Item 11.
|
Additional Information.
|
The information set forth in the section of the Offer to Purchase entitled “Certain Information Concerning the Company—Certain Preliminary Financial Statements,” which is incorporated by reference, is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
As of March 28, 2008, the Company has substantially completed the audit of its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, and has identified certain additional adjustments to its December 31, 2007 results, the largest of which related to Campus Outfitters. The changes to the financial information presented in this document from that presented in the Offer to Purchase filed on March 7, 2008 are primarily related to:
|
•
|
a $1.2 million impairment of the Campus Outfitter uniform inventory (the Company sold its Campus Outfitters business on February 27, 2008); and
|
|
•
|
$0.8 million in increased cost of textbook sales based on the availability of actual results data as compared to historical estimates, which were used in the preparation of the preliminary information summarized in the Offer to Purchase.
|
In addition, the Company expects to receive a “going concern” opinion when the fiscal 2007 audit is completed.
Giving effect to the adjustments identified to date, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 show the following:
|
•
|
Unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007: cash of $0.0, restricted cash of $2.0 million, total current assets of $9.3 million, total assets of $12.9 million, total current liabilities of $7.1 million and total liabilities of $8.1 million;
|
|
•
|
Unaudited statements of income of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: net sales of $44.4 million, gross margin of $11.4 million, total operating expenses of $21.1 million, operating loss of $9.7 million and net loss of $9.9 million; and
|
|
•
|
Unaudited statement of cash flow of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: cash used in operating activities of $2.1 million, proceeds from investing activities of $3.6 million and cash used in financing activities of $1.9 million, for a net decrease in cash of $0.4 million.
|
The Company’s independent auditors did not review or audit the data provided above or the underlying financial statements. There can be no assurance that this information will be consistent with final audited information, which may vary materially from the information above.
