`
`BODY:
`
`The new issues market is booming again, and USA Classic, Inc.-—maker of kids‘ apparel under the Nautica,
`B.U.M. Equipment and Everlast brands--has jumped into the game.
`
`The company hit the market in November, with an initial public offering of 2.7 million shares at $ 13 each.
`The deal, which came out above the originally estimated price range of$ 10 to $ 12 a share, brought the
`company it 35.1 million before expenses, with proceeds slated to go toward debt reduction.
`
`USA Classic holds the license to make Everiast brand boys‘ wear and Nautica and B.U.M. Equipment brand
`activewear, outerwear and sportswear for boys and girls. In addition, the company has recently acquired
`the license to make girls‘ activewear and sportswear under the Danskin Sport label.
`
`New categories for 1993 include girls‘ and boys‘ denim products under the B.U.M. license, and activewear
`for toddlers and young boys under the Everlast brand. Both categories will be introduced for the fall season.
`
`USA Classic turned a profit of $ 1 million, or 40 cents a share, in fiscal 1992, on sales of $ 55 million.
`
`USA Classic also makes apparel for adults under several of its licenses and through private labels.
`
`Everlast, Nautica and B.U.M. are the company's three biggest brands, accounting for about 74 percent of
`total business.
`
`Separately, USA Classic announced it has named Mitchell Shenkman to the post of president. Shenkman
`joined the company's sales staff in 1983 and was promoted to vice president of sales, in 1990.
`
`In his new position, Shenkman will be responsible for management and growth of USA C|assic's eight
`branded divisions. He reports to Milton Adams, chairman and chief executive officer.
`
`Other promotions include Eddie Miller to group director of B.U.M. Equipment Kids and Phillipe Monet men's
`outerwear; he previously was a division manager for B.U.M. Peter Tannenbaum was named national sales
`manager of Phillipe Monet; he was formerly regional sales manager of that unit.
`
`Elsewhere in manufacturing, The Gitano Group, Inc., reported a profit of $ 1.5 million on an operating basis
`for the third quarter, but after restructuring charges and interest costs the apparel maker had a net loss of

`
`

`
`ALl5\.:l—UlL
`
`$ 8.9 million.
`
`Gitano's operating profit for the quarter ended September 30 compares with a year-ago operating income
`of $ 10.1 million. The net loss for the period ended September 30 is after $ 775,000 in operational
`restructuring costs; $ 3.3 million in debt restructuring costs; and $ 6.5 million in interest. Gltano had a net
`profit of $ 3.8 million, or 24 cents a share, in the year—ago third quarter.
`
`Interest costs were nearly 31 percent higher this quarter than last. Sales for the quarter grew seven
`percent, to $ 236.1 million.
`
`For the nine months, Gltano lost at 97.8 million, after several special items, against year-ago earnings of $
`4.2 million, or 26 cents a share. Sales for the nine months rose 14.9 percent, to $ 680.3 million.

`It rocks, it rolls, it spews fog, it flashes neon lights. It's
`
`a Ford Ranger?
`
`"It's just a plain stock '93 Ford Ranger and they did a lot of things to it," model Michelle Moore said at the
`North American International Auto Show opening Saturday.
`
`The misty—blue Ford "Jukebox," modeled after a California-style low rider, has a chopped-off-top,
`wraparound windshield and hydraulic flatbed that dances to music pounding from a 2400-watt amplifier and
`eight speakers lmbedded in the back.
`
`"It's not a utility vehicle," the model deadpans.
`
`The Jukebox is one of numerous "concept cars" displayed by automakers this week and next to show the
`possible look of things to come. Whether they ever will hit the streets is always uncertain.
`
`But there's little doubt the vehicles and the interior of the cavernous Cobo Center in downtown Detroit
`inspire awe.
`
`Inside, spectators are greeted by a race track appearing to float in space, platforms spinning cars in colors
`never seen before, and leggy models seeming to melt into curvaceous cars.
`
`"I'm getting dizzy,“ one model said after another platform revolution.
`
`Wander over to the Chrysler Corp. exhibit and see its vision for the future, the Thunderbolt - a daunting

`and satellite navigation system that helps drivers avoid traffic, potholes and other hazards.
`
`Chevrolet has dubbed its concept car the "Impala SS," a name borrowed from an earlier era for its sporty
`version of the Caprice with a Corvette engine, a new grille and spoiler.
`
`"People want to know if we actually plan to produce and sell it," Chevy General Manager Jim Perkins said.
`"That wasn't the idea. All we were trying to do was tweak the interest of the automotive after market, but
`based on the reaction we're getting, I guess we ought to at least consider its potentiai."
`
`Porsche unveiled to reporters this week its sexy futuristic car, with styling elements taken from its popular
`speedster and roadster sports cars. The Porsche "Boxter" has a long front and a short rear overhang, a
`middle engine and a leg bolster that doubles as a hand brake lever.
`
`Jaunt over to the Lincoln-Mercury display, and find a concept minivan that combines the 1993 Villager body
`with interior fashioned by Nautlca sportswear company. The front lights reflect like chrome when viewed
`with the lights off, but function as traditional headlights when in use.
`
`And while the minivan is geared for function, a nearby 35 239,000 red Lamborghini Diablo is geared for
`display.
`
`"It's kind of hard to drive up to a 7-Eleven to get a newspaper in a Lamborghini," said Joseph Hannan Jr,
`Lamborghini's president and chief operating officer. "It's a pleasure car you take out on Sunday afternoon."
`
`At the ASC Inc. exhibit, a blue-green Nissan 300ZX appears with a metal hardtop that retracts into the
`trunk at the touch of a button. Another ASC design, a roomy Freightiiner cab with bunk beds and television,
`is also on display.
`
`"I think it's a great thing,“ ASC Chairman and CEO Heinz Prechter said getting out of the Nissan. "But I
`always think the greatest thing hasn't been invented yet."

`
`CAPRICE SPAWNS IMPALA
`
`Chevrolet showed those attending its press conference the 300-horsepower Impala SS, a concept based on
`the production Caprice LTZ. The Impala carries the LT1 Corvette engine, a four-speed automatic
`transmission and 17-inch wheels. It was lowered two inches, and has body-colored grille, a rear spoiler and
`a revised rear—quarter window design. The car, however, is not being displayed at the Chevrolet exhibit.
`
`HIGH-LINE VILLAGER EYED
`
`Lincoln-Mercury Division may add a more upscale model to its Mercury Villager minivan line, similar to what
`Ford Division has done with the Eddie Bauer edition of the Explorer.
`
`L-M, in collaboration with New York sportswear retailer Nautica International Inc., has designed a Nautica
`Villager concept vehicle that could be on the market within a year, said L-M General Manager Lee
`Mlskowski. Nautica features an open-panel grille; high-mounted side mirrors that incorporate turn-signal
`lights; and plush leather interior.
`
`T0 EASE THE WAIT
`
`Although the redesigned 1993 Jetta and Golf models have yet to roll into showrooms, Volkswagen United
`States is looking to the future by showing off its Jetta III GD( V-6, which is due to go on sale next fall as a
`1994.
`
`Standard equipment includes anti-lock brakes and dual airbags. All 1994 Vws will have dual airbags.
`
`LEXUS GS 300 DUE MARCH 1
`
`Lexus’ new GS300 will help the division top 100,000 sales in 1993, said General Manager J. Davis
`Illingworth.
`
`Lexus is counting on the new mid-luxury sedan, which goes on sale March 1, for about 25,000 sales
`annually. It will fill a price void created since the LS400 flagship has climbed from $ 35,000 In 1989 to $
`46,000 today.
`
`The GS300 has the same 220-horsepower, 24-valve 3.0-liter straight six that is used in the SC300 coupe.
`Prices have not been announced but will likely be in the upper $ 30,000 range.

`
`ISUZU, HONDA DISAGREE
`
`Top officials at American Isuzu Motors Inc. suggest there will be a Honda vehicle in their future, but
`counterparts at American Honda Motor Co. Inc. say there won't.
`
`John Reilly, American Isuzu chairman, said the details of the marriage between Isuzu and Honda are still
`being determined and could mean that U.S. Isuzu dealers will get a Honda vehicle -- "maybe a car."
`
`But Kolchi Amemiya, president of American Honda, said the agreement does not include a Honda product
`for U.S. Isuzu dealers.
`
`Honda will provide a version of its Domani subcompact to Isuzu in Japan, and Isuzu will sell its U.S.-built
`Rodeo sport-utility to Honda in the United States. Reilly also suggested that Honda might even share its
`planned minivan with Isuzu here.
`
`"I don't think so," Amemiya responded to that Idea. "We've not discussed those plans with Isuzu."
`
`CAMARO STARTS AT $ 13,999
`
`Prices for the redesigned Chevrolet Camaro have been set at $ 13,999 for V-6-equipped based car and $
`16,799 for the V-8-equipped 228 model.
`
`ENTRY-LEVEL PO RSCH E
`
`Porsche AG unveiled its Boxster concept car, and early vision of the “entry—level" Porsche, which will be
`introduced as a 1995 model.
`
`Wendeiin Wledeking, spokesman of the Porsche AG board of management, said Porsche will introduce a
`new car for 1995-96 priced below the 968, which is currently $ 39,950. He hinted it will be based on the
`Boxster concept car.
`
`AURORA NOT BADGED OLDS
`
`The all-new G-platform Aurora sedan, scheduled to arrive for the 1994 model year, will not carry
`Oldsmobile badging on the exterior of the car, said General Manager John Rock.
`
`The only Oldsmobile identification attached to the car will be on the radio, he said. The car with an
`Oldsmobile badge scored 25 to 32 percent worse than the unbadged car in consumer clinics conducted by
`the dIvislon,. The car will say Aurora on the back. The front will have an Aurora badge -- a fancy script "A"
`inside an oblong circle.
`
`SUBARU ‘S IMPREZA PLANS
`
`Subaru is depending on its first new subcompact car in eight years to boost sales almost 30 percent for the
`coming year, said Chuck Worrell, Subaru executive vice president.
`
`The 1993 Impreza sedan and sport wagon will be in dealerships in mid-February, with a two~door model on
`the way in spring 1994, Worrell said. Subaru wants to sell 50,000 Imprezas in 1993. An aggressive
`Imprezas ad campaign will begin during the Super Bowl.
`
`HONDA RACES AGAIN IN '94
`
`American Honda Motor Co. will enter PPG Indy Car World Series Racing next year through a new subsidiary
`in Valencia, Calif.

`
`Honda Performance Development Inc. will build a 2.7-liter V-8 to power the Indy cars.
`
`Earlier this year, Honda Motor Co. Ltd. dropped out of Formula One racing, citing high costs.
`
`CADILLAC FOR CLINTON
`
`Cadillac General Manager John Grettenberger announced that Cadillac will deliver three Fleetwood
`Brougham presidential limousines in 1993.
`
`One of the specially built vehicles has already been delivered.
`
`The cars feature a special chassis and powertrain designed and built by Cadillac in cooperation with General
`Motors‘ advanced engineering staff and Powertrain Division. Cadillac's design studio developed the vehicles‘
`interior and exterior design. Body structure and special armoring systems were also designed by Cadillac
`engineering.
`
`ASC GOES FISHIN‘
`
`ASC Inc. of Southgate, Mich., hoping for additional automaker business, displayed several concepts:
`
`* A Saturn convertible with a folding top that retracts into the rear-seat area, converting the car into a two
`seater without robbing trunk space.
`
`* A Nissan BDOZX with a folding hard top. A spokesman said the system is nearly ready for production.
`
`* A two-door Cadillac Seville.
`
`HYUNDAI HCD-II BOWS
`
`Hyundai Motor America unveiled its flashy HCD-II prototype sports coupe, saying its 504 dealers can expect
`a production vehicle priced below $ 15,000 in the 1997 model year.
`
`The front-wheel-drive HCD-II is powered by a 2.0-liter narrow-angle double-overhead-camshaft 16-valve
`four-cylinder engine. It has a lightweight aluminum alloy block that features ceramic impregnated cylinder
`bores.

`
`BODY:
`
`Pam Sacks‘ 2-year-old daughter Ashley needed a haircut. She also needed a pair of sneakers and
`underwear.
`
`For the haircut and shoe and clothing purchases, most mothers would drive to three destinations. But
`Sacks, who lives in Boca Raton, made one stop -- The Children's Collection.
`
`The Children's Collection on Powerline Road at Palms Plaza In Boca Raton is an upscale specialty retailer of
`brand name children's apparel, accessories and shoes for infants through preteens.
`
`The 10,000-square—foot store, one of five, is trying to distinguish itself for its concept of one-stop shopping.
`
`Never mind the expected racks and rows of accessories and clothes. The store also features a shoe
`department, a layette department, a gift wrap center, a baby registry, a children's hair salon and a play
`area with kid-size chairs, a Lego table, toys, and continuous showings of Disney videos.
`
`"Ashley likes to run all over when I take her into a store," Sacks said. "At the Children's Collection, the
`videos keep her busy, and I can actually feel relaxed when I shop there. I also like the salespeople there."
`
`The Boca Raton store, which opened in late July 1992, is the fifth In a private chain that was founded In
`1981 in Houston by a woman named Gay Roan, who was tired of the inconvenience of running all over
`town to provide her three children, ages 7-12, with shoes, haircuts and wardrobe.
`
`What Roan was seeing were 1,000—square-foot, mom-and-pop units that could not provide an assortment.
`She envisioned a store where every component of children's clothing would become part of one-stop
`shopping.
`
`Roan had no retail background, but she had a good idea and the capital to support it. She bought space
`that had formerly been used as a shoe store, and gradually bought up available space surrounding it until
`the original 4,000 square feet had mushroomed into 10,000 square feet.
`
`Roan hired the buyer for children's clothing at Foleys, a Houston department store. She hired Sherrie Rino,
`a former children's buyer for Josi<e's. As merchandise manager, Rino developed a departmental system for
`The Children's Collection.
`
`She tracked sales by department, did the merchandise planning by department and set up the store similar
