AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - ITEM I - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 The information furnished was prepared internally by the Company and has not been independently verified. However, it reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim period. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Note 2 Earnings per Common Share is based on the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding, adjusted for dilutive effects of stock options, if applicable. Note 3 The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 1994 and the first three months ended April 30, 1995 was 39.5%. The provision for income tax expense for the three months ended April 30, 1995 was $2,164,000. For interim reporting purposes the entire provision for income tax expense was classified as current. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $803,000 at April 30, 1995 and $800,000 at January 29, 1995. This change in the net deferred tax asset is due to a reclassification from deferred income taxes to current income taxes payable. Other current assets on the balance sheet includes $5,378,000 and $5,377,000 of current deferred assets at April 30, 1995 and January 29, 1995, respectively. The Company provided no valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets recorded as of April 30, 1995 and January 29, 1995. Note 4 The Company retired all of its treasury shares (4,313,200) during the first quarter of the current year. Note 5 Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. 8 PART I - ITEM II MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND INTERIM RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SALES Total sales increased 8.6% and comparable store sales decreased 4.1% for the three months ended April 30, 1995 as compared to the same period a year ago. The total sales increase was a result of opening 43 net new stores since May 1, 1994, partially offset by the comparable store sales decrease noted above. The comparable store sales decrease was primarily due to the low inventory position in the warehouses at year end which impaired fresh merchandise from flowing to the stores early in the quarter. At April 30, 1995, 285 stores were in operation compared to 242 stores at May 1, 1994. The Company opened 7 new stores during the current quarter. Sales from the 160 California stores open at April 30, 1995 were approximately 64% of the Company's current year first quarter sales. California stores experienced comparable store sales decreases during the first quarter which were consistent with the company wide experience noted above. The Company opened two stores in Chicago, Illinois in April 1995 marking its entry into the midwestern markets. GROSS PROFIT RATE The gross profit rate of 45.8% for the first quarter this year decreased from 47.0% for the first quarter last year. The decrease is due primarily to higher markdowns as a percent of sales which were taken to attract customers into the stores and clear selected merchandise as well as an increase in the reserve rate for inventory shrinkage based on the Company's fiscal 1994 year-end results. However, these items were partially offset by a higher initial markup on beginning store inventory in the current quarter versus the same quarter in the prior year. OPERATING EXPENSE RATES Operating expenses were 40.8% of sales for the current year first quarter. Prior year first quarter operating expenses were 39.4% of sales. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased in both the stores and the warehouse and administrative areas. The increase in store expenses was mainly due to higher rent, depreciation, advertising and payroll as a percentage of sales, offset partially by efficiencies in workers' compensation insurance as a percentage of sales. The increases in rent, depreciation and payroll are driven by new stores and are expected during a phase of expansion. The increased percentages were also adversely affected by the decrease in comparable store sales for the current year first quarter. The increase in advertising expense as a percentage of sales is due to one additional circular in the current quarter and additional institutional advertising for the Company's new market in Chicago, Illinois. 9 General cost containment at the warehouses kept most expenses constant as a percentage of sales. However, increases in payroll were commensurate with the increase in inventory levels from the fiscal 1994 year end and the Company's effort to supply the stores with fresh merchandise in the current year first quarter. Similarly, cost containment in the administrative areas kept most expenses constant as a percentage of sales. However, the Company incurred approximately $1,100,000 in severance charges during the first quarter of the current year as a result of eliminating a number of administrative positions. INTEREST EXPENSE Net interest expense of $958,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 increased to $2,231,000 for the same period in 1995. Factors contributing to the increase are higher average debt levels coupled with higher interest rates. The increase in average debt levels are the combined result of larger inventory growth in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 and the treasury shares repurchased last year. INCOME TAX RATE The income tax rate for the current year first quarter was 39.5%, and for interim purposes, the entire provision for income taxes is classified as current. The current rate of 39.5% is consistent with the fiscal 1994 rate. Income taxes were provided at a rate of 40.0% in the prior year first quarter. The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $803,000 at April 30, 1995 and $800,000 at January 29, 1995. This change in the net deferred tax asset resulted from a reclassification from deferred income taxes to current income taxes payable. Other current assets on the balance sheet includes $5,378,000 and $5,377,000 of current deferred assets at April 30, 1995 and January 29, 1995, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents increased $1,297,000 in the first three months of fiscal 1995 compared to an increase of $912,000 in the first three months of fiscal 1994. The major factors influencing the increase of cash and cash equivalents in the first three months of the current year were an increase in accounts payable and higher net borrowings, partially offset by an increase in inventory and increased income tax payments. The Company's long-term debt was 2.2% of equity and its total debt was 64.0% of equity at the end of the first three months of fiscal 1995 compared to 1.5% and 22.9%, respectively, at May 1, 1994. At January 29, 1995, long-term debt was 2.1% of equity and total debt was 39.2% of equity. These changes reflect the Company's financing of higher merchandise inventory levels. In addition, the changes from May 1, 1994 reflect the partial bank financing of repurchases of treasury stock during the last nine months of fiscal 1994. 10 The Company believes its present lines of credit are adequate to meet any seasonal or temporary liquidity needs that cannot be met with cash flow from operating activities. At April 30, 1995, the Company had $136,100,000 of outstanding revolving debt. Of this outstanding debt, $120,000,000 was borrowed under committed credit lines and $16,100,000 was borrowed under uncommitted credit lines. The Company's current ratio at the end of the first three months was 1.21 versus 1.28 at fiscal year end 1994 and 1.92 at May 1, 1994. The change since May 1, 1994 is primarily due to the use of short-term borrowings to finance a portion of the repurchases of treasury stock during the last nine months of fiscal 1994. For the three months ended April 30, 1995, inventory turnover remained constant at .39 compared to the three months ended May 1, 1994. 11 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6 Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a) Exhibits -- Exhibit 27 -- Financial Data Schedule.
