DAY RUNNER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION RELATING TO THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1998,
consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management,
include all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring accruals necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for
such periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures included
in the financial statements included herein are adequate to make the information
therein not misleading. The financial statements included herein should be read
in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for
the year ended June 30, 1997, and the notes thereto, which are included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. The
seasonality of the Company's financial results and the unpredictability of the
factors affecting such seasonality make the Company's quarterly and yearly
financial results difficult to predict and subject to significant fluctuation.

========== ==========
3. LINES OF CREDIT
Effective February 1, 1998, the Company entered into a new credit
agreement with a bank to allow the Company to borrow up to $15,000,000 under a
line of credit through February 1, 2000 and open commercial or standby letters
of credit up to $10,000,000, with the aggregate of borrowings and letters of
credit not to exceed $15,000,000. Commercial letters of credit shall be issued
for a term not to exceed 180 days, provided, however, that no letters of credit
shall have an expiration date subsequent to May 1, 2000. At March 31, 1998, the
Company had no amounts outstanding under this line of credit but had outstanding
secured letters of credit totaling approximately $1,000,000.
Under this new credit agreement, borrowings bear interest at the
Company's election either at the bank's prime rate (8.50% at March 31, 1998)
less certain margins, which range from .75 to 1.00 basis points, or at LIBOR
(5.69% at March 31, 1998) plus certain margins, which range from .75 to 1.25
basis points, with the margins dependent upon the Company's meeting certain
funded debt-to-EBITDA ratios. The credit agreement requires the Company to:
maintain a current ratio of not less than 1.50 to 1.00; maintain tangible net
worth of not less than $40,000,000, increasing to not less than $45,00,000 as of
June 30, 1998; and maintain funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio of less than 1.50 to
1.00. The Company also is required to obtain the bank's approval to declare or
pay dividends in excess of $200,000.
Each of the Company's two Canadian subsidiaries has a credit agreement
with a Canadian bank. The aggregate borrowings under these lines of credit,
which are guaranteed by the Company and are used for working capital by these
subsidiaries, may not exceed Canadian $3,000,000 (approximately US $2,118,000),
bear interest at the bank's prime rate (6.5% at March 31, 1998) and are due and
payable on demand. At March 31, 1998, approximately Canadian $821,000
(approximately US $580,000) was outstanding under these lines of credit.
4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
At a Special Meeting of the Company's stockholders held on March 17,
1998, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation to: (i) effect a two-for-one split of each of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company; (ii) increase the number of
authorized shares of all classes of stock of the Company from 15,000,000 to
30,000,000, consisting of 29,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value
per share, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share.
Both actions were effective March 18, 1998. All share and per share data has
been retroactively restated to reflect the two-for-one stock split.
During the nine months ended March 31, 1998, certain directors,
officers and employees exercised options and warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 689,264 shares of the Company's Common Stock for an aggregate of
approximately $3,445,000.
5. TREASURY STOCK
During the nine months ended March 31, 1998, the Company repurchased
695,588 shares from certain officers and directors at a cost of $16.625 per
share for an aggregate of approximately $11,564,000.
6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share which
requires the Company to present basic and diluted earnings per share on the face
of the income statement. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum
of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus
the assumed exercise of all diluted securities. The following reconciles the
numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted per-share computations for
net income (in thousands, except per share amounts):

7. ACQUISITIONS
On July 29, 1997, the Company purchased the stock of Ultima
Distribution Inc. ("Ultima"), which was the distributor of the Company's
products in Canada, for approximately $130,000. The Company also entered into
non-competition agreements with certain of Ultima's former stockholders. In
addition, contingent payments may be paid over the next two years, based on
Ultima's operating performance during that period.
On October 1, 1997, the Company purchased substantially all the
operating assets of Ram Manufacturing, Inc. ("Ram"), a Little Rock, Arkansas
developer, manufacturer and marketer of wall boards. The purchase price was
approximately $2,400,000, of which approximately $1,950,000 had been paid as of
March 31, 1998. The Company also assumed certain liabilities totaling
approximately $3,000,000. In addition, contingent payments may be paid over the
next three years, based upon Ram's operating performance during that period. The
owner of Ram, who now works for Day Runner, entered into a non-competition
agreement with the Company.
On February 1, 1998, the Company purchased the stock of Timeposters
Inc. ("Timeposters"), a Canadian developer, manufacturer and marketer of
planning and presentation products, including flexible planners, planning
boards, other wall boards and easels, and entered into certain non-competition
agreements with the founders, who continue to work for Timeposters. The purchase
price was approximately $2,476,000, of which approximately $2,033,000 had been
paid as of March 31, 1998. In addition, contingent payments may be paid over the
next two years, based on Timeposters' operating performance during that period.
For financial statement purposes, all goodwill arising from these
acquisitions is being amortized over a period of 20 years on the Company's
financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is
qualified in its entirety by, the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report. historical results and
percentage relationships among any amounts included in the consolidated
financial statements are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating
results for any future period.
Since the Company's introduction of the first Day Runner System
organizer in 1982, the Company's revenues have been generated by sales primarily
of organizers and planners and secondarily of refills. Since fiscal 1995, most
of the Company's growth has resulted from sales of related organizing products,
virtually all of which have been introduced since January 1, 1995. The Company
focuses the great majority of its product development, sales and marketing
efforts on the office products channel, which accounted for 35.5% of third
quarter fiscal 1998 sales and 47.2% of sales for the nine months ended March 31,
1998, and the mass market channel, which accounted for 44.4% of third quarter
fiscal 1998 sales and 38.4% of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the

1998, sales increased by $8,368,000, or 39.8%, primarily because of increased
sales of related organizing products. In the quarter ended March 31, 1998, sales
of related organizing products grew by $4,080,000, or 228.4%; sales of
organizers and planners grew by $2,710,000, or 23.3%; and sales of refills
(which include calendars and accessories) grew by $1,578,000, or 20.8%. Product
sales were primarily to mass market customers and secondarily to office products
customers. Sales to office products customers grew by $3,236,000, or 45.1%;
sales to mass market customers grew by $2,828,000, or 27.7%; sales to foreign
customers grew by $1,773,000, or 122.9%; and sales to miscellaneous customers
grouped together as "other" increased by $531,000, or 24.4%.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit is sales less cost of goods sold, which is
comprised of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Gross profit may be
affected by, among other things, product mix, production levels, changes in
vendor and customer prices and discounts, sales volume and growth rate, sales
returns, purchasing and manufacturing efficiencies, tariffs, duties and
inventory carrying costs. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from
52.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to 51.9% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1998 primarily because the gross profit levels of certain of the
Company's subsidiaries and its Ram Manufacturing division are lower as a
percentage of sales than those of the parent company.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses increased by $2,202,000,
or 19.5%, in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 compared with the third quarter of
fiscal 1997 but decreased as a percentage of sales from 53.6% to 45.8% primarily
because third quarter fiscal 1997 operating expenses included $1,491,000 of
costs incurred in pursuing acquisitions that did not come to fruition. No such
costs were incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.
Excluding the third quarter fiscal 1997 costs of pursuing acquisitions,
total operating expenses would have grown by $3,693,000, or 37.8%, but would
have declined as a percentage of sales from 46.5% to 45.8%.
Primarily because of expenses associated with recently introduced
products, selling, marketing and distribution expenses increased by $3,087,000
and from 30.0% to 32.0% as a percentage of sales. General and administrative
expenses increased by $606,000, but declined from 16.5% to 13.8% as a percentage
of sales primarily because of the Company's increased ability to absorb fixed
costs as a result of higher sales.
NET INTEREST EXPENSE (INCOME). Primarily because of a decrease in the
Company's cash available for short-term investment resulting from the Company's
repurchase of its common stock, net interest expense for the third quarter of
fiscal 1998 was $16,000 compared with net interest income of $345,000 for the
third quarter of fiscal 1997.
INCOME TAXES. Primarily because of the improved financial results of
the Company's Hong Kong subsidiary, the Company's third quarter fiscal 1998
effective tax rate was 39.0%, compared with 40.0% for the third quarter of
fiscal 1997.
NET INCOME. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 compared
with the same quarter of fiscal 1997 increased $1,017,000 and from 0.3% to 3.7%
as a percentage of sales. Excluding the March quarter fiscal 1997 costs incurred
in pursuing acquisitions, net income would have grown by $122,000 and decreased
from 4.5% to 3.7% as a percentage of sales.
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
SALES. In the nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared with the nine
months ended March 31, 1997, sales increased by $27,331,000, or 30.5%, primarily
because of increased sales of related organizing products. In the nine months
ended March 31, 1998, sales of related organizing products grew by $18,309,000,
or 322.1%; sales of refills grew by $4,962,000, or 16.0%; and sales of
organizers and planners grew by $4,060,000, or 7.7%. Product sales were
primarily to office products customers and secondarily to mass market customers.
Sales to mass market customers grew by $11,679,000, or 35.1%; sales to office
products customers grew by $9,705,000, or 21.3%; sales to foreign customers grew
by $3,666,000, or 80.4%; and sales to miscellaneous customers grouped together
as "other" increased by $2,281,000, or 36.3%.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from
52.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 to 52.3% in the first nine months
of fiscal 1998 primarily because the gross profit levels of certain of the
Company's subsidiaries and its Ram Manufacturing division are lower as a
percentage of sales than those of the parent company and secondarily because of
a sales-growth related increase in the provision for sales rebates to be paid to
certain large customers.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses increased by $9,255,000,
or 27.3%, in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 compared with the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 but decreased as a percentage of sales from 37.9% to 37.0%
primarily because operating expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1997
included $1,491,000 of costs incurred in pursuing acquisitions that did not come
to fruition. No such costs were incurred in the first nine months of fiscal
1998.
Excluding the nine months fiscal 1997 costs of pursuing acquisitions,
total operating expenses would have grown by $10,746,000, or 33.1%, and
increased as a percentage of sales from 36.2% to 37.0%.
Primarily because of expenses associated with new and recently
introduced products, selling, marketing and distribution expenses increased by
$8,593,000 and from 24.8% to 26.4% as a percentage of sales. General and
administrative expenses increased by $2,153,000, but declined from 11.5% to
10.6% as a percentage of sales primarily because of the Company's increased
ability to absorb fixed costs as a result of higher sales.
..................
NET INTEREST EXPENSE (INCOME). Primarily because of a decrease in the
Company's cash available for short-term investment resulting from the Company's
repurchase of common stock, net interest income in the first nine months of
fiscal 1998 compared with the first nine months of fiscal 1997 decreased by
$809,000 and from 1.0% to 0.1% as a percentage of sales.
INCOME TAXES. Primarily because of the improved financial results of
the Company's Hong Kong subsidiary, the effective tax rate for the first nine
months of fiscal 1998 was 39.0%, compared with 40.0% for the first nine months
of fiscal 1997.
NET INCOME. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 1998
compared with the nine months ended March 31, 1997 increased by $2,541,000 and
was 9.4% of sales in both periods. Excluding the nine months fiscal 1997 costs
incurred in pursuing acquisitions, net income would have grown by $1,647,000 and
decreased from 10.4% to 9.4% as a percentage of sales.
EARNINGS PER SHARE. In August 1997, the Company repurchased an
aggregate of 695,588 shares from certain officers and directors of the Company.
Separately, during fiscal 1997, the Company repurchased 1,026,200 shares of
Common Stock under the Company's stock repurchase program. 373,800 shares remain
for repurchase under this program. These repurchases reduce the number of shares
that would otherwise be used to calculate earnings per share.
SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS
The Company has historically experienced and expects to continue to
experience significant seasonal fluctuations in its sales and other financial
results that it believes have resulted and will continue to result primarily
from its customers' and users' buying patterns. These buying patterns have
typically adversely affected orders for the Company's products in the third
quarter of each fiscal year.
Although it is difficult to predict the future seasonality of sales,
the Company believes that future seasonality should be influenced at least in
part by customer and user buying patterns similar to those that have
historically affected the Company. Quarterly financial results are also affected
by new product introductions and line extensions, the timing of large orders,
changes in product sales or customer mix, vendor and customer pricing,
production levels, supply and manufacturing delays, large customers' inventory
management and general industry and economic conditions. The seasonality of the
Company's financial results and the unpredictability of the factors affecting
such seasonality make the Company's quarterly and yearly financial results
difficult to predict and subject to significant fluctuation.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1998 decreased to
$11,955,000 from $15,550,000 at June 30, 1997. In the nine months ended March
31, 1998, net cash of $14,350,000 provided by operating activities, was offset
by net cash of $7,982,000 and $9,901,000 used in investing activities and
financing activities, respectively.
Of the $14,350,000 net amount provided by the Company's operating
activities, $10,951,000 was provided by net income, $14,404,000 was provided by
a decrease in accounts receivable and $3,466,000 was provided by depreciation
and amortization. These amounts were partially offset by an increase of
$9,694,000 in inventories and a decrease of $4,016,000 in accounts payable.
Of the $7,982,000 net amount used in the Company's investing activities,
$4,113,000 was used to acquire Ultima Distribution Inc., Ram Manufacturing, Inc.
and Timeposters Inc. and $3,824,000 was used to acquire primarily machinery and
equipment and secondarily computer equipment and software.
Of the $9,901,000 net amount used in the Company's financing
activities, $11,564,000 was used to repurchase 695,588 shares of Common Stock
from certain officers and directors, and $1,224,000 net was used to repay lines
of credit. These amounts were partially offset by $3,445,000 that was provided
by the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of then-outstanding stock options
and warrants.
Because of the Company's seasonal sales patterns, accounts receivable
(net) at March 31, 1998 decreased by 65.7% from the fiscal 1997 year-end amount.
Compared with the March 31, 1997 amount, accounts receivable (net) increased by
0.5% primarily because of the growth in sales but did not grow as fast as sales
because of an increase in the allowances for sales returns and other allowances.
The average collection period of accounts receivable at March 31, 1998 was 46
days, compared with 47 days at both June 30 and March 31, 1997.
Inventories at March 31, 1998 increased by 56.0% from the fiscal 1997
year-end amount and by 57.5% compared with the March 31, 1997 amount primarily
because of new and recently introduced products and the inventories of the three
companies acquired during the nine months ended March 31, 1998.
Effective February 1, 1998, the Company entered into a new $15,000,000
line of credit. Borrowings under this line of credit bear interest at the
Company's election at either the bank's prime rate less certain margins, or at
LIBOR plus certain margins, with the margins dependent upon the Company's
meeting certain funded debt-to-EBITDA ratios. Prior to February 1, 1998,
borrowings under the line bore interest either at the bank's prime rate or at
LIBOR plus 1.75%. At March 31, 1998, the Company had no amounts outstanding
under its primary bank line but had used the line to secure outstanding letters
of credit totaling approximately $1,000,000, which reduced the availability
under the line to approximately $14,000,000. (See Note 3 to Consolidated
Financial Statements.)
The Canadian lines of credit allow for aggregate borrowings by the
Company's two Canadian subsidiaries of up to Canadian $3,000,000 (approximately
US $2,118,000). Borrowings bear interest at the Canadian bank's prime rate and
are due and payable on demand. At March 31, 1998, approximately Canadian
$821,000 (approximately US $580,000) was outstanding under these lines of
credit. (See Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The Company has not incurred significant losses or gains from foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations. The continuing expansion of the Company's
international operations could, however, result in larger gains or losses as a
result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as those subsidiaries
conduct business in whole or in part in foreign currencies.
The Company believes that cash flow from operations, vendor credit, its
existing working capital and its bank lines of credit will be sufficient to
satisfy the Company's anticipated cash requirements at least through the next 12
months. Nonetheless, the Company may seek additional sources of capital as
necessary or appropriate for corporate finance purposes or to otherwise finance
the Company's growth or operations; however, there can be no assurance that such
funds if needed will be available on favorable terms, if at all.
The "Year 2000" issue refers to the inability of certain computer
systems to recognize accurate dates commencing on or after January 1, 2000. This
has the potential to affect the operation of these systems adversely and
materially. Day Runner has reviewed its computer systems to identify areas that
may be affected and believes that by modifying existing software and converting
to new software for certain tasks it can prevent the Year 2000 transition from
posing significant operational problems. The Company does not anticipate that
the costs of these modifications and conversions will be material to its
financial position or results of operations in any given year. The Company
currently estimates that total incremental cash requirements related to the Year
2000 issue will be approximately $500,000 to $900,000 and to date has spent
approximately $545,000. Expenditures will be expensed or capitalized as
appropriate.

customers' inventory management, general economic conditions, the health of the
retail environment, supply constraints, supplier performance and other risks
