Hunting clothes seller Rocky Shoes & Boots Inc announced it has been notified that an order to fulfill a third-party contract for combat boots for the US Military has been terminated by the US government for convenience.
Termination for convenience is the government's unilateral right to cancel a contract without cause.
On October 17, 2005, the Company announced it had received a contract to produce approximately $30.0 million of 'Hot Weather' boots for the US Military.
The Company's contract was with a third party, Atlantic Diving Supply, Virginia Beach, Virginia (ADS), which had the prime contract to supply the combat boots to the US military under a General Services Administration schedule contract.
Shipment of the boots began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 with an estimated completion date of December 2006.
The Company is currently exploring the exact financial consequences of the government's termination of the contract for convenience and the recovery of costs incurred in the performance of the contract prior to termination.
Rocky Shoes & Boots Inc designs, manufactures and markets premium quality outdoor, work, duty and western footwear, as well as branded apparel and accessories.
The Company's footwear, apparel and accessories are marketed through several distribution channels, primarily under owned brands, ROCKY, GATES, GEORGIA BOOT, LEHIGH, DURANGO, and the licensed brand, DICKIES.
