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 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 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 seven retail stores. 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. 7 9 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 27, 1999 AND JUNE 28, 1998. Revenues for the second quarter ended June 27, 1999 and June 28, 1998 totaled $2,273,741 and $2,150,732, respectively. Sales increased $123,009 or 5.7%, for the 1999 quarter as compared to the 1998 quarter. The sales increase resulted from the opening of the Company's sixth store in Pompano Beach, Florida in August 1998 and the Company's seventh store in Orlando, Florida in February 1999. The retail same-store sales for the quarter decreased 2.3%, as compared to 1998 and rag sales for the quarter decreased 40.2%, as compared to 1998 resulting in a decrease in total same-store sales of 5.5% for the quarter. Economic and political conditions in the overseas markets that purchase rags have caused the export market for rags to remain relatively weak, although it has somewhat improved since the end of 1998. As a result, the Company sold rags in the second quarter of 1999 for approximately $0.11 per pound as compared to approximately $0.13 per pound in the second quarter of 1998, both of which were down from $0.20 per pound in 1997. Although the average rag prices were $0.11 per pound in the second quarter of 1999, up from $0.09 in the first quarter of 1999, the Company believes that economic and political conditions in the overseas markets that purchase rags will result in a continued relatively weak export market for rags. The Company's gross profit for the second quarter of 1999 increased $63,717 or 8.3%, to $834,702 from $770,985 for the second quarter of 1998. This increase in gross profit dollars and the gross profit margin from 35.8% in the second quarter of 1998 to 36.7% in the second quarter of 1999 is attributable to the decrease in the cost of goods sold. This decrease was due primarily to the expansion of the Company's solicitation efforts, which the Company believes is now showing results as the Company reduced its merchandise purchased from independent contract collectors by 42.4% in the second quarter of 1999 as compared to the second quarter of 1998. Accordingly, cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, decreased 0.9 percentage points to 63.3% for the second quarter of 1999 as compared to 64.2% for the second quarter of 1998. The Company is continuing its efforts to reduce its dependence on purchased merchandise by continuing to develop its network of attended donation trailers and by continuing to develop its phone solicitation division to increase the Company's sources of donated merchandise. The Company is also adjusting its pricing and promotional strategies, in an effort to maximize its sales and growth profit margin, thereby improving the Company's operating results. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 1999 decreased $19,234 or 2.0%, to $965,276 from $984,510 for the second quarter of 1998. The operating expenses increased $49,126 for the Company's sixth store in Pompano Beach, Florida, which opened in August 1998, and $50,912 for the Company's seventh store in Orlando, Florida, which opened in February 1999. However, these new store expenses were offset by a $96,838 reduction in the corporate overhead and by a $22,434 reduction in the other five stores' operating expenses. The Company is also actively working to control and to further reduce its operating expenses to improve its operating results. 8 10 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 27, 1999 AND JUNE 28, 1998. Revenues for the six months ended June 27, 1999 and June 28, 1998 totaled $4,810,365 and $4,401,205, respectively. Sales increased $409,160 or 9.3% for the 1999 six month period as compared to the 1998 six month period. The sales increase resulted from the opening of the Company's sixth store in Pompano Beach, Florida in August 1998 and the Company's seventh store in Orlando, Florida in February 1999. The retail same-store sales for the six months increased 1.0%, as compared to 1998 and rag sales for the six months decreased 37.4%, as compared to 1998 resulting in a decrease in total same-store sales of 2.1% for the six months as compared to 1998. Economic and political conditions in the overseas markets that purchase rags have caused the export market for rags to remain relatively weak, although it has somewhat improved since the end of 1998. As a result, the Company sold rags in the first six months of 1999 for approximately $0.10 per pound as compared to approximately $0.13 per pound in the first six months of 1998. Although the average rag prices were $.11 per pound in the second quarter of 1999, up from $.09 in the first quarter of 1999, the Company believes that economic and political conditions in the overseas markets that purchase rags will result in a continued relatively weak export market for rags. The Company's gross profit for the first six months of 1999 increased $24,289 or 1.4%, to $1,805,197 from $1,780,908 for the first six months of 1998. The decline in the gross profit margin from 40.5% in the first six months of 1998 to 37.5% in the first six months of 1999 is attributable to the increase in the cost of goods sold. This increase was due primarily to the expansion of the Company's solicitation efforts, which the Company now believes is showing results as the Company reduced its merchandise purchased from independent contract collectors by 42.4% in the second quarter of 1999 as compared to the second quarter of 1998 and 31.2% in the first six months of 1999 as compared to the first six months of 1998. Although cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, increased 3.0 percentage points to 62.5% for the first six months of 1999 as compared to 59.5% for the first six months of 1998, cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, decreased as described above in the section "Results of Operations for the three months ended June 27, 1999 and June 28, 1998." The Company is continuing its efforts to reduce its dependence on purchased merchandise by continuing to develop its network of attended donation trailers and by continuing to develop its phone solicitation division to increase the Company's sources of donated merchandise. The Company is also adjusting its pricing and promotional strategies, in an effort to maximize its sales and growth profit margin, thereby improving the Company's operating results. Operating expenses for the first six months of 1999 increased $160,120 or 8.5%, to $2,043,963 from $1,883,843 for the six months of 1998. The operating expenses increased $95,547 for the Company's sixth store in Pompano Beach, Florida, which opened in August 1998, and $130,488 for the Company's seventh store in Orlando, Florida, which opened in February 1999. However, these new store expenses were offset partially by a $32,989 reduction in the corporate overhead and by a $32,926 reduction in the other five stores' operating expenses. The Company is also actively working to control and to further reduce its operating expenses to improve its operating results. 9 11 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 27, 1999, the Company had working capital of $766,141, as compared to working capital of $2,211,220 at June 28, 1998. Cash and cash equivalents at June 27, 1999 totaled $422,406, a decrease of $450,935, as compared to $873,341 at December 27, 1998. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $210,070 for the six months ending June 27, 1999, as compared to $194,486 used in operating activities for the six months ending June 28, 1998. The cash used in the purchase of property and equipment totaled $139,563 and cash used in financing activities totaled $101,302, which was primarily the redemption of common stock warrants. 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 1999. 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 the start-up of its new subsidiary, eCollectibles-art.com, Inc. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital upon terms acceptable to it or that the amount obtained will be sufficient for the needs of the Company. If the Company is not successful in obtaining additional capital, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company. 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, using an outside consultant believes that it has completed all of the computer software upgrades for the year 2000 as instructed by the various software vendors used by the Company. All computer hardware has been tested for the year 2000. The Company currently believes it is ready for the year 2000, and does not believe this issue will have a significant effect on its results of operations. 10 12 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES At the end of the quarter, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock to the Company's outside director, pursuant to the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan. The options are exercisable at an exercise price of $4.625 per share, which was the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The options expire on June 30, 2004. The grant of options was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION On May 27, 1999 the Company formed a new subsidiary, eCollectibles-art.com, Inc., to establish a web site/auction site in the antiques, collectible and art auction market, offering merchandise for sale from the Company's stores and other industry sources through sale and live auction bidding. The Company currently plans to begin operation of selling and auctioning on the internet in the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company is currently seeking sources of capital to fund the development and the start-up of this new subsidiary. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital or that the amount obtained will be sufficient. Further, there can also be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully and profitably expand into this highly competitive business. Stephen H. Bittel, A Director of the Company since December 1997, resigned as a Director in May 1999 due to the time constraints as President and Chief Executive Officer of Terranova Corporation and his other business ventures. Howard L. Rothchild was elected a Director of the Company in June 1999. Mr. Rothchild is President of JES/Comm, Inc., a marketing consultant, who provides services to the Company.
