NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2000,
consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America 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,
1999, 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,
2000 and 1999 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.
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period financial
statements to conform to the current period presentation.
2. INVENTORIES

3. LINE OF CREDIT
On September 23, 1998, the Company entered into a $160,000,000
Revolving Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association ("Wells Fargo"). Effective November 24, 1998, this amount was
voluntarily reduced to $145,000,000, and unamortized financing fees of
approximately $84,000 were charged to interest expense. The loan facility was
syndicated with a group of banks in December 1998.
<PAGE>
On October 12, 1999, the Company and the banks amended the Loan
Agreement (the "Amended Loan Agreement"). The Amended Loan Agreement converted
the entire outstanding revolving loan balance into a term loan portion of
$90,444,000 and a revolving credit loan portion of $29,556,000. The term loan
matures on September 30, 2001, and the revolving credit loan facility matures on
October 9, 2000. The maturity date of the revolving credit loan facility could
be automatically extended through September 30, 2001, provided that the Company
achieves as of September 30, 2000 a minimum EBITDA, a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio and a maximum senior funded debt ratio, as defined in the amended
agreement. The Company does not, however, anticipate that it will achieve these
requirements and accordingly expects the revolving facility will terminate on
October 9, 2000 unless the credit facility is further amended or renegotiated.
As a result of the amendment of the Loan Agreement, unamortized financing fees
due under the Loan Agreement of approximately $955,000 were charged to interest
expense in October 1999. At March 31, 2000, the Company had $92,993,000
outstanding under the Amended Loan Agreement and had outstanding letters of
credit totaling approximately $40,000.
The Amended Loan Agreement is secured by the Company's assets and
includes, among other things, financial covenants requiring the maintenance of a
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, EBITDA, stockholders' equity and current
ratio, and a maximum senior funded debt coverage ratio and operating expenses to
net sales ratio, as defined in the amended agreement. The Amended Loan Agreement
also limits, among other things, the incurrence of liens and other indebtedness,
mergers, consolidations, the sale of assets, annual capital expenditures,
advances, investments and loans by the Company and its subsidiaries, dividends,
stock repurchases and certain transactions with affiliates. It permits up to
$10,000,000 of secured debt for currency hedging purposes and up to $1,500,000
of unsecured overdraft borrowings for foreign subsidiaries.
The outstanding balances bear interest at the Company's election at
either (i) the higher of the Agent Bank's prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate
plus 50.00 basis points, plus an interest rate margin ranging from 12.50 to
200.00 basis points, or (ii) the applicable eurodollar rate plus an interest
rate margin ranging from 112.50 to 300.00 basis points, depending on the level
of the funded debt ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter. During the nine
months ended March 31, 2000, the weighted-average interest rate was 9.14%. The
interest rate at March 31, 2000 was 9.13%.
Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay
certain fees, which include: an unused revolving loan commitment fee ranging
from 37.50 to 67.50 basis points, which varies with the level of the funded debt
ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter, payable quarterly in arrears; letter of
credit fees ranging from 112.50 to 300.00 basis points, which vary with the
level of the funded debt ratio at the time the letter of credit is issued; and
amendment and other standard fees of approximately $1,700,000, which were paid
during the nine months ended March 31, 2000.
On March 31, 2000, the Company and its banks entered into a waiver
agreement which modifies, for the period of the waiver agreement, the
stockholders' equity covenant in the Amended Loan Agreement. In the waiver, the
revolving credit loan facility was voluntarily reduced by $10,000,000 and the
availability under the revolving facility for the duration of the waiver was
limited to $5,000,000. The waiver expires as of June 1, 2000. Because the waiver
continues for less than a one year period, the Company's bank debt is classified
as short-term in its March 31, 2000 consolidated balance sheet. The Company is
working with its banks to renegotiate the credit facility.
<PAGE>
4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the nine months ended March 31, 2000, certain employees
exercised options to purchase an aggregate of 2,022 shares of the Company's
Common Stock for an aggregate of approximately $33,000.
5. REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
At a Special Meeting of the Company's stockholders held on April 25,
2000, the Company's stockholders approved a reverse stock split of the Company's
outstanding shares of Common Stock. Following the stockholders' vote, the Board
of Directors voted to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to effect
a one-for-five reverse stock split of each of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company. This action was effective May 1, 2000. The reverse stock
split was intended to help the Company comply with the Nasdaq minimum bid
requirements to maintain its listing on the Nasdaq National Market. All common
share and per share data has been retroactively restated to reflect the
one-for-five reverse stock split in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. (See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Nasdaq National
Market Listing.)
6. (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic (loss) earnings per share are computed by dividing net (loss)
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share are computed by dividing net (loss)
income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for the period plus the assumed exercise of all dilutive securities. The
following reconciles the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted per
share computations for net (loss) income (in thousands, except per share
amounts):

equivalent to approximately 648,700 and 533,800 shares, respectively, and for
the three months ended March 31, 1999, dilutive securities equivalent to 342,800
shares are not included as potential common share equivalents because they are
antidilutive.

8. FACILITIES CLOSURE COSTS
On December 29, 1999, the Company announced that it was developing a
plan to restructure its operations to substantially cut costs. As part of this
restructuring, the Company closed its Irvine headquarters and consolidated those
activities into its Fullerton plant in mid-March. Additionally, the Company is
in the process of closing its Filofax subsidiary's two manufacturing plants in
the United Kingdom and moving those activities to subcontractors, a process that
the Company expects to complete by fiscal year-end. As a result of these
closures, the Company charged $3,030,000 to operating expenses during the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, all of which is included in accrued expenses at
March 31, 2000. Included in the facilities closure costs of $3,030,000 is
approximately $825,000 in severance costs, which the Company expects to pay out
during the quarter ending June 30, 2000. The remaining balance of approximately
$2,205,000 represents a provision for estimated losses on the disposal of
property and equipment and the cancellation of certain leases and contracts
which the Company expects to substantially settle during the quarter ending June
30, 2000.
9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's operating segments have similar economic characteristics
and, as such, the Company has aggregated six operating segments into a single
reportable segment in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information. The business activities of the Company's operating segment
are the development, manufacturing and marketing of paper-based organizers for
the retail market. In addition, the Company also develops, manufactures and
markets a number of related organizing products including telephone/address
books, business accessories, products for students and organizing and other
wallboards.
The Company groups its products into three categories: organizers and
planners; their refills, which include calendars, other pages and accessories;
and related organizing products. The following table sets forth, for the periods

11. CONTINGENCIES
In September 1999, two, and in October 1999, one additional, purported
securities class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court
for the Central District California (the "District Court") against the Company
and certain of its officers and directors. The complaints alleged that the
Company violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5
thereunder through the misstatement of the Company's financial results of
operations for the first through third quarters of fiscal 1999. These alleged
misstatements purportedly consisted of improper accounting for manufacturing
variances and other costs. The plaintiffs in all these actions purport to
represent a class consisting of all purchasers of the Company's Common Stock
between October 20, 1998 and August 31, 1999.
On January 14, 2000, a consolidated amended complaint (the "Amended
Complaint") was filed in the District Court against the Company and certain of
its officers and directors. The Amended Complaint extended the time period for
purported class members to include persons who purchased the Company's Common
Stock between February 1, 1998 through August 31, 1999. In addition to the
alleged misstatements included in the earlier complaints, the Amended Complaint
alleges that the Company failed to make certain disclosures during this time
period and that certain officers and directors sold shares of the Company's
Common Stock during this period. As they did in the earlier complaints, the
plaintiffs are seeking unspecified compensatory damages in the Amended
Complaint.
In April 2000, the plaintiffs agreed in principle to dismiss the
Amended Complaint without prejudice. Although no dismissal has yet been filed,
plaintiffs have committed to file their dismissal prior to May 18, 2000.
The Company is not a party to any other litigation that, in the opinion
of management, would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect
on the consolidated 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, a
majority of the Company's internally generated growth has resulted from sales of
related organizing products. For a number of years, the Company focused the
great majority of its product development, sales and marketing efforts on the
U.S. office products channel, which accounted for 33.6% of third quarter fiscal
2000 net sales and 34.1% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2000,
and the U.S. mass market channel, which accounted for 22.1% of third quarter
fiscal 2000 net sales and 20.0% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31,
2000. With the October 30, 1998 acquisition of Filofax, the Company
substantially increased its distribution in markets outside the U.S., and sales
to foreign customers accounted for 33.2% of third quarter fiscal 2000 net sales
and 37.4% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2000.
RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS
For a number of quarters, the Company's results have been adversely
affected by changes in the supply chain management practices of the large U.S.
retailers that account for the bulk of the Company's U.S. sales. The Company
believes that the U.S. retail environment has changed and that large U.S.
retailers will continue to emphasize minimizing on-hand inventories and
increasing inventory turns.
On December 29, 1999, the Company announced that it is developing a
plan to restructure its operations to substantially cut costs.
As part of this restructuring, the Company (i) flattened its
organization and reduced headcount in January, 2000; (ii) closed its Irvine
headquarters and consolidated those activities into its Fullerton plant in
mid-March; and (iii) is in the process of closing its Filofax subsidiary's two
manufacturing plants in the United Kingdom and moving those activities to
subcontractors, a process that the Company expects to complete by fiscal
year-end. The resulting severance costs of $401,000 and the facilities closure
costs of $3,030,000 are included in third quarter fiscal 2000 operating expenses
of which $3,149,000 is included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2000. Included
in the facilities closure costs of $3,030,000 is approximately $825,000 in
severance costs, which the Company expects to pay out during the quarter ending
June 30, 2000. The remaining balance of approximately $2,205,000 represents a
provision for estimated losses on the disposal of property and equipment and the
cancellation of certain leases and contracts which the Company expects to
substantially settle during the quarter ending June 30, 2000.
The Company's goal is to complete the bulk of its restructuring by the
end of the fiscal year. The Company expects a substantial loss in the June
quarter, reflecting the effects of a number of factors, including continued
constraints on its U.S. sales, the decision to eliminate some less profitable
back-to-school promotional activity and additional restructuring costs.

</TABLE>
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED WITH
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
Net Sales. Net sales consist of revenues from gross product shipments
net of allowances for returns, rebates and credits. In the third quarter of
fiscal 2000, net sales decreased by $6,240,000, or 17.2%, compared with the
third quarter of fiscal 1999. For a number of quarters, the Company has been
adversely affected by changes in the retail environment related to the supply
chain management practices of its large U.S. customers. This "inventory
tightening," which has resulted in lower gross shipments and increased returns,
continued to constrain the Company's net sales in the fiscal 2000 third quarter.
Other major factors causing lower net sales for the quarter include the
reduction of certain kinds of promotional activity and the Company's decision to
de-emphasize sales to certain less profitable distribution channels.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2000, net sales to the office products
channel decreased by $526,000, or 5.0%; net sales to mass market customers
decreased by $3,507,000, or 34.6%, net sales to foreign customers decreased by
$1,124,000, or 10.2%, and net sales to miscellaneous customers grouped together
as "other," decreased by $1,083,000, or 24.5%.
Net sales of organizers and planners declined by $3,609,000, or 21.6%,
and net sales of refills declined by $3,282,000, or 26.7%. Net sales of related
organizing products grew by $651,000, or 9.1%.
Gross Profit. Gross profit is net 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, net sales volume and growth rate,
sales returns and other allowances, purchasing and manufacturing efficiencies,
tariffs, duties and inventory carrying costs. Gross profit as a percentage of
net sales decreased from 45.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 to 39.3% in
the third quarter of fiscal 2000 primarily because lower volume decreased the
Company's ability to absorb fixed costs and reduced production efficiency.
Operating Expenses. Because of $3,030,000 in facilities closure costs
resulting from the Company's ongoing restructuring of operations, total
operating expenses increased by $1,916,000, or 8.8%, in the third quarter of
fiscal 2000, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Without these
costs, total operating expenses would have decreased by $1,114,000, or 5.1%.
Selling, marketing and distribution expenses decreased by $1,830,000, or 12.5%
primarily because of the Company's focus on controlling costs. General and
administrative expenses increased by $716,000, or 10.0%, primarily because of
higher general and administrative costs incurred by the Company's Filofax
subsidiary.
Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense for the third quarter of
fiscal 2000 rose to $2,726,000, compared with $1,770,000 for the third quarter
of fiscal 1999, primarily because of lower interest income due to lower cash
balances on hand throughout the quarter.
Income Taxes. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2,305,000
for the third quarter of fiscal 2000, compared with an income tax benefit of
$2,638,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1999, and an effective tax rate of
15.7%, compared with 37.2%. The Company's tax benefit for the fiscal 2000 third
quarter was lower than it otherwise would have been, however, because of the
Company's inability to fully utilize its foreign tax credits and the pledging of
the capital stock of Day Runner Hong Kong Ltd. as part of the security required
by the Company's Amended Loan Agreement.
<PAGE>
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED WITH
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
Net Sales. During the nine months ended March 31, 2000, net sales
decreased by $9,200,000, or 6.2%, primarily because of the ongoing impact of
U.S. retailers' inventory tightening, which reduced gross product shipments and
increased returns. Net sales to office products customers declined by
$5,269,000, or 10.0%, and net sales to mass market customers decreased by
$21,125,000, or 43.1%. Because of the inclusion of Filofax's net sales for the
entire nine months, compared with five months of the same period of fiscal 1999,
net sales to foreign customers grew by $16,669,000, or 47.1%, and net sales to
miscellaneous customers grouped together as "other" increased by $525,000, or
4.6%.
Because of the inclusion of Filofax's net sales for the entire first
nine months of fiscal 2000, net sales of organizers and planners increased by
$965,000, or 1.6%, and net sales of refills grew by $482,000, or 0.9%. Net sales
of related organizing products decreased by $10,647,000, or 28.7%.
Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from
47.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 1999 to 45.7% for the first nine months
of fiscal 2000. A decline in the gross profit of the Company's U.S. operations
resulting primarily from an increase in the provision for sales returns was
partially offset by the inclusion of Filofax's gross profit for the entire
nine-month period ended March 31, 2000, compared with five months of the same
period of last year.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased by $6,966,000,
or 10.7%, in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared with the first nine
months of fiscal 1999 and increased as a percentage of sales from 43.9% to
51.8%. The dollar increase resulted primarily from the inclusion of Filofax's
expenses for the entire nine months ended March 31, 2000, compared with five
months of the same period last year, and secondarily from $3,030,000 in
facilities closure costs resulting from the Company's ongoing restructuring of
its operations. Without the facilities closure costs, total operating expenses
would have been 49.6% of sales.
Selling, marketing and distribution expenses increased by $487,000, or
1.1%, and general and administrative expenses grew by $4,521,000, or 24.8%,
because of the inclusion of Filofax's expenses for the entire nine-month period
compared with five months of the same period last year. As a percentage of net
sales, selling, marketing and distribution expenses increased from 30.9% to
33.3%, and general and administrative expenses increased from 12.3% to 16.3%
because of the Company's decreased ability to absorb expenses as a result of the
decline in U.S. net sales.
Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense for the first nine months of
fiscal 2000 was $8,693,000, compared with $3,159,000 for the first nine months
of fiscal 1999, primarily because the Company's bank debt, which was principally
incurred to finance the Filofax acquisition, was outstanding for the entire
nine-month period ended March 31, 2000, compared with approximately four and
one-half months of the same period last year. Additionally, as a result of the
amendment of the Loan Agreement, unamortized financing fees due under the Loan
Agreement of approximately $955,000 were charged to interest expense in October
1999 (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Income Taxes. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2,674,000
for the first nine months of fiscal 2000, compared with an income tax provision
of $853,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1999, and an effective tax rate
of 15.6%, compared with 40.5%. The Company's tax benefit for the fiscal 2000
nine months was lower than it otherwise would have been, however, because of the
Company's inability to fully utilize its foreign tax credits and the pledging of
the capital stock of Day Runner Hong Kong Ltd. as part of the security required
by the Company's Amended Loan Agreement.
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 from North
American customers in the third quarter of each fiscal year and from customers
outside North America in the third and fourth 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 substantially similar to those that
have historically affected the Company. In addition, the Company expects that
the changes in the supply chain management practices of its large U.S. customers
and the Company's efforts to respond to those changes will reduce its
back-to-school sales in the June quarter of fiscal 2000 and may exacerbate the
Company's seasonality in the future. 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
General. The Company's cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2000
decreased to $8,598,000 from $9,132,000 at June 30, 1999. During the nine months
ended March 31, 2000, net cash of $19,147,000 was provided by operating
activities which was partially offset by net cash of $3,265,000 and $16,585,000
used in financing activities and investing activities, respectively.
Of the $19,147,000 net amount provided by the Company's operating
activities, $17,214,000 was provided by the provision for doubtful accounts and
sales returns and other allowances, $9,228,000 was provided by depreciation and
amortization, $10,008,000 was provided by a decrease in accounts receivable,
$1,617,000 was provided by a decrease in inventories, $1,417,000 was provided by
a decrease in accrued expenses and $1,101,000 was provided by an increase in
income taxes payable. These amounts were partially offset by a net loss of
$14,468,000 and a decrease of 8,037,000 in accounts payable.
Accounts receivable (net) at March 31, 2000 decreased by 62.7% from the
fiscal 1999 year-end amount and by 35.5% from the March 31, 1999 amount
primarily because of the decrease in U.S. sales and secondarily because of the
improvement in the average collection period. The average collection period of
accounts receivable at March 31, 2000 was 55 days, compared with 74 days at June
30, 1999 and 65 days at March 31, 1999.
Inventories at March 31, 2000 decreased by 3.7% from the fiscal 1999
year end amount and by 5.0% from the March 31, 1999 amount primarily because of
lower forecasted sales.
Of the $3,265,000 net amount used in the Company's investing
activities, $3,230,000 was used to acquire primarily machinery and equipment and
secondarily data processing equipment and software.
Of the $16,585,000 net amount used in the Company's financing
activities, $12,815,000 was repaid on the line of credit and $2,093,000 was used
to repay loan notes incurred in connection with the Filofax acquisition and
$1,710,000 was used for payment of financing fees in connection with the Amended
Loan Agreement.
Bank Loan. On September 23, 1998, the Company entered into a
$160,000,000 Revolving Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"). Effective November 24, 1998, this
amount was voluntarily reduced to $145,000,000, and unamortized financing fees
of approximately $84,000 were charged to interest expense. The loan facility was
syndicated with a group of banks in December 1998.
On October 12, 1999, the Company and the banks amended the Loan
Agreement (the "Amended Loan Agreement"). The Amended Loan Agreement converted
the entire outstanding revolving loan balance into a term loan portion of
$90,444,000 and a revolving credit loan portion of $29,556,000. The term loan
matures on September 30, 2001, and the revolving credit loan facility matures on
October 9, 2000. The maturity date of the revolving credit loan facility could
be automatically extended through September 30, 2001, provided that the Company
achieves as of September 30, 2000 a minimum EBITDA, a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio and a maximum senior funded debt ratio, as defined in the amended
agreement. The Company does not, however, anticipate that it will achieve these
requirements and accordingly expects the revolving facility will terminate on
October 9, 2000 unless the credit facility is further amended or renegotiated.
As a result of the amendment of the Loan Agreement, unamortized financing fees
due under the Loan Agreement of approximately $955,000 were charged to interest
expense in October 1999. At March 31, 2000, the Company had $92,993,000
outstanding under the Amended Loan Agreement and had outstanding letters of
credit totaling approximately $40,000.
The Amended Loan Agreement is secured by the Company's assets and
includes, among other things, financial covenants requiring the maintenance of a
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, EBITDA, stockholders' equity and current
ratio, and a maximum senior funded debt coverage ratio and operating expenses to
net sales ratio, as defined in the amended agreement. The Amended Loan Agreement
also limits, among other things, the incurrence of liens and other indebtedness,
mergers, consolidations, the sale of assets, annual capital expenditures,
advances, investments and loans by the Company and its subsidiaries, dividends,
stock repurchases and certain transactions with affiliates. It permits up to
$10,000,000 of secured debt for currency hedging purposes and up to $1,500,000
of unsecured overdraft borrowings for foreign subsidiaries.
The outstanding balances bear interest at the Company's election at
either (i) the higher of the Agent Bank's prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate
plus 50.00 basis points, plus an interest rate margin ranging from 12.50 to
200.00 basis points, or (ii) the applicable eurodollar rate plus an interest
rate margin ranging from 112.50 to 300.00 basis points, depending on the level
of the funded debt ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter. During the nine
months ended March 31, 2000, the weighted-average interest rate was 9.14%. The
interest rate at March 31, 2000 was 9.13%.
Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay
certain fees, which include: an unused revolving loan commitment fee ranging
from 37.50 to 67.50 basis points, which varies with the level of the funded debt
ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter, payable quarterly in arrears; letter of
credit fees ranging from 112.50 to 300.00 basis points, which vary with the
level of the funded debt ratio at the time the letter of credit is issued; and
amendment and other standard fees of approximately $1,700,000, which were paid
during the nine months ended March 31, 2000.
On March 31, 2000, the Company and its banks entered into a waiver
agreement which modifies, for the period of the waiver agreement, the
stockholders' equity covenant in the Amended Loan Agreement. In the waiver, the
revolving credit loan facility was voluntarily reduced by $10,000,000 and the
availability under the revolving facility for the duration of the waiver was
limited to $5,000,000. The waiver expires as of June 1, 2000. Because the waiver
continues for less than a one year period, the Company's bank debt is classified
as short-term in its March 31, 2000 consolidated balance sheet. The Company is
working with its banks to renegotiate the credit facility.
Foreign Currency. Certain of the Company's international operations
conduct business in whole or in part in foreign currencies, and this can result
in significant gains or losses as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations increased as a result of the Filofax acquisition because the
acquisition significantly expanded the Company's international operations.
Included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements
of operations are approximately $784,000 and $273,000 of foreign exchange losses
for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
A single currency called the euro was introduced in certain countries
in Europe on January 1, 1999, but will not, at least for the foreseeable future,
be introduced in the United Kingdom. The use of a single currency may affect the
ability of Day Runner and other companies to price their products differently in
various European markets. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of
the single currency in these markets.
Adequacy of Capital. The Company's liquidity is significantly
dependent upon its continued compliance with the terms of the Amended Loan
Agreement and its ability to renegotiate or obtain waivers of terms and
conditions of the Amended Loan Agreement. These terms presently include, among
others, payment of interest and principal when due and maintenance of certain
financial ratios. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
continue to comply with the terms of the Amended Loan Agreement and/or obtain
waivers of these or other terms in the agreement or renegotiate the credit
facility (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) The Company
believes that if it is able to continue to comply and/or obtain the appropriate
waiver(s) and/or renegotiate the facility, cash flow from operations, vendor
credit, its existing working capital and its term and revolving credit loans
will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's anticipated cash requirements at
least through fiscal 2000. Nonetheless, the Company may seek additional sources
of capital as necessary or appropriate to 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.
Nasdaq National Market Listing. The Company's Common Stock is currently
traded on the Nasdaq National Market System (the "NMS"). In February and March
of this year the Company was notified that it had failed to satisfy two listing
requirements for the NMS: $5.00 minimum bid requirement and a minimum public
float value of $15,000,000. The Company was given until May 17 and June 5, 2000,
respectively, to achieve and maintain compliance with these requirements.
In an effort to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement, the Board of
Directors voted to recommend a reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding
shares of Common Stock. At a Special Meeting of the Company's stockholders held
on April 25, 2000, the Company's stockholders approved the reverse stock split.
Following the stockholders' vote, the Board of Directors voted to amend the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one-for-five reverse stock
split of each of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock. The
Company's Common Stock traded on the NMS on a post-split basis beginning May 1,
2000.
The Company's Common Stock has failed to achieve or maintain a minimum
bid of $5.00 since May 1, 2000 and accordingly, the Company plans to appeal this
issue to the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel (the "Panel") pursuant to
applicable Nasdaq rules. The hearing on the Company's appeal will stay the
delisting pending the Panel's decision. There can be no assurance that the Panel
will rule favorably on the Company's appeal. In the event that its appeal is
unsuccessful, the Company anticipates that its Common Stock will be delisted
shortly after the Panel's decision and its Common Stock will trade as a bulletin
board stock following its delisting from NMS unless it is able to achieve and
maintain the listing requirements for the Nasdaq Small Cap Market at such time.
The Company's failure to maintain its NMS listing or qualify for the
Nasdaq Small Cap Market could negatively impact its ability to raise capital in
the future.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
With the exception of actual reported financial results and other
historical information, the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") constitute "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the federal securities laws and involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Such statements are indicated by words or phrases such as
"believes," "will," "plan," "goals," "project," "expect," "intends" and similar
words or phrases. These forward looking statements are based on management's
expectations as of the date set forth on the signature page of this document,
and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update any of these
statements.
There can be no assurance that the Company's actual future
performance will meet its expectations. The Company is subject to a number of
risks, and its future operating results are difficult to predict and subject to
significant fluctuations. These include but are not limited to: (1) the Company
may not be able to counteract the effects of large customers' inventory
tightening in any significant way, which may result in lower than expected sales
and/or higher than expected product returns; (2) the Company may not correctly
anticipate the product mix of retailers' "just-in-time" inventory demands,
resulting in the temporary unavailability of the products in demand by retailers
and lower sales; (3) the Company's efforts to restructure may not prove
sufficient to prevent future operating losses; and (4) the Company may not be
able to obtain future waivers of the terms of its bank loan agreement and/or
successfully renegotiate that agreement, and this would negatively affect the
Company's ability to meet its cash requirements to finance its operations.
Additional factors that may cause future results to differ materially
from the Company's current expectations include, among others: the timing and
size of orders from large customers; timing and size of orders for new products;
competition from both other paper-based and technology-based organizing products
and services; consumer demand; market acceptance of new products; general
economic conditions, especially the sustainability of the current economic
expansion; the health of the retail environment; foreign exchange rate
fluctuations; supply and manufacturing constraints; supplier performance; and
changes in the Company's effective tax rate. Among the effects of these factors
may be: lower than anticipated sales; higher than anticipated product returns
and/or excess inventory; negative effects on consumer purchases; lower than
anticipated gross profit; higher than anticipated operating expenses; and lower
than anticipated net income.
For additional risks and more detailed explanations of factors that may
cause the Company's results of operations to vary materially from current
expectations, see the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1999 filed
with the SEC.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXPOSURE
The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, and interest and
principal payments on its long-term debts will be in U.S. dollars and pounds
Sterling. A portion of revenues and operating costs are derived from sales and
operations outside the United States and are incurred in a number of different
currencies. Accordingly, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may have a
significant effect on the Company's results of operations and balance sheet
data. The Company has no significant exposure from financial instruments which
would require quantitative disclosure.
