CROWN CRAFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
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
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, such interim consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the Company's financial position as of December 26, 1999 and the
results of its operations and comprehensive (loss) income and its cash
flows for the periods ended December 26, 1999 and December 27, 1998.
Such adjustments include normal recurring accruals and a pro rata
portion of certain estimated annual expenses. Operating results for the
nine-month period ended December 26, 1999, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
April 2, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the annual
report of Form 10-K for the year ended March 28, 1999 of Crown Crafts,
Inc. (the "Company").
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ
from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No.
133). This statement requires that all derivatives be recognized in the
statement of financial position as either assets or liabilities and
measured at fair value. In addition, all hedging relationships must be
designated, reassessed and documented pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 1999. In June 1999, FASB issued Statement No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which amends
the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. The effect on the financial
statements upon adoption of SFAS No. 133 has not been determined.
2. In 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company's principal
segments include adult home furnishing and juvenile products,
consisting of bedroom products (adult comforters and accessories),
throws and decorative home accessories (primarily jacquard-woven
throws in cotton, acrylic, rayon or chenille), and juvenile products
(primarily Pillow Buddies). The second principal segment is infant
products, consisting of infant bedding, bibs, and infant soft goods.
The Company tracks revenues and operating profit information for these
two business segments.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ERP SOFTWARE
At the beginning of the second fiscal quarter, the Company's financial reporting
system and its woven products division converted from its legacy computer
systems to the new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") software package that
had been in preparation for 13 months. The conversion encountered more
difficulty than had been anticipated. The most significant problems have been an
impaired ability to ship and bill orders on a timely basis, especially in the
pick and pack operations that support the Goodwin Weavers division and certain
of the Crown Crafts operations. The Company has identified a number of
operational and system issues contributing to the problems and implemented a
plan to rectify them. Among the actions taken were some system modifications,
refinements of business procedures, clean-up of corrupted and inaccurate data, a
complete physical inventory in affected facilities, and a controlled restart of
operations on January 24, 2000. Following these actions, the system is
performing much better than it had in the past, but several more weeks of
operating experience will be required to assess the performance fully.
7
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Company's computer applications and systems entered the year 2000 without
any significant difficulties. In addition, the Company did not experience any
difficulties or disruptions to its operations in dealing with third parties.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 26, 1999 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER
27, 1998
Net sales declined $29.4 million, or 24.4%, to $91 million in the current year
quarter compared to $120.4 million in the third quarter last fiscal year. The
largest decline, from $46.1 million to $27.2 million (41.1%), was in the throws
and decorative home accessories products group. There were four factors
affecting revenues for this product group in the quarter: First, in March, 1999,
the Company sold Textile, Inc., a weaving facility in Ronda, North Carolina, as
a planned reduction in capacity for this group; second, in the current fiscal
year, manufacturing capacity was shifted to woven bedspreads which are sold by
the bedroom products group; the third factor in the decline in sales of throws
and decorative home accessories products in the quarter was related to
implementation of the ERP software system discussed above; and, lastly, the
third quarter in the prior fiscal year included approximately $14 million in
sales of imported fleece products which the Company did not handle directly this
year.
In the infant and juvenile products group, sales in the current quarter declined
by 18.7%, or $6 million, to $26 million from $32 million in the prior year
quarter. The sales decline was all related to a repositioning of the Pillow
Buddies product line to the direct shipment of licensed products and is
transitional in nature. This resulted in approximately $7 million of lower
revenues compared to the prior year quarter. Accordingly, revenues of infant
products in this group were up by about $700,000, or by 3.2%.
Sales of bedroom products decreased by $4.2 million, or 10.1%, in the current
year quarter to $37.8 million from $42 million in last year's third quarter. The
decline in sales of bedroom products resulted from a decrease in sales of the
Company's in-house studio line of products and final shipments in the prior year
quarter of the discontinued mass merchant line of products. These decreases were
partially off-set by an increase in the Calvin Klein Home product line of
approximately $3.4 million and increased volume of woven bedcoverings.
For the third quarter, gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to
16% compared to 19% in the prior year quarter. The decline in gross margin, the
decline in revenues, and an $823,000 increase in customer deductions from
payments, led to a decrease in gross profits of approximately $8.2 million. This
decline was partly the result of higher expenses and the lower absorption of
fixed overhead costs in the Company's Georgia operations because of lower volume
related to the ERP project and because of capacity issues at the Company's
Roxboro, North Carolina manufacturing facilities due to the loss of a mass
merchant bedding program and slow progress in the transition of the Calvin Klein
Home product line from outside manufacturers into this plant. Also affecting
margins in the quarter was the sale of close-out and irregular inventory of
about $3 million at a loss of about $1.4 million.
Marketing and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $1.8 million in
the quarter compared to the third quarter of last fiscal year, but were15.2% on
a lower level of net sales, compared to 12.9% of net sales in the prior year.
The principal decline in expenses ($1.1 million) occurred in marketing and
retail store expenses due to the lower sales volume and because of fewer retail
stores than in the prior year quarter.
Interest expense increased by $425,000 versus the prior year quarter because of
higher effective interest rates in the Company's loan agreements compared to
rates in the prior agreements.
The effective income tax rate during the quarter was affected by results of the
Company's Mexican manufacturing facility and by higher effective state income
tax rates. In the prior year, the tax rate was affected by non-deductible
expenses associated with acquisitions.
8
NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 26, 1999 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER
27, 1998
For the nine months ended December 26, 1999, net sales compared to the prior
year period declined by $34.1 million, or 12.4%, to $240.9 million in the
current year compared to $275 million for the first three quarters last fiscal
year. Sales of bedroom products increased 2.7% from $104.1 million to $106.9
million. The sales increase resulted from the addition of the Calvin Klein Home
line of products and higher volume in woven bedcoverings. Net sales of throws
and decorative home accessories for the nine months declined by 34.2% at $53.5
million compared to $81.2 million in the prior fiscal year. The factors
affecting sales in this product group are the same as those discussed for the
three months ended December 26, 1999. In the infant and juvenile product group,
net sales decreased by 9.7% from $89 million to $80.3 million. The lower level
of sales was solely because of the repositioning of the Pillow Buddies line of
products discussed above.
In the first nine months of the current fiscal year, gross profit decreased to
$37.2 million compared to $49.3 million for the nine months ended December 27,
1998 and the gross margin declined from 17.9% in the prior year to 15.4%. The
factors affecting gross profits and gross margin were four-fold: an increase of
$3.8 million in deductions from and reserves for customer payments; the sale of
close-out and discontinued inventory of approximately $13 million at loss of $5
million; lower volume to absorb fixed costs in the woven division because of the
ERP project; and underabsorption of overhead costs in the bedding division as
the Calvin Klein Home products are transitioned into the North Carolina
manufacturing plant.
In the nine month period ended December 26, 1999, marketing and administrative
expenses were lower by $2.6 million compared to the prior year period and were
16.2% of net sales in the current period compared to 15.2% last fiscal year. The
decline was due to lower selling expenses on the reduced volume, lower retail
expenses because of a reduction in the number of company-operated outlet stores
and reduced goodwill amortization because of the sale of Textile, Inc.
Interest expense increased by $2.5 million in the first nine months of the
current fiscal year because of higher average borrowings and because of higher
effective interest rates.
The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 26, 1999 at
35.6% was affected by operations at the Company's Mexican manufacturing
subsidiary, but was at more normal levels than in the prior fiscal period where
the rate was affected by a high percentage of non-deductible expenses related to
acquisitions and state income taxes.
FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 26, 1999, the Company had committed credit facilities with two
commercial banks totaling $85 million at interest rates equal to each bank's
base plus 1% to 1 1/2% or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.75%.
The amounts owed, the interest rate and the maturity of these facilities at
December 26, 1999 is summarized in the following table (in thousands):
Amounts Interest
Owed Rate Maturity
- ------- ---------- --------
$13,736 9.50%-9.75% On Demand
7,000 9.50%-9.75% January 15, 2000

- -------
52,736
30,000 8.85%-8.86% April 3, 2000

$82,736
=======
In addition, approximately $2.1 million of letters of credit were outstanding
under these facilities at December 26, 1999.
9
In the quarter ended December 26, 1999, one of the commercial banks converted
its $30 million facility due January 15, 2000 to an uncommitted line of credit,
under provisions of the loan agreement.
The Company's notes in the amount of $42,856,143 are placed with an insurance
company, carry an interest rate of 10.42% and are due in annual installments of
$7,143,857 through October 2005. The installment due on October 12, 1999 was
paid by the Company.
To support the bank facilities and the insurance company notes, the Company has
granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets. These assets
also support a borrowing base which limits the amounts the Company may borrow
under the agreements with its lenders and advances it may take from its factor.
Under the borrowing base, the Company had available $11.1 million at December
26, 1999.
In addition, the agreements with the banks and insurance company contain
covenants requiring the Company to maintain minimum levels of shareholders'
equity and certain financial ratios, and restrict the amounts the Company may
expend on acquisitions and purchases of treasury stock. The agreement with the
insurance company also requires the Company to maintain a ratio of total debt to
total capitalization. The Company was not in compliance with certain provisions
of its loan agreements at December 26, 1999.
To reduce its exposure to credit losses and to enhance its cash flow forecasts,
the Company factors the majority of its trade accounts receivable. The Company's
factor establishes customer credit lines, and accounts for and collect
receivable balances. The factor remits payments to the Company on the due dates
of the factored invoices. The factor assumes all responsibility for credit
losses on sales with 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.
The agreements with its lenders, described above, provide for the Company to
finance its seasonal working capital needs by taking advances against its
factored receivables of up to $30 million. At December 26, 1999, the Company had
taken such advances totaling $8,690,000 compared to no advances at December 27,
1998. The Company accounts for these advance payments on its balance sheet as a
reduction in Accounts Receivable - Due from Factor.
At December 26, 1999, total debt, including factor advances, increased by
approximately $11.6 million to $134.4 million from $122.8 million at December
27, 1998. The increase in borrowings was affected by the continuing operating
performance of the Company, partially off-set by a $14.6 million decline in
inventories compared to December 27, 1998. The decline in inventories resulted
from the Company's emphasis on the disposition of close-out and discontinued
merchandise, discussed above.
Subsequent to December 26, 1999, the Company presented a plan to its lenders to
reduce debt and return operations to profitability. In response to this plan,
the lenders agreed in principal to amend certain provisions of the Company's
loan agreements to correct the non-compliance issues, to extend certain matured
facilities to April 3, 2000, and to provide additional funding of $10 million.
As a condition to these agreements in principal, the Company has agreed to
discontinue dividends on its common stock. Although documentation for these
agreements is not yet fully completed, the Company believes that it will be
agreed to and executed in the near future.
The Company can, however, give no assurances in regards to the final
documentation mentioned above nor that certain lenders will extend the maturity
of their facilities beyond the April 3, 2000 date. If the Company is unable to
reach final agreement with its lenders or obtain extension of certain of its
agreements, the Company's ability to meet its obligations could be impaired.
