Page 5 6 KRAUSE'S FURNITURE, INC - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Krause's Furniture, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including the Company's principal subsidiary, Krause's Custom Crafted Furniture Corp. ("Krause's") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation for the periods reported. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations, although management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In January 2000, the Company changed its fiscal year from the Sunday closest to January 31 to the Sunday closest to December 25. This report is for the unaudited first fiscal 2000 quarter ended March 26, 2000. Unaudited operating and cash flow information has been presented for the comparable fiscal 1999 period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 1999. The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. Inventories Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method and are comprised of the following: March 26, December 26, 2000 1999 ---------- ------------ (in thousands) Manufactured finished goods $ 8,437 $ 7,991 Finished goods purchased from others 10,608 10,370 Work in progress 275 180 Raw materials 5,602 6,748 ------- ------- $24,922 $25,289 ======= ======= 3. Notes Payable Page 6 7 Notes payable consists of the following: March 26, December 26, 2000 1999 -------- -------- (in thousands) Secured revolving credit notes $ 10,480 $ 12,655 Subordinated notes payable to shareholders 12,001 12,001 Unamortized debt discount, net of accumulated amortization of $2,308 ($2,120 at December 26, 1999) (1,967) (2,155) Other notes 1,203 1,336 -------- -------- 21,717 23,837 Less current portion 416 491 -------- -------- $ 21,301 $ 23,346 ======== ======== The secured revolving credit notes were issued under a revolving credit agreement, which was most recently amended March 31, 2000, (the "Revolving Credit Facility") between Krause's and a financial institution that expires March 2002. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for revolving loans of up to $15 million, based on the value of eligible inventories. Available borrowing capacity under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility at March 26, 2000 was $3,270,000. Substantially all of Krause's assets are pledged as collateral for the loan that is guaranteed by the Company. Interest on the loan is payable monthly at a margin ranging from .5% to 1.0% in excess of the prime rate (9.00% at March 26, 2000) which margin varies depending on the Company's performance. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements related to the subordinated notes and the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company and Krause's are required to maintain certain financial ratios and minimum levels of tangible net worth and working capital. In addition, the Company and Krause's are restricted from entering into certain transactions or making certain payments and dividend distributions without the prior consent of the lenders. As of March 26, 2000, the Company and Krause's were in compliance with the terms and conditions of these agreements. 4. Net Loss Per Share Net loss per share amounts were computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods reported. Common equivalent shares are not included in the computation since such share equivalents are antidilutive. There were no differences between basic and diluted loss per share. 5. Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock On January 14 and 19, 2000, the Company completed a private placement of 380,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $50.00 per share. Proceeds from the private placement totaled approximately $18,700,000 after deducting legal fees and related expenses. Pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and the purchasers of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company and the purchasers have agreed that $10 million of the proceeds will be used to launch the Company's business to business and e-Commerce activities, including commerce related to transactions on the internet, and that the balance of the proceeds will be used to pay down debt, to fund the opening of new showrooms, and for general corporate purposes. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into approximately 45.45 Page 7 8 shares of common stock at any time at the option of the holder; has voting rights equal to approximately 45.45 shares of common stock; has certain redemption features; and does not pay a dividend. Conversion is mandatory upon the occurrence of a qualified public offering, as defined. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have, as to any distribution of assets, a preference to the holders of common stock in an amount aggregating $19 million. Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may not request redemption prior to January, 2005, except in the event of a change in control of the Company or a default, prior to January, 2002, under the Securities Purchase Agreement; an event of default includes the Company's failure to receive approval of the Board of Directors of its e-Commerce business plan and its failure to use $10 million of proceeds from the private placement for its e-Commerce business plan. The redemption price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is equal to $50.00 per share. The Company has no right to call or redeem any shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Page 8 9 PART I, ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995. These statements include those related to the Company's plans for sales through e-Commerce and business-to-business channels; management's strategy for opening new stores, remodeling existing stores and improving the Company's marketing approach; and those related to management's expectation that the Company will achieve profitability. They also include statements throughout the report using such forward-looking terminology as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "continue," "estimate," or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements involve risks and uncertainties which may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in these statements. Among other things, o we lack experience in e-Commerce and business-to-business sales; o demand for and acceptance of the Company's products could decrease; o the market for furniture sales over the internet may not grow; o the retail environment and the ability of the Company to execute its operating strategies could deteriorate; o the Company's planned marketing and promotional campaigns may not be successful; and o developer delays, weather and other conditions could slow the opening of new stores; and competition from existing and new competitors could increase. These risks and the other economic, competitive and other factors noted elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in filings recently made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Form 10-K and a Registration Statement on Form S-1, which became effective on March 30, 1998, constitute cautionary statements that identify risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein. In 1997, management implemented a strategic plan for the business which provides, among other things, for remodeling showrooms to provide a more appealing setting for customers, opening new showrooms both in existing and new markets and closing underperforming showrooms. To date, 38 showrooms have been remodeled, 29 showrooms have been opened, and 15 showrooms have been closed. In the opinion of management, this plan is expected to ultimately return the Company to profitability; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability. As more fully described in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on January 14 and 19, 2000, the Company completed a private placement of 380,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, net proceeds from which totaled $18,700,000; of this amount, $10,000,000 is restricted to the development and implementation of its internet business initiatives. Management believes this investment will more rapidly enable the Company to leverage its considerable manufacturing and Page 9 10 distribution assets by becoming a leading retail e-Commerce provider in custom upholstered furniture while also providing business-to-business solutions for other furniture e-retailers and independent furniture retailers served by internet alliance customers; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard. Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital to fund its plan to remodel showrooms and open new showrooms throughout fiscal 2000 as well as to support the launch of its business-to-business and e-Commerce initiatives; however, if this proves not to be the case, the Company will need to obtain additional capital and there can be no assurance that any additional equity or debt financing will be available or available on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company's long-term success is dependent upon management's ability to successfully execute its plans and, ultimately, to achieve sustained profitable operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal cash needs are for funding capital expenditures to open new showrooms and remodel existing showrooms; for manufacturing samples of upholstered furniture for display in its new and existing showrooms as well as to purchase merchandise from other manufacturers that complement the upholstered furniture manufactured and displayed by the Company; for funding capital expenditures related to the improvement and maintenance of its management information systems; and to fund the development and deployment of the Company's e-Commerce strategy. The cash required for funding production and fulfillment of customer orders is typically provided by the Company's customers from a deposit made at the time an order is placed. Beginning in fiscal 2001, the Company will also require capital to make the scheduled principal payments on its subordinated notes. In recent periods, the Company has incurred additional debt and raised equity capital to cover operating deficits and to finance the remodeling and expansion of its showrooms. In fiscal 2000, management plans to add approximately sixteen to twenty additional showrooms (of which six have been opened through March 26, 2000), at an aggregate cost of approximately $3.6 million. In addition, current plans call for the closing of approximately six showrooms (of which two have been closed through March 26, 2000) in fiscal 2000. Management expects to fund such capital expenditures by internally generated cash and by borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 26, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10,829,000 and unused borrowing capacity under its revolving credit agreement of approximately $3,270,000. Approximately $9,945,000 of the Company's cash and cash equivalents at March 26, 2000 is restricted to the development and implementation of the Company's e-Commerce initiatives. Cash flow activity for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2000 and March 28, 1999 is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Cash Flow - Thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2000 During the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2000, cash and cash equivalents increased by $10,749,000. Operating activities used net cash of $4,348,000, principally from a cash loss from operations of $1,033,000; a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $5,148,000, increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets of $659,000 and $319,000, respectively, offset in part by increased customer deposits of $2,444,000 and a decrease in inventories of $367,000. Investing activities during the period included capital expenditures of $1,295,000 which was used primarily to open six new showrooms and to fund capital requirements of the ongoing upgrade of the Page 10 11 management information systems infrastructure. Financing activities during the period consisted principally of net proceeds of $18,700,000 from the sale of 380,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, net payments of $2,175,000 on the Company's Revolving Credit Facility and $133,000 of principal payments on other indebtedness. Management plans to continue its strategy of adding new showrooms in existing and new markets. The Company expects to fund the related expenditures from internally generated cash and from borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility. The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $3.6 million related to this program in fiscal 2000. Cash Flow - Thirteen weeks ended March 28, 1999 During the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 1999, cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,069,000. Operating activities provided net cash of $1,684,000, principally from increases in customer deposits and accounts payable and other liabilities of $2,300,000 and $1,639,000, respectively, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $403,000, offset in part by a cash loss from operations of $848,000, and increases in inventories and accounts receivable of $1,486,000 and $324,000, respectively. The increase in inventory was principally due to the Company's decision to expand its accessories business and higher levels of finished goods required in part by the addition of new stores. Investing activities during the period included capital expenditures of $1,177,000. Financing activities during the period consisted of net borrowings of $562,000, primarily under the Company's revolving credit facility. Page 11 12 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth the percentage relationship of net sales to certain items included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations: 13 Weeks Ended ------------------------------ March 26, March 28, 2000 1999 ------------ ------------ Net sales 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales 45.0 46.1 ----- ----- Gross profit 55.0 53.9 Operating expenses: Selling 50.3 49.5 General and administrative 7.9 7.2 Amortization of goodwill 0.7 0.7 ----- ----- Total operating expenses 58.9 57.4 ----- ----- Loss from operations (3.9) (3.5) Interest expense, net (1.6) (2.0) Other expense -- -- ----- ----- Net loss (5.5%) (5.5%) ===== ===== 13 Weeks Ended ------------------------ March 26, March 28, Store (Showroom) Data 2000 1999 - --------------------- --------- ---------- Stores open at beginning of period 91 85 Stores opened during period 6 7 Stores closed during period 2 1 ---- ---- Stores open at end of period 95 91 Average sales per showroom (1) $415 $389 Comparable store sales increase (2) 5.8% 13.2% (1) Based upon the weighted average number of stores open during the period indicated. (2) Comparable store sales are calculated by excluding the net sales of any store for any month of the period if the store was not open during the same month of the prior period. Also, a store opened at any time during the month is deemed to have been open for the entire month. Page 12 13 Thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2000 compared to thirteen weeks ended March 28, 1999 Net Sales. Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 were $39,017,000 compared to $34,934,000 for the comparable period of fiscal 1999. The increase in sales was due principally to management's continuing strategy of opening new showrooms in existing and new markets, developing new products, increasing the promotion and sale of accessories, and fine-tuning the marketing and sales promotion program. The overall $4,083,000 increase in net sales is attributable to a $1,857,000 or 5.8% increase in same-store sales, a $4,922,000 increase from new stores and $11,000 of sales from the e-Commerce division offset in part by a decrease of $2,707,000 from closed stores. Gross Profit. Gross profit was 55.0% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, as compared to 53.9% of net sales for the comparable period of fiscal 1999. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of higher retail prices, reduced discounting and new product acceptance by customers. Selling Expenses. Selling expenses were $19,638,000 or 50.3% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $17,279,000 or 49.5% of sales in the same period last year. The increase of $2,359,000 in selling expenses was primarily due to higher variable expenses related to increased sales volume, higher occupancy costs related to having opened four net new stores in the past twelve months, and higher advertising costs as a result of increased use of color circulars. $48,000 of the total increase is related to expenses from the e-Commerce division. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $571,000 and as a percentage of sales rose from 7.2% for the quarter ended March 28, 1999 to 7.9% for the quarter ended March 26, 2000. Approximately $173,000 of the total increase is related to expenses for the e-Commerce initiative, consisting primarily of strategy consulting costs, and $163,000 is related to costs incurred in connection with the Company's management information systems conversion. The remainder of the increase is primarily a result of higher payroll costs. Interest Expense. Interest expense, including amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs, net of interest income, for the quarter ended March 26, 2000 decreased by $77,000 over the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to interest income of $111,000 included in the current quarter. Interest income is attributable primarily to the $10 million restricted to the development and implementation of the Company's e-Commerce initiatives. Interest expense consists of the following: March 26, March 28, 2000 1999 --------- --------- (in thousands) Interest expense on debt $552 $518 Amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs 194 194 ---- ---- 746 712 Interest income 111 -- ---- ---- Interest expense, net $635 $712 ==== ==== Income Taxes. The Company paid no income taxes and no income tax benefit was recorded for either the first quarter of fiscal 2000 or fiscal 1999 due to uncertainties regarding the realization of deferred tax assets available. Page 13 14 Net Loss. As a result of the above factors, the net loss was $2,179,000 for the quarter ended March 26, 2000 as compared to a loss of $1,917,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net loss per share in the 2000 quarter was $0.10 versus a loss of $0.09 in the same period of fiscal 1999. PART I, ITEM 3 Market Risk Exposure There were no material changes in items affecting market risk. Refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 1999 for more detail. Page 14 15 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings Reference is made to Item 3 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 1999. There has been no material change. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds Sale of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. On January 14, 2000, the Company sold 280,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred") and sold an additional 100,000 shares on January 19, 2000. The purchase price of the Series A Preferred was $50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $19,000,000. The Company sold the Series A Preferred directly, without the services of an underwriter, in a private placement made in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. All of the purchasers were accredited investors within the meaning of Regulation D. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $18,700,000 after expenses related to the placement. Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into approximately 45.45 shares of the Company's common stock at the conversion rate of $1.10 per share of common stock. The Company does not have sufficient authorized common stock to permit the conversion of the Series A Preferred. The stockholders will vote on a proposal to authorize additional common stock for this purpose at the annual meeting on May 17, 2000. Once the additional common stock is authorized by the stockholders, holders of the Series A Preferred will have the right to convert their shares into common stock at any time. The Series A Preferred will be converted automatically into common stock if the Company completes a public offering of its shares with gross proceeds in excess of $25,000,000, and at a price per share of Common Stock of at least $3.30. The Series A Preferred will also be converted automatically if holders of 66 2/3% of the Series A Preferred agree to do so. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None Item 4.
