NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

Note 1 — Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 due to seasonal and other factors.

 

The Company’s quarterly results may experience seasonal fluctuations. Due to the Company’s expansion into non-floral products, the Thanksgiving through Christmas holiday season, which falls within the Company’s second fiscal quarter, generates the highest proportion of the Company’s annual revenues. Additionally, as the result of a number of major floral gifting occasions, including Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and Administrative Professionals Week, revenues also rise during the Company’s fiscal third and fourth quarter.  The Easter Holiday, which was in the Company’s fourth quarter during fiscal 2012, will fall in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

 

Accordingly, the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated 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.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (ASU No. 2011-08) which is intended to reduce the complexity and costs to test goodwill for impairment. The amendment allows an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The ASU also expands upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The amendment is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05), which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 in its first quarter of fiscal year 2013 by including the required disclosures in two separate but consecutive statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU No. 2012-02”), which allows entities to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU No. 2012-02 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative impairment test is not required. ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Basic net income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares (consisting of employee stock options and unvested restricted stock awards) outstanding during the period.

 

(1)         The effect of options to purchase 3.1 million and 3.4 million shares during the three and six months ended December 30, 2012 and 7.1 million and 6.7 million shares during the three and six months ended January 1, 2012, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of net income per share on a diluted basis as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Note 4 — Acquisitions and Dispositions

 

Sale and Franchise of Fannie May Retail Stores

 

On November 21, 2011, the Company and GB Chocolates LLC (GB Chocolates) entered into an agreement whereby the Company sold 17 existing Fannie May stores, to be operated as franchised locations by GB Chocolates, for $5.6 million, recognizing a gain on the sale of $3.8 million.  Upon completion of the sale, the Company also recognized initial franchise fees associated with these 17 stores in the amount of $0.5 million. In conjunction with the sale of stores, the Company and GB Chocolates entered into an area development agreement whereby GB Chocolates will open a minimum of 45 new Fannie May franchise stores by December 2014.  The agreement provides exclusive development rights for several Midwestern states, as well as specific cities in Florida and Ohio. The terms of the agreement include a non-refundable area development fee of $0.9 million, store opening fees of $0.5 million, assuming successful opening of 45 stores, and a non-performance promissory note in the amount of $1.2 million, which becomes due and payable only if GB Chocolates does not open all 45 stores as set forth in the development agreement.  The Company has deferred recognition of $0.7 million, of the original $0.9 million area development fee associated with the 45 store area development agreement, based upon the number of stores opened by GB Chocolates as of December 30, 2012. The Company will recognize the remaining deferred revenue of $0.7 million on a pro-rata basis, when the conditions for revenue recognition under the area development agreement are met. Both store opening fees and area development fees are generally recognized upon the opening of a franchise store, or upon termination of the agreement between the Company and the franchisee. The Company recognized approximately $0.2 million, of the $1.2 million promissory note in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, based upon its assessment of the likelihood that the performance criteria under the agreement will be achieved.  The fair value of the promissory note is impacted by estimates relating to the possibility that GB Chocolates opening 45 stores, discounted for present value, and the risk associated with counterparty payment. Changes in these assumptions could result in an increase or decrease in fair value which would impact the income statement. There were no significant changes in these estimates through the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

 

Acquisition of Flowerama

 

On August 1, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Flowerama of America, Inc. (Flowerama), a franchisor and operator of retail flower shops under the Flowerama trademark, with annual revenue of approximately $6.1 million and annual operating income of $0.1 million in its most recent year end prior to acquisition.  The purchase price, which included the acquisition of receivables, inventory, eight retail store locations and certain other assets and related liabilities, was approximately $4.3 million. Of the acquired intangible assets, $2.1 million was assigned to amortizable investment in licenses, which is being amortized over the estimated useful life of 20 years, based upon the estimated remaining life of the franchise agreements. Approximately $2.4 million of purchase price was assigned to goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes. The acquisition was financed utilizing available cash balances. Flowerama’s net revenues were $1.3 and $2.5 million during the three and six months ended December 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $1.3 and $2.1 million during the three and six months ended January 1, 2012, respectively, and its loss before income taxes was $0.1 million and $0.0 million during the three and six months ended December 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $0.0 for both the three and six months ended January 1, 2012, respectively.

Pro forma Results of Operation

 

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information has been prepared as if the acquisition of Flowerama had taken place at the beginning of fiscal year 2012. The pro forma information has been adjusted to give effect to items that are directly attributable to the transactions and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The adjustments primarily include amortization expense associated with acquired identifiable intangible assets. This information has not been adjusted to reflect any changes in the operations of the businesses subsequent to its acquisition by the Company. Changes in operations of the acquired businesses include, but are not limited to, discontinuation of products, integration of systems and personnel, changes in manufacturing processes or locations, and changes in marketing and advertising programs. Had any of these changes been implemented by the former managements of the business acquired prior to acquisition by the Company, the sales and net income information might have been materially different than the actual results achieved and from the pro forma information provided. The following unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future periods or results that would have been achieved had the acquisitions taken place at the beginning of the periods presented.

Future estimated amortization expense is as follows: remainder of fiscal 2013 - $0.9 million, fiscal 2014 - $1.4 million, fiscal 2015 - $1.3 million, fiscal 2016 - $1.2 million, fiscal 2017 - $0.7 million and thereafter - $2.0 million.

 

Note 7 — Investments

 

Investments are accounted for using the equity method if the investment provides the Company the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s Board of Directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method is appropriate. The Company records these investments initially at cost, and adjusts the carrying amount to reflect the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee, including all adjustments similar to those made in preparing consolidated financial statements. The book value of investments that the Company accounted for under the equity method of accounting was $3.7 million as of December 30, 2012 and $3.6 million as of July 1, 2012. This amount is comprised of the Company’s 32% interest in Flores Online, a Sao Paulo, Brazil based internet floral and gift retailer, that the Company made an investment in on May 31, 2012, and is included in Other assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Operating results of Flores Online for the three and six months ended December 30, 2012, in the amount of $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, are included within the Consolidated Statement of Operations within the line item “Interest expense, net.”

 

All other equity investments, which consist of investments for which the Company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the cost method as they are privately held. Cost method investments are originally recorded at cost, and are included within Other Assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate carrying amount of the Company’s cost method investments was $2.8 million as of December 30, 2012 and $1.7 million as of July 1, 2012. In addition, the Company had notes receivable from a company it maintains an investment in of $1.0 million as of December 30, 2012 and $0.9 million as of July 1, 2012.

 

The Company holds certain trading securities associated with its Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC Plan”) whose fair values can be readily determined.

 

Each reporting period, the Company uses available qualitative and quantitative information to evaluate its investments for impairment.

(1)               On April 14, 2009, the Company amended its 2008 Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a group of lenders (the “Amended 2008 Credit Facility”). The Amended 2008 Credit Facility provided for term loan debt of $92.4 million and a seasonally adjusted revolving credit line ranging from $75.0 to $125.0 million. The Amended 2008 Credit Facility, effective March 28, 2009, also revised certain financial and non-financial covenants.

 

On April 16, 2010, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2010 Credit Facility”). The 2010 Credit Facility included a prepayment of approximately $12.1 million, comprised primarily of the proceeds from the sale of the Home & Children’s Gifts segment in January 2010, and thereby reducing the Company’s outstanding term loan under the facility to $60 million upon closing.  The term loan, which matures on March 30, 2014, is payable in sixteen quarterly installments of principal and interest beginning in June 2010, with escalating principal payments at the rate of 20% in year one, 25% in years two and three and 30% in year four.

 

In addition, the 2010 Credit Facility extended the Company’s revolving credit line through April 16, 2014, and reduced available borrowings from a seasonally adjusted limit which ranged from $75.0 million to $125.0 million to a seasonally adjusted limit ranging from $40.0 to $75.0 million. The 2010 Credit Facility also revised certain financial and non-financial covenants, including maintenance of certain financial ratios. The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the 2010 Credit Facility are secured by liens on all personal property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

 

Outstanding amounts under the 2010 Credit Facility bear interest at the Company’s option of either: (i) LIBOR plus a defined margin, or (ii) the agent bank’s prime rate plus a margin. The applicable margins for the Company’s term loans and revolving credit facility range from 3.00% to 3.75% for LIBOR loans and 2.00% to 2.75% for ABR loans with pricing based upon the Company’s leverage ratio.

 

The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes, but rather to hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company manages its floating rate debt using interest rate swaps in order to reduce its exposure to the impact of changing interest rates on its consolidated results of operations and future cash outflows for interest.

 

In July 2009, the Company entered into a $45.0 million notional amount swap agreement that exchanges a variable interest rate (LIBOR) for a 1.92% fixed rate of interest over the term of the agreement. This swap matured on July 25, 2012. The Company designated this swap as a cash flow hedge of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest (LIBOR) payments at inception. The effective portion of the after tax fair value gains or losses on this swap is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The ineffective portion, if any, is recorded within interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

Note 9-Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured and recorded at fair value, except for the Company’s investments in certain privately-held companies, which are accounted for under the cost method of accounting and are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment, when an event or circumstances indicate that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at cost and are assessed for impairment when an event or circumstances indicate that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred.   Goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present, as required under the accounting standards.

 

Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Although no trading market exists, the Company believes that the carrying amount of its debt approximates fair value, due to its variable nature.

 

The authoritative guidance for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the guidance are described below:

 

Level 1

 

Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

 

 

 

Level 2

 

Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

Level 3

 

Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The following table presents by level, within the fair value hierarchy, assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 30, 2012:

(1)         Trading securities held in a rabbi trust are included in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets (Note 14 — Employee Retirement Plans, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K).  The Company established a Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for certain members of senior management in fiscal 2009. Deferred compensation is invested in mutual funds held in a “rabbi trust” and is restricted for payment to participants of the NQDC Plan.

(2)         Refer to Note 4. Acquisitions and Dispositions — Sale and Franchise of Fannie May Retail Stores. Included in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheet

(3)         Included in Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Note 10 — Income Taxes

 

At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. This estimate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods. The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and six months ended December 30, 2012 was 37.1% and 39.0%, respectively, compared to 39.8% and 39.7% in same periods of the prior year.  The forecasted effective rates for fiscal 2013 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, permanent differences and a change in uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal year 2011. The IRS has concluded its federal examination for its fiscal years 2007 through 2009, while Fiscal 2010 remains subject to federal examination. Due to non-conformity with the federal statute of limitations for assessment, certain states remain open from fiscal 2008.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. At December 30, 2012 the Company has an unrecognized tax position of approximately $0.9 million, including accrued interest and penalties of $0.2 million. During the quarter, the Company recorded a gross unrecognized tax position of $0.6 million. The Company believes that approximately $0.6 million of its unrecognized tax positions will be resolved over the next twelve months.

(*) Segment performance is measured based on contribution margin, which includes only the direct controllable revenue and operating expenses of the segments. As such, management’s measure of profitability for these segments does not include corporate overhead, which includes stock-based compensation, (see footnote (**) below), depreciation and amortization, net interest expense and income taxes. Assets and liabilities are reviewed at the consolidated level by management and are not accounted for by segment.

(**) The Company’s enterprise shared service cost centers include, among other items, Information Technology, Human Resources, Accounting and Finance, Legal, Executive and Customer Service Center functions.  In order to leverage the Company’s infrastructure, these functions are operated under a centralized management platform, providing support services throughout the organization. The costs of these functions, other than those of the Customer Service Center, which are allocated directly to the above segments based upon usage, are included within corporate expenses, which include stock-based compensation, as they are not directly allocable to a specific segment.

(***) GFGB segment contribution margin during the three and six months ended January 1, 2012 includes a $3.8 million gain on the sale of 17 Fannie May stores, which are being operated as franchised locations post-sale.

Note 12-Discontinued Operations

 

On September 6, 2011, the Company, through its subsidiary The Winetasting Network, completed the sale of certain assets of its wine fulfillment services business in order to focus on its core Direct-to-Consumer wine business. The sales price consisted of $12.0 million of cash proceeds at closing, with the potential for an additional $1.5 million upon achieving specified revenue targets during the two year period following the closing date. (Based upon preliminary revenue reports provided by the buyer, the first annual specified revenue target was not achieved.)

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.

 

On November 10, 2010, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York naming the Company (along with Trilegiant Corporation, Inc., Affinion, Inc. and Chase Bank USA, N.A.) as defendants in an action purporting to assert claims against the Company alleging violations arising under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act among other statutes, and for breach of contract and unjust enrichment in connection with certain post-transaction marketing practices in which certain of the Company’s subsidiaries previously engaged in with certain third-party vendors.  On December 23, 2011, plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal seeking to dismiss the entire action without prejudice.  The court entered an Order on November 28, 2012, dismissing the case in its entirety.

 

On March 6, 2012 and March 15, 2012, two additional purported class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut naming the Company and numerous other parties as defendants in actions purporting to assert claims substantially similar to those asserted in the lawsuit filed on November 10, 2010.  In each case, plaintiffs seek to have the respective case certified as a class action and seek restitution and other damages, each in an amount in excess of $5.0 million. On April 26, 2012, the two Connecticut cases were consolidated with a third case previously pending in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in which the Company is not a party. A consolidated amended complaint was filed by plaintiffs on September 7, 2012, purporting to assert claims substantially similar to those originally asserted.  The Company moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on December 7, 2012.

On December 5, 2012, the same plaintiff from the action voluntarily dismissed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut naming the Company and numerous other parties as defendants, purporting to assert claims substantially similar to those asserted in the consolidated amended complaint.  On January 23, 2013, plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a motion to transfer and consolidate the action filed on December 5, 2012 with the consolidated action.  The Company intends to defend each of these actions vigorously.

 

There are no assurances that additional legal actions will not be instituted in connection with the Company’s former post-transaction marketing practices involving third party vendors nor can we predict the outcome of any such legal action. At this time, we are unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss for the aforementioned actions for various reasons, including, among others: (i) the damages sought are indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the very early stages and the court has not yet ruled as to whether the classes will be certified, and (iii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending motions.  As a result of the foregoing, we have determined that the amount of possible loss or range of loss is not reasonably estimable.  However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which may be beyond our control.
