Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
The following information is furnished in satisfaction of Item
12 "Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" of Form 8-K and
is being presented under Item 9 "Regulation FD Disclosure" pursuant to the
interim guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission contained in its
Release no. 33-8216 and 34-47583.
On June 12, 2003 Candie's, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press
release announcing its results of operations for the fiscal quarter ended April
30, 2003. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
The press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures
for the periods presented with respect to comparable licensing income and a
qualitative reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management of the Company has
chosen to provide the non-GAAP information in the press release because it
believes that it provides a meaningful comparison of the Company's licensing
income for the periods presented. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitution for measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
