Tuesday Morning Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.               Basis of presentation - The consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Form 10-K filing for the year ended December 31, 2004.  Because of the seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for the quarter are not indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

 

2.               Lease accounting adjustment - Based on certain views expressed in a letter of February 7, 2005 from the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, we reviewed our accounting policies and practices associated with operating leases. Consistent with industry practices, we historically reported straight-line rental expense beginning on the lease commencement date. This had the effect of excluding the rent holiday associated with the pre-opening or build-out period of our stores from the calculation of the period over which we expensed rent. Following our review, we modified our accounting policies such that we begin recording rent expense on the date we take possession of or have the right to use the premises.

 

As a result of this adjustment, we recorded a non-cash, $3.9 million ($2.4 million, net of income tax or $0.06 per diluted share) cumulative charge to earnings during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The adjustment did not impact historical or future net cash flows nor the timing of the payments under related leases. We believe that the new lease accounting policies will not have a material effect on future diluted earnings per share. Prior years’ financial statements were not restated as the impact of this issue was immaterial to previously reported results for any individual previous period.

 

3.               Comprehensive income - Comprehensive income is defined as net income plus the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events, excluding those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders. Total comprehensive income for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $6.6 million and $8.1 million, respectively.

 

4.               Legal proceedings – During 2001 and 2002, we were named as a defendant in three complaints filed in the Superior Court of California in and for the County of Los Angeles. The plaintiffs are seeking to certify a statewide class made up of some of our current and former employees, which they claim are owed compensation for overtime wages, penalties and interest. The plaintiffs are also seeking attorney’s fees and costs. In October 2003, we entered into a settlement agreement with a sub-class of these plaintiffs consisting of manager-in-training and management trainees.  The settlement agreement is currently under appeal by one of the plaintiffs.

 

In December 2003, we were named as a defendant in a new lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of California, in and for the County of San Diego.  The plaintiffs are alleging failure to pay for minimum reporting time, travel time, split-shift premiums, meal periods and other labor issues.  We have reached a memorandum of understanding on a settlement with the plaintiffs but no formalized settlement agreement has been submitted to the court.

 

In June 2004, we were named as a defendant in a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California. The plaintiff, Thomas Kinkade Company (f/k/a/ Media Arts Group Inc.), is alleging copyright infringement and false advertisements on merchandise we sold in the second quarter of 2004. This lawsuit is in the discovery phase.

 

We intend to vigorously defend all pending actions. We do not believe these or any other legal proceedings pending or threatened against us would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

6.               Revolving credit facility – Our $210 million revolving credit facility expires in December 2009.  We incur commitment fees of up to 0.25% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Any borrowings under the revolving credit facility incur interest at LIBOR or the prime rate, depending on the type of borrowing, plus an applicable margin. These rates are increased or reduced as our average total leverage ratio changes.

 

At March 31, 2005, we had no balances outstanding under the revolving credit facility and had availability of $202.1 million.

 

7.               Stock-based compensation – We account for our stock-based compensation plans utilizing the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25).  Generally, no compensation expense is recognized for fixed option plans because the exercise prices of employee stock options equal or exceed the market prices of the underlying stock on the dates of grant.

 

The following table represents the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value based method and recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and our adoption on January 1, 2003 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure.”  The pro forma effects of stock-based compensation on net income and net income per common share are as follows:

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (Statement 123(R)), which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement

 

5



 

123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values at the time of grant. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

 

In connection with the Securities Exchange Commission’s amendment of its rules, Statement 123(R) must be adopted no later than January 1, 2006. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. We expect to adopt Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006.

 

Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: (1) a “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date; (2) a “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

 

The company has not yet determined which transition method it plans to adopt under Statement 123(R).

 

As permitted by Statement 123, the company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)’s fair value method will have a significant impact on our result of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future and on the model chosen to determine fair value for grants after January 1, 2006. However, had we adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods based on our use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described above in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share. While Statement 123(R) permits entities to continue use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model, Statement 123(R) also permits the use of a “binomial model.” We have no yet determined which model we will use to measure the fair value of future employee stock option grants upon the adoption of Statement 123(R).

 

8.               Reclassifications - Certain prior year amounts may have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

       We sell upscale, name brand home furnishings, gifts and related items significantly below retail prices charged by department and specialty stores throughout 673 stores in 43 states. We have a unique event-based selling strategy that creates a sense of urgency and excitement for our customer base.

 

       Our store base has grown at approximately 10% per year for the last five years, and during the first quarter of 2005 we expanded our store base by 18 new stores and had 7 store closures.

 

       Our operating profits, combined with more efficient use of working capital and increased inventory turns over past years have increased cash flow, which has been used to reduce debt. At March 31, 2005, we had no debt outstanding as compared to $27.0 million in debt outstanding at March 31, 2004. We anticipate using our revolving credit facility during certain periods of the remainder of 2005 for inventory purchases and capital expenditures, but we expect to generate excess cash flow for the entire fiscal year 2005. We will be evaluating appropriate uses of our excess cash flow in the future, including the use of capital to expand the business and other alternative uses for our cash.

 

Lease Accounting Adjustment

 

Based on certain views expressed in a letter of February 7, 2005 from the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, we reviewed our accounting policies and practices associated with operating leases. Consistent with industry practices, we historically reported straight-line rental expense beginning on the lease commencement date. This had the effect of excluding the rent holiday associated with the pre-opening or build-out period of our stores from the calculation of the period over which we expensed rent. Following our review, we modified our accounting policies such that we begin recording rent expense on the date we take possession of or have the right to use the premises.

 

As a result of this adjustment, we recorded a non-cash, $3.9 million ($2.4 million, net of income tax or $0.06 per diluted share) cumulative charge to earnings during the first quarter of 2005. The adjustment did not impact historical or future net cash flows nor the timing of the payments under related leases. We believe that the new lease accounting policies will not have a material effect on future diluted earnings per share. Prior years’ financial statements were not restated as the impact of this issue was immaterial to previously reported results for any individual previous periods.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following table sets forth certain financial information from our consolidated statements of income expressed as a percentage of net sales.  Our business is highly seasonal, with a significant portion of our net sales and most of our operating income generated in the fourth quarter, which includes the holiday season. There can be no assurance that the trends in sales growth or operating results will continue in the future.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2004

 

During the first quarter of 2005, net sales increased to $185.6 million from $168.6 million, an increase of $17.0 million or 10.1% compared to the same quarter of 2004. The increase in first quarter sales is primarily due to sales from non-comparable new stores, offset by a 0.3% decrease in comparable store sales. The decrease in comparable sales for the first quarter of 2005 was comprised of a 0.3% decrease in the number of transactions offset by a flat average transaction amount.  Average store sales for the first quarter decreased 3.1% when compared to the same prior year quarter.

 

Gross profit increased $6.6 million, or 10.0%, to $72.6 million for the three months ending March 31, 2005 as compared to last year’s first quarter of $66.0 million, primarily as a result of our increased net sales.  Our gross profit percentage decreased to 39.1% from 39.2% in the prior year’s first quarter.  This 0.1% decrease is comprised of a 0.6% decrease in gross margin due to a shift in product mix and a lower initial mark up in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004, offset by a 0.4% reduction in our distribution and freight expenses and a 0.1% decrease in damages and shrink.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised of store labor, store occupancy costs, advertising, miscellaneous store operating expenses and corporate office costs. Increases in dollar amounts of these expenses are attributable to increases in the number of stores and increases in variable expenses due to sales growth. Variable expenses include payroll and related benefits, advertising expense and other expenses such as credit card fees.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $9.6 million, or 18.3%, to $62.1 million from $52.5 million in the first quarter of 2004.  The increase was attributable to the opening of new stores, to the $3.9 million lease accounting adjustment and to increases in variable expenses.  As a percentage of net sales these expenses increased 2.3% to 33.5% in the first quarter of 2005 from 31.2% in the first quarter of 2004.  The increased percentage is primarily due to the 2.1% increase in rent expense due to the lease accounting adjustment and includes a 0.8% increase related to rent, occupancy and depreciation expense associated with the increase in our store base, offset by a 0.7% decrease in advertising expense.

 

Net interest and other income (expense) decreased $0.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2004.   This reduction is a result of limited borrowings under our revolving credit line in the first quarter 2005 as compared to the first quarter 2004.

 

The income tax provision for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $3.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 36.3% and 38.5%, respectively.  The effective tax rate is lower in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004 due to a lower estimated annual effective tax for 2005 and an adjustment of tax reserves related to a favorable settlement with a taxing authority.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have financed our operations with funds generated from operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our cash flow strategy during the last three years has been focused on funding our store growth and distribution improvements and reducing our debt and financing costs associated with our recapitalization in 1997. Our cash flows will continue to be utilized for the expansion of our business, but we are exploring the alternative uses of excess cash for the future. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions with unconsolidated, limited purpose or variable interest entities, nor do we have material transactions or commitments involving related persons or entities.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $26.8 million and $37.5 million, respectively, representing a $10.7 million decrease. This decrease is predominantly due to the decrease in inventory purchases in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004, offset by the increase in estimated income tax payments and in advertising prepayments.

 

At March 31, 2005, our inventory increased $23.5 million to $212.6 million from $189.1 million at December 31, 2004 primarily due to the increase in the number of stores and the normal seasonal build-up of inventory.  Accounts payable balances have increased to $76.6 million as of March 31, 2005 from $72.7 million at December 31, 2004.

 

Capital expenditures principally associated with new store opening and warehouse equipment were $4.0 million and $6.3 million for the three months ending March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  We expect to spend approximately $14.0 million for additional capital expenditures for the remainder of 2005, which will include the opening of new

stores, enhancements of selected stores, and purchases of equipment for our distribution center and corporate office.

 

We have a $210 million revolving credit facility that expires in December 2009.  Any borrowing under the revolving credit facility will incur interest at LIBOR or the prime rate, depending on the term of the borrowing, plus an applicable margin. We incur commitment fees of up to 0.25% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. This rate is reduced or increased as our average total leverage ratio changes. Our indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by a lien on our inventory and cash accounts, as well as a pledge of our ownership interests in all of our subsidiaries.

 

At March 31, 2005, we had no debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility and had availability of $202.1 million.  As of March 31, 2005 and 2004, we had outstanding letters of credit of $7.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively, primarily for self-insurance.

 

The revolving credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants, which among other things, require us to comply with certain financial ratios covering maximum leverage, minimum fixed charge coverage and minimum interest coverage. Other restrictions affect our ability to incur liens or make certain other restricted payments, sell assets or merge or consolidate with any other person. As of March 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants.

 

We anticipate that our future net cash flows from operations and unused borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs and planned capital expenditures for the next 12 months.

Item 3.            Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates.  Based on our market risk sensitive instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2005, we have determined that there was no material market risk exposure to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of such date.  Our market risk is discussed in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.  We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  There have been no significant changes in the foreign currency exchange rate or interest rate market risks since December 31, 2004.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Based on our management’s evaluation (with participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer), our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of March 31, 2005 to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met and, as set forth above, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were sufficiently effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure

control system were met.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

During 2001 and 2002, we were named as a defendant in three complaints filed in the Superior Court of California in and for the County of Los Angeles. The plaintiffs are seeking to certify a statewide class made up of some of our current and former employees, which they claim are owed compensation for overtime wages, penalties and interest. The plaintiffs are also seeking attorney’s fees and costs. In October 2003, we entered into a settlement agreement with a sub-class of these plaintiffs consisting of manager-in-training and management trainees.  The settlement agreement is currently under appeal by one of the plaintiffs.

 

In December 2003, we were named as a defendant in a new lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of California, in and for the County of San Diego.  The plaintiffs are alleging failure to pay for minimum reporting time, travel time, split-shift premiums, meal periods and other labor issues.  We have reached a memorandum of understanding on a settlement with the plaintiffs but no formalized settlement agreement has been submitted to the court.

 

In June 2004, we were named as a defendant in a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California. The plaintiff, Thomas Kinkade Company (f/k/a/ Media Arts Group Inc.), is alleging copyright infringement and false advertisements on merchandise we sold in the second quarter of 2004. This lawsuit is in the discovery phase.

 

We intend to vigorously defend all pending actions. We do not believe these or any other legal proceedings pending or threatened against us would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors since April 21, 2003.
