RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $25,488,000, or 55% higher
than the $16,484,000 recorded in the comparable period of 1996. This increase in
product sales is due to several factors: additional wholesale accounts,
increased reorders, increased retail sales due to opening of two retail stores
in fourth quarter of 1996, two retail stores in second quarter of 1997 and
revenue from the David Aaron brand (acquired April 1996). As a result of
additional distribution , management feels that "Steve Madden" as a brand name
has increased in popularity nationwide. In turn, increased revenues have enabled
the Company to expand its advertising and promotional efforts, all of which have
contributed to the continuing increase in sales.
10
Cost of revenues decreased 3% from 66% in 1996 to 63% in 1997, due to the
increase in sales which allowed the Company to purchase larger volume, which
resulted in a lower cost per pair and the purchase of a higher percentage of its
shoes from overseas suppliers at a lower cost per pair as compared to 1996.
Gross profit increased 3% from 34% in 1996 to 37% in 1997.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by 63% to
$9,058,000 in 1997 from $5,544,000 in 1996. The increase in the first and second
quarter of 1997 reflects the cost incurred in the Company's strategic
strengthening of the management team and infrastructure in 1996, thereby laying
the foundation for future growth. The increase in SG&A is due primarily to a 61%
increase in payroll, bonuses and related expenses from $1,935,000 in 1996 to
$3,124,000 in 1997. Additionally, the Company focused its efforts on selling,
advertising, marketing and designing thus increasing those expenses by 124% from
$1,381,000 in 1996 to $3,093,000 in 1997. Also, the increase in the number of
retail outlets and expanded office facilities resulted in an increase in
occupancy, telephone, utilities, computer and depreciation expenses by 106% from
$556,000 in 1996 to 1,146,000 in 1997.
Income from operations for 1997 was $1,268,000 which represents an increase of
$805,000 or 174% over the income from operations of $463,000 in 1996. The net
income for 1997 was $758,000 as compared to net income of $376,000 for the 1996.
Steve Madden wholesale division revenues, accounted for $17,588,00 or 69% and
$14,386,000 or 87% of total revenues in 1997 and 1996 respectively. Wholesale
Division cost of revenues as a percentage of sales has decreased by 3% from 67%
in 1996 to 64% in 1997. Operating expenses increased by 37%, from $4,285,000 in
1996 to $5,856,000 in 1997. This increase is due to an increase in payroll and
payroll related expenses due to the hiring of additional management personnel
and an increase in occupancy expenses due to additional warehouse space needed
for expanding inventory and expense to operate the New York City showroom.
Operating expenses have increased due to the development of a new line of
sneakers and the hiring of additional personnel to facilitate future growth of
footwear classifications/extensions. Wholesale income from operations was
$560,000 in 1997 compared to $446,000 in 1996.
Revenues from the Retail Division accounted for $3,645,000 or 14% and $1,443,000
or 9% of total revenues in 1997 and 1996, respectively. The comparable stores
sales for the first six months increased 22% over the same period of 1996. The
increase in Retail Division revenues is primarily due to the Company's opening
of retail stores in Roosevelt Field in Garden City, NY and Garden State Plaza in
Paramus, New Jersey, in the fourth quarter of 1996 and Queens Center Mall in
Elmhurst NY and Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta GA, in the second quarter of 1997
which generated aggregate revenues of $1,883,000. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the Retail Division increased to $1,629,000 or 45%
of sales in 1997 from $554,000 or 38% of sales in 1996. This increase is due to
increases in payroll and related expenses, occupancy, printing, computer and
depreciation expenses as a result of opening four additional stores.
11
Additionally, the Company hired a Director of Retail Operations, anticipating
increases in the number of retail stores. Income from operations from the retail
division was $429,000 in 1997 compared to income from operations of $125,000 in
1996.
Revenues from the Diva Acquisition Corp.(acquired April 1, 1996 which markets
the "David Aaron" brand name in footwear) wholesale division accounted for
$3,034,000 or 12%, and $655,000 or 4%, of total revenues in 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Gross profit for the six month period ended June 30,1997 was
$947,000 and loss from operations was $87,000.
Adesso-Madden , a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, generated revenue of
$1,221,000 for the first six month period ended June 30, 1997. Additionally,
Adesso-Madden generated commission income of $815,000 for the first six months
of 1997 compared to commission income of $459,000 for the first six months of
1996.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $12,270,000, or 41%
higher than the $8,676,000 recorded in the comparable period of 1996. This
increase in product sales is due to several factors: new wholesale accounts,
increased reorders, increased retail sales due to opening of two retail stores
in fourth quarter of 1996 and two retail stores in second quarter of 1997 and
revenue from the David Aaron brand (acquired April 1996). As a result of
additional distribution , management feels that "Steve Madden" as a brand name
has increased in popularity nationwide. In turn, increased revenues have enabled
the Company to expand its advertising and promotional efforts, all of which have
contributed to the continuing increase in sales.
Cost of revenues decreased 16% from 76% in 1996 to 60% in 1997, due to the
increase in sales which allowed the Company to purchase larger volumes, which
resulted in a lower cost per pair and the purchase of a higher percentage of its
shoes from overseas suppliers at a lower cost per pair as compared to 1996.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by 52% to
$4,749,000 in 1997 from $3,121,000 in 1996. The increase in the second quarter
of 1997 reflects the cost incurred in the Company's strategic strengthening of
the management team and infrastructure in 1996, thereby laying the foundation
for future growth. The increase in SG&A is due primarily to a 70% increase in
payroll, bonuses and related expenses from $992,000 in 1996 to $1,684,000 in
1997. Additionally, the Company focused its efforts on selling, advertising,
marketing and designing thus increasing those expenses by 29% from $1,128,000 in
1996 to $1,454,000 in 1997. Also, the Company expanded its retail outlets and
office facilities thereby increasing occupancy, telephone, utilities, computer,
legal, printing/supplies and depreciation expenses by 146% from $404,000 in 1996
to $993,000 in 1997.
12
Income from operations for 1997 was $604,000, which represents an increase of
$1,393,000 or 177% over the loss from operations of $789,000 in 1996. The net
income for 1997 was $357,000 as compared to net loss of $431,000 for the 1996.
Steve Madden wholesale division revenues, accounted for $8,177,000 or 67% and
$7,231,000 or 83% of total revenues in 1997 and 1996 respectively. Wholesale
Division cost of revenues as a percentage of sales decreased by 15% from 78% in
1996 to 63% in 1997. Operating expenses increased by 28%, from $2,309,000 in
1996 to $2,965,000 in 1997. This increase is due to an increase in payroll and
payroll related expenses due to the hiring of additional management personnel
and an increase in occupancy expenses due to additional warehouse space needed
for expanding inventory and expense to operate the New York City showroom.
Operating expenses have also increased due to the development of a new line of
sneakers and the hiring of additional personnel to facilitate future growth of
footwear classifications/extensions. Wholesale income from operations was
$80,000 in 1997 compared to a loss from operations of $709,000 in 1996.
Revenues from the Retail Division accounted for $2,091,000 or 17% and $790,000
or 9% of total revenues in 1997 and 1996, respectively. The comparable stores
sales for the three months increased 22% over the same period of 1996. The
increase in Retail Division revenues is primarily due to the Company's opening
of retail stores in Roosevelt Field in Garden City, NY and Garden State Plaza in
Paramus, New Jersey, in the fourth quarter of 1996 and Queens Center Mall in
Elmhurst NY and Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta GA, in the second quarter of 1997
which generated aggregate revenues of $1,128,000. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the Retail Division increased to $935,000 or 45% of
sales in 1997 from $278,000 or 35% of sales in 1996. This increase is due to
increases in payroll and related expenses, occupancy, printing, computer and
depreciation expenses as a result of opening four additional stores.
Additionally, the Company hired a Director of Retail Operations, anticipating
increases in the number of retail stores. Income from operations from the retail
division was $326,000 in 1997 compared to income from operations $51,000 in
1996.
Revenues from the Diva Acquisition Corp. wholesale division accounted for
$1,842,000 or 15%, and $655,000 or 8%, of total revenues in 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Gross profit increased 10% from $138,000 or 21% in 1996 to
$568,000 or 31% in 1997. Operating expenses increased by 72% from $333,000 in
1996 to $572,000 in 1997 due to increases in payroll and payroll related
expenses, computer, printing, and depreciation expenses. Loss from operations
from Diva was $4,000 in 1997 compared to a loss of $195,000 in 1996.
Adesso-Madden , a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, generated revenue of
$160,000 for the second quarter of 1997. Additionally, Adesso-Madden generated
commission income of $468,000 for the second quarter of 1997 compared to
commission income of $265,000 for the second quarter of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has working capital of $14,959,000 at June 30, 1997 which represents
an increase of $526,000 in working capital from June 30,1996. In the first six
months of 1997 the Company received proceeds of $381,000 from the exercise of
options.
The Company's customers consist principally of department stores and specialty
stores, including shoe boutiques. Presently, the Company sells approximately
fifty percent (50%) of its products to department stores, including Federated
Department Stores (Bloomingdales, Burdines, Macy's East, Macy's West and Rich's)
May Department Stores, Dillards, Nordstorm's, Dayton Hudson and approximately
fifty percent (50%) to specialty stores, including shoe stores such as Edison
(Wild Pair, Precis, Bakers/Leeds) and junior clothing stores such as Urban
Outfitters. Federated Department Stores presently accounts for approximately 20%
of the Company's sales.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
During the six month period ended June 30, 1997, operating activities provided
$1,081,000 of cash. The use of cash arose principally from an increase in
accounts receivable-non factored of $1,237,000, a decrease in accounts
receivable factored $426,000 and a decrease in inventories of $89,000.
Additionally, there was a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of
$151,000, an increase in income taxes of $202,000, an increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $287,000, as well as increase in other current
liabilities of $58,000 and a decrease in accrued bonuses of $267,000.
The Company has lease agreements for office, warehouse, and retail space,
expiring at various times through 2007. Future obligations under these lease
agreements total $7,786,000 with annual lease commitment of $1,208,000.
The Company has employment agreements with various officers currently providing
for aggregate annual salaries of approximately $1,400,000, subject to annual
bonuses and annual increases as may be determined by the Company's Board of
Directors. In addition, as part of the employment agreements, the Company is
committed to pay incentive bonuses based on sales, net income, or net income
before interest and taxes to three officers.
One of such officers, Steve Madden, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, has entered into an amended employment agreement which
eliminates the sales based bonus effective January, 1998. Mr. Madden's bonus, if
any, is left to the discretion of the Board of Directors. The amended employment
agreement provided a signing bonus of $200,000.
The amended employment agreement provides for a term of ten years, as opposed to
the previous six year term which would have expired in 1999, and commences on
January 1, 1998. In addition, Mr. Madden's base salary has been increased from
$250,000 per year
14
to $275,000 per year for the first two years, increasing to $300,000 in 2000,
and then increasing by 10% each year thereafter.
The Company continues to increase its supply of products from foreign
manufacturers, the majority of which are located in Brazil and Mexico. Although
the Company has not entered into long-term manufacturing contracts with any of
these foreign companies, the Company believes that a sufficient number of
alternative sources exist outside of the United States for the manufacture of
its products if current suppliers need to be replaced. In addition, because the
Company deals with U.S. currency for all transactions and intends to continue to
do so, the Company believes there should be no foreign exchange considerations.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
During the six month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company used cash of
$1,070,000 to acquire computer equipment and make leasehold improvements on new
office, retail stores and warehouse space.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
During the six month period ending June 30, 1997, the Company received $381,000
from the exercise of options. In March 1997, the Company issued 85,979 shares of
common stock in payment of the note payable of $645,000 issued in connection
with the acquisition of Diva.
LICENSE AGREEMENTS
During the second quarter of 1997, the Company entered into three license
agreements for hosiery, jewelry and ready-to-wear, bringing the total number of
license agreements to five, including two license agreements entered into during
the first quarter of 1997 for handbags and sunglasses. Although such agreements
did not generate substantial revenue in the first six months ended June 30,
1997, the Company expects to receive royalties as early as the forth quarter of
1997.
INFLATION
The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material adverse effect on
sales or income during the past several years. Increases in supplies or other
operating costs could adversely affect the Company's operations; however, the
Company believes it could increase prices to offset increases in costs of goods
sold or other operating costs.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 2, 1993, Jordan Belfort, Daniel Porush and Kenneth Greene, who
were principal stockholders of Stratton Oakmont, entered into a Stock Purchase
Agreement with BOCAP Corp. ("BOCAP"), a Florida corporation (which previously
conducted no business operations and which Mr. Madden used for his personal
investment purposes), pursuant to which BOCAP purchased an aggregate of
1,284,816 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock from Messrs. Belfort, Porush and
Greene. As consideration for such Shares, BOCAP delivered to each of Messrs.
Belfort, Porush and Greene a promissory note (each a "Note") in the principal
amount of $3,237,737, $1,387,601 and $513,926, respectively, bearing an interest
rate of four percent per annum and due and payable on December 2, 1995.
The Company has been advised by BOCAP that Jordan Belfort has demanded
repayment of his Note and the registration and sale by BOCAP of the Shares with
the proceeds of such sales to be applied to the payment of his Note. Belfort has
claimed that BOCAP is in default under his Note for failing to repay the
outstanding principal amount and accrued interest by December 2, 1996. Belfort
has asserted that he may cause the shares to be sold in order to satisfy the
sums due to him pursuant to the terms of a security and escrow agreement
purportedly entered into by BOCAP on or about August 2, 1995. BOCAP has advised
the Company that it disputes Belfort's claims and that the maturity date of his
Note was extended by mutual agreement until December 2, 1999. BOCAP has also
informed the Company that it disputes the enforceability of the security and
escrow agreement.
On June 3, 1997, Belfort commenced a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, Nassau County against BOCAP, the Company, Steven Madden and
Farmstead Consulting, Inc. ("Farmstead"), a New York corporation and the
purported escrow agent with respect to the Shares, relating to the alleged
default on his Note. The relief sought against the Company is an order requiring
the Company to register the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 and
requiring Farmstead to sell as many Shares as necessary to pay Belfort not less
than $4,135,395.
