See notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements Page 5 of 11 RAG SHOPS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 1, 2001 AND DECEMBER 2, 2000 NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Since the Company's business is seasonal, the operating results for the three months ended December 1, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results for other quarters or the fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 1, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 2001. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the presentation for the current year. NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
Three Months Ended ------------------ December 1, December 2, 2001 2000 ---- ---- Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share: Net income $ 1,390,000 $ 1,282,000 ============= ============= Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share-weighted average shares 4,799,183 4,801,583 Effect of dilutive securities: Employee stock options 1,590 3,509 ------------- ------------- Denominator for diluted earnings per share-adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions 4,800,773 4,805,092 ============= ============= Basic and diluted earnings per share $ .29 $ .27 ============= =============
Stock options excluded from the above calculation, as the effect of such options would be anti-dilutive, aggregated 76,250 for the three months ended December 1, 2001 and 166,300 for the three months ended December 2, 2000. Page 6 of 11 NOTE 3 - MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES Merchandise inventories (which are all finished goods) are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market as determined by the retail inventory method. Page 7 of 11 RAG SHOPS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations The following table sets forth, as a percentage of net sales, certain items appearing in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the indicated periods. Three Months Ended ------------------ December 1, December 2, 2001 2000 ---- ---- Net sales 100.0% 100.0% Cost of merchandise sold and occupancy costs 62.3 61.9 ---------- ---------- Gross profit 37.7 38.1 Store expenses 22.6 22.7 General and administrative expenses 8.1 8.5 ---------- ---------- Income from operations 7.0 6.9 ---------- ---------- Net income 4.3% 4.3% ========== ========== The Company's net sales increased $2,504,000 or 8.3% for the three months ended December 1, 2001 compared to the three months ended December 2, 2000. Of this increase, $2,207,000 was due to sales related to new larger store openings, net of sales reductions from closed smaller stores, and the balance represents an increase in comparable store sales of $297,000 or 1% over the prior comparable period. Gross profit decreased 0.4% as a percentage of net sales for the current quarter compared to the prior comparable period due primarily to an increase in occupancy expenses because of higher square footage and rent costs of new stores as compared to closed stores as well as contractual increases in rent for existing stores and, secondarily, due to changes in the cost of merchandise. Merchandise cost in the three months ended December 1, 2001 was effected by a shift in the weighting of purchases toward domestic merchandise that carries a higher cost than import merchandise. Store expenses increased $541,000 for the three months ended December 1, 2001 and, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 0.1% compared to the three months ended December 2, 2000. Additional payroll and payroll related expense in support of higher sales and larger stores was the primary cause of the increase. The decrease in store expenses as a percentage of net sales was principally due to the ability of the Company to leverage expenses against the increase in net sales. For the three months ended December 1, 2001, general and administrative expenses increased $107,000 and, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 0.4% compared to the prior comparable period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher payroll and payroll related expenses while the decline as a percentage of net sales was principally a result of the ability to also leverage general and administrative expenses against the increase in net sales. Page 8 of 11 RAG SHOPS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Interest income, net decreased $15,000 due to the continued decline in interest rates on short-term investments during the quarter ended December 1, 2001 compared to relative interest rate stability during the prior comparable quarter. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources". Net income increased $124,000 or 9.7% for the three months ended December 1, 2001 compared to the three months ended December 2, 2000 as a result of the increase in net sales, partially offset by increases in store and general and administrative expenses, and the decrease in interest income, net. Seasonality The Company's business is seasonal, which the Company believes is typical of the retail craft and fabric industry. The Company's highest sales and earnings levels traditionally occur between September and December. The Company has historically operated at a loss during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, the June through August summer period. Year to year comparisons of quarterly results and comparable store sales can be affected by a variety of factors, including the timing and duration of holiday selling seasons and the timing of new store openings and promotional markdowns. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's primary needs for liquidity are to maintain inventory for the Company's existing stores and to fund the costs of opening new stores, including capital improvements, initial inventory and pre-opening expenses. During the three months ended December 1, 2001, the Company relied on internally generated funds and credit made available by suppliers to finance inventories and new store openings. The Company's working capital increased $1,532,000 for the three months ended December 1, 2001 as compared to the September 1, 2001 amount primarily because the Company retained its net income for this period. The Company maintains a $10 million credit facility with a bank. The credit facility is renewable annually on or before each December 31 and consists of a discretionary unsecured line of credit for direct borrowings and the issuance and refinance of letters of credit. At December 31, 2001 the credit line facility was extended until March 31, 2002 pending annual renewal and management expects that the credit facility will be renewed for an additional year. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the bank's prime rate (5.00% at December 1, 2001). The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a compensating balance of $400,000 in addition to certain financial covenants. Historically, the amount borrowed has varied based on the Company's seasonal requirements, generally reaching a maximum amount outstanding during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. There were no borrowings under the line during either of the three month periods ended December 1, 2001 and December 2, 2000. The Company intends to maintain the availability of a line of credit for seasonal working capital requirements and in order to be able to take advantage of future opportunities. Page 9 of 11 RAG SHOPS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended December 1, 2001 amounted to $5,551,000, and $184,000 was used for purchases of property and equipment. Net cash from operating activities increased primarily due to net income of $1,390,000 and a decrease in merchandise inventories of $2,924,000. During the three months ended December 1, 2001 the Company opened one store and was operating sixty-seven stores at the end of the period. During the remainder of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2002, the Company anticipates opening at least two additional new stores and closing two stores.
