NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the quarterly period ended August 4, 2007
(unaudited, all amounts in thousands except share and per share amounts unless otherwise indicated)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a leading specialty retailer of everyday casual apparel, footwear and accessories designed to meet the needs of active teens and young adults. The Company operates three nationwide, primarily mall-based chains of retail stores, under the names “Pacific Sunwear” (as well as “PacSun”), “Pacific Sunwear Outlet” (as well as “PacSun Outlet”), and “demo.” Pacific Sunwear and Pacific Sunwear Outlet stores specialize in board-sport inspired casual apparel, footwear and related accessories catering to teens and young adults. demo specializes in fashion-focused street wear, including casual apparel, footwear and related accessories catering to teens and young adults. The Company also operates a specialty footwear concept, One Thousand Steps, which currently has nine stores.

In addition, the Company operates two e-commerce websites (www.pacsun.com andwww.demostores.com) which sell PacSun and demo merchandise online, respectively, provide content and a community for its target customers, and provide information about the Company. The Company also operates a third website (www.onethousandsteps.com) that provides store location and product information for One Thousand Steps.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rules 5-02 and 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Pacific Sunwear Stores Corp. and Miraloma Corp.). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring entries necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the first half ended August 4, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 2, 2008 (“fiscal 2007”). For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2007 (“fiscal 2006”).
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies is contained in Note 1, “Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2006. Presented below in this and the following notes is supplemental information that should be read in conjunction with “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in that report.
New Accounting Pronouncements – The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” effective February 4, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This pronouncement prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
6
process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. For a discussion of the financial statement impacts resulting from the adoption of FIN 48, please see Note 11, “Income Taxes.”
The Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-03 (“EITF 06-03”), “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (that is, Gross versus Net Presentation),” effective February 4, 2007. The EITF reached a consensus that the presentation of taxes on either a gross or net basis is an accounting policy decision that requires disclosure. Sales taxes collected from the Company’s customers are and have been recorded on a net basis. The adoption of EITF 06-03 did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This new standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS 157 also expands financial statement disclosure requirements about a company’s use of fair value measurements, including the effect of such measures on earnings. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. While the Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 157, the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” (“SFAS 159”), which permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Marketable Securities – At August 4, 2007, marketable securities consisted of auction rate securities of $16 million, classified as available for sale.
4. CLOSURE OF UNDERPERFORMING DEMO STORES
On February 2, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company approved management’s recommendation to close 74 underperforming demo stores (hereafter, referred to as the “demo closures”). The Company began inventory liquidation sales in the demo closures on March 4, 2007. Fourteen of these stores closed during the quarter ended May 5, 2007 (first quarter) and the remaining 60 stores closed during the quarter ended August 4, 2007 (second quarter).
The operational results reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the second quarter and first half ended August 4, 2007 include the operations of the demo closures. A condensed summary of the operational results of the demo closures since the commencement of the inventory liquidation sales on March 4, 2007 and through the end of the Company’s first half of fiscal 2007 ended August 4, 2007 is provided below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 1st | | 2nd | | 1st |
Fiscal 2007 | | Quarter | | Quarter | | Half |
Net sales | | $ | 11,269 | | | $ | 2,072 | | | $ | 13,341 | |
Gross margin, including occupancy | | | (339 | ) | | | (14,912 | ) | | | (15,251 | ) |
Selling, general & administrative expenses | | | 2,902 | | | | 1,413 | | | | 4,315 | |
Pre-tax operating loss | | | (3,241 | ) | | | (16,325 | ) | | | (19,566 | ) |
7
The operational results in the condensed summaries above include only those expenses directly associated with the operations of the demo closures, including all related lease termination, agency fee and severance expenses. These results do not include any allocation of corporate expenses associated with demo merchandising or other corporate functions. Gross margin, including occupancy, for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 includes approximately $13 million in total lease termination and other occupancy charges associated with the demo closures. As of August 4, 2007, the Company had approximately $7 million in accrued liabilities for estimated remaining lease terminations yet to be finalized. Actual charges could be significantly higher than the Company’s estimates. Any additional charges will be recognized at the time any of the remaining lease termination negotiations are finalized and/or when new information causes the Company to revise its estimates. See “Litigation” within Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies.”
For comparability purposes, a condensed summary of the operational results of the demo closures by quarter for fiscal 2006 is provided below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 1st | | 2nd | | 3rd | | 4th |
Fiscal 2006 | | Quarter | | Quarter | | Quarter | | Quarter |
Net sales | | $ | 12,538 | | | $ | 9,324 | | | $ | 12,452 | | | $ | 16,545 | |
Gross margin, including occupancy | | | 2,507 | | | | (365 | ) | | | 2,377 | | | | 2,582 | |
Selling, general & administrative expenses | | | 3,618 | | | | 3,662 | | | | 3,878 | | | | 26,683 | |
Pre-tax operating loss | | | (1,111 | ) | | | (4,027 | ) | | | (1,501 | ) | | | (24,101 | ) |
The operational results of the demo closures for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 include the $22 million store asset impairment charge taken by the Company at that time.
5. ONE THOUSAND STEPS ASSET IMPAIRMENT
As part of its quarterly financial closing process, the Company reviewed the operating performance and projections of future performance of its nine One Thousand Steps stores. As a result of that review, the Company determined that each of these stores would not be able to generate sufficient cash flow over the life of the related leases to recover the Company’s initial investment in property and equipment for these stores. As a result, the Company recorded store asset impairment charges of approximately $10 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 related to its One Thousand Steps store concept. These charges are included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007. In the event the Company were to determine in the future to exit this business, or close any or all of these stores, it may be required to record additional inventory impairment and/or lease termination charges at that time.
6. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates exclusively in the retail apparel industry in which the Company distributes, designs and produces clothing, accessories, footwear and related products catering to the teenage/young adult demographic through primarily mall-based retail stores. The Company has identified four operating segments (PacSun, PacSun Outlet, demo, and One Thousand Steps) as defined by SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” E-commerce operations for PacSun and demo are included in their respective operating segments. The four operating segments have been aggregated into three reportable segments (PacSun, demo and One Thousand Steps). Information for the first half of

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates and reduce the compensation expense to be recognized. The expected terms of options granted are derived from historical data on employee exercises. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. Expected volatility is based primarily on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company records stock-based compensation expense using the graded vesting method over the vesting period, which is generally three to four years. The Company’s stock-based awards generally begin vesting one year after the grant date and, for stock options, expire in seven to ten years or three months after termination of employment with the Company. For the first half of each of fiscal 2007 and 2006, the fair value of the Company’s stock-based compensation awards, which includes stock options,

non-vested shares, share appreciation rights and shares purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), was determined using the following weighted average assumptions:

11. INCOME TAXES
Effective February 4, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company recorded additional income tax liabilities of $1.8 million, additional deferred income tax assets of $1.2 million, and a charge against retained earnings of $0.6 million representing the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle. As of February 4, 2007, unrecognized income tax benefits totaled approximately $2.4 million. Of that amount, approximately $1.2 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would, if recognized, favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future periods. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next twelve months.
Estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes are included in income tax expense and totaled less than $0.1 million for the first half of fiscal 2007. Accrued interest and penalties was approximately $0.7 million at both August 4, 2007 and February 4, 2007.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and multiple other state and local jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years prior to 2004 and, with few exceptions, is no longer subject to state and local examinations for years before 2002.
12. INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BOND TRANSACTION – OLATHE, KANSAS
On July 17, 2007, Pacific Sunwear Stores Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed an industrial revenue bond financing transaction with the city of Olathe, Kansas (the “City”), that will provide property tax savings for 10 years on the Company’s new distribution center located in the City. In the transaction, the City purchased the land and building from the Company through the issuance to the Company of approximately $23.3 million in industrial revenue bonds due January 1, 2018 (“Bonds”) and contemporaneously leased the land and building to the Company for an identical term. The Company can
12
call the Bonds at any time it chooses, but would lose its property tax benefit in the event this transaction was to be canceled. In the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, the land and building remain a component of property and equipment, the investment in the Bonds is included in other assets, and the related long-term lease is included in other long-term liabilities.
The Company, as holder of the Bonds, is due interest at 7% per annum with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1. This interest income is directly offset by the interest-only lease payments on the distribution center, which are due at the same time and in the same amount as the interest income. Both the Bonds and the corresponding lease have 10-year terms. If, at any time, the Company chooses to call the Bonds, the proceeds from the Bonds would be required to immediately terminate the lease. The Company’s intention is to maintain the property tax benefit related to the Olathe facility. Accordingly, both the Bonds and the lease are classified as long-term due to the Company’s intent to hold the Bonds until maturity and the structure of the lease, which includes a balloon principal payment and bargain purchase requirement at the end of the lease term.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation – The Company is involved from time to time in litigation incidental to its business. In connection with the Company’s recent closure of 74 demo stores, landlords have, in some instances, threatened or initiated actions alleging breach of the underlying store leases and seeking to recover remaining lease payments for the duration of the underlying leases. The Company is undertaking to reach agreements with landlords of the 74 closed stores to address its underlying lease obligations. As of August 4, 2007, lease terminations have been executed covering half of the 74 total demo closures. The Company has accrued estimated lease termination obligations related to the remaining stores and has included that amount in accrued liabilities (see Note 4). Actual lease termination charges could be significantly higher than the Company’s estimates. Any additional charges will be recognized at the time any of the remaining lease termination negotiations are finalized and/or when new information causes the Company to revise its estimates. The Company believes that the outcome of current and threatened litigation, including litigation relating to the demo closures, will not likely have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.
Letters of Credit – The Company has issued guarantees in the form of commercial letters of credit, of which there were approximately $25 million outstanding at August 4, 2007, as security for merchandise shipments from overseas. All in-transit merchandise covered by letters of credit is accrued for in accounts payable.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS
The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. We are hereby providing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements of the Company herein. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, future events or performance (often, but not always identifiable by the use of words or phrases such as “will result,” “expects to,” “will continue,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “intends,” “estimated,” “projects” and “outlook”) are not historical facts and may be forward-looking and, accordingly, such statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements in this report include, but are not limited to, the following categories of expectations about:
| • | | forecasts of future store closures, including planned fiscal 2007 closures |
|
| • | | estimates of remaining lease termination charges associated with the recent closure of 74 demo stores |
|
| • | | the sufficiency of working capital and operating cash flows to meet our operating and capital expenditure requirements without borrowing significantly under our credit facility |
|
| • | | the outcome of litigation matters |
|
| • | | expectations regarding future increases in CAM expenses |
All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after such statements are made.
Executive Overview
We consider the following items to be key performance indicators in evaluating Company performance:
Comparable (or “same store”) sales– Stores are deemed comparable stores on the first day of the month following the one-year anniversary of their opening or expansion/relocation. We consider same store sales to be an important indicator of current Company performance. Same store sales results are important in achieving operating leverage of certain expenses such as store payroll, store occupancy, depreciation, general and administrative expenses, and other costs that are generally fixed. Positive same store sales results generate greater operating leverage of expenses while negative same store sales results negatively impact operating leverage. Same store sales results also have a direct impact on our total net sales, cash, and working capital.
Net merchandise margins– We analyze the components of net merchandise margins, specifically initial markup and markdowns as a percentage of net sales. Any inability to obtain acceptable levels of initial markups or any significant increase in our use of markdowns could have an adverse impact on our gross margin results and results of operations.
Operating margin– We view operating margin as a key indicator of our success. The key drivers of operating margins are comparable store net sales, net merchandise margins, and our ability to control operating expenses. During the first half of fiscal 2007, the Company incurred total estimated lease termination and agency fee charges of approximately $17 million associated with the 74 demo closures,
14
approximately $7 million of which remains in accrued liabilities for lease terminations not yet finalized. Actual lease termination charges could differ materially from our estimates and could adversely affect results of operations for the remainder of fiscal 2007. For a discussion of the changes in the components comprising operating margins during the first half of fiscal 2007 and 2006, see “Results of Operations” in this section.
Store sales trends– We evaluate store sales trends in assessing the operational performance of our store expansion strategies. Important store sales trends include average net sales per store and average net sales per square foot. Average net sales per store (in millions) for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $1.24, $1.31 and $1.29, respectively, and average net sales per square foot were $346, $371 and $374, respectively.
Cash flow and liquidity (working capital)– We evaluate cash flow from operations, liquidity and working capital to determine our short-term operational financing needs. Cash flows from operations for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 (in millions) were $162, $184 and $143, respectively. We expect that our cash flows from operations and working capital will be sufficient to finance operations without significant borrowing under our credit facility during fiscal 2007. In the event we were to determine in the future to close any additional demo stores or any or all of our One Thousand Steps stores, however, we could be required to draw on our credit facility in order to pay expenses associated with such closures.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America necessarily requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating reported financial results include the following:
Recognition of Revenue– Sales are recognized upon purchase by customers at our retail store locations or upon delivery to and acceptance by the customer for orders placed through our websites. We accrue for estimated sales returns by customers based on historical sales return results. Actual return rates have historically been within our expectations and the reserves established. However, in the event that the actual rate of sales returns by customers increases significantly, our operational results could be adversely affected. We record the sale of gift cards as a current liability and recognize a sale when a customer redeems a gift card. The amount of the gift card liability is determined taking into account our estimate of the portion of gift cards that will not be redeemed or recovered (“gift card breakage”). Gift card breakage is recognized as revenue after 24 months, at which time the likelihood of redemption is considered remote based on our historical redemption data.
Valuation of Inventories– Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market utilizing the retail method. At any given time, inventories include items that have been marked down to management’s best estimate of their fair market value. We base the decision to mark down merchandise primarily upon its current rate of sale and the age of the item, among other factors. To the extent that our estimates differ from actual results, additional markdowns may have to be recorded, which could reduce our gross margins and operating results.
Determination of Stock-Based Compensation Expense– Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” we recognize stock-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and only recognize compensation cost for those shares expected to vest using the graded vesting method over the requisite service period of the award.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based compensation awards and stock price volatility. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine compensation expense. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
15
Store Operating Lease Accounting– Rent expense from store operating leases represents one of the largest expenses incurred in operating our stores. We account for store rent expense in accordance with SFAS 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and FASB Technical Bulletin 85-3, “Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled Rent Increases.” Accordingly, rent expense under our store operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the original term of each store’s lease, inclusive of rent holiday periods during store construction and excluding any lease renewal options. We expense pre-opening rent in accordance with FASB Staff Position 13-1, “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period.” The Company accounts for landlord allowances received in connection with store operating leases in accordance with SFAS 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and FASB Technical Bulletin 88-1, “Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases.” Accordingly, all amounts received from landlords to fund tenant improvements are recorded as a deferred lease incentive liability, which is then amortized as a credit to rent expense over the related store’s lease term.
Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets– In the normal course of business, we acquire tangible and intangible assets. We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment, and other intangible assets) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from an asset or asset group are less than its carrying amount. The amount of impairment loss recognized is equal to the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the asset, with such estimated fair values determined using the best information available, generally the discounted future cash flows of the assets using a rate that approximates the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating earnings. We use our best judgment based on the most current facts and circumstances surrounding our business when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments, and the fair value of a potentially impaired asset. Changes in assumptions used could have a significant impact on our assessment of recoverability. Numerous factors, including changes in our business, industry segment, and the global economy, could significantly impact our decision to retain, dispose of, or idle certain of our long-lived assets.
The estimation of future cash flows from operating activities requires significant estimates of factors that include future sales growth and gross margin performance. If our sales growth, gross margin performance or other estimated operating results are not achieved at or above our forecasted level, the carrying value of certain of our retail stores may prove unrecoverable and we may incur additional impairment charges in the future.
Evaluation of Insurance Reserves– We are responsible for workers’ compensation and medical insurance claims up to a specified aggregate stop loss amount. We maintain reserves for estimated claims, both reported and incurred but not reported, based on historical claims experience and other estimated assumptions. Actual claims activity has historically been within our expectations and the reserves established. To the extent claims experience or our estimates change, additional charges may be recorded in the future up to the aggregate stop loss amount for each policy year.
Evaluation of Income Taxes– Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current reporting period. The combined federal and state income tax expense is calculated using estimated effective annual tax rates. A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the expected future consequences of temporary differences in the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning in assessing the value of our deferred tax assets. Evaluating the value of these assets is necessarily based on our judgment. If we determine that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of these assets will not be realized, we will reduce the value of these assets to their expected realizable value through a valuation allowance, thereby decreasing net income. If we subsequently determine that the carrying value of these assets, which had been written down, would be realized in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets would be increased, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made.
16
Evaluation of Litigation Matters– We are involved from time to time in litigation incidental to our business. We believe that the outcome of current litigation will not likely have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition and, from time to time, may make provisions for probable litigation losses. Depending on the actual outcome of pending litigation, charges in excess of any provisions could be recorded in the future, which may have an adverse effect on our operating results.

Net Sales
Net sales increased to $344 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $314 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, an increase of $30 million, or 10%. The components of this $30 million increase in net sales are as follows:
| | | | |
$millions | | Attributable to |
$ | 19 | | | Net sales from stores opened in fiscal 2006 not yet included in the comparable store base |
| | | | |
| 16 | | | Other non-comparable sales (net sales from expanded or relocated stores not yet included in the comparable store base and internet net sales) |

| | | | |
| (11 | ) | | 87 closed stores in fiscal 2007 and 6 closed stores in fiscal 2006 |
| | | | |
$ | 30 | | | Total |
Of the 1.8% increase in comparable store net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, PacSun and PacSun Outlet comparable store net sales increased a combined 3.0% and demo comparable store net sales decreased (10.7)%. In percentage terms, total transactions were up mid-single digits while the average unit retail and average number of units per sale transaction in a comparable store were both down low single digits. The decrease in average unit retail was primarily driven by weakness in the footwear business, which experienced a comparable store decrease in the mid-twenties for sneakers. Sneakers carry higher average unit retail prices than our non-sneaker footwear categories.
Within PacSun and PacSun Outlet, comparable store net sales of girls’ and guys’ merchandise increased 6.7% and 0.3%, respectively. Girls’ comparable store net sales results were characterized by strength in tank tops, dresses and shorts, partially offset by weakness in tees and sneakers. Guys’ comparable store net sales results were characterized by strength in tees and shorts, offset by weakness in accessories and sneakers. Accessory comparable sales were down for guys primarily due to our exiting certain prior year classifications such as wallets, belt buckles and body jewelry.
Within demo, comparable store net sales of girls’ and guys’ merchandise decreased (9.9)% and (11.5)%, respectively. Girls’ comparable store net sales results were characterized by weakness in accessories and denim. Guys’ comparable store net sales results were primarily characterized by weakness in tees, wovens and denim.
Gross Margin
Gross margin, after buying, distribution and occupancy costs, decreased to $91 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $97 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, a decrease of $6 million, or 6%. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin was 26.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to 31.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The 4.7% decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the following:
| | | | |
% | | Attributable to |
| (3.8 | ) | | Lease termination and other occupancy costs associated with the Company’s closure of 74 underperforming demo stores ($13 million). |
| | | | |
| (0.9 | ) | | Decrease in merchandise margins as a percentage of net sales, primarily due to an increased markdown rate. |
| | | | |
| (0.2 | ) | | Increase in buying costs as a percentage of net sales, primarily due to planned increases in our merchandise design and planning departments. |
| | | | |
| (0.2 | ) | | Increase in distribution costs as a percentage of net sales, primarily due to the opening of our new distribution facility in Olathe, Kansas. |
| | | | |
| (0.1 | ) | | Increase in all other costs of goods sold as a percentage of net sales. |

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $110 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, up from $83 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, an increase of $27 million, or 33%. These expenses increased to 31.8% as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from 26.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The components of this 5.4% net increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were as follows:
| | | | |
% | | Attributable to |
| 3.5 | | | Asset impairment and write-off charges of $12 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, primarily due to $10 million in store asset impairment charges attributable to the Company’s One Thousand Steps store concept (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). |
| | | | |
| 1.6 | | | Increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales to 7.3% ($25 million) for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from 5.7% ($18 million) for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. In absolute dollars, these expenses were up primarily due to planned headcount increases in the Company’s home office and within its field management team, strategic consulting expenses and previously disclosed compensation arrangements for the Company’s CEO and former COO. |
| | | | |
| 0.3 | | | Store payroll expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.3% ($46 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to 13.0% ($41 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. In absolute dollars, these expenses were up primarily due to minimum wage increases in many states across the country and an increased emphasis on the quality of our in-store merchandise presentation. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses were up due to deleveraging them against the low single digit same-store sales increase in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. |
| | | | |
| 5.4 | | | Total |
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $0.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Interest income was lower in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 due to the Company having lower average cash and short-term investment balances compared to the prior year.
Income Tax Benefit/Expense
The Company had a net income tax benefit of approximately $8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to income tax expense of $6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 due to the net loss sustained by the Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The effective income tax rate was 41.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to 38.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to lower projected net income for fiscal 2007 and the previously disclosed compensation arrangements for the Company’s CEO, a portion of which is not deductible for tax purposes. Our weighted average effective state income tax rate will vary over time depending on a number of factors, such as differing average income tax rates and net incomes in the respective states.

Net Sales
Net sales increased to $665 million for the first half of fiscal 2007 from $614 million for the first half of fiscal 2006, an increase of $51 million, or 8%. The components of this $51 million increase in net sales are as follows:

In percentage terms, total transactions were up mid-single digits while the average unit retail and average number of units per sale transaction in a comparable store were both down low single digits. The decrease in average unit retail was primarily driven by the footwear business, which experienced a comparable store decrease in the mid-twenties for sneakers. Sneakers carry higher average unit retail prices than our non-sneaker footwear categories.
Within PacSun and PacSun Outlet, comparable store net sales of girls’ merchandise increased 7.2% while guys’ merchandise decreased (2.1)%. Girls’ comparable store net sales results were characterized by strength in tank tops, dresses, shorts and fashion footwear, partially offset by weakness in tees and sneakers. Guys’ comparable store net sales results were characterized by strength in tees, fashion footwear and shorts, but were more than offset by weakness in accessories, sneakers and wovens. Accessory comps were down for guys primarily due to our exiting certain prior year classifications such as wallets, belt buckles and body jewelry.
Within demo, comparable store net sales of girls’ and guys’ merchandise decreased (9.6)% and (13.5)%, respectively. Girls’ comparable store net sales results were characterized by weakness in accessories, denim and tees.

Gross Margin
Gross margin, after buying, distribution and occupancy costs, decreased to $174 million for the first half of fiscal 2007 from $195 million for the first half of fiscal 2006, a decrease of $21 million, or 11%. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin was 26.2% for the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to 31.7% for the first half of fiscal 2006. The 5.5% decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the following:
| | | | |

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $202 million for the first half of fiscal 2007 from $163 million for the first half of fiscal 2006, an increase of $39 million, or 24%. These expenses increased to 30.3% as a percentage of net sales in the first half of fiscal 2007 from 26.5% in the first half of fiscal 2006. The components of this 3.8% net increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were as follows:
| | | | |
% | | Attributable to |
| 1.9 | | | Asset impairment and write-off charges of $12 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, primarily due to $10 million in store asset impairment charges attributable to the Company’s One Thousand Steps store concept (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). |

In absolute dollars, these expenses were up primarily due to minimum wage increases in many states across the country and an increased emphasis on the quality of our in-store merchandise presentation. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses were up due to deleveraging them against the near flat same-store sales result in the first half of fiscal 2007. |

| 3.8 | | | Total |
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $1.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to $2.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2006. Interest income was lower in the first half of fiscal 2007 due to the Company having lower average cash and short-term investment balances compared to the prior year.
Income Tax Benefit/Expense
The Company had a net income tax benefit of approximately $11 million for the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to income tax expense of $13 million for the first half of fiscal 2006 due to the net loss sustained by the Company during the first half of fiscal 2007. The effective income tax rate was 40.7% in the first half of fiscal 2007 as compared to 38.0% in the first half of fiscal 2006. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to lower projected net income for fiscal 2007 and the previously disclosed compensation arrangements for the Company’s CEO, a portion of which is not deductible for tax purposes. Our weighted average effective state income tax rate will vary over time depending on a number of factors, such as differing average income tax rates and net incomes in the respective states.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations primarily from internally generated cash flow, with occasional short-term and long-term borrowings and equity financing in past years. Our primary capital requirements have been for the construction of newly opened, remodeled, expanded or relocated stores, the financing of inventories and, in the past, construction of corporate facilities. We believe that our working capital and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure requirements without borrowing significantly under our credit facility for at least the next twelve months. In the event we were to determine in the future to close any additional demo stores or any or all of our One Thousand Steps stores, however, we could be required to draw on our credit facility in order to pay expenses associated with such closures.

Operating Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.5 million for the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to cash used of $1.5 million for the first half of fiscal 2006. The $21 million increase in cash provided by operations in the first half of fiscal 2007 as compared to the first half of fiscal 2006 was primarily attributable to the following:
| | | | |
$millions | | Attributable to |
$ | 34 | | | Increase in cash flows from accounts payable and inventory, due to timing of payments and a 11% decrease in inventory per square foot versus the second quarter last year. |
| | | | |
| 28 | | | Increase in cash flows related to current liabilities, primarily due to increased payroll, freight and medical claim accruals and the estimated lease termination liabilities associated with the 74 demo store closures which have not yet been negotiated and paid. |
| | | | |
| 12 | | | Non-cash asset impairment charges, primarily due to the impairment of the One Thousand Steps store concept (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). |
| | | | |
| 8 | | | Increase in cash flows related to long-term liabilities, primarily due to reduced cash disbursements associated with deferred compensation to former executives in the current year as compared to the prior year. |
| | | | |
| (37 | ) | | Decrease in net income. |
| | | | |
| (11 | ) | | Decrease in cash flows related to deferred lease incentives due to fewer new store openings in the first half of fiscal 2007 (6) versus the first half of fiscal 2006 (33). |
| | | | |
| (8 | ) | | Decrease in cash flows from other current assets, primarily due to increased accrued income tax receivables in the current year as a result of the net loss sustained by the Company in the current year. |
| | | | |
| (5 | ) | | Net decrease in cash flows from all other operating activities |

$ | 21 | | | Total |
Working Capital
Working capital at August 4, 2007 was $161 million compared to $195 million at February 3, 2007, a decrease of $34 million. The changes in working capital were as follows:
| | | | |
$millions | | Description |
$ | 195 | | | Working capital at February 3, 2007 |
| | | | |
| (42 | ) | | Decrease in cash and marketable securities, primarily due to the net loss sustained by the Company during the first half of fiscal 2007, among other items (see cash flow statement). |
| | | | |
| (15 | ) | | Increase in other current liabilities, primarily due to increased payroll accruals and estimated lease termination liabilities associated with the 74 demo store closures (see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). |

Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used in investing activities in the first half of fiscal 2007 was $71 million compared to cash provided of $12 million for the first half of fiscal 2006, a decrease in cash flows from investing activities of $83 million. Investing cash flows for the first half of fiscal 2007 were comprised of capital expenditures of $63 million and net purchases of marketable securities of $8 million. Capital expenditures were
22
predominantly for the opening of remodeled, relocated and expanded stores. In the first half of fiscal 2006, the Company’s investing activities generated $75 million in net maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by $63 million in capital expenditures.
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash provided by financing activities in the first half of fiscal 2007 was $25 million compared to cash used of $94 million for the first half of fiscal 2006. The Company completed an industrial revenue bond transaction associated with its Olathe, Kansas distribution center which resulted in a cash inflow of $23 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 (see Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Proceeds from employee exercises of stock options were $3 million lower in the first half of fiscal 2007 ($2 million) than in the first half of fiscal 2006 ($5 million). The Company repurchased and retired common stock in the amount of $99 million during the first half of fiscal 2006, but did not make any repurchases in the first half of fiscal 2007.
Credit Facility
We have an unsecured $200 million credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders which expires September 14, 2010. The credit facility provides for a $200 million revolving line of credit that can be increased to up to $275 million at our option under certain circumstances. The credit facility is available for direct borrowing and the issuance of letters of credit with a portion also available for swing-line loans. Direct borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at the Administrative Agent’s alternate base rate (as defined, 5.9% at August 4, 2007) or at optional interest rates that are primarily dependent upon LIBOR for the time period chosen. We had no direct borrowings outstanding under the credit facility at August 4, 2007. The credit facility requires us to maintain certain financial covenants, all of which we were in compliance with as of August 4, 2007.
Contractual Obligations
We have minimum annual rental commitments under existing store leases and leases for computer equipment. We lease all of our retail store locations under operating leases and lease computer equipment predominantly under operating leases. In addition, at any time, we are contingently liable for commercial letters of credit with foreign suppliers of merchandise. The table below includes the lease agreements for 37 of the original 74 demo closure stores for which lease termination agreements have not yet been finalized. All 74 stores have been closed by the Company, but the leases remain active for the 37 stores previously mentioned. At August 4, 2007, our future financial commitments under all existing contractual obligations were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Payments Due by Period |
Contractual Obligations | | | | | | Less than | | | | | | | | | | More than |

Total | | $ | 759 | | | $ | 134 | | | $ | 210 | | | $ | 175 | | | $ | 240 | |
The contractual obligations table above does not include common area maintenance (CAM) charges, which are also a required contractual obligation under our store operating leases. In many of our leases, CAM charges are not fixed and can fluctuate significantly from year to year for any particular store. Total store rental expenses, including CAM, for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $180 million, $161 million, and $138 million, respectively. We expect total CAM expenses to continue to increase as the number of stores increases from year to year.
Operating Leases – We lease our retail stores and certain equipment under operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through January 2019. Substantially all of our retail store leases require us to pay CAM charges, insurance, property taxes and percentage rent ranging from 5% to 7% based on sales
23
volumes exceeding certain minimum sales levels. The initial terms of such leases are typically 8 to 10 years. Many of these leases contain renewal options exercisable at our discretion. Most leases also contain rent escalation clauses that come into effect at various times throughout the lease term. Rent expense is recorded under the straight-line method over the life of the lease. Other rent escalation clauses can take effect based on changes in primary mall tenants throughout the term of a given lease. Most leases also contain cancellation or kick-out clauses in our favor that relieve us of any future obligation under a lease if specified sales levels are not achieved by a specified date. None of our retail store leases contain purchase options.
We review the operating performance of our stores on an ongoing basis to determine which stores, if any, to remodel, expand, relocate or close. We closed six stores in fiscal 2006 and currently anticipate closing approximately 100-110 stores in fiscal 2007, including the 74 demo stores recently closed (see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of our breach of agreements, services to be provided by us, or intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our officers that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. We maintain director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from our obligation to indemnify our directors and officers in certain circumstances.
It is not possible to determine our maximum potential liability under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Such indemnification agreements may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, we have not incurred material costs as a result of obligations under these agreements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is contained in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended August 4, 2007, which note is incorporated herein by this reference.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on the results of operations in the recent past. There can be no assurance that our business will not be affected by inflation in the future.
Seasonality and Quarterly Results
Our business is seasonal by nature. Our first quarter historically accounts for the smallest percentage of annual net sales with each successive quarter contributing a greater percentage than the last. In recent years, excluding sales generated by new and relocated/expanded stores, approximately 44% of our net sales have occurred in the first half of the fiscal year and approximately 56% have occurred in the second half, with the Christmas and back-to-school selling periods together accounting for approximately 30% of our annual net sales and a higher percentage of our operating income. Our quarterly results of operations may also fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including the timing of store openings; the amount of revenue contributed by new stores; the timing and level of markdowns; the timing of store closings, expansions and relocations; competitive factors; and general economic conditions.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are susceptible to market value fluctuations with regard to our short-term investments. However, due to the relatively short maturity period of those investments and our intention and ability to hold those investments until maturity, the risk of material market value fluctuations is not expected to be significant.
To the extent we borrow under our credit facility, we are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. At August 4, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding under our credit facility and we did not borrow under the credit facility at any time during fiscal 2007 or 2006. Based on the interest rate of 5.9% on our credit facility at August 4, 2007, if interest rates on the credit facility were to increase by 10%, and to the extent borrowings were outstanding, for every $1 million outstanding on our credit facility, net income would be reduced by approximately $4 thousand per year. We are not a party with respect to derivative financial instruments.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic reports filed with the Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of August 4, 2007.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter 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
For information on legal proceedings, see “Litigation” within Note 13 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in response to this Item 1.
Item 1A – Risk Factors
We have updated the risk factors discussed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2007. We do not believe any of the updates constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in that report. For convenience, our risk factors, as updated, are included below in this Item 1A.
Our comparable store net sales results will fluctuate significantly, which can cause volatility in our operating performance and stock price.Our comparable store net sales results have fluctuated significantly on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis, and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future. For example, over the past five years, monthly comparable store net sales results have varied from a low of minus 16% to a high of plus 20%. A variety of factors affect our comparable store net sales results, including changes in fashion trends and customer preferences, changes in our merchandise mix, calendar shifts of holiday periods, actions by competitors, weather conditions and general economic conditions. Our comparable store net sales results for any particular fiscal month, quarter or year may decrease. As a result of these or other factors, our comparable store net sales results, both past and future, are likely to have a significant effect on the market price of our common stock and our operating performance, including our use of markdowns and our ability to leverage operating and other expenses that are somewhat fixed.
25
Our failure to identify and respond appropriately to changing consumer preferences and fashion trends in a timely manner could have a material adverse impact on our profitability.Our success is largely dependent upon our ability to gauge the fashion tastes of our customers and to provide merchandise at competitive prices and in adequate quantities that satisfies customer demand in a timely manner. Our failure to anticipate, identify or react appropriately in a timely manner to changes in fashion trends could have a material adverse effect on our same store sales results, gross margins, operating margins, financial condition and results of operations. Misjudgments or unanticipated fashion changes could also have a material adverse effect on our image with our customers. Some of our vendors have limited resources, production capacities and operating histories and some have intentionally limited the distribution of their merchandise. The inability or unwillingness on the part of key vendors to expand their operations to keep pace with the anticipated growth of our store concepts, or the loss of one or more key vendors or proprietary brand sources for any reason, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are currently evaluating store design alternatives for all of our retail concepts, which may not result in improved operational performance.We believe that store design is an important element in the customer shopping experience. Many of our stores have been in operation for many years and have not been updated or renovated since opening. Some of our competitors are in the process of updating, or have updated, their store designs, which may make our stores appear less attractive visually. We have been testing or plan to test new store design alternatives for all of our retail concepts in an attempt to update the look of our stores and improve their productivity. This process carries additional risks such as higher than anticipated construction costs, lack of customer acceptance, and lower store productivity than planned or anticipated, among others. There can be no assurance that this process will prove successful in improving operational results or that we can achieve meaningful results in an adequate timeframe. Any inability on our part to successfully implement new store designs in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our continued growth depends, in part, on our ability to develop new store concepts and/or open new stores that achieve acceptable levels of profitability. Any failure to do so may negatively impact our stock price and operational performance.Our store concepts are located principally in enclosed regional shopping malls. Our PacSun concept is a relatively mature concept with limited domestic opportunities to open new stores in such malls. Our other store concepts, demo and One Thousand Steps, have yet to achieve acceptable levels of profitability. We recently closed 74 underperforming demo stores and do not plan to open any new One Thousand Steps stores during fiscal 2007. We recorded store asset impairment charges of approximately $10 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 related to our One Thousand Steps concept as we determined that these stores would not be able to generate sufficient cash flows over the life of the related store leases to recover the our initial property and equipment investment in them. There can be no assurance that the operational performance of these two concepts will improve and a failure to improve could result in additional store closures, asset impairment charges, and lease termination and other related expenses being incurred in the future. There can also be no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop new store concepts that will enable us to continue to grow profitably. Any inability to sustain future long-term growth opportunities could have a material adverse impact on our business, stock price, financial condition and results of operations.
We launched operations of a new retail concept, One Thousand Steps, in fiscal 2006, which could divert attention from existing operations.We launched operations for One Thousand Steps in fiscal 2006 through the opening of the first nine test stores. This new concept is at a very early stage and is not yet proven. Our ability to make this new retail concept successful is subject to numerous risks, including, but not limited to, (i) lower productivity (in terms of sales per square foot) than anticipated or required to make the concept profitable and expandable, (ii) higher than anticipated construction costs, (iii) unanticipated operating problems, (iv) lack of customer acceptance, (v) new vendor relationships, (vi) competition from existing and new retailers, and (vii) lack of sufficient product differentiation. There can be no assurance that this new retail concept will achieve sales and profitability levels that justify the Company’s investment in it. Additionally, the expansion of this new retail concept involves other risks that
26
could have a material adverse effect on the Company, including, but not limited to, (i) diversion of management’s attention from the Company’s core businesses, (ii) inability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel, including management and product designers, and (iii) difficulty in locating and obtaining favorable store sites and negotiating acceptable lease terms. Any inability to succeed in developing this new retail concept could have a material adverse effect on our continued growth and results of operations.
We face significant competition from both vertically-integrated and brand-based competitors that are growing rapidly, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.The retail apparel, footwear and accessory business is highly competitive. All of our store concepts compete on a national level with a diverse group of retailers, including vertically-integrated and brand-based national, regional and local specialty retail stores and certain leading department stores that offer the same or similar brands and styles of merchandise as we do. Many of our competitors are larger and have significantly greater resources than we do. We believe the principal competitive factors in our industry are fashion, merchandise assortment, quality, price, store location, environment and customer service.
Our customers may not prefer our proprietary brand merchandise, which may negatively impact our profitability.Sales from proprietary brand merchandise accounted for approximately 28%, 31%, and 30% of net sales in fiscal 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve increases in proprietary brand merchandise sales as a percentage of net sales. Because our proprietary brand merchandise generally carries higher merchandise margins than our other merchandise, our failure to anticipate, identify and react in a timely manner to fashion trends with our proprietary brand merchandise, particularly if the percentage of net sales derived from proprietary brand merchandise changes significantly (up or down), may have a material adverse effect on our same store sales results, operating margins, financial condition and results of operations.
Our current or prospective vendors may be unable or unwilling to supply us with adequate quantities of their merchandise in a timely manner or at acceptable prices, which could have a material adverse impact on our business.The success of our business is dependant upon developing and maintaining good relationships with our vendors. We work very closely with our vendors to develop and acquire appropriate merchandise at acceptable prices for our stores. However, we do not have any contractual relationships with our vendors. In addition, some of our vendors are relatively unsophisticated or underdeveloped and may have difficulty in providing adequate quantities or quality of merchandise to us in a timely manner. Also, certain of our vendors sell their merchandise directly to retail customers in direct competition with us. Our vendors could discontinue their relationship with us or raise prices on their merchandise at any time. There can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire sufficient quantities of quality merchandise at acceptable prices in a timely manner in the future. Any inability to do so, or the loss of one or more of our key vendors, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our foreign sources of production may not always be reliable, which may result in a disruption in the flow of new merchandise to our stores.We purchase merchandise directly in foreign markets for our proprietary brands. In addition, we purchase merchandise from domestic vendors, some of which is manufactured overseas. We do not have any long-term merchandise supply contracts and our imports are subject to existing or potential duties, tariffs and quotas. We face competition from other companies for production facilities and import quota capacity. We also face a variety of other risks generally associated with doing business in foreign markets and importing merchandise from abroad, such as: (i) political instability; (ii) enhanced security measures at United States ports, which could delay delivery of imports; (iii) imposition of new legislation relating to import quotas that may limit the quantity of goods which may be imported into the United States from countries in a region within which we do business; (iv) imposition of duties, taxes, and other charges on imports; (v) delayed receipt or non-delivery of goods due to the failure of foreign-source suppliers to comply with applicable import regulations; (vi) delayed receipt or non-delivery of goods due to organized labor strikes or unexpected or significant port congestion at United States ports; and (vii) local business practice and political issues, including issues relating to compliance with domestic or international labor standards which may result in adverse publicity. New initiatives may be proposed that may have an impact on the trading status of certain countries and may include retaliatory
27
duties or other trade sanctions that, if enacted, would increase the cost of products purchased from suppliers in countries that we do business with. Any inability on our part to rely on our foreign sources of production due to any of the factors listed above could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business at any time.Our continued success is dependent to a significant degree upon the services of our key personnel, particularly our executive officers. The loss of the services of any member of our senior management team could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our success in the future will also be dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our information systems may not be adequate to support future growth, which could disrupt business operations.We have experienced periods of rapid growth in the past. While we regularly evaluate our information systems capabilities and requirements, there can be no assurance that our existing information systems will be adequate to support future growth or will remain adequate to support the existing needs of our business. In order to support future growth, we may have to undertake significant information system implementations, modifications and/or upgrades in the future at significant cost to us. Such projects involve inherent risks associated with replacing and/or changing existing systems, such as system disruptions and the failure to accurately capture data, among others. Information system disruptions, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Adverse outcomes of litigation matters could significantly affect our operational results.We are involved from time to time in litigation incidental to our business. We believe that the outcome of current litigation will not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations or financial condition. However, our assessment of current litigation could change in light of the discovery of facts with respect to legal actions pending against us not presently known to us or determinations by judges, juries or other finders of fact which do not accord with our evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation.
Any disruption of our distribution activities could have a material adverse impact on our business. We operate two distribution facilities, one in Anaheim, California, that has been in operation for several years and the other in Olathe, Kansas, which began limited operations in May 2007. Any significant interruption in the operation of the existing distribution facility or delay in the ramp up of operations in our second distribution center due to natural disasters, accidents, system failures or other unforeseen causes would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that our distribution centers will be adequate to support our future growth.
Our stock price can fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, which can negatively impact our total market value.The market price of our common stock has fluctuated substantially and there can be no assurance that the market price of the common stock will not continue to fluctuate significantly. Future announcements or management discussions concerning the Company or its competitors, net sales and profitability results, quarterly variations in operating results or comparable store net sales, changes in earnings estimates made by management or analysts, or changes in accounting policies, among other factors, could cause the market price of the common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume volatility in the past. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many public companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies.
Selling merchandise over the internet carries particular risks that can have a negative impact on our business.Our internet operations are subject to numerous risks that could have a material adverse effect on our operational results, including unanticipated operating problems, reliance on third party computer hardware and software providers, system failures and the need to invest in additional computer systems. Specific risks include: (i) diversion of sales from our stores; (ii) rapid technological change; (iii) liability
28
for online content; and (iv) risks related to the failure of the computer systems that operate the website and its related support systems, including computer viruses, telecommunication failures and electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. In addition, internet operations involve risks which are beyond our control that could have a material adverse effect on our operational results, including: (i) price competition involving the items we intend to sell; (ii) the entry of our vendors into the internet business, in direct competition with us; (iii) the level of merchandise returns experienced by us; (iv) governmental regulation; (v) online security breaches involving unauthorized access to Company and/or customer information; (vi) credit card fraud; and (vii) competition and general economic conditions specific to the internet, online commerce and the apparel industry.
Any failure by us to maintain credit facility financial covenants could have a material adverse impact on our business.A significant decrease in our operating results could adversely affect our ability to maintain required financial ratios under our credit facility. Required financial ratios include a rolling four-quarter minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as well as a maximum leverage ratio. If these financial ratios are not maintained, the lenders will have the option to terminate the facility and require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding under the credit facility, if any. The alternatives available to the Company if in default of its covenants would include renegotiating certain terms of the credit agreement, obtaining waivers from the lenders, or obtaining a new credit agreement with another bank or group of lenders, which may contain different terms. If we were unable to obtain waivers or renegotiate acceptable lending terms, there can be no guarantee that we would be able to obtain a new credit agreement with another bank or group of lenders on similar terms or at all.
The effects of terrorism or war could significantly impact consumer spending and our operational performance.The majority of our stores are located in regional shopping malls. Any threat or actual act of terrorism, particularly in public areas, could lead to lower customer traffic in regional shopping malls. In addition, local authorities or mall management could close regional shopping malls in response to any immediate security concern. Mall closures, as well as lower customer traffic due to security concerns, could result in decreased sales. Additionally, war or the threat of war could significantly diminish consumer spending, resulting in decreased sales for the Company. Decreased sales would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
*************
We caution that the risk factors described above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on behalf of the Company. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
