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 second fiscal 2000 quarter ended June 25, 2000. Unaudited
operating and cash flow information has been presented for the comparable 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 and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 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:
June 25, December 26,

-------- ------------

Manufactured finished goods $ 8,320 $ 7,991

3. Notes Payable
Notes payable consists of the following:
June 25, December 26,
2000 1999
-------- ------------
(in thousands)
Secured revolving credit notes $13,001 $12,655
Subordinated notes payable to shareholders 12,001 12,001
Unamortized debt discount, net of

($2,120 at December 26, 1999) (1,752) (2,155)

------- -------
24,398 23,837
Less current portion 1,416 491
------- -------
$22,982 $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 June 25, 2000 was
$728,000. 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 (9.50% at June
25, 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 June 25, 2000, the
Company and Krause's were in compliance with the terms and conditions of the
Revolving Credit Facility but were out of compliance with certain of the terms
and conditions of the subordinated notes. Subsequent to June 25, 2000, the
Company received a waiver of such non-compliance and amendments to future
covenants from the holders of the subordinated notes. It is possible the Company
may not be in compliance with its loan covenants in the third quarter of fiscal
2000; however, management believes, based upon its historical experience, that
it will be able to obtain waivers and/or amendments to the covenants.
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 $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
7
8
balance of the proceeds will be used to pay down debt, to fund the opening of
new showrooms, and for general corporate purposes.
On May 5, 2000, the Company issued 24,702 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock at a price of $50.00 per share in lieu of cash interest on its
subordinated notes covering the thirteen-month period from March 1, 2000 through
March 31, 2001. These shares were valued at $2,175,000 based on the market value
on May 5, 2000 of the underlying Common Stock. The Company recorded this value
as prepaid interest and will amortize it to interest expense using the effective
interest method over the remaining life of the subordinated notes.
Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into
approximately 45.45 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 $19,748,000 at June 25,
2000 or $50.00 per outstanding share. 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.
During the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2000, holders of 9,750 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock converted their shares into 443,181 shares
of Common Stock of the Company.

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-3, which became effective on May 23, 2000,
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, 31 showrooms have been opened, and 16 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 million is
earmarked for the development and implementation of the Company's internet
business initiatives. Management
9
10
believes this investment will more rapidly enable the Company to leverage its
considerable manufacturing and 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 will have sufficient capital to fund
its operations, remodel showrooms and open new showrooms, pay interest on its
debt, and make scheduled repayments of its subordinated notes for the next
twelve months 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 complements the
upholstered furniture manufactured and displayed by the Company; for funding
capital expenditures related to the improvement and maintenance of its
management information systems; to fund the development and deployment of the
Company's e-Commerce strategy; and to pay interest on its debt. 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 on March 31, 2001 and quarterly thereafter, 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. On May 5, 2000, the Company and the holders of its
subordinated notes exercised their respective options to eliminate cash interest
on the subordinated notes for the period March 1, 2000 through March 31, 2001 in
exchange for issuance of 24,702 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
In fiscal 2000, management plans to add approximately sixteen to eighteen
additional showrooms (of which eight have been opened through June 25, 2000), at
an aggregate cost of approximately $2.7 million. In addition, current plans call
for the closing of approximately six showrooms of which three have been closed
through June 25, 2000. Management expects to fund such capital expenditures by
internally generated cash, by borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit
Facility, and from cash on hand including up to $2.5 million of funds earmarked
for the Company's e-Commerce initiatives.
As of June 25, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$10,246,000 and unused borrowing capacity under its revolving credit agreement
of approximately $728,000. Approximately $9,633,000 of the Company's cash and
cash equivalents at June 25, 2000 was earmarked for the development and
implementation of the Company's e-Commerce initiatives. Cash flow activity for
the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2000 and June 27, 1999 is presented in the
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Cash Flow - Twenty-Six weeks ended June 25, 2000
During the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2000, cash and cash equivalents
increased by
10
11
$10,166,000. Operating activities used net cash of $6,278,000, principally from
a cash loss from operations of $3,306,000; a decrease in accounts payable and
other liabilities of $5,675,000, and an increase in accounts receivable of
$696,000, all of which were offset in part by increased customer deposits of
$2,575,000 and decreases in inventories of $753,000 and prepaid expenses and
other assets of $71,000. Investing activities during the period included capital
expenditures of $2,414,000 which was used primarily to open eight new showrooms
and to fund capital requirements of the ongoing upgrade of the 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 borrowings of $346,000 on
the Company's Revolving Credit Facility and $188,000 of principal payments on
other indebtedness. Non-cash financing activities included the issuance of
24,702 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock valued at $2,175,000 in
payment of interest on subordinated notes for the period from March 1, 2000
through March 31, 2001.
Cash Flow - Twenty-Six weeks ended June 27, 1999
Cash and cash equivalents at June 27, 1999 did not change. During the
twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 1999, operating activities used in net cash of
$447,000, principally from a cash loss from operations of $1,258,000 and
increases inventories, prepaid expenses and accounts receivable of $2,278,000,
$263,000 and $293,000, respectively, all of which were partially offset by
increases in customer deposits, and accounts payable and other liabilities of
$2,371,000 and $1,274,000, respectively. Investing and financing activities
during the period included capital expenditures of $1,606,000 and net borrowings
of $2,053,000 primarily from the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.

Thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2000 compared to thirteen weeks ended June 27,
1999
Net Sales. Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2000 were
$35,299,000 compared to $34,830,000 for the comparable period of fiscal 1999.
The overall $469,000 increase in net sales was composed of a $4,677,000 increase
from new stores and $448,000 of sales from the e-Commerce division offset in
part by a $2,622,000 or 8.0% decrease in same store sales and a $2,034,000
decrease from closed stores. The decrease in comparable store sales occurred
during May and June and is believed to be the result of an economic downturn
that was experienced throughout the home furnishings industry.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was 54.4% of net sales in the thirteen weeks
ended June 25, 2000, as compared to 55.2% of net sales for the comparable period
of fiscal 1999. The decrease in gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was due
largely to a 0.3% dilution from sales of the e-Commerce division and
manufacturing inefficiencies.
Selling Expenses. Selling expenses were $18,663,000 or 52.9% of sales in
the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2000 compared to $17,088,000 or 49.1% of sales
in the same period last year. The increase of $1,575,000 in selling expenses was
primarily due to higher occupancy costs related to new store openings, higher
advertising costs as a result of increased use of color circulars, and higher
delivery expenses that are transitional in nature and related to the Company's
strategic decision to increase its use of outsourcing. $34,000 of the total
increase is related to expenses of the e-Commerce division.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by $598,000 and as a percentage of sales rose from 7.9% for the
quarter ended June 27, 1999 to 9.5% for the quarter ended June 25, 2000.
Approximately $359,000 of the total increase is related to expenses of the
e-Commerce initiative, consisting primarily of strategy consulting costs and
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 June 25, 2000 increased by $104,000 over the same period in the prior
fiscal year. Interest expense increased due to higher average outstanding
revolving debt, higher interest rates as well as higher interest expense on the
subordinated notes as more fully described in Note 5 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. Partially offsetting these increases was interest earned
on invested funds. Interest expense consists of the following:

Income Taxes. The Company paid no income taxes and no income tax benefit
was recorded for either the second quarter of fiscal 2000 or fiscal 1999 due to
uncertainties regarding the realization of deferred tax assets available.
Net Loss. As a result of the above factors, the net loss was $3,870,000 for
the quarter ended June 25, 2000 as compared to a loss of $1,568,000 in the same
period of the prior fiscal year. Net loss per share in the 2000 quarter was
$0.18 versus a loss of $0.07 in the same period of fiscal 1999.
Twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2000 compared to twenty-six weeks ended June 27,
1999
Net Sales. Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2000 were
$74,316,000 compared to $69,764,000 for the comparable period of fiscal 1999,
representing an increase of $4,552,000 or 6.5%. The overall $4,552,000 increase
in net sales is attributable to a $9,599,000 increase from new stores, and
$459,000 of sales of the e-Commerce division offset in part by a decrease of
$4,831,000 from closed stores and a $764,000 or 1.2% decrease in same-store
sales.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was 54.7% of net sales in the twenty-six weeks
ended June 25, 2000, as compared to 54.5% of net sales for the comparable period
of fiscal 1999. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of higher
retail prices partially offset by a 0.2% dilution from a lower gross margin on
the $459,000 of sales of the e-Commerce division.
Selling Expenses. Selling expenses were $38,301,000 or 51.5% of sales in
the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2000 compared to $34,367,000 or 49.3% of
sales in the same period last year. The increase of $3,934,000 in selling
expenses was primarily due to higher variable expenses related to increased
sales volume, higher occupancy costs related to new store openings, higher
advertising costs as a result of increased use of color circulars, and higher
delivery expenses that are transitional in nature and related to the Company's
strategic decision to increase its use of outsourcing. $77,000 of the total
increase is related to expenses from the e-Commerce division.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by $1,169,000 and as a percentage of sales rose from 7.5% for the
twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 1999 to 8.6% for the twenty-six weeks ended June
25, 2000. Approximately $524,000 of the total increase is related to expenses of
the e-Commerce initiative, consisting primarily of strategy consulting costs and
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
twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2000 increased by $27,000 over the same period
in the prior fiscal year. Interest expense increased due to higher average
outstanding revolving debt and related increases in interest rates as well as
higher interest expense on the subordinated notes as more fully described in
Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Partially offsetting these
increases was interest earned on invested funds. Interest expense consists of
the following:
