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, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. 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, 1996. NOTE 2-STOCK SPLIT On August 21, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a two-for-one split of Tandy common stock for stockholders of record at the close of business on August 29, 1997, payable on September 22, 1997. This resulted in the issuance of 52.7 million shares of common stock along with a corresponding decrease of $52.7 million in additional paid-in capital. Treasury shares were not split; however, an adjustment was made to the Company's stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet to split the cost of treasury stock (in effect a cancellation of treasury shares). All references to the number of shares of common stock issued or outstanding, per share prices, and income per common and common equivalent share amounts in the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and management's discussion and analysis have been adjusted to reflect the split on a retroactive basis. Previously awarded stock options, restricted stock awards, and all other agreements payable in the Company's common stock have been adjusted or amended to reflect the split. Additionally, cash dividends which were $0.20 per share per quarter prior to the two-for-one split have been adjusted to $0.10 per share per quarter to reflect the two-for-one split. NOTE 3-EARNINGS PER SHARE In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128"), which is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods. Effective December 31, 1997, the Company will adopt FAS 128, which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS"). The statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes the effect of potentially dilutive securities while diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would have occurred if securities or other contracts to issue common stock had been exercised, converted, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have then shared in the earnings of the entity. The pro-forma EPS amounts shown below have been calculated assuming the Company had already adopted the provisions of this statement: Three Months Ended Sept. 30, Nine Months Ended Sept. 30, ---------------------------- --------------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- -------- Basic EPS $ 0.33 $ 0.17 $ 0.79 $ 0.34 ======== ======== ======== ======== Diluted EPS $ 0.32 $ 0.17 $ 0.77 $ 0.34 ======== ======== ======== ======== NOTE 4-NEW COMPUTER CITY STRATEGY On June 26, 1997, the Company organized a new subsidiary, Computer City, Inc. ("CCI"), and thereafter conveyed to it certain related assets and liabilities of the Company's Computer City division. On July 17, 1997, Eureka Venture Partners III LLP, a Texas limited liability partnership ("Eureka"), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Company to acquire 19.9% of the outstanding common stock of CCI for a total purchase price of $24.9 million, payable in cash (1% of the purchase price) and a note (99% of the purchase price) issued by Eureka. The note is secured only by the common shares of CCI held by Eureka and accordingly a minority interest will not be recognized in the Company's financial statements. The note bears interest at 8% per annum and is payable on or before July 17, 2002. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Eureka and its principals provided a new senior management team for CCI. This new management team consists of Nathan Morton, CCI Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman, Avery More, CCI Vice Chairman, and Robert Boutin, CCI Chief Financial Officer, all of whom are principals of Eureka. John V. Roach, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, serves as the other Co-Chairman of CCI and as its President. Eureka also acquired a warrant to purchase an additional 20.1% of the outstanding common stock of CCI for $31.4 million payable in cash (at least 10% of the purchase price) and a note (not more than 90% of the purchase price) issued by Eureka. This warrant is exercisable upon either the attainment of certain financial performance goals by CCI or upon the date CCI is established as an independent entity. In connection with the creation of CCI, the Company assigned to CCI, and CCI assumed the Company's obligations under, a $125.0 million subordinated note payable to Trans World Electronics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tandy. This subordinated note represents certain liabilities of the Company allocable to its Computer City division that were assumed by CCI. Also on July 17, 1997, the Company provided to CCI a $150.0 million line of credit expiring on December 31, 1997. Any amounts borrowed under such line of credit are secured by CCI's inventories and accounts receivable. At the current time, any borrowings and related interest charges on the line of credit between CCI and the Company are treated as intercompany and eliminated in consolidation. CCI anticipates replacing the $150.0 million line of credit prior to December 31, 1997 with a third party lender. The Company and Eureka are actively exploring opportunities that could, over a period of time, result in establishing CCI as an independent entity in the future in one or more transactions. There can be no assurance, however, that any such transaction or transactions will occur. If certain financial performance goals are met by CCI and a sale or spin-off of CCI is proposed by Eureka but is not approved by the CCI Board of Directors, then Eureka has the option to require the Company to repurchase all shares owned by Eureka and the exercisable but unexercised portion of the warrant for certain amounts, as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. In addition, prior to CCI being established as an independent entity, the Company has the right to reacquire all of the shares of CCI owned by Eureka and the exercisable but unexercised portion of the warrant upon payment of certain amounts, to be determined by defined formulas pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. NOTE 5-RESTRUCTURING RESERVES In December 1996, the Company initiated certain restructuring programs and announced its plan to exit the Incredible Universe and McDuff businesses and the closure of 21 Computer City(R) stores. The respective McDuff and Computer City stores have been closed. At December 31, 1996, there were 17 open Incredible Universe locations and two that had been previously closed. As of September 30, 1997, all of the Incredible Universe stores had been closed and the Company had concluded the sale of 13 Incredible Universe stores. This included the sale of the real estate at six stores and related fixed assets and inventory to Fry's Electronics, Inc. and its affiliates during the period March 1997 through July 1997 for approximately $21.5 million in cash and $97.6 million in notes receivable. The sales of the other seven Incredible Universe locations were completed during July and August 1997 for $81.2 million in cash, notes receivable and marketable securities, the securities having been subsequently sold for cash. An agreement for the sale of the real estate and improvements of an additional Incredible Universe location was executed in October 1997. The Company anticipates having a signed letter of intent for the remaining five locations by year-end; however, there can be no assurance that such letter will be signed or that the anticipated sales will occur. In arriving at the charges related to the restructuring plan, management was required to make certain estimates, including, but not limited to, estimates about expected proceeds from inventory sales in closed units, real estate valuations, timing of closed store dispositions, and an assumption that third parties would complete the purchase of certain Incredible Universe locations pursuant to the purchase and sale agreements. Management made these estimates based on the best information available at the time and believes that these estimates were accurate at the time they were made. However, unexpected delays in the closing of these sales, among other factors, could result in the charges and reserves previously estimated to be inadequate, and future charges may be required. To date, the Company has not materially revised its estimated reserves.
Sales and operating revenues and operating losses of all stores closed pursuant to the restructuring plans are shown below for the three and nine months ended September 30: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Sept. 30, Sept. 30, -------------------- ---------------------- (In millions) 1997 1996 1997 1996 - ---------------------------- ------- --------- --------- --------- Sales and operating revenues $ 4.7 $ 318.7 $ 163.6 $ 975.6 Operating loss $ (4.3) $ (23.7) $ (29.8) $ (77.3) Pre-tax restructuring and other charges for 1996 totaled $366.3 million, categorized as follows in the 1996 Consolidated Statements of Income: (In millions) ----------- Impairment of long-lived assets (1) $ 112.8 Lower of cost or market inventory impairment 91.4 Other restructuring (2) 162.1 ----------- 1996 pre-tax restructuring and other charges $ 366.3 =========== (1)Reflects the adoption of 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") and the related restructuring charges. (2)The remaining reserve at December 31, 1996 related to these charges was $137.7 million. Following is an analysis of the amounts charged against the reserve during the nine months ended September 30, 1997: Charges Balance 1/1/97 - Balance (In millions) 12/31/96 9/30/97 9/30/97 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Lease obligations $ 93.5 $ (60.8) $ 32.7 Contract termination costs 13.2 (13.2) - Termination benefits 4.6 (4.6) - Other (1) 26.4 (21.4) 5.0 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total $ 137.7 $ (100.0) $ 37.7 ========== ========== ========== (1) Includes reserves for bad debt write-offs, various taxes, legal fees, and other miscellaneous charges. NOTE 6-DEBT OFFERING On March 3, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the filing of a $300.0 million Debt Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("S.E.C."). The Company filed a Registration Statement with the S.E.C. in May 1997 which was declared effective on August 6, 1997. On August 19, 1997, the Company issued $150.0 million of 10 year unsecured notes under the Registration Statement. The interest rate on the notes is 6.95% per annum with interest payable on September 1 and March 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 1998. The notes are due September 1, 2007. The proceeds were used to refinance existing short-term indebtedness. NOTE 7-SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM The Company's existing share repurchase program totals 30.0 million shares, as adjusted to reflect the two-for-one split (see Note 2). The share repurchase program was undertaken as a result of management's view of the economic value of its stock. Since inception of the program, approximately 19.2 million shares, totaling approximately $459.8 million, had been repurchased as of September 30, 1997. Purchases will be made from time to time in the open market, and it is expected that funding of the program will come primarily from operating cash flow and existing funding sources. During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company repurchased approximately 2.8 million shares, totaling approximately $88.7 million, and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company repurchased 10.0 million shares, totaling approximately $263.5 million, under the program.
NOTE 8-REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY The Company's credit facility totals $500 million, $200 million of which is a one-year facility maturing June 1998, with the remaining $300 million in a five-year facility maturing June 2001. The revolving credit facility is used as a backup for the commercial paper program and may also be utilized for general corporate purposes. NOTE 9-SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Cash flows from operating activities included cash payments as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------- ------------------- (In millions) 1997 1996 1997 1996 - -------------------------------- -------- ------- -------- ------- Interest paid $ 7.7 $ 9.7 $ 28.4 $ 25.6 Income taxes paid $ 3.2 $ 1.2 $ 56.0 $ 50.7 Through September 1997, the Company has received notes approximating $98.5 million as a partial payment on the sale of Incredible Universe assets. Through September 30, 1997, $9.9 million has been repaid in accordance with the terms of these notes. In September 1997, the Company recorded a $20.8 million capital lease obligation related to a new point of sale system for RadioShack. NOTE 10-AST SECURITIES UPDATE In August 1997, the Company sold its remaining 4,413,594 shares of AST Research, Inc. ("AST") common stock under a tender offer from Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. The stock was received in July 1996 as a partial payment on a note payable from AST. Proceeds approximated $23.8 million. NOTE 11-TAX SHARING AND TAX BENEFIT REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT Pursuant to the Company's Tax Sharing and Tax Benefit Reimbursement Agreement (the "Agreement") with O'Sullivan Industries ("O'Sullivan"), a former subsidiary of Tandy, the Company receives payments from O'Sullivan approximating the federal tax benefit that O'Sullivan realizes from the increased tax basis of its assets resulting from the initial public offering completed in February 1994. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company recognized income of $2.2 million and $4.3 million, net of tax, respectively, under this Agreement. Amounts to be received in the future are expected to be similar, but are dependent upon O'Sullivan's level of earnings from year to year. No amounts were recognized as income during the comparable periods ended September 30, 1996. The income is recorded as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. NOTE 12-NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1997, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("FAS 130"), and Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("FAS 131"), which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Effective January 1, 1998, the Company will adopt FAS 130 and FAS 131.
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, is subject to risk. In addition, see Restructuring Charges and New Computer City Strategy for other factors that could affect earnings. 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. With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed herein contain forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) 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 not 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, technological advances or lack thereof, competitive products and pricing, availability of products, inventory risks due to shifts in market demand, the regulatory and trade environment, strength of equity markets, maintenance of strategic alliances, and other risks indicated in filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. <TABLE> Net Sales and Operating Revenues Net sales and operating revenues for the periods ended September 30 were: <CAPTION> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, % Increase September 30, % Increase ------------------------ ------------------------ (In millions) 1997 1996 (Decrease) 1997 1996 (Decrease) ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- --------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> RadioShack $ 732.0 $ 696.0(1) 5.2% $ 2,076.9 $ 2,019.9(1) 2.8% Computer City 457.6 400.1(2) 14.4 1,340.8 1,186.2(2) 13.0 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total continuing retail 1,189.6 1,096.1 8.5 3,417.7 3,206.1 6.6 Total closing retail 4.7 318.7 (98.5) 163.6 975.6 (83.2) Other sales 33.2 20.1 65.2 83.9 53.1 58.0 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $ 1,227.5 $ 1,434.9 $ 3,665.2 $ 4,234.8 ========== ========== ========== ========== (1) Adjusted to exclude units associated with the 1996 restructuring plan (including Tandy Name Brand and Famous Brands). (2) Adjusted to exclude units associated with the 1996 restructuring plan. </TABLE> Continuing retail operations generated 8.5% and 6.6% sales gains for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, respectively. Tandy Corporation's overall comparable store sales gains for U.S. and Canadian operations were 4.3% for the quarter and 1.6% for the nine month period. RadioShack's overall continuing sales increased 5.2% and 2.8% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year third quarter and nine month periods. The increase for the quarter was primarily due to the opening of 93 new stores, a 2.2% comparable store sales increase for the same period and strong sales to dealers. Third quarter comparable sales rose 2.2% over last year and 1.0% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, driven primarily by increased sales of wireless communication and telephone products. By the end of the third quarter, more than 6,000 company owned and RadioShack dealer outlets had been retrofitted for the Sprint/RadioShack "store-within-a-store" concept. The Sprint Store at RadioShack offers consumers a broad range of communications products and services, ranging from cellular, PCS and Sprint branded residential telephones, to Sprint long distance, wireless and local service, where available. This increase was partially offset by decreased sales of audio and video products for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997. The decline in audio and video sales is indicative of the heightened level of competition within the industry and lower consumer demand for these products which negatively impacted the consumer electronics industry as a whole. Sales of personal computers at RadioShack(R) also declined for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, due partly to delays in vendor shipments. Computer City's overall continuing store sales increased 14.4% and 13.0% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, respectively. U.S. and Canadian Computer City comparable retail store sales increased by 8.0% and 2.7% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997. The overall sales increases were primarily attributable to 1997 revenues generated by eight new stores opened since the third quarter of 1996 as well as comparable store sales growth. Third quarter comparable store sales increases were driven primarily by increased traffic generated by direct mail flyers, higher corporate merchandise sales and an increase in personal computer sales over the prior year, despite a decrease in the average selling price of personal computers over the same period in 1996. The Company plans to open five additional stores and expand an existing outlet store to a full-service Computer City SuperCenter in the fourth quarter of 1997. See New Computer City Strategy for further discussion regarding Computer City.

Gross Profit Gross profit as a percent of net sales and operating revenues was 38.1% during the three months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to 33.7% during the corresponding 1996 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the gross profit percentages were 37.2% and 34.2%, respectively. This increase in gross profit was a result of the reduction in sales of Tandy's lower gross margin retail formats, Computer City and Incredible Universe, when compared to total revenues. Excluding Incredible Universe, the gross profit percent of sales would have approximated 38.5% and 38.7% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared to 36.4% and 37.1% during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. In the third quarter of 1997, Computer City and Incredible Universe accounted for approximately 37.7% of consolidated sales, compared to 47.4% in the third quarter of 1996. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, Computer City and Incredible Universe accounted for approximately 41.1% and 48.5% of consolidated sales, respectively. RadioShack's gross profit as a percent of sales increased 1.2% for the quarter and less than 1.0% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, as compared to the third quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 1996. The increases are due to a positive mix shift within RadioShack's product offerings, primarily due to increases in cellular and telecommunication sales, as a percent of total sales, and further enhanced by decreased sales of lower margin personal computers. Computer City's gross profit as a percent of sales increased less than 1.0% for the quarter and was flat for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to the third quarter and nine month period of 1996. The increase for the quarter was due to increased sales of higher margin accessories, extended service plans and other personal computer related services. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percent of net sales and operating revenues for the third quarter of 1997 were 30.7%, as compared to 28.9% during the third quarter of 1996; the respective percentages for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 were 30.7% and 29.1%. This increase was primarily a result of the reduction in sales of Tandy's lower SG&A retail formats, Computer City and Incredible Universe, when compared to total revenues (further described under Gross Profit). Excluding Incredible Universe, SG&A as a percent of sales would have approximated 30.6% and 30.9% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively. Consolidated advertising expense declined 23.2% for the quarter and 25.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from the comparable periods in the prior year. This decline is primarily the result of reductions in Incredible Universe advertising from last year due to stores closed pursuant to the 1996 restructuring plan. Somewhat offsetting these decreases is increased advertising at RadioShack to promote the Sprint store-within-a-store concept, which was launched in September 1997. In addition, for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, rent and payroll costs increased as a percent to sales; however, actual dollars expensed decreased primarily as a result of the 1996 store closure plan. Pursuant to the Company's Tax Sharing and Tax Benefit Reimbursement Agreement (the "Agreement") with O'Sullivan Industries ("O'Sullivan"), a former subsidiary of Tandy, the Company receives payments from O'Sullivan approximating the federal tax benefit that O'Sullivan realizes from the increased tax basis of its assets resulting from the initial public offering completed in February 1994. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company recognized income of $2.2 million and $4.3 million, net of tax, respectively, under this Agreement. Amounts to be received in the future are expected to be similar, but are dependent upon O'Sullivan's level of earnings from year to year. No amounts were recognized as income during the comparable periods ended September 30, 1996. The income is recorded as a reduction of SG&A expense. Restructuring Charges In December 1996, the Company initiated certain restructuring programs and announced its plan to exit the Incredible Universe and McDuff businesses and the closure of 21 Computer City stores. The respective McDuff and Computer City stores have been closed. At December 31, 1996, there were 17 open Incredible Universe locations and two that had been previously closed. As of September 30, 1997, all of the Incredible Universe stores had been closed and the Company had concluded the sale of 13 Incredible Universe stores. This included the sale of the real estate at six stores and related fixed assets and inventory to Fry's Electronics, Inc. and its affiliates during the period March 1997 through July 1997 for approximately $21.5 million in cash and $97.6 million in notes receivable. The sales of the other seven Incredible Universe locations were completed during July and August 1997 for $81.2 million in cash, notes receivable and marketable securities, the securities having been subsequently sold for cash. An agreement for the sale of the real estate and improvements of an additional Incredible Universe location was executed in October 1997. The Company anticipates having a signed letter of intent for the remaining five locations by year-end; however, there can be no assurance that such letter will be signed or that the anticipated sales will occur. In arriving at the charges related to the restructuring plan, management was required to make certain estimates including, but not limited to, estimates about expected proceeds from inventory sales in closed units, real estate valuations, timing of closed store dispositions, and an assumption that third parties would complete the purchase of certain Incredible Universe locations pursuant to the purchase and sale agreements. Management made these estimates based on the best information available at the time and believes that these estimates were accurate at the time they were made. However, unexpected delays in the closing of these sales, among other factors, could result in the charges and reserves previously estimated to be inadequate, and future charges may be required. To date, the Company has not materially revised its estimated reserves.
Sales and operating revenues and operating losses of all stores closed pursuant to the restructuring plans are shown below for the three and nine months ended September 30: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Sept. 30, Sept. 30, --------------------- --------------------- (In millions) 1997 1996 1997 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales and operating revenues $ 4.7 $ 318.7 $ 163.6 $ 975.6 Operating loss $ (4.3) $ (23.7) $ (29.8) $ (77.3) Pre-tax restructuring and other charges for 1996 totaled $366.3 million, categorized as follows in the 1996 Consolidated Statements of Income: (In millions) ----------- Impairment of long-lived assets (1) $ 112.8 Lower of cost or market inventory impairment 91.4 Other restructuring (2) 162.1 ----------- 1996 pre-tax restructuring and other charges $ 366.3 =========== (1)Reflects the adoption of 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") and the related restructuring charges. (2)The remaining reserve at December 31, 1996 related to these charges was $137.7 million. Following is an analysis of the amounts charged against the reserve during the nine months ended September 30, 1997: Charges Balance 1/1/97- Balance (In millions) 12/31/96 9/30/97 9/30/97 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Lease obligations $ 93.5 $ (60.8) $ 32.7 Contract termination costs 13.2 (13.2) - Termination benefits 4.6 (4.6) - Other(1) 26.4 (21.4) 5.0 ----------- ------------ ----------- Total $ 137.7 $ (100.0) $ 37.7 =========== ============ =========== (1)Includes reserves for bad debt write-offs, various taxes, legal fees, and other miscellaneous charges. Net Interest Expense Net interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $8.3 million, an increase of $1.8 million from $6.5 million in the third quarter of 1996. Net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $22.6 million, an increase of $7.6 million from $15.0 million in the comparable prior year period. This net increase in expense was the result of increased debt levels due primarily to capital expenditures and the ongoing share repurchase program. Interest expense is expected to continue to increase in the fourth quarter from the normal continuing seasonal inventory build-up and as the share repurchase program continues (see Cash Flow and Financial Condition below). 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 1997 and 1996 were 38.4% and 37.2%, respectively. The 1996 tax rate was lower primarily due to the favorable resolution of a foreign tax issue. Cash Flow and Financial Condition Cash flow generated from operating activities approximated $20.3 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, as compared to $4.0 million for the comparable period in 1996. This increase related primarily to shifts among working capital components. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company's cash expenditures for inventory increased $162.0 million, while the Company generated $89.0 million in cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 primarily attributable to the liquidation of inventories associated with closed stores. Thus, cash flow improved in aggregate by $251.0 million. Partially offsetting the improvement to cash flow relating to inventories was a decrease in current liabilities of $219.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, related primarily to the decrease in accrued expenses associated with the restructuring activity. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, current liabilities decreased by $47.5 million. Investing activities used $46.5 million in cash flow during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $76.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year, primarily attributable to a reduction in capital expenditures from $135.4 million in 1996 to $87.3 million in 1997. Capital expenditures for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 were used primarily for retail expansion and upgrading information systems. Investing activities also included cash proceeds of $17.6 million from the sale of plant, property, and equipment for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 related to the sale of various corporate assets and one Incredible Universe location. In August 1997, the Company sold its remaining 4,413,594 shares of AST Research, Inc. common stock for approximately $23.8 million. Management anticipates that capital expenditure requirements will approximate $35.0 to $40.0 million for the remainder of 1997, primarily to support RadioShack's retail expansion and other capital expenditures. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, reflects the net addition of $299.3 million of long and short-term debt. Included in this amount is the issuance of $150.0 million of long-term debt under the Company's $300.0 million Debt Registration Statement (see Note 6 - - Debt Offering). Proceeds from this offering were used to refinance existing short-term indebtedness. Also included in the net additional debt is an increase in net short-term debt of $190.8 million which was used for general working capital requirements, capital expenditures, the share repurchase program and the repayment of current maturities of outstanding medium-term notes. The Company believes that its cash flows from operations, cash on hand, and availability under its existing funding sources are adequate to fund the Company's ongoing programs and operations. The Company may issue, from time to time, under the Debt Registration Statement, unsecured medium-term notes up to an aggregate of $150.0 million. Proceeds would be used to reduce short-term indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. In addition, most of the Company's new stores are leased rather than owned. Cash and short-term investments at September 30, 1997 were $64.0 million as compared to $121.5 million at December 31, 1996 and $125.0 million at September 30, 1996. Total debt as a percentage of total capitalization increased to 39.5% at September 30, 1997 for the reasons noted above, compared to 27.1% at September 30, 1996, and 22.3% at December 31, 1996. Long-term debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 13.6% at September 30, 1997 due to the issuance of $150.0 million of long-term debt in August 1997, compared to 5.4% at September 30, 1996, and 6.4% at December 31, 1996. The Company anticipates that the total debt to capital ratio will be lower at December 31, 1997 than it was at September 30, 1997 due to the reduction of short-term debt from the proceeds of inventory sales in the fourth quarter of 1997. The Company's credit facility totals $500 million, $200 million of which is a one-year facility maturing June 1998, with the remaining $300 million in a five-year facility maturing June 2001. The revolving credit facility is used as a backup for the commercial paper program and may also be utilized for general corporate purposes. In connection with the creation of Computer City, Inc. (see New Computer City Strategy), Trans World Electronics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tandy, borrowed $125.0 million on July 15, 1997 for one year from a syndicate of four banks. The note is guaranteed by Tandy. The proceeds of the note were used by the Company to reduce outstanding short-term debt. On August 21, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a two-for-one split of Tandy common stock for stockholders of record at the close of business on August 29, 1997, payable on September 22, 1997. This resulted in the issuance of 52.7 million shares of common stock along with a corresponding decrease of $52.7 million in additional paid-in capital. Treasury shares were not split; however, an adjustment was made to the Company's stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet to split the cost of treasury stock (in effect a cancellation of treasury shares). All references to the number of shares of common stock issued or outstanding, per share prices, and income per common and common equivalent share amounts in the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and management's discussion and analysis have been adjusted to reflect the split on a retroactive basis. Previously awarded stock options, restricted stock awards, and all other agreements payable in the Company's common stock have been adjusted or amended to reflect the split. Additionally, cash dividends which were $0.20 per share per quarter prior to the two-for-one split have been adjusted to $0.10 per share per quarter to reflect the two-for-one split. The Company's existing share repurchase program totals 30.0 million shares, as adjusted to reflect the two-for-one split. The share repurchase program was undertaken as a result of management's view of the economic value of its stock. Since inception of the program, approximately 19.2 million shares, totaling approximately $459.8 million, had been repurchased as of September 30, 1997. Purchases will be made from time to time in the open market, and it is expected that funding of the program will come primarily from operating cash flow and existing funding sources. During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company repurchased approximately 2.8 million shares, totaling approximately $88.7 million, and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company repurchased 10.0 million shares, totaling approximately $263.5 million, under the program. Inventory Compared to September 30, 1996, total inventories at September 30, 1997 have decreased $391.3 million, or 23.4%. The decrease in total inventory was primarily attributable to reductions at stores associated with the 1996 restructuring actions, as well as reductions at continuing retail stores. The reductions at continuing operations were a result of increased emphasis on all aspects of inventory management. Inventory levels have decreased $140.8 million, or 9.9%, from December 31, 1996, primarily attributable to reductions at stores associated with the 1996 restructuring actions, and to a lesser extent, inventory reductions at Computer City. Partially offsetting the decrease in total inventory from December 31, 1996 was an increase in inventory levels at RadioShack, due to seasonal fluctuations, new store inventory additions and the launch of the Sprint Store at RadioShack. Inventory is primarily composed of finished goods.

("CCI"), and thereafter conveyed to it certain related assets and liabilities of the Company's Computer City division. On July 17, 1997, Eureka Venture Partners III LLP, a Texas limited liability partnership ("Eureka"), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Company to acquire 19.9% of the outstanding common stock of CCI for a total purchase price of $24.9 million, payable in cash (1% of the purchase price) and a note (99% of the purchase price) issued by Eureka. The note is secured only by the common shares of CCI held by Eureka and accordingly a minority interest will not be recognized in the Company's financial statements. The note bears interest at 8% per annum and is payable on or before July 17, 2002. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Eureka and its principals provided a new senior management team for CCI. This new management team consists of Nathan Morton, CCI Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman, Avery More, CCI Vice Chairman, and Robert Boutin, CCI Chief Financial Officer, all of whom are principals of Eureka. John V. Roach, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, serves as the other Co-Chairman of CCI and as its President. Eureka also acquired a warrant to purchase an additional 20.1% of the outstanding common stock of CCI for $31.4 million payable in cash (at least 10% of the purchase price) and a note (not more than 90% of the purchase price) issued by Eureka. This warrant is exercisable upon either the attainment of certain financial performance goals by CCI or upon the date CCI is established as an independent entity. In connection with the creation of CCI, the Company assigned to CCI, and CCI assumed the Company's obligations under, a $125.0 million subordinated note payable to Trans World Electronics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tandy. This subordinated note represents certain liabilities of the Company allocable to its Computer City division that were assumed by CCI. Also on July 17, 1997, the Company provided to CCI a $150.0 million line of credit expiring on December 31, 1997. Any amounts borrowed under such line of credit are secured by CCI's inventories and accounts receivable. At the current time, any borrowings and related interest charges on the line of credit between CCI and the Company are treated as intercompany and eliminated in consolidation. CCI anticipates replacing the $150.0 million line of credit prior to December 31, 1997 with a third party lender. The Company and Eureka are actively exploring opportunities that could, over a period of time, result in establishing CCI as an independent entity in the future in one or more transactions. There can be no assurance, however, that any such transaction or transactions will occur. If certain financial performance goals are met by CCI and a sale or spin-off of CCI is proposed by Eureka but is not approved by the CCI Board of Directors, then Eureka has the option to require the Company to repurchase all shares owned by Eureka and the exercisable but unexercised portion of the warrant for certain amounts, as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. In addition, prior to CCI being established as an independent entity, the Company has the right to reacquire all of the shares of CCI owned by Eureka and the exercisable but unexercised portion of the warrant upon payment of certain amounts, to be determined by defined formulas pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. AST Securities Update In August 1997, the Company sold its remaining 4,413,594 shares of AST Research, Inc. ("AST") common stock under a tender offer from Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. The stock was received in July 1996 as a partial payment on a note payable from AST. Proceeds approximated $23.8 million. InterTAN Update As of September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect notes and other receivables due from InterTAN, Inc. ("InterTAN") as summarized below: Balance at September 30, -------------------------- (In millions) 1997 1996 - ------------- ---------- ---------- Gross amount of notes $ 20.9 $ 27.7 Discount 5.8 9.2 ---------- ---------- Net amount of notes $ 15.1 $ 18.5 ========== ========== Current portion of notes $ 5.0 $ 4.6 Non-current portion of notes 10.1 13.9 Other current receivables 5.1 5.3 ---------- ---------- $ 20.2 $ 23.8 ========== ========== 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: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------- ------------------ (In millions) 1997 1996 1997 1996 - ------------ ------- ------- ------- ------- Sales and commission income $ 2.6 $ 2.8 $ 6.5 $ 6.4 ======= ======= ======= ======= Interest Income $ 0.5 $ 0.6 $ 1.6 $ 2.3 Accretion of discount 0.8 1.0 2.6 2.9 ------- ------- ------- ------- $ 1.3 $ 1.6 $ 4.2 $ 5.2 ======= ======= ======= ======= Royalty income $ 1.0 $ 0.5 $ 2.0 $ 1.1 ======= ======= ======= ======= Through October 1997, 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, 1996, 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. See InterTAN's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1997 for more information.
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, 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, 1997. 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.
