NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of National Record Mart, Inc. (the "Company") and subsidiary are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, they include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. All adjustments made for the second quarter ended September 27, 1997 were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the second quarter ended September 27, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 28, 1998. Additional information is contained in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 29, 1997, included in the Company's Form 10K and should be read in conjunction with this quarterly report. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, National Record Mart Investments, Inc., a Delaware holding company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. NOTE 2 - SEASONALITY The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with the highest sales and earnings occurring in the third quarter of its fiscal year, which includes the Christmas selling season. NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES The Company provides for income taxes in interim periods on an estimated basis. For the second quarter ended September 27, 1997 and September 28, 1996, the effective income tax rate is 36%. NOTE 4 - REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY Effective June 11, 1993 the Company obtained a five-year revolving credit facility from a lender (the "Agreement"). The maximum borrowings under the Agreement are based upon eligible inventory as defined therein, and may not exceed $26 million. The interest rate is the bank's borrowing rate (8.50% at September 27, 1997) plus .50% or Libor (5.6563% at September 27, 1997) plus 2.75%. The Company is required to pay a monthly commitment fee at the rate of .25% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Various covenants in the Agreement require the Company, among other things, to maintain certain financial ratios, limit capital expenditures and additional indebtedness, and to prohibit dividend distributions. Borrowings are collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company, including inventory, property and equipment. 6 7 NATIONAL RECORD MART, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) CONTINUED NOTE 5 - ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and the related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options is greater than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized. ITEM 2- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report and with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 29, 1997 ("fiscal 1997") included in the Company's Form 10K. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET SALES: The Company's net sales increased during the second quarter (ended September 27, 1997) of the Company's fiscal year ending March 28, 1998 ("fiscal 1998") by $2.7 million, or 12.7%, over the second quarter of fiscal 1997. Net comparable store sales for the second quarter were up 15.6% or $3.1 million. The increase in total sales were attributable to the 15.6% increase in same store sales, partially offset by having two less stores than in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. Sales for the twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 1997 increased $3.5 million or 8.6%. Net comparable store sales for the twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 1997 were up 10.8% or $4.1 million compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 1996. The comparative store sales increases were primarily due to the increased performance of stores renovated in the prior year, increase in product selection, the Company's marketing efforts and consumer demand. GROSS PROFIT: While gross profit increased $0.9 million or 10.9% from the same quarter in the previous year, as a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 37.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from 38.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. Gross profit for the twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 1997 was 38.0% compared to 38.5% for the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 1996. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales is related to the continued shift from sales of higher margin cassettes to lower margin compact discs. EXPENSES: Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, expressed as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 37.9% or $9.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from 40.9% or $8.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. SG&A expenses, expressed as a percentage of sales decreased to 39.0% for the twenty six weeks ended September 27, 1997 from 41.8% for the twenty six weeks ended September 28, 1996. The decrease expressed as a percentage of sales is attributable to the closing of under-performing stores and comparable store sales increases. Interest expense increased to $487,602 in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from $459,281 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase is due to an increase in borrowings, as the Company's revolving line of credit increased to $24.5 million from $21.9 million for the same period in the prior year. 7 8 ITEM 2- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) NET LOSS: The Company had a net loss of ($0.8) million, or ($0.16) per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to a net loss of ($1.1) million, or ($0.22) per share, in the same quarter of fiscal 1997. The net loss for the twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 1997 was ($1.7) million, or ($0.35) per share, compared to ($2.4) million, or ($0.49) per share, for the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 1996. The reduction of the net loss is primarily attributable to the increase in comparative store sales and the closing of underperforming stores. INCOME TAXES: The Company's effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 and 1997 was 36%. As of September 27, 1997 the Company had net deferred tax assets of $1,512,000. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the taxable income in the three previous tax years to which tax loss carrybacks can be applied. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, taxable income in the carryback period, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the first six months of fiscal 1998 and 1997 the Company had net cash used by operating activities of $2.4 million and $2.9 million, due primarily to its net loss and increases in operating assets in excess of operating liabilities. The Company made capital expenditures during the first six months of fiscal 1998 of $1.1 million, relating to store equipment, fixtures and leaseholds for five new stores as well as for one expansion and one relocation. The Company has a five-year revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") from an institutional lender. Advances under the Revolver bears interest at a floating rate equal to the lender's base rate (8.50% at September 27, 1997) plus .50% or Libor rate (5.6563% at September 27, 1997) plus 2.75%. Management believes that cash flows from operations and amounts available under the Revolver will be sufficient to meet the Company's current liquidity and capital needs at least through fiscal 1998.
