Company Overview
Shoe Pavilion is an independent off-price footwear retailer with locations in the Western and Southwestern United States. As of December 30, 2006, we operated 108 stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and New Mexico. We were among the first footwear retailers on the West Coast to expand the off-price concept into the branded footwear market. We offer a broad selection of quality designer label and branded footwear, typically at 20% to 60% below regular department store prices, in a convenient self-service store format.
We are positioned in the retail market between discount and department stores. Unlike discount stores, we offer designer label and branded footwear that, in our opinion, has long-term customer appeal. As a result, we appeal to quality, style and designer label-oriented customers with relatively higher spending power. Unlike department stores, our prices are designed to appeal to value-oriented consumers seeking quality branded footwear typically found at department stores or branded retail outlets at higher everyday prices.
Our stores are strategically located in strip malls, outlet centers, large format retail centers and downtown locations, frequently in close proximity to other off-price apparel retailers that attract similar customers. Our stores averaged approximately 12,500 square feet in 2006. On average, over 20,000 pairs of shoes from over 100 brands are displayed on the selling floor at most of our stores, compared to a significantly smaller product offering at typical department stores. Over the last several years, we have focused on closing smaller stores and replacing them with larger stores in more attractive locations. Our goal is to become a leading retailer of value-priced branded footwear in the United States.
For the twelve months ended December 30, 2006, we generated $131.3 million in revenue and $4.1 million in income from operations. For the twelve months ended December 30, 2006, we grew our store base and net sales 21.3% and 28.1%, respectively, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. In fiscal year 2006, we opened 24 new stores and expanded into new markets in Texas and New Mexico. The average square footage of these 24 new stores is approximately 21,000 square feet.
1
Industry and Competition
The footwear retail industry can be divided into three categories: fashion, performance and leisure. The distribution and sale of footwear occurs through various sales channels, which can be grouped into high, moderate and value-priced segments. Over the last few decades, the value-priced distribution channel, which consists of discount stores, factory outlets and off-price retailers, has become more prominent.
We believe that the growth in the value-priced segment is driven by consumers who have become more value-oriented and time-constrained. As a result, convenience, selection and availability have become significant factors in consumer purchasing decisions. We believe the ability to provide branded footwear is essential to attracting consumers into our stores.
We compete with off-price and discount retailers (e.g., Nordstrom Rack, Payless Shoe Source, Ross Dress for Less and Famous Footwear), branded retail outlets (e.g., Nine West, Reebok and adidas), national and regional retail stores (e.g., DSW Shoe Warehouse, Nordstrom, Marshalls, Macy's, Sears, J.C. Penney, Loehmann's and Mervyn's), as well as traditional shoe stores and mass merchants.
Competitive Strengths
We believe that several of our key competitive strengths - our broad selection of branded product offerings, established vendor relationships, convenient and flexible store layout, low-cost business model, and strategic real estate locations - leave us well-positioned to take advantage of the continuing growth in the off-price segment.
Broad Selection of Branded Product Offerings
Our broad selection of quality designer label and branded footwear product offerings distinguishes us from other retailers and serves to attract first time buyers and consumers who otherwise might shop at more expensive department stores or branded retail outlets. In addition, our selection of in-season merchandise and branded products distinguishes us from discount outlets, which typically offer only limited selections of branded footwear. We carry primarily in-season footwear found in specialty and department stores and branded make-ups (shoes made exclusively for our channel). Our typical store carries approximately 20,000 pairs of shoes from approximately 100 brands compared to significantly smaller product offerings at a typical department store or branded retail store. In order to increase the likelihood of our customers finding the right shoes at an attractive price, we tailor our merchandise from store to store to accommodate local consumer preferences, we opportunistically purchase in-season styles and branded footwear, and we purchase and receive new merchandise on a weekly basis. We also track sales trends and take advantage of a flexible buying process that enables us to make in-season purchases as compared to department stores that typically make large purchases at the beginning of a season.
Established Vendor Relationships
We have established a strong and mutually beneficial relationship with the shoe vendor community due to our ability to move quickly and decisively when procuring products. As a result, we have been able to negotiate favorable terms and prices by eliminating the vendor's exposure to the risk of returns and by not seeking typical retail concessions such as promotional and markdown allowances. Furthermore, we have been able to negotiate favorable prices with vendors by ordering merchandise during off-peak production periods and taking delivery at one central warehouse. By purchasing from over 100 vendors, we have a wider selection of suppliers, and we can choose to purchase from the vendors that are most competitively priced at any given point in time. These established relationships also allow us to make frequent and opportunistic purchases of in-season branded footwear, enabling us to maintain a large selection of merchandise reflecting current styles.
Convenient and Flexible Store Layout
Our self-service store layout provides a convenient shopping experience for our customers and can be modified quickly in order to maximize our ability to sell merchandise. In our self-service format, inventory is stored directly under a displayed shoe, thereby eliminating the need for a stockroom and significantly increasing retail floor space. Moreover, this format allows customers to locate all available sizes of a particular shoe and to try them on
2
for comfort and fit without a salesperson's assistance, allowing customers to browse and make independent purchasing decisions without feeling rushed or pressured into making a decision too quickly. Our store layouts can be easily reconfigured to accommodate new merchandise mixes and adapted to a variety of store sizes, which enables us to open new stores quickly once merchandise is delivered.
We organize most of our stores on a single level, which allows customers to view the entire store and product offerings as they enter and move quickly to the area where their desired styles are located. Signs help direct customers quickly to the merchandise they are seeking. Our interiors are well lit, with spacious aisles to allow ease of movement throughout the store. We group together similar styles such as dress, casual, seasonal and athletic merchandise. In order to maintain an exciting and changing shopping environment, we place newer in-season merchandise at the front of our stores, while older merchandise and clearance sale products are placed in the back.
Low-cost Business Model
Our low-cost business model allows us to offer our customers quality products at attractive prices. Our business model is based on self-service format stores, which reduce staffing and maintenance costs, and geographic clustering of our stores, which spreads expenses related to management and distribution across a number of stores. Clustering also enables us to cost effectively use television advertising in our markets to gain exposure and drive more traffic into our stores. In addition, we maintain low operating costs by outsourcing our warehouse and distribution operations, purchasing large blocks of merchandise from manufacturers at significant discounts and maintaining a lean management structure.
Strategic Real Estate Locations
Our stores are strategically located in strip malls, outlet centers, large format retail centers and downtown locations, frequently in close proximity to other off-price apparel retailers that attract similar customers. Because of our focus on designer and branded footwear, we typically open stores in close proximity to other off-price retailers, which helps increase consumer traffic in our stores and consumer awareness of our brand. Due to our flexible store format, we have the ability to accommodate a variety of store sizes, which allows us to take advantage of attractive lease terms on an opportunistic basis.
Growth Strategy
We plan to continue to strengthen our position as an independent off-price branded footwear retailer by pursuing the following three primary strategies for growth in sales and profitability - expand and improve our store base, leverage our operating model and enhance our merchandising.
Expand and Improve Store Base
We believe our off-price branded footwear retail concept has broad national appeal and provides substantial opportunity for new store expansion in our existing and new markets. Our long-term strategy is to improve our penetration in existing markets and expand into new geographic markets while increasing our average store size to benefit from economies of scale. We plan to continue focusing on opening new stores in high traffic locations such as large format retail centers. We opened 10 new stores in fiscal year 2005 with an average store size of approximately 14,500 square feet. We opened 24 new stores in fiscal year 2006 with an average store size of approximately 21,000 square feet, and expanded into new markets in Texas and New Mexico. In fiscal year 2007, we plan to open 20 to 25 new stores, with an estimated average of approximately 18,000 to 20,000 square feet. We also plan to continue closing our smaller stores as the leases expire and replacing them with larger stores in more attractive locations.
Generally, we have found that a newly-opened store takes approximately three years to achieve its optimum selling potential. As of December 30, 2006, 37% of our stores (40 out of 108 stores) were less than three years old. As of December 31, 2005, 22% of our stores (20 out of 89 stores) were less than three years old. We currently estimate that by the end of fiscal year 2007 that approximately 47% of our stores (59 out of 126 stores) will be less than three years old. This accelerated roll out of the new larger format stores (18,000 to 20,000 square feet) will put near-term downward pressure on our gross margin and operating income as a percentage of net sales, due to an
3
increase in occupancy costs resulting from the rapid increase in the number of immature stores as a percentage of our total store base. We believe that as our store base matures in the years ahead, our gross margin and operating income will improve and both will increase as a percentage of net sales.
Leverage Operating Model
As we continue to expand our store base through the clustering of multiple stores in a geographic region, we believe we will improve our profitability by increasing our market presence and brand awareness and reducing per store operating costs by leveraging our cost structure, particularly in the areas of advertising, regional management, distribution and overhead functions. In addition, we have found that our strategy of clustering stores in the markets in which we operate facilitates better recruitment and training of employees. Clustering our stores also improves our ability to secure prime real estate locations on attractive terms through increased relationships with lessors and real estate brokers. In connection with our focus on improving operating and financial performance, we intend to continue investing in our infrastructure. In particular, we believe continued investment in information systems will enhance the efficiency of our operations through superior merchandise planning and allocation, inventory management and distribution functions.
Enhance Merchandising
We intend to increase our sales of merchandise and average transaction value by continually refining the selection and mix of our footwear and apparel merchandise. We intend to use our vendor relationships to increase the quality and breadth of our product offerings and to keep our product mix current with merchandise that is popular and in demand by continually reviewing new merchandise styles and actively monitoring the sell-through rates in each of our stores. We plan to continue to focus on refining our marketing efforts in the areas of advertising and promotions. In addition, accessories have proven to be very successful in our larger store formats and provide incremental items to our customers' sale transactions. Our objective is to offer complementary accessories and apparel that provides the same brand/value equation that is the foundation of our footwear strategy. Additionally, our store format allows for flexibility in being able to display a wide variety of footwear and accessories.
Retail Store Base
Store Locations
As of December 30, 2006, we operated 108 stores in the Western and Southwestern United States, with locations throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and New Mexico. We lease all of our stores, with leases expiring between 2007 and 2017, with the exception of one lease expiring in 2021. We have the option to renew most of our leases. The following table summarizes the number of stores in each region for the last three fiscal years:

Store Size
Our 108 stores occupy an aggregate of approximately 1,350,000 square feet of space. The average store size is approximately 12,500 square feet. Over the last several years, in an effort to increase sales and improve our comparable store sales performance, we have focused on closing smaller stores as the leases expire and replacing them with larger stores in more attractive locations, resulting in a net growth of approximately 490,000 square feet in store space during fiscal year 2006. Our long-term strategy is to open larger stores in large format retail centers in the range of 18,000 to 20,000 square feet in order to benefit from economies of scale.
Internet Store
Our Internet store allows customers to purchase footwear and accessories online. It also enables potential customers to locate our stores and to determine the availability of specific merchandise. Our Internet store revenues are not material to our revenue or earnings performance.
Growth Plans
In fiscal year 2007, we plan to open 20 to 25 new stores, with an estimated average of approximately 18,000 to 20,000 square feet. We also plan to continue closing our smaller stores as the leases expire and replacing them with larger stores in more attractive locations. We believe that our existing business infrastructure can support our planned growth for the foreseeable future and will not compromise our new store economics. The following table summarizes the store openings and closings for the last three fiscal years:

Store closures are generally due to our long-term strategy to replace smaller stores with larger stores in more attractive locations.
We believe that new store openings in our existing markets will further increase our name recognition, which will facilitate expansion into new markets. When entering a new market, we prefer to open multiple locations, thereby creating an immediate market presence and enabling expenses to be spread economically across a number of stores in order to lower per store operating costs. Due to our strategy of not opening new stores in the immediate vicinity of existing stores, we believe we would not be at risk of cannibalizing sales at our existing stores. As part of the planning process, we endeavor to not over-saturate our market in our category of off-price branded shoe retailing. Our experience to date leads us to believe that we can continue our clustering strategy in both existing and new markets. In addition, the flexibility of our business model, combined with our plans to open larger format stores provides us the opportunity to secure additional prime real estate sites.
In fiscal 2006, we opened 24 new stores and expanded into new markets in Texas and New Mexico. The average square footage of these 24 new stores is approximately 21,000 square feet. In fiscal 2007 we expect to open another 20 to 25 new stores with an average of approximately 18,000 to 20,000 square feet.
Generally, we have found that a newly-opened store takes approximately three years to achieve its optimum selling potential. As of December 30, 2006, 37% of our stores (40 out of 108 stores) were less than three years old. As of December 31, 2005, 22% of our stores (20 out of 89 stores) were less than three years old. We currently estimate that by the end of fiscal year 2007 that approximately 47% of our stores (59 out of 126 stores) will be less than three years old. This accelerated roll out of the new larger format stores (18,000 to 20,000 square feet) will put
5
near-term downward pressure on our gross margin and operating income as a percentage of net sales, due to an increase in occupancy costs resulting from the rapid increase in the number of immature stores as a percentage of our total store base. We believe that as our store base matures in the years ahead, our gross margin and operating income will improve and both will increase as a percentage of net sales.
Site Selection
We use brokers to identify potential new store sites. Due to our flexible store format, we are able to adapt to a wide range of store designs and sizes. Before opening a new store, our management team reviews reports on demographics; spending, traffic and consumption patterns; store size, configuration, location and lease terms; and other site and market data. We target real estate locations with high pedestrian traffic and visibility, with new stores sized as appropriate to fit the potential market. Our stores are either freestanding, in a strip mall, in a large format retail center, in a factory outlet mall or in a high traffic downtown shopping zone. We also target suburban locations near other large format, leading retailers, such as Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, The Sports Authority, Best Buy and Marshalls. We select sites that enable us to cluster our stores in strategic geographic markets to enhance our name recognition, lower average per store advertising costs and achieve economies of scale in management and distribution.
New Store Model
After we identify and approve a site, we negotiate the lease terms and begin planning the store layout and design. It typically requires between four and six weeks from the time we take possession of a store to its grand opening. Opening costs for stores are typically minimal, excluding the initial stocking of inventory. We estimate that the average per store cost to open the new stores that we opened during fiscal year 2006, was approximately $830,000. Of this amount, approximately $610,000 was for inventory, $160,000 was for fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements, and $60,000 was for pre-opening expenses, including advertising. Generally, these costs were partially offset by landlord allowances and contribution. Costs vary from store to store depending on, among other things, the location, size, property condition and the tenant improvement package offered by the landlord. We lease all of our stores and do not own any of the real estate.
Merchandising
We separate our merchandise into four categories - men's, women's and children's footwear and accessories. The three footwear categories include dress, casual and athletic footwear. While shoes are our main focus, we also offer a complementary assortment of accessories, including handbags, hosiery, belts, hats and other accessories. The following table summarizes our merchandise assortment as a percentage of total net sales for the last three fiscal years:

Our total net sales in the shoe category (women's, men's and children's footwear) were $124.2 million, $96.8 million, and $83.0 million for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Total net sales for accessories were $7.1 million, $5.7 million and $2.8 million for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Our merchandising group is responsible for planning, purchasing and allocating our merchandise. We maintain a lean management structure, with senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
6
Operating Officer, involved in the procurement of products for our stores. We use multiple buyers in every product category. Our merchandising process consists of make-up purchases that are planned and purchased in advance for an upcoming season and in-season opportunistic purchasing. Our merchandising group endeavors to be flexible and well positioned to make decisions quickly in order to take advantage of opportunistic purchases as they become available.
We have well established and mutually beneficial relationships with our key vendors, which enables us to maintain a large selection of merchandise reflecting current styles and provides us with access to high quality, in-season merchandise at attractive prices. In addition, we believe our vendors view us as a significant distribution channel for their branded offerings due to our proven ability to move quickly and decisively when purchasing products. As a result, we have been able to negotiate favorable terms and prices by not exposing the vendor to the risk of returns and by not seeking typical concessions such as promotional and markdown allowances. Furthermore, we have been able to negotiate favorable prices by ordering merchandise during off-peak production periods and by taking delivery at our central warehouse. As we continue to expand our store base, we expect to become better able to procure merchandise in larger lots.
In fiscal year 2006, we purchased merchandise directly from over 100 vendors. Approximately 70% to 80% of our purchases are branded make-ups and approximately 20% to 30% are opportunistic purchases of in-season branded footwear. We make purchases from suppliers on an order-by-order basis and have no long-term purchase contracts. Since we have stores in a number of markets in the Western and Southwestern United States, we can accommodate and distribute a wide variety of merchandise that meets the needs of customers in different geographic areas. We believe that the strength and variety of our supplier network mitigates much of our exposure to inventory supply risks. As the number of our stores increases and our sales volume grows, we believe there will continue to be adequate sources available to acquire a sufficient supply of quality goods in a timely manner and on satisfactory economic terms. In fiscal year 2006, the top ten suppliers accounted for approximately 43% of our inventory purchases and no vendor accounted for more than 8% of total inventory purchases in 2006.
Marketing and Advertising
Our marketing effort targets value conscious consumers seeking designer label and branded footwear. We also target time-constrained customers who want to make shopping decisions independent of a salesperson's assistance. In 2006, we spent approximately $5.9 million in marketing and advertising, representing 4.5% of total net sales. This represented a 22.4% increase from our marketing and advertising expenses of $4.8 million in fiscal year 2005. We occasionally use print advertising, typically at the time of a new store opening. In general, however, we have found print advertising to be less effective than television advertising. We also believe that television advertising benefits all stores in a common viewing market and that television advertising costs will be more effectively and economically leveraged as the number of stores in a specific region increases. Our signage is highly visible at the front and, when appropriate, rear of the store.
Staffing and Operations
We have a relatively lean organizational structure that we believe allows us to keep our business processes simple, straightforward and efficient and to make decisions quickly. As of December 30, 2006, Shoe Pavilion had approximately 512 full-time employees and 629 part-time employees. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, the number of part-time employees fluctuates depending on our needs. None of our employees are represented by a labor union.
Distribution
In February 2002, we engaged Gilbert Companies, an unrelated third-party logistics company, to provide warehousing and distribution services. We believe that outsourcing our distribution allows us to scale to our seasonal needs. Warehousing and distribution are primarily conducted from a facility located in Chino, California. Most of the merchandise purchased is shipped directly from suppliers to this centralized distribution center where it is then processed and shipped to our stores. We believe that Gilbert Companies can accommodate our planned growth for the foreseeable future. We continue to evaluate our warehousing and distribution requirements on an ongoing basis. Our contract with Gilbert Companies may be terminated by us at anytime on 30 days notice.

Management Information and Control System
We have made significant investments, and will continue to do so, in strengthening our information technology systems. Point of sale (POS) operations are handled by a fully-integrated merchandising system maintained at our headquarters office on an IBM iSeries midrange server. In 2006, we improved checkout times by upgrading our POS software and also increased network and systems security at our headquarters office. Furthermore, for new stores opened in 2006, we enhanced communications by providing a real-time email system deployed on standardized hardware. We believe that the upgrades and enhancements, that we have embarked upon in 2007, to our information technology systems, will provide a strong foundation for our future expansion.
Intellectual Property
The "Shoe Pavilion" name and logo are registered trademarks of the Company. We have also registered a number of other trademarks and service marks in the United States. We have strong name recognition in the Western and Southwestern United States and we believe that this provides us a competitive advantage. Consequently, we believe it is important to protect our brand identity.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating discharge of materials into the environment has not had, and is not expected to have, a material effect on our financial condition or consolidated results of operations.

We may not be able to successfully open new stores at an increased rate compared to the last several years, which could adversely affect our future earnings growth.
A significant element of our growth strategy involves the expansion and improvement of our store base. We intend to open 20 to 25 new stores by the end of fiscal year 2007. The success of our planned expansion will depend significantly on the adequacy of our capital resources as well as our ability to locate suitable store sites and negotiate acceptable lease terms. In addition, there are a number of other factors that could affect our expansion plans, including the ability to:
There can be no assurance that we will achieve our planned expansion or that any such expansion will be profitable. In addition, there can be no assurance that our expansion within our existing markets will not adversely affect the financial performance of our existing stores or our overall operating results, or that new stores will achieve net sales and profitability levels consistent with existing stores. Because our future revenue growth depends on new store openings, any postponement or reduction in the number of store openings could have a material adverse effect on our growth prospects. In addition, there can be no assurance that the recent shift to larger format stores will produce results in line with our expectations.
If we are unable to successfully implement our growth strategy or manage our growing business, future operating results could be negatively impacted.
No assurance can be given that we will be successful in maintaining or increasing our sales in the future. Any future growth in sales will require additional working capital and may place a significant strain on management, information systems, inventory management and distribution facilities. Any failure to timely enhance our operating systems, or unexpected difficulties in implementing such enhancements, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our comparable store sales and quarterly financial performance may fluctuate for a variety of reasons, which, in turn, may impact the price for our common stock.
Historically, our comparable store sales have fluctuated widely, and we expect them to continue to do so in the future. We define comparable store sales as those stores that have been open for at least 13 consecutive months. For fiscal year 2006, our comparable store sales increased 3.9% from fiscal year 2005. For fiscal year 2005, our comparable store sales increased 6.9% from fiscal year 2004. Because of the wide fluctuations in comparable store sales, investors may have difficulty consistently assessing our growth potential. In addition, fluctuations in our comparable store sales, including any decrease in 2007 comparable stores sales, could adversely impact our revenues, net income and the price of our stock.
Our business is subject to seasonal and quarterly fluctuations which may, in turn, affect the price of our common stock.
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and net income. Historically, net sales and net income have been weakest during the first quarter following the holiday season. Our quarterly results of operations may also fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including the timing of new store openings, the level of net sales contributed by new stores, merchandise mix, the timing and level of price markdowns, availability of inventory, store closures, advertising costs, the success of advertising campaigns, competitive pressures and changes in the demand for off-price footwear. For example, sales in the first half of 2005 benefited from significant rainfall in Southern California and the introduction of new
10
merchandise categories (children's shoes and accessories) in selected store locations. Sales in the first half of 2006 did not benefit from the same factors.
Because our stores are concentrated in the western part of the United States, we are subject to regional risks.
Currently, 75 of our stores are located in California and the balance are located in Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and New Mexico. Accordingly, we are subject to regional risks, such as the economy, weather conditions, natural disasters and government regulations. When a region suffers an economic downturn or when other adverse events occur, historically there has been an adverse effect on our sales and profitability and this could also affect our ability to implement our planned growth. In addition, many of our vendors rely on the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach as the ports of entry for the merchandise we sell in our stores. Any disruption or congestion at these ports could impair our ability to adequately stock the stores. Several of our competitors operate stores across the United States and, thus, are not as vulnerable to such regional risks.
Decline in general economic conditions could lead to reduced consumer demand for our footwear and accessories.
Consumer spending habits, including spending for the footwear and related accessories that we sell, are affected by, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, levels of employment, salaries and wage rates, prevailing interest rates, income taxes and policies, consumer confidence and consumer perception of economic conditions. In addition, consumer purchasing patterns are influenced by consumers' disposable income. As a result, economic developments that potentially reduce consumers' disposable income, such as recent increases in gasoline and energy prices and the rate of inflation, could impact consumer spending habits.
Consumer confidence is also affected by the domestic and international political landscape. The outbreak or escalation of war, or the occurrence of terrorist acts or other hostilities in or affecting the United States, could lead to a decrease in spending by consumers. If consumers reduce spending, we could experience lower net sales than expected on a quarterly or annual basis and be forced to delay or slow our expansion plans.
Terrorist attacks or acts of war may seriously harm our business.
Terrorist attacks may cause damage or disruption to our employees, facilities, information systems, vendors and customers, which could significantly impact our net sales, costs and expenses and financial condition. The potential for future terrorist attacks, the national and international responses to terrorist attacks, and other acts of war or hostility may cause greater uncertainty and cause our business to suffer in ways that we currently cannot predict. Such terrorist attacks could cause ports to or through which we or our vendors receive shipments, such as the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, to be shut down, thereby preventing the delivery of products to our stores. Our geographical focus in the Western and Southwestern United States may make us more vulnerable to such uncertainties than other comparable retailers who may not have similar geographical concentration.
We may be unable to anticipate and respond to fashion trends and consumer preferences in the markets in which we operate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our merchandising strategy is based on identifying each region's customer base and having the proper mix of products in each store to attract our target customers in that region. This requires us to anticipate and respond to numerous and fluctuating variables in fashion trends and other conditions in the markets in which our stores are situated. A variety of factors will affect our ability to maintain the proper mix of products in each store, including:
11
If we are unable to anticipate and fulfill the merchandise needs of each region, we may experience decreases in our net sales and may be forced to increase markdowns to slow-moving merchandise, either of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our planned expansion into new geographic regions may heighten this risk.
Historically, we have closed an underperforming store at the conclusion of the store's lease term. If we are unable to close an underperforming store because the lease has not expired, we could suffer operating losses at such store until the lease ends or we otherwise restructure or buy out the lease.
We actively monitor individual store performance and close underperforming stores at the conclusion of the lease term. In certain instances, we may be unable to close an underperforming store on a timely basis because of lease terms. The inability to close one or more underperforming stores on a timely basis could result in operating losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
The covenants in our revolving credit facility may impact our ability to access borrowings to fund our expansion.
Our current expansion plan anticipates funding new store openings in 2007 from cash flow, tenant improvement allowances and from borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
We maintain a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC that provides for a credit facility of up to $30.0 million, including a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be increased at our option up to a maximum of $50.0 million. Under the terms of this revolving credit facility, we are subject to an annual capital expenditures limit of $10.0 million. In each remaining year of the revolving credit facility, Wells Fargo has indicated that it will adjust our capital expenditure limit based upon our business plan. Inasmuch as Wells Fargo has no obligation to cooperate with us in this regard, there is no assurance that we will be permitted to use the revolving credit facility to make the capital expenditures necessary to fully implement our expansion plans.
Because we do not have long-term purchase agreements with any of our vendors, our ability to purchase quality merchandise under favorable terms and conditions is dependent on our being on good business terms with our vendors.
Our future success will be significantly dependent on our ability to obtain merchandise that consumers want to buy, particularly designer label and branded merchandise with long-term retail appeal, and to acquire such merchandise under favorable terms and conditions. In fiscal year 2006, our largest ten suppliers accounted for approximately 43% of our inventory purchases. The deterioration of our relationship with any key vendor or vendors could result in delivery delays, merchandise shortages or less favorable terms than we currently enjoy. We deal with our suppliers on an order-by-order basis and have no long-term purchase contracts or other contractual assurances of continued supply or pricing. Our footwear purchases typically involve manufacturing make-ups (shoes made exclusively for our channel) and opportunistic purchases. As our operations expand, our need for off-price inventory will continue to increase. Our inability to obtain a sufficient supply of high margin inventory, to negotiate favorable discount and payment agreements with our suppliers or to make opportunistic purchases could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our failure to retain our existing senior management team and to continue to attract qualified new personnel could adversely affect our business.
Our future success will be dependent, to a significant extent, on the efforts and abilities of our executive officers. Dmitry Beinus, the founder, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of our company, has primary responsibility for all major business decisions, including expansion into new states and regions, advertising, promotion and marketing activities. The loss of the services of any one of our executive officers, and Mr. Beinus in particular, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. In addition, our continued growth will depend, in part, on our ability to attract, motivate and retain skilled managerial and
12
merchandising personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain a substantial percentage of our existing personnel or attract additional qualified personnel in the future.
We have one distribution center. The loss or disruption of this center could have an adverse effect on our business and operations.
Most of the inventory we purchase is shipped directly from vendors to a single centralized distribution center maintained by a third-party operator in Chino, California, where the inventory is then processed, sorted and shipped to our stores. Because a substantial portion of the inventory first goes through the Chino distribution center, any disruption at this site could negatively impact our receiving and distribution process. Our business interruption insurance may not be invoked or be sufficient to mitigate the financial losses caused by a disruption of this center.
We would be adversely affected if our information technology systems were disrupted.
Our corporate information technology infrastructure is essential to our distribution process. If our information technology systems were shut down for any reason, such as a natural disaster, power outage or terrorist attack, or if our information technology systems do not operate effectively, we could incur significantly higher costs and longer lead times associated with distributing our products to our stores. Our insurance coverage may not be invoked or be sufficient to mitigate the financial losses resulting from a disruption in our information technology systems.
Because much of our merchandise originates from foreign sources our business is subject to many of the risks associated with international trade.
Many of the vendors with which we conduct business source their products from outside of the United States, particularly China, Brazil and Italy. As a result, we are subject to the risks generally associated with purchasing from foreign suppliers, such as:
13
There can be no assurance that the foregoing factors will not disrupt our supply of directly-sourced goods or otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations in the future.
Our profitability may be negatively impacted by inventory shrinkage caused by customer and employee theft.
The retail industry is subject to theft by customers and employees. Because we use a self-service format, where shoppers have access to both shoes of a pair, we must maintain substantial store security. There can be no assurance that we will not suffer from significant inventory shrinkage in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be unable to compete favorably in the highly competitive retail footwear market.
The retail footwear market is highly competitive, and we expect the level of competition to increase. We compete with off-price and discount retailers (e.g., Nordstrom Rack, Payless Shoe Source, Ross Dress for Less and Famous Footwear), branded retail outlets (e.g., Nine West, Reebok and adidas), national and regional retail stores (e.g., DSW Shoe Warehouse, Nordstrom, Marshalls, Macy's, Sears, J.C. Penney, Loehmann's and Mervyn's), traditional shoe stores and mass merchants. Many of these competitors have stores in the markets in which we now operate and in which we plan to expand. Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have. In addition, new participants may enter the off-price segment of the footwear market in the future. Competitive pressures resulting from competitors' pricing policies could have a material adverse affect on our gross margins. As a result, we may face greater competition from other national, regional or local retailers and we may not be able to compete successfully with existing and new competitors. Our inability to effectively respond to such competition could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Failure to achieve and maintain effective design and operation of internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
We are in the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the course of our testing we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
The price of our common stock may be volatile.
Our common stock is thinly traded making it difficult to sell large amounts. The market price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to factors such as quarterly variations in operating results, operating results which vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors, changes in financial estimates, changes in market valuations of competitors, announcements by us or our competitors of a material nature, additions or departures of key personnel, future sales of common stock and stock volume fluctuations. Also, general political and economic conditions such as a recession or interest rate fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
As of December 30, 2006, we operated a total of 108 retail stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and New Mexico. Our 108 stores occupied an aggregate of approximately 1,350,000 square feet of space. The average store size is approximately 12,500 square feet. We lease all of our stores, with leases expiring between 2007 and 2017, with the exception of one lease expiring in 2021. We have the option to renew most of our leases. Our corporate offices are located in a 9,100 square foot facility in Sherman Oaks, California.
We are the defendant in a patent infringement action brought by DSW Inc. and DSW Shoe Warehouse, Inc. (collectively "DSW") in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, California in October 2006. DSW alleges that we used an original, and now use a redesigned shoe display/storage fixture that infringes its U.S. Patents. We have counterclaimed that the patents are either invalid or not infringed. Initially, DSW moved for a preliminary injunction seeking to halt our use of the redesigned displays until the case was ultimately decided. In late November 2006, the Court denied DSW's request. The Court agreed preliminarily that the redesigned display did not infringe and held that DSW was not likely to prevail on its claims because the patent claims were likely invalid and/or not infringed. We believe that the Court's preliminary ruling is correct and that ultimately we will prevail on the merits. In the unlikely event that we do not ultimately prevail, we believe that damages, if any, will not be significant. In light of the Court's findings in its order denying preliminary injunctive relief, we intend to vigorously defend against DSW's claims and prosecute our counterclaim for declaratory relief.
We are a defendant in two class action lawsuits, one filed on January 22, 2007, and the other filed on February 9, 2007, both in the United States District Court, Central District of California. Both lawsuits have been filed by individuals alleging that we continue to print more than the last five digits and expiration date on credit card receipts in violation of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act. The first complaint was served on us on January 26, 2007. We have not been served in the second matter as of March 6, 2007. Accordingly, it is premature to address the risk of loss presented by these cases, or the amount or range of potential loss.
From time to time we are party to various routine legal proceedings incidental to normal business activities. We believe that while it is reasonably possible that some of these matters will result in settlements to be paid by us, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations, either due to the nature of the claims, or because we believe that such claims should not exceed the limits of our insurance coverage.

Overview
Shoe Pavilion is an independent off-price footwear retailer with locations in the Western and Southwestern United States. As of December 30, 2006, we operated 108 stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and New Mexico. We were among the first footwear retailers on the West Coast to expand the off-price concept into the branded footwear market. We offer a broad selection of quality designer label and branded footwear, typically at 20% to 60% below regular department store prices, in a convenient self-service store format.
We are positioned in the retail market between discount and department stores. Unlike discount stores, we offer designer label and branded footwear that, in our opinion, has long-term customer appeal. As a result, we appeal to quality, style and designer label- oriented customers with relatively higher spending power. Unlike department stores, our prices are designed to appeal to value- oriented consumers seeking quality branded footwear typically found at department stores or branded retail outlets at higher everyday prices.
Our stores are strategically located in strip malls, outlet centers, large format retail centers and downtown locations, frequently in close proximity to other off-price apparel retailers that attract similar customers. Our stores averaged approximately 12,500 square feet in 2006. On average, over 20,000 pairs of shoes from over 100 brands are displayed on the selling floor at most of our stores, compared to a significantly smaller product offering at typical department stores. Over the last several years, we have focused on closing smaller stores as the leases expire and replacing them with larger stores in more attractive locations. Our goal is to become a leading retailer of value-priced branded footwear in the United States.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events which affect the results of our operations and the reported value of assets and liabilities. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results
18
may differ from our estimates.
We believe that our application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. We constantly reevaluate these accounting policies and estimates, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change. Historically, we have found our application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and our actual results have not differed materially from those determined by using necessary estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following summarizes critical accounting policies which require significant estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue at the time the products are received by our customers in accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" as amended by SAB No. 104, "Revenue Recognition". Revenue is recognized for store sales at the point at which the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the register with either cash or credit card.
Discounts offered to customers consist primarily of point of sale markdowns and are recorded at the time of the related sale as a reduction of revenue. Gift certificates are carried as a liability when sold and revenue is recognized when the gift certificate is redeemed or when the likelihood of redemption becomes remote. Similarly, customers may receive a store credit in exchange for returned goods. Store credits are carried as a liability until redeemed or when the likelihood of redemption becomes remote.
We record a reserve for estimated product returns based on historical return trends. Returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue. At December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the reserve was $175,000 and $118,000, respectively. If actual returns are greater than those projected, additional sales returns reserves may be recorded in the future.
Inventory Valuation. Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. We adjust inventory based on historical experience and current information in order to assure that inventory is recorded properly at the lower of average cost or market. The factors we consider include current sell through, seasonality and length of time held in inventory. The amount ultimately realized from the sale of our inventory could differ materially from our estimates.
Long-lived Assets. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. We evaluate the carrying value of assets associated with stores which have been open at least 14 consecutive months. We record an impairment charge to write down the assets to their estimated fair value if the carrying values of such assets exceed their related expected undiscounted future cash flows. The impairment charge is recorded in general and administrative expenses. Our estimates and assumptions used in the projections are subject to a high degree of judgment and if actual results differ, additional losses may be recorded.
Self-insurance. We record an estimated liability for the self-insured portion of workers' compensation claims based on our historical experience and an evaluation of outstanding claims. On December 1, 2006, we changed to premium based insurance.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales includes product costs, inbound freight, inventory shrinkage and store occupancy costs. It does not include purchasing, warehousing, distribution costs and inter-store freight transportation, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Our gross margin may not be comparable to other retailers as some of these entities include purchasing, warehousing, distribution and inter-store freight transportation expenses in cost of sales.
Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred income taxes result primarily from deferred rent, fixed asset basis differences and differences between inventory valuation for tax purposes and the amount recorded under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
19
We provide a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some or a portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. Based upon our history of earnings, we believe that the realization of our deferred tax asset is more likely than not and therefore we have not provided a valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset.
Share-Based Compensation. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"). The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton ("BSM") option valuation model. We record stock based compensation as an expense over the vesting period of the stock option.

Net Sales - Sales increased $28.8 million, or 28.1%, from $102.5 million for fiscal year 2005 to $131.3 million for fiscal year 2006. The sales growth is the result of increased sales of $18.3 million generated from 24 new stores opened in fiscal year 2006 and a comparable store sales increase of 3.9%, partially offset by a sales reduction of $2.9 million from closed stores. We opened eight new stores in the first half of fiscal year 2006 compared to sixteen new stores opened in the second half of fiscal year 2006. Comparable store sales are based upon stores open at least 13 consecutive months.
Gross Profit - Cost of sales includes landed merchandise and occupancy costs. Gross profit increased $8.1 million, or 22.6%, primarily as a result of increased sales. As a percent of sales, gross profit decreased from 35.0% for fiscal year 2005 to 33.5% for fiscal year 2006. The 1.5% decrease as a percent of sales resulted from higher occupancy expenses of 2.0%, primarily related to our new stores, offset by improved selling margins of 0.5%.
Selling Expenses - Selling expenses increased $6.2 million, or 27.8%, from $22.4 million for fiscal year 2005 to $28.6 million for fiscal year 2006, primarily because of expenses related to additional new stores. The $6.2 million increase in selling expenses is primarily due to increases of $3.3 million in store salaries, $1.1 million in advertising costs, $0.6 million in freight expenses, $0.3 million in payroll taxes and $0.3 million in credit card fees. As a percent of sales, selling expenses were unchanged at 21.8% for fiscal year 2005 and fiscal year 2006. As a percent of sales, advertising costs decreased from 4.7% for fiscal year 2005 to 4.5% for fiscal year 2006.
General and Administrative Expenses - General and administrative expenses increased $2.7 million, or 30.7%, from $8.7 million for fiscal year 2005 to $11.4 million for fiscal year 2006, primarily from expenses related
20
to additional new stores. The $2.7 million increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to increases of $0.9 million in utilities costs, $0.6 million in legal and accounting fees, $0.5 million in administrative salaries and $0.3 million in warehouse fees. As a percent of sales, general and administrative expenses increased from 8.5% for fiscal year 2005 to 8.7% for fiscal year 2006. The 0.2% increase as a percent of sales is primarily due to an increase of 0.4% in utilities costs, partially offset by savings of 0.2% in miscellaneous expenses.
Interest Expense - Interest expense increased $0.4 million, or 72.6%, from $0.5 million for fiscal year 2005 to $0.9 million for fiscal year 2006 due to a higher average interest rate and increased borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Income Tax Expense - The effective income tax rate increased from 39.1% for fiscal year 2005 to 41.6% for fiscal year 2006, primarily as a result of state provision adjustments reconciling the estimated effective rate utilized in the state and federal tax blend.

Net Sales - Net sales for 2005 increased 19.5 percent to $102.5 million compared to $85.8 million for 2004. This increase in net sales in 2005 is primarily due to a 6.9% increase in comparable store sales, increased sales of $13.3 million generated from new stores opened in 2005 and increased sales of $0.7 million due to relocating existing stores. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $2.7 million related to the closing of underperforming stores.
The increase in comparable store sales was primarily driven by the increase in the women's and men's categories and to a lesser degree from the children's category and other accessories category, which were added to the product line in 2004.
Gross Profit - Cost of sales includes landed merchandise and occupancy costs. Gross profit for 2005 increased 20.0% to $35.9 million from $29.9 million in 2004. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for 2005 increased to 35.0% compared to 34.9% for 2004. Despite absorbing $0.2 million of pre-opening costs in the fourth quarter related to our new stores in Dallas, Texas, as a percentage of net sales, occupancy costs decreased by 2.5 percentage points, which was partially offset by an increase in landed merchandise costs of 0.8% of revenues.
Selling Expenses - Selling expenses in 2005 increased $3.1 million, or 16.1%, to $22.4 million from $19.3 million in 2004. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses were 21.8% of net sales in 2005, compared with 22.5% in 2004. The increased amount spent for selling expenses is primarily attributable to increases in labor costs
21
of $1.9 million, advertising expenses of $0.5 million, freight expenses of $0.4 million and merchant fees for credit card sales of $0.2 million. Advertising decreased to 4.7% of net sales in 2005 compared to 5.0% in 2004, primarily due to a higher sales level in 2005.
General and Administrative Expenses - General and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate and administrative expenses, including payroll, store utilities, warehousing costs, professional fees and insurance. General and administrative expenses increased $1.8 million to $8.7 million in 2005 from $6.9 million in 2004. The increase in 2005 was partially due to the relocation of our corporate offices to Southern California. We incurred moving expenses of $0.3 million and increased rent expense of $0.1 million. The remaining increase in general and administrative expenses in 2005 was primarily due to increased utilities expenses of $0.3 million due to higher energy costs, increased legal and accounting expenses of $0.2 million and an increase in other miscellaneous expenses of $0.6 million due to a higher level of overall business activity in 2005.
Interest Expense - Interest expense increased $0.2 million in 2005 due to higher average borrowings under our credit agreement and an increase in interest rates of 2.0% during the year.
Income Tax Expense - Income tax expense increased $0.4 million from $1.3 million in 2004 to $1.7 million in 2005, representing a change in the effective income tax rate from 39.3% to 39.1%. The increase in the income tax expense was primarily due to the increase in pre-tax income for 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary capital requirements are for inventory, store expansion, relocation and remodeling. Historically, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility have met our liquidity needs. Additionally, in March 2006, we sold 2,000,000 shares of our common stock in a public offering at $7.20 per share and received $12.8 million in net proceeds from the offering, of which $0.3 million was from warrants issued to one of the underwriters. We believe that these sources will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $16.0 million, $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities in fiscal year 2006 was primarily the result of net income of $1.9 million, adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $1.9 million, increase in accounts payable of $2.1 million, increases in accrued expenses and deferred rent of $4.0 million, offset by an increase in inventory of $21.5 million. The increase in inventory as of December 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to the opening of 24 stores in fiscal year 2006.
Working capital at December 30, 2006 increased to $34.1 million from $23.3 million as of December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to using our net income and additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility to open 24 new stores. By opening these stores, we increased our inventories and tenant improvement allowances receivable.
Investing Activities
Capital expenditures for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $10.0 million, $3.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Expenditures for fiscal year 2006 was primarily related to leasehold improvements and fixtures and equipment for the 24 new stores of approximately $8.0 million. Expenditures for fiscal year 2005 was primarily related to leasehold improvements and fixtures and equipment for the ten new stores of approximately $2.6 million, the remodel and upgrade of stores of approximately $0.6 million and the costs related to the relocation of two stores of approximately $0.6 million. Expenditures for fiscal year 2004 was primarily related to leasehold improvements and fixtures for the six new stores we opened.
We estimate that capital expenditures for fiscal year 2007 will be approximately $10 - $12 million, net of lease incentives. The actual amount of capital expenditures will depend in part upon the number of stores we open in fiscal year 2007 and the lease incentives received from landlords. The number of stores ultimately opened is in
22
part dependent upon the availability of desirable locations and management's ability to negotiate acceptable lease terms. We plan on opening 20-25 new stores in fiscal year 2007.
Financing Activities
We believe that our current operating cash flow, working capital, cash on hand and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our obligations in the ordinary course of business over the next 12 months, including capital expenditures and new store openings. Traditionally, we have experienced the largest use of cash from operating activities in the latter part of the third quarter and in the fourth quarter due to the build up of inventory to support the holiday season, resulting in additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Cash provided by financing activities for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $26.2 million, $4.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2006 primarily relates to the net increase in borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the net proceeds of $12.8 million from a public offering of 2 million shares of our common stock in March 2006. The cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2005 primarily relates to the net increase in borrowings under our revolving credit facility, the proceeds from the sale of convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants and the exercise of stock options. The cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2004 relates to the net increase in borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Revolving Credit Facility
We maintain a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC that provides for borrowings of up to $30.0 million, including a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be increased at our option up to a maximum of $50.0 million, so long as no event of default has occurred and upon payment of a fee of 0.25% of the amount by which we request that the credit facility be increased. Under the terms of the revolving credit facility, we are subject to an annual capital expenditures limit of $10.0 million. In each remaining year of the revolving credit facility, Wells Fargo has indicated that it will adjust our capital expenditure limit based upon our business plan. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are based upon a percentage of eligible inventory less certain reserves. The minimum available reserve that we must maintain under the revolving credit facility is 7.5% times the maximum borrowing amount then in effect. Borrowings are secured by inventory, equipment, general intangibles and other rights to payments.
The revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including a limitation on capital expenditures. The revolving credit facility does not contain any restrictions on disposal of assets or closure of stores other than a restriction prohibiting us from taking action to convey, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of our assets. The revolving credit facility restricts us from incurring additional indebtedness, except to the extent provided in the revolving credit facility, from consigning any of our inventories to third parties under a bill and hold, sale or return, sale on approval or other conditional terms of sales and from making any distribution, declaration or payment of any dividend (in cash or other property, other than common stock).
Borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at the prime rate or London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.25% to 1.75%, depending on our average excess availability. The average interest rate on outstanding borrowings at December 30, 2006 was 7.1%. As of December 30, 2006, approximately $5.6 million was available for advances under the revolving credit facility. As of December 30, 2006, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of our revolving credit facility.
The revolving credit facility expires in April 2011 and we have the ability to maintain this debt outstanding for more than one year. However, we have classified our borrowings under the revolving credit facility as a current liability as we are required by the terms of the loan agreement to maintain depository sweep accounts that are used to pay down the revolving credit facility on a daily basis.
23
Stock Offerings
Public Offering of Common Stock
In March 2006, we sold 2,000,000 shares of our common stock in a public offering at $7.20 per share. In addition to the common stock sold by us, 1,450,000 shares of common stock held by our Chief Executive Officer (the "Selling Stockholder") were sold in the offering. In connection with the offering, we also issued to one of our underwriters warrants to purchase up to 150,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $8.64 per share.
We used the net proceeds received from the offering of $12.8 million to open new stores, purchase inventory and for working capital. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of 1,450,000 common stock shares by the Selling Stockholder.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Financing
On October 3, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement under which we issued and sold to an investor in a private placement 3,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") and warrants to purchase up to 25% of the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of $3.0 million. The shares of Preferred Stock were converted by the investor into an aggregate of 571,428 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $5.25 per share in January 2006. The warrants entitle the investor to purchase up to 142,857 shares of common stock. Of this total, 71,429 warrants are exercisable at $8.00 per share and 71,428 warrants are exercisable at $11.00 per share. The warrants expire on October 3, 2008. The funds received from this transaction are being used for general working capital purposes.

We currently expect that anticipated cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our capital requirements may vary significantly from anticipated needs, depending upon such factors as operating results and the number and timing of new store openings.
If our expenses or capital requirements increase materially or if our cash flows from operations are materially lower than expected, we may need to seek additional financing, which may not be available on attractive terms or at
24
all. See Item 1A. "Risk Factors" for a description of certain factors that may impact our expenses, capital requirements and cash flows from operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115". SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this statement will have on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". This statement clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not determined the effect, if any, the adoption of this statement will have on our results of operations or financial position.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. We estimate the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements to be an adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $0.2 million to $0.3 million.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risks includes changes in U.S. interest rates and foreign exchange rates. We do not engage in financial transactions for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk - The interest payable on our revolving credit facility is based on variable interest rates and therefore is affected by changes in market rates. The impact on earnings or cash flow during the next fiscal year from a change of 100 basis points in the interest rate would not be significant. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and believe that our market risk is insignificant.
Foreign Currency Risks - We did not have any foreign exchange contracts outstanding at December 30, 2006. We make minimal purchases outside of the United States that involve foreign currencies and, therefore, have only minimal exposure to foreign currency exchange risks. We do not typically hedge against foreign currency risks and believe that foreign currency exchange risk is insignificant.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Shoe Pavilion, Inc.
Index to Consolidated Financial Statements

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Shoe Pavilion, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Shoe Pavilion, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment", effective January 1, 2006.
As discussed in Note 12, the accompanying 2005 and 2004 consolidated statements of cash flows have been restated.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Basis of Presentation Shoe Pavilion, Inc. (the "Company"), founded in 1979, is an independent off-price footwear retailer with locations in the
Western and Southwestern United States. The Company operates as a single reportable business segment with 108 stores at
December 30, 2006 in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and New Mexico. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Consolidation Policy - The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Shoe Pavilion Corporation. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Periods - The Company's fiscal year end is based upon a fifty-two or fifty-three week year ending on the
Saturday nearest to December 31st. All references herein to fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 refer to the fiscal
years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively. December 30, 2006,
December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 were 52 week years. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statements to conform to the
current-year presentation. Reclass relates to the netting of other income with interest expense in the consolidated statement of
operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005. Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents represents cash on hand, cash deposits in banks and
highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company has a concentration of credit risk when cash deposits in banks are in
excess of federally insured limits in the event of nonperformance by the related financial institution. However, management does not
anticipate nonperformance by these financial institutions. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
borrowings under the revolving credit facility approximates their estimated fair values at December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
due to the short-term nature of accounts receivable and accounts payable and the floating rate of the revolving credit facility. Inventory Valuation - Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. The Company adjusts
inventory based on historical experience and current information in order to assure that inventory is recorded properly at the lower of
average cost or market. The factors the Company considers include current sell through, seasonality and length of time held in
inventory. The amount ultimately realized from the sale of the Company's inventories could differ materially from its estimates. The Company purchases inventory from international and domestic vendors. For fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company's
top ten suppliers accounted for approximately 43%, 40% and 44%, of inventory purchases, respectively. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful lives of the assets or lease term, generally five to
ten years. 32
Long-lived Assets - The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Management evaluates the carrying value of assets
associated with stores which have been open at least 14 consecutive months. The Company records an impairment charge to write
down the assets to their estimated fair value if the carrying values of such assets exceed their related expected undiscounted future
cash flows. The impairment charge, if any, is recorded in general and administrative expenses. Management's estimates and
assumptions used in the projections are subject to a high degree of judgment and if actual results differ, additional losses may be
recorded. Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred income
taxes result primarily from deferred rent, fixed asset basis differences and differences between inventory valuation for tax purposes and
the amount recorded under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company provides a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some or a portion or the entire deferred tax asset
will not be realized. Based upon the Company's history of earnings, it believes that the realization of its deferred tax asset is more likely
than not and therefore the Company has not provided a valuation allowance for its deferred tax asset. Deferred Rent - Certain of the Company's store leases provide for free or reduced rent during an initial
portion of the lease term. Deferred rent consists of the aggregate obligation for lease payments under these leases accrued on a
straight-line basis over the lease term, including any free rent build out periods, in excess of amounts paid. In addition, deferred rent
includes construction allowances received from landlords, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term. Self-insurance - The Company records an estimated liability for the self-insured portion of its workers'
compensation claims based on its historical experience and an evaluation of outstanding claims. On December 1, 2006, the Company
changed to premium based insurance policy. Pre-opening Costs - Store pre-opening costs are charged to expense as incurred. Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue at the time the products are received by the customers
in accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements" as amended by SAB No. 104, "Revenue Recognition". Revenue is recognized for store sales at the point
at which the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the register with either cash or credit card. Discounts offered to customers consist primarily of point of sale markdowns and are recorded at the time of the related sale as a
reduction of revenue. Gift certificates sold are carried as a liability when sold and revenue is recognized when the gift certificate is
redeemed or when the likelihood of redemption becomes remote. Similarly, customers may receive a store credit in exchange for
returned goods. Store credits are carried as a liability until redeemed or when the likelihood of redemption becomes remote. The Company records a reserve for estimated product returns based on historical return trends. Returns are recorded as a
reduction of revenue. At December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the reserve was $175,000 and $118,000, respectively. Cost of Sales - Cost of sales includes product costs, inbound freight, inventory shrinkage and store occupancy
costs. It does not include purchasing, warehousing, distribution costs and inter-store freight transportation, which are included in
selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company's gross margin may not be comparable to other retailers as some of these
entities include purchasing, warehousing, distribution and inter-store freight transportation expenses in cost of sales. These expenses
were approximately $3.9 million, $2.9 million and $2.4 million for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Advertising Expense - For fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company spent $5.9 million, $4.8 million and
$4.3 million, respectively on advertising. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. 33
On occasion the Company receives co-operative advertising fees and margin assistance from its suppliers. Co-operative
advertising allowances in 2006, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $42,000, $47,000 and $49,000, respectively. These amounts were
recorded as a reduction in advertising expense. Margin assistance received for merchandise still in stock is recorded as a reduction in
inventory cost for the related merchandise and results in a reduction in cost of sales at the time of sale. Margin assistance received
after the related merchandise has been sold is recorded as a reduction of cost of sales in the period negotiations are finalized. Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share is computed as net income available to common stockholders divided by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed as net income
available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive
common equivalent shares outstanding for the period. Earnings per share for fiscal year 2005 included the effect of the 3,000 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2005 using the two-class method. The following table summarizes the allocation of earnings using the two-class method: The following table summarizes the incremental shares from potentially dilutive securities, calculated using the treasury stock
method: Approximately 343,000, 232,000 and 94,000 options and warrants for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Share-Based Compensation - The Company has two share-based compensation plans: the Amended and
Restated 1998 Equity Incentive Plan and the Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. Prior to the January 1, 2006 adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 123(R),
"Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the
intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees," and related interpretations. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123") stock-based compensation was included as a pro forma disclosure in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified
prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense is
34
recognized in the consolidated financial statements for granted, modified or settled stock options. Results for prior periods have not been restated, as provided for
under the modified prospective method. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as
operating cash inflows in the consolidated statements of cash flows, in accordance with the provisions of the Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") Issue No. 00-15, "Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Income Tax Benefit Received by
a Company upon Exercise of a Nonqualified Employee Stock Option." SFAS 123R requires the benefits of tax deductions in
excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options to be classified as financing cash inflows rather than operating cash
inflows, on a prospective basis. The impact of this change was not material to the Company. The following table shows the effect on net income and earnings per share had compensation cost been recognized based upon
the estimated fair value on the grant date of stock options in accordance with SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure": The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton ("BSM") option
valuation model. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, the Company initially used the binomial lattice method of
option valuation for options granted through July 2006. However, upon further review, management determined that the BSM
model would be more appropriate over the long-term for the Company and accordingly, options issued after July 2006 were valued
using the BSM model. The difference in valuation results between the two methods was not significant. The weighted
average assumptions used in the models are as follows: The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of
similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. The
expected stock price volatility is based on reference to the historical volatility of the Company's stock, adjusted for management's
estimate of future volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with
an equivalent remaining term. The Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not plan to pay any dividends in the near
future. 35
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities -
Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115". SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure
eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has
been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this statement will have on the Company's
consolidated financial position and results of operations. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". This statement clarifies the definition
of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No.
157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not determined the effect, if any, the adoption of this
statement will have on our results of operations or financial position. In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a
company's financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". FIN 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. We estimate the impact of adopting FIN 48 on
our consolidated financial statements to be an adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $0.2 million to $0.3 million. 3. Property and Equipment The following table summarizes the components of property and equipment: 4. Financing Agreements The Company maintains a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC that provides for borrowings of up to $30.0
million, including a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility
may be increased at the Company's option up to a maximum of $50.0 million, so long as no event of default has occurred and upon
payment of a fee of 0.25% of the amount by which the Company requests that the credit facility be increased. Under the terms of the
revolving credit facility, the Company is subject to an annual capital expenditures limit of $10.0 million. In each remaining year of the
revolving credit facility, Wells Fargo has indicated that it will adjust the Company's capital expenditure limit based upon its business
plan. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are based upon a percentage of eligible inventory less certain reserves. The
minimum available reserve that the Company must maintain under the revolving credit facility is 7.5% times the maximum borrowing
amount then in effect. Borrowings are secured by inventory, equipment, general intangibles and other rights to payments. 36
The revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including a limitation on capital expenditures. The revolving
credit facility does not contain any restrictions on disposal of assets or closure of stores other than a restriction prohibiting the Company
from taking action to convey, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, in one transaction or a series of transactions,
all or substantially all of its assets. The revolving credit facility restricts the Company from incurring additional indebtedness, except to
the extent provided in the revolving credit facility, from consigning any of its inventories to third parties under a bill and hold, sale or
return, sale on approval or other conditional terms of sales and from making any distribution, declaration or payment of any dividend (in
cash or other property, other than common stock). As of December 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with the financial
covenants of its revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility bear interest at the prime rate or London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
plus 1.25% to 1.75%, depending on the Company's Average Excess Availability. The average interest rate on outstanding borrowings
at December 30, 2006 was 7.1%. As of December 30, 2006, approximately $5.6 million was available for advances under the revolving
credit facility. The revolving credit facility expires in April 2011 and the Company has the ability to maintain this debt outstanding for more than
one year. However, the Company has classified its borrowings under the revolving credit facility as a current liability as the Company is
required by the terms of the loan agreement to maintain depository sweep accounts that are used to pay down the revolving credit
facility on a daily basis. 5. Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases - The Company is obligated under operating leases for store locations and equipment. While
most of the agreements provide for minimum lease payments and include rent escalation clauses, certain of the store leases provide for
additional rentals contingent upon prescribed sales volumes. Additionally, the Company is required to pay common area maintenance
and other costs associated with the centers in which the stores operate. Most of the leases provide for renewal at the option of the
Company. The following table summarizes future minimum lease payments required: Rental expense for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $22.1 million, $15.8 million and $13.5 million, respectively,
including contingent rentals of $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Capital Leases - The Company has capital lease arrangements for fixtures and information technology totaling $0.6
million, of which $0.2 million will become due within the next 12 months. Total accumulated depreciation on capital leases is $0.1
million and current year depreciation expense on capital leases is $0.1 million. Future obligations under these non-cancellable capital
leases are as follows: 37
Letters of Credit - The Company obtains letters of credit in connection with overseas purchase arrangements. The
total amounts outstanding were approximately $2.6 million and $1.6 million as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively. As of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company also had $0.6 million in standby letters of credit relating
to its workers compensation policy and rental agreements. 6. Legal Proceedings The Company is the defendant in a patent infringement action brought by DSW Inc. and DSW Shoe Warehouse, Inc. (collectively
"DSW") in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, California in October 2006. DSW alleges that the Company used an
original, and now uses a redesigned shoe display/storage fixture that infringes its U.S. Patents. The Company has counterclaimed that
the patents are either invalid or not infringed. Initially, DSW moved for a preliminary injunction seeking to halt the Company's use of the
redesigned displays until the case was ultimately decided. In late November 2006, the Court denied DSW's request. The Court agreed
preliminarily that the redesigned display did not infringe and held that DSW was not likely to prevail on its claims because the patent
claims were likely invalid and/or not infringed. The Company believes that the Court's preliminary ruling is correct and that ultimately
the Company will prevail on the merits. In the unlikely event that the Company does not ultimately prevail, it believes that damages, if
any, will not be significant. In light of the Court's findings in its order denying preliminary injunctive relief, the Company intends to
vigorously defend against DSW's claims and prosecute its counterclaim for declaratory relief.
The Company is a defendant in two class action lawsuits, one filed on January 22, 2007, and the
other filed on February 9, 2007, both in the United States District Court, Central District of California.
Both lawsuits have been filed by individuals alleging that the Company continues to print more than the
last five digits and expiration date on credit card receipts in violation of the Fair and Accurate Credit
Transaction Act. The first complaint was served on the Company on January 26, 2007. The Company has
not been served in the second matter as of March 6, 2007. Accordingly, it is premature to address the risk
of loss presented by these cases, or the amount or range of potential loss.
From time to time the Company is party to various routine legal proceedings incidental to normal business activities. The Company
believes that while it is reasonably possible that some of these matters will result in settlements to be paid by the Company, the ultimate
resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition or results of operations, either
due to the nature of the claims, or because the Company believes that such claims should not exceed the limits of its insurance
coverage. 7. Stockholders' Equity Public Offering of Common Stock In March 2006, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock in a public offering
at $7.20 per share. In addition to the common stock sold by the Company, 1,450,000 shares of common stock held by the Company's
Chief Executive Officer (the "Selling Stockholder") was sold in the offering. In connection with the
38
offering, the Company issued to one of the Company's underwriters warrants to purchase up to 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of
$8.64. The warrants expire in March 2009. The net proceeds of the offering were $12.8 million, of which $345,000 was determined to be the relative fair value of the warrants,
$2,000 was recorded as the par value of the common stock issued, and the remaining $12,382,000 was recorded as additional paid-in
capital. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of 1,450,000 common shares by the Selling Stockholder. The
relative fair value analysis was based on
the BSM valuation model with the following assumptions: volatility, 55%;
expected dividends, none; expected term, 3 years; and risk free interest rate, 4.2%. Issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants In October 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement under which the Company issued and sold to an
investor in a private placement 3,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") and
warrants to purchase up to 25 percent of the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of $3.0 million. The shares of Preferred Stock were convertible at the option of the investor into
an aggregate of 571,428 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $5.25 per share. In January 2006, all shares of Preferred
Stock were converted into 571,428 shares of the Company's common stock. The Warrants entitle the investor to purchase up to 142,857 shares of common stock. Of this total, 71,429 warrants (the "A
Warrants") are exercisable at $8.00 per share and 71,428 warrants (the "B Warrants") are exercisable at $11.00 per
share. Both warrants expire in October 2008. The funds received from this Convertible Preferred Stock transaction were used for
general working capital purposes. In connection with the private placement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Rights
Agreement") with the investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file with the SEC within 30 days of the
closing a registration statement covering the resale of shares of common stock that were issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock and upon exercise of the warrants. The required registration statement was timely filed and declared effective by the SEC in
January 2006. The Company allocated $2.5 million of the net proceeds to additional paid-in capital for the Preferred Stock, $0.1 million to
additional paid-in capital for the relative fair value of the warrants, and $0.1 million to accrued liabilities for the fair value of the liability
under the Rights Agreement. The Company also reduced additional paid-in capital by approximately $0.3 million for direct offering
costs related to this offering. The relative fair value analysis was based on the BSM valuation model with the following assumptions:
volatility, 59%; expected dividends, none; expected term, 3 years; and risk free interest rate, 4.1%. 8. Stock Option Plans 1998 Equity Incentive Plan In January 1998, the Company's board of directors and stockholders adopted the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1998
Plan"), pursuant to which an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to key employees and
consultants. The 1998 Plan provides for awards of both nonqualified stock options and incentive stock options within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock subject to forfeiture and restrictions on
transfer, and performance awards entitling the recipient to receive cash or common stock in the future following the attainment of
performance goals determined by the board of directors. At December 30, 2006, there were 289,561 shares available for future grants
under the 1998 Plan and options to acquire 206,225 options for shares of common stock were exercisable. The term of incentive stock options granted under the 1998 Plan may not exceed ten years, or five years for incentive stock options
granted to an optionee owning more than 10% of the Company's voting stock. The exercise price of options under the 1998 Plan is
equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, except if the option is an incentive stock option
granted to an employee owning more than 10% of the
39
Company's voting stock. In that case, the option must have an exercise price
equal to or greater than 110% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date the option is granted. Unless provided otherwise in the applicable award agreement, each option shall vest and be exercisable in one or more
installments, which typically is 4 years, commencing on or after the first anniversary of the grant date. In the event of a change of
control, as defined in the 1998 Plan, all options held by the Company's executive officers shall become fully vested and exercisable.
The 1998 Plan is administered by the compensation committee which has the sole discretion to select the persons to whom
awards will be made, to determine the nature and amounts of such awards and to interpret, construe and implement the 1998 Plan.
Members of the committee are not eligible to receive awards under the 1998 Plan. 1998 Directors Stock Option Plan In January 1998, the Company's board of directors and stockholders adopted the 1998 Directors Stock Option Plan
("Directors' Plan"), pursuant to which an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance to
non-employee directors of the Company. The Directors' Plan is intended to further the interests of the Company by providing recognition
and compensation to its outside directors for their time, effort and participation in the growth and protection of the business. The
Directors' Plan provides that, at the time of his or her initial election or appointment to the board of directors, each director who is not an
employee of the Company will automatically be granted a nonqualified stock option to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock. In
addition, each outside director will automatically be granted a nonqualified option to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock on the
date of each annual meeting. The exercise price of all options granted under the Directors' Plan must be equal to the fair market value
of the Company's common stock at the time the option is granted. The options vest over one year and the contractual term is six years.
The Directors' Plan is administered by a committee consisting of the board of directors. At December 30, 2006, there were 22,500
shares available for future grant and options to acquire 12,500 shares of common stock were exercisable. Unless provided otherwise in the applicable award agreement, each option shall vest and be exercisable on the first anniversary of
the grant date. In the event of a change of control, as defined in the Directors' Plan, all options held by directors shall become fully
vested and exercisable. Summary of Stock Option Plans A summary of the Company's stock option activity for both plans is presented in the following table: 40
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before applicable income taxes and represents the amount optionees would
have received if all options had been exercised on the last business day of the period indicated,
based on the Company's average stock price for that day. As of December 30, 2006, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested stock
options was approximately $943,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.8 years.
The intrinsic value of options exercised in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $271,000, $580,000 and $1,000, respectively. A summary of the status of the Company's nonvested options as of January 1, 2006 and changes during fiscal year 2006 is
presented below: During fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, the total fair value of options vested was $301,000, $95,000 and $22,000, respectively.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $3.70, $3.38 and $1.35,
respectively. Compensation expense recorded in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 related to stock options was $256,000, $108,000
and zero, respectively. The resulting income tax benefit was $71,000 in fiscal year 2006 and zero in fiscal years 2005 and 2004. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. Additional information regarding options outstanding as of December 30, 2006, is as follows: 41
9. Employee Benefit Plan The Company maintains a 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan"). Employees become eligible to participate in the Plan after
completing six months of service and attainment of the age 21. Generally, employees may contribute up to 15% of their compensation
or a maximum of $15,500 in accordance with IRC Sections 402(g), 401(k) and 415. The Company may at its sole discretion, contribute
and allocate to each eligible participant's account a percentage of the participant's elective deferral contributions. The Company made
no contributions to the Plan for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004. The Company's contributions vest over a five-year period. 10. Income Taxes The following table summarizes the provision for income taxes: The following table summarizes a reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to the amount of income tax expense that would
result from applying the Federal statutory rate of 34.0% to income before income taxes: The following table summarizes the components of deferred tax assets (liabilities): 42
In accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", a valuation allowance is provided when it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Based upon its history of earnings the
Company believes that the realization of its deferred tax asset is more likely than not and therefore has not provided a valuation
allowance. 11. Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited) The following table summarizes the Company's quarterly financial information for fiscal years 2006 and 2005. The Company
has prepared this unaudited information on a basis consistent with its audited consolidated financial statements, reflecting all normal
recurring adjustments that it considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operating results for the fiscal
quarters presented. Basic and diluted net income per share are computed independently for each of the quarters presented.
Therefore, the sum of quarterly basic and diluted per share information may not equal annual basic and diluted net income per
share. 43
12. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements Subsequent to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company
determined that accounts payable incurred in connection with property and equipment expenditures represented a non-cash investing
activity that should not have been reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows until payment of the liabilities had been made.
Accordingly, the Company has corrected the classification of the unpaid purchases of property and equipment in the statement of cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005. The restatement had no effect on previously issued consolidated
balance sheets or consolidated statements of operations. Following is a summary of the correction: 44
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ( the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. Management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the
Exchange Act, as of December 30, 2006. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 30, 2006. Changes in Internal Controls There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. None. 45
