Item 1. Business
Introduction
Jean Philippe Fragrances, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in May 1985, maintains it executive offices at 551 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10176 and its telephone number is 212-983-2640. Unless the context otherwise indicates, the term "Jean Philippe" refers to the parent company, Jean Philippe Fragrances, Inc., and the term the "Company" refers to Jean Philippe Fragrances, Inc. and its consolidated majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, Inter Parfums Holdings, S.A. ("IP Holdings"), Inter Parfums, S.A. ("Inter Parfums"), Inter Parfums Trademarks, S.A. (formerly Jean Desprez, S.A.) and Inter Parfums Cosmetiques (formerly Jean Desprez, S.A.); and the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Elite Parfums, Ltd. ("Elite") and Jean Philippe Fragrances do Brasil, Ltda. ("Jean Philippe Brasil"), a limited liability company.
The Company is a manufacturer and distributor of fragrances and cosmetics in the following niche markets: domestic and international brand name and licensed fragrances, alternative designer fragrances and mass market cosmetics.
The Company is the owner of the Intimate(Registered), Parfums Molyneux(Registered) and Parfums Weil(Registered) fragrance lines, and Aziza(Registered), a hypo-allergenic line of eye cosmetics; is the exclusive licensee in the United States and Puerto Rico for Cutex(Registered) nail care (excluding nail polish remover) and lip products; and is world-wide licensee, manufacturer and distributor of the Burberrys(Registered), Ombre Rose(Registered) and Regine's(Registered) fragrance lines, the Jordache(Registered) line of fragrances and cosmetics and Chaz(Registered) fragrances for men.
Inter Parfums markets its own line of moderately priced fragrances and certain licensed or brand name fragrances in approximately sixty (60) countries worldwide.
The Company has in the past acquired, and may in the future seek to acquire, one (1) or more companies or divisions of companies in the fragrance or related business, or fragrance product lines or related products. Any and all discussions had by management to date have been at the inquiry, pre-negotiation level only, and no assurances can be given that: (i) management will pursue any transaction should a company, business, division, or product line become available; (ii) or if pursued, that any transaction will be consummated; or (iii) if consummated, that such transaction will increase the Company's earnings.
Products and Selection
-Alternative Designer Fragrances
The Company produces and markets several lines of fragrances which it
sells at a substantial discount from the high image, high retail cost brand name counterparts. Prior to producing and marketing a new alternative designer product, management of the Company looks for the existence of certain factors with respect to a particular designer fragrance: (i) high retail cost, (ii) substantial expenditure of advertising dollars and (iii) selective distribution. Management is of the opinion that the presence of all three (3) factors gives a reasonable degree of market presence for such designer fragrance. Management then seeks to create a similar scent which, together with creative packaging and steeply discounted prices, will create what the Company intends will be an appealing fragrance to be sold to mass market merchandisers and drug store chains at substantial discounts from the higher cost brand name fragrance.
The Company's alternative designer fragrances are similar in scent to highly advertised designer fragrances that have been established in the retail market at a high retail price. These products are produced in the United States, and are intended to have an upscale image without a high retail price. The Company's alternative designer fragrances, which typically sell for under $5.00 at the retail level, are substantially discounted from the high cost of designer fragrances, which range from $30.00 to $200.00.
Some of the alternative designer fragrances currently produced and marketed by the Company include: Fleur de Paris(Trademark), Radiance(Trademark), Elite 2(Trademark), Flight(Trademark), Dakota(Trademark), Memphis(Registered), Snow Silk(Registered), Duo(Trademark), Sexation(Trademark) and Gold by Jean Philippe(Registered).
Additionally, the Company markets complementary alternative designer fragrance products such as deodorant sticks, roll on deodorants and body sprays. New products are intended to be developed in accordance with market feasibility and demand. Management of the Company believes that demand for new alternative designer fragrances may be created when participants in the designer fragrance industry launch promotional campaigns for new products.
-Brand Name and Licensed Fragrances
The Parfums Weil and Parfums Molyneux world-wide family of trademarks were acquired in February 1994 by Inter Parfums, and cover a variety of moderately priced fragrance lines for distribution to perfumeries, and the fragrance lines are distributed in over thirty (30) countries world-wide. Parfums Molyneux, formed in 1927, has established a classic line of fragrances including Captain and Quartz, with representation in all major markets world-wide. Parfums Weil has enjoyed a similar history dating back to the early 1900's with its first production of a range of original perfumes presented in exquisite Baccarat bottles. Through the years the fragrance lines were modernized and expanded, and today include the trademarks Bambou, Antilope and Kipling, among others. Quartz by Molyneux has achieved wide acceptance in Central and South America. As a result, Inter Parfums will introduce a new fragrance, Quartz for men, in 1996. During 1995, Inter Parfums launched Fluer de Weil, a new fragrance developed by Inter Parfums following the trend of light floral notes associated with the Weil brand. Initial results for this new fragrance have been promising.
In March 1994 the Company acquired from Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("Revlon") the world-wide trademarks for the Intimate fragrance
line, and entered into a 99 year royalty free license agreement with Revlon for the use of the trademark Chaz in connection with men's fragrances, deodorants and body sprays.
The Intimate and Chaz brands cover a variety of moderately priced fragrances for mass market distribution, and are currently distributed in a number of countries throughout the world. The Intimate product line has been available for over forty (40) years and has gained a reputation for quality and value with women over forty (40) years of age.
In July 1993 Inter Parfums acquired the exclusive world-wide license for Burberrys fragrances in accordance with the terms of a License Agreement entered into among Burberrys Limited as licensor, Inter Parfums as licensee and Jean Philippe as the guarantor of Inter Parfums obligations thereunder (the "Burberrys License Agreement"). The Burberrys License Agreement expires on December 31, 2003, subject to certain minimum sales requirements and royalty payments. In 1995 Inter Parfums completely redesigned all products under the Burberry's brand name, which achieved successful distribution in more than twenty (20) countries around the world.
In July 1993 Inter Parfums acquired the exclusive world-wide license for Ombre Rose fragrances as well as other fragrances to be developed by Inter Parfums in accordance with the terms of a License Agreement entered into between Jean-Charles Brosseau S.A. as licensor and Inter Parfums as licensee (the "Brosseau License Agreement"). The Brosseau License Agreement is for a term of ten (10) years, subject to certain minimum sales requirements and royalty payments. The Ombre Rose line, with its classically designed bottle, continues to enjoy wide acceptance in the Far East and the United States.
In addition, Inter Parfums acquired all of the then existing world-wide distribution rights for Ombre Rose fragrances, which had previously been granted to two (2) affiliated companies based in Miami, Florida, subject to continuing in effect certain sub-distribution agreements outside of the United States in accordance with their respective terms. As part of such transaction, Inter Parfums granted exclusive distribution rights in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico to Fragrance Marketing Group, Inc., an affiliate of the former distributors of Ombre Rose, for the same term of the Brosseau License Agreement, subject to certain minimum purchase requirements. Jean Philippe has guaranteed the obligations of Inter Parfums under such agreements.
In January 1990 the Company obtained the exclusive right to use the trademark Jordache(Registered) from Jordache Enterprises, Inc. ("Jordache") in connection with the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of fragrances and cosmetics in the United States. The Company also received the license to manufacture, market and distribute fragrances and cosmetics in various territories abroad, which territories are to become exclusive in nature upon the commencement of substantial bona fide sales in each such territory. The initial term of the license was for five and a half (5-1/2) years and ended on June 30, 1995. In addition the license agreement provides the Company with the right to renew the license for ten (10) annual renewal terms, subject to certain minimum sales and royalty payment requirements. In the first quarter of both fiscal 1995 and 1996, the Company elected to renew the Jordache license for the next annual period. Since obtaining the right to use the Jordache trademark, the Company has created and produced, and presently
markets, a Jordache(Registered) product line, which consists of a collection of moderately priced fragrances and cosmetics (lipstick and nail polish) geared to the youth market.
In February 1989 the Company became the exclusive world wide distributor for a new fragrance called Regine's, which is sold internationally in approximately sixty (60) countries. The Regine's fragrance was developed by Inter Parfums, the first original fragrance to be created and marketed by the Company. Inter Parfums markets Regine's, Zoa(Trademark) and Jimmy'z (the Regine's men's fragrance) outside the United States and Canada.
In March 1996, the Company, through its indirect, majority-held subsidiary, Parfums Jean Desprez, S.A. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jean Desprez, S.A., sold to Parlux Fragrances, Inc. all of the trademarks and related intellectual property rights, equipment, ancillary assets and inventory of the Bal`a Versailles and Revolution `a Versailles lines, among others. In addition, Parfums Jean Desprez and Jean Desprez on behalf of themselves and their parent and affiliated corporations, agreed not to create alternative designer fragrances with similar packaging to the Bal`a Versailles and Revolution `a Versailles, lines. The aggregate consideration paid by the purchaser was $4.95 million (which included $1.8 million of inventory at cost), payable $1.575 million in cash at closing and $3.375 million in installments over a nine (9) month period without interest. Inter Parfums, the parent of Parfums Jean Desprez, paid approximately $3.1 million in excess of the tangible assets of the companies acquired, for the outstanding capital stock of Parfums Jean Desprez in July 1994.
-International Fragrances
Inter Parfums creates, produces and markets its proprietary line of fragrances designed to appear expensive, with attractive bottling and packaging, but sold in the middle market. Typical proprietary fragrances sold by Inter Parfums retail between U.S.$10.00 to $15.00.
Mass Market Cosmetics
On August 1, 1994 Jean Philippe entered into a license agreement with Chesebrough-Pond's, Inc. for the exclusive rights to manufacture and market Cutex(Registered) nail care (excluding nail polish remover) and lip color products in the United States and Puerto Rico (the "Cutex License"). The Cutex License provides for an initial term of seven (7) years together with three (3) annual renewal periods, and either party may cancel the agreement if certain minimum annual sales levels are not achieved. The Cutex License also provides for the payment of royalties based upon net sales and minimum annual royalty payments.
The Cutex License contemplates certain minimum sales levels over the life of the agreement, which would constitute a material increase over the Company's recent level of net sales. However, sales of Cutex products have been substantially below that set forth in the Cutex License, and product returns have been substantially higher than anticipated. As a result of disappointing sales in the Cutex lip color line, the Company decided to discontinue production
of the line in October 1995. As a result, the Company has taken a nonrecurring charge aggregating $2.2 million, before taxes, in the fourth quarter of 1995. (See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation"). This charge represents a writedown of current lip product inventory and the effect of potential customer returns or markdowns which may be required on lip products in 1996. The discontinued lip color line did not contribute to net sales in 1995 as customer returns exceeded new product shipments.
Further, the Company and the licensor of Cutex have agreed to a reduction in the minimum annual royalties payable under the Cutex License. The Company believes that such relief along with the discontinuance of the lip color line will enable the Company to direct all Cutex marketing efforts and resources to building upon the core nail care business for which Cutex is famous.
In February 1996 the Company relaunched the Aziza(Registered) brand hypo-allergenic line of eye cosmetics through mass market distribution. The new Aziza line was completely modernized and includes thirty-six (36) of the historically most popular and best selling mascaras, eyeliners and eyeshadows. The Company acquired the world-wide rights to the brand name Aziza in June 1994 from Chesebrough-Pond's USA, Unilever N.V. and various affiliates of Unilever N.V. for nominal consideration.
Also in the mass market cosmetics category, the Company has created, produced and markets a Jordache(Registered) line of cosmetics (lipstick and nail polish), which is geared to the youth segment of such market.
The Company's Cutex nail care, Jordache cosmetic and Aziza lines are presently distributed in approximately 20,000 mass market outlets.
Production and Supply
A substantial portion of the Company's products are produced by the Company either in the United States or France. Although the Company does not own a factory or production plant, it acts as a general contractor, and supervises each stage of production from the creation of the fragrance, design and creation of the bottle, dispenser or container, filling of same, packing and shipping, all as performed by various subcontractors. Management believes that its relationships with such subcontractors are good, and that there are sufficient alternatives should one or more subcontractors become unavailable.
Inventory
The Company purchases its raw materials and component parts from suppliers based upon internal estimates of anticipated need for finished goods, which enables the Company to meet its production requirements for finished goods. The Company generally delivers customer orders within seventy-two (72) hours of their receipt.
Sales and Marketing
The broad array of Company product lines permits the Company to market fragrances and cosmetics to all levels of distribution -- the alternative designer fragrances, Cutex and Jordache cosmetics at mass market, the Inter
Parfums proprietary line at the moderately priced level and the Company's brand name and licensed designer fragrances at the high end.
The Company markets its alternative designer fragrances and personal care products and its Cutex and Jordache product lines through in-house sales executives to mass merchandisers, major drugstore chains, supermarket chains, "specialty store chains" (multiple outlets of accessories, jewelry and clothing), and wholesalers. The Company's alternative designer products are presently being sold in approximately 18,000 retail outlets, and the Cutex, Aziza and Jordache product lines are presently being sold in approximately 20,000 retail outlets.
In addition, the Company has established an electronic ordering system, or Electronic Data Interface ("EDI"), which permits the Company to receive orders for products via computer modem, as opposed to hard copy purchase orders, from certain major retailers. Management believes that EDI facilitates the receipt and processing of customer orders.
Mass market merchandisers and major drug chains are the most established markets for all of Jean Philippe's product lines, and are the traditional points of distribution for them. The ultimate market for this business segment is the general public. Some of the mass market merchandisers, major drug store chains and supermarket chains which are presently carrying the Company's products include: Walmart, KMart, Walgreen's, Revco, Rite Aid, Winn Dixie, CVS, Publix, and Thrifty Drugs.
Another market for the Company's products consists of distributors and wholesalers, which service independent stores. Often, the trends in this business segment mirror those of major drug store chains and mass market retailers. The Company uses the same marketing strategy of providing quality products coupled with flexible programs (i.e., discounts, extended payment terms) in order to compete with other alternative fragrance companies.
During fiscal years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, no customer accounted for ten percent (10%) or more of sales on a consolidated basis.
Foreign Sales and Marketing
Marketing and sales of the Company's brand name and licensed designer fragrance line are conducted through independent distributors, in-house executives and international agents and importing companies and such products are sold in approximately sixty (60) countries world-wide. Generally, marketing and advertising are subject to approval of the respective licensors. Advertising for the Company's designer fragrance lines appear in high fashion magazines and to a lesser extent on television in France and the Middle East.
Inter Parfums maintains its own in-house sales force with executives who are generally responsible for marketing the Inter Parfums designer fragrance lines in specific territories. In France, the Inter Parfums designer fragrance lines are sold in approximately 1000 perfumeries.
Inter Parfums markets its middle market proprietary fragrances to wholesalers in France, and to distributors and importers predominantly in the Middle East, Far East, Central America and South America through in-house sales
executives.
In October 1995 the Company commenced marketing its alternative designer fragrance and Jordache lines through a newly formed limited liability company organized in Brazil, Jean Philippe Brasil.
See Note "J" to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the Company's operations by geographic areas.
Product Liability
The Company maintains product liability coverage in an amount of $3,000,000, which it believes is adequate to cover substantially all of the exposure it may have with respect to its products. The Company has never been the subject of any material product liability claims.
Competition
The market for fragrances and beauty related products is highly competitive and sensitive to changing consumer preferences and demands. At the present time, management is aware of approximately five (5) established companies which market similar alternative designer fragrances. The Company believes that the quality of its fragrance products, as well as its ability to quickly and efficiently develop and distribute new products, will enable it to continue to effectively compete with these companies.
The market for name brand and budget color cosmetics is highly competitive, with several major cosmetic companies marketing similar products, many with substantial financial resources and national marketing campaigns. The Company has experienced competitive pressures in this market, and it may be difficult for the Company to significantly increase the market share of its brands against this competition. However, management believes that brand recognition of its Cutex, Aziza and Jordache lines, together with the quality and competitive pricing of its products, should enable it to compete with these companies.
However, especially in the area of high priced, original designer fragrances, there are products which are better known than the products produced for or distributed by the Company. There are also many companies which are substantially larger and more diversified, and which have substantially greater financial and marketing resources than the Company, as well as greater name recognition, and the ability to develop and market products competitive with those distributed by the Company. For these reasons, it may be particularly difficult for the Company to successfully increase market share in the high priced, original designer fragrance market.
Government Regulation
A fragrance is a "cosmetic" as that term is defined under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act ("FDC Act"), and must comply with the labeling requirements of the FDC Act, the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, and the regulations thereunder. Certain of the Company's Cutex brand color cosmetic products contain menthol, and are also classified as a "drug," as the categories of cosmetic and drug are not mutually exclusive. Additional regulatory
requirements for such products include additional labeling requirements, registration of manufacturer and semi-annual update of drug list.
The Company's fragrances are subject to approval of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms as the result of the use of specially denatured alcohol. To date the Company has not experienced any difficulties in obtaining such approval.
Trademarks
In the United States the Company's registered trademarks include Intimate, Aziza, Beverly, Fire by Jean Philippe(Registered), Fashion Mood(Registered), Snow Silk(Registered) and Memphis(Registered). In addition, the Company has various trademark applications pending. In addition, under various license agreements the Company has the right to use the registered trademark Cutex in the United States and Puerto Rico, and the registered trademarks, Burberrys, Ombre Rose, Chaz, Regine's and Jordache both in the United States and abroad.
Outside of the United States and Canada, the Company owns the following registered trademarks: Intimate, Aziza, the Parfums Molyneux family of trademarks, including Captain, Quartz and Lord, and the Parfums Weil family of trademarks, including Bambou, Antilope and Kipling. See "Business-Products and Selection".

In connection therewith, the Company has expended approximately $1.0 million in equipment and improvements and incurred moving expenses of approximately $50,000 in the fourth quarter of 1995. Management of the Company is of the belief that the Company's distribution center is satisfactory for its present needs and those for the foreseeable future.

Item 7.

Item 7. Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operation
The Company's long-term business strategy of building core volume and profitability, developing products in new categories, exploring strategic acquisition opportunities, and pursuing expansion in international markets, has enabled the Company to report another record year for growth in sales. However, current year earnings excluding the gain on sale of stock of subsidiary, reflect the obstacles encountered in bringing the newly acquired Cutex nail care and lip
color lines to the profitability levels originally anticipated. As discussed in more detail below, current earnings reflect a nonrecurring charge of $2.2 million, before taxes, relating to the discontinuance of the Cutex lip color line in October 1995.
1995 as Compared to 1994
Net sales increased 25% to $93.7 million, as compared to $75.1 million in 1994. This increase reflects the Company's ability to integrate new product lines with existing product offerings. Sales generated by the Company's domestic operations increased 19%. Such growth is the result of the August 1994 acquisition of the Cutex nail care and lip color line, and the continued growth in the core Alternative Designer Fragrance lines.
Net sales generated by Cutex product lines increased $5.3 million over 1994 net sales. This increase was well below original expectations as the result of excessive product returns caused in part from the required change in the Uniform Product Code from that of Chesebrough-Ponds and disappointing sales of the lip color line.
In October 1995 the Company decided to discontinue production of the lip color line and as a result, has taken a nonrecurring charge aggregating $2.2 million, before taxes, in the fourth quarter of 1995. This charge represents a writedown of current lip product inventory and the effect of potential customer returns or markdowns which may be required on lip products in 1996. The discontinued lip color line did not contribute to net sales in 1995 as customer returns exceeded new product shipments.
As a result of the issues relating to the Cutex product lines, the Company and the licensor have agreed to a reduction of the minimum royalties payable under the Cutex license. The Company believes that such relief along with the discontinuance of the lip color line will enable the Company to direct all Cutex marketing efforts and resources to building upon the core nail care business for which Cutex is famous.
Sales by the Company's foreign subsidiaries increased 36%; at comparable foreign currency exchange rates, sales by the Company's foreign subsidiaries increased 22%. Such increase reflects new product introductions under the Ombre Rose and Burberrys labels and initial sales by Jean Philippe Brasil, the Company's recently organized Brazilian subsidiary, which commenced operations in October 1995.
The Company continues to focus its sales efforts on development of new product categories for sale to our expanding customer base. The February 1996 relaunch of the Aziza(Registered) hypo allergenic eye cosmetic line is well under way.
Gross profit margin was 48% in both 1995 and 1994. Ordinarily, increased sales of Cutex products would have enabled the Company to improve overall gross margin. However, with the excessive customer returns experienced in 1995, markdowns and inventory writedowns of returned products were necessary. In addition, gross margin has been negatively impacted from incremental closeout sales of discontinued or returned product at reduced prices. While in the ordinary course of business the Company closes out such inventory, management
had taken an increased initiative to reduce excess inventory to improve the Company's cash flow and in preparation of moving to our new distribution center in Dayton NJ. The Company's business lines, excluding Cutex, generated a 46% gross margin in both 1995 and 1994.
Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 35% of net sales in 1995 as compared to 32% in 1994. The increase is primarily the result of promotion and advertising expenses required for the Cutex product lines and reflect the fact that sales of the Cutex color lines have been below original expectations. Management is taking the steps it deems necessary to bring these product lines to an acceptable profitability level. In addition, most licensed product lines call for royalties to be paid based on sales volume and some require minimum advertising expenditures.
Interest expense increased to $1.1 million in 1995 from $0.8 million in 1994. The Company uses its available credit lines, as needed, to finance its working capital needs.
The Company realized a gain on foreign currency aggregating $197,000 in 1995 as compared to a loss of $161,000 in 1994. The Company, on occasion enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts as a hedge for short-term intercompany borrowings.
The Company recognized a net gain on sale of stock of a subsidiary aggregating $3.3 million in 1995 and $0.2 million in 1994. The 1995 gain resulted primarily from the public offering by Inter Parfums, in France, of 308,000 shares of its common stock. The 1994 gain also resulted from the sale of common stock by Inter Parfums. Such sales of shares has been accounted for as a gain on sale of stock of a subsidiary and is not part of a broader corporate reorganization contemplated by the Company. Although additional shares may be issued in the future, the Company has no plans to spin-off its subsidiary nor to repurchase the shares previously issued. (See Liquidity and Financial Resources).
The Company's effective income tax rate was 26% in 1995 and 37% in 1994. Both the 1995 and 1994 tax rates were favorably impacted as deferred taxes were not required to be provided on the gain on sale of stock by Inter Parfums. Excluding such gain the Company's effective tax rate was 35% in 1995 and 37% in 1994.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased 24% to $9.0 million compared to $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. Results for 1995 include a nonrecurring charge of $1.3 million, on an after tax basis, relating to the discontinuance of the lip color line. Results also include a net gain from the sale of common stock of a subsidiary of $3.3 million in 1995 and $0.2 million in 1994. Excluding the nonrecurring charge and such gains, net income was $7.1 million or $0.68 per share in 1995 and in 1994.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 10,438,896 in 1995 and 10,454,555 in 1994.
1994 as Compared to 1993
Net sales increased 26% to $75.1 million, as compared to $59.5 million
in 1993. The results for 1994 reflect the Company's success in integrating new product lines with pre existing product offerings, and creating greater opportunities to serve the needs of its customers. Sales generated by the Company's domestic operations increased 12%. Such growth reflects the positive impact of the recently acquired Cutex lip and nail product line and the negative impact of store closings of one of the Company's larger customers.
Sales by the Company's foreign subsidiaries increased 62%; at comparable foreign currency exchange rates, sales by the Company's foreign subsidiaries increased 59%. Such increase reflects contributions from the Ombre Rose and Burberrys license agreements as well as the Parfums Molyneux and Parfums Weil fragrance lines.
In connection with the Company's recent acquisitions and license agreements, the Company has restructured its retail sales force and has added additional experienced salespeople. The Company's primary efforts are now focused on capitalizing on its expanding list of customer relationships. With efficient product development and a strong national sales force, the Company can now offer to all of its customers, its growing collection of fragrance, personal care and color cosmetic products.
Gross profit margin for 1994 increased to 48% of sales from 45% in 1993. The Company's decision to purchase certain raw materials and component parts for its domestic operations at lower domestic prices continued to benefit the Company's gross margin throughout 1994. In addition, initial sales of Cutex products have enabled the Company to further improve its gross margin; without such sales gross profit margin would have been 46%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 32% of net sales in 1994 as compared to 27% and 1993. The increase is primarily the result of expenses incurred in connection with the restructuring of the Company's sales force and the transition of all of the Company's new product lines into its existing domestic and international business operations. In addition, most licensed product lines call for royalties to be paid based on sales volume and some require minimum advertising expenditures.
Interest expense increased to $803,000 in 1994 from $619,000 in 1993.The Company uses its available credit lines, as needed, to finance its working capital needs.
In 1994, as a result of the decline of the U.S. dollar relative to the French franc, the Company incurred a loss on foreign currency of $161,000 as compared to a gain of $179,000 in 1993. The Company, on occasion enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts as a hedge for short-term intercompany borrowings. No material hedge transactions were entered into during 1994.
Gain on sale of stock of subsidiary aggregated $221,000 in 1994 as compared to a gain of $645,000 1993. The 1993 gain resulted from the issuance by Inter Parfums of 7.65% of its common stock. In 1994, an additional 10,000 shares were sold to enable the stock of Inter Parfums to commence trading in the over-the-counter stock market in Paris, and 11,536 shares were issued pursuant to the conversion terms of Inter Parfum's long-term debt. These issuances of shares by Inter Parfums have been accounted for as a gain on sale of stock of
subsidiary; the issuances are not part of a broader corporate reorganization contemplated by the Company. Although additional shares may be issued in the future the Company has no plans to spin-off its subsidiary nor repurchase the shares previously issued.
The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 37.1% in 1994 from 36.8% in 1993. Both 1994 and 1993 were favorably impacted as deferred taxes were not required to be provided on the gain from issuance of common stock by Inter Parfums.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $7.3 million compared to $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. Results for the year include a net gain from the sale of common stock of a subsidiary of $221,000 or $0.02 per share in 1994 and $645,000 or $0.06 per share in 1993. Excluding such gain, net income increased 9.3% to $7.1 million or $0.68 per share compared to $6.5 million or $0.64 per share for the year ended December 31, 1993.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding increased 3% to 10,454,555 in 1994 from 10,132,628 in 1993. This increase is primarily the result of the issuance of common stock in connection with the February 1994 acquisition of Parfums Molyneux and Parfums Weil.
Liquidity and Financial Resources
The Company's financial position continues to show solid strength as a result of profitable operating results. At December 31, 1995, working capital aggregated $41.4 million and the Company had cash and cash equivalents aggregating $14.2 million. The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock and as of December 31, 1995, 324,305 shares had been purchased at an average price per share of $8.91. Through February 1996 an additional 138,000 shares were purchased at an average price per share of $7.85.
In November 1995, the Company's majority owned subsidiary, Inter Parfums sold to the public in France 308,000 shares of its capital stock at 130 French francs per share. Net proceeds of such offering aggregated 36.5 million French francs ($7.6 million U.S.). In connection with such offering, Inter Parfums Holding ("Holding"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and direct parent of Inter Parfums, exercised its right to convert a portion of its convertible debt into 250,000 shares of capital stock of Inter Parfums at 80 French francs per share.
As a result of such offering and related debt to equity conversions, the interest of the Company in Inter Parfums, as held by Holding, was reduced from 90.64% to 76.72%.
The Company's short-term financing requirements are expected to be met by available cash at December 31, 1995, cash generated by operations and short-term credit lines provided by domestic and foreign banks. The principal credit facility for 1996 is a $12.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit provided by a domestic commercial bank. Borrowings under the domestic revolving line of credit are due on demand and bear interest at the bank's prime lending rate.
Management of the Company believes that funds generated from operations, supplemented by its available credit facilities, will provide it with sufficient resources to meet all present and reasonably foreseeable future operating needs.
Operating activities provided $2.8 million of net cash in 1995 as compared to $2.1 million in 1994. As the Company continues to monitor and improve its procedures with respect to collection of outstanding receivables and closely monitor inventory levels, the Company anticipates continued improvement in cash flow. Current inventory levels reflect the necessary quantities to support the upcoming selling season and new product introductions.
On October 25, 1995, the Company took occupancy of its new 145,000 square foot distribution center at 60 Stults Road in Dayton NJ. The premises have been leased by the Company for an eight year term and require monthly rental payments of $57,000, aggregating $684,000 per annum. In connection therewith, the Company has invested approximately $0.7 million in equipment and improvements and expects to invest an additional $0.3 million in 1996.
Inflation rates in the U.S. and foreign countries in which the Company operates have not had a significant impact on operating results for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Item 13. Certain Relationships And Related Party Transactions
Transactions with French Subsidiaries
In July 1994 the Company, through its subsidiary, Inter Parfums, acquired the outstanding capital stock of Parfums Jean Desprez, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jean Desprez, S.A. for approximately $3.1 million in excess of the tangible assets of the companies acquired.
The acquisition was funded by Jean Philippe, and is being carried as an advance to its direct French subsidiary, IP Holding, and is due and payable on July 12, 1999, together with interest at seven percent (7%) per annum on the unpaid principal balance, payable quarterly in arrears, to the date of payment of the principal balance. IP Holding has in turn advanced such funds to Inter Parfums, which are repayable to IP Holding in ten (10) years together with interest at seven percent (7%) per annum. In addition, subject to compliance with applicable French regulatory requirements, the advance is convertible at the option of IP Holding into additional shares of common stock of Inter Parfums at the rate of 86 French francs per share.
Subsequent to the closing of the sale of the Bal`a Versailles and Revolution `a Versailles assets in March 1996 (see Item 1, "Business-Products and Selection-Brand Name and Licensed Products"), IP Holdings intends to repay
the sum of $1.575 million to Jean Philippe Fragrances in partial satisfaction of the aforementioned loan.
In connection with the acquisitions by Inter Parfums of the world-wide rights under the Burberrys License Agreement and the Brosseau License Agreement, Jean Philippe guaranteed the obligations of Inter Parfums under the Burberrys License Agreement and the distribution agreement for Ombre Rose fragrances.
Jean Philippe and Elite have guaranteed the obligations of IP Holdings and Inter Parfums to Republic National Bank of New York (France).
Loans to Directors
In February 1996 the Company made a short term loan in the sum of $400,000 to Jean Madar, the Chairman of the Board, together with interest at the rate of five (5%) percent per annum, and the principal amount of such loan was repaid in two (2) weeks. Interest of $770 is paid in April 1996.
On August 20, 1996 the Company made a bridge loan in the amount of $175,000 to Russell Greenberg, the Chief Financial Officer and a Director, in connection with the sale of his residence and purchase of a new residence, with interest at the rate of four (4%) percent per annum. The sum of $145,000 was repaid four (4) days later. The balance of the loan is repayable $400 per month and prepayable out of the proceeds of any sale of shares of Common Stock of the Company by Mr. Greenberg.
Repurchase of Shares from Officers and Directors
In August 1995 Philippe Benacin, the President and a Director, exercised a nonqualified stock option to purchase 75,000 shares at $1.33 per share. In connection with the Company's stock repurchase program, the Company purchased such shares at $10.00 per share, which was below the market value at the time of the sale.
In April 1995 the Company, in connection with the Company's stock repurchase program, purchased from Joseph A. Caccamo, the principal of the general counsel to the Company and a Director, 1,005 shares at $8.625 per share, the fair market value at the time of such sale.
In September 1995 Mr. Caccamo exercised nonqualified stock options to purchase 5,000 shares at $7.75 per share and 4,000 shares at $7.6875. In connection with the Company's stock repurchase program, the Company purchased such shares at $10.25 per share and $10.1875 per share, respectively, which was below the fair market value at the time of such sales.
Remuneration of Counsel
Joseph A. Caccamo, a director of the Company, is the principal of Joseph A. Caccamo Attorney at Law, P.C., general counsel to the Company. Mr. Caccamo's firm was paid $107,223 in legal fees and for reimbursement of disbursements incurred on behalf of the Company during Fiscal 1995, and presently receives a monthly retainer of $7,250 together with reimbursement for expenses. In addition, his firm is of counsel to the law firm of Robson &
Miller, LLP, which received an aggregate of fees and disbursements equal to $34,570 during Fiscal 1995.
On February 1, 1996 in accordance with the terms of the 1994 Plan, Mr. Caccamo was granted an option with a term of five (5) years to purchase 4,000 shares at $8.0625 per share, the fair market value at the time of grant. In addition, Mr. Caccamo receives $500 for each board meeting at which he participates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors and Shareholders Jean Philippe Fragrances, Inc. New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jean Philippe Fragrances, Inc. and subsidiaries as at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Inter Parfums Holdings, S.A. and subsidiaries, consolidated subsidiaries of the Company, which statements include total assets, net sales and net income constituting 53%, 38% and 51% of the related consolidated totals for 1995 and 47%, 36% and 13% for 1994 and 30%, 28% and 28% for 1993. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts for Inter Parfums Holdings, S.A. and subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Jean Philippe Fragrances, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits referred to above included Schedule II for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. In our opinion, such schedule presents fairly the information set forth therein in accordance with the applicable accounting regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

JEAN PHILIPPE FRAGRANCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands except share and per share data)
(NOTE A) - The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies:
[1] Business of the Company:
The Company is a manufacturer and distributor of domestic and international brand name and licensed fragrances, alternative designer fragrances and mass market cosmetics.
[2] Basis of preparation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jean Philippe Fragrances, Inc. ("JPF") and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries (the "Company"). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
[3] Foreign currency translation:
For foreign subsidiaries that operate in a foreign currency, assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders' equity. In instances where the financial statements of foreign entities are remeasured into their functional currency (U.S. dollars), the remeasurement adjustment is recorded in operations.
[4] Cash equivalents:
All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
[5] Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
[6] Equipment and leasehold improvements:
Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method and the declining balance method over the estimated useful asset lives for equipment and the
shorter of the lease term or estimated useful asset lives for leasehold improvements.

(NOTE A) - The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies: (continued)
[7] Trademarks and licenses:
Trademarks are stated at cost and are amortized by the straight-line method over twenty years. The cost of licenses acquired is being amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the license, approximately seven to ten years.
The Company reviews trademarks and licenses for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
[8] Revenue recognition:
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. Allowances are established for estimated returns.
[9] Issuance of common stock of subsidiary:
The Company's share of the proceeds in excess of the carrying amount of the portion of the Company's investment sold is reflected as a gain in the consolidated income statement.
[10] Per share data:
Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each year. Common equivalent shares, which consist of unissued shares under options and warrants, are included in the computation when the results are dilutive.
(NOTE B) - Loss on Product Discontinuance:
As a result of disppointing sales of the Cutex lip color line, the Company decided to discontinue prodcution of the line in October 1995. As a result, the Company has taken a nonrecurring charge aggregating $2.2 million, before taxes, in the fourth quarter of 1995. This charge represents a writedown of current lip product inventory and the effect of potential customer returns or markdowns of lip products expected in 1996. The discontinued lip color line did not contribute to net sales in 1995 as customer returns exceeded new product shipments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands except share and per share data)
(NOTE B) - Loss on Product Discontinuance: (continued)
As a result of this issue, among others, relating to the Cutex product lines, the Company and the licensor have agreed to a reduction of the minimum royalties payable under the Cutex license. The Company believes that such relief, along with the discontinuance of the lip color line, will enable the Company to direct all Cutex marketing efforts and resources to building upon the core nail care business for which Cutex is famous.

(NOTE I) - Shareholders' Equity:
[1] Issuance of common stock of subsidiary:
In December 1993, Inter Parfums, S.A., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, sold 100,000 shares of its common stock at 70 French francs per share aggregating 7 million French francs or approximately $1.2 million. The shares were sold in a private placement transaction to unaffiliated French institutional investors.
In 1994, 10,000 shares were sold to enable the stock of Inter Parfums, S.A. to commence trading on the over-the-counter Paris Stock Exchange, and 11,536 shares were issued pursuant to the conversion terms of the Company's long-term debt.
In November 1995, Inter Parfums, S.A. completed a public offering of 308,000 shares of its common stock at 130 French francs per share. Net proceeds of such offering aggregated 36.5 million French francs or approximately $7.6 million. In connection with such offering, Inter Parfums Holdings, S.A. ("Holdings"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and direct parent of Inter Parfums, S.A. exercised its right to convert a portion of its convertible debt into 250,000 shares of capital stock of Inter Parfums, S.A. at 80 French francs per share. As a result of such issuances in 1995, the percentage ownership of Inter Parfums, S.A. was reduced from 90.64% to 76.72%.
The Company's share of the offering, sale or conversion proceeds in excess of the carrying amount of the portion of the Company's investment sold is reflected as a gain in the consolidated income statement. Deferred taxes have not been provided because application of available tax savings strategies would eliminate taxes on this transaction.
