HHGREGG, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
hhgregg, Inc. (the “Company” or “hhgregg”) is a specialty retailer of home appliances, televisions, computers, tablets, wireless devices, consumer electronics, home furniture, mattresses, fitness equipment and related services operating under the name hhgregg. As of September 30,December 31, 2013, the Company had 228 stores located in Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The Company operates in one reportable segment.
Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all necessary adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, for a fair presentation of such data. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of hhgregg and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 20, 2013.
The consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for a full year. The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the assets and liabilities and the reporting of sales and expenses to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of hhgregg and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gregg Appliances, Inc. (“Gregg Appliances”). Gregg Appliances has a wholly-owned subsidiary, HHG Distributing LLC (“HHG Distributing”), which has no assets or operations.
 
(2)Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable—trade, accounts receivable—other, accounts payable and customer deposits approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Any outstanding amount on the Company’s line of credit approximates fair value as the interest rate is market based.
Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company has property and equipment that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when impairment indicators are present.  The assets are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values exceed the fair values.  The categorization of the framework used to price the assets is considered a Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value. Property and equipment fair values were derived using a discounted cash flow model to estimate the present value of net cash flows that the asset or asset group was expected to generate. The key inputs to the discounted cash flow model generally included our forecasts of net cash generated from revenue, expenses and other significant cash outflows, such as certain capital expenditures, as well as an appropriate discount rate. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company entered into a lease modification to downsize a store. In conjunction with the downsize, the Company determined that certain of the assets in use would be abandoned at the time construction to downsize begins, and as a result determined this to be a triggering event for an impairment analysis to be performed in accordance with guidance on impairment of long-lived assets. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows generated by the store was less than its carrying amount, therefore the carrying amount of the assets related to this store were reduced to fair value. For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company had one store whose profit contributions were significantly lower than the chain average due to decreased sales. This decrease in profit triggered the need for an impairment analysis to be performed in accordance with guidance on impairment of long-lived assets. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows generated by the store was less than its carrying amount, therefore the carrying amount of the assets related to this store were reduced to fair value.

(4)Net Income (Loss) per Share
Net income (loss) per basic andshare is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. Net income per diluted share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of potential dilutive common shares. When the Company reports net income, the calculation of net income per diluted share excludes shares underlying outstanding stock options and restricted stock units with exercise prices that exceed the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period and certain options and restricted stock units with unrecognized compensation cost, as the effect would be antidilutive. Potential dilutive common shares are composed of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, the diluted loss per common share calculation represents the weighted average common shares outstanding with no additional dilutive shares as the Company incurred a net loss for the period.
The following table presents net income (loss) per basic and diluted share for the three and sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

ITEM 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A is presented in five sections:
Overview
Critical Accounting Polices
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Contractual Obligations
Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained herein and the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on May 20, 2013.
Overview
hhgregg, Inc. is a specialty retailer of home appliances, televisions, computers, tablets, wireless devices, consumer electronics, home furniture, mattresses, fitness equipment and related services operating under the name hhgregg. As of September 30,December 31, 2013, we operated 228 stores in Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. References to fiscal years in this report relate to the respective 12 month period ended March 31. Our 2014 fiscal year is the 12 month period ending on March 31, 2014.
Throughout our MD&A, we refer to comparable store sales. Comparable store sales is comprised of net sales at stores in operation for at least 14 full months, including remodeled and relocated stores, as well as net sales for our e-commerce site. The method of calculating comparable store sales varies across the retail industry, and our method of calculating comparable store sales may not be the same as other retailers’ methods.
This overview section is divided into four sub-sections discussing our operating strategy and performance, store development strategy, business strategy and core philosophies and seasonality.
Operating Strategy and Performance. We focus the majority of our floor space, advertising expense and distribution infrastructure on the marketing, delivery and installation of a wide selection of premium appliance and consumer electronics products. We display nearly 350 models of major appliances and 100 models of flat panel televisions in our stores with a broad assortment of models in the middle- to upper-end of product price ranges. Appliance and consumer electronics sales comprised 86%84% and 83% of our net sales mix for the three and six months ended September 30,December 31, 2013 and 88%2012, and 85% and 86% of our net sales mix for the three and sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2013 and 2012.
We strive to differentiate ourselves through our customer purchase experience starting with a highly-trained, consultative commissioned sales force which educates our customers on the features and benefits of our products, followed by rapid product delivery and installation, and ending with post-sales support services. We carefully monitor our competition to ensure that our prices are competitive in the market place. Our experience has been that informed customers often choose to buy a more heavily-featured product once they understand the applicability and benefits of its features. Heavily-featured products typically carry higher average selling prices and higher margins than less-featured, entry-level price point products.
InFor fiscal 2014 we have implemented three major initiatives in response to the declines in our overallcontinuing comparable store sales largely resulting from the performance of the consumer electronics category, we have developed three major initiatives for fiscal 2014,decline which are: to reshape our sales mix, expand our customer base and enhance our service offerings.
Our first initiative for fiscal 2014 is to reshape our sales mix through a continued increase in focus on the appliance category as well as the introduction of new product categories. Our sales in the appliance category have increased on a comparative basis over the past nine quarters.ten quarters, and this category has proven to be a centerpiece of our business. To maintain this growth, we plan to continue to placeare placing greater emphasis on appliancesour in home delivery capabilities for appliances. We also are enhancing our marketing strategiesin store cooking and continue to improve on our service offeringsbuilt-in displays, and providing a product assortment based upon geography and preferences within the appliance category. We will also focusgeography. The U.S. Census Bureau's data on increasing our average sales price throughNew Residential Construction shows that 2013 U.S. Housing Start-Up’s experienced a 12% increase for the promotion of kitchen packages. We also plan to increase our sales in this category throughquarterly period ended December 31, 2013 over the promotion of hhgregg rebate gift card incentives for customers to use on future purchases.prior year comparable period. We expect that as the U.S. housing market and general economy continues to improve, as indicated by June 2013 U.S. Housing Start-Up’s experiencing a 18% increase for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013 over the prior year comparable period, the appliance industry will experience increases in demand. Additionally, during fiscal 2013, we testedWhile this data indicates that the housing market has improved year over year, there is no guarantee that the improvement in the housing market will continue and launched new productswon't be impacted in the future by factors such as rising interest rates.

Additionally, during our previous fiscal year, we tested and launched new products and categories, including home entertainment furniture and home fitness products. Based on the success of testing an expanded furniture assortment, we rolled out an expanded offering of furniture products. Additionally, we expect to rolloutrolled out new mid-price product offerings of bedding and fitness equipment. The consumer electronics category will continue to be an important category for us.us, however, we will continue to place greater emphasis on other areas of our sales mix as we further develop new categories. As it relates to video our emphasis will be on providing a greater assortment of larger screen sizescomputing and rationalizing the SKU count for smaller screen sizes. Within the consumer electronicswireless category, we plan to improve our balance of gross profit and market share through positioning our new assortment strategy. We plan to provide an expanded offering of connected devices, and have fully rolled out the Apple iPad and iPod to all stores. We expect that with the continued innovations to connected devices, we will be ableutilize these products to generatedrive greater traffic to our stores. Our ultimate goal of reshaping our sales mix is to lift the average sales units of our stores.
Our second initiative for fiscal 2014 is to expand our customer base through increased credit offerings and by creating a new advertising campaign.offerings. Over the past 12 months, our non-recourse private label credit card penetration has increased 332230 basis points to 34%36% of transactions. We continue to encourage the use of the card, not only through in store payment options, but through offers such as our 5% discount on qualifying purchases.merchandise. In addition to our private label credit card, during the second fiscal quarter of 2014 we rolled out a “lease to own” option through a third party provider chain-wide.in all of our stores. This allows us to provide an alternative credit offering to customers who historically had been turned down for credit through our private label card. Additionally, during the third fiscal quarter we rolled out a seamless secondary finance offering for the lower-middle income consumer. We believe that enhancing our credit offerings will generate greater brand loyalty and higher average sales per transaction, resulting in an overall more profitable relationship with customers. Our credit offerings are non-recourse to us, consequently, we bear no risk for any potential delinquencies. To supplement our initiatives to expand our customer base we selected a new advertising agency which is now assisting us in delivering the marketing messages necessary to execute on our initiatives.
Our third initiative for fiscal 2014 is to enhance our service offerings, with particular emphasis on our website capabilities. By partnering with a third party,During fiscal 2014 we expecthave added the following features to more than doubleour website: an expanded aisle concept which tripled our product assortment online through an expanded aisle concept by carrying products online that are not available in stores. We also havestores; updated our mobile commerce site by allowing greater functionality, including transacting through the site. Additionally,site and intuitive navigation; omnichannel shopping experience improvements for our customers; and improved checkout and payment options including accepting hhgregg credit card applications on our website. In the year ahead, we planexpect to enhancecontinue to expand our online product assortment, integrate the in-store customeromnichannel shopping experience by implementingwith with the implementation of a new point of sale system, whichand to make social media enhancements. The new point of sale system that we plan to implement will not only have new digital capabilities, but expedite the check-out process to decrease the time to complete a sale. We also plan to continueintend to improve our customerdelivery service by raisingutilizing new devices that better communicate expected delivery timing with the standards of execution by our sales team members.consumer.
Store Development Strategy. Over the past several years, we have adhered closely to a development strategy of adding stores to metropolitan markets in clusters to achieve rapid market share penetration and more efficiently leverage our distribution network, advertising and regional management costs. Our long-term expansion plans include looking for new markets where we believe there is significant underlying demand for stores, typically in areas that have historically demonstrated above-average economic growth, strong household incomes and growth in new housing starts and/or remodeling activity. Our markets typically include most or all of our major competitors. We plan to continue to follow our approach of building store density in each major market and distribution area, which in the past has helped us to improve our market share and realize operating efficiencies.
Our near term expectations for the current fiscal year will be to significantly slow our store growth comparedcontinue to prior years and shift the balance of our focus to sales and profit productivity in our existing store base.base before we resume store growth and expansion plans. We plan to enhance our store productivity within our existing markets through growth in both new and existing businesses, increased focus on large deliverable home products, and growinggrowth of our competencies with our e-commerce platform.
In the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2013, we relocated threefour stores, and began construction for one store relocation in the third fiscal quarter, as well ason one new store opening inthat is planned to open during the fourthfirst fiscal quarter.quarter of 2015.
Business Strategy and Core Philosophies. Our business strategy is focused around offering our customers a superior purchase experience. From the time the customers walk in the door, they experience a well-designed, customer-friendly store. Our stores are brightly lit and have clearly distinguished departments that allow our customers to find what they are looking for. We greet and assist our customers with our highly-trained consultative sales force, who educate the customers about the different product features.
We believe our products are rich in features and innovation. We believe that customers find it helpful to have someone explain the features and benefits of a product as this assistance allows them the opportunity to buy the product that most closely matches their needs. We focus our product assortment on big box items requiring in-home delivery and installation in order to utilize our service offerings. We follow up on the customer purchase experience by offering next-day delivery on many of our products and in-home installation service.

1314


While we believe many of our product offerings are considered essential items by our customers, other products and certain features are viewed as discretionary purchases. As a result, our results of operations are susceptible to a challenging macro-economic environment. Factors such as changes in consumer confidence, unemployment, and consumer credit availability and the condition of the housing market have negatively impacted our core product categories and added volatility to our overall business. As consumers show a more cautious approach to purchases of discretionary items, customer traffic and spending patterns continue to be difficult to predict. By providing a knowledgeable consultative sales force, delivery capabilities, credit offerings and expanded product offerings, we believe we offer our customers a differentiated value proposition.
Retail appliance sales are correlated to the housing industry and housing turnover. As more people purchase existing homes in the market, appliance sales tend to trend upward. Conversely, when demand in the housing market declines, appliance sales are also negatively impacted. The appliance industry has benefited from increased innovation in energy efficient products. While these energy efficient products typically carry a higher average selling price than traditional products, they save the consumer significant dollars in annual energy savings. Average unit selling prices of major appliances are not expected to change dramatically in the foreseeable future.
According to the NPD Consumer Electronics Data for the three month period ended December 31, 2013, sales for the consumer electronics industry have decreased 8.5% from the comparable prior year period. The consumer electronics industry depends on new product innovations to drive sales and profitability. Innovative, heavily-featured products are typically introduced at relatively high price points. Over time, price points are reduced to drive consumption. Accordingly, there has been consistent price compression in flat panel televisions for equivalent screen sizes in recent years. As new technologyyears, which was further compressed during the current quarterly period ended December 31, 2013 as retailers provided increased promotional offerings for the holiday. According to the NPD TV Market Pulse reports for the three months ended December 31, 2013, flat-panel TV sales units were 1% less than the comparable prior year period, and the average selling price has not been sufficient to keep demand constant, thedecreased by approximately 4%. The industry has seen falling demand as new technology innovation has been insufficient, which has resulted in gross margin rate declines, and average selling price declines. Over the past few months, we have proactively shifted our focus towards larger screen sizes with higher profit margins, which has resulted in lower comparable store sales and lost market share in the consumer electronics category, as we offered fewer smaller screen size televisions. Other consumer electronics categories have also experienced significant demand pressure. Cameras, camcorders, mp3 players, and GPS devices have been largely replaced by the use of smart phones. As such, we continue to shift our product mix away from these categories and into the computing and wireless category. In future years, we will continue to evaluate our mix of product offerings in the consumer electronics category to maximize profit margins without significant loss of market share, while also featuring key opening price points to drive traffic.
The computing and wireless product category drives traffic into our stores. As a result, we plan to continue to enhancehave enhanced our offerings of such products. We have fully rolled out the offering of Apple iPod and Apple iPad products to all stores.
In addition to testing new products in existing categories, we have also expanded our product assortment within the home products category, which fit our core competencies, including home furniture and fitness equipment. We will continue to refine our assortment in this category as we learn more about their success in our stores.
We also rolled out additional credit offerings for our consumers. As over one-third of our sales today are transacted on the hhgregg private label credit card, we want to expand our consumer base to allow new consumers to shop in our stores. We added a “lease to own” program through a third party provider chain-wide, and added a secondary financing offer for the lower-middle income consumer. These programs are non-recourse to the Company through the use of third party solutions.
Seasonality. Our business is seasonal, with a higher portion of net sales and operating profit realized during the quarter that ends December 31 due to the overall demand for consumer electronics during the holiday shopping season. Appliance revenue is impacted by seasonal weather patterns, but is less seasonal than our consumer electronics business and helps to offset the seasonality of our overall business.

Net cash used in financing activities(27,075) (1,556)(38,833) (8,756)
Our liquidity requirements arise primarily from our need to fund working capital requirements and capital expenditures. We make capital expenditures principally to fund our expansion strategy, which includes, among other things, investments in new stores and new distribution facilities, remodeling and relocation of existing stores, as well as information technology and other infrastructure-related projects.
During fiscal 2014,, we plan to relocaterelocated four stores, of which three have been relocated as of September 30, 2013. We plan to openand began construction on one new store that is planned to open during the fourthfirst fiscal quarter.quarter of 2015. In addition, we plan to continue to invest in our infrastructure, including management information systems and distribution capabilities, as well as incur capital remodeling and improvement costs. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2014 will be funded through cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our Amended Facility described below and tenant allowances from landlords.
Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities primarily consists of net income as adjusted for increases or decreases in working capital and non-cash charges such as depreciation, deferred taxes and stock compensation expense. Cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $30.712.6 million and $(13.8)15.3 million for the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in cash used inprovided by operating activities is primarily due to a decrease in our net investmentincome, a decrease in accounts payable due to the timing of payments and overall lower inventory requirements as compared to the prior year, an increase in the percentage of owned merchandise inventories (merchandise inventories less accounts payable) andinventory despite the lower inventory levels previously mentioned, the net change in our other current operating assets and liabilities, and the decrease in cash received from landlords for tenant allowances due to opening lessfewer stores in the current period compared to the prior period, and the impact of the net change in our income tax receivable/payable due to the net income experienced in the current quarter compared to the net loss experienced in the previous comparable quarter.period. The net change in other current operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of differences in timing of customer sales and vendor payments.
Cash Used In Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $14.019.7 million and $35.450.3 million for the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is due to less purchases of property and equipment associated with the opening of new stores. In the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2013, we relocated threefour stores, and began construction for one store relocating in the third fiscal quarter, and began construction on one new store opening in the fourthfirst fiscal quarter.quarter of 2015. In the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2012, we opened 1520 new stores.
Cash Used In Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $27.138.8 million and $1.68.8 million for the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to a decrease in funds provided by bank overdrafts of $11.520.9 million, a decrease in net borrowings on an inventory financing facility of $8.8$14.4 million, an increase in funds used for treasury stock repurchases of $4.89.8 million, and funds used for payment of financing costs of $0.9 million, offset by an increase in borrowings under the Amended Facility described below of $15.0 million and an increase in funds provided by the exercise of stock options of $1.1$1.6 million.
Amended Facility. On July 29, 2013, Gregg Appliances, Inc. (“Gregg Appliances”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into Amendment No. 1 to its Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Facility”) to increase the

18


maximum credit available to $400 million from $300 million, subject to borrowing base availability, and extend the term of the facility to expire on July 29, 2018. The facility was set to expire on March 29, 2016.
Interest on borrowings (other than Eurodollar rate borrowings) is payable monthly at a fluctuating rate based on the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on the average quarterly excess availability. Interest on Eurodollar rate borrowings is payable on the last day of each “interest period” applicable to such borrowing or on the three month anniversary of the beginning of such “interest period” for interest periods greater than three months. The unused line rate was determined based on the amount of the daily average of the outstanding borrowings for the immediately preceding calendar quarter period (the “Daily Average”). For a Daily Average greater than or equal to 50% of the defined borrowing base, the unused line rate was 0.25%. For a Daily Average less than 50% of the defined borrowing base, the unused line rate was

0.375%. The Amended Facility is guaranteed by Gregg Appliances’ wholly-owned subsidiary, HHG Distributing, which has no assets or operations. The guarantee is full and unconditional and Gregg Appliances has no other subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the Amended Facility, the borrowing base is equal to the sum of (i) 90% of all commercial accounts, (ii) 90% of all commercial and credit card receivables of Gregg Appliances and (iii) 90% of the net recovery percentage of the eligible inventory multiplied by the value of such eligible inventory consistent with the most recent appraisal of such eligible inventory, in each case subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria.
Under the Amended Facility, Gregg Appliances is not required to comply with any financial maintenance covenant unless “excess availability” is less than the greater of (i) 10.0% of the lesser of (A) the defined borrowing base or (B) the defined maximum credit or (ii) $20.0 million during the continuance of which event Gregg Appliances is subject to compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.
Pursuant to the Amended Facility, if Gregg Appliances has “excess availability” of less than 12.5% of the lesser of (A) the defined borrowing base or (B) the defined maximum credit, it may, in certain circumstances more specifically described in the Amended Facility, become subject to cash dominion control.
The Amended Facility places limitations on the ability of Gregg Appliances to, among other things, incur debt, create other liens on its assets, make investments, sell assets, pay dividends, undertake transactions with affiliates, enter into merger transactions, enter into unrelated businesses, open collateral locations outside of the United States, or enter into consignment assignments or floor plan financing arrangements. The Amended Facility also contains various customary representations and warranties, financial and collateral reporting requirements and other affirmative and negative covenants. Gregg Appliances was in compliance with the restrictions and covenants of the Amended Facility at September 30,December 31, 2013.
As of September 30,December 31, 2013 and, Gregg Appliances had $15.0 million of cash borrowings outstanding under the Amended Facility. As of December 31, 2013, Gregg Appliances had $5.3 million of letters of credit outstanding, which expire through December 31, 2014. The total borrowing availability under the Amended Facility was $224.4 million as of December 31, 2013. The interest rate based on the bank’s prime rate as of December 31, 2013 was 3.75%.
As of March 31, 2013, Gregg Appliances had no borrowings outstanding under the Amended Facility. As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, Gregg Appliances had $4.9$4.9 million of letters of credit outstanding, which expire through December 31, 2013.2013. The total borrowing availability under the Amended Facility was $185.9 million and $189.8 million as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively.. The interest rate based on the bank’s prime rate as of September 30, 2013 was 4.0%, and as of March 31, 2013 was 4.25%.
Inventory Financing Facility. We have an inventory financing facility, which is a $20 million unsecured credit line that is non-interest bearing and is not collateralized with the inventory purchased. The facility includes customary covenants as well as customary events of default.
Long Term Liquidity. Anticipated cash flows from operations and funds available from our Amended Facility, together with cash on hand, should provide sufficient funds to finance our operations for the foreseeable future. Our cash on hand has decreased from $48.6 million as of March 31, 2013 to $2.6 million as of December 31, 2013, which is primarily a result of the timing of purchases of inventory and an increase in the level of owned inventory due to purchases for the holiday season. There have been no changes to the terms of our purchase agreements with inventory suppliers. As a normal part of our business, we consider opportunities to refinance our existing indebtedness, based on market conditions. Although we may refinance all or part of our existing indebtedness in the future, there can be no assurances that we will do so. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Additional debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations, additional covenants and operating restrictions. We also have an inventory financing facility. Our inventory financing facility is a $20 million unsecured credit line
that is non-interest bearing and is not collateralized with the inventory purchased. The facility includes customary covenants as
well as customary events of default.
Contractual Obligations

ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to certain market risks, including interest rate risk.
As of September 30,December 31, 2013, our debt was comprised of our Amended Facility.
Interest on borrowings under our Amended Facility is payable monthly at a fluctuating rate based on the bank’s prime, LIBOR, or Eurodollar rates plus an applicable margin based on the average quarterly excess availability. As of September 30,December 31, 2013, we had no$15.0 million in outstanding borrowings on our Amended Facility. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the bank's prime rate would decrease our annual pre-tax income by approximately $0.2 million.
ITEM 4.Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have established a Disclosure Committee, consisting of certain members of management, to assist in this evaluation. Our Disclosure Committee meets on a quarterly basis and more often if necessary.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act), as of September 30,December 31, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30,December 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30,December 31, 2013, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II.Other Information
ITEM 1.Legal Proceedings
We are engaged in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business and have certain unresolved claims pending. The ultimate liability, if any, for the aggregate amounts claimed cannot be determined at this time. However, management believes, based on the examination of these matters and experiences to date, that the ultimate liability, if any, in excess of amounts already provided for in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is not likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
ITEM 1A.Risk Factors
ThereExcept for the new risk factor below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 20, 2013. The risks disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K , and below are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
We could incur charges due to impairment of long-lived assets.
At December 31, 2013, we had long-lived asset balances of $204.2 million, which are subject to periodic testing for impairment. See Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. A significant amount of judgment is involved in the periodic testing. Failure to achieve sufficient levels of cash flow generated from operations at individual store locations could result in impairment charges for the related fixed assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our reported results of operations. Impairment charges, if any, resulting from the periodic testing are non-cash.
