CATALINA MARKETING CORPORATION
Note 1. Description of the Business and Basis for Presentation
Description of the Business. Catalina Marketing Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (the Company), provides behavior-based communications, developed and distributed for consumer packaged goods manufacturers, pharmaceutical manufacturers and marketers, and retailers. The Companys primary business initially was developed to provide consumers with in-store coupons delivered based upon purchase behavior and distributed primarily in supermarkets. Today, the Company offers behavior-based, targeted-marketing services and programs globally through a variety of distribution channels. These marketing solutions, including discount coupons, loyalty marketing programs, pharmacist and patient education newsletters, compliance mailings, pharmacy counter mats, attitudinal research programs, sampling, advertising, in-store instant-win games and other consumer communications, are delivered directly to shoppers by various means. By specifying how a particular consumer transaction will trigger a promotion to print, manufacturers and retailers can deliver customized incentives and messages to only the consumers they wish to reach. The Company tracks actual purchase behavior and primarily uses Universal Product Code-based scanner technology to target consumers at the checkout counter and National Drug Code information to trigger delivery of a customized communication to consumers during pharmacy prescription checkout transactions.
The Company is organized and managed by segments which include the following operations: Manufacturer Services, Catalina Health Resource (CHR), the international operations, which includes manufacturer services similar to those services provided in the United States (International), Retail Services, Japan Billboard, a billboard and outdoor media business operated in Japan (Japan Billboard), Direct Marketing Services (DMS) and Catalina Marketing Research Solutions (CMRS). The domestic operations of the Company include Manufacturer Services, CHR, Retail Services, DMS and CMRS. The international operations of the Company are organized and managed by country and include International and Japan Billboard. In November 2003, the Company announced its intent to divest of DMS, CMRS and Japan Billboard which were deemed not to be strategically aligned with the Companys current core competencies. See further discussion in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 15, 2004.
Manufacturer Services serves the needs of domestic consumer product manufacturers, primarily within the consumer packaged goods industry. Using the Catalina Marketing Network®, this operating segment specializes in behavior-based marketing communications that are delivered at the point-of-sale. The primary service line of the Catalina Marketing Network® is the in-store delivery of promotions at the checkout lane of a retailer, typically a supermarket. Catalina Marketing links its proprietary software, computers, central databases and thermal printers with a retailers point-of-sale controllers and scanners. The network prints customized promotions at the point-of-sale based on product Universal Product Codes or other scanned information. The printed promotions are handed to consumers by the cashier at the end of the shopping transaction.
CHRs services allow pharmaceutical and consumer packaged goods manufacturers, as well as retail pharmacies, to provide consumers with condition-specific health information and direct-to-patient communications. CHRs primary product offerings use an in-store, prescription-based targeting technology to provide targeted, direct-to-patient communications on behalf of the Companys clients. These communication services include messages and educational information to healthcare patients at the pharmacy level throughout the Health Resource Network. The Health Resource Network is a proprietary software system with built-in targeted response capabilities. Communications are primarily delivered to patients based on prescription medications purchased which are identified by a National Drug Code symbol. Clients are able to use these communications to provide information on a wide variety of products such as over-the-counter medicines, prescription medication and other healthcare remedies and merchandise. Communications provide clinically appropriate information while maintaining patient privacy.
International operations include in-store electronic targeted marketing services for consumers in France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Japan. The Catalina Marketing Network® operates internationally in a similar manner as the domestic business. International offers a full range of targeted marketing solutions to consumer packaged goods manufacturers and enjoys relationships with major supermarket, hypermarket and other retailers. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company expanded its behavior-based targeted marketing capabilities in Europe by launching a pilot test in Germany.
Japan Billboard is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that operates a billboard and outdoor media business in Japan. Japan Billboard primarily owns and rents billboards which are displayed on rooftops or faces of
7
buildings in locations suitable for advertising. Advertising is sold either directly to a broad range of clients across multiple industries or through advertising agencies. In general, billboards are designed by and produced under the supervision of Japan Billboard. Upon completion and installation, the billboards are financed through third-party financing companies. Japan Billboard is required to make rental payments to building owners for the space on the rooftops and faces of buildings where the billboards are installed. Japan Billboard provides the maintenance for its billboards during the life of the applicable contract which generally ranges from three to five years.
DMS provides services designed to reach consumers in their homes. DMS analyzes frequent shopper databases and identifies consumer lifestyle changes to develop strategic programs that meet multiple objectives for both brand manufacturers and retailers. These targeted direct mail programs are based on actual purchase behavior or consumer lifestyle changes. DMS provides services which enable manufacturers and retailers to influence the purchase patterns of targeted customers based on their actual purchase behavior and history. Clients use these services to support new product launches and line extensions, build loyalty to a brand and deliver timely messages to consumers.
The Companys Other segment includes Retail Services and CMRS. Retail Services provides innovative marketing solutions to retail chains nationwide and supports and maintains the Catalina Marketing Network® used by Manufacturer Services. CMRS provides a wide range of traditional marketing research services, including tracking studies and customer satisfaction surveys, as well as proprietary research products that take advantage of behavioral data gathered throughout the Catalina Marketing Network®.
Previously Filed Financial Statements for Fiscal Years 2003, 2002 and 2001. We filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 on May 17, 2004. In addition to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, the filing included audited restatements of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 and unaudited restatements of information for the quarters ended June 30, 2002, September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2002. Please refer to such filing for additional information regarding the background of such restatements and the content and effect of the changes included in the restated financial statements. See Note 4.
Delay in Filing Our Annual Report and Quarterly Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004. In June 2004, we announced our intent to delay the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. In addition, the Company was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2003, September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003, in a timely manner. As required, Catalina filed notifications of late filing with the SEC under Rule 12b-25 for these filings. The Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2004 on July 15, 2004. This filing was delayed because of the significant time and resources required to file the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2003, which was filed on May 17, 2004.
The Company is filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 today and expects to file a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003 for fiscal year 2004 as soon as practical. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 is delinquent and is being filed after the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This filing should not be confused with any report on Form 10-Q for a quarterly period of the Companys fiscal year ending March 31, 2005. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, filed with the SEC on May 17, 2004, and the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, filed with the SEC on July 15, 2004.
In this Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2003, words such as today, current or currently, or phrases such as as of the date hereof or as of the date of this report, refer to the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC.
Basis of Presentation. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, except as disclosed herein, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2003, the results of its operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its changes in stockholders equity for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 have been included.
8
The balance sheet at March 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that were reported for the remainder of the year ended March 31, 2004.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly- owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of a variable interest entity from which the Company leases its headquarters facility in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of this entity and, thus, has included the accounts of this entity in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Interpretation (FIN) No. 46 (revised 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest EntitiesAn Interpretation of ARB No. 51. The accounts of the wholly and majority owned foreign subsidiaries are included on a three-month lag, to facilitate the timing of the Companys closing process.
Note 2. Stock Based Compensation
The Company applies the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation plans. Additionally, the Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, which amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 148 allows for the continued use of the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for those plans. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions to stock-based employee compensation. Such disclosure is not necessarily indicative of the fair value of stock options that could be granted by the Company in future fiscal years or of the value of all options currently outstanding. The pro forma results were calculated with the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Had compensation expense for these plans been recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Companys net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share data):
Three Months Ended June 30, |
||||||||

Pro forma amounts include $0.4 million related to the purchase discount offered under the Purchase Plan for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.
During the three months ended June 30, 2003, certain of the Companys executives left the Company prior to exercising their options and, as a result, any unexercised options have been forfeited. The pro forma compensation expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 shown in the table above includes a reversal of previously reported pro forma compensation expense of $3.9 million, net of a tax benefit of $2.4 million, related to these forfeited options.

Note 3. Accounting Standards Adopted During the Three Months Ended June 30, 2003
SFAS No. 143. On April 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which requires the recognition of the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets when there is a legal obligation to incur such costs. Upon initial recognition of a liability, the cost is capitalized as part of the related asset and depreciated over the corresponding assets useful life.
Upon adoption, the Company recorded a net increase in property and equipment of $0.7 million and recognized an asset retirement obligation of $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. This resulted in the recognition of a non-cash charge of $0.8 million, net of an income tax benefit of $0.6 million, which is reported as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. The effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 143 is associated with Japan Billboards contractual obligation to remove certain billboards upon termination or cancellation of the related financing agreement.
If SFAS No. 143 had been adopted on April 1, 2001, the liabilities recorded on the Companys consolidated balance sheets would have been $2.0 million, $1.8 million and $2.0 million higher as of April 1, 2001, March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003, respectively. The pro forma effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 143 on the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was not material.
Reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of asset retirement obligation is as follows (in thousands):
Balance as of April 1, 2003 |
$ | 2,048 | ||
Liabilities recorded for billboards newly installed |
18 | |||
Reduction in liabilities for billboards removed |
(77 | ) | ||
Accretion expense |
11 | |||
Currency translation adjustment |
2 | |||
Balance as of June 30, 2003 |
$ | 2,002 | ||
SFAS No. 150. 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 for how a company classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity in its balance sheet. It requires that a company classify a financial instrument that is within the standards scope as a liability or as an asset in some circumstances. Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and, for financial instruments entered into prior to May 31, 2003, it is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this Statement by the Company did not have a material effect on its operating results, financial position or cash flows.

Note 4. Restatement of Quarterly Financial Statement Information
As discussed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2003, in Notes 3 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements included therein, the Company restated its financial statements for each of the quarters for fiscal year 2003 to reflect corrections primarily related to the timing of the recognition of certain revenues and adjustments to costs and expenses. The following table compares the restated results of operations of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2002 with those amounts originally reported on Form 10-Q for that period (in thousands, except per share information).

Note 8. Stock Repurchases
During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company repurchased 749,200 shares of its common stock for a total of $13.3 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company repurchased 867,900 shares of its common stock for a total of $27.8 million.
Note 9. Subsequent Event
A sales and use tax audit for the period January 1, 1991 to June 30, 1993 was conducted by a state taxing authority resulting in an assessment of sales tax on the Companys revenue generated from its electronic marketing delivery service conducted within that state. We subsequently appealed this assessment of the relevant state tax tribunal. The tax tribunal held that our electronic marketing delivery activities were taxable in their entirety. In March 2002, the states intermediate court of appeals affirmed the decision of the tax tribunal. We appealed the case to the states supreme court and, in May 2004, the state supreme court vacated the prior decision, remanded the case back to the tax tribunal and directed the tax tribunal to apply a different legal test. In July 2004, the states tax tribunal ruled in favor of the Company; however, the decision of the states tax tribunal is subject to review by the state supreme court and is not final. As of the current date, the Company does not yet know the final outcome of the case. A favorable decision could result in the reversal of a liability of approximately $4.4 million, which is the amount of the liability the Company has recognized as of the current date. If an adverse decision is reached in this case, we do not believe that the tax assessment will result in a material charge to the Companys financial statements; however, we may become subject to similar proceedings in other jurisdictions and additional tax assessments resulting from those proceedings could be material to the Company.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following table includes the revenues, operating profit (loss) and net income (loss) for each of the Companys significant reportable segments for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2002. Dollars are in thousands. The accounts of our wholly and majority owned foreign subsidiaries are included for the three months ended March 31, which is the end of their first fiscal quarter.
In general, we expect our revenues to be higher during periods of increased promotional activity by manufacturers. The pattern of promotion distribution is irregular and may change from period to period depending on various factors, including the economy, competition, the timing of new product introductions and the timing of manufacturers promotion planning and implementation. In addition, this pattern may be affected by seasonal factors such as holiday-related promotion, seasonal product advertising and annual budgeting processes affecting when our clients use promotional and consumer-related expenditure budgets. The seasonality of our international operations may be different than that of our domestic operations for many reasons, but the impact of seasonality on our reporting may also be affected by the difference in fiscal years. These factors, as well as the overall growth in the number of retailer and manufacturer contracts with the Company, the timing of growth of the installed store base and access to revenue producing transactions, may impact our revenues and profits in any particular period. See Note 7 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 for additional segment information. Results of operations are discussed for each of our significant operating segments.

Consolidated Results of Operations
Consolidated revenues of $102.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were relatively unchanged as compared with consolidated revenues of $102.3 million the three months ended June 30, 2002. Consolidated operating profit decreased $4.1 million to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with consolidated operating profit of $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Consolidated net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 decreased to $4.3 million compared with $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. See Segment Results below for a discussion of the comparative period changes.
The consolidated provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2003 of $3.1 million increased to 38.5% of income before income taxes compared with the consolidated provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2002 of $4.2 million, or 38.2% of income before income taxes. The Companys effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was higher than the federal statutory rate primarily due to state and foreign income taxes and various nondeductible expenses.
Segment Results
Manufacturer Services
Revenues for Manufacturer Services decreased by $0.7 million to $53.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared with revenues of $54.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the volume of promotions printed.
Operating profit for Manufacturer Services decreased by $2.4 million to $23.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with operating profit of $25.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in operating profit was primarily due to the decrease in revenues described above, as well as an increase in certain operating costs. Direct operating expenses increased $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to a change in the manner in which the Company allocates certain retailer costs among its segments. Beginning in fiscal year 2004, for the three months ended June 30, 2003, Manufacturer Services recognized approximately $1.6 million of costs from Retail Services as compensation for intersegment services provided, partially offset by a $0.7 million decline in sales commissions.
As a result of the combined effect of lower revenues and net increase in direct costs and expenses, net income for Manufacturer Services decreased by $1.4 million to $13.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared with net income of $15.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
16
CHR
Revenues for CHR decreased by $2.4 million to $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared with revenues of $16.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to a reduction in the volume of revenue generating newsletters delivered. This decrease in revenue generating newsletters was primarily attributable to a decline in pharmaceutical manufacturer spending in our Health Resource Network during this period.
Operating loss for CHR increased by $2.2 million to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with an operating loss of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to a decrease in revenues and an increase in administrative expenses incurred for reorganizing CHRs operational structure, including severance pay, and was partially offset by lower sales commissions.
Net loss for CHR increased by $1.3 million to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with a net loss of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. This increase in net loss was primarily due to the factors affecting operating loss, discussed above.
International
Revenues for International increased by $4.1 million to $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with revenues of $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in International revenues reflects additional manufacturer and retail promotions printed in France through a French retailer that was added to the Catalina Marketing Network during fiscal year 2003.
Operating loss for International decreased by $1.3 million to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with an operating loss of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in operating loss was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues, net of related direct costs.
Net loss for International decreased by $0.4 million to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with a net loss of $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
DMS
Revenues for DMS increased by $1.5 million to $11.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with revenues of $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increases in customer sample mailings.
Operating loss for DMS decreased by $0.8 million to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with an operating loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, primarily as a result of the increase in revenues, net of related direct costs.
Net loss for DMS decreased to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with a net loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 primarily due to the factors affecting operating loss discussed above.
Japan Billboard
Revenues for Japan Billboard decreased by $1.6 million to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with revenues of $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to a decline in tobacco advertising spending as a result of the adoption of the Voluntary Global Tobacco Marketing Initiative (the Initiative) in fiscal year 2002, which significantly limits the manner in which tobacco companies in Japan can market, promote and advertise their products. For a more detailed description of the Initiative and its effect on revenues for Japan Billboard, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
Operating loss for Japan Billboard was $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared with an operating profit of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Net loss for Japan Billboard was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with net income of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in operating results for Japan Billboard for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was primarily attributable to the effect of the Initiative on its business. Net income also includes a charge in the amount of
17
$0.8 million for the cumulative effect of an accounting change upon the adoption of SFAS No. 143 and its application in recognition of asset retirement costs expected to be incurred for the retirement of billboards. See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other Segments and Corporate
Other includes Retail Services and CMRS. Revenues for this segment decreased by $0.8 million to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with revenues of $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Retail Services revenues declined by $1.6 million primarily due to a decrease in loyalty card revenues. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in CMRS revenues and other revenues of $0.8 million.
Operating loss decreased by $1.7 million to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with an operating loss of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The improvement in operating results was primarily attributable to an intersegment allocation of certain costs from Retail Services to Manufacturer Services for services provided by Retail Services. There was no significant change in costs and expenses for CMRS for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Primarily as a result of the decrease in costs and expenses, net loss for the Other operating segment decreased to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with a net loss of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
The increase in the operating loss for Corporate for the three months ended June 30, 2003 reflects a decrease in the percent of costs allocated to operating segments from 79.1% of Corporates operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to 72.7% of Corporates operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Before allocations, total Corporate operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were comparable with the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Foreign Currency Translation and Its Effect on Revenues
Consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $102.2 million, which includes $12.9 million in revenues from foreign operations.
The local currencies of the countries in which we maintain foreign operations are the euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen. These currencies strengthened against the United States dollar during the three months ended June 30, 2003. Accordingly, revenues in United States dollars for our foreign operations would have been 15.9% lower for the period if translated using the weighted average currency translation rates for the comparable period in fiscal year 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows generated from operations, a credit agreement with a syndicate of commercial banks with a revolving loan credit facility (the Corporate Facility), various credit agreements and installment loan payables entered into by our Japan subsidiaries (the Japan Credit Facilities) and the indebtedness under a lease arrangement in the amount of $29.6 million. See Other Sources of Liquidity for further details. Our primary liquidity requirements continue to be for working capital, capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business and the repayment of debt and lease obligations. Cash flows from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and through the current date have been sufficient to meet our liquidity needs and, with the expectation that the Corporate Facility will be refinanced prior to its expiration on August 31, 2004, we believe that cash flows generated from operations, along with existing credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet our projected cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
We have no significant long-term debt other than outstanding debt in Japan and the indebtedness under the lease agreement governing our headquarters facility. We will continue to invest in sales and marketing, in our Catalina Marketing Network® and in other support technology and enhanced systems of reporting and controls.
We believe that our ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash gives us the opportunity to invest in our business as we believe is necessary for items such as research and development, development and expansion of markets, investments, acquisitions, share repurchases, legal risks and challenges to our business model. Our existing cash and cash equivalents, combined with cash generated from operations and available borrowings under our credit facilities, should be sufficient to fund our operating activities as well as other opportunities for the short term and over our
18
forecasted long-range plan of three years. If during that period or thereafter we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flows from operations, raising additional capital when required, or being able to borrow in sufficient amounts, our business could suffer.
Cash Flow Analysis
Cash provided by operating activities was $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with $22.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $0.8 million to $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with $8.9 million used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Capital expenditures increased by $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2002. Capital expenditure levels vary during the year depending upon the timing and size of contracts entered into with retailers and the scheduling of store installations. Cash used for investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2002 included $4.6 million for earnout payments related to previous acquisitions accounted for as purchases.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with $19.9 million used in financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease of $19.6 million is primarily attributable to the decrease in the amount of Company common stock repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2003, combined with increased bank borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Other Sources of Liquidity
In addition to our cash flows generated from operations, our access to the Corporate Facility and Japan Credit Facilities provide additional sources of liquidity.
The Corporate Facility. The Corporate Facility currently provides for a revolving line of credit up to $30.0 million, which is available to finance capital expenditures, current operating requirements in our domestic and European subsidiaries and other investments. The balance outstanding under the Corporate Facility as of June 30, 2003 was $22.0 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2003, the Corporate Facility was amended and restated. Please refer to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2004, for a discussion of the significant changes and current terms of the Corporate Facility. The Corporate Facility expires on August 31, 2004. The Corporate Facility was repaid in full on November 25, 2003 and no additional amounts have been borrowed through the current date.
We believe that we will be able to either renegotiate or replace the Corporate Facility prior to its expiration on August 31, 2004 with terms that will be at least as favorable as the terms of the current Corporate Facility; however, there can be no assurances that we will be able to renegotiate terms that are as favorable to the Company as those of the existing Corporate Facility. Although we believe that cash generated from operations under economic conditions similar to those currently existing will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements, failure to renegotiate the terms of or to replace the Corporate Facility on terms that are at least as favorable to us could have, in conjunction with other unknown events related to our liquidity or future business prospects, a material adverse effect on our ability to provide sufficient cash to fund our operations.
The Japan Credit Facilities. The Japan Credit Facilities are available to finance capital expenditures and current operating requirements of our operations in Japan. The balance outstanding under the Japan Credit Facilities as of June 30, 2003 was $29.0 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2003, the Japan Credit Facilities were amended. Please refer to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2004, for a discussion of the significant changes to and current terms of the Japan Credit Facilities.
The Lease Agreement. The lease agreement governs the $29.6 million of indebtedness related to our corporate headquarters, in St. Petersburg, Florida. These borrowings are guaranteed by a lien on our corporate headquarters. The initial lease term expires in October 2005. At the expiration of the initial lease term for our building, if all parties agree, the lease may be extended for as many as three, five-year renewal periods; alternatively, we have an option to purchase the building for approximately $30.5 million. The Company is currently in compliance with the terms of the lease agreement. Please refer to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, filed with the SEC on July 15, 2004, for a discussion of the terms of the lease agreement.
19
Capital Requirements
There were no significant changes to the Companys contractual cash obligations or commercial commitments during the quarter ended June 30, 2003 as compared with the amounts reported in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, filed with the SEC on May 17, 2004. Furthermore, there have not been any material changes to the Companys contractual cash obligations or commercial commitments since March 31, 2004, as reported in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, filed with the SEC on July 15, 2004.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include the accounts of the variable interest entity which owns our headquarters building in St. Petersburg, Florida. At the expiration of the initial lease term for our building, if all parties agree, the lease may be extended for as many as three, five-year renewal periods; alternatively, we have an option to purchase the building for approximately $30.5 million. The Company also has the option to purchase the building at any time before the expiration of the initial lease term in October 2005. In the event we elect to purchase the building, we may arrange third-party financing for the purchase or, depending upon availability, utilize cash from operations, either entirely or in combination with long-term financing. If the lease is not extended and we do not purchase the building, the building will be sold, at which time we may negotiate a lease with the new owner. We believe that the ability to renew the lease or purchase the building, either individually or in some combination thereof, or renegotiation of a lease in the event of a sale of the building, will allow us to satisfy our obligation for our headquarters building.
Capital Expenditures. The Companys primary capital expenditures are for store equipment and third-party store installation and upgrade costs, as well as data processing equipment for the Companys central data processing facilities. Total store equipment and third-party store installation costs for the Catalina Marketing Network® typically range from $3,000 to $13,000 per store. The pace of installations varies depending on the timing of contracts entered into with retailers and the scheduling of store installations by mutual agreement. We typically finance our capital expenditures for in-store equipment with cash generated from operations. Because in-store installations do not follow a pattern that necessarily coincides with our operating cash flows, we may finance our capital expenditures for this equipment with proceeds from our Corporate Facility.
Contingent Earnout Payment. In 1999, the Company, through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, executed a final deferred contingency earnout agreement, as amended in November 2003, with the former minority partners of the Catalina Marketing Japan coupon business. The agreement stipulates a potential earn out payment based on a predetermined formula over the applicable four consecutive quarters of earnings during a time period ending between 2006 and 2007. We are not able to estimate the amount of this contingent payment which is based on future earnings; however, the ultimate amount of this payment, if any, could be material.
Sales Tax Assessment
A sales and use tax audit for the period January 1, 1991 to June 30, 1993 was conducted by a state taxing authority resulting in an assessment of sales tax on the Companys revenue generated from its electronic marketing delivery service conducted within that state. We subsequently appealed this assessment to the relevant state tax tribunal. The tax tribunal held that our electronic marketing delivery activities were taxable in their entirety. In March 2002, the states intermediate court of appeals affirmed the decision of the tax tribunal. We appealed the case to the states supreme court and, in May 2004, the state supreme court vacated the prior decision, remanded the case back to the tax tribunal and directed the tax tribunal to apply a different legal test. In July 2004, the states tax tribunal ruled in favor of the Company; however, the decision of the states tax tribunal is subject to review by the state supreme court and is not final. As of the current date, the Company does not yet know the final outcome of the case. A favorable decision could result in the reversal of a liability of approximately $4.4 million, which is the amount of the liability the Company has recognized as of the current date. If an adverse decision is reached in this case, we do not believe that the tax assessment will result in a material charge to the Companys financial statements, however, we may become subject to similar proceedings in other jurisdictions and additional tax assessments resulting from those proceedings could be material to the Company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2004. A discussion of the findings of these evaluations is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 (filed July 15, 2004). We are in the process of making an additional assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as of our first fiscal quarter of 2005 ended June 30, 2004, and will report on such assessment in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with respect to such period.
The evaluation as of March 31, 2004 was made under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2004 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported and include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. These conclusions are as of March 31, 2004 and are subject to our subsequent evaluation, actions and conclusions discussed below. In addition, we made a number of significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal years 2003 and 2004 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. These changes are summarized below. Other than as described below, we made no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
We have continued to evaluate the effectiveness and design of our disclosure controls and procedures in light of subsequent developments with respect to our financial reporting as further discussed below and the matters described in Item 9 Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure, in our Annual
21
Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. As part of our ongoing evaluation, in June 2003, our accounting and finance personnel began an extensive effort to analyze our financial information and related accounting records for our fiscal years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. These efforts, along with efforts undertaken to position our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer to satisfy their certification requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules, identified a number of the items for review, as described below. In addition, our independent registered certified public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (PwC), in connection with its audit and review of the Companys internal controls, has communicated to the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors (the Audit Committee) and senior management its findings with respect to the Companys internal control over financial reporting, including certain material weaknesses and significant deficiencies, as defined under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Management, in performing its evaluation, also considered PwCs findings. This evaluation allowed us and our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer to make conclusions, as of July 2004, regarding the state of our disclosure controls and procedures. The evaluation is ongoing and, accordingly, the Company and our certifying officers may make additional conclusions and take additional actions, from time to time, as we may deem necessary or desirable.
As a result of the recent audit procedures and our continuing efforts to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting, PwC has advised us, and we have concluded, that the following internal control deficiencies constituted material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, during the fiscal years ended and as of March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. In addition, we have identified opportunities to correct these weaknesses and deficiencies. While a number of these weaknesses and deficiencies were found to exist in CHR, certain of the accounting principles addressed in our recent audit activities and other efforts apply to other segments of the Companys business. We outline these below.
| Deficiencies related to the structure and design of certain financial information reporting processes. We identified deficiencies in our accounting processes for the timing of recognition of revenue in CHR. Specifically, we discovered that in certain instances (i) we recognized revenue for services in periods prior to the periods in which such services were performed and (ii) we did not account for certain oral and written modifications to written agreements in determining the proper recognition of revenues under such agreements, which resulted in revenues being recognized during incorrect periods. | |||
| Deficiencies related to inadequate or ineffective policies for documenting transactions. We identified deficiencies in documenting and accounting for transactions and in connection with our related policies and practices. Specifically, we identified various transactions in which we applied policies or procedures in a manner that resulted in us prematurely recognizing revenue. We discovered instances where some of our employees failed to follow policies, processes and procedures that were in place for transactions involving the execution of written agreements. In addition, we discovered practices of our employees with respect to which we had not adopted adequate procedures. | |||
| Deficiencies related to design of policies and execution of processes related to accounting for transactions. We identified deficiencies in accounting for certain aspects of our operations. We discovered deficiencies in our policies and processes for supporting our accounting practices relating to transfer pricing and fair value calculations, verifying account balances and foreign currency translation adjustments; accounting for property and equipment, goodwill, patents, capitalization of software development costs, accruals and minority interests; and determining and disclosing the fair value of stock-based compensation. | |||
| Deficiencies related to the internal control environment. As a result of the deficiencies described above, we concluded that there were deficiencies in the internal control environment (relating to accounting, financial reporting and internal controls) during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 which constituted, at times, material weaknesses and, at other times, significant deficiencies. Under the supervision of the Audit Committee, we have taken steps to address these material weaknesses and significant deficiencies as described below. We continue to emphasize the importance of establishing the appropriate environment in relation to accounting, financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting and being vigilant to identify areas of improvement and to create and implement new policies and procedures where material weaknesses or significant deficiencies exist. |
Since May 2003, we have taken a number of steps that we believe will impact the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting including the following:
22
| In May 2003, we assigned one of our senior executives to assume principal oversight responsibility for CHR and its operations for an interim period, specifically in connection with developing and implementing appropriate disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. | |||
| In September 2003, we appointed a new corporate controller of CHR. | |||
| In November 2003, we adopted the Catalina Health Resource Selling Policies and Procedures. These policies and procedures, as well as other policies adopted by the Company, provide the following: |
| We required all participants in CHR programs to execute written contracts, including amendments to existing contracts, in each case, in form and substance approved by the Companys Executive Counsel for Legal Affairs or authorized CHR officers. | |||
| We restricted CHR employees from commencing or changing a program prior to the Company receiving a signed contract or amendment to an existing contract. | |||
| We limited the duration of programs and printing amounts to limits set forth in signed contracts or amendments to existing contracts. | |||
| We limited deviations from CHR standard contract clauses without prior approval by CHR authorized officers. |
| In November 2003, we established compliance training programs for the Companys employees related to the policies described above and contained in the Catalina Health Resource Selling Policies and Procedures. | |||
| In February 2004, we appointed a new president of CHR. | |||
| In March 2004, we completed the relocation of our CHR operations related to finance, database operations, contract administration, procurement and human resources from our offices located in St. Louis, Missouri, to our headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida, in order to monitor these operations more closely. | |||
| We have engaged outside resources to supplement our finance and accounting departments to support the preparation of financial statements and reports that are to be filed with the SEC. | |||
| We are re-evaluating prior policies and procedures and have established new policies and procedures for transactions, account reconciliation procedures and contract management procedures. | |||
| In July 2004, we added a financial expert to our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. |
We believe that the steps taken to date have addressed the material weaknesses and significant deficiencies that affected our disclosure controls and procedures in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002. We will continue with our ongoing evaluation and will improve our disclosure controls and procedures as necessary to assure their effectiveness.
The effectiveness of our or any system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing and evaluating the controls and procedures, the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. As a result, there can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors or ensure that all material information will be made known to appropriate management in a timely fashion. In addition, our ability to report our financial condition could be adversely affected if we are unsuccessful in our efforts to permanently and effectively remedy weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.
The statements contained in paragraph 4(a) of Exhibit 31.1 and Exhibit 31.2 should be considered in light of, and read together with, the information set forth in this Item 4.
