THE LEATHER FACTORY, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly its financial position as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the three-month period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and disclosures contained in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report"). 2. INVENTORY The components of inventory consist of the following: As of ------------------------------------------------ March 31, December 31, 2000 1999 ----------------------- --------------------- Finished goods held for sale $ 7,142,818 $ 7,629,995 Raw materials and work in process 1,068,995 1,177,968 ----------------------- --------------------- $ 8,211,813 $ 8,807,963 ======================= ===================== 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 1999 ----------------- ---------------- Numerator: Net income (loss) $ 383,942 $ (92,191) Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share 383,942 (92,191) Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share - Weighted-average shares 9,859,754 9,853,161 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 101,236 - Warrants 160,216 - ---------------- ---------------- Dilutive potential common shares 261,452 - ---------------- ---------------- Denominator for diluted earnings per shares - weighted-average shares 10,121,206 9,853,161 ================ ================ Basic earnings per share $ 0.04 $ (0.01) ================ ================ Diluted earnings per share $ 0.04 $ (0.01) ================ ================
8 Unexercised stock options owned by certain employees and directors to purchase 443,000 shares of common stock as of March 31, 1999 were not included in the computations of diluted EPS because the options' exercise prices were greater than or equal to the average market price of the common stock during the period. Warrants (see note 9 to consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report) to acquire 300,000 shares of common stock were not included in the computations of diluted EPS during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock. The 13% convertible debt (see note 3 to consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report) was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share at March 31, 1999 because the interest cost (net of tax) per assumed converted share was more than basic earnings per share and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. General The Leather Factory, Inc. (the "Company") is the premier distributor of leather and leathercraft products to over 40,000 customers ranging from the individual hobbyist to large retail chains. Customer groups served include: wholesale distributors, tack and saddle shops, shoe-findings customers, institutions, prisons and prisoners, dealer stores, western stores, craft stores and craft store chains, hat manufacturers and distributors, other large volume purchasers, manufacturers, and retailers. Our products are distributed primarily through 26 sales/distribution units in the United States and Canada or through our subsidiary, Roberts, Cushman & Company, Inc. ("Cushman") in New York. Cushman manufactures and distributes a related product line of hat trims in braids, leather, and woven fabrics. We also carry a line of small finished leather goods, including cigar cases, wallets and western accessories. Results of Operations Income Statement Comparison The following table sets forth, for the interim periods indicated, certain items from the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income expressed as a percentage of net sales and the increase (decrease) in dollars and percent from 1999 to 2000: % of Net Sales Quarterly period ended March 31, Change in $ and % ---------------------------------- ------------------------------------ 2000 1999 $ Change % Change ---------------- -------------- ---------------- ---------------- Net sales 100.0% 100.0% $1,892,557 34.33% Cost of sales 51.8 57.2 680,856 21.59 ---------------- -------------- ---------------- Gross Profit 48.2 42.8 1,211,701 51.37 Operating expenses 37.5 40.6 539,873 24.12 ---------------- -------------- ---------------- Income from operations 10.7 2.2 671,828 558.12 Interest expense and other 2.4 4.2 (56,013) (24.30) ---------------- -------------- ---------------- Income (loss) before income taxes 8.3 (2.0) 727,841 660.62 Income tax provision (benefit) 3.2 (0.3) 251,708 N/A ---------------- -------------- ---------------- Net income (loss) 5.1% (1.7)% $476,133 N/A ================ ============== ================
9 Revenues The Company produced another quarter of strong sales, totaling $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2000 compared to $5.5 million for the first quarter of 1999. Four new sales units opened since April 1999 contributed sales of $370,000 in the first quarter of 2000. In addition, our Authorized Sales Center ("ASC") program generated $426,000 in current quarter sales. This program began in April 1999. Sales to our craft customers increased 58% over last year at this time, primarily due the increase in orders from several large craft customers. Our sales to the retail customer increased 66% compared to last year's first quarter totals as we continue to earn the business of former Tandycrafts customers. The only area of sales that decreased in the current quarter over the same quarter of 1999 was in our shoe care/repair market. Over the last several years, we have intentionally eliminated significant portions of this product line because of its history of lower-than-expected margins. The sales decrease to this market for the first quarter of 2000 was more than offset by steady increases in sales to other wholesale customer markets, such as saddle/tack and small manufacturers. Export sales and institutional sales (prisons, prisoners, schools, hospitals) remained constant compared to last year at this time. Costs, Gross Profit, and Expenses Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 51.8% for the first quarter of 2000 as compared to 57.2% for the same quarter in 1999. This translates into gross profit margins of 48.2% and 42.8% for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This improvement is primarily the result of the change in our sales mix. In prior years, our retail to wholesale mix has been 10%/90%. We saw that relationship shift in 1999 to a 15%/85% mix. For the first quarter of 2000, our retail sales increased to 20% of our total sales. As retail sales historically produce the highest profit margins, the growth of retail business has positively impacted our cost of sales and gross profit percentages. Operating expenses were $540,000 higher in the first quarter of 2000 than in the first quarter of 1999. As a percentage of sales however, they dropped 3% from last year's totals. The main cause for the dollar increase is in our payroll costs (wages and employee insurance programs). The number of employees has increased 30% over this time last year as a result of the increase in sales. Management monitors operating expenses closely and believes that we have improved operating efficiency as we continue to reduce the ratio of operating expenses to revenues. Other (Income) Expense Other expenses were down 24.3% from 1999. This reduction is primarily in interest expense due to the decrease in average outstanding debt balances and lower average interest rates in 2000 as compared to 1999. Net Income The Company reported net income of $384,000 during the first quarter of 2000 compared to a net loss of $92,000 for the same period a year ago. The significant improvement was principally due to the higher gross profit margins earned on the increased retail sales. 10 Capital Resources, Liquidity and Financial Condition The primary sources of liquidity and capital resources during the first quarter of 2000 were funds provided by operating activities in the amount of $154,000. The largest portion of the operating cash flow was used to pay down accounts payable, other liabilities, and debt balances. The Company's investment in accounts receivable was $2.1 million at March 31, 2000, down $153,000 from $2.3 million at year-end 1999. This is a result of a slight reduction (1.0%) in first quarter sales from sales in the fourth quarter of 1999 as well as improved collection efforts. Inventory decreased $596,000 to $8.2 million at March 31, 2000 from $8.8 million at year-end 1999. Inventory turnover decreased to an annualized rate of 1.80 times during the first quarter of 2000, which is slightly lower than the turnover of 1.89 times for all of 1999. Management is closely monitoring the inventory levels as we attempt to find the proper balance between inventory on hand and the increasing sales. Accounts payable decreased 25.7% to $1.3 million at the end of the first quarter, due primarily to the operating cash flow generated from the decrease in inventory levels for the quarter. As previously disclosed, on November 22, 1999, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. ("WFBC"), pursuant to which WFBC agreed to provide a credit facility of up to $8,650,000 in debt (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility has a three-year term and is made up of a revolving credit facility and a $150,000 term note. The revolving credit facility with WFBC is based upon the level of the Company's accounts receivable and inventory. At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the available and unused portion of the credit facility was approximately $1,089,000 and $508,000, respectively. The terms of the Credit Facility contains various covenants which among other things require the Company to maintain a certain level of income and book net worth, limit capital expenditures, and require the maintenance of certain debt service coverage ratios. Other covenants prohibit the company from incurring indebtedness except as permitted by the terms of the Credit Facility, from declaring or paying cash dividends upon any of its stock and from entering into any new business or making material changes in any of the Company's business objectives, purposes or operations. The Company believes that the current sources of liquidity and capital resources will be sufficient to fund current operations and the opening of any potential new sales/distribution units. In 2000, the funding for the opening of any new units is expected to be provided by operating leases, cash flows from operating activities, and the Credit Facility. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. The Company's Credit Facility includes loans with interest rates that vary with changes in the prime rate. An increase of one percentage point in the prime rate would not have a material impact on the Company's future earnings. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
