NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1-BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 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 nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition included in Tandy Corporation's ("Tandy" or the "Company") Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. NOTE 2-UNREALIZED LOSS ON AST SECURITIES On July 12, 1996, the Company received $60,000,000 in cash and $30,000,000 in AST Research Inc. ("AST") common stock as final payment of a $90,000,000 note payable from AST to the Company. The 4,498,594 shares of AST common stock Tandy owns represent approximately 7.8% of the outstanding common stock of AST. This common stock was issued to Tandy as partial payment of AST's obligation under a promissory note dated July 12, 1993. This note was payable to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets dated June 30, 1993. The AST common stock is available for sale and, therefore, is subject to mark to market adjustments for each reporting period based upon its current market value. Based on the common stock price of $5.00 at September 30, 1996, the market value of AST common stock approximated $22,500,000. Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $4,880,000, net of taxes as a decrease in stockholders' equity, at September 30, 1996. As of November 5, 1996, the current market price of AST common stock was $4.625 per share. Depending on a variety of factors, including market conditions and prices, the Company might dispose of some or all of its shares of AST common stock. The disposition of the shares of common stock may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions. In connection with its ownership of the common stock, the Company may from time to time, at its sole discretion, engage in hedging transactions with broker/dealers or other financial institutions. A charge will be recognized against income upon a subsequent sale if the market price is below the original cost basis or if the Company determines that a decline in the market value of AST common stock is other than temporary. NOTE 3-RESTRUCTURING CHARGES On May 21, 1996, the Company announced a restructuring plan for its Incredible Universe division which included an overhead reduction plan, the closing of two stores and costs for the abandonment of certain real estate sites held for new store development. A streamlining of the division's overhead costs included the elimination of approximately 20 non-selling positions per store, reorganization of some central unit functions, and a significant change in advertising strategy. The two stores located in Potomac Mills, Virginia and Charlotte, North Carolina were closed in the second quarter of 1996 due to inadequate sales volumes. The Company incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately $25,500,000 which relates primarily to future lease obligations, disposition of fixed assets, certain termination costs associated with employees as well as inventory markdowns associated with liquidation sales. The components of this restructuring charge and an analysis of the amounts charged against the reserve are outlined in the following table:
<TABLE> <CAPTION> Charges Original Through Balance (In thousands) Reserve 9/30/96 9/30/96 - -------------- ------------ ---------- ----------- <S> <C> <C> <C> Real estate obligations $ 10,750 $ (1,822) $ 8,928 Disposal of fixed assets 8,000 (4,691) 3,309 Inventory impairment 2,574 (2,574) - Termination benefits 2,500 (2,500) - Other 1,676 (1,676) - ------------ ---------- ---------- Total $ 25,500 $ (13,263) $ 12,237 ============ ========== ========== </TABLE> The Company will continue to monitor the operating results of this division and will take appropriate action if the division's results of operations do not materially improve. These actions may include a further restructuring including store closures, further streamlining of personnel, alliances with non-related retailers to increase traffic in the stores and further changes in advertising strategies and employee compensation. There can be no assurance that the actions taken to date will be successful. In the normal course of business, management reviews the performance of all stores to identify underachievers and determines whether possible closure thereof is appropriate. Any material number of store closures or relocations would be accompanied by charges related to such activity. NOTE 4-IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("FAS 121"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted FAS 121 which requires that long-lived assets (primarily property, plant and equipment and goodwill) held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and before interest) from the use of the asset is less than the net book value of the asset. The amount of the impairment loss will be measured as the difference between the net book value of the assets and the estimated fair value of the related assets. Upon adoption in the first quarter of 1996, the Company recorded an initial pre-tax impairment loss of approximately $26,033,000 to conform with this statement, primarily as a result of grouping assets at their lowest level of cash flows to determine impairment as required by this statement. This charge provided for the writedown of certain intangibles, adjustment to market valuation of foreign real estate and the revaluation of selected retail fixed assets. Whenever events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company will review long-lived assets for impairment pursuant to FAS 121. NOTE 5-RELATIONS WITH INTERTAN As of September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects notes and other receivables due from InterTAN, Inc. ("InterTAN") as summarized below: Balance at September 30, ------------------------ (In thousands) 1996 1995 - -------------- ------------ ------------- Gross amount of notes $ 27,831 $ 44,903 Discount 9,249 13,195 ------------ ------------- Net amount of notes $ 18,582 $ 31,708 ============ ============= Current portion of notes $ 4,646 $ 14,432 Non-current portion of notes 13,936 17,276 Other current receivables 5,212 2,966 ------------ ------------- $ 23,794 $ 34,674 ============ ============= The notes were purchased at a discount from InterTAN's banking syndicate by Trans World Electronics, Inc. ("Trans World"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tandy. InterTAN is contractually obligated to pay the gross amount of the notes to Trans World.
The following income components were generated from operations relative to InterTAN: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, --------------------------- -------------------------- (In thousands) 1996 1995 1996 1995 - -------------- ----------- ------------ ---------- ------------ <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Sales and commission income $ 2,811 $ 3,751 $ 6,418 $ 8,216 =========== ============ ========== ============ Interest income $ 613 $ 1,083 $ 2,310 $ 3,111 Accretion of discount 949 996 2,912 3,147 ----------- ------------ ---------- ------------ $ 1,562 $ 2,079 5,222 6,258 =========== ============ ========== ============ Royalty income $ 518 $ 250 $ 1,052 $ 250 =========== ============ ========== ============ </TABLE> Through October 1996, InterTAN has met all of its financial obligations to Tandy. Accordingly, management believes that InterTAN should be able to continue to meet its payment obligations pursuant to its debt agreements with Trans World. See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 for further information. Canadian tax authorities are reviewing InterTAN's Canadian subsidiary's 1987-93 tax returns. The Company cannot determine whether the ultimate resolution of that review will have an effect on InterTAN's ability to meet its obligations to Tandy, but at present, nothing has come to the attention of the Company which would lead them to believe that the ultimate resolution of this review would impair InterTAN's ability to meet its obligations to Tandy. NOTE 6-SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM On October 21, 1996, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the purchase of an additional 5,000,000 common shares through the Company's existing share repurchase program which was initially authorized in December 1995. This share increase brings the total authorization to 10,000,000 shares of which approximately 2.9 million shares have been repurchased during the first nine months of 1996. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, approximately 1.1 million shares were repurchased under the December 1995 board authorization. Purchases will be made from time to time in the open market, and it is expected that funding of the program will come from operating cash flow and existing borrowing facilities. NOTE 7-CONTINGENCY Tandy has various claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties, investigations and pending actions involving allegations of negligence, product defects, discrimination, infringement of intellectual property rights, securities matters, tax deficiencies, violations of permits or licenses, breach of contract and other matters against the Company and its subsidiaries incident to the operations of its business. The liability, if any, associated with these matters was not determinable at September 30, 1996. While certain of these matters involve substantial amounts, and although occasional adverse settlements or resolutions may occur and negatively impact earnings in the year of settlement, it is the opinion of management that their ultimate resolution will not have a materially adverse effect on Tandy's financial position. NOTE 8-HEDGING AND DERIVATIVE ACTIVITY The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate exposure by effectively trading floating interest rates for fixed interest rates. As the Company has used the swaps to hedge certain obligations with floating rates, the difference between the floating and fixed interest rate amounts, based on these swap agreements, is recorded as income or expense. Through September 30, 1996, the Company has entered into five swaps with regard to notional amounts totaling $90,000,000. The swap agreements all expire during the third quarter of 1999. Prior to 1995 the Company was not a party to any interest rate swaps. The Board of Directors has authorized management to enter into interest rate swaps up to notional amounts not exceeding $250,000,000. At September 30, 1996, the Company would have to pay approximately $3,471,000 to terminate the interest rate swaps in place. This amount was obtained from the counterparties and represents the fair value of the swap agreements; the amount is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has no intention of terminating the interest rate swap agreements at this time. At September 30, 1996, the weighted average interest rate of the floating rate obligations being hedged was 6.2%, and the weighted average interest rate of the fixed rate obligations imposed by the swap agreements was 7.7%. The interest rate swap agreements have been entered into with major financial institutions which are expected to fully perform under the terms of the swap agreements. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Factors That May Affect Future Results The Company participates in a highly competitive industry that is characterized by aggressive pricing practices in an attempt to gain market share. In developing strategies to achieve continued increases in sales and operating profits, the Company anticipates customer demand in managing its product transitions, inventory levels, and distribution cycles. Due to rapid technological advances affecting consumer electronic product cycles, the Company's operating results could be adversely affected should the Company be unable to anticipate product cycle and/or customer demand accurately. The Company's ability to achieve targeted sales and earnings levels depends upon a number of competitive and market factors and, accordingly, are subject to risk. The regulatory and trade environment in which the Company operates is subject to risk and uncertainty. Unfavorable tariffs affecting electronic products imported from Asia as a result of a change in U.S. trade agreements or trade imbalances could affect the Company. In addition, as a result of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the deregulated telecommunications market in the future is expected to present both opportunities and increased competition to the telecommunication industry's historical role of providing telecommunication equipment and service to consumers. Also see "Net Sales and Operating Revenues" for a discussion of a recent RadioShack telecommunications alliance. With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed herein contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are indicated by words such as "anticipates", "expects", "believes", "plans", "could" and similar words or phrases. These uncertainties include, but are no limited to, economic conditions including consumer installment debt levels and interest rate fluctuations, shifts in consumer electronic product cycles, consumer demand for products and services, competitive products and pricing, availability of products, inventory risks due to shifts in market demand, the regulatory and trade environment and other risks indicated in filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Net Sales and Operating Revenues Net sales and operating revenues for the periods ended September 30 were: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, % Increase September 30, % Increase ------------------------- ------------------------- (In thousands) 1996 1995 (Decrease) 1996 1995 (Decrease) - -------------- ----------- ----------- ------------ ------------- ----------- ---------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Radio Shack $ 733,041 $ 724,090 1.2% $ 2,123,742 $ 2,068,044 2.7 Incredible Universe 198,372 163,931 21.0 612,765 430,014 42.5 Computer City 482,291 430,475 12.0 1,441,986 1,161,116 24.2 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- 1,413,704 1,318,496 7.2 4,178,493 3,659,174 14.2 Tandy Name Brand (closed) - (136) NM - 27,995 NM Other sales 21,194 21,570 (1.7) 56,197 64,430 (12.8) ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- $ 1,434,898 $ 1,339,930 7.1% $ 4,234,690 $ 3,751,599 12.9% =========== =========== =========== =========== NM - not meaningful </TABLE> Continuing retail operations generated 7.2% and 14.2% sales gains for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996. Tandy Corporation's overall comparable store sales for U.S. and Canadian operations decreased 4.5% for the quarter and 1.0% for the nine-month period. Radio Shack comparable store sales for the three and nine-month periods resulted in a decrease of 0.7% and an increase of 0.9%, respectively. Although computer and digital satellite system sales were strong during the quarter, their levels, as well as cellular phone sales levels, did not reach sales potential due to product availability. In addition, audio and video third quarter sales were down in line with industry trends. Advertising will be heightened to emphasize the new line of IBM Aptiva(R) computers, cellular phones and satellite systems in the ensuing quarter. On September 10, 1996, the Company, through the RadioShack division, entered into a telecommunications alliance with Sprint Communications Company, L.P., Sprint United Management Company ("Sprint"), and Sprint Spectrum L.P. ("Spectrum"). This alliance will allow consumers to purchase a full range of Sprint-branded telecommunication services and products through participating RadioShack retail stores. Under the agreement, Sprint, Spectrum and RadioShack will create and advertise a "store-within-a-store" concept. Customers will have access, where available, to a full service communications information center that will offer Spectrum personal communications services ("PCS"), Sprint long distance, local and wireless phone service, Internet access and paging, as well as Spree pre-paid phone cards and phone equipment. RadioShack will also be the exclusive retailer of Sprint-branded "residential" telephones. Sprint-branded PCS products and services are expected to be available in about 300 RadioShack stores in approximately 15 cities by the end of 1996, with the full line of Sprint products and services expected to be available in 4,500 additional stores by October 1997. U.S. and Canadian Computer City comparable retail store sales decreased by 11.2% and 3.2% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996. Comparable store sales for the third quarter of this year were impacted by the highly publicized Windows(R) 95 introduction in the third quarter of 1995. Current quarter demand for peripherals, software, and accessories was unable to match levels attained during the corresponding Windows(R) 95 dominated quarter last year. In addition, sales of non-IBM compatible computers and related items were significantly lower in the current year when compared to the prior year. Corporate and institutional sales initiatives will continue in the fourth quarter supported by an Electronic Data Systems (EDS(R)) alliance system integration, which management anticipates will improve the ability to place and track corporate orders on a more timely basis. Aggressive marketing campaigns and vendor supported in-store demonstrations will focus on building fourth quarter retail sales. Also see "Change in Operating Management" below for a discussion of the resignation of the president of Computer City. Same-store sales results for the quarter and nine months at Incredible Universe decreased 3.2% and 4.5%, respectively. Televisions, computers, and appliances were among the strongest sales categories during the third quarter. Disappointing industry-wide audio and video sales during the quarter contributed to the same store sales decreases. Expansion of computer product lines, peripherals and emphasis on the newly introduced "It's Worth the Drive. Guaranteed" SM marketing campaign are designed to encourage sales during the fourth quarter. Also see "Restructuring Charges" below for a further discussion of material changes being implemented at Incredible Universe to improve its results of operations. In the normal course of business, management reviews the performance of all stores to identify underachievers and determines whether possible closure thereof is appropriate. Any material number of store closures or relocations would be accompanied by charges related to such activity. <TABLE> RETAIL OUTLETS - -------------- <CAPTION> September 30, June 30, March 31, December 31, September 30, 1996 1996 1996 1995 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> RadioShack Company owned 4,901 4,869 4,840 4,831 4,787 Dealer/Franchise 1,945 1,950 1,954 2,005 2,017 Computer City 109 103 101 99 86 Incredible Universe 17 16 18 17 14 --------- --------- ---------- ---------- ----------- Total Number of Outlets 6,972 6,938 6,913 6,952 6,904 ========= ========= ========== ========== =========== It is anticipated that during calendar 1996 RadioShack will open, net of closings, approximately 110 company-owned stores. Computer City plans to open 14 stores in 1996. Expansion of Computer City stores within Incredible Universe is not anticipated. Incredible Universe closed two stores in May 1996 and opened two new stores in 1996, resulting in no net increase in the number of stores for 1996. Projections for 1997 include approximately 75 new RadioShack stores, 5-10 new Computer City stores, and no new Incredible Universe stores. </TABLE> Gross Profit Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 33.7% during the three months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to 35.7% during the corresponding 1995 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the gross profit percentages were 34.2% and 36.5%, respectively. This trend toward lower gross margins is expected to continue as the lower operating margin divisions, Computer City and Incredible Universe, continue to grow in proportion to total sales. In the third quarter of 1996, Computer City and Incredible Universe accounted for approximately 47.4% of consolidated sales, compared to 44.4% in the third quarter of 1995. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, Computer City and Incredible Universe accounted for approximately 48.5% and 42.4% of consolidated sales, respectively. RadioShack's gross margin decreased 0.5% for the quarter and generated a minimal increase of 0.1% for the nine-month period ending September 30, 1996, in comparison with the respective prior year periods. The quarterly decline was due to the well received IBM Aptiva computer back-to-school promotion and to the DSS direct-to-home satellite dish business, both of which carry lower margins than RadioShack core categories. Computer City's gross margin declined 0.6 and gained 0.3 percentage points as compared to the third quarter and nine-month period of 1995, respectively. The quarterly decline is attributable to the industry's competitive environment and reduced margins on discontinued products. Gross margin at Incredible Universe increased 0.1 and decreased 0.9 percentage points in the third quarter and nine-month period, respectively. Due to an increase in the relative percentage of lower margin computer sales, gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 has declined. In order to maintain or increase its market share, the Company must continue to price its products competitively and from time to time may use various incentive programs to increase sales. Some of these strategies lower the average sales price per unit and may cause declines in gross margin beyond the historical and/or anticipated levels. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percent of sales and operating revenues increased 0.4 percentage points in comparison with the third quarter of 1995 and declined 0.8 percentage points in comparison with the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in SG&A as a percent of sales during the third quarter of 1996 is due primarily to the quarter's softer sales volumes. The Company previously implemented cost reduction programs to adjust its operating expenses to lower levels. Major expense categories, including advertising and payroll, while showing a net dollar gain, were lower as a percent of sales for the first nine months in 1996 as compared with the same prior year period. As a result of Computer City and Incredible Universe expansion into new markets and increased promotional activity in RadioShack, consolidated advertising costs increased $15,962,000, or 10.7%, during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Payroll expenses increased $53,295,000, or 11.0%, during the nine-month period in 1996, in comparison with the prior year period, because of the Company's retail store expansions. As a result of the Company selling the private label credit card portfolios at the end of the first quarter in 1995, bad debt expense decreased significantly in the first nine months of 1996 as compared to that of the prior year. The Company expects SG&A expenses as a percent of sales to continue to have a marginal decline as Computer City and Incredible Universe, which operate at lower relative costs than consolidated Tandy Corporation, continue to grow in proportion to total sales. Restructuring Charges On May 21, 1996, the Company announced a restructuring plan for its Incredible Universe division which included an overhead reduction plan, the closing of two stores and costs for the abandonment of certain real estate sites held for new store development. A streamlining of the division's overhead costs included the elimination of approximately 20 non-selling positions per store, reorganization of some central unit functions, and a significant change in advertising strategy. The two stores located in Potomac Mills, Virginia and Charlotte, North Carolina were closed in the second quarter of 1996 due to inadequate sales volumes. The Company incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately $25,500,000 which relates primarily to future lease obligations, disposition of fixed assets, certain termination costs associated with employees as well as inventory markdowns associated with liquidation sales. The components of this restructuring charge and an analysis of the amounts charged against the reserve are outlined in the following table: Charges Original Through Balance (In thousands) Reserve 9/30/96 9/30/96 - -------------- ------------ ---------- ---------- Real estate obligations $ 10,750 $ (1,822) $ 8,928 Disposal of fixed assets 8,000 (4,691) 3,309 Inventory impairment 2,574 (2,574) - Termination benefits 2,500 (2,500) - Other 1,676 (1,676) - ------------ ---------- ---------- Total $ 25,500 $ (13,263) $ 12,237 ============ ========== ========== The Company will continue to monitor the operating results of this division and will take appropriate action if the division's results of operations do not materially improve. These actions may include a further restructuring including store closures, further streamlining of personnel, alliances with non-related retailers to increase traffic in the stores and further changes in advertising strategies and employee compensation. There can be no assurance that the actions taken to date will be successful. In the normal course of business, management reviews the performance of all stores to identify underachievers and determines whether possible closure thereof is appropriate. Any material number of store closures or relocations would be accompanied by charges related to such activity.
Impairment of Assets In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("FAS 121"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted FAS 121 which requires that long-lived assets (primarily property, plant and equipment and goodwill) held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and before interest) from the use of the asset is less than the net book value of the asset. The amount of the impairment loss will be measured as the difference between the net book value of the assets and the estimated fair value of the related assets. Upon adoption in the first quarter of 1996, the Company recorded an initial pre-tax impairment loss of approximately $26,033,000 to conform with this statement, primarily as a result of grouping assets at their lowest level of cash flows to determine impairment as required by this statement. This charge provided for the writedown of certain intangibles, adjustment to market valuation of foreign real estate and the revaluation of selected retail fixed assets. Whenever events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company will review long-lived assets for impairment pursuant to FAS 121. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation In October 1995, the FASB issued FAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted FAS 123 which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. The pronouncement defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting for all of their employee stock option compensation plans. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Entities electing to remain with the accounting in APB 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in FAS 123 had been applied. The Company will continue to account for stock-based employee compensation plans under the intrinsic method pursuant to APB 25 and will make the disclosures in its footnotes as required by FAS 123. Stock options issued for stock-based employee compensation plans in the third quarter of 1996 were not material. Net Interest Income Interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 decreased $3,294,000 from $5,872,000 in the third quarter of 1996. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased $27,653,000 from $37,704,000 in the comparable prior year period. These decreases are primarily due to the sale of the Company's credit card portfolios in the first quarter of 1995 and increased utilization of cash for the ongoing share repurchase program and capital expenditures related to new stores. Interest expense increased $2,194,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, in comparison with the same prior year period because of increased average short-term borrowing levels. Provision for Income Taxes Provision for income taxes for each quarterly period is based on the estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year as evaluated at the end of each quarter. The effective tax rates for the third quarters of 1996 and 1995 were 37.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The decrease is due primarily to the favorable resolution of a foreign tax issue. Earnings Per Share Net income per average common and common equivalent share is computed by dividing net income less the Series B convertible stock dividends by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. During 1995, the Preferred Equity Redemption Convertible Stock(R) ("PERCS(R)") mandatorily converted into common stock. As a result, they were considered outstanding common stock and the dividends were not deducted from net income for purposes of calculating net income per average common and common equivalent share. The prior year-to-date weighted average share calculations included approximately 11,816,000 common shares relating to the conversion of the PERCS into common stock on March 10, 1995. Fully diluted earnings available per common and common equivalent share are not presented since dilution is less than 3%. Cash Flow and Financial Condition Cash flow from operating activities decreased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996, as compared with the same period of the prior year. This decrease primarily related to the sale of the credit card portfolios in 1995 which was partially offset by a net decrease in the amount of cash utilized through September 30, 1996, as compared to September 30, 1995 for working capital purposes. Cash used by investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 includes property, plant and equipment additions for new and remodeled RadioShack(SM) stores and the Company's expansion of its Computer City(R) and Incredible Universe(R) store formats, as well as expenditures for upgrading information systems and headquarter building renovations. Management anticipates that capital expenditure requirements will approximate $25,000,000 to $40,000,000 for the remainder of 1996, primarily to support retail expansion and additional information systems upgrades. On July 12, 1996, the Company received $60,000,000 in cash and $30,000,000 in AST Research Inc. ("AST") common stock as final payment of a $90,000,000 note payable from AST to the Company. The 4,498,594 shares of AST common stock Tandy owns represent approximately 7.8% of the outstanding common stock of AST. This common stock was issued to Tandy as partial payment of AST's obligation under a promissory note dated July 12, 1993. This note was payable to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets dated June 30, 1993. The AST common stock is available for sale and, therefore, is subject to mark to market adjustments for each reporting period based upon its current market value. Based on the common stock price of $5.00 at September 30, 1996, the market value of AST common stock approximated $22,500,000. Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $4,880,000, net of taxes as a decrease in stockholders' equity, at September 30, 1996. As of November 5, 1996, the current market price of AST common stock was $4.625 per share. Depending on a variety of factors, including market conditions and prices, the Company might dispose of some or all of its shares of AST common stock. The disposition of the shares of common stock may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions. In connection with its ownership of the common stock, the Company may from time to time, at its sole discretion, engage in hedging transactions with broker/dealers or other financial institutions. A charge will be recognized against income upon a subsequent sale if the market price is below the original cost basis or if the Company determines that a decline in the market value of AST common stock is other than temporary. Cash used for financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 includes continued repurchases of common stock under the December 1995 share repurchase program and repayments of long-term debt obligations primarily consisting of $12,700,000 of medium term notes and $5,497,000 of TESOP debt. Repayments of long-term borrowings through September 30, 1995 included the $45,000,000 of 8.69% senior notes and medium-term notes totaling $6,000,000. Short-term borrowings during the first nine months of fiscal year 1996 exceeded levels obtained in the same period last year primarily due to the excess cash received in fiscal year 1995 upon the sale of the credit card portfolio. The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, cash on hand and availability under its existing debt facilities are adequate to fund the planned expansion of its store formats and share repurchase program. In addition, most of the Company's new store expenditures are being funded through operating and capital leases. Cash and short-term investments at September 30, 1996 were $124,956,000 as compared to $143,498,000 at December 31, 1995, and $102,534,000 at September 30, 1995. Total debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 27.1% at September 30, 1996, compared to 17.1% at December 31, 1995, and 23.2% at September 30, 1995. The increase in the total debt ratios results primarily from the Company's share repurchase program described below and inventory additions in preparation for the upcoming Christmas selling season. On October 21, 1996, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the purchase of an additional 5,000,000 shares through the Company's existing share repurchase program which was initially authorized in December 1995. The share increase brings the total authorization to 10,000,000 shares of which approximately 2.9 million shares have been repurchased during the first nine months of 1996. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, approximately 1.1 million shares were repurchased under the December 1995 board authorization. Purchases will be made from time to time in the open market, and it is expected that funding of the program will come from operating cash flow and existing borrowing facilities.
Inventory Compared to September 30, 1995, total inventories at September 30, 1996 have decreased $92,274,000 or 5.2%. The decrease in total inventory levels is comprised of an overall reduction in RadioShack inventory as a result of an inventory reduction program, which was partially offset by increases in Computer City and Incredible Universe new store inventory additions. Inventory levels have increased 10.5% from amounts at December 31, 1995, primarily due to seasonal fluctuations and additional store openings. Inventory is primarily comprised of finished goods. <TABLE> Changes in Stockholders' Equity <CAPTION> Outstanding (In thousands) Common Shares Dollars - -------------- ---------------- ------------- <S> <C> <C> Balance at December 31, 1995 61,727 $ 1,601,335 Foreign currency translation adjustments, net of deferred taxes - (2,154) Sale of treasury stock to employee plans 698 30,468 Purchase of treasury stock (3,740) (164,344) Exercise of stock options 214 8,185 Director stock payments 2 108 Restricted stock awards 27 1,099 Repurchase of preferred stock - (2,990) Preferred stock dividends, net of tax - (3,104) TESOP deferred compensation earned - 5,989 Unrealized loss on AST stock, net of tax - (4,880) Common stock dividends - (35,947) Net income - 46,101 ---------- ------------- Balance at September 30, 1996 58,928 $ 1,479,866 ========== ============= </TABLE> InterTAN Update As of September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects notes and other receivables due from InterTAN, Inc.

Accordingly, management believes that InterTAN should be able to continue to meet its payment obligations pursuant to its debt agreements with Trans World. See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, for further information. Canadian tax authorities are reviewing InterTAN's Canadian subsidiary's 1987-93 tax returns. The Company cannot determine whether the ultimate resolution of that review will have an effect on InterTAN's ability to meet its obligations to Tandy, but at present, nothing has come to the attention of the Company which would lead it to believe that the ultimate resolution of this review would impair InterTAN's ability to meet its obligations to Tandy. Change in Operating Management The Company reported on October 28, 1996, that Matt Howard resigned as President of Computer City for personal and family reasons. John V. Roach, Chairman and CEO of Tandy Corporation, will serve as acting President of Computer City.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Tandy has various claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties, investigations and pending actions involving allegations of negligence, product defects, discrimination, infringement of intellectual property rights, securities matters, tax deficiencies, violations of permits or licenses, and breach of contract and other matters against the Company and its subsidiaries incident to the operation of its business. The liability, if any, associated with these matters was not determinable at September 30, 1996. While certain of these matters involve substantial amounts, and although occasional adverse settlements or resolutions might occur and negatively impact earnings in the year of settlement, it is the opinion of management that their ultimate resolution will not have a materially adverse effect on Tandy's financial position.
