(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 nine months ended April 2, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 2, 2006.
The balance sheet information at July 3, 2005 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
July 3, 2005.
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
For the three and nine months ended April 2, 2006 and March 27, 2005, the
Company's comprehensive income was equal to the respective net income (loss)for
each of the periods presented.

Note 3 - Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan, which is more fully
described in Note 9 of the Company's 2005 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
share-based awards.
Prior to July 4, 2005, as permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company accounted
for its stock option plans following the recognition and measurement principles
of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Accordingly, no stock-based
compensation had been reflected in net income for stock options, as all options
granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common
stock on the date of grant and the related number of shares granted was fixed at
that point in time.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." This Statement revised SFAS No. 123 by
eliminating the option to account for employee stock options under APB No. 25
and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in
exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of
those awards (the "fair-value-based" method).
Effective July 4, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective application method.
Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the three and nine
months ended April 2, 2006 includes amounts of: (a) compensation cost of all
stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, July 4, 2005
(based on grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original
provisions of SFAS No. 123, and previously presented in the pro-forma footnote
disclosures), and (b) compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted
subsequent to July 3, 2005 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in
accordance with the new provision of SFAS No. 123(R)). In accordance with the
modified prospective method, results for prior periods have not been restated.
Prior to the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), benefits of tax deduction in
excess of recognized compensation costs were reported as operating cash flows.
SFAS No. 123(R) requires excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash
inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid. There were no significant
excess tax benefits for the nine-month period ended April 2, 2006.
The following table summarizes the effect of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) as of
July 4, 2005:

stock options and restricted stock awards, totaled $1.1 million and $3.1 million
($0.7 million and $2.3 million, net of tax) during the three and nine months
ended April 2, 2006, respectively.
Under the modified prospective application method, results for prior periods
have not been restated to reflect the effects of implementing SFAS No. 123(R).
The following pro-forma information, as required by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123," is presented for comparative purposes and illustrates the
effect on net income and net income per common share for the periods presented
as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.

(a) In March 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of all unvested
stock options awarded to employees and officers which had an exercise
price greater than $10.00 per share. Options to purchase approximately
1.9 million shares became exercisable immediately as a result of the
vesting acceleration. The decision to accelerate the vesting of the
identified stock options resulted in the Company not being required to
recognize share-based compensation expense of approximately $2.1
million in fiscal 2006 and $0.9 million in fiscal 2007. In making this
decision, the Company sought to balance the benefit of eliminating the
requirement to recognize compensation expense in future periods with
the need to continue to motivate employee performance through
previously issued, but currently unvested, stock option grants. With
those factors being considered, management determined it to be
appropriate to only accelerate those unvested stock options where the
strike price was reasonably in excess of the Company's then current
stock price.
The effect of accelerating the vesting for all unvested shares with
exercise prices greater than $10.00 per share was an increase to the
pro-forma stock based employee compensation expense for the three and
nine months ended March 27, 2005 of $3.8 million ($0.06 per basic and
diluted share).
The weighted average fair value of stock options on the date of grant, and the
assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock options using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model were as follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
---------------------------- ----------------------------
April 2, March 27, April 2, March 27,
2006 2005 2006 2005
------------- -------------- -------------- -------------
Weighted average fair value of
options granted $3.05 $4.10 $3.10 $4.55
Expected volatility 46% 57% 46% 61%

Risk-free interest rate 4.5% 3.9% 4.5% 3.8%
Expected dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
6
The expected volatility of the option is determined using historical
volatilities based on historical stock prices. The expected life of options
granted in fiscal 2005 was based on the Company's historical share option
exercise experience. Due to minimal exercising of stock options, in fiscal 2006,
the Company estimated the expected life of options granted to be the average of
the Company's historical expected term from vest date and the midpoint between
the average vesting term and the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate
is determined using the yield available for zero-coupon U.S. government issues
with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. The Company has
never paid a dividend, and as such the dividend yield is 0.0%.
The following table summarizes stock option activity during the nine months
ended April 2, 2006:

Outstanding at July 3, 2005 9,477,461 $8.35

Options vested or expected to vest at April 2, 2006 9,721,434 $8.14 6.0 years $10,852
Exercisable at April 2, 2006 6,588,044 $8.72 4.9 years $9,468
As of April 2, 2006, the total future compensation cost related to nonvested
options not yet recognized in the statement of income was $7.2 million and the
weighted average period over which these awards are expected to be recognized
was 1.6 years.
The Company grants shares of Common Stock to its employees that are subject to
restrictions on transfer and risk of forfeiture until fulfillment of applicable
service conditions and, in certain cases, holding periods (Restricted Stock). In
fiscal 2005, the Company recorded the grant date fair value of unvested shares
of Restricted Stock as unearned stock-based compensation ("Deferred
Compensation"). In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), in fiscal 2006, the Company
reclassified the balance of Deferred Compensation against additional paid-in
capital, and reduced its shares of Class A Common Stock issued accordingly.
The following table summarizes the activity of non-vested restricted stock
during the nine months ended April 2, 2006:
Weighted
Average Grant
Date Fair
Shares Value
------------- ----------------
Non-vested at July 3, 2005 155,919 $8.39

Forfeited (9,949) $8.35
-------------
Non-vested at April 2, 2006 304,869 $7.44
=============
The fair value of nonvested shares is determined based on the closing stock
price on the grant date. As of April 2, 2006, there was $1.4 million of total
unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock-based
compensation to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 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 Wind & Weather
On October 31, 2005, the Company acquired Wind & Weather, a Fort Bragg,
California based direct marketer of weather-themed gifts, with annual revenues
of approximately $14.4 million during its then most recently completed fiscal
year ended March 31, 2005. The purchase price of approximately $5.2 million,
including acquisition costs, was funded utilizing the Company's line of credit
which was repaid during the Company's second quarter utilizing cash generated
from operations, and excludes the assumption of Wind & Weather's $1.2 million
balance on its seasonal working capital line. During the quarter ended April 2,
2006, the Company relocated the operations of Wind & Weather to its Madison,
Virginia facility, and terminated operations in California.
The Company is in the process of obtaining independent appraisals for the
purpose of allocating the purchase price to individual assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. This will result in potential adjustments to the carrying
value of Wind & Weather'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 preliminary allocation of purchase price to the
estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of
acquisition:

acquisition, $1.0 million was assigned to trademarks that are not subject to
amortization, while the remaining acquired intangibles of $0.8 million were
allocated primarily to customer lists which are being amortized over the assets'
preliminarily determinable useful life of 5 years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
In order to fund working capital requirements during its most recent holiday
selling season and to support outstanding letters of credit, as well as
temporarily finance the acquisition of Wind & Weather referred to in Note 4, on
October 27, 2005, the Company established a second line of credit in the amount
of $20.0 million, bringing its total available credit facilities to $25.0
million. The credit facilities, which are collateralized by the Company's
working capital, bear interest equal to the applicable LIBOR Index plus 1.50%
per annum. At April 2, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding under its credit
facilities.
Refer to Note 10 - Subsequent Event - Acquisition of Fannie May Confections
Brands, Inc. On May 1, 2006, the Company entered into a $135.0 million secured
credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a
group of lenders to finance the acquisition of Fannie May Confections Brands,
Inc. and established a new revolving credit facility.
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. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and
nine months ending April 2, 2006 was 41.4% and 50.9%, respectively, compared to
43.0% and 40.7% during the comparative three and nine month periods ended March
27, 2005, respectively. The effective tax rate during the three and nine months
ended April 2, 2006 includes the impact of stock-based compensation recognized
in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), and resulted in an increase in the effective
annual income tax rate of approximately 10.2%, resulting primarily from the
associated book/tax differences in accounting for incentive stock options.
Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies
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 consolidated financial position,
results of operations or liquidity.
Note 10 - Subsequent Event - Acquisition of Fannie May Confections Brands, Inc.
On May 1, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of Fannie May Confections
Brands, Inc. ("Fannie May Confections"), a multi-channel retailer and
manufacturer of chocolate and other confections under the well-known Fannie May,
Harry London and Fanny Farmer brands. The acquisition, for approximately $85.0
million in cash (subject to adjustment for working capital), was financed
through term borrowings as further described below, and includes a modern
200,000-square-foot candy manufacturing facility in North Canton, Ohio and 52
Fannie May retail stores in the Chicago area, where the chocolate brand has been
a tradition since 1920. Fannie May Confections Brands, Inc. generated revenues
of approximately $75.0 million in its current fiscal year ending April 30, 2006.
In order to finance the acquisition, on May 1, 2006, the Company entered into a
$135.0 million secured credit facility with JPMorgan Chase, Bank, N.A., as
administrative agent, and a group of lenders (the "2006 Credit Facility"). The
2006 Credit Facility includes an $85.0 million term loan and a $50.0 million
revolving facility, which bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.125%, with
pricing based upon the Company's leverage ratio. At closing, the Company
borrowed $85.0 million of the term facility to acquire all of the outstanding
capital stock of Fannie May Confections. The Company is required to pay the
outstanding term loan in quarterly installments, with the final installment
payment due on May 1, 2012. The 2006 Credit Facility contains various conditions
to borrowing, and affirmative and negative financial covenants. Concurrent with
the 2006 Credit Facility, the Company's previous $25.0 million revolving credit
facilities were terminated. The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries
under the 2006 Credit Facility are secured by liens on all personal property of
the Company and its subsidiaries.

Total net revenues $180,017 $157,033 14.6% $570,611 $484,561 17.8%
============== ================ =============== =============
Net revenues consist primarily of the selling price of the merchandise, service
or outbound shipping charges, less discounts, returns and credits. The Company's
revenue growth of 14.6% and 17.8% during the three and nine months ended April
2, 2006 resulted primarily from growth in sales of floral products of 12.3% and
9.4%, respectively, despite the shift in the Easter holiday which fell in the
third quarter of the prior year, as well as the acquisitions of Cheryl & Co., a
manufacturer and direct marketer of cookies and baked gifts, which was acquired
in fiscal April 2005, and Wind & Weather, a direct marketer of weather-themed
gifts, acquired in fiscal November 2005. Revenue growth excluding the impact of
acquisitions, was 9.7% and 8.6%, during the three and nine months ended April 2,
2006, reflecting: (i) the Company's strong brand name recognition, (ii)
continued leveraging of its existing customer base, and (iii) increased spending
on its marketing and selling programs, designed to improve customer acquisition
and accelerate top-line growth.
12
The Company fulfilled approximately 2,549,000 and 8,432,000 orders through its
combined telephonic and online sales channels during the three and nine months
ended April 2, 2006, an increase of 4.8% and 12.8% respectively, over the prior
year periods. Order volume through the Company's online sales channel, which
contributed 68.1% and 58.7% of total combined telephonic and online revenues
during the three and nine months ended April 2, 2006, compared to 63.6% and
55.8% in the prior year period, increased by 10.2% and 17.1%, respectively, as a
result of additional marketing efforts through search engines and affiliates,
and the continued migration of customers from the Company's telephonic sales
channel. During the three months ended April 2, 2006, revenue generated through
the Company's telephonic sales channel decreased by 1.7%, primarily as a result
of the shift in the Easter holiday which fell in the third quarter of the prior
year, whereas during the nine months ended April 2, 2006, telephonic revenues
increased by 7.7%, driven primarily by the incremental sales of Cheryl & Co.,
which was acquired in fiscal April 2005 and Wind & Weather, which was acquired
in fiscal November 2005. The Company's combined telephonic and online average
order value of $63.51 and $61.80 during the three and nine months ended April 2,
2006, increased 7.2% and 2.7% over the respective prior year periods, primarily
from a combination of product mix, additional delivery surcharges related to the
Valentine's Day holiday and increases in base service/shipping charges, aligning
them with industry norms.
During the three months ended April 2, 2006, non-floral gift products accounted
for 35.1% of total combined telephonic and online net revenues, consistent with
the prior year. During the nine months ended April 2, 206, non-floral gifts
accounted for 53.1% of total telephonic and online net revenue, compared to
50.6% during the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of the
shift in product mix due to the Company's recent acquisitions.
Retail and fulfillment revenues for the three and nine months ended April 2,
2006 increased in comparison to the same period of the prior year, primarily as
a result of the continued membership growth and wholesale floral product and
service offerings to the Company's BloomNet(TM) network, and the retail and
wholesale bakery product revenue of Cheryl & Co.
During the second half of fiscal 2005, the Company implemented plans designed to
extend the Company's leadership position in the floral and thoughtful gift
marketplace, through increased marketing spend intended to drive customer
acquisition, particularly in the floral gift category, and to further extend its
popular gourmet and sweetshop offerings through internal growth and acquisition
of complementary product lines. Over the last several quarters, the Company has
seen the success of these programs, driving increased revenue through both
organic growth, and through the expansion of its Food, Wine and Gift Basket
collections, which now included the recent acquisition of Fannie May Confections
Brands, providing our customers with a broad range of gifting options necessary
to compete in an increasingly fast paced online world. The remainder of the
Company's fiscal year includes the Company's most significant floral gifting
holiday, Mother's Day, during which time, the Company will continue its expanded
level of media presence and depth of its marketing programs, and further expand
its BloomNet business-to-business floral operations. As a result of these
efforts, the Company expects to continue to achieve strong revenue growth for
the balance of the year. While the Company believes that these investments have
impacted the Company's earnings growth over the short term, over the longer
term, the Company believes that this strategy will enable it to achieve
sustainable double digit revenue growth and provide further leverage within its
business model and therefore improved profitability.

Gross margin % 39.0% 37.6% 42.3% 41.5%
Gross profit consists of net revenues less cost of revenues, which is comprised
primarily of florist fulfillment costs (primarily fees paid directly to
florists), the cost of floral and non-floral merchandise sold from inventory or
through third parties, and associated costs including inbound and outbound
shipping charges. Additionally, cost of revenues include labor and facility
costs related to direct-to-consumer merchandise operations. Gross profit
increased during the three and nine months ended April 2, 2006, in comparison to
the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of the additional
revenue, as well as improved gross margin percentage which increased 140 and 80
13
basis points over the respective prior year periods. The improved gross margin
percentage resulted from a combination of: (i) product mix, including the
additions of the Cheryl & Co. and Wind & Weather product lines, which have
higher gross margins and (ii) pricing initiatives related to both delivery
surcharges during the Valentine's Day holiday and increases in base
service/shipping charges. For the foreseeable future, although varying by
quarter due to seasonal changes in product mix, the Company expects that its
gross margin percentage will continue to improve, primarily through the growth
of its higher margin non-floral gifts lines, including the acquisitions of
Cheryl & Co., Wind & Weather, and more recently, Fannie May Confections Brands,
as well as through improved product sourcing, pricing initiatives and customer
service and fulfillment enhancements which are expected to substantially
mitigate continued pressure on shipping costs.

Percentage of net revenues 29.5% 29.2% 31.4% 30.7%
Marketing and sales expense consists primarily of advertising and promotional
expenditures, catalog costs, online portal and search agreements, retail store
and fulfillment operations (other than costs included in cost of revenues) and
customer service center expenses, as well as the operating expenses of the
Company's departments engaged in marketing, selling and merchandising
activities. During the three and nine months ended April 2, 2006, marketing and
sales expenses increased over the prior year, as a result of several factors
including: (i) the Company's efforts to increase new customer acquisition and
accelerate top-line growth through increased marketing efforts both online and
through broadcast advertising, (ii) personnel required to expand the
BloomNet(TM) florist business, (iii) additional expenses associated with the
recent acquisitions, including the Winetasting Network, Cheryl & Co. and Wind &
Weather, which, while contributing to revenue growth and achieving higher gross
product margins, also incur higher marketing expenses, and (iv) the impact of
adopting SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" - refer below to Recent
Accounting Pronouncements for further details. During the three and nine month
periods ended April 2, 2006, the Company added 824,000 and 2,640,000 new
customers, increases of 4.0% and 6.6% over the same periods of the prior year.
As a result of the Company's effective customer retention efforts, 1,116,000 and
2,558,000 existing customers placed orders during the three and nine months
ended April 2, 2006, representing increases of 2.8% and 9.3%, respectively, in
comparison to the same periods of the prior year. Additionally, of the 1,940,000
and 5,198,000 total customers who placed orders during the three and nine months
ended April 2, 2006, approximately 57.5% and 49.2% were repeat customers,
relatively consistent with the prior year periods.
During the remainder of fiscal 2006, the Company expects to maintain its recent
level of marketing and sales spending in order to continue its higher rate of
new customer acquisition, while also leveraging its already significant customer
base through cost effective, customer retention initiatives. Such spending will
continue to be in online search and affiliate relationships, as well as in
direct marketing and broadcast advertising programs. In addition, the Company
plans to continue to add personnel to grow its BloomNet(TM) membership and
support the anticipated growth of its recently acquired businesses, which now
includes Fannie May Confections Brands. As a result, over the short term the
Company expects that marketing and sales expense, as a percentage of revenue,
will remain consistent with the prior year.

Percentage of net revenues 2.9% 2.6% 2.6% 2.2%
Technology and development expense consists primarily of payroll and operating
expenses of the Company's information technology group, costs associated with
its Web sites, including hosting, content development and maintenance and
support costs related to the Company's order entry, customer service,
fulfillment and database systems. During the three and nine months ended April
2, 2006, technology and development expense increased as a result of the
incremental expenses associated with the acquisitions of the Winetasting
Network, Cheryl & Co., and Wind & Weather, as well as for increases in the cost
of maintenance and license agreements required to support the Company's
technology platform, and the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based
Payment" - refer below to Recent Accounting Pronouncements for further details.
During the three and nine months ended April 2, 2006, the Company expended $8.2
million and $26.1 million respectively, on technology and development, of which
$3.0 million and $11.4 million, has been capitalized.
Although over the longer term, the Company believes that it will continue to
demonstrate its ability to leverage its IT platforms, during the remainder of
fiscal 2006, the Company intends to continue to improve the technology
infrastructure of its wine gift business and cookies and baked gifts business,
as well as evaluate the immediate technology needs of the recently acquired
Fannie May brands, and therefore expects that technology and development
spending as a percentage of net revenues will be consistent with, or increase
slightly over the prior year.

Percentage of net revenues 6.2% 6.3% 5.6% 5.2%
General and administrative expense consists of payroll and other expenses in
support of the Company's executive, finance and accounting, legal, human
resources and other administrative functions, as well as professional fees and
other general corporate expenses. General and administrative expense increased
during the three and nine months ended April 2, 2006 in comparison to the prior
year, primarily as a result of: (i) incremental expenses associated with the
Company's acquired businesses, (ii) expenses associated with the Company's
corporate headquarters relocation, which was substantially completed in the
second quarter of fiscal 2006, and (iii) the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R),
"Share-Based Payment" - refer below to Recent Accounting Pronouncements for
further details.
Although the Company believes that its current general and administrative
infrastructure is sufficient to support existing requirements and drive
operating leverage, as a result of the incremental expenses associated with the
acquisitions of Cheryl & Co. and Wind & Weather, and most recently the
acquisition of Fannie May Confections Brands, and the seasonal nature of these
businesses, as well as the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R), this leverage
is partially offset for the remainder of fiscal 2006. As such, the Company
expects that its general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
revenue during the remainder of fiscal 2006 will be consistent with the prior
year.

Percentage of net revenues 2.2% 2.1% 2.0% 2.3%
Depreciation and amortization expense increased during the three months and nine
months ended April 2, 2006 in comparison to their respective prior year periods,
due primarily to the incremental amortization expense related to the intangibles
established as a result of the acquisitions of Cheryl & Co and Wind & Weather.
During the nine months ended April 2, 2006, depreciation and amortization
expense, as a percentage of revenue, decreased over the prior year period,
reflecting the Company's leverage of its existing infrastructure.
The Company believes that continued investment in its infrastructure, primarily
in the areas of technology and development, including the improvement of the
technology platforms of the Company's wine and cookies businesses, and the
recently acquired Fannie May brands, are critical to attaining its strategic
objectives. As a result of these improvements and an increase in amortization
expense associated with the intangibles expected to be established as a result
of the acquisition of Fannie May, the Company expects that depreciation and
amortization for the remainder of fiscal 2006 will increase slightly as a
percentage of net revenues in comparison to prior years.

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 capital leases and other long-term debt,
as well as its revolving line of credit. Other income (expense) during the three
months ended April 2, 2006 was consistent with the prior year period, while
during for the nine months ended April 2, 2006 other income (expense) decreased
primarily as a result of lower interest income, resulting from a decrease in
average cash balances, due to the acquisitions of the Winetasting Network in
November 2004, Cheryl & Co. in fiscal April 2005 and Wind & Weather in fiscal
November 2005, as well as the Company's stock buy-back program, offset in part
by lower interest expense due to maturing debt and capital lease obligations.
Income Taxes
During the three and nine months ended April 2, 2006, the Company recorded an
income tax benefit of $1.1 million and income tax expense of $2.3 million,
respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months
ending April 2, 2006 was 41.4% and 50.9%, respectively, compared to 43.0% and
40.7% during the comparative periods of the prior year. The effective tax rate
during the three and nine months ended April 2, 2006 includes the impact of
stock-based compensation recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), and
resulted in an increase in the annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2006
of approximately 10.2%, resulting primarily from the associated book/tax
differences in accounting for incentive stock options.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At April 2, 2006, the Company had working capital of $32.3 million, including
cash and equivalents of $18.6 million, compared to working capital of $41.7
million, including cash and equivalents and short-term investments of $46.6
million, at July 3, 2005.
Net cash used in operating activities of $1.8 million for the nine months ended
April 2, 2006 was primarily attributable to the Company's seasonal changes in
working capital. As a result of the timing of the Easter Holiday, which fell at
the end of the third quarter of the prior year, inventory and other assets were
higher at the end of the current year period, while payables for florist
fulfilled orders were lower. In addition, inventory increased in order to
16
accommodate increased wholesale floral product sales and due to timing of
inventory purchases related to increased overseas sourcing of products for the
spring selling season.
Net cash used in investing activities of $15.4 million for the nine months ended
April 2, 2006 was primarily attributable to capital expenditures related to the
Company's technology infrastructure as well as the acquisition of Wind & Weather
in fiscal November 2005, offset in part by net proceeds from the sale of the
Company's short-term investments.
Net cash used in financing activities of $4.2 million for the nine months ended
April 2, 2006, resulted primarily from cash used to repurchase 182,000 shares of
the Company's Class A common stock, which were placed in treasury, for
approximately $1.3 million, as well as the repayment of amounts outstanding
under the Company's credit facilities and long-term capital lease obligations,
offset in part by the net proceeds received upon the exercise of employee stock
options.
The Company has historically utilized cash generated from operations to meet its
cash requirements, including all operating, investing and debt repayment
activities. In order to fund working capital requirements during its most recent
Christmas holiday selling season and to support outstanding letters of credit,
as well as temporarily finance the acquisition of Wind & Weather, on October 27,
2005, the Company established a second line of credit in the amount of $20.0
million, bringing its total available credit facilities to $25.0 million. The
credit facilities, which were collateralized by the Company's working capital,
bore interest equal to the applicable LIBOR Index plus 1.50% per annum. At April
2, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding under its credit facilities.
On May 1, 2006, the Company entered into a $135.0 million secured credit
facility with JPMorgan Chase, Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a group
of lenders (the "2006 Credit Facility"). The 2006 Credit Facility includes an
$85.0 million term loan and a $50.0 million revolving facility, which bear
interest at LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.125%, with pricing based upon the Company's
leverage ratio. At closing, the Company borrowed $85.0 million of the term
facility to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Fannie May
Confections. The Company is required to pay the outstanding term loan in
quarterly installments, with the final installment payment due on May 1, 2012.
The 2006 Credit Facility contains various conditions to borrowing, and
affirmative and negative financial covenants. Concurrent with the 2006 Credit
Facility, the Company's previous $25.0 million revolving credit facilities were
terminated. The Company does not expect to draw down on the revolving credit
facility until the end of its fiscal first quarter in order to fund pre-holiday
manufacturing and inventory purchases.
At April 2, 2006, the Company's contractual obligations consist of:

On May 12, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors increased the Company's
authorization to repurchase the Company's Class A common stock up to $20
million, from the previous authorized limit of $10 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 April 2, 2006, the
Company had repurchased 1.5 million shares of common stock for $11.1 million, of
which 182,000 shares of common stock for $1.3 million was repurchased during the
nine months ending April 2, 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial statements and results of
operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements of
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues 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, affects the Company's more significant judgments and estimates
used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Net revenues are generated by online, telephonic and retail fulfillment
operations 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.
Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the
financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in
an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be
required.
Inventory
The Company states inventory at the lower of cost or market and includes
purchased and manufactured finished goods for resale, packaging supplies, raw
material ingredients for manufactured products and associated manufacturing
labor. 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 periodically evaluates acquired businesses for potential impairment
indicators. 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 are
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
With the implementation of SFAS No. 123(R) effective July 4, 2005, stock-based
compensation changes our financial statements as detailed in Note 3 to the
financial statements. Determining the amount and distribution of expense for
stock-based compensation, as well as the associated impact to the balance sheet
and statement of cash flows, requires the Company to develop estimates of the
fair value of stock-based compensation expenses. The most significant factors of
that expense require estimates or projections including the expected volatility,
expected lives and estimate forfeiture rates of employee stock options, and are
determined based on historical measurements and expected outcomes, and the
Company's interpretation of regulatory guidance.
18
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 the Company will be able to
generate sufficient taxable income so that these assets will be realized. The
factors that the Company considers 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." This Statement revised SFAS No. 123 by
eliminating the option to account for employee stock options under APB No. 25
and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in
exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of
those awards (the "fair-value-based" method).
Effective July 4, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective application method.
Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the three and six
months ended January 1, 2006, includes amounts of: (a) compensation cost of all
stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, July 4, 2005
(based on grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original
provisions of SFAS No. 123, and previously presented in the pro-forma footnote
disclosures), and (b) compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted
subsequent to July 3, 2005 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in
accordance with the new provision of SFAS No. 123(R)). In accordance with the
modified prospective method, results for prior periods have not been restated.
Prior to the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), benefits of tax deduction in
excess of recognized compensation costs were reported as operating cash flows.
SFAS No. 123(R) requires excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash
inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid. There were no significant
excess tax benefits for the nine-month period ended April 2, 2006.
19
The following table summarizes the effect of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) as of
July 4, 2005:

ended April 2, 2006, respectively).
Compensation expense related to the amortization of restricted stock awards was
recognized prior to the implementation of SFAS No. 123(R). Total stock based
compensation expense, which includes both expense from stock options and
restricted stock awards, totaled $1.1 million and $3.1 million ($0.7 million and
$2.3 million, net of tax) during the three and nine months ended April 2, 2006,
respectively.

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, 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 solid, sustainable revenue growth;
o to maintain and enhance its online shopping web sites to attract
customers;
o to successfully introduce new products and product categories;
20
o to successfully integrate acquisitions, including the acquisition of
Fannie May Confections Brands, Inc.;
o to cost effectively acquire and retain customers;
o to compete against existing and new competitors;
o to manage expenses associated with necessary general and
administrative and technology investments;
o to cost efficiently manage inventories; and
o to grow its revenues and leverage its operating infrastructure to
enhance profitability;
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.
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 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 July
3, 2005 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 1, of that filing under the heading "Risk
Factors that May Affect Future Results". 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. While the Company currently does not use interest rate
derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes, in order to
finance the acquisition of Fannie May Confections, on May 1, 2006, the Company
entered into a $135.0 million secured credit facility. The credit facility
includes an $85.0 million term loan and a $50.0 million revolving facility,
which bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.125%, with pricing based upon the
Company's leverage ratio.
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 nine
months ended April 2, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
