|--------|--------|---------------------------|

 

Books-A-Million, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) are principally engaged in the sale of books, magazines and related items through a chain of retail bookstores.  The Company presently operates 207 bookstores in 20 states and the District of Columbia, which are predominantly located in the southeastern United States.  The Company also operates a retail Internet website.  The Company presently consists of Books-A-Million, Inc. and its three wholly owned subsidiaries, American Wholesale Book Company, Inc. (“American Wholesale”), American Internet Service, Inc (“AIS”) and Books-A-Million Card Services, Inc. (“Card Services”).  All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For a discussion of the Company’s business segments, see Note 8. 

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. All such adjustments are considered of a normal recurring nature. Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

 

Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 3, 2007 and the notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2007.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

*Stock-Based Compensation*

 

On January 29, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  SFAS No. 123(R) requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its stock-based compensation awards, including employee stock options.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based compensation awards using the intrinsic value method as required by APB Opinion 25.  Accordingly, the Company did not recognize compensation expense in its statement of income for options granted that had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.  However, the Company did record compensation expense related to restricted stock units based on the market value of its stock at the date of grant.  As required by SFAS No. 123, the Company also provided certain pro forma disclosures for stock-based awards as if the fair-value-based approach of SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

The Company used the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123(R).  Under this transition method, the Company applied the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after January 29, 2006.  In addition, the Company recognizes compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service had not been rendered (unvested awards) that were outstanding as of January 29, 2006, as the remaining service is rendered.  The compensation cost recorded for these awards will be based on their grant-date fair value as calculated for the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123.

The Company’s pre-tax compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation was $303,000 ($179,000 net of taxes) and $407,000 ($243,000 net of taxes) for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006, respectively.

*Stock Option Plan*

 

In April 1999, the Company adopted the Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) which provided for option grants to executive officers, directors, and key employees.  Upon the approval of the 2005 Incentive Award Plan by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting held in June 2005, the board of directors determined that no more awards would be made under the Stock Option Plan.  Options previously issued under the Stock Option Plan remain valid.  All options granted prior to January 9, 2001 vested over a five-year period and expired on the sixth anniversary of the date of grant, and all options granted on and after January 9, 2001 vest over a three-year period and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.  All options have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.  A summary of thestatus of the Stock Option Plan is as follows *(shares in thousands)*:

*2005 Incentive Award Plan*

 

On June 1, 2005, the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Books-A-Million, Inc. 2005 Incentive Award Plan (the “2005 Plan”) for a total of 300,000 shares.  On June 8, 2006, the stockholders of the Company approved an additional 300,000 shares to be awarded under the Plan.  An aggregate of 600,000 shares of common stock may be awarded under the 2005 Plan.  From June 1, 2005 through May 5, 2007, awards under the 2005 Plan consisted solely of awards of restricted stock.

There are two types of restricted stock awards to employees.  The first type of restricted stock award is “career based shares.”  Career based shares are completely unvested until the last day of the fifth fiscal year after the date of the grant whereupon such career based shares vest in full if the employee who received the grant is then employed by the Company.  The compensation expense for these shares is recognized ratably over the five-year requisite service period.  The second type of restricted stock award is “performance based shares.”  Performance based shares are earned based on the achievement of certain performance goals for the fiscal year in which they are granted.  If the performance goals are met, the performance based shares vest in 50% increments at the end of the first and second fiscal years after the fiscal year in which they were granted if theemployee who received the grant is then employed by the Company.  Compensation expense for these shares is recognized ratably over the period beginning on the date the Company determines that it is probable the performance goals will be achieved and ending on the last day of the vesting period.

 

Additionally, there are annual restricted stock grants to directors.  Each director who has served at least eleven consecutive months as of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders receives a restricted stock grant, which shares of restricted stock vest in one-third increments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date.  The expense related to the directors’ grants is recognized ratably over the three-year vesting period.

 

*Executive Incentive Plan*

 

The Company maintains an Executive Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”).  The Incentive Plan provides for awards to certain executive officers of either cash or shares of restricted stock. The Company has always issued awards in the form of restricted stock. Issuance of awards under the Incentive Plan is based on the Company achieving pre-established performance goals during a three consecutive fiscal year performance period. Awards issued under the Incentive Plan for a particular performance period vest on the third anniversary of the last day of such performance period if the recipient remains employed by the Company on such vesting date.  Awards under the Incentive Plan are expensed ratably over the period from the date that the issuance of such awards becomes probable through the end of the restriction period.  There will be no future awards under the Incentive Plan.

**Net Income Per Share**

 

Basic net income per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, which could occur if stock options are exercised or restricted stock granted to employees vested and resulted in an increase of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.  Diluted EPS has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including the effect of outstanding stock options and restricted stock, if dilutive, in each respective thirteen week period.  A reconciliation of the weighted average shares for basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

The Company shares ownership of a plane, which the Company uses in the operation of its business, with an affiliated company. The Company rents the plane to affiliated companies at rates that cover all of the variable costs, and a portion of the fixed cost of the plane. The total amounts received from affiliated companies for use of the plane during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006, was $124,000 and $103,000, respectively.

**Derivative and Hedging Activities**

 

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 133, *“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,”* amended by SFAS No. 137, *“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133,”* and SFAS No. 138, *“Accounting for Certain Derivatives and Certain Hedging Activities,”* and SFAS No.149, *“Amendment of SFAS No. 133 on Derivatives and Hedging Activities.”* SFAS No. 133 established accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded inthe balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value.  SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.  Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.  At May 5, 2007 and February 3, 2007, there were no liabilities related to derivatives classified as other long-term liabilities.

**Comprehensive Income**

Comprehensive income is net income plus certain other items that are recorded directly to stockholders’ equity.  For the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006, there were no such items.  

 

 

**6.**

**Commitments and Contingencies**

 

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its business.  In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to those proceedings is not presently expected to materially affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

From time to time, the Company enters into certain types of agreements that require the Company to indemnify parties against third party claims.  Generally, these agreements relate to:  (a) agreements with vendors and suppliers, under which the Company may provide customary indemnification to its vendors and suppliers in respect of actions they take at the Company’s request or otherwise on its behalf, (b) agreements with vendors who publish books or manufacture merchandise specifically for the Company to indemnify the vendors against trademark and copyright infringement claims concerning the books published or merchandise manufactured on behalf of the Company, (c) real estate leases, under which the Company may agree to indemnify the lessors for claims arising from the Company’s use of the property, and (d) agreements with the Company’s directors, officers and employees, underwhich the Company may agree to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their relationship with the Company.  The Company has Directors and Officers Liability Insurance, which, subject to the policy’s conditions, provides coverage for indemnification amounts payable by the Company with respect to its directors and officers up to specified limits and subject to certain deductibles.

 

The nature and terms of these types of indemnities vary.  The events or circumstances that would require the Company to perform under these indemnities are transaction and circumstance specific.  The overall maximum amount of obligations cannot be reasonably estimated.  Historically, the Company has not incurred significant costs related to performance under these types of indemnities.  No liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Company’s balance sheet at May 5, 2007 and February 3, 2007 as such liabilities are considered *de minimis*.  Currently, no such agreements are in place.

**Inventories**

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the retail method. Market is determined based on the lower of replacement cost or estimated realizable value.  Using the retail method, store and warehouse inventories are valued by applying a calculated cost to retail ratio to the retail value of inventories. 

 

The Company currently utilizes the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of accounting for inventories.  The cumulative difference between replacement and current cost of inventory over stated LIFO value is $2.2 million as of May 5, 2007 and $2.1 million as of February 3, 2007.  The estimated replacement cost of inventory is the current first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) value of $217.0 million.

 

Physical inventory counts are taken throughout the course of the fiscal period and reconciled to the Company’s records.  Accruals for inventory shortages are estimated based upon historical shortage results.

**Business Segments**

 

The Company has two reportable segments:  retail trade and electronic commerce trade.  The retail trade segment is a strategic business segment that is engaged in the retail trade of mostly book merchandise and includes the Company’s distribution center operations, which supplies merchandise predominantly to the Company’s retail stores.  The electronic commerce trade segment is a strategic business segment that transacts business over the Internet and is managed separately due to divergent technology and marketing requirements.  The Company evaluates performance of the segments based on profit and loss from operations before interest and income taxes.  Certain intersegment cost allocations have been made based upon consolidated and segment revenues.  Shipping income related to internet sales is included in net sales, and shipping expense is included in cost of sales.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

 

In June, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, *“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”* (“Interpretation No. 48”). Interpretation No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ( “SFAS”) No. 109. *“Accounting for Income Taxes”.*  Interpretation No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interpretation No. 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,disclosure and transition. The Company adopted the provisions of Interpretation No. 48 effective February, 4, 2007. As a result of the adoption of Interpretation No. 48 the Company recorded an increase of $1,987,000 in other long-term liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a cumulative effect adjustment to the February 4, 2007 balance of retained earnings. Please refer to Note 12 for details. 

 

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”).  SFAS No. 157 was issued to provide increased consistency and comparability in fair value measurements.  Specifically, SFAS No. 157 creates a significant definition of fair value emphasizing fair value as a market-based measurement.  The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 157 as of the beginning of its fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Including an amendment of FASB No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”).  SFAS No. 159 permits all entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings.  The fair value option is generally applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis and may be elected for a single item without electing other identical items, even if issued in a single transaction.  The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 159 as of the beginning of its fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

 

**10.**

**Discontinued Operations**

 

The Company closed one store during the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2006 in a market where the Company does not expect to retain the closed stores’ customers at another store in the same market.  The store’s sales and operating results for the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2006 were not reported as discontinued operations because the impact on the financial statements was immaterial.  The Company did not close any stores during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007.  Prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

 

**11.**

**Debt and Lines of Credit**

 

The Company’s current credit facility allows for unsecured borrowings up to $100 million for which no principal payments are due until the facility expires in July 2011.  Availability under the facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit issued thereunder.  Interest on borrowings under the credit facility is determined based upon applicable LIBOR rates and the Company’s rate spread, which varies depending on the maintenance of certain covenants.  The credit facility contains financial and non-financial covenants, the most restrictive of which is the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all covenants for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 and as of May 5, 2007. As of May 5, 2007 and February 3, 2007 there were no outstanding borrowings under this credit facility and the face amount of letters of credit issued under thecredit facility were $2.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively.  Excluding letters of credit issued thereunder, there were no borrowings under the credit facility for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007.  Therefore, the maximum and average outstanding borrowings under the credit facility (excluding letters of credit thereunder) for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 were $0.

During fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, the Company acquired and constructed certain warehouse and distribution facilities with the proceeds of loans made pursuant to an industrial development revenue bond (the “Bond”), which was secured by a mortgage interest in these facilities.  As of May 5, 2007 and February 3, 2007, there was $7.1 million of borrowings outstanding, under these arrangements, which bear interest at variable rates (6.32% as of May 5, 2007).  The Bond has a maturity date of December 1, 2019, with a purchase provision obligating the Company to repurchase the Bond, unless extended by the bondholder.  In fiscal 2007, an unrelated bank purchased the Bond from the existing bondholder, and the new bondholder extended the date of the Company’s purchase obligation of the Bond until July 1, 2011 and did not require a mortgage interest to secure the Bond.  Such anextension may be renewed annually by the bondholder, at the Company’s request, to a date no more than five years from the renewal date.  The Company entered into a $7.5 million interest rate swap in May 1996 that expired on June 7, 2006 and effectively fixed the interest rate on the Bond during that period at 8.73% (the “Bond Hedge”).  The Company did not replace the Bond Hedge when it expired. 

 

Net interest for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006 includes interest expense of $182,000 and $222,000, respectively.

 

 

**12.**

**Income Taxes**

 

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U. S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U. S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years prior to fiscal 2004. There are no ongoing income tax examinations of any of the open years. 

 

With respect to state and local jurisdictions, with limited exceptions, the Company and its subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax audits for fiscal years prior to fiscal 2003. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company believes that adequate amounts of tax, interest and penalties have been provided for any adjustments that are expected to result from the open years for any federal, state or local jurisdictions. 

 

The Company adopted the provisions of Interpretation No. 48 effective February 4, 2007. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation No. 48, the Company recorded an increase of $1,987,000 in other long-term liabilities, including interest and penalties, which was accounted for as a cumulative effect reduction to the February 4, 2007 balance of retained earnings. As of February 4, 2007, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $1,551,000, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. 

 

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had approximately $676,000 in interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits accrued as of February 4, 2007.

 

It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company’s unrecognized tax positions will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. These changes may be the result of new audits by federal, state or local jurisdictions, settlement of ongoing audits or the expiration of the statute of limitations related to certain tax periods currently still open with the taxing jurisdictions. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, that would no longer need to be accrued due to the passage of various statutes of limitations in the next 12 months is $469,000.  The balance of the unrecognized tax benefits is primarily related to uncertain tax positions for which there are no current ongoing federal or state audits and therefore, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was 40.9%. The effective tax rate for the first quarter included an adjustment of $100,000 tax expense related to amounts required to be recorded for changes to the Company’s uncertain tax positions under Interpretation No. 48. Excluding the adjustment required under Interpretation No. 48 the Company’s effective tax rate was 38.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

**Subsequent Event**

 

On June 4, 2007, the Company’s board of directors declared a special one-time cash dividend of $3.00 per common share.  The dividend will be paid on July 5, 2007 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 20, 2007.  A total of approximately $50.4 million will be paid on the Company’s 16.8 million outstanding shares of common stock as a result of the special dividend.  The Company expects this dividend will be paid from existing cash balances as well as borrowings from the Company’s credit facilities of $25 million to $30 million.

 

 

**14.**

**Revenue Recognition**

 

The Company sells gift cards to its customers in its retail stores.  The gift cards do not have an expiration date.  Income is recognized from gift cards when: (1) the gift card is redeemed by the customer; or (2) the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote (gift card breakage) and there is no legal obligation to remit the value of the unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions.  The gift card breakage rate is determined based upon historical redemption patterns.  Based on this historical information, the likelihood of a gift card remaining unredeemed can be determined after 24 months of card inactivity.  At that time, breakage income is recognized for those cards for which the likelihood of redemption is deemed to be remote and which there is no legal obligation to remit the value of such unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions.  In fiscal2007, the Company formed a gift card subsidiary, Books-A-Million Card Services to administer the Company’s gift card program and to provide a more advantageous legal structure.  Breakage income for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006 was $173,000 and $119,000, respectively.

We were founded in 1917 and currently operate 207 retail bookstores, including 180 superstores, concentrated in the southeastern United States.

 

Our growth strategy is focused on opening superstores in new and existing market areas, particularly in the Southeast.  In addition to opening new stores, management intends to continue its practice of reviewing the profitability trends and prospects of existing stores and closing or relocating under-performing stores or converting stores to different formats.

 

Comparable store sales are determined each fiscal quarter during the year based on all stores that have been open at least 12 full months as of the first day of the fiscal quarter.  Any stores closed during a fiscal quarter are excluded from comparable store sales as of the first day of the quarter in which they close.

The increase in net sales for the retail trade segment was primarily due to new stores opened over the past year.  Comparable store sales in the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 decreased 0.5% when compared with the same thirteen week period for the prior year.  The decrease in comparable store sales for the thirteen weeks was primarily due to lower sales in the café departments.  The cafés continue to experience increased competition in our markets.  During the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007, the Company opened one superstore.  The decrease in net sales for the electronic commerce segment was due to lower overall order volume. 

 

Gross profit increased $1.2 million, or 3.5%, to $33.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 when compared with $32.6 million in the same thirteen week period for the prior year.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006 was 29.0% and 28.6%, respectively.  The increase in gross profit is primarily due to fewer promotional markdowns during the period and higher club card membership income resultant from increasing the annual membership fee from $10 to $15.

 

Operating, selling and administrative expenses were $27.0 million in the thirteen week period ended May 5, 2007 compared to $26.6 million in the same period last year.  Operating, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 decreased slightly to 23.2% from 23.3% in the same period last year.   

 

Depreciation and amortization was $3.3 million and $3.4 million respectively in the thirteen week periods     ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was due to capital expenditures made several years ago becoming fully depreciated over the past year.

**MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL**

**CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

 

The improvement in operating results for the retail trade segment for the thirteen week period ended May 5, 2007 was due to higher retail sales, as well as improved gross profit as a percentage of sales due to fewer promotional markdowns in the current period versus the same thirteen week period for the prior year.  Even though net sales for the electronic commerce segment for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 decreased slightly, operating income for the electronic commerce segment increased compared with the same period last year due to lower costs incurred for shipping and warehouse handling.

 

Interest expense (income) was ($0.1) million in the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 versus $0.1 million in the same period last year.  The decrease was primarily due to lower average debt balances and higher average cash balances compared with the prior year.  

 

The Company closed one store during the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2006 in a market where the Company does not expect to retain the closed stores’ customers at another store in the same market.  The store’s sales and operating results for the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2006 have not been reported as discontinued operations because the impact on the financial statements was immaterial.  The Company did not close any stores during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007.

 

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

 

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, including credit terms from vendors, and borrowings under its credit facilities.  The Company has an unsecured revolving credit facility under a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that allows borrowings up to $100.0 million, for which no principal repayments are due until the facility expires in July 2011.  Availability under the facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility.  The credit agreement contains certain financial and non-financial covenants, the most restrictive of which is the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.  The Company was in compliance with all covenants for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 and as of May 5, 2007.  As of May 5, 2007 and February 3, 2007, there were no outstanding balances under this credit facility and the faceamount of letters of credit issued under the facility was $2.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively.  Excluding letters of credit issued thereunder, there were no borrowings under the credit facility for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007.  Therefore, the maximum and average outstanding borrowings under the credit facility (excluding letters of credit thereunder) for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 were $0.  The maximum and average outstanding balances during the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2006 were $1.7 million and $57,000, respectively.  The decrease in the maximum and average outstanding balances from the prior year was due to the pay down of debt during fiscal 2007 with cash provided by operating activities.  

 

During fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, the Company acquired and constructed certain warehouse and distribution facilities with the proceeds of loans made pursuant to an industrial development revenue bond (the “Bond”).  As of May 5, 2007 and February 3, 2007, there was $7.1 million of borrowings outstanding, under these arrangements, which bear interest at variable rates.  The Bond has a maturity date of December 1, 2019, with a purchase provision obligating the Company to repurchase the Bond, unless extended by the bondholder.  In fiscal 2007, an unrelated bank purchased the Bond from the existing bondholder, and the new bondholder extended the date of the Company’s purchase obligation of the Bond until July 1, 2011 and did not require a mortgage interest to secure the bond.  Such an extension may be renewed annually by the bondholder, at the Company’s request, to a date nomore than five years from the renewal date.  

 

On June 4, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special one-time cash dividend of $3.00 per common share.  The dividend will be paid on July 5, 2007, to shareholders of record at the close of business on   June 20, 2007.  A total of approximately $50.4 million will be paid on the Company’s 16.8 million outstanding shares of common stock as a result of the special dividend.  The Company expects this dividend will be paid from existing cash balances as well as borrowings from the Company’s credit facilities of $25 million to $30 million.

**MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL**

**CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

 

*Financial Position*

 

Inventory balances were $214.9 million as of May 5, 2007 compared to $200.3 million as of February 3, 2007.  The inventory increase was primarily due to seasonal fluctuations in inventory.   Inventory levels generally are lowest at the end of the fiscal year due to large post holiday returns to vendors.  Accrued expenses were $36.2 million as of May 5, 2007 compared to $38.6 million as of February 3, 2007.  Accrued expenses decreased primarily due to payment of fiscal 2007 management bonuses in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and redemption of gift cards sold to customers during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

*Guarantees*

 

From time to time, the Company enters into certain types of agreements that require the Company to indemnify parties against third-party claims.  Generally, these agreements relate to:  (a) agreements with vendors and suppliers, under which the Company may provide customary indemnification to its vendors and suppliers in respect of actions they take at the Company’s request or otherwise on its behalf, (b) agreements with vendors who publish books or manufacture merchandise specifically for the Company to indemnify the vendors against trademark and copyright infringement claims concerning the books published or merchandise manufactured on behalf of the Company, (c) real estate leases, under which the Company may agree to indemnify the lessors for claims arising from the Company’s use of the property, and (d) agreements with the Company’s directors, officers and employees, underwhich the Company may agree to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their relationship with the Company.  The Company maintains Directors and Officers Liability Insurance, which, subject to the policy’s conditions, provides coverage for indemnification amounts payable by the Company with respect to its directors and officers up to specified limits and subject to certain deductibles.

 

The nature and terms of these types of indemnities vary.  The events or circumstances that would require the Company to perform under these indemnities are transaction and circumstance specific.  The overall maximum amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated.  Historically, the Company has not incurred significant costs related to performance under these types of indemnities.  No liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Company’s balance sheet at May 5, 2007 and February 3, 2007, as such liabilities are considered *de minimis*.  Currently, no such agreements are in place.  

 

*Cash Flows*

 

Operating activities used cash of $6.8 million and $17.4 million in the thirteen week periods ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006, respectively, and included the following effects:

 

 

**•**

Cash used for inventories in the thirteen week periods ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006 was $14.6 million and $8.6 million, respectively.  The higher usage was primarily due to lower inventory balances at the end of fiscal 2007 versus the prior fiscal year end due to the timing of merchandise receipts which resulted in higher merchandise receipts in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

**CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

 

 

**•**

Cash provided (used) for accounts payable in the thirteen week periods ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006 was $3.4 million and ($4.4 million), respectively.  The change versus the prior year was due to the timing of payments for merchandise purchases from vendors.

 

 

**•**

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $3.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively in the thirteen week periods ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006.  The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was due to the impact of certain assets becoming fully depreciated during the prior year.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities reflected a $3.9 million and $1.4 million net use of cash for the thirteen week periods ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006, respectively.  Cash was used primarily to fund capital expenditures for new stores, store relocations, renovation and improvements to existing stores, and investments in management information systems.

 

Financing activities used cash of $1.3 million and $2.3 million in the thirteen week periods ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006, respectively.  Financing activities used cash in fiscal 2008 primarily for dividend payments ($1.5 million).  Financing activities used cash in fiscal 2007 primarily to purchase stock ($1.5 million) and for dividend payments ($1.3 million).  

 

**Outlook**

 

During the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007, the Company opened one store.  During the remainder of fiscal 2008, the Company expects to open six to eight stores, complete remodels on approximately ten to twelve stores and close three to five stores.  The Company’s capital expenditures totaled $3.9 million in the thirteen week period ended May 5, 2007.  Management estimates that capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2008 will be approximately $18.6 million, and that such amounts will be used primarily for opening new stores, relocating existing stores, renovating and improving existing stores, upgrading and expanding warehouse distribution facilities, and investing in management information systems. Management believes that existing cash on hand and net cash from operating activities, together with borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities, will be adequate to finance theCompany’s planned capital expenditures, the special one-time dividend to be paid in July 2007 and to meet the Company’s working capital requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2008.

No changes to these policies have occurred during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007.

 

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

In June, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, *“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”* (“Interpretation No. 48”). Interpretation No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ( “SFAS”) No. 109. *“Accounting for Income Taxes”.*  Interpretation No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interpretation No. 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,disclosure and transition. The Company adopted the provisions of Interpretation No. 48 effective February, 4, 2007. As a result of the adoption of Interpretation No. 48 the Company recorded an increase of $1,987,000 in other long-term liabilties in its consolidated balance sheet for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a cumulative effect adjustment to the February 4, 2007 balance of retained earnings. Please refer to Note 12 for details. 

 

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”).  SFAS No. 157 was issued to provide increased consistency and comparability in fair value measurements.  Specifically, SFAS No. 157 creates a significant definition of fair value emphasizing fair value as a market-based measurement.  The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 157 as of the beginning of its fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Including an amendment of FASB No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”).  SFAS No. 159 permits all entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings.  The fair value option is generally applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis and may be elected for a single item without electing other identical items, even if issued in a single transaction.  The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 159 as of the beginning of its fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

**ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

 

The Company is subject to interest rate fluctuations involving its credit facilities and debt related to an industrial development revenue bond (the “Bond”).  To illustrate the sensitivity of the results of operations to changes in interest rates on its debt, the Company estimates that a 66% increase or decrease in LIBOR rates would have changed interest expense by $62,000 for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007 due to average debt of $7,100,000.  This hypothetical change in LIBOR rates was calculated based on the fluctuation in LIBOR in 2002, which was the maximum LIBOR fluctuation in the last ten years.
