NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 29, 1995
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
thirteen week period ended April 29, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending February 3, 1996, due
to the seasonal nature of the retail department store business. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
January 28, 1995.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Results of Operations
Net sales for the first quarter ended April 29, 1995 decreased 7.9%, to
$23,600,000 from $25,600,000, for the first quarter last year. A slowdown
in consumer spending and cool spring weather were the primary reasons for
the decrease in sales during the first quarter.
Gross margins decreased $1,279,000, or 17.4%, for the first quarter when
compared to last years first quarter. As a percent of sales, margins were
25.8% compared to last year's 28.8%. Increased markdowns needed to clear
out fall and winter clearance inventory, and the decrease in sales were the
contributing factors to the lower gross margins.
Operating expenses decreased $154,000, or 1.9%, in the quarter compared to
the comparable quarter last year. Operating expenses as a percent of sales
increased to 33.3% compared with 31.3% for the first quarter last year due
to the decrease in sales. The major components contributing to the lower
operating expenses were advertising related costs, down $23,000, or 3.3%,
supply costs, down $36,000, or 14.9%, depreciation charges, down $125,000,
or 26.9%, property taxes, down $35,000, or 11.8%, and equipment rental
charges, down $56,000, or 51.9%. The equipment rental charge decrease was
due to the Company's main frame computer becoming owned property at the
expiration of the lease in February, 1995. Payroll costs for the first
quarter increased $189,000, or 5.8%, representing the largest increase in
any expense category.
Interest expense charges increased $21,000, or 5.8%, due primarily to higher
interest rates during the first quarter of 1995 compared to last years first
quarter.
For the first quarter ended April 29, 1995, the Company recorded a net loss
of $2,094,000, or $2.00 per share, compared with a net loss of $964,000, or
$0.91 per share, for the first quarter ended April 30, 1994.
Since the Company has fully exhausted all tax loss carrybacks and is in a
net operating loss carryforward position, it was unable to tax effect the
losses in either years first quarter, thus pre-tax and after-tax results are
the same.
Financial Condition
For the first quarter ended April 29, 1995, net cash used by operating
activities was $1,444,000, compared with cash used of $1,085,000 for the
quarter ended April 30, 1994. The decrease is due primarily to the increase
in the first quarter loss and lower depreciation charges.
Capital expenditures of $53,000 in the quarter ended April 29, 1995,
compared with $31,000 last year, accounted for the cash used in investment
activities. A decrease in payments on the Company's short term line of
credit during the first quarter, compared with last year's first quarter,
resulted in an increase in cash provided by financing activities.
The Company generated positive cash flow of $49,000 for the first quarter
compared with negative cash flow of $263,000 during last year's first
quarter.
The Company's working capital position has remained unchanged as of April
29, 1995 when compared to April 30, 1994 and is lower than January 28, 1995.
Working capital was $6,500,000 at April 29, 1995 compared with $6,400,000
and $8,100,000 at April 30, 1994 and January 28, 1995, respectively.
OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
On May 17, 1995 the Company announced it had reached an agreement with
Schottenstein Professional Asset Management Corporation and Schottenstein
Stores Corporation to repurchase their equity interests in the Company.
Specifically, the Schottenstein group has agreed to sell back to the Company
the 96,936 shares of Common Stock it presently owns at a price of $4.50 per
share, and to cancel and surrender its option to purchase 198,000 shares of
Common Stock in exchange for a payment of $4.00 per share ($4.50 less the
option exercise price of $0.50 per share). The total cost to the Company
to fund this repurchase will be $1,228,212, which will be provided by the
Company's existing credit facility with Congress Financial Corporation,
which has approved the repurchases.
Also, The Company recently extended the lease on it's Birmingham store
through January, 1997 at the current rental level. The lease was due to
expire in July, 1995. Additionally, Greyhound Lines Inc., a tenant in the
Company's corporate office building, recently notified the Company of its
intention to vacate the premises as of April 30, 1995. It is the Company's
plan to re-lease or sell that portion of the building.
