NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Pet Quarters, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") was organized under the laws
of the state of Arkansas on May 22, 1997. The Company sells pet supplies to both
retail and wholesale customers through catalogs and e-commerce. In August 1999
the Company purchased Humboldt Industries whose primary business was catalog
sales. As a result of this acquisition, the Company has altered its approach by
combining a traditional catalog company that is migrating its customer base to
the Internet, and expanding its Internet-only customers through the catalog.
THE COMPANY HAS SOLD COMMON STOCK IN OFFERINGS THAT WERE EXEMPT FROM
REGISTRATION WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ("SEC"). THE COMPANY'S
COMMON STOCK IS CURRENTLY TRADED ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We have prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. The interim financial information is
unaudited, but reflects all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring
accruals which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of operations for the interim periods. Our operating results for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for us for the entire year because of seasonal and short-term
variations. For further information, you should refer to the consolidated
financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 2000.
CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly owned
subsidiaries, which include Chartendure Limited, WeRPets.com, Inc., PQ
Acquisition Company, Inc. (the survivor of Humboldt and Maplewood acquisitions),
Wellstone Acquisition Corporation and Allpets.com, Inc.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, principally determined by the
first-in, first-out method, or market. Inventory at September 30, 2000 and 1999,
consists of pet supplies purchased for retail sale.
PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
depreciable assets, which range from five years for furniture and equipment. The
land and building in Lonoke, Arkansas is being held for sale, and the building
is not currently being depreciated.
INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes based on the liability method. No benefit
for income taxes has been made due to net operating loss carryforwards that may
offset future taxable income.
6
<PAGE> 7
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The company records stock based compensation using provisions of Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, for the preparation of its basic consolidated financial statements.
Such provisions require the company to recognize compensation cost over the
vesting period for the difference between the quoted market price of an award at
the date of grant and the purchase or exercise price of the shares.
GOODWILL
The excess of acquisition costs over the fair values of net assets acquired in
business combinations treated as purchase transactions ("goodwill") is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated life, 2 to 5 years
currently. The Company periodically evaluates the existence of goodwill
impairment on the basis of whether the goodwill is fully recoverable from the
projected undiscounted net cash flows of the related business unit. The amount
of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future
operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost
of funds.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated
lives, ranging from 3 to 5 years. Intangible assets at June 30, 2000 and 1999
primarily consist of web site development costs and trademarks.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company's services are provided primarily to customers throughout the United
States. The Company receives payment largely by customers' use of credit cards
for internet and catalog sales and, for sales by Humboldt to pet care
professionals and veterinarians, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations
and generally does not require collateral. Historically, credit losses have been
within management's expectations.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment of merchandise, net of an
allowance for estimated customer returns.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING
Fees received from shipping and handling activities are included as revenue.
Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included as a component of cost of
goods sold.
IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
The Company accounts for any impairment of its long-lived assets using Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of".
Under SFAS No. 121, impairment losses are recognized when information indicates
the carrying amount of long-lived assets, identifiable intangibles and goodwill
related to those assets will not be recovered through future operations or sale.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

The effect of all potential common shares is anti-dilutive in the
calculation of diluted loss per share and therefore have been excluded
from the calculation.
NOTE 3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company's Board of Directors has given approval to the establishment of a
Management Incentive Plan under which shares of the Company's stock are granted
to employees. The shares are restricted for one year following the date of
grant.
NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS
HUMBOLDT AND MAPLEWOOD
On August 1, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of
Humboldt Industries, Inc. and Maplewood Industries, Inc., both of Hazleton,
Pennsylvania, for $4.6 million cash and 1,146,417 shares of the Company's common
stock valued at $4.6 million on the date of the acquisition. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase transaction and resulted in the recording of
approximately $8.3 million of goodwill. Goodwill is being amortized over a
five-year life. The acquisition was financed through a Bridge Loan in the amount
of $4.6 million. This bridge loan was extended in November 1999 and subsequently
repaid in February and May 2000.
WELLSTONE ACQUISITION CORPORATION
On March 6, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Wellstone
Acquisition Corporation ("Wellstone") in exchange for 130,208 shares of the
Company's common stock, valued at $557,453 ($4.28 per share) on the date of
acquisition. In addition, the Company paid professional and legal fees of
$225,000 in conjunction with this transaction.
The acquisition was made pursuant to rule 12g-3(a) of the General Rules and
Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This rule allows
nonreporting entities to acquire fully reporting entities and thereby become
fully reporting. The Company made this acquisition in order to become fully
reporting. It was subsequently determined that the Company could not utilize
8
<PAGE> 9
rule 12g-3(a) to become fully reporting. The Company had not identified an
alternative use for Wellstone and has therefore expensed the entire cost of
$782,453 during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 as a component of general and
administrative expense.
WERPETS.COM
On April 27, 2000 the Company acquired WeRPets.com, Inc. for 703,316 shares of
the Company's common stock, valued at $2,461,606 ($3.50 per share) on the date
of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction and
resulted in the recording of approximately $2.5 million of goodwill. Goodwill is
being amortized over a three-year life.
CHARTENDURE
On May 1, 2000 the Company acquired Chartendure, Ltd., a company organized under
the laws of the United Kingdom, for 400,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, valued at $725,000 ($1.81 per share) on the date of acquisition. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction and resulted in the
recording of approximately $725,000 of goodwill. Goodwill is being amortized
over a two-year life.
ALLPETS.COM
On May 30, 2000 the Company acquired AllPets.com, Inc. through the exchange of
3,652,785 shares of the Company's common stock and 1,105,250 stock options. The
stock and stock options exchanged were valued based on the closing price of
$1.875 on May 30, 2000, resulting in a purchase price of $8.6 million. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction and resulted in the
recording of approximately $7.9 million of goodwill. Goodwill is being amortized
over a three-year life. In addition to the shares exchanged above, the Company
may be required to issue up to 1,189,479 additional shares of common stock if
contingencies related to the achievement of certain stock price appreciation
targets and listing of the Company's stock on the NASDAQ are achieved.
NOTE 5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. On May
9, 2000 the Company designated 50,000 share of preferred stock as Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Stock"), the Company subsequently issued
34,642 shares of Series A Stock for total consideration of $3,464,200,
consisting of $2,055,700 in cash and $1,408,500 as payment on the Bridge Loan
(see Note 9). The acquisition of these bridge loan interests effectively retired
an equivalent amount of principal on the bridge loan. The Series A Stock has the
following terms, rights, and privileges:
a) Dividends - The holders of the Series A Stock are not entitled to
receive dividends from the Company.
b) Liquidation - Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A
Stock shall be entitled, before any distribution or payment is made
upon any shares of any other class of stock of the Company, to be paid
$100 per share (the purchase price of the Series A Stock).
c) Redemption - Subject to certain conditions and one year after the
initial date of issuance, the Series A Stock may be redeemed (all or
none) at the Company's option upon the payment in cash of the sum of
$100 per share.
d) Conversion - At any time, holders of the Series A Stock may convert all
or a portion of those shares into a number of shares of common stock,
computed by multiplying the number of shares to be converted by $100
and dividing the result by the conversion price. The conversion price
is equal to $1.3816. The conversion price may be adjusted from time to
time to account for any stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations, mergers, assets sales, or similar events.
A preferred stock deemed dividend in the amount of $3.4 million was recorded for
the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to reflect the intrinsic value of the beneficial
conversion feature available to preferred shareholders and the fair value of the
associated warrants at the date of issuance.

<PAGE> 10
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
On February 23, 2000 the Company issued warrants to purchase 169,200 shares of
common stock at an average purchase price of $4.52 in conjunction with the
private placement of approximately $3 million of common stock. The warrants are
immediately exercisable and will expire three years from the date of issuance.
These warrants were accounted for as a cost of capital and were recorded as
equity.
On March 15, 2000 the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,320,000 shares of
common stock at an average purchase price of $3.92 in conjunction with the $25
million Equity Line of Credit. The warrants are immediately exercisable and will
expire three years from the date of issuance. These warrants will be accounted
for as a cost of capital.
On May 2, 2000 the Company issued warrants to purchase 54,237 shares of common
stock at an purchase price of $2.03 in conjunction with the $1 million
Convertible Debenture. The warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire
three years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants was
accounted for as a discount on the debt issued and is being amortized as
interest expense over the term of the agreement.
On May 8, 2000 the Company issued warrants to purchase 3,464 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $100 per share. The shares
may be converted into a maximum of 250,724 shares of common stock. The warrants
are immediately exercisable and will expire three years from the date of
issuance. The fair value of these warrants was accounted for as a "Deemed
Dividend" in conjunction with the beneficial conversion feature.

The Company has a $950,000 line of credit agreement, which expires October 10,
2000. At September 30, 2000 there was $700,000 outstanding under this agreement.
On October 10, 2000, the Company extended its line of credit agreement to
January 10, 2001. At September 30, 2000, the Company had $495,178 in related
party debt as compared to $615,178 as of June 30, 2000.
NOTE 7. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
On May 5, 2000, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 pursuant to the terms of a 6%
convertible debenture. The convertible debenture requires the Company to make
quarterly interest payments, beginning August 5, 2000, and the full amount of
the loan is due and payable on November 5, 2000. The debenture is convertible,
at the option of holder, into a minimum of 666,666 shares of the Company's
common stock at a rate of $1.50 per share or 85% of the average price of the
lowest three days during the last twenty-two days prior to notice of the
conversion. The proceeds from the debenture were used to retire the Bridge Loan.
Non-cash interest expense in the amount of $290,000 was recorded at the date of
issuance due to the beneficial conversion feature included in this debenture.
In conjunction with this debenture, the Company initially issued stock purchase
warrants for the purchase of up to 54,237 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $2.03 per share. Accordingly, $60,000 of the proceeds from the lender
has been allocated to the warrants, based on their estimated fair market value
at issuance. The beneficial conversion feature and stock purchase warrants have
been accounted for as a debt discount on the convertible debentures. The debt
discount is being amortized over the term of the convertible debenture and is
recognized in the Statement of Operations as additional interest expense. In
November 2000, this convertible debenture was extended to May 5, 2001 and its
conversion price was lowered to $1.00. At the same time, 130,000 other warrants
provided to the lender were reduced to $1.00 from $4.65.
NOTE 8. EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT
On March 15, 2000, the Company entered into an equity line of credit agreement
with Splendid Rock Holdings, Ltd., whereby the Company may sell or "put", from
time to time, up to an aggregate of $25 million of common stock at a price equal
to 85% of the average market price of the common stock as defined by the Line of
Credit Agreement. The maximum dollar amount of shares that may be put is subject
to certain volume and timing restrictions.
Through September 30, 2000, the Company had issued 750,000 of shares of common
stock pursuant to this agreement.
In conjunction with this agreement the Company issued to Splendid Rock Holdings,
Inc. warrants to purchase up to 1,320,000 shares of common stock at an average
exercise price of $3.84. As currently structured, the Company will account for
the value of the
11
<PAGE> 12
warrants issued ($1,774,000) as a cost of the issuance of common stock and,
accordingly, this is not expected to impact future results of operations.
NOTE 9. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Prior to the purchase of Humboldt Industries effective August 1, 1999, the
Company operated in one segment - internet sales of pet supplies. Beginning
August 1, 1999, the Company began, through the purchase of Humboldt Industries,

Although the Company sells the same product at the same price to retail
customers through the internet and catalog segments, the means of selling is
different with the internet segment having the potential for a much broader
distribution with far more customers that can be reached through the traditional
catalog distribution. Revenues by geographical location of customer is not
practical to determine.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following discussion and analysis contains some forward-looking statements,
which are based upon our plans, goals, and objectives for Pet Quarters, Inc. and
its management. Such statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties,
including our inability to secure ongoing financing. The most important risk
concerns the cash to operate the businesses of Pet Quarters, Inc. We have
additional loans, some of which are demand loans, which could require additional
infusions of capital. Our longer-term development plans also require additional
capital for completion. Consequently, the reader should consider that such
uncertainties and risks may cause actual results to vary materially from the
stated plans, goals, and objectives outlined below. Unless otherwise indicated,
this discussion covers the period beginning on July 1, 2000 and concluding on
September 30, 2000.
Assets: The total assets as of September 30, 2000 were $20,155,076 as compared
to $21,846,952 as of June 30, 2000. This is an 8% decrease, which reflects the
goodwill that was amortized during the quarter. We had current assets of
$3,005,069 including cash of $211,439, inventories of $1,517,685, prepaid
expenses of $462,202 and land and building held for sale of $500,000 as of
September 30, 2000 as compared to current assets of $3,302,340 including cash of
$164,128, inventories of $1,674,002, prepaid expense of $637,425 and building
and land held for sale of $500,000 as of June 30, 2000. We have listed the
facility in Lonoke, Arkansas for $650,000. The purchase of Humboldt Industries
eliminated the original purpose of the facility, and the Company is prepared to
sell the Lonoke facility.
Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, was $16,149,783 as of September 30,
2000 as compared to $17,524,514 as of June 30, 2000. The reduction in goodwill
reflects the quarterly amortization of goodwill resulting from the purchase of
Humboldt Industries, WeRPets.com, Chartendure Ltd., and AllPets.com. We are
amortizing these acquisitions on schedules that vary between two and five years.
Intangible assets in the amount of $513,662 as of September 30, 2000 include
capitalized costs associated with our website as compared to $506,227 as of June
30, 2000. We anticipate website design and development costs will continue and
will be capitalized in conformity with Statement of Position (SOP 98-1).
Liabilities and stockholders equity:
Liabilities: Total liabilities of $5,490,287 are reflected as of September 30,
2000 as compared to total liabilities as of $5,402,494 as of June 30, 2000.
12
<PAGE> 13
Current liabilities: Current liabilities include accounts payable of $2,537,801
as of September 30, 2000 as compared to $2,904,205 as of June 30, 2000. Accrued
expenses of $712,308 as of September 30, 2000 compared with $546,412 as of June
30, 2000. We had notes payable totaling $2,240,178 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 including notes payable to related parties and a $1,000,000
debenture which has been extended to May 5, 2001. This compares to $1,951,877 in
notes and capital leases payable as of June 30, 2000. Related party notes in the
amount of $329,989 are secured with the facility in Lonoke, Arkansas.
Stockholders equity: Common shares increased from 18,147,783 as of June 30, 2000
to 19,857,648 as of September 30, 2000. Most of the increase is the result of
the issuance of an additional 694,184 shares under the terms of a prior stock
issuance in February, 2000, and the result of 750,000 shares issued pursuant to
a "put" arrangement and the release of 238,095 shares which were held in escrow
from a February, 2000 agreement. Both of these transactions have been described
in prior Company filings. Total shareholder equity was $14,664,789 as compared
to $16,444,458 as of June 30, 2000. Total liabilities and stockholder's equity
was $20,155,076 on September 30, 2000 as compared to $21,846,952 on June 30,
2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources: Recently, we obtained additional loans to
provide for our cash deficiency. We believe accessing the capital markets
through our equity line of credit will be necessary to fund operations over the
near-term.
Sales: Sales increased to $3,973, 334 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000
from $2,510,752 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This is a 58%
increase. This resulted from the fact that the quarter ended in 1999 included
two months of sales from the purchase of Humboldt Industries, and the internet
sales for the September 2000 quarter was $307,625 as compared to $70,655 for the
September 1999 quarter.
Cost of Sales: Cost of sales increased from $2,816,009 as of September 30, 2000
as compared to $1,678,207 as of September 30, 1999. This is a 68% increase and
is the result of the increase in sales described above and our free shipping
policy on orders placed online.
Gross margin: Our gross margins declined to 29% for the quarter ended September
30, 2000 as compared to 33% for the same period in 1999. The lower margins are a
direct result of increasing online sales. We believe gross margins will be
stable throughout the year.
Selling expenses: Selling expenses of $848,354 for the quarter ended September
30, 2000 compare with $375,449 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The
majority of the selling expenses were attributed to the cost of the catalogs.
Administrative and general expenses increased to $1,969,431 during the quarter
ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $642,206 for the quarter ended September
30, 1999. This increase can be partially attributed to the purchases of Humboldt
Industries, WeRPets.com, Chartendure Ltd., and AllPets.com. Additionally,
amortization from stock and option grants and expenses from day-to-day
operations of our business are included in the total. Recently, we have reduced
payroll expenses and believe other reductions will occur during the remainder of
the fiscal year.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the quarter were $1,430,276 as
compared to $311,963 in the quarter ended September 30, 2000. These items
include amortizations of Humboldt Industries, WeRPets.com, Chartendure, Ltd.,
and AllPets.com. The amortizations are expected to continue for two to four more
years.
Interest expense was $91,174 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as
compared to $111,616 for the same period in 1999. Interest expense was reduced
after the Sun Valley Trust note was retired in May 2000.
Income tax benefit: We currently have substantial net operating losses (NOL'S)
from inception through September 30, 2000. At this time, no income tax benefit
has been recognized.
Net loss: We had a $3,176,726 loss for the quarter as compared to $1,260,360
loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. Non-cash items include the
goodwill amortization of Humboldt Industries, WeRPets.com, Chartendure Ltd., and
AllPets.com, depreciation expense, and stock compensation expense.
Recent Events: Several of our online competitors have announced they are ending
operations. Management believes the online customers of these companies will
search for an alternate provider of online pet supplies and accessories. We are
actively pursuing these new customers, however there is no assurance that we
will be successful in these efforts.
