NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited except for the January 30, 2000 balance sheet. These 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 Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period which ends on the Sunday closest to the end of January. "Fiscal 2000" is a 53-week period which ends February 4, 2001. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring entries necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles necessarily 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 consolidated financial statements and reported expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended October 29, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 4, 2001. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the years ended January 30, 2000, January 31, 1999 and February 1, 1998.

Of this $39.7 million increase, $25.4 million was attributable to net sales generated by 120 new stores opened in fiscal 2000 and not yet included in the comparable store base, $7.7 million was attributable to net sales generated by stores opened in fiscal 1999 and not yet included in the comparable store base, $3.4 million was attributable to other non-comparable store sales and $3.7 million was attributable to a 3.3% increase in comparable store net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2000. Offsetting these increases was a $.5 million decrease in net sales attributable to the closing of four stores during fiscal 1999 and two stores in fiscal 2000. Other non-comparable store sales consist of sales from stores that have been expanded or relocated and not yet included in the comparable store base as well as merchandise sold over the internet. Stores are deemed comparable stores on the first day of the first month following the one year anniversary of their opening or expansion/relocation. Average retail prices of merchandise sold decreased approximately 6.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1999 primarily related to a higher markdown rate. Gross Margin Gross margin, after buying, distribution and occupancy costs, increased to $55.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 from $45.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999, an increase of $9.5 million, or 20.9%. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin was 33.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to 36.7% for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Of this 3.1% decrease, net merchandise margins decreased 2.3% as a percentage of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1999 primarily due to a higher markdown rate. In addition, occupancy costs for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 increased .8% as a percentage of net sales compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1999, which was primarily related to opening 120 new stores in the first nine months of fiscal 2000. Occupancy costs as a percentage of net sales for new stores are generally higher than for mature stores. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $34.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 from $25.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999, an increase of $8.9 million, or 34.4%. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses increased to 21.2% from 20.9%. Of this .3% increase, advertising as a percentage of net sales increased by 1.2% which was related to the Company's increased marketing efforts, including its first national television advertising campaign which commenced in February 2000. In addition, store selling expenses increased .7% as a percentage of net sales, primarily due to opening 120 new stores in the first nine months of fiscal 2000. Store payroll and selling expenses as a percentage of net sales for new stores are generally higher than for mature stores. Offsetting these increases, was a decrease of 1.6% in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales, of which 1.2% represents a decline in bonus expense and the remaining .4% was a result of leveraging other general and administrative expenses over higher total net sales. Income Tax Expense Income tax expense was $8.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $7.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The effective income tax rate was 38.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to 38.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. 8 9 The thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2000 (nine months) as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 1999 (nine months) Net Sales Net sales increased to $408.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 from $306.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999, an increase of $102.3 million, or 33.4%. Of this $102.3 million increase, $47.0 million was attributable to net sales generated by 120 new stores opened in fiscal 2000 and not yet included in the comparable store base, $41.0 million was attributable to net sales generated by stores opened in fiscal 1999 and not yet included in the comparable store base, $7.9 million was attributable to other non-comparable store sales and $7.6 million was attributable to a 2.7% increase in comparable store net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2000. Offsetting these increases was a $1.2 million decrease in net sales attributable to the closing of three stores during fiscal 1999 and two stores during fiscal 2000. Other non-comparable store sales consist of sales from stores that have been expanded or relocated and not yet included in the comparable store base as well as merchandise sold over the internet. Stores are deemed comparable stores on the first day of the first month following the one year anniversary of their opening or expansion/relocation. Average retail prices of merchandise sold decreased approximately 7.8% in the nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1999 primarily related to a higher markdown rate in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2000. Gross Margin Gross margin, after buying, distribution and occupancy costs, increased to $136.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 from $106.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999, an increase of $30.2 million, or 28.4%. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin was 33.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to 34.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. Of this 1.3% decrease, occupancy costs for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 increased .7% as a percentage of net sales compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1999, which was primarily related to opening 120 new stores in the first nine months of fiscal 2000. Occupancy costs as a percentage of net sales for new stores are generally higher than for mature stores. In addition, merchandise margins decreased .6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1999 due to a higher markdown rate offset by a higher initial markup rate. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $95.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 from $68.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999, an increase of $26.8 million, or 39.1%. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses increased to 23.4% from 22.4%. Of this 1.0% net increase, 1.1% was due to an increase in advertising as a percentage of net sales which was related to the Company's increased marketing efforts including its first national television advertising campaign which commenced in February 2000. In addition, store selling expenses increased .9% as a percentage of net sales, primarily related to opening 120 new stores in the first nine months of fiscal 2000. Store payroll and selling expenses as a percentage of net sales for new stores are generally higher than for mature stores. Offsetting these increases was a decrease of 1.0% in general and administrative expenses, as a result of leveraging these expenses over higher total net sales which includes a decline in bonus expense. Income Tax Expense Income tax expense was $16.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to $14.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. The effective income tax rate was 38.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 as compared to 38.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. 9 10 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has financed its operations from internally generated cash flow, short-term borrowings and equity financing. The Company's primary capital requirements have been for the construction of new stores, remodeling, expansion, or relocation of selected stores and financing of inventories. In December 2000, the Company expects to close escrow on a $12.1 million purchase of an undeveloped 19 acre parcel of land in close proximity to its current corporate office and distribution center. The Company intends to build a new office and distribution center on this property to be ready for occupancy in December 2001. The Company believes the new facilities are necessary to support the Company's current growth plans. Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine-months of fiscal 2000 was $18.1 million compared to $20.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. This $1.9 million decrease was attributable to a decrease in accrued liabilities of $4.4 million, a decrease in accrued income taxes and deferred income taxes of $2.7 million and an increase in inventories net of accounts payable of $2.5 million. These were offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization of $3.9 million, an increase in net income of $2.1 million and a net increase in other items of $1.7 million. Working capital at October 29, 2000 was $79.6 million compared to $67.4 million at January 30, 2000, an increase of $12.2 million. Inventories at October 29, 2000 were $91.7 million compared to $60.0 million at January 30, 2000, an increase of $31.7 million. This increase was primarily related to opening 120 new stores and expanding/relocating 32 stores which have in excess of 50% larger average square footage than their previous locations. The Company's average store inventories vary throughout the year and increase in advance of the peak selling periods of spring break, back-to-school and Christmas. Net cash used in investing activities was $36.0 million for property and equipment for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to $29.7 million for property and equipment for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. The increase in property and equipment was primarily due to opening 120 new stores in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to opening 101 new stores in the first nine months of fiscal 1999. Net cash provided by financing activities, primarily proceeds received from the exercise of stock options, for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was $3.9 million compared to $2.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. The Company has a credit facility with a bank, which expires in August 2001. The credit facility provides for a $35.0 million line of credit, which can be used for cash advances, commercial letters of credit and shipside bonds. Interest on cash advances under the line of credit facility is payable monthly at the bank's prime rate (9.5% at October 29, 2000). At October 29, 2000, the Company had $9.0 million in letters of credit outstanding. The loan agreement subjects the Company to various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certain financial ratios and prohibits payment of cash dividends on common stock. At October 29, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants. During the remainder of fiscal 2000, the Company plans to open approximately 22 new stores, of which 9 will be PacSun stores, 3 will be PacSun Outlet stores and 10 will be d.e.m.o. stores. The Company also plans to expand or relocate 6 existing smaller stores during the remainder of fiscal 2000. The Company estimates that capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2000, including the $12.1 million purchase of land, will be approximately $25 million. In fiscal 2001, capital expenditures are expected to be $85-$90 million, of which $49-$54 million will be for opening approximately 125 new stores and for approximately 40 expansions/relocatons, and approximately $36 million to construct a new corporate office and distribution center and install a materials handling system. The Company reviews the operating performance of its stores on an ongoing basis to determine which stores, if any, to close and records closing costs as stores are closed or identified to be closed. The Company closed two stores during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and expects to close one additional store in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. Management believes that the Company's working capital, bank line of credit and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating and capital expenditure requirements through the end of fiscal 2001. 10 11 INFLATION The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on the results of operations during the past three years. There can be no assurance that the Company's business will not be affected by inflation in the future. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities -- In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities." The provisions of SFAS No. 133 are effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS. No. 133 will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements -- In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" "SAB No. 101." Management of the Company has determined that the application of SAB No. 101 will not have any material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS The Company's business is seasonal by nature, with the Christmas and back-to-school periods historically accounting for the largest percentage of annual net sales. The Company's first quarter historically accounts for the smallest percentage of annual net sales. In fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998, excluding sales generated by new and relocated/expanded stores, the Christmas and back-to-school periods together accounted for approximately 33% and 34%, respectively, of the Company's annual net sales and a higher percentage of the Company's operating income. In fiscal 1999, excluding net sales generated by new and relocated/expanded stores, approximately 45% of the Company's annual net sales occurred in the first half of the fiscal year and 55% in the second half. The Company's quarterly results of operations may also fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including the timing of store openings; the amount of revenue contributed by new stores; the timing and level of markdowns; the timing of store closings, expansions and relocations; competitive factors; and general economic conditions. CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS This report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. The Company is hereby providing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could affect the Company's business and results of operations and/or cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements of the Company herein. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, future events or performance (often, but not always through the use of words or phrases such as "will result," "expects to," "will continue," "anticipates," "plans," "intends," "estimated," "projects" and "outlook") are not historical facts and may be forward-looking and, accordingly, such statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Such uncertainties include, among others, the following factors: FLUCTUATIONS IN COMPARABLE STORE NET SALES RESULTS. The Company's comparable store net sales results have fluctuated significantly in the past, on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis, and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future. A variety of factors affect the Company's comparable store net sales results, including changes in fashion trends, changes in the Company's merchandise mix, calendar shifts of holiday periods, actions by competitors, weather conditions and general economic conditions. The Company's comparable store net sales results for any particular fiscal month, fiscal quarter or fiscal year in the future may decrease. As a result of these or other factors the Company's future comparable store net sales results are likely to have a significant effect on the market price of the Company's common stock. MERCHANDISING/FASHION SENSITIVITY. The Company's success is largely dependent upon its ability to gauge the fashion tastes of its customers and to provide merchandise that satisfies customer demand in a timely manner. The Company's failure to anticipate, identify or react appropriately in a timely manner to changes in fashion trends could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Misjudgements or unanticipated fashion misjudgements could have a material adverse effect on the Company's image with its customers. 11 12 PRIVATE LABEL MERCHANDISE. Sales from private label merchandise accounted for approximately 36% of net sales in fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998. The Company may increase the percentage of net sales in private label merchandise in the future, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve increases in private label merchandise sales as a percentage of net sales. Because the Company's private label merchandise generally carries higher merchandise margins than its other merchandise, the Company's failure to anticipate, identify and react in a timely manner to fashion trends with its private label merchandise, particularly if the percentage of net sales derived from private label merchandise increases, may have a material adverse affect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. RISKS OF NEW SPECIALTY STORE CONCEPT NAMED "D.E.M.O.". The Company opened the first d.e.m.o. store in April 1998, and on October 29, 2000 operated 70 d.e.m.o. stores. The operation of its d.e.m.o. stores is subject to numerous risks, including unanticipated operating problems, lack of experience, lack of customer acceptance, new vendor relationships and competition from existing and new retailers. There can be no assurance that the Company's d.e.m.o. stores will achieve sales and profitability levels that justify the Company's investment in this new retail format. Expansion of the d.e.m.o. format also involves other risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company, including (i) the diversion of management's attention from the Company's core business, (ii) difficulties with the hiring, retention and training of key personnel for the d.e.m.o. stores, (iii) risks associated with new vendors and (iv) difficulties with locating and obtaining favorable store sites and negotiating acceptable lease terms. INTERNET SALES. The Company began selling merchandise over the internet in June 1999. The internet operations involve, among other things, internet web site design activities, investment in new systems, distribution center enhancements, training of personnel and hiring of additional personnel to handle new functions. The Company's internet operations are subject to numerous risks, including unanticipated operating problems, reliance on third party computer hardware and software providers, system failures and the need to invest in additional computer systems, lack of experience in managing the new internet business, lack of customer acceptance and lack of experience in the fulfillment and shipping of individual orders to customers. There can be no assurance that the internet operations will achieve sales and profitability levels that justify the Company's investment therein. The internet operations also involve other risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company, including (i) the diversion of management's attention from the Company's core business, (ii) the failure to reach profitability within the foreseeable future, (iii) difficulties with hiring, retention and training of key personnel to conduct the Company's internet operations, (iv) diversion of sales from PacSun stores, (v) rapid technological change, (vi) liability for online content and (vii) risks related to the failure of the computer systems that operate the web site and its related support systems, including computer viruses, telecommunication failures and electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. In addition, the internet operations involve risks which are beyond the Company's control that could have a material adverse effect on the Company, including (i) price competition involving the items the Company intends to sell, (ii) the entry of the Company's vendors into the internet business, in direct competition with the Company, (iii) the level of merchandise returns experienced by the Company, (iv) governmental regulation, (v) online security breaches, (vi) credit card fraud, (vii) general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the internet, online commerce and the apparel industry and (viii) competition from other internet web sites that may have significantly more capital resources and experience in internet sales than the Company. EXPANSION AND MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH. The Company's continued growth depends to a significant degree on its ability to open and operate stores on a profitable basis and on management's ability to manage the Company's planned expansion. During the remainder of fiscal 2000, the Company plans to open approximately 22 new stores, of which 9 will be PacSun stores, 3 will be PacSun Outlet stores and 10 will be d.e.m.o. stores. The Company also plans to expand or relocate an additional 6 existing smaller stores in the remainder of fiscal 2000. The Company plans to open approximately 125 new stores in fiscal 2001 and intends to construct a new corporate office and distribution center and install a materials handling system. The Company's planned expansion is dependant upon a number of factors, including the ability of the Company to locate and obtain favorable store sites, negotiate acceptable lease terms, obtain adequate merchandise supply and hire and train qualified management level and other employees. Factors beyond the Company's control may also affect the Company's ability to expand, including general economic and business conditions affecting consumer spending. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its planned expansion or that such expansion will be profitable. As the Company's operations grow, there could be increasing strain on the Company's resources and distribution facility, and the Company could experience difficulties relating to a variety of operational matters, including hiring, training and managing an increasing number of employees, having sufficient working capital, bank line of credit and cash flow from operating activities for the Company's future operating and capital requirements, obtaining sufficient quantities of merchandise 12 13 from its preferred vendors, obtaining sufficient materials and contract manufacturers to produce its private brand products and enhancing its distribution, financial and operating systems. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage its growth effectively. Any failure to manage growth could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. The continued success of the Company is dependant to a significant degree upon the services of its key personnel, particularly its executive officers. The loss of the services of any member of senior management could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company's success in the future will also be dependent upon the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. The Company's inability to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. DEPENDENCE ON SINGLE DISTRIBUTION FACILITY. The Company's distribution functions for all of its stores and for internet sales are handled from a single, leased facility in Anaheim, California. The Company intends to construct a new office and distribution center in Anaheim, California to be ready for occupancy in December 2001 which will handle distribution functions for all of its stores as well as shipments related to sales of merchandise over the internet. Any significant interruption in the operation of the distribution facility due to natural disasters, accidents or system failures, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company's new office and distribution center will be completed by December 2001, or that it will be adequate to support the Company's future growth. The Company will incur significant costs and expenditures to build its new facility, which could have an impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The actual cost of completing this facility may be greater than the Company's current estimates. VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE. The market price of the Company's common stock has fluctuated substantially in the past and there can be no assurance that the market price of the common stock will not continue to fluctuate significantly. Future announcements or management discussions concerning the Company or its competitors, internet sales results, d.e.m.o. sales and profitability results, quarterly variations in operating results or comparable store net sales, changes in earnings estimates by analysts or changes in accounting policies, among other factors, could cause the market price of the common stock to fluctuate substantially. For example, in May 2000 the Company's stock price decreased dramatically after it was reported that the Company's comparable store net sales for the month of April 2000 increased only 1.6%. In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume volatility in recent years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many small public companies for reason frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. The Company cautions that the risk factors described above could affect the Company's business and results of operations and/or cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements of the Company made by or on behalf of the Company. Further, management cannot assess the impact of each such factor on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
