REX STORES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2002 Note 1. Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the information set forth therein. Any such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2002 (fiscal 2001). Note 2. Accounting Policies The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. While management believes that the procedures followed in the preparation of interim financial information are reasonable, the accuracy of some estimated amounts is dependent upon facts that will exist or calculations that will be accomplished at fiscal year end. Examples of such estimates include changes in the LIFO reserve (based upon the Company's best estimate of inflation to date), management bonuses and the provision for income taxes. Any adjustments pursuant to such estimates during the quarter were of a normal recurring nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with their fiscal 2002 presentation. 10

Early Extinguishment of Debt In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company paid off approximately $7.0 million in mortgage debt. As a result, the Company expensed unamortized financing costs of approximately $150,000 as an extraordinary loss before an income tax benefit of approximately $59,000. 11
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We are a leading specialty retailer in the consumer electronics/appliance industry. As of April 30, 2002 we operated 255 stores in 37 states, predominantly in small to medium sized markets under the trade name "REX". Fiscal Year All references in this report to a particular fiscal year are to REX's fiscal year ended January 31. For example, "fiscal 2002" means the period February 1, 2002 to January 31, 2003. Results of Operations The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the relative percentages that certain income and expense items bear to net sales: Three Months Ended April 30 2002 2001 Net sales 100.0% 100.0% Cost of merchandise sold 70.9 72.1 ----- ----- Gross profit 29.1 27.9 Selling, general and administrative expenses 26.7 25.1 ----- ----- Income from operations 2.4 2.8 Investment income 0.2 0.1 Interest expense (1.4) (1.9) Income from limited partnerships 4.9 3.0 ----- ----- Income before provision for income taxes 6.1 4.0 Provision for income taxes 1.5 1.0 ----- ----- Income before extraordinary item 4.6 3.0 Extraordinary loss from early extinguishment of debt 0.1 -- ----- ----- Net income 4.5 3.0 ===== ===== 12
Comparison of Three Months Ended April 30, 2002 and 2001 Net sales in the first quarter ended April 30, 2002 were $93.5 million compared to $104.8 million in the prior year's comparable period, representing a decrease of $11.3 million or 10.7%. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in comparable store sales of 8.8%. The decline was also partially caused by a net reduction of nine stores since the end of the first quarter of last fiscal year. All major product categories contributed to the negative comparable store sales. The video category contributed 4.9%, the audio category contributed 2.4%, the appliance category contributed 1.1% and the television category contributed 0.7%. The other category positively impacted comparable store sales by 0.3% primarily due to stronger sales of ready to assemble furniture. As of April 30, 2002, we had 255 stores compared to 264 stores one year earlier. We did not open any stores and closed seven stores during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. There were four stores opened and two closed during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Gross profit of $27.3 million (29.1% of net sales) in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 was 6.9% lower than the $29.3 million (27.9% of net sales) recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily caused by a shift in sales toward higher gross profit margin products, more favorable pricing from vendors and less aggressive retail pricing in the stores. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended April 30, 2002 were $25.0 million (26.7% of net sales), a 5.0% decrease from $26.3 million (25.1% of net sales) for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The reduction in expenditures primarily relates to less advertising dollars spent due to limited expenditures on radio and television advertising in the current year and the reduction in the number of stores in operation. Interest expense was $1.3 million (1.4% of net sales) for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 versus $2.0 million (1.9% of net sales) for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. This decline was primarily caused by a reduction in the amount of mortgage debt outstanding and restructuring a large portion of the remaining mortgage debt to lower floating interest rates. Results for the first quarter of fiscals 2002 and 2001 also reflect the impact of our equity investment in two limited partnerships which produce synthetic fuels. Effective February 1, 1999, we entered into an agreement to sell a portion of our investment in one of the limited partnerships, which resulted in the reduction in our ownership interest from 30% to 17%. Effective July 13
31, 2000, we sold an additional portion of our ownership interest in that partnership, reducing our ownership percentage from 17% to 8%. Effective May 31, 2001, we sold our remaining 8% ownership interest. We expect to receive cash payments from the sale on a quarterly basis through 2007 which will range from 74.25% to 82.5% of the federal income tax credits attributable to the interest sold. Below is a table summarizing the income from the sales, net of certain expenses. Three Months Ended April 30 2002 2001 (In thousands) February 1, 1999 sale 1,850 1,807 July 31, 2000 sale 1,350 1,288 May 31, 2001 sale 1,436 -- ----- ----- 4,636 3,095 ===== ===== Our effective tax rate was 25% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001 after reflecting our share of federal income tax credits earned by the limited partnerships. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we recorded an extraordinary loss from the early extinguishment of debt of $91,000, net of the income tax effect of $59,000 as a result of paying off mortgage loans totaling $7.0 million. As a result of the foregoing, for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 net income was $4.2 million, a 34.7% increase from $3.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net cash used in operating activities was $10.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002, compared to usage of $2.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. For the first quarter of fiscal 2002, cash was provided by net income of $4.2 million, adjusted for the impact of a $4.6 million gain on our installment sales of the limited partnership interest and non-cash items of $231,000 which consisted of deferred income and depreciation and amortization. Cash was also provided by an increase of $5.1 million in accounts payable and a decrease of $1.2 million in accounts receivable. The primary 14
uses of cash were an increase of $15.9 million in inventory due to seasonal air conditioner purchases and other inventory purchases and a decrease of $1.6 million in other liabilities primarily due to the timing of payment for compensation and taxes. At April 30, 2002, working capital was $89.2 million compared to $92.3 million at January 31, 2002. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.3 to 1 at April 30, 2002 and 2.4 to 1 at January 31, 2002. We received proceeds of $4.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2002 from installment sales of a portion of our ownership interest in a limited partnership. Cash used in financing activities totaled $8.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The primary use of cash was for payments on long-term mortgage debt of approximately $8.6 million for the early extinguishment of debt for eight retail store locations and scheduled repayments. At April 30, 2002 we had authorization from the Board of Directors to purchase 1,158,300 shares of our common stock. 15
