Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In May 2005, McRae Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) negotiated the terms of an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) providing for the purchase by the Company of certain assets from Texas Boot Inc. (“Texas Boot”) including its trademarks (including the marks Laredo, J. Chisolm, Code West and Performair), its outstanding accounts receivable and certain inventory. Texas Boot is and has been operating as a debtor-in-possession in a case under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with applicable bankruptcy court procedures, an auction for the assets was conducted on June 23, 2005. The Company won the auction by agreeing to increase the total purchase price payable under the Purchase Agreement to approximately $2.16 million. Of the total purchase price, $1,525,000 is allocable to the acquired trademarks, $519,807 is allocable to the acquired accounts receivable and $115,500 is allocable to the acquired inventory. On June 24, 2005, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee approved the Purchase Agreement as modified by the increased purchase price and the Purchase Agreement became effective. The transaction closed on June 28, 2005.
