To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders of Rocky Brands, Inc.:
We have
audited the consolidated financial statements of Rocky Brands, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and for the years
ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, and the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, and have issued our reports thereon
dated March 2, 2010; the consolidated financial statements and reports are
included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Our audits also included the
consolidated financial statement schedule of the Company listed in the
accompanying index at Item 15. This consolidated financial statement
schedule is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion based on our audits. In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statement schedule as of and for the years
ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.
