NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet and consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and
cash flows contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of October 28, 2000, and the results of operations and
changes in cash flows for the six months then ended. Because of the
seasonal nature of the Company's business, sales and earnings results
for the six months ended October 28, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of what the results will be for the full year. The
consolidated balance sheet as of April 29, 2000 included in this Form
10-Q was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of
the Company included in the Company's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reference should be
made to the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended April 29, 2000.
2. At each balance sheet date, Management evaluates the carrying value and
remaining estimated lives of long-lived assets, including intangible
assets, for potential impairment by considering several factors,
including Management's plans for future operations, recent operating
results, market trends and other economic factors relating to the
operation to which the assets apply. Recoverability of these assets is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of such assets to the
future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the
assets. If such assets were deemed to be impaired as a result of this
measurement, the impairment that would be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value
of the assets as determined on a discounted basis.
3. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). This Statement
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. This statement will be adopted in fiscal 2002. The Company
does not believe the impact of SFAS 133 on reported earnings and
financial position will be material.
4. The Company operates in two business segments: Handleman Entertainment
Resources (H.E.R.) is responsible for music category management and
distribution operations, and North Coast Entertainment (NCE) is
responsible for the Company's proprietary operations, which include
music, video and licensing operations.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described
in Note 1, "Accounting Policies," contained in the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended April 29, 2000. Segment data includes intersegment
revenues, as well as a charge allocating corporate costs to the
operating segments. The Company evaluates performance of its segments
and allocates resources to them based on income before interest, income
taxes and minority interest ("segment income").

Handleman Company
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 which ended October 28, 2000
increased to $297.6 million, from $288.9 million for the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 which ended October 30, 1999. Net income for the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 was $14.1 million or $.51 per diluted share, compared to $13.5
million or $.45 per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2000.
Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2001 were $529.0 million, compared
to $515.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000. Net income for the
first six months of fiscal 2001 was $15.9 million or $.57 per diluted share,
compared to $14.2 million or $.46 per diluted share for the comparable period of
the prior fiscal year.
The Company has two business segments: Handleman Entertainment Resources
("H.E.R.") and North Coast Entertainment ("NCE"). H.E.R. consists of music
category management and distribution operations in the United States, Canada,
United Kingdom, Mexico and Brazil. NCE encompasses the Company's proprietary
operations, which include music, video and licensing operations.
H.E.R. net sales were $255.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001,
compared to net sales of $245.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000.
This increase in net sales was primarily due to the inclusion of sales generated
by Lifetime Entertainment Limited, which was acquired during the third quarter
of the prior fiscal year. H.E.R. net sales for the first six months of this
fiscal year were $462.9 million, compared to $445.6 million for the first six
months of last fiscal year. This increase in net sales for the six-month period
this year versus last year was principally due to sales generated by Lifetime
Entertainment Limited, as mentioned above.
NCE net sales were $46.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001, compared
to $46.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Net sales for the first
six months of this year were $70.8 million, compared to $75.2 million for the
first six months of last year. This decrease in net sales for the first six
months of this year compared to last year was mainly due to lower sales at the
Madacy Entertainment operating unit.
Direct product costs as a percentage of revenues was 73.3% for the second
quarter ended October 28, 2000, compared to 73.8% for the second quarter ended
October 30, 1999. This reduction in direct product costs as a percentage of
revenues was principally due to a greater proportion of catalog sales versus
sales of new music releases in the overall sales mix. Catalog sales have higher
sales prices compared to sales prices of new music releases. Direct product
costs as a percentage of revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2001 was
74.0%, compared to 74.2% for the comparable six-month period last year.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $55.0
million or 18.5% of revenues for the second quarter of this year, compared to
$51.5 million or 17.8% of revenues for the second quarter of last year. SG&A
expenses were higher this year principally due to costs associated with
development of the Company's new e-business initiatives.
9
SG&A expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2001 were $109.2 million or
20.6% of revenues, compared to $106.4 million or 20.7% of revenues for the first
six months of fiscal 2000.
Income before interest, income taxes and minority interest ("operating income")
for the second quarter of this fiscal year was $24.4 million, compared to $24.3
million for the second quarter of last fiscal year. H.E.R. operating income
increased to $17.9 million for the second quarter of this year, from $17.0
million for the second quarter of last year. NCE operating income was $6.3
million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to $7.4 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2000. The decline in NCE operating income resulted from
the operating performance at The itsy bitsy Entertainment Company.
Operating income for the first six months of this fiscal year increased to $28.2
million, from $26.5 million for the first six months of last fiscal year. H.E.R.
operating income improved 39% to $23.8 million for the first six months of
fiscal 2001, from $17.1 million for the comparable prior year period. NCE
operating income was $3.9 million for the first six months of this year,
compared to $9.5 million for the first six months of last year. This decrease in
operating income at NCE was primarily due to lower operating performance at The
itsy bitsy Entertainment Company. For fiscal 2001, Management expects the
combined operating results for NCE's Anchor Bay and Madacy Entertainment
operating units to approximate their fiscal 2000 operating income levels.
Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 was $.7 million, compared
to $.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Interest expense for the
six months ended October 28, 2000 was $1.6 million, compared to $1.3 million for
the six months ended October 30, 1999.
Accounts receivable increased to $248.7 million at October 28, 2000, from $234.0
million at April 29, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to the
increased sales volume in the second quarter of this year, compared to the
fourth quarter of the prior year.
Merchandise inventories increased to $145.6 million at October 28, 2000, from
$100.3 million at April 29, 2000. This increase was mainly due to increased
inventory purchases in preparation for the upcoming holiday season.
Other assets, net at October 28, 2000 were $98.5 million, compared to $90.0
million at April 29, 2000. This increase was primarily due to additional license
investments within NCE.
Accounts payable at October 28, 2000 were $230.9 million, compared to $202.3
million at April 29, 2000. This increase principally resulted from increased
inventory purchases in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2000 as mentioned above.
Accrued and other liabilities at October 28, 2000 were $39.3 million, compared
to $31.2 million at April 29, 2000. This increase was primarily due to higher
royalties payable within NCE.
During the second quarter of this year, the Company repurchased 365,500 shares
of its stock at an average price of $11.11 per share. Since September 1997, the
Company has repurchased approximately 20% of its outstanding shares (prior to
initiating the stock repurchase programs) at a cost of $76 million. Under the
current Board of Directors stock
10
repurchase authorization which expires on December 13, 2000, the Company can
repurchase up to $2 million in additional shares of stock.
The Company is cautiously optimistic regarding operating results for the next
quarter and balance of this fiscal year based on the strength of new music
releases that will be available this holiday season. The Company continues to
make progress relative to its new e-business initiatives linked to its category
management services. The expansion of the Company's SKU selection to provide
fulfillment for e-commerce is anticipated to be completed by the end of calendar
2000. When completed, the Company's U.S. SKU count will total approximately
60,000, accommodate direct to consumer fulfillment in partnership with the
Company's retail customers, and will support in-store pickup of merchandise
ordered electronically. In addition, the Company expects to have its first
generation, internet-based music kiosk available to test pilot in a select group
of customer retail stores within the next 30 days. These kiosks will serve as
the "music expert," providing a wide range of information on each title,
including track information, music sampling and product availability. Through
the kiosks, consumers will be able to order additional titles not found on the
store shelves. The Company will integrate its new e-fulfillment options with its
customers, allowing the consumer to have the product shipped to the consumer's
home or to the retail store for pickup. During the third or fourth quarter of
fiscal 2001, the Company anticipates the testing of manufacturing on demand
through these kiosks. In addition, the Company has developed an application
service provider (ASP) service to support ordering music product through
customer web-sites.
