PETMED EXPRESS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
PetMed Express, Inc. and subsidiaries is a leading nationwide pet pharmacy.
The Company markets prescription and non-prescription pet medications, and
health and nutritional supplements for dogs and cats direct to the consumer.
The Company offers consumers an attractive alternative for obtaining pet
medications in terms of convenience, price, and speed of delivery.
The Company markets its products through national television, on-line and
direct mail advertising campaigns, which aim to increase the recognition
of the "1-800-PetMeds" brand name, increase traffic on its web site at
www.1800PetMeds.com , acquire new customers, and maximize repeat purchases.
The Company's executive offices are located in Pompano Beach, Florida.
The Company's fiscal year end is March 31, and references herein to
fiscal 2005 or 2004 refer to the Company's fiscal years ending March 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and,
therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the Company, after elimination of
intercompany accounts and transactions, at June 30, 2004 and the statements
of income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and cash flows
for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The results of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the fiscal
year ending March 31, 2005. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2004. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of PetMed Express, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2: Net Income Per Share
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share,"
basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share includes
the dilutive effect of potential stock options and warrants exercised and the
effects of the potential conversion of preferred shares, calculated using the
treasury stock method. Outstanding stock options, warrants, and convertible
preferred shares issued by the Company represent the only dilutive effect
reflected in diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of
the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the periods
presented:

computation as their exercise prices were greater than the average market
price of the common shares for the period.
Note 3: Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock options using the intrinsic value
method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company follows the
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, for employee stock options. Had the Company determined
employee compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its
stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have been
decreased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Note 4: Line of Credit
The Company's $5,000,000 line of credit is effective through August 28,
2004, and the interest rate is at the published thirty day London Interbank
Offered Rates ("LIBOR") plus 2.40% (3.73% at June 30, 2004), and contains
various financial and operating covenants. At June 30, 2004, there was no
outstanding balance under the line of credit agreement.
Note 5: Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit in Texas state district court
seeking injunctive and monetary relief styled Texas State Board of
Pharmacy and State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners v. PetMed Express,
Inc. Cause No.GN-202514, in the 201st Judicial District Court, Travis County,
Texas. The Company in its initial pleading denied the allegations contained
therein. The Company will vigorously defend, is confident of its compliance
with the applicable law, and finds wrong-on-the-facts the vast majority of
the allegations contained in the Plaintiffs' supporting documentation
attached to the lawsuit. Discovery has commenced and at this stage of the
litigation it is difficult to assess any possible outcome or estimate any
potential loss in the event of an adverse outcome.
Routine Proceedings
The Company is a party to routine litigation and administrative complaints
incidental to its business. Management does not believe that the resolution
of any or all of such routine litigation and administrative complaints are
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition
or results of operations. The Company has settled complaints that had been
filed with various states' pharmacy boards in the past. There can be no
assurances made that other states will not attempt to take similar actions
against the Company in the future.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Executive Summary
PetMed Express was incorporated in the state of Florida in January 1996.
The Company's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market
("NASDAQ") under the symbol "PETS." Prior to the move to the NASDAQ, the
Company's shares had been traded on the over-the-counter-bulletin board.
The Company began selling pet medications and products in September 1996,
and issued its first catalog in the fall of 1997. This catalog displayed
approximately 1,200 items, including prescription and non-prescription pet
medications, pet health and nutritional supplements and pet accessories.
In fiscal 2001, the Company focused its product line on approximately 600
of the most popular pet medications and health and nutritional supplements
for dogs and cats. The Company markets its products through national
television, online, and direct mail advertising campaigns which direct the
consumers to order by phone or on the Internet, and aim to increase the
recognition of the "1-800-PetMeds" brand name. We currently generate
approximately 52% of all sales via the Internet.
The Company's sales consist of products sold mainly to retail consumers
and minimally to wholesale customers. Typically, the Company's customers
pay by credit card or check at the time the order is shipped. The Company
usually receives cash settlement in one to three banking days for sales paid
by credit cards, which minimizes the accounts receivable balances relative
to the Company's sales. Certain wholesale customers are extended credit
terms, which usually require payment within 30 days of delivery. The
Company's sales returns average was approximately 1.6% and 1.5% of sales
for the quarters ended on June 30, 2004 and 2003 respectively. The twelve
month average purchase was approximately $74 and $73 per order, and the
three month average purchase was approximately $79 and $74 per order for the
quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of
our operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements
and the data used to prepare them. The Company's condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On an
ongoing basis we re-evaluate our judgments and estimates including those
related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, long-lived assets,
income taxes, litigation and contingencies. We base our estimates and
judgments on our historical experience, knowledge of current conditions
and our beliefs of what could occur in the future considering available
information. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. Our estimates are guided by observing the
following critical accounting policies.
Revenue recognition
The Company generates revenue by selling pet medication products primarily
to retail consumers and minimally to wholesale customers. The Company's
policy is to recognize revenue from product sales upon shipment, when the
rights of ownership and risk of loss have passed to the consumer. Outbound
shipping and handling fees are included in sales and are billed upon
shipment. Shipping and handling expenses are included in cost of sales.
The majority of the Company's sales are paid by credit cards and the
Company usually receives the cash settlement in one to three banking days.
Credit card sales minimize accounts receivable balances relative to sales.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for losses that the
Company estimates will arise from the customers' inability to make required
payments, arising from either credit card charge-backs or insufficient funds
checks. The Company determines its estimates of the uncollectibility of
accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts and current economic
trends. At June 30, 2004 and 2003 the allowance for doubtful accounts was
approximately $22,000 and $26,000, respectively.
Valuation of inventory
Inventories consist of prescription and non-prescription pet medications
that are available for sale and are priced at the lower of cost or market
value using a weighted average cost method. The Company writes down its
inventory for estimated obsolescence. At June 30, 2004 and 2003 the
inventory reserve was approximately $289,000 and $141,000, respectively.
7
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The
furniture, fixtures, equipment and computer software are depreciated over
periods ranging from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements and assets
under capital lease agreements are amortized over the shorter of the
underlying lease agreement or the useful life of the asset.
Long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount
of the asset to net future cash flows expected to be generated from the asset.
Advertising
The Company's advertising expense consists primarily of television
advertising, internet marketing, and direct mail advertising. Television
costs are expensed as the advertisements are televised and direct mail costs
are expensed when the related print materials are produced, distributed or
superseded.
Accounting for income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which generally requires recognition of
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or
consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial
reporting carrying values and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and
are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in
which those differences are expected to reverse.
Results of Operations
The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed
consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included
elsewhere herein. The following table sets forth, as a percentage of sales,
certain items appearing in the Company's condensed consolidated statements
of operations.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared With Three Months Ended
June 30, 2003
Sales
- -----
Sales increased by approximately $4,901,000, or 16.1%, to approximately
$35,289,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, from approximately
$30,388,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase in sales for
the three months ended June 30, 2004 can be primarily attributed to
increased retail reorders sales, offset with decreased new order sales.
The Company has committed certain amounts specifically designated towards
television, direct mail and on-line advertising to stimulate sales, create
brand awareness, and acquire new customers. Retail reorder sales have
increased by approximately $7,438,000, or 60.0%, to approximately
$19,946,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from approximately
$12,508,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Retail new order sales
have decreased by approximately $2,837,000, or 15.9%, to approximately
$14,928,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from approximately
$17,765,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Wholesale sales
have increased by approximately $299,000, or 260.8%, to approximately
$414,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from approximately
$115,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The Company acquired
approximately 191,000 new customers for the quarter ended June 30, 2004,
compared to approximately 234,000 new customers for the same period prior
year.
We believe that the decrease to new order sales is directly related to
television advertising availability and increased competition. During the
three months ended June 30, 2004 television advertising accounted for 46%
of our overall advertising expenditures, with 42% spent on direct mail/print
advertising and the remainder spent on on-line advertising. In contrast
during the three months ended June 30, 2003 television advertising accounted
for 74% of our overall advertising expenditures, with 17% spent on direct
mail/print advertising and the remainder spent on on-line advertising.
This shift from spending the majority of our advertising budget on
television advertising in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 to spending
less than half of our advertising budget in the first quarter of fiscal year
2004 was the result of a cost benefit analysis. This indicated that such
a shift was necessary because of a shortage of television advertising
inventory and an increase in the cost of available television advertising
and that print media could be a viable alternative. Management believes
that this increased demand for television advertising is a result of the
strengthening economy and a surge in political advertising associated with
the upcoming elections. The Company expects this trend in advertising,
which has an effect on sales, to continue into our fiscal third quarter,
until the presidential elections are over.
The majority of our product sales are affected by the seasons, due to the
seasonality of mainly heartworm and flea and tick medications. Industry
seasonality trends, according to Fountain Agricounsel LLC, Management
Consultants to Agribusiness, are divided into percentage of industry sales
by quarter. For the quarters ended June 30, September 30, December 31, and
March 31 industry sales are approximately 37%, 28%, 16%, and 19%,
respectively. For the quarters ended June 30, September 30, December 31,
and March 31 of fiscal 2004, Company's sales were approximately 32%, 27%,
18%, and 23%, respectively.
Cost of sales
- -------------
Cost of sales increased by approximately $2,844,000, or 15.3%, to
approximately $21,427,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, from
approximately $18,583,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase
in cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2004 is directly related
to the increase in retail sales. As a percent of sales, the cost of sales
was 60.7% and 61.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The percentage decrease can be attributed to increases in our
product pricing, slightly offset by increases to our product cost.
Gross profit
- ------------
Gross profit increased by approximately $2,057,000, or 17.4%, to
approximately $13,862,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, from
approximately $11,805,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Gross profit
as a percentage of sales was 39.3% and 38.9% for the three months ended
June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The percentage increase can be
attributed to increases in our product pricing, slightly offset by
increases to our product cost.
9
General and administrative expenses
- -----------------------------------
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $201,000,
or 6.6%, to approximately $3,222,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004,
from approximately $3,021,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The
increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 2004 was primarily due to the following: a $237,000 increase to
payroll expenses which can be attributed to the addition of new employees
in the customer service and pharmacy departments enabling the company to
sustain its growth; a $93,000 increase to bank service and credit card
fees, which can be directly attributed to increased sales; a $39,000
increase to property expenses, relating to additional rent due to our
warehouse expansion; and a $35,000 increase to office expenses. Offsetting
the increase were an $119,000 reduction to professional fees, primarily
relating to a reduction in legal fees; a $70,000 reduction to telephone
expenses; and a $14,000 reduction to insurance expenses, travel expenses,
and bad debt expenses, collectively.
Advertising expenses
- --------------------
Advertising expenses increased by approximately $1,246,000, or 19.1%, to
approximately $7,755,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, from
approximately $6,509,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase
in advertising expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was due to
the Company's plan to commit certain amounts specifically designated towards
television, direct mail/print and on-line advertising to stimulate sales,
create brand awareness, and acquire new customers. As a percentage of
sales, advertising expense was 22.0% and 21.4% for the three month ended
June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company expects advertising as a
percentage of sales to range from approximately 18.0% to 22.0% in fiscal
2005. However, that advertising percentage will fluctuate quarter to quarter
due to seasonality and advertising availability.
Depreciation and amortization expenses
- --------------------------------------
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by approximately
$32,000, or 24.9%, to approximately $159,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
2004, from approximately $127,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.
This increase to depreciation and amortization expense for three months
ended June 30, 2004 can be attributed to increased property and equipment
additions mainly related to the warehouse expansion since the first quarter
of fiscal 2003.
Interest expense
- ----------------
Interest expense decreased by approximately $2,000, or 72.3%, to
approximately $1,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, from approximately
$3,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Interest expense may increase
in future quarters to meet demand as the Company utilizes its $5,000,000
line of credit to increase inventory levels.
Provision for income taxes
- --------------------------
The Company had incurred significant net losses since its inception in
1996, through the quarter ended June 30, 2001. These losses have resulted
in net operating loss carryforwards, which have been used by the Company to
offset its tax liabilities. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, the
Company recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred income tax
assets, created by net operating losses, since future utilization of these
assets was subject to the Company's ability to generate taxable income. For
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, the Company recognized a deferred
income tax asset of approximately $581,000, due to the fact that the Company
had demonstrated the ability to generate taxable income. There are no
guarantees that the Company will be able to utilize all future net operating
loss carryforwards unless the Company generates taxable income. For the
quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded an income tax
provision for approximately $911,000 and $715,000, respectively, to provide
for taxable income as the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards
is limited.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital at June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004 was
$13,515,000 and $11,338,000, respectively. The $2,177,000 increase in
working capital was primarily attributable to cash flow generated from
operations and the exercise of stock options. For the three months ended
June 30, 2004 net cash provided by operating activities was $1,741,000, as
compared to net cash used in operating activities of $63,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2003. Net cash used in investing activities was
$67,000 and $210,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Net cash provided by financing was $210,000 and $781,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
10
The Company maintains a $5,000,000 line of credit, effective through
August 28, 2004. The interest rate is at the published thirty day London
Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") plus 2.40% (3.73% at June 30, 2004), and
contains various financial and operating covenants. At June 30, 2004 and
2003, there was no outstanding balance under the line of credit agreement.
On July 25, 2003 the Company signed an amendment to its current lease
agreement to obtain an additional 8,000 square feet, with an option to add
another 3,600 square feet, to its current 32,000 square foot facility,
which became available on October 1, 2003. This addition to the warehouse
was necessary to increase the Company's capacity to store additional
inventory during our peak season. The Company had financed certain
equipment acquisitions with capital leases. As of June 30, 2003 the
Company had no outstanding lease commitments. The Company's sources of
working capital include the line of credit, cash from operations, and the
exercise of stock options and warrants. For the remainder of fiscal 2005,
the Company has Xapproximately $280,000 planned for capital expenditure to
maintain existing capital assets and to add additional computer equipment
to further the Company's growth. These capital expenditures will be funded
through cash from operations.
The Company presently has no need for other alternative sources of working
capital. The Company may seek to raise additional capital through the sale
of equity securities. No assurances can be given that the Company will be
successful in obtaining additional capital, or that such capital will be
available in terms acceptable to the Company. At this time, the Company has
no commitments or plans to obtain additional capital. Further, there can be
no assurances that even if such additional capital is obtained that the
Company will sustain profitability or positive cash flow.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Certain information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the words
"believes," "intends," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "plan,"
"projects," "contemplates," "intends," "budgets," "predicts," "estimates,"
"anticipates," or similar expressions. These statements are based on our
beliefs, as well as assumptions we have used based upon information
currently available to us. Because these statements reflect our current
views concerning future events, these statements involve risks,
uncertainties and assumptions. Actual future results may differ
significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the
value of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our financial
instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, line of credit, and debt obligations. The book values of cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are considered to
be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments. We estimate that the fair value of all of our debt
obligations approximate $51,000 as of June 30, 2004.
We do not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and we do
not hold any derivative financial instruments that could expose us to
significant market risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in
interest rates relates primarily to our obligations under our line of
credit. As of August 9, 2004, there was no outstanding balance under the
line of credit agreement. A ten percent increase in short-term interest
rates on the variable rate debts outstanding as of August 9, 2004 would not
have a material impact on our quarterly interest expense, assuming the
amount of debt outstanding remains constant.
The above sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk excludes accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities because of the
short-term maturity of such instruments. The analysis does not consider the
effect this movement may have on other variables including changes in revenue
volumes that could be indirectly attributed to changes in interest rates.
The actions that management would take in response to such a change are also
not considered. If it were possible to quantify this impact, the results
could well be different than the sensitivity effects shown above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined

our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded,
that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective for timely
gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information we are required to
disclose in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. There have been no significant changes made in our internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal
controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report.
