1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles or those normally made in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, the reader of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q should refer to the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1994 for additional information.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Company's customary accounting practices and have not been audited. All subsidiaries are included. In management's opinion, all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended July 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively have been made.
Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The nature of the Company's business is highly seasonal. Historically, sales in the fourth quarter have been substantially higher than sales achieved in each of the first three quarters of the fiscal year. Thus expenses, and to a greater extent operating income, vary greatly by quarter. Caution, therefore, is advised when evaluation results for a period shorter than a full year or when comparing any period to other than the same period of the previous year.
Six months ended July 31, 1994 and 1993.
NET SALES. Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 1995 increased $127.0 million, or 26.6%, to $604.4 million from $477.4 million for the comparable period of fiscal 1994. The increase resulted from 212 net additional stores being open during the first six months of fiscal 1995 as compared to the same prior year period and an increase of 13.4% in same-store sales. The Company defines same-stores as those opened prior to the beginning of the previous fiscal year which have remained open throughout the previous fiscal year and the period reported. Management believes that the same- store sales increase was primarily due to higher in-stock levels in the stores, improved merchandising, and continued aggressive every day low pricing. The mix of merchandise sales for the period was 64.9% hardlines and 35.1% softlines, unchanged from the same period a year ago.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 1995 was $167.7 million, or 27.7% of net sales, compared to $135.5 million, or 28.4% of net sales, for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease in gross profit percentage is the result of the effect of markdowns taken in prior periods and planned price reductions providing lower initial markup on current merchandise purchases. Interim cost of goods sold is determined using estimates of shrinkage, inflation and markdowns which are adjusted to reflect actual results at year end.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales decreased to 21.3% for the first six months of fiscal 1995 from 22.8% for the comparable period if fiscal 1994 primarily because of higher sales volume and lower advertising, supply, and health benefit costs. Selling, general and administrative expense of $128.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 1995 represents an increase of 18.3% from $109.0 million for the comparable prior year period. This increase resulted from operating 212 net additional stores during the first six months of fiscal 1995 as compared to the same prior year period and an 11.6% increase in same-store expenses.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased 13.7% to $1.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 1995 from $1.2 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease resulted primarily from lower interest rates partially offset by higher average borrowings.
Three months ended July 31, 1994 and 1993.
NET SALES. Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased $61.7 million or 24.2%, to $317.3 million from $255.6 million for the same period in fiscal 1994. The increase resulted from a same-store sales increase of 11.3% and the operation of 52 net additional stores.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 27.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to 28.6% for the comparable period in fiscal 1994. This decrease was due to the same factors affecting gross profit for the six month period.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling, general and administrative expense expressed as a percentage of sales decreased to 20.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 from 22.2% for the same period in the previous year. This decrease was due to the same factors affecting selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six month period. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $7.9 million or 14.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal 1994 due to 52 net new stores and same-store expenses increasing 8.5%.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 decreased 7.3%, to $0.6 million from $0.7 million, from the comparable period in fiscal 1994 due to lower interest rates which more than offset higher average borrowings.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flows from operating activities. Cash flow used in operating activities totaled $33.0 million during the first six months of fiscal 1995 compared to $10.1 million in the same period last year. This increased use of cash is primarily due to inventories increasing by $72.5 million, $25.7 million more than in the same period last year, and a $10.5 million increase in trade payables, $8.8 million less than in the same period last year. This smaller increase in trade payables is due partly to a greater proportion of merchandise purchases being imported and financed by letters of credit rather than by trade credit. Also the receipt of merchandise purchases occurred earlier this year to support anticipated Fall and Christmas sales and to avoid distribution capacity limitations while the Company's third distribution center is being constructed.
Cash flows from investing activities. Cash used for capital expenditures during the first six months of fiscal 1995 was $23.9 million compared to $16.4 million during the same period of fiscal 1994. This increase is primarily due to the investment in stores including, new, relocated and remodeled stores of $13.2 million this year versus $9.5 million in the prior year and $4.5 million related to the construction of the Ardmore, OK distribution center.
Cash flows from financing activities. The Company's net borrowings during the first six months of fiscal 1995 increased $44.0 million compared to an increase of $24.0 million during the same period in the prior fiscal year. This higher level of borrowings is referable to the increased merchandise imports that are financed by letters of credit, rather than trade credit. The increase in borrowings is also due to a shifting of purchases to earlier in the year to support anticipated Fall and Christmas sales and to avoid distribution capacity limitation while the Company's third distribution center is being constructed.
Because the Company emphasizes seasonal events, such as Christmas and back-to-school, its working capital requirements vary significantly during the year. Bank credit facilities equaled $120 million at July 31, 1994 ($65 million revolving credit/term loan facility plus $55.0 million seasonal lines of credit). The Company had no seasonal line of credit borrowings as of July 31, 1994 or 1993. Seasonal working capital and capital expenditure requirements will continue to be met through cash flow provided by operating activities supplemented by the revolving credit/term loan facility and seasonal credit lines.
The Company's liquidity position is set forth in the following table (dollar amounts in thousands):
July 31, January 31, July 31,
1994 1994 1993
Current ratio 1.9x 2.1x 1.9x
