AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the six months ended June 28, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997 of Thrift Management, Inc. (the "Company"). (2) ORGANIZATION The consolidated financial statements at June 28, 1998 and June 30, 1997 include the accounts of the Company, Hallandale Thrift Management, Inc. ("HTMI"), Thrift Shops of South Broward, Inc. ("TSSB"), Thrift Shops of West Dade, Inc. ("TSWD"), Hallandale Thrift, Inc. ("HTI"), North Broward Consignment, Inc. ("NBCI"), Thrift Shops of North Lauderdale, Inc. ("TSNL"), Thrift Retail, Inc. ("TRI"), and Thrift Management Canada, Inc. ("TMCI"), (HTMI, TSSB, TSWD, HTI, NBCI, TSNL, TRI and TMCI are collectively referred to herein as the "Subsidiaries"). All entities, except TSNL, TRI and TMCI (which were incorporated in March 1997, January 1998 and June 1998 respectively), were wholly owned by a common stockholder until May 31, 1996. As of May 31, 1996, HTMI, TSSB, TSWD, HTI, and NBCI became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to a reorganization plan. Accordingly, as of June 28, 1998 and June 30, 1997 and for the periods then ended, the Company has presented consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated for financial statement presentation purposes. (3) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY In December 1996, the Company consummated its initial public offering in which it sold 615,000 units at a price of $5.75 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock ("Common Stock") and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock for $5.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing December 11, 1996 and may be redeemed by the Company on 30 days' notice at any time during such period at a price of $.10 per warrant if the closing bid price of the Common Stock for 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifteenth day prior to the date that notice of redemption was given by the Company has been at least 150% of the exercise price then in effect. The Company realized approximately $2,596,950 in proceeds from the offering, net of underwriting discounts and expenses and other offering expenses. Simultaneously with the offering, the Company charged all offering costs incurred to additional paid-in capital, which costs totaled $653,050. 6 7 On June 17, 1997, the Company issued 30,000 shares of its restricted Common Stock to a business consultant in payment for service rendered to the Company. Such restricted Common Stock was initially valued at $52,500 which was later revised to $33,500. On June 15, 1998, the Company issued an additional 30,000 shares of its restricted Common Stock to a business consultant. Such restricted Common Stock was valued at $30,375. (4) CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PERIODS The Company adopted a 52/53 week retail reporting calendar, whereby all accounting periods end on a Sunday. (5) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS At June 28, 1998, the Company had an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank notes, with a maturity date of July 24, 1998 and a value of $1,492,862, an investment in Dreyfus Treasury Prime Cash Management with a value of $258,295, and investments in various bank money market accounts with an aggregate value of $78,262. Prepaid expenses as of June 28, 1998 include $97,248 in prepaid salary and bonus payments to the Company's President. See Note (6) below. (6) COMMITMENTS In April 1998, the Company entered into a five-year lease for a sixth store location in Pompano Beach in Broward County, Florida. The lease provides for minimum monthly rental payments of approximately $4,000 and contains two renewal options for five years under substantially the same terms and conditions. This store is scheduled to open on August 14, 1998. As part of the program of operating manned donation trailers as a new source of donated merchandise, the Company has entered into month to month rental agreements to rent space in parking lots of certain shopping centers. As of June 28, 1998, the Company had entered into seven such agreements with monthly rental payments totaling approximately $1,200. The Company's Board of Directors approved the prepayment of up to $130,000 of the 1998 salary and bonus of the Company's President, subject to the agreement of the President to pay interest on the amount prepaid at the annual rate of 8.5%. Prepaid expenses as of June 28, 1998 include $97,248 in such prepaid salary and bonus payments to the Company's President. 7 8 THRIFT MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto of the Company included elsewhere herein. GENERAL The Company was organized in July, 1991 for the purpose of managing the operation of retail thrift stores that offer new and used articles of clothing, furniture, miscellaneous household items and antiques. HTMI is registered with the State of Florida as a professional solicitor. The Company obtains its merchandise primarily from two sources: (i) purchase contracts with charitable organizations in return for an average of 2% - 3% of the Company's gross sales; and (ii) various independent contract collectors from whom the Company purchases merchandise in bulk. 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. Through its subsidiaries, the Company currently operates five retail stores and is scheduled to open its sixth store on August 14, 1998. HTMI is responsible for the solicitation of donations on behalf of the charities through direct mailings, newspaper advertising and telemarketing. HTMI is, in addition, responsible for the pickup of the donated merchandise throughout the communities surrounding the Company's stores. In January, 1998 the Company adopted a 52/53 week retail reporting calendar, whereby all accounting periods end on a Sunday. 8 9 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 28, 1998 AND JUNE 30, 1997. Revenues for the second quarter ended June 28, 1998 and June 30, 1997 totaled $2,150,732 and $1,840,298, respectively. Sales increased $310,434 or 16.9% for the 1998 quarter as compared to the 1997 quarter. The sales increase resulted primarily from the opening of the Company's fifth store in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida on July 19, 1997. The same-store sales for the quarter were flat. Economic and political conditions in the overseas markets that purchase rags have further deteriorated, with the result that the Company is now selling rags for approximately $0.13 per pound as compared to approximately $0.14 per pound in the first quarter of 1998 and approximately $0.20 per pound in 1997. The rag sale prices have continued to fall, and in August 1998 the Company is selling rags for only $.07 per pound. Although in the past rag sale prices have strengthened in the fall and winter months, there can be no assurances that this will be the case this year. This very significant decline in the market price for rags represented a 4.5% unfavorable variance in total sales compared to the second quarter of the prior year. The Company's gross profit for the second quarter of 1998 decreased $169,840 or 18.1% to $770,985 from $940,825 for the second quarter of 1997. This decrease in gross profit dollars and the gross profit margin from 51.1% in the second quarter of 1997 to 35.8% in the second quarter of 1998 is attributable to the significant increase in the cost of goods sold, which was due primarily to the increasing dependence on merchandise purchased from independent contract collectors combined with the collapse of the export market for rags. The decline in export prices for rags represents 29% of the decline in the Company's gross profit margin. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, increased 15.3% points for the second quarter of 1998 as compared to the second quarter of 1997 to 64.2% in 1998 from 48.9% in 1997. The Company has two sources for merchandise: purchase contracts with charitable organizations and merchandise purchased in bulk from independent contract collectors. In order to support the 16.9% increase in store sales, while also acquiring merchandise for the Company's sixth store (which is planned to open on August 14, 1998), the Company increased its purchases of merchandise from independent contract collectors. The Company's purchases from independent contract collectors for the second quarter of 1998 increased 39.8% compared to the prior year. More merchandise is now being acquired and is being purchased from independent contract collectors in other states, requiring additional freight costs than in 1997. These additional costs resulting from the Company's greater reliance on purchased goods is one of the primary factors resulting in a higher cost of goods sold. The decline in the market price for rags is the second primary factor in the decline in the gross profit margin in the second quarter. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 1998 increased $86,973 or 9.7% to $984,510 from $898,537 for the second quarter of 1997. This increase is due primarily to the $116,023 in operating expenses related to the Company's fifth store in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, which opened on July 19, 1997. 9 10 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 28, 1998 AND JUNE 30, 1997 Revenues for the six months ended June 28, 1998 and June 30,1997 totaled $4,401,205 and $3,660,848, respectively. Sales increased $740,357 or 20.2% for the 1998 six month period compared to the 1997 six month period. The sales increase resulted primarily from the opening of the Company's fifth store in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida on July 19, 1997. The same-store sales for the six months increased by 3.2%. The Company's adoption of a 52/53 week reporting calendar resulted in the six months of 1998 having two days less than the six months of 1997. If the sales for those two days were added to the six months of 1998, the total sales would have increased 21.1% and the same-store sales would have increased 4.0%. Economic and political conditions in those overseas markets that purchase rags have further deteriorated, with the Company selling rags for approximately $0.14 per pound in the first quarter of 1998 and approximately $.13 per pound in the second quarter of 1998 as compared to approximately $0.20 per pound in 1997. The rag sale prices have continued to fall, and in August 1998 the Company is selling rags for only $.07 per pound. This significant decline in the market price for rags represented a 3.9% unfavorable variance in total sales compared to the six months of the prior year. The Company's gross profit for the six months of 1998 decreased $132,091 or 6.9% to $1,780,908 from $1,912,999 for the six months of 1997. This decrease in the gross profit dollars and the gross profit margin from 52.3% in the six months of 1997 as compared to 40.5% in same period of 1998 is attributable to the significant increase in the cost of goods sold which was due primarily to the increasing dependence on merchandise purchased from independent contract collectors combined with the collapse of the export market for rags. The decline in export prices for rags represent 33% of the decline in the Company's gross profit margin. The Company is reviewing and plans to adjust its operational strategy in an attempt to lessen the gross profit impact of the current rag market prices. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, increased 11.8% points for the six months of 1998 as compared to the six months of 1997 to 59.5% in 1998 from 47.7% in 1997. The Company has two sources for merchandise: direct donated goods through the charities with which it has entered into purchase contracts, and merchandise purchased in bulk from independent contract collectors. In order to support the 20.2% increase in store sales, while also acquiring merchandise for the Company's sixth store (which is planned to open on August 14, 1998), the Company increased its purchases of merchandise from independent contract collectors. The Company's purchases from independent contract collectors for the six months of 1998 increased 36.2% compared to the prior year. More merchandise being acquired is being purchased from sources in other states, requiring additional freight costs than last year. These additional costs resulting from the Company's greater reliance on purchased goods is one of the primary factors resulting in a higher cost of goods sold. The impact of current market price for rags is the second primary factor in the decline of the gross profit margins. The Company is accelerating its efforts to reduce its dependence on purchased merchandise by continuing to develop its network of manned donation trailers and by establishing a phone solicitation division to increase the Company's sources of donated merchandise. Operating expenses for the six months of 1998 increased $136,108 or 7.8% to $1,883,843 as compared to $1,747,734 for the same period in 1997. This increase is primarily the result of the $116,023 increase of the operating expenses of the Lauderdale Lakes store, which opened on July 19, 1997. 10 11 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 28, 1998, the Company had working capital of $2,284,992, as compared to working capital of $2,248,158 at June 30, 1997. Cash and cash equivalents at June 28, 1998 totaled $1,872,790, a decrease of $343,199, as compared with $2,215,989 at June 28, 1997. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $194,486 for the six months ended March 28, 1998, as compared to $75,504 provided by operating activities for the six months ending June 30, 1997. 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 at least 1998. There can be no assurances, however, that such will be the case. 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. YEAR 2000 The Company has evaluated the potential impact of the year 2000 on its business, including its information systems, and does not expect this issue to have a significant effect on its results of operations. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 2 - Changes in Securities On June 15, 1998, the Company issued 30,000 shares of its restricted common stock to a consultant in payment for services rendered to the Company. Such restricted common stock was valued at $30,375. The foregoing shares of common stock were issued by the Company in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as it was a transaction by the Company not involving a public offering. Item 5 - Other Information In August, the Company employed Jackie Halleen as a District Manager. Mrs. Halleen has over 8 years experience in the thrift industry and was most recently a District Manager in the Minnesota/Wisconsin area for TVI. Inc., which operates over 160 retail thrift stores. In August, the Company also employed Phillip Halleen as Purchasing Agent and Planning and Development Coordinator. Mr. Halleen has 5 years of experience in the thrift industry and was most recently employed by TVI, Inc. in their midwest new store development department. ITEM 6.
