See notes to unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. A-5 FORM 10-Q CROWN CRAFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Crown Crafts, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 29, 2002 and the results of its operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 29, 2002 and December 30, 2001 and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended December 29, 2002 and December 30, 2001. Such adjustments include normal recurring accruals and a pro rata portion of certain estimated annual expenses. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 29, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 30, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2002 of the Company. Use of Estimates: 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 and 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. Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and eliminates the use of the pooling-of-interests method. The application of SFAS 141 did not affect any of the Company's previously reported amounts included in goodwill or other intangible assets. SFAS 142 requires that the amortization of goodwill cease prospectively upon adoption and instead, the carrying value of goodwill be evaluated using an impairment approach. Identifiable intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and was implemented by the Company on April 1, 2002. Beginning in fiscal 2003, the Company discontinued amortizing goodwill but continued to amortize other long-lived intangible assets. The Company has performed a transitional fair value based impairment test on its goodwill in accordance with SFAS 142 and has determined that the fair value exceeded the recorded value at April 1, 2002. Following is a reconciliation of previously reported net income and basic and diluted net income per share to the amounts that would have been reported if SFAS 142 had been effective as of April 2, 2001 and the amortization of goodwill had been discontinued as of that date.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Although SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, it retains most of the concepts of that standard, except that it eliminates the requirement that goodwill be allocated to long-lived assets for impairment testing purposes and it requires that a long-lived asset to be abandoned or exchanged for a similar asset be considered held and used until it is disposed of (i.e., the depreciable life should be revised until the asset is actually abandoned or exchanged). Also, SFAS 144 includes the basic provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation to include a component of an entity rather than a segment of a business, where that component can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and was implemented by the Company on April 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a significant effect on the Company's financial statements on the date of adoption. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS 145 provides, among other things, that gains on the extinguishments of debt will generally no longer be classified as extraordinary items in the statements of operations. It also provides that gains on extinguishments be reclassified in prior years financial statements presented for comparative purposes. SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 with earlier adoption encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS 145 effective July 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 145 required that a gain on debt refinancing of $25 million realized in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 be reclassified into income before extraordinary items. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which is effective for fiscal years after December 31, 2002. SFAS 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with restructurings, discontinued operations, plant closings, or other exit or disposal activities, when incurred rather than at the date a plan is committed to. The Company is presently reviewing this statement and plans to adopt it as of its effective date and will implement its provisions on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. SFAS 148 amends FASB 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, FASB 148 amends the disclosure requirements of FASB 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS 148 is effective for the Company's fiscal period ending March 30, 2003 and management is in the process of evaluating this new standard. A-7 Reclassifications: Certain prior period financial statement balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. 2. Segment and Related Information: In 1999, the Company adopted SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. At the date of adoption, the Company's principal segments included adult home furnishing and juvenile products, consisting of bedroom and bath products (adult comforters, sheets and towels), throws and juvenile products (primarily Pillow Buddies(R)). An additional segment was infant products, consisting of infant bedding, bibs, and infant soft goods. Following the sale of the Adult Bedding and Bath business as of July 23, 2001 as described in Note 4 below, the Company is primarily in the infant and juvenile products business. Financial information attributable to the Company's business segments for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 29, 2002 and December 30, 2001 was as follows (in thousands):

Inventory is net of reserves for inventories classified as irregular or discontinued of $2.1 million and $2.2 million at December 29, 2002 and March 31, 2002, respectively. 4. Discontinuance of Certain Businesses: During the quarter ended July 1, 2001, the Company sold property, plant and equipment (primarily at Timberlake, North Carolina) with net proceeds of $9.2 million and a gain on sale of $802,000. The net proceeds were used to reduce debt. As part of the plan to reduce debt and restore profitability, the Company made a decision to exit the Adult Bedding and Bath Business, and its net assets related to that business of $12.4 million were sold effective July 23, 2001. Proceeds of the sale were $8.5 million cash plus the assumption of liabilities of $3.4 million as well as the assumption of certain contingent liabilities. Cash from the sale was used to reduce debt. The sale included inventory, buildings, machinery and equipment located at Roxboro, North Carolina as well as various sales offices. The Adult Bedding and Bath Business had annual sales of approximately $24.8 million and $76.5 million in fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, respectively, and was included in the adult home furnishing and juvenile products segment. The Adult Bedding and Bath Business includes the remainder of the bedroom products group following the sale of the Wovens division. 5. Restructuring Charge: In December 2002, the Company adopted a formal plan to change its sourcing strategy for certain products and close the Mexican manufacturing facility operated by its majority-owned subsidiary, Burgundy Interamericana ("Burgundy"). This decision was based on extensive research by management which indicated that, due to lower wages and the elimination of the quota on bibs, outsourcing the supply of products currently manufactured by Burgundy to Asian manufacturers was more cost effective and competitive than maintaining existing operations in Mexico. Under the plan, Burgundy will continue to operate through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003, at which time the Company will begin to liquidate Burgundy's assets. As a result of the decision, the Company recorded a $1.8 million restructuring charge to operations in the quarter ended December 29, 2002, which consists primarily of a write-down of the property and equipment at the Mexican facility of approximately $800,000, inventory items deemed to be in excess of production requirements of approximately $600,000, an accrual for contractual termination benefits of approximately $300,000 due Burgundy's entire workforce (approximately 130 employees) under the provisions of Mexico's labor regulations and the write-off of goodwill of approximately $60,000. The Company expects to pay approximately 65% of the severance benefits in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 and the remaining 35% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. The Company will continue to charge the ongoing operating costs associated with Burgundy's production in the period in which the costs are incurred. The Company estimates the total cost of liquidation, including costs to be incurred to operate until closure, to be approximately $2.2 million. 6. Financing Arrangements Factoring Agreement: The Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to a commercial factor. Under the terms of the factoring agreement, which expires July 2003, the factor remits payments to the Company on the average due date of each group of invoices assigned. If a customer fails to pay the factor upon the due date, the Company is charged interest at prime (4.25% at December 29, 2002) until payment is received. The factor bears credit losses with respect to assigned accounts receivable that are within approved credit limits. The Company bears losses resulting from returns, allowances, claims and discounts. A-9 Notes Payable and Other Credit Facilities: At December 29, 2002 and March 31, 2002, long-term debt consisted of:
December 29, March 31, 2002 2002 ------------- ----------- Promissory notes $ 35,572 $ 38,000 Floating rate revolving credit facilities 1,148 5,542 Non-interest bearing notes 274 - Original issue discount (3,372) (3,769) ------------- ----------- 33,622 39,773 Less current maturities (3,013) (3,000) ------------- ----------- $ 30,609 $ 36,773 ============= ===========
On July 23, 2001 the Company completed a refinancing of its debt. The new credit facilities include the following: Revolving Credit of up to $19 million including a $3 million sub-limit for letters of credit, $14.0 million drawn at closing. The interest rate is prime plus 1.00% (5.25% at December 29, 2002) for base rate borrowings and LIBOR plus 2.75% (4.17% at December 29, 2002) for Euro-dollar borrowings. The maturity date is June 30, 2004. The facility is secured by a first lien on all assets. The balance at December 29, 2002 was $1.1 million. The Company had $10.6 million available at December 29, 2002. As of December 29, 2002, letters of credit of $1.4 million were outstanding against the $3 million sub-limit for letters of credit associated with the $19 million revolving credit facility. Senior Notes of $14 million with a fixed interest rate of 10% plus additional interest contingent upon cash flow availability of 3%. The maturity date is June 30, 2006 and the notes are secured by a first lien on all assets. A minimum principal payment of $250,000 was paid on April 1, 2002 and minimum principal payments of $500,000 are due at the end of each calendar quarter thereafter. In the event that required debt service exceeds 85% of free cash flow (EBITDA (as hereinafter defined) less capital expenditures and cash taxes paid), the excess of contingent interest and principal amortization over 85% will be deferred until maturity of the Senior Notes in June 2006. Contingent interest plus additional principal payments will be due annually up to 85% of free cash flow. On September 30, 2002, the Company made a payment to the lenders of $1.6 million related to excess cash flow. Senior Subordinated Notes of $16 million with a fixed interest rate of 10% plus an additional 1.65% payable by delivery of a promissory note due July 23, 2007. The maturity date is July 23, 2007 and the notes are secured by a second lien on all assets. In addition to principal and interest, a payment of $8 million is due on the earliest of (i) maturity of the notes, (ii) prepayment of the notes, or (iii) sale of the Company. The original issue discount of $4.1 million on this non-interest bearing note at a market interest rate of 12% will be amortized over the life of the notes. The remaining balance of $3.4 million is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 29, 2002. The new credit facilities contain covenants regarding minimum levels of Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), maximum total debt to EBITDA, maximum senior debt to EBITDA, minimum EBITDA to cash interest, and minimum shareholders' equity. Certain covenants included in the credit facilities were amended in conjunction with the liquidation of Burgundy, as discussed in Note 5 above, in order to account for the recording of the related restructuring charge. The bank facilities also place restrictions on the amounts the Company may expend on acquisitions and purchases of treasury stock and currently prohibit the payment of dividends.

As part of the refinancing, the Company issued to the lenders warrants for non-voting common stock that are convertible into common stock equivalent to 65% of the shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis at a price of 11.3 cents per share. The warrants are non-callable and expire in six years. The value of the warrants of $2.4 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was credited to additional paid-in capital in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 29, 2002 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 30, 2001 Total net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 decreased $2.2 million, or 9.4%, to $21.6 million from $23.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. Net sales of throws decreased $73,000, or 7.7%, to $871,000, and net sales of infant and juvenile products decreased $2.2 million, or 9.4%, to $20.8 million. Of the decrease in sales of infant and juvenile products, management estimates that approximately $1.9 million was directly attributable to the West Coast port closure. At the time of the closure, the Company had forty containers in transit. The last of these containers took up to eight weeks to be received. The delivery time experienced during the slowdown averaged approximately 36 days from the Orient to the Company's warehouses compared to an approximate average of 21 to 24 days prior to the slowdown. In addition, the Company experienced slowdowns into December after the port re-opened due to problems in shipping empty containers back to Asia for reloading. This caused the Company's customers to miss selling days, which resulted in fewer reorders for the Company. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2003, cost of sales increased to 78.7% of net sales from 78% for the same period in fiscal year 2002. The decrease in gross margin is attributable to increases in freight cost due to the West Coast port closure. Marketing and administrative expenses decreased by $941,000, or 24.9%, in the current year quarter compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year and were 13.1% of net sales for the current quarter compared to 15.9% in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The decrease is a result of the elimination of duplicate positions and office locations. In the quarter ended December 2001, the Atlanta office remained open and overlapping positions existed between the Company's offices in Gonzales, Louisiana and Atlanta, Georgia. As discussed in Note 5 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company recorded a $1.8 million restructuring charge in the quarter ended December 29, 2002. In December 2002, the Company adopted a formal plan to change its sourcing strategy for certain products and close the Mexican manufacturing facility operated by its majority-owned subsidiary, Burgundy Interamericana ("Burgundy"). This decision was based on extensive research by management which indicated that, due to lower wages and the elimination of the quota on bibs, outsourcing the supply of products currently manufactured by Burgundy to Asian manufacturers was more cost effective and competitive than maintaining existing operations in Mexico. Under the plan, Burgundy A-11 will continue to operate through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003, at which time the Company will begin to liquidate Burgundy's assets. As a result of the decision, the Company recorded a $1.8 million restructuring charge to operations in the quarter ended December 29, 2002, which consists primarily of a write-down of the property and equipment at the Mexican facility of approximately $800,000, inventory items deemed to be in excess of production requirements of approximately $600,000, an accrual for contractual termination benefits of approximately $300,000 due Burgundy's entire workforce (approximately 130 employees) under the provisions of Mexico's labor regulations and the write-off of goodwill of approximately $60,000. The Company expects to pay approximately 65% of the severance benefits in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 and the remaining 35% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. The Company will continue to charge the ongoing operating costs associated with Burgundy's production in the period in which the costs are incurred. The Company estimates the total cost of liquidation, including costs to be incurred to operate until closure, to be approximately $2.2 million. Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 decreased by $238,000 because of a lower average debt balance and reduced interest rates. Income tax expense includes a provision for alternative minimum taxes of $37,000 and applicable state income taxes of $115,000. For the quarter ended December 30, 2001, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $121,000 due to the utilization of net operating carryforwards. NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 29, 2002 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 30, 2001 Total net sales for the nine months ended December 29, 2002 decreased $25.9 million, or 27.6%, to $68.0 million from $93.9 million for the same period in fiscal year 2002. Net sales of bedroom and bath products decreased $19.9 million, or 100%, net sales of throws decreased $475,000, or 18.3%, to $2.1 million, and net sales of infant and juvenile products decreased $5.5 million, or 7.8%, to $65.8 million. The decrease in sales of bedroom and bath products was the result of the sale of the Adult Bedding division on July 23, 2001. Of the decrease in sales of infant and juvenile products, management estimates that approximately $3 million was due to lost sales resulting from the West Coast port slowdown in September 2002 and the subsequent closure in October 2002 discussed above. The remaining decrease is attributable to lower reorders in ongoing business due to SKU reduction by certain major customers. During the nine months ended December 29, 2002, cost of sales decreased to 77.9% of net sales from 78.2% for the same period in fiscal year 2002. The decrease relates primarily to changes in product mix as a result of the divestment referenced above. Marketing and administrative expenses decreased by $7.1 million, or 42.7%, in the current year compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year and were 13.9% of net sales for the current year compared to 17.6% in the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease is a result of the divestment referenced above as well as the elimination of duplicate positions and locations. As discussed above and in Note 5 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company recorded a $1.8 million restructuring charge in the quarter ended December 29, 2002. Interest expense for the nine months ended December 29, 2002 decreased by $2.3 million because of a lower average debt balance and reduced interest rates. Due to accumulated losses, the income tax provision for the nine months ended December 29, 2002 includes a provision for federal alternative minimum tax of $75,000, along with a provision for state income taxes of $195,000, for a total tax provision of $270,000. For the nine months ended December 30, 2001, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $83,000. FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.3 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2002 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $8.1 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2001. Net cash used for investing activities was $303,000 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $18.1 million in the prior year period. Net cash used for financing activities was $6.2 million compared to net cash used for financing activities of $26.5 million in the prior year period. A-12 The Company's ability to make scheduled payments of principal, to pay the interest on or to refinance its maturing indebtedness, to fund capital expenditures or to comply with its debt covenants will depend upon future performance. The Company's future performance is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its control. Based upon the current level of operations, the Company believes that cash flow from operations together with revolving credit availability will be adequate to meet liquidity needs. To reduce its exposure to credit losses and to enhance its cash flow, the Company factors the majority of its trade accounts receivable. The Company's factor establishes customer credit lines and accounts for and collects receivable balances. The factor remits payment to the Company on the average due dates of the factored invoices. The factor assumes all responsibility for credit losses on sales within approved credit lines, but may deduct from its remittances to the Company the amounts of customer deductions for returns, allowances, disputes and discounts. The Company's factor at any time may terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If such a termination occurs, the Company may either assume the credit risks for shipments after the date of such termination or cease shipments to such customer. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities law. Such statements are based upon management's current expectations, projections, estimates and assumptions. Words such as "expects," "believes," "anticipates" and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated. These risks include, among others, general economic conditions, changing competition, the level and pricing of future orders from the Company's customers, the Company's dependence upon third-party suppliers, including some located in foreign countries with unstable political situations, the Company's ability to successfully implement new information technologies, the Company's ability to integrate its acquisitions and new licenses and the Company's ability to implement improvements in its acquired businesses. ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. The exposure to interest rate risk relates to its floating rate debt, $1.1 million of which was outstanding at December 29, 2002 compared to $5.5 million at March 31, 2002. Each 1.0 percentage point increase in interest rates would impact annual pretax earnings by $11,000 at the debt level of December 29, 2002 and $55,000 at the debt level of March 31, 2002. The exposure to commodity price risk primarily relates to changes in the price of cotton, which is a principal raw material in a substantial number of the Company's products. The exposure to foreign exchange rates relates to its Mexican manufacturing subsidiary. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, this subsidiary manufactured products for the Company with a value of approximately $3.9 million. The Company's investment in the subsidiary was approximately $2.6 million at March 31, 2002. In December 2002, the Company adopted a formal plan to liquidate this facility. ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date").
