PERFUMANIA HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 February 1, 2014, which has been derived from our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended February 1, 2014, 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 February 1, 2014.
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 thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 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 primary 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 CVS, Kohl's, Marshalls, Nordstrom Rack, Ross Stores, Sears, Target, 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, international distributors, on military bases throughout the United States, by QFG, SOW’s consignment business and Perfumania’s retail stores, paying royalties to the licensors based on a percentage of sales. Parlux also fulfills a selection of fragrances for several online retailers, shipping directly to customers and billing the retailer. All manufacturing operations are outsourced to third-party manufacturers.
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 November 1, 2014, Perfumania operated a chain of 326 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 2,000 stores, including approximately 1,000 Kmart locations nationwide. Its other retail customers include Burlington Coat Factory, Steinmart and K & G.

NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There are no recently issued accounting standards that are expected to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill in the amount of $38.8 million at November 1, 2014 and February 1, 2014 resulted from the April 18, 2012 acquisition of Parlux.

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. There were no triggering events during the thirteen or thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 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 and $1.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013, respectively, and $3.3 million and $4.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013, respectively. As of November 1, 2014, 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, 1,729,753 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance as of November 1, 2014. 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 November 1, 2014, 782,743 stock options have been granted pursuant to the 2010 Plan.

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. On April 25, 2014, the Senior Credit Facility was amended and the then current maximum borrowing amount was reduced from $225 million to $175 million and the termination date was extended from January 2015 to April 2019. Certain fees and interest rates were also reduced. 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 availability under the facility of at least $10 million. As of November 1, 2014, the Company had $47.3 million of 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 November 1, 2014, the interest rate on LIBOR Rate borrowings was 2.4% and the interest rate on base rate borrowings was 4.5%.
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 November 1, 2014.
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 $1.4 million and $1.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013, respectively, and $4.4 million and $4.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013, 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 November 1, 2014 and February 1, 2014 on the Nussdorf Trust Notes, the QKD Note, and the 2004 Note was approximately $38.1 million and $33.7 million, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of November 1, 2014 and February 1, 2014, 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

10

Table of Contents


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.
On April 18, 2012, the Company completed a non-taxable acquisition of Parlux. As part of the acquisition, the Company recorded various deferred tax liabilities related to the acquisition accounting resulting in an increase in goodwill. Due to the change in control of Parlux, there may be limitations, under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, on the Company's ability to utilize Parlux's net operating losses. The limitation is not anticipated to be significant.
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 or thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014.
During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014, 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 operating expenses 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 November 1, 2014 and February 1, 2014 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.
On April 15, 2014, the Company filed a request with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to change its tax year from June 30 to a fifty-two/fifty-three week year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31, which will correspond with its accounting year-end. On June 2, 2014, the IRS notified the Company that the Company’s request to change its tax year has been accepted. The Company filed a short-period return for the period July 1, 2013 through February 1, 2014 in October 2014.

NOTE 7 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share has been computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income (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 thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 there were 7,348,694 and 7,399,461 potential shares of common stock related to stock options and warrants which were excluded from the diluted income (loss) per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 there were 7,255,094 and 7,489,489 potential shares of common stock related to stock options and warrants which were excluded from the diluted income (loss) per share calculation because the effect of including these potential 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
Level 1 inputs);
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

11

Table of Contents


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 November 1, 2014, 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 thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013.
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 or any of the above 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 10 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Glenn, Stephen and Arlene Nussdorf owned an aggregate 7,742,282 shares or approximately 50.0% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock as of November 1, 2014, excluding shares issuable upon exercise of certain warrants and not assuming the exercise of any outstanding options. Stephen Nussdorf has served as the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors since February 2004 and Executive Chairman of the Board since April 2011.

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 February 1, 2014. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, who is its Chief

13

Table of Contents


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 November 1, 2014, our third quarter in fiscal 2014, decreased 0.9% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, while net sales on a year-to-date basis in fiscal 2014 increased 2.5% compared to fiscal 2013. Our wholesale segment’s net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased by 0.9% over the third quarter of fiscal 2013 while wholesale sales on a year-to-date basis in fiscal 2014 increased by 10.7% over fiscal 2013. During the year, wholesale sales fluctuate due to seasonal demand, new product launches, the size and timing of certain orders from our 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. Our retail segment’s net sales decreased by 0.8% from the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and retail sales on a year-to-date basis decreased by 3.4% compared with the same period of fiscal 2013, as we had fewer Perfumania stores in operation compared with last year’s third quarter, and SOW had two fewer consignment accounts.
Gross profit during the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 was $73.1 million, an increase of 3.9% compared to last year’s third quarter. Gross profit during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 was $186.8 million, an increase of 9.9% over the comparative period last year. The increases in gross profit are due to higher retail gross margins and the purchase accounting adjustments recorded during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 discussed below, which did not reoccur in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014.
Total operating expenses were $63.3 million and $182.5 million during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014, increases of 5.0% and 3.6% versus the comparative periods last year. The increases are primarily attributable to higher advertising expense to promote launches of new licensed brands.

14

Table of Contents


As a result of the above, our net income increased by 3.1% to $7.5 million during the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 from $7.3 million during last year’s third quarter, and our net loss decreased by 79.4% to $2.9 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 from $13.9 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013.

Net sales decreased 0.9% from $155.7 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 to $154.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014. The decrease in sales included a $0.7 million decrease in wholesale sales and a $0.6 million decrease in retail sales.
Wholesale sales decreased by 0.9% from $79.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 to $78.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014. QFG's sales increased from $50.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 to $51.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 due primarily to higher customer demand and additional distribution of owned and licensed brands as well as distributed brands. Parlux's sales decreased from $28.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 to $27.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014.
Retail sales decreased by 0.8% from $76.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 to $75.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014. Perfumania's retail sales decreased by $1.3 million while SOW's consignment sales increased by $0.7 million.
Perfumania's retail sales decreased from $61.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 to $60.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014. The decrease in Perfumania's sales was due primarily to fewer stores being operated, as the average number of stores operated was 325 in the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 and 335 in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013. Perfumania's comparable store sales decreased by 0.1% during the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 from the same period in 2013. 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 November 1, 2014 decreased by 3.1% from the prior year's comparable period, while the total number of units sold increased by 0.8%.
SOW's consignment sales increased from $14.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 to $15.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014. The increase in SOW's net sales is due to an increase in sales at SOW's largest account offset by SOW having two less consignment accounts during the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 compared with the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013.

During the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013, gross profit was reduced by approximately $1.8 million to expense a portion of the purchase accounting adjustment to record Parlux's acquired inventory at fair market value at the acquisition date. The entire purchase accounting adjustment was expensed in fiscal 2013. Excluding the effect of the purchase accounting adjustment, retail and wholesale gross profit percentages during the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 were 47.2% and 45.5%, respectively.
Perfumania's retail gross profit dollars increased from $28.3 million during the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 to $29.6 million during the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014. For these same periods, Perfumania's retail gross margins were 46.0% and 49.1%, respectively. The increase in gross margins is attributable to higher selling prices and the purchase accounting adjustment discussed above.
Wholesale gross profit percentage increased from 43.8% during the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 to 45.6% during the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014. See discussion of purchase accounting adjustment above which impacted gross profit dollars and percentage during the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013.

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 $60.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014, compared to $57.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to higher advertising expenses to support licensed brands. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are expenses in connection with the Services Agreement with Quality King, which were less than $0.1 million during the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013.
Depreciation and amortization was approximately $2.4 million and $2.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013, respectively.
Interest expense was approximately $2.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 compared with approximately $2.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013. The decrease in interest expense is due to a lower average interest rate on the Company's revolving credit facility compared with the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013.
The Company continues to record a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets, thus no income tax benefit was recorded during the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013. On April 15, 2014, the Company filed a request with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to change its tax year from June 30 to a fifty-two/fifty-three week year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31, which will correspond with its accounting year-end. On June 2, 2014, the IRS notified the Company that the Company’s request to change its tax year has been accepted. The Company filed a short-period return for the period July 1, 2013 through February 1, 2014 in October 2014.
As a result of the foregoing, we realized net income of approximately $7.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 compared to net income of $7.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013.

QFG's sales increased from $107.0 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 to $116.5 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 due primarily to higher customer demand and additional distribution of owned and licensed brands as well as distributed brands. Parlux's sales increased from $54.1 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 to $63.0 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 primarily due to several new product launches.
Retail sales decreased by 3.4% from $228.1 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 to $220.3 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014.

Gross profit increased 9.9% from $170.0 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 to $186.8 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014. During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013, gross profit was reduced by approximately $9.3 million to expense a portion of the purchase accounting adjustment to record Parlux's acquired inventory at fair market value at the acquisition date. The entire purchase accounting adjustment was expensed in fiscal 2013. Excluding the effect of the purchase accounting adjustment, retail and wholesale gross profit percentages during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 were 47.2% and 44.0%, respectively.
Perfumania's retail gross profit for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 decreased by 0.1% to $85.3 million compared with the comparable period in 2013. For these same periods, Perfumania's retail gross margins were 48.2% and 46.8%, respectively. The increase in gross margins is attributable to the purchase accounting adjustment discussed above.
Wholesale gross profit dollars increased by 25.0% due to the increases in Parlux and QFG's sales discussed above. Wholesale gross profit percentage increased from 39.7% during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 to 44.8% during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014. See discussion of purchase accounting adjustment above which impacted gross profit dollars and percentage during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013.

Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $174.5 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014, compared to $166.5 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to higher advertising expenses to support licensed brands. Also included in selling, general and administrative expenses are expenses in connection with the Services Agreement with Quality King, which were $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization was approximately $7.7 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014, compared to $9.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013.
Share-based compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million during both thirty-nine week periods ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013 represents the expense incurred on outstanding stock options.
Interest expense was approximately $7.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 compared with approximately $7.8 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013.
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 thirty-nine week periods ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013.
As a result of the foregoing, we realized a net loss of approximately $2.9 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014, compared to a net loss of $13.9 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used in operating activities during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 was approximately $21.2 million, compared with approximately $49.3 million used in operating activities during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013. 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 $9.2 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 compared to $4.0 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013. Investing activities during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 consisted of Perfumania store construction and remodels, capital expenditures related to an ongoing purchase and implementation of new computer systems and other corporate and information technology enhancements. During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014, Perfumania opened 11 new stores, relocated 4 stores and closed 14 stores. We plan to open approximately 2 stores and close 5 stores for the remainder of fiscal 2014. 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 provided by financing activities during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 was approximately $32.6 million, compared with $53.3 million provided by financing activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013. The $20.7 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities is due to lower borrowings under our bank line of credit.
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 November 1, 2014. As of November 1, 2014, the Company had $47.3 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, notes payable to affiliates 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, 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 February 1, 2014.
