DUTY FREE INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Duty Free International, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company") as of July 27, 1997 and for the three and six month
periods ended July 27, 1997 and July 28, 1996, are unaudited but include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which the Company's
management believes to be necessary for the fair presentation of the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company at and for the
interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the full year.
The balance sheet at January 26, 1997 has been derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements of the Company at that date.
Certain amounts for the period ended July 28, 1996 have been reclassified to
conform to the presentation for the period ended July 27, 1997.
Note 2 Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Long-term investments in affiliates in which the
Company does not have a majority interest or control are accounted for by the
equity method of accounting. All significant inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note 3 Net Earnings Per Share
Net earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during each period.
Note 4 Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
The only financial derivatives used by the Company are foreign exchange forward
contracts. The Company had approximately $14,926,000 of foreign exchange forward
contracts outstanding at July 27, 1997 to purchase British Pounds, Swiss Francs,
German Marks, and French Francs. The contracts outstanding at July 27, 1997
mature at various dates in fiscal 1998. The contracts' fair values, based on
quoted market prices, were approximately $14,432,000 as of July 27, 1997.
Note 5 Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation and proceedings arising
out of the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of such proceedings
can not be determined with certainty, the Company believes that the final
outcomes should not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 6 Subsequent Event
On August 5, 1997, the Company was acquired by BAA plc. Under the terms of the
acquistion, BAA plc paid $24.00 for each share of the Company's outstanding
common stock.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net earnings for the three month and six month periods ended July 27, 1997 were
$5,091,000 or $0.19 per share, and $7,690,000 or $0.28 per share, respectively,
a decrease of approximately 15% and 6%, respectively, from $6,009,000 or $0.22
per share and $8,191,000 or $0.30 per share, for the three and six month periods
ended July 28, 1996.

The Company's net sales increased approximately $8 million or 6% and $23 million
or 9% for the three month and six month periods ended July 27, 1997 when
compared with the three month and six month periods ended July 28, 1996.
Divisional results that primarily contributed to the Company's net sales growth
were:
o The Southern Border's sales growth for the three month and six month
periods ended July 27, 1997 was approximately 20%, which was attributed
to the continued stabilization of the Mexican economy.
o Inflight's approximate 2% and 5% respective sales increases, for the
three and six months ended July 27, 1997, were directly related to the
duty free concession programs with Air Canada and Canadian
International Airlines. These programs commenced operations on March 1,
1996 and July 1, 1996, respectively.
o The Airport division realized net sales growth of approximately 12% and
16%, respectively, for the three and six months ended July 27, 1997,
primarily because of new store openings at the Chicago O'Hare and John
F. Kennedy International Airports, as well as an enhanced product line.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 44.4% for the three
months ended July 27, 1997 from 44.7% for the same period in the prior year.
Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 43.7% for the six
months ended July 27, 1997 from 44.0% for the same period in the prior year. The
fluctuations were attributable to the change in sales mix as a percentage of
total.
Advertising, Storage and Other Operating Income
Advertising, storage and other operating income decreased approximately $48,000
for the three months ended July 27, 1997 but increased $50,000 for the six
months ended July 27, 1997, when compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
increased to 38.3% for the three months ended July 27, 1997 from 37.8% for the
same period in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as
a percentage of net sales, was approximately 39% for the six months ended July
27, 1997 and the six months ended July 28,1996. The fluctuation was attributable
to an increase in operating costs without a corresponding increase in sales.
Operating Income
Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased from 7.7% for the three
months ended July 28, 1996 to 6.7% for the three months ended July 27, 1997.
Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased from 6.1% for the six
months ended July 28, 1996 to 5.6% for the six months ended July 27, 1997. The
fluctuations were attributable to the decrease in gross profit as a percent of
net sales and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percent of net sales.
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate was 37.0% for the three and six month periods
ended July 27, 1997 and July 28, 1996.
FORM 10-Q
Page 10 of 12
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of July 27, 1997, net cash provided by operations was $12,550,000, working
capital was $146,075,000 and the Company had $62,936,000 of cash and
investments.
As of and for the quarter ended July 27, 1997, there were no outstanding
borrowings under the Company's $75,000,000 revolving line of credit facility.
The Company believes that the combination of the cash flow generated by its
operations, current cash balances and its available credit facility will be
sufficient to finance its growth and meet its projected capital expenditures and
other liquidity requirements.
REGULATION AND ECONOMIC FACTORS AFFECTING THE DUTY FREE INDUSTRY
The Company's sales and gross profit margins are affected by factors
specifically related to the duty free industry. Most countries have allowances
on the import of duty free goods. Decreases in the duty free allowances of
foreign countries or stricter eligibility requirements for duty free purchases,
as well as decreases in tax and duty rates imposed by foreign jurisdictions
could have a negative effect on the Company's sales and gross profit margins
(particularly Canada and Mexico). Conversely, increases could have a positive
effect on the Company's sales and gross profit.
The principal customers of the Company are residents of foreign countries whose
purchases of duty free merchandise may be affected by trends in the economies of
foreign countries and changes in the value of the US dollar relative to their
own currencies. Any significant increase in the value of the US dollar relative
to the currencies of foreign countries, particularly Canada, Mexico and Japan,
could have an adverse impact on the number of travelers visiting the United
States and the dollar amount of duty free purchases made by them from the
Company. A significant increase in gasoline prices or a shortage of fuel may
also reduce the number of international travelers and thereby adversely affect
the Company's sales. In addition, the Company imports a significant portion of
its products from Western Europe and Canada at prices negotiated either in US
dollars or foreign currencies. As a result, the Company's costs are affected by
fluctuations in the value of the US dollar in relation to certain major Western
European currencies and the Canadian dollar. A decrease in the purchasing power
of the US dollar relative to other currencies causes a corresponding increase in
the purchase price of products. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward
contracts as a hedge against a portion of its exposure to currency fluctuations
on commitments to purchase merchandise.
