For anyone that doubts that TRLG is undervalued at these levels, here are the highlights from the Q3 conference call

-non denim 15% of rev in Q3 vs. 12% in Q2
-30% of rev in Q3 from Japan
-176% growth in international rev from 2Q - 3Q /1500 doors in 2005 growing to 2000 in 2006
-entering 10 new countries in 2006 including China/
none of this revenue is in 2006 projections
-average selling price $85 in Q3 vs $81/$79 in Q2/Q1
they are seeing no pressure on margins
-Super T bottoms start to ship in Q4. They have very
high expectations for this new style-denin bottoms accounted for 85% of rev in Q4
-They expect the addition of new fleece line to do $10
million or more in 2006
-expect a denim/non-denim split of 75%/25% in 2006
-Opening first store in Manhattan Beach 12/05
-at least three stores planned in 2006 starting w/
NYC, Vegas and SF
-looking at several licensing deals w/top tier brands
in several categories
-expect less competition in 2006
-stated several times that their guidance is very
conservative/underpromise-overdeliver
-looking to outperform Q4 guidance
-backlog thru March/April 2006
-2006 rev projection 53% US/25% Japan/25% rest of
world
-expect 100% plus growth internationally in 2006
-introducing cashmere sweaters in 2006
-accrued all year end bonuses/other expenses in Q3
which should be positive for Q4 earnings.
-operating margins in Q3 would have been 40% without
accrued expenses
-10 million of cash on the balance sheet and no debt
-department store orders are increasing
-CEO says "We are at the starting line not the finish
line"

I believe the cc is still on thier web site. For what
it's worth, I think their 2006 guidance of $132 million in
revenue and $1.17 per share in earnings is
ridiculously low as it represents only about a 30%
increase from 2005. I am optimistically expecting to
see between 50% and 100% growth next year.
