See accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 3 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) Note 1 - Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended SeptemberDecember 28, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 28, 2009. The balance sheet information at June 29, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2008. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Comprehensive Income (Losses) For the three and six months ended SeptemberDecember 28, 2008 and SeptemberDecember 30, 2007, the Company's comprehensive net lossesincome (losses) were equal to the respective net lossesincome (losses) for each of the periods presented. Fair Value Measurements Effective June 30, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157") for certain financial assets and liabilities. This standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for indentically similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity's own assumptions or external inputs for inactive markets. The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of SeptemberDecember 30, 2008, the Company holds approximately $2.6$2.2 million of "level 1" cash equivalents that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities that are based on "level 2" or "level 3" inputs. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (Revised), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R") and SFAS 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements ("SFAS 160"). SFAS No. 141R and SFAS 160 revise the method of accounting for a number of aspects of business combinations and non-controlling interests, including acquisition costs, contingencies 4 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) (including contingent assets, contingent liabilities and contingent purchase price), the impacts of partial and step-acquisitions (including the valuation of net assets attributable to non-acquired minority interests), and post acquisition exit activities of acquired businesses. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 will be effective for the Company during the fiscal year beginning June 29, 2009. The Company cannot anticipate whether the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have a material impact on its results of operations and financial condition as the impact is solely dependent on the terms of any business combination entered into by the Company after June 29, 2009. 4 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) On April 25, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets." This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," or SFAS 142. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R and other generally accepted accounting principles. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this FSP will have on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Reclassifications Certain balances in the prior fiscal periods have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in the current fiscal year. Note 2 - Net Loss(Loss) Income Per Common Share Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and excludes the effect of dilutive potential common shares (consisting of employee stock options and unvested restricted stock awards) for the three and six months ended SeptemberDecember 28, 2008, and September 30, 2007, respectively, as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

On July 21, 2008, the Company acquired selected assets of Napco Marketing Corp. (Napco), a wholesale merchandiser and marketer of products designed primarily for the floral industry. The purchase price of approximately $10.9 million included the acquisition of a fulfillment center located in Jacksonville, FL, inventory, and certain other assets, as well as the assumption of certain related liabilities, including their seasonal line of credit of approximately $4.0 million. The acquisition was financed utilizing a combination of available cash generated from operations and through borrowings against the Company's revolving credit facility, which as described below, was subsequently amended by the Company's 2008 Credit Facility. The purchase price includes an up-front cash payment of $9.3 million, net of cash acquired, and potential "earn-out" incentives, which amount to a maximum of $1.6 million through the years ending July 2, 2012, upon achievement of specified performance targets. The Company is in the process of finalizing its allocation of the purchase price to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the acquisition of Napco. This will result in potential adjustments to the carrying value of Napco's recorded assets and liabilities, the establishment of certain additional intangible assets, revisions of useful lives of intangible assets, some of which will have indefinite lives not subject to amortization, and the determination of any residual amount that will be allocated to goodwill.liabilities. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price included in the current period balance sheet is based on the best estimates of management and is subject to revision based on final determination of asset fair values and useful lives.

9Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. The carrying value of the Company's goodwill was allocated to its reporting units pursuant to SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other indefinite lived intangibles are subject to an assessment for impairment, which must be performed annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill or other indefinite lived intangibles might be impaired. Goodwill impairment testing involves a two-step process. Step 1 compares the fair value of the 10 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) Company's reporting units to their carrying values. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is necessary. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Step 2 must be completed to quantify the amount of impairment. Step 2 calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, of the reporting unit, from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in Step 1. The implied fair value of goodwill determined in this step is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss, equal to the difference, is recognized. During the three months ended December 28, 2008, the Home and Children's Gift segment experienced significant declines in revenue and operating performance when compared to prior years and their strategic outlook. The Company believes that this weak performance was attributable to reduced consumer spending due to the overall weakness in the economy, and in particular, as a result of the continued decline in demand for home decor products. As a result of these factors, as well as the Company's plans to resize this category based on the expectation of continued weekness in the home decor retail sector and a significant reduction in the Company's market capitalization, upon completion of the impairment analysis described above, the goodwill related to this reporting unit was deemed to be fully impaired. Therefore, during the three months ended December 28, 2008, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $18.3 million, reducing the carrying value of goodwill to $105.4 million. Fair value was determined using an income based approach, whereby the Company estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflected the overall level of inherent risk of the reporting unit and the rate of return that an outside investor would expect to earn. The Company reconciled the value of its reporting units to its overall market capitalization to determine that its assumptions were consistent with that of an outside investor. The Company's other intangible assets consist of the following: SeptemberDecember 28, 2008 June 29, 2008 ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Gross Gross Amortization Carrying Accumulated Carrying Accumulated Period Amount Amortization Net Amount Amortization Net --------------------------- ------------- --------------- ----------- ----------- --------------- ------------ (in thousands) Intangible assets with determinable lives Investment in licenses 14 - 16 years $4,927 $4,489 $438$5,314 $4,607 $707 $4,927 $4,408 $519 Customer lists 3 - 10 years 25,570 6,808 18,76224,910 7,156 17,754 25,570 6,042 19,528 Other 5 - 8 years 2,488 767 1,721873 1,615 2,488 660 1,828 ------------ --------------- ----------- ----------- --------------- ------------ 32,985 12,064 20,92132,712 12,636 20,076 32,985 11,110 21,875 Trademarks with indefinite lives - 46,07244,542 - 46,07244,542 46,053 - 46,053 ------------ --------------- ----------- ----------- --------------- ------------ Total identifiable intangible assets $79,057 $12,064 $66,993$77,254 $12,636 $64,618 $79,038 $11,110 $67,928 ============ =============== =========== =========== =============== ============
Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. As part of the aforementioned impairment analysis performed for the Home and Children's Gift segment, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.8 million, related to the trade names and customer lists, which were determined to be impaired due to changes in the business environment and adverse economic conditions currently being experienced due to decreased consumer spending. Estimated future amortization expense is as follows: remainder of fiscal 2009 - $2.8$1.9 million, fiscal 2010 - $3.7$3.8 million, fiscal 2011 - $3.2$3.1 million, fiscal 2012 - $2.0, fiscal 2013-$2.02013 - $2.0 and thereafter - $7.2$7.3 million. 11 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) Note 7 - Long-Term Debt The Company's long-term debt and obligations under capital leases consist of the following: SeptemberDecember 28, June 29, 2008 2008 ---------------- ----------- (in thousands) Term loan $124,813$118,625 $68,000 Revolving line of credit 20,000- - Commercial note - 84 Obligations under capital leases 4744 52 ----------- ----------- 144,860118,669 68,136 Less current maturities of long-term debt and obligations under capital leases 44,79724,794 12,886 ----------- ----------- $100,063$93,875 $55,250 =========== ===========
In order to fund the increase in working capital requirements associated with DesignPac, and to provide for additional operational flexibility, on August 28, 2008, the Company entered into a $293.0 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a group of lenders (the "2008 Credit Facility"). The 2008 Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $293.0 million, including: (i) a $165.0 million revolving credit commitment, (ii) $60.0 million of new term loan debt, and (iii) $68.0 million of existing term loan debt associated with the Company's previous credit facility. Outstanding amounts under the 2008 Credit Facility will bear interest at the Company's option at either: (i) LIBOR plus a defined margin, or (ii) the agent bank's prime rate plus a margin. The applicable margins for the Company's existing term loan and revolving credit facility will range from 1.50% to 2.50% for LIBOR loans and 0.50% to 1.50% for base rate loans, and the Company's new term loan will range from 2.00% to 3.00% for LIBOR loans and 1.00% to 2.00% for base rate loans in each case with pricing based upon the Company's leverage ratio. At closing of the 2008 Credit Facility, the Company utilized the proceeds of the new term loan to pay down amounts outstanding under its previous revolving credit facility. The repayment terms of the existing term loan remain unchanged, while the new term loan is required to be repaid in equal quarterly installments of $3.0 million beginning in December 2008, with the final installment payment due on August 28, 2013. The 2008 Credit Facility contains various conditions to borrowing, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the 2008 Credit Facility are secured by liens on all personal property of the Company and its subsidiaries. 10 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) Note 8 - Income Taxes At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. This estimate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods. The Company's effective tax rate forDuring the three and six months ended SeptemberDecember 28, 2008, was 39.4%,the Company recorded income tax expense of $9.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively, compared to 39.5%$12.9 million and $9.2 million during the comparative three and six months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2007. The Company's effective tax rates for the three and six months ended December 28, 2008 were 216.9% and 137.7%, respectively, compared to 40.2% and 40.5% during the comparative three and six months ended December 30, 2007. The effective rates during the three and six months ended December 28, 2008 reflect the impact of non-deductible goodwill and other intangible impairment charges aggregating approximately $20 million. Excluding these charges, the effective rates during the three and six months ended December 28, 2008 would have been 39.4% and 39.3%, respectively. The adjusted effective rate forduring the three months ended SeptemberDecember 28, 2008, and Septemberthe effective rate during the three months ended December 30, 2007 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, partially offset by various tax credits. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48, on July 2, 2007. The Company did not have any significant unrecognized tax benefits12 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and there was no material effect on its financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48.Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The tax years that remain subject to examination are fiscal 2005 through fiscal 2008, with the exception of certain states where the statuestatute remains open from fiscal 2004, due to non-conformity with the federal statuestatute of limitations for assessment. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next twelve months. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the quarter. Note 9 - Business Segments The Company's management reviews the results of the Company's operations by the following four business categories: o 1-800-Flowers.com Consumer Floral; o BloomNet Wire Service; o Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets; and o Home and Children's Gifts.

(*) Corporate expenses consist of the Company's enterprise shared service cost centers, and include, among other items, Information Technology, Human Resources, Accounting and Finance, Legal, Executive and Customer Service Center functions, as well as Stock-Based Compensation. In order to leverage the Company's infrastructure, these functions are operated under a centralized management platform, providing support services throughout the organization. The costs of these functions, other than those of the Customer Service Center, which are allocated directly to the above categories based upon usage, are included within corporate expenses as they are not directly allocable to a specific category. (**) Performance is measured based on category contribution margin or category EBITDA, reflecting only the direct controllable revenue and operating expenses of the categories. As such, management's measure of profitability for these categories does not include the effect of corporate overhead, described above, nor does it include depreciation and amortization, goodwill and intangible impairment, other income (net), and income taxes. Management utilizes EBITDA as a performance measurement tool because it considers such information a meaningful supplemental measure of its performance and believes it is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of companies with comparable market capitalization. The Company also uses EBITDA as one of the factors used to determine the total amount of bonuses available to be awarded to executive officers and other employees. The Company's credit agreement uses EBITDA (with additional adjustments) to measure compliance with covenants such as the interest coverage ratio and consolidated leverage ratio. EBITDA is also used by the Company to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs; (b) EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company's debts; and (c) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when evaluating the Company's performance. 1416 Reconciliation of Net Loss(loss) Income to EBITDA: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended --------------------------- ------------------------------ SeptemberDecember 28, SeptemberDecember 30, December 28, December 30, 2008 2007 2008 2007 ------------- ------------ -------------- ----------------------------- (in thousands) Net loss(loss) income ($5,304)5,111) $19,256 ($5,790)10,415) $13,466 Add: Interest expense 1,159 1,5452,507 1,737 3,666 3,282 Depreciation and amortization 5,688 4,870 Less:5,797 4,967 11,485 9,837 Income tax benefit 3,449 3,780expense 9,482 12,942 6,033 9,162 Goodwill and intangible impairment 20,036 - 20,036 - Less: Interest income 96 17876 295 172 473 Other income 9expense (income) 18 12 27 30 ------------- -------------- ----------------------------- -------------- EBITDA ($2,011) ($3,351)$32,617 $38,595 $30,606 $35,244 ============= ============== ============================= ==============

The applicable margins for the Company's existing term loan and revolving credit facility will range from 1.50% to 2.50% for LIBOR loans and 0.50% to 1.50% for base rate loans, and the Company's new term loan will range from 2.00% to 3.00% for LIBOR loans and 1.00% to 2.00% for base rate loans in each case with pricing based upon the Company's leverage ratio. At closing of the 2008 Credit Facility, the Company utilized the proceeds of the new term loan to pay down amounts outstanding under its previous revolving credit facility. The repayment terms of the existing term loan remain unchanged, while the new term loan is required to be repaid in equal quarterly installments of $3.0 million beginning in December 2008, with the final installment payment due on August 28, 2013. 22 At SeptemberDecember 28, 2008, the Company had borrowed $20 millionno outstanding amounts under its revolving credit facility to fund working capital requirements related to pre-holiday manufacturing and inventory purchases. The Company anticipates that such borrowings will peak during its fiscal second quarter, before being repaid prior to the end of that quarter.facility. On January 21, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an increase to its stock repurchase plan which, when added to the funds remaining on its earlier authorization, increased the amount available for repurchase to $15.0 million. Any such purchases could be made from time to time in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions, subject to general market conditions. The repurchase program will be financed utilizing available cash. As of SeptemberDecember 28, 2008, $14.0$13.6 million remains authorized but unused. 19 At SeptemberDecember 28, 2008, the Company's contractual obligations consist of: Payments due by period ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) Less than 1 1 - 3 3 - 51-2 More than 5 Total year years 3 - 5 years years ----------- --------------- ------------ ------------- ---------------- Long-term debt, including interest 168,912 50,899 63,367 54,646$129,330 $28,167 $65,239 $35,924 $- Capital lease obligations 55 13 25 1745 6 21 18 - Operating lease obligations 68,029 9,533 19,185 15,434 23,87774,656 13,249 22,897 18,970 19,540 Sublease obligations 8,007 2,037 3,4047,293 1,340 3,387 1,625 941 Marketing Agreement 12,638 2,63812,489 2,489 10,000 Purchase commitments (*) 46,016 46,01620,958 20,958 - - - ----------- --------------- ------------ --------------------------- ---------------- Total $303,657 $111,136 $95,981 $71,722 $24,818$244,771 $66,209 $101,544 $56,537 $20,481 =========== =============== ============ =========================== ================
(*) Purchase commitments consist primarily of inventory, equipment purchase orders and online marketing agreements made in the ordinary course of business. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial position and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory and long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets related to acquisitions. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition Net revenues are generated by E-commerce operations from the Company's online and telephonic sales channels as well as other operations (retail/wholesale) and primarily consist of the selling price of merchandise, service or outbound shipping charges, less discounts, returns and credits. Net revenues are recognized upon product shipment. Shipping terms are FOB shipping point. Net revenues generated by the Company's BloomNet Wire Service operations include membership fees as well as other products and service offerings to florists. Membership fees are recognized monthly in the period earned, and products sales are recognized upon product shipment with shipping terms of FOB shipping point. Accounts Receivable The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers or franchisees to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company's customers or franchisees were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. 23 Inventory The Company states inventory at the lower of cost or market. In assessing the realization of inventories, we are required to make judgments as to future demand requirements and compare that with inventory levels. It is possible that changes in consumer demand could cause a reduction in the net realizable value of inventory. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is evaluated annually for impairment. The cost of intangible assets with determinable lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, on a straight-line basis, over the estimated periods benefited, ranging from 3 to 16 years. 20 The Company performs an annual impairment test as of the first day of its fiscal fourth quarter, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist, to evaluate goodwill. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill, the Company reviews both quantitative as well as qualitative factors to support its assumptions with regard to fair value. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and other assumptions, including revenue growth and operating margins, discount rates and future market conditions, among others. Judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based on market conditions and operational performance of the Company. Future events could cause the Company to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill and other intangible assets associated with our acquired businesses is impaired. Capitalized Software The carrying value of capitalized software, both purchased and internally developed, is periodically reviewed for potential impairment indicators. Future events could cause the Company to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that capitalized software is impaired. Stock-based Compensation SFAS No. 123R requires the measurement of stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The Company determines the fair value of stock options issued by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model considers a range of assumptions related to volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company's stock price. The dividend yield is based on historical experience and future expectations. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Black-Scholes model also incorporates expected forfeiture rates, based on historical behavior. Determining these assumptions areis subjective and complex, and therefore, a change in the assumptions utilized could impact the calculation of the fair value of the Company's stock options. Income Taxes The Company has established deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the income tax bases of its assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such assets or liabilities are realized or settled. The Company has recognized as a deferred tax asset the tax benefits associated with losses related to operations, which are expected to result in a future tax benefit. Realization of this deferred tax asset assumes that we will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income so that these assets will be realized. The factors that we consider in assessing the likelihood of realization include the forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. It is the Company's policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management's assessment of whether a tax benefit is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. To the extent that the Company prevails in matters for which a liability for an unrecognized tax benefit is established or is required to pay amounts in excess of the liability, the Company's effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be affected. 24 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (Revised), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R") and SFAS 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial StatementsStatements" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS No. 141R and SFAS 160 revise the method of accounting for a number of aspects of business combinations and non-controlling interests, including acquisition costs, contingencies (including contingent assets, contingent liabilities and contingent purchase price), the impacts of partial and step-acquisitions (including the valuation of net assets attributable to non-acquired minority interests), and post acquisition exit activities of acquired businesses. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 will be effective for the Company during the fiscal year beginning June 29, 2009. The Company cannot anticipate whether the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have a material impact on its results of operations and financial condition as the impact is solely dependent on the terms of any business combination entered into by the Company after June 29, 2009. On April 25, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets." This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," or SFAS 142. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R and other generally accepted accounting principles. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this FSP will have on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. 21 Forward LookingForward-Looking Information and Factors that May Affect Future Results Our disclosure and analysis in this report contain forward-looking information about the Company's financial results and estimates and business prospects that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They use words such as "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "target," "forecast" and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance, new products and product categories, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: o the Company's ability: o to achieve revenue and profitability; o to reduce costs and enhance its profit margins; o to manage the increased seasonality of its business; o to effectively integrate and grow acquired companies; o to cost effectively acquire and retain customers; o to compete against existing and new competitors; o to manage expenses associated with sales and marketing and necessary general and administrative and technology investments; o to cost efficiently manage inventories; and o leverage its operating infrastructure; o general consumer sentiment and economic conditions that may affect levels of discretionary customer purchases of the Company's products; and o competition from existing and potential new competitors. 25 We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2008 listed various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historic results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers can find them in Part I, Item 1A, of that filing under the heading "Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995". We incorporate that section of that Form 10-K in this filing and investors should refer to it. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. 26 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates primarily from its investment of available cash balances in money market funds and investment grade corporate and U.S. government securities, as well as from outstanding debt. As of SeptemberDecember 28, 2008, the Company's outstanding debt, including current maturities, approximated $144.9$118.7 million, of which $144.8$118.6 million was variable rate debt. Each 25 basis point change in interest rates would have a corresponding effect on our interest expense of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three months and six months ended SeptemberDecember 28, 2008.2008, respectively. Under its current policies, the Company does not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. 22 ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic reports filed with the SEC. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the three months ended SeptemberDecember 28, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. 2327 PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS. The Risk Factor presented below should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2008. The financial and credit markets have been and continue to experience unprecedented disruption, which may have an adverse effect on our customer'scustomers' spending patterns and in turn our business, financial condition and results of operations. Consumer spending patterns are difficult to predict and are sensitive to the general economic climate, the consumer's level of disposable income, consumer debt, and overall consumer confidence. The ongoing global financial crisis affecting the banking system and financial markets has resulted in a low level of consumer confidence. In recent weeks,During our first and second fiscal quarters of 2009, the volatility and disruption in the financial markets have reached unprecedented levels. This financial crisis couldhas impacted and may continue to impact our business in a number of ways. Included among these current and potential future negative impacts are reduced demand and lower prices for our products and services. Declines in consumer spending couldhas, during our second fiscal quarter of 2009, and may continue to reduce our revenues, gross margins and earnings. We are currently operating in challenging macroeconomic conditions which have continued into the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2009 and we believe may continue during the remainder of fiscal 2009.2009 and into fiscal 2010.
