5 BROOKSTONE, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. The results of the thirteen-week period ended May 1, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The Company's business, like the business of retailers in general, is subject to seasonal influences. Historically, the Company's fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the winter holiday selling season, has produced a disproportionate amount of the Company's net sales and all of its income from operations. The Company expects that its business will continue to be subject to such seasonal influences. 2. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices consistently applied. In the opinion of the Company, these financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the periods reported. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that the accompanying consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto which may be found in the Company's Fiscal 1998 annual report. 3. The exercise of stock options which has been granted under the Company's stock option plans gives rise to compensation which is includable in the taxable income of the optionees and deductible by the Company for tax purposes upon exercise. Such compensation reflects an increase in the fair market value of the Company's common stock subsequent to the date of grant. For financial reporting purposes, the tax effect of this deduction is accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital rather than as a reduction of income tax expense. Such exercises resulted in a tax benefit to the Company of approximately $124,000 for the thirteen-week period ended May 1, 1999. 4. Business conducted by the Company can be segmented into two distinct areas determined by the method of distribution channel. The retail segment is comprised of all full-year stores in addition to all temporary stores and kiosks. Retail product distribution is conducted directly through the store location. The direct marketing segment is comprised of the Hard-to-Find Tools, Brookstone Gift Collection and Gardeners Eden catalog, products promoted via SkyMall and the interactive Internet site www.Brookstone.com. ------------------ Direct marketing product distribution is conducted through the Company's direct marketing call center and distribution facility located in Mexico, Missouri. Both segments of the Company sell similar products, although not all Company products are fully available within both segments. 6 All costs directly attributable to the direct marketing segment are charged accordingly while all remaining operating costs are charged to the retail segment. The Company's management does not review assets by segment. The table below discloses segment net sales and pre-tax loss for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 1999 and May 2, 1998 (in thousands).

5. Effective May 3, 1999 the Company acquired certain assets relating to the Gardeners Eden catalog from Williams-Sonoma, Inc. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price will be allocated to the underlying assets based on their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. 7 BROOKSTONE, INC. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Thirteen-Week Period Ended May 1, 1999 Results of Operations - --------------------- For the thirteen-week period ended May 1, 1999, net sales increased 11.0% over the comparable period last year. Comparable store sales for the thirteen- week period increased 0.5%. The sales increase reflected the results of opening 21 new stores subsequent to the first quarter of Fiscal 1998 and two new stores during the first quarter of Fiscal 1999, offset by the closing of three stores subsequent to the first quarter of Fiscal 1998. The total number of Brookstone stores open at the end of the thirteen-week period ended May 1, 1999 was 198 versus 178 at the end of the comparable period in Fiscal 1998. In Fiscal 1998, the Company operated a total of 19 summer seasonal locations at the end of the first quarter. This program is not being repeated in Fiscal 1999. Direct marketing sales increased 24.4% over the comparable period last year. This increase was driven primarily by increased circulation of approximately 19%. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 24.4% for the thirteen-week period ended May 1, 1999, versus 23.4% for the comparable period last year. This increase was attributable to a decrease in net material costs resulting from lower sourcing costs. In addition, occupancy costs decreased as a result of the elimination of the summer seasonal program operated during the first quarter of Fiscal 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 41.9% for the thirteen-week period ended May 1, 1999 versus 42.1% for the comparable period last year. This decrease in percentage was primarily due to the continued leveraging of operating expenses. Net interest expense for the thirteen-week period ended May 1, 1999 was $0.1 million compared to $0.2 million during the comparable period last year. This decrease was related to lower borrowings resulting from lower working capital needs. As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.57 per basic/diluted share, for the thirteen-week period ended May 1, 1999, as compared to a net loss of $4.4 million, or $0.56 per basic/diluted share, for the comparable period last year. Financial Condition - ------------------- For the first quarter of Fiscal 1999, net cash used by operating activities totaled $15.6 million, primarily as a result of the net loss, purchase of inventory and payment of income taxes. Cash used for investment activities during the first quarter of Fiscal 1999, representing the purchase of property and equipment, amounted to $0.6 million. Cash from financing activities during the first quarter of Fiscal 1999 amounted to $0.6 million, acquired primarily through proceeds from the exercise of stock options and related tax benefits. For the first quarter of Fiscal 1998, net cash used by operating activities totaled $21.5 million, primarily as a result of the net loss, purchase of inventory and payment of income taxes. Cash used for investment activities during the first quarter of Fiscal 1998, representing the purchase of property and equipment, amounted to $0.9 million. Cash from financing activities during the first quarter of Fiscal 1998 amounted to $7.7 million, acquired primarily through borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement. Merchandise inventories were $43.4 million at May 1, 1999 compared to $37.4 million at January 30, 1999. The increase in inventory is primarily to support the new stores opened or scheduled to open during Fiscal 1999 and reflects the timing of inventory purchases for the upcoming Father's Day holiday. The accounts payable balance was $14.7 million at May 1, 1999 compared to $10.7 million at January 30, 1999. 8 The Company's capital expenditures in the first quarter of Fiscal 1999 were principally related to the remodeling of two retail stores and the opening of two new stores during the first quarter of Fiscal 1999. The Company anticipates opening approximately 15 to 20 new stores, including as many as five airport locations, and remodeling approximately 10 stores during Fiscal 1999. The Company maintains a revolving credit agreement to finance inventory purchases, which historically peak in the third quarter in anticipation of the winter holiday selling season. At May 1, 1999, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit agreement, and at May 2, 1998 it had $7.4 million in borrowings. Effective May 3, 1999 the Company acquired certain assets relating to the Gardeners Eden catalog from Williams-Sonoma, Inc. The Company believes that available borrowings, cash on hand and anticipated cash generated from operations will be sufficient to finance this acquisition, planned retail store openings / remodelings and other capital requirements throughout Fiscal 1999. Year 2000 Software Compliance - ----------------------------- Many computer programs in use today were originally written using two-digit fields to identify years instead of four digits to define century and year. These programs were written without considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century and may experience difficulty in handling dates beyond December 31, 1999. This phenomenon, sometimes referred to as "the year 2000 problem" or "the Y2K problem", could cause computer software to fail or create erroneous results unless corrective or alternative measures are instituted. The Company relies on software for the efficient operation of many of its important functions, including inventory purchasing, shipping and receiving, logistics, inventory forecasting and replenishment, payroll and human resource record-keeping, direct marketing operations, point-of-purchase transaction recording and financial reporting. Nearly all of the software relied upon in the Company's operations is purchased from outside sources (who, in some instances, modify or customize pre-packaged software to fit the Company's needs). In addition, the Company has entered into maintenance contracts from such vendors to ensure that such programs will remain operable or will be upgraded at marginal incremental cost to the Company in the event that such a program is not functioning optimally. Since 1996, the Company has been working with its outside software vendors to (i) assess the Y2K readiness of their products, (ii) implement changes and upgrades necessary to eliminate the risk of Y2K problems and (iii) test the Company's systems and components to ensure proper functionality. The Company will implement upgrades of the employee timekeeping, merchandise analysis, call scheduling and sales tax software in 1999 and will also complete the installation of its point-of-purchase year 2000 compliant system which is now being rolled out chain-wide after being successfully tested in five stores. With the exception of the software mentioned in the previous two sentences, each of the software products involved in the Company's significant operations has been represented to be year 2000 compliant, or has been upgraded to versions that have been represented to be year 2000 compliant, by their respective vendors. In addition, the Company has received representations from its primary bank and its credit card processors that the software programs they operate to facilitate services provided to the Company are, or are in the process of becoming, year 2000 compliant. The total incremental cost to the Company for the software and hardware upgrades described in this paragraph is expected to be approximately $300,000. Because the Y2K problem is often concealed, the Company believes that the evaluation of its systems and the assessment of their readiness must be a continuous process. During the first half of Fiscal 1999, the Company will continue to test and evaluate its systems for year 2000 compliance. 9 There can be no assurance that the Company's operating results would not be adversely affected if any of its largest vendors were unable to fill the Company's orders. The Company has received written statements from each of its largest vendors which represent that each such vendor has addressed, or is in the process of addressing, the year 2000 issue such that manufacturing and shipping activities will not be disrupted by the Y2K problem. The Company's merchandising team is also considering other sources for similar products in the event that such vendors are unable to meet the Company's needs. Because the products sold by the Company are oftentimes unique in the marketplace, however, there can be no assurance that adequate substitute products will be available. See "Outlook: Important Factors and Uncertainties -- Dependence on Innovative Merchandising" on pages 21 - 23 of the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10- K. The Company currently uses neither electronic data interchange ("EDI") technology, nor advance shipping notification ("ASN") technology with its vendors. The Company believes that it has established appropriate measures to minimize the risk of disruption to its business as it approaches the year 2000. This belief is a forward-looking statement and is premised, in part, on representations provided to the Company by third-party sources and vendors, the accuracy of which is in many cases difficult or impossible for the Company to validate. If any such representation relating to a software product relied upon for a significant business function, or a representation from a significant vendor, ultimately proves inaccurate, the Company could incur material remediation expenses and/or lost sales. In addition, like most other retailers, the Company could be materially adversely affected by disruption in the externally controlled distribution channel (including ports, United States Customs and transportation vendors), the banking and credit systems and electric and other utility suppliers. 10 PART II Other Information Item 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ----------------- The Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
