See accompanying notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. 3 -------------------------- SYMS CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements February 26, 1994 and February 25, 1995 (Unaudited) - - --------------------------------------------------- Note 1 - The Company has changed its fiscal year end to the Saturday closest to the end of February. This interim report reflects the two month period between the prior fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, and the new fiscal year commencing February 26, 1995. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of February 26, 1994 and February 25, 1995 and the results of operations and cash flows for the eight week periods ended February 26, 1994 and February 25, 1995. While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results of the operations for the eight week period ended February 25, 1995 is not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. Note 2 - Inventory at February 26, 1994 was computed using a gross profit margin estimated by management. Commencing January 1, 1995, the Company implemented a retail stock ledger which enabled it to determine its interim inventory and gross margin based upon the retail method of accounting. Note 3 - Special charges consist of the following: Store close down costs .......................... $1,608,000 Write-off of pre-development costs and lease abandonment costs ............. $1,327,000 ---------- $2,935,000 ========== 4 -------------------------- SYMS CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------- Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - - -------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company has changed its fiscal year end from December to February. The results reported compare the interim period from January 1, 1995 to February 25, 1995 with the prior January 2, 1994 to February 26, 1994. Net sales for the eight weeks ended February 25, 1995 increased by $4,990,000 or 12.0% when compared with the eight weeks ended February 26, 1994. Comparable store net sales increased by $2,098,000 or 5.5%. This was augmented by an increase of $2,892,000 for stores opened less than one year. The gross margin for the eight weeks ended February 25, 1995 was 36.1% compared with 32.5% for the prior period. The prior period's gross margin was estimated by management. Commencing January 1, 1995, the Company implemented a retail stock ledger which enabled it to determine its interim inventory and gross margin based upon the retail method of accounting. As a percentage to net sales, operating, general and administrative expenses (excluding occupancy, depreciation and amortization) were 24.1% for the eight weeks ended February 25, 1995 and 25.2% for the eight weeks ended February 26, 1994. The decrease in operating, general and administrative expenses as a percentage to sales is attributable to an increase in net sales. As a percentage of net sales, occupancy expenses were 4.0% for the eight weeks ended February 25, 1995 and 4.1% for the eight weeks ended February 26, 1994. Loss before the benefit from income taxes was $567,000 or 1.0% of net sales for the eight weeks ended February 25, 1995, compared with income before the provision for income taxes of $84,000 for the eight weeks ended February 26, 1994. The decrease in net income before the provision for taxes was attributable to the special charges, offset by the increase in net sales and a higher gross margin. The special charges include costs associated with the close down of the Hoffman, Illinois store, write-off of costs associated with a lease in Cincinnati, Ohio in which the Company has decided not to open a store and write-off of pre-development costs associated with property located in Roseland, New Jersey. Provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before provision for income taxes, reflected a benefit of 32.4% for the transition period ended February 25,1995, and an expense of 40.5% for the prior period ended February 26, 1994. The current period includes a benefit of federal and state income taxes offset by certain other state income taxes. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital at February 25, 1995 was $60,703,000. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1,019,000 in the 1995 period compared to $3,416,000 in the 1994 period. Net loss for the eight weeks ended February 25, 1995 totaled $383,000 compared with income of $50,000 in the prior period. Net cash used in investing activities was $375,000 in the 1995 period compared to $1,910,000 in the 1994 period, primarily due to expenditures for property and equipment in both periods. Net cash used in financing activities was $893,000 in the 1995 period compared to $36,000 in the 1994 period. The increase in the 1995 period was due to repayment of short term borrowings. 5 -------------------------- SYMS CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------- The Company has planned capital expenditures of approximately $15,000,000 in 1995. Management believes that existing resources, internally generated funds and funds available from the revolving credit agreement will be sufficient for future working capital and capital expenditure requirements. 6 -------------------------- SYMS CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------- Part II - Other Information - - ----------------------------- Item 6.
