NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulations
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring entries necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto for Big Dog Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Big Dog USA, Inc. (the "Company") as of and for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.
NOTE 2. Net Loss Per Share:
Basic earnings (net loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (net loss) per share is
calculated based on the same number of shares plus additional shares
representing stock distributable under stock-based plans computed using the
treasury stock method.
NOTE 3. Short-term Borrowings
The Company has a line of credit arrangement with a bank whereby the
Company may borrow up to $8,000,000 as cash advances and letters of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the bank's prime loan rate
less 3/8% or 250 basis points over the LIBOR rate. As of March 31, 1998 there
were no borrowings. The line of credit expires on February 19, 1999 and is
collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company.
The Company has commitments under letters of credit totaling $702,000
at March 31, 1998. The letters of credit expire through December 31, 1998.
NOTE 4. Stockholders' Equity
Effective February 5, 1998, the Company amended the 1997 Performance
Award Plan (the "Plan")to increase the maximum number of shares reserved for
issuance under the Plan to 2,000,000.
Effective April 7, 1998, the Company repriced (by canceling and
reissuing) 444,750 options granted under the Plan. The re-priced options have a
ten-year life and either (i) have an exercise price of $6.50 per share (fair
market value at grant date) and vest in equal installments on each anniversary
of the April 7 grant date over the next five years or (ii) as to officers, have
an exercise price ranging from $6.50 to $10.00 and vest at varying rates of 10%
to 20% per year on each anniversary of the April 7 grant date over the next
seven years. Additionally, on April 7, 1998 the Company granted 1,086,650
options to certain employees and the Chairman of the Board on the same terms as
the repriced options.
In March 1998, the Company announced that its Board authorized the
repurchase of up to $10,000,000 of its common stock. Between April 1, 1998 and
May 6, 1998, the Company repurchased 822,700 shares of common stock.
ITEM 2:
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company's financial statements and notes related thereto. Certain minor
differences in the amounts below result from rounding of the amounts shown in
the consolidated financial statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997
NET SALES. Net sales consist of sales from the Company's stores,
catalog, and wholesale accounts, all net of returns and allowances. Net sales
increased to $14.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $12.3
million for the same period in 1997, an increase of $1.9 million. Of the
increase, $2.2 million was attributable to stores not yet qualifying as
comparable stores, which were offset by $0.3 million from the 3% comparable
stores sales decrease for the period. Management believes comparable store sales
decreased because of a decline in store traffic related to poor weather
conditions. Additionally, the Easter holiday was in April versus March in 1997
which skewed sales into April. Sales of the Company's Children and Big size
categories continued to grow and represented 36% of the Company's retail sales
in the first quarter compared to 30% in 1997.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased to $7.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from $6.7 million for the same period in 1997, an
increase of $1.0 million or 15%. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit
decreased to 53.8% in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 54.4% in the
same period in 1997. This 0.6% decrease was primarily attributable to a shift of
mail order sales to lower-margin wholesale sales.
SELLING, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES. Selling, marketing and
distribution expenses consist of expenses associated with creating, distributing
and selling products through all channels of distribution, including occupancy,
payroll and catalog costs. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses
increased to $10.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $8.5
million in the same period for 1997, an increase of $2.0 million, or 23.6%. As a
percentage of net sales, these expenses increased to 73.5% in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from 68.9% in the same period in 1997. This increase in
operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to
start-up costs associated with the Company's new distribution facility.
<PAGE>
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses consist of administrative salaries, corporate occupancy costs and other
corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $1.2
million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $1.0 million in the same
period in 1997. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased to 8.1%
in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 8.4% in the comparable 1997
period. These expenses decreased reflecting the leverage of spreading them over
a larger revenue base.
INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE. Interest income increased to $0.3 million
in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $0.5 million in interest expense
in the same period in 1997. In October 1997, the Company's initial public
offering closed and all debt was paid off with a portion of the net proceeds.
Subsequently, proceeds were held in a money market fund that yielded an
approximate 5% per annum return.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first quarter of 1998, the Company's primary uses of cash
were for the build-out of its new distribution center facility and new stores,
merchandise inventories, income taxes and stock repurchases. The Company
satisfied its cash requirements with the proceeds of its issuance of common
stock in 1997. In March 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
Company to repurchase up to $10 million of its common stock.
Cash used in operating activities was $9.0 million and $3.2 million for
the first three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase
in the use of cash is attributable to the payment of income taxes as well as
inventory purchases for new stores and forward buying of certain key products.
Cash used in investment activities for the three months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997 were $1.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Cash flows used
in investment activities in 1998 related primarily to the build-out and
equipment purchases related to the Company's distribution facility and 4 new
store openings.
Cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31,
1998 was $1.0 million compared to cash proceeds of $4.7 million during the same
period in 1997. In the three months ended March 31, 1998 the Company repurchased
149,000 shares of its common stock. In the same period in 1997, the Company
received approximately $4.8 million under its revolving credit facility and a
repaid capital lease obligations of $0.1 million.
The Company has a revolving credit facility with a bank that expires in
May 1999. The revolving credit facility provides for an $8 million line that can
be used for cash advances and letters of credit. Interest on advances is payable
at the bank's prime rate less 3/8% or LIBOR.
SEASONALITY
The Company's business is seasonal by nature. However, the Company
believes its seasonality is somewhat different than many apparel retailers since
a significant number of the Company's stores are located in tourist areas and
outdoor malls that have different visitation patterns than urban and suburban
retail centers. The third and fourth quarters (consisting of the summer
vacation, back-to-school and Christmas seasons) have historically accounted for
the largest percentage of the Company's annual sales and profits. The Company
has historically incurred operating losses in its first quarter and may be
expected to do so in the foreseeable future.
YEAR 2000
The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to determine
and address any potential implications of "Year 2000 compliance." "Year 2000
compliance" refers to the inability of certain computer systems to recognize
dates commencing on January 1, 2000. Such inability has the potential to
materially adversely affect the operation of some computer systems. The Company
currently believes that by upgrading its current software and converting to new
software for certain tasks, it will remedy any potential material Year 2000
compliance issues and further believes that such compliance tasks will not pose
significant operations problems nor be material to its financial position or
results of operations in any given year.
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING DISCLOSURE
Certain sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the
preceding "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations," contain various forward looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represents the
Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events. These forward
looking statements involve risk and uncertainties, and the Company cautions that
these statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking
statements. Primary factors that could cause actual results to differ are
indicated in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 1997 and
Prospectus dated September 25, 1997 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
