Item 1.   BUSINESS
 
Overview
 
FTD Group, Inc., formerly Mercury Man Holdings Corporation, is a Delaware corporation that was formed in 2003 by Green Equity Investors IV, L.P., a private investment fund affiliated with Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., solely for the purpose of acquiring majority ownership of FTD, Inc.
 
FTD, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that commenced operations in 1994 and includes the operations of its principal operating subsidiary, Florists’ Transworld Delivery, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“FTD” or the “Operating Company”). The operations of FTD include those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, FTD.COM INC. (“FTD.COM”), FTD Canada, Inc. (formerly known as Florists’ Transworld Delivery Association of Canada, Ltd.) and Interflora.
 
Secondary Offering
 
On March 12, 2007, the Company closed its underwritten secondary public offering of 6,000,000 shares of common stock. The underwriters exercised in full their over-allotment option for an additional 900,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $17.50 per share, less underwriting discounts. Of the shares sold, 6,285,900 shares were sold by affiliates of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. and 614,100 shares were sold by members of management. As a result of the secondary offering, affiliates of

Table of Contents

Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. control less than a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock. As a result, the Company is no longer a “controlled company” within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange rules and, thus, is required to have a board of directors comprised of a majority of independent directors and nominating and compensation committees composed entirely of independent directors. The Company will phase in these corporate governance requirements by March 11, 2008. See Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for further detail.
 
Acquisition of Interflora
 
On July 31, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Interflora, a U.K. based provider of floral-related products and services to consumers and retail floral locations in the U.K and the Republic of Ireland. Interflora is an internationally recognized brand and utilizes the same Mercury Man logo as the Company. Interflora provides various products and services to its members and also markets flowers directly to consumers in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland through both Interflora’s Web site at www.interflora.co.uk and a toll-free telephone number. Founded in 1923, Interflora was originally operated as an unincorporated association, which was incorporated in February 2005. As a result of the Interflora acquisition, the Company also acquired majority control of Interflora, Inc., in which the Company previously had a 33.3% interest. Interflora, Inc. was formed in 1946 and is an international clearinghouse for flowers-by-wire order exchanges between its members. Interflora, Inc. is also the owner of the “Interflora” trademark, in respect of which the Company is the exclusive licensee in a number of jurisdictions around the world. See “Trademarks” below. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for additional information regarding the Interflora acquisition.
 
Sale of Renaissance Greeting Cards Assets
 
On December 21, 2005, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Renaissance Greeting Cards, Inc. (“Renaissance”). See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for further detail. Prior to the sale, the operations of Renaissance were included in the florist segment in the consolidated financial statements.
 
2005 Initial Public Offering (“IPO”)
 
On February 14, 2005, the Company closed the sale of 13,100,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $13.00 per share in a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering. In addition, on that date, 2,307,693 shares of Common Stock were sold at the public offering price to Green Equity Investors IV, L.P., the Company’s principal stockholder and an affiliate. On March 15, 2005, the Company closed the sale of 435,200 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price to satisfy the underwriter’s over-allotment option. The offering was effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-120723), which the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective on February 8, 2005. See Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for further detail.
 
On February 7, 2005, the stockholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares to 75,000,000, as well as a 1-for-3 reverse stock split. All common share and per share amounts reflect this reverse stock split.
 
2004 Going Private Transaction with Nectar Merger Corporation, an Affiliate of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P.
 
On February 24, 2004, the Company completed a going private transaction with an affiliate of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. (the “2004 Going Private Transaction”). In the transaction, Nectar Merger Corporation, which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mercury Man Holdings Corporation, merged with and into FTD, Inc., with FTD, Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation. As a result of the 2004 Going Private Transaction, the Company ceased to have its equity publicly traded and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mercury Man Holdings Corporation, an affiliate of Green Equity Investors IV, L.P., a private investment fund affiliated with Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. The results of operations presented herein for all periods prior to the

Business
 
FTD Group, Inc. is a leading provider of floral and specialty gift products and services to consumers and retail florists, as well as other retail locations offering floral products, in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland. The business utilizes the highly recognized FTD and Interflora brands, both supported by the Mercury Man logo, which is displayed in approximately 45,000 floral shops worldwide. The Company conducts its business through three operating segments: the consumer segment, the florist segment and the international segment.
 
The consumer segment operates primarily through the www.ftd.com Web site in the U.S. and Canada. As a result of the Company’s same-day delivery capability and broad product selection, the Company’s consumer segment is one of the largest direct marketers of floral arrangements and specialty gifts in the U.S., generating 4.6 million orders from consumers in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
 
The florist segment provides a comprehensive suite of products and services that enable FTD members to send and deliver floral orders. This suite of products and services is also designed to promote revenue growth and enhance the operating efficiencies of FTD members in the U.S. and Canada.
 
The international segment was added as a result of the acquisition of Interflora on July 31, 2006. Interflora generated 1.8 million orders from consumers in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Interflora also provides products and services to its network of members in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland.
 
The Company’s consumer and florist businesses are highly complementary, as floral orders generated by the consumer businesses are delivered by the network of members. Management believes that the Company’s strong brand name recognition, complementary florist and consumer businesses, extensive customer database of floral and specialty gift consumers, network of FTD and Interflora members and international footprint provide the Company with competitive advantages.
 
Consumer Segment
 
The consumer segment is an Internet and telephone marketer of flowers and specialty gift items to consumers, operating in the U.S. and Canada, primarily through the www.ftd.com Web site, in addition to the 1-800-SEND-FTD toll-free telephone number. The Company offers floral arrangements for florist delivery as well as specialty gift items which are delivered via common carrier, including boxed flowers, plants, gourmet food gifts, holiday gifts, bath and beauty products, jewelry, wine and gift baskets, dried flowers and stuffed animals.
 
Consumers place orders at the www.ftd.com Web site or over the telephone, which are then transmitted to florists or third-party specialty gift providers for processing and delivery. The Internet is the primary channel for orders, representing 90.3% of total order volume during the year ended June 30, 2007. Through its network of FTD members, the Company is able to offer same-day delivery to nearly 100% of U.S. and Canadian populations. Additionally, the consumer segment routes floral orders through an international network of floral retailers enabling next-day delivery in over 150 countries. Through third-party manufacturers and distributors, the Company offers next-day delivery of direct ship orders throughout the United States. The consumer segment has very low working capital requirements because FTD members and specialty gift providers generally maintain physical inventory and bear the cost of warehousing and distribution facilities. In addition, consumers generally pay for floral and specialty gift orders before the Company pays florists and specialty gift providers to deliver them. The consumer segment does not own or operate any retail locations.
 
For the year ended June 30, 2007, the consumer segment generated revenues of $287.6 million, representing 46.9% of the Company’s total revenues for this period.

Florist Segment
 
The florist segment provides a comprehensive suite of products and services that enable FTD members to send and deliver floral orders. This suite of products and services is also designed to promote revenue growth and enhance the operating efficiencies of FTD members. The Company provides these services to its network of independent members located primarily in the U.S. and Canada, which includes traditional retail florists as well as other retailers offering floral products.
 
The Company provides FTD members with access to the FTD brand and the Mercury Man logo, supported by various advertising campaigns, order clearinghouse services (which eliminate counterparty credit risks between sending and receiving FTD members), a quarterly directory publication of FTD members, credit card processing services, e-commerce Web site development and maintenance, online advertising tools and a 24-hour telephone answering and order-taking service. In addition, the Company provides the Floral Selections Guide, a counter display published by FTD, featuring FTD products for all occasions. The Company’s members pay for these services through monthly dues and activity-based fees, such as per order charges. Through the Company’s proprietary Mercury Network, members electronically transmit orders and send messages to other FTD members, for which the Company receives monthly fees in addition to per-order and per-message fees.
 
The Company sells basic software and hardware for transmitting and receiving orders, as well as software and hardware that provide full back-end systems to manage a member’s business. The Company also acts as a national wholesaler to FTD members, providing FTD-branded and non-branded hard goods and cut flowers as well as packaging, promotional products and a wide variety of other floral-related supplies. During holiday seasons such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Christmas, the Company designs specialized floral bouquets with exclusive FTD containers and features these exclusive FTD products in advertising and on the heavily trafficked www.ftd.com Web site.
 
Revenues in the florist segment are driven by the strength of the Company’s brand, the comprehensive suite of products and services and the Company’s strong relationships with its FTD members. Approximately 75% of florist segment revenues in fiscal 2007 were derived from membership, service and other monthly fees. Florist segment revenues are derived primarily from the top half of the Company’s membership base. As a result and because the mix of membership is changing as the Company adds more supermarket members and seeks to add mass merchants, the Company no longer considers the absolute number of members to necessarily be indicative of segment performance. The Company focuses primarily on the penetration of goods and services sold to FTD members. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the florist segment generated revenues of $182.0 million, representing 29.7% of the Company’s total revenues for this period.
 
International Segment
 
The international segment is primarily comprised of Interflora, which has both a florist and a consumer business. Interflora is an internationally recognized brand and utilizes the same Mercury Man logo as FTD. Similar to FTD, Interflora previously operated as an unincorporated association until its incorporation and conversion to a “for-profit” organization in February 2005. Interflora markets floral products and specialty gifts direct to consumers in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland through both the www.interflora.co.uk Web site and a toll-free telephone number and provides various products and services to its members. For the eleven months that it was owned by the Company during the year ended June 30, 2007, the international segment generated revenues of $143.4 million, representing 23.4% of the Company’s total revenues for the fiscal year.
 
Seasonality
 
In view of seasonal variations in the revenues and operating results of the Company’s consumer, florist and international segments, the Company believes that comparisons of its revenues and operating results for any period with those of the immediately preceding period, or in some instances, the same period of the preceding fiscal year may be of limited relevance in evaluating the Company’s historical performance and


5


Table of Contents

predicting the Company’s future financial performance. The Company’s working capital, cash and short-term borrowings also fluctuate during the year as a result of the factors set forth below.
 
The Company generated 18%, 25%, 30% and 27% of its total revenue in the quarters ended September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30 of fiscal year 2007, respectively. The Company’s quarterly revenue and operating results typically exhibit seasonality. For example, revenue and operating results tend to be lower for the quarter ending September 30 because none of the most popular floral and gift holidays, which include Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, fall within that quarter. In addition, depending on the year, Easter and the U.K. Mother’s Day sometimes fall within the quarter ending March 31 and sometimes fall within the quarter ending June 30.
 
Trademarks
 
The Company’s intellectual property portfolio includes service marks, trademarks and collective trademarks that distinguish the services and products offered by the Company or its members from those offered by other companies.
 
The “FTD” word mark and the “Mercury Man” logo are registered in the United States, Canada and other jurisdictions throughout the world for various products and services. These marks are used directly by the Company or under license by FTD members.
 
Other registered trademarks and service marks of the Company include “Florists’ Transworld Delivery,” “Mercury” and “Mercury Network.” The Company also has registered collective trademarks, which are used under license by its members for floral products and related items. These collective trademarks include “Autumn Splendor,” “Big Hug,” “Birthday Party,” “Chicken Soup,” “Sweet Dreams,” and “Thanks A Bunch.” In addition, the Company has applied to register certain other trademarks, service marks and collective trademarks in the United States and other countries, and likely will seek to register additional marks, as appropriate. It is possible that some of these applications to register additional marks will not result in registrations.
 
The Company also uses various marks under license, including the “Interflora” mark, owned by Interflora, Inc., a corporation in which the Company owns a controlling interest as a result of its acquisition of Interflora. The Company is the exclusive licensee to use this mark in North America and South America, as well as Japan, South Korea, the Philippine Islands and Taiwan. In addition, as a result of the Interflora acquisition, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is the exclusive licensee to use the “Interflora” mark in Australia, China, Great Britain, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa and a number of other countries. However, because of the intellectual property laws of certain of these jurisdictions, there may be impediments to exploiting this license.
 
Competition
 
The Company competes in the extremely fragmented floral services industry with a large number of wholesalers, service providers and direct marketers of flowers and specialty gifts. The principal competitors of the Company’s consumer segment are 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and ProFlowers.com, owned by Liberty Media Corporation, which offer some similar floral and specialty gift items to consumers through their Web sites and toll-free telephone numbers. Additionally, Teleflora LLC (“Teleflora”) has a presence in the floral direct marketing portion of the consumer segment market.
 
The principal competitors of the Company’s florist segment are Teleflora and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. FTD, Teleflora and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. are the largest floral service providers in the United States based on membership. Teleflora and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. offer some products and services that are similar to those offered by the Company, and florists may subscribe to all of these competing services.
 
The principal competitors of the international segment’s florist business are Teleflorist and Flowers Direct. Teleflorist and Flowers Direct offer some products and services that are comparable to those offered by the Company; however florists may subscribe to only one of these competing wire-service providers. The

principal competitors for the international segment’s consumer business include Marks & Spencer, Tesco and John Lewis.
 
Employees
 
At June 30, 2007, the Company employed approximately 984 full-time employees. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good. None of the Company’s employees are currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
 
Financial Information about Segments
 
Financial and other information by segment relating to the Company’s operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is set forth in Note 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.
 
Available Information
 
The Company files annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Item 1A.   RISK FACTORS
 
Our business, operating results, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors including, but not limited to those set forth below. Any one of these factors could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or future anticipated results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our future anticipated results.
 
Market competition among the Company’s existing and potential competitors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The consumer markets for flowers and specialty gifts are highly competitive and fragmented, and the products the Company offers can be purchased from numerous sources. In the Company’s consumer and international segments, the Company competes with traditional florists and gift retailers, as consumers choose whether to give their business to a traditional florist, specialty gift retailer or a direct marketer. After a consumer has chosen a direct marketer, the Company further competes with other floral and specialty gift direct marketers, including those that use Web sites, toll free telephone numbers and catalogs. The competitors for the consumer segment include direct marketers, such as 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Proflowers.com, owned by Liberty Media Corporation. Additionally, Teleflora has also established a direct marketing service for floral items on its www.teleflora.com Web site. The competitors for the consumer portion of the international segment include Marks & Spencer, Tesco and John Lewis.
 
Although less fragmented, within the market that provides services and goods to retail floral locations, the Company’s florist segment and international segment also face competition. Management believes that the florist segment, Teleflora and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. are the largest floral wire-service providers in the U.S. based on membership. Teleflora and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. offer some products and services that are similar to those offered by the Company, and florists may subscribe to all of these competing services. Management also believes that the international segment, Teleflorist and Flowers Direct are the largest floral

Table of Contents

wire-service providers in the U.K. based on membership. Teleflorist and Flowers Direct offer some products and services that are comparable to those offered by the Company; however florists may subscribe to only one of these competing services.
 
Competition in the Internet commerce channel of distribution may intensify, as the nature of the Internet as a marketplace facilitates competitive entry and comparative shopping. Some of the Company’s existing and potential competitors may have significant competitive advantages over the Company, including larger customer bases and greater technical expertise, brand recognition or Internet commerce experience. In addition, some of the Company’s existing and potential competitors may be able to devote significantly greater resources to marketing campaigns, attracting traffic to their Web sites, call centers and system development. They also may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than the Company can to new or changing opportunities, technological developments or customer requirements. In addition, the Company expects competition to continue to increase, particularly in the consumer segment and the consumer portion of the international segment, because there are few barriers to entry into the floral and specialty gift businesses and because of the relative ease with which new Web sites can be developed. Moreover, traditional retailers and other companies engaged in Internet commerce, including Internet portal companies, may seek to become direct marketers of floral products. Increased competition may result in lower revenues due to price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to compete successfully or that competitive pressures will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company’s revenues and operating results fluctuate on a seasonal basis and may suffer if revenues during peak seasons do not meet the Company’s expectations.
 
The Company’s business is seasonal and the Company’s quarterly revenue and operating results typically exhibit seasonality. For example, revenue and operating results tend to be lower for the quarter ending September 30 because none of the most popular floral and gift holidays, which include Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, fall within that quarter. In addition, depending on the year, Easter and the U.K. Mother’s Day sometimes fall within the quarter ending March 31 and sometimes fall within the quarter ending June 30.
 
The Company’s operating results may suffer if revenues during its peak seasons do not meet expectations, as the Company may not generate sufficient revenue to offset increased costs incurred in preparation for peak seasons. The Company’s working capital, cash and short-term borrowings also fluctuate during the year as a result of the factors set forth above. Moreover, the operational risks described elsewhere in these risk factors may be significantly exacerbated if the events described therein were to occur during a peak season.
 
The Company is dependent on its strategic relationships to help promote the Company’s consumer Web sites; failure to establish, maintain or enhance these relationships could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company believes that its strategic relationships with leading Internet portal companies, other online retailers and direct marketers are critical to attract customers, facilitate broad market acceptance of the Company’s products and brands and enhance its sales and marketing capabilities. A failure to maintain existing strategic relationships or to establish additional relationships that generate a significant amount of traffic from other Web sites could limit the growth of the Company’s business. Establishing and maintaining relationships with leading Internet portal companies, other online retailers and direct marketers is competitive and expensive. The Company may not successfully enter into additional strategic relationships. In addition, the Company may not be able to renew existing strategic relationships beyond their current terms or may be required to pay significant fees to maintain and expand these strategic relationships. Further, many Internet portal companies, other online retailers and direct marketers that the Company may approach to establish an advertising presence or with whom it already has an existing relationship may also provide advertising services for the Company’s competitors. As a result, these companies may be reluctant to enter into, maintain or expand a strategic relationship with the Company. The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may suffer if it fails to enter into new strategic relationships, or maintain or expand


8


Table of Contents

existing strategic relationships, or if these strategic relationships do not result in traffic on the Company’s Web sites sufficient to justify their costs.
 
In addition, the Company is subject to many risks beyond its control that influence the success or failure of its strategic relationships. For example, traffic to the Company’s consumer Web sites could decrease if the traffic to the Web site of an Internet portal company on which the Company advertises decreases or if the Internet portal companies become direct marketers of floral products. If any of the Internet portal companies, other online retailers or direct marketers with whom the Company has strategic relationships experience financial or operational difficulties that materially and adversely effect their ability to satisfy their obligations under their agreements with the Company, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
 
The Company is dependent on third parties who fulfill orders and deliver goods and services to its customers and their failure to provide the Company’s customers with high quality products and customer service may harm the Company’s brand and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company believes that its success in promoting and enhancing its brand depends on the Company’s success in providing its customers high quality products and a high level of customer service. The Company’s business depends, in part, on the ability of its network of independent FTD and Interflora members and third-party suppliers who fulfill the Company’s orders to do so at high quality levels. The Company works with FTD and Interflora members and third-party suppliers to develop best practices for quality assurance; however, the Company does not directly control or continuously monitor any FTD or Interflora member or third-party supplier. Since the Company does not have constant, direct control over these FTD or Interflora members and third-party suppliers, issues regarding the quality of flowers, as well as interruptions or delays in product fulfillment may be difficult or impossible to remedy in a timely fashion. The failure of the Company’s network of FTD and Interflora members or third-party suppliers to fulfill orders to the Company’s customers’ satisfaction, at an acceptable quality level and within the required timeframe, could cause the Company to lose customers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Additionally, as the Company depends upon third parties for delivery of goods to its customers, strikes or other service interruptions affecting these shippers could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to deliver merchandise on a timely basis. A disruption in any of the Company’s shippers’ ability to deliver its products could cause the Company to lose customers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company’s success is dependent on the intellectual property that it uses.
 
The Company regards the “FTD” trademark, the “Mercury Man” logo, the “FTD.COM” and the “Interflora.co.uk” Internet domain names and the other service marks, trademarks, and other intellectual property that it uses in its business as being critical to the Company’s success. Since 1994, the Company and its subsidiaries have applied for the registration of and have been issued trademark registrations for more than 120 trademarks and service marks used in the Company’s business in the U.S. and various foreign countries; however, in some other countries, there are certain pre-existing and potentially conflicting trademark registrations held by third parties. The Company relies on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and license and other agreements with employees, customers and others to protect the Company’s intellectual property rights. In addition, the Company may also rely on the third-party owners of the intellectual property rights it licenses to protect those rights. The Company licenses some of its intellectual property rights, including the Mercury Man logo, to third parties. The steps taken by the Company and those third parties to protect the Company’s intellectual property rights may not be adequate, and other third parties may infringe or misappropriate its intellectual property rights. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Furthermore, the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property in Internet-related industries are uncertain and still evolving.

The Company is also subject to the risk of claims alleging that its business practices infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. These claims could result in lengthy and costly litigation. Moreover, resolution of any such claim against the Company may require the Company or one of its subsidiaries to obtain a license to use the intellectual property rights at issue or possibly to cease using those rights altogether. Any of those events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Computer systems or telephone services failures could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company currently depends on third parties to develop, host and maintain its consumer Web sites and to provide telephone services for its toll-free telephone numbers. If these third parties experience system failures as a result of failing to adequately maintain their systems or otherwise, the Company would experience interruptions and its customers might not continue to utilize the Company’s services. There can be no assurance that the Company’s resources to maintain the systems that support its consumer Web sites or its toll-free telephone numbers will be sufficient. In addition, the Company owns systems, including the order fulfillment networks, the order processing and customer service systems, which provide communication to the Company’s fulfilling florists and third party suppliers and consumer order services. The Company may experience interruptions in service due to failures by these systems. The continued and uninterrupted performance of the Company’s computer systems is critical to the success of its business strategy. Unanticipated problems affecting those systems could cause interruptions in the Company’s services. Any damage or failure that interrupts or delays operations may dissatisfy customers and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Significant loss of FTD or Interflora members or a decrease in average revenue per member could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company currently provides a suite of products and services to FTD and Interflora members. If the Company suffers a significant loss of members and/or is not able to maintain or increase the average revenue per member, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected.
 
The Company may be unable to increase capacity or introduce enhancements to its consumer Web sites or its toll-free telephone numbers in a timely manner or without service interruptions.
 
A key element of the Company’s strategy is to generate a high volume of traffic on its consumer Web sites and its toll-free telephone numbers. However, the Company may not be able to accommodate all of the growth in user demand through its consumer Web sites or through its toll-free telephone numbers. The Company’s inability to add additional hardware and software to upgrade its existing technology or network infrastructure to accommodate in a timely manner increased traffic to its consumer Web sites or increased volume through its toll-free telephone numbers, may cause decreased levels of customer service and satisfaction. Failure to implement new systems effectively or within a reasonable period of time could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company also regularly introduces additional or enhanced features and services to retain current customers and attract new customers to its consumer Web sites. If the Company introduces a feature or a service that is not favorably received, the Company’s current customers may not use its consumer Web sites as frequently, or the Company may not be successful in attracting new customers. The Company may also experience difficulties that could delay or prevent it from introducing new services and features. Furthermore, these new services or features may contain errors that are discovered only after they are introduced. The Company may need to significantly modify the design of these services or features to correct errors. If customers encounter difficulty with or do not accept new services or features, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Failure to comply with governmental privacy regulations, governmental enforcement of privacy policy statements and security breaches could harm the Company’s Internet business.
 
The Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, has proposed regulations regarding the collection and use of personal information obtained from individuals when accessing Web sites, with particular emphasis on access by minors. In addition, other governmental authorities have proposed regulations to govern the collection and use of personal information that may be obtained from customers or visitors to Web sites. These regulations may include requirements that procedures be established to disclose and notify users of the Company’s www.ftd.com Web site of the Company’s privacy and security policies, obtain consent from users for collection and use of personal information and provide users with the ability to access, correct or delete personal information stored by the Company. In addition, the FTC has made inquiries and investigations of companies’ practices with respect to their users’ personal information collection and dissemination practices to confirm these are consistent with stated privacy policies and to determine whether precautions are taken to secure consumer’s personal information. The FTC has made inquiries, and in a number of situations, brought actions against companies to enforce the privacy policies of these companies, including policies relating to security of consumers’ personal information.
 
Becoming subject to the FTC’s regulatory and enforcement efforts or to those of another governmental authority could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to collect demographic and personal information from users, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on its marketing efforts, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the adverse publicity regarding the existence or results of an investigation could have an adverse impact on customers’ willingness to use the Company’s Web site and thus could adversely impact the Company’s future revenues.
 
The Company must also comply with data protection and privacy laws in the United Kingdom, including the Data Protection Act 1998. If the Company or any of the third party services on which it relies fails to transmit customer information and payment details in a secure manner, if they otherwise fail to protect customer privacy in online transactions or if they transfer personal information outside the European Economic Area without complying with certain required conditions, then the Company risks being exposed to civil and criminal liability in the United Kingdom, usually in the form of fines, as well as claims from individuals alleging damages as a result of the alleged non-compliance. The Company may also be required to alter its data practices. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Security on the Internet requires having in place reasonable measures to protect against foreseeable risks and keeping technology and procedures up to date. While the Company’s www.ftd.com Web site uses licensed encryption and authentication technology to effect secure transmission of confidential information, including credit card and debit card numbers, it cannot guarantee that its security measures and procedures will prevent security breaches. It is possible that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries or other developments could result in a compromise or breach of the technology the Company uses to protect customer transaction data. Since secure transmission of confidential information over the Internet is essential in maintaining consumer confidence in its www.ftd.com Web site, substantial or ongoing security breaches of the Company’s system or other Internet-based systems could significantly harm the Company’s Internet business. While the Company’s www.ftd.com Web site has not experienced any material security breaches, any penetration of network security or other misappropriation of the Company’s users’ personal information could subject the Company to liability. The Company could be held liable for claims based on unauthorized purchases with credit card or debit card information, impersonation or other similar fraud claims. Claims could also be based on other misuses of personal information, such as unauthorized marketing activities. These claims could result in litigation and financial liability. Security breaches could also damage the Company’s reputation and expose the Company to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability.
 
The Company may also incur substantial expense to protect against and remedy security breaches and their consequences. A party that is able to circumvent the Company’s security systems could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in operations. The Company’s insurance policies’ limits may not be adequate to reimburse the Company for losses caused by security breaches.

The Company may be unable to effectively market its international fulfillment capabilities to consumers and a decline in the quality of orders sent abroad could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
As part of its business strategy, the Company intends to continue to market to consumers who may be interested in sending flowers to a recipient abroad. This international aspect of the Company’s business is subject to the risk of inconsistent quality of merchandise and disruptions or delays in delivery because these foreign florists may not necessarily adhere to the same quality control standards as FTD and Interflora members who fulfill orders. If consumers choose not to place subsequent orders with the Company because they were not satisfied with the results of an order they sent abroad, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company’s business could be injured by significant credit card or debit card fraud.
 
Orders placed through the Company’s consumer Web sites or toll-free telephone numbers typically are paid for using a credit card or debit card. The Company’s revenues and gross margins could decrease if it experienced significant credit card or debit card fraud. Failure to adequately detect and avoid fraudulent credit card or debit card transactions could cause the Company to lose its ability to accept credit cards or debit cards as forms of payment and result in charge-backs of the fraudulently charged amounts. Furthermore, widespread credit card or debit card fraud may lessen the Company’s customers’ willingness to purchase products through the Company’s consumer Web sites or toll-free telephone numbers. As a result, such failure could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company is exposed to the credit risk of FTD and Interflora members.
 
When an FTD or Interflora member fulfills an order from an originating member, the Company becomes liable to the fulfilling member for payment on the order, even if the Company does not receive payment from the originating member. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to the credit risk of FTD and Interflora members. Although it reserves for this exposure, the Company cannot be sure that the exposure will not be greater than it anticipates. An increase in the exposure, coupled with material instances of default, in the aggregate, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Slowdowns in general economic activity may detrimentally impact consumer spending on flowers and other products the Company sells which would have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company’s business may be sensitive to the business cycle of the national economy. Consumer spending on flowers and specialty gifts may be influenced by general economic conditions and the availability of discretionary income. A decline in general economic conditions may have a material adverse effect on demand for the Company’s products, which could cause sales of the Company’s products to decrease, or result in a shift to lower margin products. There can be no assurances that future economic conditions will be favorable to the floral and specialty gifts markets. A decline in the demand for the Company’s products due to deteriorating economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
If the supply of flowers, or any other perishable product the Company offers for sale, becomes limited, the price of these products could rise or these products may become unavailable, which could result in the Company not being able to meet consumer demand, which could cause an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Many factors, such as weather conditions, agricultural limitations and restrictions relating to the management of pests and disease, affect the supply of flowers and the price of the Company’s floral products. If the supply of flowers available for sale is limited, prices of flowers could rise, which could cause customer demand for the Company’s floral products to be reduced and its revenues and gross margins to decline.

Table of Contents

Alternatively, the Company may not be able to obtain high quality flowers in an amount sufficient to meet customer demand. Even if available, flowers from alternative sources may be of lesser quality and/or may be more expensive than those currently offered by the Company. A large portion of the supply of flowers is sourced from countries such as Colombia, Ecuador and Holland.
 
The availability and price of these products could be affected by a number of other factors affecting suppliers, including:
 
  •  severe weather;
 
  •  import duties and quotas;
 
  •  time-consuming import regulations or controls at airports;
 
  •  changes in trading status;
 
  •  economic uncertainties and currency fluctuations;
 
  •  foreign government regulations and political unrest;
 
  •  governmental bans or quarantines; or
 
  •  trade restrictions, including U.S. retaliation against foreign trade practices.
 
The operating and financial success of the Company’s business is dependent on the financial performance of the retail floral industry.
 
The operating and financial success of the Company’s business has been and is expected to continue to be dependent on the financial performance of the retail floral industry. There can be no assurance that the retail floral industry will not decline, that consumer preferences for, and purchases of, floral products will not decline, or that retail florist revenues or inter-city floral delivery transactions will not decline in absolute terms. A sustained decline in the sales volume of the retail floral industry could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Future governmental regulation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company purchases perishable products from suppliers in foreign countries, which subjects it to various federal, state and local government regulations, including regulations imposed by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. These agencies, other federal, state or local food regulatory authorities or authorities in jurisdictions outside the United States in which the Company operates may require the Company to make changes to its importation procedures and sales and handling operations. These changes may increase the Company’s cost of operations or the Company may not be able to make the requested governmental changes or obtain any required permits, licenses or approvals in a timely manner, or at all. Failure to make requested changes or to obtain or maintain a required permit, license or approval could cause the Company to incur substantial compliance costs and delay the availability of, or cancel, certain product offerings. In addition, any inquiry or investigation from a regulatory authority could have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation. The occurrence of any of these events could harm the Company’s business and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Government regulations and legal uncertainties relating to the Internet and online commerce could negatively impact the Company’s Internet business.
 
Regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates relating to the Internet and online commerce are rapidly evolving. Currently, there are few laws or regulations directly applicable to the Internet or online commerce on the Internet, and the laws governing the Internet that exist remain largely unsettled. New laws and regulations governing the Internet could dampen growth in use of the Internet for commerce. In


13


Table of Contents

addition, applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights and other intellectual property issues, libel, obscenity and personal privacy is uncertain. The vast majority of those laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and related technologies and, as a result, do not expressly contemplate or address the unique issues presented by the Internet and related technologies. Further, growth and development of online commerce have prompted calls for more stringent consumer protection laws. The adoption or modification of laws or regulations applicable to the Internet could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Internet operations. The Company is also subject to regulations not specifically related to the Internet, including laws affecting direct marketers and advertisers.
 
In addition, in the U.S., several telecommunications carriers have requested that the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, regulate telecommunications over the Internet. Due to the increasing use of the Internet and the burden it has placed on the current telecommunications infrastructure, telephone carriers have requested the FCC to regulate Internet service providers and impose access fees on those providers. If the FCC imposes access fees, the costs of using the Internet could increase dramatically, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Internet operations.
 
International, federal, state and local governments may attempt to impose additional sales and use taxes, value added taxes or other taxes on the business activities conducted by the Company, including its past sales, which could decrease the Company’s ability to compete with traditional retailers, reduce its sales and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
In accordance with current industry practice by domestic floral and specialty gift direct marketers and the Company’s interpretation of applicable law, the Company collects and remits U.S. sales taxes only with respect to deliveries made in a limited number of states where it has a physical presence. If U.S. states successfully challenge this practice and impose sales and use taxes on orders delivered in states where the Company does not have physical presence, it could incur substantial tax liabilities for past sales and lose sales in the future. In addition, future changes in the operation of the Company’s online and telephonic sales channels could result in the imposition of additional sales and use tax obligations. Moreover, a number of states, as well as the U.S. Congress, have been considering various legislative initiatives that could result in the imposition of additional sales and use taxes on sales over the Internet, which if enacted could require the Company to collect additional sales and use taxes. The imposition of sales or use tax liability for past or future sales could decrease the Company’s ability to compete with traditional retailers and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
 
In 1998, the Internet Tax Freedom Act was enacted, which generally placed a three-year moratorium on state and local taxes on Internet access and on multiple or discriminatory state and local taxes on electronic commerce. This moratorium was extended until November 1, 2007. The Company cannot predict whether this moratorium will be extended in the future or whether future legislation will alter the nature of the moratorium. If this moratorium is not extended in its current form, state and local governments could impose additional taxes on Internet-based transactions, and these taxes could decrease the Company’s ability to compete with traditional retailers which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, if the moratorium is not extended in its current form, state and local governments could impose additional taxes on Internet access. This could result in the reduced use of the Internet as a medium for commerce, which could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s Internet business operations.
 
In accordance with current industry practice by international floral and specialty gift direct marketers and the Company’s interpretation of applicable law, the Company collects and remits value added taxes on consumer orders placed through Interflora. Future changes in the operation of the Company’s international segment could result in the imposition of additional tax obligations. Moreover, if an international taxing authority challenges the current practice or implements new legislative initiatives, additional taxes on sales over the Internet could be due by the Company. The imposition of an additional tax liability for past or future sales could decrease the Company’s ability to compete with traditional retailers which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

The Company may not successfully integrate future acquisitions, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company may seek to expand its business through, among other things, acquisitions of other assets and/or businesses. However, the Company cannot assure you that it will succeed in:
 
  •  completing future acquisitions;
 
  •  integrating acquired operations into its existing operations; or
 
  •  expanding into new markets.
 
In addition, any acquisition by the Company may have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, particularly in the fiscal quarters immediately following the completion of these acquisitions as the Company works to integrate its operations with those of the acquired business. Further, once integrated, acquired companies may not achieve levels of revenues, profitability or productivity comparable with those achieved by the Company’s existing operations, or otherwise perform as expected.
 
During peak periods, the Company utilizes temporary employees and outsourced staff, who may not be as well-trained or committed to its customers as its permanent employees, and their failure to provide the Company’s customers with high quality customer service may cause the Company’s customers not to return, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company depends on its customer service department to respond to its customers should they have questions or problems with their orders. During peak periods, the Company relies on its permanent employees, as well as temporary employees and outsourced staff to respond to customer inquiries. These temporary employees and outsourced staff may not have the same level of commitment to the Company’s customers or be as well trained as its permanent employees. If the Company’s customers are dissatisfied with the quality of the customer service they receive, they may not shop with the Company again, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The Company has substantial indebtedness and may incur additional indebtedness, which may restrict its operations and impair the Company’s ability to meet its obligations.
 
The Company has indebtedness that is substantial in relation to its stockholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2007, the Company and its subsidiaries had $313.7 million of outstanding indebtedness, including notes payable of $1.7 million related to the Interflora acquisition, and $261.8 million of stockholders’ equity. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, interest expense totaled $28.2 million. In addition, subject to restrictions in the indenture governing the Company’s 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”), and restrictions contained in the agreements governing FTD, Inc.’s senior credit facility, the Company and its subsidiaries may incur additional indebtedness.
 
The degree to which the Company and its subsidiaries are leveraged and have high interest expense may have important consequences, including the following:
 
  •  the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, business development efforts and general corporate or other purposes may be impaired;
 
  •  a substantial portion of the Company’s cash flows from operations will be dedicated to the payment of interest and principal on its indebtedness, thereby reducing funds available for other purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, business development efforts and general corporate or other purposes;
 
  •  the Company’s operations are restricted by its debt instruments, which contain material financial and operating covenants, and those restrictions may limit, among other things, the Company’s ability to


15


Table of Contents

  borrow money in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, business development efforts and general corporate or other purposes;
 
  •  the Company’s leverage may place it at a competitive disadvantage as compared with its less leveraged competitors;
 
  •  the Company’s substantial degree of leverage will make it more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in general economic conditions or its business; and
 
  •  the Company’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and the industry in which it operates may be limited.
 
The Company’s ability to service its indebtedness and other obligations depends on the Company’s operating performance, which, in turn, is affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond its control.
 
The Company’s ability to service its indebtedness and other obligations depends on its operating performance, which, in turn, is affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond its control. The Company’s business may not generate sufficient cash flows, and future financings may not be available to provide sufficient funds, in order to meet these obligations or to successfully execute the Company’s business strategies. As a result, there could be an event of default under the Company’s indebtedness and other obligations, which, in turn, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
 
A portion of the Company’s debt obligations bear interest at variable rates, which makes it vulnerable to increases in interest rates.
 
Approximately 45.2% (or $141.9 million aggregate principal amount) of the Company’s $313.7 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness as of June 30, 2007 bore interest at variable rates. If interest rates increase materially, then the Company may experience material increases in its level of interest expense which, in turn, could adversely affect its results of operations.
 
Restrictions in FTD, Inc.’s debt instruments limit FTD, Inc.’s ability to take certain actions and breaches thereof could impair the Company’s liquidity.
 
FTD, Inc.’s senior credit facility and the indenture governing the Notes contain covenants that restrict FTD, Inc.’s ability to, among other things:
 
  •  redeem or repurchase capital stock;
 
  •  incur additional indebtedness and grant liens;
 
  •  make acquisitions and joint venture investments;
 
  •  pay dividends;
 
  •  sell assets; and
 
  •  make capital expenditures.
 
FTD, Inc.’s senior credit facility also requires FTD, Inc. to comply with financial covenants relating to, among other things, fixed charge coverage and leverage. FTD, Inc. may not be able to satisfy these covenants in the future and the Company may not be able to pursue its strategies within the constraints of these covenants.
 
FTD, Inc.’s senior credit facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company and FTD, Inc.’s existing and future, direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. FTD, Inc.’s senior credit facility and guarantees are secured by first priority security interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all of FTD, Inc.’s and FTD, Inc.’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible assets and


16


Table of Contents

first priority pledges of all the equity interests owned by the Company in FTD, Inc. and owned by FTD, Inc. in its existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the equity interests owned by FTD, Inc. in its existing and future non-domestic subsidiaries, including Interflora.
 
A breach of a covenant contained in the agreements governing the Notes or FTD, Inc.’s senior credit facility could result in an event of default under one or more of these agreements. Such breaches could permit the lenders under FTD, Inc.’s senior credit facility to declare all amounts borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, and the commitments of such lenders to make further extensions of credit could be terminated. In addition, the maturity date of FTD, Inc.’s outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes could be accelerated and all amounts due and owing under such Notes could become due and payable. Either of these actions would materially and adversely impair the Company’s liquidity. In addition, the lenders under the senior credit facility could foreclose on the collateral securing this facility.
 
The Company’s profitability is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk.
 
The Company participates in transactions which are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to the British Pound, the Canadian dollar and the Euro. Accordingly, the Company’s profitability is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. For more information, see “Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
 
Green Equity Investors IV, L.P. has significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interest of the Company’s other stockholders.
 
As of June 30, 2007, Green Equity Investors IV, L.P., and an affiliate, both of which are affiliates of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., beneficially owned approximately 32.0% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. As a result, Green Equity Investors IV, L.P. and its affiliate may exert substantial influence over FTD’s corporate and management policies and may limit other FTD stockholders’ ability to influence FTD’s corporate and management policies.
 
The Company is a holding company and its access to the cash flows of its subsidiaries is subject to restrictions and the satisfaction of certain financial conditions, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.
 
The Company is a holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiary, FTD, Inc., and it does not have and may not in the future have any material assets other than the common stock of FTD, Inc. The Company conducts its operations through FTD, Inc. The Company’s available cash will depend upon the cash flows of FTD, Inc. and the ability of FTD, Inc. to make funds available to the Company in the form of loans, dividends or otherwise. The indenture governing the Notes and FTD, Inc.’s senior credit facility each impose substantial restrictions on FTD, Inc.’s ability to pay dividends to the Company and any payment of dividends is subject to the satisfaction of certain financial conditions. However, the ability of FTD, Inc. and its subsidiaries to comply with these conditions may be affected by events that are beyond the Company’s control. The Company expects any future borrowings by FTD, Inc. to contain similar restrictions or prohibitions on the payment of dividends by FTD, Inc. and its subsidiaries to the Company.

Ohio. Subsequent to the sale of Renaissance in December 2005, the Company remained the lessee of the Sanford, Maine location, but currently subleases the space to the current Renaissance owner.
 
In addition, in connection with the Company’s July 2006 acquisition of Interflora, the Company acquired Interflora’s corporate office in Sleaford, England and assumed Interflora’s lease of a call center facility in Nottingham, England.
 
The Company’s management believes that its facilities are adequate for its current operations.
 
Item 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits and other matters arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company, although the outcome of these claims and suits are uncertain, they should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Item 7.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s plans, estimates and beliefs. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to any differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed under the caption “Forward-Looking Information” and under Item 1A — “Risk Factors”.
 
Overview
 
FTD Group, Inc. is a leading provider of floral-related products and services to consumers and retail florists, as well as other retail locations offering floral products, in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland. The business utilizes the highly recognized FTD and Interflora brands, both supported by the Mercury Man logo, which is displayed in approximately 45,000 floral shops worldwide. The Company conducts its business through three operating segments: the consumer segment, the florist segment and the international segment.
 
Consumer Segment.  The consumer segment is an Internet and telephone marketer of flowers and specialty gift items to consumers, operating in the U.S. and Canada primarily through the www.ftd.com Web site, in addition to the 1-800-SEND-FTD toll-free telephone number. The Company offers floral arrangements for florist delivery as well as specialty gift items which are delivered via common carrier, including boxed flowers, plants, gourmet food gifts, holiday gifts, bath and beauty products, jewelry, wine and gift baskets, dried flowers and stuffed animals.
 
Consumers place orders at the www.ftd.com Web site or over the telephone, which are then transmitted to florists or third-party specialty gift providers for processing and delivery. The Internet is the primary channel for orders, representing 90.3% of total order volume during the year ended June 30, 2007. Through its network of FTD members, the Company is able to offer same-day delivery to nearly 100% of U.S. and Canadian populations. Additionally, the consumer segment routes floral orders through an international network of floral retailers enabling next-day delivery in over 150 countries. Through third-party manufacturers and distributors, the Company offers next-day delivery of direct ship orders throughout the United States. The consumer segment has very low working capital requirements because FTD members and specialty gift providers

Table of Contents

generally maintain physical inventory and bear the cost of warehousing and distribution facilities. In addition, consumers generally pay for floral and specialty gift orders before the Company pays florists and specialty gift providers to deliver them. The consumer segment does not own or operate any retail locations.
 
For the year ended June 30, 2007, the consumer segment generated revenues of $287.6 million, representing 46.9% of the Company’s total revenues for this period.
 
Florist Segment.  The florist segment provides a comprehensive suite of products and services that enable FTD members to send and deliver floral orders. This suite of products and services is also designed to promote revenue growth and enhance the operating efficiencies of FTD members. The Company provides these services to its network of independent members located primarily in the U.S. and Canada, which includes traditional retail florists as well as other retailers offering floral products.
 
The Company provides FTD members with access to the FTD brand and the Mercury Man logo, supported by various advertising campaigns, order clearinghouse services (which eliminate counterparty credit risks between sending and receiving FTD members), a quarterly directory publication of FTD members, credit card processing services, e-commerce Web site development and maintenance, online advertising tools and a 24-hour telephone answering and order-taking service. In addition, the Company provides the Floral Selections Guide, a counter display published by FTD, featuring FTD products for all occasions. The Company’s members pay for these services through monthly dues and activity-based fees, such as per order charges. Through the Company’s proprietary Mercury Network, members electronically transmit orders and send messages to other FTD members, for which the Company receives monthly fees in addition to per-order and per-message fees.
 
The Company sells basic software and hardware for transmitting and receiving orders, as well as software and hardware that provide full back-end systems to manage a member’s business. The Company also acts as a national wholesaler to FTD members, providing FTD-branded and non-branded hard goods and cut flowers as well as packaging, promotional products and a wide variety of other floral-related supplies. During holiday seasons such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Christmas, the Company designs specialized floral bouquets with exclusive FTD containers and feature these exclusive FTD products in advertising and on the heavily trafficked www.ftd.com Web site.
 
Revenues in the florist segment are driven by the strength of the Company’s brand, the comprehensive suite of products and services and the Company’s strong relationships with its FTD members. Approximately 75% of florist segment revenues in fiscal 2007 were derived from membership, service and other monthly fees. Florist segment revenues are derived primarily from the top half of the Company’s membership base. As a result and because the mix of membership is changing as the Company adds more supermarket members and seeks to add mass merchants, the Company no longer considers the absolute number of members to necessarily be indicative of segment performance. The Company focuses primarily on the penetration of goods and services sold to FTD members. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the florist segment generated revenues of $182.0 million, representing 29.7% of the Company’s total revenues for this period.
 
International Segment.  The international segment is primarily comprised of Interflora, which has both a florist and a consumer business. Interflora is an internationally recognized brand and utilizes the same Mercury Man logo as FTD. Similar to FTD, Interflora previously operated as an unincorporated association until its incorporation and conversion to a “for-profit” organization in February 2005. Interflora markets floral products and specialty gifts direct to consumers in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland through both the www.interflora.co.uk Web site and a toll-free telephone number and provides various products and services to its members. For the eleven months that it was owned by the Company during the year ended June 30, 2007, the international segment generated revenues of $143.4 million, representing 23.4% of the Company’s total revenues for the fiscal year.
 
Key Industry Trends.  The Company believes key trends in the floral retail market include the increasing role of floral direct marketers, particularly those marketing floral products over the Internet, which has resulted in increased orders for delivery placed through floral direct marketers versus traditional retail florists, consumer purchasing of “cash and carry” flowers continuing to shift away from traditional retail florists to

Table of Contents

supermarket and mass merchant retail locations, the increasing dependence of traditional retail florists on wire-services to provide incoming order volume lost to Internet, supermarket and mass merchant retailers and the expansion of product offerings by traditional retail florists and direct marketers to include specialty gift items. The principal trends are addressed through the consumer segment, the florist segment and the international segment business strategies.
 
Business Strategy.  The Company plans to continue to direct consumers to the Company’s www.ftd.com and www.interflora.co.uk Web sites for their floral and specialty gift purchasing needs, as processing orders over the Internet is a profitable order generating vehicle for the Company and an efficient and convenient ordering method for the consumer. The Company plans to add new consumers by continuing to expand existing marketing efforts, focusing on highly trafficked Internet sites as well as continued growth and focus on numerous customer affinity programs. The Company also plans to pursue growth in additional specialty gift categories and expansion of its existing categories, as management believes that the Company’s marketing expertise and brand strength allows the business to attract a wide range of quality specialty gift manufacturers. Additionally, management believes that lower-priced floral products are a significant portion of the market and, accordingly, the Company plans to continue refining its offerings in this area to meet consumer demand.
 
The Company plans to continue to drive product and service offering penetration and continue to attract florists to its FTD and Interflora networks through continued improvements in product and service offerings that increase revenue and reduce costs for members. The Company is currently pursuing opportunities to expand its presence in a number of channels that have not historically represented a meaningful portion of the Company’s revenues, such as the supermarket channel and other mass market channels.
 
In addition to funding working capital needs and capital expenditures, the Company plans to use available cash generated from operations to service and reduce its indebtedness, pay dividends to shareholders and may repurchase shares of its Common Stock pursuant to its share repurchase program, which expires on September 30, 2007. The Company believes that its current capital resources, including cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and funds available from its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to finance its operations and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Revenues increased by $147.9 million, or 31.8%, to $613.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006 of $465.1 million. The Company acquired Interflora on July 31, 2006 and reports its results within the Company’s international segment. The international segment accounted for $143.4 million of the increase in revenue for the year ended June 30, 2007. Growth in the Company’s domestic consumer segment of $11.8 million, partially offset by a decline in the Company’s domestic florist segment of $7.4 million, contributed to the remaining increase.
 
The consumer segment achieved revenues of $287.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006 of $275.8 million, representing a 4.3% increase. Growth was driven by a 1.8% increase in order volume which totaled 4.6 million orders for the year ended June 30, 2007, up from 4.5 million orders for the year ended June 30, 2006 and a 1.5% increase in average order value in fiscal year 2007 which was $61.31 compared to $60.38 in fiscal year 2006. Internet orders were 90.3% of

Table of Contents

total orders for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to 90.1% for the year ended June 30, 2006. Advertising revenue contributed $6.2 million of revenue in fiscal 2007, an increase of $2.6 million versus fiscal 2006.
 
Revenues for the florist segment decreased by $7.4 million, or 3.9% to $182.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006 of $189.4 million. The decline in revenues was primarily due to the December 2005 sale of Renaissance, which contributed $3.9 million of revenues in fiscal year 2006, and the elimination of certain customers.
 
The international segment achieved revenues of $143.4 million for the eleven months ended June 30, 2007. Consumer orders in the international segment totaled 1.8 million during the period, with an average order value of $64.78. Internet orders comprised 71.0% of the total consumer order volume for the period.

Total gross margin for the year ended June 30, 2007 was 41.0%, compared to 43.5% for the year ended June 30, 2006.
 
Costs of goods sold and services provided associated with the consumer segment increased by $3.0 million, or 1.5%, to $203.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $200.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. Gross margin for the consumer segment increased to 29.3% for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to 27.3% for the year ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase in average order values and advertising revenue. Savings in product guarantee expense due to process improvements also contributed to the increase.
 
Costs of goods sold and services provided associated with the florist segment decreased by $2.5 million, or 4.2%, to $57.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $60.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. Gross margin for the florist segment remained relatively consistent with the prior year at 68.4% for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to 68.3% for the year ended June 30, 2006.

Costs of goods sold and services provided related to corporate activities remained relatively consistent at $2.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $2.2 million for year ended June 30, 2006. These costs were related to the development and maintenance of internal corporate technology platforms supporting both the florist and consumer segments.

Advertising and selling costs increased by $5.3 million, or 6.0%, to $94.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to advertising and selling costs for the year ended June 30, 2006 of $89.1 million. As a percentage of revenue, advertising and selling costs decreased to 15.4% for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to 19.2% for the year ended June 30, 2007. This decrease is primarily related to the addition of the international segment which has lower advertising spending than the domestic businesses.
 
Advertising and selling costs associated with the consumer segment increased slightly to $36.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $35.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. Advertising and selling costs as a percentage of revenue associated with the consumer segment for the year ended June 30, 2007 were 12.6% compared to 13.0% for the year ended June 30, 2006.
 
Advertising and selling costs associated with the florist segment decreased by $5.5 million, or 10.3%, to $47.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $53.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in rebates which are earned by FTD members under a customer incentive program, the sale of Renaissance during the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, planned cost reductions and a shift to more efficient member marketing programs.
 
Advertising and selling costs associated with the international segment totaled $10.6 million, or 7.4% of international segment revenue, for the eleven months ended June 30, 2007.

General and administrative costs increased by $26.9 million, or 51.6%, to $79.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $52.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2006.
 
General and administrative costs associated with the consumer segment increased by $2.8 million, or 14.0%, to $22.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $19.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. The increase in general and administrative costs for the consumer segment was primarily due to investment spending in the consumer segment’s technology infrastructure, including increased headcount and an increase in amortization expense associated with technology improvements put in service over the last year. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense was an increase in salaries and headcount in other administrative areas. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative costs increased to 7.9% from 7.2% in the prior fiscal year.
 
General and administrative costs associated with the florist segment increased by $1.8 million, or 26.8%, to $8.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $6.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2006.

As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative costs increased to 4.6% from 3.5% in the prior fiscal year. General and administrative costs for the florist segment for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 were reduced by a $1.0 million gain related to the sale of Renaissance in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 and a $1.6 million gain related to the settlement of the class action lawsuit entitled In Re: Visacheck/Mastermoney Antitrust Litigation in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Additionally, general and administrative costs were lower in the year ended June 30, 2007 as a result of the sale of Renaissance.
 
General and administrative costs associated with the international segment were $21.4 million, or 14.9% of revenue for the eleven months ended June 30, 2007.
 
Corporate general and administrative costs increased by $1.0 million, or 3.9%, to $26.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $25.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2007. The increase in corporate general and administrative costs is primarily related to an increase in salaries and stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease in legal and insurance costs in the current year period.

Interest income increased $1.0 million, to $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $0.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to increased cash balances during the year ended June 30, 2007 and an increase in interest rates in fiscal year 2007.
 
Interest expense increased $8.8 million, to $28.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $19.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. The increase is due to an increase in outstanding indebtedness during the current year period resulting from the purchase of Interflora as well as a $1.8 million write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the repayment of the Company’s previous credit facility.
 
Other income, net was $0.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $0.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. The current year income was primarily due to foreign currency exchange gains, partially offset by the costs related to the March 2007 secondary stock offering.

The growth in order volume was the primary factor for the $28.7 million, or 11.6% increase in revenues for the consumer segment to $275.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to $247.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2005.

2006, from 4.1 million orders for the year ended June 30, 2005. Internet orders were 90.1% of total orders for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to 87.2% for the year ended June 30, 2005. Average order value in fiscal year 2006 was $60.38 compared to $60.67 in fiscal year 2005. Additionally, the Company began a new initiative in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, which generated $3.6 million of advertising revenue for the fiscal year.
 
Revenues for the florist segment decreased by $1.3 million, or 0.7% to $189.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to revenues for the year ended June 30, 2005 of $190.7 million. The decline in revenues was primarily due to the December 2005 sale of Renaissance, which contributed $5.5 million of revenues in the last half of fiscal year 2005, in addition to lower sales resulting from the elimination of certain unprofitable specialty wholesaling products. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in Florists’ Online revenues, fresh flower sales and technology system sales.

Gross margin for the consumer segment increased to 27.3% for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to 25.7% for the year ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to an increase in specialty gift orders and the addition of advertising revenue.

Gross margin for the florist segment increased to 68.3% for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to 67.5% for the year ended June 30, 2005, partially due to the elimination of certain unprofitable specialty wholesaling products.
 
Costs of goods sold and services provided related to corporate activities remained relatively consistent at $2.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $2.3 million for year ended June 30, 2005.

Advertising and selling costs increased by $3.7 million, or 4.4%, to $89.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to advertising and selling costs for the year ended June 30, 2005 of $85.4 million. There were no advertising and selling costs related to corporate activities.
 
Advertising and selling costs associated with the consumer segment increased by $6.8 million, or 23.5%, to $35.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $29.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase in advertising and selling costs was primarily related to higher online advertising costs due to an increase in average cost per order as well as greater order volumes. Contributing to the increase in cost per order was increased competition for key words in search-oriented advertising.
 
Advertising and selling costs associated with the florist segment decreased by $3.1 million, or 5.5%, to $53.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $56.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of Renaissance during the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, a decrease in national advertising expense and a decrease in rebates, which are earned by FTD members under a customer incentive program, partially offset by an increase in technology selling expenses due to the increase in headcount of the Company’s technology sales force.

General and administrative costs associated with the consumer segment increased by $2.8 million, or 16.6%, to $19.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $17.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The increase in general and administrative costs for the consumer segment was primarily due to increased customer service costs, primarily related to an increase in order volume, an increase in technology costs, primarily related to an increase in amortization expense and an increase in merchandising costs primarily related to an increase in headcount.
 
General and administrative costs associated with the florist segment decreased by $3.6 million, or 35.1%, to $6.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $10.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in general and administrative costs for the florist segment was primarily due to the $1.0 million gain and lower general and administrative costs, both related to the sale of Renaissance in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, a reduction in depreciation expense as certain assets of the florist business have become fully depreciated, and the $1.6 million gain related to the settlement of the class action lawsuit entitled In Re: Visacheck/Mastermoney Antitrust Litigation in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006.
 
Corporate general and administrative costs and management fees decreased by $11.8 million, or 31.5%, to $25.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $37.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. There were no management fees payable during the year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in corporate general and administrative costs and management fees is primarily related to a decrease in expense related to a management services agreement with Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. of $13.9 million, which included a $12.5 million fee for the termination of the management services agreement which occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2005. This was partially offset by a gain recorded in fiscal year 2005 related to the reimbursement of defense costs from the Company’s insurance carrier related to the lawsuit with Teleflora LLC, an increase in public company costs since the IPO and an increase in compensation costs due to the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.

Interest income increased $0.3 million, to $0.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $0.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to increased cash balances during the year ended June 30, 2006.
 
Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, to $19.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $20.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The decrease was due to a lower amount of outstanding indebtedness during 2006 and a prepayment penalty which was incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 in connection with the redemption of FTD’s 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014. This reduction in interest expense was partially offset by higher interest rates.
 
Interest expense and prepayment fees related to the preferred stock was $34.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The Company’s preferred stock was redeemed in full using the proceeds from the IPO and as such, there is no interest expense or prepayment fees on shares subject to mandatory redemption for the year ended June 30, 2006.
 
Other income, net was $0.4 million for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and was primarily related to foreign currency exchange gains.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $14.5 million to $25.5 million at June 30, 2007 from $11.0 million at June 30, 2006.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $48.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2007 and $40.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily driven by increased net income, which includes the results of Interflora for the year ended June 30, 2007. Net cash provided by operating activities continues to be a primary source of funds to finance operating needs and capital expenditures, repay indebtedness, pay dividends and make other strategic investments, such as share repurchases.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $103.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, which included $96.7 million of net cash outlay for the Interflora acquisition and $7.8 million of capital expenditures, primarily related to continued technology developments and improvements.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $5.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, which consisted of $8.8 million related to capital expenditures for depreciable fixed assets, such as furniture and equipment, of $3.9 million and capital expenditures for amortizable intangibles, such as costs related to the development and implementation of internal use software and other technology costs, of $4.9 million, offset by $3.5 million of proceeds received from the sale of Renaissance.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $68.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, which primarily consisted of $148.5 million of net proceeds received from FTD, Inc.’s senior secured credit facility (the “2006 Credit Agreement”), offset by $50.0 million of repayments under the 2004 Credit Agreement and $8.1 million of repayments under the 2006 Credit Agreement. Net cash proceeds from the 2006 Credit Agreement were used to fund the acquisition of Interflora and repay the outstanding balance under the 2004 Credit Agreement. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company repaid


30


Table of Contents

$23.1 million of notes payable related to the acquisition of Interflora. The Company also paid $4.7 million in dividends during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
 
Net cash used in financing activities was $33.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, which consisted principally of $19.0 million of long-term debt repayments made during the period, consisting of $1.3 million in scheduled principal repayments and $17.7 million of voluntary repayments, and $15.0 million used for the purchase of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s stock repurchase program.
 
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations and funds available for borrowing under the 2006 Credit Agreement which replaced the 2004 Credit Agreement and provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $225.0 million, consisting of a seven-year $150.0 million term loan and a six-year $75.0 million revolving credit facility. The 2004 Credit Agreement originally provided for aggregate borrowings of up to $135.0 million which consisted of a five-year $50.0 million revolving credit facility and a seven-year $85.0 million term loan, which was used in connection with the 2004 Going Private Transaction. As of June 30, 2007, the balance of the term loan under the 2006 Credit Agreement was $141.9 million. The Company also had notes payable related to the acquisition of Interflora of $1.7 million and an additional $1.1 million in outstanding letters of credit. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are used to finance working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and letter of credit needs. At June 30, 2007, $72.2 million of the revolving credit facility was available.
 
The 2006 Credit Agreement includes covenants which, among other things, required that as of June 30, 2007, FTD, Inc. maintain a certain ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (subject to certain adjustments), as well as a fixed charge coverage ratio. FTD, Inc. was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2007.
 
In addition to its debt service obligations, the Company’s remaining liquidity requirements are primarily for working capital needs and capital expenditures. The Company believes, based on current circumstances, that its existing and future cash flows from operations, together with borrowings under the 2006 Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs, capital expenditures and to make interest and principal payments as they become due under the terms of the long-term debt indebtedness for the foreseeable future.
 
On February 20, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1625 per share. The dividend was paid on April 2, 2007 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 19, 2007. Additionally, on April 24, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1625 per share. The dividend was paid on July 6, 2007 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 22, 2007. The continued payment of cash dividends in the future is at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and depends on numerous factors, including without limitation, the Company’s net earnings, financial condition, availability of capital, continued compliance with the requirements of the Company’s 2006 Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes and other business needs.
 
On October 25, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program totaling $30 million, effective through September 30, 2007. These purchases may be made from time to time in both open market and private transactions, dependent upon market and other conditions. The Company may repurchase shares pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, which would generally permit the Company to repurchase shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so under U.S. federal securities laws. In fiscal year 2006, the Company repurchased a total of 1.5 million shares of common stock under this plan for $15.0 million. No shares were repurchased under this program during the year ended June 30, 2007. The Company currently does not anticipate repurchasing additional shares under this plan.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
 
Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, include its more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
 
See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for a detailed discussion of these and other accounting policies.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s consumer businesses generally recognize 100% of the order value as revenue and recognize the associated costs of goods sold and services provided when the order is delivered. The Company’s consumer businesses recognize revenue on a gross basis, as opposed to a net basis similar to a commission arrangement, because the Company bears the risks and benefits associated with the revenue-generating activities by: (1) acting as a principal in the transaction; (2) establishing prices; (3) being responsible for


32


Table of Contents

fulfillment of the order; (4) taking the risk of loss for collection, delivery and returns; and (5) marketing the products, among other things. If the relative amounts of risks and rewards borne by the Company associated with processing orders were to change in the future, the Company’s reporting policy related to revenue recognition and costs of goods sold and services provided could change. Shipping and service fees charged to customers are recognized at the time the products are delivered to the customer and are included in total revenues. Shipping costs are included cost of goods sold and services provided.
 
Revenues generated by the florist businesses of the Company for processing orders through the clearinghouse are recorded in the month in which the orders are delivered. Revenues for other services related to the processing of such orders, including equipment rentals and transmission charges, are recorded in the period in which the service is provided. Sales of floral-related hard goods are recorded when the products are shipped. Revenues relating to publications are recognized ratably over the period for which the publications are effective. Revenues associated with FTD Florists’ Online Web site hosting and advertising services, and Flowers All Hours are recorded in the period in which the service is provided.
 
The Company also sells computer equipment and software to FTD members. The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” With Respect to Certain Transactions. SOP 97-2 requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements (e.g., software products, upgrades/enhancements, post-contract customer support, installation and training) to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. The Company recognizes revenue from hardware products which are sold without a software component at the time of shipment. For sales including software products, the related hardware on which the software is loaded, installation and training revenues are recognized when all required elements have been delivered and/or customer acceptance has occurred. For systems that are being leased, the Company recognizes hardware and software revenue ratably over the period of the lease agreement. Support revenue is recognized over the period in which the support services are provided.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s creditworthiness, as determined by the Company’s review of current credit information. In certain circumstances the Company may require deposits from its customers. The Company regularly monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated losses based upon historical experience and specific customer collection issues that it has identified. The Company’s policy for determining past due balances is based on when the original billing was incurred. Trade receivables are written off when all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted, including, but not limited to, external third party collection efforts and litigation. While such credit losses have historically been within management’s expectations and the provisions established, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to experience the same credit loss rates as in the past. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances for doubtful accounts may be required. In fiscal years 2007 and 2006, no individual customer comprised 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated revenues. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.4 million and $4.4 million at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Goodwill and Intangibles
 
The Company reviews goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles may not be recoverable. The evaluation is based upon the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units compared to the sum of the carrying value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The estimated fair value is determined based on market capitalization, discounted cash flow analysis or a combination of both methodologies. The assumptions used in the valuations include expectations regarding future operating performance, discount rates, control premiums and other factors which are subjective in nature. Actual cash flows from operations could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in


33


Table of Contents

business conditions, operating performance and economic conditions. Should estimates differ materially from actual results, the Company may be required to record impairment charges in the future.
 
Deferred Income Taxes
 
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and establishes a valuation allowance based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that it believes is more likely than not to be realized. While the Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance, in the event the Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides a company with the option to measure selected financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. The election may be applied on an item by item basis, with disclosure regarding reasons for partial election and additional information about items selected for fair value option. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“SFAS 109”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in an enterprise’s tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest, penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure related to uncertain income tax positions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt FIN 48 as of July 1, 2007, as required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Item 7A.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is primarily the result of borrowings under its bank credit facilities. At June 30, 2007, $141.9 million of debt was outstanding under the 2006 Credit Agreement and is subject to variable interest rates. Borrowings under the 2006 Credit Agreement are secured by first priority security interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets. The Company’s results of operations are affected by changes in market interest rates on these borrowings. The variable interest rate borrowings comprised 45.2% of the Company’s $313.7 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness as of June 30, 2007. A one percent (1%) increase in the variable interest rate would result in additional annual interest expense of $1.4 million.
 
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Euro. Currency exposures include third-party trade payables and receivables and intercompany loans where the asset or liability is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. In addition, currency exposures exist for certain subsidiaries for anticipated transactions expected to be denominated in a foreign currency due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
 
In conjunction with the acquisition of Interflora, the Company entered into forward exchange contracts totaling £61.8 million to hedge the acquisition price. A contract in the amount of £51.0 million was settled on July 28, 2006 and resulted in a gain of $1.4 million, which has been recorded in other income, net within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). A contract in the amount of £10.0 million was settled on May 1, 2007 and resulted in a gain of $1.4 million, which offset the foreign currency loss on the notes in the same amount. Both the gain on the contract and the related loss on the notes have been recorded in other income, net within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The remaining forward contract for £0.8 million is expected to be settled during the first

quarter of fiscal year 2009. The settlement of this contract coincides with the due date of the remaining note payable related to the acquisition of Interflora.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the Company and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
 
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of management and/or the Company’s board of directors;
 
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of any unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Table of Contents

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of the Company’s financial statements would be prevented or detected. Rather, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Ernst & Young, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, as part of their audit, has issued its report, included herein on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. See “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” on page 38.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of FTD Group, Inc.
 
We have audited FTD Group, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). FTD Group, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, FTD Group, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007 of FTD Group, Inc. and our report dated September 4, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of FTD Group, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FTD Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Company for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the management of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
 
As discussed in Notes 9 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, effective for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of FTD Group, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated September 4, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Description of the Business
 
FTD Group, Inc. is a leading provider of floral products and services to consumers and retail florists, as well as other retail locations offering floral products, in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland. The business utilizes the highly recognized FTD and Interflora brands, both supported by the Mercury Man logo, which is displayed in approximately 45,000 floral shops worldwide. The Company conducts its business through three operating segments: the consumer segment, the florist segment and the international segment. The consumer segment, primarily through the www.ftd.com Web site, in addition to the 1-800-SEND-FTD toll-free telephone number, offers same-day delivery of floral orders to nearly 100% of the U.S. and Canadian populations. The florist segment provides a comprehensive suite of products and services that enable the Company’s network of FTD members in the U.S. and Canada to send and deliver floral orders. The international segment was added as a result of the acquisition of Interflora Holdings Limited (“Interflora”) on July 31, 2006. Interflora provides similar products and services to its members and also markets flowers and specialty gifts directly to consumers in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland through both Interflora’s website at www.interflora.co.uk and a toll-free telephone number.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
FTD Group, Inc., formerly Mercury Man Holdings Corporation, is a Delaware corporation that was formed in 2003 by Green Equity Investors IV, L.P., a private investment fund affiliated with Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., solely for the purpose of acquiring majority ownership of FTD, Inc. FTD, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that commenced operations in 1994 and includes the operations of its principal operating subsidiary, Florists’ Transworld Delivery, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“FTD” or the “Operating Company”). The operations of FTD include those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, FTD.COM INC. (“FTD.COM”), FTD Canada, Inc. (formerly known as Florists’ Transworld Delivery Association of Canada, Ltd.) and Interflora. Substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted through FTD and its subsidiaries. As used in this Form 10-K, the term the “Company” refers to FTD Group, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiary, FTD, Inc.
 
On July 31, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of Interflora, a U.K. based provider of floral-related products and services to consumers and retail floral locations in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland. Refer to Note 2 below. As a result of the Interflora acquisition, the Company also acquired majority control of Interflora, Inc. Interflora, Inc. is an international clearinghouse for flowers-by-wire order exchanges between its members. The results of operations associated with Interflora and Interflora, Inc. are included in the international segment.
 
On December 21, 2005, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Renaissance Greeting Cards, Inc. (“Renaissance”). See Note 3 for further detail. Prior to the sale, the operations of Renaissance were included in the florist segment.
 
On February 7, 2005, the stockholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares to 75,000,000, as well as a 1-for-3 reverse stock split. All common share and per share amounts reflect this reverse stock split.
 
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Certain amounts reported within total revenues and costs of products sold and services provided have been reclassified between products and services in the fiscal year 2006 and 2005 financial statements to conform to current year presentation. Such reclassifications primarily related to service fees in the consumer segment and did not affect reported total revenues, costs of goods sold and services provided, net income or stockholders’ equity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Use of Estimates
 
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and necessarily include amounts based on estimates and assumptions by management. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, income tax liabilities and loss contingencies.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, customer deposits, unearned income and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. At June 30, 2007, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $313.7 million, which was comprised of the $170.1 million of 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”), $141.9 million in borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “2006 Credit Agreement”) and $1.7 million in notes payable related to the acquisition of Interflora. The estimated fair value at June 30, 2007 of the long-term debt, including the current portion was $313.9 million, which was comprised of $170.3 million related to the Notes, $141.9 million in borrowings under the 2006 Credit Agreement and $1.7 million in notes payable. The estimated fair value of the Notes is based on quoted market prices for such Notes as of June 30, 2007.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s creditworthiness, as determined by the Company’s review of current credit information. In certain circumstances the Company may require deposits from its customers. The Company regularly monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated losses based upon historical experience and specific customer collection issues that it has identified. The Company’s policy for determining past due balances is based on when the original billing was incurred. Trade receivables are written off when all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted, including, but not limited to, external third party collection efforts and litigation. While such credit losses have historically been within management’s expectations and the provisions established, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to experience the same credit loss rates as in the past. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances for doubtful accounts may be required. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.4 million and $4.4 million at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Inventories
 
The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventory is valued using the weighted average cost method. The Company’s management regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and, if necessary, records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on the age of the inventory and forecasts of product demand. Product demand is impacted by promotional incentives offered by the Company and customer preferences, among other things. The reserves for excess and obsolete inventory were $0.7 million and $0.9 million as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The useful lives range from five to forty years for building and improvements, three to five years for computer equipment and two to ten years for furniture and equipment.
 
Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed
 
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. SFAS No. 86 requires that all costs relating to the purchase or internal development and production of computer software products to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed be expensed in the period incurred unless the requirements for technological feasibility have been established. The Company capitalizes all eligible computer software costs incurred once technological feasibility is established. The Company amortizes these costs using the greater of the straight-line method over a period of three to five years or the revenue method prescribed by SFAS No. 86.
 
The costs are recorded as computer software on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2007 and 2006. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the net book value of capitalized computer software costs related to the purchase or internal development and production of computer software product to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed was $2.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, including projects in process. During the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, $2.9 million, $2.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, was charged to expense related to the amortization of these capitalized computer software costs.
 
Internal Use Software
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Consensus No. 00-02, Accounting for Web Site Development Costs. Accordingly, certain costs incurred in the planning and evaluation stage of internal-use computer software, including Web site development costs, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized. Capitalized internal use software costs generally are amortized over the expected economic life of three to five years using the straight-line method. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the net book value of capitalized internal use software costs of $10.6 million and $7.6 million, respectively, was included in computer software on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, including projects in process. During the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, amortization expense related to internal use software was $3.4 million, $3.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
 
The Company reviews goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles may not be recoverable. The evaluation is based upon the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units compared to the sum of the carrying value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The estimated fair value is determined based on market capitalization, discounted cash flow analysis or a combination of both methodologies. The assumptions used in the valuations include expectations regarding future operating performance, discount rates, control premiums and other factors which are subjective in nature. Actual cash flows from operations could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance and economic conditions. Should estimates differ materially from actual results, the Company may be required to record impairment charges in the future. The Company defines its reporting units as its reportable operating segments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Indefinite-lived intangibles consist primarily of trademarks and a uniform resource locator (“URL”). The Company also has other intangibles, consisting of customer lists and a non-compete agreement, which are amortized over three to five years using the straight-line method.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are measured using the subsidiary’s local currency as the functional currency. Balance sheet accounts of the Company’s foreign operations are translated from foreign currency into U.S. dollars at the year-end rate of exchange. Income and expenses of the Company’s foreign operations are translated at the weighted average rates of exchange for the year. Translation gains or losses are included in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss).
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s consumer businesses generally recognize 100% of the order value as revenue and recognize the associated costs of goods sold and services provided when the order is delivered. The Company’s consumer businesses recognize revenue on a gross basis, as opposed to a net basis similar to a commission arrangement, because the Company bears the risks and benefits associated with the revenue-generating activities by: (1) acting as a principal in the transaction; (2) establishing prices; (3) being responsible for fulfillment of the order; (4) taking the risk of loss for collection, delivery and returns; and (5) marketing the products, among other things. If the relative amounts of risks and rewards borne by the Company associated with processing orders were to change in the future, the Company’s reporting policy related to revenue recognition and costs of goods sold and services provided could change. Shipping and service fees charged to customers are recognized at the time the products are delivered to the customer and are included in total revenues. Shipping costs are included cost of goods sold and services provided.
 
Revenues generated by the florist businesses of the Company for processing orders through the clearinghouse are recorded in the month in which the orders are delivered. Revenues for other services related to the processing of such orders (including equipment rentals and transmission charges) are recorded in the period in which the service is provided. Sales of floral-related hard goods are recorded when the products are shipped. Revenues relating to publications are recognized ratably over the period for which the publications are effective. Revenues associated with FTD Florists’ Online Web site hosting and advertising services, and Flowers All Hours are recorded in the period in which the service is provided.
 
The Company also sells computer equipment and software to FTD members. The Company follows the provisions of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” With Respect to Certain Transactions. SOP 97-2 requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements (e.g., software products, upgrades/enhancements, post-contract customer support, installation and training) to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. The Company recognizes revenue from hardware products which are sold without a software component at the time of shipment. For sales including software products, the related hardware on which the software is loaded, installation and training revenues are recognized when all required elements have been delivered and/or customer acceptance has occurred. For systems that are being leased, the Company

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
recognizes hardware and software revenue ratably over the period of the lease agreement. Support revenue is recognized over the period in which the support services are provided.
 
Advertising and Sales Promotion Costs
 
The Company expenses production, advertising time and space costs and related residual rights and contracts at the time the advertising is first broadcast or displayed. Promotion costs, including costs associated with affinity and other marketing programs are charged to expense when incurred.
 
Also, in accordance with the requirements of EITF Issue No. 01-9, the Company records advertising and selling expenses that relate to the granting of mileage and reward points to customers in connection with an order in costs of goods sold and services provided. The amounts related to the granting of mileage and reward points for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $8.6 million, $7.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), Share-Based Payment on July 1, 2005 using the modified prospective method and Black-Scholes as the option valuation model. See Note 14 for further detail. The option valuation model includes various assumptions, including the expected volatility and the expected life of the awards. The assumptions reflect the Company’s best estimates, but they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the Company’s control. As a result, if other assumptions had been used, stock compensation expense could have been materially impacted. Had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of this standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 (“SFAS No. 123”), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation as described in the following disclosure of pro forma net income (loss) and net loss per share.
 
Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company followed the provisions of SFAS No. 123 which allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB Opinion No. 25”), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and provide pro forma net income disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company had elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides a company with the option to measure selected financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. The election may be applied on an item by item basis, with disclosure regarding reasons for partial election and additional information about items selected for fair value option. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“SFAS 109”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in an enterprise’s tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest, penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure related to uncertain income tax positions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The

(2)   Acquisition of Interflora Holdings Limited
 
On July 31, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Interflora for a purchase price of approximately $122.8 million (£66 million) plus transaction related costs totaling $2.3 million. Approximately $98.6 million of the acquisition price was paid in cash at closing and $1.9 million of cash was acquired in connection with the purchase. The consideration included approximately $23.3 million (£12.5 million) of notes payable, of which $21.6 million (£11.6 million) were paid in May 2007 and the remainder, $1.7 million (£0.9 million), is expected be paid in the first half of fiscal 2009. The remainder of the purchase price ($3.2 million) was funded through the issuance of 216,374 shares of common stock (consisting of treasury shares) to certain senior managers of Interflora. The Company financed the acquisition with a new senior secured credit facility (the “2006 Credit Agreement”) consisting of a $150.0 million term loan and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility. The proceeds from the 2006 Credit Agreement were also used to repay the Company’s existing term loan. In addition, the Company entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts totaling £61.8 million to hedge the acquisition cost. A contract in the amount of £51.0 million was settled on July 28, 2006 and resulted in a gain of $1.4 million, which has been recorded in other income, net within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). A contract in the amount of £10.0 million was settled on May 1, 2007 and resulted in a gain of $1.4 million, which offset the foreign currency loss on the notes in the same amount. Both the gain on the contract and the related loss on the notes have been recorded in other income, net within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The remaining forward contract for £0.8 million is expected to be settled during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The settlement of this contract coincides with the due date of the remaining note payable related to the acquisition of Interflora. For the year ended June 30, 2007, other income, net included $1.4 million of income related to the mark-to-market adjustments on these forward contracts and the related notes payable.

2006 Credit Agreement
 
On July 28, 2006, in connection with the Interflora acquisition, FTD, Inc. entered into a new senior secured credit facility consisting of a $150.0 million term loan and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the 2006 Credit Agreement (“the Agreement”) bear interest based on a margin over, at FTD, Inc.’s option, either the base rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The applicable margin for borrowings varies based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the


F-16


Table of Contents

 
FTD GROUP, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Agreement. The weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2007 on the term loan was 7.34%. The Agreement also requires the Company to pay commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Commitment fees totaled $0.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2007. The Agreement also includes covenants that, among other things, require that FTD, Inc. maintain a certain ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (subject to certain adjustments), as well as a certain fixed charge ratio. Such ratios adjust quarterly in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. FTD, Inc. was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2007.
 
Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by first priority security interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all of FTD, Inc.’s tangible and intangible assets, including a pledge of all of the capital stock of its domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the capital stock of its first-tier foreign subsidiaries. All of the Company’s consolidated net assets are owned, and all of the Company’s consolidated net sales are earned, by its direct and indirect subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2007, the Company’s subsidiaries had $748.9 million of restricted assets.
 
At June 30, 2007, the Company had $141.9 million outstanding under the Agreement, $1.7 million of notes payable from the acquisition of Interflora and an additional $1.1 million in outstanding letters of credit and, as a result, approximately $72.2 million of the revolving credit facility was available. FTD, Inc. is permitted to voluntarily repay principal amounts outstanding or reduce commitments under the Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon the giving of proper notice and subject to minimum amount requirements. In January 2007, a voluntary repayment of $7.0 million was made. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, FTD, Inc. is required to prepay outstanding amounts under the Agreement with a portion of its excess cash flow (as defined under the Agreement), the net proceeds of certain asset dispositions, casualty insurance and condemnation recovery events and upon the issuance of certain securities or debt. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had excess cash flow and as such, is required to make a mandatory prepayment on the term loan in the amount of $7.0 million in the first half of fiscal year 2008. The balance of the term loan is due in annual installments of 1% of the outstanding principal balance per year with the remaining balance due at maturity, on July 28, 2013.
 
On February 20, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, and the Company entered into, an amendment to the 2006 Credit Agreement, which, among other things, amended certain restrictions to allow the Company to make certain restricted junior payments, including dividend payments.
 
The 2006 Credit Agreement imposes various restrictions on the Company, including restrictions that limit FTD, Inc.’s ability to incur liens or encumbrances, make investments or acquisitions, incur additional debt, enter into sale leaseback transactions, incur certain contingent liabilities, make certain restricted junior payments and other similar distributions, enter into mergers, consolidations and similar combinations, sell assets or engage in similar transfers, amend certain material agreements, including the indenture governing the 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”), make capital expenditures and engage in transactions with affiliates.
 
In conjunction with the Company’s completion of a going private transaction on February 24, 2004, FTD, Inc. entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “2004 Credit Agreement”). There was $50.0 million outstanding at June 30, 2006 under the 2004 Credit Agreement, which was subsequently paid off on July 28, 2006 with the proceeds from the 2006 Credit Agreement. As a result of repaying amounts borrowed under the 2004 Credit Agreement, the Company wrote off $1.8 million of deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. This expense is recorded in interest expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. In connection with the 2006 Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $1.5 million of deferred financing costs, which were allocated, pro rata, to the six-year revolving credit facility and the seven-year term loan and are being amortized using the effective interest method.

On February 6, 2004, Nectar Merger Corporation completed the issuance and sale of $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the $175.0 million 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014. Upon consummation of the 2004 Going Private Transaction, FTD, Inc. assumed Nectar Merger Corporation’s obligations under the Notes. The Notes will mature on February 15, 2014 and interest is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were used to finance the 2004 Going Private Transaction.
 
The Notes are unsecured, senior subordinated obligations, ranking junior in right of payment to all of FTD, Inc.’s existing and future senior indebtedness and equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness. The Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of FTD, Inc.’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and FTD, Inc.’s subsidiary guarantors on a senior subordinated basis.
 
Except in certain circumstances, the Company will not have the right to redeem any of the Notes prior to February 15, 2009. If redeemed during the 12-month period commencing February 15, 2009, the Notes may be redeemed at 103.875% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. Such redemption percentage is reduced in each subsequent 12-month period until maturity of the Notes.
 
The indenture governing the Notes provides for certain limitations on FTD, Inc.’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, issue disqualified capital stock, make restricted payments, other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries, layer indebtedness, enter into liens securing indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliates or guarantors, enter into certain merger, sale or consolidation transactions and the release of guarantors.
 
As a result of issuing the Notes, the Company recorded $6.7 million of deferred financing costs, which are being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Notes.
 
On March 15, 2005, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $5.3 million from the sale of 435,200 additional shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. On April 15, 2005, the Company used part of the proceeds from the over-allotment to redeem $4.9 million of the Notes at a redemption price of 107.75% of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. This payment resulted in a write-off of deferred financing costs of $0.2 million.
 
(7)   Leases
 
The Company has entered into operating leases for certain hardware components of computer equipment, facilities and other equipment. Rental expense relating to these leases totaled $3.8 million, $2.2 million and $2.0 million for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The minimum aggregate annual operating lease obligations for fiscal years ending June 30, are as follows (in thousands):

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences are deductible. This assessment is performed considering expected taxable income in future years and tax planning strategies available to the Company. Valuation allowances total $3.3 million as of June 30, 2007 and relate to state net operating losses and foreign tax credits. The valuation allowance at June 30, 2006 of $2.5 million related to state net operating losses. Unused foreign tax credits expire in 2014.
 
Income taxes are not provided for the basis difference in the original investments in foreign subsidiaries as these are considered to be permanent investments. Determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to such differences is not practicable.

(9)   Post-retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
 
The post-retirement health care benefit plan was terminated in fiscal year 1997 for employees who had not yet retired. As it relates to the 49 remaining participants covered by the plan, the following tables provide a reconciliation of the benefit obligation and funded status at June 30, 2007 and 2006, as well as the components of net periodic post-retirement benefit costs for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

Net periodic post-retirement benefit cost of $89, $80 and $94 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is equivalent to interest cost. The measurement date for the plan is June 30 for all years presented.
 
Application of SFAS No. 158
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), (“SFAS No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 requires full recognition of the funded status of the Company’s post-retirement benefit plan. Adoption of this provision did not impact earnings.
 
The Company adopted SFAS No. 158 effective June 30, 2007 and the incremental effect of applying this standard on individual line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007 is as follows (in thousands):

Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income in fiscal year 2007 represent net actuarial gain. The estimated actuarial gain that will be amortized from other comprehensive income into net periodic post-retirement benefit cost during 2008 is immaterial.
 
Weighted average actuarial assumptions for post-retirement benefits used at June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 to determine benefit obligations and net benefit cost are set forth in the following table.

For measurement purposes a 5.75% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed. The rate is assumed to remain at 5.75% in 2008 and thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. If the current health care cost trend rate assumption was increased by one percent, the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation (“APBO”) at June 30, 2007 would have increased approximately $126,000 or 8.7%. If the current health care cost trend rate assumptions were decreased by one percent, the APBO at June 30, 2007 would have decreased approximately $111,000, or 7.7%. The resulting changes in net periodic post-retirement benefit cost from a one percent increase or decrease would not have a significant impact on the periods presented.
 
The expected benefit payments for the following ten years are estimated as follows:

Approximately 84 employees and former employees participate under the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. Benefits under the plan, which has been frozen since January 1, 1997, were based on the employee’s age, years of service and the highest consecutive five-year average compensation.

Application of SFAS No. 158
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158. SFAS No. 158 requires full recognition of the funded status of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. Adoption of SFAS No. 158 for the defined benefit plan did not have any impact on earnings, accrued pension obligations or accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
Weighted average actuarial assumptions for pension benefits used at June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 to determine benefit obligations and net benefit cost are set forth in the following table.

Expected return on plan assets

The Company’s expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption is derived from a study which included a review of anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes and consideration of the appropriate asset allocation strategy given the anticipated requirements of the plan to determine the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested to provide for the pension plan benefits. While the study gives appropriate consideration to recent fund performance and historical returns, the assumption is primarily a long-term, prospective rate.
 
The Company’s pension plan asset allocations at June 30, 2007 and 2006 by asset category are as follows:
 
                 
    2007     2006  
 
Asset Category

    8 %     1 %
                 
Total
    100 %     100 %
                 
 
The Company maintains target allocation percentages among various asset classes based on an investment policy established for the pension plan, which is designed to achieve long term objectives of return, while mitigating against downside risk and considering expected cash flows. The current weighted-average target asset allocation is as follows: equity securities 60-75%, debt securities 25-40%, and other 1-5%. The investment policy is reviewed from time to time to ensure consistency with long term objectives.
 
During the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, pension expense of $69,000, $158,000 and $100,000, respectively, was recognized in relation to the pension plan. In addition, during the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company paid benefits of $203,000, $487,000 and $323,000, respectively. The measurement date for the plan is June 30 for all years presented. The table below provides the necessary disclosures in accordance with SFAS No. 132 (R) (as amended by SFAS No. 158) of the components of pension expense for the defined benefit plan for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

As a result of the secondary offering, affiliates of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. control less than a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock. As a result, the Company is no longer a “controlled company” within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange rules and, thus, is required to have a board of directors comprised of a majority of independent directors and nominating and compensation committees composed entirely of independent directors. The Company will phase in these corporate governance requirements by March 11, 2008.
 
In conjunction with the offering, the Company realized $1.7 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options by members of management and incurred $0.8 million in offering related costs. These offering related costs have been recorded in other income, net within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
 
On October 25, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program totaling $30.0 million, effective through September 30, 2007. These purchases may be made from time to time in both open market and private transactions, dependent upon market and other conditions. This repurchase program is expected to remain in effect through September 30, 2007, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors, or completed. The Company repurchased shares pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, which generally permits the Company to repurchase shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so under certain securities laws. Repurchased shares will be held in treasury pending use for general corporate purposes, including issuances under various employee and director stock plans. During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company repurchased a total of 1.5 million shares of Common Stock for $15.0 million. No shares were repurchased under this plan during the year ended June 30, 2007.
 
On February 14, 2005, the Company closed the sale of 13,100,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $13.00 per share in a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering. In addition, on that date, 2,307,693 shares of Common Stock were sold at the public offering price to Green Equity Investors IV, L.P., the Company’s principal stockholder and an affiliate. On March 15, 2005, the Company closed the sale of 435,200 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price to satisfy the underwriter’s over-allotment option. The net proceeds raised by the Company in the offering were used to: repurchase all outstanding shares of the Company’s 14% Senior Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock and all outstanding shares of the Company’s 12% Junior Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock; redeem a portion of FTD, Inc.’s 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014; pay for fees and expenses of the offering; and for general corporate purposes.
 
On February 7, 2005, the stockholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares to 75,000,000 as well as a 1-for-3 reverse stock split. All common share and per share amounts reflect this reverse stock split.

Shares associated with stock options that were not included in the computation of net loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive consisted of 12,500 shares for the year ended June 30, 2007, 175,000 shares for the year ended June 30, 2006 and 2,209,455 shares for the year ended June 30, 2005.
 
(14)   Stock Awards and Incentive Plans
 
The Company’s 2005 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2005 Equity Plan”) allows for the issuance of 4,592,778 shares of common stock of the Company and became effective on February 7, 2005. The 2005 Equity Plan provides for a variety of awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, deferred stock awards, dividend equivalents, performance share awards, performance stock unit awards, stock payment awards, performance-based awards and other stock-based awards. Through June 30, 2007, the Company has only granted non-qualified stock options under the 2005 Equity Plan. The Company grants stock options at a strike price equal to fair market value on the date of grant. During fiscal year 2007, the Company granted 1,380,217 options to certain employees. Option grants in fiscal years 2006 and 2005 were 137,500 and 2,239,467, respectively. These options were awarded at the fair market value at the date of grant. As of June 30, 2007, 1,194,440 shares remained available for grant under the 2005 Equity Plan. On July 9, 2007, the Company issued a grant of 300,000 shares of restricted stock to certain members of management. The shares vest equally each year over a five-year service period.
 
Outstanding nonqualified stock options are exercisable during a ten-year period. The Company’s options granted to employees vest equally each year over a five-year service period, except for certain stock options granted in fiscal year 2005, which vest in full after a seven-year service period unless certain performance acceleration targets are met. If the performance targets are met, the vesting of the options is accelerated. Each of the three performance targets were met, so these installments vested on August 8, 2005, August 8, 2006 and August 14, 2007, respectively. As of June 30, 2007, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $7.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.12 years. The total fair value of shares becoming fully vested during fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $2.0 million, $0.6 million, and $0.5 million, respectively.

Using the Black-Scholes single option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions, the weighted average estimated fair value, at the dates of grant of the Company’s options in fiscal year 2007 and 2006 was $3.10 and $1.17 per option of Common Stock, respectively. Expected volatility assumptions are based on historical volatility of FTD stock. Expected life assumptions are based on the “simplified” method as described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which is the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk free rate was selected based on yields of U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued. The expected dividend yield assumptions are based on the Board of Directors’ direction on dividends at the time of each grant.
