NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL
QuickResponse Services, Inc. (the Company) provides a centralized product
information database (The QRS Catalog), electronic data interchange
services (EDI services), transportation and logistics services (Easy EDI
and LMS) and Collaborative Replenishment Services (CRS) to retailers and
merchandise suppliers or vendors, to automate and improve their merchandise
management.
The balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, the statements of earnings for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the statement
of shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, and
the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows at September 30, 1996 and for all periods
presented have been made. The balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 is
derived from the Company's audited financial statements as of that date.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted as permitted by regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain previously furnished
amounts have been reclassified to conform with presentations made during
the current periods. It is suggested that these interim condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual audited
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995.
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles necessarily requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for
the periods presented. Actual amounts may differ from such estimates.
The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results anticipated for the
full year.
2. STOCK OPTIONS
During the first nine months of 1996, the Company granted options to
purchase 70,000 shares of the Company's common stock at prices of $21.875
to $36.5625 based on quoted market prices at the dates of the grant under
the Company's incentive compensation and automatic grant plans. During the
first nine months of 1996, options to purchase 57,981 shares of common
stock and warrants to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock were exercised.
At September 30, 1996, 665,511 shares are subject to outstanding options,
of which 165,761 options are exercisable. During the first nine months of
1996, shareholders approved an additional 500,000 share allocation to the
stock option pool. Options to purchase approximately 696,496 shares of
common stock are available for future grants under plans. During the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, compensation expense recognized pursuant
to the granting of stock options totaled $26,000 as a result of amendments
to certain options.

PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIS FORM 10-Q CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WHICH INVOLVE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM
THE RESULTS DISCUSSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF
CERTAIN OF THE RISK FACTORS SET FORTH IN THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON
FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995.
GENERAL
QuickResponse Services, Inc. is the leading provider of merchandise
logistics solutions throughout the entire retail demand chain. The Company
works with its customers and partners to facilitate and optimize the flow
of information, goods and services throughout the retail industry. The
Company's products include a centralized product information database (The
QRS Catalog), QRSolutions...Collaborative Replenishment Services (CRS),
which includes replenishment, sales analysis and forecasting, Electronic
Data Interchange and related network services (EDI Services),
transportation services including Logistics Management Systems (EasyEDI and
LMS) and internet products and services. The Company derives revenues from
four principal and related sources: the transmission of standard business
documents over a network; monthly charges for accessing The QRS Catalog;
CRS related fees based on the number of U.P.C.'s managed per store and
logistics management services and consulting fees. EDI Services pricing is
based primarily on the volume of characters transmitted and the type of
network access utilized, and also incorporates discounts based on volume.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's revenues increased by 34% to $14.7 million for the third
quarter of 1996, from $10.9 million for the third quarter of 1995. The
Company's revenues increased by 35% to $41.0 million during the first nine
months of 1996 from $30.4 million for the same period of 1995. These
increases were primarily attributable to three factors. First, the number
of customers increased from 151 retailers and 4,129 vendors as of
September 30, 1995 to 196 retailers and 5,006 vendors and carriers as of
September 30, 1996. Second, the number of catalog trading partnerships
increased as a result of the increase in the number of customers and their
trading links with each other. Third, customers increased the number, type
and size of transactions transmitted over the network, as well as the
utilization of The QRS Catalog. Revenues associated with the Company's
other products have not contributed a significant amount of revenue to the
Company during the first nine months of 1996.
Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of purchasing network services
and the cost of the Company's data center and technical customer support
services. Cost of sales increased by 32% to $8.8 million for the third
quarter of 1996, from $6.7 million for the third quarter of 1995. Cost of
sales increased by 34% to $24.8 million during the first nine months of
1996 from $18.5 million for the same period of 1995. The increase was
principally due to increases in purchased network services reflecting
growth in EDI Services and an expanded customer support group and data
center operations reflecting growth in the Company's value-added
applications. The gross profit margin was 40% for the third quarter of
1996 and 39% for 1995. There were no significant changes in prices charged
to customers for catalog or EDI Services.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and
personnel-related costs in the Company's sales and marketing organizations,
as well as the costs of various marketing programs. Sales and marketing
expenses increased 31% to $1.6 million for the third quarter of 1996, from
$1.2 million for the third quarter of 1995. Sales and marketing expenses
increased by 34% to $4.8 million for the first nine months of 1996,
compared to $3.6 million for the same period of 1995. The increase results
from increased introduction expenditures related to the Company's new
product releases in the first half of 1996 as well as increased personnel
costs to support the Company's growth in revenues and customers.
Product development expenses consist primarily of personnel and equipment
costs related to new product development and upgrade of existing service
offerings. Product development costs
8
<PAGE>
increased by 67% to $865,000 for the third quarter of 1996, from $517,000
for the third quarter of 1995. Product development costs increased by 66%
to $2.2 million for the first nine months of 1996 compared to $1.3 million
for the same period in 1995. The increase primarily resulted from
additional employees and consultants working on product development
projects.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the personnel and
related costs of the Company's finance and administrative organizations, as
well as professional fees and other costs, such as directors and officers'
liability insurance. General and administrative expenses increased 24% to
$952,000 for the third quarter of 1996, compared to $765,000 for the third
quarter of 1995. General and administrative expenses increased by 16% to
$2.6 million for the first nine months of 1996 compared to $2.3 million for
the same period in 1995. The increase was primarily due to increased
payroll and professional fees.
Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on cash, cash
equivalents and investment securities. Interest income increased to
$418,000 for the third quarter of 1996, compared to $402,000 for the third
quarter of 1995 as a result of higher invested balances offset partially by
a lower yield on investments. Interest income was $1.1 million for the
first nine months of 1996 and 1995.
Income tax was $1.1 million for the third quarter of 1996, compared to
$852,000 for the third quarter of 1995. Income taxes were $3.1 million for
the first nine months of 1996 compared to $2.3 million for the same period
in 1995. The 1996 and 1995 income tax rates of 40% approximate the combined
effective federal and state income tax rates.
As a result of the foregoing, net earnings increased 32% to $1.7 million
for the third quarter of 1996, compared to $1.3 million for the third
quarter of 1995. Net earnings for the first nine months of 1996 was $4.6
million compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital decreased from $25.4 million at December 31,
1995 to $22.3 million at September 30, 1996. Cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities available-for-sale increased from $24.4 million at
December 31, 1995 to $32.4 million at September 30, 1996. Total assets
increased from $46.6 million at December 31, 1995 to $53.3 million at
September 30, 1996, while total liabilities increased from $11.2 million to
$12.4 million.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 1995 to
September 30, 1996 results primarily from cash provided by operating
activities.
Management believes that the cash resources available at September 30,
1996, and cash anticipated to be generated from future operations will be
sufficient for the Company to meet its working capital needs and capital
expenditures through June 1997. The Company does not intend to pay cash
dividends with respect to common stock in the foreseeable future.
