NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands)
NOTE 1--GENERAL
U.S.A. Floral Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation, ("USA Floral" or the
"Company") was founded in April 1997 to create a worldwide distributor of floral
products. USA Floral acquired eight U.S. businesses in the floral industry (the
"Founding Companies") subsequent to the initial public offering ("IPO") of its
Common Stock in October 1997, acquired six U.S. businesses in the floral
industry (the "January 1998 Class") in January 1998 and acquired eight
businesses in the floral industry (the "April 1998 Class") in April 1998
(together, the "Acquisitions"). These financial statements include the results
of operations of USA Floral, the Founding Companies, the January 1998 Class and
the April 1998 Class subsequent to their acquisition. The Company intends to
continue to acquire, through merger or purchase, similar companies to expand its
international operations. See Note 8 for companies purchased subsequent to June
30, 1998.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
statement of the results for the interim period presented. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.
The unaudited interim financial information contained in the consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements contained in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
NOTE 2--ACQUISITIONS
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in
the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K, USA Floral acquired all the
outstanding stock of the Founding Companies effective October 16, 1997.
Additionally, in January 1998, USA Floral consummated the acquisition of
the following six companies of the January 1998 Class:
Continental Farms Limited ("Continental Farms") and Atlantic Bouquet
Company Limited ("Atlantic Bouquet"), each a Florida limited partnership
are headquartered in Miami, Florida. Prior to their acquisition,
Continental Farms and Atlantic Bouquet were under common ownership.
Continental Farms is an importer and broker of floral products from South
America and Central America and Atlantic Bouquet is a bouquet manufacturer.
Both companies distribute their products throughout the United States and
Canada.
XL Group, Inc. ("XL Group") imports fresh cut floral products from
farms located primarily in Costa Rica, Ecuador and Columbia and
distributes these products to wholesale florists and supermarkets
throughout the United States. XL Group is located in Miami, Florida.
Koehler & Dramm, Inc. ("Koehler & Dramm") is a regional wholesale
florist company serving retailers throughout the upper Midwest United
States. Koehler & Dramm is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota and has
a branch operation in Kansas City, Missouri.
Everflora, Inc. ("Everflora") and Everflora Miami, Inc. ("Everflora
Miami") are importers/brokers of perishable floral products. Everflora,
headquartered in Creskill, New Jersey, sells various types of flowers to
wholesalers across the United States. Everflora Miami, headquartered in
Miami, Florida, sells various types of flowers and bouquets, primarily
imported from Central America and South America.
H&H Flowers, Inc. d/b/a/ La Fleurette ("La Fleurette"), which does
business under the name of "La Fleurette" assembles and sells floral
bouquets and other arrangements to the supermarket industry primarily
throughout the eastern United States. H&H Flowers is headquartered in
Miami, Florida. A member of the Board of Directors of USA Floral was a
stockholder in H&H Flowers.
UltraFlora Corporation ("UltraFlora") imports and sells floral
bouquets and other arrangements to mass markets throughout the United
States and Canada. UltraFlora is headquartered in Miami, Florida. A member
of the Board of Directors of USA Floral was a stockholder in UltraFlora.
The following table sets forth the consideration paid (the "Purchase
Consideration") (a) in cash and (b) in shares of Common Stock to the common
stockholders of each of the January 1998 Class, the estimated fair value of the
net assets acquired and resulting goodwill. For purposes of computing the
purchase price for accounting purposes, the value of shares is based upon an
average share price calculated using the purchase contract formula, which
incorporates the share price at the date of the letter of intent, the date of
the definitive agreement and the average daily share price between the two
aforementioned events. The total Purchase Consideration also reflects the
contingent consideration related to earn-out arrangements included in the
definitive agreement for UltraFlora, which provides for the Company to pay
additional consideration, based on 1997 earnings before interest and taxes, of
approximately $5,892 in shares of Common Stock, calculated by reference to the
average closing price of the Common Stock for each trading day during the thirty
calendar day period ended December 31, 1997. The estimated resultant 359,487
shares will be issued when all amounts have been finalized.
The contingent consideration related to earn-out arrangements included in
the definitive agreement for XL Group has not been included in the Purchase
Consideration. This arrangement provides for the Company to pay additional
consideration, based on 1998 earnings before interest and taxes, of up to $4,000
in shares of Common Stock, calculated by reference to the average closing price
of the Common Stock for each trading day during the thirty calendar day period
ending December 31, 1998. The contingent consideration related to earn-out
arrangements included in the definitive agreement for La Fleurette also has not
been included in the Purchase Consideration. This arrangement provided for the
Company to pay additional consideration, without limit, based on earnings before
interest and taxes for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 1998, in shares of
Common Stock. La Fluerette did not
achieve sufficient earnings before interest and taxes to warrant additional
earn-out consideration.
The purchase price has been allocated to each company's assets and
liabilities based on their respective carrying values, with the exception of
acquired properties at one of the entities, as these carrying values are deemed
to represent fair market value of these assets and liabilities. The fair market
value of acquired properties has been determined via an independent valuation by
a third party. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary, but the
Company does not anticipate that the final allocation of purchase price will
differ significantly from that as described above.

additional consideration, based on earnings before interest and taxes for the
twelve-month period ended May 31, 1998, of approximately $1,465 in shares of

been finalized.
The contingent consideration related to earn-out arrangements included in

The following unaudited pro forma data presents the combined results of
operations of the Company, the April 1998 Class, the January 1998 Class and the
Founding Companies, as if the acquisitions and USA Floral's IPO had occurred at
January 1, 1997. The pro forma amounts give effect to certain adjustments
including amortization of intangibles, interest expense on incremental
financing, reduction in salary, bonuses and benefits in connection with the
transactions, anticipated compensation of USA Floral's management, associated
costs of being a public company and income taxes. The pro forma summary does not
purport to represent what USA Floral's results of operations would actually have
been if such transactions in fact had occurred on January 1, 1997 and are not
necessarily representative of USA Floral's results of operations for any future
period. Since the April 1998 Class, the January 1998 Class and the Founding
Companies were not under common control or management, historical combined
results may not be comparable to, or indicative of, future performance.

NOTE 3 -- CREDIT FACILITY
Effective August 13, 1998, the Company received the commitment of
Bankers Trust Company ("BTCo"), which is the agent bank under its revolving
credit facility, to supplement the Company's existing revolving credit facility
by increasing the aggregate amount that could be borrowed thereunder and by
making available a new term loan facility in the aggregate amount of $50 million
(to be denominated in Deutsche Marks). Under the supplemented
revolving credit facility, the Company would be subject to an aggregate
borrowing limit of $200 million, with a $170 million sub-limit for permitted
acquisitions and a $30 million sub-limit for working capital loans and letters
of credit. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are to bear interest,
at the Company's option, at BTCo's base rate plus an applicable margin of up to
1.O% or at a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin of up to 2.25%.
Borrowings under the term loan facility will bear interest at the interbank rate
for Deutsche Marks plus an applicable margin of up to 2.25%. Both the revolving
credit facility and the term loan facility mature five years from the closing
date.
The entire $50 million proceeds of the new term loan facility and up to
$45 million of the borrowings available under the supplemental revolving credit
facility are to be used to finance the aggregate purchase price of approximately
$90 million (including the assumption of indebtedness) and related transactional
expenses for the purchase of the business of Florimex Worldwide GmbH and related
entities (the "Florimex Transaction"; see Note 8 - Subsequent Events) pursuant
to a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement entered into as of August 12, 1998 among
the Company, Florimex Worldwide GmbH and DIMON Incorporated. The purchase of the
Florimex business is expected to be consummated on or after September 30, 1998.
Prior to the supplement to the existing credit facility noted above, the
Company's Credit Agreement ("Agreement") with various lending institutions and
Bankers Trust Company, as agent, (the "Bank") was a $100 million credit facility
(the "Credit Facility"). The Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility
with a $85 million sub-limit for permitted acquisitions and a $15 million
sub-limit for working capital loans and letters of credit. The proceeds of the
Credit Facility are used to finance acquisitions and fund related working
capital requirements. Amounts outstanding under the Agreement bear interest, at
the Company's option, at either the Bank's base rate plus an applicable margin
of up to 0.625% or a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin of up to 1.875%.
The Company paid on closing a financing fee of $1,769, which has been deferred
and will be amortized over the life of the credit agreement. In addition, a
commitment fee of 0.25% is charged on the unused portion of the revolving credit
facility on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 1998, $72,500 at interest rates
varying from 6.5% to 7.25% were outstanding under the Credit Agreement, which
expires October 16, 2002. At June 30, 1998, letters of credit of $4,100, in the
aggregate, were outstanding.
The Credit Facility is collateralized by receivables, inventories,
equipment and certain real property. Under the terms of the Agreement, the
Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios and other financial and
non-financial conditions. The Agreement prohibits the Company from incurring
additional indebtedness, limits certain investments, advances or loans and
restricts substantial asset sales, capital expenditures and cash dividends. At
June 30, 1998 the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants.
In connection with the acquisitions consummated in July 1998 (the "July
1998 Class"; see Note 8 -- Subsequent Events), the Company borrowed an
additional $21,600 under the revolving credit facility. The interest rate on the
additional borrowing was 7.375%.

The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the
Company's results of operations actually would have been if such transactions
had occurred on January 1, 1997 and is not necessarily representative of the
Company's results of operations for any future period. Since the April 1998
Class, the January 1998 Class and the Founding Companies were not under
common control or management, historical combined results may not be comparable
to, or indicative of, future, performance.
Net Sales. Net sales increased to $277.0 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1998 from $261.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an
increase of $15.3 million or 5.8%. The increase in sales was attributable to an
increase in the volume of flowers sold during the second quarter of 1998
primarily at the companies involved in bouquet manufacturing and distribution.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased to $201.2 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1998 from $190.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 1997,
an increase of $10.5 million or 5.5%, primarily as a result of increased sales.
As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 72.6% for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 72.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Selling General and Administrative. Selling general and administrative
expenses increased to $53.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 1998 from
$49.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $4.0
million or 8.0%. The increase is primarily due to an increase in expenses at
certain of the April class in the three months prior to their acquisition and
increased selling and commissions and other costs associated with the increased
sales at the companies involved in bouquet manufacturing, as well as increased
costs at the company.
Operating Income. As a result of the factors discussed above,
operating income increased to $19.6 million in the six months ended June 30,
1998 from $18.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 1997, a increase of
$0.8 million, or 4.1%. As a percentage of net sales, operating income decreased
to 7.1% in the six months ended June 30, 1998 from 7.2% in the six months ended
June 30, 1997.
Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
- -------------------------------------------------
Except for historical information contained herein, the statements made in this
Form 10-Q, including those with respect to results for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998 as they apply to possible results for the full
fiscal year, and those with respect to the effects of purchasing synergies,
expense reductions, acquisition explorations and marketing and research and
development efforts, as they apply to possible future such synergies,
reductions, exploration efforts or the Company's results therefore constitute
forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Certain
factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
the forward looking statements, including those risks detailed in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 relating to,
among other things: the absence of a combined operating history; the Company's
acquisition strategy; the concentration of flower sales in traditional holiday
periods; the financing of acquisitions; the Company's internal growth and
operating strategies; seasonality, cyclicality, fluctuations in quarterly
operating results, and weather; competition; the amortization of intangible
assets; dependence upon key personnel; and imported products matters. In
addition, results may vary as a result of factors set forth from time to time in
the Company's reports on file at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's principal sources of liquidity have historically been cash flows
from operating activities and borrowings. To date, approximately $127.7 million
has been used to fund the cash portion of the consideration paid in connection
with the acquisitions, including the July 1998 Class.
Effective August 13, 1998, the Company received the commitment of Bankers Trust
Company ("BTCo"), which is the agent bank under its revolving credit facility,
to supplement the Company's existing revolving credit facility by increasing the
aggregate amount that could be borrowed thereunder and by making available a new
term loan facility in the aggregate amount of $50 million (to be denominated in
Deutsche Marks). Under the supplemented revolving credit facility, the Company
would be subject to an aggregate borrowing limit of $200 million, with a $170
million sub-limit for permitted acquisitions and a $30 million sub-limit for
working capital loans and letters of credit. Borrowings under the revolving
credit facility are to bear interest, at the Company's option, at BTCo's base
rate plus an applicable margin of up to 1.0% or at a Eurodollar rate plus an
applicable margin of up to 2.25%. Borrowing under the term loan facility will
bear interest at the interbank rate for Deutsche Marks plus an applicable margin
of up to 2.25%. Both the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility
mature five years from the closing date.
The entire $50 million proceeds of the new term loan facility and up to $45
million of the borrowings available under the supplemental revolving credit
facility are to be used to finance the aggregate purchase price of approximately
$90 million (including the assumption of indebtedness) and related transactional
expenses for the purchase of the business of Florimex Worldwide GmbH and related
entities (the "Florimex Transaction") pursuant to a Stock and Asset Purchase
Agreement entered into as of August 12, 1998 among the Company, Florimex
Worldwide GmbH and DIMON Incorporated. The purchase of the Florimex business is
expected to be consummated on or after September 30, 1998.
The capital expenditures of the Company for the six months ended June 30,
1998 were approximately $1.7 million. These capital expenditures were primarily
for machinery, office equipment and computers, building additions and facility
upgrades. Other than the consummation of the Florimex Tranaction, the Company
currently does not have any commitments to make significant capital expenditures
in the next twelve months. Excluding capital requirements for future
acquisitions, if any, which the Company cannot currently predict, the Company
believes that funds generated from operations, together with borrowings under
the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to finance its current operations and
planned capital expenditure requirement at least through 1998. To the extent
that the Company is successful in consummating future acquisitions, if any, it
may be necessary to finance such acquisitions through the issuance of additional
equity securities, incurrence of indebtedness, or a combination of both.
Although the Company currently does not anticipate any difficulties in obtaining
such financing, if any, no assurances can be made regarding the availability of
additional funds through these financing sources.
