Note H – Fair Value Measurement

The accounting guidance under “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”) permits the Company to elect to measure non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities at fair value effective January 1, 2009. ASC 820-10 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. ASC 820-10 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. A brief description of those three levels is as follows:

 
●
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
●
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
 
●
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of June 30, 2011 are as follows:

Pursuant to the Debenture and Stock Purchase Agreement with Bakers (see Note E), the Company acquired 1,844,860 unregistered shares of Bakers common stock, which trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. These shares, which are thinly traded, were valued using the quoted price of similar registered shares of Bakers common stock adjusted for the effect of the transfer restriction, considering factors such as the nature and duration of the transfer restriction, the volatility of the stock and the risk free interest rate. The shares are included in deposits and other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the note receivable due from Bakers (see Note E), which was purchased at a substantial discount, the carrying value was determined to be the fair value. For the note receivable due from Betsey Johnson (see Note R), the carrying value was determined to be the fair value.

The Company has recorded a liability for contingent consideration as a result of the May 25, 2011 acquisition of Cejon, Inc., Cejon Accessories, Inc. and New East Designs, LLC (collectively, “Cejon”) (see Note R). Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, earn-out payments may be due annually to the sellers of Cejon based on the financial performance of Cejon for each of the twelve-month periods ending on June 30, 2012 through 2016, inclusive. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management’s projections of the financial results of Cejon during the earn-out period.

The Company has recorded a liability for contingent consideration as a result of the May 20, 2011 acquisition of The Topline Corporation (“Topline”) (see Note R). Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, an earn-out payment may be due to the seller of Topline based on the financial performance of Topline for the twelve-month period ending on June 30, 2012. The fair value of the contingent payment was estimated using the present value of management’s projections of the financial results of Topline during the earn-out period.

The Company has recorded a liability for contingent consideration as a result of the February 10, 2010 acquisition of Big Buddha, Inc. (see Note R). Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, earn-out payments may be due annually to the seller of Big Buddha based on the financial performance of Big Buddha for each of the twelve-month periods ending on March 31, 2012 and 2013. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management’s projections of the financial results of Big Buddha during the earn-out period. The contingent payment for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2011 was $3,603.

No gains or losses resulting from the fair value measurement of financial assets were included in the Company’s earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Note H – Fair Value Measurement (continued)

Accounting guidance permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The accounting guidance also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that chose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The Company has elected not to measure any eligible items at fair value.
