NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
FABRI-CENTERS OF AMERICA, INC.
APRIL 30, 1994, JANUARY 29, 1994 AND MAY 1, 1993
1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Fabri-Centers of America, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiaries (the "Company") and have been prepared without audit,
pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those
rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not
misleading. The statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
29, 1994. The statements present the Company's Cargo Express Stores
division as a discontinued operation, accordingly, except as noted,
the statements pertain to only the Company's continuing operations.
In the opinion of Management, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim periods.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
A. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost determined by the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method or market.
B. Store physical inventories are taken on a cycle basis
throughout the fiscal year, with an approximate equal
percentage of stores inventoried each fiscal quarter. Store
inventories subsequent to the physical inventory are charged
at cost for shipments of merchandise to the stores and are
relieved at cost for the sale of merchandise.
C. The expenses incurred in connection with the opening of new
stores are charged to operations in the period the store is
opened.
D. Earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average
number of shares and share equivalents outstanding during the
fiscal period.
Page 5 of 13
6
E. Depreciation of buildings, furniture and fixtures and
leasehold improvements is provided by charges to operations on
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Accelerated methods of depreciation are used for
federal income tax purposes.
F. Certain reclassifications have been made of amounts reported
in fiscal 1994 in order to conform with the presentation for
fiscal 1995.
G. The Company is a national specialty retailer of fabric and
related products through Company-operated retail stores. The
stores sell a wide variety of fashion and decorator fabrics,
related notions, patterns, crafts, seasonal and other
merchandise.
3. Effective January 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
As permitted by SFAS 109, the Company elected not to restate the
financial statements for any prior years. The effect of the change on
pre-tax earnings from continuing operations for the three months ended
May 1, 1993, was not material; however, the cumulative effect of the
change increased net earnings by $399,000, or $0.04 per share, for the
first quarter of fiscal 1994.
4. As of January 29, 1994, the Company provided $5,201,000 net of tax
benefit, for the liquidation of its housewares division, Cargo Express
Stores (Cargo Express), primarily for the write-off of fixed assets,
estimated costs to complete the liquidation and estimated operating
losses to be incurred through completion of the liquidation. During
the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company completed the
liquidation of Cargo Express which did not require the recognition of
any additional gain or loss.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Except where otherwise noted, Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations pertains to the Company's
continuing operations. Assets and liabilities of Cargo Express have been
reclassified on the balance sheets as net liabilities of discontinued
operation.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 30, 1994 VS. MAY 1, 1993
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 decreased 5.1%, or $7.1
million, to $132.7 million from $139.8 million in fiscal 1994. The decrease in
sales was primarily attributable to lower levels of promotional discounting in
the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to the same quarter a year ago.
Comparable store sales decreased 4.6% in the first quarter against the same
quarter a year earlier.
Gross profit increased $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1995 compared to the same quarter of fiscal 1994. As a percentage of net
sales, fiscal 1995 first quarter gross profit was 42.4%, an increase of 2.4
percentage points from the gross profit of 40.0% for the same quarter a year
earlier. The higher gross profit was the direct result of less aggressive
promotional pricing by the Company and a general easing in the discounting
practices of the fabric retailing industry.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of
fiscal 1995 decreased $0.6 million from the same quarter a year ago. This
decrease was attributable to lower costs associated with the implementation of
new management information systems, which were offset in part by increased
store-level spending directed at improving the level of customer service. As a
percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 1.7
percentage points to 42.7% from 41.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 1994
primarily as a result of lower sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal 1995
compared to fiscal 1994.
Net interest expense increased $0.3 million to $1.6 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1994.
This increase was primarily attributable to a higher weighted average interest
rate on bank borrowings.
The Company's effective income tax rate was 38.5% for the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to 37.5% for the same quarter a year ago.
The change in effective tax rate was attributable to the change in the federal
corporate tax rate from 34% to 35% as a result of the Revenue Reconciliation
Act of 1993,
Page 7 of 13
8
as well as fluctuations in the Company's state income tax rates.
The net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was $1.3 million, or
$0.13 per share, which compares to the net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.14 per
share, for the same quarter a year earlier. The net loss in the first quarter
of fiscal 1994 included a one-time credit of $0.4 million, or $0.04 per share,
from the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes."
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Fabri-Centers completed the first quarter of fiscal 1995 in sound
financial condition. At April 30, 1994, the Company had working capital of
$166.9 million compared to $169.5 million at January 29, 1994. The ratio of
current assets to current liabilities was 3.2:1 at both April 30, 1994, and
January 29, 1994.
The Company generated positive cash flow from operations of $4.9
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to a negative cash flow
from operations of $4.9 million for the same quarter a year ago. The
improvement is primarily a result of the Company continuing to manage inventory
levels in relation to planned sales levels.
Capital expenditures were $2.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal
1995 as compared to $2.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1994. For
fiscal 1995, the Company expects capital expenditures to be less than $15.0
million and to be used primarily to invest in new equipment and in the opening
of 40 superstores while closing 45 smaller units. It is anticipated that the
capital required for these expenditures will be financed by internally
generated funds, a revolving credit facility, and other existing lines of
credit.
The Company has borrowing capacity up to a maximum of $140.0 million
available through a $125.0 million revolving credit facility which expires May
31, 1995, as well as through existing lines of credit. As of April 30, 1994,
the Company had $43.0 million in borrowings outstanding under these facilities,
representing a decrease of $2.5 million from the fiscal year ended January 29,
1994. The Company continues to maintain excellent vendor and banking
relationships and has sufficient current resources, including unused lines of
credit, to meet the financing needs of its operations.
The Company may purchase from time to time in the open market or in
private transactions shares of Company common stock. These shares will be used
to satisfy obligations under the Company's employee benefit plans and for other
corporate purposes. The
Page 8 of 13

number of shares that can be acquired pursuant to prior authorization by the
Board of Directors is 1,028,325.
In the highly competitive retail fabric business, the Company competes
with other specialty fabric and craft stores and, to a lesser extent,
department stores and mass merchants on the basis of assortment, price and
convenience. The Company is taking steps to improve margins through revised
promotional pricing policies and better store operating procedures.
Accordingly, sales results could be somewhat weaker as the Company will not be
driving sales as hard through promotions.
The Company's business exhibits seasonality which is typical of most
retail companies, with much stronger sales in the second half of the fiscal
year than the first half of the fiscal year. In general, net earnings are the
highest during the months of September through December, when high sales
volumes normally provide significant operating leverage. Conversely, net
earnings are substantially lower during the relatively low sales volume months
of January through August. Accordingly, a loss for the second quarter, which
is traditionally the Company's slowest quarter, is expected.
Through the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company has opened 8 new
superstores and closed 9 smaller stores. As of April 30, 1994, the Company
operated 654 stores in 36 states, of which 504 are superstores.
