Non-cash investing and financing activities:

 

On April 1, 2004, the Company acquired certain assets of ProSports Memorabilia, Inc. (“ProSports”), in order to further support its e-commerce initiative, for an aggregate purchase price of $683. $100 was paid at closing and $212 since closing, and the remaining $398 will be paid over a three year period, ending in March 2007. The payments are not pursuant to a note payable, not secured or subject to interest.

 

On May 11, 2005, the Company completed its rights offering. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the rights offerings, the Company issued 121,739,525 shares of its common stock. The Company received approximately $3.7 million in new capital from the rights offering, which consisted of approximately $2.2 million of cash proceeds and approximately $1.5 million of then current debt obligations and accrued liabilities being converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the rights offering. $1,000,000 of the proceeds of the rights offering was used in partial payment of indebtedness under the Company’s line of credit to Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services pursuant to an amended forbearance agreement. Additionally, the following obligations were satisfied by the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of payment of the subscription price (at the equivalent issue price of $0.03 per share): (i) $1.0 million of indebtedness to the brother of the Company’s president and chief executive office; (ii) approximately $150,000 of accrued salary to the Company’s president and chief executive officer; (iii) $73,000 of accrued consulting fees owed to the Company’s chairman of the board pursuant to a consulting agreement; and (iv) the obligation to pay approximately $200,000 from principal amount of indebtedness to a third party was transferred to the Company’s chairman. The chairman was the guarantor of such note.

1. Management’s Representations

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by Dreams, Inc. (the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the standards of accounting measurements set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28 and reflect, in management’s opinion, all adjustments, which are of normal recurring nature, necessary to summarize fairly the financial position and results of operations for such periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for future quarters or the full fiscal year.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2005, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share purposes and diluted earnings per share purposes was 123,253,044. Stock options to purchase up to 3,936,559 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price ranging from $0.15 to $0.25 per share were not considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended June 30, 2005, due to their anti-dilutive effects.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2004, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share purposes and diluted earnings per share purposes was 56,363,195. Stock options to purchase up to 4,150,250 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price ranging from $0.15 to $0.25 per share were not considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended June 30, 2004, due to their anti-dilutive effects.

 

Stock Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” The Company’s issuance of employee stock options is accounted for using the intrinsic value method under APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The Company provides disclosure of certain pro forma information as if the fair value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense.

 

In accordance with the requirements of SFAS 123, the fair value of each employee option grant was estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, no dividend yield; expected volatility of 60% in fiscal 2005 and 130% in fiscal 2004, risk-free interest rates of 2% and expected holding periods of three years.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees using the intrinsic value method. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued to employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the options. The Company’s net earnings and earnings per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below had compensation cost for the stock option plans and non-qualified options issued to employees been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS 123:

7. Related Party Transactions

7. Related Party Transactions (Continued)

 

In April 2002, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a corporation wholly-owned by Mr. Battistone. The term of the agreement was through March 31, 2007. The Company agreed to pay the consultant $145 for the first year, $160 in each of years two, three and four and $175 in year five. The Company is responsible for all expenses incurred by the consultant in performance of his duties. The consultant agreed to provide consulting services using his business contacts. Mr. Battistone agreed to continue as chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. On February 1, 2005, the Company and Mr. Battistone agreed to terminate this agreement.

 

In August 2004, the Company obtained a convertible loan to borrow up to $1.0 million due January 15, 2005 from the brother of the Company’s president and chief executive officer. The initial advance of $700 as of September 30, 2004, was used for working capital purposes. As of November 22, 2004 the remaining $300 has been funded and used for working capital purposes as well. In consideration for such loan, the Company has agreed to pay such third party interest at the rate of 12% per annum and granted five year options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. In an event of a default under the loan, the loan is convertible into our common stock at $0.05 per share. On January 25, 2005, the Company extended the maturity date of the note to April 29, 2005 and modified the convertibility feature to provide for conversion of the note, only upon an event of default, at the lower of (i) the average closing sales price for a share of our common stock for the three trading days immediately prior to conversion or (ii) in the event we sell or issue common stock or other convertible securities after December 31, 2004, at the lowest issue or conversion price per share of such securities, as applicable. Also, the five year options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share were canceled effective January 15, 2005. On May 31, 2005 the Company’s president agreed to assume the Company’s obligations under the loan. In consideration for such transaction the Company’s president received 33,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

To provide the Company with additional working capital, nine of our senior employees, including the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer, agreed to defer all but $1 of their monthly salary effective August 1, 2004. In consideration for such deferral, each employee received options to purchase that number of shares of our common stock equal to the dollar amount deferred. The five year options are exercisable at $0.25 per share. In addition, upon payment of such accrued amounts, each employee received a 5% deferral bonus. The deferrals ceased and accrued amounts were paid on November 19, 2004 for each of the Company’s senior employees other than our president and chief executive officer and our chairman, which continued in effect until February 2005 for our chairman and June 3, 2005 for our president and chief executive officer. As of March 31, 2005, stock options to purchase up to 486,559 shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. These options are exercisable immediately. The Company accrued $285 of salaries and deferral bonuses for these two executives ($212 of the aggregate accrued salary to the Company’s president and chief executive officer and $73 of the consulting fees to the Company’s chairman of the board). In May 2005, all of the chairman of the board’s accrued consulting fees were satisfied with issuance of an aggregate of 2,433,333 shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of salary and $149 of the accrued amount to the Company’s president was satisfied with the issuance of 4,939,000 shares of common stock. The Company currently owes its president the remaining balance of $63.

 

In August 2004, the Company agreed to amend the Company’s former chief financial officer’s stock option agreement to reduce the number of options to 250,000 from 500,000. This amendment was agreed to in lieu of canceling the options upon termination of employment, as our former chief financial officer has agreed to provide future consulting services if necessary. These options have an expiration period of three years and are exercisable immediately. This amendment, as well as the chief financial officer’s change in status, resulted in our recording additional compensation expense of $23 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2004. The amount of the compensation expense was based on a fair market value of $0.09 per share as determined by an independent third party valuation firm. Our former chief financial officer did not receive any consideration for reducing his number of options.

7. Related Party Transactions (Continued)

 

On January 12, 2005, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Pro Stars, Inc., a corporation in which our chairman of the board is an executive officer. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will receive a 10% licensing fee on the revenues generated from our 365 live marketing concept which we licensed to Pro Stars, Inc. The licensing fees for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $69 and are reflected in revenue for that period.

 

In order to fund the substitute collateral in connection with the appeal of the Unitas Management litigation matter on February 16, 2005, the Company issued unsecured subordinated convertible promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $446. These notes included notes issued to our president and chief executive officer, his brother-in-law and his father-in-law in the amounts of $121, $125, and $100, respectively, and notes to two other shareholders, each in the amount of $50. These notes accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum and are due on (i) December 31, 2005, if the bond is either released or drawn upon prior to December 31, 2005, (ii) the date that is 10 business days after the bond is released, if the bond is released on or after December 31, 2005, or (iii) the date that is 45 business days after the bond is drawn upon if the bond is drawn upon on or after December 31, 2005. These notes provide for a 10% origination fee to be paid no later than the earlier to occur of the maturity date and December 31, 2005. These notes are convertible at any time at the lower of (i) the average closing sales price for a share of our common stock for the three trading days immediately prior to conversion or (ii) in the event we sell or issue common tock or other convertible securities after February 16, 2005, at the lowest issue or conversion price per share of such securities, as applicable. In June 2005 the note payable to the Company’s president was repaid. The remaining $325 of notes was converted as of May 31, 2005 into an aggregate of 10,833,333 shares of common stock.

 

On May 31, 2005, the Company’s chairman agreed to assume the Company’s obligations under a note payable to an individual, which bears interests at 12% per annum and $199 of principal amount is due on December 1, 2007. The note was unsecured and previously guaranteed by the Company’s chairman. In exchange, the obligation to pay the principal amount of indebtedness to the third party, the Company chairman received 6,633,333 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

8. Legal Proceedings

 

The Company was a defendant in an action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland in an action brought by Unitas Management, Inc. (“Unitas”). Unitas brought a claim against the Company for damages of up to $419, based upon an alleged breach of contract. On January 10, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court granted Unitas a summary judgment and awarded Unitas a judgment for approximately $435. The Company appealed the judgment and on May 4, 2005, The United States District Court for the District of Maryland overturned the decision of the Bankruptcy Court and directed judgment in favor of the Company. On June 24, 2005, Unitas appealed the District Court decision to the United States District Court of Appeals. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has no accrual for this matter as the Company believes that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is not probable.

 

The Company is also subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, in excess of applicable insurance coverage, is not likely to have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. However, as the outcome of litigation or other legal claims is difficult to predict, significant changes in the estimated exposures could occur, which could have a material impact on the Company’s operations.

9. Commitments

 

The Company has certain contracts with several athletes which will require the Company to make minimum payments to these athletes over the next three years. The payments are in exchange for autographs and licensing rights on inventory items to be received in the future.

 

10. Acquisition

 

On April 1, 2004, the Company acquired certain assets of ProSports Memorabilia, Inc. (“ProSports”), in order to further support our e-commerce initiative, for an aggregate purchase price of $683. $100 was paid at closing and the remaining $650 shall be paid over a three year period, ending in March 2007. The present value of the remaining payments as of June 30, 2005 is $400 based on a discount rate which the Company determined to be market rate for similar types of loans. The payments are not pursuant to a note payable, not secured or subject to interest. The Company paid an additional $212 after closing leaving an amount due of $398 as of June 30, 2005. This remaining amount will be repaid through monthly payments of $21 each beginning in April 2005 through March 2007.

 

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition:

 

Purchase price

   $ 683  

Current assets, net

     30  

Intangible assets

     (653 )
    


Liabilities

   $ —    

 

Primarily all of the $653 of acquired intangible assets represents indefinite lived intellectual property. The remaining amount represents intangible assets such as customer lists which have been assigned useful lives of three years.

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with SFAS 141 and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated based on the estimated fair market value of the assets and liabilities acquired. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair market value of the assets and liabilities acquired amounted to $653 and was primarily allocated to certain identifiable intangible assets which have indefinite useful lives.

 

11. New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In the fourth quarter of 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), or SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which replaces Statement No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123R eliminates the alternative to use APB Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement No. 123 as originally issued. After a phase-in period for Statement No. 123R, pro form disclosure will no longer be allowed. In the first quarter of 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 which provided further clarification on the implementation of SFAS No. 123R.

 

The SEC announced in the second quarter of 2005 that it would extend this phase-in period and, therefore, the Company’s effective date for implementation of SFAS 123R is April 1, 2006. The Company does not believe that any of the alternative phase-in methods would have a materially different effect on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations or balance sheet.

11. New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such statements are indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “projects,” “management believes,” “Dreams believes,” “intends,” “expects,” and similar words or phrases. Such factors include, among others, the following: competition; seasonality; success of operating initiatives; new product development and introduction schedules; acceptance of new product offerings; franchise sales; advertising and promotional efforts; adverse publicity; expansion of the franchise chain; availability, locations and terms of sites for franchise development; changes in business strategy or development plans; availability and terms of capital; labor and employee benefit costs; changes in government regulations; our ability to successfully operate retail stores, and other factors particular to the Company.

 

Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements of Dreams may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Dreams or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this paragraph. Dreams disclaims any obligation to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.

 

GENERAL

 

As used in this Form 10-QSB “we”, “our”, “us” and “Dreams” refer to Dreams, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise. Dreams, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Utah Corporation which was formed in April 1980. We are engaged in multiple aspects of the sports entertainment and memorabilia industry through a variety of distribution channels.

 

We generate revenues from:

 

    our retail segment which includes our Company owned stores and our e-commerce component;

 

    our manufacturing/distribution segment, through manufacturing and wholesaling of sports memorabilia products, custom artwork and other items;

 

    our franchise segment through our 18 Field of Dreams® franchise stores presently owned and operated; and

 

    our representation and corporate marketing of individual athletes, including personal appearances, endorsement and marketing opportunities.

 

In fiscal 2002 we adopted a plan to focus on expansion into retail stores. The decision to implement this plan was based upon a number of factors including management’s experience in this area, knowledge of the sports memorabilia retail marketplace and prior experiences as a franchisor and as a wholesaler in the sports memorabilia market. We believe that there existed significant synergies between our existing operations and the retail stores which would allow us to achieve efficiencies in our operating expenses and provide for an overall improvement of our operating results.

 

We also began a strategic acquisition program for the expansion of our e-commerce component. These acquisitions include Fansedge.com in October of 2003 and ProSports Memorabilia.com in April of 2004. These acquisitions present both significant challenges and opportunities for us. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to integrate operations with these companies, manage the growth associated with these entities, and continue to improve the platforms presented by these opportunities.

Table of Contents

Historically, the third quarter of our fiscal year (October to December) has accounted for a greater proportion of our operating income than have each of the other three quarters of our fiscal year. This is primarily due to increased activities as a result of the holiday season. We expect that we will continue to experience quarterly variations and operating results principally as a result of the seasonal nature of our industry. Other factors also make for a significant fluctuation of our quarterly results, including the timing of special events, the amount and timing of new sales contributed by new stores, the timing of personal appearances by particular athletes and general economic conditions. Additional factors may cause fluctuations and expenses, including the costs associated with the opening of new stores, the integration of acquired businesses and stores into our operations and corporate expenses to support our expansion and growth strategy.

 

We continue to need available capital to grow our business and to meet our inventory purchase obligations and address our revenue fluctuations.

 

We set ourselves apart from other companies with our diversified product and services line, as well as our relationships with sports leagues, agents and athletes.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004

 

Revenues. Total revenues increased 18% to $6.053 million in the first three months of fiscal 2006 from $5.122 million in the same period last year due primarily to an increase in retail revenues, particularly retail revenues generated through e-commerce (approximately $729 increase). During October 2003 the Company acquired FansEdge, which generated retail revenues for the Company through FansEdge.com and the Company acquired ProSports Memorabilia in April 2004, which generated retail revenues through ProSportsmemorabilia.com.

 

Manufacturing and distribution revenues decreased from $2.988 million in the first three months of fiscal 2005 to $2.862 million in the first three months of fiscal 2006. Net revenues (after eliminating intercompany sales) increased to $2.402 million in the fiscal 2006 period from $2.375 million in the same period last year. The slight increase primarily is the result of the introduction of an expanded product line relating to NASCAR products which were developed throughout fiscal 2004.

 

Retail operations revenues increased significantly from $2.461 million in the first three months of fiscal 2005 to $3.223 million in the same period this year. Our internet retail division, which is primarily comprised of two websites (Fansedge.com and ProSportsmemorabilia.com), began operations in October 2003 concurrent with the Company’s acquisition of FansEdge. The internet division had retail sales of $2.156 million during the three months of fiscal 2006 versus $1.429 million during the same period in fiscal 2005. Additionally, retail sales through our company-owned Field of Dreams stores increased from $1.031 million in the first three months of fiscal 2005 to $1.067 million in the same period this year. As of June 30, 2005 we owned and operated 13 company-owned Field of Dreams stores (two stores were closed in late December 2004 as the result of expired leases).

 

The Company realized $97,000 in net management fee revenues in the three months ending June 30, 2004 versus $208,000 in the same period this year.

 

Costs and expenses. Total cost of sales for the first three months of fiscal 2006 was $3.206 million versus $2.795 million in the same period in fiscal 2005, a 13% increase. The increase relates to an increase in Company sales. As a percentage of total sales, cost of sales was 53% for the three months of fiscal 2006 versus 54% for the same period a year ago.

 

Operating expenses increased from $2.866 million in the first three months of fiscal 2005 to $2.969 million in the same period this fiscal year. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses were 56% for the first three months of fiscal 2005 and 49% this year. The Company had previously built infrastructure to support future growth. Hence, upon achieving incremental sales, our operating costs will continue to decrease as a percentage of sales.

 

Interest expense, net. Net interest expense increased from $57,000 in the first three months of fiscal 2005 to $154,000 this year due to higher levels of borrowing including the line of credit, note payable to a related party through May 2005 and amortization of the deferred loan costs relating to the related party loan.

Provision for income taxes. Each quarter, the Company evaluates whether the realizability of its net deferred tax assets is more likely than not. Should the Company determine that a valuation reserve is necessary, it would have a material impact on the Company’s operations. The Company has prepared an analysis based upon historical data and forecasted earnings projections to determine its ability to realize its net deferred tax asset. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realized. Therefore, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance is not necessary as of June 30, 2005 and 2004. The effective tax rate for both periods was 40%.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The balance sheet as of June 30, 2005 reflects working capital of $8.643 million versus working capital of $3.206 one year earlier. The increase is due to the refinancing of the credit facility by LaSalle Bank in June 2005, as well as the equity rights offering in May 2005.

 

At June 30, 2005, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $491, compared to $704 at June 30, 2004. Net accounts receivable at June 30, 2005 were $1.498 million compared to $1.222 million at June 30, 2004.

 

Cash used in operations amounted to $501 for the first three months of 2006, compared to $534 used in operations in the same period in fiscal 2005. Cash used in investing activities were comparable in both fiscal periods ($189 fiscal 2006 versus $197 in fiscal 2005).

 

On May 11, 2005, the Company completed its rights offering. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the rights offerings, the Company issued 121,739,525 shares of its common stock. The Company received approximately $3.7 million in new capital from the rights offering, which consisted of approximately $2.2 million of cash proceeds and approximately $1.5 million of then current debt obligations and accrued liabilities being converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the rights offering.

 

$1,000,000 of the proceeds of the rights offering was used in partial payment of indebtedness under the Company’s line of credit to Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services pursuant to an amended forbearance agreement. Additionally, the following obligations were satisfied by the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of payment of the subscription price (at the equivalent issue price of $0.03 per share): (i) $1.0 million of indebtedness to the brother of the Company’s president and chief executive office; (ii) approximately $150,000 of accrued salary to the Company’s president and chief executive officer; (iii) $73,000 of accrued consulting fees owed to the Company’s chairman of the board pursuant to a consulting agreement; and (iv) the obligation to pay approximately $200,000 from principal amount of indebtedness to a third party was transferred to the Company’s chairman. The chairman was the guarantor of such note.

 

On June 3, 2005, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a loan and security agreement and related loan documents with LaSalle Business Credit LLC as an agent for Standard Federal Bank National Association acting through its division of LaSalle Retail Finance providing for a three year revolving credit line up to $10.0 million. The LaSalle line of credit replaces the Company’s previous line of credit with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services. The line of credit is collateralized by all of the Company’s assets and a pledge of stock of the Company’s subsidiaries and an affiliate. Under the line of credit, a portion of the proceeds of the borrowings of the line of credit have been used to pay off the balances of its prior lender. The initial loan on the LaSalle line of credit bears interest at prime. As of June 30, 2005, the prime rate was 6.25%. The Loan Security Agreement also requires that certain financial performance covenants be met. These covenants included minimum cumulative EBITDA, minimum tangible net worth and maximum capital expenditures.

 

The $10.0 million line of credit facility includes borrowing capacity limits based on the eligibility criteria of inventories and account receivables. As of June 30, 2005, inventory eligibility was 52%, while accounts receivable was 75%. This resulted in total line availability of $5.5 million at June 30, 2005 and $5.8 million at August 30, 2005. Of these amounts for both June 30 and August 30, 2005, the excess availability was $700,000.

 

We are currently analyzing our company-owned retail store business model and looking at the profitability of each store. We expanded this new model very rapidly. Our first two company-owned stores opened in March 2002 and grew to 15 stores by June 2004. As of June 30, 2005, we owned and operated 13 stores. The leases for

 

15


Table of Contents

two under-performing stores expired in late December 2004 and we elected to not renew those leases. We are currently exploring the options available with respect to other underperforming locations. This may include additional future closings and/or conversion to franchise stores.

 

We are continuing to review our operational expenses and examining ways to reduce costs on a going-forward basis. In addition, our stock has historically been, and continues to be, relatively thinly traded, providing little liquidity for our shareholders. Accordingly, we believe that we may have been unable to realize the principal benefits of a public ownership. Additionally, we will be required in fiscal 2007 to comply with the new annual internal control certification pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related SEC rules. We expect that these and other compliance costs of a public company will increase significantly. As a result of the foregoing, we have, from time-to-time considered, and expect from time-to-time to continue to consider strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, including terminating our status as a public company, going private and delisting our common stock.

 

We have not created and are not a party to any special purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business. However, we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, our anticipated revenue growth and operating improvements may not be realized and future borrowings may not be available in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. Except as described herein, our management is not aware of any known trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties, as they relate to liquidity which could negative affect our ability to operating and grow as planned, other than those previously disclosed.

 

Item 3. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13A-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management has concluded that except as provided below, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective for timely gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information we are required to disclose in the reports filed in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In connection with its audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for and as of the year end, ended March 31, 2005, Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, advised management of certain internal control deficiencies that they considered to be, in the aggregate, a material weakness, including, untimely identification and resolution of certain accounting matters; failure to perform timely review of accounting information by individuals with appropriate levels of experience, and inability to prepare accounting support including reconciliations of certain accounts. Grant Thornton indicated that they considered these deficiencies to be a material weakness as that term is defined under standards established by the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A material weakness is a significant deficiency in one or more of the internal control components that alone or in the aggregate precludes internal control from reducing to an appropriate low level the risk that material misstatements in our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The Company is continuing to investigate the underlying causes of these material weaknesses and will consider the implementation of the following corrective actions: (I) Retention of additional personnel to respond to the financial reporting and control complexities associated with the Company’s expanding operations; and (2) Developing and implementing additional control procedures over the review processes and other procedures including the initiation and review of adjusting journal entries as well as the income tax provision.

 

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. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the benefits of controls 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. The design of any system of controls 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, regardless of how remote. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Controls. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls during the period covered by this report.

Part II. Other Information

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

The Company was a defendant in an action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland in an action brought by Unitas Management, Inc. (“Unitas”). Unitas brought a claim against the Company for damages of up to $419, based upon an alleged breach of contract. On January 10, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court granted Unitas a summary judgment and awarded Unitas a judgment for approximately $435. The Company appealed the judgment and on May 4, 2005, The United States District Court for the District of Maryland overturned the decision of the Bankruptcy Court and directed judgment in favor of the Company. On June 24, 2005, Unitas appealed the District Court decision to the United States District Court of Appeals. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has no accrual for this matter as the Company believes that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is not probable.

 

The Company is also subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, in excess of applicable insurance coverage, is not likely to have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. However, as the outcome of litigation or other legal claims is difficult to predict, significant changes in the estimated exposures could occur, which could have a material impact on the Company’s operations.
