AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 2, 2002 AND MARCH 3, 2001 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 and six months ended March 2, 2002 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:

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 Six Months Ended ------------------ ---------------- March 2, March 3, March 2, March 1, 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of merchandise sold and occupancy costs 66.0 65.1 64.0 63.4 ------- ------- -------- -------- Gross profit 34.0 34.9 36.0 36.6 Store expenses 23.3 24.4 23.0 23.5 General and administrative expenses 10.0 10.5 9.0 9.4 ------- ------- -------- -------- Income from operations 0.7 - 4.0 3.7 ------- ------- -------- -------- Net income 0.4% 0.2% 2.5% 2.4% ======= ======= ======== ========
Revenue is recognized when merchandise is sold to customers. The Company's net sales increased $3,171,000 and $5,675,000 for the three and six months ended March 2, 2002, representing a 12.3% and 10.2% increase, respectively, over the comparable prior periods. Of the $3,171,000 increase in net sales for the three months ended March 2, 2002, $1,775,000 was due to a 7.2% increase in comparable store sales over the prior comparable period principally the result of an acceleration of holiday seasonal merchandise sales. The $1,396,000 balance of the increase represents sales related to new store openings, net of sales reductions from closed stores. The increase in net sales for the six months ended March 2, 2002 was attributable to a $2,072,000, or 3.9%, increase in comparable store sales, plus new store sales, net of sales reductions from closed stores, of $3,603,000. Gross profit, as a percent of net sales, decreased by 0.9% and 0.6% for the three and six months ended March 2, 2002, respectively, as compared to the prior comparable periods. These changes were due principally to increases in clearance markdowns and secondarily to freight costs. Higher markdowns were incurred in connection with management's decision to increase materially the extent of its seasonal clearance program and thereby reduce the amount of holiday seasonal inventory at the end of the period. The increase in freight is the result of an increase in purchases. Store expenses for the three and six months ended March 2, 2002 increased $475,000 and $1,015,000, respectively, from the comparable prior periods. Additional payroll and payroll related expenses were the primary cause of the increase and additional advertising expense was secondary. Payroll and related expenses rose in support of larger stores and higher sales, the latter augmented by growth in advertising frequency and penetration, which resulted in the higher advertising expense. As a percent of net sales, store expenses decreased 1.1% and 0.5% for the three and six months ended March 2, 2002, respectively, because of the Company's ability to continue to leverage these expenses against the increase in net sales. Page 8 of 11 RAG SHOPS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES General and administrative expenses increased $182,000 and $289,000, and, as a percentage of net sales, declined 0.5% and 0.4% versus the prior comparable periods for the three and six months ended March 2, 2002, respectively. The increases for both reporting periods are primarily due to additional payroll and related expenses incurred predominantly in connection with key executive and management positions that were vacant in the prior comparable periods. The reductions in general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales are principally the result of the ability of the Company to also continue to leverage these expenses against increases in net sales. Interest income, net decreased $44,000 and $59,000 from the prior comparable periods for the three and six months ended March 2, 2002, respectively, due to the continued fall in interest rates on short-term investments in the current fiscal year-to-date periods compared to relative interest rate stability during the prior comparable periods. The diminution in interest rates was partially offset by an increase in average investment levels during the quarter ended March 2, 2002, as compared to the prior comparable quarter. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources". Net income increased $85,000 and $193,000 for the three and six months ended March 2, 2002, as compared to the prior comparable periods, due to the increases in net sales, partially offset by increases in operating expenses, and decreases in interest income, net. Seasonality The Company's business is seasonal, which the Company believes is typical of the retail fabric and craft 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 six months ended March 2, 2002, 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 $1,972,000 for the six months ended March 2, 2002 as compared to the September 1, 2001 amount primarily because the Company reduced its inventory and 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. The credit facility was renewed in January 2002 for the year 2002. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the bank's prime rate (4.75% at March 2, 2002). The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a compensating balance of $400,000 in addition Page 9 of 11 RAG SHOPS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 six month periods ended March 2, 2002 and March 3, 2001. 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. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended March 2, 2002 amounted to $5,235,000, and $224,000 was used for purchases of property and equipment. Net cash from operating activities increased primarily due to net income of $1,519,000, depreciation of $655,000, and decreases in merchandise inventories of $1,927,000 and prepaid expenses of $734,000. During the six months ended March 2, 2002 the Company opened one store, closed one store and was operating sixty-six stores at the end of the period. During the remainder of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2002, the Company anticipates opening three additional new stores and closing one store.
