NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
PetMed Express, Inc. and subsidiaries, d/b/a 1-800-PetMeds (the “Company”), is a leading nationwide pet pharmacy. The Company markets prescription and non-prescription pet medications, health products, and supplies for dogs and cats, direct to the consumer. The Company offers consumers an attractive alternative for obtaining pet medications in terms of convenience, price, and speed of delivery. The Company markets its products through national advertising campaigns, which aim to increase the recognition of the “1-800-PetMeds” brand name, and “PetMeds” family of trademarks, increase traffic on its website at www.1800petmeds.com, acquire new customers, and maximize repeat purchases. The majority of the Company’s sales are to residents in the United States. The Company’s corporate headquarters and distribution facility are located in Pompano Beach, Florida. In the third quarter of fiscal 2017, we plan on relocating the corporate headquarters and distribution facility to Delray Beach, Florida. The Company’s fiscal year end is March 31, and references herein to Fiscal 2017 or Fiscal 2016 refer to the Company's fiscal years ending March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2016, the Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and Cash Flows for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PetMed Express, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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 the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On March 30, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Accounting Standards Update on Stock Compensation Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). The objective of this update is to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The update becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
4 |
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 2: Net Income Per Share
In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 260 (“Earnings Per Share”) basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share includes the dilutive effect of potential restricted stock and the effects of the potential conversion of preferred shares, calculated using the treasury stock method. Unvested restricted stock and convertible preferred shares issued by the Company represent the only dilutive effect reflected in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the periods presented (in thousands, except for per share amounts):
Three Months Ended September 30, | Six Months Ended September 30, | |||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | |||||||||||||
Net income (numerator): | ||||||||||||||||

Common shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock | 133 | 110 | 137 | 112 | ||||||||||||
Common shares issuable upon conversion of preferred shares | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | ||||||||||||
Shares used in diluted computation | 20,377 | 20,246 | 20,355 | 20,222 | ||||||||||||
Net income per common share: | ||||||||||||||||

Diluted | $ | 0.24 | $ | 0.22 | $ | 0.56 | $ | 0.51 |
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2016, 30,000 shares of common restricted stock were excluded from the computations of diluted net income per common share, as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income per common share. All other common restricted stock was included in the diluted net income per common share computation for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015.
Note 3: Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records compensation expense associated with restricted stock in accordance with ASC Topic 718 (“Share Based Payment”). The compensation expense related to all of the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses. The Company had 977,879 restricted common shares issued under the 2006 Employee Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (“2006 Employee Plan”), 272,000 restricted common shares issued under the 2006 Outside Director Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (“2006 Director Plan”), and 30,000 restricted common shares issued under the 2015 Outside Director Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (“2015 Director Plan”) at September 30, 2016, all shares of which were issued subject to a restriction or forfeiture period which lapse ratably on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant, and the fair value of which is being amortized over the three-year restriction period.
In July 2016, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 50,000 restricted shares to certain employees of the Company under the 2006 Employee Plan, with a fair value of $19.60 per share. In July 2016, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 30,000 restricted shares to directors of the Company under the 2015 Director Plan, with a fair value of $20.73 per share. For the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $483,000 and $406,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the Employee and Director Plans. For the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $946,000 and $777,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the Employee and Director Plans. At September 30, 2016 and 2015, there was $4.3 million and $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted stock awards, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over the next three years. At September 30, 2016 and 2015, there were 273,000 and 186,000 non-vested restricted shares, respectively.
5 |
On July 29, 2016, the Company’s 2016 Employee Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (“2016 Employee Plan) became effective upon the approval of the plan by the Company’s Shareholders. The 2016 Employee Plan authorizes 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common stock available for issuance under the plan.
Note 4: Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The buildings located at 420 South Congress Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida, the Company’s new corporate headquarters and distribution facility (“the Property”) (described below) will be depreciated over a period of thirty years. The furniture, fixtures, equipment, and computer software are depreciated over periods ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements and assets under capital lease agreements are amortized over the shorter of the underlying lease agreement or the useful life of the asset.
On December 22, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase of the Property at a purchase price of $18.5 million, plus closing costs. The transaction closed on January 19, 2016. The Property consists of approximately 634,000 square feet of land or 14.6 acres with two building complexes totaling approximately 185,000 square feet, with additional land for future use. Once the Property is renovated to the Company’s specifications and ready for its operation, expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company intends to occupy approximately 97,000 square feet for its corporate headquarters and distribution facility, and to continue to operate the remaining office and warehouse space pursuant to existing leases. At September 30, 2016, the Company paid approximately $5.8 million for building improvements and equipment related to the newly purchased Property, which was recorded as a prepaid current asset, since the Property will not be ready to be put into use until the quarter ending December 31, 2016.
Note 5: Fair Value
The Company carries various assets and liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. ASC Topic 820 (“Fair Value Measurements”) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. At September 30, 2016, the Company had invested the majority of its $51.9 million cash and cash equivalents balance in money market funds which are classified within level 1.
Note 6: Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has settled complaints that had been filed with various states’ regulatory boards in the past. There can be no assurances made that other states will not attempt to take similar actions against the Company in the future. The Company initiates litigation to protect its trade or service marks. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in protecting its trade or service marks. Legal costs related to the above matters are expensed as incurred.

No shares of treasury stock were purchased or retired in the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.
Note 8: Income Taxes
For the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $2.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $6.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The increase to the income tax provision for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016, is related to increased operating income. The effective tax rate for each of the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately 37.1%, compared to 37.0% for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2015.
Note 9: Subsequent Events
On October 24, 2016 our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.19 per share. The Board established a November 7, 2016 record date and a November 18, 2016 payment date. Based on the outstanding share balance as of November 1, 2016 the Company estimates the dividend payable to be approximately $3.9 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Executive Summary
PetMed Express was incorporated in the state of Florida in January 1996. The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “PETS.” The Company began selling pet medications and other pet health products in September 1996. In March 2010, the Company started offering for sale additional pet supplies on its website, and these items are drop shipped to customers by third party vendors. Presently, the Company’s product line includes approximately 3,000 of the most popular pet medications, health products, and supplies for dogs and cats.
The Company markets its products through national advertising campaigns which aim to increase the recognition of the “1-800-PetMeds” brand name, and “PetMeds” family of trademarks, increase traffic on its website at www.1800petmeds.com, acquire new customers, and maximize repeat purchases. Approximately 82% of all sales were generated via the Internet for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to 81% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The Company’s sales consist of products sold mainly to retail consumers. The three-month average purchase was approximately $82 and $80 per order for the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and the six-month average purchase was approximately $82 and $81 per order for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of our operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the data used to prepare them. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On an ongoing basis we re-evaluate our judgments and estimates including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and our beliefs of what could occur in the future considering available information. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our estimates are guided by observing the following critical accounting policies.
Revenue recognition
The Company generates revenue by selling pet medication products and pet supplies primarily to retail consumers. The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue from product sales upon shipment, when the rights of ownership and risk of loss have passed to the customer. Outbound shipping and handling fees are included in sales and are billed upon shipment. Shipping expenses are included in cost of sales. The majority of the Company’s sales are paid by credit cards and the Company usually receives the cash settlement in two to three banking days. Credit card sales minimize accounts receivable balances relative to sales. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for losses that the Company estimates will arise from customers’ inability to make required payments, arising from either credit card charge-backs or insufficient funds checks. The Company determines its estimates of the uncollectibility of accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts and current economic trends. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $10,000 at September 30, 2016 compared to $13,000 at March 31, 2016.
Valuation of inventory
Inventories consist of prescription and non-prescription pet medications and pet supplies that are available for sale and are priced at the lower of cost or market value using a weighted average cost method. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence. The inventory reserve was approximately $37,000 at September 30, 2016 compared to $64,000 at March 31, 2016.
Advertising
The Company's advertising expense consists primarily of Internet marketing and direct mail/print advertising. Internet costs are expensed in the month incurred and direct mail/print advertising costs are expensed when the related catalogs, brochures, and postcards are produced, distributed, or superseded.
8 |
Accounting for income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 (“Accounting for Income Taxes”), which generally requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting carrying values and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse.
Results of Operations
The following should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere herein. The following table sets forth, as a percentage of sales, certain operating data appearing in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income:

Sales
Sales increased by approximately $4.1 million, or 7.2%, to approximately $60.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, from approximately $56.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

The increase in sales for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to increased new order and reorder sales. The Company acquired approximately 131,000 new customers for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to approximately 127,000 new customers for the same period the prior year. For the six months ended September 30, 2016 the Company acquired approximately 289,000 new customers, compared to 275,000 new customers for the six months ended September 30, 2015.

Going forward sales may be adversely affected due to increased competition and consumers giving more consideration to price. No guarantees can be made that sales will grow in the future. The majority of our product sales are affected by the seasons, due to the seasonality of mainly heartworm, and flea and tick medications. For the quarters ended June 30, September 30, December 31, and March 31 of Fiscal 2016, the Company’s sales were approximately 30%, 24%, 22%, and 24%, respectively.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales increased by approximately $4.9 million, or 13%, to approximately $42.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, from approximately $37.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, cost of sales increased by approximately $6.3 million, or 7.3%, to approximately $92.8 million compared to $86.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in cost of sales is directly related to the increase in sales during the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2016. Cost of sales as a percent of sales was 70.3% and 66.7% for the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 the cost of sales was 69.6% and 67.4%, respectively. The increase to cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2016 is mainly attributed to an increase in product costs on certain brands and additional discounts given to customers to increase sales during the quarter and six months.

Gross profit
Gross profit decreased by approximately $849,000, or 4.5%, to approximately $18.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, from approximately $18.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. For the six months ended September 30, 2016 gross profit decreased by approximately $1.4 million, or 3.3%, to approximately $40.5 million, compared to $41.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit is directly related to an increase in product costs on certain brands and additional discounts given to customers to increase sales during the quarter and six months. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 29.7% and 33.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, gross profit was 30.4% and 32.6%, respectively. The gross profit percentage decrease for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2016 is mainly attributed to an increase in product costs on certain brands and additional discounts given to customers to increase sales during the quarter and six months.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $359,000, or 6.7%, to approximately $5.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, from approximately $5.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to the following: a $258,000 increase in payroll expenses; a $95,000 increase in bank service fees; a $59,000 increase in bad debt expenses relating to increased credit card chargebacks during the quarter; and a $10,000 net increase in other expenses which included telephone expenses, licenses, professional fees, and travel expenses. Offsetting the increase was a $34,000 decrease to property expenses relating to computer maintenance and a $29,000 decrease to insurance expenses.
For the six months ended September 30, 2016, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $658,000, or 5.9%, to approximately $11.8 million from approximately $11.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to the following: a $546,000 increase in payroll expenses; a $129,000 increase in bank service fees; and a $124,000 increase in bad debt expenses relating to increased credit card chargebacks during the quarter. Offsetting the increase was a $75,000 decrease to property expenses relating to computer maintenance; a $63,000 decrease to insurance expenses; and a $3,000 net decrease in other expenses which included telephone expenses, licenses, professional fees, office expenses, and travel expenses.
Advertising expenses
Advertising expenses decreased by approximately $1.8 million, or 30%, to approximately $4.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, from approximately $6.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, advertising expenses decreased by approximately $4.0 million, or 28%, to approximately $10.1 million compared to advertising expenses of approximately $14.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in advertising expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016 is mainly attributed to the elimination of television advertising spending. The advertising costs of acquiring a new customer, defined as total advertising costs divided by new customers acquired, decreased to $33 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $49 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. For the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 the advertising costs of acquiring a new customer were $35 and $51, respectively. The decrease in customer acquisition costs for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2016 is attributed to increased sales conversion. Advertising cost of acquiring a new customer can be impacted by the advertising environment, the effectiveness of our advertising creative, advertising spending, and price competition. Historically, the advertising environment fluctuates due to supply and demand. A more favorable advertising environment may positively impact future new order sales, whereas a less favorable advertising environment may negatively impact future new order sales.
As a percentage of sales, advertising expense was 7.2% and 11.0% for the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 advertising expense was 7.6% and 11.0%, respectively. The decrease in advertising expense as a percentage of total sales for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2016 is attributed to an elimination of television advertising spending. The Company currently anticipates advertising as a percentage of sales to be approximately 7.0% for Fiscal 2017. However, the advertising percentage will fluctuate quarter to quarter due to seasonality and advertising availability. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, quarterly advertising expenses as a percentage of sales ranged between 7% and 11%.

Depreciation
Depreciation expense increased by approximately $18,000 to approximately $204,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, from approximately $186,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. For the six months ended September 30, 2016 depreciation expense increased by approximately $21,000 to $398,000 compared to $377,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase to depreciation expense for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2016 can be attributed to an increase in new property and equipment additions.
Other income
Other income increased by approximately $4,000 to approximately $55,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 from approximately $51,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. For the six months ended September 30, 2016 other income increased by approximately $39,000 to approximately $136,000 compared to approximately $97,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase to other income for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2016 is related to rental revenue offset by decreased interest income. Interest income may decrease in the future as the Company utilizes its cash balances on its share repurchase plan, with approximately $10.2 million remaining as of September 30, 2016, on any quarterly dividend payment, or on its operating activities.
Provision for income taxes
For the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $2.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $6.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The increase to the income tax provision for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016, is related to an increase in operating income. The effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately 37.1%, compared to 37.0% for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2015. The Company estimates its effective tax rate will be approximately 37.0% for Fiscal 2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s working capital at September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 was $66.0 million and $60.5 million, respectively. The $5.5 million increase in working capital was primarily attributable to cash flow generated from operations, offset by dividends paid. Net cash provided by operating activities was $27.8 million and $14.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This change can be mainly attributed to a decrease in the Company’s inventory balance, compared to the same period in the prior year. Net cash used in investing activities increased to $5.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2016, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $208,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2015. This change in investing activities is related to increased property and equipment additions related to the Company’s new corporate headquarters and distribution facility in Delray Beach, Florida. Net cash used in financing activities was $7.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $7.3 million for the same period in the prior year, which represented an increase in the dividend paid in the period ended September 30, 2016.
At September 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $10.2 million remaining under the Company’s share repurchase plan. Subsequent to September 30, 2016, on October 24, 2016 our Board of Directors declared a $0.19 per share dividend. The Board established a November 7, 2016 record date and a November 18, 2016 payment date. Depending on future market conditions the Company may utilize its cash and cash equivalents on the remaining balance of its current share repurchase plan, on dividends, or on its operating activities. At September 30, 2016 the Company had no outstanding lease commitments except for the lease for its 65,300 square foot facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. We are not currently bound by any long or short term agreements for the purchase or lease of capital expenditures. Any material amounts expended for capital expenditures would be the result of an increase in the capacity needed to adequately provide for any increase in our business. To date we have paid for any needed additions to our capital equipment infrastructure from working capital funds and anticipate this being the case in the future. Presently, we have approximately $4.0 million forecasted for capital expenditures for the remainder of Fiscal 2017, which will be funded through cash from operations. The Company’s primary source of working capital is cash from operations. The Company presently has no need for alternative sources of working capital, and has no commitments or plans to obtain additional capital.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the value of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The book values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Interest rates affect our return on excess cash and investments. At September 30, 2016, we had $51.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, a majority of our cash and cash equivalents and investments generate interest income based on prevailing interest rates. A significant change in interest rates would impact the amount of interest income generated from our excess cash and investments. It would also impact the market value of our investments. Our investments are subject to market risk, primarily interest rate and credit risk. Our investments are managed by a limited number of outside professional managers within investment guidelines set by our Board of Directors. Such guidelines include security type, credit quality, and maturity, and are intended to limit market risk by restricting our investments to high-quality debt instruments with both short and long term maturities. We do not hold any derivative financial instruments that could expose us to significant market risk. At September 30, 2016, we had no debt obligations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective such that the information relating to our Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act: (1) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

EXHIBIT A
PETMED EXPRESS, INC.
2016 EMPLOYEE EQUITY COMPENSATION
RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN
1. PURPOSE OF PLAN
The purpose of the PetMed Express, Inc. 2016 Restricted Stock Plan (the "2016 Plan"), which is being established by PetMed Express, Inc. on behalf of itself, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the "Company"), is to secure and retain employees of outstanding ability and to provide additional motivation to such employees to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company. The Company expects that it will benefit from the added commitment which such employees will have in the welfare of the Company as a result of their ownership or increased ownership of the Company's Common Stock.
2. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE 2016 PLAN
The shares that may be awarded under the 2016 Plan (without payment by participants) shall be the common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), and shall be authorized, but un-issued, shares. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be awarded hereunder (subject to any adjustments as provided below) shall not in the aggregate exceed 1,000,000 shares. Shares of Common Stock forfeited as a result of a participant's termination of employment shall again become available for award under the 2016 Plan.
3. ADMINISTRATION
The 2016 Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, each of whom is a "non-employee director" as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Committee"). No member of the Committee shall be eligible to participate in the 2016 Plan.
The Committee shall have the sole authority to (i) award shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”) under the 2016 Plan; (ii) consistent with the 2016 Plan, determine the provisions of the shares to be awarded, the restrictions and other terms and conditions applicable to each award of shares under the 2016 Plan; (iii) interpret the 2016 Plan, the instruments evidencing the restrictions imposed upon stock awarded under the 2016 Plan and the shares awarded under the 2016 Plan; (iv) adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations for the administration of the 2016 Plan; and (v) generally administer the 2016 Plan and make all determinations in connection therewith which may be necessary or advisable, and all such actions of the Committee shall be binding upon all participants. Committee decisions and selections shall be made by a majority of its members present at the meeting at which a quorum is present, and shall be final. Any decision or selection reduced to writing and signed by all of the members of the Committee shall be as fully effective as if it had been made at a meeting duly held.
4. ELIGIBILITY
All employees, including officers, of the Company who are, from time to time, responsible for the management, growth and protection of the business of the Company shall be eligible for awards of stock under the 2016 Plan. No member of the Board of Directors of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the 2016 Plan unless such director is also an employee of the Company. The employees who shall receive awards under the 2016 Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion, from among those eligible, and the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of shares to be awarded to each such employee selected. The Committee may, within the terms of the 2016 Plan, be selective and non-uniform with respect to its determination of the amount of awards and the eligible employees to whom such awards are made.

5. RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO SHARES
A participant to whom an award of Restricted Stock has been made under the 2016 Plan will have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock so awarded, including, but not limited to, the right to receive, subject to the following sentence, such cash dividends, if any, as may be declared on such shares from time to time and the right to vote (in person or by proxy) such shares at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders. As a condition to the grant of the award under the 2016 Plan, and without limiting the provisions of Section 7(b) hereof, dividends, if any, as may be declared on such shares of Common Stock shall be deposited into an escrow or similarly segregated account, and disbursement of such dividends to the participant will occur only upon the delivery of the shares of Common Stock to which such dividends relate, and in the event the shares of Common Stock to which such dividends relate are forfeited, the participant’s right to receive disbursement of such dividends will be forfeited and the amount of the dividends shall be returned to the Company.
6. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION
If the shares of Common Stock that have been awarded to an employee pursuant to the terms of the 2016 Plan are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an exemption from registration, such employee, if the Committee shall deem it advisable, may be required to represent and agree in writing (i) that any shares of Common Stock acquired by such employee pursuant to the 2016 Plan will not be sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under such Act, and (ii) that such employee has acquired such shares of Common Stock for the participant’s own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof.
7. RESTRICTIONS
(a) Terms, Conditions and Restrictions. In addition to such other terms, conditions and restrictions as may be imposed by the Committee and contained in the instrument under which awards of Common Stock are made pursuant to the 2016 Plan, (i) no Common Stock so awarded shall be restricted for a period (the "Restriction Period") of less than one year or more than ten years unless otherwise specified by the Committee; and (ii) except as provided in paragraph (e) below, the recipient of the award shall remain in the employ of the Company during the Restriction Period or otherwise forfeit all right, title and interest in and to the shares subject to such restrictions.
(b) Transferability Restriction. No share awarded under the 2016 Plan shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of during the Restriction Period applicable thereto.
(c) Agreements; Stock Legend. As a condition to the grant of an award under the 2016 Plan, each eligible employee selected to participate shall execute and deliver to the Company an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Committee reflecting the conditions and restrictions imposed upon the Common Stock awarded. Certificates for shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to such awards may, if the Committee so determines, bear a legend referring to the restrictions and the instruments to which such awards are subject.
(d) Additional Conditions. In the agreements evidencing awards or otherwise, the Committee may impose such other and additional terms, conditions and restrictions upon the award as it, in its discretion, deems appropriate including, without limitation, that the Company shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind due to the participant, any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the shares awarded.
(e) Lapse of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed under paragraph (a) above shall terminate with respect to the shares of Common Stock to which they apply on the earliest to occur of the following, unless otherwise specified by the Committee:
(i) | the expiration of the Restriction Period; |
(ii) | the participant's total and permanent disability; or |
(iii) | the participant's death. |
2 |
Certificates for shares of Common Stock with respect to which restrictions have lapsed as provided above shall, upon lapse thereof, be released from escrow and delivered to the participant or, in the event of participant's death, to participant's personal representative. Any stock legend referring to the restrictions imposed hereunder shall thereupon be removed.
(f) Change of Control of the Company. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under applicable laws or by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental agencies or national securities exchanges, or unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, any Restriction Period and restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock shall terminate.
For purposes of the 2016 Plan, a "Change in Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if:
(a) any person, as such term is used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, becomes a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under such Act) of 20% or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock;
(b) there occurs within any period of two consecutive years any change in the directors of the Company such that the members of the Company's Board of Directors prior to such change do not constitute a majority of the directors after giving effect to all changes during such two-year period unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company's stockholders, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period; or
(c) the Company is merged, consolidated or reorganized into or with, or sells all or substantially all of its assets to, another company or other entity, and immediately after such transaction less than 80% of the voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such company or other entity immediately after such transaction is held in the aggregate by holders of the Company's Common Stock immediately before such transaction.
In addition, if the Company enters into an agreement or series of agreements or the Board of Directors of the Company adopts a resolution which results in the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, and the employment of a participant is terminated after and as the sole result of the entering into of such agreement or series of agreements or the adoption of such resolution then, upon the occurrence of any of the events described above, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have retroactively occurred on the date of entering into of the earliest of such agreements or the adoption of such resolution and the participants shall be entitled to the delivery as of such date of any forfeited Restricted Stock.
8. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) No Right to Receive Award. Nothing in the 2016 Plan shall be construed to give any employee of the Company any right to receive an award under the 2016 Plan.
(b) Additional Shares Received With Respect to Restricted Stock. Any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company received by an employee as a stock dividend on, or as a result of stock splits, combinations, exchanges of shares, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations or otherwise with respect to shares of Common Stock received pursuant to an award hereunder shall have the same status, be subject to the same restrictions and bear the same legend, if any, as the shares received pursuant to the original award.
(c) Certificates for Shares. Shares of Restricted Stock granted under the 2016 Plan shall be evidenced by certificates. Certificates representing the Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the participant, such certificates shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such shares and the Company shall retain physical possession of the certificate in escrow until all restrictions have been lifted or requirements met.
(d) No Effect on Employment Rights. Nothing in the 2016 Plan or in the instruments evidencing the grant of an award hereunder shall in any manner be construed to limit in any way the right of the Company or a subsidiary to terminate an employee's employment at any time, or give any right to an employee to remain employed by the Company.
3 |
(e) Governing Law. All provisions of the 2016 Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Florida except to the extent preempted by federal law.
(f) No Restriction on Corporate Action. Nothing contained in the 2016 Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any subsidiary from taking any corporate action that is deemed by the Company or such subsidiary to be appropriate or in the best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the 2016 Plan or any shares of Common Stock granted under the 2016 Plan. No employee, non-employee director, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any subsidiary as a result of any such action.
9. EFFECTIVE DATE OF 2016 PLAN
The 2016 Plan shall become effective when approved by the Shareholders of the Company.
10. AMENDMENTS
The Committee may amend or terminate the 2016 Plan without shareholder approval unless shareholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Committee shall not have the right to amend the 2016 Plan to:
(i) | except as provided in paragraph 8(b) of the 2016 Plan, increase the maximum number of shares reserved for purposes of the 2016 Plan; |
(ii) | extend the duration of the 2016 Plan; or |
(iii) | materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the 2016 Plan. |
Any amendment or alteration which impairs the rights of any participant during the Restriction Period is not effective unless written consent from the participant is obtained.
11. DURATION AND TERMINATION
This 2016 Plan shall terminate, and no further stock shall be awarded hereunder, after July 29, 2026. In addition, the Committee may terminate the 2016 Plan at any time prior thereto. The termination of this 2016 Plan shall not, however, affect any restriction previously imposed or restricted stock awarded pursuant to this 2016 Plan.
12. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(B)
The 2016 Plan is intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All transactions involving the Company's executive officers are subject to such conditions, regardless of whether the conditions are expressly set forth in the 2016 Plan. Any provision of the 2016 Plan that is contrary to a condition of Rule 16b-3 shall not apply to executive officers of the Company.

FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO
PETMED EXPRESS, INC. 2016 RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN
THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT is made this _____ day of _________, _____ by and between ________________________ (the "Participant") and PetMed Express, Inc., a Florida corporation, on behalf of itself, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the "Company") pursuant to the Company's 2016 Restricted Stock Plan (the "2016 Plan").
WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting on __________ authorized and directed the Company to make an award of stock to the Participant under the 2016 Plan for the purposes expressed in the 2016 Plan;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual undertakings herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. Grant of Stock. In accordance with the terms of the 2016 Plan and subject to the further terms, conditions and restrictions contained in this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant ______ shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"). As long as the Shares are subject to the Restrictions set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, such shares shall be deemed to be, and are referred to in this Agreement as, the "Restricted Shares."
2. Certificates for Shares. Certificates evidencing Restricted Stock shall be deposited with the Company to be held in escrow until such Shares are released to the Participant or forfeited in accordance with this Agreement. The Participant shall, simultaneously with the delivery of this Agreement, deliver to the Company a stock power, in blank, executed by the Participant. If any Restricted Stock is forfeited, the Company shall direct the transfer agent of the Common Stock to make the appropriate entries in its records showing the cancellation of the certificate or certificates for such Restricted Stock and to return the Shares represented thereby to the Company's treasury.
3. Adjustments in Restricted Stock. In the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of a stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or the like, the Committee shall make equitable adjustments in the Restricted Stock corresponding to adjustments made by the Committee in the number and class of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the 2016 Plan. Any new, additional or different securities to which the Participant shall be entitled in respect of Restricted Stock by reason of such adjustment shall be deemed to be Restricted Stock and shall be subject to the same terms, conditions, and restrictions as the Restricted Stock so adjusted.
4. Restrictions. During applicable periods of restriction determined in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement, Restricted Stock and all rights with respect to such Stock, may not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of and shall be subject to the risk of forfeiture contained in Section 5 of this Agreement (such limitations on transferability and risk of forfeiture being herein referred to as "Restrictions"), but the Participant shall have all other rights of a stockholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote and receive dividends on Restricted Stock, subject to any dividend to be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the 2016 Plan.
5. Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. In the event that the Participant terminates employment with the Company for any reason other than his or her death or permanent disability, such event shall constitute an "Event of Forfeiture" and all Shares which at that time are Restricted Stock shall thereupon be forfeited by the Participant to the Company without payment of any consideration by the Company, and neither the Participant nor any successor, heir, assign or personal representative of the Participant shall have any right, title or interest in or to such Restricted Stock or the certificates evidencing them.
6. Lapse of Restrictions. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) below, the Restrictions on the Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement shall lapse ratably on each of the anniversaries of the date of this Agreement in accordance with the following schedule:
[INSERT TABLE]
5 |
(b) In the event that a Participant's employment with the Company terminates as a result of his or her death or permanent disability, the Restrictions shall lapse on the Restricted Stock (if not already lapsed pursuant to subsection (a) above) on the date of such event.
Upon lapse of the Restrictions in accordance with this Section, the Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, deliver to the Participant, or to the Participant's personal representative, an unrestricted certificate for the Shares with respect to which such Restrictions have lapsed.
(c) In the event of a change in control, as defined in the 2016 Plan, any Restriction Period and restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock shall lapse.
7. Withholding Requirements. The Company shall have the right to withhold from sums due to the Participant, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company in an amount sufficient to satisfy any Federal, state or local withholding tax requirements prior to making such payments or delivering any certificate evidencing such Shares.
8. Effect of Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant the right to continue in the employment of the Company or affect any right which the Company may have to terminate the employment of the Participant.
9. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except with the consent of the Committee and by a written instrument duly executed by the Participant and the Company.
10. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the 2016 Plan, which is annexed hereto, represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof and accepts the award of Shares hereunder subject to all of the terms and conditions thereof and of this Agreement. Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions and interpretations of the Committee upon any questions arising under the 2016 Plan or this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Participant have each executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date first above written.
