NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) Orderly Wind Down and Cessation of Operations As a result of its poor financial performance, lack of adequate trade support to fund its inventory working capital requirements and lack of sufficient financial flexibility and liquidity, on October 16, 2000 (the "Petition Date") Weiner's Stores, Inc. (the "Company") filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 ("Chapter 11") of Title 11 of the United States Code in United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court"). Under Chapter 11, the Company is operating its business as a debtor-in-possession, subject to approval of the Court for certain actions. Additionally, a creditor committee was formed and has the right to review and object to any non-ordinary course of business transactions and participate in the formulation of any plan or plans of reorganization or liquidation. On June 25, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved the orderly wind down of its operations. On June 26, 2001, the Company commenced the process of winding down and ceasing its operating activities, including termination of employees, selling its assets and settling its obligations, including leases. The Company's executive officers, management team and personnel are conducting such activities as are necessary for the orderly wind down. On July 13, 2001, the Court approved the Company's agreement with a third party to conduct store closing sales with respect to the Company's 94 retail outlets remaining as of such date as part of the orderly wind down and cessation of operations. The Company engaged the third party to acquire the inventory and manage the inventory liquidation process in these stores. As of August 4, 2001, all merchantable inventory and substantially all fixtures and equipment in the Company's store locations had been sold. The Company continues to market for sale its wholly owned corporate office/distribution facility and is presenting it at the estimated potential realizable value on the sale of this property. Further, the Company has completed the process of assuming and assigning or rejecting the lease obligations in relation to its store locations. The finalization of this process could further affect the net realizable value of assets and liabilities included in the statement of net assets available for liquidation. (2) Adoption of the Liquidation Basis of Accounting As described in Note 1 above, the Company approved the orderly wind down of its operations and has commenced its liquidation. As a result, the Company has adopted the liquidation basis of accounting for presenting its consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to May 5, 2001. This basis of accounting is appropriate when, among other things, liquidation of a company appears imminent and the net realizable values of its assets are reasonably determinable. Under this basis of accounting, assets are stated at their net realizable values, liabilities are stated at contractual face value and estimated costs through the liquidation date are provided to the extent reasonably determinable. The valuation of assets and liabilities at their estimated net realizable values and anticipated settlement amounts necessarily requires many estimates and assumptions and there are substantial uncertainties in carrying out the orderly wind down of operations. The actual values and costs are expected to differ from the amounts shown herein and could be higher or lower than the amounts recorded. Therefore, it is not presently determinable whether the amounts realizable from the disposition of the remaining assets will be sufficient to satisfy the obligations the Company has to its unsecured creditors. Any differences in realized values and actual cash transactions will be recognized in the period in which they can be reasonably estimated. Further, it is not possible at this time to determine the timing of any such distribution. In adopting the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company recorded a $10,058,000 charge for the loss on the sale of inventory to a third party liquidator. Further, the Company has reflected a charge of $13,259,000 for the net write off of furniture and fixtures and other assets related to the Company's 97 stores remaining as of June 2001 and corporate office/distribution center facility. These adjustments reflect immediate liquidation of the Company's assets rather than the realization of these assets through the ordinary course of its operations. 8 The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments that management considers necessary to present fairly the net assets available for liquidation of the Company as of November 3, 2001, and the changes in its net assets available for liquidation for the period from May 6, 2001 through November 3, 2001. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of February 3, 2001 and the statement of operations and cash flows for the thirteen-week period ended May 5, 2001 are presented on a going concern basis reflecting the Company's actual operations prior to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2001 and related notes which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2001. Accordingly, significant accounting policies and other disclosures necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted since such items are reflected in the Company's audited financial statements and related notes thereto. (3) Long-Term Debt On October 16, 2000, in conjunction with the Company's filing under Chapter 11, the Company entered into a two-year, $35,000,000 Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the "DIP Credit Agreement") which included a $15,000,000 sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit. The DIP Credit Agreement was a revolving credit facility that was secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The DIP Credit Agreement provided that proceeds could be used solely in the ordinary course of business and for other general corporate purposes during the Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings. Borrowings under the DIP Credit Agreement bore interest at the reference rate thereunder plus 0.75% or, at the option of the Company, the Eurodollar Rate thereunder plus 2.75%. On July 17, 2001, in conjunction with the orderly wind down of operations and the engagement of a third party to manage the inventory liquidation of the Company, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under and retired the DIP Credit Agreement. (4) Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities Accrued expenses include estimates of costs to be incurred in the orderly wind down and cessation of operations of the Company, provisions for known liabilities, and provisions for certain asserted and unasserted claims as of November 3, 2001. The accrued costs include salaries and related expenses of officers and employees assigned to effect the sales and carry out the wind down of operations and legal and accounting fees expected to be incurred during the period of liquidation. (5) Leases Under its Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company has the right, subject to Court approval, to assume or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases. In this context, "assumption" means that the Company agrees to perform its obligations under the contract or lease but is subject to a claim of damages for the breach thereof. With respect to the orderly wind down of operations, the Company, with Court approval, engaged a third party to market substantially all of its unexpired leases. Those leases, which were successfully sold, were assigned to and assumed by the purchasing parties, with Court approval. The remaining unexpired leases were rejected and may be subject to a claim of damages for breach thereof. (6) Stock Based Awards In conjunction with the orderly wind down of operations, all stock options issued by the Company under the Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and the Company's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan will be forfeited effective as of the termination date of the affected participants. 9 (7) Income Taxes The Company provides United States federal income taxes based on its estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year. No income tax provision was recorded in either the first thirteen week or first twenty-six week periods of 2001 or 2000. The recognition of income tax benefits is affected by limitations on the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards. (8) Earnings Per Share Net loss per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and equivalent shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding is as follows: November 3, 2001 -------------------- Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding 18,509,710 Common stock equivalent - shares issuable under the stock incentive plans - -------------------- Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding assuming full dilution 18,509,710 ==================== The Company has determined that none of its common stock had appreciated beyond the underlying exercise price of the option based on the most recent trading activity as of November 3, 2001 (resulting in no dilution for the earnings per share computations). AFTER THE ORDERLY WIND DOWN OF OPERATIONS THERE WILL BE NO CASH TO DISTRIBUTE TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "seek," "estimate," "project," "will," "could," "may" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of Weiner's Stores, Inc. (the "Company") with respect to future events and financial performance and include, without limitation, statements regarding the timing and outcome of the sale of the Company's assets, its liquidation and any distribution therefrom. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, ultimate values realizable for unsold assets, adjustments to sale prices, collection of deferred payments on sales of assets, post-closing indemnification obligations relating to sales, costs and expenses relating to the wind down of the Company's operations, including income taxes, conversion of the Company's bankruptcy proceedings to a liquidation under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code, and the nature and amount of any unknown contingent liabilities, as well as general economic and business conditions, changes in foreign, political, social and economic conditions, regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental regulations, and various other matters, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Report and the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include additional factors that could adversely affect the Company's future financial performance. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, estimated or otherwise indicated. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Report are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effect on the Company or its business, operations or financial performance. The Company does not undertake and expressly disclaims 10 any obligation to publicly update or revise any such forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that the projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized. ORDERLY WIND DOWN OF OPERATIONS As a result of the Company's poor financial performance, lack of adequate trade support to fund its inventory working capital requirements and lack of sufficient financial flexibility and liquidity, on October 16, 2000 (the "Petition Date") the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 ("Chapter 11") of Title 11 of the United States Code in United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court"). Under Chapter 11, the Company is operating its business as a debtor-in-possession, subject to approval of the Court for certain actions. Additionally, a creditor committee was formed and has the right to review and object to any non-ordinary course of business transactions and participate in the formulation of any plan or plans of reorganization or liquidation. On June 25, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved the orderly wind down of its operations. On June 26, 2001, the Company commenced the process of winding down and ceasing its operating activities, including termination of employees, selling its assets and settling its obligations, including leases. The Company's executive officers, management team and personnel are conducting such activities as are necessary for the orderly wind down. On July 13, 2001, the Court approved the Company's agreement with a third party to conduct store closing sales with respect to the Company's 94 retail outlets remaining as of such date as part of the orderly wind down and cessation of operations. The Company engaged the third party to acquire the inventory and manage the inventory liquidation process in these stores. As a result, the Company has recorded a $10,058,000 charge for the loss on the sale of inventory to a third party liquidator. Further, the Company has reflected a charge of $13,259,000 for the net write off of furniture and fixtures and other assets related to the Company's 97 stores remaining as of June 2001 and the Company's corporate office/distribution center facility. These store closings resulted in the elimination of 2,700 positions. Under its Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company has the right, subject to Court approval, to assume or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases. In this context, "assumption" means that the Company agrees to perform its obligations under the contract or lease but is subject to a claim of damages for the breach thereof. With respect to the orderly wind down of operations, the Company, with Court approval, engaged a third party to market substantially all of its unexpired leases. Those leases, which were successfully sold, were assigned to and assumed by the purchasing parties, with Court approval. The remaining unexpired leases were rejected and may be subject to a claim of damages for breach thereof. Until a plan of liquidation is confirmed by the Court and becomes effective, it is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate recoveries for creditors, or the timing of any such distribution of recoveries. While management currently believes the Company has made adequate provision for the liabilities to be incurred in connection with Chapter 11 claims, there can be no assurance as to the final amount of such liabilities or the final impact on such liabilities of a confirmed plan of liquidation. As of November 3, 2001, no plan of reorganization or liquidation had been submitted to the Court. Substantially all of the Company's pre-petition liabilities are subject to compromise under the bankruptcy proceedings. As of November 3, 2001, all merchantable inventory and substantially all fixtures and equipment in the Company's store locations had been sold. The Company continues to market for sale its wholly owned corporate office/distribution facility and is presenting it at the estimated potential realizable value on the sale of this property. The valuation of assets and liabilities at their estimated net realizable values and anticipated settlement amounts necessarily requires many estimates and assumptions and there are substantial uncertainties in carrying out the orderly wind down of operations. The actual values and costs are expected to differ from the amounts shown herein and could be higher or lower than the amounts recorded. Therefore, it is not presently determinable whether the amounts realizable from the disposition of the remaining assets will be sufficient to satisfy the obligations the Company has to its unsecured creditors. Any differences in realized values and actual cash transactions will 11 be recognized in the period in which they can be reasonably estimated. Further, it is not possible at this time to determine the timing of any such distribution. AFTER THE ORDERLY WIND DOWN OF OPERATIONS THERE WILL BE NO CASH TO DISTRIBUTE TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS DISCONTINUATION OF OPERATIONS As previously discussed, the Company is currently in the process of effecting an orderly wind down of operations. Based on a continued deterioration of the core business of the Company and the erosion of profits attributed to Tropical Storm Allison in early June, management of the Company advised the Company's Board of Directors and creditors committee that management believed that liquidation would provide the best means to recover amounts due to the Company's creditors. The Board of Directors unanimously approved the orderly wind down of the Company's operations on June 25, 2001. The Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting for the second fiscal quarter of 2001. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable values and liabilities are stated at their anticipated settlement amounts. The valuation of assets and liabilities at their estimated net realizable values and anticipated settlement amounts necessarily requires many estimates and assumptions and there are substantial uncertainties in carrying out the orderly wind down of operations. The actual values and costs are dependent upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the actual proceeds realizable from the sale of the Company's assets, the ultimate settlement amounts of the Company's liabilities and obligations, actual costs incurred in connection with the orderly wind down of operations and administrative costs during the liquidation period, the timing of the potential filing and confirmation of a liquidating Chapter 11 plan and the timing of any distributions to creditors. Consequently, the actual values and costs are expected to differ from the amounts shown herein and could be higher or lower than the amounts recorded. Therefore, it is not presently determinable whether the amounts realizable from the disposition of the remaining assets will be sufficient to satisfy the obligations the Company has to its unsecured creditors. Any differences in realized values and actual cash transactions will be recognized in the period in which they can be reasonably estimated. Further, it is not possible at this time to determine the timing of any such distribution. The Company has not yet filed a liquidating Chapter 11 plan with the Court. Once a liquidating Chapter 11 plan has been finalized and filed with the Court, the plan must be submitted to a vote of the Company's creditors for their approval and confirmed by the Court. There can be no assurance that a liquidating Chapter 11 plan filed by the Company will receive the requisite votes or confirmation. Until a liquidating Chapter 11 plan has been confirmed, the liquidation has been completed and all claims against the Company fixed, the Company is not able to determine or predict the amount that will be available to pay its prepetition creditors. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES DIP Credit Agreement On October 16, 2000, in conjunction with the Company's filing under Chapter 11, the Company entered into a two-year, $35,000,000 Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the "DIP Credit Agreement") which included a $15,000,000 sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit. The DIP Credit Agreement was a revolving credit facility that was secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The DIP Credit Agreement provided that proceeds could be used solely in the ordinary course of business and for other general corporate purposes during the Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings. Borrowings under the DIP Credit Agreement bore interest at the reference rate thereunder plus 0.75% or, at the option of the Company, the Eurodollar Rate thereunder plus 2.75%. 12 On July 17, 2001, in conjunction with the orderly wind down of operations and the engagement of third party to manage the inventory liquidation of the Company, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under and retired the DIP Credit Agreement. The Company expects its sources of liquidity during the liquidation process to be proceeds from the sale of the Company's inventory to a third party, the sale of certain of the Company's operating leases, the sale of the Company's furniture and fixtures and the sale of the Company's corporate office and distribution center. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Not Applicable. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On October 16, 2000, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 in United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Under Chapter 11, the Company is operating its business as a debtor-in-possession, subject to approval of the Court for certain actions. In addition, the Company is party to ordinary routine litigation, arbitration and proceedings incidental to its business, the disposition of which is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition. Due to the Company's filing under Chapter 11, certain of such cases have been stayed pursuant to the automatic stay issued by the Court.
