readily observable market data that is actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including independent pricing services, brokers and market transactions.



The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those of the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008:



|(Amounts in thousands)     |  |         |    |         |   |         |  |      
|-------------------------- |  | ------- | -- | ------- | - | ------- |  | -----
|Assets                     |  | Level 1 |    | Level 2 |   | Level 3 |  | Total
|                           |  |         |    |         |   |         |  |      
|Foreign currency contracts |  | $       | -- |         | $ | 4,631   |  | $

ELIZABETH ARDEN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 14.    Segment Data and Related Information



Reportable operating segments, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, include components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the "Chief Executive") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  As a result of the similarities in the procurement, marketing and distribution processes for all of the Company's products, much of the information provided in the consolidated financial statements is similar to, or the same as, that reviewed on a regular basis by the Chief Executive.



The Company's operations are organized into the following reportable segments:





| | North America Fragrance -The North America Fragrance segment sells the Company's portfolio of owned, licensed and distributed fragrance brands to department stores, mass retailers and distributors in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.  This segment also sells the Company's Elizabeth Arden products in prestige department stores in Canada and Puerto Rico and to other selected retailers.

| | International-The International segment sells the Company's portfolio of owned and licensed brands, including the Elizabeth Arden products, in approximately 90 countries outside of North America through perfumeries, boutiques, department stores and travel retail outlets worldwide.                                                                                                                  
|  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
| | Other-The Other reportable segment sells the Company's Elizabeth Arden products in prestige department stores in the United States and through the Red Door beauty salons, which are owned and operated by an unrelated third party.                                                                                                                                                                       



Prior to June 30, 2008, the Company reported its operations under one segment.  Effective June 30, 2008, the Company changed its segment reporting and, accordingly, amounts shown for the three and six months ended December 31, 2007, have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.



The Chief Executive evaluates segment profit based upon income from operations, which represents earnings before income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization charges.  The accounting policies for each of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Company's 2008 Annual Report under Note 1 -- "General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."  The assets and liabilities of the Company are managed centrally and are reported internally in the same manner as the consolidated financial statements; thus, no additional information regarding assets and liabilities of the Company's reportable segments is produced for the Chief Executive or included herein.



Segment profit excludes depreciation and amortization, interest expense and unallocated corporate expenses, which are shown in the table below reconciling segment profit to consolidated net income before income taxes.  Included in unallocated corporate expenses are (i) adjustments to eliminate intercompany mark-up, (ii) employee incentive costs, (iii) restructuring charges, and (iv) costs related to our Global Efficiency Re-engineering initiative.  Unallocated corporate expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, also include $4.2 million and $23.3 million, respectively, of expenses related to the recent Liz Claiborne license agreement ($3.5 million and $18.9 million, respectively, of which did not require the use of cash in the current period), due to Liz Claiborne inventory that was purchased at a higher cost prior to the June 2008 effective date of the license agreement and transition expenses.  The Company does not have intersegment sales.

|(1)   In May 2008, the Company entered into an exclusive long-term global licensing agreement for the Liz Claiborne fragrance brands, which became effective on June 9, 2008.  Amounts shown for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 reflect $4.2 million and $23.3 million of expenses, respectively, related to the Liz Claiborne license agreement ($3.5 million and $18.9 million, respectively, of which did not require the use of cash in the current period), due to Liz Claiborne inventory that was purchased at a higher cost prior to the June 2008 effective date of the license agreement and transition expenses.

|(2) | The $0.3 million increase from the year ended June 30, 2008 to December 31, 2008 is due to the satisfaction of the condition for the payment of the $0.3 million final installment of the contingent consideration relating to the acquisition of certain assets comprising the fragrance business of Sovereign.  The entire amount of the goodwill relates to the North America Fragrance segment.



The Company has determined that the Elizabeth Arden trademarks have indefinite useful lives as cash flows from the use of the trademarks are expected to be generated indefinitely.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company performed its annual impairment testing of these assets with the assistance of a third party valuation firm and also performed its annual impairment test for goodwill.  The analysis and assessments of these assets indicated that no impairment adjustment was required as the estimated fair value of these intangible assets significantly exceeded the recorded carrying value.  However, since the most recent impairment review was completed, the capital markets have experienced substantial volatility and the Company's stock price and market value have decreased significantly.  At December 31, 2008, the Company's market capitalization exceeded its net book value.  In January 2009, the Company's market capitalization decreased below its net book value.



Due to the ongoing uncertainty in capital market conditions, which may continue to negatively impact the Company's market value, the Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the expected future cash flows of its reporting units and the long-term trends of its market capitalization for the purposes of assessing the carrying value of its goodwill and indefinite-lived Elizabeth Arden trademarks, other trademarks and intangible assets. If market and economic conditions deteriorate further, this could increase the likelihood of future material non-cash impairment charges to the Company's results of operations related to the Company's goodwill, indefinite-lived Elizabeth Arden trademarks, other trademarks and intangible assets.

In addition to our owned and licensed fragrance brands, we distribute over 400 additional prestige fragrance brands, primarily in the United States, through distribution agreements and other purchasing arrangements.

Our business strategy is to increase net sales, operating margins and earnings by (a) growing the sales of our existing brand portfolio, including the Elizabeth Arden brand, through new product innovation and targeting additional demographics and geographic markets, (b) acquiring prestige beauty brands through licensing opportunities and acquisitions, (c) expanding the prestige fragrance category at mass retail customers in the U.S., and (d) implementing initiatives to improve our cost structure and working capital efficiencies.  We manage our business by evaluating net sales, EBITDA (as defined later in this discussion), EBITDA margin, segment profit and working capital utilization (including monitoring our levels of inventory, accounts receivable and operating cash flow). We encounter a variety of challenges that may affect our business and that should be considered as described in Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008, in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this quarterly report, and in the section of this quarterly report captioned "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results."

Effective June 9, 2008, we became the exclusive, global licensee for the sale, manufacture, distribution and marketing of the Liz Claiborne fragrance brands under a long-term license agreement with Liz Claiborne, Inc. and certain of its affiliates.  The Liz Claiborne fragrance portfolio consists of the Juicy Couture, Curveby Liz Claiborne, Lucky, Liz, Realities, Bora Boraand Mambo fragrances. In connection with the Liz Claiborne license agreement we also assumed a license for the Usher celebrity fragrances.  We anticipate that the Liz Claiborne license arrangement will, in the long term, allow us to (i) increase our market share in our North America Fragrance segment, particularly in department stores, (ii) gain efficiencies from a larger fragrance business, particularly by leveraging our supply chain, logistics and sales organizations, (iii) increase our gross margins by converting existing North America mass customer sales from distribution margins to owned/licensed margins, and (iv) provide additional sales volume for our International segment.  The current challenging economic and retail environment have hindered our ability to fully realize these anticipated benefits.

During the six months ended December 31, 2008, we incurred transition expenses relating to the Liz Claiborne license agreement of $4.4 million.  We do not expect to incur significant additional transition expenses related to the Liz Claiborne license agreement. In addition, our gross margins for the first half of fiscal 2009 were impacted by expenses relating to Liz Claiborne inventory that we purchased at a higher cost prior to the effective date of the license agreement. During the six months ended December 31, 2008, we recognized a charge related to this inventory of approximately $18.9 million, before taxes, which did not require the use of cash.  This charge is in line with the estimate of $19.0 million disclosed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2008.



In fiscal 2007, we commenced a comprehensive review of our global business processes to re-engineer our extended supply chain, logistics and transaction processing systems.  We call this initiative our Global Efficiency Re-engineering initiative.  In May 2008, we announced that we had decided to accelerate the re-engineering of our extended supply chain functions as well as the realignment of other parts of our organization to better support our new business processes.

In connection with our Global Efficiency Re-engineering initiative, we are also migrating to an Oracle financial accounting and order processing system to improve key transaction processes and accommodate anticipated growth of our business.  We expect this infrastructure investment to simplify our transaction processing by utilizing a common platform to centralize all of our global transaction processing functions.



As a result of the acceleration of the re-engineering of our extended supply chain functions and the implementation of the Oracle financial accounting and order processing system, we continue to implement a restructuring plan that will result in restructuring and one-time expenses, including severance, relocation, recruiting and temporary staffing expenditures.  We expect these expenses to be incurred primarily in fiscal years 2009 and 2010 and currently estimate that they will total $12.0 million to $14.0 million before taxes, of which $1.9million has been incurred to date and $0.3 million was incurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2008.



Given the difficult economic and retail environment, our priorities for the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 are to (i) reduce inventory in order to maximize cash flow, (ii) focus our advertising and promotional expenditures on the brands, markets and channels of distribution that provide the best return and eliminate marginal spending, (iii) re-assess new product innovation, and (iv) accelerate the business process re-engineering initiatives related to our Global Efficiency Re-engineering project.



Based on current facts and circumstances, we anticipate that net sales will decrease by 1.0% to 3.0% from prior year levels in the second half of our fiscal year.  This estimate assumes recent retailer replenishment behavior.



Seasonality



Our operations have historically been seasonal, with higher sales generally occurring in the first half of the fiscal year (July through December) as a result of increased demand by retailers in anticipation of, and during, the holiday season.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, approximately 61.0% of our net sales were made during the first half of the fiscal year.  Due to product innovation and new product launches, the size and timing of certain orders from our customers and additions or losses of brand distribution rights, sales, results of operations, working capital requirements and cash flows can vary between quarters of the same and different years.  As a result, we expect to experience variability in net sales, operating margin, net income, working capital requirements and cash flows on a quarterly basis.  Increased sales of skin care and cosmetic products relative to fragrances may reduce the seasonality of our business.



We experience seasonality in our working capital, with peak inventory levels normally from July to October and peak receivable balances normally from September to December.  Our working capital borrowings are also seasonal and are normally highest in the months of September, October and November.  During the months of December, January, February of each year, cash is normally generated as customer payments on holiday season orders are received.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements.  We base our estimates on historical experience and other factors that we believe are most likely to occur.  Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, which are recorded in the period in which they become known.  Our most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, provisions for inventory obsolescence, allowances for sales returns, markdowns and doubtful accounts, intangible and long-lived assets, income taxes, hedging contracts and share-based compensation.  Since June 30, 2008, other than the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.157, Fair Value Measurements, as described below, there have been no significant changes to the assumptions and estimates related to those critical accounting policies.



In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2 which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for those non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  With respect to financial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 became effective for us on July 1, 2008.  For non-financial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 will be effective for us on July 1, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS 157 with respect to financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.  We are evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of the application of SFAS 157 with respect to non-financial assets and liabilities.  See Note 12 to the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.



In accordance with Statements of Financial Standards No.142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually. Our annual impairment test is performed during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not fully be recoverable. There is a two step process for impairment testing of goodwill.  The first step of this test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill.  The second step, if necessary, measures the amount of the impairment.  Owned trademarks that have been determined to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization but are reviewed at least annually for potential impairment in accordance with SFAS 142, as mentioned above.  The fair values are estimated and compared to their carrying values.



We have determined that the Elizabeth Arden trademarks have indefinite useful lives as cash flows from the use of the trademarks are expected to be generated indefinitely.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we performed our annual impairment testing of these assets with the assistance of a third party valuation firm and also performed our annual impairment test for goodwill.  The analysis and assessments of these assets indicated that no impairment adjustment was required as the estimated fair value of these intangible assets significantly exceeded the recorded carrying value.  However, since the most recent impairment review was completed, the capital markets have experienced substantial volatility and our stock price and market value have decreased significantly.  At December 31, 2008, our market capitalization exceeded our net book value.  In January 2009, our market capitalization decreased below our net book value, but that condition has not been sustained for an extended period of time and has been significantly impacted by extreme volatility in the U.S. equity markets.



Due to the ongoing uncertainty in capital market conditions, which may continue to negatively impact our market value, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the expected future cash flows of our reporting units and the long-term trends of our market capitalization for the purposes of assessing the carrying value of our goodwill and indefinite-lived Elizabeth Arden trademarks, other trademarks and intangible assets.  If market and economic conditions deteriorate further, this could increase the likelihood of future material non-cash impairment charges to our results of operations related to our goodwill and indefinite-lived Elizabeth Arden trademarks, other trademarks and intangible assets.

|(2) | The three and six months ended December 31, 2008 include (i) $4.2 million and $23.3 million of expenses, respectively,  related to the Liz Claiborne license agreement ($3.5 million and $18.9 million, respectively, of which did not require the use of cash in the current period) due to Liz Claiborne inventory that was purchased at a higher cost prior to the June 2008 effective date of the license agreement and transition expenses, (ii) $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to implementation of our new accounting and order processing systems, and (iii) $0.3 million and $1.2 million of restructuring expenses, respectively, related to our Global Efficiency Re-engineering initiative.

For the three months ended December 31, 2008, the various expenses described above reduced EBITDA margin by 1.7%. For the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, these expenses reduced EBITDA margin by 4.0% and 0.1%, respectively.  None of these types of expenses were incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2007.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2007

Net Sales.    Net sales decreased 12.4%, or $52.4 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007.  Pricing changes had an immaterial effect on net sales.  Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, net sales decreased 8.7%, or $36.7 million.  The lower net sales were primarily due to certain North American customers reducing basic stock replenishment orders to reduce inventory levels in light of current economic conditions.  Also contributing to the net sales decline were credit constraints of various global distributors and customers, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.  The sales declines affected most distributed and owned or licensed fragrance brands and our skin care and color products.  Fragrances launched since the prior year period, including theJuicy Couture fragrances Viva La Juicy and Dirty English and the 9IX Rocawear fragrance, generated $16.1 million of net sales.  Net sales of other Liz Claiborne fragrance brands that we distributed in the prior year period and the Usher fragrance brands increased $22.5 million as a result of the June 2008 license agreement.



North America Fragrance

Net sales decreased by 9.9%, or $27.2 million.  The lower net sales were primarily due to certain North American customers reducing basic stock replenishment orders to reduce inventory levels in light of current economic conditions.  Also contributing to the net sales decline were credit constraints of various distributors and customers.  The sales declines affected most of our distributed and owned or licensed fragrance brands.  These declines were partially offset by sales of fragrances launched since the prior year period, including theJuicy Couture fragrances Viva La Juicy and Dirty English and the 9IX Rocawear fragrance, which generated $13.0 million of net sales.  Net sales of other Liz Claiborne fragrance brands that we distributed in the prior year period and the Usher fragrance brands increased $19.7 million as a result of the June 2008 license agreement.



International

Net sales decreased 13.8%, or $17.8 million.  Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, International net sales decreased 3.7%, or $4.7 million.  The sales decline was a result of the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates, a sharp reduction in passenger traffic at airports, which contributed to a $5.4 million drop in travel retail sales during the period, and credit constraints of various global distributors.

Gross Margin.    For the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, gross margins were 41.0% and 42.3%, respectively.  Gross margins decreased primarily due to lower sales volumes in our higher margin European and travel retail markets, and a higher proportionate level of lower margin promotional product sales as compared to basic stock products.  Gross margins were positively impacted by higher sales of Liz Claiborne brands which, as licensed brands, reflect higher gross margins than when they were distributed brands, net of the $3.5 million charge which did not require the use of cash, and which relates to the Liz Claiborne inventory purchased prior to the June 2008 effective date of the Liz Claiborne licensing agreement.



SG&A.Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 0.8%, or $1.0 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007.  The increase was principally due to higher royalty costs of $3.5 million, primarily related to the recently licensed Liz Claiborne fragrance brands.  We also incurred costs of $2.4 million related to restructuring expenses, transition expenses related to the Liz Claiborne license and implementation expenses for our new accounting and order processing systems.  Partially offsetting the increases were lower employee compensation costs, primarily incentive compensation costs, of approximately $5.0 million.

Segment Profit

North America Fragrance



Segment profit decreased 24.0%, or $11.7 million, primarily due to lower sales volume, partially offset by improved gross margins on sales of the recently licensed Liz Claiborne fragrance brands, which carry higher gross margins than our distributed fragrance brands. Also contributing to the decline were higher royalty costs associated with the Liz Claiborne license and higher advertising costs to support our new fragrance launches.

International

Segment profit decreased $15.0 million.  The decrease was due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, lower sales volumes primarily in our higher gross margin European and travel retail markets, and lower gross margins due to a higher proportionate level of promotional product sales as compared to basic stock products.



Interest Expense.    Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased 15.0%, or $1.2 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007.  The decrease was due to lower interest rates under our revolving bank credit facility, partially offset by higher average borrowings under such credit facility.



Provision for Income Taxes.    A provision for income taxes of $4.1 million was recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $11.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007 primarily due to lower income from operations, which was mainly driven by the lower sales volumes and lower gross margins.  The effective tax rate calculated as a percentage of income before income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was 23.1%, compared to 24.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2007.  The decrease in the estimated effective tax rate is mainly due to anticipated changes in earnings contributions from our worldwide affiliates as our worldwide affiliates generally have lower tax rates than our U.S. operations.  Based on current estimated earnings contributions from our worldwide affiliates, we recorded an adjustment in the three months ended December 31, 2008, and our expected annualized effective tax rate for the year ending June 30, 2009 is approximately 58.0%.

Net Income.    Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2008, was approximately $13.7 million, compared to $33.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007.  The decrease in net income was mainly driven by the net sales and gross margin decreases as compared to the prior year, including the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by increased sales of the Liz Claiborne and Usher brands and our newly-launched fragrances.



EBITDA.     EBITDA (net income plus the provision for income taxes (or net loss less the benefit from income taxes), plus interest expense, plus depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $28.2 million, to $31.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $59.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007.  The decrease in EBITDA was primarily the result of the net sales and gross margin decreases as compared to the prior year, including the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.



The following is a reconciliation of net income, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, to EBITDA:

Six Months Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2007

Net Sales.   Net sales decreased 5.8%, or $40.0 million, for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2007.  Pricing changes had an immaterial effect on net sales.  Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, net sales decreased 3.4%, or $23.6 million.  The lower net sales were primarily due to certain North American customers reducing basic stock replenishment orders to reduce inventory levels in light of current economic conditions.  Also contributing to the net sales decline were credit constraints of various global distributors and customers, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.  The sales declines affected most distributed and owned or licensed fragrance brands and our skin care and color products.  Fragrances launched since the prior year period, including theJuicy Couture fragrances Viva La Juicy and Dirty English and the 9IX Rocawear fragrance, generated $27.0 million of net sales.  Net sales of other Liz Claiborne fragrance brands that we distributed in the prior year period and the Usher fragrance brands increased $43.8 million as a result of the June 2008 license agreement.

Net sales of other Liz Claiborne fragrance brands that we distributed in the prior year period and the Usher fragrance brands increased $41.5 million as a result of the recent license agreement.



International

Net sales decreased by 7.7%, or $17.2 million.  Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, International net sales decreased 1.6%, or $3.5 million.  The sales decline was a result of the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates, a sharp reduction in passenger traffic at airports, which contributed to a $6.8 million drop in travel retail sales during the period, and credit constraints of various global distributors.  Partially offsetting the decrease were approximately $9.6 million of increased fragrance sales of Liz Claiborne fragrance internationally.

Gross Margin.     For the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, gross margins were 39.4% and 41.1%, respectively.  Gross margins decreased primarily due to lower sales volumes in our higher margin European and travel retail markets, and a higher proportionate level of lower margin promotional product sales as compared to basic stock products.  Gross margins were positively impacted by higher sales of Liz Claiborne brands which, as licensed brands, reflect higher gross margins than when they were distributed brands, net of the $18.9 million charge which did not require the use of cash, and which relates to the Liz Claiborne inventory purchased prior to the June 2008 effective date of the Liz Claiborne licensing agreement.



SG&A. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8.4%, or $17.9 million, for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2007.  The increase was principally due to (i) higher advertising, promotional and royalty costs of $14.6 million, most of which relate to the Liz Claiborne fragrance brands and new fragrance launches, (ii) transition expenses of $3.4 million related to the recently licensed Liz Claiborne fragrance brands, (iii) costs related to our Global Efficiency Re-engineering initiative and restructuring expenses of $2.9 million, and (iv) the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of $2.0 million.  These increases were partially offset by lower incentive employee compensation costs of approximately $3.6 million.

Segment Profit

North America Fragrance



Segment profit decreased 0.5%, or $0.3 million.  The decrease in segment profit was minimal as the lower net sales and gross margin were mostly offset by higher sales of the recently licensed Liz Claiborne fragrance brands, which carry higher gross margins as licensed brands than our distributed fragrance brands. Also contributing to the decrease was $23.1 million of (i) higher royalty costs associated with the Liz Claiborne and Usher licenses, and (ii) advertising and promotional costs to support the Liz Claiborne fragrance brands and new product launches, including Juicy Couture, Dirty English and 9IX Rocawear.

International

Segment profit decreased by $25.8 million.  The decrease was due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, lower sales volumes primarily in our higher gross margin European and travel retail markets, and lower gross margins due to a higher proportionate level of promotional product sales as compared to basic stock products.



Interest Expense.     Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased 13.7%, or $2.2 million, for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2007.  The decrease was due to lower interest rates under our revolving bank credit facility, partially offset by higher average borrowings under such credit facility.

A provision for income taxes of $0.7 million was recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $11.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007 primarily due to lower income from operations, which was mainly driven by lower sales volumes and gross margins in significant part due to the high cost inventory charges and transition expenses related to the Liz Claiborne license agreement.  The effective tax rate calculated as a percentage of income before income taxes for the six months ended December 31, 2008 was 39.0%, compared to 24.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2007.  The increase in the effective tax rate was mainly due to anticipated changes in earnings contributions from our worldwide affiliates as our worldwide affiliates generally have lower tax rates than our U.S. operations.  Based on current estimated earnings contributions from our worldwide affiliates, we recorded an adjustment in the three months ended December 31, 2008, and our expected annualized effective tax rate for the year ending June 30, 2009 is approximately 58.0%.

Net Income.   Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2008 was approximately $1.2 million compared to $34.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007.  The decrease in net income was mainly driven by overall sales and gross margin declines, $23.3 million of high cost inventory charges, which did not require the use of cash in the current period, and transition expenses related to the recent Liz Claiborne license agreement, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by increased sales of the Liz Claiborne and Usher brands and our newly launched fragrances.



EBITDA.     EBITDA (net income plus the provision for income taxes (or net loss less the benefit from income taxes), plus interest expense, plus depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $45.1 million, to $28.3 million for the six months ended December  31, 2008 compared to $73.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007.  The decrease in EBITDA was primarily the result of overall sales and gross margin declines, and $23.3 million of high cost inventory charges and transition expenses related to the Liz Claiborne license agreement and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation as discussed above.

Cash Flows.    For the six months ended December 31, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $2.1 million, as compared to $15.8 million of net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2007.  This decrease in cash used in operating activities was due to less cash used for working capital requirements, partially offset by lower cash flow generated as a result of lower net income.  The reduction in working capital requirements resulted from inventory purchases made in June 2008 in connection with the Liz Claiborne license agreement that resulted in reduced inventory purchases in the six months ended December 31, 2008, and a smaller decrease in accounts payable and other payables and accrued expenses in the aggregate for the six months ended December 31, 2008, mostly due to higher expenses to support the Liz Claiborne fragrance brands and the timing of payments to vendors.  These reductions in working capital requirements were partially offset by a lower build-up of accounts receivable associated with the lower net sales.



For the six months ended December 31, 2008, net cash used in investing activities of $18.2 million was comprised of $12.8 million of capital expenditures and the $5.3 million payment of the second installment of contingent consideration associated with our acquisition of the fragrance business of Sovereign Sales, LLC.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007, net cash used in investing activities of $18.8 million was comprised of $12.4 million of capital expenditures and the $6.4 million payment of the first installment of the Sovereign contingent consideration.  The remaining Sovereign contingent consideration of $0.3 million is expected to be paid in September 2009.



For the six months ended December 31, 2008, net cash provided by financing activities was $24.9 million, as compared to $28.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007.  During the six months ended December 31, 2008, borrowings under our credit facility increased by $26.7 million to $145.7 million at December 31, 2008.  During the six months ended December 31, 2007, borrowings under our credit facility increased by $26.8 million to $124.5 million at December 31, 2007.



Interest paid during the six months ended December 31, 2008, included $8.7 million of interest payments on the 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2014 and $5.2 million of interest paid on the borrowings under our credit facility.  Interest paid during the six months ended December 31, 2007, included $8.7 million of interest payments on the 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2014 and $6.7 million of interest paid on the borrowings under our credit facility.

Future Liquidity and Capital Needs.    Our principal future uses of funds are for working capital requirements, including brand development and marketing expenses, new product launches, additional brand acquisitions or product distribution arrangements, capital expenditures and debt service.  In addition, we may use funds to repurchase our common stock and senior subordinated notes.  We have historically financed our working capital needs primarily through internally generated funds, our credit facility and external financing.  We collect cash from our customers based on our sales to them and their respective payment terms.



We have a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, for which JPMorgan Chase Bank is the administrative agent, which generally provides for borrowings on a revolving basis. In order to accommodate the increased working capital requirements associated with the growth of our business, on July 21, 2008, the credit facility was amended to increase its size from $250 million to $325 million, with a $25 million sub-limit for letters of credit.  Under the terms of the credit facility, as amended by the July 2008 amendment, we may, at any time, increase the size of the credit facility up to $375 million without entering into a formal amendment requiring the consent of all of the banks, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions.  The credit facility expires in December 2012.



The credit facility is guaranteed by all of our U.S. subsidiaries and is collateralized by a first priority lien on all of our U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico accounts receivable and U.S. inventory. Borrowings under the credit facility are limited to 85.0% of eligible accounts receivable and 85.0% of the appraised net liquidation value of our inventory, as determined pursuant to the terms of the credit facility; provided, however, that pursuant to the terms of the July 2008 amendment, from August 15 to October 31 of each year our borrowing base is temporarily increased by $25 million.  Our obligations under the credit facility rank senior to our 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2014.

The credit facility has only one financial maintenance covenant, which is a debt service coverage ratio that must be maintained at not less than 1.1 to 1 if average borrowing base capacity declines to less than $25 million ($35 million from December 1 through May 31).  No financial maintenance covenant was applicable for the six months ended December 31, 2008.  Under the terms of the credit facility, we may pay dividends or repurchase common stock if we maintain borrowing base capacity of at least $25 million from June 1 to November 30, and at least $35 million from December 1 to May 31, after making the applicable payment. The credit facility restricts us from incurring additional non-trade indebtedness (other than refinancings and certain small amounts of indebtedness).



Borrowings under the credit portion of the credit facility bear interest at a floating rate based on the "Applicable Margin," which is determined by reference to a specific financial ratio.  At our option, the Applicable Margin may be applied to either the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the prime rate.  The reference ratio for determining the Applicable Margin is a debt service coverage ratio.  The Applicable Margin charged on LIBOR loans ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% and is 0% for prime rate loans, except that the Applicable Margin on the first $25 million of borrowings from August 15 to October 31 of each year, while the temporary increase in our borrowing base is in effect, is 1.00% higher. At December 31, 2008, the Applicable Margin was 1.25% for LIBOR loans and 0% for prime rate loans.  The commitment fee on the unused portion of the credit facility is 0.25%.  For the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average annual interest rate on borrowings under our credit facility was 4.0% and 6.8%, respectively.

At December 31, 2008, we had (i) $145.7 million in borrowings and $4.3 million in letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility, (ii) $276.7million of eligible accounts receivable and inventories available as collateral under the credit facility, and (iii) remaining borrowing availability of $126.7 million.  The borrowing availability under the credit facility typically declines in our third fiscal quarter as our accounts receivable balances are likely to decline due to cash collections.

At December 31, 2008, we had outstanding $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes.  The 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes are guaranteed by our U.S. subsidiaries.  See Note 13 to the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.  The indentures pursuant to which the 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes were issued provide that such notes will be our senior subordinated obligations.  The 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes rank junior to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under the credit facility, and pari passu in right of payment to all of our senior subordinated indebtedness.  Interest on the 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year.  The indentures generally permit us (subject to the satisfaction of a fixed charge coverage ratio and, in certain cases, also a net income

test) to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, purchase or redeem our common stock or redeem subordinated indebtedness.  The indentures generally limit our ability to create liens, merge or transfer or sell assets.  The indentures also provide that the holders of the 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes have the option to require us to repurchase their notes in the event of a change of control involving us (as defined in the indentures).



Based upon our internal projections, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, internally generated funds and borrowings under our credit facility will be sufficient to cover debt service, working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next twelve months, other than additional working capital requirements that may result from further expansion of our operations through acquisitions of additional brands, new product launches or distribution arrangements.  A further deterioration in the economic and retail environment, however, could cause us to fail to satisfy the financial maintenance covenant under our bank credit facility that applies only in the event we do not have the requisite average borrowing base capacity as set forth under the credit facility.  In such an event, we would not be allowed to borrow under the revolving credit facility.  In addition, a default under our credit facility that causes acceleration of the debt under this facility could trigger a default under our outstanding 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes.  In the event we are not able to borrow under our credit facility, we would be required to develop an alternative source of liquidity.  There is no assurance that we could obtain replacement financing or what the terms of such financing, if available, would be.



Repurchases of Common Stock.    On November 5, 2008, our board of directors authorized us to extend our existing $80 million common stock repurchase program through November 30, 2010.  As of December 31, 2008, we had repurchased 2,286,238 shares of common stock on the open market under the stock repurchase program, at an average price of $18.14 per share, at a cost of $41.5 million, including sales commissions, leaving $38.5 million available for additional common stock repurchases under the program.  During the three months ended December 31, 2008, we purchased 13,300 shares of Common Stock on the open market under the stock repurchase program at an average price of $10.94 per share at a cost of $0.1 million, including sales commissions. The acquisition of these shares by us was accounted for under the treasury method.



New Accounting Standards



Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles



In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162).  SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  SFAS 162 was effective for us on November 17, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 162 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161).  The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.  SFAS 161 will be effective for us in our fiscal quarter beginning January 1, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.



Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R).  SFAS 141R significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, pre-acquisition contingencies, transaction costs, restructuring costs and income taxes.  SFAS 141R will be effective for us on July 1, 2009.  We are evaluating the impact of SFAS 141R on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2 which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for those non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  With respect to financial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 became effective for us on July 1, 2008.  For non-financial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 will be effective for us on July 1, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS 157 with respect to financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.  We are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of the application of SFAS 157 with respect to non-financial assets and liabilities.  See Note 12 to the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Useful Life of Intangible Assets

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets ("FSP 142-3").  FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  FSP 142-3 is effective on a prospective basis to all intangible assets acquired and for disclosures on all intangible assets recognized on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008.  Early adoption is prohibited.  We are evaluating the impact, if any, of FSP 142-3 on our consolidated financial statements.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results



The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management's plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "will" and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses and/or cost savings, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. A list of factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially is set forth below, and these factors are discussed in greater detail under Item 1A -- "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, and Part II, Item 1A -- "Risk Factors" of this quarterly report:

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $145.7 million in borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility.  Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are seasonal, with peak borrowings typically in the months of September, October and November.  Borrowings under the credit facility are subject to variable rates and, accordingly, our earnings and cash flow will be affected by changes in interest rates.  Based upon our average borrowings under our revolving credit facility during the three months ended December 31, 2008, and assuming there had been a two percentage point change in the average interest rate for these borrowings, it is estimated that our interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2008 would have increased or decreased by approximately $1.2 million.  See Note 8 to the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign Currency Risk



We sell our products in approximately 90 countries around the world.  During the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, we derived approximately 37.7% and 36.3%,respectively, of our net sales from our international operations.  We conduct our international operations in a variety of different countries and derive our sales in various currencies including the Euro, British pound, Swiss franc, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar, as well as the U.S. dollar.  Most of our skin care and cosmetic products are produced in a third-party manufacturing facility located in Roanoke, Virginia.  Our operations may be subject to volatility because of currency changes, inflation changes and changes in political and economic conditions in the countries in which we operate.  With respect to international operations, our sales, cost of goods sold and expenses are typically denominated in a combination of local currency and the U.S. dollar.  Our results of operations are reported in U.S. dollars.  Fluctuations in currency rates can affect our reported sales, margins, operating costs and the anticipated settlement of our foreign denominated receivables and payables.  A weakening of the foreign currencies in which we generate sales relative to the currencies in which our costs are denominated, which is primarily the U.S. dollar, may  adversely affect our ability to meet our obligations and could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows used to fund working capital.  Our competitors may or may not be subject to the same fluctuations in currency rates, and our competitive position could be affected by these changes.  The cumulative effect of translating balance sheet accounts from the functional currency into the U.S. dollar at current exchange rates is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheets.



As of December 31, 2008, we had notional amounts of 32.7 million Euros and 9.6 million British pounds under open foreign currency contracts that expire between January 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 to reduce the exposure of our foreign subsidiary revenues to fluctuations in currency rates.  As of December 31, 2008, we had notional amounts of 3.2 million Canadian dollars under foreign currency contracts that expire between January 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 to reduce the exposure of our Canadian subsidiary's cost of sales to fluctuations in currency rates.  We have designated each qualifying foreign currency contract as a cash flow hedge.  The gains and losses of these contracts will only be recognized in earnings in the period in which the contracts expire.  The realized gain, net of taxes, recognized during the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 from the settlements of these contracts, was approximately $5.2 million and $5.5 million, respectively.  At December 31, 2008, the unrealized gain, net of taxes, associated with these open contracts of approximately $4.1 million (net of taxes of $0.5 million) is included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our consolidated balance sheet.



When appropriate, we also enter into and settle foreign currency contracts for Euros, British pounds and Canadian dollars to reduce the exposure of our foreign subsidiaries' net balance sheets to fluctuations in foreign currency rates.  As of December 31, 2008, there were no such foreign currency contracts outstanding.  The realized gain, net of taxes, recognized during the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, was approximately $1.9million and $2.7 million, respectively.



We do not utilize foreign exchange contracts for trading or speculative purposes.  There can be no assurance that our hedging operations or other exchange rate practices, if any, will eliminate or substantially reduce risks associated with fluctuating exchange rates.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, who are the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have evaluated the effectiveness and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date").  Based upon such evaluation, they have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are functioning effectively.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS



Risk factors describing the major risks to our business can be found under Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.  Except for the additional risk factors set forth below, there has been no material change in our risk factors from those previously discussed in that Annual Report on Form 10-K.



The recent turmoil in the U.S. and global economies and credit markets could negatively impact our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The recent, unprecedented turmoil in the U.S. and global economies and credit markets poses various risks to our business, including negatively impacting retailer and consumer confidence and demand for our products, limiting our and our customers' and suppliers' access to credit markets, and interfering with our ability to manage normal commercial relationships with our customers and suppliers.  A continued decrease in retailer and consumer confidence and demand for our products could significantly negatively impact our net sales and profitability.  The current credit crisis could cause some of our customers to experience cash flow problems, which could adversely affect product orders, payment patterns and default rates and increase our bad debt expense and could affect our ability to remain in compliance with the financial covenant in our revolving credit facility that applies only in the event that we do not have the requisite average borrowing base capacity as set forth in our credit facility.  The general economic slowdown may force our suppliers to reduce production, shut down their operations or file for bankruptcy protection, which could disrupt and have an adverse effect on our business.  If the current U.S. and global economic conditions persist or deteriorate further, our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be negatively impacted.



If our intangible assets, such as trademarks and goodwill, become impaired we may be required to record a significant non-cash charge to earnings which would negatively impact our results of operations.



Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we review our intangible assets, including our trademarks licenses and goodwill, for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of our intangible assets may not be fully recoverable.  The carrying value of our intangible assets may not be recoverable due to factors such as a decline in our stock price and market capitalization, reduced estimates of future cash flows, including those associated with the specific brands to which intangibles relate, or slower growth rates in our industry.  Estimates of future cash flows are based on a long-term financial outlook of our operations and the specific brands to which the intangible assets relate.  However, actual performance in the near-term or long-term could be materially different from these forecasts, which could impact future estimates and the recorded value of the intangibles.  For example, a significant, sustained decline in our stock price and market capitalization may result in impairment of certain of our intangible assets, including goodwill, and a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which an impairment is determined to exist.  Any such impairment charge could materially reduce our results of operations.
