NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note A - Basis of Presentation This report covers ICON Health & Fitness, Inc. & Subsidiaries (collectively, "the Company"). The Company's parent company, HF Holdings, Inc. ("HF Holdings"), is not a registrant. The Company is one of the world's leading manufacturers and marketers of fitness equipment. The Company is headquartered in Logan, Utah and has more than 5,000 employees worldwide. The Company develops, manufactures and markets fitness equipment under the following company-owned brand names: NordicTrack, ProForm, HealthRider, Weslo, Weider, IMAGE and Free Motion, as well as Reebok and Gold's Gym under license agreements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statement presentation. In addition, certain minor reclassifications of previously reported financial information were made to conform to the current period's presentation. The Company, in its opinion, has included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended February 28, 2004 and March 1, 2003. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended May 31, 2003 included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K/A as amended with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2003. Interim results, including comparative balance sheets, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year due to the inherent seasonality in the Company's business. See "Seasonality" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Critical Accounting Policies The Company's discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on its consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments and estimates that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. The Company believes that investors need to be aware of these policies and how they impact its financial statements as a whole, as well as its related discussion and analysis presented herein. While the Company believes that these accounting policies are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these estimates or forecasts. The accounting policies and related risks described in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K/A as amended with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2003 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of February 28, 2004, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein. Stock-Based Compensation Plans - The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for options granted to employees under its fixed stock option plan. There were no stock options granted in the nine months ended February 28, 2004 and March 1, 2003, respectively. All previously granted options were fully vested as of November 30, 2002. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock options been recognized based upon the estimated fair value on the grant date under the fair value methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings would have been as follows (table in thousands): Nine Months Ended February 28, March 1, 2004 2003 ------------ ------------ Net income, as reported $31,903 $30,584 Less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects - 28 ------- ------- Pro forma net income $31,903 $30,556 ======= ======= Warranty Reserves - The Company maintains a warranty accrual for estimated future warranty obligations based upon the relationship between historical and anticipated costs and sales volumes. If actual warranty expenses are greater than those projected, additional reserves and other charges against earnings may be required. If actual warranty expenses are less than projected, prior reserves could be reduced providing a positive impact on the Company's reported results. The following table provides a reconciliation of the changes in the Company's product warranty reserve (table in thousands): Nine Months Ended February 28, March 1, 2004 2003 ------------ ------------ Warranty Reserve: Balance at beginning of the year $2,693 $1,290 Additions: Charged to costs and expenses - 1,232 Deductions: Reduction in reserve (22) - ------ ------ Balance at end of year $2,671 $2,522 ====== ====== Note B - Accounting Changes See "Recent Accounting Standards" under Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 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 the Company's products. The Company currently carries an occurrence-based product liability insurance policy. The current policy provides coverage for the period from October 1, 2003 to October 1, 2004 of up to $10.0 million per occurrence and $10.0 million in the aggregate. The policy has a deductible on each claim of up to $1.0 million. For occurrences prior to October 1, 2003, the policy provided coverage of up to $5.0 million per occurrence and $5.0 million in the aggregate. The policy had a deductible on each claim of up to $1.0 million. For occurrences prior to October 1, 2002, the policy provided coverage of up to $5.0 million per occurrence and $5.0 million in the aggregate. The policy had a deductible on each claim of up to $0.5 million. 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 current pending claims or series of claims will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, liquidity or financial position. The Company is party to a variety of non-product liability commercial lawsuits involving contract claims, arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that adverse resolution of these lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect upon its results of operations, liquidity or financial position. In December 2001, a claim was made against the Company alleging the Company received $1.7 million of preferential transfers in connection with the 1999 Service Merchandise bankruptcy proceedings. The Company's counsel is currently vigorously defending the proposed claim. At this time, the Company and its counsel are unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the amount or range of potential recovery or loss. The Company is 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, liquidity or financial position. In fiscal 2003, the Company formed a foreign subsidiary to build a manufacturing facility in Xiamen, China. The Company's equity interest in the foreign subsidiary is 70%, which will be funded in the form of equity and debt. The Company is in the process of arranging for the debt portion of the financing, which is expected to be provided by the Bank of China. As of February 28, 2004, the Company has made contributions of $5.0 million and the minority interest contributions were $3.5 million. The minority interest shareholder is also a long-time vendor of the Company. The Company has recorded purchases from this vendor of approximately $67.5 million and $27.7 million during the nine-month and three-month periods ended February 28, 2004, respectively. He also holds an equity interest in the Company. As a result of the Company's controlling interest in the foreign subsidiary, the investment has been reported on a consolidated basis beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. On January 6, 2004, the Company filed on Form 8-K a press release outlining a pending management transition based on news that Scott Watterson, Chief Executive Officer and Gary Stevenson, Chief Operating Officer intend to resign from their respective positions sometime in the second or third quarter of calendar 2004. The Company and Mr. Watterson and Mr. Stevenson are currently in discussions regarding the modification of their existing employment contracts to take into account the anticipated resignations. The modifications have not been completed or agreed to as of the date of this filing. Note D - Revolving Credit Line The credit agreement, which includes the Company's $210 million revolving credit line ("Revolver"), requires the Company to maintain a lockbox arrangement whereby remittances from the Company's customers reduce the borrowings outstanding under the Revolver. Recently, the Company determined that the credit agreement also contains a Material Adverse Effect ("MAE") clause which grants the agent and lenders having more than 66 and 2/3% of the commitment or borrowings the right to block the Company's requests for future advances. EITF Issue 95-22 "Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements That Include both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lockbox Arrangement" requires borrowings under credit agreements with these two provisions to be classified as current obligations. On April 12, 2004, the Company obtained written waivers from the agent and lenders having more than 33 and 1/3% of the commitment or borrowings waiving their rights under the MAE clause for the period from April 13, 2004 to April 17, 2005. Accordingly, the Company has classified the outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement, which totaled $151.7 million as of February 28, 2004 as a long-term liability. In addition, the Company has restated the May 31, 2003 and March 1, 2003 balance sheets to properly reflect the borrowings as current as of May 31, 2003 and March 1, 2003. This reclassification had no impact on the Company's debt covenants under the credit agreement, its ability to draw on existing facilities or its previously reported net income. Note E - 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 condensed consolidating financial statements are presented (in thousands): 1. Condensed consolidating balance sheets as of February 28, 2004 (unaudited), May 31, 2003 (audited) and March 1, 2003 (unaudited), condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended February 28, 2004 and March 1, 2003 (unaudited), and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended February 28, 2004 and March 1, 2003 (unaudited). 2. The Company's combined Subsidiary Guarantors and combined Non-Guarantor subsidiaries with their investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method. 3. Elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Company and all of its subsidiaries.

Our actual results could differ materially from our historical operating results and from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including without limitation, those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and other factors and uncertainties contained in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Three Months Ended February 28, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended March 1, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 decreased $16.0 million, or 4.7%, to $328.0 million from $344.0 million in the comparable period in 2003. The decrease in sales was not attributable to a single customer, distributor or any other specific factor. The decrease was across several product lines. Sales of our cardiovascular and other equipment in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 decreased $24.3 million, or 8.6%, to $259.1 million. Sales of our strength training equipment in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 increased $8.4 million, or 13.9%, to $68.9 million. Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 was $102.5 million, or 31.3% of net sales, compared to $106.1 million, or 30.8% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. This increase in margin was largely due to changes in product mix and manufacturing efficiencies. Selling expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 1.2%, to $42.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. This decrease was a result of decreased bad debt expenses of $5.0 million offset by increased freight of $3.4 million and an increase in personnel costs of $1.3 million relating in part to expanding product lines and distribution channels. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, selling expenses were 13.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 and 12.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. Research and development expenses increased $0.4 million, or 12.5%, to $3.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses were 1.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 and 0.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. This increase is attributable to management's efforts to continue to develop both current and future products. General and administrative expenses increased $3.9 million, or 17.5%, to $26.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. This increase was attributable to increased professional services of $2.7 million which include legal fees and insurance, depreciation of $1.3 million and rent and lease expense of $1.4 million. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 8.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 and 6.5% in third quarter of fiscal 2003. As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations decreased $7.5 million, or 19.9%, to $30.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, income from operations was 9.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 compared with 10.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. As a result of the foregoing factors, EBITDA (as defined under "Seasonality") decreased $6.2 million or 14.6% to $36.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, EBITDA was 11.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 compared with 12.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing fees, increased $0.2 million, or 3.1%, to 6.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing fees, was 2.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 and 1.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The provision for income taxes was $5.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2004, compared with a provision of $10.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. Income tax expense, as a percentage of pre-tax income, was 22.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2004, compared to 34.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of an Internal Revenue Service adjustment, the use of foreign tax credits and the prepayment of Canadian taxes in fiscal 2003. As a result of the foregoing factors, net income was $18.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2004, compared to net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 of $20.3 million, a decrease of 10.3% over the same period last year. Nine Months Ended February 28, 2004, Compared to Nine Months Ended March 1, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------ During the first nine months of fiscal 2004, net sales increased $50.8 million, or 6.3%, to $857.7 million from $806.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. The increase in sales was not attributable to a single customer, distributor or any other specific factor. The increase was across all product lines for which there was increased demand, particularly direct to consumer sales. Sales of our cardiovascular and other equipment in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 increased $14.8 million or 2.2%, to $691.2 million. Sales of our strength training equipment in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 increased $36.0 million, or 27.6%, to $166.5 million. Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2004 was $262.1 million, or 30.6% of net sales, compared to $231.5 million, or 28.7% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2003. This 13.2% increase in margin dollars was largely due to increased direct to consumer sales, changes in product mix and manufacturing efficiencies. Selling expenses increased $16.6 million, or 17.3% to $112.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004. This increase can be attributed in part to increased advertising expenses of $10.3 million, freight of $5.6 million, personnel costs of $3.2 million relating in part to expanding product lines and distribution channels, commissions of $1.0 and other increases of $3.5 million. These increases were offset by decreased bad debt expenses of $7.0 million over the same period last year. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, selling expenses were 13.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 and 11.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. Research and development expenses increased $1.8 million, or 21.4%, to $10.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses were 1.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 and 1.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. This increase is attributable to management's efforts to continue to develop both current and future products. General and administrative expenses increased $14.5 million, or 24.7%, to $73.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004. This increase was attributable to increased professional services of $6.9 million which include legal fees and insurance, depreciation of $4.2 million and rent and lease expense of $3.2 million. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 8.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 and 7.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations decreased $2.3 million, or 3.4%, to $66.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, income from operations was 7.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 compared with 8.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. As a result of the foregoing factors, EBITDA (as defined under "Seasonality") increased $1.8 million to $83.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, EBITDA was 9.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 compared with 10.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing fees, decreased $0.5 million, or 2.5%, to $19.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004. This decrease reflects the continued lower interest rates on our borrowings during the period. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, interest expense including amortization of deferred financing fees was 2.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 and 2.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. The provision for income taxes was $14.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2004, compared with a provision of $17.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003. Income tax expense, as a percentage of pre-tax income, for the first nine months of fiscal 2004 was 31.5%, compared to 36.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of an Internal Revenue Service adjustment, the use of foreign tax credits and the prepayment of Canadian taxes in fiscal 2003. As a result of the foregoing factors, net income was $31.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2004, compared to net income in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 of $30.6 million, an increase of 4.2% over the same period last year. Seasonality The market for exercise equipment is highly seasonal, with peak periods occurring from late fall through February. As a result, the first and fourth quarters of every fiscal year are generally our weakest periods in terms of sales. During these periods, we build product inventory to prepare for the heavy demand anticipated during the upcoming peak season. This operating strategy helps us to realize the efficiencies of a steady pace of year-round production. The following are the net sales, net income (loss) and EBITDA by quarter for fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002:

(5) In November of 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 01-09, "Accounting for Consideration Given by Vendor to a Customer" ("EITF 01-09") effective for annual or interim financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2001. EITF 01-09 provides guidance on the accounting treatment of various types of consideration given by a vendor to a customer. We adopted EITF 01-09 in fiscal 2003. Net sales are shown as if EITF 01-09 were adopted for all periods presented. Net sales without the adjustment for EITF 01-09 were as follows: First Second Third Fourth Quarter(1) Quarter(2) Quarter(3) Quarter(4) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- (dollars in millions) Net Sales 2004 $202.8 $339.2 $335.7 $ - 2003 175.8 301.5 354.8 210.9 2002 138.1 272.1 304.9 181.0 (6) EBITDA is a presentation of "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization." EBITDA data is included because management understands that such information is considered by bankers and certain investors as an additional basis on evaluating a company's ability to pay interest, repay debt and make capital expenditures. In addition, performance bonuses paid to management are based in part on EBITDA. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered an alternative to operating or net income in measuring company results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources Net cash used in operating activities was $37.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004, compared to $33.1 million of cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. In the first nine months of fiscal 2004, major sources of funds were non-cash provisions of $17.3 million for depreciation and amortization and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $44.9 million. These changes were offset by increases in inventories of $38.0 million and accounts receivable of $88.5 million. These changes are due to our increase in sales during the period. In the first nine months of fiscal 2003, major sources of funds were non-cash provisions of $13.2 million for depreciation and amortization, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $38.9 million. These increases were offset by increases in inventories of $16.7 million and accounts receivable of $117.9 million. Such increases were due to the aforementioned factors relating to sales increases. Net cash used in investing activities was $23.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004, compared to $16.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. Investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 consisted primarily of capital expenditures of $12.4 million related to purchases of additional manufacturing equipment and upgrades in plant and tooling, excluding $4.9 million of capital expenditures for the manufacturing facility in China. Other uses included purchases of intangibles of $5.9 million. Cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was primarily for capital expenditures of $13.4 million and purchases of intangibles of $3.4 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $63.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004, compared to $50.0 million of cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. Cash provided by financing activities resulted from net borrowings on our existing credit facilities and the minority contribution of $3.5 million from our recent expansion to China. Our primary short-term liquidity needs consist of financing seasonal merchandise inventory buildups and paying cash interest expense under our existing credit facilities and on the 11.25% subordinated notes due in April of 2012. Our principal source of financing for our seasonal merchandise inventory buildup and increased accounts receivable is revolving credit borrowings under the existing credit facilities. At February 28, 2004, we had $73.3 million of availability under these facilities. Our working capital borrowing needs are typically at their lowest level from 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 holiday 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. The credit agreement which includes the Company's $210 million revolving credit line ("Revolver") requires the Company to maintain a lockbox arrangement whereby remittances from the Company's customers reduce the borrowings outstanding under the Revolver. Recently, the Company determined that the credit agreement also contains a Material Adverse Effect ("MAE") clause which grants the agent and lenders having more than 66 and 2/3% of the commitment or borrowings the right to block the Company's requests for future advances. EITF Issue 95-22 "Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements That Include both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lockbox Arrangement" requires borrowings under credit agreements with these two provisions to be classified as current obligations. On April 12, 2004, the Company obtained written waivers from the agent and lenders having more than 33 and 1/3% of the commitment or borrowings waiving their rights under the MAE clause for the period from April 13, 2004 to April 17, 2005. Accordingly, the Company has classified the outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement, which totaled $151.7 million as of February 28, 2004 as a long-term liability. In addition, the Company has restated the May 31, 2003 and March 1, 2003 balance sheets to properly reflect the borrowings as current as of May 31, 2003 and March 1, 2003. This reclassification had no impact on the Company's debt covenants under the credit agreement, its ability to draw on existing facilities or its previously reported net income. We do not believe that any of these MAEs have occurred or can reasonably be expected to occur based upon our history and our relationship with the Revolver lenders. We intend to manage the Credit Facility as long-term debt with a final maturity date in 2007, as provided for in the credit agreement that we signed. The balance outstanding under the existing credit facility consisted of (in millions): February 28, 2004 May 31, 2003 March 1, 2003 ----------------- ------------ ------------- Revolver $136.7 $72.6 $133.6 Term Loan 15.0 18.7 20.0 ------ ----- ------ $151.7 $91.3 $153.6 ====== ===== ====== As of February 28, 2004, our consolidated indebtedness was approximately $304.8 million, of which approximately $151.7 million was senior indebtedness. With the exception of the increases in the revolver noted above, our contractual cash obligations and commercial commitments remained consistent with those at the end of fiscal 2003. Based on our current level of operations, we believe that cash flow from operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under our existing credit facility, will be adequate to meet 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. In May of 2003, we amended our credit agreement to provide for the debt financing in China. Critical Accounting Policies Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments and estimates that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. We believe that investors need to be aware of these policies and how they impact our financial statements as a whole, as well as our related discussion and analysis presented herein. While we believe that these accounting policies are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these estimates or forecasts. The accounting policies and related risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K/A as amended with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2003 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of February 28, 2004, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", which clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements" to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is applicable immediately for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46, as amended, are applicable no later than December 31, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS No. 150 establishes standards on the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The provisions of SFAS No. 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and to all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. We do not expect SFAS No. 150 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Interest Rate 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 re-pricing or refinancing of our fixed rate debt and on future debt. We use long-term and medium-term debt as a source of capital. At February 28, 2004, we had approximately $153.1 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 February 28, 2004 we had approximately $151.7 million in outstanding variable rate debt. Foreign Currency Risk In addition to the United States, we have operations or transact business in Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, and Asia. The operations in these foreign countries conduct business in their local currencies as well as other regional currencies. To mitigate our exposure to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of each entity, we enter into forward exchange contracts from time to time to manage foreign currency risk related to the procurement of merchandise from foreign sources. As of February 28, 2004, the Company had foreign currency contracts in the form of forward exchange contracts in the amount of approximately $2.4 million in U.S. dollars and $1.9 in Canadian dollars. Unrealized gains and losses associated with these contracts include a $25,000 loss on U.S. dollars and a $75,000 gain on Canadian dollars. These unrealized gains and losses are included in the statement of operations. The market risk inherent in these instruments was not material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow during the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Because of the variety of currencies in which purchases and sales are transacted, it is not possible to predict the impact of a movement in foreign currency exchange rates on future operating results. However, we intend to continue to mitigate our exposure to foreign exchange gains or losses. Item 4 Controls and Procedures (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of February 28, 2004 (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them, on a timely basis, to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic filings under the Exchange Act. (b) Changes in Internal Controls. Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such controls.
