Documents Incorporated by Reference
Portions of the definitive Proxy Statement of the registrant, dated April 2,
2003, filed pursuant to Regulation 14A are incorporated by reference into Part
III.
PART I
Item 1. Business.
Wolohan Lumber Co. (the "registrant") is engaged in the retail sale of
a full-line of lumber and building materials and related products, used
primarily for new-home construction and home-improvement projects. At
March 17, 2003, the registrant operated a chain of 25 building supply
stores located in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois.
The registrant organizes its stores into two primary operating
divisions -- Wolohan and CML. Most Wolohan stores in operation today
are of the traditional "lineyard" format, well suited for the
professional customer and often providing value-added manufacturing or
installation services. The CML Division, named for Central Michigan
Lumber, acquired by the registrant in June 1998, operates with a
specialized focus on serving the project-oriented consumer through an
innovative marketing approach to sales of large-ticket projects such as
pole buildings, decks, sheds, garages, kitchens and homes. The
professional builder is also a primary customer of the CML division.
Each store provides a strong offering of quality materials, competitive
prices and expert and personal service. Each location includes a retail
sales area (with most stores having significant square footage devoted
to displays of kitchens, doors and windows and other building
materials), under-roof storage areas and an outside lumberyard area
with displays of pole barns, garages, decks and storage buildings. In
addition, the registrant has one truss plant, a specialty millwork
operation, two wall-panel facilities and several stores with
door-assembly capabilities.
The registrant sells to professional contractors and to large
project-oriented consumers. The Company estimates that at least
two-thirds of its sales were to professional contractors in 2002.
The registrant offers a wide range of services including house design,
delivery, installation, various financing options and job-site
contractor sales representatives with experienced store support
coordination.
The registrant sells more than 8,000 different products which are
purchased from approximately 270 suppliers. No supplier accounts for
more than 5% of total purchases. The registrant purchases forest
products primarily from lumber, OSB and plywood mills and the majority
of all other merchandise from original producers or manufacturers.
The business of the registrant is not dependent upon a single customer
or a few customers for any significant portion of sales.
The registrant believes that backlogs are not significant to its
business.
The registrant is engaged in only one line of business - retail sales
of lumber and building materials and related items. The classes of
products include dimension lumber; OSB; sheathing plywood; building
materials; building hardware; doors and windows; kitchen cabinets;
trusses and components; storage barns; and other forest products, such
as fencing and treated lumber.
The business of the registrant is highly competitive, and it encounters
competition from both national and regional chains and from local
independent merchants. Because of the variety of competition faced by
the registrant and the wide range of products it sells, it is virtually
impossible to determine the registrant's competitive position in the
markets it serves.
The registrant holds no material patents, trademarks, licenses,
franchises or concessions.
1
The registrant's business, like the overall retail lumber business,
generally is subject to seasonal influences. The second and third
quarters are generally the periods of highest sales volumes while the
first quarter is usually the period of lowest sales volume.
During 2002 the registrant closed five stores which it had identified
in 2001 as not meeting the financial objectives identified in the
registrant's strategic profit model and accrued closing costs with
respect thereto in 2001.
The registrant had approximately 654 full-time employees at December
31, 2002.
To the best of the registrant's knowledge, it is in compliance with all
federal, state and local environmental protection provisions.
The registrant maintains an internet website at www.wolohan.com. The
registrant makes available on or through its website, free of charge,
its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current
reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 as soon as reasonably practical after the registrant
electronically files such material with, or furnishes it to, the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 2. Properties.
Administrative offices are maintained in St. Johns, Michigan to support
all operating units. The offices consist of a 4,400-square-foot
one-story building and another 2,600 square feet of office space
located above the registrant's retail store in St. Johns, Michigan. The
registrant also owns and occupies, with minimal staffing, a
28,000-square-foot, two-story brick face building situated on three
acres of land in Saginaw, Michigan.
As of March 3, 2003, the registrant operated 25 building supply stores
in the states of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois. The
showroom selling space in the stores averages 18,000 square feet. In
addition, total warehouse and storage space (under roof) ranges in size
from 14,000 square feet to 66,000 square feet (average of 30,000 square
feet).
All of the building supply stores are owned in fee by the registrant.
The registrant believes that all of its building supply stores and the
display, warehouse and storage facilities and equipment located thereon
are well maintained and adequate for the purpose for which they are
used. A fleet of approximately 192 trucks is owned by the registrant
for the delivery of its retail merchandise.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Various lawsuits arising during the normal course of business are
pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
liability, if any, resulting from these matters will have no
significant effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or
financial position.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Not applicable.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Certain information contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this report may
be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to the Act's safe
harbor provisions. These statements are based on current expectations and
involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ
materially from the results expressed in forward-looking statements. Factors
that might cause such a difference include: fluctuations in customer demand and
spending, expectations of future volumes and prices for the Company's products,
prevailing economic conditions affecting the retail lumber and building
materials markets and seasonality of operating results and other factors,
including risk factors, referred to from time to time in filings made by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no
obligation to update or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial
condition are based on the Company's financial statements that have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities. The Company bases these estimates on historical results and
various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form
the basis for making estimates concerning the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results
may differ from these estimates.
The Company's significant accounting polices are described in Note A to the
consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the following
accounting policies affect the more significant estimates used in preparing the
consolidated financial statements.
The Company records an inventory reserve for the estimated shrinkage between
physical inventories. This reserve is based primarily on actual shrink results
from previous physical inventories. Changes in actual shrink results from
completed physical inventories could result in revisions to previously recorded
shrink expense. The Company also records an inventory reserve for the loss
associated with selling discontinued inventories at below cost. This reserve is
based on management's current knowledge with respect to inventory levels and
historical experience relating to the liquidation of discontinued inventories.
Management does not believe the Company's merchandise inventories are subject to
significant risk of obsolescence.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts related to trade
receivables by providing for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to
earnings and a credit to the allowance. Management assesses the current status
of individual accounts on a quarterly basis and makes adjustments to the
allowance as a result of this assessment. Balances that are still outstanding
after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through
a charge to the allowance.
The Company records a reserve for store closing costs in the period management
identifies such stores for closing. Costs accrued for include: costs to
liquidate remaining inventory, expensing of future lease payments on long-term
leases, writing off leasehold improvements, severance
F-4
payments and certain other ongoing fixed costs. Management reviews on a
quarterly basis the balance of the reserve for each closed store and makes
appropriate adjustments based on the expected months remaining until each closed
store is disposed of.
Management believes it has sufficient current and historical knowledge to record
reasonable estimates for its inventory reserves, allowance for uncollectible
trade receivables and store closing reserve.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income in 2002 totaled $3.4 million ($1.63 per share), compared with $4.8
million ($1.61 per share) in 2001. On a diluted basis, earnings per share were
$1.49 in 2002, compared with $1.53 in 2001.
Significant items affecting net income in 2002 compared with the prior year
included: (1) Gains on sale of real estate properties of $1.0 million in 2002,
compared with $2.6 million recorded in 2001. (2) A LIFO credit resulting in
increased gross margin dollars of $0.9 million in 2002, compared with a LIFO
credit of $1.2 million in 2001. (3) Store closing costs, a portion of which were
charged to cost of sales in 2001, totaled $0.5 million in 2002, compared with
$3.8 million in 2001.
Earnings per share for 2002 and 2001 were positively impacted by a reduction in
shares outstanding due to the Company's share repurchases, primarily through two
tender offers, completed in the third quarter of 2001 and the fourth quarter of
2000. Average shares outstanding were 30-percent lower for 2002, compared with
2001 and 37-percent lower for 2001, compared with 2000.
Net income in 2001 improved to $4.8 million from $1.6 million in 2000. The
improvement in 2001 net income resulted primarily from a reduction in the
operating expense ratio and a slight improvement in gross margin percentage,
which more than offset lower sales volume. Other significant items affecting net
income in 2001 compared with the prior year included: (1) Gains on sale of real
estate properties of $2.6 million in 2001, compared with $0.8 million recorded
in 2000. (2) A LIFO credit resulting in increased gross margin dollars of $1.2
million in 2001, compared with a LIFO credit of $3.5 million in 2000. (3) Store
closing costs, a portion of which were charged to cost of sales, totaled $3.8
million in 2001, compared with $5.0 million in 2000.
Sales of $197.6 million in 2002 were 18 percent lower than 2001 sales of $239.9
million, which were 24 percent lower than 2000 sales of $315.0 million.
Comparable-store sales declined 5 percent in both 2002 and 2001, compared with
the prior year. Price deflation in lumber and structural panel products,
strategic product changes and a lower store count negatively impacted sales in
both 2002 and 2001, compared with the prior year. The Company estimates that at
least two-thirds of its sales were to the professional contractor in 2002, 2001
and 2000.
The gross profit margin in 2002 was 23.7 percent, compared with 24.3 percent in
2001 and 24.2 percent in 2000. Gross profit margin included a LIFO credit of
$0.9 million, $1.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for 2002, 2001 and
2000. The LIFO credit in both 2002 and 2001 was due primarily to lower inventory
levels resulting from reduced store count and product-line eliminations. The
significant LIFO credit in 2000 was due to deflation in lumber and panel costs
and lower inventory levels. The gross profit margin in 2002, excluding the
provision for LIFO, was 23.2 percent, compared to 23.8 percent in 2001 and 23.1
percent in 2000.
F-5
Other operating income, which results primarily from finance charges related to
receivables, rental income and gains from sale of excess equipment, totaled $2.4
million in 2002, $3.0 million in 2001 and $2.9 million in 2000.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (excluding store-closing costs)
declined 15 percent in 2002 to $40.1 million from $47.1 million in 2001 and
$66.9 million in 2000, resulting in an expense factor of 20.3 percent of sales
in 2002, compared with 19.6 percent and 21.2 percent in 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The higher 2002 expense factor, compared with 2001, includes costs
related to completing the conversion to one computer system for all stores,
costs to complete the transition of all corporate administrative functions to
one office and higher costs for health insurance. The lower 2001 expense factor,
compared with 2000 was primarily due to significantly decreased bad debt
expense, improved labor productivity and elimination of unnecessary expenses.
The closing of five stores in 2002 resulted in costs of approximately $0.5
million, compared with $3.8 million recorded in 2001 resulting from the closing
of ten stores in 2001 and the identification of five additional stores to be
closed or consolidated with other stores in 2002. In 2000, $5.0 million of
closing costs were recorded from the closing of eight stores in 2000 and the
identification of six additional stores to be closed in 2001. Store closing
costs are accrued in the period management identifies such stores for closing.
The portion of the closing costs related to the loss on the sale of inventory
($0.4 million in 2001 and $2.0 million in 2000) was charged to cost of sales.
The closing costs in all three years were primarily related to liquidating
inventories, expensing portions of future lease payments on long-term leases,
writing off leasehold improvements, severance payments and certain other ongoing
fixed costs. The Company will continue to evaluate store performances in terms
of meeting minimum return-on-investment criteria, and additional store closings
may result from this ongoing review.
Excluding store-closing costs, the total operating expense factor for 2002 was
22.6 percent of sales, compared with 22.2 percent in 2001 and 23.6 percent in
2000. Depreciation and amortization in 2002 decreased 25 percent to $4.6 million
from $6.2 million in 2001, which had been lowered 16 percent from $7.3 million
in 2000.
Other income and expenses netted to income of $1.1 million in 2002, compared
with income of $2.6 million and $0.5 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The
decrease in 2002 versus 2001, was due primarily to lower gains on sale of
properties recorded in 2002. Gains on property sales totaled $1.0 million in
2002, compared with $2.6 million and $0.8 million for 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Interest expense of $0.1 million was 80 percent lower than
interest expense of $0.4 million in 2001, which in turn was 63 percent lower
than interest expense of $1.2 million in 2000. The decreases reflect the
reductions made in long-term debt.
The effective federal income tax rate was 34.3 percent in 2002, compared with
34.2 percent in 2001 and 34.0 percent in 2000.
FINANCIAL CONDITION - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $12.1 million at year-end 2002, compared with
$4.8 million at year-end 2001. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled
$7.6 million in 2002, compared with $17.6 million in 2001. The decrease in net
cash from operations in 2002, compared with 2001, was primarily a result of
lower accrued expenses relating to closed store reserves and income taxes
payable, some pre-season inventory purchases and lower net income. The decrease
in net cash from operations in 2001 was primarily a result of stronger charge
sales activity during the fourth quarter of 2001, compared with 2000, which
increased the balance of trade receivables
F-6
at year-end 2001, compared with 2000. Both years reflect the Company's
aggressive collection efforts of customer receivables and reductions made in
store count during the year. Lower inventory levels in both 2002 and 2001 are
the result of reductions in store count and progress made in reducing
non-strategic inventory at existing operations.
Investing activities provided net cash of $0.7 million in 2002, compared with
cash provided by investing activities of $17.0 million in 2001. The decrease in
cash from investing activities in 2002, compared with 2001, reflects no
certificate of deposit activity in 2002 compared with a maturity of $10.0
million in 2001, $5.5 million less in proceeds from property sales and $0.7
million more in capital expenditures. The increase in cash from investing
activities in 2001 was due to the maturities of $10 million in certificates of
deposit, $4.4 million less in capital expenditures and $3.4 million more in
proceeds from property sales.
Financing activities used net cash of $1.0 million in 2002 and included $2.1
million for payments on long-term debt, $0.7 million to purchase approximately
36,000 shares of Company common stock at an average price of $19.78 per share
and $0.6 million for dividend payments, offset in part, by short-term bank
borrowings of $1.5 million and $0.9 million of proceeds from the exercise of
stock options. In 2001, net cash used in financing activities totaled $31.5
million and included $10.2 million for payments on long-term debt, $1.0 million
for dividend payments and $20.4 million used to repurchase 1,392,000 shares of
Company common stock at an average price of $14.63 per share. The stock
repurchased in 2001 included 1.3 million shares acquired in a stock tender offer
at a price of $15 per share. The Company has repurchased 5.0 million shares
since Jan. 1, 1998 at an average price of $12.80 per share. The book value per
share has increased to $31.40 at Dec. 31, 2002 from $22.95 per share at year-end
2000. The Company may continue to make open market purchases of its stock from
time to time.
The Company has $25 million available in lines of credit arrangements for
short-term debt. Borrowings of $1.5 million were outstanding at year-end 2002,
compared with no outstanding balance at year-end 2001.
Working capital was $28.7 million at the end of 2002, compared with $20.5
million at year-end 2001. The Company expects that net cash provided from
operating activities and available lines of credit will be adequate to meet
future needs for working capital and capital expenditures for 2003.
The Company had virtually no long-term debt, net of current portion, in either
2002 or 2001.
Capital expenditures totaled $2.2 million in 2002 and consisted primarily of the
expansion of an existing facility to include a new showroom, an enlarged
lumberyard area and improvements to increase capabilities for wall-panelization,
roof trusses and millwork, and replacements and additions of equipment at
existing stores. Capital expenditures to support existing stores are expected to
approximate $1.4 million in 2003. Capital expenditures have totaled $23.6
million over the last 5 years.
Invested capital (long-term debt and shareowners' equity) was 80 percent of
total assets at year-end 2002 and 74 percent at year-end 2001. Shareowners'
equity has been the principal financing factor over the years and accounted for
100 percent of invested capital at year-end 2002.
EFFECT OF INFLATION
The Company does not measure precisely the effect of inflation on its
operations; however, it does not believe inflation had a material effect on
sales or results of operations.
F-7
ENVIRONMENTAL
The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the
environment. While it is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential
impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly any future
remediation and other compliance effects, in the opinion of management,
compliance with the present environmental-protection laws will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company or on
operating results or cash flows in any one year.
OUTLOOK
Wolohan Lumber Co. enters 2003 prepared to implement strategies designed to
improve market share to its core customers: professional home builders and
project-oriented consumers. Such strategies include ongoing initiatives to
increase the efficiency and volume of sales made from existing value-added
manufacturing facilities or due to existing offerings of value-added services
such as installation, estimating and design, and specialized delivery. The
Company will also place renewed focus on sales training and marketing, both
important aspects of achieving growth in project sales. The Company will
emphasize continued improvement in expense control as well, and expects added
efficiencies created by its implementation of a common computer platform
throughout all stores to assist in achieving this goal.
The Company expects to maintain its traditionally strong balance sheet in 2003
through its annual efforts at inventory management, accounts receivable review
and collection, and responsible cash management. Strategies targeted at
continuing the Company's track record of effectively liquidating or leasing idle
properties will further improve the Company's liquidity and strengthen its
balance sheet.

WOLOHAN LUMBER CO.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A--NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS. Wolohan Lumber Co. ("WLC"), together with its
wholly-owned subsidiaries Wolohan Lumber Co., LLC and Wolohan Lumber Co. of
Michigan, LLC, (collectively the "Company"), is engaged in the retail sale of a
full line of lumber and building materials and related merchandise through a
chain of 25 (30 in 2001 and 40 in 2000) building supply stores operated in
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois. The stores operate primarily
under the names Wolohan Lumber or CML.
The Company sells to professional contractors and large
project-oriented consumers. The volume of residential construction and large
project purchases can be volatile and is highly dependent on general economic
conditions. A significant decrease in residential construction could have an
adverse effect on the Company's operating results.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements of the
Company include the accounts of WLC and its subsidiaries after elimination of
significant intercompany accounts and transactions.
USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include but are not
limited to the allowance for bad debts, allowance for obsolete inventory,
self-insured medical and workers' compensation accruals, carrying values and
recovery period of intangible assets and fair value less cost to sell of
held-for-sale properties. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK. Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to significant concentrations of credit and other financial risk
consist principally of cash investments and trade receivables.
The Company invests its available cash in deposits with a local bank,
money market accounts and tax-exempt securities through a brokerage company.
Cash balances held at financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. Bank balances at December 31, 2002 exceed
this insured limit by approximately $871,000. Investments held by a brokerage
company consist of triple-A-rated tax-exempt securities. Each of these
investments is further supported by private insurance or collateral.
The Company grants credit in the normal course of business related to
product sales. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables
from product sales are limited because of the large number of businesses and
individual customers comprising the Company's customer base. The Company's
receivables are primarily from professional contractors.
F-15
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Cash equivalents consist principally of demand deposits in banks, money market
funds and short-term tax exempt securities.
TRADE RECEIVABLES. Trade receivables are stated at the amount management expects
to collect from outstanding balances. Generally, no collateral is required to
support trade receivables; in certain circumstances the Company files liens to
protect its interest in certain accounts. Accounts are considered delinquent
when not paid in accordance with payment terms. Management provides for probable
uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation
allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts.
Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable
collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance
and a credit to trade receivables.
INVENTORIES. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the
last-in, first-out method ("LIFO"), or market. Current cost exceeded the LIFO
value of inventories by approximately $7,231,000 at December 31, 2002 and
$8,168,000 at December 31, 2001. The liquidation of certain LIFO layers
decreased cost of sales and increased pre-tax income by $884,000, $1,395,000 and
$637,000 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
PROPERTIES. Properties are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on the
straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the property. Management
reviews these assets quarterly to determine whether carrying values have been
impaired.
PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE. Properties held for sale are stated at the lower of
cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell and consists of land, buildings
and building improvements.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for
impairment at least annually. As of December 31, 2002 the Company has
unamortized goodwill of approximately $2,773,000. Other intangible assets, which
consist of customer lists and the trained employee work force, have been
amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected lives, which is
approximately 5 years. Amortization of intangible assets reported in 2001 and
2000 was approximately $105,000 in each year. The Company evaluates intangible
assets for impairment on an annual basis.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Revenues are generally recognized when product ordered by
the customer is either delivered to the customer or when the customer picks up
the product at one of the Company's retail locations. Accruals for customer
discounts and rebates are provided when sales are recognized.
INCOME TAXES. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually
for differences between the financial statement and federal income tax basis of
assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the
future, based on enacted tax laws and rates
F-16
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect
taxable income. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary basis differences
principally related to inventory, store closings and properties. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or
refundable for the year plus or minus the change during the year in deferred tax
assets and liabilities.
ADVERTISING EXPENSES. The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. The
Company incurred $1,203,000, $1,132,000 and $1,254,000 in advertising costs
during 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
EARNINGS PER SHARE. Earnings-per-share information is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding for the year. The effect of the assumed
issuance of the performance-based incentive share awards and the assumed
exercise of outstanding stock options is presented in the following table. This
table presents a reconciliation of the denominator used in the calculation of
basic net income per share and net income per share assuming dilution:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(in thousands) 2002 2001 2000
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted average number
of common shares outstanding
used for basic calculation 2,080 2,971 4,752
Dilutive effect of assumed

and exercise of options 200 138 97
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of shares outstanding
assuming dilution 2,280 3,109 4,849
=======================================================================
Exercisable stock options not included in the computation of diluted
EPS because the option prices were greater than the average monthly market
prices totaled 3,000, 154,000, and 298,000 shares, respectively, for 2002, 2001
and 2000. The exercise price for these shares averaged $23.05, $12.63 and $12.88
for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In April 2002, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 145. SFAS No. 145 requires that gains and losses from
extinguishment of debt be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet
the criteria defined in APB Opinion No. 30 which are that the event or
transaction is both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence. Events
considered unusual should have a high degree of abnormality and be clearly
unrelated to the Company's normal operations and infrequency is defined as not
expected to recur in the foreseeable future. It is not expected that provisions
of SFAS No. 145 will have a material impact on the financial position or results
of operations of the Company.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", which is effective for exit or
disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. This Statement
addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issues No.
94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other
Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring)". SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated
with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred.
Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was
F-17
recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The Company is
currently evaluating the effects of adopting SFAS No. 146 and cannot predict
whether or not its provisions will have a material impact on its financial
position or results of operations.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45),
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others", which addresses the disclosure
to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about
its obligations under guarantees. FIN 45 requires the guarantor to recognize a
liability for the non-contingent component of the guarantee, this is the
obligation to stand ready to perform in the event that specified triggering
events or conditions occur. The initial measurement of this liability is the
fair value of the guarantee at inception. The recognition of the liability is
required even if it is not probable that payments will be required under the
guarantee or if the guarantee was issued with a premium payment or as part of a
transaction with multiple events. The initial recognition and measurement
provisions are effective for all guarantees within the scope of FIN 45 issued or
modified after December 31, 2002. Adoption of this Interpretation is not
expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- an amendment of FASB Statement No.
123", which is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2002. This
statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to
provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In
addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to
require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements
about the method of accounting for stock based employee compensation and the
effect of the method used on reported results. The Company is currently
evaluating the effects of voluntarily adopting this statement but does not
believe the provisions, if adopted, will have a material impact on its financial
position or results of operations.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The carrying amounts of financial
instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet approximate their
fair values.
RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain amounts as originally reported in the 2001 and 2000
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.

NOTE C--SHAREOWNERS' EQUITY AND RELATED MATTERS
The Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan was established to enable key
employees to participate in the future growth and profitability of the Company
by offering them long-term performance-based incentive compensation through
issuance of stock options and performance share awards, which are vested based
on achievement of performance goals. Performance shares awarded are earned and
vested at the rate of 20% per year and become issuable 10 years after the date
of award. No performance shares were awarded during 2002 and 2001 (17,300 shares
were awarded in 2000 at a weighted average fair value of $10.75 per share). At
December 31, 2002, there were 51,260 performance shares awarded but unissued, of
which 21,710 shares are vested.
The Company also has a stock option plan for non-employee directors in
addition to the options available under the Long-Term Incentive Plan for key
employees. The following table summarizes information about all stock option
transactions:

The number of shares exercisable were 117,720, 147,600, and 154,000 as
of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The fair value of options
granted was $10.19, $2.83 and $2.89 per share in 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively: dividend yield of 1.2, 2.7 and 2.8 percent; expected volatility of
35, 25 and 24 percent; risk-free interest rates of 3.9, 4.9 and 5.3 percent and
expected lives of 10 years for all years.

======================================================================================================================
All options expire 10 years after the date of grant. As of December 31,
2002, there are 191,000 shares reserved for future issuance under the Long-Term
Incentive Plan and 21,000 shares reserved for future issuance under the stock
option plan for non-employee directors.
Holders of common shares received a distribution of one right for each
common share held on February 16, 2000. The rights become exercisable ten days
after a person or group acquires or commences a tender or exchange offer that
could result in the acquisition of 20% or more of the Company's common shares
(except pursuant to an offer for all shares determined by the non-officer
Directors to be fair and in the best interest of the Company and its
shareowners). The rights also become exercisable 10 days after an acquisition of
20% or more of the Company's common shares by a person or group deemed by the
Board of Directors to have interests adverse to those of the Company and its
shareowners. Each right would, subject to certain adjustments and alternatives,
entitle the rightholder to purchase common shares of the Company having a market
value of $50 based on a price per share equal to 50% of the then fair market
value of the shares. The rights are nonvoting, may generally be redeemed by the
Company at a price of 1 cent per right and expire on February 15, 2010. The
Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept
available out of its authorized and unissued shares of common stock the number
of shares of common stock that, as provided in the Rights Agreement, will be
sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding rights.
The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees", and accordingly, because the exercise price does not exceed the fair
value on the date of grant, stock options do not constitute compensation expense
in the determination of net income. Had stock option compensation expense been
determined pursuant to the methodology provided in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the
proforma effect on results of operations would have been a reduction in net
income of $89,000 or 4 cents per common share in 2002, a reduction in net income
of $106,000 or 3 cents per share in 2001 and a reduction in net income of
$84,000 or 1 cent per share in 2000.
On August 7, 2001, the Company announced its intention to repurchase up
to 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock through a self-tender offer at
a price of $15 per share. The tender offer was concluded on September 21, 2001,
with the purchase of 1,258,307 shares.
F-20
On November 9, 2000, the Company announced its intention to purchase up to
1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to a Dutch auction
self-tender offer at a price range of $10 to $12 per share. The Dutch auction
was concluded on December 15, 2000, with the purchase of 1,189,113 shares at a
price of $12 per share. The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to
repurchase from time to time on the open market up to 2,500,000 shares
(excluding the two tender offers) of the Company's common stock. Shares
repurchased on the open market totaled 36,354 shares at prices ranging from
$19.75 to $20.63 in 2002, 133,692 shares at prices ranging from $10 to $19.25 in
2001, and 464,598 shares at prices ranging from $9.75 to $13 in 2000.
NOTE D--DEBT AND LEASE TRANSACTIONS
The Company has available, under revolving lines-of-credit arrangements
with two banks, $25 million in unsecured short-term borrowings. The interest
rate applicable when drawing against these lines is dependent upon a variety of
formulas which utilize different money rate pricing indexes. In no case does the
interest rate exceed the Prime Rate and there are no commitment fees. The terms
of these credit arrangements are reviewed and generally renewed annually. At
December 31, 2002, $1.5 million was outstanding under these arrangements (no
borrowings were outstanding at year-end 2001). The Company also has an unused
letter of credit in the amount of $1.3 million related to liability coverage.
Long-term debt consisted of the following obligations at December 31:

and $6,000 in 2007.
The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under various
operating leases which expire at various dates through 2009. Lease expense for
such facilities and equipment totaled approximately $114,000 in 2002, $305,000
in 2001, and $402,000 in 2000. Future minimum lease payments for each of the
next five years approximate $121,000 and aggregate $252,000 thereafter.

NOTE F--STORE-CLOSINGS AND SALES
During 2002, the Company closed five stores which it had identified and
had accrued closing costs in 2001. Closing costs associated with these stores
approximated $511,000 in 2002. The closing costs were primarily related to
liquidating inventory, severance payments and absorbing certain other ongoing
fixed costs. Closing costs in 2001 approximated $3.8 million, including $400,000
recorded as a charge to cost of sales, resulting from the closing of ten stores
in 2001 and the identification of five additional stores to be closed in 2002.
Closing costs in
F-22
2000 approximated $5.0 million, including $2.1 million recorded as a charge to
cost of sales, resulting from the closing of eight stores in 2000 and the
identification of six additional stores to be closed in 2001. Store closing
costs are accrued in the period management identifies such stores for closing.
Real estate owned related to closed stores is held for sale or lease and
included with properties held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.
NOTE G--CASH-BASED EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings and profit sharing plan
under which eligible employees may contribute up to the maximum allowed under
the internal revenue code. The Company matches the employees' contribution up to
1/3 of the first 6% of eligible wages. In addition, eligible employees receive a
Company contribution equal to 3% of wages. Profit-sharing contributions
approximated $523,000, $481,000 and $722,000 for 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and contributions to the 401(k) plan were approximately $252,000,
$289,000 and $386,000 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
NOTE H--CONTINGENCIES
Various lawsuits arising during the normal course of business are
pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, based upon discussion
with legal counsel, the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from these matters
will have no significant effect on the Company's consolidated results of
operations, liquidity or financial position.
