MARINEMAX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. COMPANY BACKGROUND:
     We are the largest recreational boat retailer in the United States. We engage primarily in the retail sale, brokerage, and service of new and used boats, motors, trailers, marine parts, and accessories and offer slip and storage accommodations in certain locations. In addition, we arrange related boat financing, insurance, and extended service contracts. As of December 31, 2008, we operated through 75 retail locations in 22 states, consisting of Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.
     We are the nation’s largest retailer of Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Meridian, Cabo, and Hatteras recreational boats and yachts, all of which are manufactured by Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick). Sales of new Brunswick boats accounted for approximately 49% of our revenue in fiscal 2008. Brunswick is the world’s largest manufacturer of marine products and marine engines. We believe we represented in excess of 10% of all Brunswick marine sales, including approximately 40% of its Sea Ray boat sales, during our 2008 fiscal year.
     We have dealership agreements with Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Cabo, Hatteras, Meridian, and Mercury Marine, all subsidiaries or divisions of Brunswick. We also have dealer agreements with Azimut. These agreements allow us to purchase, stock, sell, and service these manufacturers’ boats and products. These agreements also allow us to use these manufacturers’ names, trade symbols, and intellectual properties in our operations.
     We are parties to a multi-year dealer agreement with Brunswick covering Sea Ray products that appoints us as the exclusive dealer of Sea Ray boats in our geographic markets. We are party to a multi-year dealer agreement with Hatteras Yachts that gives us the exclusive right to sell Hatteras Yachts throughout the states of Florida (excluding the Florida panhandle), New Jersey, New York, and Texas. We are also the exclusive dealer for Cabo Yachts throughout the states of Florida, New Jersey, and New York through a multi-year dealer agreement. We are also the exclusive dealer for Italy-based Azimut-Benetti Group’s product line, Azimut Yachts, for the Northeast United States from Maryland to Maine and for the state of Florida through a multi-year dealer agreement. We believe the non-Brunswick brands offer a migration for our existing customer base or fill a void in our product offerings, and accordingly, do not compete with the business generated from our other prominent brands.
     As is typical in the industry, we deal with manufacturers, other than Sea Ray, Hatteras, Cabo and Azimut Yachts, under renewable annual dealer agreements, each of which gives us the right to sell various makes and models of boats within a given geographic region. Any change or termination of these agreements, or the agreements discussed above, for any reason, or changes in competitive, regulatory, or marketing practices, including rebate or incentive programs, could adversely affect our results of operations. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers of the type of boats and products that we sell, we believe that adequate alternative sources would be available to replace any manufacturer other than Brunswick as a product source. These alternative sources may not be available at the time of any interruption, and alternative products may not be available at comparable terms, which could affect operating results adversely.
     General economic conditions and consumer spending patterns can negatively impact our operating results. Unfavorable local, regional, national, or global economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could reduce consumer spending in the markets we serve and adversely affect our business. Economic conditions in areas in which we operate dealerships, particularly Florida in which we generated 46%, 44%, and 43% of our revenue during fiscal 2006, 2007, and 2008, respectively, can have a major impact on our operations. Local influences, such as corporate downsizing and military base closings, also could adversely affect our operations in certain markets.
     In an economic downturn, consumer discretionary spending levels generally decline, at times resulting in disproportionately large reductions in the sale of luxury goods. Consumer spending on luxury goods also may decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are favorable. Although we have expanded our operations during periods of stagnant or modestly declining industry trends, the cyclical nature of the recreational boating industry or the lack of industry growth could adversely affect our

Table of Contents

business, financial condition, or results of operations in the future. Any period of adverse economic conditions or low consumer confidence has a negative effect on our business.
     Lower consumer spending resulting from a downturn in the housing market and other economic factors adversely affected our business in fiscal 2007 and continued weakness in consumer spending resulting from substantial weakness in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions had a very substantial negative effect on our business in fiscal 2008 and 2009. These conditions caused us to defer our acquisition program, slow our new store openings, reduce our inventory purchases, engage in inventory reduction efforts, close some of our retail locations, and reduce our headcount. We cannot predict the length or severity of these unfavorable economic or financial conditions or the extent to which they will adversely affect our operating results nor can we predict the effectiveness of the measures we have taken to address this environment or whether additional measures will be necessary.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
     These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. All adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, have been reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods.
     The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The estimates made by us in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include valuation allowances, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of long-lived assets, and valuation of accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “MarineMax” mean MarineMax, Inc. prior to its acquisition of five previously independent recreational boat dealers in March 1998 (including their related real estate companies) and all references to the “Company,” “our company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean, as a combined company; MarineMax, Inc. and the 20 recreational boat dealers, two boat brokerage operations, and two full-service yacht repair operations acquired to date (the “acquired dealers,” and together with the brokerage and repair operations, “operating subsidiaries” or the “acquired companies”).
     In order to provide comparability between periods presented, certain amounts have been reclassified from the previously reported unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement presentation of the current period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
     In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R will require among other things, the expensing of direct transaction costs, in process research and development to be capitalized, certain contingent assets and liabilities to be recognized at fair value and earn-out arrangements may be required to be measured at fair value recognized each period in earnings. In addition, certain material adjustments will be required to be made to purchase accounting entries at the initial acquisition date and will cause revisions to previously issued financial information in subsequent filings. SFAS is effective for transactions occurring after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may have a material impact on our consolidated

Table of Contents

financial position, results from operations and cash flows should we enter into a material business combination after the standards effective date.
4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
     We account for goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142). Under this standard, we assess the impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The first step in the assessment is the estimation of fair value. If step one indicates that impairment potentially exists, we perform the second step to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Goodwill and identifiable intangible asset impairment exists when the estimated fair value is less than its carrying value.
     During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we experienced a significant decline in stock market valuation, driven primarily by weakness in the marine retail industry, and an overall soft economy, which hindered our financial performance. Accordingly, we completed a step one analysis (as noted above) and estimated the fair value of the reporting unit as prescribed by SFAS 142, which indicated potential impairment. As a result, we completed a fair value analysis of indefinite lived intangible assets and a step two goodwill impairment analysis, as required by SFAS 142. We determined that all indefinite lived intangible assets and goodwill were impaired and recorded a non-cash charge of $121.1 million based on our assessment. We will not be required to make any current or future cash expenditures as a result of this impairment charge.
5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITY:
     We account for derivative instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activity, an Amendment of SFAS 133” (SFAS 138) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 149), (collectively SFAS 133). Under these standards, all derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values.
     We utilize certain derivative instruments, from time to time, including interest rate swaps and forward contracts, to manage variability in cash flows associated with interest rates and forecasted purchases of boats and yachts from certain of our foreign suppliers in euros. At December 31, 2008, no such instruments were outstanding.
6. INCOME TAXES:
     We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109) and Financial Accounting Standard Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). Under SFAS 109, we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect those temporary differences to be recovered or settled. We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized by considering all available positive and negative evidence.
     Substantially all of our goodwill and intangibles were deductible for tax purposes. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, we wrote-off all of our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. The write-off, combined with other timing differences, gave rise to a net operating loss, which resulted in a net deferred tax asset of approximately $41.3 million. Pursuant to SFAS 109, we must consider all positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, including past operating results and future sources of taxable income. Under the provisions of SFAS 109, we determined that our net deferred tax asset needed to be reserved given recent earnings and industry trends. Accordingly, recording of the valuation allowance resulted in a non-cash charge of approximately $39.2 million.

7. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS:
     During December 2008, we entered into an amendment of our second amended and restated credit and security agreement originally entered into in June 2006. The amendment modified the amount of borrowing availability, financial covenants, inventory advance rates, and the collateral that secures the borrowings. With the amendment, the credit facility provides us a line of credit with asset-based borrowing availability of up to $425 million, stepping down to $350 million by September 30, 2009 and $300 million by May 31, 2010. However, the amendment also contains a provision that allows us to obtain commitments from existing or additional lenders, thereby increasing the capacity of the credit facility, up to $500 million, and enables us to obtain advances of up to $20 million against certain of our owned real estate. Amounts under the credit facility may be used for working capital and inventory financing, with the amount of permissible borrowings determined pursuant to a borrowing base formula. The credit facility also permits approved-vendor floorplan borrowings of up to $20 million. The amendment replaces the fixed charge coverage ratio with an interest coverage ratio for years ending on or after September 30, 2010; it includes a cumulative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA (as defined in the agreement), covenant for each quarter; it modifies the current ratio requirements; it reduces the amount of allowable capital expenditures; it requires approval for any stock repurchases; and it requires approval for acquisitions. The amended credit facility provides for interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 425 basis points through September 30, 2010 and thereafter at LIBOR plus 150 to 400 basis points, pursuant to a performance pricing grid based upon our interest coverage ratio, as defined. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by our inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, furniture, fixtures, and real estate. The amended credit facility matures in May 2011, with two one-year renewal options, subject to lender approval. As of December 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all of the credit facility covenants and our additional available borrowings under our credit facility were approximately $40 million.
     As is common in our industry, we receive interest assistance directly from boat manufacturers, including Brunswick. The interest assistance programs vary by manufacturer and generally include periods of free financing or reduced interest rate programs. The interest assistance may be paid directly to us or our lender depending on the arrangements the manufacturer has established. We classify interest assistance received from manufacturers as a reduction of inventory cost and related cost of sales as opposed to netting the assistance against our interest expense incurred with our lenders.
     The availability and costs of borrowed funds can adversely affect our ability to obtain adequate boat inventory and the holding costs of that inventory as well as the ability and willingness of our customers to finance boat purchases. As of December 31, 2008, we had no long-term debt. However, we rely on our credit facility to purchase our inventory of boats. Our ability to borrow under our credit facility depends on our ability, including further actions which may be necessary, to continue to satisfy our covenants and other obligations under our credit facility. The aging of our inventory limits our borrowing capacity as defined curtailments reduce the allowable advance rate as our inventory ages. Our access to funds under our credit facility also depends upon the ability of the banks that are parties to that facility to meet their funding commitments, particularly if they experience shortages of capital or experience excessive volumes of borrowing requests from others during a short period of time. A continuation of depressed economic conditions, weak consumer spending, turmoil in the credit markets, and lender difficulties could interfere with our ability to utilize the credit agreement to fund our operations. Any inability to utilize our credit facility or the acceleration of amounts owed, resulting from a covenant violation, insufficient collateral, or lender difficulties, could require us to seek other sources of funding to repay amounts outstanding under the credit agreement or replace or supplement our credit agreement, which may not be possible at all or under commercially reasonable terms.
     Similarly, the decreases in the availability of credit and increases in the cost of credit adversely affect the ability of our customers to purchase boats from us and thereby adversely affect our ability to sell our products and impact the profitability of our finance and insurance activities. Tight credit conditions, during fiscal 2008 and continuing in fiscal 2009, adversely affected the ability of customers to finance boat purchases, which had a negative affect on our operating results.

8.   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:
     Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, we used the Black-Scholes valuation model for valuing all stock-based compensation and shares granted under the ESPP. We measure compensation for restricted stock awards and restricted stock units at fair value on the grant date based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of our common stock. We recognize compensation cost for all awards in earnings, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.
     During the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Tax benefits realized for tax deductions from option exercises for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, were approximately $197,000 and $0, respectively.
     Cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, was approximately $1.6 million and $410,000, respectively. We currently expect to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued.
9. THE INCENTIVE STOCK PLANS:
     During February 2007, our stockholders approved a proposal to approve our 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (2007 Plan), which replaced our 1998 Incentive Stock Plan (1998 Plan). Our 2007 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, bonus stock, dividend equivalents, other stock related awards, and performance awards (collectively awards), that may be settled in cash, stock, or other property. Our 2007 Plan is designed to attract, motivate, retain, and reward our executives, employees, officers, directors, and independent contractors by providing such persons with annual and long-term performance incentives to expend their maximum efforts in the creation of stockholder value. The total number of shares of our common stock that may be subject to awards under the 2007 Plan is equal to 1,000,000 shares, plus (i) any shares available for issuance and not subject to an award under the 1998 Plan, (ii) the number of shares with respect to which awards granted under the 2007 Plan and the 1998 Plan terminate without the issuance of the shares or where the shares are forfeited or repurchased; (iii) with respect to awards granted under the 2007 Plan and the 1998 Plan, the number of shares that are not issued as a result of the award being settled for cash or otherwise not issued in connection with the exercise or payment of the award; and (iv) the number of shares that are surrendered or withheld in payment of the exercise price of any award or any tax withholding requirements in connection with any award granted under the 2007 Plan and the 1998 Plan. The 2007 Plan terminates in February 2017, and awards may be granted at any time during the life of the 2007 Plan. The date on which awards vest are determined by the Board of Directors or the Plan Administrator. The exercise prices of options are determined by the Board of Directors or the Plan Administrator and are at least equal to the fair market value of shares of common stock on the date of grant. The term of options under the 2007 Plan may not exceed ten years. The options granted have varying vesting periods. To date, we have not settled or been under any obligation to settle any awards in cash.
     The following table summarizes option activity from September 30, 2008 through December 31, 2008:

     The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2007, and 2008, was $8.12, and $7.40, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended December 31, 2007, and 2008 was approximately $485,000, and $0, respectively.
     As of December 31, 2007 and 2008, there was approximately $3.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years and 2.6 years, respectively. The total fair value of options vested during the three months ended December 31, 2007, and 2008 was approximately $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
     We continued using the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of options granted during fiscal 2009. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The following are the weighted-average assumptions used for each respective period:
                 
    Three Months Ended
    December 31,
    2007   2008
     
Dividend yield
    0.0 %     0.0 %
Risk-free interest rate
    3.7 %     2.2 %
Volatility
    43.4 %     63.4 %
Expected life
  7.5 years   6.1 years
10. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN (THE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN):
     During February 2008, our stockholders approved our 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2008 Plan). The 2008 Plan provides for up to 500,000 shares of common stock to be available for purchase by our regular employees who have completed at least one year of continuous service. The Stock Purchase Plan provides for implementation of up to 10 annual offerings beginning on the first day of October starting in 2008, with each offering terminating on September 30 of the following year. Each annual offering may be divided into two six-month offerings. For each offering, the purchase price per share will be the lower of (i) 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the first day of the offering or (ii) 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the last day of the offering. The purchase price is paid through periodic payroll deductions not to exceed 10% of the participant’s earnings during each offering period. However, no participant may purchase more than $25,000 worth of common stock annually.
     We continued using the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of options granted to purchase shares issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
     The following are the weighted-average assumptions used for each respective period:

11. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS:
     During fiscal 2007 and 2008, we granted non-vested (restricted) stock awards or restricted stock units (collectively restricted stock awards) to certain key employees pursuant to the 1998 Plan or the 2007 Plan. The restricted stock awards have varying vesting periods, but generally become fully vested at either the end of year four or the end of year five, depending on the specific award. The awards granted in fiscal 2008 require certain levels of performance by us before they are earned. Such performance metrics must be achieved by September 2011 or the awards will be forfeited. The stock underlying the vested restricted stock units will be delivered upon vesting.
     We accounted for the restricted stock awards granted during fiscal 2007 and 2008 using the measurement and recognition provisions of SFAS 123R. Accordingly, the fair value of the restricted stock awards is measured on the grant date and recognized in earnings over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.
     The following table summarizes restricted stock award activity from September 30, 2008 through December 31, 2008:
                 
            Weighted
            Average Grant
    Shares   Date Fair Value

Awards vested
    (179,753 )   $ 26.19

Non-vested balance at December 31, 2008
    584,697     $ 22.28  
 
               
     As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $5.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards granted under the plan. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.
12. NET LOSS PER SHARE:
     The following is a reconciliation of the shares used in the denominator for calculating basic and diluted loss per share:
                 
    Three Months Ended
    December 31,
    2007   2008
Weighted average common shares outstanding used in calculating basic loss per share
    18,364,676       18,500,794  
 
               
Effect of dilutive options
           
 
               
 
               
Weighted average common and common equivalent shares used in calculating diluted loss per share
    18,364,676       18,500,794  
 
               
     Options to purchase 403,903 and 67,103 shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, but as a result of our net loss, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Options to purchase 1,222,200 and 2,074,264 shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, but were not included in the computation of loss per share because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common stock, and therefore, their effect would be anti-dilutive.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
     We are party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate liability, if any, associated with these matters was not believed to be material at December 31, 2008. While it is not feasible to determine the actual outcome of these actions as of December 31, 2008, we do not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to our future economic performance, plans and objectives for future operations, and projections of revenue and other financial items that are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated as a result of a number of factors, including those listed under “Business-Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.
General
     We are the largest recreational boat retailer in the United States with fiscal 2008 revenue in excess of $880 million. Through 75 retail locations in 22 states, we sell new and used recreational boats and related marine products, including engines, trailers, parts, and accessories. We also arrange related boat financing, insurance, and extended warranty contracts; provide boat repair and maintenance services; offer yacht and boat brokerage services; and, where available, offer slip and storage accommodations.
          MarineMax was incorporated in January 1998. We commenced operations with the acquisition of five independent recreational boat dealers on March 1, 1998. Since the initial acquisitions in March 1998, we have significantly expanded our operations through the acquisition of 20 recreational boat dealers, two boat brokerage operations, and two full-service yacht repair facilities. As a part of our acquisition strategy, we frequently engage in discussions with various recreational boat dealers regarding their potential acquisition by us. Potential acquisition discussions frequently take place over a long period of time and involve difficult business integration and other issues, including, in some cases, management succession and related matters. As a result of these and other factors, a number of potential acquisitions that from time to time appear likely to occur do not result in binding legal agreements and are not consummated.
     General economic conditions and consumer spending patterns can negatively impact our operating results. Unfavorable local, regional, national, or global economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could reduce consumer spending in the markets we serve and adversely affect our business. Economic conditions in areas in which we operate dealerships, particularly Florida in which we generated 46%, 44%, and 43% of our revenue during fiscal 2006, 2007, and 2008, respectively, can have a major impact on our operations. Local influences, such as corporate downsizing and military base closings, also could adversely affect our operations in certain markets.
     In an economic downturn, consumer discretionary spending levels generally decline, at times resulting in disproportionately large reductions in the sale of luxury goods. Consumer spending on luxury goods also may decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are favorable. Although we have expanded our operations during periods of stagnant or modestly declining industry trends, the cyclical nature of the recreational boating industry or the lack of industry growth could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations in the future. Any period of adverse economic conditions or low consumer confidence has a negative effect on our business.
     Lower consumer spending resulting from a downturn in the housing market and other economic factors adversely affected our business in fiscal 2007 and continued weakness in consumer spending resulting from substantial weakness in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions had a very substantial negative effect on our business in fiscal 2008. These conditions caused us to defer our acquisition program, slow our new store openings, reduce our inventory purchases, engage in inventory reduction efforts, close some of our retail locations, and reduce our headcount. We cannot predict the length or severity of these unfavorable economic or financial conditions or the extent to which they will adversely affect our operating results nor can we predict the effectiveness of the measures we have taken to address this environment or whether additional measures will be necessary.

     Although economic conditions have adversely affected our operating results, we have capitalized on our core strengths to substantially outperform the industry and deliver market share gains. Our ability to deliver an increase in market share supports the alignment of our retailing strategies with the desires of consumers. We believe the steps we have taken to preserve and grow market share will yield an increase in future revenue. As general economic trends improve, we expect our core strengths and retailing strategies will position us to capitalize on growth opportunities as they occur and will allow us to emerge from this challenging environment with greater earnings potential.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
     We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.
     In the ordinary course of business, we make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition
          We recognize revenue from boat, motor, and trailer sales, and parts and service operations at the time the boat, motor, trailer, or part is delivered to or accepted by the customer or service is completed. We recognize commissions earned from a brokerage sale at the time the related brokerage transaction closes. We recognize revenue from slip and storage services on a straight-line basis over the term of the slip or storage agreement. We recognize commissions earned by us for placing notes with financial institutions in connection with customer boat financing when we recognize the related boat sales. We also recognize marketing fees earned on credit life, accident and disability, and hull insurance products sold by third-party insurance companies at the later of customer acceptance of the insurance product as evidenced by contract execution or when the related boat sale is recognized. We also recognize commissions earned on extended warranty service contracts sold on behalf of third-party insurance companies at the later of customer acceptance of the service contract terms, as evidenced by contract execution or recognition of the related boat sale.
     Certain finance and extended warranty commissions and marketing fees on insurance products may be charged back if a customer terminates or defaults on the underlying contract within a specified period of time. Based upon our experience of repayments and defaults, we maintain a chargeback allowance that was not material to our financial statements taken as a whole as of December 31, 2008. Should results differ materially from our historical experiences, we would need to modify our estimate of future chargebacks, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating margins.
Vendor Consideration Received
          We account for consideration received from our vendors in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 02-16, “Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor” (EITF 02-16). EITF 02-16 most significantly requires us to classify interest assistance received from manufacturers as a reduction of inventory cost and related cost of sales as opposed to netting the assistance against our interest expense incurred with our lenders. Pursuant to EITF 02-16, amounts received by us under our co-op assistance programs from our manufacturers are netted against related advertising expenses.

Inventories
          Inventory costs consist of the amount paid to acquire the inventory, net of vendor consideration and purchase discounts, the cost of equipment added, reconditioning costs, and transportation costs relating to acquiring inventory for sale. We state new boat, motor, and trailer inventories at the lower of cost, determined on a specific-identification basis, or market. We state used boat, motor, and trailer inventories, including trade-in’s, at the lower of cost, determined on a specific-identification basis, or market. We state parts and accessories at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or market. We utilize our historical experience, the aging of the inventories, and our consideration of current market trends as the basis for determining lower of cost or market valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2008 our lower of cost or market valuation allowance was not material to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. If events occur and market conditions change, causing the fair value to fall below carrying value, the lower of cost or market valuation allowance could increase.
Valuation of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
          We account for goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142). Under this standard, we assess the impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The first step in the assessment is the estimation of fair value. If step one indicates that impairment potentially exists, we perform the second step to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Goodwill and identifiable intangible asset impairment exists when the estimated fair value is less than its carrying value.
     During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we experienced a significant decline in stock market valuation driven primarily by weakness in the marine retail industry and an overall soft economy, which hindered our financial performance. Accordingly, we completed a step one analysis (as noted above) and estimated the fair value of the reporting unit as prescribed by SFAS 142, which indicated potential impairment. As a result, we completed a fair value analysis of indefinite lived intangible assets and a step two goodwill impairment analysis, as required by SFAS 142. We determined that all indefinite lived intangible assets and goodwill were impaired and recorded a non-cash charge of $121.1 million based on our assessment. We will not be required to make any current or future cash expenditures as a result of this impairment charge.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS 144), requires that long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent our best estimate based on currently available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. Any impairment recognized in accordance with SFAS 144 is permanent and may not be restored. As of September 30, 2008, we had not recognized any impairment of long-lived assets in connection with SFAS 144 based on our reviews.
     During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we experienced a significant decline in stock market valuation driven primarily by weakness in the marine retail industry and an overall soft economy, which has hindered our financial performance. As a result of this weakness, we realized a goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge, as noted above. Based on these events, we reviewed the valuation of our investment in Gulfport in accordance with APB 18 and recoverability of the assets contained within the joint venture. APB 18 requires that a loss in value of an investment which is other than a temporary decline should be recognized. We reviewed our investment and assets contained within the Gulfport joint venture, which consists of land, buildings, equipment, and goodwill. As a result, we determined that our investment in the joint venture was impaired and recorded a non-cash charge of $1.0 million based on our assessment. We will not be required to make any current or future cash expenditures as a result of this impairment charge.

Income Taxes
     We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109) and Financial Accounting Standard Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). Under SFAS 109, we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect those temporary differences to be recovered or settled. We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized by considering all available positive and negative evidence.
     Substantially all of our goodwill and intangibles were deductible for tax purposes. During the year ended September 30, 2008, we wrote-off all of our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. The write-off combined with other timing differences, gave rise to a net operating loss, which resulted in a net deferred tax asset of approximately $41.3 million. Pursuant to SFAS 109, we must consider all positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, including past operating results and future sources of taxable income. Under the provisions of SFAS 109, we determined that our net deferred tax asset needed to be reserved given recent earnings and industry trends. Accordingly, recording of the valuation allowance resulted in a non-cash charge of approximately $39.2 million.
Stock-Based Compensation
     Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, we used the Black-Scholes valuation model for valuing all stock-based compensation and shares granted under the ESPP. We measure compensation for restricted stock awards and restricted stock units at fair value on the grant date based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of our common stock. We recognize compensation cost for all awards in earnings, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.
Consolidated Results of Operations
     The following discussion compares the three months ended December 31, 2008 with the three months ended December 31, 2007 and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Report.
Three Months Ended December 31, 2008 Compared with Three Months Ended December 31, 2007
     Revenue. Revenue decreased $115.0 million, or 53.4%, to $100.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $215.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Of this decrease, $114.3 million was attributable to a 52% decline in comparable-store sales and approximately $700,000 was attributable to stores opened that are not eligible for inclusion in the comparable-store base for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The decline in our comparable-store sales was due to softer economic conditions, which adversely impacted our retail sales.
     Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $24.4 million, or 50.7%, to $23.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $48.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 23.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from 22.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was driven by the shift in product mix of new boat sales and an increase in our higher margin service and parts business.
     Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $14.3 million, or 26.9%, to $38.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $53.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The overall decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses was due primarily to the decline in personnel costs, resulting from reductions in workforce, reduced commissions, reductions in manager bonuses, and reductions in marketing and travel and entertainment expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased approximately 14.1% to 38.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from 24.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2007, as a result of the decline in same-store sales.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.8 million, or 31%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $5.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily a result of decreased borrowings on our credit facility and mortgages coupled with the more favorable interest rate environment. Interest expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 4.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from 2.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 due to the overall decline in revenue.
     Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit increased $352,000, or 7.8%, to $4.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $4.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Our effective income tax rate decreased to approximately 25.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2008, from 41.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2007, primarily due to the limitation on our net operating loss carry back coupled with changes in our valuation allowances associated with our deferred tax assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Our cash needs are primarily for working capital to support operations, including new and used boat and related parts inventories, off-season liquidity, and growth through acquisitions and new store openings. We regularly monitor the aging of our inventories and current market trends to evaluate our current and future inventory needs. We also use this evaluation in conjunction with our review of our current and expected operating performance and expected growth to determine the adequacy of our financing needs. These cash needs have historically been financed with cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facility. Our ability to utilize our credit facility to fund operations depends upon the collateral levels and compliance with the covenants of the credit facility. Turmoil in the credit markets and weakness in the retail markets may interfere with our ability to remain in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility and therefore utilize the credit facility to fund operations. At December 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all of the credit facility covenants. We currently depend upon dividends and other payments from our dealerships and our credit facility to fund our current operations and meet our cash needs. Currently, no agreements exist that restrict this flow of funds from our dealerships.
     For the three months ended December 31, 2007, cash used in operating activities approximated $69.9 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2007, cash used in operating activities was primarily used to increase inventories to ensure appropriate inventory levels and decrease accounts payable to tax authorities, partially offset by decreased accounts receivable from our manufacturers. For the three months ended December 31, 2008, cash provided by operating activities approximated $28.3 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2008, cash provided by operating activities was primarily generated by the reductions in inventories and accounts receivable partially offset by net loss, decreased customer deposits and accrued expenses.
     For the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, cash used in investing activities approximated $2.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and was primarily used to purchase property and equipment associated with improving and relocating existing retail facilities.
     For the three months ended December 31, 2007, cash provided by financing activities approximated $64.7 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2007, cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to net borrowings of short-term borrowings as a result of increased inventory levels and net proceeds from common shares issued upon the exercise of stock options and stock purchases under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, partially offset by repayments of long-term debt. For the three months ended December 31, 2008, cash used in financing activities approximated $42.6 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2008, cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to net repayments of short-term borrowings as a result of decreased inventory levels and net proceeds from stock purchases under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
     During December 2008, we entered into an amendment of our second amended and restated credit and security agreement originally entered into in June 2006. The amendment modified the amount of borrowing availability, financial covenants, inventory advance rates, and the collateral that secures the borrowings. With the amendment, the credit facility provides us a line of credit with asset-based borrowing availability of up to $425 million, stepping down to $350 million by September 30, 2009 and $300 million by May 31, 2010. However, the amendment also contains a provision that allows us to obtain commitments from existing or additional lenders, thereby increasing the capacity of the credit facility, up to $500 million, and enables us to obtain advances of up to $20 million against certain of our owned real estate. Amounts under the credit facility may be used for working capital and inventory financing, with the amount of permissible borrowings determined pursuant to a borrowing base formula. The credit facility also permits approved-vendor floorplan borrowings of up to $20 million. The amendment replaces the fixed

Table of Contents

charge coverage ratio with an interest coverage ratio for years ending on or after September 30, 2010; it includes a cumulative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA (as defined in the agreement), covenant for each quarter; it modifies the current ratio requirements; it reduces the amount of allowable capital expenditures; it requires approval for any stock repurchases; and it requires approval for acquisitions. The amended credit facility provides for interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 425 basis points through September 30, 2010 and thereafter at LIBOR plus 150 to 400 basis points, pursuant to a performance pricing grid based upon our interest coverage ratio, as defined. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by our inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, furniture, fixtures, and real estate. The amended credit facility matures in May 2011, with two one-year renewal options, subject to lender approval. As of December 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all of the credit facility covenants.
     As of December 31, 2008, our indebtedness totaled approximately $329 million associated with financing our inventory and working capital needs. At December 31, 2007 and 2008, the interest rate on the outstanding short-term borrowings was 6.1% and 5.7%, respectively. At December 31, 2008, our additional available borrowings under our credit facility were approximately $40 million.
     We issued a total of 79,120 shares of our common stock in conjunction with our Incentive Stock Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the three months ended December 31, 2008 in exchange for approximately $410,000 in cash. Our Incentive Stock Plans provide for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options to acquire our common stock, the grant of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, the grant of common stock, the grant of stock appreciation rights, and the grant of other cash awards to key personnel, directors, consultants, independent contractors, and others providing valuable services to us. Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan is available to all our regular employees who have completed at least one year of continuous service.
     Except as specified in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we have no material commitments for capital for the next 12 months. We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to finance our operations for at least the next 12 months, except for possible significant acquisitions.
Impact of Seasonality and Weather on Operations
     Our business, as well as the entire recreational boating industry, is highly seasonal, with seasonality varying in different geographic markets. With the exception of Florida, we generally realize significantly lower sales and higher levels of inventories, and related short-term borrowings, in the quarterly periods ending December 31 and March 31. The onset of the public boat and recreation shows in January stimulates boat sales and allows us to reduce our inventory levels and related short-term borrowings throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. Our business could become substantially more seasonal as we acquire dealers that operate in colder regions of the United States.
     Our business is also subject to weather patterns, which may adversely affect our results of operations. For example, drought conditions (or merely reduced rainfall levels) or excessive rain may close area boating locations or render boating dangerous or inconvenient, thereby curtailing customer demand for our products. In addition, unseasonably cool weather and prolonged winter conditions may lead to a shorter selling season in certain locations. Hurricanes and other storms could result in disruptions of our operations or damage to our boat inventories and facilities, as has been the case when Florida and other markets were hit by hurricanes. Although our geographic diversity is likely to reduce the overall impact to us of adverse weather conditions in any one market area, these conditions will continue to represent potential, material adverse risks to us and our future financial performance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
          At December 31, 2008, all of our short-term debt bore interest at a variable rate, tied to LIBOR as a reference rate. Changes in the underlying LIBOR interest rate or the spread charged under our performance pricing grid on our short-term debt could affect our earnings. For example, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the interest rate on our short-term debt would result in an increase of approximately $3.3 million in annual pre-tax interest expense. This estimated increase is based upon the outstanding balance of our short-term debt as of December 31, 2008 and assumes no mitigating changes by us to reduce the outstanding balances, no additional interest assistance that could be received from vendors due to the interest rate increase, and no changes in the base LIBOR rate.
     Products purchased from Italian-based manufacturers are subject to fluctuations in the euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate, which ultimately may impact the retail price at which we can sell such products. Accordingly, fluctuations in the value of the euro as compared with the U.S. dollar may impact the price points at which we can sell profitably Italian products, and such price points may not be competitive with other product lines in the United States. Accordingly, such fluctuations in exchange rates ultimately may impact the amount of revenue, cost of goods sold, cash flows, and earnings we recognize for Italian product lines. We cannot predict the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results. In certain cases, we may enter into foreign currency cash flow hedges to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with forecasted purchases of boats and yachts from Italian-based manufacturers. We are not currently engaged in foreign currency exchange hedging transactions to manage our foreign currency exposure. If and when we do engage in foreign currency exchange hedging transactions, we cannot assure that our strategies will adequately protect our operating results from the effects of exchange rate fluctuations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
          We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated 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 of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
     During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
     Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future

conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
CEO and CFO Certifications
     Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 are the Certifications of the CEO and the CFO, respectively. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications).

     By way of example and not limitation, (a) if the Borrowers publicly release their financial reports for the fiscal quarter ended March 31 on April 25 and publicly release their financial reports for the fiscal quarter ended June 30 on August 5, then from May 1 until August 31 the Pricing Tier in effect shall be the Pricing Tier determined in accordance with the financial reports released on April 25, and (b) if the EBITDA/Interest Coverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter ended March 31 is greater than or equal to 3.00 but less than 3.50, then during the period specified in (a) above the Borrowers would be in Pricing Tier II.

     3. Changes to Section 2.01(a) Relating to the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit. Section 2.01(a) is hereby revised to read in its entirety as follows:
     2.01 Advances.
          (a) Commitment for Revolving Credit. The Lenders severally agree, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Advances to the Borrowers in respect of the Commitment from time to time until the Termination Date. The following rules shall govern the amount of the Advances:
               (1) The aggregate outstanding amount of such Advances may equal but shall never exceed the lesser of (A) the Commitment Amount, and (B) the Borrowing Base. For purpose of this test, any Letter of Credit outstanding under paragraph (3) below shall be deemed an Advance.
               (2) Borrowers and Lenders agree to add an accordion feature to the Commitment. Consequently, if (A) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, (B) Borrowers obtain commitments from Lenders and/or other persons who would qualify as assignees for such increased amounts, (C) any new Lender suggested by Borrowers is approved by the Required Lenders, and (D) appropriate definitive loan documentation is executed and delivered by the parties, at Borrowers’ election the aggregate maximum principal amount of the Commitments may be increased from time to time after the Effective Date, provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount of the Commitment Amount does not exceed five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000), (ii) each such increase shall be in a minimum amount of thirty million dollars ($30,000,000),

11


 

and with each new Lender to have a minimum commitment of at least eighteen million dollars ($18,000,000), and (iii) Borrowers shall first offer to the existing Lenders the right to commit to the increased amount, but no existing Lender shall be required to commit to any such increased amount. No such increase shall increase any sub-limit set forth in this Agreement, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any such increase.
               (3) There is hereby established a sub-limit for Letters of Credit in the aggregate amount not exceeding the LC Commitment of seven million dollars ($7,000,0000). The issuance of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the LC Commitment shall be subject to the further terms specified in Section 2.13 of this Agreement. In connection with any outstanding Letter of Credit, Borrowers will accrue an annual letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the higher of (A) five hundred dollars ($500), or (B) the amount determined in accordance with Section 2.05 of this Agreement on an Advance equal to the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. The minimum Letter of Credit Fee for any Letter of Credit (irrespective of the amount or duration of such Letter of Credit) shall be five hundred dollars ($500). The accrued Letter of Credit Fee for each Letter of Credit shall be payable quarterly in arrears, commencing on the effective date of the Letter of Credit. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee, at the time of issuance of each Letter of Credit Borrowers and the Issuing Bank shall negotiate an issuance fee for such Letter of Credit to be paid at the time of issuance and to be retained by the Issuing Bank.
               (4) No Lender shall be permitted or required to make any Advance in respect of the Commitment if, after giving effect thereto, the principal amount of such Lender’s total outstanding Advances would exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Commitment Amount.
Because the Commitment creates a revolving credit facility, the Borrowers may borrow under the Commitment, repay such Advances without premium or penalty, and reborrow prior to the Termination Date in accordance with this Agreement.
     4. Changes to Section 2.05 Relating to the Loan Rate and Letter of Credit Fee. Section 2.05 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
          2.05. Interest on Advances; Letter of Credit Fees.
               (a) All Advances shall bear interest at the applicable Loan Rate in effect from time to time, with the Loan Rate to be determined based upon the LIBOR Margin applicable at the date of determination.
               (b) From the date of the Fourth Amendment to this Agreement until the first day of the calendar month following the public release of the Borrowers’ financial reports for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, the Loan Rate will be the sum of (1) the LIBOR, and (2) an agreed LIBOR Margin of 4.25%, and the applicable Letter of Credit Fee shall be 4.25%. Commencing

12


 

October 1, 2010, the Loan Rate applicable at any time shall equal the sum of (A) the LIBOR, and (B) the LIBOR Margin determined on the basis of the Borrowers’ Pricing Tier. During the periods referred to in the preceding sentence, the applicable LIBOR Margin and Letter of Credit Fee for each Pricing Tier shall be as follows:
         
Borrowers’ Pricing Tier   LIBOR Margin and Letter of Credit Fee
Pricing Tier I
    1.50 %
Pricing Tier II
    1.75 %
Pricing Tier III
    2.25 %
Pricing Tier IV
    3.00 %
Pricing Tier V
    4.00 %
               (c) Interest will be calculated on a simple interest basis for a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, based on actual days elapsed.
               (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, during the continuance of any Event of Default the Borrowers shall pay interest at the Default Rate on (1) the unpaid principal balance of the Advances, and (2) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any interest, fee, or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due. In addition, during any such period the Letter of Credit Fee on any outstanding Letter of Credit shall be increased to the Default Rate.
     5. Change to Section 2.08 Relating to Undrawn Commitment Fee. Section 2.08 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
          2.08 Undrawn Commitment Fee. Effective as of the date of the Fourth Amendment to this Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an Undrawn Commitment Fee calculated as follows:
               (a) The Undrawn Commitment Fee shall be payable on the amount by which the Commitment Amount shall exceed the average principal amount of Advances outstanding (including LC Exposure) under the Commitment during such calendar month.
               (b) From the date of the Fourth Amendment to this Agreement until the first day of the calendar month following the public release of the Borrowers’ financial reports for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, the Undrawn Commitment Fee will be 0.25%. Commencing with the first day of the calendar month following the public release of the Borrowers’ financial reports for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, the Undrawn Commitment Fee will be determined on the basis of the Borrowers’ Pricing Tier, as follows.

13


 

         
Borrowers’ Pricing Tier   Undrawn Commitment Fee
Pricing Tier I
    0.15 %
Pricing Tier II
    0.20 %
Pricing Tier III
    0.25 %
Pricing Tier IV
    0.25 %
Pricing Tier V
    0.35 %
               (c) The Undrawn Commitment Fee shall be calculated on a monthly basis but shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates in February, May, August, and November.
     6. Addition of New Section 2.13 Relating to Letters of Credit. A new Section 2.13 is hereby added to the Agreement, reading in its entirety as follows:
          2.13. Procedures Relating to Letters of Credit. The rules governing the issuance of Letters of Credit shall be as follows:
               (a) Between the date of the Fourth Amendment to this Agreement and the date that is one year prior to the Termination Date, the Issuing Bank, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.13(d), agrees to issue, at the request of the Borrowers, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; provided, that (i) each Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier of (A) the date one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date, (ii) each Letter of Credit shall be in a stated amount of at least $100,000; and (iii) the Borrowers may not request any Letter of Credit, if, after giving effect to such issuance (A) the aggregate LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment, or (B) the aggregate LC Exposure plus the amount of other outstanding Advances would exceed the Commitment Amount. Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank without recourse a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such participation. If at any time prior to the Termination Date this Agreement should be terminated by virtue of the Borrowers’ refinancing the indebtedness contemplated hereby, the Borrowers’ shall arrange to replace and secure the return of each of the outstanding Letters of Credit prior to the termination of this Agreement.
               (b) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or any amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrowers shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of such issuance specifying the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of Credit

14


 

is to be issued (or amended, extended or renewed, as the case may be), the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit , the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 2.02, the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or any amendment which increases the amount of such Letter of Credit) will be subject to the further conditions that such Letter of Credit shall be in such form and contain such terms as the Issuing Bank shall approve and that the Borrowers shall have executed and delivered any additional applications, agreements and instruments relating to such Letter of Credit as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between such applications, agreements or instruments and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
               (c) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received such notice and if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the date the Issuing Bank is to issue the requested Letter of Credit (1) directing the Issuing Bank not to issue the Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted hereunder because of the limitations set forth in Section 2.13(a), or (2) that one or more conditions specified in Section 2.02 are not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue such Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices.
               (d) The Issuing Bank shall examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit promptly following its receipt thereof. The Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided, however, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to such LC Disbursement. The Borrowers shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursements paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such drawing, without presentment, demand or other formalities of any kind. Unless the Borrowers shall have notified the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which such drawing is honored that the Borrowers intend to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing in funds other than from the proceeds of Advances, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have timely given an Advance Request to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make an Advance Request on the date on which such drawing is honored in an exact amount due to the Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Advance, and each Lender

15


 

shall make the proceeds of its portion of the Advance available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank. The proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement.
               (e) If for any reason an Advance may not be (as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) shall be obligated to fund the participation that such Lender purchased pursuant to Subsection 2.13(a) in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement on and as of the date which such Advance should have occurred. Each Lender’s obligation to fund its participation shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or any other Person may have against the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the Commitment, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrowers or any other Lender, (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. On the date that such participation is required to be funded, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank. Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has received from any such Lender the funds for its participation in a LC Disbursement, the Issuing Bank (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) receives any payment on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Percentage of such payment; provided, however, that if such payment is required to be returned for any reason to the Borrowers or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or similar official in any bankruptcy proceeding, such Lender will return to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank any portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to it.
               (f) To the extent that any Lender shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.13 on the due date therefor, such Lender shall pay interest to the Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent) on such amount from such due date to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.
               (g) Promptly following the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank shall deliver (through the Administrative Agent) to each Lender and the Borrowers a report describing the aggregate Letters of Credit outstanding at the end of such fiscal quarter. Upon the request of any Lender from time to time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Lender any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding.

16


 

               (h) The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any of the following circumstances:
                    (i) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement;
                    (ii) The existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), any Lender (including the Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;
                    (iii) Any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
                    (iv) Payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document to the Issuing Bank that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
                    (v) Any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder; or
                    (vi) The existence of a Default or an Event of Default.
Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders nor any Related Party of any of the foregoing shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to above), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any actual direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect (including claims for lost profits or other consequential damages), or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts or other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto

17


 

expressly agree, that in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
     (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, as the same may be amended from time to time, and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of Georgia governing this Agreement.

The Mortgages shall run in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders.

               (z) At least once during each rolling three-month period, the Collateral Agent will inspect all Eligible New Inventory and Eligible Used Inventory at each location at which Eligible New Inventory and Eligible Used Inventory are located.
     15. Changes to Section 8.07(b) Relating to Inspection Fees. Section 8.07(b) relating to inspections by the Collateral Agent shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:
          (b) For every month that the Collateral Agent conducts an inspection Borrowers will pay the Collateral Agent a fee of five hundred dollars ($500) plus seventy-five dollars ($75) per location inspected (except that now such $75 fee shall be paid in respect of the Company’s headquarters location), and three dollars ($3) for each Unit inspected in the manner contemplated by Section 8.01(b). On a monthly basis the Collateral Agent will submit an invoice for its inspection fees to the Administrative Agent and Borrowers, and the Administrative Agent will include such inspection fees in its monthly invoice to Borrowers. If Borrowers fail to pay such inspection fees, Lenders shall pay them in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages.

     17. Changes to Section 9.06 Relating to Replacement or Addition of Lenders. Section 9.06 relating to the replacement or addition of Lenders is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
          9.06 Replacement or Addition of Lenders.
     (a) If any Lender defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Borrowers, with the consent of all of the Lenders other than the defaulting Lender, shall have the right to replace the defaulting Lender.
     (b) If the Borrowers (if not in material Default) and the Required Lenders shall desire to replace any Lender, they may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lender and with or without cause, replace such Lender with another Lender selected and approved by the Borrowers (if not in material Default) and the Required Lenders and named in such notice to the Lender being replaced. The Borrowers, if they shall have supported such replacement, or the other Lenders (based on their respective Pro Rata Percentages, but calculated as hereinafter provided), if the Borrowers shall not have supported such replacement (by virtue of the fact that the Borrowers were in material Default) shall pay to the replaced Lender all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees that the replaced Lender incurs in connection with assigning to the replacement Lender without recourse its interests as a Lender under the Loan Documents. Any payments required to be made by the other Lenders to the replaced Lender shall be apportioned among the other Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Percentages, so that each other Lender’s share of the amounts payable by the Lenders under this Section shall equal that fraction of the total of which (1) the numerator is such other Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage, and (2) the denominator is the total Pro Rata Percentages of all such other Lenders.
     (c) If any Lender replaced under this Section shall have been an Agent (other than the Documentation Agent, which has no duties after the date of this Agreement), then such Agent shall be deemed removed at the effective date of such Lender’s replacement, and the procedure for selection of a successor Agent shall be as set forth in Section 8.08 of this Agreement.
     (d) If the Borrowers (if not in material Default) and the Required Lenders shall desire to add any Lender (other than in replacement of a Lender under (b) above), they may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to each Lender and with or without cause add another Lender selected and approved by the Borrowers (if not in material Default) and the Required Lenders and named in such notice to the Lenders. Upon such addition of a Lender, the added Lender shall purchase a share of the Commitment as approved by Borrowers and the Required Lenders and thereupon shall effect a reduction (based on the Pro Rata Percentages of the Lenders) in each of the existing Lender’s Pro Rata Percentages of the Commitment.

28


 

     18. Amendment Fees. At the time of closing on this Fourth Amendment, Borrowers shall pay the Lenders an amendment fee of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), with such amendment fee to be divided among the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Percentages. Borrowers also shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent for their legal fees and expenses in connection with the execution and delivery of this Fourth Amendment.
     19. Representations and Warranties of the Borrowers. The Borrowers represent and warrant to the Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders as follows:
          (a) Authorization. This Fourth Amendment and each related Loan Document has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each of the Borrowers, has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Borrowers, and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of each of the Borrowers enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms.
          (b) Security Documents. The Mortgages and other related documents to be executed and delivered by Borrowers as contemplated hereby shall be adequate to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Pledged Real Estate Collateral or the Additional Real Estate Collateral described therein, as applicable.
     20.  Opinion of Counsel. This Fourth Amendment shall not become effective until the Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders shall have received an opinion of counsel to the Company and the other Borrowers reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders to the effect set for in Sections 19(a) and 19(b) of this Fourth Amendment; provided, however, that such opinion of counsel may be subject to customary qualifications; and provided further that no opinion with respect to Section 19(b) of this Fourth Amendment shall be required until such time as the related Mortgages shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrowers in the manner contemplated by Section 4.07 or Section 4.08, as applicable.
     21. Filing of New or Amended Financing Statements. The Borrowers hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to file new or amended financing statements in order to conform the description of the Collateral to this Fourth Amendment.
     22. Effect on Agreement. Except as specifically amended and modified by this Fourth Amendment, all terms, conditions, covenants and agreements set forth in the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The miscellaneous provisions of Article IX of the Agreement shall apply with equal force to this Fourth Amendment.
     23. Counterparts. This Fourth Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute one agreement.
