Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the three months ended December 31, 1996 compared to the three months ended
December 31, 1995:
Net sales. Net sales in the first quarter ended December 31, 1996 were
$47,327,714 compared with $38,589,126 for the prior comparable period, an
increase of $8,738,588 or 22.6%. Wholesale-retail sales increased $6.8
million or 26.1% due to an increase in the number of retail stores over the
comparable period; mail order sales were $14.6 million, compared to $12.5 for
the prior comparable period, an increase of $2.1 or 17.0% due to the
introduction of new products and a successful space-ad promotion. Sales for
the Company's new mail order operation in the United Kingdom were $0.6
million in 1996. This operation did not exist in 1995.
Costs and expenses. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 47.7% for 1996
and 53.9% for 1995. The decrease was associated with lower raw material
costs, manufacturing efficiencies and changes in product mix.
Catalog printing, postage, and promotion expenses were $4,050,158 in 1996, a
decrease of $514,022 (11.6% decrease), from $4,564,180 in 1995. As a
percentage of sales, expenses were 8.6% for the current quarter and 11.8% for
the prior comparable quarter. The decrease was attributable to a less active
advertising schedule.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $14,971,935 for the quarter,
or 31.6% as a percentage of sales, compared with $13,515,907, or 35.1% as a
percentage of sales, an increase of $1,456,028. The largest segments are
indirect salaries, fringe benefits, freight and building. Increases were
primarily in indirect salaries, building and outside services. These expenses
increased due to the retail store expansion and the opening of the
international mail order operations.
Other income includes rental income of $146,663.
Income before income taxes was $5,483,663 for 1996 and a loss before income tax
benefit of $411,627 for 1995. After income taxes, the Company had a net
profit of $3,290,198 (or earnings per share of $0.16) for the quarter ended
December 31, 1996, and a net loss of $251,142 (or loss per share of $0.01)
for the three months ended December 31, 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company believes it has adequate working capital to meet its obligations in
the normal course of business. On April 3, 1996, the Company renewed a
revolving credit agreement with two banks that provides for unsecured
borrowings up to $15,000,000 which expires March 31, 1999. At December 31,
1996, there were no borrowings under this agreement. In April 1996, the
Company obtained a $6,000,000 first mortgage with a fixed interest rate of
7.375%, collateralized by the underlying real estate. The mortgage has
monthly principal and interest payments of $55,196 for fifteen years through
2011. The Company renewed a $10,000,000 capital lease facility.
Capital improvements
The Company expects to build a new manufacturing facility. The estimated cost of
land, building and equipment is approximately $25 million dollars and will be
financed by internally generated funds and mortgage financing. The Company
has committed to a $4 million automated picking and packing system for its
mail-order distribution which will be funded by lease financing.
Net cash used in operating activities was $718,195 and $4,744,747 in 1996 and
1995, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities was $5,714,874 and
$6,602,080 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net cash used in financing
activities was $264,949 in 1996 and provided by financing activities was
$1,398,900 in 1995.
On October 9, 1995, the Company sold certain assets of its direct-mail cosmetics
business for approximately $2,495,000. The Company received $350,000 in cash
and non-interest bearing notes aggregating approximately $2,145,000 for
inventory, a customer list and other intangible assets. The notes will be
paid over a three-year period based on a predetermined formula with
guaranteed minimum payments. A final payment for the remaining outstanding
balance will be made on September 30, 1998.
Management believes that inflation did not have a significant impact on
operations.
