NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
Note 1 For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Registrant Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 1995.
Note 2 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 3 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 4 The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 1994 and the first half of
fiscal 1995 was 39.5%. 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 at July 30,
1995 and $800 at January 29, 1995. Other current assets on the balance
sheet includes $5,378 and $5,377 of current deferred assets at July 30,
1995 and January 29, 1995, respectively.
The Company provided no valuation allowance against its deferred tax
assets recorded as of July 30, 1995 and January 29, 1995.

debt as long-term debt that is not required to be repaid at its next
annual clean-down date of September 30, 1996.
Note 6 Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to
conform to the current year presentation.

PART I - ITEM II MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND INTERIM RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
SALES
Total sales increased 9.8% and comparable store sales decreased 3.9% for the
three months ended July 30, 1995 as compared to the same period a year ago. The
total sales increase was a result of opening 40 net new stores since July 31,
1994, partially offset by the comparable store sales decrease noted above. The
comparable store sales decrease was primarily due to weakness in apparel sales.
At July 30, 1995, 296 stores were in operation compared to 256 stores at July
31, 1994. The Company opened 11 new stores and relocated one store during the
current quarter.
Total sales increased 9.1% and comparable store sales decreased 4.0% for the six
months ended July 30, 1995 as compared to the same period a year ago. The total
sales increase was the result of opening 59 net new stores since January 31,
1994, partially offset by the comparable store sales decrease for the period.
The comparable sales decrease for the first half this year resulted from a
combination of low inventory position in the warehouses at year end which
impaired fresh merchandise from flowing to the stores early in the first quarter
of the current year and weakness in apparel sales as previously noted.
In response to the weakness in apparel sales, beginning in September 1995, all
stores will have their space dedicated to apparel merchandise reduced to
introduce greeting cards into the Mac Frugal's merchandise assortment.
Sales from the 163 California stores open at July 30, 1995 were approximately
63% of the Company's total sales for both the second quarter and first half of
the current year. California stores experienced comparable store sales
decreases during the second quarter and first half of the year which were
consistent with the company-wide experience noted above.
The Company opened six stores in Illinois during the first half of the current
year marking its entry into the midwestern markets.
GROSS PROFIT RATE
The gross profit rate of 46.7% and 46.2% for the current year second quarter and
first half, respectively, compared to 46.7% and 46.8% for similar periods in the
prior year. The decrease in the gross margin for the first half 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 year versus the prior
year.
OPERATING EXPENSE RATES
Operating expenses were 40.6% and 40.7% of sales for the current year second
quarter and first half, respectively. Prior year second quarter and first half
operating expenses were 42.4% and 40.9% of sales, respectively. The
improvements were the result of a decrease in
9
warehouse and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in store
expenses as explained below.
Store expenses totaled 31.6% and 30.8% of sales for the second quarter and
first half of fiscal 1995, respectively, compared to 31.5% and 30.3% of sales
for the same periods in the prior year.
General cost containment kept total store expenses relatively constant as a
percentage of total sales for the current year second quarter versus the prior
year second quarter. Higher rent, depreciation and advertising expenses were
largely offset by efficiencies and expense controls in payroll and workers'
compensation insurance.
The increases noted above are driven by new stores and are expected during a
phase of expansion. Furthermore, the increased percentages were adversely
impacted by the decrease in comparable store sales for the current year second
quarter.
The increase in store expenses as a percentage of sales for the first half of
the current year was largely the result of the same factors described above
under the quarter-to-quarter comparison. However, higher rent, depreciation
and advertising expenses were only partially offset by efficiencies in
workers' compensation. Expense controls in the payroll area were initiated
towards the end of the first quarter in the current year. Consequently, the
Company first began experiencing meaningful benefits from these controls in the
second fiscal quarter of 1995.
Warehouse and administrative expenses totaled 9.0% and 10.0% of sales for the
second quarter and first half of fiscal 1995, respectively. As a percentage
of sales, warehouse and administrative expenses were lower compared to the
10.9% and 10.6% of sales for the same periods in the prior years.
Expense controls in the warehouses and administrative areas resulted in a
reduction in most expenses as a percentage of sales for both the current year
second quarter and the current year first half compared to similar periods in
the prior year.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Net interest expense was $3,387 and $5,618 for the second quarter and first
half of fiscal 1995, respectively. This compares to $1,433 and $2,391 incurred
during the same periods last year. Factors contributing to the increase were
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 half 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 second quarter and first half 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
second quarter and first half.
The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $803 at July 30, 1995 and $800 at
January 29, 1995. This change in the net deferred tax asset resulted from a
reclassification from deferred income taxes to current
10
income taxes payable. Other current assets on the balance sheet includes
$5,378 and $5,377 of current deferred assets at July 30, 1995 and January 29,
1995, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents increased $611 in the first half of fiscal 1995
compared to an increase of $1,247 in the first half of fiscal 1994. The major
factors influencing the increase of cash and cash equivalents in the first half
of the current year were higher net borrowings partially offset by an increase
in inventory and capital expenditures which were required for store expansion.
The Company's long-term debt was 53.7% of equity and its total debt was 89.6%
of equity at the end of the first half of fiscal 1995 compared to 1.7% and
46.8%, respectively, at July 31, 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 and the partial bank
financing of repurchases of treasury stock during fiscal 1994. Furthermore,
the Company has classified the portion of its revolving debt as long-term debt
that is not required to be paid at its next clean-down date of September 30,
1996.
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 July 30, 1995, the Company had $195,200 of
outstanding revolving debt. Of this outstanding debt, $155,200 was borrowed
under committed credit lines and $40,000 was borrowed under uncommitted credit
lines. Subsequent to July 30, 1995, the maturity date of the Company's
committed line of credit was extended by one year to August 10, 1998.
The Company's current ratio at the end of the first half was 2.09 versus 1.28
at fiscal year end 1994 and 1.51 at July 31, 1994. The increase is due
primarily to the classification of a portion of revolving debt as long-term
debt, as previously explained, offset in part by the use of short-term
borrowings to finance a portion of the repurchases of treasury stock during
fiscal 1994.
For the six months ended July 30, 1995, inventory turnover remained relatively
constant at .68 compared to .72 for the six months ended July 31, 1994.
