In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 1995 and for all periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: - ---------------------- SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 1996 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 1995: Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 1996 increased $1.8 million (3.1%) to $59.0 million from $57.2 million for the same period a year ago. This increase in revenues is primarily due to a $2.7 million (6.4%) increase in rentals and fees income. Of this increase in rentals and fees income, $3.5 million is attributed to Aaron's Rental Purchase stores in which rental revenues increased 19.7% to $21.3 million in the second quarter of 1996 compared to $17.8 million for the same quarter a year ago. Rental revenues from the Company's rent-to-rent operations declined $800,000 (3.4%) during the same period. Revenues from sales declined $1.0 million (7.1%) to $13.1 million compared to $14.1 million for the same period last year. This decline is due to lower sales of new furniture and sales to furniture distributors. Sales to furniture distributors decreased $670,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to a year ago. Other revenues in the second quarter 1996 were $519,000 compared to $463,000 a year ago. Included in other revenues is franchise and royalty fee income from franchised operations. This income for the current quarter was $315,000 compared to $203,000 for the same period a year ago. Cost of sales decreased $810,000 to $9.4 million compared to $10.3 million for the second quarter last year, and as a percentage of sales was 71.9% compared to 72.5% a year ago. Operating expenses increased $1.2 million (4.3%) to $29.7 million compared to $28.4 million a year ago. As a percentage of total revenues, operating expenses were 50.3% in the second quarter of fiscal year 1996 compared to 49.7% for the quarter a year ago. Depreciation of rental merchandise increased $216,000 (1.6%) to $13.9 million from $13.7 million last year and, as a percentage of total rentals and fees, decreased to 30.7% in the current quarter from 32.2% for the same quarter a year ago. The percentage decline was due to lower depreciation expense compared to rentals and fees at Aaron's Rental Purchase stores. Interest expense increased $99,000 (13.5%) to $830,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 1996 compared to $731,000 for the same quarter last year. The increase in interest expense was due to increased borrowing rates in the current quarter. Income tax expense increased $357,000 (22.5%) to $1.9 million compared to $1.6 million a year ago, and the Company's effective tax rate was 37.8% for the second quarter of fiscal year 1996 compared to 38.8% in the previous year's quarter. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to lower amounts provided in fiscal year 1996 for permanent differences. As a result, net earnings increased $698,000 (27.8%) to $3.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 1996 compared to $2.5 million a year ago. As a percentage of total revenues, net earnings were 5.4% in the current year quarter compared to 4.4% a year ago. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the second quarter of fiscal year 1996 was 10,022,000 compared to 10,040,000 for the same period last year. SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 1995. Total revenues for the six months of fiscal year 1996 increased $5.3 million (4.7%) to $118.1 million from $112.8 million for the same period a year ago. This increase in revenues is primarily due to a $6.7 million (7.9%) increase in rentals and fees income. Of this increase in rentals and fees income, $8.4 million is attributed to Aaron's Rental Purchase stores in which rental revenues increased 24.4% to $42.8 million in the first six months of 1996 compared to $34.4 million for the same period a year ago. Rental revenues from the Company's rent-to-rent operations declined $1.7 million (3.4%) during the same period. Revenues from sales declined $1.6 million (5.8%) to $26.0 million compared to $27.6 million for the same period last year. This decrease is due to decreased sales of new furniture and sales to furniture distributors. Sales to furniture distributors decreased $691,000 for the six months of fiscal year 1996 compared to the same period a year ago. Other revenues in the six months of 1996 were $1,106,000 compared to $891,000 a year ago. Included in other revenues is franchise and royalty fee income from franchised operations. This income for the first six months of fiscal year 1996 was $660,000 compared to $368,000 for the same period a year ago. Cost of sales decreased $1.4 million to $18.6 million compared to $19.9 million for the six months last year and, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 71.4% from 72.3%. The improvement in gross margins is primarily due to improved margins on the sale of rental return furniture. Operating expenses increased $3.0 million (5.3%) to $59.7 million compared to $56.7 million a year ago. As a percentage of total revenues, operating expenses were 50.5% for the first six months of fiscal year 1996 compared to 50.2% for the same period a year ago. Depreciation of rental merchandise increased $1.4 million (5.3%) to $27.8 million from $26.4 million last year and, as a percentage of total rentals and fees, decreased to 30.6% for the six months from 31.3% for the same period a year ago. The percentage decline was due to lower depreciation expense compared to rentals and fees at Aaron's Rental Purchase stores. Interest expense increased $169,000 (12.0%) to $1,580,000 for the first six months of fiscal year 1996 compared to $1,411,000 for the same period last year. The increase in interest expense is due to increased borrowing rates in the first six months of fiscal year 1996. Income tax expense increased $723,000 (22.2%) to $4.0 million compared to $3.3 million a year ago, and the Company's effective tax rate was 37.9% for the first six months of fiscal year 1996 compared to 38.9% in the previous year's period. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to lower amounts provided in fiscal year 1996 for permanent differences. As a result, net earnings increased $1.4 million (27.5%) to $6.5 million for the first six months of fiscal year 1996 compared to $5.1 million a year ago. As a percentage of total revenues, net earnings were 5.5% in the current year and 4.5% for the same period a year ago. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the first six months of fiscal year 1996 was 10,028,000 compared to 9,822,000 for the first six month period last year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: - -------------------------------- On May 2, 1994, the Company issued through a public offering 1,275,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. The net proceeds to the Company after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses were $14.1 million. The net proceeds were used to reduce bank debt. During the first quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Company declared a semi-annual dividend payable on July 6, 1995 of $.02 per share on Class A Common Stock and $.05 per share on Class B Common Stock. Management believes its expected cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of rental return merchandise, bank borrowings, and vendor credit are adequate to supply short-term capital needs, and that it has the ability to obtain additional long-term capital if needed. ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION ----------------- On November 7, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors made a decision to change the Company's fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. The Company has elected to file a transition report on Form 10-K for the nine-month transition period from April 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995, and will begin its quarterly reporting on its new fiscal year with its new first quarter ended March 31, 1996.
