PART I
 
Item 1.    Business.
 
Hurry, Inc. (the “Company”), which was formerly known as Harry’s Farmers Market, Inc., is in the process of winding up its operations and intends to liquidate and dissolve as soon as practicable. The Company previously owned as many as three megastores and six convenience stores specializing in perishable food products, poultry, seafood, fresh bakery goods, and freshly made ready-to-eat, ready-to-heat and ready-to-cook prepared foods as well as deli, cheese and dairy products. In fiscal 2002, the Company sold or closed all of its megastores and three of its Harry’s In A Hurry stores. In the first quarter of 2003, the Company sold or closed its remaining three Harry’s In A Hurry stores.
 
In January 2001, the Company’s board of directors formally engaged the investment banking firm of Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc. to explore strategic alternatives for the Company that might enhance shareholder value. Houlihan Lokey contacted Whole Foods Market, Inc., among other companies, about a possible transaction with the Company. On October 31, 2001, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its assets, including its three megastores, distribution center, commissary kitchen, bakery, office facilities and intellectual property, to Whole Foods Market Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Whole Foods Market, Inc., for approximately $35 million plus the assumption by Whole Foods of certain related liabilities.
 
The Company’s board of directors and officers continued to seek buyers of one or more of the Harry’s In A Hurry stores, and on February 7, 2002, the Company sold the assets of the Harry’s In A Hurry store located on Ponce de Leon Avenue to MKT 1, Inc. Recognizing the need to conserve cash and being unable to find suitable buyers, the Company closed the other Harry’s In A Hurry stores during fiscal 2002 and the beginning of fiscal 2003. The Harry’s In A Hurry store located in the Dunwoody Plaza Shopping Center closed September 29, 2001 and the store located on Peachtree Street closed October 31, 2001. In addition, the Company closed the Harry’s In A Hurry store located in Peachtree City on December 31, 2001 and the stores located on Akers Mill Road and Powers Ferry Road on March 4, 2002.
 
The Company presently employs two people who are working to wind up the Company’s operations. In connection with the closing of the Harry’s In A Hurry stores, the Company negotiated terminations of all real property leases and other contracts that were not assigned to Whole Foods Market Group or MKT 1 and is continuing to sell its remaining equipment. In addition, the Company dissolved all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries in March, 2002.
 
As soon as practicable, the Company intends to call a special shareholders meeting at which the board of directors will ask the Company’s shareholders to vote on a proposal to approve and adopt a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. Harry A. Blazer, the Company’s president and chief executive officer, is the beneficial owner of all of the Company’s Class B common stock and has indicated that he will vote in favor of the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. Because the holders of Class B common stock are entitled to cast 10 votes for each share held, Mr. Blazer’s vote in favor of the proposal would ensure approval of the plan.
 
Executive Officers
 
Harry A. Blazer is the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Blazer, age 51, was the founder of the Company and served as the sole General Partner of the

2


 
predecessor to the Company and as Chief Executive Officer from its inception in 1987. Upon the Company’s incorporation in 1993, Mr. Blazer was named a director and President and Chief Executive Officer. In June 1994, Mr. Blazer was elected to the additional office of Chairman. From 1979 to 1987, Mr. Blazer was employed at DeKalb Farmers Market in Atlanta and served as its General Manager from 1983, until he left to form the Company.
 
Item 2.    Properties.
 
During fiscal 2002, the Company sold each of the three megastore sites that it owned in Georgia to Whole Foods Market Group, Inc. as part of a sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets. In addition, the Company assigned a lease for a distribution center to Whole Foods Market Group as part of the transaction.
 
During fiscal 2002, the Company also entered into negotiations to transfer the lease for its Harry’s In A Hurry store located on Ponce de Leon Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia to MKT 1, Inc. as part of the sale of the assets of that store to MKT 1. The transaction closed on February 7, 2002. In addition, during fiscal 2002 and the beginning of fiscal 2003, the Company negotiated terminations of its remaining five leases for its Harry’s In A Hurry stores. The Company has vacated all of the terminated lease sites.
 
Item 3.    Legal Proceedings.
 
Other than ordinary routine litigation historically incidental to the Company’s business, there are no (i) material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which its properties are subject; (ii) material proceedings known to the Company to be contemplated by any governmental authority; or (iii) material proceedings known to the Company, pending or contemplated, in which any director, officer or affiliate or any principal security holder of the Company, or any associate of any of the foregoing is a party or has an interest adverse to the Company.
 
Item 4.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders of the Company during the fourth quarter ended January 30, 2002.
 
PART II
 
Item 5.    Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
 
The Company’s Class A Common Stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board since February 13, 2001. It previously was quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Until November 14, 2001, the Company’s Class A Common Stock was quoted under the symbol “HARY.” Because of the Company’s name change, the Company’s Class A Common Stock has been quoted under the symbol “HURY” since November 14, 2001. No established public trading market exists for the Company’s Class B Common Stock. The Company had 762 record holders and approximately 6,200 beneficial holders of its Class A Common Stock as of May 31, 2002, and two record and beneficial holders of its Class B Common Stock. On January 30, 2002, the

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
General
 
The Company is in the process of winding up its operations and intends to liquidate and dissolve as soon as practicable. The Company previously owned three megastores and six convenience stores specializing in perishable food products, poultry, seafood, fresh bakery goods, and freshly made ready-to-eat, ready-to-heat and ready-to-cook prepared foods as well as deli, cheese and dairy products. In fiscal 2002 and the beginning of fiscal 2003, the Company sold or closed all of its megastores and the six Harry’s In A Hurry stores.
 
As soon as practicable, the Company intends to call a special shareholders meeting at which the board of directors will ask the Company’s shareholders to vote on a proposal to approve and adopt a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. Harry A. Blazer, the Company’s president and chief executive officer, is the beneficial owner of all of the Company’s Class B common stock and has indicated that he will vote in favor of the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. Because the holders of Class B common stock are entitled to cast 10 votes for each share held, Mr. Blazer’s vote in favor of the proposal would ensure approval of the plan.
 
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Wednesday nearest January 31. The 2002 fiscal year ended on January 30, 2002, the 2001 fiscal year ended on January 31, 2001 and the 2000 fiscal year ended on February 2, 2000.

Comparison of Fiscal 2002 to Fiscal 2001
 
Net sales in fiscal 2002 decreased 27.5% to approximately $98.6 million from approximately $136.0 million in fiscal 2001. This decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of the Company’s three megastores to Whole Foods Market Group, Inc. on October 31, 2001 and the closing of the three Harry’s In A Hurry stores located in Dunwoody, Buckhead and Peachtree City in September, October and December of 2001, respectively.
 
Gross profit in fiscal 2002 decreased to approximately $28.6 million or 29.0% of net sales from approximately $38.0 million or 27.9% of net sales in fiscal 2001. The decrease in dollars of gross profit is primarily due to the sale and closing of the three megastores and three Harry’s In A Hurry stores during fiscal 2002.
 
Direct store expenses decreased to approximately $18.5 million or 18.8% of net sales in fiscal 2002 from approximately $22.8 million or 16.7% of net sales in fiscal 2001. During fiscal 2002, direct store expenses were lower as a result of the sale and closing of the three megastores and three Harry’s In A Hurry stores. As a percentage of sales, direct store expenses were higher due to the fact that the Company’s overhead did not decrease in direct proportion to the change in sales attributable to the weakened economy as well as the loss of the three megastores and the three Harry’s In A Hurry stores. In addition to such normal overhead costs, the Company also incurred expenses directly associated with the closing of the Harry’s In A Hurry stores and the Whole Foods transaction.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2002 decreased to approximately $11.1 million or 11.3% of net sales from approximately $13.6 million or 10.0% of net sales for fiscal 2001. The decrease in fiscal 2002 is primarily attributable to the termination of substantially all of the Company’s corporate employees upon the sale of the three megastores and the three Harry’s In A Hurry stores. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily due to an accrual of approximately $0.8 million for higher consulting, legal and related expenses in connection with the Whole Foods transaction and the Company’s continuing efforts to seek strategic alternatives regarding the Harry’s In A Hurry stores as well as costs associated with the closing of the Harry’s In A Hurry stores.
 
Depreciation and amortization, which includes depreciation and amortization for the stores and the corporate facilities but not manufacturing (which is included in cost of goods sold), decreased to approximately $2.7 million or 2.8% of net sales during fiscal 2002 from approximately $3.9 million or 2.9% in fiscal 2001. Depreciation and amortization decreased due to the fact that the three megastore properties were sold as of October 31, 2001 and the Company recorded an impairment loss in the third quarter of Fiscal 2002 on its remaining assets to record assets at the estimated net realizable value.
 
The Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss on its remaining fixed assets, which consisted of a writedown of the book value of fixed assets of approximately $3.0 million to their estimated net realizable value and the recording of approximately $2.2 million of additional costs anticipated to dispose of the assets and settle lease agreements related to the assets.
 
For the reasons set forth above, in fiscal 2002 the Company had an operating loss of approximately $8.9 million or (9.1)% of net sales as compared to an operating loss in fiscal 2001 of approximately $2.3 million or (1.7)% of net sales.

7


 
In fiscal 2002, the Company recorded a gain on sale of certain assets, net of related expenses in the amount of $2.0 million. This gain resulted from the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets, including its three megastores, distribution center, commissary kitchen, bakery, office facilities and intellectual property, to Whole Foods for approximately $35 million plus the assumption by Whole Foods of certain related liabilities.
 
Interest expense in fiscal 2002 decreased to approximately $3.0 million or 3.0% of net sales in fiscal 2002 from approximately $3.7 million or 2.7% in fiscal 2001. This decrease is primarily attributable to the fact that the Company paid off its bank debt with a portion of the proceeds of the sale of assets to Whole Foods.
 
Other income in fiscal 2002 decreased to approximately $0.8 million or 0.8% of net sales compared to approximately $1.0 million or 0.8% of net sales in fiscal 2001. This was due to the loss of three months of revenue from the Cobb Shopping Center, which was sold to Whole Foods on October 31, 2001.
 
In fiscal 2002 the Company did not recognize any income tax benefits because the Company has had significant operating losses in the past and realizability of the benefits is not assured. The Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $40.5 million that may be applied against future earnings for income tax purposes.
 
As a result of the above, the Company generated a net loss before extraordinary gains applicable to common shareholders for fiscal 2002 of approximately $9.2 million or ($1.46) per common share, compared to a net loss before extraordinary items applicable to common shareholders of approximately $5.0 million or ($0.80) per common share for fiscal 2001. The Company generated a loss after extraordinary gains applicable to common shareholders for fiscal 2002 of approximately $9.8 million of ($1.56) per common share, compared to a net loss after extraordinary items applicable to common shareholders for fiscal 2001 of approximately $5.3 million or $(0.85) per common share for fiscal 2001.
 
Comparison of Fiscal 2001 to Fiscal 2000
 
Net sales in fiscal 2001 decreased 2.0% to approximately $136.0 million from approximately $138.7 million in fiscal 2000. Management believes the decline in sales can be attributed to increased drive times due to increased traffic congestion in metropolitan Atlanta, a consumer trend placing an increased emphasis on convenience and accessibility and an increased number of supermarkets and restaurants that provide more accessible alternatives for consumers.
 
Gross profit in fiscal 2001 decreased to approximately $38.0 million or 27.9% of net sales from approximately $40.0 million or 28.8% of net sales in fiscal 2000. This decrease was mainly due to the costs associated with the Company’s decision to cease using a third-party distributor to distribute nonperishable and specialty groceries and to instead distribute these items itself.
 
Direct store expenses decreased to approximately $22.8 million or 16.7% of net sales in fiscal 2001 from approximately $23.5 million or 16.9% of net sales in fiscal 2000. During fiscal 2001, direct store expenses were lower as a result of decreases in wages and repairs and maintenance costs. The Company was able to decrease the amount spent on wages by lowering the amount of overtime worked by employees. Repair and maintenance costs decreased as the Company focused on negotiating more favorable repair contracts with third parties and obtaining cost-effective replacement supplies.

8


 
Selling, general and administrative expense for fiscal 2001 increased to approximately $13.6 million or 10% of net sales from approximately $12.7 million or 9.2% of net sales for fiscal 2000. The increase in fiscal 2001 is primarily attributable to costs associated with the Company’s decision to cease using a third-party distributor to distribute nonperishable and specialty groceries and to instead distribute these items itself as well as an in increase compensation and expenses related to the Company’s retention of consultants from July 2000 to late January 2001. In addition, advertising and promotional expenses increased because the Company increased its advertising efforts in local newspapers. Bank charges increased because of increased use of charge cards and debit cards by customers.
 
Depreciation and amortization, which includes depreciation and amortization for the stores and the corporate facilities but not manufacturing (which is included in cost of goods sold), decreased to approximately $3.9 million or 2.9% of net sales during fiscal 2001 from approximately $4.4 million or 3.1% in fiscal 2000. Depreciation and amortization decreased because much of the equipment and leasehold improvements in the Company’s older stores, particularly the Cobb megastore and the first two Harry’s In A Hurry stores, have now been fully or almost fully depreciated due to their age.
 
The Company recorded an additional loss on the impairment of its bakery and distribution center of approximately $0.4 million or 0.3% of net sales in fiscal 2000. The book value of this asset was adjusted to reflect the net amount of proceeds that the Company received upon its sale. This sale was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 for approximately $4.8 million.
 
For the reasons set forth above, in fiscal 2001 the Company had an operating loss of approximately $2.3 million or (1.7)% of net sales as compared to an operating loss in fiscal 2000 of approximately $1.0 million or (0.7)% of net sales.
 
Interest expense in fiscal 2001 increased to approximately $3.7 million or 2.7% of net sales in fiscal 2001 from approximately $2.7 million or 1.9% in fiscal 2000. This increase is primarily attributable to the fact that fiscal 2001 interest expense reflects a full fiscal year of borrowings under the Company’s line of credit whereas fiscal 2000 interest expense only reflects approximately two months of borrowings because the loan agreement was not entered into until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.
 
Other income in fiscal 2001 decreased to approximately $1.0 million or 0.8% of net sales compared to approximately $1.8 million or 1.3% of net sales in fiscal 2000. Prior to the sale of the distribution center, the Company rented a portion of the space to third parties. Because the distribution center was sold in the first quarter of 2000, the Company lost this source of other income. Other income includes rent from tenants of the Cobb Crossing shopping center, which the Company owns. Rent received during fiscal 2001 from these tenants was approximately $1.0 million in fiscal 2001 compared to $1.2 million in fiscal 2000, excluding rent from the Company’s Cobb county megastore, which is also a tenant at the shopping center (all intercompany rent is eliminated in the Company’s financial statements). The shopping center had one vacant space of approximately 900 square feet as of the end of fiscal 2001.
 
In fiscal 2001 the Company did not recognize any income tax benefits because the Company has had significant operating losses in the past and realizability of the benefits is not assured. The Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $33.5 million that may be applied against future earnings for income tax purposes.

9


 
As a result of the above, the Company generated a net loss before extraordinary gains applicable to common shareholders for fiscal 2001 of approximately $5.0 million or ($0.80) per common share, compared to a net loss before extraordinary items applicable to common shareholders of approximately $1.9 million or ($0.14) per common share for fiscal 2000. The Company generated a loss after extraordinary gains applicable to common shareholders for fiscal 2001 of approximately $5.3 million or $(0.85) per common share, compared with the Company’s generated net income after extraordinary gains applicable to common shareholders of approximately $15.6 million or $2.53 per common share for fiscal 2000.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As the Company winds up its operations, its principal cash needs are for payment of salaries for its remaining two employees, satisfaction of tax and similar liabilities, and payment of accounting, legal and other costs associated with the liquidation and dissolution of the Company. The Company expects to meet these cash requirements using cash it has from sales of its assets and prior operations as well as cash generated by ongoing equipment sales. After adequate provision has been made for payment of all of the Company’s claims and obligations, any remaining cash will be distributed to the Company’s shareholders in one or more liquidating distributions.
 
Seasonality and Effects of Inflation
 
Although the Company’s operations during much of fiscal 2002 were affected by seasonality as its operations in past years had been, seasonality no longer affects the Company as it winds up its operations. Similarly, because the Company is in the process of winding up its operations and no longer has any stores open, the effects of inflation on the Company are minimal.

10


 
RISK FACTORS
 
Shareholders could be liable to the extent of any distributions to them if we are unable to satisfy our liabilities.
 
As soon as practicable, we intend to hold a special meeting of our shareholders at which shareholders will be asked to approve and adopt a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution, we will promptly pay our expenses and other known liabilities. In addition, we will request that all parties having claims against us submit those claims to us so that we can make provision for them. Our board of directors also may establish a contingency reserve for payment of remaining obligations or establish a liquidating trust. However, if enough cash is not put into the reserve or enough assets into the liquidating trust, claims may be brought against us that we cannot pay. In addition, in specific circumstances, claims may be brought against us after our dissolution. In any of these instances, under Georgia law, our shareholders may be liable to successful claimants to the extent of their pro rata share of the claim or the corporate assets previously distributed to them in the liquidation, whichever is less. Shareholders’ liability may exist for a period of up to five years after we publish our Notice of Intent to Dissolve.
 
If the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution is not approved, our board of directors will be forced to evaluate other alternatives, which may be less favorable to us and our shareholders than dissolution.
 
If our shareholders fail to approve the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution at the special meeting, our board of directors will continue to evaluate all appropriate alternatives to maximize shareholder value. Because we have a history of significant operating losses, the alternatives available to us would be limited. As of January 30, 2002, the end of our 2002 fiscal year, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $36.7 million. We incurred a net loss, before extraordinary items, of approximately $9.2 million, $5.0 million and $1.2 million the fiscal years ended January 30, 2002, January 31, 2001 and February 2, 2000. Our board of directors believes that it has explored all viable alternatives for our company and has determined that the best method to maximize shareholder value is for us to liquidate and dissolve. If the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution is not approved, we may be unable to become a financially viable company and then would have to consider declaring bankruptcy. If we were forced to declare bankruptcy, our shareholders may receive less than they might in a liquidation.
 
Decreases in the underlying value of our assets may adversely affect the amount of any liquidating distributions.
 
We are continuing to sell all of our remaining non-cash assets, which mainly consist of equipment. The underlying value of our assets may be adversely affected by a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:
 
 
 
adverse changes in economic conditions;
 
 
 
over availability of equipment similar to ours in the market place because of other recent grocery store closings; and
 
 
 
the inability of third parties to pay accounts receivable owed to us.

11


 
Any decrease in the value of our assets would hinder our efforts to obtain the most cash possible for our non-cash assets. We will need cash to pay and discharge most of our debts and liabilities. Because we must pay or make provision for payment of our obligations and liabilities prior to making any liquidating distributions, any decrease in available cash would decrease the likelihood that we would be able to make any liquidating distribution to our shareholders and the amount available for any distributions.
 
Prior to a final distribution to shareholders, we may be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which could subject us to various reporting requirements and increased expenses.
 
While we wind up our business, our board of directors intends to invest our cash assets in investment-grade securities. If we fail to meet certain exemptions from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, we would be required to register as an investment company and comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act. We would then be subject to restrictions on our capital structure and be required to comply with various reporting and other requirements that would subject us to additional expense.
 
Generally, an issuer is deemed to be an investment company subject to registration if its holdings of “investment securities,” which usually are securities other than securities issued by majority owned subsidiaries and government securities, exceed 40% of the value of its total assets exclusive of government securities and cash items on an unconsolidated basis. However, a company that otherwise would be deemed to be an investment company may be excluded from such status for a one-year period provided that such company has a bona fide intent to be engaged as soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within that one-year period, primarily in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities. If we would otherwise be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we intend to rely on this exemption while we attempt to resolve all contingencies pending against us and to liquidate all of our remaining assets. Accordingly, we do not intend to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
 
If we have not resolved all contingencies pending against us and liquidated all of our remaining assets within the one-year period referred to above, we may be required to (1) apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission for exemptive relief from the requirements of the Investment Company Act, or (2) invest certain of our assets in government securities and cash equivalents that are not considered “investment securities” under the Investment Company Act. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain exemptive relief from the Commission. Alternatively, investment in government securities and cash equivalents could yield a significantly lower rate of return than other investments that we could make if we chose to register as an investment company.
 
Assuming approval of the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution, we will continue to have expenses that may further decrease any distribution.
 
Following approval of the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution and the filing of the Notice of Intent to Dissolve with the Georgia Secretary of State, our activities will be limited to those necessary to wind up our company. These actions will include selling our remaining assets, establishing any necessary contingency reserves for payment of known, expected or threatened expenses and liabilities, terminating any remaining commercial agreements, relationships or outstanding obligations and distributing any remaining assets to our shareholders. In connection with these winding up activities, we will continue to incur various costs and expenses, including

12


 
operating costs, salaries, payroll, local and other taxes, and miscellaneous office expenses. In addition, expenses for professional fees and other expenses of liquidation may be significant, and we will continue to indemnify our officers, directors, employees and agents in accordance with our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, including for actions taken in connection with the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution and the winding up of our affairs. These costs and expenses will reduce the amount of assets available for any ultimate distributions to our shareholders.

Item 10.    Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant.
 
Directors
 
The directors of the Company are as follows:
 
Harry A. Blazer, age 51, is the founder of Harry’s Farmers Market and served as the sole General Partner and as Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s predecessor from its inception in 1987. Upon the Company’s incorporation in 1993, Mr. Blazer was named a director and

13


 
President and Chief Executive Officer and was elected to the additional office of chairman in June 1994. From 1979 to 1987, Mr. Blazer was employed at DeKalb Farmers Market in Atlanta, Georgia and served as its General Manager from 1983 until 1987, when he left to form Harry’s Farmers Market.
 
Donald M. Pamenter, age 63, is an independent management consultant. Since 1984 he has served a wide variety of medium to large manufacturing, marketing and service companies. His practice focuses on improving strategic operations and competitor management for companies throughout North America and Europe. Mr. Pamenter was an executive with General Foods Corporation from 1978 to 1984. Prior to this, he served as a management consultant with McKinsey & Company in its Toronto and Amsterdam offices. Mr. Pamenter was the co-founder, director and Executive Vice President of Consolidated Computer, Inc., a publicly traded international computer manufacturing and software company established in 1968. Mr. Pamenter was first elected to the board of directors in July 1999.
 
Charles W. Sapp, age 67, was first elected to the board of directors in February 1999. Prior to his retirement in 1999, he served as Senior Vice President of Distribution and Manufacturing of H.E. Butt Grocery Company, where he worked from 1981 through 1998. From 1989 until 1993, Mr. Sapp served as Group Vice President, Marketing and Store Operations for H.E. Butt Grocery Company. Prior to his employment with H.E. Butt Grocery Company, Mr. Sapp served as the Vice President of Distribution and Manufacturing with the Alpha Beta Company in California, a subsidiary of American Stores Incorporated, a national grocery store chain. Mr. Sapp has over 40 years experience in the food manufacturing and retailing industry.
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
The United States securities laws require our directors, executive officers and any persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market initial reports of ownership and subsequent reports of changes in ownership. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of the reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during fiscal 2002 all directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock made all required filings, although Donald Pamenter and Charles Sapp inadvertently made the required filings reflecting the automatic annual grants of options to them under our 1996 Director Stock Option Plan after the prescribed due date.
 
Item 11.    Executive Compensation.
 
The following table sets forth certain summary information concerning compensation paid or accrued by us for services rendered in all capacities during fiscal 2002, fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 for our Chief Executive Officer, and our other executive officers whose annual salary and bonus for fiscal 2002 exceeded $100,000.

Directors’ Compensation
 
We pay each of our directors a quarterly retainer of $5,000, as well as reimbursing directors for any travel and related expenses incurred in connection with their attendance in person at each meeting of our Board of Directors.
 
Our 1996 Director Stock Option Plan provides that each director who does not hold more than 5% of our stock will be granted five-year options to purchase 10,000 shares of our Class A common stock upon (i) his initial election as a director and (ii) the day immediately following the day of each of our annual shareholders meetings, provided that such director was not granted an option under clause (i) during that same calendar year. Because of his beneficial ownership of our Class B common stock, Mr. Blazer has never been eligible to receive options under the Director Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of the options is equal to the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the date of grant, and the options vest in one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. In addition to the automatic grants, upon the initial adoption of the Director Stock Option Plan, each eligible director received an option to purchase 30,000 shares of our Class A common stock. These options vested as to 20,000 of the shares on the date of grant and the remaining 10,000 shares vested on the day prior to the 1997 annual meeting of shareholders.
 
In order to facilitate the pursuit of alternatives to maximize shareholder value, on January 25, 2001, our board of directors appointed Donald Pamenter and Charles Sapp, two of our independent directors, to serve as a special committee of the board for the purposes of (i) considering, negotiating and evaluating potential transactions and alternatives for us in an effort to enhance shareholder value and (ii) recommending to the full board of directors for its consideration the advisability of entering into any transaction. During fiscal 2002, we paid the members of the special committee an aggregate of $99,878 for their service.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
Harry Blazer, Donald Pamenter and Charles Sapp serve on the executive compensation committee of our board of directors. Mr. Blazer serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer, but neither Mr. Pamenter nor Mr. Sapp are our employees. None of the committee members served as a member of a compensation committee, or other board committees performing similar functions, of any other entity during fiscal 2002. Mr. Blazer routinely excludes himself when the committee discusses and makes determinations regarding his salary and compensation.
 
Item 12.    Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.
 
The following table sets forth information as of August 15, 2002, unless otherwise indicated, regarding the beneficial ownership of our equity securities by each person known by us to own more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, each director and nominee for director, each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table and all directors and executive officers as a group.
 
Pursuant to SEC rules, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a specific person or group includes shares issuable pursuant to convertible securities, warrants and options held by such person or group that may be converted or exercised within 60 days after August 15, 2002. These shares are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the

16


 
percentage of the class beneficially owned by such person or group but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the class beneficially owned by any other person or group.
 
The persons named in the table gave us the stock ownership information about themselves. Except as explained in the footnotes below, the named persons have sole voting and investment power with regard to the shares shown as beneficially owned by them. Harry A. Blazer is the beneficial holder of all of the shares of our Class B common stock. Holders of Class B shares are entitled to ten votes per share. If at any time any shares of Class B common stock are beneficially owned by any person other than Mr. Blazer (or entities controlled by him) or upon his death, these shares of Class B common stock automatically convert to an equal number of shares of our Class A common stock.

RCG was responsible for the daily management of the stores in the shopping center, and we paid RCG a fee of $2,500 per month for the management services until the property was sold to Whole Foods Market Group on October 31, 2001. During fiscal 2002, we paid RCG a total of $22,500.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
Board of Directors
Hurry, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hurry, Inc. and Subsidiaries (formerly Harry’s Farmers Market, Inc. and Subsidiaries) as of January 30, 2002 and January 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 30, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
 
As more fully described in Notes A-1 and A-2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company sold substantially all of its net operating assets on October 31, 2001, and consequently, the Company has begun cessation of its operations, and intends to liquidate and dissolve as soon as practicable.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Hurry, Inc. and Subsidiaries (formerly Harry’s Farmers Market, Inc. and Subsidiaries) as of January 30, 2002 and January 31, 2001, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 30, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We have also audited Schedule II of Hurry, Inc. and Subsidiaries, for each of the three years in the period ended January 30, 2002. In our opinion, this schedule presents fairly, in all materials respects, the information required to be set forth therein.

HURRY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(formerly Harry’s Farmers Market, Inc. and Subsidiaries)
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 30, 2002 and January 31, 2001
 
NOTE A—NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
1.    Nature of Business
 
Hurry, Inc. (the “Company”), which was formerly known as Harry’s Farmers Market, Inc., is a corporation formed pursuant to the laws of the State of Georgia. The Company is a retailer in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area of fresh fruits and produce, seafood, poultry and meat, dairy products, baked goods, beer and wine and other assorted grocery items. In connection with the sale of substantially all assets and the assumption of certain related liabilities of the Company, as fully described in Note A-2, the Company began cessation of its operations and intends to liquidate and dissolve as soon as practicable. The Company previously owned as many as three megastores and six convenience stores. In fiscal 2002, the Company sold or closed all its megastores and three of its convenience stores. There were three convenience stores open as of January 30, 2002.
 
2.    Sale of Substantially All Assets and Assumption of Certain Related Liabilities of the Company
 
On October 31, 2001, the Company completed the sale (the “Asset Sale”) of substantially all of its assets to Whole Foods Market Group, Inc. (“Whole Foods”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Whole Foods Market, Inc., pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 9, 2001 (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company sold its three megastores and support facilities to Whole Foods for a cash purchase price of approximately $35,000,000, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. In addition to the Company’s three megastores and related real estate, Whole Foods purchased the Company’s intellectual property, distribution center, commissary kitchen, bakery and office facilities. In connection with the transaction, Whole Foods assumed certain specified liabilities of the Company. The Company retained all other assets, including its Harry’s In A Hurry stores, and related liabilities.
 
The Company recorded a receivable of $992,984 related to certain post-closing adjustments pursuant to the Agreement which was collected subsequent to January 30, 2002.
 
At the time of the closing, $1,000,000 of the purchase price was placed into escrow for: (i) any indemnification claims that may arise against the Company under the terms of the Agreement; (ii) repayment of a post-closing purchase price adjustment based on the net working capital of the purchased assets and (iii) real estate prorations if not otherwise paid in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The escrow will terminate October 31, 2002, unless any unsettled claims remain pending at that time. Any indemnification claims by the Company or purchase price adjustments in favor of the Company will be paid directly by Whole Foods.
 
The Company used approximately $23,000,000 of the cash proceeds to pay off and retire its credit facility with its primary senior lender. In addition, the Company used a portion of the proceeds to pay off certain corporate liabilities and transaction expenses.
 
The Company changed its name from Harry’s Farmers Market, Inc. to Hurry, Inc. after the closing of this transaction.

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued
 
3.    Principles of Consolidation
 
The financial statements include the accounts of Hurry, Inc., and its three wholly owned subsidiaries, Karalea, Inc., Marthasville Trading Company and Roman Properties, Inc. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
4.    Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues from the sale of products are recognized at the point of sale of the Company’s products. Discounts provided to customers at the point of sale are recognized as a reduction in sales as the products are sold.
 
5.    Inventories
 
Inventories consist primarily of grocery items and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) valuation method.
 
6.    Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives, principally on a straight-line basis. The estimated lives used in determining depreciation are: buildings, 31-39 years and equipment and vehicles, 3 to 10 years. The portion of depreciation expense attributed to product cost is included with cost of goods sold in the statements of operations. This depreciation expense amounted to $256,163, $521,211 and $463,613, for the years ended January 30, 2002, January 31, 2001 and February 2, 2000, respectively.
 
Property and equipment are carried at an estimated net realizable value of $1,136,424. The Company recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $3,065,540 in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2002 to write down the assets to their estimated net realizable value based on the estimated sales price of the assets less reasonable estimates of additional costs to sell the facility. The recognition of this impairment was in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.
 
The Company capitalizes purchased software that is ready for service and software development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility of the software is established until the software is ready for use. Other computer software maintenance costs related to software development are expensed as incurred. Software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method generally over three to five years after being placed in service. The carrying value of software and development costs at January 30, 2002 and January 31, 2001 were $0 and $109,384, respectively.
 
7.    Loan Costs
 
Costs of obtaining financing are being amortized over the term of the related loans.

8.    Advertising Expense
 
All advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended January 30, 2002, January 31, 2001 and February 2, 2000 was approximately $1,065,000, $1,057,000 and $770,000, respectively.
 
9.    Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.
 
10.    Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company’s stock option plans are accounted for under the intrinsic value method in which compensation expense is recognized for the amount, if any, that the fair value of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price at the date of grant.
 
11.    Fiscal Year
 
The Company is on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Wednesday nearest January 31. Fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 were all 52-week fiscal years.
 
12.    Earnings Per Share
 
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), Earnings Per Share. Basic net earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares, including options and warrants outstanding during the period, unless such items are antidilutive.
 
13.    Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

14.     Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2001 and 2000 financial statements to conform to the fiscal 2002 presentation.
 
NOTE B—LIQUIDITY AND OPERATIONAL MATTERS
 
Subsequent to year end, the Company’s activities have been primarily limited to selling remaining assets, paying creditors, terminating any remaining commercial agreements, relationships and outstanding obligations, and conserving cash. As the Company ceases its operations, its principal cash needs are for rent for the remaining locations and office space, payment of salaries for its remaining employees, satisfaction of tax and similar liabilities and payment of accounting, legal and other costs associated with the liquidation and dissolution of the Company. The Company expects to meet these cash requirements using cash received from sales of its assets and prior operations as well as cash generated by ongoing equipment sales. After adequate provision has been made for payment of all of the Company’s claims and obligations, any remaining cash will be distributed to the Company’s shareholders in one or more liquidating distributions.
 
The Company has made adjustments in order to state its assets and liabilities at net realizable value as follows:
 
      
Write down of property and equipment
  
$
3,065,540
Lease termination charges
  
 
1,195,550
Employment contract termination charges
  
 
121,000
Legal costs associated with terminations of agreements
  
 
153,450
 
The estimated net realizable value of assets represents management’s best estimate of the recoverable value of the assets, net of selling expenses.
 
NOTE C—LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
 
On October 31, 2001, the Company used approximately $23,000,000 of the cash proceeds received in the Asset Sale, as discussed in Note A-2, to pay off and retire its credit facility with its primary senior lender.
 
The Company’s retired credit facility (“Credit Facility”) under the previous credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”), entered into on December 2, 1999 was for a committed amount of up to $24.5 million and consisted of a term loan for $19.5 million and a senior revolving credit facility of up to $5.0 million. The term note and the revolving credit facility were due to mature on November 28, 2002, at which time the remaining unpaid balance were due. Under the Credit Agreement, substantially all of the Company’s assets had been pledged as collateral. In addition, the Credit Agreement included various operational and financial covenants that included, among other things, a minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) that the Company was required to achieve and a limitation on the amount of capital expenditures that the Company could spend in any one year.

Operating Leases
 
The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under agreements classified as operating leases. Total rental expense, excluding lease release and prepayment penalties, under all operating lease arrangements was approximately $2,400,000, $2,900,000 and $2,500,000 for the years ended January 30, 2002, January 31, 2001 and February 2, 2000, respectively.

Substantially all of the remaining equipment and facility leases were terminated in fiscal 2002 and the beginning of fiscal 2003 in connection with the Company’s intent to liquidate and dissolve the Company. Prepayment penalties and lease release payments totaled approximately $850,000 for fiscal 2002. The future minimum lease payments on leases existing at year end to be paid in fiscal year 2003 are $499,558. The Company also anticipates paying prepayment penalties and lease release payments of $1,195,550 in 2003 related to the termination of the remaining leases.

Blazer, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, entered into a Consulting and Non-Competition Agreement with Whole Foods.

In addition, during the five-year period, Mr. Blazer agreed to not compete directly or indirectly against the interests of Whole Foods in the ownership or operation of similar retail entities within 30 miles of any existing Whole Foods Market store and in metropolitan areas that Whole Foods Market presently has locations or intends to enter. In addition to other exceptions, Mr. Blazer is permitted to continue managing the operations of the Harry’s In A Hurry stores. As compensation for these agreements, Whole Foods will pay Mr. Blazer $250,000 per year during the five-year term of the Consulting and Non-Competition Agreement.
 
NOTE F—CAPITAL DISTRIBUTION
 
On January 30, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a capital distribution of $0.38 per share to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 11, 2002. The total amount of the declared capital distribution of $2,472,879 was paid immediately following the record date.

NOTE G—IMPAIRMENT LOSS AND TERMINATION CHARGES
 
During fiscal year 2002, the Company has recognized a impairment loss of the remaining fixed assets of the Company consisting of a write down of the book value of fixed assets of approximately $3,066,000 and $2,166,000 of additional costs anticipated to dispose of these assets and settle lease and employment contracts of which approximately $696,000 had been paid as of year end.

NOTE H—EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS
 
Loss on Debt Extinguishment
 
In connection with the Asset Sale on October 31, 2001, as described in Note A-2, the Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $614,690 on the early repayment of its Credit Facility due to prepayment fees and the write-off of deferred financing costs.
 
In connection with the first quarter fiscal 2001 sale of the warehouse and distribution facility, the Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $287,850 on the early repayment of the note due to prepayment fees and the write-off of related deferred financing costs.
 
Gain on Debt Extinguishment
 
During fiscal 2000, the Company negotiated a redemption with the holders of the Company’s Series AA Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, which had a total redemption value of $11.0 million, and certain warrants that could be exercised to purchase shares of Class A common stock for $2.75 million. In addition, during fiscal 2000, the United States Bankruptcy Court approved a settlement with Boston Chicken, Inc. (“BCI”) and Progressive Food Concept, Inc. (“PFCI”) pursuant to which the Company paid $4.0 million for the satisfaction of all debt owed to BCI and PFCI, including $15.5 million of convertible debt, and the termination of warrants for the purchase of two million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. As a result of these two transactions the Company had an extraordinary gain of approximately $16.8 million, net of applicable income taxes of $990,000, in fiscal 2000. The effective tax rate on the extraordinary gains was only 5.56% due to the Company utilizing net operating loss carryforwards generated in fiscal 2000 and previous periods to offset income taxes attributable to the extraordinary gain. The net income tax expense of $250,000 for fiscal 2000 arises from alternative minimum tax that is not eligible for offset by net operating loss carryforwards.
 
NOTE I—CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company operates retail grocery stores in the metropolitan Atlanta area. The Company also sells to a limited number of commercial entities and carries trade accounts receivable for these customers. Management continually monitors these receivables to minimize the risk of loss.
 
The Company’s financial instruments recorded on the balance sheet include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. Because of their short maturities, the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt approximates fair market value.

The Company’s board of directors approved stock option plans that cover up to 675,000 shares of common stock. The plans provide for the expiration of options five to ten years from the date of grant and require the exercise price of the options granted to be at least equal to 100% of market value on the date granted.
 
In addition to the stock option plans, the board of directors periodically approve the grant of options to employees and directors. The board of directors approved the grant of 0, 300,000 and 285,000 options outside of the Company’s stock option plans during fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During fiscal 2002, 300,000 of these options were exercised, while 10,000, 21,875 and 0 were forfeited during fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The number of stock options outstanding as of January 30, 2002, January 31, 2001 and February 2, 2000, which were granted outside of the Company’s stock option plans was 323,125, 633,125 and 355,000, respectively.
 
Due to the sale of substantially all assets of the Company to Whole Foods, and in connection with the Company’s intent to liquidate and dissolve, the Company anticipates that no further options will be granted, and it is the Company’s intent to terminate the stock option plans as soon as practicable.
 
All stock option transactions for each of the three years in the period ended January 30, 2002, are summarized below:

The Company uses the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock option plans. In applying this method, no compensation cost has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans, the Company’s net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have resulted in the pro forma amounts indicated below:
