SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS Pet Quarters, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") was organized under the laws of the state of Arkansas on May 22, 1997. The Company sells pet supplies to both retail and wholesale customers through catalogs and e-commerce. In August 1999 the Company purchased Humboldt Industries whose primary business was catalog sales. As a result of this acquisition, the Company has altered its approach by combining a traditional catalog company that is migrating its customer base to the Internet, and expanding its Internet-only customers through the catalog. THE COMPANY HAS SOLD COMMON STOCK IN OFFERINGS THAT WERE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ("SEC"). THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK IS CURRENTLY TRADED ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD. BASIS OF PRESENTATION We have prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods. Our operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for us for the entire year because of seasonal and short-term variations. For further information, you should refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2000. CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly owned subsidiaries, which include Chartendure Limited, WeRPets.com, Inc., PQ Acquisition Company, Inc. (the survivor of Humboldt and Maplewood acquisitions), Wellstone Acquisition Corporation and Allpets.com, Inc. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, principally determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market. Inventory at September 30, 2000 and 1999, consists of pet supplies purchased for retail sale. PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets, which range from five years for furniture and equipment. The land and building in Lonoke, Arkansas is being held for sale, and the building is not currently being depreciated. INCOME TAXES The Company provides for income taxes based on the liability method. No benefit for income taxes has been made due to net operating loss carryforwards that may offset future taxable income. 6 7 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The company records stock based compensation using provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, for the preparation of its basic consolidated financial statements. Such provisions require the company to recognize compensation cost over the vesting period for the difference between the quoted market price of an award at the date of grant and the purchase or exercise price of the shares. GOODWILL The excess of acquisition costs over the fair values of net assets acquired in business combinations treated as purchase transactions ("goodwill") is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated life, 2 to 5 years currently. The Company periodically evaluates the existence of goodwill impairment on the basis of whether the goodwill is fully recoverable from the projected undiscounted net cash flows of the related business unit. The amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of funds. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives, ranging from 3 to 5 years. Intangible assets at June 30, 2000 and 1999 primarily consist of web site development costs and trademarks. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company's services are provided primarily to customers throughout the United States. The Company receives payment largely by customers' use of credit cards for internet and catalog sales and, for sales by Humboldt to pet care professionals and veterinarians, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and generally does not require collateral. Historically, credit losses have been within management's expectations. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment of merchandise, net of an allowance for estimated customer returns. SHIPPING AND HANDLING Fees received from shipping and handling activities are included as revenue. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included as a component of cost of goods sold. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS The Company accounts for any impairment of its long-lived assets using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". Under SFAS No. 121, impairment losses are recognized when information indicates the carrying amount of long-lived assets, identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets will not be recovered through future operations or sale. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 7 8 NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"): Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 1999 ------------ ------------ Numerator: Net loss and numerator for basic and diluted loss per share $ (3,176,726) $ (1,260,360) ============ ============ Denominator: Denominator for basic earning per share -- weighted-average shares 18,582,182 10,701,162 ============ ============ Employee stock options -- -- Warrants -- -- Contingent shares -- -- Dilutive potential common shares -- -- ------------ ------------ Denominator for diluted earnings per share -- adjusted 18,582,182 10,701,162 ============ ============ weighted-average Basic loss per share $ (0.17) $ (0.12) ============ ============ Diluted loss per share $ (0.17) $ (0.12) ============ ============ The effect of all potential common shares is anti-dilutive in the calculation of diluted loss per share and therefore have been excluded from the calculation. NOTE 3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company's Board of Directors has given approval to the establishment of a Management Incentive Plan under which shares of the Company's stock are granted to employees. The shares are restricted for one year following the date of grant. NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS HUMBOLDT AND MAPLEWOOD On August 1, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Humboldt Industries, Inc. and Maplewood Industries, Inc., both of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, for $4.6 million cash and 1,146,417 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $4.6 million on the date of the acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction and resulted in the recording of approximately $8.3 million of goodwill. Goodwill is being amortized over a five-year life. The acquisition was financed through a Bridge Loan in the amount of $4.6 million. This bridge loan was extended in November 1999 and subsequently repaid in February and May 2000. WELLSTONE ACQUISITION CORPORATION On March 6, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Wellstone Acquisition Corporation ("Wellstone") in exchange for 130,208 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $557,453 ($4.28 per share) on the date of acquisition. In addition, the Company paid professional and legal fees of $225,000 in conjunction with this transaction. The acquisition was made pursuant to rule 12g-3(a) of the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This rule allows nonreporting entities to acquire fully reporting entities and thereby become fully reporting. The Company made this acquisition in order to become fully reporting. It was subsequently determined that the Company could not utilize 8 9 rule 12g-3(a) to become fully reporting. The Company had not identified an alternative use for Wellstone and has therefore expensed the entire cost of $782,453 during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 as a component of general and administrative expense. WERPETS.COM On April 27, 2000 the Company acquired WeRPets.com, Inc. for 703,316 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $2,461,606 ($3.50 per share) on the date of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction and resulted in the recording of approximately $2.5 million of goodwill. Goodwill is being amortized over a three-year life. CHARTENDURE On May 1, 2000 the Company acquired Chartendure, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom, for 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $725,000 ($1.81 per share) on the date of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction and resulted in the recording of approximately $725,000 of goodwill. Goodwill is being amortized over a two-year life. ALLPETS.COM On May 30, 2000 the Company acquired AllPets.com, Inc. through the exchange of 3,652,785 shares of the Company's common stock and 1,105,250 stock options. The stock and stock options exchanged were valued based on the closing price of $1.875 on May 30, 2000, resulting in a purchase price of $8.6 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction and resulted in the recording of approximately $7.9 million of goodwill. Goodwill is being amortized over a three-year life. In addition to the shares exchanged above, the Company may be required to issue up to 1,189,479 additional shares of common stock if contingencies related to the achievement of certain stock price appreciation targets and listing of the Company's stock on the NASDAQ are achieved. NOTE 5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY PREFERRED STOCK The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. On May 9, 2000 the Company designated 50,000 share of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Stock"), the Company subsequently issued 34,642 shares of Series A Stock for total consideration of $3,464,200, consisting of $2,055,700 in cash and $1,408,500 as payment on the Bridge Loan (see Note 9). The acquisition of these bridge loan interests effectively retired an equivalent amount of principal on the bridge loan. The Series A Stock has the following terms, rights, and privileges: a) Dividends - The holders of the Series A Stock are not entitled to receive dividends from the Company. b) Liquidation - Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Stock shall be entitled, before any distribution or payment is made upon any shares of any other class of stock of the Company, to be paid $100 per share (the purchase price of the Series A Stock). c) Redemption - Subject to certain conditions and one year after the initial date of issuance, the Series A Stock may be redeemed (all or none) at the Company's option upon the payment in cash of the sum of $100 per share. d) Conversion - At any time, holders of the Series A Stock may convert all or a portion of those shares into a number of shares of common stock, computed by multiplying the number of shares to be converted by $100 and dividing the result by the conversion price. The conversion price is equal to $1.3816. The conversion price may be adjusted from time to time to account for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, mergers, assets sales, or similar events. A preferred stock deemed dividend in the amount of $3.4 million was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to reflect the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature available to preferred shareholders and the fair value of the associated warrants at the date of issuance. 9 10 STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS On February 23, 2000 the Company issued warrants to purchase 169,200 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $4.52 in conjunction with the private placement of approximately $3 million of common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire three years from the date of issuance. These warrants were accounted for as a cost of capital and were recorded as equity. On March 15, 2000 the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,320,000 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $3.92 in conjunction with the $25 million Equity Line of Credit. The warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire three years from the date of issuance. These warrants will be accounted for as a cost of capital. On May 2, 2000 the Company issued warrants to purchase 54,237 shares of common stock at an purchase price of $2.03 in conjunction with the $1 million Convertible Debenture. The warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire three years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants was accounted for as a discount on the debt issued and is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the agreement. On May 8, 2000 the Company issued warrants to purchase 3,464 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $100 per share. The shares may be converted into a maximum of 250,724 shares of common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire three years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants was accounted for as a "Deemed Dividend" in conjunction with the beneficial conversion feature. 10 11 NOTE 6. NOTES AND CAPITAL LEASES PAYABLE SEPTEMBER 30 2000 JUNE 30 (Unaudited) 2000 ------------ ------------ Unsecured note payable to Pine Tree Management Corporation with variable interest of prime minus 1% (8.5% at June 30, 2000), interest payable quarterly beginning September 10, 1999 with $45,000 principal payment due September 15, 2000 and 2001 $ 45,000 $ 90,000 Capital lease payable to a leasing company due in monthly installments of $5,096 until May 2003 with no stated interest rate. The lease is guaranteed by a stockholder -0- 153,147 Capital lease payable to a leasing company due in monthly installments of $3,332 until December 2004 with no stated interest rate. The lease is guaranteed by a stockholder -0- 143,552 ------------ ------------ 45,000 386,669 Less current portion 125,763 ------------ ------------ $ 45,000 $ 260,936 ============ ============ The Company has a $950,000 line of credit agreement, which expires October 10, 2000. At September 30, 2000 there was $700,000 outstanding under this agreement. On October 10, 2000, the Company extended its line of credit agreement to January 10, 2001. At September 30, 2000, the Company had $495,178 in related party debt as compared to $615,178 as of June 30, 2000. NOTE 7. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE On May 5, 2000, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 pursuant to the terms of a 6% convertible debenture. The convertible debenture requires the Company to make quarterly interest payments, beginning August 5, 2000, and the full amount of the loan is due and payable on November 5, 2000. The debenture is convertible, at the option of holder, into a minimum of 666,666 shares of the Company's common stock at a rate of $1.50 per share or 85% of the average price of the lowest three days during the last twenty-two days prior to notice of the conversion. The proceeds from the debenture were used to retire the Bridge Loan. Non-cash interest expense in the amount of $290,000 was recorded at the date of issuance due to the beneficial conversion feature included in this debenture. In conjunction with this debenture, the Company initially issued stock purchase warrants for the purchase of up to 54,237 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.03 per share. Accordingly, $60,000 of the proceeds from the lender has been allocated to the warrants, based on their estimated fair market value at issuance. The beneficial conversion feature and stock purchase warrants have been accounted for as a debt discount on the convertible debentures. The debt discount is being amortized over the term of the convertible debenture and is recognized in the Statement of Operations as additional interest expense. In November 2000, this convertible debenture was extended to May 5, 2001 and its conversion price was lowered to $1.00. At the same time, 130,000 other warrants provided to the lender were reduced to $1.00 from $4.65. NOTE 8. EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT On March 15, 2000, the Company entered into an equity line of credit agreement with Splendid Rock Holdings, Ltd., whereby the Company may sell or "put", from time to time, up to an aggregate of $25 million of common stock at a price equal to 85% of the average market price of the common stock as defined by the Line of Credit Agreement. The maximum dollar amount of shares that may be put is subject to certain volume and timing restrictions. Through September 30, 2000, the Company had issued 750,000 of shares of common stock pursuant to this agreement. In conjunction with this agreement the Company issued to Splendid Rock Holdings, Inc. warrants to purchase up to 1,320,000 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $3.84. As currently structured, the Company will account for the value of the 11 12 warrants issued ($1,774,000) as a cost of the issuance of common stock and, accordingly, this is not expected to impact future results of operations. NOTE 9. OPERATING SEGMENTS Prior to the purchase of Humboldt Industries effective August 1, 1999, the Company operated in one segment - internet sales of pet supplies. Beginning August 1, 1999, the Company began, through the purchase of Humboldt Industries, a catalog segment. Information on the operating segments for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 is as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 1999 ------------ ------------ Net Sales: Internet $ 307,625 $ 70,655 Catalog 3,665,709 2,440,097 ------------ ------------ Total $ 3,973,334 $ 2,510,752 ============ ============ Loss from operations: Internet $ (2,042,931) $ (338,937) Catalog (1,047,805) 158,136) ------------ ------------ Total $ (3,090,736) $ (497,073) ============ ============ Although the Company sells the same product at the same price to retail customers through the internet and catalog segments, the means of selling is different with the internet segment having the potential for a much broader distribution with far more customers that can be reached through the traditional catalog distribution. Revenues by geographical location of customer is not practical to determine. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The following discussion and analysis contains some forward-looking statements, which are based upon our plans, goals, and objectives for Pet Quarters, Inc. and its management. Such statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including our inability to secure ongoing financing. The most important risk concerns the cash to operate the businesses of Pet Quarters, Inc. We have additional loans, some of which are demand loans, which could require additional infusions of capital. Our longer-term development plans also require additional capital for completion. Consequently, the reader should consider that such uncertainties and risks may cause actual results to vary materially from the stated plans, goals, and objectives outlined below. Unless otherwise indicated, this discussion covers the period beginning on July 1, 2000 and concluding on September 30, 2000. Assets: The total assets as of September 30, 2000 were $20,155,076 as compared to $21,846,952 as of June 30, 2000. This is an 8% decrease, which reflects the goodwill that was amortized during the quarter. We had current assets of $3,005,069 including cash of $211,439, inventories of $1,517,685, prepaid expenses of $462,202 and land and building held for sale of $500,000 as of September 30, 2000 as compared to current assets of $3,302,340 including cash of $164,128, inventories of $1,674,002, prepaid expense of $637,425 and building and land held for sale of $500,000 as of June 30, 2000. We have listed the facility in Lonoke, Arkansas for $650,000. The purchase of Humboldt Industries eliminated the original purpose of the facility, and the Company is prepared to sell the Lonoke facility. Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, was $16,149,783 as of September 30, 2000 as compared to $17,524,514 as of June 30, 2000. The reduction in goodwill reflects the quarterly amortization of goodwill resulting from the purchase of Humboldt Industries, WeRPets.com, Chartendure Ltd., and AllPets.com. We are amortizing these acquisitions on schedules that vary between two and five years. Intangible assets in the amount of $513,662 as of September 30, 2000 include capitalized costs associated with our website as compared to $506,227 as of June 30, 2000.

Stockholders equity: Common shares increased from 18,147,783 as of June 30, 2000 to 19,857,648 as of September 30, 2000. Most of the increase is the result of the issuance of an additional 694,184 shares under the terms of a prior stock issuance in February, 2000, and the result of 750,000 shares issued pursuant to a "put" arrangement and the release of 238,095 shares which were held in escrow from a February, 2000 agreement. Both of these transactions have been described in prior Company filings. Total shareholder equity was $14,664,789 as compared to $16,444,458 as of June 30, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources: Recently, we obtained additional loans to provide for our cash deficiency. We believe accessing the capital markets through our equity line of credit will be necessary to fund operations over the near-term. Sales: Sales increased to $3,973, 334 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $2,510,752 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This is a 58% increase. This resulted from the fact that the quarter ended in 1999 included two months of sales from the purchase of Humboldt Industries, and the internet sales for the September 2000 quarter was $307,625 as compared to $70,655 for the September 1999 quarter. Cost of Sales: Cost of sales increased from $2,816,009 as of September 30, 2000 as compared to $1,678,207 as of September 30, 1999. This is a 68% increase and is the result of the increase in sales described above and our free shipping policy on orders placed online. Gross margin: Our gross margins declined to 29% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 33% for the same period in 1999. The lower margins are a direct result of increasing online sales. We believe gross margins will be stable throughout the year. Selling expenses: Selling expenses of $848,354 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 compare with $375,449 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The majority of the selling expenses were attributed to the cost of the catalogs. Administrative and general expenses increased to $1,969,431 during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $642,206 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This increase can be partially attributed to the purchases of Humboldt Industries, WeRPets.com, Chartendure Ltd., and AllPets.com. Additionally, amortization from stock and option grants and expenses from day-to-day operations of our business are included in the total. Recently, we have reduced payroll expenses and believe other reductions will occur during the remainder of the fiscal year. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the quarter were $1,430,276 as compared to $311,963 in the quarter ended September 30, 2000. These items include amortizations of Humboldt Industries, WeRPets.com, Chartendure, Ltd., and AllPets.com. The amortizations are expected to continue for two to four more years. Interest expense was $91,174 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $111,616 for the same period in 1999. Interest expense was reduced after the Sun Valley Trust note was retired in May 2000. Income tax benefit: We currently have substantial net operating losses (NOL'S) from inception through September 30, 2000. At this time, no income tax benefit has been recognized. Net loss: We had a $3,176,726 loss for the quarter as compared to $1,260,360 loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. Non-cash items include the goodwill amortization of Humboldt Industries, WeRPets.com, Chartendure Ltd., and AllPets.com, depreciation expense, and stock compensation expense. Recent Events: Several of our online competitors have announced they are ending operations. Management believes the online customers of these companies will search for an alternate provider of online pet supplies and accessories. We are actively pursuing these new customers, however there is no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts. 13 14 PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
