NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1 - Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three and six months ended December 28, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 28, 2009.
The balance sheet information at June 29, 2008 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date.
The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
June 29, 2008.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income (Losses)
For the three and six months ended December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007, the
Company's comprehensive net income (losses) were equal to the respective net
income (losses) for each of the periods presented.
Fair Value Measurements
Effective June 30, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157") for certain financial
assets and liabilities. This standard establishes a framework for measuring fair
value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157
clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair
value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities,
quoted prices for indentically similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are
observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity's own assumptions
or external inputs for inactive markets.
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is
based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. As of December 30, 2008, the Company holds approximately $2.2
million of "level 1" cash equivalents that are measured at fair value on a
recurring basis. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities that are
based on "level 2" or "level 3" inputs.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (Revised), "Business
Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R") and SFAS 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements ("SFAS 160"). SFAS No. 141R and SFAS 160
revise the method of accounting for a number of aspects of business combinations
and non-controlling interests, including acquisition costs, contingencies

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
(including contingent assets, contingent liabilities and contingent purchase
price), the impacts of partial and step-acquisitions (including the valuation of
net assets attributable to non-acquired minority interests), and post
acquisition exit activities of acquired businesses. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 will
be effective for the Company during the fiscal year beginning June 29, 2009. The
Company cannot anticipate whether the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have a
material impact on its results of operations and financial condition as the
impact is solely dependent on the terms of any business combination entered into
by the Company after June 29, 2009.
On April 25, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3,
"Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets." This FSP amends the
factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions
used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," or SFAS 142. The intent of this
FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to
measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R and other generally accepted
accounting principles. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact, if any, that this FSP will have on its results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
Reclassifications
Certain balances in the prior fiscal periods have been reclassified to conform
with the presentation in the current fiscal year.
Note 2 - Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share
is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period, and excludes the effect of dilutive potential common shares
(consisting of employee stock options and unvested restricted stock awards) for
the three and six months ended December 28, 2008, as their inclusion would be
antidilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income
per common share:

Note 3 - Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan, which is more fully
described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in the
Company's 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, that provides for the grant to
eligible employees, consultants and directors of stock options, share
appreciation rights (SARs), restricted shares, restricted share units,
performance shares, performance units, dividend equivalents, and other
stock-based awards.
The amounts of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the periods
presented are as follows:

During Fiscal 2007, the Company implemented a long-term incentive equity award
plan ("LTIP"), which provides for the grant of performance based shares, earned
based upon actual three-year cumulative performance, as defined, measured
against pre-established targets. During the three month period ended December
28, 2008, the Company reversed all non-vested RSA'S previously accrued under its
LTIP program, amounting to $1.8 million, as minimum performance targets are not
expected to be achieved.
Stock-based compensation is recorded within the following line items of
operating expenses:

total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted
stock-based compensation to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining
period of 2.2 years.
Note 4 - Acquisitions
The Company accounts for its business combinations in accordance with SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations," which addresses financial accounting and reporting
for business combinations and requires that all such transactions be accounted
for using the purchase method. Under the purchase method of accounting for
business combinations, the aggregate purchase price for the acquired business is
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Operating results of the acquired
entities are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements from
date of acquisition.

Acquisition of Napco Marketing Corp.
On July 21, 2008, the Company acquired selected assets of Napco Marketing Corp.
(Napco), a wholesale merchandiser and marketer of products designed primarily
for the floral industry. The purchase price of approximately $10.9 million
included the acquisition of a fulfillment center located in Jacksonville, FL,
inventory, and certain other assets, as well as the assumption of certain
related liabilities, including their seasonal line of credit of approximately
$4.0 million. The acquisition was financed utilizing a combination of available
cash generated from operations and through borrowings against the Company's
revolving credit facility, which as described below, was subsequently amended by
the Company's 2008 Credit Facility. The purchase price includes an up-front cash
payment of $9.3 million, net of cash acquired, and potential "earn-out"
incentives, which amount to a maximum of $1.6 million through the years ending
July 2, 2012, upon achievement of specified performance targets.
The Company is in the process of finalizing its allocation of the purchase price
to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the
acquisition of Napco. This will result in potential adjustments to the carrying
value of Napco's recorded assets and liabilities. The preliminary allocation of
the purchase price included in the current period balance sheet is based on the
best estimates of management and is subject to revision based on final
determination of asset fair values and useful lives.
The following table summarizes the allocation of purchase price to the estimated
fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the

Acquisition of DesignPac Gifts LLC
On April 30, 2008, the Company acquired all of the membership interest in
DesignPac Gifts LLC (DesignPac), a designer, assembler and distributor of
gourmet gift baskets, gourmet food towers and gift sets, including a broad range
of branded and private label components, based in Melrose Park, IL. The
acquisition, for approximately $33.4 million in cash, net of cash acquired, was
financed utilizing a combination of available cash generated from operations and
through borrowings against the Company's revolving credit facility. The purchase
price is subject to potential "earn-out" incentives which amount to a maximum of
$2.0 million through the years ending June 27, 2010, upon achievement of
specified performance targets. In its most recently completed year ended
December 31, 2007, prior to the acquisition, DesignPac generated revenues of
approximately $53.3 million.

2008, the Company entered into a $293.0 million Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a group of
lenders (the "2008 Credit Facility"). The 2008 Credit Facility provides for
borrowings of up to $293.0 million, including: (i) a $165.0 million revolving
credit commitment, (ii) $60.0 million of new term loan debt, and (iii) $68.0
million of existing term loan debt associated with the Company's previous credit
facility. Outstanding amounts under the 2008 Credit Facility will bear interest
at the Company's option at either: (i) LIBOR plus a defined margin, or (ii) the
agent bank's prime rate plus a margin. The applicable margins for the Company's
existing term loan and revolving credit facility will range from 1.50% to 2.50%
for LIBOR loans and 0.50% to 1.50% for base rate loans, and the Company's new
term loan will range from 2.00% to 3.00% for LIBOR loans and 1.00% to 2.00% for
base rate loans in each case with pricing based upon the Company's leverage
ratio.
The Company is in the process of finalizing its allocation of the purchase price
to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the
acquisition of DesignPac. This will result in potential adjustments to the
carrying value of DesignPac's recorded assets and liabilities, the establishment
of certain additional intangible assets, revisions of useful lives of intangible
assets, some of which will have indefinite lives not subject to amortization,
and the determination of any residual amount that will be allocated to goodwill.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price included in the current period
balance sheet is based on the best estimates of management and is subject to
revision based on final determination of asset fair values and useful lives.
The following table summarizes the allocation of purchase price to the estimated
fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the
acquisition of DesignPac:
DesignPac

Total assets acquired 33,585

Current liabilities 184

Total liabilities assumed 184

Net assets acquired $33,401
====================
Although not finalized, of the $18.9 million of acquired intangible assets
related to the DesignPac acquisition, $6.4 million was assigned to trademarks
that are not subject to amortization, while the remaining acquired intangibles
of $12.5 million were allocated primarily to customer related intangibles which
are being amortized over the assets' determinable useful life of 10 years.
Approximately $12.1 million of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business
combination. The carrying value of the Company's goodwill was allocated to its
reporting units pursuant to SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other indefinite lived
intangibles are subject to an assessment for impairment, which must be performed
annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill
or other indefinite lived intangibles might be impaired. Goodwill impairment
testing involves a two-step process. Step 1 compares the fair value of the
10
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
Company's reporting units to their carrying values. If the fair value of the
reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is necessary. If
the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Step 2 must be
completed to quantify the amount of impairment. Step 2 calculates the implied
fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and
intangible assets, excluding goodwill, of the reporting unit, from the fair
value of the reporting unit as determined in Step 1. The implied fair value of
goodwill determined in this step is compared to the carrying value of goodwill.
If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of
goodwill, an impairment loss, equal to the difference, is recognized.
During the three months ended December 28, 2008, the Home and Children's Gift
segment experienced significant declines in revenue and operating performance
when compared to prior years and their strategic outlook. The Company believes
that this weak performance was attributable to reduced consumer spending due to
the overall weakness in the economy, and in particular, as a result of the
continued decline in demand for home decor products. As a result of these
factors, as well as the Company's plans to resize this category based on the
expectation of continued weekness in the home decor retail sector and a
significant reduction in the Company's market capitalization, upon completion of
the impairment analysis described above, the goodwill related to this reporting
unit was deemed to be fully impaired. Therefore, during the three months ended
December 28, 2008, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $18.3 million,
reducing the carrying value of goodwill to $105.4 million.
Fair value was determined using an income based approach, whereby the Company
estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, discounted by an estimated
weighted-average cost of capital, which reflected the overall level of inherent
risk of the reporting unit and the rate of return that an outside investor would
expect to earn. The Company reconciled the value of its reporting units to its
overall market capitalization to determine that its assumptions were consistent
with that of an outside investor.
The Company's other intangible assets consist of the following:

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may
not be recoverable.
As part of the aforementioned impairment analysis performed for the Home and
Children's Gift segment, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.8
million, related to the trade names and customer lists, which were determined to
be impaired due to changes in the business environment and adverse economic
conditions currently being experienced due to decreased consumer spending.
Estimated future amortization expense is as follows: remainder of fiscal 2009 -
$1.9 million, fiscal 2010 - $3.8 million, fiscal 2011 - $3.1 million, fiscal
2012 - $2.0, fiscal 2013 - $2.0 and thereafter - $7.3 million.

In order to fund the increase in working capital requirements associated with
DesignPac, and to provide for additional operational flexibility, on August 28,
2008, the Company entered into a $293.0 million Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a group of
lenders (the "2008 Credit Facility"). The 2008 Credit Facility provides for
borrowings of up to $293.0 million, including: (i) a $165.0 million revolving
credit commitment, (ii) $60.0 million of new term loan debt, and (iii) $68.0
million of existing term loan debt associated with the Company's previous credit
facility. Outstanding amounts under the 2008 Credit Facility will bear interest
at the Company's option at either: (i) LIBOR plus a defined margin, or (ii) the
agent bank's prime rate plus a margin. The applicable margins for the Company's
existing term loan and revolving credit facility will range from 1.50% to 2.50%
for LIBOR loans and 0.50% to 1.50% for base rate loans, and the Company's new
term loan will range from 2.00% to 3.00% for LIBOR loans and 1.00% to 2.00% for
base rate loans in each case with pricing based upon the Company's leverage
ratio.
At closing of the 2008 Credit Facility, the Company utilized the proceeds of the
new term loan to pay down amounts outstanding under its previous revolving
credit facility. The repayment terms of the existing term loan remain unchanged,
while the new term loan is required to be repaid in equal quarterly installments
of $3.0 million beginning in December 2008, with the final installment payment
due on August 28, 2013. The 2008 Credit Facility contains various conditions to
borrowing, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. The
obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the 2008 Credit Facility
are secured by liens on all personal property of the Company and its
subsidiaries.
Note 8 - Income Taxes
At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates its effective
income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. This estimate is
used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis and may change in
subsequent interim periods. During the three and six months ended December 28,
2008, the Company recorded income tax expense of $9.5 million and $6.0 million,
respectively, compared to $12.9 million and $9.2 million during the three and
six months ended December 30, 2007. The Company's effective tax rates for the
three and six months ended December 28, 2008 were 216.9% and 137.7%,
respectively, compared to 40.2% and 40.5% during the comparative three and six
months ended December 30, 2007. The effective rates during the three and six
months ended December 28, 2008 reflect the impact of non-deductible goodwill and
other intangible impairment charges aggregating approximately $20 million.
Excluding these charges, the effective rates during the three and six months
ended December 28, 2008 would have been 39.4% and 39.3%, respectively. The
adjusted effective rate during the three months ended December 28, 2008, and the
effective rate during the three months ended December 30, 2007 differed from the
U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes,
partially offset by various tax credits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and
various state jurisdictions. The tax years that remain subject to examination
are fiscal 2005 through fiscal 2008, with the exception of certain states where
the statute remains open from fiscal 2004, due to non-conformity with the
federal statute of limitations for assessment. The Company does not believe
there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the
next twelve months.
The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any
unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date
of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or
penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest
expense recognized during the quarter.
Note 9 - Business Segments
The Company's management reviews the results of the Company's operations by the
following four business categories:
o 1-800-Flowers.com Consumer Floral;
o BloomNet Wire Service;
o Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets; and
o Home and Children's Gifts.
Category performance is measured based on contribution margin, which includes
only the direct controllable revenue and operating expenses of the categories.
As such, management's measure of profitability for these categories does not
include the effect of corporate overhead (see (*) below), which are operated
under a centralized management platform, providing services throughout the
organization, nor does it include stock-based compensation, depreciation and
amortization, other income (net), goodwill and intangible impairment, and income
taxes. Assets and liabilities are reviewed at the consolidated level by
management and not accounted for by category.

Company also uses EBITDA as one of the factors used to determine the total
amount of bonuses available to be awarded to executive officers and other
employees. The Company's credit agreement uses EBITDA (with additional
adjustments) to measure compliance with covenants such as the interest
coverage ratio and consolidated leverage ratio. EBITDA is also used by the
Company to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. EBITDA has
limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as
reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) EBITDA does not
reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital
needs; (b) EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the
cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on
the Company's debts; and (c) although depreciation and amortization are
non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be
replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements
for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should
only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when
evaluating the Company's performance.

During the three months ended December 28, 2008, revenue declined by 1.5% in
comparison to the prior year period, resulting from significantly reduced
consumer spending during the key holiday period due to the overall weakness in
the economy, which impacted the Company's Home & Children's Gift and Consumer
Floral businesses particularly hard. The decline was offset in part by growth in
the Company's BloomNet Wire Service category, which increased 19.0% over the
prior year period due, in part, to the acquisition of Napco Marketing Corp.
(Napco), a wholesaler of floral hardgoods, in July 2008, and the Gourmet Food &
Gift Baskets category, which increased 28.3% over the prior year period due to
the acquisition of DesignPac Gifts LLC (DesignPac), a wholesaler of gift
baskets, in April 2008.
During the six months ended December 28, 2008, the Company's revenues increased
by 1.5% over the prior year period as a result of: (i) growth within the
BloomNet Wire Service category, which increased 36.4% over the prior year period
due, in part, to the acquisition of Napco, a wholesaler of floral hardgoods, in
July 2008, and (ii) Gourmet Food & Gift Baskets category, which increased 33.8%
over the prior year period, due to the acquisition of DesignPac, a wholesaler of
gift baskets, in April 2008. Organic revenue, including post acquisition growth
of DesignPac and Napco, and adjusted for the transition of Company-owned retail
stores to franchise operations, declined approximately 14.1% and 10.7% during
the three and six months ended December 28, 2008, reflecting the challenging
economic environment and its impact on consumer spending.
The Company fulfilled approximately 3,762,000 and 5,317,000 orders through its
E-commerce sales channels (online and telephonic sales) during the three and six
months ended December 28, 2008, respectively, a decrease of 14.6% and 12.2%,
over the respective prior year periods, reflecting a decline in consumer
spending during the key holiday period. The Company's E-commerce average order
values during the three and six months ended December 28, 2008, of $61.16 and
$63.54, decreased 1.8% and 1.0 % in comparison to the respective prior year
17
periods. Other revenues, for the three and six months ended December 28, 2008,
increased in comparison to the same periods of the prior year, as a result of
the Company's recent acquisitions of Napco and DesignPac, and through the growth
of BloomNet.
The 1-800-Flowers.com Consumer Floral category includes the operations of the
1-800-Flowers brand which derives revenue from the sale of consumer floral
products through its E-Commerce sales channels (telephonic and online sales) and
company-owned and operated retail floral stores, as well as royalties from its
franchise operations. Net revenues during the three and six months ended
December 28, 2008 decreased 14.9% and 10.5%, respectively, over the prior year
periods, due to lower order volume as a result of the decline in demand
throughout the consumer sector, combined with the continued transition of
Company owned retail stores to franchise operations, and a decline in average
order value in comparison to the prior year periods.
The BloomNet Wire Service category includes revenues from membership fees as
well as other product and service offerings to florists. Net revenues during the
three and six months ended December 28, 2008 increased 19.0% and 36.4%,
respectively, over the prior year period, primarily as a result of the
incremental revenue generated by the acquisition of Napco in July 2008, and
continued growth within the category as a result of market share improvements,
as well as expanded product and service offerings and pricing initiatives.
The Gourmet Food & Gift Baskets category includes the revenues of Cheryl & Co.,
Fannie May, Popcorn Factory, The Winetasting Network and DesignPac brands.
Revenue is derived from the sale of cookies, baked gifts, premium chocolates and
confections, gourmet popcorn, wine gifts and gift baskets through its E-commerce
sales channels (telephonic and online sales) and company-owned and operated
retail stores under the Cheryl & Co. and Fannie May brands, as well as wholesale
operations. Net revenue during the three and six months ended December 28, 2008
increased by 28.3% and 33.8%, respectively, over the prior year periods as a
result of incremental wholesales revenue generated by DesignPac, acquired in
April 2008, offset in part by decreased net revenue from the category's
E-Commerce and retail stores channels as a result of reduced consumer spending
during the key holiday period.
The Home & Children's Gifts category includes revenues from Plow & Hearth, Wind
& Weather, HearthSong and Magic Cabin brands. Revenue is derived from the sale
of home decor and children's gifts through its E-commerce sales channels
(telephonic and online sales) and company-owned and operated retail stores under
the Plow & Hearth brand. Net revenue during the three and six months ended
December 28, 2008 decreased by 20.7% and 18.2%, respectively, over the prior
year periods as a result of: (i) lower order volume from its E-commerce sales
channel, due to a combination of significantly reduced consumer spending,
particularly in the home decor product category, and a planned reduction in
catalog circulation designed to improve category contribution, (ii) as well as
lower retail store sales due to a decline in customer traffic during the
holiday. As a result of this weak performance, the Company is implementing a
plan to downsize the operations of its Home & Children's Gift category,
including a reduction in catalog marketing, resizing the business to align its
infrastructure with the expectation of continued weakness in the home decor
retail sector.
The Company expects economic conditions for consumers to continue to be very
challenging. Based on this outlook, and combined with its first half results,
the Company now anticipates that revenues for the full fiscal year 2009 will be
down approximately 5-to-10 percent compared with the prior year. In order to
mitigate the impact of the revenue decline, the Company plans to continue its
operating expense reduction programs which, from fiscal 2006 through fiscal
2008, reduced its operating expense ratio by 290 basis points.

Gross margin % 42.0% 45.8% 41.1% 44.4%
Gross profit decreased during the three and six months ended December 28, 2008,
primarily as a result of the decline in revenues described above, offset in part
by the incremental gross profit generated by the DesignPac and Napco
acquisitions. Gross margin percentage during the three and six months ended
December 28, 2008, decreased by 380 and 330 basis points, respectively,
primarily reflecting a combination of product mix associated with revenues from
the Company's most recent acquisitions, which are primarily wholesale
businesses, as well as increased promotional activity during the holiday period
to improve sales.
18
The 1-800-Flowers.com Consumer Floral category gross profit and gross profit
margin percentage decreased during the three and six months ended December 28,
2008 by 20.0% and 240 basis points, and 14.4% and 180 basis points,
respectively, over the prior year periods, as a result of decreased sales volume
and promotional pricing, which characterized the retail sector during this past
holiday period.
The BloomNet Wire Service category gross profit increased during the three and
six months ended December 28, 2008, by 20.5% and 32.8%, respectively, as
compared to the prior year periods, as a result of the aforementioned revenue
from the Napco acquisition in July 2008, as well as increased revenue resulting
from market share gains and expanded products and service offerings and pricing
initiatives. Gross profit margins during the three months ended December 28,
2008, increased by 80 basis points in comparison to the prior year as a result
of product mix, whereas gross profit margins decreased by 150 basis points
during the six months ended December 28, 2008, reflecting the impact of the
wholesale margins associated with the Napco product line during its heavy
selling period which falls within the Company's first fiscal quarter.
The Gourmet Food & Gift Basket category gross profit increased during the three
and six months ended December 28, 2008, by 3.7% and 7.1%, respectively, over the
prior year periods, primarily as a result of the incremental gross profit
generated by DesignPac, acquired in April 2008, which also had the effect of
decreasing gross margin percentage as DesignPac products carry lower wholesale
margins. Further negatively impacting the decreased gross profit margins during
the three and six months ended December 28, 2008 was the increased promotional
activity during the key holiday shopping period within the category's E-Commerce
and retail store sales channels, in comparison to the prior year periods.
The Home & Children's Gifts category gross profit during the three and six
months ended December 28, 2008, decreased by 19.3% and 16.9%, respectively, over
the prior year periods as a result of the aforementioned revenue declines,
offset in part by a higher gross margin percentage, which increased 80 basis
points to 48.3% and 70 basis points to 47.0%, respectively, benefiting from
enhanced product sourcing.
During the remainder of fiscal year 2009, the Company expects its gross margin
percentage will improve slightly in comparison to the prior year from product
mix, and anticipated gross margin improvements in most of its existing
businesses through a combination of product sourcing, fulfillment improvements,
fuel cost reductions and pricing initiatives, partially offset by reduced margin
percentage contribution from DesignPac, which carries a lower wholesale gross
margin, but a strong overall contribution margin due to its efficient high
volume packaging and distribution operations.

Percentage of net revenues 26.8% 28.0% 26.9% 28.4%
During the three and six months ended December 28, 2008, marketing and sales
expenses decreased 5.6% and 3.9% respectively, and declined to 26.8% and 26.9%
of net revenues, from 28.0% and 28.4% of net revenues, as a result of brand mix,
including the impact of DesignPac, which has low operating costs relative to its
revenue, and the Company's expense reduction initiatives. These programs, which
began in 2006, were designed to improve operating leverage across the Company's
brands, reducing the Company's operating expense ratio by 290 basis points
through fiscal 2008, and have been expanded and accelerated to mitigate the
revenue reductions that have been associated with the current economic decline.
Within marketing and sales, the Company has undertaken programs that have
reduced media, portal spending, and customer prospecting through catalogs, which
were not expected to generate sufficient returns in this challenging economic
environment. In addition, initiatives such as catalog printing and co-mailing,
e-mail pricing reductions and further virtualization of our consumer service
platform to reduce fixed facility and labor, have enabled the Company to improve
its cost structure.
19
During the three and six months ended December 28, 2008, the Company added
approximately 1,030,000 and 1,490,000 new E-commerce customers. Of the 2,402,000
and 3,442,000 total customers who placed E-commerce orders during the three and
six months ended December 28, 2008, approximately 57.1% and 56.7% were repeat
customers, compared to 54.4% and 53.9% during the respective prior year periods,
reflecting the Company's ongoing focus on deepening the relationship with its
existing customers as their trusted source for gifts and services for all of
their celebratory occasions.
During the remainder of fiscal 2009, the Company expects that marketing and
sales expense will continue to decrease in comparison to the prior year, but
increase slightly as a percentage of net revenues due to the anticipated
continued decline in sales. This decline is expected to be mitigated by the
aforementioned expense reduction initiatives, which include a 10% reduction in
the Company's salaried, full-time labor force, implemented at the beginning of
January 2009, as well as reductions in variable labor commensurate with lower
order volumes.

During the three months ended December 28, 2008, although consistent as a
percentage of net revenue, technology and development expense decreased by 4.6%
as a result of the Company's cost saving initiatives, which included labor and
consulting costs reductions, as well as contract re-negotiations of
maintenance/license agreements. During the six months ended December 28, 2008,
although consistent as a percentage of net revenues, technology and development
expense increased by 1.7% in comparison to the prior year period, as a result
of the incremental technology and integration costs associated with the
acquisitions of DesignPac and Napco.
During the three and six months ended December 28, 2008, the Company expended
$9.6 million and $21 million on technology and development, of which $4.4
million and $10.3 million has been capitalized.
The Company believes that continued investment in technology and development is
critical to attaining its strategic objectives, and as a result of the Company's
revised revenue expectations for the remainder of the year, the Company expects
that its spending for the remainder of fiscal 2009 will increase slightly, as a
percentage of net revenues, in comparison to the prior year.

General and administrative expense decreased 21.4% and 9.8% during the three and
six months ended December 28, 2008, respectively, and by 90 basis points and 70
basis points of net revenues in comparison to the respective prior year periods,
as the prior year periods reflect the achievement of certain cash and equity
performance based bonus targets, which are not expected to be earned in fiscal
2009, (refer to Note 3 for further information on equity based compensation), as
well as cost reduction initiatives, offset in part by the incremental expenses
of DesignPac and Napco.
Although the Company has accelerated its cost reduction initiatives, as a result
of the Company's revised revenue expectations, and the incremental expenses
associated with DesignPac and Napco, the Company expects that its general and
20
administrative expenses for the remainder of fiscal 2009 will increase as a
percentage of net revenues in comparison to the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 16.7% and 16.8% during the
three and six months ended December 28, 2008, in comparison to the prior year,
as a result of capital additions for technology platform improvements and the
incremental amortization related to the intangibles established as a result of
the acquisition of DesignPac in April 2008.
The Company believes that continued investment in its infrastructure, primarily
in the areas of technology and development, including the improvement of the
technology platforms, are critical to attaining its strategic objectives.
Although the Company has begun reducing its capital expenditure plan for the
remainder of fiscal 2009, as a result of the Company's revised revenue
expectations and the increase in amortization expense associated with
intangibles established as a result of recent acquisitions, the Company expects
that depreciation and amortization for the remainder of fiscal 2009 will
increase slightly as a percentage of net revenues in comparison to the prior
year.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles Impairment
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company assessed the recent
performance of its Home & Children's Gift category businesses and its plan to
resize this category based on the expectation of continued weakness in the home
decor retail sector. The Plow & Hearth, Wind & Weather, HearthSong and Magic
Cabin brands experienced lower revenue growth than anticipated with
deteriorating operating margins. This shortfall was primarily attributable to
decreased consumer spending as a result of the challenging economic environment.
As a result of this analysis, impairment charges related to goodwill and other
intangibles totaling $20.0 million were recorded. (Refer to Note 6 for further
details).

Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest income earned on the
Company's investments and available cash balances, offset by interest expense,
primarily attributable to the Company's long-term debt and revolving line of
credit.
Net borrowing costs increased during the three and six months ended December 28,
2008, in comparison to the prior year periods, primarily as a result of
incremental borrowings and related financing costs associated with the Company's
2008 Credit Facility (as defined below).
On August 28, 2008, the Company entered into a $293.0 million Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative
agent, and a group of lenders (the "2008 Credit Facility"). The 2008 Credit
Facility provides for borrowings of up to $293.0 million, including: (i) a
$165.0 million revolving credit commitment, (ii) $60.0 million of new term loan
debt, and (iii) $68.0 million of existing term loan debt associated with the
21
Company's 2006 Credit Facility. Outstanding amounts under the 2008 Credit
Facility will bear interest at the Company's option at either: (i) LIBOR plus a
defined margin, or (ii) the agent bank's prime rate plus a margin. The
applicable margins for the Company's existing term loan and revolving credit
facility will range from 1.50% to 2.50% for LIBOR loans and 0.50% to 1.50% for
base rate loans, and the Company's new term loan will range from 2.00% to 3.00%
for LIBOR loans and 1.00% to 2.00% for base rate loans in each case with pricing
based upon the Company's leverage ratio. At closing of the 2008 Credit Facility,
the Company utilized the proceeds of the new term loan to pay down amounts
outstanding under its previous revolving credit facility.
Income Taxes
During the three and six months ended December 28, 2008, the Company recorded
income tax expense of $9.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively, compared to
$12.9 million and $9.2 million during the three and six months ended December
30, 2007. The Company's effective tax rates for the three and six months ended
December 28, 2008 were 216.9% and 137.7%, respectively, compared to 40.2% and
40.5% during the comparative periods of the prior year. The effective rates
during the three and six months ended December 28, 2008, reflect the impact of
non-deductible goodwill and other intangible impairment charges of $20.0
million. Excluding these charges, the effective rates during the three and six
months ended December 28, 2008 would have been 39.4% and 39.3%, respectively.
The adjusted effective rates during the three and six months ended December 28,
2008 and December 30, 2007, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%
primarily due to state income taxes, partially offset by various tax credits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 28, 2008, the Company had working capital of $72.2 million,
including cash and equivalents of $51.1 million, compared to working capital of
$33.4 million, including cash and equivalents of $12.1 million, at June 29,
2008.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $13.6 million for the six months
ended December 28, 2008 was primarily attributable to net income, adjusted for
non-cash charges related to goodwill and other intangible charges (approximately
$20.0 million), and depreciation and amortization, as well as seasonal changes
in working capital including higher accounts payable and accrued expenses
associated with inventory purchases related to the previous and upcoming holiday
periods, and increases in receivables due to the timing of customer payments
related to DesignPac's wholesale business, as well as increases in inventory due
to acquired businesses, and timing of purchases for the upcoming holidays.
Net cash used in investing activities of $22.8 million for the six months ended
December 28, 2008 was attributable to capital expenditures, primarily related to
the Company's technology and distribution infrastructure, and the acquisition of
Napco in July 2008. The purchase price of approximately $10.9 million, includes
an up-front cash payment of $9.3 million, net of cash acquired, and potential
"earn-out" incentives, which amount to a maximum of $1.6 million through the
years ending July 2, 2012, upon achievement of specified performance targets.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $48.1 million for the six months
ended December 28, 2008 was primarily from bank borrowings related to the
Company's 2008 Credit Facility, net of the repayment of bank borrowings on
outstanding debt and long-term capital lease obligations, as well as debt
issuance costs.
In order to fund the increase in working capital requirements associated with
DesignPac, and to provide operating flexibility, on August 28, 2008, the Company
entered into a $293.0 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a group of lenders (the
"2008 Credit Facility"). The 2008 Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up
to $293.0 million, including: (i) a $165.0 million revolving credit commitment,
(ii) $60.0 million of new term loan debt, and (iii) $68.0 million of existing
term loan debt associated with the Company's previous credit facility.
Outstanding amounts under the 2008 Credit Facility will bear interest at the
Company's option at either: (i) LIBOR plus a defined margin, or (ii) the agent
bank's prime rate plus a margin. The applicable margins for the Company's
existing term loan and revolving credit facility will range from 1.50% to 2.50%
for LIBOR loans and 0.50% to 1.50% for base rate loans, and the Company's new
term loan will range from 2.00% to 3.00% for LIBOR loans and 1.00% to 2.00% for
base rate loans in each case with pricing based upon the Company's leverage
ratio. At closing of the 2008 Credit Facility, the Company utilized the proceeds
of the new term loan to pay down amounts outstanding under its previous
revolving credit facility. The repayment terms of the existing term loan remain
unchanged, while the new term loan is required to be repaid in equal quarterly
installments of $3.0 million beginning in December 2008, with the final
installment payment due on August 28, 2013.
22
At December 28, 2008, the Company had no outstanding amounts under its revolving
credit facility.
On January 21, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an increase to
its stock repurchase plan which, when added to the funds remaining on its
earlier authorization, increased the amount available for repurchase to $15.0
million. Any such purchases could be made from time to time in the open market
and through privately negotiated transactions, subject to general market
conditions. The repurchase program will be financed utilizing available cash. As
of December 28, 2008, $13.6 million remains authorized but unused.
At December 28, 2008, the Company's contractual obligations consist of:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial position and results of
operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements of
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., which have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management
evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition,
inventory and long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets
related to acquisitions. Management bases its estimates and judgments on
historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies,
among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in
preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Net revenues are generated by E-commerce operations from the Company's online
and telephonic sales channels as well as other operations (retail/wholesale) and
primarily consist of the selling price of merchandise, service or outbound
shipping charges, less discounts, returns and credits. Net revenues are
recognized upon product shipment. Shipping terms are FOB shipping point. Net
revenues generated by the Company's BloomNet Wire Service operations include
membership fees as well as other products and service offerings to florists.
Membership fees are recognized monthly in the period earned, and products sales
are recognized upon product shipment with shipping terms of FOB shipping point.
Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of its customers or franchisees to make required
payments. If the financial condition of the Company's customers or franchisees
were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make
payments, additional allowances may be required.
23
Inventory
The Company states inventory at the lower of cost or market. In assessing the
realization of inventories, we are required to make judgments as to future
demand requirements and compare that with inventory levels. It is possible that
changes in consumer demand could cause a reduction in the net realizable value
of inventory.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets acquired and is evaluated annually for impairment. The cost of
intangible assets with determinable lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of
economic benefits consumed, on a straight-line basis, over the estimated periods
benefited, ranging from 3 to 16 years.
The Company performs an annual impairment test as of the first day of its fiscal
fourth quarter, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist, to
evaluate goodwill. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the
reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. In assessing the recoverability
of goodwill, the Company reviews both quantitative as well as qualitative
factors to support its assumptions with regard to fair value. Determining the
fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of
significant estimates and other assumptions, including revenue growth and
operating margins, discount rates and future market conditions, among others.
Judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based on market
conditions and operational performance of the Company. Future events could cause
the Company to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill and
other intangible assets associated with our acquired businesses is impaired.
Capitalized Software
The carrying value of capitalized software, both purchased and internally
developed, is periodically reviewed for potential impairment indicators. Future
events could cause the Company to conclude that impairment indicators exist and
that capitalized software is impaired.
Stock-based Compensation
SFAS No. 123R requires the measurement of stock-based compensation expense based
on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The Company determines the
fair value of stock options issued by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model considers a range of assumptions
related to volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and employee
exercise behavior. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of
the Company's stock price. The dividend yield is based on historical experience
and future expectations. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the US
Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Black-Scholes model
also incorporates expected forfeiture rates, based on historical behavior.
Determining these assumptions is subjective and complex, and therefore, a change
in the assumptions utilized could impact the calculation of the fair value of
the Company's stock options.
Income Taxes
The Company has established deferred income tax assets and liabilities for
temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the income tax
bases of its assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in
effect when such assets or liabilities are realized or settled. The Company has
recognized as a deferred tax asset the tax benefits associated with losses
related to operations, which are expected to result in a future tax benefit.
Realization of this deferred tax asset assumes that we will be able to generate
sufficient future taxable income so that these assets will be realized. The
factors that we consider in assessing the likelihood of realization include the
forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that
could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets.
It is the Company's policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the
related interest and penalties based upon management's assessment of whether a
tax benefit is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing
authorities. To the extent that the Company prevails in matters for which a
liability for an unrecognized tax benefit is established or is required to pay
amounts in excess of the liability, the Company's effective tax rate in a given
financial statement period may be affected.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (Revised), "Business
Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R") and SFAS 160, "Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS No. 141R and SFAS 160
revise the method of accounting for a number of aspects of business combinations
and non-controlling interests, including acquisition costs, contingencies
(including contingent assets, contingent liabilities and contingent purchase
price), the impacts of partial and step-acquisitions (including the valuation of
net assets attributable to non-acquired minority interests), and post
acquisition exit activities of acquired businesses. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 will
be effective for the Company during the fiscal year beginning June 29, 2009. The
Company cannot anticipate whether the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have a
material impact on its results of operations and financial condition as the
impact is solely dependent on the terms of any business combination entered into
by the Company after June 29, 2009.
On April 25, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3,
"Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets." This FSP amends the
factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions
used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," or SFAS 142. The intent of this
FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to
measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R and other generally accepted
accounting principles. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact, if any, that this FSP will have on its results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
Forward-Looking Information and Factors that May Affect Future Results
Our disclosure and analysis in this report contain forward-looking information
about the Company's financial results and estimates and business prospects that
involve substantial risks and uncertainties. From time to time, we also may
provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release
to the public. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or
forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that
they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They use words such as
"will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan,"
"believe," "target," "forecast" and other words and terms of similar meaning in
connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In
particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future
performance, new products and product categories, the outcome of contingencies,
such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Among the factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially are the following:
o the Company's ability:
o to achieve revenue and profitability;
o to reduce costs and enhance its profit margins;
o to manage the increased seasonality of its business;
o to effectively integrate and grow acquired companies;
o to cost effectively acquire and retain customers;
o to compete against existing and new competitors;
o to manage expenses associated with sales and marketing and necessary
general and administrative and technology investments;
o to cost efficiently manage inventories; and
o leverage its operating infrastructure;
o general consumer sentiment and economic conditions that may affect
levels of discretionary customer purchases of the Company's products;
and
o competition from existing and potential new competitors.
25
We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized,
although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions.
Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate
assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary
materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected.
Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.
We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date of this report.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are
advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects
in our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended June
29, 2008 listed various important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from expected and historic results. We note these factors for
investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Readers can find them in Part I, Item 1A, of that filing under the heading
"Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995". We incorporate that section of that Form 10-K in this filing and
investors should refer to it. You should understand that it is not possible to
predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any
such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes
in interest rates primarily from its investment of available cash balances in
money market funds and investment grade corporate and U.S. government
securities, as well as from outstanding debt. As of December 28, 2008, the
Company's outstanding debt, including current maturities, approximated $118.7
million, of which $118.6 million was variable rate debt. Each 25 basis point
change in interest rates would have a corresponding effect on our interest
expense of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three months
and six months ended December 28, 2008, respectively. Under its current
policies, the Company does not use interest rate derivative instruments to
manage exposure to interest rate changes.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end
of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end
of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures
are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information
required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic reports filed with the SEC.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such
term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the three
months ended December 28, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims
arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not aware of any such
legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the
aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
The Risk Factor presented below should be read in conjunction with the risk
factors and information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended June 29, 2008.
The financial and credit markets have been and continue to experience
unprecedented disruption, which may have an adverse effect on our customers'
spending patterns and in turn our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Consumer spending patterns are difficult to predict and are sensitive to the
general economic climate, the consumer's level of disposable income, consumer
debt, and overall consumer confidence. The ongoing global financial crisis
affecting the banking system and financial markets has resulted in a low level
of consumer confidence. During our first and second fiscal quarters of 2009, the
volatility and disruption in the financial markets have reached unprecedented
levels. This financial crisis has impacted and may continue to impact our
business in a number of ways. Included among these current and potential future
negative impacts are reduced demand and lower prices for our products and
services. Declines in consumer spending has, during our second fiscal quarter of
2009, and may continue to reduce our revenues, gross margins and earnings. We
are currently operating in challenging macroeconomic conditions which have
continued into the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and we believe may continue
during the remainder of fiscal 2009 and into fiscal 2010.
