NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.	BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted. See the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended February 2, 2019 for Destination Maternity Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Destination Maternity”) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for additional disclosures, including a summary of the Company’s accounting policies.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Since the Company’s operations are seasonal, the interim operating results of the Company may not be indicative of operating results for the full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest January 31 of each year. References to the Company’s fiscal 2019 refer to the 52-week fiscal year, or periods within such fiscal year, which began February 3, 2019 and will end February 1, 2020. References to the Company’s fiscal 2018 refer to the 52-week fiscal year, or periods within such fiscal year, which began February 4, 2018 and ended February 2, 2019.

2.	EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

Basic net income per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding restricted stock awards for which the restrictions have not lapsed. Diluted net income per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, after giving effect to the potential dilution, if applicable, from the assumed lapse of restrictions on restricted stock and restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards, and from shares of common stock resulting from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options. Common shares issuable in connection with the award of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) are excluded from the calculation of EPS until the PRSUs’ performance conditions are achieved and the shares in respect of the PRSUs become issuable (see Note 14).

The following tables summarize the Basic EPS and Diluted EPS calculations (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	May 4, 2019						May 5, 2018
	Net Income		Shares		EPS		Net Income		Shares		EPS

Basic EPS	$	130		13,825	$	0.01	$	214		13,839	$	0.02
Incremental shares from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options		—		—		—		—		—		—
Incremental shares from the assumed lapse of restrictions on restricted stock and RSU awards		—		76		—		—		124		—
Diluted EPS	$	130		13,901	$	0.01	$	214		13,963	$	0.02

Stock options and unvested restricted stock totaling 959,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding as of May 4, 2019, of which 610,000 shares were excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as the effect would have been antidilutive.

3.	TRADE RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables are recorded based on revenue recognized for sales of the Company’s merchandise and for other revenue earned by the Company through its marketing partnership programs and international franchise agreements, and are non-interest bearing. The Company evaluates the collectability of trade receivables based on a combination of factors, including aging of trade receivables, write-off experience, analysis of historical trends and expectations of future performance. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for the amount of trade receivables that are considered unlikely to be collected. When the Company’s collection efforts are unsuccessful, uncollectible trade receivables are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of May 4, 2019 and February 2, 2019, the Company’s trade receivables were net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $166,000 and $166,000, respectively.

4.	INVENTORIES

6.	LINE OF CREDIT

After completion of a debt refinancing on February 1, 2018, the Company has in place a $50,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which was entered into in conjunction with the issuance of the Company’s $25,000,000 Term Loan (as defined below) (see Note 7). Proceeds from advances under the Credit Facility, subject to certain restrictions, may be used to provide financing for working capital, letters of credit, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes.

The Credit Facility , which matures on January 31, 2023, contains various affirmative and negative covenants and representations and warranties , including the requirement that the Company maintain Excess Availability (as defined in the related Credit Agreement) of more than the greater of 10% of the Combined Lo an Caps (as defined in the related Credit Agreement) and $7,000,000. In the event that the outstanding balance of the Term Loan exceeds the Term Loan Borrowing Base (as defined in the related Term Loan Agreement) , then a reserve will be imposed against ava ilability under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by a security interest in the Company’s trade receivables, inventory, letter of credit rights, cash, intangibles and certain other assets. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings is eq ual to, at the Company’s election, either 1) the lender’s base rate plus 0.50% or 2) a LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. The Company also pays an unused line fee under the Credit Facility of 0.25% per annum.

Any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately and all loan and letter of credit commitments thereunder may be terminated upon an event of default and expiration of any applicable cure period. Events of default include: 1) nonpayment of obligations due under the subject loan agreement and related loan documents, 2) cross-defaults to other indebtedness and documents, 3) failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in the subject loan agreement, 4) material misrepresentations, 5) failure to pay, or certain other defaults under, other material indebtedness of the Company, 6) certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, 7) a change of control, 8) indictments of the Company or senior management in a material forfeiture action, 9) default under certain material contracts to the extent such termination or default has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, and 10) customary ERISA defaults, among others.

In connection with the original execution and subsequent amendments of the Credit Facility, the Company has incurred deferred financing costs of $1,281,000. These deferred financing costs are being amortized over the term of the Credit Facility agreement and are included in “interest expense, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of May 4, 2019, the Company had $26,200,000 in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, $6,297,000 in letters of credit and $10,128,000 of availability based on the Company’s Borrowing Base formula and availability reserve requirements. As of May 5, 2018, the Company had $15,200,000 in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, $7,327,000 in letters of credit and $20,223,000 of availability. For the three months ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018 borrowings had a weighted interest rate of 4.53% and 3.60% per annum, respectively. During the three months ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018 the Company’s average levels of direct borrowings were $27,509,000 and $19,436,000, respectively, and the Company’s maximum borrowings were $32,300,000 and $27,400,000, respectively.

7.	LONG-TERM DEBT

On February 1, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), t he Company has entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) which provides for a term loan of up to $25,000,000 and matures on January 31, 2023 (the “Term Loan”). On the Closing Date, the Company borrowed $22,500,000. The Term Loan provided for an additional loan of $2,500,000, which could be borrowed at the Company’s discretion within a period of 45 days after delivery to the lender of the Company’s first quarter fiscal 2018 financial statements and satisfaction of certain other requirements. The Company met these requirements and borrowed the additional $2,500,000 on July 16, 2018.

The interest rate on the Term Loan is equal to a LIBOR rate plus 9.0%. The Company is required to make minimum repayments of the principal amount of the Term Loan in quarterly installments of $312,500 which commenced on July 31, 2018, with the remaining outstanding balance payable on the maturity date. There is a minimum excess availability requirement of the greater of 10% of the Combined Loan Cap, as defined in the Term Loan Agreement, or $7,000,000. Additionally, the Term Loan can be prepaid at the Company’s option subject to certain restrictions and subject to a prepayment premium as follows: 1) if the prepayment occurs on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the greater of a) interest on the prepayment that would otherwise have been paid with the 24 month period following the Closing Date minus actual interest payments made through the prepayment date and b) 2% of the prepayment and 2) 2% of the prepayment amount, if paid between the second and third anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Term Loan is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, letter of credit rights, cash, intellectual property and other intangibles, and certain other assets. Th e security interest granted to the Term Lenders is, in certain respects, subordinate to the security interest granted to the Credit Facility Lender. The Term Loan Agreement prohibits the payment of dividends or share repurchases by the Company for three ye ars and imposes certain restrictions on the Company ’ s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness and enter into other various types of transactions.

There were $2,455,000 of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the Term Loan. These deferred financing costs are reflected as a direct deduction from the Term Loan liability in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized over the term of the Term Loan Agreement. The amortization is included in “interest expense, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018, there was $23,750,000 and $22,500,000, respectively, of principal outstanding under the Term Loan.

On February 22, 2019, the Company entered into a 24-month, $1,802,000 software development financing arrangement. The note has monthly payments of $81,648 with an interest rate of 8.16%. As of May 4, 2019, there was $1,593,000 of principal outstanding.

As of May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018, there was $2,149,000 and $5,284,000, respectively, outstanding under a five-year equipment financing arrangement with the Company’s Credit Facility bank. The equipment note bears annual interest at 3.38%, with payments of $272,000 (including interest) due monthly through December 2019. The equipment note is collateralized by substantially all of the material handling equipment at the Company’s distribution facility in Florence, New Jersey. Any amounts outstanding under the equipment note may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately upon an event of default and expiration of any applicable cure period. The specified events of default are substantially the same as those in the Credit Facility agreement (see Note 6).

On June 6, 2017, the Company received $3,401,000 in proceeds from a three-year financing arrangement in the form of a sale and leaseback for certain furniture, fixtures and software. Monthly payments under the leaseback arrangement are $123,000 for the first 24 months and $48,000 for months 25 to 36. At the end of the leaseback term, the Company has the option to extend the lease for an additional year or to repurchase the financed property for a price to be agreed upon. As of May 4, 2019, and May 5, 2018, there was $1,114,000 and $2,287,000 of principal outstanding under this financing arrangement.

LEASES

The Company has entered into operating leases for all of its retail locations, distribution center and corporate office. Many of these leases include one or more renewal options which can extend the lease for up to an additional 15 years. In the event we are reasonably certain that an option to extend a lease will be exercised, we use the expected expiration date to determine the operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability. We also have short-term leases that can be terminated by the Company or by the landlord with notification periods as short as 30 days, which are excluded from the operating lease liability. Some of our leases provide for rental payments based solely on a percent of retail sales which are treated as variable lease expenses and not included as part of the operating lease liability. Most leases include payments for lease components such as minimum rent, non-lease components such as common area maintenance and not-lease components such as real estate taxes and insurance. Finance leases were not material as of May 4, 2019 and the three-month period then ended.

For the three months ended May 4, 2019, the components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands):


Fixed operating lease expense (1)	$	8,743
Variable operating lease expense		3,893
Total operating lease expense	$	12,636
(1) Includes short-term leases.

For the three months ended May 5, 2018, rent expense, including related occupancy costs such as insurance and maintenance paid to landlords, for non-cancellable operating leases amounted to $12.8 million.

9 .	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The accounting standard for fair value measurements defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value focused on exit price and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements as follows:

•

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

•

Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs or inputs that are corroborated by observable market data

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data

At both May 4, 2019 and February 2 , 201 9 , the Company had cash equivalents of $4,000. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of investments in money market funds for which the carrying value approximates fair value (based on Level 1 inputs) due to the sho rt-term nature of those instruments. The carrying values of trade receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

The Company’s Credit Facility has variable interest rates that are tied to market indices. As of May 4 , 2019 and February 2, 2019, the Company had $26,200,000 and $20,400,000 respectively, of direct borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. The carrying value of the Company’s Credit Facility borrowings approximates fair value as the variable interest rates approximate current market rates, which the Company considers to be Level 2 inputs.

The Company’s Term Loan, which represents a significant majority of the Company’s long-term debt, bears interest at variable rates, which adjust based on market conditions with a minimum annual rate of 9.00%. The carrying value of the Company’s Term Loan approximates fair value as the variable interest rates approximate current market rates for similar instruments available to companies with comparable credit quality, which the Company considers to be Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate equipment notes were determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates currently available to the Company, which the Company considers to be Level 2 inputs. The difference between the carrying value and fair value of long-term debt held by the Company with a fixed rate of interest is not material.

OTHER CHARGES

O ver the last several years the Company has engaged in a series of management and organizational changes and, in connection therewith, retained consulting firms to review its costs and business strategy associated with such management and organizational changes. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized changes to the Company’s chief executive function, including, most recently, the May 23, 2018 appointment of Marla Ryan as Chief Executive Officer, who replaced Melissa Payner-Gregor who had served as interim Chief Executive Officer since January 2, 2018. Ronald Masciantonio, the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer, resigned from his position on June 4, 2018. David Stern, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, departed the Company effective at the close of business on August 10, 2018. On January 19, 2019, Dave J. Helkey was appointed Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Company also paid one-time retention bonuses with service conditions to certain key management personnel which are being recorded over the service period, while reducing its overall headcount to create a more efficient and effective operating structure. During the three months ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018, the Company incurred $662,000 and $264,000, respectively, of charges related to these management and organizational changes.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company received notification from a stockholder group of their intent to nominate a slate of alternative nominees for election to the Company’s Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders that was held on May 23, 2018 (the “Proxy Solicitation”). At the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders the Company’s stockholders replaced the incumbent board in its entirety and elected Holly N. Alden, Christopher B. Morgan, Marla A Ryan and Anne-Charlotte Windal as the Company’s new Board of Directors . During the three months ended May 5, 2018, the Company incurred $886,000 of charges related to the Proxy Solicitation.

GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES

In fiscal 2015, the Company completed the relocation of its corporate headquarters and distribution operations from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to southern New Jersey. To partially offset the costs of these relocations, the Board of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (“NJEDA”) approved the Company for an incentive package of up to $40,000,000 in benefits under the Grow New Jersey Assistance Program (“Grow NJ”) in the form of transferrable income tax credits over a ten-year period from the State of New Jersey. The award provides annually over a ten-year period up to $7,000 per eligible new full-time job, as defined under Grow NJ, with a requirement that at least 100 eligible jobs be created and subject to an annual award limit of $4,000,000.

The Grow NJ award requires an annual compliance report that includes certification of average annual employment figures after the end of each fiscal year. After the end of the ten-year Grow NJ award earnings period there is a five-year compliance period during which the Company must maintain the average of its annual eligible jobs certified during the preceding ten years or a pro-rata amount up to one-tenth of the previously awarded income tax credits would be subject to recapture and repayment to the State of New Jersey annually during the five-year compliance period. The Company believes the likelihood of any recapture and repayment is remote.

The annual benefit from the Grow NJ award available to the Company is expected to significantly exceed the Company’s annual income tax liability to the State of New Jersey. In order to maximize the realizable value of the incentive package, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to sell up to 100% of the annual income tax credits awarded to the Company. The Company recognizes its Grow NJ award on an annual basis for each fiscal year based on the realizable value of the award earned and expected to be received, primarily from the sale of the income tax credits, net of any associated costs. The Grow NJ award is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a reduction to the costs incurred by the Company in connection with the relocations. The expected realizable amount of the Grow NJ award is included in the consolidated balance sheet in deferred income taxes. As of May 4, 2019, the Company had recorded a deferred tax asset of $3,314,000 related to the NJ Grow award. Of this amount, $2,671,000 relates to the annual award earned in fiscal 2018, the cash proceeds of which are expected to be received during fiscal 2019. In December 2018, the Company received $2,829,000 cash proceeds, net of costs, from the receipt and subsequent sale of the tax credit certificate earned for fiscal 2017. During the three months ended May 4, 2019, the Company recognized a cost reduction related to the Grow NJ award in the amount of $617,000, as compared to the three months ended May 5, 2018 in which the Company recognized $710,000.

1 3 .

INCOME TAXES

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes , requires that a valuation allowance be recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In situations where a three-year cumulative loss condition exists, accounting standards limit the ability to consider projections of future results as positive evidence to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets. In fiscal 2016 the Company’s financial results reflected a three-year cumulative loss and consequently, in fiscal 2016 the Company recorded a non-cash charge as a valuation allowance against substantially all of its deferred tax assets. Three-year cumulative losses have continued since fiscal 2016, and the Company continues to record a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

1 4 .

EQUITY AWARD PLANS

In January 2006, the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) and, subsequently, have approved amendments to increase the number of issuable shares under the 2005 Plan. Under the 2005 Plan, employees, directors, consultants and other individuals who provide services to the Company may be granted awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs or deferred stock units. Up to 3,550,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued in respect of awards under the 2005 Plan, as amended, with no more than 2,250,000 of those shares permitted to be issued in respect of restricted stock, RSUs, or deferred stock units granted under the 2005 Plan. Awards of stock options to purchase the Company’s common stock will have exercise prices as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors but such exercise prices may not be lower than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.

No stock options have been granted by the Company with an exercise price less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant for any of the periods presented. The majority of the stock options issued under the 2005 Plan vest

ra tably over four-year periods and generally expire ten years from the date of grant , and r estricted stock and time-based RSU awards issued under the 2005 Plan generally have restrictions that lapse ratably over periods ranging from one to four years however , awards with respect to up to 177,500 shares of our common stock may be granted under the 2005 Plan with a vesting period of less than one year . Performance-based awards issued under the 2005 Plan generally vest based upon the achievement of pre-established performance goals over a specified three-year period. The number of shares of our common stock that may be earned in respect of performance-b ased awards may be greater or less than the target number of shares granted based on the actual performance achieved. The non-executive chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors is granted 6,000 shares of restricted stock on an annual bas i s and each non -employee director, other than the non-executive chairman, and Christopher B. Morgan, of the Company’s Board of Directors is eligible for a grant of 4,000 shares of restricted stock on an annual basis, in each case that will generally vest one year from th e date of grant. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of vested stock options. As of May 4 , 201 9 , there were 8 34,231 shares of the Company’s common stock available for grant s of awards under the 2005 Plan .

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT S

Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), referred to hereafter as ASC 842 . ASC 842 affects any entity that enters into a lease, as that term is defined, and its guidance supersedes Topic 840, Leases . As it substantively relates to the Company, ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the consolidated balance sheet.

On February 3, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method for all lease arrangements in effect at the beginning of the period of adoption. Results for periods beginning February 3, 2019 are presented under ASC 842, and prior period amounts were not restated and continue to be reported under the Company’s historical method of lease accounting, ASC 840, Leases. Adoption of ASC 842 had a material impact of the Company’s balance sheet as the result of recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. There was no material impact to our consolidated statement of operations or cash flows and there was no impact to covenant compliance under our current debt agreements. Accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. For leases that commenced prior to the effective date of ASC 842 the Company adopted practical expedients that allowed for retention of its previous assessment of the following: (i) whether a contract contained a lease, (ii) lease classification and (iii) initial direct costs. The Company also elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less and to account for leases which have both lease and non-lease components as a single component.

At the date of adoption, the Company recorded operating lease ROU assets of $135 million, operating lease liabilities of $159 million, primarily related to its retail real estate, distribution center and corporate office and a $2.6 million adjustment to accumulated deficit resulting from the impairment of certain operating lease ROU assets. Refer to Note 8. Leases for additional disclosures required by ASC 842.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement of the lease based on the net present value of the fixed lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. ROU assets include prepaid lease payments, lease incentives received and capitalized lease costs. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense, while the expense for finance leases is recognized as depreciation and interest expense over the lease term.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract . ASU 2018-15 requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the non-cancellable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 effective February 3, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company is named as a defendant in legal actions arising from normal business activities. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and although the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to currently pending actions cannot be accurately predicted, the Company does not believe that the resolution of any pending action will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company has recently gained access to inspect inventory subject to a potential loss that occurred while the inventory was in transit to the Company’s distribution center. While still in the process of evaluating the inventory, the Company believes that it has insurance coverage in place to cover any potential loss, should such a loss occur.

SEGMENT AND ENTERPRISE WIDE DISCLOSURES

Operating Segment . For purposes of the disclosure requirements for segments of a business enterprise, the Company has determined that its business is comprised of one operating segment: the design, manufacture and sale of maternity apparel and related accessories. While the Company offers a wide range of products for sale, the substantial portion of its products are initially distributed through the same distribution facilities, many of the Company’s products are manufactured at common contract manufacturer production facilities, the Company’s products are marketed through a common marketing department, and these products are sold to a similar customer base consisting of expectant mothers.

Geographic Information . Geographic revenue information is allocated based on the country in which the products or services are sold, and in the case of international franchise revenues, on the location of the customer.

Presentation of Financial Information

Comparable sales figures represent sales at retail locations (which does not include licensed brand or international franchise relationships) that have been in operation by us for at least 13 full months, as well as Internet sales. Our comparable sales figures generally do not include: 1) retail locations which change location type or format, 2) retail locations which are expanded, contracted or relocated if the square footage of the retail location has changed by 20% or more, or, if in the judgment of management, such expansion, contraction or relocation materially alters the comparability of the retail location (either with respect to the manner of its operation or otherwise), 3) in the case of relocations only, retail locations which are not in the same immediate geographical vicinity (such as, without limitation, the same mall, the same part of a mall, or the same street) after the relocation, 4) retail locations that have temporarily closed for any reason for 30 days or more, or 5) retail locations which, in the judgment of management, have undergone other significant changes which materially alter the comparability of the retail location (either with respect to the manner of its operation or otherwise) (such as, for example only, in the case of closure of retail locations in connection with the cessation of a leased department relationship where the manner of operation of such retail location has been materially altered prior to closure, or in the case of construction in, on or near a retail location, which significantly interferes with the customer traffic, visibility or operation of a retail location). Comparable sales exclude the 53 ^rd week of sales for 53-week fiscal years. In the 52-week fiscal year subsequent to a 53-week fiscal year, we exclude the sales in the non-comparable week from the comparable sales calculation. There may be variations in the way in which other retailers calculate comparable sales. As a result, data in this quarterly report regarding our comparable sales may not be comparable to similar data made available by other retailers.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of operational and financial measures. The key measures for determining how our business is performing are net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP (“net income (loss)”) and the corresponding net income (loss), (or earnings (loss)) per share (diluted), net income (loss) before certain charges or credits, when applicable, such as other charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, and certain infrequent income tax adjustments (“adjusted net income (loss)”) and the corresponding earnings (loss) per share (diluted), Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below), Adjusted EBITDA before other charges, net sales, and comparable sales. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income (loss) before deduction for the following non-cash charges: 1) depreciation and amortization expense, 2) loss on impairment of tangible and intangible assets, 3) loss on disposal of assets, and 4) stock-based compensation expense.

Our management believes that each of the non-GAAP financial measures presented by us provides useful information about our results of operations and/or financial position to both investors and management. Each non-GAAP financial measure is provided because management believes it is an important measure of financial performance used in the retail industry to measure operating results, to determine the value of companies within the industry and to define standards for borrowing from institutional lenders. We use each of these non-GAAP financial measures as a measure of our performance. In addition, certain of our cash and equity incentive compensation plans are based on our level of achievement of Adjusted EBITDA before other charges, which is substantially identical to our non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA before certain other deductions.

We provide these various non-GAAP financial measures to investors to assist them in performing their analysis of our historical operating results. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures reflects a measure of our operating results before consideration of certain charges and consequently, none of these measures should be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) or operating income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We may calculate each of these non-GAAP financial measures differently than other companies.

With respect to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we have provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in this Quarterly Report.

Proxy Solicitation

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we received notification from a stockholder group of the nomination of a slate of alternative nominees for election to our Board of Directors at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders that was held on May 23, 2018 (the “Proxy Solicitation”). At our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders the Company’s stockholders replaced the incumbent board in its entirety and elected Holly N. Alden, Christopher B. Morgan, Marla A. Ryan and Anne-Charlotte Windal as our new Board of Directors . During the three months ended May 5, 2018, we incurred $0.9 million of charges related to the Proxy Solicitation.

Three Months Ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018

Net Sales. Our net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased by 8.7%, or $9.0 million, to $94.2 million from $103.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Comparable sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased 7.2%, compared to a comparable sales decrease of 0.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in total reported sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018, resulted primarily from the closure of underperforming retail and lease locations and a decline in store traffic, partially offset by an increase is average selling price.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased by 6.9%, or $3.8 million, to $51.6 million from $55.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and our gross profit as a percentage of net sales (gross margin) for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, was 54.8% compared to 53.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018, was due to our lower sales volume as a result of the closure of underperforming retail and lease locations and a decline in comparable store sales. The year-over-year increase in gross margin is primarily a result of a decrease in markdown and promotional activity.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased by 6.5%, or $3.4 million, to $48.5 million from $51.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 51.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 from 50.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. This decrease in expense for the quarter primarily reflects reductions in employee costs and occupancy expenses resulting from the closure of underperforming stores and ongoing expense reduction initiatives. The increase in expense as a percent of sales reflects the unfavorable leverage from our decreased sales due to the relatively fixed nature of our expenses.

Store Closing, Asset Impairment and Asset Disposal Expenses . Our store closing, asset impairment and asset disposal expenses, including $0.4 million in right-of-use asset impairment, was $0.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $1.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

Other Charges, Net. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we incurred other charges of $0.7 million which is primarily consulting fees and personnel costs related to our management and organizational change initiatives. In the first quarter of fiscal 2018 we incurred other charges of $1.1 million which includes $0.8 million for legal and advisory fees related to the proxy solicitation and $0.3 million in personnel costs related to our management and organizational change initiatives.

Operating Income. We had operating income of $1.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to operating income of $1.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The $0.2 million increase in operating income is the result of a $3.4 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and a $0.5 million decrease in other charges partially offset by a $3.8 million reduction in gross profit.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense of $1. 4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was $0.2 million higher than the first quarter of fiscal 2018 . This increase is the result of an increase in both interest rates and our average debt outstanding.

Income Tax Provision. For the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, our income tax provision was $31,000 and $56,000, respectively. These tax provisions primarily represent minimum state income taxes. Since fiscal 2016, we have been recording full valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carryforwards.

Net Income. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per share (diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 includes other charges of $0.5 million, net of tax, related to management and organizational changes. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 includes a $0.1 million non-cash income tax charge related to a change in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets and other charges of $0.8 million, net of tax.

Our average diluted shares outstanding of 13.9 million was comparable to the 14.0 million average diluted shares for the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

The following is a reconciliation of net income and net income per share (diluted) (“Diluted EPS”) to adjusted net income and adjusted Diluted EPS for the three months ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Seasonality

Our business, like that of many other retailers, is seasonal. Our quarterly net sales have historically been highest in the peak Spring selling season, which will generally occur during the calendar months of March through May, in our first fiscal quarter and the early part of our third fiscal quarter. Given the typically higher sales level in that timeframe and the relatively fixed nature of most of our operating expenses, we have historically generated a significant percentage of our full year operating income during this period. Results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. Quarterly results may be

subject to substantial fluctuation depending upon, among other things, increases or decrea ses in comparable sales, the timing of new store openings and closings, new leased department openings and closings, net sales and profitability contributed by new stores and leased departments, the timing of the fulfillment of purchase orders under our pr oduct and license arrangements, adverse weather conditions, shifts in the timing of certain holidays and promotions, changes in inventory and production levels and the timing of deliveries of inventory, and changes in our merchandise mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash needs have primarily been for 1) capital expenditures, including (i) leasehold improvements, fixtures and equipment for new stores, store relocations and remodels of our existing stores, and (ii) investment in information systems and technology, 2) debt service, including principal prepayments, and 3) working capital, including inventory to support our business. We have historically financed our capital requirements from cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities or available cash balances.

Cash and cash equivalents were unchanged during the first quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to an increase of $0.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

Cash used in operations was $4.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, as compared to $2.5 million of cash used in operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. This increase of approximately $2.1 million in cash used in operations compared to the prior period is primarily the result of a $2.8 million decrease in accrued expenses in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 related to the amount and timing of payments of employee compensation and related benefits. Our working capital changes, quarterly net income and cash flow adjustments may fluctuate significantly, and net cash provided by or used in operating activities for any interim period is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we borrowed $5.8 million against our line of credit to provide working capital, make periodic payments on our equipment loans and fund capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 totaled $2.5 million, including $0.3 million for improvements to new and existing stores and $2.2 million for information systems. We expect to use borrowings under our existing $50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility to fund a portion of our capital requirements from time to time during the remainder of our 2019 fiscal year.

On February 1, 2018 (the “Closing Date”) we entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) which provides for a term loan of up to $25.0 million (the “Term Loan”). On the Closing Date we borrowed $22.5 million against the Term Loan. In July 2018, we borrowed an additional $2.5 million under our Term Loan increasing the balance to $25.0 million, the full amount permitted to be outstanding under the agreement.

The Term Loan matures on January 31, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). There is a minimum excess availability requirement of the greater of 10% of the combined loan cap, as defined in the Term Loan Agreement, or $7.0 million. The interest rate on the Term Loan is equal to a LIBOR rate plus 9.0%. We began to make minimum payments of $0.3 million each quarter commencing on July 31, 2018, with the remaining outstanding balance payable on the Maturity Date. The Term Loan can be prepaid at our option, subject to certain restrictions and subject to a prepayment premium as follows: 1) if prepayment occurs on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the greater of a) interest on the prepayment that would otherwise have been paid with the 24 month period following the Closing Date minus actual interest payments made through the prepayment date and b) 2% of the prepayment, and 2) 2% of the prepayment amount if paid between the second and third anniversary of the Closing Date.

In conjunction with entering into the Term Loan Agreement, on February 1, 2018 we also amended and restated our credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). This amendment, among other things, reduced the borrowing amount under the Credit Facility from $70.0 million to $50.0 million, extended the Termination Date to January 31, 2023 and reduced or eliminated certain availability reserves.

As of May 4, 2019, we had $2 6.2 million in borrowings and $ 6 .3 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility with $1 0.1 million of availability. As of May 5, 2018, we had $15.2 million of borr owings and $7.3 million in letters of credit with $ 20.2 million of availability. For the first quarter of fiscal 2019 , our borrowings had a weighted interest rate of 4. 53 % per annum, our average level of borrowing was $ 27.5 million and our maximum borrowin g at any time was $ 32.3 million. For the first quarter of fiscal 2018 , our borrowings had a weighted interest rate of 3. 60 % per annum our average level of direct borrowings was $1 9.4 million and our maximum borrowings at any time were $ 27.4 million.

On February 22, 2019, the Company entered into a 24-month, $1.8 million software development financing arrangement. The note has monthly payments of $81,648 with an interest rate of 8.16%. As of May 4, 2019, there was $1.6 million of principal outstanding.

As of May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018, there was $2.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, outstanding under a five-year equipment financing arrangement with our Credit Facility lender. The equipment note bears annual interest at 3.38%, with payments of $0.3 million (including interest) due monthly through December 2019. The equipment note is collateralized by substantially all of the material handling equipment at our distribution facility in Florence, New Jersey.

On June 6, 2017, we received $3.4 million in proceeds from a three-year financing arrangement in the form of a sale and leaseback for certain furniture, fixtures and software. Monthly payments under the leaseback arrangement are $0.1 million for the first 24 months and $48,000 for months 25 to 36. At the end of the leaseback term, we have the option to extend the financing for an additional year or repurchase the property for a price to be agreed upon. All proceeds from the transaction were used to prepay a portion of our Term Loan. As of May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018, there was $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of principal outstanding under the arrangement.

In connection with the relocation of our corporate headquarters and our distribution operations from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to southern New Jersey, the Board of the NJEDA approved us for an incentive package of up to $4.0 million in annual benefits under Grow NJ in the form of transferrable income tax credits over a ten-year period from the State of New Jersey. The annual benefit amount available to us is based on an average of eligible jobs within the state and is expected to significantly exceed our annual income tax liability to New Jersey. In order to maximize the realizable value of our incentive package we have an agreement with a third party to sell up to 100% of the annual income tax credits awarded to us. For fiscal 2018 we qualified for $3.0 million in tax credits for which we expect to realize $2.7 million in cash proceeds during fiscal 2019. In December 2018 we received $2.8 million in proceeds, net of costs, from the sale of the tax credits we earned in fiscal 2017. For fiscal 2019 our average eligible jobs are expected to be lower than in fiscal 2018 and we project that we will receive approximately $2.9 million of transferrable tax credits with a pretax realizable value of approximately $2.6 million, subject to our compliance with the requirements under our Grow NJ award. Cost reductions from lower headcount are expected to more than offset any decline in the amount realized from our incentive package.

Based on our current operating plan, our management believes that our current cash and working capital positions, expected operating cash flows and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. We have based this belief on assumptions that we believe are reasonable but may not be realized due to a variety of factors including lower than anticipated net sales or gross margins, increased expenses, continued or declining levels of economic or retail industry conditions, or other events, including those factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019. As a result, we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Furthermore, our operating plan may change, and we may need additional funds sooner than planned. If we are unable to obtain required funds from the aforementioned sources, we will likely need to seek other sources of financing which may not be on favorable terms. as well as defer, reduce or eliminate planned expenditures, which would likely impair our growth prospects and could otherwise negatively impact our business.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes since February 2, 2019, outside of the ordinary course of business, to contractual obligations specified in the table of contractual obligations and commercial commitments in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Our critical accounting policies are described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019. In conjunction with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on February 3, 2019, we began recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments in the consolidated balance sheet. As of May 4, 2019, there were no other material changes in, or additions to, our critical accounting policies or in the assumptions or estimates we used to prepare the financial information appearing in this report.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. We have not entered into any market sensitive instruments for trading purposes. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates. The range of changes presented reflects our view of changes that are reasonably possible over a one-year period.

As of May 4, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 million. Our cash equivalents consist of investments in money market funds that bear interest at variable rates. A change in market interest rates earned on our investments impacts the interest income and cash flows but does not materially impact the fair market value of the financial instruments. Due to the low balance, average maturity and conservative nature of our investment portfolio, we believe a sudden change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the value of our investment portfolio. The impact on our future interest income resulting from changes in investment yields will depend largely on the gross amount of our investment portfolio at that time. However, based upon the conservative nature of our investment portfolio and current experience, we do not believe a decrease in investment yields would have a material negative effect on our interest income.

As of May 4, 2019, our indebtedness consisted of the $23.8 million outstanding under our Term Loan, the $4.9 million of principal balances of our equipment notes, and $26.2 million outstanding under the Credit Facility. All of our indebtedness is denominated in United States dollars. The fair value of our indebtedness is referred to as the “debt value.” The equipment notes bear interest at a weighted fixed rate of 7.16%. Although a change in market interest rates would not affect the interest incurred or cash flow related to this fixed rate portion of our indebtedness, the debt value would be affected.

The Term Loan carries a variable interest rate that is tied to market indices with a minimum annual rate of 9.0%. The sensitivity analysis as it relates to this portion of our debt portfolio assumes an instantaneous 100 basis point move in interest rates above and below the minimum threshold, with all other variables held constant. The debt value of the Term Loan is approximately $23.8 million. A 100-basis point increase in market interest rates above the minimum threshold would result in additional annual interest expense on the Term Loan of approximately $0.2 million. A 100-basis point decline in market interest rates below the minimum threshold would have no effect on our annual interest expense on the Term Loan.

Our Credit Facility has variable interest rates that are tied to market indices. As of May 4, 2019, we had $26.2 million of direct borrowings and $6.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Facility. As of May 4, 2019, borrowings under the Credit Facility would have resulted in interest at a rate between 3.94% and 6.00% per annum. Interest on any future borrowings under the Credit Facility would, to the extent of outstanding borrowings, be affected by changes in market interest rates. A change in market interest rates on the variable rate portion of our indebtedness would impact the interest expense incurred and cash flows.

The sensitivity analysis as it relates to the fixed rate portion of our indebtedness assumes an instantaneous 100 basis point move in interest rates from their levels as of May 4, 2019, with all other variables held constant. A 100-basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the value of the debt by approximately $25,000 as of May 4, 2019. A 100-basis point decline in market interest rates would cause the debt value to increase by approximately $25,000 as of May 4, 2019.
