AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. MANAGEMENT'S PLANS AND LIQUIDITY On March 22, 2002, Little Switzerland, Inc. ("Little Switzerland" or the "Company") announced the closing of a 3 year, $12 million senior collateralized credit facility with Congress Financial Corporation (Florida) ("Congress"). This credit facility, coupled with an equity investment and working capital facility by Tiffany & Co. and its affiliate, Tiffany & Company International, Inc. (collectively, "Tiffany"), in May 2001, has provided the Company with the financial and operational resources necessary to complete its restructuring. See Note 8, Credit Arrangements. On August 15, 2002, Tiffany & Co. through its wholly owned subsidiary TSAC Corp. ("TSAC") initiated a tender offer to acquire all the outstanding shares of Little Switzerland not owned by Tiffany at $2.40 per share (see Note 12). The Company has incurred both operating losses and negative cash flows from operations of $4.5 million and $5.5 million for fiscal 2002, and $7.6 million and $6.6 million in fiscal 2001, and $15.5 million and $3.8 million in fiscal 2000, respectively. As of May 25, 2002 and May 26, 2001, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $8.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Although the Company continues to reduce its net loss, the continuation of operating losses increases reliance on the Company's borrowing facility. As disclosed in the Company's recently filed Form 10-K for the year ended May 25, 2002, management's financing and operating goals for fiscal 2003 include: (1) enhancing the Company's sales performance through continued improvement to the merchandise mix, introduction of new high margin product categories, focusing managers on driving conversion rates generated based on traffic flow into the stores, improved sales associated with expansion of Tiffany boutique concepts, and improving product knowledge and sales training for its staff, (2) improving margin through continued store level focus of margin performance at the store vendor and employee level, improving margin and stock replenishment by leveraging tools that will become available as a result of the stores point of sale system upgrades and (3) managing operating costs to anticipated revenue levels, and continued reduction in corporate overhead costs. The Company has made progress in the first quarter towards these goals by testing new products with superior margins in the Alaska market, however, many of the expected benefits will not be realized until the Company completes its point of sale system upgrades which should occur later this fiscal year. There is no assurance that management's plan will be successful. Management believes that its working capital and existing credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its operations for the current fiscal year, however, it is unlikely the Company will have sufficient capital to expand the business in the current fiscal year. In addition, if the Company is unable to achieve its plans or continues to incur unexpected costs associated with the TSAC tender offer described above, the Company may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing during fiscal 2003 and there is no assurance that such capital or financing will be available to the Company on terms acceptable to the Company. 2. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of Little Switzerland, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, L.S. Holding, Inc., L.S. Wholesale, Inc. and L.S. Holding (Florida), Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal recurring nature) to present fairly the Company's financial position as of August 24, 2002 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet data at May 25, 2002 are derived from the audited financial statements which are included in the Company's report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2002, which should be read in connection with these financial statements. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, these financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year, due to the seasonal nature of the Company's operations. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year. 3. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant assumptions and estimates relate to inventory valuation, useful lives of property and equipment, provision for income taxes and valuation allowances on deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Periodically, the Company reviews all significant estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements relative to current conditions and records the effect of any necessary adjustments. <Page> 4. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. This statement nullifies EITF No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. A liability is incurred as defined in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, "Elements of Financial Statements." SFAS No. 146 is applicable should management decide to close certain stores or restructure the Company. Currently, management has no such plans. 5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive loss/income is defined as the change in net assets of a business enterprise during an accounting period from transactions generated from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The comprehensive loss/income is equal to the net loss/income for the periods ended August 24, 2002 and August 25, 2001. 6. INVENTORY Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. Inventory consists almost entirely of finished merchandise purchased for resale and was approximately $38.1 million and $38.5 million at August 24, 2002 and May 25, 2002, respectively. The Company also maintained consignment inventory at its retail locations of approximately $2.2 million and $1.1 million at August 24, 2002 and May 25, 2002, respectively. This consigned inventory and related contingent obligations are not reflected in the Company's financial statements. At the time consigned inventory is sold, the Company records the purchase liability in accounts payable and the related cost of merchandise in cost of sales. 7. STORE OPERATIONS On June 1, 2002, the Company leased an additional 700 square feet at its store located in the Key West Hilton Resort bringing the total selling square footage in this location to 1,400 square feet. 8. CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS On March 22, 2002, the Company established a senior collateralized revolving and term loan credit facility with Congress, which allows the Company to borrow up to $12 million, through March 21, 2005, of which up to $8 million is a revolving loan and $4 million is a term loan, at an interest rate of 2.75% per annum above the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or 0.75% per annum above Prime, plus customary servicing costs and unused facility fees. Amounts advanced to the Company under this credit facility are limited to a stated borrowing base which is calculated as a percentage of certain inventory less specific reserves (as defined in the credit agreement). The Company's receipts are applied daily to the revolver component of the loan requiring the Company to borrow daily to meet cash flow needs. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's U.S. and U.S.V.I. based assets, including all the U.S. and U.S.V.I. based inventory, the pledge of two-thirds of the stock of the Company's foreign subsidiaries and a first priority leasehold mortgage over the St. Thomas building occupied by the Company as its headquarters and main warehouse. The terms of the Congress facility include customary covenants and events of default. The Congress facility contains a number of covenants that restrict the operations of the Company, including restrictions on, among other things, certain mergers, acquisitions or sales of the Company's assets; cash dividends and other distributions to equity holders; transactions with affiliates; and the incurrence of indebtedness and granting of liens. Further, the Company is required to maintain during a specified period, a minimum net worth the amount of which is determined depending upon the Company's borrowing availability under the facility during such period. The terms of the facility also provide for customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment default, non-compliance with covenants, including the net worth covenant, breach of representations or warranties, material judgments against the Company and bankruptcy. In the event of an event of default, Congress may terminate its lending commitments to the Company and declare the Company's outstanding indebtedness under the credit facility immediately due and payable, together with accrued but unpaid interest and fees. As of August 24, 2002, the Company had utilized $7.8 million of this facility and had approximately $4.2 million of availability remaining. The interest rates in effect at August 24, 2002 were 4.56% on the Eurodollar rate borrowings and 5.5% on the Prime rate borrowings. This facility replaces the Company's previous credit arrangement with Chase which allowed the Company to borrow up to $3.75 million, through June 1, 2002 with an option to extend the facility through November 30, 2002, subject to certain conditions, at an interest rate of 3% per annum above LIBOR. In addition, the Company issued to Chase a warrant to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to 0.31% of the shares of common stock outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis) on the date of exercise for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000. This warrant was exercised in September 2002 in connection with the TSAC tender offer (see Note 12). As of August 24, 2002 and May 25, 2002 all amounts borrowed under the Chase credit facility had been repaid. <Page> The Company also maintains a credit facility with Tiffany, which allows the Company to borrow up to $2.5 million at an interest rate of 3% per annum above LIBOR. Interest is payable semi-annually on January 31st and July 31st of each calendar year with principal and unpaid interest due on or before April 30, 2006. The facility is collateralized by a subordinated interest in the Company's U.S. and U.S.V.I. based inventory, as well as a subordinated pledge of two-thirds of the stock of the Company's foreign subsidiaries (except Barbados). As of August 24, 2002 and May 25, 2002, the Company had utilized $2.5 million of this facility. In addition to the above credit facilities, in November 2000, the Company completed certain transactions with Almod Diamonds Ltd. ("Almod"), which resulted in the Company receiving $2.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of a $2.0 million non-interest bearing loan, collateralized by the Company's Barbados inventory. A balloon payment is due on December 31, 2003. If the Company is unable to repay such debt by the due date, Almod will have the right to convert its preferred shares and/or its Class B Common Shares in the Company's Barbados subsidiary, World Gift Imports (Barbados) Ltd. ("WGI"), into Class A stock of WGI at a rate of one for one, or purchase all or some Class A Common Shares, at a price of $1 per share. Interest on the note payable has been imputed at an interest rate of 11.5%, which is a rate commensurate with the Company's then current borrowings, and resulted in $570,000 of original discount, of which $46,235 and $46,235 has been amortized to expense in the three months ended August 24, 2002 and August 25, 2001, respectively (see Note 11). Outstanding borrowings against collateralized credit facilities totaled $12.3 million and $10.7 million, net of unamortized discount, at August 24, 2002 and May 25, 2002, respectively. The weighted average interest rates incurred during fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000 were approximately 7.3%, 10.9% and 9.6%, respectively. 9.EARNINGS PER SHARE In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants (as calculated utilizing the treasury stock method). The following table summarizes the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators for the basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") computations (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> Three months Ended August 24, August 25, 2002 2001 --------- ---------- Net earnings (loss) for basic and diluted EPS $ (1,109) $ (1,546) ========== ========== Weighted average number of shares used in basic earnings per share calculation 16,716 16,474 Incremental shares from assumed exercise of stock options and warrants -- -- --------- ---------- Weighted average number of shares used in diluted earnings per share calculation 16,716 16,474 ========== ========== Shares under and outside of option plans and warrants excluded in computation of diluted earnings per share due to antidilutive effects 1,463 1,801 ========== ========== </Table> The Company's calculation of dilutive earnings per share excludes the effect of outstanding options and warrants that are anti-dilutive. 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is party to various pending litigation, claims, assessments and proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Management of the Company believes that these legal proceedings and claims should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 11. ALMOD TRANSACTION During fiscal 2001, the Company engaged in negotiations with Almod regarding various transactions, including the sale of WGI. Due to various issues encountered during the negotiations with Almod regarding the potential sale of the Company's operations in Barbados, the parties agreed in lieu of the sale of WGI to Almod, the Company would restructure the capital of this subsidiary. The final arrangement resulted in the Company continuing to own this Barbados subsidiary, with Diamonds International Ltd. ("DI"), a subsidiary of Almod, being offered a minority interest in WGI pending government approval of proposed changes in this subsidiary's bylaws. Such approval was obtained on June 21, 2001. On March 15, 2002, Almod purchased 31,302 shares of preferred stock in WGI and 23,774 shares of Class B common shares in WGI from the Company for a purchase price of $600,000. <Page> WGI has also agreed to pay profit share in the amount of $1.5 million by December 31, 2005, and enable its store located in the Port Terminal in Barbados (the "Port store"), currently operated by DI, to share in its net operating tax loss carry forwards ("NOL's"). If by December 31, 2005, WGI does not pay the profit sharing amount to DI, or DI has not received a tax benefit equivalent to the agreed upon profit share plus an additional tax benefit of $0.7 million, DI's remedies include converting its preferred shares and/or its Class B Common Shares of WGI into Class A Common Shares at a rate of one for one, and/or purchase all or some Class A Common Shares of WGI at a price of $1 per share resulting in a controlling interest of this subsidiary. As part of the overall Barbados transaction, the Company's Barbados subsidiary and DI entered into a Management Agreement, which provides for DI to manage the Port store and retain all profits associated with such store as a management fee. The Company does not include any results from the operation of the Port store in its consolidated financial statements as of the execution of the management agreement. The profits generated from the Port store are entitled to be offset by WGI's NOL's and the use of such NOL's may be credited towards the profit sharing obligation of WGI as described above. The Company sold to DI a portion of the intercompany debt owed by WGI to L.S. Wholesale, Inc. As more fully described in Note 8, the Company received $2.0 million and sold, assigned and transferred its receivable from WGI to Almod, due December 31, 2003, which is collateralized by the inventory of WGI. Additionally, if this debt is not repaid by its due date, DI will have the option to convert its shares of WGI for a controlling interest of WGI as described above. On July 28, 2000, the Company sold its facility in Philipsburg, St. Maarten, to Almod for $4.5 million and simultaneously entered into a leaseback arrangement for five years with one five year renewal option at market rates. 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On August 15, 2002, TSAC, Corp. ("TSAC"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tiffany & Co., initiated a tender offer for all of the shares of Little Switzerland, Inc. at a price of $2.40 per share. TSAC has twice extended its offer and the current extension is due to expire at the close of business on October 8, 2002. The offer is subject to, among other things, the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares excluding shares beneficially owned by TSAC or its affiliates and Seymour Holtzman or any of Mr. Holtzman's affiliates (the "majority of the minority condition"). The offer was also subject to the tender of at least 90% of the issued and outstanding shares, on a fully-diluted basis, however, immediately prior to the second extension, TSAC waived the 90% requirement. On October 2, 2002, TSAC extended the offer period through October 8, 2002, so that the Company's shareholders would have additional time to tender or withdraw following TSAC's decision to waive the 90% requirement. If a sufficient number of previously tendered shares are withdrawn prior to the October 8 deadline, then the majority of the minority condition may not be satisfied. If all remaining conditions to the tender offer are satisfied or waived and TSAC accepts for payment all shares tendered as of October 8, 2002, after October 8, 2002 and through October 25, 2002, TSAC is expected to commence a subsequent offer period during which time Little Switzerland stockholders who did not previously tender their shares may tender such shares by following the directions in the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal filed with the SEC by TSAC and Tiffany. The Company has filed with the SEC its response to the tender offer on its Schedule 14D-9, as amended. 13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS As discussed in Note 8, the Company maintains a credit facility with Tiffany which allows the Company to borrow up to $2.5 million through April 30, 2006. Interest expense on borrowings from Tiffany during the three months periods ended August 24, 2002 and August 25, 2001 amounted to $31,628 and $49,991, respectively. Additionally, the Company also purchased approximately $240,447 and $0 of merchandise from Tiffany during the three-month periods ended August 24, 2002 and August 25, 2001, respectively. On March 15, 2002, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Richard Sasso, a member of the Company's Board of Directors. In connection with this agreement, Mr. Sasso is to receive the number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to $5,000 divided by the average closing price of the stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceeding March 15, 2002. Additionally, following the commencement of the Company's fiscal year 2003, and each anniversary thereafter, Mr. Sasso is to receive the number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to $20,000 divided by the average closing price of the stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the fiscal year end date. The Company recorded $25,000 of selling, general and administrative expense during the quarter ended August 24, 2002 in connection with this agreement. On October 15, 2001, the Company leased employee housing from the Pepper Brothers Corporation of which Charles M. Pepper, an executive officer and Senior Vice President of Operations of the Company, is a principal. During the quarter ended August 24, 2002, the Company paid $4,200 in rent under the terms of this lease which currently expires on October 14, 2002. On September 16, 2002, the Company renewed this lease for an additional one-year term and is obligated to pay $20,100 through the end of this lease. <Page> ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Quarterly Report contains certain statements that are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate" or similar expressions, which are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters, identify forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results and performance of the Company to differ materially from anticipated future results and performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The future operating results and performance trends of the Company may be affected by a number of factors, including but not limited to the Company's ability to fund its working capital needs, the Company's relationship with its existing lenders, the volume of tourism in the Company's markets, the Company's relationships with its suppliers, the Company's ability to expand and add new product lines, weather in the Company's markets, and economic conditions that affect the buying patterns of the Company's core customer base. In addition to the foregoing, the Company's actual future results could differ materially from forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below and changes in general economic conditions and interest and exchange rates. RECENT EVENTS On August 15, 2002, TSAC, Corp. ("TSAC"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tiffany & Co., initiated a tender offer for all of the shares of Little Switzerland, Inc. at a price of $2.40 per share. TSAC has twice extended its offer and the current extension is due to expire at the close of business on October 8, 2002. The offer is subject to, among other things, the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares excluding shares beneficially owned by TSAC or its affiliates and Seymour Holtzman or any of Mr. Holtzman's affiliates (the "majority of the minority condition"). The offer was also subject to the tender of at least 90% of the issued and outstanding shares, on a fully-diluted basis, however, immediately prior to the second extension, TSAC waived the 90% requirement. On October 2, 2002, TSAC extended the offer period through October 8, 2002, so that the Company's shareholders would have additional time to tender or withdraw following TSAC's decision to waive the 90% requirement. If a sufficient number of previously tendered shares are withdrawn prior to the October 8 deadline, then the majority of the minority condition may not be satisfied. If all remaining conditions to the tender offer are satisfied or waived and TSAC accepts for payment all shares tendered as of October 8, 2002, after October 8, 2002 and through October 25, 2002, TSAC is expected to commence a subsequent offer period during which time Little Switzerland stockholders who did not previously tender their shares may tender such shares by following the directions in the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal filed with the SEC by TSAC and Tiffany. The Company has filed with the SEC its response to the tender offer on its Schedule 14D-9, as amended. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 24, 2002 GENERAL Little Switzerland, Inc. is a leading specialty retailer of brand name watches, jewelry, crystal, china and accessories, operating 20 stores on five Caribbean islands, Florida and Alaska. The Company's primary market consists of vacationing tourists attracted by free-port pricing, duty-free allowances and a wide variety of high quality merchandise. In the first quarter, the Company incurred approximately $150,000 of unexpected costs associated with the TSAC tender offer. These costs have been expensed as part of SG&A in the accompanying financial statements for the period ended August 24, 2002. NET SALES Net sales for the three-month period ended August 24, 2002 were $15.2 million, a 14.4% increase from net sales of $13.3 million for the corresponding period last fiscal year. Net sales for comparable stores increased approximately 9.2% for the quarter ended August 24, 2002 from the corresponding last fiscal quarter. Management considers the Company's first quarter sales performance to be very encouraging in light of current economic conditions, however, sales results fell slightly below management's expectations. Sales in the Aruba market fell well below management's expectations as this market continues to suffer from reduced traffic. This shortfall was partially offset by strong sales increases in the Alaska market, which for the second consecutive year generated solid results. Current year results also benefited from a larger store this year in Ketchikan as a result of a relocation of this store in March. This larger store is reflected in the comparable store sales results. The Company continued to experience strong sales increases in its Barbados location which opened the Company's first Tiffany boutique in December 2001. Sales in this location increased 94% for the quarter and were positively impacted by the addition of the Tiffany boutique as well as the introduction of new premier product lines such as Cartier and Breitling in this market. The substantial increase in sales in this market is also attributable to the fact that prior to the decision to open a Tiffany boutique, this store was primarily merchandised with aged inventory and the Company was considering exiting this location. The Tiffany boutique opened in space that was used by the Company prior to December 1999 to sell fragrances. In December 1999, the Company sold its entire fragrance inventory and due to cash constraints was not able to re-fixture and re-merchandise this space until the opening of the Tiffany boutique two years later. <Page> GROSS PROFIT Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 45.2% for the three month period ended August 24, 2002, compared to 45.6% for the corresponding period last fiscal year. The Company was able to maintain a strong margin for the quarter resulting from new product launches in Alaska, improved product sourcing, and a continued focus on margin at the store level. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the three months ended August 24, 2002 were $7.8 million or approximately 51.0% of net sales compared to $7.4 million or approximately 55.5% of net sales for the corresponding period last fiscal year. The current three month period included approximately $150,000 of costs associated with the TSAC tender offer. Excluding these costs, the Company's SG&A for the three months ended August 24, 2002 were $7.6 million or approximately 50.0% of net sales. Contributing to the decrease in SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales for the three-month period ended August 24, 2002 was the reduction of occupancy costs as a result of the closure of the Company's Gift Market location in St Thomas, the Company's ability to keep corporate salaries fixed, improved control of general expenses and improved productivity of the Alaska market. INTEREST EXPENSE Net interest expense for the three months ended August 24, 2002 was $238,000 compared to $131,000 for the corresponding quarter last fiscal year. The increase in net interest expense reflects the increased levels of borrowings and amortization of costs associated with the new Congress Financial Corporation ("Congress") credit facility. Included in interest expense for the quarters ended August 24, 2002 and August 25, 2001 is $46,235 and $46,235, respectively, of amortization attributable to note payable discount. NET LOSS As a result of the above, the Company reported a net loss of $1.1 million for the three months ended August 24, 2002 compared to a net loss of $1.6 million for the corresponding period last fiscal year. The current year loss includes approximately $150,000 of costs associated with the TSAC tender offer. Excluding these costs, the Company's net loss for the three months ended August 24, 2002 would have been $1.0 million. This reduced loss is a significant improvement over the prior year, although the results did not meet management's goals for the period. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's liquidity needs have been, and are expected to remain, primarily a function of its seasonal working capital requirements and capital expenditure needs, which have increased due to the Company's expansion strategy. Management believes that the Company's financial condition at August 24, 2002 provides sufficient resources to support its current business activities but, it will not provide the needed funds for future expansion. Management believes this future expansion is a critical component if the Company is to operate profitably. The Company has incurred both operating losses and negative cash flows from operations amounting to $4.5 million and $5.5 million for fiscal 2002, and $7.6 million and $6.6 million in fiscal 2001, and $15.5 million and $3.8 million in fiscal 2000, respectively. As of May 25, 2002 and May 26, 2001, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $8.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Although the Company continues to reduce its net loss, the continuing operating losses increases the Company's reliance on its borrowing facility. The Company used cash in operating activities of $1.5 million in the first quarter ended August 24, 2002, compared to $0.9 million in the prior corresponding quarter. The outflow of cash in the first quarter resulted from increased payments to vendors for goods purchased for Alaska attributable to additional stores and further expansion in the Alaska market. Inventories at August 24, 2002, decreased slightly compared to the prior year, despite the addition of two new stores in Key West, an expanded hotel store in Aruba, a new Tiffany Boutique in Barbados, a new Lalique boutique in St. Thomas, and an expanded store location in Ketchikan, Alaska. Currently, the Company's primary needs for working capital are to support its inventory requirements, which with the expansion in Alaska and Key West, remain more constant during the year. In addition, a significant investment in inventory is required at all times in order to meet the demands of customers who, as tourists, require immediate delivery of purchased goods. Management expects that inventory levels will continue to remain constant throughout fiscal 2003, due to the transfer of inventory from Alaska, when its season ends in the fall, to the Caribbean which at that time is beginning to build its inventory for the start of the winter season. On March 22, 2002, the Company established a senior collateralized revolving and term loan credit facility with Congress, which allows the Company to borrow up to $12 million, through March 21, 2005, of which up to $8 million is a revolving loan and $4 million is a term loan, at an interest rate of 2.75% per annum above the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or 0.75% per annum above Prime, plus customary servicing costs and unused facility fees. Amounts advanced to the Company under this credit facility are limited to a stated borrowing base which is calculated as a percentage of certain inventory less specific reserves (as defined in the credit agreement). The Company's receipts are applied daily to the revolver component of the loan requiring the Company to borrow daily to meet cash flow needs. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's U.S. and U.S.V.I. based assets, including all the U.S. and U.S.V.I. based inventory, the pledge of two-thirds of the stock of the Company's foreign subsidiaries and a first priority leasehold mortgage over the St. Thomas building occupied by the Company as its headquarters and main warehouse. <Page> The terms of the Congress facility include customary covenants and events of default. The Congress facility contains a number of covenants that restrict the operations of the Company, including restrictions on, among other things, certain mergers, acquisitions or sales of the Company's assets; cash dividends and other distributions to equity holders; transactions with affiliates; and the incurrence of indebtedness and granting of liens. Further, the Company is required to maintain during a specified period, a minimum net worth the amount of which is determined depending upon the Company's borrowing availability under the facility during such period. The terms of the facility also provide for customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment default, non-compliance with covenants, including the net worth covenant, breach of representations or warranties, material judgments against the Company and bankruptcy. If an event of default occurs, Congress may terminate its lending commitments to the Company and declare the Company's outstanding indebtedness under the credit facility immediately due and payable, together with accrued but unpaid interest and fees. As of August 24, 2002, the Company had utilized $7.8 million of this facility and had approximately $4.2 million of availability remaining. The interest rates in effect at August 24, 2002 were 4.56% on the Eurodollar rate borrowings and 5.5% on the Prime rate borrowings. This facility replaces the Company's previous credit arrangement with Chase which allowed the Company to borrow up to $3.75 million, through June 1, 2002 with an option to extend the facility through November 30, 2002, subject to certain conditions, at an interest rate of 3% per annum above LIBOR. In addition, the Company issued to Chase a warrant to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to 0.31% of the shares of common stock outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis) on the date of exercise for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000. These warrants were exercised in September 2002 in connection with the TSAC tender offer (see Note 12 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). In May 2001, all the Company's then current collateralized indebtedness was refinanced with the proceeds from the transaction with Tiffany which resulted in the Company receiving approximately $8.7 million in equity, net of associated expenses, and a $2.5 million revolving credit facility from Tiffany (collectively, the "Tiffany Transaction") due on or before April 30, 2006. As a result of the Tiffany Transaction, the Company was also able to negotiate a new revolving credit facility with Chase, which was subsequently replaced with the credit facility from Congress. As of August 24, 2002 and May 25, 2002, the Company had utilized $2.5 million of the Tiffany credit facility. In addition to the above credit facilities, in November 2000, the Company completed certain transactions with Almod, which resulted in the Company receiving $2.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of a $2.0 million non[cad 220]interest bearing loan, collateralized by the Company's Barbados inventory. A balloon payment is due on December 31, 2003. If the Company is unable to repay such debt by the due date, Almod will have the right to convert its preferred shares and/or its Class B Common Shares in WGI into Class A stock of WGI at a rate of one for one, or purchase all or some Class A Common Shares, at a price of $1 per share. Interest on the note payable has been imputed at an interest rate of 11.5%, which is a rate commensurate with the Company's then current borrowings, and resulted in $570,000 of original discount. Outstanding borrowings against collateralized credit facilities totaled $12.3 million and $10.7 million, net of unamortized discount, at August 24, 2002 and May 25, 2002, respectively. The weighted average interest rates incurred during fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000 were approximately 7.3%, 10.9% and 9.6%, respectively. Capital expenditures were approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended August 24, 2002, compared to $0.5 million for the corresponding period last year. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. This statement nullifies EITF No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. A liability is incurred as defined in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, "Elements of Financial Statements." SFAS No. 146 is applicable should management decide to close certain stores or restructure the Company. Currently, management has no such plans. SEASONALITY The Company's business is seasonal in nature, reflecting travel patterns to the Caribbean and Alaska. The peak selling season in the Caribbean runs from late Fall through Spring; and the peak selling season for Alaska runs from Spring through Summer. The third quarter of the Company's fiscal year typically represents a proportionally greater percentage of annual sales and cash flow. Management expects such seasonality to continue. RISK FACTORS You should carefully consider the risks described below and other information in this report. The Company's business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected if any of these risks materialize. The trading price of the Company's common stock may also decline due to any of these risks. <Page> THE COMPANY HAS INCURRED SUBSTANTIAL OPERATING LOSSES IN RECENT FISCAL YEARS The Company has incurred substantial operating losses in its recent fiscal years. For the fiscal years ended May 25, 2002, May 26, 2001 and May 27, 2000, the Company's net losses were $4.5 million, $7.6 million and $15.5 million, respectively. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue from operations to cover its costs, its business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. IF SALES FORECASTS ARE NOT MET THE COMPANY MAY NEED TO IMPLEMENT A CONTINGENCY PLAN The Company's current operating plan is based on certain forecasts made by management regarding sales and other operating components. If the Company's actual sales fall substantially below what is forecast due to economic conditions, future terrorist attacks, weather in the Company's markets or other events beyond the Company's control, the Company may need to implement a contingency plan that would include measures to preserve and improve the Company's cash flow such as inventory liquidations and other cost control measures. SHORT-TERM RISK OF DISRUPTION IN TOURISM Due to the events of September 11, 2001 and widespread concern about continuing terrorist acts directed against the United States and foreign citizens, transportation facilities and assets, a substantial risk exists that lower numbers of tourist will be willing to fly or travel on cruise ships during the upcoming tourist seasons. This has impacted the Company's sales performance and profitability for the year ended May 25, 2002. It is likely that this trend will continue at least through October 2002. THERE MAY BE LIMITED LIQUIDITY IN THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK AND ITS PRICE MAY BE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATION The Company's common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to have its common stock listed on an exchange or quoted on Nasdaq or that it will continue to be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading volume in the Company's common stock has historically been low. Accordingly, investments in the Company's common stock may not be liquid, and investors in the Company's common stock must be prepared to bear the economic risks of such investment for an indefinite period of time. THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS DEPENDS ON TOURISM The Company's revenues depend upon tourism in the Caribbean, Alaska and Florida. During periods of economic slowdown, armed conflict or actions by terrorists, fewer tourists may travel to these destinations and, those who do, may make fewer purchases of luxury items. Tourist travel to these destinations depends upon the development of cruise ship, airline and hotel operations, the continued attractiveness of the Caribbean, Alaska and Florida compared to other leisure travel destinations and the efforts of local governments to promote tourism. Other factors such as poor weather, airline strikes, political and economic instability in the Caribbean and the availability of duty-free shopping could also affect tourism. THE COMPANY DEPENDS ON ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH ITS SUPPLIERS The Company's relationships with its merchandise suppliers are an important factor in its business and have allowed the Company to become the exclusive retailer of certain brands of merchandise in its Caribbean, Alaskan and Florida markets. However, the Company does not have binding written agreements with most of its suppliers, so it can provide no assurance that it will remain the exclusive retailer for certain brands or that it will not lose the right to market certain brands altogether. THE COMPANY NEEDS TO EXPAND TO GROW ITS BUSINESS The growth of the Company's business depends in part on the addition of new stores, expansion into other Caribbean islands where the Company does not have stores and the expansion of existing stores and product lines. The Company's ability to expand depends upon many factors, including the availability of financing, the development of tourist facilities in proposed locations, its ability to find suitable retail space, staffing, regulatory restrictions and establishing suppliers. COMPETITION MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS Competition for tourist dollars is intense. The Company's ability to attract customers depends in large part on the location and appearance of its stores, its selection of products and pricing. The Company also competes with stores selling similar products in the United States or in other markets from which tourists have traveled. THE COMPANY MAY NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING The Company may need additional capital to finance its growth and working capital needs. The Company can provide no assurance that it will obtain additional financing sufficient to meet its needs on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise. <Page> THE COMPANY'S SUCCESS DEPENDS ON KEY PERSONNEL The Company's success is dependent upon the efforts of its senior management. Competition for qualified personnel in the retailing industry is intense, and the Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to retain existing personnel or attract and retain additional qualified personnel necessary to manage its business. STOCKHOLDERS ARE UNLIKELY TO RECEIVE DIVIDENDS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock and the Company believes it is highly unlikely that it will pay dividends in the near future. This means that the potential for gain from ownership of the Company's common stock depends on appreciation in its value. CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW MAY AFFECT THE PRICE OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware. Certain provisions of Delaware law applicable to the Company, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control in the Company and may discourage bids for the Company's common stock at a premium over the market price of the Company's common stock. As a result, the price of the Company's common stock may be adversely affected. SEC RULES CONCERNING SALES OF LOW-PRICED SECURITIES MAY HINDER RE-SALES OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK Because the Company's common stock has a market price that is less than five dollars per share, it is not listed on an exchange or quoted on Nasdaq and is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, brokers and dealers who handle trades in the Company's common stock are subject to certain SEC disclosure rules when effecting trades in the Company's common stock, including disclosure of the following: the bid and offer prices of the Company's common stock, the compensation of the brokerage firm and the salesperson handling a trade and legal remedies available to the buyer. These requirements may hinder re-sales of the Company's common stock and may adversely affect its market price. If any circumstances giving rise to the above risks actually occur, there could be a material and adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. The Company's credit facilities have variable interest rates which fluctuate with established market rates. The Company does not believe that such fluctuations will have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
