Shoe Pavilion, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the records of Shoe Pavilion, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company"or "Shoe Pavilion, Inc.") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006 (the "2006 Annual Report") as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included in the interim report. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The financial data at December 30, 2006 presented herein is derived from the 2006 Annual Report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
2. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model of how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized if it is "more likely than not" that the position is sustainable, based upon its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that has greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.
In connection with the Company's adoption of FIN 48, the Company recorded a net decrease in retained earnings and recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $210,000. The liability relates to various tax accounting methods for accrued liabilities. Future changes in the unrecognized tax benefit will have no impact on the effective tax rate. The Company estimates that the unrecognized tax benefit will not change significantly within the next twelve months. The Company classifies income tax penalties as part of selling, general and administrative expense and interest as part of interest expense. Penalties and interest accrued upon adoption of FIN 48 are immaterial. The following table summarizes the open tax years for each major jurisdiction:
Jurisdiction
| | Open Tax Years
|
Federal | | 2003 - 2006 |
California | | 2002 - 2006 |
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") commenced an examination of the Company's U.S. income tax returns for the 2004 tax year that is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2008. The Company does not believe the audit will result in any material impact on its financial position.
3. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding for
6
the period. The following table summarizes the incremental shares from these potentially dilutive securities, calculated using the treasury stock method.
| | Thirteen weeks ended
|
| | March 31, | | April 1, |

| | 2006

Effect of dilutive securities-stock options | | -
| | 234
|

| | 7,801
|
An aggregate of 886,857 options and warrants for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2007, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
4. Stock Option Plans
The Company has two share-based compensation plans: the Amended and Restated 1998 Equity Incentive Plan and the Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan.
A summary of the Company's stock option activity during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2007 is presented in the following table:

Exercisable and vested at March 31, 2007 | | 286,676 | | $ 4.26 | | 5.64 | | $ 546 |
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before applicable income taxes and represents the amount optionees would have received if all options had been exercised on the last business day of the period indicated, based on the Company's average stock price for that day. As of March 31, 2007, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested stock options was approximately $913,800, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.8 years. During the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2007, the intrinsic value of options exercised was $14,900.
A summary of the status of the Company's nonvested options as of December 31, 2006 and changes during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2007, is presented below:

5. Legal Proceedings
As discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006, the Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its normal business activities. Management does not believe that any of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition or results of operations, either due to the nature of the claims, or because management believes that such claims would not exceed the limits of the Company's insurance coverage.
6. Off-Balance Sheet Financing
The Company has obtained documentary and standby letters of credit from Wells Fargo Retail. These letters of credit are used to guarantee payments to various third parties. The total of these letters of credit was $804,000 at March 31, 2007. When the Company receives the related goods or services, the Company records the liability. When the liability is paid, the related letters of credit are cancelled.
7. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statement
Subsequent to the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2006, the Company determined that accounts payable incurred in connection with property
8
and equipment expenditures represented a non-cash investing activity that should not have been reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows until payment of the liabilities had been made. Additionally, the Company determined that the change in other assets should be classified as an operating activity as opposed to an investing activity. Accordingly, the Company restated the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2006 to reflect these reclassifications which is consistent with how the Company reflected these in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006. The restatement had no effect on previously issued condensed consolidated balance sheets or condensed consolidated statements of operations. Following is a summary of the corrections:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The accompanying Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations gives effect to the restatement of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to trends in, or representing management's beliefs about, the Company's future strategies, operations and financial results, as well as other statements including words such as "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "predict," "intend," "plan," "project," "will," "could," "may," "might" or any variations of such words or other words with similar meanings. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management's current expectations and beliefs concerning trends and future developments and their potential effects on the Company. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made and may not prove to be accurate. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's historical experience and its present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, competitive pressures in the footwear industry, changes in the level of consumer spending on or preferences in footwear merchandise, economic and other factors affecting retail market conditions, the Company's ability to purchase attractive name brand merchandise at reasonable discounts, the availability of desirable store locations as well as management's ability to negotiate acceptable lease terms and maintain supplier and business relationships and open new stores in a timely manner. Other risks and uncertainties include those described in this Report, in Part II, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006, and those described from time to time in its future reports filed with the SEC.
The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and related notes thereto provided under "Item 1 - Financial Statements" above.
Overview
Shoe Pavilion is an independent off-price footwear retailer with locations in the Western and Southwestern United States. As of March 31, 2007, it operated 109 stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and New Mexico. The Company was among the first footwear retailers on the West Coast to expand the off-price concept into the branded footwear market. The Company offers a broad selection of quality designer label and branded footwear, typically at 20% to 60% below regular department store prices, in a convenient self-service store format.
The Company is positioned in the market between discount stores and department stores. Unlike discount stores, it offers designer label and branded footwear that, in its opinion, has long-term customer appeal. As a result, the Company appeals to quality, style and designer label-oriented customers with relatively higher spending power. Unlike department stores, the Company's prices are designed to appeal to value-oriented consumers seeking quality branded footwear typically found at department stores or branded retail outlets at higher everyday prices.
The Company's stores are strategically located in strip malls, outlet centers, large format retail centers and downtown locations, frequently in close proximity to other off-price apparel retailers that attract similar customers. On average, over 20,000 pairs of shoes representing over 100 brands are displayed on the selling floor of most of its stores, compared to a significantly smaller product offering at typical department stores. Mature stores are evaluated for remodeling based on each store's age and competitive situation, as well as how much the landlord will contribute toward the required improvements. Future store remodeling plans will depend upon several factors, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, competition trends and the availability of adequate capital.
10
The Company's growth strategy had historically focused on the Western United States, but now includes opening new stores throughout the Southwestern United States as suitable locations are found. Future store openings are subject to availability of satisfactory store locations based on local competitive conditions, site availability and cost and quality brand merchandising at competitive prices. Over the last several years, the Company has focused on closing its smaller stores and replacing them with larger stores in more attractive locations. The average square footage of these new stores has been and is expected to continue to be approximately 18,000 to 20,000 square feet. As a result, the Company expects the average size of its stores to increase for the foreseeable future. The expansion into new markets and states as well as the transition to larger format stores may take a longer period for those stores to achieve results in line with the Company's expectations.
The Company plans to open 16 to 18 new stores and close 5 to 7 stores in fiscal 2007. The Company anticipates achieving net sales of $155.5 million to $160.5 million and incurring a net loss of $2.0 million to $2.5 million in fiscal 2007. The Company's comparable store sales is expected to increase 3% to 4% in fiscal 2007.
The Company plans to continue to focus on strengthening its position as an independent off-price branded footwear retailer by pursuing the three primary strategies for growth in sales and profitability. The three strategies are: expansion and improvement of store base, leverage operating model and enhance merchandising.

Net Sales. Net sales for the thirteen week period ended March 31, 2007 increased by 32.9%, or $9.0 million, to $36.2 million from $27.3 million in the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2006. The increase in net sales was due to the addition of 25 new stores and a comparable store sales increase of 7.8%. Comparable store sales are based upon stores open at least 13 consecutive months.
Gross Profit. Cost of sales includes landed merchandise and occupancy expenses. Gross profit for the thirteen week period ended March 31, 2007 increased by 12.6%, or $1.2 million, to $10.4 million from $9.3 million in the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2006, primarily as a result of increased sales. As a percent of sales, gross profit decreased to 28.8% for the thirteen week period ended March 31, 2007 from 34.0% in the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2006, due to higher occupancy expenses of 3.4%, primarily related to new stores, and a reduction in selling margin, related to increased markdowns on winter merchandise.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.Selling, general and administrative expenses for the thirteen week period ended March 31, 2007 increased by 37.9%, or $3.3 million, to $12.1 million from $8.7 million in the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2006. The increase is primarily from increases of $980,000 in store salaries, $680,000 in advertising, $250,000 in freight expenses, $220,000 in utilities, $220,000 in warehouse fees, $110,000 in payroll

taxes, $110,000 in general insurance, $100,000 in workers' compensation expenses, $90,000 in miscellaneous expenses, $80,000 in store supplies, $80,000 in credit card fees and $70,000 in computer support fees. As a percent of sales, SG&A expenses increased to 33.3% for the thirteen week period ended March 31, 2007 from 32.1% in the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2006. The increase as a percent of sales is primarily due to increases of 0.8% in advertising, 0.4% in warehouse fees and 0.3% in freight expenses, partially offset by savings of 0.3% in corporate salaries.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the thirteen week period ended March 31, 2007 increased by 156.4%, or $280,000, to $459,000 from $179,000 in the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2006, due to a higher average interest rate and increased borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility during the thirteen week period ended March 31, 2007 compared to the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2006.
Income Tax Benefit. The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 41.6% for the thirteen week period ended March 31, 2007 from 40.6% for the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2006, primarily as a result of varying state tax rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary capital requirements are for inventory and store expansion, relocation and remodeling. In March 2006, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of its common stock in a public offering at $7.20 per share and received $12.8 million in net proceeds from the offering. Historically, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility have met the Company's liquidity needs. Management believes that these sources will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
During the thirteen week period ended March 31, 2007, the Company opened one store in Nevada. Additionally, the Company introduced new brands and key product lines such as men's and women's casual and active shoes, as well as men's and women's sandals. To open the store, build up inventories to support future store openings and supplement existing footwear offerings, including seasonal styles, required an increase in overall inventory of $12.2 million.
The activities described above resulted in a net use of cash in operating activities of $1.5 million for the thirteen week period ended March 31, 2007, compared to $2.6 million for the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2006. Furthermore, the additional purchase of fixed assets, primarily for capital expenditures, resulted in cash used in investing activities of $1.7 million for the thirteen week period ended March 31, 2007, compared to $2.6 million for the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2006.
The Company maintains a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC ("Lender") that provides for borrowings of up to $30.0 million, which may be increased at the Company's option up to a maximum of $50.0 million. The revolving credit facility expires in April 2011. At March 31, 2007, the Company had in excess of $4.9 million available under its revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of its revolving credit facility. The Company believes its credit line with the Lender is sufficient to fund capital expenditures for the foreseeable future and to meet seasonal fluctuations in cash flow requirements. However, unexpected conditions could require the Company to request additional borrowing capacity from the Lender or alter its expansion plans or operations.
Seasonality and Quarterly Results
The Company's business, measured in terms of net sales, is subject to seasonal fluctuations and trends. Historically, a higher amount of the Company's net sales were, and may continue to be realized during the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year, which includes the winter holiday season. In addition, quarterly results are affected by the timing of the opening of new stores, and the Company's rapid growth may conceal the impact of other seasonal influences. Because of the seasonality of the Company's business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions about future events which affect the results of the Company's operations and the reported value of assets and liabilities. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results may differ from the Company's estimates.
The Company believes that its application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. The Company constantly reevaluates these accounting policies and estimates, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change. Historically, the Company has found its application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and its actual results have not differed materially from those determined by using necessary estimates. The Company believes that the following summarizes critical accounting policies which require significant estimates and assumptions in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue at the time the products are received by the customers in accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" as amended by SAB No. 104, "Revenue Recognition". Revenue is recognized for store sales at the point at which the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the register with either cash or credit card.
Discounts offered to customers consist primarily of point of sale markdowns and are recorded at the time of the related sale as a reduction of revenue. Gift certificates sold are carried as a liability when sold and revenue is recognized when the gift certificate is redeemed or when the likelihood of redemption becomes remote. Similarly, customers may receive a store credit in exchange for returned goods. Store credits are carried as a liability until redeemed or when the likelihood of redemption becomes remote.
Inventory Valuation. Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. The Company adjusts inventory based on historical experience and current information in order to assure that inventory is recorded properly at the lower of average cost or market. The factors the Company considers include current sell through, seasonality and length of time held in inventory. The amount ultimately realized from the sale of the Company's inventories could differ materially from its estimates.
Long-lived Assets.The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Management evaluates the carrying value of assets associated with stores which have been open at least 13 consecutive months. The Company records an impairment charge to write down the assets to their estimated fair value if the carrying values of such assets exceed their related expected undiscounted future cash flows. The impairment charge, if any, is recorded in general and administrative expenses. Management's estimates and assumptions used in the projections are subject to a high degree of judgment and if actual results differ, additional losses may be recorded.
Self-insurance.The Company records an estimated liability for the self-insured portion of the workers' compensation claims based on historical experience and an evaluation of outstanding claims.
Cost of Sales.Cost of sales includes product costs, inbound freight, inventory shrinkage and store occupancy costs. It does not include purchasing, warehousing, distribution costs and inter-store freight transportation, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company's gross margin may not be comparable to other retailers as some of these entities include purchasing, warehousing, distribution and inter-store freight transportation expenses in cost of sales.
Income Taxes.The Company provides a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some or a portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. Based upon the Company's history of earnings, it believes that the realization of its deferred tax asset is more likely than not and therefore the Company has not provided a valuation allowance for its deferred tax asset.
