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

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.

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.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income
per common share:

Note 3 - Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan, which is more fully
described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in the
Company's 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, that provides for the grant to
eligible employees, consultants and directors of stock options, share
appreciation rights (SARs), restricted shares, restricted share units,
performance shares, performance units, dividend equivalents, and other
stock-based awards.

During Fiscal 2007, the Company implemented a long-term incentive equity award
plan ("LTIP"), which provides for the grant of performance based shares, earned
based upon actual three-year cumulative performance, as defined, measured
against pre-established targets. During the three month period ended December
28, 2008, the Company reversed all non-vested RSA'S previously accrued under its
LTIP program, amounting to $1.8 million, as minimum performance targets are not
expected to be achieved.

Acquisition of Napco Marketing Corp.
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.

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.
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 DesignPac. This will result in potential adjustments to the

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.

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

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.

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

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.

(*) 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.

During the three months ended SeptemberDecember 28, 2008, although consistent as a
percentage of net revenue, technology and development expense decreased by 4.6%
as a result of the Company's cost saving initiatives, which included labor and
consulting costs reductions, as well as contract re-negotiations of
maintenance/license agreements. During the six months ended December 28, 2008,
although consistent as a percentage of net revenues, technology and development
expense increased 8.3%by 1.7% in comparison to the prior year period, as a result
of increased labor cost
necessary to support the Company's technology platform, as well as incremental technology and integration costs associated with the
acquisitions of DesignPac and Napco.
During the three and six months ended SeptemberDecember 28, 2008, the Company expended
$11.6$9.6 million and $21 million on technology and development, of which $5.9$4.4
million and $10.3 million has been capitalized.
The Company believes that continued investment in technology and development is
critical to attaining its strategic objectives, and as such,a result of the Company's
revised revenue expectations for the remainder of the year, the Company expects
that its spending for the remainder of fiscal 2009 will be consistent, as a percentage of net
revenues, with the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 16.7% and 16.8% during the

as a result of capital additions for technology platform improvements and the
incremental amortization related to the intangibles established as a result of
the acquisition of DesignPac in April 2008.
The Company believes that continued investment in its infrastructure, primarily
in the areas of technology and development, including the improvement of the
technology platforms, are critical to attaining its strategic objectives.
AsAlthough the Company has begun reducing its capital expenditure plan for the
remainder of fiscal 2009, as a result of these improvements,the Company's revised revenue
expectations and the increase in amortization expense associated with
intangibles established as a result of recent acquisitions, the Company expects
that depreciation and amortization for the remainder of fiscal 2009 will
increase slightly as a percentage of net revenues in comparison to the prior
year.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles Impairment
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company assessed the recent
performance of its Home & Children's Gift category businesses and its plan to
resize this category based on the expectation of continued weakness in the home
decor retail sector. The Plow & Hearth, Wind & Weather, HearthSong and Magic
Cabin brands experienced lower revenue growth than anticipated with
deteriorating operating margins. This shortfall was primarily attributable to
decreased consumer spending as a result of the challenging economic environment.
As a result of this analysis, impairment charges related to goodwill and other
intangibles totaling $20.0 million were recorded. (Refer to Note 6 for further
details).

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
21
Company's 2006 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.

Income Taxes
During the three and six months ended SeptemberDecember 28, 2008, and September 30, 2007, the Company recorded
an income tax benefitexpense of $3.4$9.5 million and $3.8$6.0 million, respectively.respectively, compared to
$12.9 million and $9.2 million during the three and six months ended December
30, 2007. The Company's effective tax rates for the three and six months ended
SeptemberDecember 28, 2008 were 216.9% and 137.7%, respectively, compared to 40.2% and
40.5% during the comparative periods of the prior year. 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 of $20.0
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 rates during the three and six months ended December 28,
2008 and SeptemberDecember 30, 2007, was 39.4% and 39.5%, respectively.
These effective rates differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%
primarily due to state income taxes, partially offset by various tax credits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At SeptemberDecember 28, 2008, the Company had working capital of $65.3$72.2 million,
including cash and equivalents of $3.5$51.1 million, compared to working capital of
$33.4 million, including cash and equivalents of $12.1 million, at June 29,
2008.
Net cash used inprovided by operating activities of $67.1$13.6 million for the threesix months
ended SeptemberDecember 28, 2008 was primarily attributable to the Company's net lossincome, adjusted for
non-cash charges related to goodwill and other intangible charges (approximately
$20.0 million), and depreciation and amortization, as well as seasonal changes
in working capital including increases in inventory (due
primarily to the recently acquired DesignPac business), receivables and
prepaids, consisting primarily of prepaid catalog production costs, offset in
part by higher accounts payablespayable and accrued expenses
associated with inventory purchases related to the aforementionedprevious and upcoming holiday
periods, and increases in receivables due to the timing of customer payments
related to DesignPac's wholesale business, as well as increases in inventory purchases.due
to acquired businesses, and timing of purchases for the upcoming holidays.
Net cash used in investing activities of $16.3$22.8 million for the threesix months ended
SeptemberDecember 28, 2008 was primarily attributable to capital expenditures, primarily related to
the Company's technology and distribution infrastructure, and the acquisition of
Napco in July 2008. The purchase price of approximately $10.9 million, 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.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $74.8$48.1 million for the threesix months

In order to fund the increase in working capital requirements associated with
DesignPac, and to provide operating 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
