BOOKS-A MILLION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

  1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Books-A-Million, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The Company consists of Books-A-Million, Inc. and its seven wholly-owned subsidiaries: American Wholesale Book Company, Inc., booksamillion.com, inc., BAM Card Services, LLC, Preferred Growth Properties, LLC, PGP Florence, LLC, PGP Gardendale, LLC, and Pickering Partners, LLC. During the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013, the Company acquired an additional ownership interest of 10% in Yogurt Mountain Holding, LLC (“Yogurt Mountain”), increasing its total ownership to 50%. The Company has determined that its interest in Yogurt Mountain represents a controlling interest and, therefore, consolidated the financial statements of Yogurt Mountain, and presented a noncontrolling interest for the portion not owned by the Company (see Note 13 and Note 14). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. For a discussion of the Company’s business segments, see Note 7.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain financial information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The Company’s business, like that of many retailers, is seasonal, with a large portion of sales and operating profit realized during the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season. Thus, the quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

Certain reclassifications for discontinued operations and other insignificant reclassifications to amounts included in this report for prior periods were necessary to conform to the presentation of the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s pre-tax compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation was approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. The Company’s pre-tax compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively.

2005 Incentive Award Plan

During 2005, the Company adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved the Books-A-Million, Inc. 2005 Incentive Award Plan (as amended, the “2005 Plan”). An aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock may be awarded under the 2005 Plan. From June 1, 2005 through August 3, 2013, equity awards under the 2005 Plan have consisted solely of awards of restricted stock. As of August 3, 2013, the remaining number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan for stock-based awards was 337,553 shares.

The Company maintains an employee stock purchase plan (as amended, the “Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan”) under which shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for purchase by employees at 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the lower of the market value for the Company’s stock as of the beginning of the fiscal year or the end of the fiscal year. At inception of the Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan, an aggregate of 600,000 shares were available for issuance to participants. The Company received cash proceeds from issuances of stock under the Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan during each of the twenty-six week periods ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012 of $0.1 million. The impact of these cash receipts is included in financing activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

  2. Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, which requires entities to present information about significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for public companies prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The Company has elected disclosure in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as described in Note 16.

As of August 3, 2013, there were no new pronouncements, interpretations or staff positions that had or were expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s operations since the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013, filed on April 19, 2013.

  3. Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share attributable to Books-A-Million is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if share based payments are exercised. In periods of profitability, diluted net loss per common share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including the effect of outstanding share based payments, if dilutive.

For the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, certain share based payments were outstanding but were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because their effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss in all periods presented.

airplane use cover all of the variable costs attributable to the Company’s use of the planes and a portion of the fixed costs. Additionally, the Company entered into a promissory note with the Co-ownership Group on July 31, 2013 for the purpose of purchasing an airplane in which the Company owns a 19.7% interest as discussed above. The principal amount of this note is $0.6 million and matures on September 1, 2028. The note bears interest equal to the thirty-day LIBOR rate plus 2.75%. The Company is required to make periodic payment of principal and interest over the term of the loan. The outstanding balance of the note at August 3, 2013 was $0.6 million

The Company and Anderson Private Capital Partners I, L.P. (“APCP”) each holds a 50% ownership interest in Yogurt Mountain. APCP is an affiliate of the Company through common ownership. Upon Yogurt Mountain and APCP’s acquisition of an equity interest in Yogurt Mountain, APCP and the Company entered into a line of credit agreement (the “Line of Credit”) with Yogurt Mountain pursuant to which the Company and APCP each committed to provide up to $1.5 million to Yogurt Mountain under a non-revolving line of credit through March 2015, bearing interest at 9.0%. Yogurt Mountain must pay an annual commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the commitment. The proceeds from the Line of Credit must be used by Yogurt Mountain for the purpose of new store growth capital requirements. Effective November 14, 2011, the Company and APCP entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Yogurt Mountain, raising the interest rate to 11.0% and limiting the borrowings under the line of credit to $1.0 million each. The Company and APCP entered into an Amendment to the Line of Credit Loan Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) effective March 25, 2013. The Amended Loan Agreement allows Yogurt Mountain to use the remaining availability of $0.5 million from each of the Company and APCP’s Line of Credit to finance capital expenditures, or such other purposes as approved by the Company and APCP. The Company’s portion of the Line of Credit has been eliminated through the consolidation of Yogurt Mountain at August 3, 2013 and is shown as a note receivable in the amount of $1 million at February 2, 2013. See Note 14, Variable Interest Entities, for additional information regarding the Company’s ownership interest in Yogurt Mountain. At August 3, 2013, the Company has a $1 million related party note payable for the outstanding portion of the Line of Credit owed by Yogurt Mountain to APCP. All other related party transactions between the Company and Yogurt Mountain subsequent to the Company’s consolidation of Yogurt Mountain have been eliminated for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. For each of the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 (prior to the Company’s consolidation of Yogurt Mountain as of July 19, 2013) and July 28, 2012, the Company paid $0.2 million in franchise fees, royalty fees and other costs associated with the Company’s franchise of Yogurt Mountain stores within the Company’s stores, and received $0.2 million from Yogurt Mountain for interest, monitoring fees, professional fees and rent.

See Note 13, Equity Method Investments, for additional information regarding the Company’s investment in IF. As of the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, the Company had purchased items from IF in the amount of $0.1 million. The Company had amounts payable to IF of $21,000 at August 3, 2013.

 

  5. Commitments and Contingencies

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

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

The nature and terms of these types of indemnities vary. The events or circumstances that would require the Company to perform under these indemnities are transaction and circumstance specific. The overall maximum amount of possible obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant costs related to performance under these types of indemnities. No liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Company’s balance sheet at August 3, 2013 or February 2, 2013, as such potential liabilities were not probable at such dates.

 

  6. Inventories

The Company utilizes the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of accounting for inventories. An actual valuation under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. The cumulative difference between replacement and current cost of inventory over stated LIFO value was $4.5 million and $4.3 million as of August 3, 2013 and February 2, 2013, respectively. The estimated replacement cost of inventory is the current first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) value.

Inventory balances at August 3, 2013 and February 2, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):

  7. Business Segments

The Company has three reportable operating segments: retail trade; electronic commerce trade; and real estate development and management. The Company previously reported two operating segments, retail trade and electronic commerce; however, due to the expansion of its real estate development and management operations, the Company has now included its real estate development and management segment as a reportable segment along with the retail trade and electronic commerce segments. Prior periods have been updated to reflect this change in reportable segments. These reportable operating segments reflect the manner in which the business is managed and how the Company allocates resources and assesses performance internally. The chief operating decision makers of the Company are the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and President.

The Company’s three reportable segments are three distinct business units: a traditional retailer of book and related merchandise, a seller of book and related merchandise primarily over the Internet, and a real estate business that owns, develops and leases commercial retail real estate. The retail trade segment makes up the majority of the Company’s sales and includes the bookstore locations, its distribution center operations, as well as Yogurt Mountain owned stores and franchises. Through the distribution center operations, the Company also sells books to outside parties on a wholesale basis. These wholesale sales are not material. The electronic commerce trade segment is managed separately from the retail trade segment due to divergent technology and marketing requirements. Both the retail trade segment and the electronic commerce trade segment derive revenues primarily from the sale of books, magazines and general merchandise, including gifts, cards, games, toys, collectibles, music, DVDs, electronic devices and accessories. The real estate development and management segment is managed separately from the retail trade and electronic commerce trade segments, with a focus on deriving revenues through developing and leasing commercial retail real estate for purposes of earning rental income.

  8. Discontinued Operations

During the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, the Company closed three stores in markets where the Company does not expect another of its existing stores to absorb the closed store’s customers. The operating results of these stores are presented as discontinued in all periods presented. For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, the closed stores had sales of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and a net loss of $0.1 million and $27,000, respectively.

  9. Short-term Borrowing and Long-term Debt

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, including credit terms from vendors, and borrowings under its credit facility, described below. On March 21, 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank, and a group of participating financial institutions under which the Company may borrow up to the maximum principal amount of $150.0 million, which may be increased to $200.0 million under certain circumstances, and which was scheduled to mature on March 21, 2016. On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America whereby the parties agreed, among other things, (i) to extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to June 27, 2018, (ii) to lower the applicable margin to 1.50% - 2.00% for LIBOR loans and 0.50% - 1.00% on prime rate loans, and (iii) to lower the fee imposed on the unused portion of the loan to 0.25%. As of August 3, 2013, the maximum principal amount available under the Credit Facility was $127.6 million, based on the calculated borrowing base availability at that time. Interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility is determined based upon the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (as specified in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the participating financial institutions have agreed to make revolving loans to the Company and to issue, up to a $35.0 million sublimit, letters of credit for the Company. Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Bank of America, in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, has also agreed to make same day advances to the Company in the form of swing line loans up to a $15.0 million sublimit. The obligations of the Company under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured by the inventories, accounts receivable and certain other personal property of the Company, pursuant to the terms of a security agreement with Bank of America and the other lenders. Additionally, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain non-financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at August 3, 2013.

As of August 3, 2013, there were outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility (excluding the face amount of letters of credit issued thereunder) of $46.1 million, which bear interest at variable rates (1.90% as of August 3, 2013 based on the 7-day LIBOR rate plus the applicable spread as of such date). The Company had $0.7 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility (excluding the face amount of letters of credit issued thereunder) as of February 2, 2013. The face amount of letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility as of both August 3, 2013 and February 2, 2013 was $7.5 million. The maximum and average outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility (excluding the face amount of letters of credit issued thereunder) during the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 were $62.6 million and $45.8 million, respectively.

During fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, the Company acquired and constructed certain warehouse and distribution facilities with the proceeds of loans made pursuant to an industrial development revenue bond (the “Bond”). As of August 3, 2013 and February 2, 2013, there was $4.9 million, respectively, outstanding under the Bond, which bears interest at a variable rate. The interest rate on the Bond was 1.20% and 1.25% at August 3, 2013 and February 2, 2013, respectively. The bond is held by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Bond Agreement dated June 30, 2011, the Company’s subsidiary, American Wholesale Book Company, Inc. (“American Wholesale”), and Wells Fargo agreed, among other things, (i) to extend the period during which Wells Fargo will hold the Bond until March 13, 2016, (ii) to replace the original guaranty with a new Continuing Guaranty executed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including booksamillion.com, inc. and BAM Card Services, LLC, which obligation provides a maximum liability of $5,880,000 for the Company and its affiliates, jointly and severally, and (iii) that American Wholesale will maintain a standby letter of credit equal at all times to at least the outstanding principal amount of the Bond, which was $4.9 million and included in the aggregate letters of credit mentioned above as of August 3, 2013, for the benefit of Wells Fargo. The Company is obligated to repurchase the Bond on March 13, 2016 unless Wells Fargo exercises the option to extend the Bond’s maturity date up to December 1, 2019.

On July 18, 2013, the Company, through its subsidiary PGP Florence, LLC (“PGP Florence”) entered into a $12.6 million loan agreement with Protective Life Insurance Company for the purpose of financing its real estate development and leasing operations. The loan matures on August 1, 2033 and bears a fixed interest rate of 4.0%. The Company is required to make periodic payment of principal and interest over the term of the loan. The loan is secured by PGP Florence’s real estate property, the Renaissance City Center. The loan agreement contains certain non-financial covenants. As of August 3, 2013, the outstanding balance of the loan was $12.6 million of which $0.3 million is classified as short term.

  10. Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years prior to fiscal 2011. With respect to state and local jurisdictions, with limited exceptions, the Company and its subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax audits for fiscal years prior to fiscal 2010.

As of August 3, 2013, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertain tax positions was $0.8 million, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including estimated interest and penalties, that would no longer need to be accrued due to the passage of various statutes of limitations in the next 12 months is $0.3 million. The Company recognizes accrued estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had approximately $0.4 million in estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits accrued as of both August 3, 2013 and February 2, 2013. The Company’s total liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including estimated interest and penalties, as of August 3, 2013 and February 2, 2013, was $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

The methodology for calculation of income tax rates in interim periods is described in ASC 740-270. In general, ASC 740-270 requires an entity to compute the interim income tax rate based on an estimate of the annual effective tax rate. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets are presented net of the deferred tax liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 3, 2013 includes a gross deferred tax asset of $64.5 million, including $35 million related to a carryforward for state net operating losses. The consolidated group is expected to be in a cumulative loss position for the current fiscal year based on the aggregate pre-tax book income/(loss) for the last three reporting periods, including the current reporting period. The Company has concluded, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, that all but $5.3 million of these tax benefits relating to certain state losses and other deferred tax assets is expected more likely than not to be realized in the future. Therefore, a cumulative valuation allowance of $5.3 million is expected to be established for the current fiscal year. These conclusions resulted in an increase to income tax expense of $7.3 million in the twenty-six week period ended August 3, 2013. The Company will continue to assess the amount of the valuation allowance in the future.

 

  11. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments reported on the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities, excluding our short-term borrowings consisting of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility as discussed below, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

At August 3, 2013, there was $46.1 million outstanding under the Credit Facility (excluding the face amount of letters of credit issued under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), $12.6 million under the PGP Florence commercial real estate debt, $1.6 million related party debt, and $4.9 million outstanding under the Bond. Fair value approximates the carrying amount for the Credit Facility, the Bond, and the related party debt (excluding Yogurt Mountain portion) as the variable interest rates re-price frequently at observable current market rates, and as such their fair values are categorized as a level 2 (quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active) within the fair value hierarchy. The PGP Florence commercial real estate debt had a fair value of $11.7 million at August 3, 2013. The estimated fair value is based on similar transactions and yields in an active market for similarly rated debt, thus categorized as a level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company has determined that the carrying value of the Yogurt Mountain related party debt approximates fair value based on the short maturity of the note outstanding.

 

  12. Gift Card Revenue Recognition

The Company sells gift cards to its customers in its retail stores. The gift cards do not have an expiration date. Income is recognized from gift cards when: (1) the gift card is redeemed by the customer; or (2) the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote based on historical trends (gift card breakage) and there is no legal obligation to remit the value of the unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions. The gift card breakage rate is determined based upon historical redemption patterns. Based on this historical information, the likelihood of a gift card remaining unredeemed can be determined after 24 months of card inactivity. At that time, breakage income is recognized for those cards for which the likelihood of redemption is deemed to be remote and

for which there is no legal obligation to remit the value of such unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions. Breakage income for the thirteen week periods ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012 was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Breakage income for both of the twenty-six week periods ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012 was $0.4 million.

 

  13. Equity Method Investments

The Company holds a 25% equity method investment in IF. IF is an established trade gift supplier of innovative gifts and book accessories to retailers in over 70 countries worldwide. The Company acquired its interest in IF for $1.8 million in April 2013. IF is a separate and distinct legal entity from the Company and its subsidiaries and has separate assets, liabilities, and operations. The other ownership interests in IF of 45% and 30% are owned by Anco Far East Importers, Ltd., an affiliate of the Company through common ownership, and the principals of the acquired company, respectively.

At February 2, 2013, the Company held an equity method investment in Yogurt Mountain, which consisted of a 40.0% equity interest in Yogurt Mountain. Yogurt Mountain was formed for the purpose of developing and operating retail yogurt stores and franchising retail yogurt stores to third party franchisees. In March 2010, the Company acquired its equity interest in Yogurt Mountain for $3.0 million. During the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013, the Company increased its ownership percentage of Yogurt Mountain to 50%, and as a result, gained a controlling interest in Yogurt Mountain. The Company therefore ceased accounting for Yogurt Mountain under the equity method of accounting and has consolidated Yogurt Mountain at August 3, 2013.

 

  14. Variable Interest Entities

The Company increased its ownership percentage in Yogurt Mountain during the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013 from 40% to 50%, with the remaining 50% ownership held by APCP, an affiliate of the Company through common ownership. The Company’s investment in Yogurt Mountain was previously accounted for as an equity method investment. The Company applied ASC 810-10 and determined that Yogurt Mountain was a variable interest entity (“VIE”). An enterprise must consolidate a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. As a result of the increase in the Company’s ownership of Yogurt Mountain, the Company determined that both the Company and APCP hold an equal 50% interest in Yogurt Mountain and that both parties equally share in the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. However, the existence of the related party relationship between the Company and APCP required the Company to evaluate which entity was more closely associated with Yogurt Mountain. The Company determined that, due to the similarity of its business with that of Yogurt Mountain’s, as well as its involvement with the management of the business that the Company was more closely associated with Yogurt Mountain than APCP and, therefore, was required to consolidate Yogurt Mountain. The Company’s investment in Yogurt Mountain, plus any loans and guarantees related to Yogurt Mountain, totaled approximately $2.9 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, representing the Company’s maximum exposures to loss. The assets and liabilities of Yogurt Mountain were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Creditors of Yogurt Mountain do not have recourse against the general credit of the Company.

 

  15. Subsequent Events

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013, the Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to August 3, 2013 to determine whether any of these events required disclosure in the financial statements. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events that would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

General

The Company, founded in 1917, is principally a retailer of books, media and general merchandise through both its physical operations and its online store, Booksamillion.com. As of August 3, 2013, the Company operated 255 retail book stores, including 199 superstores, concentrated in the eastern United States. Also included in the Company’s retail operations is the operation of Yogurt Mountain Holding, LLC, a retailer and franchisor of self-serve frozen yogurt stores totaling 44 locations. The Company also develops and manages commercial retail real estate. Currently the Company owns and operates two shopping centers located in Florence, Alabama and Gardendale, Alabama, respectively, comprised of a total of 254,000 square feet.

The Company has three reportable operating segments: retail trade; electronic commerce trade; and real estate development and management. The Company previously reported two operating segments, retail trade and electronic commerce, however due to the expansion of its real estate development and management operations, the Company has now included its real estate segment as a reportable segment along with the retail trade and electronic commerce segments. Prior periods have been updated to reflect this change in reportable segments.

Our strategy consists of expanding product offerings and opening stores in new and existing market areas. In addition to opening new stores, management intends to continue its practice of reviewing the profitability trends and prospects of existing stores and closing or relocating under-performing stores or converting stores to different formats. From July 28, 2012 to August 3, 2013, we opened 9 stores, closed 11 stores, converted 2 stores and relocated 3 stores, decreasing our store count from 257 to 255.

Comparable store sales are determined each fiscal quarter during the year based on all stores that have been open at least 12 full fiscal months as of the first day of the fiscal quarter. Any stores closed during a fiscal quarter are included in comparable store sales until they close. Remodeled and relocated stores are also included as comparable stores. The factors affecting the future trend of comparable store sales include, among others, overall demand for products that the Company sells and the Company’s marketing programs, pricing strategies, store operations and competition.

The Company’s business, like that of many retailers, is seasonal, with a large portion of sales and operating profit realized during the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season.

The changes by segments were as follows:

 

   

Retail trade revenue for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013 decreased $10.4 million, or 8.9%, to $106.5 million from $116.9 million during the same period a year ago and accounted for 97.6% of the Company’s total revenue. The decrease resulted from lower comparable store sales and less sales from closed stores, offset by a net increase in sales from new stores. Comparable store sales for the retail trade segment for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013 decreased 11.1% when compared to the same thirteen week period for the prior year. The decrease in comparable store sales for the thirteen week period ended August 3, 2013 was due to decreased sales in certain book categories. Retail trade revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 decreased $18.7 million, or 8.2%, to $208.3 million from $227.0 million during the same period a year ago and accounted for 97.7% of the Company’s total revenue. The decrease resulted from lower comparable store sales and less sales from closed stores, offset by an increase in sales from new stores (as discussed above). Comparable store sales for the retail trade segment for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 decreased 8.6% when compared to the same twenty-six week period for the prior year. The decrease in comparable store sales for the twenty-six week period ended August 3, 2013 was due to decreased sales in certain book categories.

 

   

Electronic commerce trade revenue for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013 decreased $1.0 million, or 15.4%, to $5.6 million from $6.6 million during the same period a year ago and accounted for 5.1% of the Company’s total revenue. The decrease was due primarily to lower sales of eReader devices. Electronic commerce trade revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 decreased $1.7 million, or 13.2%, to $11.2 million from $12.9 million during the same period a year ago and accounted for 5.3% of the Company’s total revenue.

Real estate development and management revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 increased $0.7 million, or 456.8%, to $0.8 million from $0.1 million during the same period a year ago and accounted for 0.4% of the Company’s total revenue. The increase during both of these periods was primarily due to an increase in the number of tenants in the Company’s shopping center in Florence, Alabama as well as an increase in revenue due to the Company’s purchase of a shopping center in Gardendale, Alabama during the second quarter of the current year.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 5.9% to $8.7 million in the twenty-six week period ended August 3, 2013 compared to the twenty-six week period ended July 28, 2012, primarily due to the impact of the capital invested in new stores in fiscal 2013.

Income tax expense was $6.1 million, or 5.5% of net revenue, for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.6 million, or (0.5)% of net revenue, in the same period last year. Income tax expense was $4.0 million, or 1.9% of net revenue, for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, compared to an income tax benefit of $1.4 million, or (0.6)% of net revenue, in the same period last year. The increase in income tax expense for both the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 3, 2013 was due to the recording of a non-cash valuation allowance related to the realizability of deferred tax assets and the reversal of related first quarter fiscal 2014 tax benefits. These adjustments were required by ASC 740 as the consolidated group is expected to be in a cumulative loss position for the current fiscal year, and resulted in approximately $7.3 million of additional income tax expense than would have been recorded otherwise.

As a result of the factors discussed above, the Company reported consolidated net loss from continuing operations of $9.0 million, or (8.2)% of net revenue, for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013, compared to $0.9 million, or (0.7)% of net revenue, in the same period last year. The Company reported consolidated net loss of $12.6 million, or (5.9)% of net revenue, for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, compared to $2.8 million, or (1.2)% of net revenue, in the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, including credit terms from vendors, and borrowings under our Credit Facility, as described in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The maximum and average outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility (excluding the face amount of letters of credit issued thereunder) during the twenty-six week period ended August 3, 2013 were $62.6 million and $45.8 million, respectively.

Cash Flows

Operating activities used cash of $30.2 million and $23.6 million in the twenty-six week periods ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively, and included the following:

 

   

Cash used in operations was significantly impacted by the $4.5 million increase in operating loss to $7.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 compared to $3.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to lower comparable store sales offset by lower operating expenses.

 

   

Cash used in trade and related party accounts payable in the twenty-six week period ended August 3, 2013 was $23.5 million, compared to $25.0 million in the twenty-six week period ended July 28, 2012. The change from the prior year was primarily the result of the timing of payment for inventory added for new and converted stores during the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013.

 

   

Cash used by accrued expenses and deferred rent was $4.4 million in the twenty-six week period ended August 3, 2013, compared to $1.8 million in the prior year. The change from the prior year was primarily the result of the timing of payments related to payroll and capital expenditures.

Cash used in investing activities reflected a $20.7 million and $10.7 million net use of cash for the twenty-six week periods ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. Such activity related primarily to capital expenditures due to the acquisition of real commercial property, the opening of new stores, the remodeling of existing stores and other improvements. In addition, $1.1 million was used in the twenty-six week period ended August 3, 2013 to fund the purchase of corporate office space that had previously been leased, and $1.8 million was spent for the acquisition of a minority interest in That Company Called IF (see Note 13, Equity Method Investments).

Cash flows from financing activities generally consist of borrowings and repayments related to our short-term and long-term debt. Financing activities provided cash of $56.7 million and $29.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. The change from the prior year was due to an increase in short-term borrowings (net of repayments) and proceeds from debt issued to finance the purchase of real commercial property, slightly offset by the purchase of treasury stock pursuant to the 2012 Repurchase Program (see Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds).

Financial Position

Inventory balances were $202.8 million as of August 3, 2013, compared to $201.5 million as of February 2, 2013. The inventory increase of 0.6% was primarily due to seasonal fluctuations in inventory. Trade and related party accounts payable balances were $76.6 million as of August 3, 2013, compared to $99.9 million as of February 2, 2013. The decrease in trade and related party accounts payable was due to timing of payments for inventory. Accrued expenses were $35.3 million as of August 3, 2013, compared to $40.4 million as of February 2, 2013. The decrease in accrued expenses was due to a reduction in gift card liability, advertising expense, capital expenditures and sales tax expense.

Guarantees

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

The nature and terms of these types of indemnities vary. The events or circumstances that would require the Company to perform under these indemnities are transaction and circumstance specific. The overall maximum amount of possible obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant costs related to performance under these types of indemnities. No liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Company’s balance sheet at August 3, 2013 or February 2, 2013, as such potential liabilities were considered not probable at such dates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We are committed to maintaining disclosure controls and procedures 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Chief Financial Officer and the Board of Directors, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures and implementing controls and procedures based on the application of management’s judgment.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and President (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon their evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Company’s management concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities and migrating processes.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013 other than the following additional factor identified as a result of the expansion of the Company’s real estate development and management segment.

Within the Company’s real estate development and management segment, the Company is subject to various changes in real estate conditions, particularly in the areas where our properties are located. Any negative trend in those conditions may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations through decreased revenues or increased costs.
