NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 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 July 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.
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Results of Operations
For the second quarter ended July 29, 1995, a net loss of $907,004 was
recorded, compared with a net loss of $581,402 for the second quarter last
year. Net loss per share for the quarter was $0.95 compared with a net loss
per share of $0.57 for the same period last year. For the six months ended
July 29, 1995, the net loss was $3,001,176, compared with $1,545,898
recorded for the first six months last year. The net loss per share for the
six months ended July 29 1995 was $3.16 compared with a net loss of $1.52
per share last year.
Total and comparable store sales for the second quarter decreased 2.0% to
$21,363,131 from $21,795,963 for the same period last year. For the six
month period, net sales were $44,956,521, a decrease of 5.2% from the
$47,426,855 recorded last year.
Gross margins for the quarter declined $685,000, or 9.0%, when compared to
last year's second quarter. Margins, as a percent of sales, were 32.5% for
the second quarter compared with 35.0% for the same period last year. Year
to date margin dollars have decreased $1,964,000, or 13.1%, and as a percent
of sales are 29.0% compared with 31.6% for the same period last year.
Included in margins, and accounting for a majority of the margin decline for
the second quarter, was an additional inventory shrinkage accrual resulting
from a mid-year inventory the Company performed in July. The additional
accrual approximated $450,000, or $0.47 per share, in the second quarter
ended July 29, 1995 and was approximately $290,000, or $0.31 per share,
greater than last year's charge for the second quarter.
Operating expenses decreased $274,000, or 3.5%, for the second quarter.
Expenses as a percent of sales amounted to 35.4% in the quarter compared
with 36.0% for the second quarter last year. The expense categories that
contributed to the second quarter decrease were insurance, depreciation
charges, and equipment rental. Insurance costs decreased $50,000, or 20.2%,
for the second quarter while depreciation charges declined $113,000, or
25.4%. Equipment rental charges were down $61,000, or 55.7%, due to the
Company's mainframe computer becoming owned property at the expiration of
the lease in February 1995. Expenses for the six months ended July 29, 1995
have decreased $428,000. Operating expenses as a percent of sales, for the
six months, were 34.3% compared with 33.4% for the comparable period last
year. The higher expense ratio is the result of the lower sales.
Interest expense charges have increased for the second quarter and six month
periods ended July 29, 1995 due primarily to higher interest rates on the
Company's short term borrowings.
The increase in other income for the quarter was generated from a lease
termination settlement with a former tenant in the Company's corporate
office building.
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 year's second quarter and six month periods, thus pre-tax
and after-tax results are the same.
Financial Condition
Net cash used in operating activities declined slightly for the six months
ended July 29, 1995 when compared with the same period last year. Net cash
used in operating activities amounted to $1,775,000 compared to $1,923,000
last year. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in
inventory and a corresponding smaller decrease in accounts payable for the
period.
Net cash used in investment activities declined slightly for the six months
ended July 29, 1995 due to a decrease in capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities declined slightly for the six
months ended July 29, 1995 compared to the same period last year due to a
wider variance between proceeds and payments on the revolving line of
credit, but offset by the previously announced repurchase of outstanding
stock and stock options from one of the Company's primary shareholders. The
borrowings outstanding on the Company's short term credit facility were
slightly higher at July 29, 1995 than at July 30, 1994.
Working capital was $4,466,000 at July 29, 1995 compared with $8,143,000 at
January 28, 1995 and $6,297,000 at July 30, 1994. The decrease in working
capital when compared with the second quarter of last year is primarily due
to a decrease in inventory levels and accounts receivable.
