Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

hhgregg, Inc. (the “Company” or “hhgregg”) is a specialty retailer of home appliances, televisions, computers, consumer electronics, mattresses and related services operating under the name hhgreggTM. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had 210 stores located in Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The Company operates in one reportable segment.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all necessary adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, for a fair presentation of such data. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of hhgregg and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 23, 2012.

The Company included amounts due to a third party financing partner for use under an inventory financing facility, entered into during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, within accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amounts due under the facility are not collateralized by the inventory purchased. Borrowings and payments on the inventory financing facility are classified as financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for a full year. Further, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the assets and liabilities and the reporting of sales and expenses to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of hhgregg and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gregg Appliances, Inc. (“Gregg Appliances”). Gregg Appliances has a wholly-owned subsidiary, HHG Distributing LLC (“HHG Distributing”), which has no assets or operations.

New Accounting Standards

Comprehensive Income — In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. Specifically, the new guidance requires an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminated the previous option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changed the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. As such, we adopted the new guidance for the quarter ended June 30, 2012; however, there is no impact to the financial statements presented as the Company has no other comprehensive income items.

(4) Net Loss per Share

Net loss per basic and diluted share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. When the Company reports net income, the calculation of net income per diluted share excludes shares underlying outstanding stock options and restricted stock units with exercise prices that exceed the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period and certain options and restricted stock units with unrecognized compensation cost, as the effect would be antidilutive. Potential dilutive common shares are composed of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units. As the Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 the weighted average common shares outstanding used in the determination of basic loss per common share is used for the dilutive loss per common share as well. The following table presents net loss per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Revolving Credit Facility

   $ —         $ —     

The capacity for borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility is $300 million, subject to borrowing base availability. The facility expires on March 29, 2016.

Interest (other than Eurodollar rate borrowings) on borrowings is payable monthly at a fluctuating rate based on the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin. Interest on Eurodollar rate borrowings is payable on the last day of each “interest period” applicable to such borrowing or on the three month anniversary of the beginning of such “interest period” for interest periods greater than three months. The unused line rate is determined based on the amount of the daily average of the outstanding borrowings for the immediately preceding calendar quarter period (the “Daily Average”). For a Daily Average greater than or equal to 50% of the defined borrowing base, the unused line rate is 0.375%. For a Daily Average less than 50% of the defined borrowing base, the unused line rate is 0.50%. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by Gregg Appliances’ wholly-owned subsidiary, HHG Distributing LLC (HHG), which has no assets or operations.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. The Company awarded performance-based RSUs to certain officers of the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Under these awards, a number of performance-based RSUs will be granted to each participant based upon the attainment of the applicable bonus targets as approved by the Compensation Committee. Performance-based RSUs are earned shortly after the end of the performance measurement period and vest three years after grant date. If a participant is not employed by the Company on the date the performance-based RSUs vest, the performance-based RSUs are forfeited, except in the case of death or total permanent disability or certain other circumstances as described in the agreement. Upon death or disability, the participant is entitled to receive a portion of the award based upon the period of time lapsed between the date of grant of the performance-based RSU and the termination of employment if the applicable performance target was achieved. Additionally, to the extent performance conditions are not met, performance-based RSUs are forfeited.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company granted 92,820 performance-based RSUs, 6,300 of which have been forfeited as of June 30, 2012. The fair value of performance-based RSUs is based on the Company’s stock price at the date of grant and the probability that the established bonus targets will be achieved. The weighted average grant date fair value for the performance-based RSUs outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $10.86.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A is presented in five sections:

 

   

Overview

 

   

Critical Accounting Polices

 

   

Results of Operations

 

   

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

   

Contractual Obligations

Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained herein and the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on May 23, 2012, and other publicly available information.

Overview

hhgregg, Inc. is a specialty retailer of home appliances, televisions, computers, consumer electronics, mattresses and related services operating under the name hhgregg™. As of June 30, 2012, we operated 210 stores in Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. References to fiscal years in this report relate to the respective twelve month period ended March 31. Our 2013 fiscal year is the twelve month period ending on March 31, 2013.

Throughout our MD&A, we refer to comparable store sales. Comparable store sales is comprised of net sales at stores in operation for at least 14 full months, including remodeled and relocated stores, as well as net sales for our e-commerce site. The method of calculating comparable store sales varies across the retail industry, and our method of calculating comparable store sales may not be the same as other retailers’ methods.

This overview section is divided into four sub-sections discussing our operating strategy and performance, store development strategy, business strategy and core philosophies and seasonality.

Operating Strategy and Performance. We focus the majority of our floor space, advertising expense and distribution infrastructure on the marketing, delivery and installation of a wide selection of premium video and appliance products. We display over 100 models of flat panel televisions and 350 major appliances in our stores with an especially broad assortment of models in the middle- to upper-end of product price ranges. Video and appliance net sales comprised 82% of our net sales mix for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 81% of our net sales mix for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

We strive to differentiate ourselves through our customer purchase experience starting with a highly-trained, consultative commissioned sales force which educates our customers on the features and benefits of our products, followed by rapid product delivery and installation, and ending with post-sales support services. We carefully monitor our competition to ensure that our prices are competitive in the market place. Our experience has been that informed customers often choose to buy a more heavily-featured product once they understand the applicability and benefits of its features. Heavily-featured products typically carry higher average selling prices and higher margins than less-featured, entry-level price point products.

For fiscal 2013, we have implemented several initiatives designed to better position our business to drive additional traffic and increase sales in our comparable store base. The first initiative is to continue to grow our appliance market share, ensuring that we are the “must shop” appliance retailer. We will continue to invest in promotions and customer facing technologies to gain further momentum in this category. We expect to increase our marketing effectiveness in the appliance category by increasing the focus on appliance specific marketing messaging. Additionally, we will continue to invest in enhancements to our delivery and installation capabilities and process. Finally, we will begin to supplement our appliance sales with additional, complimentary product offerings such as small appliances, and through built-in models.

Our second initiative for fiscal 2013 is to stabilize profitability of the video category. This initiative will require us to refine our go-to-market strategy. We expect to achieve this by balancing our focus on the products that differentiate us in the marketplace, such as expanding our assortment of ultra-large screen sizes. Additionally, as a whole the video industry has experienced increased focus and scrutiny around pricing disciplines, resulting from the Unilateral Pricing Policy (“UPP”) and Minimum Advertised Price (“MAP”) policies put into place by several manufacturers. These policies are designed to protect average selling prices and enhance margins in the video category, and were fully rolled out by the end of fiscal first quarter.

Our third initiative for fiscal 2013 is to continue to develop our computing and mobile phone category. We will continue to enhance our offerings of computers, tablets, smart phones and peripherals, and promote them using new product displays. The new displays are expected to help us compete in the back to school and holiday seasons.

Our fourth initiative for fiscal 2013 is to increase the functionality of our e-commerce site. During fiscal 2012 we launched the new hhgregg.com website, which provided an updated look and feel, in addition to significant functionality enhancements. During fiscal 2013, we will continue to add new functionality, including expanding our online assortment of inventory, and refine our processes to make our multi-channel experience even better. Each rollout is expected to add greater site functionality, enhance inventory productivity, and subsequently enhance the customer experience.

Our final initiative for fiscal 2013 is to improve our store productivity. As mentioned above, the video industry has experienced top line and gross margin pressure; creating a challenge for store productivity. As a result, during fiscal 2013, we plan to test new product offerings and categories, such as entertainment furniture and home fitness equipment, in select markets to make an effort to partially offset sales declines from the video category. In performing this testing, we are seeking products that will further leverage in-home delivery, our knowledgeable sales force, and our private label credit card financing. We expect that we will make over one million in-home customer deliveries in the current fiscal year, thus finding new products which leverage in-home delivery is key. We also know that customers trust hhgregg to assist in selecting big box products, thus we believe these products will complement our business well by driving productivity of our sales force. Finally, finding products that require financing, and leveraging the use of our private label credit card is key, as currently approximately one-third of our business utilizes this form of payment. We expect that each of these methods will help generate efficiencies and improve productivity through finding the right product offerings.

Store Development Strategy. Over the past several years, we have adhered closely to a development strategy of adding stores to metropolitan markets in clusters to achieve rapid market share penetration and more efficiently leverage our distribution network, advertising and regional management costs. Our expansion plans include looking for new markets where we believe there is significant underlying demand for stores, typically in areas that have historically demonstrated above-average economic growth, strong household incomes and growth in new housing starts and/or remodeling activity. Our markets typically include most or all of our major competitors. We plan to continue to follow our approach of building store density in each major market and distribution area, which in the past has helped us to improve our market share and realize operating efficiencies.

During the past three months, we opened two new stores in accordance with our new store development schedule. We remain on track to open between 20 and 22 new stores in fiscal 2013.

Business Strategy and Core Philosophies. Our business strategy is focused around offering our customers a superior customer purchase experience. From the time the customers walk in the door, they experience a well-designed, customer-friendly store. Our stores are brightly lit and have clearly distinguished departments that allow our customers to find what they are looking for. We greet and assist our customers with our highly trained consultative sales force, who educate the customers about the different product features.

Our products are rich in features and innovations and are ever-changing. We believe that customers find it helpful to have someone explain the features and benefits of a product. We believe this assistance allows them the opportunity to buy the product that most closely matches their needs. We follow up on the customer purchase experience by offering next-day delivery on many of our products and in-home installation service.

While we believe many of our product offerings are considered essential items by our customers, other products and certain features are viewed as discretionary purchases. As a result, our results of operations are susceptible to a challenging macro-economic environment. Factors such as changes in consumer confidence, unemployment, consumer credit availability and the condition of the housing market have negatively impacted our core product categories and added volatility to our overall business. As consumers show a more cautious approach to purchases of discretionary items, customer traffic and spending patterns continue to be difficult to predict. Given the pressures of consumer demand in the fiscal first quarter, we are committed to aggressively managing costs through the end of fiscal 2013.

The consumer electronics industry depends on new products to drive sales and profitability. Innovative, heavily-featured products are typically introduced at relatively high price points. Over time, price points are gradually reduced to drive consumption. Accordingly, there has been price compression in flat panel televisions for equivalent screen sizes over the past few years. According to the NPD Group, the prices of flat panel televisions in the industry have fallen more than 50% since January 2008. As with similar product life cycles for console televisions, DVD players and large-screen projection televisions, we have responded to this risk by shifting our sales mix to focus on newer, higher margin televisions that feature IPTV technology, with an increased focus on selection and larger screen sizes. In addition to declining average selling prices, promotional activity within the video category has resulted in a reduction in the gross profit margin rate for the category. Management expects the year over year gross profit rate pressure to continue through the first half of fiscal 2013. In addition to our shift in television sales mix, we have also added an increased selection of computers and tablets to our product assortment, and placed a focus on the development of our computing and mobile phones category. However, lower than expected demand and pricing pressures could result in price points for heavily-featured items declining more quickly, and to a greater extent, than we have historically experienced.

Retail appliance sales are highly correlated to the housing industry and housing turnover. As more people purchase existing homes in the market, appliance sales tend to trend upward. Conversely, when demand in the housing market declines, appliance sales traffic is also negatively impacted. The appliance industry has benefited greatly from increased innovation in energy efficient products. While these energy efficient products typically carry a higher average selling price than traditional products, they save the consumer significant dollars in annual energy savings. Average unit selling prices of major appliances are not expected to change dramatically in the foreseeable future.

Seasonality. Our business is seasonal, with a higher portion of net sales and operating profit realized during the quarter that ends December 31 due to the overall demand for consumer electronics during the holiday shopping season. Appliance revenue is impacted by seasonal weather patterns but is less seasonal than our electronics business and helps to offset the seasonality of our overall business.

Critical Accounting Policies

We describe our critical accounting policies and estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 23, 2012. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since the end of fiscal 2012.

Net loss was $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, or $0.16 of net loss per diluted share, compared with net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.02 of net loss per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in net loss for the three month period was the result of a comparable store sale decrease of 5.1%, an increase in advertising expense as a percentage of net sales, an increase in SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales and a slight decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by the net addition of 30 stores in the past 12 months.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased 13.5% to $489.9 million compared to $431.5 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was attributable to the net addition of 30 stores during the past 12 months, partially offset by a comparable store sales decrease of 5.1%.

Net sales mix and comparable store sales percentage changes by product category for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

The decrease in comparable store sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was driven primarily by a decrease in revenues in the video and other categories, partially offset by increases in revenues in the appliance and computing and mobile phones categories. The video category comparable store sales decline was driven by a double digit decrease in unit demand and a low single digit decrease in average selling prices. The decrease in comparable store sales for the other category was primarily a result of double digit comparable store sales decreases in cameras, camcorders and small electronics, partially offset by growth in the mattress category. The appliance category saw an increase in average selling prices, with unit demand relatively flat compared to the prior year three month period. The computing and mobile phones category was led by increased demand in the offering of tablet computers and mobile phones,partially offset by declines in notebook computers.

Gross profit margin, expressed as gross profit as a percentage of net sales, decreased 26 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to 29.9% from 30.2% for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was largely due to a decrease in gross profit margin in the video and appliance categories, partially offset by a favorable sales mix. During the

Table of Contents

fiscal second quarter of the prior year, we experienced an overall reset of gross profit margin rates in the video category. As we have not lapped this reset, gross profit margin rates experienced pressure during the first fiscal quarter of the current year. Appliances also experienced a slight decline in gross profit margin as a result of initiatives to grow market share in the category and increased promotional activity, partially offset by a shift in the product mix within the category to products with higher gross profit margins. The computing and mobile phones category experienced an increase in gross profit margin due mobile phones, which we did not offer in the comparable prior year period. These declines were also offset by an increase in gross profit margin rate in the other category, which was primarily due to increases in furniture and mattresses.

SG&A expense, as a percentage of net sales, increased 32 basis points for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to the prior year period. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was largely a result of increases in employee benefit expenses due to increased health insurance costs, in addition to the deleveraging effect of the comparable store sales decline. This increase was partially offset by slight decreases in other SG&A accounts as a result of cost control measures implemented during the quarter.

Net advertising expense, as a percentage of net sales, increased 96 basis points during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the prior year period. The increase as a percentage of net sales was driven largely by greater promotional activity to drive market share and the deleveraging effect of the comparable store sales decline.

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased to 40.8% from 17.2% in the comparable prior year period. The increase in the effective income tax rate is primarily the result of a charge to reduce deferred tax assets in the comparable prior year period which reduced the income tax benefit recognized. The reduction in the deferred state income tax rate in the comparable prior year period was the result of a scheduled reduction in Indiana’s corporate income tax rate beginning July 1, 2012.

We expect our estimated annual effective income tax rate to range from 39.0% - 39.5% for fiscal 2013 compared to the actual annual effective income tax rate of 24.1% for fiscal 2012. The increase in the estimated annual effective income tax rate is primarily due to the impact of non-taxable life insurance proceeds received in fiscal 2012 as well as federal income tax credits recognized in fiscal 2012 under the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table presents a summary on a consolidated basis of our net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities (dollars are in thousands):

Our liquidity requirements arise primarily from our need to fund working capital requirements and capital expenditures. We make capital expenditures principally to fund our expansion strategy, which includes, among other things, investments in new stores and new distribution facilities, remodeling and relocation of existing stores, as well as information technology and other infrastructure-related projects that support our expansion.

We plan to open between 20 and 22 new stores during fiscal 2013, of which two stores had been opened as of June 30, 2012. In addition, we plan to continue to invest in our infrastructure, including management information systems and distribution capabilities, as well as incur capital remodeling and improvement costs. We expect capital expenditures, net of sale and leaseback proceeds and tenant allowances from landlords, for fiscal 2013 store openings and relocations to range between $50 million and $55 million. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2013 will be funded through cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and tenant allowances from landlords.

Cash Used in Operating Activities. Cash used in operating activities primarily consists of net loss as adjusted for increases or decreases in working capital and non-cash depreciation and amortization. Cash used in operating activities was $48.9 million and $36.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily due to the net change in our other current operating assets and liabilities. The net change in other current operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of differences in timing of customer sales and vendor payments.

Cash Used In Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $15.2 million and $29.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is due to the difference in timing of purchases of property and equipment associated with the opening of new stores. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we opened two new stores, and had construction in progress on 19 new stores to be opened in the following quarters in fiscal 2013. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we opened seven new stores, and incurred construction in progress on 29 new stores to be opened in the following quarters in fiscal 2012.

Cash Provided by (Used In) Financing Activities. Cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $(5.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The cash provided by financing activities in the current quarter relates to an inventory financing facility which was entered into during the quarter resulting in $11.1 million of borrowings. This is offset by a decrease of cash used to repurchase treasury stock in the first quarter 2013 when compared to the prior period, and a decrease in the amount of bank overdrafts outstanding due to a difference in timing when compared to the prior period.

Revolving Credit Facility. The capacity for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is $300 million, subject to borrowing base availability. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on March 29, 2016.

Interest (other than Eurodollar rate borrowings) on borrowings is payable monthly at a fluctuating rate based on the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin. Interest on Eurodollar rate borrowings is payable on the last day of each “interest period” applicable to such borrowing or on the three month anniversary of the beginning of such “interest period” for interest periods greater than three months. The unused line rate is determined based on the amount of the daily average of the outstanding borrowings for the immediately preceding calendar quarter period (the “Daily Average”). For a Daily Average greater than or equal to 50% of the defined borrowing base, the unused line rate is 0.375%. For a Daily Average less than 50% of the defined borrowing base, the unused line rate is 0.50%. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by Gregg Appliances’ wholly-owned subsidiary, HHG Distributing LLC (HHG), which has no assets or operations. The guarantee is full and unconditional and Gregg Appliances has no other subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility, the borrowing base was modified to equal the sum of (i) the lesser of (a) 90% of the net orderly liquidation value of all eligible inventory of Gregg Appliances or (b) 75% of the net book value of such eligible inventory and (ii) 90% of all commercial and credit card receivables of Gregg Appliances, in each case subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria.

Under the Revolving Credit Facility, Gregg Appliances is not required to comply with any financial maintenance covenant unless “excess availability” is less than the greater of (i) 10.0% of the lesser of (A) the defined borrowing base or (B) the defined maximum credit or (ii) $15.0 million until September 30, 2012 and $20.0 million thereafter, during the continuance of which event Gregg Appliances is subject to compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.

Pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility, if Gregg Appliances has “excess availability” (i) less than 12.5% of the lesser of (A) the defined borrowing base or (B) the defined maximum credit, it may, in certain circumstances more specifically described in the Revolving Credit Facility, become subject to cash dominion control.

The Revolving Credit Facility places limitations on the ability of Gregg Appliances to, among other things, incur debt, create other liens on its assets, make investments, sell assets, pay dividends, undertake transactions with affiliates, enter into merger transactions, enter into unrelated businesses, open collateral locations outside of the United States, or enter into consignment assignments or floor plan financing arrangements. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains various customary representations and warranties, financial and collateral reporting requirements and other affirmative and negative covenants. Gregg Appliances was in compliance with the restrictions and covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2012 under the Revolving Credit Facility, Gregg Appliances had no cash borrowings outstanding and $5.2 million of letters of credit outstanding which expire through December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, the total borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $206.9 million. The interest rate based on the bank’s prime rate as of June 30, 2012 was 4.25%.

As of March 31, 2012 under the Revolving Credit Facility, Gregg Appliances had no borrowings outstanding and $5.2 million of letters of credit outstanding, which expire through December 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, the total borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $175.0 million. The interest rate based on the bank’s prime rate as of March 31, 2012 was 4.25%.

Long Term Liquidity. Anticipated cash flows from operations and funds available from our Revolving Credit Facility, together with cash on hand, should provide sufficient funds to finance our operations for at the foreseeable future. As a normal part of our business, we consider opportunities to refinance our existing indebtedness, based on market conditions. Although we may refinance all or part of our existing indebtedness in the future, there can be no assurances that we will do so. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Additional debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions.

Contractual Obligations

We entered into lease commitments totaling approximately $11.7 million over their respective lease terms during the three months ended June 30, 2012. There have been no other significant changes in our contractual obligations since the end of fiscal 2012. See our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 23, 2012 for additional information regarding our contractual obligations.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have established a Disclosure Committee, consisting of certain members of management, to assist in this evaluation. Our Disclosure Committee meets on a quarterly basis and more often if necessary.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2012. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are engaged in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business and have certain unresolved claims pending. The ultimate liability, if any, for the aggregate amounts claimed cannot be determined at this time. However, management believes, based on the examination of these matters and experiences to date, that the ultimate liability, if any, in excess of amounts already provided for in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is not likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Except for the new risk factor described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 23, 2012.

Our growth is dependent on the success of our strategies.

Our growth is dependent on our ability to identify, develop and execute our strategies. Our failure to properly deploy and utilize capital and other resources may adversely affect our initiatives designed to better position our business to drive additional traffic and increase sales in our comparable store base. We are focusing on areas where we see the greatest opportunities for growth and profit: growth in appliance market share; stabilizing profitability of the video category, including expansion of the assortment of ultra-large screen sizes; further development of the computing and mobile phone category; increased functionality of the e-commerce site; cost control; and improvement of store productivity. We also continue to act upon our new store development strategy of opening stores in groups within a market in order to achieve efficiencies and maximize profitability; and our business strategy of offering customers a superior purchase experience. Failure to execute these initiatives and strategies could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
