BIG DOG HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring entries necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto for Big Dog Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Big Dog USA, Inc. (the "Company") included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. NOTE 2. Short-term Borrowings The Company has a borrowing arrangement with a bank whereby the Company may, from time to time and upon approval from the bank, borrow up to $8 million. Such borrowings may be used for cash advances and letters of credit. The borrowing arrangement provides for interest at the bank's prime rate less 3/8% or 250 basis points over the LIBOR rate and is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had no advances and $250,000 of letters of credit outstanding. The letters of credit expire through December 31, 1999. NOTE 3. Dividend Paid On March 6, 1999, the Company paid an annual dividend to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 22, 1999, in the amount of $0.10 per share, totaling $1,210,000. NOTE 4. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 in the year ending December 31, 2000. The Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes related thereto. Certain minor differences in the amounts below result from rounding of the amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 NET SALES. Net sales consist of sales from the Company's stores, catalog, and wholesale accounts, all net of returns and allowances. Net sales increased to $16.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $14.2 million for the same period in 1998, an increase of $2.5 million or 17.6%. Of the increase, $1.6 million was attributable to stores not yet qualifying as comparable stores, $0.3 million from a 2.3% comparable stores sales increase and $0.6 million from an increase in the Company's wholesale business. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $7.7 million for the same period in 1998, an increase of $1.2 million or 15.6%. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 53.1% in the three months ended March 31, 1999 from 53.8% in the same period in 1998. This 0.7% decrease was due in part to a change in product sales mix and an increase in lower-margined wholesale sales. SELLING, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses consist of expenses associated with creating, distributing and selling products through all channels of distribution, including occupancy, payroll and catalog costs. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses increased to $11.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $10.5 million in the same period for 1998, an increase of $0.8 million, or 7.6%. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased to 67.6% in the three months ended March 31, 1999 from 73.5% in the same period in 1998. The 5.9% decrease in selling, marketing and distribution expenses is primarily attributable to operating efficiencies achieved with respect to the Company's distribution center. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses consist of administrative salaries, corporate occupancy costs and other corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses remained constant at $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased to 7.3% in the three months ended March 31, 1999 from 8.1% in the same period in 1998. The percentage decrease in general and administrative expenses reflects the operating leverage of spreading these expenses over a larger revenue base. INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased to $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $0.3 million in the same period in 1998, principally due to lower cash balances in 1998. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the first quarter of 1999, the Company's primary uses of cash were for merchandise inventories, income taxes and dividends paid to stockholders. The Company satisfied its cash requirements primarily from cash flow from operations and excess cash. Cash used in operating activities was $8.7 million and $9.0 million for the first three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash used in investment activities for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 were $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Cash flows used in investment activities in the first quarter of 1999 related to the build-out of the second floor mezzanine at the Company's distribution facility and capital additions to the Company's existing stores. Cash flows used in investment activities in the first quarter of 1998 related primarily to build-out and equipment purchases related to the Company's distribution facility and 4 new store openings. Cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 were $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company paid an annual dividend of $0.10 per share to stockholders. In the same period of 1998, the Company repurchased 149,000 shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of $988,000. The Company has a borrowing arrangement with a bank whereby the Company may, from time to time and upon approval from the bank, borrow up to $8 million. Such borrowings may be used for cash advances and letters of credit. The borrowing arrangement provides for interest at the bank's prime rate less 3/8% or 250 basis points over the LIBOR rate and is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had no advances and $250,000 of letters of credit outstanding. The letters of credit expire through December 31, 1999. SEASONALITY The Company believes its seasonality is somewhat different than many apparel retailers since a significant number of the Company's stores are located in tourist areas and outdoor malls that have different visitation patterns than urban and suburban retail centers. The third and fourth quarters (consisting of the summer vacation, back-to-school and Christmas seasons) have historically accounted for the largest percentage of the Company's annual sales and profits. The Company has historically incurred operating losses in its first quarter and may be expected to do so in the foreseeable future. YEAR 2000 The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written to use two digits to define year dates. Computer programs running date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in systems failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations. In March 1999, the Company completed the upgrading of its major software systems to a new release which has been certified as Year 2000 compliant. The Company has substantially completed the internal testing of its information technology systems and will continue to monitor such systems through the summer of 1999. The Company has also addressed internally its non-information technology related systems and expects no significant operational problems relating to the Year 2000 issues. The costs of the Company's Year 2000 compliance project are not expected to be material to the Company's financial position. The Company has requested all significant third-party vendors to certify Year 2000 compliance. While there can be no guaranty that such vendors will be Year 2000 compliant, the Company does not expect any material adverse impact on its business operations by the failure of any of its vendors to complete any required changes related to the Year 2000 date conversion.
