NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.    BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Elizabeth Arden, Inc. (the "Company") is a manufacturer and marketer of prestige designer fragrances, skin treatment 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 subsidiaries and all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein 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 of America 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 year ended June 30, 2005 (the "Annual Report"), filed with the Commission.



The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2005 is derived from the financial statements included in the Annual Report.  The 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.

NOTE 2.    INCOME PER SHARE



Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares of 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 unvested restricted stock.

The following table represents the computation of net income per share:

NOTE 3.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a final standard, SFAS 123R, "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS 123R"), which requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards.  Under SFAS 123R, share-based payment awards result in a cost that will be measured at fair value on the grant date of the awards, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest.  Compensation cost for awards that vest would not be reversed if the awards expire without being exercised.  SFAS 123R is effective for the Company beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and applies to all outstanding and unvested share-based payment awards at the adoption date.  The Company adopted the modified prospective approach as its implementation method under this pronouncement.  The fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The fair value of the market-based restricted stock awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, and for all other restricted stock awards were based on the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant.  For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded costs related to this pronouncement, which include the effects of any grants made during the quarter, of approximately $1.4 million (approximately $1.0 million, net of taxes) or $0.04 per basic share and $0.03 per diluted share.  Included in the $1.4 million of total costs recorded for the quarter is a charge of approximately $0.1 million relating to a change in valuation method of certain restricted stock awards.



At September 30, 2005, the Company had outstanding stock awards under five share-based compensation plans, which are described in Note 9.  For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the compensation cost that has been charged against income was $2.4 million.For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the compensation cost that has been charged against income was $1.6 million.The tax benefit related to the compensation cost charged to income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $0.7 million and approximately $0.5 million, respectively.



On August 10, 2005, in recognition of individual performance for the year ended June 30, 2005, the Board of Directors (the "Board") granted stock options to 127 managerial employees for approximately 417,700 shares of Common Stock under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan ("2004 Incentive Plan").  The stock options are due to vest over three years in thirds on each succeeding year from the date of grant, assuming the person receiving the grant is employed by the Company at the time of vesting.  The exercise price of those stock options is $23.40 per share, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant.  The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted was $8.81 per share based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The options expire ten years from the date of grant.



The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2005 were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions noted in the following table.  Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Common Stock, historical volatility of the Common Stock, and other factors.  The expected term of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is derived from historical terms 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 total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, based upon the average market price during the period, was approximately $0.7 and $1.5 million, respectively.



On August 10, 2005, in recognition of individual performance for the year ended June 30, 2005, the Board granted 195,949 shares of performance-based restricted stock to 18 managerial employees, one third of which vests two years from the date of grant and the remaining two thirds vest three years from the date of grant if the Company achieves a 10% cumulative average annualized increase in earnings per share, excluding any one-time or extraordinary events (as determined by the compensation committee of the Board), over the relevant measurement periods.  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 two- and three-year vesting periods using the graded vesting method.



A summary of the status of the Company's restricted stock activity for the three months ended September 30, 2005, is presented below:

As of September 30, 2005, there were approximately $19.6 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based arrangements granted under the Company's stock plans.  Those costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately three years.



Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company accounted for its stock incentive plans under the recognition and measurement principles prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations, under which no employee compensation costs were required to be recognized for the periods presented as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.  The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock option compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2004:

NOTE 4.    RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND RECENT LEGISLATION



American Jobs Creation Act of 2004

In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "Act") was signed into law.  The Act contains a number of provisions that might affect the Company's future effective tax rate.  A significant provision of the Act allows the Company to elect to deduct from its taxable income 85% of certain eligible dividends received by the Company from non-U.S. subsidiaries before either the year ended June 30, 2005 or the year ending June 30, 2006, if those dividends are reinvested in the U.S. for eligible purposes under the Act.  Another significant provision replaces the extraterritorial income exclusion with a domestic manufacturing deduction.  In September 2005, the Company repatriated $3.2 million of undistributed international earnings from a foreign subsidiary.  In anticipation of making such repatriation, the Company had accrued a net provision of $146,000 for estimated deferred taxes during the year ended June 30, 2005.



Inventory Costs - An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4



In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs -- An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4" ("SFAS 151").  SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).  Among other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal" as stated in ARB No. 43.  Additionally, SFAS 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.  SFAS 151 was adopted by the Company in the quarter ended September 30, 2005.  The adoption of SFAS 151 did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

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



NOTE 6.    SHORT-TERM DEBT



The Company has a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, for which JPMorgan Chase Bank is the administrative agent, that provides for borrowings on a revolving basis of up to $200 million with a $25 million sublimit for letters of credit (the "Credit Facility").  On November 2, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility that (i) extends the maturity of the Credit Facility to December 2010 from June 2009, (ii) reduces the interest rates and commitment fees based on the Company's debt service coverage ratio, (iii) permits the Company to increase the size of the Credit Facility by up to $100 million without the consent of all of the banks, and (iv) permits the Company to pay cash dividends on the Common Stock, repurchase Common Stock or make other distributions to the common shareholders if the Company maintains borrowing availability after the applicable payment of at least $25 million from June 1 to November 30 and at least $35 million from December 1 to May 31.



The Credit Facility is guaranteed by all of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 75% (65% December 1 through May 31) of eligible finished goods inventory and are collateralized by a first priority lien on all of the Company's U.S. accounts receivable and inventory.  The Company's obligations under the Credit Facility rank pari passu, or equal in right of payment, with the Company's remaining 11 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2011 (the "11 3/4% Senior Notes") and 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 availability declines to less than $25 million ($35 million from December 1 through May 31).  No financial maintenance covenant was applicable for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005.  The Credit Facility restricts the Company from incurring additional non-trade indebtedness (other than refinancing and certain small amounts of indebtedness).



Borrowings under the revolving 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.  As a result of the November 2005 amendment to the Credit Facility, the interest rates charged on LIBOR loans and prime rate loans were reduced to a range of 1.00% to 1.75% from a range of 1.50% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans, and to 0% from a range of 0% to 0.50% for prime rate loans.  As of September 30, 2005, the Applicable Margin was 1.50% for LIBOR loans and 0% for prime rate loans.  The commitment fee on the unused portion of the Credit Facility is 0.25%.

As of September 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $123 million in outstanding borrowings and approximately $4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, compared with approximately $48 million in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2005.  As of September 30, 2005,



NOTE 7.    LONG-TERM DEBT



The Company's long-term debt consisted of the following:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



On November 2, 2005, the Board authorized the Company's redemption of the remaining $8.8 million aggregate principal amount of 11 3/4% Senior Notes when such notes are redeemable on February 1, 2006 at the redemption price of 105.875% of their par amount.



NOTE 8.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES



At September 30, 2005, the Company had commitments to incur promotional and advertising expenses, which are either fixed commitments or based on net sales for licensed brands, and minimum royalty guarantees in an aggregate amount of $41.5 million through 2010 compared with $33.8 million at June 30, 2005.



In February 2004, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to swap $50.0 million of the outstanding 7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes to a floating interest rate based on LIBOR.  In the short term, this will provide the Company with a lower level of interest expense related to a portion of the 7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes based on current LIBOR rates; however, over the life of the notes, interest expense may be greater than 7 3/4% based upon fluctuations in LIBOR.  The swap agreement matures in February 2014.  The Company can terminate the swap agreement at its option at any time and the counter party can call the swap agreement any time after January 2009.  The Company has designated the swap agreement as a fair value hedge.

As of September 30, 2005, the Company had notional amounts of 30.1 million Euros and 3.3 million Britishpounds under foreign currency contracts that expire between November 30, 2005 and June 29, 2007 to reduce the exposure of its foreign subsidiary revenues to fluctuations in currency rates.  The Company has designated each foreign currency option contract as a cash flow hedge.  The unrealized gain, net of taxes, at September 30, 2005 associated with these contracts of approximately $3.0 million is included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The unrealized gain, net of taxes, incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2005 was approximately $20,000.



On March 29, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its corporate headquarters and former distribution facility located on a 13-acre tract of land in Miami Lakes, Florida (the "Miami Lakes Facility").  The agreement provided for a purchase price that depended on the assets the buyer acquired as part of the Miami Lakes Facility and a 75-day inspection period during which the buyer could terminate the agreement for any reason.  By the end of the inspection period, the buyer elected to proceed with its purchase of the Miami Lakes Facility and declined its option to purchase certain equipment, furniture and related assets at the contractually stipulated prices.  As a result of this decision and the likelihood that the transaction would be consummated, the Company determined that the carrying value of the Miami Lakes Facility, and office and distribution equipment, furniture and related assets at the Miami Lakes Facility were impaired.  Based on this analysis, the Company reclassified these assets on the balance sheet at June 30, 2005 from property and equipment to assets held for sale.  The sale of the Miami Lakes Facility closed on August 1, 2005 and the Company received approximately $9.9 million in net proceeds relating to the Miami Lakes Facility and associated equipment.

In September 2005, the Company entered into an operating lease for approximately 35,000 square feet of office space in Miramar, Florida.  The term of the lease commences on December 1, 2005 and expires on May 31, 2011.  Aggregate payments under this lease are approximately $5.1 million through the term of the lease.



In August 2005, an affiliate of the Company acquired certain assets, including inventory and certain intangibles of the distributor of Elizabeth Arden brands in the People's Republic of China.  The purchase price was approximately $4.5 million, $2.6 million payable in cash, of which $0.7 million has been paid as of September 30, 2005, and $1.9 million was credited against an account receivable due to a subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price was allocated as follows:  $2.0 million for inventory, $0.2 million for fixed assets and $2.3 million for intangible assets.  The allocation of purchase price is preliminary and the Company is continuing to evaluate the final allocation of the purchase price.  The Company intends to operate the business in that territory through a local affiliate.  Net sales and operating income related to the Chinese operations were not significant to the overall consolidated results for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

In October 2005, the Company received a demand from a licensee of certain of the Company's patents alleging the Company had breached the license agreement, indicating that it would not pay any further royalties and requesting that the Company return approximately $3 million in royalty payments already made.  The Company believes that the license agreement has not been breached by the Company and that the licensee is obligated to continue to make royalty payments.  The Company is not able to estimate the outcome of this dispute or whether it will incur any loss relating to the licensee's claim.



The Company is a party to a number of other legal actions, proceedings or claims.  While any action, proceeding or claim contains an element of uncertainty; 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, financial position or results of operations.



NOTE 9.     SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY



Stock Incentive Plans and Awards



At September 30, 2005, the Company had outstanding stock awards under five stock incentive plans, two for the benefit of non-employee directors (the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan and the 2004 Non-Employee Director Plan (the "2004 Director Plan")) and three for the benefit of eligible employees and independent contractors (the 1995 Stock Option Plan, the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2004 Incentive Plan).  All five plans were adopted by the Board and approved by the Company's shareholders.  The shareholders of the Company approved the 2004 Incentive Plan on June 22, 2004, as there remained no shares of Common Stock available for grant under the 1995 Stock Option Plan and the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.  The 2004 Director Plan was also approved by the shareholders of the Company on June 22, 2004 and replaced the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan.  No further grants of stock options will occur under the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan.

The 2004 Director Plan authorizes the Company to grant non-qualified stock options for 350,000 shares of Common Stock under such plan to non-employee directors of the Company.  Each year on the date of the annual meeting of the shareholders and provided that a sufficient number of shares remain available under the 2004 Director Plan, there will automatically be granted to each eligible director who is re-elected to the Board an option to purchase 7,000 shares of Common Stock or such other amount as the Board determines based on a competitive review of comparable companies.  Unless service is terminated due to death, disability or retirement in good standing after age 70, each option granted under the 2004 Director Plan on an annual shareholder meeting date will become exercisable three years from the date of grant if such person has continued to serve as a director until that date.  No option may be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant.  The exercise price will represent the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant.  At September 30, 2005, 315,000 shares of Common Stock remained available for grant under the 2004 Director Plan.

The 2004 Incentive Plan authorizes the Company to grant stock-based incentives for 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock under such plan to eligible employees and others that provide services to the Company.  The stock options awarded under the 2004 Incentive Plan are exercisable at any time or in any installments as determined by the compensation committee of the Board at the time of grant and may be either incentive or non-qualified stock options under the Internal Revenue Code, as determined by the compensation committee.  The exercise price for stock option grants will represent the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant.  The 2004 Incentive Plan also permits stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance awards and stock units.  As of September 30, 2005, 933,081 shares of Common Stock remained available for grant under the 2004 Incentive 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% discount from the lowest of the closing price of the Common Stock at either the start of the contribution period or the end of the contribution period. The next purchase under the ESPP will be consummated on December 1, 2005.

For information on stock option and restricted stock grants during the three months ended September 30, 2005, see Note 3.  There were no stock option or restricted stock grants during the three months ended September 30, 2004.



In March 2005, the Board approved the granting of up to 423,800 shares of market-based restricted stock ("MBRS").  As a result of such approval, the Company issued 410,800 shares of MBRS to 17 managerial employees.  The MBRS will only vest if the Company's total shareholder return surpasses the total shareholder return of the Russell 2000 Index over a three, four, five or six-year period from the date of grant, in which case the MBRS will vest at that time.  On the date of issuance, these grants were recorded as unearned deferred compensation in shareholders' equity in the amount of approximately $9.6 million and were being amortized over a six-year vesting period.  Upon adoption of SFAS 123R during the three months ended September 30, 2005 the Company revalued the MBRS using a Monte Carlo simulation model using the assumptions presented below:

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                  OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Elizabeth Arden, Inc., is hereby providing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements (as defined in such Act) made in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.  Any statements that are not historical facts and that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimated," "intends," "plans" and "projects") may be forward-looking and may involve estimates and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.  Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following key factors that have a direct bearing on our results of operations: our absence of contracts with customers or suppliers and our ability to maintain and develop relationships with customers and suppliers; international and domestic economic and business changes that could impact consumer confidence or operations; the impact of competitive products andpricing; risks of international operations, including foreign currency fluctuations, economic and political consequences of terrorist attacks, political instability in certain regions of the world, and unexpected factors affecting customer purchasing patterns; our ability to successfully launch new products and implement our growth strategy; our ability to successfully and cost-effectively integrate acquired businesses or new brands; our substantial indebtedness, debt service obligations and restrictive covenants in our revolving credit facility and our indenture for our 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes; our customers' financial condition; our ability to access capital for acquisitions; changes in product mix to less profitable products; the retention and availability of key personnel; the assumptions underlying our critical accounting estimates; delays in shipments, inventory shortages and higher costs of production due to interruption of operations at key third party manufacturing or fulfillment facilities that manufacture or provide logistic services for the majority of our supply of certain products; changes in the retail, fragrance and cosmetic industries, including the consolidation of retailers and the associated closing of retail doors; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; changes in the legal, regulatory and political environment that impact, or will impact, our business, including changes to customs or trade regulations or accounting standards; and other risks and uncertainties.  We caution that the factors described herein could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.  Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.  New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors.  Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

General



This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for the year.  In the following discussions, all comparisons are with the corresponding items in the prior year period.



Our operations have historically been seasonal, with higher sales generally occurring during 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, 2005, approximately 58% of our net sales were made during those months. Due to the size and timing of certain orders from our customers, 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, net income, working capital requirements and cash flows on a quarterly basis.



We experience seasonality in our working capital, with peak inventory levels from July to October and peak receivable balances 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 and February of each year, cash is normally generated as customer payments on holiday season orders are received.Overview



For the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, net sales increased 7.2% compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 as a result of the launch of the fantasyBritney Spears fragrance in U.S. department stores, increased sales of fragrances in the U.S. mass market, includingcurious Britney Spears, the launch of the Elizabeth Arden 5th avenue after 5fragrance in certain international markets and the favorable impact of foreign currency rates, partially offset by lower sales of the Elizabeth Arden Provocative Woman fragrance as a result of the international launch of this product in the prior year.  Gross margin decreased to 39.2% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 from 42.2% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, primarily due to lower sales and increased returns provision in our Western Europe market and increased fragrance sales in the U.S. mass market.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7.7% compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, primarily due to increased marketing costs to support product launches, increased advertising and royalty costs associated with the Britney Spears fragrances, increased higher share-based award costs related to the adoption of SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) and the adverse impact of foreign currency rates, partially offset by lower advertising development expenses.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



We believe the accounting policies below represent our critical accounting policies.  See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005 for a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies.



Accounting for Acquisitions and Intangible Assets.    We have accounted for our acquisitions, including the acquisition of the Elizabeth Arden business, under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost, including transaction costs, are allocated to the underlying net assets, based on their respective estimated fair values.  The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.



The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value and expected useful lives assigned to each class of assets and liabilities acquired can significantly affect net income.  For example, different classes of assets will have useful lives that differ - the useful life of property, plant, and equipment acquired will differ substantially from the useful life of brand licenses and trademarks.  Consequently, to the extent a longer-lived asset is ascribed greater value under the purchase method than a shorter-lived asset, net income in a given period may be higher.



Determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. One of the areas that require more judgment is determining the fair values and useful lives of intangible assets. To assist in this process, we often obtain appraisals from independent valuation firms for certain intangible assets.



Our intangible assets generally consist of exclusive brand licenses and trademarks.  We do not carry any goodwill. The value of our intangible assets, including brand licenses, trademarks and intangibles, is exposed to future adverse changes if we experience declines in operating results or experience significant negative industry or economic trends. We periodically review intangible assets, at least annually or more often as circumstances dictate, for impairment and the useful life assigned using the guidance of applicable accounting literature.



We have determined that the Elizabeth Arden trademarks acquired in the acquisition of the Elizabeth Arden business have indefinite useful lives as cash flows from the use of the trademarks are expected to be generated indefinitely.  In April 2005, we completed our annual impairment testing of these assets with the assistance of a third party valuation firm. The analysis and assessments of these assets indicated that no impairment adjustment was required.



Long-Lived Assets.    We review for impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable.  Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset compared to its carrying value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Revenue Recognition.  Sales are recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility of the resulting receivable is probable.  Sales are recorded net of estimated returns and other allowances.  The provision for sales returns represents management's estimate of future returns based on historical experience and considering current external factors and market conditions.

Allowances for Sales Returns and Markdowns.    As is customary in the prestige beauty business, we grant certain of our customers, subject to our authorization and approval, the right to either return product or to receive a markdown allowance for certain promotional product.  Upon sale, we record a provision for product returns and markdowns estimated based on our historical and projected experience, economic trends and changes in customer demand.  There is considerable judgment used in evaluating the factors influencing the allowance for returns and markdowns, and additional allowances in any particular period may be needed.



Allowances for Doubtful Accounts Receivable.    We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts to cover uncollectible accounts receivable, and we evaluate our accounts receivable to determine if they will ultimately be collected.  This evaluation includes significant judgments and estimates, including an analysis of receivables aging and a customer-by-customer review for large accounts.  If, for example, the financial condition of our customers deteriorates resulting in an impairment of their ability to pay, additional allowances may be required.



Provisions for Inventory Obsolescence.    We record a provision for estimated obsolescence and shrinkage of inventory.  Our estimates consider the cost of inventory, forecasted demand, the estimated market value, the shelf life of the inventory and our historical experience.  If there are changes to these estimates, additional provisions for inventory obsolescence may be necessary.



Hedge Contracts.    Under SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, we designated each foreign currency contract entered into as of September 30, 2005, as a cash flow hedge.  Unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, associated with these contracts are included in accumulated other comprehensive income on the balance sheet.  Gains and losses will only be recognized in earnings in the period in which the contracts expire.



Stock-Based Compensation.    In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 123R, a standard on accounting for share-based payments that requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards.  Under SFAS 123R, share-based payment awards result in a cost that will be measured at fair value on the grant date of the awards, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest.  Compensation cost for awards that vest would not be reversed if the awards expire without being exercised.  SFAS 123R is effective for us beginning in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005.  We have adopted the modified prospective approach as our implementation method under this pronouncement. For the three months ended September 30, 2005 we recorded costs related to this pronouncement of approximately $1.4 million (approximately $1.0 million, net of taxes) or $0.04 per basic share and $0.03 per diluted share.  For the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company is estimating it will record costs related to this pronouncement of approximately $5.7 million ($4.0 million, net of taxes) or $0.13 per diluted share.



Prior to July 1, 2005, we accounted for our stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement principles prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations.  Under this standard, no stock-based compensation cost was reflected in net income for employee and director option grants, as such grants had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.  The pro forma effect on net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three month period ended September 30, 2004, is set forth in Note 3 to the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.



Income Taxes and Valuation Reserves.    A valuation allowance may be required to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We consider projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing a potential valuation allowance. In the event we determine that we may not be able to realize all or part of our deferred tax asset in the future, or that new estimates indicate that a previously recorded valuation allowance is no longer required, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged or credited to net income in the period of such determination.

|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2004



Net Sales.  Net sales increased approximately 7.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 over the three months ended September 30, 2004. The sales increase was driven primarily by the launch of the fantasyBritney Spears fragrance in U.S. department stores, increased sales of fragrances in the U.S. mass market, including curious Britney Spears, the launch of the Elizabeth Arden 5th avenue after 5fragrance in certain international markets and the favorable impact of foreign currency rates.  These increases were partially offset by lower sales of the Elizabeth Arden Provocative Woman fragrance as a result of the international launch of this product in the prior year.  Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, net sales increased 6.2%.



Gross Profit.  Gross profit decreased by 1% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 over the three months ended September 30, 2004.  The decrease in gross profit was due to lower fragrance sales and increased returns provision in our Western Europe market and increased fragrance sales in the U.S. mass market, partially offset by higher net sales.  Gross margin decreased to 39.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from 42.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2004.



SG&A.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 over the three months ended September 30, 2004.  The increase was principally due to higher marketing costs to support product launches, increased advertising and royalty costs associated with the Britney Spears fragrances, higher share-based award costs related to the adoption of SFAS 123R and the adverse impact of foreign currency rates partially offset by lower advertising development expenses.



Interest Expense.  Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by approximately 2.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase is a result of higher interest rates.



Provision for Income Taxes.   Provision for income taxes decreased by approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004 due to lower income from operations and a lower effective tax rate.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2005 is 30.5% as compared to 32% in the prior year period.

Net Income.  Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 decreased by approximately $3.9 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease was primarily a result of a lower gross margin and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.



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 approximately $5.9 million to $12.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $18.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004.  The decrease in EBITDA was primarily the result of a lower gross margin and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.



EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) or net income (loss) (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) as a measure of our operating performance or to net cash provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) or as a measure of our ability to meet cash needs. We believe that EBITDA is a measure commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as a measure of a company's operating performance and debt servicing ability because it assists in comparing performance on a consistent basis without regard to capital structure (particularly when acquisitions are involved), depreciation and amortization, or non-operating factors such as historical cost.  Accordingly, as a result of our capital structure, we believe EBITDA is a relevant measure.  This information has been disclosed here to permit a more complete comparative analysis of our operating performance relative to other companies and of our debt servicing ability. EBITDA may not, however, be comparable in all instances to other similar types of measures.



In addition, EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, including the fact that:

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

Cash Flows.  Net cash used in operating activities improved by $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004.  The improvement for the three months ended September 30, 2005 is primarily due to an approximately $19 million and $17 million reduction in inventory and accounts receivable build-up, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year, partially offset by timing of payments to vendors.



For the three months ended September 30, 2005, net cash provided by investing activities was $2.7 million as compared to net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2004 of $2.6 million.  The increase in net cash provided by investing activities is a result of the sale of the Miami Lakes facility and related equipment that closed on August 1, 2005 and resulted in approximately $9.9 million of cash proceeds, partially offset by increased spending on property and equipment, primarily for new counters and information systems enhancements.



Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004.  The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was primarily due to decreased short-term borrowings used to finance working capital requirements.



Interest paid during the three months ended September 30, 2005 included an $8.6 million interest payment on the 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes that covered the period from February 16, 2005 through August 15, 2005.  Interest paid during the three months ended September 30, 2004 included a $9.6 million interest payment on the 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes that covered the period from the January 13, 2004 date of issuance through August 15, 2004.



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.  We have historically financed, and we expect to continue to finance, our 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 provides for borrowings on a revolving basis of up to $200 million with a $25 million sublimit for letters of credit.  On November 2, 2005, we entered into an amendment to the credit facility that (i) extends the maturity of the credit facility to December 2010 from June 2009, (ii) reduces the interest rates and commitment fees based on our debt service coverage ratio, (iii) permits us to increase the size of the credit facility by up to $100 million without the consent of all of the banks, and (iv) permits us to pay cash dividends on the common stock, repurchase common stock or make other distributions to the common shareholders if we maintain borrowing availability after the applicable payment of at least $25 million from June 1 to November 30 and at least $35 million from December 1 to May 31.  The credit facility is guaranteed by all of our U.S. subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 75% (65% December 1 through May 31) of eligible finished goods inventory and are collateralized by a first priority lien on all of the our U.S. accounts receivable and inventory.  Our obligations under the credit facility rank pari passu, or equal in right of payment, with our remaining 11 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2011 and 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 availability declines to less than $25 million ($35 million from December 1 through May 31).  No financial maintenance covenant was applicable for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005.  The credit facility restricts us from incurring additional non-trade indebtedness (other than refinancing and certain small amounts of indebtedness).

---



Borrowings under the revolving 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. As a result of the November 2005 amendment to the credit facility, the interest rates charged on LIBOR loans and prime rate loans were reduced to a range of 1.00% to 1.75% from a range of 1.50% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans, and to 0% from a range of 0% to 0.50% for prime rate loans.  As of September 30, 2005, the Applicable Margin was 1.50% for LIBOR loans and 0% for prime rate loans.  The commitment fee on the unused portion of the Credit Facility is 0.25%.



Based upon our internal projections, we believe that the credit facility, as currently amended and restated, provides sufficient flexibility so that we will remain in compliance with its terms.  If our actual results deviate significantly from our projections, we may not remain in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio and would not be allowed to borrow under the credit facility.  In addition, a default under our credit facility that causes acceleration of the debt under this facility could trigger a default on our senior 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.  As of September 30, 2005, we had $123 million in outstanding borrowings and approximately $4 million in letters of credits under our credit facility and approximately $212million of eligible receivables and inventories available as collateral under the credit facility.  Therefore, we had the full $200 million of borrowing capacity available under the credit facility with a remaining borrowing availability of approximately $73 million.



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 or new product launches or distribution arrangements.



Repurchase of Common Stock.On November 2, 2005, our board of directors authorized us to implement a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $40 million of our common stock through March 31, 2007.



Contractual Obligations.At September 30, 2005, we had commitments to incur promotional and advertising expenses, which are either fixed commitments or based on net sales for licensed brands, and minimum royalty guarantees in an aggregate amount of $41.5 million through 2010 compared with $33.8 million through 2010 at June 30, 2005.



In September 2005, the Company entered into a lease for approximately 35,000 square feet of office space in Miramar, Florida.  The lease expires on May 31, 2011.  Aggregate payments under this lease are approximately $5.1 million through the term of the lease.



Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recent Legislation

American Jobs Creation Act of 2004



In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "Act") was signed into law.  The Act contains a number of provisions that might affect the Company's future effective tax rate.  A significant provision of the Act allows the Company to elect to deduct from its taxable income 85% of certain eligible dividends received by the Company from non-U.S. subsidiaries before either the year ended June 30, 2005 or the year ending June 30, 2006, if those dividends are reinvested in the U.S. for eligible purposes under the Act.  Another significant provision replaces the extraterritorial income exclusion with a domestic manufacturing deduction.  In September 2005, the Company repatriated $3.2 million of undistributed international earnings from a foreign subsidiary.  In anticipation of making such repatriation, the Company had accrued a net provision of $146,000 for estimated deferred taxes during the year ended June 30, 2005.



Inventory Costs - An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4



In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs -- An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4" ("SFAS 151").  SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).  Among other



- 29 -



---





provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal" as stated in ARB No. 43.  Additionally, SFAS 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.  We adopted SFAS 151 in the quarter ended September 30, 2005.  The adoption of SFAS 151 did not have an impact on results of operations, financial position or cash flows.



ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2005, we had $123 million in borrowings outstanding under our credit facility.  Borrowings under our credit facility are seasonal, with peak borrowings 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.  In February 2004, we entered into two interest rate swap transactions to swap $50.0 million of our fixed rate 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2014 to a floating rate of interest based on LIBOR to better balance our mix of fixed and floating rate debt.  In the short term, this will provide us with a lower level of interest expense related to a portion of the 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes based on current LIBOR rates; however, over the life of the notes, interest expense may be greater than 7 3/4% based upon fluctuations in LIBOR.  In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, our results could be negatively affected.  We can terminate the swap at our option at any time and the counter party can call the swap any time after January 2009.  We designated the swap as a fair value hedge.



Foreign Currency Risk



We sell our products in approximately 90 countries around the world.  During the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, we derived approximately 35% 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.  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 and expenses are typically denominated in local currency, while costs of goods sold are 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.  Most of our skincare and cosmetic products are produced in a third-party manufacturing facility located in Roanoke, Virginia.  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 decrease our reported cash flow and operating profits.  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" in our consolidated balance sheets.



As of September 30, 2005, we had notional amounts of 30.1 million Euros and 3.3 million British pounds under foreign currency contracts that expire between November 30, 2005 and June 29, 2007 to reduce the exposure of our foreign subsidiary revenues to fluctuations in currency rates.  We have designated each foreign currency option contract as a cash flow hedge.  At September 30, 2005, the unrealized gain, net of taxes associated with these contracts of approximately $3.0 million, is included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The unrealized gain, net of taxes, incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2005 was approximately $20,000.  We intend to only enter into foreign currency contracts that qualify for hedge accounting and, therefore, the gains and losses will only be recognized in earnings in the period in which the contracts expire.  We do not utilize foreign exchange contracts for trading or speculative purposes.  There can be no assurance that our hedging operations, if any, will eliminate or substantially reduce risks associated with fluctuating exchange rates.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and 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 fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
