AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) 1. Basis of Presentation Rainbow Rentals, Inc. (Company) is engaged in the rental and sale of home electronics, furniture, appliances, and computers to the general public. The Company operates 97 stores in ten states: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The Company's corporate headquarters is located in Canfield, Ohio. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, certain information and disclosures, normally required with financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. It is suggested these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report for fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. 2. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share are computed using net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For computation of diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to give effect to stock options considered to be common stock equivalents. The following table shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 1999 ---- ---- Numerator: Net income available to common shareholders $ 1,342 $ 1,134 Denominator: Basic weighted average shares 5,925,735 5,925,735 Effect of dilutive stock options - 10,467 ---------- ----------- Diluted weighted average shares 5,925,735 5,936,202 ========== =========== Basic earnings per share $ 0.23 $ 0.19 ========== =========== Diluted earnings per share $ 0.23 $ 0.19 ========== =========== 3. Acquisitions On February 1, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets of Rental Mart of PA, Inc. ("Rental Mart") for approximately $1.3 million in cash. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, all identifiable assets were recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the acquisition cost over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired ("goodwill" of $0.8 million) is being amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years. Assets acquired, other than goodwill, consisted primarily of rental-purchase merchandise and a non-compete agreement. 7 8 On March 1, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets of Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc., and Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. ("Blue Ribbon") for approximately $10.4 million in cash. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, all identifiable assets were recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the acquisition cost over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired ("goodwill" of $6.9 million) is being amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years. Assets acquired, other than goodwill, consisted primarily of rental-purchase merchandise of $3.1 million, property and equipment of $0.3 million and a non-compete agreement of $0.3 million. ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL At March 31, 2000 the Company operated 95 rental-purchase stores in nine states, providing quality, name brand, durable merchandise, including home electronics, furniture, appliances and computers. Generally, rental-purchase merchandise is rented to individuals under flexible agreements that allow customers to own the merchandise after making a specified number of rental payments (ranging from 12 to 24 months). Customers have the option to return the merchandise at any time without further obligation, and also have the option to purchase the merchandise at any time during the rental term. During the first quarter, the Company opened three new stores in existing markets. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain Statements of Income data as a percentage of total revenue. FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 2000 1999 ---- ---- STATEMENT OF INCOME DATA: Revenues Rental revenue 92.4 % 92.9 % Fees 3.0 3.2 Merchandise sales 4.6 3.9 ----- ----- Total revenues 100.0 100.0 Operating expenses Merchandise costs 33.4 33.5 Store expenses Salaries and related 22.9 22.6 Occupancy 7.2 7.6 Advertising 4.7 4.8 Other expenses 12.7 12.2 ----- ----- Total store expenses 47.5 47.2 ----- ----- Total merchandise costs and store expenses 80.9 80.7 General and administrative expenses 7.2 7.2 Amortization of goodwill and noncompete agreements 0.6 0.3 ----- ----- Total operating expenses 88.7 88.2 ----- ----- Operating income 11.3 11.8 Interest expense 0.9 0.5 Other expense, net 0.3 0.7 ----- ----- Income before income taxes 10.1 10.6 Income taxes 4.1 4.4 ----- ----- Net income 6.0 % 6.2 % ===== ===== 8 9 COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999 For the three months ended March 31, 2000, total revenues increased to $22.5 million from $18.3 million, an increase of 23.0% over the comparable 1999 period. The inclusion of a full three months' results from the 13 stores acquired during the first quarter of 1999 accounted for 42.1% of the Company's total increase in revenue or $1.8 million. Revenue from comparable stores (stores in operation on January 1, 1999) accounted for 32.1% of the increase, or $1.4 million, primarily as a result of the growth of stores opened in 1998 and an increase in revenue collected per unit. Revenue from the nine stores opened in 1999 accounted for 24.9% of the total increase in revenue, or $1.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, merchandise costs increased to $7.5 million from $6.1 million, an increase of 22.8% over the comparable 1999 period, but as a percentage of total revenues, decreased to 33.4% from 33.5%. The increase in costs was primarily due to merchandise costs associated with stores opened and acquired in 1999 and 1998. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, total store expenses increased to $10.7 million from $8.6 million, an increase 23.8% over the comparable 1999 period. The increase in total store expenses was primarily due to the inclusion of a full three months' results from the 13 stores acquired in the first quarter of 1999 and from the nine stores added in 1999. This increase accounted for 78.8% of the total increase, or $1.6 million. Store expenses of comparable stores accounted for 12.7% of the increase, or $0.3 million, mainly due to a slight increase in salaries and an increase in the cost of insurance. The three new stores opened during the first quarter accounted for the remaining increase of 8.5%, or $0.2 million. As a percentage of total revenues, total store expenses increased to 47.5% from 47.2%. Salaries and related expenses increased as a percentage of revenue to 22.9% from 22.6% mainly from stores opened in 1999, and to a lesser degree, a slight increase in salaries of comparable stores. Occupancy decreased as a percentage of revenue to 7.2% from 7.6% mainly due to an increase in comparable store revenue on a relatively fixed base of expense. Other expenses increased as a percentage of revenue to 12.7% from 12.2% primarily due to an increase in the cost of insurance. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, general and administrative expenses increased to $1.6 million from $1.3 million, an increase of 23.1% over the comparable 1999 period. The increase was primarily due to the addition of three regional managers and an increase in incentive bonuses paid to executive officers and regional managers. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses remained constant at 7.2%. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, amortization of goodwill and non-compete agreements relating to stores acquired in 1999 and 1998 increased to $132,000 from $61,000 in the comparable 1999 period. The increase was due to the inclusion of a full three months' amortization relating to the acquisitions made in the first quarter of 1999. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, operating income increased to $2.5 million from $2.2 million, an increase of 17.9% over the comparable 1999 period. The increase is attributed to the increased profitability of comparable stores, the increase in revenue collected per unit, the growth of stores opened in 1998, and a full three months' operating income from the 13 stores acquired in the first quarter of 1999. This increase in store level operating income was partially offset by anticipated losses from new stores opened within the last 12 months and increased amortization associated with the 1999 acquisitions. As a percentage of total revenues, operating income decreased slightly to 11.3% from 11.8% due to factors discussed above. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, interest expense increased to $198,000 from $98,000 in the comparable 1999 period. The increase was due to the inclusion of three months of interest expense attributable to the indebtedness related to the Blue Ribbon acquisition on March 1, 1999. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company's effective tax rate decreased to 41.0% from 41.5% due to lower effective state tax rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, net income increased to $1.3 million from $1.1 million, an increase of 18.4% over the comparable 1999 period, and as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 6.0% from 6.2% due to the factors discussed above. 9 10 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary requirements for capital consist of purchasing additional and replacement rental-purchase merchandise, expenditures related to new store openings, acquisitions and working capital requirements for new and existing stores. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, purchases of rental merchandise (excluding acquisitions) amounted to $6.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The increase is attributed to the 22 stores opened and acquired during 1999 offset by a significant reduction of inventories of idle rental merchandise. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, cash provided by operating activities decreased to $1.8 million from $2.8 million for the comparable 1999 period. The decrease was due to decreases in accounts payable, accrued income taxes and accrued compensation. Cash used in investing activities decreased to $0.7 million from $12.1 million. The amount for 1999 includes the acquisition of 19 stores from Rental Mart and Blue Ribbon. Cash used in financing activities was $1.5 million as compared to cash provided by financing activities in the comparable 1999 period of $9.5 million. Borrowings under a revolving loan agreement with a lending institution (the "Credit Facility") to finance the two acquisitions accounted for the cash provided in 1999. The Company currently has a $16.0 million Credit Facility with a maturity date of March 1, 2002. The Credit Facility includes certain cash flow, net worth and idle inventory requirements, as well as covenants which limit the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, transfer assets outside the ordinary course of business, pay dividends, engage in acquisition transactions and make capital expenditures (excluding the purchase of rental merchandise) in excess of a specified amount. Availability under the Company's Credit Facility as of May 12, 2000 was approximately $8.0 million. The Company plans to open an additional 8 stores during the remainder of the year and to increase the number of new store openings thereafter. The Company further believes that it will continue to have the opportunity to increase the number of its stores and rental-purchase agreements through selective acquisitions. Potential acquisitions may vary in size and the Company may consider larger acquisitions that could be material to the Company. To provide any additional funds necessary for the continued pursuit of its growth strategies, the Company may use cash flow from operations, borrow additional amounts under its Credit Facility, seek to obtain additional debt or equity financing, or use its own equity securities, the availability of which will depend upon market and other conditions. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
