ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following is an analysis of the results of operations of Thrift
Management, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") and its
liquidity and capital resources. The Company cautions readers that certain
important factors may affect the Company's actual results and could cause such
results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements that may be
deemed to have been made in this Report or that are otherwise made by or on
behalf of the Company. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Report
that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, words such as "may," "expect," "believe,"
"anticipate," "intend," "could," "estimate," or "continue" or the negative or
other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These risks include: risks of increases in the costs
of the Company's merchandise and the continued availability of suitable
merchandise; the Company's relationship with its suppliers, licensors and
contributors; changes in preferences of customers; competitive and general
economic factors in the markets where the Company sells and collects goods; the
impact of and changes in government regulations such as restrictions or
prohibitions relating to the contribution of charitable goods; and other factors
discussed herein or from time to time in the Company's other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto of the
Company included elsewhere herein.
GENERAL
The Company currently operates six retail thrift stores that offer new
and used articles of clothing, furniture, miscellaneous household items and
antiques. The Company obtains its merchandise primarily from two sources: (i)
purchase contracts with charitable organizations, and (ii) various independent
contract collectors from whom the Company purchases merchandise in bulk. The
Company is registered with the State of Florida as a professional solicitor.
Items from the stores that remain unsold are sold in bulk to exporters, which
ship the items to countries throughout the Caribbean, Central and South America,
and Eastern Europe.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 24, 2000 AND SEPTEMBER 26, 1999
Revenues for the three months ended September 24, 2000 and September
26, 1999 totaled $2,205,705 and $2,141,344, respectively. Sales increased
$64,361, or 3.0%, for the third quarter of 2000 compared to the third quarter of
1999. On May 9, 2000, the Pompano Beach store was closed, which represented a
$101,429 sales decrease in the third quarter of 2000. The same-store sales for
the three months increased 8.0% as compared to the 5.4% decrease in the first
quarter of 2000 and the 3.4% decrease in the second quarter of 2000.
The Company's gross profit for the third quarter of 2000 increased
$122,248, or 17.2%, to $831,275 from $709,027 for the third quarter of 1999. The
increase in the gross profit margin
8
11
from 33.1% in the third quarter of 1999 to 37.7% in the third quarter of 2000 is
attributable to the decrease in the cost of goods sold. The Company reduced its
merchandise purchased from independent contract collectors by 67% in the third
quarter of 2000 as compared to the third quarter of 1999. In the third quarter
of 2000, the gross profit margin of stores opened more than a year increased to
37.4% as compared to 34.9% in the third quarter of 1999. This increase was due
primarily to the continuing expansion and maturity of the Company's solicitation
efforts. In the third quarter of 2000 the Company began operating its fourth
door-to-door solicitation program.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2000 increased $295,809 or
28.7%, to $1,327,283 from $1,031,474 for the third quarter of 1999, reflecting
the impact of various non-cash and start-up expenses incurred in the third
quarter of 2000 that the Company did not incur in the third quarter of 1999 as
described below:
Operating expenses for the three months ending September 24, 2000
include: $137,109 in amortization of investor relations consulting expenses paid
with common stock; $67,315 amortization of financial consulting expenses paid
with common stock; $66,771 amortization of consulting expenses paid with
warrants to purchase common stock; $14,544 in amortization of debenture
expenses; and $72,148 in start-up expenses of the Company's new internet
subsidiary, Collectiblesandart.com, Inc. In addition, there was an increase of
$13,725 in corporate overhead expenses relating to higher professional fees. The
$357,887 in non-cash and start-up expenses detailed above, along with the
$13,725 increased corporate overhead, were partially offset by a decrease in
store operating expenses amounting to $23,194. These $357,887 non-cash and
start-up expenses in the third quarter of 2000, which are expected to continue
for the next six months, contributed to the Company's $505,152 net loss for the
quarter. The store operating profit in the third quarter ended September 24,
2000 increased 102.3% as compared to the third quarter of 1999 resulted from
closing the Pompano Beach store, an increase in sales and gross profits and a
decrease in operating expenses in the new Orlando store, and a 33.4% increase in
same-store operating profit.
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 24, 2000 AND SEPTEMBER 26, 1999
Revenues for the nine months ended September 24, 2000 and September 26,
1999 totaled $6,808,701 and $6,951,708, respectively. Sales decreased $143,007,
or 2.1%, for the nine months of 2000 compared to the nine months of 1999. The
Pompano Beach store was closed on May 9, 2000 and accounts for a $209,464
decrease in revenues and the new Orlando store accounts for a $106,631 increase
in revenue. The same-store sales for the nine months of 2000 decreased 0.7% as
compared to the nine months of 1999.
The Company's gross profit for the nine months of 2000 increased
$93,167, or 3.7%, to $2,607,391 from $2,514,224 for the nine months of 1999. The
increase in the gross profit margin from 36.2% in the nine months of 1999 to
38.3% in the nine months of 2000 is attributable to the decrease in the cost of
goods sold. The Company reduced its merchandise purchased from independent
contract collectors by 62% in the nine months of 2000 as compared to the nine
months of 1999. This increase was due primarily to the expansion and maturity of
the Company's solicitation efforts. In the nine months of 2000 the Company began
operating its third and fourth door-to-door solicitation programs.
9
12
Operating expenses for the nine months of 2000 increased $992,165, or
32.3%, to $4,067,602 from $3,075,437 for the nine months of 1999, reflecting the
impact of various non-cash and start-up expenses incurred in the nine months of
2000 that the Company did not incur in the nine months of 1999, as described
below:
Operating expenses for the nine months ending September 24, 2000
include: $411,329 in amortization of investor relations consulting expenses paid
with common stock; $121,315 amortization of financial consulting expenses paid
with common stock; $114,718 amortization of consulting expenses paid with
warrants to purchase common stock; $117,757 in compensation expense related to
stock options issued to outside directors and a consultant for services; $30,046
in amortization of debenture expenses; and $182,100 in start-up expenses of the
Company's new internet subsidiary, Collectiblesandart.com, Inc. In addition,
corporate overhead increased by $130,339, which was primarily the result of
professional fees related to the Debentures. The additional $977,265 in non-cash
and start-up expenses were partially offset by a decrease in store operating
expenses of $62,372. These $977,265 non-cash and start-up expenses in the nine
months of 2000, which are expected to continue for the next six months,
contributed to the Company's $1,465,434 net loss for the nine months.
The stores operating profit in the nine months ended September 24, 2000
increased 19.5% as compared to the nine months ended September 26, 1999 which
was the result of closing the Pompano Beach store, increased sales and gross
profits and a decrease in operating expenses of the new Orlando store, and a
8.2% increase in same store operating profit.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 24, 2000, the Company had working capital of $1,133,616 as
compared to working capital of $923,350 at December 26, 1999.

increase of $314,455, as compared to $186,666 at December 26, 1999. Net cash
used in operating activities totaled $639,633 for the nine months ending
September 24, 2000, as compared to $344,736 net cash used in operating
activities for the nine months ended September 26, 1999. The cash used in the
purchase of property and equipment totaled $57,162. The net cash provided by
financing activities in the nine months of 2000 was $1,011,250, primarily the
result of the issuance of the Debentures. By comparison, in 1999, $33,863 in net
cash used in financing activities was primarily from the redemption of warrants
partially offset by the exercise of warrants and options and the repayment of
advances to stockholder. The Company believes that its current capital
resources, together with the expected cash flow from its operations, will be
sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital requirements through 2000.
There can be no assurances, however, that such will be the case.
The Company is currently seeking sources of additional capital for
general corporate purposes, as well as for the start-up of its Internet
subsidiary Collectiblesandart.com, Inc. The Company is in the process of
completing the development of the auction and sales portion of the website,
which is initially expected to offer for sale directly or by auction existing
inventories from the Company's retail stores. Depending on demand by consumers
and other users of the site, the Company currently anticipates that this portion
of the website may generate revenues from the time of its launch.

Although the auction and sales portion of the website is in the final
stages of development, the Company has decided to delay the website's launch
until an additional component of the site, in which the Company proposes to
offer to third-party collectibles and antiques dealers "turn-key" website
operations on an application service provider basis, is completed and until the
Company is able to initiate its marketing efforts. The Company will require
significant additional capital in order to complete development of the site, to
develop and launch its advertising and marketing efforts, and to build
additional inventories. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able
to obtain capital for these purposes, if at all, on terms that are satisfactory
to the Company or in an amount that is sufficient to accomplish this plan.
Accordingly, the Company cannot estimate at this time the anticipated launch
date of its website.
INFLATION AND SEASONALITY
Although the Company cannot accurately determine precisely the effects
of inflation, management does not believe that inflation currently has a
material effect on the Company's sales or results of operations.
The Company's operations are located in South Florida, which has
numerous part-time residents during the winter. The Company's results of
operations reflect the seasonable nature of this market, with donations and
sales of merchandise being higher in the winter months.
