These statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31,1996. The internal accounting for the Company is on a fiscal calendar quarter basis. The fiscal quarter dates may vary from the calendar quarter dates, (i.e. September 27 vs. September 30 for the third quarter 1997), except for the fourth quarter which ends on December 31. The differences in interim periods are immaterial. 2.The first nine months of the year are seasonally slower and do not represent 75% of the year. 3.In the first nine months of 1997 $450,000 of dividends were paid on the Series G preferred shares. Of this amount $237,112 was for previously reported and accreted dividends. 4.In the first nine months of 1997, the Company incurred capital lease obligations totaling $452,000 in connection with equipment purchases. 5.The Company anticipates that the effects of applying Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 will have no material impact on earnings per share. 6.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THIRD QUARTER 1997 AND NINE MONTHS VS THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS 1996 The Company reported net income of $697,048 and income per common share of $.08 for the third quarter 1997, compared to net income of $653,286 and income per common share of $.07 for the third quarter 1996. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company recorded net income of $1,098,705 and earnings per common share of $.11, compared to net income of $668,119 and income per common share of $.06 for the same period a year ago. Per share calculations are made after provision for Series G preferred dividend requirements. Sales from Company stores were down $368,000, or 8% for the third quarter 1997, and down $947,000, or 7% on a year-to-date basis, compared to the same period a year ago due to fewer Company stores in operation. Sales from comparable stores were flat. Fewer Company stores also accounted for reduced Company store cost of sales and operating expenses which fell $362,000, or 9% for the third quarter, and $904,000, or 8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Compared to the same period a year ago merchandise sales were flat for the third quarter 1997, but increased $398,000, or 3% on a year-to-date basis, as a result of increasing franchisee comparable store sales offset by lower paper prices. Merchandise cost of sales and expenses declined $208,000, or 2% through September 1997, as the cost of increased merchandise sales was offset by the Company's first quarter temporary reduction to overhead. In the third quarter of 1996 $363,000 was reclassified into merchandise cost of sales from selling, general, and administrative expenses. Lower costs of certain products primarily accounted for the balance of the $642,000 decrease in this category. Royalty revenues increased $20,000, or 2% for the third quarter, and $305,000, or 9% for the six months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to increased franchisee store sales. Franchise fees were down $13,000, or 8% for the quarter, and $98,000, or 19% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period a year ago due to fewer franchise store openings in 1997. Investment income increased $45,000, or 87% for the quarter, and $92,000, or 60% on a year-to-date basis, compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to more notes receivable outstanding. Telemarketing revenues were up $50,000, or 27% for the third quarter, and $215,000, or 46% as of September 30, 1997, compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to the Company obtaining additional accounts other than portrait marketing for franchisees. Advertising costs were up $32,000, or 9% for the quarter, primarily due to the timing of expenditures. As of September 30, 1997 advertising costs declined $134,000, or 12% compared to the same period a year ago, due to planned reductions to Company store advertising. Interest expense increased $7,000, or 6% for the quarter, but decreased $48,000, or 13% year-to-date due to lower levels of interest bearing debt. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash used in operating activities increased by $1.2 million primarily due to payment of $3 million of additional accounts payable and $960,000 in accrued income taxes and accrued bonuses, offset by increased operating income. The increase in other liabilities is primarily due to an increase in deferred revenues, $230,000 of which will be recognized as revenue during the year. Cash provided by financing activities increased $3.3 million due to increased proceeds from bank borrowings. The proceeds were used to prepay $3 million of existing debt and to fund cash used in operating activities. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.
