The Company's parent company, HF Holdings, Inc. ("HF Holdings"), is not a registrant. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments which, in the Company's opinion, is necessary to present fairly its financial position at August 31, 2002 and is results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended August 31, 2002 and September 1, 2001. All adjustments in the periods presented herein are normal and recurring in nature. Certain reclassifications of previously reported financial information were made to conform to the current period's presentation. Note B - Accounting Changes In November of 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by Vendor to a Customer ("EITF 01-9") effective for annual or interim financial statements beginning after December 15, 2001. EITF 01-9 provides guidance on the accounting treatment of various types of consideration given by a vendor to a customer. The Company adopted EITF 01-9 in fiscal 2003. Net sales for the first quarter fiscal 2002 are shown as if EITF 01-9 were adopted for that quarter. Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 without the adjustment for EITF 01-9 were $138.1 million. Effective June 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ( SFAS 142). This statement requires that goodwill and certain other intangibles no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. The Company will assess the impairment of goodwill on an annual basis or if other indicators of impairment arise. Note C - Commitments and Contingencies Due to the nature of the Company's products, the Company is subject to product liability claims involving personal injuries allegedly related to the Company's products. These claims include injuries sustained by individuals using trampolines and treadmills. The Company currently carries an occurrence-based product liability insurance policy. The current policy provides coverage for the period from October 1, 2002 to October 1, 2003 of up to $5.0 million per occurrence and $5.0 million in the aggregate. The policy has a deductible on each claim of up to $1,000,000. Effective through September 30, 2002, the deductible was $500,000. The Company believes that its insurance is generally adequate to cover product liability claims. Nevertheless, currently pending claims and any future claims are subject to the uncertainties related to litigation, and the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings or claims cannot be predicted. Due to uncertainty with respect to the nature and extent of manufacturers' and distributors' liability for personal injuries, the Company cannot guarantee that its product liability insurance is or will be adequate to cover such claims. The Company vigorously defends any and all product liability claims brought against it and does not believe that any currently pending claim or series of claims will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position. The Company is a party to a variety of non-product liability commercial lawsuits involving contract claims, arising in the ordinary course of its business. 6 The Company believes that adverse resolution of these lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect upon its results of operations or financial position. The Company is a party also involved in several intellectual property and patent infringement claims, arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect upon its results of operations or financial position. The Company is involved in litigation with Service Merchandise in connection with its filing for bankruptcy protection. Service Merchandise filed three (3) separate adversarial proceedings against it in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division, alleging preferential transfer in Adversarial Proceeding Nos. 301-0738A and 301-0770A, and Breach of Contract in Adversarial Proceeding No. 301-0586A. The bankruptcy trustee has filed suit in connection with the foregoing seeking to recapture an aggregate amount of $1,670,000 in payments made to the Company as a voidable preference. The summons was issued on April 16, 2001. On September 25, 2000, the United States Customs Service proposed an assessment against the Company in the United States Court of International Trade, Court No. 00-09-00467, for United States duties of approximately $1.3 million regarding the disputed treatment of certain imports. On September 1, 2000, the Company made a partial payment in the amount of $213,188. On September 25, 2000, the Company initiated proceedings with the United States Customs Service to obtain a ruling on the correct treatment of these imports. If this proceeding results in a favorable ruling for the Company, it hopes to obtain a refund of the partial payment paid on September 1, 2000. The Company can make no assurances that it will obtain a favorable result with respect to these amounts. Note D - Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information The Company's subsidiaries Jumpking, Inc., 510152 N.B. Ltd., Universal Technical Services, Inc., ICON International Holdings, Inc., NordicTrack, Inc., Free Motion Fitness, Inc. and ICON IP, Inc. ("Subsidiary Guarantors") have fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis, the obligation to pay principal and interest with respect to the 11.25% Notes. A significant portion of the Company's operating income and cash flow is generated by its subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet the Company's debt service obligations are provided in part by distributions or advances from its subsidiaries. Under certain circumstances, contractual and legal restrictions, as well as the financial condition and operating requirements of the Company's subsidiaries, could limit the Company's ability to obtain cash from its subsidiaries for the purpose of meeting its debt service obligations, including the payment of principal and interest on the 11.25% Notes. Although holders of the 11.25% Notes will be direct creditors of the Company's principal direct subsidiaries by virtue of the guarantees, the Company has indirect subsidiaries located primarily in Europe ("Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries") that are not included among the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and such subsidiaries will not be obligated with respect to the 11.25% Notes. As a result, the claims of creditors of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries will effectively have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such companies over the claims of creditors of the Company, including the holders of the 11.25% Notes. The following supplemental consolidating condensed financial statements are presented (in thousands): 1. Consolidating condensed balance sheets as of August 31, 2002 and May 31, 2002 and consolidating condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2002 and September 1, 2001. 7 2. The Company's combined Subsidiary Guarantors and combined Non-guarantor subsidiaries with their investments in subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method. 3. Elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Company and all of its subsidiaries.

11 Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Recent Developments ------------------- On July 1, 2002, the labor contract between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) expired. This contract affects all of the ports on the Western Coast of the United States. The members of the ILWU are primarily responsible for the removal of cargo from container loaded shipping vessels. The members had been working under a daily extension of the contract; however, on September 27, 2002 the ILWU began a work slowdown, which resulted in a PMA lockout of the longshoremen. On October 8, 2002, a federal court judge imposed an 80-day cooling-off period which will temporarily reopen the West Coast ports. Many of our shipments from Asia move through these West Coast United States ports. The current lockout, if it continues, could affect the timely delivery of our products, which could negatively impact our sales. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 and continuing into the first quarter of fiscal 2003, we began a gradual buildup of merchandise inventory in anticipation of a possible work stoppage and have put into place contingency plans. The contingency plans will not offset the significant impact of a prolonged work stoppage. The contingency plans include increased usage of airfreight transportation, which could substantially increase our selling costs and have a negative impact on our future earnings. Three Months Ended August 31, 2002 Compared to Three months ended September 1, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2001 ---- Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 increased $36.0 million, or 26.8%, to $170.2 million from $134.2 million in the comparable period in 2002. Sales increased primarily due to increased customer demand. Sales of our cardiovascular and other equipment in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 increased $38.3 million, or 35.3%, to $146.7 million. Sales of our strength training equipment in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 decreased $2.2 million, or 8.7%, to $23.5 million. Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was $43.4 million, or 25.5% of net sales, compared to $33.9 million, or 25.2% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Selling expenses increased $1.5 million, or 7.4%, to $22.5 million in fiscal 2002. This increase was the result of higher selling costs associated with the increase in sales. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, selling expenses were 13.2% in the first quarter fiscal 2003 compared to 15.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Research and development expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 12.4%, to $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses were 1.5% in first quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 12.4%, to $16.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. This increase was attributable in part to higher insurance costs. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 9.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and 11.2% in first quarter of fiscal 2002. As a result of the foregoing factors, operating income increased $6.5 million, or 129.2%, to $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, operating income was 0.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 12 2003 compared with (3.8)% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. As a result of the foregoing factors, EBITDA increased $6.4 million to $6.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, EBITDA was 3.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared with (0.1)% in the first quarter of fiscal (2002). Interest expense including amortization of deferred financing fees decreased $1.0 million, or 13.1%, to $6.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003. This decrease reflects our lower borrowing levels during the period combined with lower interest rates on our borrowings during the period. Income tax benefit, as a percentage of pre-tax loss, for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was 26.0%, compared to 39.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the combined effects of the computational impact of expenses not deductible for tax purposes and state tax liabilities in certain jurisdictions. As a result of the foregoing factors, our net loss was $3.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to a net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 of $ 7.5 million. Seasonality The following are the net sales, net income (loss) and EBITDA by quarter for fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001:
First Second Third Fourth Quarter(1) Quarter(2) Quarter(3) Quarter(4) ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- (dollars in millions) Net Sales (5) 2003 $170.2 $ - $ - $ - 2002 134.2 272.1 304.9 181.0 2001 129.5 276.0 254.6 160.5 Net Income (Loss) 2003 (3.4) - - - 2002 (7.5) 11.1 25.5 (9.7) 2001 (8.2) 11.7 10.8 (1.0) EBITDA 2003 6.3 - - - 2002 (0.1) 31.3 38.7 5.8 2001 1.6 34.2 32.2 4.1
----------- (1) Our first quarter ended August 31, September 1, and September 2 for fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. (2) Our second quarter ended December 1 and December 2 for fiscal years 2002 and 2001, respectively. (3) Our third quarter ended March 2 and March 3 for fiscal years 2002 and 2001, respectively. (4) Our fourth quarter ended May 31 for the fiscal years 2002 and 2001, respectively. (5) In November of 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by Vendor to a Customer ("EITF 01-9") effective for annual or interim financial statements beginning after December 15, 2001. EITF 01-9 provides guidance on the accounting treatment of various types of consideration given by a vendor to a customer. The Company adopted EITF 01-9 in fiscal 2003. Net sales for the first quarter fiscal 2002 are shown as if EITF 01-9 were adopted for that quarter. Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 without the adjustment for EITF 01-9 were $138.1 million. 13 We sell a majority of our products to customers in our second and third fiscal quarters (i.e., from September through February). Increased sales and distribution typically occur in the Christmas retail season and the beginning of a new calendar year because of increased promotions by our retail customers, increased consumer purchases and seasonal changes that prompt people to exercise inside. If actual sales for a quarter do not meet or exceed projected sales for that quarter, expenditures and inventory levels could be disproportionately high for such quarter and our cash flow for that quarter and future quarters could be adversely effected. The timing of large orders from customers and the mix of products sold may also contribute to periodic fluctuations. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net cash used in operating activities was $43.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, as compared to $16.1 million of cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, major sources of funds were non-cash provisions of $4.2 million for depreciation and amortization, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $10.9 million. These changes were offset by increases in inventories of $51.2 million and accounts receivable of $2.5 million. These changes are due to our increasing sales during the course of the first several months of the fiscal year leading up to our peak selling season, which occurs between the months of October and December. We sell the majority of our products to customers in the second and third fiscal quarters (i.e., from September through February). In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, major sources of funds were non-cash provisions of $4.5 million for depreciation and amortization, a decrease in accounts receivable of $15.9 million and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $14.4 million. These increases were offset by increases in inventories of $37.3 million. Such increases were due to the aforementioned factors relating to sales increases. Net cash used in investing activities was $5.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to $5.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 consisted primarily of capital expenditures of $4.6 million related to upgrades in plant and tooling and purchases of additional manufacturing equipment and purchases of intangibles of $0.8 million. Cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, was primarily for capital expenditures of $3.9 million and purchases of intangibles of $1.4 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $51.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to $22.4 million of cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Cash provided by financing activities resulted from our net borrowings on our new credit facility. On January 22, 2002, Kmart, a customer for over a decade, filed for bankruptcy protection. At the time of the filing, we had $12.1 million of unsecured accounts receivable outstanding with Kmart. As of August 31, 2002 we have a dedicated reserve of $2.4 million against these receivables. In addition to this dedicated reserve, we carry other account receivable reserves that are based on historical loss experiences and current economic events. We recognize that a considerable amount of judgment is required to assess the ultimate realization of accounts receivable, and, therefore, we re-evaluate the collectibility of these pre-petition receivables from Kmart on a continuous basis. Additional adjustments for our Kmart and other bad debts may be appropriate in future periods. In the first quarter fiscal 2003, we had net sales to Kmart of $5.3 million representing approximately 3.1% of our total net sales for that quarter. In fiscal 2002 we had net sales to Kmart of approximately $30.6 million representing approximately 3.4% of our total net sales for that period. Kmart has secured debtor in possession financing and will continue to operate in bankruptcy. We resumed shipments to Kmart as of February 5, 2002 with payment terms of 30 days, reduced from 60 days. Our primary short-term liquidity needs consist of financing seasonal 14 merchandise inventory buildups and paying cash interest expense under our existing credit facilities and on the 11.25% subordinated notes due in April 2012. Our principal source of financing for our seasonal merchandise inventory buildup and increased accounts receivable is revolving credit borrowings under our existing credit facilities. At August 31, 2002, we had $73.5 million of availability under these facilities. Our working capital borrowing needs are typically at their lowest level in April through June, increase somewhat through the summer and sharply increase from September through November to finance accounts receivable and purchases of inventory in advance of the Christmas and post-holiday selling season. Generally, in the period from November through February, our working capital borrowings remain at their highest level and then are paid down to their lowest annual levels from April through August. In connection with our refinancing in April 2002, we entered into our existing credit facility totaling $235.0 million of revolving and term loans with a syndicate of banks and financial services companies. Proceeds of our existing credit facility were used to refinance our then existing senior credit facilities and 12% senior subordinated notes due 2005, to fund transaction fees and expenses, and to provide for general working capital. As of August 31, 2002, the balance outstanding under the existing credit facility consisted of (in millions): Revolver $131.8 Term Loan 22.6 ------ $154.4 We have a significant amount of indebtedness. As of August 31, 2002, our consolidated indebtedness was approximately $307.2 million, of which approximately $152.8 million was senior indebtedness. Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal of, or to pay the interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness, including the 11.25% notes, or to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Based on our current level of operations, management believes that cash flow from operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under our new credit facility, will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for at least the next few years. We may, however, need to refinance all or a portion of the principal amount of the notes on or prior to maturity. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available under our new credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the 11.25% notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able refinance any of our indebtedness, including our new credit facility and the 11.25% notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Market Risk Fluctuations in the general level of interest rates on our current and future fixed and variable rate debt obligations expose us to market risk. We are vulnerable to significant fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt and on any future repricing or refinancing of our fixed rate debt and on future debt. 15 We use long-term and medium-term debt as a source of capital. At August 31, 2002, we had approximately $152.8 million in outstanding fixed rate debt, consisting of 11.25% subordinated notes maturing in April 2012. When debt instruments of this type mature, we typically refinance such debt at the then-existing market interest rates, which may be more or less than the interest rates on the maturing debt. Our credit facility has variable interest rates and any fluctuation in interest rates could increase or decrease our interest expense. At August 31, 2002, we had approximately $154.4 million in outstanding variable rate debt. Due to the uncertainty of fluctuations in interest rates and the specific actions that might be taken by us to mitigate the impact of such fluctuations and their possible effects, the foregoing sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure. We import some finished products and components from Canada and Asia. All purchases from Asia have been fixed in United States dollars and, therefore, we are not subject to foreign currency fluctuations on such purchases, although our vendors may respond to foreign currency fluctuations by seeking to raise their prices. U.S. Purchases of inventory from Canada have been settled in Canadian dollars and therefore we have been subject to fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar, which could have an impact on our operating results. In addition, European purchases of inventory from Canada and the U.S. have been settled in U.S. and Canadian dollars and therefore we have been subject to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. and Canadian dollars, which also could have an impact on our operating results. In connection with the importation of products and components from Canada, we from time to time engage in hedging transactions by entering into forward contracts for the purchase of Canadian dollars, which are designed to protect against such fluctuations. Our hedging transactions do not subject us to exchange rate risk because gains and losses on these contracts offset losses and gains on the transaction being hedged. The unhedged portion of purchases from Canada is not significant. As of August 31, 2002, we had no open forward exchange contracts to sell Canadian dollars. During fiscal years 2002 and 2001 we recognized no significant gains or losses upon settlement of foreign currency transactions denominated in Canadian dollars. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," which provides a comprehensive standard of accounting for business combinations. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations after June 30, 2001. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which requires a change in accounting for goodwill and certain other intangible assets. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which establishes accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation and its associated asset retirement cost. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" which supercedes SFAS No. 121 and requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. SFAS 144 broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. 16 In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Recission of FAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FAS 13 and Technical Corrections as of April 2002", which rescinds FAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64 and amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meaning, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 and will require the modification of prior financial statements to reclassify the 2002 loss on debt extinguishment from extraordinary to income from continuing operations. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", which addresses significant issues relating to the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Based on current circumstances, except for SFAS 145, we believe the application of the new accounting rules described above will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
