NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OPERATIONS

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Perfumania Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of January 31, 2015, which has been derived from our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended January 31, 2015, and the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The financial information presented herein, which is not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full current fiscal year, reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015.

Due to the seasonality of the Company’s business, with the most significant activity occurring from September through December each year, the results of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 (also referred to as the "second quarter of fiscal 2015") are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The Company is an independent, national, vertically integrated wholesale distributor and specialty retailer of perfumes and fragrances that conducts business through six wholly-owned operating subsidiaries; Perfumania, Inc. (“Perfumania”), Quality King Fragrance, Inc. (“QFG”), Scents of Worth, Inc. ("SOW"), Perfumania.com, Inc. (“Perfumania.com”), Parlux Fragrances, LLC ("Parlux") and Five Star Fragrance Company, Inc. (“Five Star”). We operate in two industry segments, wholesale distribution and specialty retail sales of designer fragrances and related products.

Our wholesale businesses include QFG, Parlux and Five Star. QFG distributes designer fragrances to mass market retailers, drug and other chain stores, retail wholesale clubs, traditional wholesalers, and other distributors throughout the United States. It sells principally to retailers such as Kohl's, Marshalls, Nordstrom Rack, Ross Stores, Sears, Wal-Mart and Walgreens. The Company’s manufacturing divisions, Parlux and Five Star, own and license designer and other fragrance brands that are sold to regional and national department stores, including Belk, Bon Ton, Boscovs, Dillards, Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Nordstrom and Stage Stores, international distributors, on military bases throughout the United States, by QFG and through the Company's retail business which is discussed below. Parlux also fulfills a selection of fragrances for several online retailers, shipping directly to their customers and billing the retailers. Five Star also manufactures, on behalf of Perfumania, the Jerome Privee product line, which includes bath and body products and which is sold exclusively in Perfumania's retail stores. All manufacturing operations of Parlux and Five Star are outsourced.

Our retail business is conducted through the following subsidiaries:

•Perfumania, a specialty retailer of fragrances and related products,

•SOW, which sells fragrances in retail stores on a consignment basis, and

•Perfumania.com, an Internet retailer of fragrances and other specialty items.

As of August 1, 2015, Perfumania operated a chain of 319 retail stores specializing in the sale of fragrances and related products at discounted prices up to 75% below the manufacturers’ suggested retail prices. Perfumania.com, our Company-owned website, offers a selection of our more popular products for sale online. SOW operates the largest national designer fragrance consignment program, with contractual relationships to sell products on a consignment basis in approximately 1,900 stores, including approximately 900 Kmart locations nationwide. Its other retail customers include Burlington Coat Factory, Steinmart, Bealls and K & G.

NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with the presentation for debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the June 2015 EITF Meeting. ASU 2015-15 amends

Table of Contents

Subtopic 835-30 to include that the SEC would not object to the deferral and presentation of debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequent amortization of debt issuance costs over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, whether or not there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015, and must be applied on a retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. This guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and expands the related disclosure requirements. The new standard was originally scheduled to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. In August 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of this guidance for one year. With the deferral, the new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, with an option to adopt the standard on the originally scheduled effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill in the amount of $38.8 million at August 1, 2015 and January 31, 2015 resulted from the April 18, 2012 acquisition of Parlux.

The following table provides information related to goodwill and intangible assets (in thousands). Intangible assets are included in intangible and other assets, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of August 1, 2015 and January 31, 2015:



		August 1, 2015						January 31, 2015
	Useful Life (years)	Original Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value		Original Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value

License agreements	3-5	16,413		12,971		3,442		16,413		11,243		5,170
Tradename (non-amortizing)	N/A	8,500		—		8,500		8,500		—		8,500
		$	79,347	$	23,201	$	56,146	$	79,347	$	20,951	$	58,396

In accordance with US GAAP, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the estimated fair values to their carrying values.

Trademarks, including tradenames and owned licenses having finite lives, are amortized over their respective lives to their estimated residual values and are also reviewed for impairment in accordance with accounting standards when changes in circumstances indicate the assets’ values may be impaired. Customer relationships are amortized over the expected period of benefit and license agreements are amortized over the remaining contractual term. Impairment testing is based on a review of forecasted operating cash flows and the profitability of the related brand to determine its fair value. There were no triggering events during the thirteen or twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 that would indicate potential impairment and the requirement to review the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets.

Amortization expense associated with intangible assets subject to amortization is included in depreciation and amortization on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $1.1 million for both thirteen week periods ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, and $2.2 million for both twenty-six week periods ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014. As of August 1, 2015, estimated future amortization expense associated with intangible assets subject to amortization is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING FOR SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) provides for equity-based awards to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants. Under the 2010 Plan, the Company initially reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance. This number automatically increases on the first trading day of each fiscal year beginning with fiscal 2011, by an amount equal to 1.5% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; accordingly, 1,961,898 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance as of August 1, 2015. The Company previously had two stock option plans which expired on October 31, 2010. No further awards will be granted under these plans, although all options previously granted and outstanding will remain outstanding until they are either exercised or forfeited. As of August 1, 2015, 930,000 stock options have been granted pursuant to the 2010 Plan.

The following is a summary of the stock option activity during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015:

NOTE 5 - REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND NOTES PAYABLE TO AFFILIATES

The Company’s revolving credit facility and notes payable to affiliates consist of the following:



	August 1, 2015		January 31, 2015

	159,382		162,927
Less current portion	—		—
Total long-term debt	$	159,382	$	162,927

The Company has a revolving Senior Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks that is used for the Company’s general corporate purposes and those of its subsidiaries, including working capital and capital expenditures. The maximum borrowing amount under the Senior Credit Facility is $175 million and the termination date is April 2019. Under this facility, which does not require amortization of principal, revolving loans may be drawn, repaid and reborrowed up to the amount available under a borrowing base calculated with reference to specified percentages of the Company’s credit card and trade receivables and inventory, which may be reduced by the lender in its reasonable discretion. The Company must maintain excess availability under the facility of at least $10 million. As of August 1, 2015, the Company had $63.3 million of net availability which includes $25 million for letters of credit.

Interest under the Senior Credit Facility is at variable rates plus specified margins that are determined based upon the Company’s excess availability from time to time. The Company is also required to pay monthly commitment fees based on the unused amount of the Senior Credit Facility and a monthly fee with respect to outstanding letters of credit. As of August 1, 2015, the interest rate on LIBOR Rate borrowings was 2.2% and the interest rate on base rate borrowings was 4.3%.

All obligations of the Company related to the Senior Credit Facility are secured by first priority perfected security interests in all personal and real property owned by the Company, including without limitation 100% (or, in the case of excluded foreign subsidiaries, 66%) of the outstanding equity interests in the subsidiaries. The Company is subject to customary limitations on its ability to, among other things, pay dividends and make distributions, make investments and enter into joint ventures, and dispose of assets. The Company was in compliance with all financial and operating covenants as of August 1, 2015.

In addition, the Company has outstanding unsecured debt obligations as follows:

(i)a promissory note in the principal amount of $35 million, (the “QKD Note”) held by Quality King Distributors, Inc. ("Quality King"), which provides for payment of principal in quarterly installments between July 31, 2019 and October 31, 2022, with a final installment on October 31, 2022 of the remaining balance, and payment of interest in quarterly installments commencing on January 31, 2011 at the then current senior debt rate, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, plus 1% per annum;

(ii)promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $85.4 million held by six estate trusts established by Glenn, Stephen and Arlene Nussdorf (the “Nussdorf Trust Notes”), which provide for payment of the principal in full on July 31, 2019 and payments of interest in quarterly installments commencing on July 31, 2012 at the then current senior debt rate plus 2% per annum; and

(iii) a promissory note in the principal amount of $5 million held by Glenn and Stephen Nussdorf (the “2004 Note”), which provided for payment in January 2009 and is currently in default because of the restrictions on payment described below, resulting in an increase of 2% in the nominal interest rate, which is the prime rate plus 1%.

These notes are subordinated to the Senior Credit Facility. No principal may be paid on any of them until three months after the Senior Credit Facility terminates and is paid in full, and payment of interest is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the Company’s maintaining excess availability under the Senior Credit Facility of the greater of $17.5 million or 17.5% of the borrowing base certificate after giving effect to the payment, and a fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, of 1.1:1.0. Interest expense on these notes was approximately $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively, and $2.6 million and $3.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively, and is included in interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. No payments of principal or interest have been made on the QKD Note or the Nussdorf Trust Notes. On the 2004 Note, no payments of principal have been made and no interest payments have been made since October 2008. Accrued interest payable due at August 1, 2015 and January 31, 2015 on the Nussdorf Trust Notes, the QKD Note, and the 2004 Note was approximately $42.1 million and $39.5 million, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of August 1, 2015 and January 31, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 6 - ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company conducts business throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands and, as a result, files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal and various state jurisdictions, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examinations in these jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal, state, local or Puerto Rico income tax examinations for fiscal years prior to 2008. State and foreign income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing of the respective return. The state impact of any Federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states.

The Company continues to provide a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty as to when business conditions will improve sufficiently to enable it to utilize its deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company did not record a Federal or state tax benefit on its operating loss for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015.

During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015, there were no changes to the liability for income tax associated with uncertain tax positions. The Company accrues interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as well as any related penalties in the income tax provision in its condensed consolidated statements of operations, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. The accrual for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of August 1, 2015 and January 31, 2015 was not significant.

The Company does not anticipate any material adjustments relating to unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months; however, the ultimate outcome of tax matters is uncertain and unforeseen results can occur.

NOTE 7 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net loss per common share has been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per common share includes, in periods in which they are dilutive, the effect of those potentially dilutive securities where the average market price of the common stock exceeds the exercise prices for the respective periods.

During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 there were 7,405,635 potentially dilutive shares of common stock related to stock options and warrants which were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because the effect of including these potentially dilutive shares was antidilutive. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014, there were 7,440,734 potentially dilutive shares of common stock related to stock options and warrants which were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because the effect of including these potentially dilutive shares was antidilutive.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company applies authoritative accounting guidance regarding fair value and disclosures as it applies to financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to

Table of Contents

Level 1 inputs);

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of August 1, 2015, the Company had no material financial assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis at fair value. The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, specifically long-lived assets evaluated for impairment. No such impairments were recorded during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014.

The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt, and accrued expenses, are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The reported amounts of long-term obligations approximate fair value, given management’s evaluation of the instruments’ current rates compared to market rates of interest and other factors.

NOTE 9 - CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Management cannot presently predict the outcome of these matters, although management believes, based in part on the advice of counsel, that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 11 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in two industry segments, wholesale distribution and specialty retail sales of designer fragrance and related products. Management reviews segment information by segment and on a consolidated basis each month. Retail sales include sales through Perfumania retail stores, the SOW consignment business and the Company’s internet site, Perfumania.com. Wholesale sales include sales through QFG, Parlux and Five Star to unrelated customers. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, who is its Chief Executive Officer, assesses segment performance by reference to gross profit. Each of the segments has its own assets, liabilities, revenues and cost of goods sold. While each segment has certain unallocated operating expenses, these expenses are not reviewed by the chief operating decision maker on a segment basis, but rather on a consolidated basis. Financial information for these segments is summarized in the following table:

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

We are an independent, national, vertically integrated wholesale distributor and specialty retailer of designer perfumes and fragrances. We source the majority of these products directly from the brand owners/manufacturers. We also own and license certain designer brands that we manufacture, through subcontractors, and sell through our wholesale and retail operating subsidiaries.

Net sales during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015, our second quarter in fiscal 2015, decreased 3.4% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014, while net sales during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 decreased 3.5% compared to the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014. Our retail segment’s net sales decreased by 5.4% from the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and 5.2% from the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 because we had fewer Perfumania stores compared with last year’s second quarter and lower mall traffic at Perfumania stores. We also had fewer locations at our largest consignment customer. Our wholesale segment’s net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 increased by 0.2% from the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and decreased by 1.1% during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 compared with the same period last year. During the year, wholesale sales fluctuate due to seasonal demand, new product launches, the size and timing of certain orders from our

Table of Contents

customers, additions or losses of brand distribution rights, changes in foreign exchange rates against the U.S. dollar and the timing of industry trade shows, and accordingly sales and results of operations can vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

Gross profit during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $51.1 million, a decrease of 1.7% compared to last year’s second quarter. The decrease in gross profit is due to lower retail net sales. Gross profit during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 was $113.5 million, a decrease of 0.1% compared to the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014.

Total operating expenses were $66.1 million and $127.0 during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015, increases of 10.8% and 6.5% compared to the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014. The increases are attributable to higher advertising expense to support a new brand launch and higher spending on the ongoing implementation of new computer systems.

Interest expense was $1.7 million and $3.5 million during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015, decreases of 20.5% and 27.3% compared to the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 because of lower average outstanding balances and lower average interest rate on our revolving credit facility.

We record a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets, thus no income tax benefit was recorded during any period presented.

As a result of the above, our net loss increased by 69.9% to $16.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 from $9.9 million during last year’s second quarter, and by 63.6% to $16.8 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 from $10.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014.

Comparison of the Thirteen Weeks Ended August 1, 2015 with the Thirteen Weeks Ended August 2, 2014.

Total net sales	$	109,306	100.0%	$	113,154	100.0%	$	(3,848	)

Net sales decreased 3.4% from $113.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $109.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. The decrease in sales included a $3.9 million decrease in retail sales, offset by a $0.1 million increase in wholesale sales.

Retail sales decreased by 5.4% from $72.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $68.7 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. Perfumania's retail sales decreased by $2.4 million while SOW's consignment sales decreased by $1.5 million.

Wholesale sales increased by 0.2% from $40.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $40.7 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. QFG's sales decreased from $28.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $28.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. Parlux's sales increased from $11.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $12.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015.

Perfumania's retail sales decreased from $58.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $56.4 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. The decrease in Perfumania's sales was due primarily to fewer stores being operated and lower mall traffic. The average number of stores operated was 318 in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015 and 324 in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014. Perfumania's comparable store sales decreased by 3.7% during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015 from the same period in 2014 due to lower mall traffic. Comparable store sales measure sales from stores that have been open for one year or more. We exclude stores that are closed for renovation from comparable store sales from the month during which renovation commences until the first full month after reopening. The average retail price per unit sold during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015 increased by 3.2% from the prior year's comparable period, while the total number of units sold decreased by 6.7%.

SOW's consignment sales decreased from $13.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $12.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. The majority of the decrease in SOW's net sales is due to a decrease in sales by SOW's largest consignment account, which is currently being transitioned to be a wholesale customer of QFG. We anticipate that

Table of Contents

consignment sales from this customer will continue to decrease over the next twelve months, and we will sell merchandise to the customer through QFG.

Gross profit decreased 1.7% from $51.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $51.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015.

Perfumania's retail gross profit dollars decreased from $29.2 million during the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $28.5 million during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. For these same periods, Perfumania's retail gross margins were 49.7% and 50.5%, respectively. The increase in Perfumania's gross margins is attributable to higher selling prices and a higher proportion of owned and licensed brands sold which yield a higher margin.

SOW's gross profit dollars decreased from $6.2 million during the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $6.0 million during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. For these same periods, SOW's gross margins were 44.7% and 49.3%, respectively. The increase in gross margins is due to less discounting and a higher proportion of owned and licensed brands sold, which yield a higher margin.

QFG's gross profit dollars increased from $10.5 million during the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $10.7 million during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. Parlux's gross profit dollars decreased from $6.5 million during the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $6.1 million during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. Wholesale gross profit percentage decreased from 40.9% during the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 to 40.7% during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015.

Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include payroll and related benefits for our distribution centers, sales, store operations, field management, purchasing and other corporate office and administrative personnel; rent, common area maintenance, real estate taxes and utilities for our stores, distribution centers and corporate office; advertising, consignment fees, sales promotion, royalties, insurance, supplies, freight out, and other administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $63.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015, compared to $56.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is attributable to higher advertising expenses to support a new brand launch, higher spending on the ongoing implementation of new computer systems and approximately $0.5 million related to alternative minimum taxes for our Puerto Rico Perfumania operations. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are expenses in connection with the Services Agreement with Quality King, which were $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization was approximately $2.6 million and $2.7 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014.

Share-based compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million during both thirteen week periods ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014 represents the expense incurred on outstanding stock options.

Table of Contents

Interest expense was approximately $1.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015 compared with approximately $2.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014. The decrease in interest expense is due to a lower average outstanding balance and lower average interest rate on the Company's revolving credit facility compared with the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014.

The Company continues to record a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets, thus no income tax benefit was recorded during each of the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014

As a result of the foregoing, we realized net loss of approximately $16.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015 compared to net loss of $9.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014.

Gross Profit Percentages

Retail	49.5%	47.6%
Wholesale	45.5%	44.2%
Total gross profit percentage	47.8%	46.2%

Gross profit decreased 0.1% from $113.6 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $113.5 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015.

Perfumania's retail gross profit for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 decreased by 0.9% to $55.2 million compared with the comparable period in 2014. For these same periods, Perfumania's retail gross margins were 50.1% and 47.8%, respectively. The increase in Perfumania's gross margins is attributable to higher selling prices and a higher proportion of owned and licensed brands sold, which yield a higher margin.

SOW's gross profit dollars decreased from $13.2 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $12.8 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015. For these same periods, SOW's gross margins were 46.9% and 47.3%, respectively, due to less discounting and a higher proportion of owned and licensed brands sold, which yield a higher margin.

QFG's gross profit dollars increased from $23.3 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $26.6 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015. Parlux's gross profit decreased from $21.5 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 to $19.5 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015. Wholesale gross profit percentage increased from 44.2% during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 to 45.5% during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015.

Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $121.7 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015, compared to $113.8 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to higher advertising expenses to support a new brand launch, higher spending on the ongoing implementation of a new computer system and approximately $0.5 million related to alternative minimum taxes for our Puerto Rico Perfumania operations. Also included in selling, general and administrative expenses are expenses in connection with the Services Agreement with Quality King, which were $0.6 million and $0.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization was approximately $5.2 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015, compared to $5.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014.

Share-based compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million during both twenty-six week periods ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014 represents the expense incurred on outstanding stock options.

Interest expense was approximately $3.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 compared with approximately $4.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014. The decrease in interest expense is due to a lower average outstanding balance and lower average interest rate on the Company's revolving credit facility compared with the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014.

Since the Company continues to record a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets, no income tax benefit was recorded during either of the twenty-six week periods ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014.

As a result of the foregoing, we realized a net loss of approximately $17.0 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015, compared to a net loss of $10.4 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 was approximately $8.3 million, compared with approximately $14.3 million used in operating activities during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014. This increase primarily reflected changes in working capital. The changes in working capital are due primarily to the reduction in inventory and accounts receivable levels and an increase in accounts payable. The seasonality of our operations may lead to significant fluctuations in certain asset and liability accounts between fiscal year-end and subsequent interim periods.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $3.6 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 compared to $6.5 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014. Investing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 consisted of Perfumania store construction and remodels, capital expenditures related to the ongoing purchase and implementation of new computer systems and other corporate and information technology enhancements. The decrease in cash used in investing activities resulted from fewer new Perfumania store openings during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 compared with the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014. Also, spending on software and hardware for the Company's new computer systems was less during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 versus last year's comparative period. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015, Perfumania opened 2 new stores, relocated 4 stores and closed 3 stores compared with 6 new stores, 2 relocations and 12 store closures during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014. We plan to open 5 stores and close 1 store for the remainder of fiscal 2015. We continuously evaluate the appropriate new store growth rate in light of economic conditions and may adjust the growth rate as conditions change. Furthermore, we continue to evaluate the need to close, remodel or relocate existing stores.

Net cash used in financing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 was approximately $4.0 million, compared with $20.5 million provided by financing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014. The $24.5 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities is due primarily to lower borrowings under our bank line of credit. Our borrowings under our line of credit decreased due to a reduction in inventory levels and corresponding payments to trade vendors, as well as lower capital expenditures during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 compared with the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014.

The Company has a $175 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks (the “Senior Credit Facility”), which is used for the Company's general corporate purposes and those of its subsidiaries, including working capital. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are co-borrowers under the Senior Credit Facility, and the Company’s other subsidiaries have guaranteed all of their obligations thereunder. The Company was in compliance with all financial and operating covenants under the Senior Credit facility as of August 1, 2015. As of August 1, 2015, the Company had $63.3 million available to borrow under the Senior Credit Facility based on the borrowing base at that date.

The Company has various unsecured notes payable outstanding to affiliates which in aggregate total $125.4 million of principal. No payments of principal may be made on any of these notes payable to affiliates before the maturity of the Senior Credit Facility although interest payments are permitted under certain conditions. See further discussion of our notes payable to affiliates and our Senior Credit Facility in Note 5 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Our liquidity is impacted by a number of factors, including our sales levels, the amount of credit that our vendors extend to us and our borrowing capacity under our Senior Credit Facility. Our principal funding requirements are for inventory purchases, financing extended terms on accounts receivable, paying down accounts payable and debt, information system enhancements, opening new stores and renovation of existing stores. These capital requirements generally have been satisfied through borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and funds from operations. Based on current internal sales and cash flow projections, current vendor payable support and our projected available borrowing capacity under our Senior Credit Facility, as well as other initiatives to maximize cash flow, we believe that these resources will be adequate to meet our requirements in both the short and long-term.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Preparation of these statements requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, asset impairments, sales returns and allowances, income taxes and other contingent assets and liabilities. As such, some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in these financial statements. The judgments and estimates made can significantly affect results. Materially different amounts might be reported under different conditions or by using different assumptions. We consider an accounting policy to be critical if it is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and requires significant judgment and estimates by management in its application. We have identified certain critical accounting policies that affect the significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation

of its financial statements. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2015.
