ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements the Current
Report on Form 8-K dated February 12, 1997 filed by Wherehouse Dissolution Co.,
the predecessor to the registrant, ("Prior 8-K"). The Prior 8-K reported the
consummation of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Wherehouse
Dissolution Co. and its parent WEI Acquisition Co. by the registrant (the
"Acquisition").
(a) The financial statements of Wherehouse Dissolution Co. for the
year ended January 31, 1996, are included by reference from Form 10-K,
previously filed.
(b) Set forth below is the Company's unaudited pro forma condensed
balance sheet at December 31, 1996, and its pro forma condensed statement of
operations for the year ended January 31, 1996 and unaudited pro forma condensed
statement of operations for the eleven-month period ended December 31, 1996.
The historical condensed statement of operations of the Company for the year
ended January 31, 1996 has been derived from the Company's audited financial
statements from that date. The pro forma condensed balance sheet at December
31, 1996 gives effect to the reorganization of Wherehouse Dissolution Co. on
January 31, 1997 as if this reorganization had occurred at December 31, 1996,
and the statements of operations for the year ended January 31, 1996 and for the
eleven-month interim period ended December 31, 1996 give effect to the
reorganization of Wherehouse Dissolution Co. as if the reorganization had
occurred at the beginning of each of the respective periods contained in the pro
forma financial statements by utilizing adjustments described in the
accompanying notes thereto.
The pro forma condensed financial statements may not be indicative of
the Company's actual financial position and results of operations had the
reorganization of Wherehouse Dissolution Co. occurred at the beginning of each
of the periods presented above, nor are the pro forma statements of operations
indicative of the results of operations that may be obtained in future periods.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
of the pro forma condensed financial information have been made.
It is suggested that the accompanying pro forma condensed financial
statements be read in conjunction with audited financial statements and
accompanying notes contained in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year
ended January 31,
<PAGE>
1996 and unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes
contained in the Company's reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended April 30,
1996, July 31, 1996 and October 31, 1996. In addition, the accompanying
financial statements should also be read in conjunction with the Company's
reports on Form 8-K filed on January 7, 1997 and January 31, 1997.
The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet at December 31, 1996
and the statements of operations for the year ended January 31, 1996 and the
eleven-month period ended December 31, 1996 follow.
