Sharper Image Corporation

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

 

Three-month periods ended April 30, 2005 and 2004

 

NOTE A- Interim Financial Statements

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed balance sheets at April 30, 2005 and 2004, the related condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 have been prepared by Sharper Image Corporation (the “Company”) without audit. In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of April 30, 2005 and 2004, and for the three-month period then ended. The balance sheet at January 31, 2005, presented herein, has been derived from the audited balance sheet of the Company.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the notes to annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, which includes additional disclosures, including the Company’s significant accounting policies.

 

The Company’s business is highly seasonal, reflecting the general pattern associated with the retail industry of peak sales and earnings during the holiday shopping season. A substantial portion of the Company’s total revenues and all or most of the Company’s net earnings usually occur in the fourth quarter ending January 31. The Company, as is typical in the retail industry, generally experiences lower revenues and lower net operating results during the other quarters and has incurred and may continue to incur losses in these quarters. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.

 

Reclassifications

 

The April 30, 2004 investments in auction rate securities of $33.4 million have been reclassified from cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments on the Company’s Condensed Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows. The reclassification was effected as the securities had stated maturities beyond three months but were priced and traded as short-term investments due to the liquidity provided through the interest rate reset mechanism of approximately every 35 days. The purchase and sale of short-term investments previously presented as cash and cash equivalents have been reclassified to investing activities in the Company’s condensed Statements of Cash Flows. The effect of this reclassification resulted in an increase in net cash provided by investing activities of $15.3million for the three months ended April 30, 2004.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ materially from estimates and assumptions made.

New Accounting Standards

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”) which replaces SFAS No. 123, supercedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25 and related interpretations and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” The provisions of SFAS No. 123R are similar to those of SFAS No. 123; however, SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statement as compensation cost based on their fair value on the date of the grant. The fair value of the share-based awards will be determined using an option-pricing model on the grant date. SFAS No. 123R is effective at the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 123R no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.151, “Inventory Costs—An Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS No. 151”). SFAS No. 151 clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage should be expensed as incurred and not included in overhead. The provisions in SFAS No. 151 must be applied prospectively to the Company’s inventory costs incurred after January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Note B—Restatement of Condensed Financial Statements

 

On February 7, 2005, the Office of the Chief Accountant of the SEC issued a letter in which it expressed its views regarding certain operating lease accounting issues and their application under GAAP. The Company’s management subsequently reviewed its lease-related accounting practices and determined that a correction was required to the way it accounted for its leases, specifically the accounting for rent holidays. Before this correction, the Company recognized the straight-line expense for leases beginning on the commencement date of the lease, generally the store opening date; this had the effect of excluding the stores’ construction and pre-opening periods from the total time over which the Company expensed rent. As a result, the Company corrected its a
