CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION --------------------- In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are considered normal and recurring to present fairly the financial position of the Company at July 3, 1999(Fiscal 1999)and January 2, 1999 (Fiscal 1998), and the results of operations for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended July 3, 1999 and June 27, 1998 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six weeks then ended. Certain financial information which is normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but which is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 1999. Certain amounts reflected in Fiscal 1998 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the presentation of similar items in Fiscal 1999. Net income includes all sources of comprehensive income. There were no adjustments for foreign currency translation, unrealized gains(losses)on investments or deferred compensation expense incurred in Fiscal 1999 or Fiscal 1998 results. 2. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS -------------------------- Basic and diluted earnings per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the twenty-six and thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999 and June 27, 1998. The approximate number of shares used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were 9,258,000 and 9,173,000, for the twenty-six week periods and 9,266,000 and 9,177,000 for the thirteen week periods ended July 3, 1999 and June 27, 1998, respectively. 7 3.

BANK DEBT --------- During July 1999, the Company reached an agreement with its bank to extend the maturity of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility until January 31, 2003. Pursuant to the Amended Revolving Credit Facility $15,000,000 is available until expiration at January 31, 2003. The amounts outstanding thereunder bear interest at a maximum per annum rate up to the bank's prime rate. The agreement contains selected financial and other covenants including covenants to maintain a minimum current ratio, a maximum debt to equity ratio, a maximum capital expenditure covenant and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The amended agreement now permits the payment of dividends on the Company's common stock. Effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company grants to the bank a security interest in the Company's inventory and certain receivables. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit at July 3, 1999, and January 2, 1999. The related party debt is no longer subordinated to the bank debt and repayment is no longer subject to terms of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is currently in compliance with all covenant requirements. 8 NOTE 6. INDEBTEDNESS TO/FROM RELATED PARTIES ------------------------------------ As of July 3, 1999 and January 2, 1999 the Company had outstanding, (i) a $250,000 long-term loan from a major stockholder bearing interest payable quarterly with principal due upon demand at any time after January 31, 2000; and (ii) a $1,750,000 loan made by the same stockholder bearing interest payable quarterly with principal due upon demand at any time after January 31, 2000. Interest on both notes accrue at 7% per year through January 31, 2000. In July 1999, the Company and the major stockholder agreed to extend the maturity date on the notes to January 31, 2003, at the current interest rate of 7% per annum. On April 27, 1998, the Company loaned an executive $50,000, which was to be repaid in 60 monthly payments. The loan has been subsequently repaid in full. 7. INCOME TAXES ------------ The effective tax rate for Fiscal 1999 and 1998 is 41.0%. At July 3, 1999 and January 2, 1999, the Company's deferred tax assets were $964,000 and $938,000, respectively, and, there was no deferred tax liability. The major components of the Company's net deferred taxes at are as follows: July 3, January 2, 1999 1999 --------- --------- Net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL'S")....... $ 40,000 $ 40,000 Deferred rent................................... 816,000 837,000 Other........................................... 108,000 61,000 --------- --------- $ 964,000 $ 938,000 ========== ========= 8. CONTINGENCIES ------------- The Company is exposed to a number of asserted and unasserted potential claims. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters is not presently expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position and results of operations. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS - ---------------------------------------------- Except for the historical information and current statements contained in this Form 10-Q, certain matters discussed herein, including, without limitation, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the effect of economic and market conditions and competition, the ability to open new stores and expand into new markets, and risks relating to foreign importing operations, which would cause actual results to differ materially. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Company's primary need for capital is to finance new store merchandise inventories, as well as the construction of new stores and the renovation of existing stores. During the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999, the Company used cash ($3,989,000) and cash flow from non-cash depreciation expenses ($2,139,000) to repay accounts payable ($3,026,000), to fund inventory increase ($1,767,000)and to fund the Company's store expansion and remodeling program ($2,940,000). The Company had no bank borrowings during Fiscal 1999. The Company plans to open approximately thirteen new Cache stores during 1999. The Company has opened six new Cache stores in the first half of 1999. Approximately seven new Cache stores are expected to be opened during the second half of 1999. The Company also plans to open approximately six new Lillie Rubin stores during the second half of 1999, including it's first new prototype Lillie Rubin store at South Hills Village, in Pittsburgh, PA. After deducting construction allowances paid to the Company by its landlords, the Company has spent approximately $2,940,000 through July 3, 1999 and expects to spend an additional $3,500,000 in 1999 for both new store and existing store construction and remodeling. The Company closed one store in July, 1999, the closure had no material impact on earnings. The Company has completed a comprehensive review of its computer systems and is nearing completion of modifications to existing software and conversion to new software, in preparation for the Year 2000. To date, the Company has spent approximately $125,000 for external consulting, software and hardware improvements. The total costs associated with modifying current systems and new software cost is not anticipated to have a material impact on results of operations, cash flows or financial condition in any given year. However, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to completely identify or address all year 2000 compliance issues, or that third parties with whom the Company does business will not experience system failures as a result of the year 2000 issue, nor can the Company fully predict the consequences of noncompliance. 10 Management believes that the Company's internally generated cash flows will be sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for operations and planned expansion during Fiscal 1999. The Company's cash flow from operations continues to be strong, as evidenced by the Company's current ratio at July 3, 1999 of 2.03 : 1.00; with cash on hand of $9.7 million and no bank debt outstanding. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- For the twenty-six and thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999, the 5% increase and 4% increase, respectively, in comparative store sales, as well as higher gross margins was partially offset by higher occupancy costs and selling general and administrative expenses, resulting in an increase in net income in Fiscal 1999 as compared to Fiscal 1998. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was partially offset by reductions in net interest expense, as well as an increase in interest income. Certain financial data concerning the Company's results of operations for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended July 3, 1999 and June 27, 1998, expressed as a percentage of net sales, are as follows: Twenty-six Weeks Ended Thirteen Weeks Ended ---------------------- -------------------- July 3, June 27, June 27, July 3, 1999 1998 1998 1999 -------- -------- --------- ------- Sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying expenses 64.3% 65.3% 63.7% 64.5% Selling, general and administrative expenses 30.9% 31.5% 30.3% 30.0% Income before taxes 4.9% 3.1% 6.2% 5.6% Income tax provision 2.0% 1.3% 2.5% 2.3% Net income 2.9% 1.8% 3.6% 3.3% Sales - ----- Net sales increased $8,660,000 or 13.8% and $3,508,000 or 9.6%, respectively, during the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended July 3, 1999, versus the comparable periods in 1998. The increases were primarily due to the greater number of stores open during the 1999 period, approximately 187 as compared to approximately 170 in Fiscal 1998, as well as an increase in comparable store sales during the 1999 periods. Comparable store sales increased 5% and 4%, respectively, for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods in 1999, as compared to the comparable periods in 1998. 11 Historically, sales at new stores do not achieve the same levels as existing, established stores. New stores generally begin to perform as well as existing stores during their second and third year of operation. Sales on a weighted average basis for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended July 3, 1999 and June 27, 1998 were as follows: Twenty-six Weeks Ended Thirteen Weeks Ended ------------------------- ------------------------ July 3, June 27, July 3, June 27, 1999 1998 1999 1998 ------------------------- ------------------------- Sales $76,514,000 $67,854,000 $40,028,000 $36,520,000 Weighted Average Stores Open During Period 186.8 170.0 188.8 170.8 Net Sales Per Weighted Average Number of Stores $410,000 $399,000 $212,000 $214,000 Net Weighted Average Sales per square foot $193.54 $192.19 $100.35 $103.00 Stores Open at End of Period 190 171 190 171 Costs and expenses - ------------------- Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased $4,896,000 or 11.0% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999, versus the similar period in 1998. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and the related cost of merchandise for those sales, as well as a $1,182,000 increase in occupancy expenses, primarily due to the additional stores in operation during the 1999 versus 1998. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales, including the occupancy expenses, decreased 1.0%, (64.3% versus 65.3%) for the twenty-six week period ended July 3, 1999, versus the comparable period in 1998. The decrease was primarily due to higher initial mark-ups in 1999, as compared to Fiscal 1998. Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased $1,959,000 or 8.3% for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999, versus the similar 1998 period. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and the related cost of the merchandise for those sales, and a $595,000 increase in occupancy, due to the additional stores in operation during 1999 versus 1998. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales, including occupancy and buying expenses, decreased 0.8% (63.7% versus 64.5%) for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999, versus the comparable period in 1998. The decrease was primarily due to higher initial mark-ups, as compared to the comparable period in 1998, and was partially offset by higher markdowns, as a percent of sales, as compared to the 1998 period. 12 Selling, general and administrative expenses - --------------------------------------------- Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") increased $2,270,000 or 10.6% during the twenty-six week period ended July 3, 1999 versus the comparable period in 1998. The increase was primarily due to the greater number of stores open in Fiscal 1999 as compared to Fiscal 1998. The increase in certain expense categories was due to greater payroll and payroll taxes ($1,875,000), credit card fees ($104,000), depreciation ($127,000) and licenses and taxes ($110,000), and was partially offset by a reduction in freight expense ($78,000)and advertising expense($52,000). As a percentage of sales, these expenses decreased 0.6% (30.9% versus 31.5%) for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999 versus the similar 1998 period. The decrease was due primarily to the effect of higher comparable store sales, experienced in the current twenty-six week period, upon S,G&A expenses, which are relatively fixed in nature, as well as management's efforts to contain S,G&A expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,165,000 or 10.6% during the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999, versus the comparable period in 1998. The increase was primarily due to greater number of stores open in Fiscal 1999, as compared to Fiscal 1998. The increase in several expense catagories was primarily due to greater payroll and payroll taxes ($964,000), licenses and taxes($67,000) and depreciation($64,000). As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased 0.3% (30.3% versus 30.0%) for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999 versus the similar 1998 period. The increase was due primarily to the effect of higher payroll and payroll taxes which was primarily driven by the greater number of stores open during the Fiscal 1999 period. Interest expense - ---------------- Interest expense decreased $14,000 and $2,000, respectively, for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended July 3, 1999 versus the comparable period in 1998, primarily due to elimination of bank borrowing in 1999. Interest income - --------------- Interest income increased to $196,000 from $93,000 for the twenty-six week period, as well as increasing to $107,000 from $60,000 for the thirteen week period. The increase is primarily due to the strong cash flow levels the Company is generating. Income taxes - ------------- The Company's effective tax rate is approximately 41%, for Fiscal 1999 and 1997, respectively. 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
