GOLFSMITH HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.              Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

Golfsmith International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a multi-channel, specialty retailer of golf and tennis equipment and related apparel and accessories. The Company offers golf and tennis equipment from top national brands as well as its own proprietary brands. In addition, the Company provides clubmaking services, including the sale of individual club components for customers to build clubs, custom fitting and repair services. The Company markets its products through retail stores and through its direct-to-consumer channels, which include its Internet site and catalogs.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary Golfsmith International, Inc. (“Golfsmith”) and Golfsmith’s subsidiaries. The Company has no operations nor does it have any assets or liabilities other than its investment in Golfsmith. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the operations of Golfsmith and its subsidiaries. All inter-company account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As information in this report relates to interim financial information, certain footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three-month period ended April 3, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending  January 1, 2011.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 2, 2010, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2010.

 

Revenue Subject to Seasonal Variations

 

The Company’s business is seasonal and its sales leading up to and during the warm weather golf season and the December holiday gift-giving season have historically contributed a significantly higher percentage of the Company’s annual net revenues and annual net operating income than in other periods in its fiscal year.

 

Fiscal Year

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. The three-month periods ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009 both consisted of 13 weeks.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The financial statements of the Company’s international operations are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, historical exchange rates for stockholders’ equity, and average exchange rates during the period for revenues and expenses. Cumulative translation gains and losses are excluded from results of operations and recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses resulting from the revaluation of long-term intercompany receivable and payable balances are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.  Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income (expense) in the audited consolidated statements of operations and were not material for the periods presented.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is computed as net income (loss) plus certain other items that are recorded directly to stockholders’ equity. In addition to net income (loss), the components of comprehensive income (loss) also include foreign currency translation adjustments. The difference between net loss and comprehensive loss during the three-month periods ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009 consisted of foreign currency translation and revaluation gains (losses) of ($0.2) million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair values due to their short-term nature.  The carrying value of the Company’s credit facility at April 3, 2010 approximates fair value based on rates available for similar debt available to comparable companies in the marketplace.

 

Reclassifications

 

Included in the three months ended April 4, 2009 is a reclassification of $0.2 million from pre-opening expenses to selling, general and administrative expense related to relocation expenses incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 for two stores that were relocated and continued to meet the criteria of a comparable store after their relocation.  The effect of this reclassification is not material and this reclassification did not affect the Company’s reported net loss or cash flows.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2009, the FASB issued additional authoritative guidance requiring new disclosures related to fair value measurements.  The new guidance requires entities to separately disclose the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers.  The guidance also requires entities to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within Level 3 fair value measurements.  The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosures will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

 

In February 2010, the FASB amended the authoritative guidance it issued in May 2009 on subsequent events. The original guidance required SEC filers to evaluate subsequent events through the date of financial statement issuance and to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  The guidance was amended so that SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  The new guidance was effective immediately upon issuance of the amendment which was in February 2010.  The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance which amends previously issued guidance on variable interest entities.  This new guidance prescribes a qualitative model for identifying whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, or VIE, and eliminates the quantitative model previously prescribed.  The new model identifies two primary characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) provides a company with the power to direct significant activities of the VIE; and (2) obligates a company to absorb losses of and/or provides rights to receive benefits from the VIE. The new guidance requires a company to reassess on an ongoing basis whether it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE. A company that holds a controlling financial interest is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company believes the adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition that provides clarification on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated.  An entity is required to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price. These amendments also eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method.  These amendments significantly expand the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.  These provisions are to be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

 

2.              Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including outstanding deferred stock units (“DSUs”). Diluted net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the periods indicated:

On May 4, 2010, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100 million to 25 million. This change will result in total authorized shares of capital stock of 35 million (25 million shares of common stock and 10 million shares of preferred stock) as set forth in Article IV of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. The change in authorized shares will become effective when the amendment is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State in May 2010.

 

3.              Income Taxes

 

For each of the three-month periods ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, the Company’s provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of approximately 11.9%.  For each of the three-month periods ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, the Company’s effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to changes to its valuation allowances.  Due to the utilization of deferred tax assets relating to net operating losses, the Company does not anticipate paying any U.S. federal income taxes in fiscal 2010, however, actual results could accelerate or defer the utilization of its deferred tax assets.

 

In each of the three-month periods ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, the Company recorded approximately $0.7 million of income tax benefit, on pre-tax losses of approximately $5.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively.

 

The Company had $0.09 million in unrecognized tax benefits as of April 3, 2010 and expects to recognize the entire amount in the next twelve months due to closing of open tax years. Unrecognized income tax benefits relate to the uncertainty regarding deductions taken on returns that have not been examined by the applicable tax authority.  The tax years 2006 through 2009 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

The Company’s has a credit facility by and among Golfsmith International, L.P., Golfsmith NU, L.L.C., and Golfsmith USA, L.L.C., as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), the Company and the other subsidiaries of the Company identified therein as credit parties (the “Credit Parties”), General Electric Capital Corporation, as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (the “Administrative Agent”), GE Capital Markets, Inc., as Sole Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, and the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto (the “Credit Facility”).  The Credit Facility consists of a $90.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), including a $5.0 million letter of credit sub facility, and a $10.0 million swing line sub facility.  On an ongoing basis, loans incurred under the Credit Facility will be used for working capital and capital expenditures of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries (the “Loans”).  The Credit Facility has a term of five years and expires in June 2011.

Interest Rate and Fees.  Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest per annum, at the Company’s election, at a rate equal to either (1) LIBOR plus two percent (2.0%), or (2) the “Base Rate,” which is equal to the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points and (ii) the publicly quoted rate as published by The Wall Street Journal on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation’s largest 30 banks. The Company pays annual fees ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% of the unused portion of its Credit Facility, depending on the balance of its outstanding borrowings.

 

Covenants and Events of Default.  The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative covenants regarding, among other things, the delivery of financial and other information to the lenders, maintenance of records, compliance with law, maintenance of property and insurance and conduct of the Company’s existing business. The Credit Facility also contains certain customary negative covenants that limit the ability of the Credit Parties to, among other things, create liens, make investments, enter into transactions with affiliates, incur debt, acquire or dispose of assets, including merging with another entity, enter into sale-leaseback transactions and make certain restricted payments. The foregoing restrictions are subject to certain customary exceptions for facilities of this type. The Credit Facility includes events of default (and related remedies, including acceleration of the Loans made thereunder) usual for a facility of this type, including payment default, covenant default (including breaches of the covenants described above), cross-default to other indebtedness, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and involuntary proceedings, change of control and judgment default. Many of the defaults are subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods usual for a facility of this type.  As of April 3, 2010, April 4, 2009 and December 31, 2009 the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.

 

Borrowing Capacity.  Available amounts under the Credit Facility are calculated against a borrowing base. The borrowing base is limited to (i) 85% of the net amount of eligible receivables, as defined in the Credit Facility, plus (ii) the lesser of (x) 70% of the value of eligible inventory or (y) up to 90% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, plus (iii) the lesser of (x) $17,500,000 or (y) 70% of the fair market value of eligible real estate, and minus (iv) any reserves except to the extent already deducted there from.   The Administrative Agent has the right to establish, modify or eliminate reserves against eligible inventory and receivables from time to time in its reasonable credit judgment.  At April 3, 2010, the Company had $42.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and $24.5 million of borrowing availability after giving effect to all reserves. At April 4, 2009, the Company had $45.2 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and $16.4 million of borrowing availability after giving effect to all reserves. At January 2, 2010, the Company had $36.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and $17.8 million of borrowing availability after giving effect to all reserves.  During the three months ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s outstanding borrowings was 2.33% and 3.14%, respectively.

 

Guarantees and Collateral.  Borrowings under the Credit Facility are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Credit Parties, and are secured by a security interest granted in favor of the Administrative Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the lenders, in all of the personal and owned real property of the Credit Parties, including a lien on all of the equity securities of the Borrowers and each of the Borrower’s current and future domestic subsidiaries.

 

The Company has no operations, assets or liabilities other than its investment in its wholly-owned subsidiary Golfsmith, and its liability under the Credit Facility. Golfsmith and its domestic subsidiaries comprise all of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations, including its liabilities under the Credit Facility. There are no restrictions in the Credit Facility on the transfer of funds between the Company, Golfsmith and any of Golfsmith’s domestic subsidiaries.

6.     Commitments and Contingencies

 

Lease Commitments

 

The Company leases all but one of its store locations under operating leases that provide for annual payments that, in some cases, increase over the life of the lease. The operating leases expire at various times through June 2022.  The aggregate of the minimum annual payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease without consideration of renewal option periods, rent holidays and escalating rents. In addition, the Company has entered into certain sublease agreements with third parties to sublease retail space previously occupied by the Company. The sublease terms end at various times through June 2019.  Rent expense, net of sublease rental income, was $5.7 million and $5.6 million for the three-month periods ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, respectively.  Sublease rental income was $0.3 million for each of the three-month periods ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009.

 

The Company previously entered into a guarantee agreement in conjunction with assigning one of its leases to a subtenant.  The guarantee provides that the Company will assume responsibility for rental payments in the event the subtenant defaults.  The amount of future rental payments as of April 3, 2010 are $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million for 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.  The Company believes the probability of loss on this guarantee is remote, and therefore it has not recorded an accrual related to these payments.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

On October 23, 2009, David O’Flynn, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action lawsuit in the California Superior Court in Orange County against the Company asserting denial of meal and rest breaks, failure to timely pay final wages or commissions and failure to provide itemized employee wage statements in violation of the California Labor Code.  The relief sought includes an award of monetary damages and injunctive relief.  The Company plans to vigorously defend all allegations.  It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of this matter.

 

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of conducting business.  The Company believes that the ultimate outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its

financial position, liquidity or results of operations.  The Company believes the amounts reserved in its consolidated financial statements are adequate in consideration of the probable and estimable liabilities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “project,” “intend” and similar expressions. These statements include, among others, statements regarding our expected business outlook, anticipated financial and operating results, our business strategy and means to implement the strategy, our objectives, the amount and timing of future store openings, store retrofits and capital expenditures, the likelihood of our success in expanding our business, financing plans, working capital needs and sources of liquidity.

 

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based in part on currently available information and in part on management’s estimates and projections of future events and conditions. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the introduction of new product offerings, store opening costs, our ability to lease new sites on a timely basis, expected pricing levels, the timing and cost of planned capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results that differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict.

 

We believe our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.

 

Overview

 

We are one of the nation’s largest specialty retailers of golf and tennis equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories. We operate as an integrated multi-channel retailer, offering our customers the convenience of shopping in our retail locations across the nation and through our direct-to-consumer channels, which include both our website, www.golfsmith.com, and our direct mail catalogs. As of April 3, 2010, we operated 74 retail stores in 19 states and 29 markets. We were founded in 1967 as a golf clubmaking company offering custom-made clubs, clubmaking components and club repair services. In 1972 we opened our first retail store, in 1975 we mailed our first general golf products catalog, and in 1997 we launched our Internet site designed to expand our direct-to-consumer business.  Since April 3, 2010, we have opened new stores in Overland Park, Kansas and Brea, California.

 

As a specialty retailer, we are subject to changes in consumer confidence and economic conditions that impact our customers. The demand for our products is affected by the financial health of our customers, which may be adversely influenced by macroeconomic issues such as unemployment, fuel and energy costs, weakness in the housing market and unavailability of consumer credit. During the current economic downturn, the demand for our products has been adversely impacted, as reflected in our results of operations for the last two years. In response to the lower demand, beginning in fiscal 2008 and continuing into fiscal 2010, we have taken significant steps to reduce our cost structure and introduce increased operational efficiencies. We expect to leverage this reduced cost structure to drive improved operating performance in future periods.

 

In addition to future new store openings, a major part of our strategy continues to be enhancing the non-clubmaking and Internet portions of our direct-to-consumer channel. We anticipate continuing to develop a number of our existing proprietary brands in the future, as we continue our efforts to grow our proprietary brand revenue.

 

Fiscal Year

 

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31 and consists of either 52 weeks or 53 weeks. Each quarter of each fiscal year generally consists of 13 weeks. The three-month periods ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009 each consisted of 13 weeks.

(1)        We consider sales by a new store to be comparable commencing in the fourteenth month after the store was opened or acquired. We consider sales by a relocated store to be comparable if the relocated store is expected to serve a comparable customer base and there is not more than a 30-day period during which neither the original store nor the relocated store is closed for business. We consider sales by retail stores with modified layouts to be comparable. We consider sales by stores that are closed to be

(2)        Included in total stores’ net revenues is $3.9 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, respectively, related to sales transacted online and either picked up by the customer at our stores or shipped to the customer from one of our retail stores.

Three Months ended April 3, 2010 compared to Three Months ended April 4, 2009

 

Net Revenues.  Net revenues decreased 1.7% to $67.6 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010 from $68.8 million for the three months ended April 4, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease in our direct-to-consumer channel which was partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in our store revenues. Comparable store revenues decreased $0.5 million, or 1.0%, during the three months ended April 3, 2010 as compared to the three months ended April 4, 2009.  The decrease in sales in our direct-to-consumer channel year-over-year is primarily attributable to sales decreases in clubmaking components and clubs.

 

We believe our sales were impacted by colder and wetter weather conditions in the continental United States in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009.  Additionally, we believe that golf rounds played in the United States, a leading indicator of golf participation tracked by Golf Datatech L.L.C., affects potential sales of our products. For the three months ended April 3, 2010, golf rounds played decreased 12.4% compared to the same period in fiscal 2009.

 

Gross Profit.  Consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of net revenues, increased to 33.7% for the three months ended April 3, 2010 from 33.1% for the three months ended April 4, 2009.  The increase in gross profit, as a percentage of net revenues, of 0.6%, was due to (1) an increase of 0.4%, as a percentage of net revenues, due to lower excess and obsolete inventory reserves in the current year quarter resulting from price repositioning of used clubs that occurred in the prior year quarter, (2) an increase of 0.3%, as a percentage of net revenues, due to a decrease in shrink expense resulting from improvements in the current year quarter physical inventory results, and (3) an increase of 0.3%, as a percentage of net revenues, due to price reductions taken in the prior year quarter designed to drive sales on certain items.  The increases were partially offset by a decrease of 0.4%, as a percentage of net revenues, in vendor allowances allocated as a reduction to cost of sales.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $27.9 million, or 0.6%, for the three months ended April 3, 2010 from $28.0 million for the three months ended April 4, 2009.  Although we experienced a $0.4 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three-month period ended April 3, 2010 related primarily to our new stores, total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.1 million due to a non-recurring charge of $0.5 million for severance to our former Chief Financial Officer recorded in the prior year quarter.

 

Store pre-opening / closing expenses.  Store pre-opening / closing expenses were $0.2 million in each of the three-month periods ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009.  Store pre-opening / closing expenses for the three months ended April 3, 2010 consists primarily of occupancy charges related to anticipated store openings in fiscal 2010.  Store pre-opening / closing expenses in the three months ended April 4, 2009 consists of charges related to our retail store in Palm Desert, California, which opened in January 2009.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense incurred on borrowings under our Credit Facility.  For the three months ended April 3, 2010, interest expense decreased by 64.6%, as a percentage of net revenues, to $0.2 million from $0.5 million for the three months ended April 4, 2009.  The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to a decrease in interest rates and lower borrowings year-over-year as well as an adjustment in the current year quarter to account for bank overcharges in previous periods.

 

Other income (expense), netThere were minimal changes in other income (expense), net during the three months ended April 3, 2010 as compared to the three months ended April 4, 2009.  Included in other income (expense), net are realized foreign currency exchange rate gains/losses, gains from the sale of assets and other miscellaneous income.

 

Income tax benefit. During each of the three-month periods ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, we recorded approximately $0.7 million of income tax benefit on pre-tax loss of approximately $5.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The income tax expense for the periods differed from the amount which would have been recorded using the U.S. statutory tax rate of 34% due to a change in our valuation allowances.  See Note 3 of the notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of April 3, 2010, our primary sources of liquidity consisted of cash totaling $0.8 million and $24.5 million of available borrowings under our Credit Facility which is more fully described in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Form 10-Q. As of April 3, 2010, we had outstanding debt obligations under our Credit Facility of $42.8 million.

 

Historically, cash flows generated from operations and our borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility have allowed us to meet our cash requirements, including capital expenditures and working capital needs. In addition, future cash outflows related to new store openings, advertising, store retrofits, and other expenditures have been adjusted and may need to be further adjusted accordingly from time to time in the future. For the remainder of fiscal 2010, we anticipate incurring approximately $6.8 million in capital expenditures, excluding tenant improvement allowances, related primarily to our new store openings, various store remodels and investments in our information technology infrastructure. However, our capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations as well as available borrowings under our credit facility.

 

If cash generated from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Facility are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or arrange additional debt financing. If cash from operations and cash available under our Credit Facility are not sufficient to meet our needs, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain additional financing in sufficient amounts and/or on acceptable terms in the near future or when our Credit Facility expires in June 2011.

Operating Activities

 

Our cash flows from operations are seasonal.  Operating activities used $2.9 million of cash for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and provided $9.7 million of cash for the three months ended April 4, 2009. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended April 3, 2010, as compared to the three months ended April 4, 2009 is due to increased inventory stock purchases in the current year quarter as a result of two new store openings as well as the timing of other working capital activities.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities primarily relates to building out new stores, remodeling or relocating existing stores, purchasing information technology as well as capital expenditures for our distribution facilities and corporate headquarters. Investing activities used $3.8 million of cash for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and $2.2 million of cash for the three months ended April 4, 2009. Cash was used during the current year quarter to build out our new stores, two of which opened in April 2010, and to remodel several of our existing stores.  Cash was used during the prior year quarter to build out one new store and relocate two of our existing stores.

 

Financing Activities

 

Financing activities provided $6.8 million of cash for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and used $6.5 million of cash for the three months ended April 4, 2009.  Cash used in financing activities primarily relates to net principal payments and borrowings under our Credit Facility.

 

Indebtedness

 

As of April 3, 2010, we had approximately $42.8 million in aggregate indebtedness outstanding and $24.5 million in available borrowings under our Credit Facility, after giving effect to all reserves. At April 4, 2009, the Company had $45.2 million of

borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and $16.4 million of borrowing availability after giving effect to all reserves. As of January 2, 2010, we had $36.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility and $17.8 million of borrowing availability after giving effect to all reserves.

 

Our Credit Facility contains customary affirmative covenants regarding, among other things, the delivery of financial and other information to the lenders, maintenance of records, compliance with law, maintenance of property and insurance and conduct of our existing business. The Credit Facility also contains certain customary negative covenants that limit the ability of the Credit Parties (as defined in Note 4 of the notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) to, among other things, create liens, make investments, enter into transactions with affiliates, incur debt, acquire or dispose of assets, including merging with another entity, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, and make certain restricted payments. As of April 3, 2010, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants. See Note 4 of the notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the terms of our Credit Facility.

 

Borrowings under our Credit Facility typically increase as working capital requirements increase in anticipation of peak selling periods in late spring and in advance of the December holiday gift-giving season, and then decline following these periods. In the event sales results are less than anticipated and our working capital requirements remain constant, the amount available under our Credit Facility may not be adequate to satisfy our needs. If this were to occur, we may not succeed in obtaining additional financing in sufficient amounts, if at all, and/or on acceptable terms.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of April 3, 2010, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2010. Certain of our accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations. In applying these critical accounting policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in making certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical experience, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. These estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.  We have chosen accounting policies that we believe are appropriate to report accurately and fairly our operating results and financial position, and we apply those accounting policies in a consistent manner.  Our critical accounting policies have not changed significantly since the filing of our Annual Report.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2009, the FASB issued additional authoritative guidance requiring new disclosures related to fair value measurements.  The new guidance requires entities to separately disclose the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers.  The guidance also requires entities to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within Level 3 fair value measurements.  The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosures will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

 

In February 2010, the FASB amended the authoritative guidance it issued in May 2009 on subsequent events. The original guidance required SEC filers to evaluate subsequent events through the date of financial statement issuance and to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  The guidance was amended so that SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  The new guidance was effective immediately upon issuance of the amendment which was in February 2010.  The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance which amends previously issued guidance on variable interest entities.  This new guidance prescribes a qualitative model for identifying whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, or VIE, and eliminates the quantitative model previously prescribed.  The new model identifies two primary characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) provides a company with the power to direct significant activities of the VIE; and (2) obligates a company to absorb losses of and/or provides rights to receive benefits from the VIE. The new guidance requires a company to reassess on an ongoing basis whether it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE. A company that holds a controlling financial interest is

deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  We believe the adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition that provides clarification on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated.  An entity is required to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price. These amendments also eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method.  These amendments significantly expand the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.  These provisions are to be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information relating to our company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 3, 2010.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the three-month period ended April 3, 2010, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On October 23, 2009, David O’Flynn, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action lawsuit in the California Superior Court in Orange County against the Company asserting denial of meal and rest breaks, failure to timely pay final wages or commissions and failure to provide itemized employee wage statements in violation of the California Labor Code.  The plaintiffs seek monetary damages and injunctive relief.  The Company plans to vigorously defend all allegations.  It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of this matter.

 

We are involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of conducting business. We are not aware of any such lawsuits, the ultimate outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.
