CROWN CRAFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
applicable to interim financial information and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, such interim consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Crown
Crafts, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 29, 2002 and the results of
its operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 29,
2002 and December 30, 2001 and its cash flows for the nine-month
periods ended December 29, 2002 and December 30, 2001. Such adjustments
include normal recurring accruals and a pro rata portion of certain
estimated annual expenses. Operating results for the three- and
nine-month periods ended December 29, 2002 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
March 30, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2002 of the Company.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In July 2001, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 141, Business
Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS
141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and eliminates
the use of the pooling-of-interests method. The application of SFAS 141
did not affect any of the Company's previously reported amounts
included in goodwill or other intangible assets. SFAS 142 requires that
the amortization of goodwill cease prospectively upon adoption and
instead, the carrying value of goodwill be evaluated using an
impairment approach. Identifiable intangible assets will continue to be
amortized over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. SFAS 142 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and was
implemented by the Company on April 1, 2002. Beginning in fiscal 2003,
the Company discontinued amortizing goodwill but continued to amortize
other long-lived intangible assets. The Company has performed a
transitional fair value based impairment test on its goodwill in
accordance with SFAS 142 and has determined that the fair value
exceeded the recorded value at April 1, 2002. Following is a
reconciliation of previously reported net income and basic and diluted
net income per share to the amounts that would have been reported if
SFAS 142 had been effective as of April 2, 2001 and the amortization of
goodwill had been discontinued as of that date.

=========== =========== ============ ============
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Although SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, it retains most of the concepts of
that standard, except that it eliminates the requirement that goodwill
be allocated to long-lived assets for impairment testing purposes and
it requires that a long-lived asset to be abandoned or exchanged for a
similar asset be considered held and used until it is disposed of
(i.e., the depreciable life should be revised until the asset is
actually abandoned or exchanged). Also, SFAS 144 includes the basic
provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30,
Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal
of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions, for presentation of discontinued
operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation to
include a component of an entity rather than a segment of a business,
where that component can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the
entity. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001 and was implemented by the Company on April 1, 2002. The
adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a significant effect on the Company's
financial statements on the date of adoption.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections. SFAS 145 provides, among other things, that gains on the
extinguishments of debt will generally no longer be classified as
extraordinary items in the statements of operations. It also provides
that gains on extinguishments be reclassified in prior years financial
statements presented for comparative purposes. SFAS 145 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 with earlier adoption
encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS 145 effective July 1, 2002. The
adoption of SFAS 145 required that a gain on debt refinancing of $25
million realized in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 be reclassified
into income before extraordinary items.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities, which is effective for fiscal years
after December 31, 2002. SFAS 146 requires companies to recognize costs
associated with restructurings, discontinued operations, plant
closings, or other exit or disposal activities, when incurred rather
than at the date a plan is committed to. The Company is presently
reviewing this statement and plans to adopt it as of its effective date
and will implement its provisions on a prospective basis. The Company
does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123. SFAS 148 amends FASB 123 to provide alternative
methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In
addition, FASB 148 amends the disclosure requirements of FASB 123 to
require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial
statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.
SFAS 148 is effective for the Company's fiscal period ending March 30,
2003 and management is in the process of evaluating this new standard.
A-7
Reclassifications: Certain prior period financial statement balances
have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
2. Segment and Related Information: In 1999, the Company adopted SFAS
131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information. At the date of adoption, the Company's principal segments
included adult home furnishing and juvenile products, consisting of
bedroom and bath products (adult comforters, sheets and towels), throws
and juvenile products (primarily Pillow Buddies(R)). An additional
segment was infant products, consisting of infant bedding, bibs, and
infant soft goods. Following the sale of the Adult Bedding and Bath
business as of July 23, 2001 as described in Note 4 below, the Company
is primarily in the infant and juvenile products business.
Financial information attributable to the Company's business segments
for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 29, 2002 and
December 30, 2001 was as follows (in thousands):

========== =========
Inventory is net of reserves for inventories classified as irregular or
discontinued of $2.1 million and $2.2 million at December 29, 2002 and
March 31, 2002, respectively.
4. Discontinuance of Certain Businesses: During the quarter ended July
1, 2001, the Company sold property, plant and equipment (primarily at
Timberlake, North Carolina) with net proceeds of $9.2 million and a
gain on sale of $802,000. The net proceeds were used to reduce debt.
As part of the plan to reduce debt and restore profitability, the
Company made a decision to exit the Adult Bedding and Bath Business,
and its net assets related to that business of $12.4 million were sold
effective July 23, 2001. Proceeds of the sale were $8.5 million cash
plus the assumption of liabilities of $3.4 million as well as the
assumption of certain contingent liabilities. Cash from the sale was
used to reduce debt. The sale included inventory, buildings, machinery
and equipment located at Roxboro, North Carolina as well as various
sales offices. The Adult Bedding and Bath Business had annual sales of
approximately $24.8 million and $76.5 million in fiscal 2002 and fiscal
2001, respectively, and was included in the adult home furnishing and
juvenile products segment. The Adult Bedding and Bath Business includes
the remainder of the bedroom products group following the sale of the
Wovens division.
5. Restructuring Charge: In December 2002, the Company adopted a formal
plan to change its sourcing strategy for certain products and close the
Mexican manufacturing facility operated by its majority-owned
subsidiary, Burgundy Interamericana ("Burgundy"). This decision was
based on extensive research by management which indicated that, due to
lower wages and the elimination of the quota on bibs, outsourcing the
supply of products currently manufactured by Burgundy to Asian
manufacturers was more cost effective and competitive than maintaining
existing operations in Mexico. Under the plan, Burgundy will continue
to operate through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003, at which
time the Company will begin to liquidate Burgundy's assets. As a result
of the decision, the Company recorded a $1.8 million restructuring
charge to operations in the quarter ended December 29, 2002, which
consists primarily of a write-down of the property and equipment at the
Mexican facility of approximately $800,000, inventory items deemed to
be in excess of production requirements of approximately $600,000, an
accrual for contractual termination benefits of approximately $300,000
due Burgundy's entire workforce (approximately 130 employees) under the
provisions of Mexico's labor regulations and the write-off of goodwill
of approximately $60,000. The Company expects to pay approximately 65%
of the severance benefits in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 and
the remaining 35% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. The
Company will continue to charge the ongoing operating costs associated
with Burgundy's production in the period in which the costs are
incurred. The Company estimates the total cost of liquidation,
including costs to be incurred to operate until closure, to be
approximately $2.2 million.
6. Financing Arrangements
Factoring Agreement: The Company assigns the majority of its trade
accounts receivable to a commercial factor. Under the terms of the
factoring agreement, which expires July 2003, the factor remits
payments to the Company on the average due date of each group of
invoices assigned. If a customer fails to pay the factor upon the due
date, the Company is charged interest at prime (4.25% at December 29,
2002) until payment is received. The factor bears credit losses with
respect to assigned accounts receivable that are within approved credit
limits. The Company bears losses resulting from returns, allowances,
claims and discounts.

Notes Payable and Other Credit Facilities: At December 29, 2002 and March 31,
2002, long-term debt consisted of:

============= ===========
On July 23, 2001 the Company completed a refinancing of its debt. The
new credit facilities include the following:
Revolving Credit of up to $19 million including a $3 million sub-limit
for letters of credit, $14.0 million drawn at closing. The interest
rate is prime plus 1.00% (5.25% at December 29, 2002) for base rate
borrowings and LIBOR plus 2.75% (4.17% at December 29, 2002) for
Euro-dollar borrowings. The maturity date is June 30, 2004. The
facility is secured by a first lien on all assets. The balance at
December 29, 2002 was $1.1 million. The Company had $10.6 million
available at December 29, 2002. As of December 29, 2002, letters of
credit of $1.4 million were outstanding against the $3 million
sub-limit for letters of credit associated with the $19 million
revolving credit facility.
Senior Notes of $14 million with a fixed interest rate of 10% plus
additional interest contingent upon cash flow availability of 3%. The
maturity date is June 30, 2006 and the notes are secured by a first
lien on all assets. A minimum principal payment of $250,000 was paid on
April 1, 2002 and minimum principal payments of $500,000 are due at the
end of each calendar quarter thereafter. In the event that required
debt service exceeds 85% of free cash flow (EBITDA (as hereinafter
defined) less capital expenditures and cash taxes paid), the excess of
contingent interest and principal amortization over 85% will be
deferred until maturity of the Senior Notes in June 2006. Contingent
interest plus additional principal payments will be due annually up to
85% of free cash flow. On September 30, 2002, the Company made a
payment to the lenders of $1.6 million related to excess cash flow.
Senior Subordinated Notes of $16 million with a fixed interest rate of
10% plus an additional 1.65% payable by delivery of a promissory note
due July 23, 2007. The maturity date is July 23, 2007 and the notes are
secured by a second lien on all assets. In addition to principal and
interest, a payment of $8 million is due on the earliest of (i)
maturity of the notes, (ii) prepayment of the notes, or (iii) sale of
the Company. The original issue discount of $4.1 million on this
non-interest bearing note at a market interest rate of 12% will be
amortized over the life of the notes. The remaining balance of $3.4
million is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December
29, 2002.
The new credit facilities contain covenants regarding minimum levels of
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
("EBITDA"), maximum total debt to EBITDA, maximum senior debt to
EBITDA, minimum EBITDA to cash interest, and minimum shareholders'
equity. Certain covenants included in the credit facilities were
amended in conjunction with the liquidation of Burgundy, as discussed
in Note 5 above, in order to account for the recording of the related
restructuring charge. The bank facilities also place restrictions on
the amounts the Company may expend on acquisitions and purchases of
treasury stock and currently prohibit the payment of dividends.

As part of the refinancing, the Company issued to the lenders warrants for
non-voting common stock that are convertible into common stock equivalent to 65%
of the shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis at a price of 11.3 cents
per share. The warrants are non-callable and expire in six years. The value of
the warrants of $2.4 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was
credited to additional paid-in capital in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 29, 2002 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER
30, 2001
Total net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 decreased $2.2
million, or 9.4%, to $21.6 million from $23.9 million for the third quarter of
fiscal year 2002. Net sales of throws decreased $73,000, or 7.7%, to $871,000,
and net sales of infant and juvenile products decreased $2.2 million, or 9.4%,
to $20.8 million.
Of the decrease in sales of infant and juvenile products, management estimates
that approximately $1.9 million was directly attributable to the West Coast port
closure. At the time of the closure, the Company had forty containers in
transit. The last of these containers took up to eight weeks to be received. The
delivery time experienced during the slowdown averaged approximately 36 days
from the Orient to the Company's warehouses compared to an approximate average
of 21 to 24 days prior to the slowdown. In addition, the Company experienced
slowdowns into December after the port re-opened due to problems in shipping
empty containers back to Asia for reloading. This caused the Company's customers
to miss selling days, which resulted in fewer reorders for the Company.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2003, cost of sales increased to 78.7%
of net sales from 78% for the same period in fiscal year 2002. The decrease in
gross margin is attributable to increases in freight cost due to the West Coast
port closure.
Marketing and administrative expenses decreased by $941,000, or 24.9%, in the
current year quarter compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year and
were 13.1% of net sales for the current quarter compared to 15.9% in the
corresponding quarter of the prior year. The decrease is a result of the
elimination of duplicate positions and office locations. In the quarter ended
December 2001, the Atlanta office remained open and overlapping positions
existed between the Company's offices in Gonzales, Louisiana and Atlanta,
Georgia.
As discussed in Note 5 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, the
Company recorded a $1.8 million restructuring charge in the quarter ended
December 29, 2002. In December 2002, the Company adopted a formal plan to change
its sourcing strategy for certain products and close the Mexican manufacturing
facility operated by its majority-owned subsidiary, Burgundy Interamericana
("Burgundy"). This decision was based on extensive research by management which
indicated that, due to lower wages and the elimination of the quota on bibs,
outsourcing the supply of products currently manufactured by Burgundy to Asian
manufacturers was more cost effective and competitive than maintaining existing
operations in Mexico. Under the plan, Burgundy
A-11
will continue to operate through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003, at
which time the Company will begin to liquidate Burgundy's assets. As a result of
the decision, the Company recorded a $1.8 million restructuring charge to
operations in the quarter ended December 29, 2002, which consists primarily of a
write-down of the property and equipment at the Mexican facility of
approximately $800,000, inventory items deemed to be in excess of production
requirements of approximately $600,000, an accrual for contractual termination
benefits of approximately $300,000 due Burgundy's entire workforce
(approximately 130 employees) under the provisions of Mexico's labor regulations
and the write-off of goodwill of approximately $60,000. The Company expects to
pay approximately 65% of the severance benefits in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2004 and the remaining 35% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. The
Company will continue to charge the ongoing operating costs associated with
Burgundy's production in the period in which the costs are incurred. The Company
estimates the total cost of liquidation, including costs to be incurred to
operate until closure, to be approximately $2.2 million.
Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 decreased by $238,000
because of a lower average debt balance and reduced interest rates.
Income tax expense includes a provision for alternative minimum taxes of $37,000
and applicable state income taxes of $115,000. For the quarter ended December
30, 2001, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $121,000 due to the
utilization of net operating carryforwards.
NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 29, 2002 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER
30, 2001
Total net sales for the nine months ended December 29, 2002 decreased $25.9
million, or 27.6%, to $68.0 million from $93.9 million for the same period in
fiscal year 2002. Net sales of bedroom and bath products decreased $19.9
million, or 100%, net sales of throws decreased $475,000, or 18.3%, to $2.1
million, and net sales of infant and juvenile products decreased $5.5 million,
or 7.8%, to $65.8 million.
The decrease in sales of bedroom and bath products was the result of the sale of
the Adult Bedding division on July 23, 2001. Of the decrease in sales of infant
and juvenile products, management estimates that approximately $3 million was
due to lost sales resulting from the West Coast port slowdown in September 2002
and the subsequent closure in October 2002 discussed above. The remaining
decrease is attributable to lower reorders in ongoing business due to SKU
reduction by certain major customers.
During the nine months ended December 29, 2002, cost of sales decreased to 77.9%
of net sales from 78.2% for the same period in fiscal year 2002. The decrease
relates primarily to changes in product mix as a result of the divestment
referenced above.
Marketing and administrative expenses decreased by $7.1 million, or 42.7%, in
the current year compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year and were
13.9% of net sales for the current year compared to 17.6% in the corresponding
period of the prior year. The decrease is a result of the divestment referenced
above as well as the elimination of duplicate positions and locations.
As discussed above and in Note 5 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company recorded a $1.8 million restructuring charge in the
quarter ended December 29, 2002.
Interest expense for the nine months ended December 29, 2002 decreased by $2.3
million because of a lower average debt balance and reduced interest rates.
Due to accumulated losses, the income tax provision for the nine months ended
December 29, 2002 includes a provision for federal alternative minimum tax of
$75,000, along with a provision for state income taxes of $195,000, for a total
tax provision of $270,000. For the nine months ended December 30, 2001, the
Company recorded an income tax benefit of $83,000.
FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.3 million for the nine months
ended December 29, 2002 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of
$8.1 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2001. Net cash used for
investing activities was $303,000 compared to net cash provided by investing
activities of $18.1 million in the prior year period. Net cash used for
financing activities was $6.2 million compared to net cash used for financing
activities of $26.5 million in the prior year period.
A-12
The Company's ability to make scheduled payments of principal, to pay the
interest on or to refinance its maturing indebtedness, to fund capital
expenditures or to comply with its debt covenants will depend upon future
performance. The Company's future performance is, to a certain extent, subject
to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other
factors beyond its control. Based upon the current level of operations, the
Company believes that cash flow from operations together with revolving credit
availability will be adequate to meet liquidity needs.
To reduce its exposure to credit losses and to enhance its cash flow, the
Company factors the majority of its trade accounts receivable. The Company's
factor establishes customer credit lines and accounts for and collects
receivable balances. The factor remits payment to the Company on the average due
dates of the factored invoices. The factor assumes all responsibility for credit
losses on sales within approved credit lines, but may deduct from its
remittances to the Company the amounts of customer deductions for returns,
allowances, disputes and discounts. The Company's factor at any time may
terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If such a
termination occurs, the Company may either assume the credit risks for shipments
after the date of such termination or cease shipments to such customer.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
federal securities law. Such statements are based upon management's current
expectations, projections, estimates and assumptions. Words such as "expects,"
"believes," "anticipates" and variations of such words and similar expressions
are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause
future results to differ materially from those anticipated. These risks include,
among others, general economic conditions, changing competition, the level and
pricing of future orders from the Company's customers, the Company's dependence
upon third-party suppliers, including some located in foreign countries with
unstable political situations, the Company's ability to successfully implement
new information technologies, the Company's ability to integrate its
acquisitions and new licenses and the Company's ability to implement
improvements in its acquired businesses.
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt,
commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. The exposure to interest rate risk
relates to its floating rate debt, $1.1 million of which was outstanding at
December 29, 2002 compared to $5.5 million at March 31, 2002. Each 1.0
percentage point increase in interest rates would impact annual pretax earnings
by $11,000 at the debt level of December 29, 2002 and $55,000 at the debt level
of March 31, 2002. The exposure to commodity price risk primarily relates to
changes in the price of cotton, which is a principal raw material in a
substantial number of the Company's products. The exposure to foreign exchange
rates relates to its Mexican manufacturing subsidiary. During the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2002, this subsidiary manufactured products for the Company with
a value of approximately $3.9 million. The Company's investment in the
subsidiary was approximately $2.6 million at March 31, 2002. In December 2002,
the Company adopted a formal plan to liquidate this facility.
ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated
the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such
term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of a date within 90 days prior
to the filing date of this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on
such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date,
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them
on a timely basis to material information relating to the Company (including its
consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic
filings under the Exchange Act.
Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been any significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
such controls.
