FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
1. Nature of Company
Footstar, Inc., (Footstar, the Company, we, us, or our) is a holding company that
operates its businesses through its subsidiaries. We are principally a retailer selling family
footwear through licensed footwear departments and wholesale arrangements.
The business relationship between the Company and Kmart is extremely important to us. The licensed
footwear departments in Kmart comprise substantially all of our sales and profits. On August 24,
2005, the Company and Kmart entered into an agreement (the Kmart Agreement) with respect to the
assumption, interpretation and amendment of the Master Agreement, which formerly governed our
arrangement with Kmart. We further amended the Kmart Agreement on April 3, 2008 as discussed in
Note 15 Subsequent Events.
The Kmart Agreement, pursuant to which we operate these footwear departments, is scheduled to
expire by its terms at the end of 2008 (subject to any earlier termination by mutual agreement
of Kmart and Footstar or, in certain particular circumstances provided for in the Kmart Agreement,
unilaterally by a party pursuant to the existing early termination or default terms of the Kmart
Agreement), at which time Kmart has agreed to purchase the inventory in our Kmart footwear
departments. Because we have not identified, and we do not believe we will identify, a course
of action to offset this Kmart business, we are currently planning to wind-down our Kmart
business and all our other businesses by not later than December 31, 2008. This would likely
include a liquidation and wind-up of the Companys business, including proposing a plan of
dissolution to our shareholders. See Note 5 Relationship with Kmart for further discussion on
our relationship with Kmart and Kmarts obligation to purchase our inventory as further detailed in
the Kmart Agreement.
Commencing March 2, 2004, Footstar and most of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (Bankruptcy Code or
Chapter 11) in the United States Bankruptcy Court (Court).
On February 7, 2006, we successfully emerged from bankruptcy and paid substantially all our
creditors in full with interest. Pursuant to the guidance provided by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7), the Company has not adopted fresh-start
reporting because there was no change to the holders of existing voting shares and the
reorganization value of the Companys assets was greater than its post petition liabilities and
allowed claims.
2. Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein have been prepared in accordance
with the provisions of SOP 90-7. Pursuant to SOP 90-7, our pre-petition liabilities that were
subject to compromise are reported separately in the accompanying balance sheets as an estimate of
the amount that will ultimately be allowed by the Court.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present
6
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The
financial information set forth herein should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 29,
2007 filed with the SEC.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 29, 2008 are not necessarily indicative
of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 3, 2009.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
As of March 29, 2008, there have been no material changes to any of our significant accounting
policies, except that we partially adopted FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,
effective December 30, 2007 (see Note 4 Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards).
4. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting
principles followed in the United States (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. FASB Statement No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or
permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
In November, 2007 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS No. 157-2 (FAS No. 157-2) in which it
agreed to defer for one year the effective date of Statement No. 157 for all non-financial assets
and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the
complete adoption of FASB Statement No. 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
5. Discontinued Operations
In April 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with CVS Pharmacy, Inc. (CVS), pursuant to
which CVS agreed to assume any and all of Footstars obligations with respect to an environmental
remediation project relating to a landfill that has been designated as a superfund site which was
used by one of the Companys former manufacturing facilities that was closed over 20 years ago.
The assumption by CVS eliminated the previously recorded obligation of $1.6 million for cash
consideration of $0.9 million resulting in a gain of $0.7 million, net of tax, included in income
from discontinued operations.
In addition, the Company received $0.6 million, net of tax, due to a settlement of a class action
lawsuit relating to the Companys Athletic segment, which was discontinued in 2004.

FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
Net sales, operating income, interest expense and gain from discontinued operations for the three

6. Relationship with Kmart
The business relationship with Kmart is extremely important to us. The Kmart licensed footwear
departments account for substantially all of our sales and operating profit. The loss of this
operation, a significant reduction in customer traffic in Kmart stores or the closing of a
significant number of additional Kmart stores would have a material adverse effect on us.
We operated the footwear departments in 1,383 Kmart stores as of March 29, 2008.
As set forth in the Kmart Agreement, Kmart collects proceeds from the sale of our inventory and
remits those sales proceeds to us on a weekly basis less any applicable fees outlined in the Kmart
Agreement. The Kmart Agreement provides that we pay Kmart 14.625% of the gross sales of the
footwear departments and a miscellaneous expense fee of $23,500 each year per open store. Such fees
were $24.7 million and $26.9 million for the three months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007,
respectively. As of March 29, 2008 and December 29, 2007, we had outstanding accounts receivable
due from Kmart of $7.0 million and $9.0 million respectively, which were subsequently collected in
April 2008 and January 2008, respectively.
The Kmart Agreement governs our relationship with Kmart and is scheduled to expire at the end of
2008 (subject to any earlier termination by mutual agreement of Kmart and Footstar or, in certain
particular circumstances provided for in the Kmart Agreement, unilaterally by a party pursuant to
the existing early termination or default terms of the Kmart Agreement) at which time Kmart is
obligated to purchase all our inventory relating to the footwear departments at Kmart at book
value, as defined in the Kmart Agreement. Because we have not identified, and we do not believe we
will identify, a course of action to offset this business, we are currently planning to wind-down
our Kmart business and all our other businesses by not later than December 31, 2008. This would
likely include a liquidation and wind-up of the Companys business, including proposing a plan of
dissolution to our shareholders.
We and Kmart each have the right to terminate the Kmart Agreement early if the gross sales of the
footwear departments are less than $550.0 million in any year based on the most recent four
consecutive fiscal quarters, provided that this gross sales minimum will be reduced by $0.4 million
for each store that is closed or converted after August 25, 2005. Fifty-six stores have been closed
or converted from August 25, 2005 through April 26, 2008. We also have the unilateral right to
terminate the Kmart Agreement if either (i) the number of Kmart stores is less than 900 or (ii) the
gross sales of the footwear departments in any four consecutive quarters are less than $450.0
million. Since August 2005, the gross sales of the footwear departments in any four consecutive
fiscal quarters have ranged from $599.6 million to $650.7 million. In the event of any such
8
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
termination, Kmart is obligated to purchase all of the inventory (including inventory that is on
order but excluding inventory that is damaged, unsalable, and seasonal inventory, as defined) for
an amount equal to the book value of the inventory, as defined.
Pursuant to the Kmart Agreement, Kmart must pay us the stipulated loss value (as set forth below)
if it terminates our licenses to operate footwear departments in up to 451 Kmart stores during the
remaining term of the Kmart Agreement by disposing of, closing or converting those stores. As of
March 29, 2008, Kmart could dispose of, close or convert 451 additional stores during 2008 without
paying us a stipulated loss value. For each store that is disposed of, closed or converted, Kmart
must purchase all of our in-store inventory (excluding inventory that is damaged, unsaleable and
seasonal inventory, as defined by the parties) at book value, as defined by the parties. In
addition, to the extent Kmart exceeds the 451 store aggregate limit; Kmart must pay us a
non-refundable stipulated loss value per store equal to $20,000 for terminations occurring in 2008.
If the entire Kmart Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Kmart is not obligated
to make any stipulated loss value payments for such stores.
The Kmart Agreement sets forth the parties obligations with respect to staffing and advertising.
Specifically, we must spend at least 10% of gross sales in the footwear departments on staffing
costs, as defined, for the stores and we must schedule the staffing in each store at a minimum of
40 hours per week. In addition, Kmart is required to allocate at least 52 weekend newspaper
advertising insert pages per year to our products.
Kmart has a claim against us in the amount of $11,000 for each store that was an existing store on
August 25, 2005, which is generally payable by us to Kmart at the time a store is disposed of,
closed or converted to another retail format in accordance with the store limitation described
above. However, upon the expiration of the Kmart Agreement or upon early termination of that
agreement other than as a result of our breach, all such claims not yet due and payable will be
waived for any remaining stores. If the Kmart Agreement is terminated as a result of our breach,
such claims for remaining stores will not be waived and will become immediately due and payable.
7. Liabilities Related to Discontinued Operations
The disposition of our Athletic Segment and certain operations within our Meldisco Segment in
fiscal year 2004, have been accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets. Accordingly, we
have separately reported our liabilities related to discontinued operations. In addition, we
applied the provisions of FASB Statement No. 144 to the stores closed by Kmart during the first
three months of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 and determined that these stores either did not meet
the criteria to be accounted for as discontinued operations or were not considered material to our
consolidated results of operations.
Liabilities related to discontinued operations consisted of accrued expenses of $0.9 million at
March 29, 2008 and at December 29, 2007.
8. Liabilities Subject to Compromise
Liabilities subject to compromise represent our current estimate of the amount of the pre-petition
claims that are subject to restructuring during our bankruptcy. Pursuant to Court orders, we were
9
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
authorized to pay certain pre-petition operating liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of
business and reject certain of our pre-petition obligations. We notified all known pre-petition
creditors of the establishment of a bar date by which creditors must file a proof of claim, which
bar date has now passed for all creditors. Differences between liability amounts recorded by us and
claims timely filed by creditors have been substantially reconciled and paid upon our emergence on
February 7, 2006. The Court will make a final determination of allowable claims on the remaining
disputed amounts.
Liabilities subject to compromise consisted of accrued expenses of $0.5 million at March 29, 2008
and at December 29, 2007.
9. Earnings Per Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net (loss) income available for common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by
dividing net (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares
outstanding, after giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding options
or other contracts or obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted.
The following table reflects average shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted (loss)
earnings per share (in millions):

The computation of diluted EPS does not assume conversion,
exercise or issuance of shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS.
During the three months ended March 29, 2008, we had a net loss; as a result,
any assumed conversions would result in reducing the loss per share and,
therefore, are not included in the calculation. Shares that could potentially
dilute EPS in the future, but which were not included in the calculation of
diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive, totaled 926,598
shares for the three months ended March 29, 2008 and 496,415 shares for the
three months ended March 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2007
all shares excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS had exercise prices
greater than the Companys market price per share. There were no assumed
shares having an anti-dilutive effect or EPS in any period. |

11. Income Taxes
The 2008 and 2007 income tax provision relates to the estimated income tax obligation of our
stores located in Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands, which do not have net operating losses
available to offset current income. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31,
2007 was lower than the expected rate and the applicable U.S. statutory rate because the Company is
utilizing net operating losses available to reduce the annual provision. Also included in the
income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2007 is a provision for alternative
minimum tax.
As of March 29, 2008, all of the Companys deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities,
continue to be subject to a full valuation allowance, including the net operating losses available
to offset future taxable income.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Kmart Relationship
The Kmart Agreement is scheduled to expire at the end of December 2008 (subject to any earlier
termination by mutual agreement of Kmart and Footstar or, in certain particular circumstances
provided for in the Kmart Agreement, unilaterally by a party pursuant to the existing early
termination or default terms of the Kmart Agreement). Because the Company has not to date
identified, and we do not believe we will identify, a course of action to offset this business, we
are currently planning to wind-down our Kmart business and all our other businesses by not later
than December 31, 2008. This would likely include a liquidation and wind-up of the Companys
business, including proposing a plan of dissolution to our shareholders. In addition, should we
fail to meet the minimum sales tests, staffing requirements or other provisions provided in the
Kmart Agreement, after the expiration of applicable cure periods, termination of our business could
occur prior to December 31, 2008.
Litigation Matters
On or about March 3, 2005, an action was filed against us in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Oregon, captioned Adidas America, Inc. and Adidas Salomon AG v. Kmart Corporation and
Footstar, Inc. seeking injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages for alleged trademark
infringement, trademark dilution, unfair competition, deceptive trade practices and breach of
contract arising out of our use of four stripes as a design element on footwear which Adidas claims
infringes on its registered three stripe trademark. This matter was settled amicably effective
May
11
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
2, 2008 and the action was dismissed with prejudice.
We are involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
business. We do not believe that any of them will have a material adverse effect on our financial
position.
FMI Agreement
FMI International LLC (FMI), a logistics provider, is obligated to provide us with warehousing
and distribution services through June 30, 2012 under a receiving, warehousing and distribution
services agreement, as amended. In 2007, we were obligated to pay FMI a minimum of $17.8 million
for the two-year period of 2007 and 2008 payable $10.4 million in 2007 and $7.4 million in 2008.
Commencing with calendar year 2009, there are no specified minimum payments due under the FMI
Agreement. Payments to FMI in 2009, and subsequent years, if any, are based on transactional
pricing. The Companys obligation with respect to each calendar year commencing with 2009 through
the end of the term of the FMI Agreement is to provide FMI with an estimated total unit volume, if
any, prior to the start of such year. Such estimated until volume, if any, will be the Companys
basis for any minimum quantity commitment for such year.
13. Special Cash Distribution
On March 27, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a special cash
distribution to shareholders in the amount of $5.00 per common share. The Company recorded this
distribution effective the date the declaration was made by the Board of Directors. As such, the
Company recorded a special cash distribution which reduced retained earnings by the amount
available on the date of declaration ($88.8 million) and reduced additional paid-in capital for the
amount in excess of retained earnings ($16.0 million). The special cash distribution was paid on
April 30, 2007.
14. Debt
The Company maintains a $100 million senior-secured revolving credit facility (the Credit
Facility) (containing a sub-limit for issuance of letters of credit). The amount the Company may
borrow under the Credit Facility is determined by a borrowing base formula, based upon eligible
inventory and accounts receivable, and other terms of the facility. Revolving loans under the
Credit Facility bear interest, at the Companys option, either at the alternate base rate, as
defined, plus a variable margin of 0.0% to 0.5% or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus
a variable margin of 1.75% to 2.50%. The variable margin is based upon quarterly excess
availability levels specified in the Credit Facility. A quarterly fee of 0.3% per annum is payable
to the lenders on the unused balance. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of the earlier of
November 30, 2008 or thirty days prior to the termination of the Amended Master Agreement.
The Company did not incur loans at any point during the first fiscal quarter of 2008. As of March
29, 2008, the Company had no loans outstanding, standby letters of credit totaling $8.1 million and
$54.0 million available for additional borrowings under the Credit Facility.

15. Subsequent Events
IP Purchase Agreement/ Amendment of Kmart Agreement
In connection with this anticipated wind-down, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property
Purchase Agreement (the IP Purchase Agreement) and a Master Agreement Amendment (the Master
Agreement Amendment) with Kmart Corporation, certain affiliates of Kmart Corporation (together
with Kmart Corporation, Kmart) and Sears Holdings Corporation (Sears), which amends the Kmart
Agreement.
The Company entered into the IP Purchase Agreement on April 3, 2008 with Sears and its subsidiary,
Sears Brands LLC (Sears Brands). Under the terms of the IP Purchase Agreement, the Company sold
to Sears Brands substantially all of the Companys intellectual property, including the
intellectual property related to the Companys Kmart business, for a purchase price of
approximately $13.0 million. The purchase and sale was effective as of the signing of the IP
Purchase Agreement and was not subject to any closing conditions.
Under the IP Purchase Agreement, Sears Brands granted the Company a royalty-free, exclusive license
to use the intellectual property to operate the Companys Kmart business until the Kmart Agreement
is terminated and a royalty-free, non-exclusive license for a short period following the
termination of the Kmart Agreement to liquidate any remaining inventory, if applicable.
The Company entered into the Master Agreement Amendment on April 3, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of
the Master Agreement Amendment, Kmart agreed to offer employment (effective at December 31, 2008 in
most cases) to substantially all of the Companys store managers and district manager level
employees and the Company agreed to make all other store employees available to Kmart for
interviewing.
The Master Agreement Amendment also amends the provisions of the Kmart Agreement concerning Kmarts
purchase of the inventory associated with the Kmart business at the termination of the Kmart
Agreement. The Master Agreement Amendment provides the Company the option to have Kmart purchase
our seasonal inventory, as defined, at 40% of cost, among other things.
Retiree Health Plan
In connection with the previously announced anticipated wind-down of the Companys business at the
end of 2008, the Companys retiree medical and life insurance plan will be terminated for all
active employees who are eligible to participate in such plan and for all retiree participants
effective June 6, 2008. The Company provided such benefits to certain retirees and a closed group
of active employees who met certain eligibility requirements, including having a minimum of 10
years of full time active service as of December 31, 1992. As a result of this termination, during
the second quarter of 2008, the Company expects to eliminate its accumulated post retirement
benefit obligation of approximately $14.7 million and its unamortized net gain and prior service
costs included in accumulated other comprehensive income of $7.8 million, and record a gain of
approximately $22.5 million.
13
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
In connection with the Companys anticipated wind-down, on April 24, 2008, the Board of Directors
of the Company approved a plan to reduce operating expenses and align its workforce with its
anticipated staffing needs by reducing the Companys workforce by approximately 130 employees. The
Company notified these employees of their estimated termination dates, which range from June 28,
2008 through December 31, 2008. The Company expects to incur cash charges of approximately $4.6
million for one-time severance costs associated with these employees, which will be accounted for
on a straight-line basis over the period from notification through each employees termination
date. In addition, the Company currently anticipates that it may commit to additional reductions
in its workforce when and if such plans are approved by the Board of Directors.
ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking information within the meaning of The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be identified by the use of words such as
anticipate, estimates, should, expect, guidance, project, intend, plan, believe
and other words and terms of similar meaning, in connection with any discussion of our financial
statements, business, results of operations, liquidity and future operations or financial
performance. Factors that could affect our forward-looking statements include, among other things:
|
|
|
retention of employees; |
|
|
|
|
intense competition in the markets in which the Company competes; |
|
|
|
|
the Companys ability to manage the anticipated wind-down of its current businesses in
connection with the termination of our Kmart business by the end of 2008 (subject to any
earlier termination by mutual agreement of Kmart and the Company or, in certain particular
circumstances provided for in the Kmart Agreement, unilaterally by a party pursuant to the
existing early termination or default terms of the Kmart Agreement); |
|
|
|
|
whether the Company continues to operate the footwear departments in Kmart stores
through December 2008; |
|
|
|
|
the Companys ability to obtain and maintain adequate terms and service with vendors and
service providers and to ensure timely delivery of goods through December 2008; |
|
|
|
|
the effect of making more current certain vendor payable terms effective February 2008; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to maintain contracts that are critical to the Companys operations; |
|
|
|
|
the Companys ability to successfully implement and maintain internal control and
procedures that ensure timely, effective and accurate financial reporting; |
|
|
|
|
the Companys ability to reduce overhead costs commensurate with any decline in sales
and in connection with the winding down of our business; and |
|
|
|
|
the Companys ability to manage and plan for the disposal of, closing or conversion of
Kmart stores. |
The Companys operation of the footwear departments in Kmart stores accounts for substantially all
of the Companys net sales and net profits. The Kmart Agreement, pursuant to which we operate
14
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
these footwear departments, is scheduled to expire at the end of 2008 (subject to any earlier
termination by mutual agreement of Kmart and the Company or, in certain particular circumstances
provided for in the Kmart Agreement, unilaterally by a party pursuant to the existing early
termination or default terms of the Kmart Agreement) at which time Kmart has agreed to purchase the
inventory in our Kmart footwear departments (excluding inventory that
is damaged or unsalable at book value), as defined in the agreement,
plus $1.3 million. In addition, at our option, Kmart may buy our
seasonal inventory, as defined, at 40% of cost, less $1 million.
Because the Company has not to date identified, and we do not believe we will identify, a course of
action to offset this Kmart business, we are currently planning to wind-down our Kmart business and
all our other businesses by no later than December 31, 2008. This would likely include a
liquidation and wind-up of the Companys business, including proposing a plan of dissolution to our
shareholders.
In addition, the U.S economy is currently experiencing significant and worsening macro-economic
issues, including tightening of U.S. credit markets, residential real estate crisis, recessionary
and inflationary pressure, high energy prices, declining value of the U.S. dollar, higher
unemployment rates, and stock market declines, which the Company believes has negatively impacted
its business and may continue to do so in the future. The Company believes that consumer purchases
of discretionary items have declined and may continue to decline during periods of a negative
economic environment and other periods where disposable income is lower. A continued downturn in
the economies which the Company sells its products may adversely affect the Companys level of
sales, result of operations and ability to continue to fund our needs from business operations.
This, in addition to the factors cited above and the anticipated wind-down of the business could
result in unwillingness by our lenders, to support and accommodate further requests or consents
with respect to our Credit Facility.
Because the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is based solely on data currently
available, it is subject to change and should not be viewed as providing any assurance regarding
our future operations or performance. Actual results, operations, performance, events, plans and
expectations may differ materially from our current projections, estimates and expectations and the
differences may be material, individually or in the aggregate, to our business, financial
condition, results of operations, liquidity and prospects. Additionally, we do not plan to update
any of our forward looking statements based on changes in assumptions, changes in results or other
events subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than as included in our
future required SEC filings, or as may otherwise be legally required.
RECENT EVENTS
Our Board has continued to review and consider courses of action to resolve the Companys future in
the best interest of all shareholders, including liquidation and dissolution following the
termination of our Kmart business.
We are marketing our corporate headquarters in Mahwah, New Jersey for possible sale.
In connection with this anticipated wind-down, as discussed in Note 15 Subsequent Events, on
April 3, 2008, the Company entered into the IP Purchase Agreement and the Master Agreement
Amendment with Kmart and Sears.
15
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
In connection with the anticipated wind-down of the Companys business at the end of 2008 as
discussed in Note 15 Subsequent Events, the Company is also terminating its retiree medical and
life insurance plan for all active employees who are eligible to participate in such plan and for
all retiree participants, effective June 6, 2008.
Overview
The following points highlight the first three months of operations in 2008 as compared to the
first three months in 2007 for the Company and our financial condition as of March 29, 2008:
|
|
As of March 29, 2008 we operated in 1,383 Kmart stores compared with 1,389 stores on March
31, 2007, and we operated in 835 Rite Aid stores on March 29, 2008 in the western region of
the United States, compared with 857 stores on March 31, 2007; |
|
|
Operating profit decreased to an operating loss of $2.7 million for the three month period
ended March 29, 2008 as compared to an operating profit of $0 million for the three month
period ended March 31, 2007 primarily due to lower sales including less regular priced sales
during 2008; |
|
|
The Company used $34.7 million in cash from operating activities during the first three
months of 2008 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $10.0 million for the first
three months of 2007 primarily related to the change in vendor terms; |
|
|
As of March 29, 2008, the Company had $19.4 million of cash and cash equivalents with no
loans outstanding under the Credit Facility. Outstanding standby letters of credit as of
March 29, 2008 were $8.1 million. The Company had $54.0 million available for additional
borrowings under the Credit Facility as of March 29, 2008. |
Kmart Relationship
Our business relationship with Kmart is extremely important to us. The licensed footwear
departments in Kmart provide substantially all of our sales and profits.
See our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis Factors
to Consider Termination of Kmart Agreement, for additional information concerning the rights
and obligations of the Company and Kmart at the termination date of the Kmart Agreement at its
scheduled December 31, 2008 expiration date.
Product Sourcing
Product sourcing in the family footwear business is driven by relationships with foreign
manufacturers. Approximately 97% of our products are imported by us and manufactured in China
where the cost of labor has increased. A portion of our footwear product is comprised of
petrochemical products where prices have fluctuated dramatically over the past year. Furthermore,
higher product prices could result from Chinas July 2005 currency revaluation which allows the
value of the Yuan to link to a trade-weighted basket of currencies rather than being pegged to the
U.S. dollar at a fixed rate. Although we pay for finished goods in U.S. dollars, it is possible
that these costs could be passed on to us through higher product costs. As a result of these
issues, the Company has shifted certain manufacturing production to lower cost regions of China.
It is possible that the Company could experience lower product quality and/or late shipments in
these new factories which could unfavorably impact the Companys financial results. The Company has
experienced low, single digit cost increases for our products which we do not believe
will be fully offset by price increases and we therefore expect will have a negative impact on our
16
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
margins and profitability for the remainder of this fiscal year.

Net Sales
Net sales decreased $16.2 million, or 12.1%, to $117.9 million in 2008 compared with $134.1 million
in 2007. Shoemart sales were approximately $113.8 million in 2008 and $128.3 million in 2007.
Shoemart comparable store sales decreased 11.0% due to weaker winter product sales, a poor Easter
selling season and customer traffic levels that were down from the prior year. Shoemart store
counts were down on average by 0.4% during the first quarter as there were 1,383 stores in
operation in 2008 versus 1,389 stores in 2007. Rite Aid sales were down due to a 7.4% comparable
store sales decline.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $6.6 million, or 16.1%, to $34.3 million in 2008 compared with $40.9 million
in 2007. The weaker gross margin can be attributed to the 12.1% sales decline and the fact that
regular priced sales represented 50.4% of the total Shoemart sales volume in 2008 versus 53.7% in
2007, which was the primary reason for the gross profit rate decrease to 29.1% in 2008 compared
with 30.5% in 2007. The Company has experienced low, single digit
cost increases for our products which we do not believe will be fully
offset by price increases and we therefore expect will have a negative impact on our margins and profitability for the remainder of this fiscal year.
SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses decreased $3.6 million, or 9.3%, to $35.2 million in 2008 compared with $38.8 million
in 2007. The decrease in SG&A expenses was largely due to lower administrative costs in the first
quarter due to compensation and benefits ($1.4 million), legal
fees, including the effect of settlements relating to outstanding litigation, ($1.4 million) and other miscellaneous items ($0.8).
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.3 million to $1.8 million in 2008 compared with $2.1
million in 2007.
17
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
Operating (Loss) Profit
Operating profit decreased to an operating loss of $2.7 million in 2008 compared with operating
profit of $0 million in 2007 primarily for the reasons described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity used in funding short-term operations are our current balances
in cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flows, supplemented by borrowings available under
our revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility), as needed. The Credit Facility expires the
earlier of November 30, 2008, or 30 days prior to the termination of the Kmart Agreement.
Subsequent to our emergence from Chapter 11 on February 7, 2006 through December 29, 2007, we made
payments to creditors totaling $127.5 million, including interest where applicable. These payments
exclude claims for approximately $0.5 million which we currently expect will be paid, with interest
where applicable, upon final resolution.
Net cash used in operating activities for the first three months of 2008 was $34.7 million,
primarily consisting of net loss from continuing operations of $2.8 million, an increase in
inventories of $19.6 million, a decrease of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $15.7 million
and miscellaneous items of $0.8 million partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $1.8
million and a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.4 million. Net cash used in operating
activities for the first three months of 2007 was $10.0 million, primarily related to an increase
in inventory of $22.8 million and miscellaneous items of $3.0 million partially offset by net
income of $0.8 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.1 million and an increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $12.9 million (see disclosure below relating to the change in
payment terms to various suppliers).
In light of the anticipated termination of the Kmart Agreement by the end of December 2008, we
began providing more current payment terms (shifting from 60 days to 30 days) to various suppliers
in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, which we do not expect to impair or have an adverse material
impact on our liquidity or results of operations.
Cash used in investing activities was $0 million and cash used in financing activities was $0.3
million in the first three months of 2008 compared to using $0.2 million in cash in investing
activities and using $0.3 million in cash in financing activities in 2007.
Cash provided by discontinued operations for the first three months of 2008 was $0.6 million due to
a settlement of a class action lawsuit, relating to the Companys Athletic segment, which was
discontinued in 2004.
Factors that could affect our short and long term liquidity include, among other things,
maintaining the support of our key vendors and lenders, retaining key personnel, the payment of
further dividends or distributions, the impact of subsequent financial results and the timing of
the wind-down of our current businesses, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the
Company has experienced low, single digit cost increases for our
products which we do not believe will be fully offset by price
increases and we therefore expect will have a negative impact
on our gross profit and operating income for the remainder of this fiscal year. Because the Company
to date has not identified, and we do not believe we will identify, a course of action to replace
its
18
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
current business, we are currently planning to wind-down our Kmart business and all our other
businesses by not later than December 31, 2008. This would likely include a liquidation and wind-up
of the Companys business, including proposing a plan of dissolution to our shareholders. Although
we cannot reasonably assess the impact of all of these or other uncertainties, we believe that our
cash balances, cash generated from operations, and borrowings available under our Credit Facility,
if needed through the expected maturity date of November 30, 2008, will be sufficient to fund our
current business plan, working capital needs and anticipated expenses during the next twelve
months.
The Companys Board of Directors has considered, and could determine in the future, in its
discretion, to approve and declare further distributions or dividends to shareholders. There can
be no assurance that any such distributions or dividends will be paid or, if to be approved, in
what amount or amounts or the timing thereof.
We currently maintain a $100 million senior-secured revolving Credit Facility (containing a
sub-limit for issuance of letters of credit). The amount we may borrow under the Credit Facility
is determined by a borrowing base formula, based upon eligible inventory and accounts receivable,
and other terms of the facility. Revolving loans under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our
option, either at the alternate base rate, as defined, plus a variable margin of 0.0% to 0.5% or
the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a variable margin of 1.75% to 2.50%. The variable
margin is based upon quarterly excess availability levels specified in the Credit Facility. A
quarterly fee of 0.3% per annum is payable to the lenders on the unused balance. The Credit
Facility has a maturity date of the earlier of November 30, 2008 or thirty days prior to the
termination of the Kmart Agreement.
The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and contains
various affirmative and negative covenants, representations, warranties and events of default to
which we are subject, including certain financial covenants and restrictions such as limitations on
additional indebtedness, other liens, dividends, distributions, stock repurchases and capital
expenditures. The Company is required to maintain a minimum excess availability level at all
times, equal to at least 10% of the borrowing base. In addition, if minimum excess availability
falls below 20% of the calculated borrowing base, we will be subject to a fixed charge coverage
covenant. The Company is currently in compliance with all of its covenants under the Credit
Facility.
On April 3, 2008, the Company entered into the IP Purchase Agreement and a Master Agreement
Amendment. Under the terms of the IP Purchase Agreement, Footstar sold to Sears Brands
substantially all intellectual property, including intellectual property related to the Companys
Kmart business, for a purchase price of approximately $13.0 million. We were required to and did
obtain lender consent under our Credit Facility in connection with this sale and the amendment of
the Kmart Agreement.
As of April 26, 2008 we had no loans outstanding, standby letters of credit totaling $8.1 million
and $56.6 million available for additional borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our condensed
consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical accounting estimates
that require management to make judgments and estimates that are subject to varying degrees of
uncertainty. We believe that investors need to be aware of these estimates and how they impact our
financial statements as a whole, as well as our related discussion and analysis presented herein.
While we believe that these accounting estimates are based on sound measurement criteria, actual
future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these
estimates or forecasts.
The critical accounting estimates and related risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and
estimates. As of March 29, 2008, there have been no material changes to any of the critical
accounting estimates contained in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Derivatives
As of March 29, 2008, we were not materially exposed to changes in the underlying values of our
assets or liabilities nor were we materially exposed to changes in the value of expected foreign
currency cash flows. We historically have not entered into derivative instruments for any purpose
other than to manage our interest rate exposure. That is, we do not hold derivative financial
investments for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rates
Revolving loans under our Credit Facility bear interest at rates that are tied to the LIBOR, the
prime rate and the federal funds rate and therefore our condensed consolidated financial statements
could be exposed to changes in interest rates. Although we did incur short term borrowings under
the Credit Facility as a result of our special cash distribution in the second quarter of fiscal
2007, the Company has not considered this exposure to be material. We assess interest rate cash flow risk by
identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected
future cash flows. To the extent that we may borrow pursuant to our Credit Facility in the future,
we may be exposed to market risk related to interest rate fluctuations. Additionally, we have not
entered into financial instruments for hedging purposes.
Foreign Exchange
A significant percentage of the Companys products are sourced or manufactured offshore, with China
accounting for approximately 97% of all sources. Our offshore product sourcing and purchasing
activities are currently, and have been historically, denominated in U.S. dollars, and, therefore,
we do not currently have material exposure to cash flows denominated in foreign currencies nor have
net foreign exchange gains or losses been material to operating results in the reporting periods
presented in this report.
Historically, Chinas national currency, the Yuan, was pegged to the U.S. dollar at a fixed rate.
20
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
However, in July 2005, the Chinese government revalued the Yuan allowing its value to now link to a
trade-weighted basket of currencies. If the exchange rate of the Chinese Yuan were to continue
increasing versus the U.S. dollar, the Company may experience higher product costs with regards to
inventory purchased from China.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company has established controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and
forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The
Companys management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer Senior Vice President, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act))
as of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date). There are inherent
limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the
possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.
Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable
assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on such evaluation, the President and Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer Senior Vice President concluded that, as of the
Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance
level.
No changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting have occurred during the
quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The information set forth under the caption Litigation Matters in Note 12 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
The risk factors included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 29, 2007, under Item 1A. Risk Factors and Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis
Factors to Consider, should be reviewed and considered. In addition, certain modified risk
factors have been included below:
Continuing review of strategic course of action
Because we have not identified a course of action under which we would continue to operate
following the termination of our Kmart Agreement, which accounts for substantially all of our net
sales and net profits, we are currently planning to wind-down our Kmart business and all
21
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
our other businesses by not later than December 31, 2008. This will almost certainly include a
liquidation and wind-up of the Companys business, including proposing a plan of dissolution to our
shareholders no later then in 2009.
Because we have not identified, and we do not believe that we will identify, a course of action
under which we would continue to operate a business following termination of the Kmart Agreement,
we are currently planning to wind-down our Kmart business and all our other businesses by not later
than December 31, 2008. This will almost certainly include a liquidation and wind-up of the
Companys business, including proposing a plan of dissolution to our shareholders by no later then
in 2009. In connection with the likely wind-down of our current business, we continue to evaluate
all assets that would be available for sale, including our corporate headquarters. We cannot assure
you that we will be successful in the sale of our corporate headquarters or any other saleable
assets, if any, on the terms or at the time we may expect or plan for.
In connection with a plan of liquidation and dissolution, there can be no assurance as to the
amount, if any, of cash or other property that could be distributed to our shareholders or the
timing of any such future distribution.
Although we presently anticipate that a plan of liquidation and dissolution would be proposed by
our Board and presented for approval of shareholders by no later then in 2009, our Board has no
fixed timetable for when any distribution to our shareholders may occur due to the many
contingencies and uncertainties inherent in winding up and liquidating a business. A proposed plan
of liquidation and dissolution would be subject to approval and adoption by the Companys
shareholders. Under a plan of liquidation and dissolution the Companys assets would be sold or
otherwise disposed of, known liabilities would be paid or provided for, reserves would be
established for contingent liabilities and any remaining assets would ultimately be distributed to
shareholders. If a plan of liquidation and dissolution were to be approved and adopted by our Board
and our shareholders, it is expected that the Company would have limited or no new revenue
generation sources or activities and that it would not engage in further business activities
following the adoption of a liquidation plan except for winding up the business of the Company,
selling or disposing of any of its remaining saleable assets and satisfying and providing for its
liabilities and claims. The amount and timing of any distributions to shareholders would be
determined by our Board (or the trustee of a liquidating trust if our assets and liabilities are
transferred to a liquidating trust pursuant to a plan of liquidation and dissolution), in its sole
discretion, and would depend, in part, on our ability to settle or otherwise resolve and provide
for all of our remaining liabilities and contingencies and convert any remaining assets into cash.
If we pursue liquidation and dissolution, uncertainties as to the amount of our liabilities and the
disposition value, if any, of our remaining assets make it impractical to predict the net value
which might ultimately be distributable to our shareholders. No assurance can be given that
available cash and any amounts received on any sale of assets will be adequate to provide for our
obligations, liabilities, expenses and claims and to make cash distributions to shareholders. We
also cannot assure you that any distribution in liquidation would equal the price or prices at
which our common stock has recently traded or may trade in the future.
Termination of Kmart Agreement
There can be no assurance that issues will not arise in connection with any of the obligations,
adjustments and payments to occur on the termination of our Kmart Agreement.
22
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
As discussed in Note 15 (Subsequent Events) of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
this Form 10-Q, in April 2008 we entered into the Master Agreement Amendment, which amended certain
provisions of the Kmart Agreement, including, among other things, Kmarts purchase of the inventory
associated with the Kmart business at the termination of that agreement. Upon the termination of
the Kmart Agreement, each of Footstar and Kmart has significant obligations to be satisfied to the
other party. In light of the significant adjustments and amounts payable in connection with the
termination of the Kmart Agreement, including determinations as to purchase price to be paid by
Kmart for inventory, there is no assurance that the parties will in all instances be able to
resolve all remaining obligations to be satisfied and all amounts payable between them upon and in
connection with the termination of this business.
Certain issues in winding-down our business
As our Kmart business winds down during 2008, we may encounter problems and other issues which may
adversely impact our Kmart Agreement and our other business operations and our financial results.
We have been operating our business with Kmart for over forty years. The Kmart business currently
accounts for substantially all of our net sales and net profits and is expected to terminate by no
later than December 31, 2008. We could potentially encounter numerous problems and issues in
winding down and terminating this business and all of our other operations, many of which may be
beyond our control.
|
|
|
We could potentially have issues with our suppliers and other vendors which may be
concerned with the pending termination of our business, and we could potentially encounter
problems with merchandise production, shipments or quality; |
|
|
|
|
We may encounter difficulty retaining or replacing our store personnel or administrative
or management personnel; |
|
|
|
|
In connection with scaling back and winding down our business in anticipation of the
termination of the Kmart Agreement, we will incur cash charges in connection with severance
costs and may likely incur cash and non-cash special charges in connection with exit
activities and potential other charges or matters. |
As we scale back our business operations we anticipate reducing our workforce.
As discussed in this Form 10-Q under Managements Discussion and Analysis Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities, in April 2008 the Board approved a plan to reduce the Companys
workforce by approximately 130 employees. As we wind-down our current business in connection with
the termination of the Kmart business, we currently anticipate that we may commit to additional
reductions in our workforce at such times and to the level necessary to fulfill our Kmart Agreement
and other obligations.
We do not currently expect to generate any material revenues or operating income as an independent
company following the termination of our current business.
23
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
As discussed in Note 15 (Subsequent Events) of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
this Form 10-Q, we sold to Sears Brands substantially all of the Companys intellectual property
related to our Kmart business in April 2008. Following the termination of our Kmart Agreement,
which we expect to occur by no later than December 31, 2008, we currently do not expect to own or
manage any material revenue-producing assets and we will not generate any meaningful revenues. We
will endeavor to operate the Company on a scaled back basis. However, we will continue to incur
significant costs to maintain our ongoing administrative operations and continued corporate
existence as well as costs to wind-down our business, without corresponding revenues.
See Forward-Looking Statements in Item 2 for additional risk factors to consider.
