PART I

Item 1.    Business

Overview

        We are a leading closeout retailer of upscale home furnishings, housewares, gifts and related items in the United States. We opened our first store in 1974 and operated 842 stores in 47 states as of June 30, 2008. Our stores operate during periodic "sale events," that occur in each month except January and July. We are generally closed for up to the first two weeks of January and July as we conduct physical inventories at all of our stores. We purchase first quality, brand name merchandise at closeout pricing and, in turn, sell it at prices significantly below those generally charged by department stores and specialty and catalog retailers. We do not sell seconds, irregulars, refurbished or factory rejects.

        We believe that our well recognized, first quality brand name merchandise and value-based pricing have enabled us to establish and maintain strong customer loyalty. Our customers, who are predominantly women from middle to upper-income households, are brand savvy, value-conscious customers seeking quality products at discount pricing. While we offer our customers consistent merchandise categories, each sales event features limited quantities of new and appealing products within these categories, creating a "treasure hunt" atmosphere in our stores.

        We believe that our customers are attracted to our stores by our advertising and direct mail program that emphasize the limited quantities of first quality, brand name merchandise which we offer at attractive prices, rather than location. This has allowed us to open our stores in secondary locations of major suburban markets such as strip malls, near our middle and upper income customers. We are able to obtain favorable lease terms because of our flexibility in site selection and our no-frills format, which allows us to use a wide variety of space configurations.

        In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we recorded sales of $885.3 million and operating income of $24.9 million. We paid dividends in calendar years 2005, 2006 and 2007 ranging from $0.65 per share to $0.80 per share. On February 1, 2008, our Board of Directors voted to terminate the declaration of an annual cash dividend. The Board of Directors indicated that it will consider the full range of alternatives with regard to the use of any excess cash flow in the future.

        On April 30, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30, effective June 30, 2007. Accordingly, our financial statements include the six month period ended June 30, 2007, and will represent the twelve month periods ending June 30, thereafter. As a result of this change, this Form 10-K includes financial information for the six month transition period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the twelve month periods ended June 30, 2008, and 2007, December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003. The twelve-month period ended June 30, 2008 is hereinafter referred to as fiscal 2008.

Key Operating Strengths

        Our success is based on the following operating strengths:

3


Growth Strategy

        Our growth strategy is to continue to build on our position as a leading closeout retailer of upscale home furnishings, housewares, gifts and related items in the United States by:

4


Industry Trends

        As a closeout retailer of first quality, brand name merchandise, we benefit from attractive characteristics in the closeout industry. Closeout merchandise is generally available to closeout retailers at low prices for a variety of reasons, including the inability of a manufacturer to sell merchandise through regular channels, the discontinuance of merchandise due to a style or color change, the cancellation of orders placed by other retailers and the termination of business by a manufacturer or wholesaler. Occasionally, the closeout retailer may be able to purchase closeout merchandise because a manufacturer has excess raw materials or production capacity. Typically, closeout retailers have lower merchandise costs, capital expenditures and operating costs, allowing them to sell merchandise at prices lower than other retailers.

        In addition, we benefit from several trends in the retailing industry. The increase in "just-in-time" inventory management techniques and the rise in retailer consolidation have both resulted in a shift of inventory risk from retailers to manufacturers. In response to an increasingly competitive market, manufacturers are introducing new products and new packaging more frequently. We believe that these trends have helped make the closeout retailer an integral part of manufacturers' overall distribution strategies. As a result, we believe manufacturers are increasingly looking for larger, more sophisticated closeout retailers such as ourselves that can purchase larger and more varied merchandise and can control the distribution and advertising of specific products in order to minimize disruption to the manufacturers' traditional distribution channels.

5


Products

        We sell upscale home furnishings, housewares, gifts and related items. We do not sell seconds, irregulars, refurbished or factory rejects. Our merchandise primarily consists of lamps, rugs, kitchen accessories, small electronics, gourmet housewares, linens, luggage, bedroom and bathroom accessories, toys, stationary and silk plants as well as crystal, collectibles and silver serving pieces. We specialize in well-recognized, first quality, brand name merchandise, which has included Calphalon cookware, Krups, KitchenAid and Cuisinart appliances, Sferra linens, Donna Karan bath towels, Samsonite luggage, Wallace and Gorham flatware, Lenox and Dansk tabletop, Marquis crystal, Steinbach and Hummel collectibles, Madame Alexander dolls, Royal Doulton and Wedgwood china and giftware and many others.

        We differ from discount retailers in that we do not stock continuing lines of merchandise. Because we offer a continuity of merchandise categories with ever-changing individual product offerings, we provide our customers a higher proportion of new merchandise items than general merchandisers. We are continually looking to add new complementary merchandise categories that appeal to our customers.

Purchasing

        Since our inception, we have not experienced any significant difficulty in obtaining first quality, brand name closeout merchandise in adequate volumes and at attractive prices. We use a mix of domestic vendors and international vendors. As industry trends such as "just-in-time" inventory management, retailer consolidation and more frequent order cancellations by retailers place more inventory risk on manufacturers, we believe we will continue to see an increase in the number of vendors looking for effective ways to reduce excess inventory. In addition, as we continue to increase our number of stores, maximize productive retail space and increase distribution capacity, we believe our purchasing capacity will continue to increase and enable us to acquire larger quantities of closeout merchandise from individual vendors and manufacturers. Improvements in our distribution processes allow us to stock merchandise in our stores more quickly, which increases our purchasing flexibility. As a result of these trends and initiatives, we believe we will be able to take advantage of more and often larger, buying opportunities as well as offer an enhanced selection of products to our customers. During fiscal 2008, our top ten vendors accounted for approximately 13.1% of total purchases, with no single vendor accounting for more than 2.6%.

Pricing

        Our pricing policy is to sell all merchandise significantly below the retail prices generally charged by department and specialty stores. Prices are determined centrally and are uniform at all of our stores. Once a price is determined for a particular item, labels displaying three-tiered pricing are affixed to the product. A typical price tag displays a competitor's "regular" price, a competitor's "sale" price and our closeout price. Our management and buyers verify retail prices by reviewing prices published in advertisements and catalogues and manufacturers' suggested retail price lists and by visiting department or specialty stores selling similar merchandise. Our management information systems provide daily sales and inventory information, which enables us to mark down unsold merchandise on a timely and systematic basis and thereby effectively manage inventory levels.

Advertising

        We plan and implement an advertising program for each sale event. Prior to each sale event, we initiate a direct mailing or email to customers on our mailing list through our eTreasures® email program, which consists of customers who have previously visited our stores and requested mailings.

6



These direct mailings alert customers to the opening of a sale event and the merchandise and prices we offer. We also communicate with customers by advertising in local newspapers in each of our markets.

        While we believe our direct mailings, targeted emails, newspaper and print advertising remain effective, we believe broadcast advertising may also be an effective means to attract new customers, encourage repeat visits by our existing customers and increase consumer awareness of Tuesday Morning. We have used television advertising in select markets in the past and may continue our use of television advertising in fiscal 2009.

Stores and Store Operations

         Site Selection.    During the planning process for fiscal 2009, we evaluated our current store base and plans for new store growth. As a result of this evaluation, we will continue pursuing expansion and relocation opportunities within our existing store base as well as opening new stores. For both new stores and relocations, we are negotiating for upgraded sites. With the expansion opportunities, we are working with high producing stores and increasing the selling square footage. We believe this will benefit us and better position us for the long-term while still maintaining a low cost per square foot in rent expense. To that end, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 we plan to add slightly fewer stores than in prior years and expand or relocate existing stores as we locate profitable opportunities to do so. We expect our new stores to be similar in appearance and operation to our existing stores and do not anticipate any difficulties in identifying suitable additional store locations in areas with our target customer demographics. As we continue our expansion and relocation strategy, we expect to incur a minimal increase in the cost of real estate for those locations.

        We believe that our customers are attracted to our stores by our advertising, direct mail and email programs that emphasizes the limited quantities of first quality, brand name merchandise which we offer at attractive prices, rather than by location. This has allowed us to open our stores in secondary locations of major suburban markets, such as strip malls, near our middle and upper-income customers. We are able to obtain favorable lease terms because of our flexibility in site selection and our no-frills format, which allows us to effectively use a wide variety of space configurations. As a result of this opportunistic approach to site selection, we believe our real estate costs are lower than those of other retailers.

         Store Leases.    Except for one store adjacent to our distribution center, we lease our store locations under non-cancelable operating leases that include optional renewal periods. Some of our leases also provide for contingent rent based upon store sales exceeding stipulated amounts.

        Our store leases typically include "kick clauses," which allow us, at our option, to exit the lease 24 to 36 months after entering into the lease. These kick clauses, when combined with our inexpensive and portable store fixtures, provide us with flexibility in opening new stores by allowing us to quickly and cost-effectively vacate a site that does not meet our sales expectations. As a result, we generally do not operate locations with store level operating losses.

         Store Layout.    Our opportunistic site selection and "no-frills" approach to presenting merchandise allow us to use a wide variety of space configurations. The size of our stores generally ranges from 6,000 to 15,000 square feet and averaged approximately 9,200 square feet as of June 30, 2008. We have designed our stores to be functional, with little emphasis placed upon fixtures and leasehold improvements. We display all merchandise at each store by type and size on racks or counters, and we maintain minimum inventory in stockrooms.

         Store Operations.    We operate our stores during "sales events," that occur once each month except January and July. We are generally closed for up to the first two weeks of January and July as we conduct physical inventories at all our stores. We have increased the frequency of shipments of new merchandise during a sale event, which has resulted in improved efficiency of merchandise receiving

7



and restocking activities at our stores. We have implemented initiatives to enhance the process by which merchandise is unloaded at the store and moved to the selling floor and we have increased our internal training program for store managers. We believe that on-going training is a critical component to the success of our store management. Each store manager receives ongoing training beginning with new manager training upon being hired or promoted as well as attendance at one or more training sessions held in Dallas, Texas. In addition, store managers are supported not only by the corporate office, but also by regional and zone field managers.

         Store Management.    Each store has a manager who is responsible for recruiting, training and supervising store personnel and assuring that the store is managed in accordance with our established guidelines and procedures. Store managers are full-time employees. Our store managers are supported by regional field management and zone level support. We have increased regional and zone personnel over the past two years and anticipate this level of support will improve and maintain consistency of execution at our stores. Our store managers are responsible for reviewing store inventory and ensuring their store is continually stocked for sale event and non-sale event periods. The store manager is assisted by part-time employees who serve as cashiers and help with merchandise stocking efforts.

        Members of our management visit selected stores during sale event and non-sale event periods to review inventory levels and presentation, personnel performance, expense controls, security and adherence to our procedures. In addition, regional managers periodically meet with senior management to review store policies and to discuss purchasing, merchandising and advertising strategies for future sale events.

         Store Locations.    As of June 30, 2008, we operated 842 stores in 47 states. Specific store locations can be accessed through our website at www.tuesdaymorning.com.

Distribution

        An important aspect of our success involves our ability to process, sort and distribute inventory quickly and efficiently. Our buying, distribution center and planning and allocation departments work closely together to ensure that our inventory flow is efficient and effective. The majority of our merchandise is received, inspected, counted, ticketed and designated for individual stores at our central distribution center in the Dallas, Texas, metropolitan area. As a general rule, we carry similar products in each of our stores, but the amount of inventory each store is allocated varies depending upon size, location and sales projections for that store. Consistent with our sale event strategy, we ship most of our merchandise to our stores within a few weeks of its arrival at our distribution center. We generally do not replenish specific merchandise during a sale event; however, new and different merchandise is shipped to stores throughout a sale event.

        We make inventory deliveries to our stores between 40 to 47 times per year, which allows us to significantly reduce the amount of inventory stored at our distribution center and maintain more consistent in-store inventory levels. This number of shipments also allows our stores to process shipments more effectively and stock their shelves with new merchandise during sale events. We also use a bar-code locator system to track inventory from the time it is received until it is shipped to our stores. This system allows us to locate, price, sort and ship merchandise efficiently from our central distribution center.

Management Information Systems

        We have invested significant resources in computers, bar code scanners and radio frequency terminals, software programming and related equipment, technology and training, and we will continue to update these systems as necessary. We maintain a corporate local area network computer system, which includes purchase order processing, imports, transportation, distribution, point of sale and financial systems and enables us to efficiently control and process our inventory.

8


        At the store level, we have computer-based registers that capture daily sales data at the SKU level. Sales information, inventory information, open to buy, and other operational data is distributed daily to designated levels of management and to the individuals or groups that have responsibility for specific aspects of the business.

Competition

        We believe the principal factors by which we compete are price and product offering. We believe we compete effectively by pricing the merchandise we sell significantly below department and specialty store prices and by offering a broad assortment of high-end, first quality, brand name merchandise. We currently compete against a diverse group of retailers, including department and discount stores, specialty, e-commerce and catalog retailers and mass merchants, which sell, among other products, home furnishings, housewares and related products. We also compete in particular markets with a substantial number of retailers that specialize in one or more types of home furnishing products that we sell. Some of these competitors have substantially greater financial resources that may, among other things, increase their ability to purchase inventory at lower costs or to initiate and sustain aggressive price competition.

        We are distinguishable from our competitors in several respects. Unlike our competitors, which primarily offer continuing lines of merchandise, we offer changing lines of merchandise depending on availability at value driven prices. Most retailers in the closeout retailing industry are either general merchandisers or focus on apparel, while our focus is on primarily upscale home furnishings, housewares, gifts and related items. In addition, most closeout retailers focus on lower and middle-income consumers, while we generally cater to middle and upper-income customers. Finally, our business model has been and continues to be focused on ten major sale events which are promoted and advertised to our customers through direct mailings, emails and, from time to time, television advertising. We believe that our sale events create a sense of urgency and excitement on the part of our customers because they know that the availability of merchandise during a sale event is limited.

Seasonality

        Our business is highly seasonal, with a significant portion of our net sales and operating income generated during the quarter ended December 31, which includes the holiday shopping season. Net sales in the quarters ended December 31 of 2007, 2006 and 2005 accounted for approximately 35%, 35% and 36%, respectively, of our annual net sales for such years. Operating income for the quarter ended December 31 of 2007, 2006 and 2005 accounted for approximately 142%, 64% and 58%, respectively, of our annual operating income for such years.

Employees

        As of August 18, 2008, we employed approximately 2,000 persons on a full-time basis and approximately 8,800 individuals on a part-time basis. Our employees are not represented by any unions. We have not experienced any work stoppage due to labor disagreements and we believe that our employee relations are strong.

Trademarks and Tradenames

        The tradename "Tuesday Morning" is material to our business. We have registered the name "Tuesday Morning" as a service mark with the United States Patent and Trademark office. We have also registered other trademarks including "Closing Time®" and "eTreasures®."

This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you may lose part or all of your investment.


Risks Related to Our Business

We face a number of risks in opening new stores and relocating existing stores.

        As part of our growth strategy, we will continue to pursue expansion and relocation opportunities in our existing store base as well as open new stores. For both new stores and relocations, we are negotiating for upgraded sites. With the expansion opportunities, we are working with high producing stores and increasing the selling square footage. To that end, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 we plan to add slightly fewer stores than in prior years and expand or relocate existing stores as we locate profitable opportunities to do so. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to achieve our relocation or expansion goals or that we will be able to operate our new stores profitably. Further, we cannot assure that any new store will achieve similar operating results to those of our existing stores or that new stores opened in markets in which we operate will not have a material adverse effect on the revenues and profitability of our existing stores. The success of our planned expansion will be dependent upon numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

10


        We opened stores in new markets during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and the six month period ended June 30, 2007 and during calendar year 2006. We intend to enter into additional new markets in fiscal 2009 and beyond. These markets may have different competitive conditions, consumer trends and discretionary spending patterns than our existing markets, which may cause our new stores in these markets to be less successful than stores in our existing markets.

Poor economic conditions affect consumer spending and may significantly harm our business.

        The success of our business depends to a significant extent upon the level of consumer spending. A number of factors beyond our control affect the level of consumer spending on merchandise that we offer, including, among other things:

        The merchandise we sell generally consists of discretionary items. Reduced consumer confidence, lower housing starts and spending cut backs may result in reduced demand for our discretionary items and may force us to take significant inventory markdowns. Reduced demand also may require increased selling and promotional expenses. Adverse economic conditions and any related decrease in consumer demand for discretionary items could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business and results of operations are subject to a broad range of uncertainties arising out of world events.

        Our business and results of operations are subject to uncertainties arising out of world events. These uncertainties may include a global economy slowdown, changes in consumer spending, changes in debt markets, increase in gasoline and natural gas prices, and economic consequences of military action or additional terrorist activities. Any future events arising as a result of terrorist activity or other world events may have a material impact on our business, our ability to source products, results of operations and financial condition.

11


Our business is intensely competitive and increased or new competition could have a material adverse effect on us.

        The retail home furnishings industry is intensely competitive. As a closeout retailer of home furnishings, we currently compete against a diverse group of retailers, including department and discount stores, specialty and e-commerce retailers and mass merchants, which sell, among other products, home furnishing products similar and often identical to those we sell. We also compete in particular markets with a substantial number of retailers that specialize in one or more types of home furnishing and houseware products that we sell. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial resources that may allow them to initiate and sustain aggressive price competition. A number of different competitive factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, including:

        We cannot assure that we will be able to continue to compete successfully with our existing or new competitors, or that prolonged periods of deep discount pricing by our competitors will not materially harm our business.

We must continuously attract buying opportunities for closeout merchandise and anticipate consumer demand as closeout merchandise becomes available.

        By its nature, specific closeout merchandise items are available from manufacturers or vendors generally on a non-recurring basis. As a result, we do not have long-term contracts with our vendors for supply, pricing or access to products, but make individual purchase decisions, which are often for large quantities. We cannot assure that manufacturers or vendors will continue to make closeout merchandise available to us in quantities or on terms acceptable to us or that our buyers will continue to identify and take advantage of appropriate buying opportunities. In addition, if we misjudge consumer demand for products, we may significantly overstock unpopular products and be forced to take significant markdowns and miss opportunities to sell more popular products. Our inability to acquire suitable merchandise in the future or to accurately anticipate consumer demand for such merchandise would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The loss of, or disruption in the operations of, our centralized distribution center would have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

        With minor exceptions, all inventory is shipped directly from suppliers to our centralized distribution center in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area, where the inventory is then processed, sorted and shipped to our stores. We depend in large part on the orderly operation of this receiving and distribution process, which depends, in turn, on adherence to shipping schedules and effective management of the distribution center. We cannot assure that we have anticipated all of the changing demands which our expanding operations will impose on our receiving and distribution system or that

12



events beyond our control, such as disruptions in operations due to fire or other catastrophic events, labor disagreements or shipping problems, will not result in delays in the delivery of merchandise to our stores. We also cannot assure that our insurance will be sufficient, or that insurance proceeds will be timely paid to us, in the event our distribution center is shut down for any reason.

Our freight costs and thus our cost of goods sold are impacted by changes in fuel prices.

        Our freight cost is impacted by changes in fuel prices through surcharges. Fuel prices and surcharges affect freight cost both on inbound freight from vendors to our distribution center and outbound freight from our distribution center to our stores. In addition, the U.S. government requires drivers of over-the-road trucks to take certain rest periods which reduce the available amount of time they can drive during a 24 hour period. Increases in fuel prices and surcharges, as well as stringent driver regulations, may increase freight costs and thereby increase our cost of goods sold.

The loss or departure of one or more members of our senior management could have a material adverse effect on our business.

        Our future performance will depend in large part upon the efforts and abilities of our senior management, particularly Kathleen Mason, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and our other key employees, including our buyers. The loss of service of these persons could have a material adverse effect on our business and future prospects. We do not maintain key person life insurance for Ms. Mason or our other senior management. We only have an employment agreement with Ms. Mason, and have no such agreements with any of our other members of senior management.

We are dependent on external funding sources, which may not make available to us sufficient funds when we need them.

        We rely on external funding sources to finance our operations and growth. Our ability to obtain additional financing is dependent upon our future operating performance, general economic and competitive conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which we cannot control.

If we are not able to generate strong cash flows from our operations, we will not be able to support capital expansion, operations and debt repayment.

        Our business is dependent upon our operations generating strong cash flows to support our capital expansion requirements, our general operating activities and to fund debt repayment. Our inability to continue to generate sufficient cash flows to support these activities or the lack of availability of financing in adequate amounts and on appropriate terms could adversely affect our financial performance and our earnings per share growth.

An increase in the cost or a disruption in the flow of our imported products may significantly decrease our sales and profits.

        Merchandise manufactured and imported from overseas is the majority of our total product purchases acquired both domestically and internationally. A disruption in the shipping of our imported merchandise or an increase in the cost of those products may significantly decrease our sales and profits. In addition, if imported merchandise becomes more expensive or unavailable, the transition to alternative sources may not occur in time to meet our demands. Products from alternative sources may also be of lesser quality and more expensive than those we currently import. Risks associated with our reliance on imported products include:

        The products we buy abroad are often priced in foreign currencies and, therefore, we are affected by fluctuating exchange rates. In the past, we have entered into foreign currency exchange contracts with major financial institutions to hedge these fluctuations. We might not be able to successfully protect ourselves in the future against currency rate fluctuations, and our financial performance could suffer as a result. You should read "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation" and "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" for more information about our foreign currency exchange rate exposure and hedging activities.

We are subject to environmental regulations.

        Under various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, current or previous owners or occupants of property may become liable for the costs of removing any hazardous substances found on the property. These laws and regulations often impose liability without regard to fault. As of June 30, 2008, we leased all but one of our stores and 444,000 square feet of land containing a 30,000 square foot building. We own 1,318,000 square feet of distribution facilities. In addition, we operate three aboveground diesel storage tanks at our distributions facilities. We could incur costs in the future related to our leased properties, owned buildings or storage tanks. We cannot assure that our policies and training will successfully help us avoid potential violations of these environmental laws and regulations in the future.

Our success depends upon our marketing, advertising and promotional efforts. If we are unable to implement them successfully, or if our competitors are more effective than we are, our revenue may be adversely affected.

        We use marketing and promotional programs to attract customers to our stores and to encourage purchases by our customers. We use various media for our promotional efforts, including print, television, database marketing and direct marketing. If we fail to choose the appropriate medium for our efforts, or fail to implement and execute new marketing opportunities, our competitors may be able to attract some of our customers and cause them to decrease purchases in our stores and increase purchases elsewhere, which could negatively impact our revenues. Changes in the amount and degree of promotional intensity or merchandising strategy by our competitors could cause us to have difficulties in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.

Inclement weather in the markets in which our stores operate could adversely affect our operating results.

        Customers' willingness to shop and their demand for the merchandise in our stores is affected by adverse and inclement weather. Frequent or unusually heavy snow, ice or rain storms, severe cold or heat or extended periods of unseasonable temperatures in our markets could adversely affect our sales and increase markdowns.

14


We operate in highly competitive markets, and we may not be able to compete effectively.

        The retail business is highly competitive. We compete for customers, associates, locations, merchandise, services and other important aspects of our business with many other local, regional, national and international retailers. We also face competition from alternative retail distribution channels such as catalogues and internet websites. Changes in the merchandising, pricing and promotional activities of those competitors and in the retail industry generally, may adversely affect our performance.

If we do not attract and retain quality sales, distribution center and other associates in large numbers, as well as, experienced buying and management personnel, our performance could be adversely affected.

        Our performance is dependent on recruiting, developing, training and retaining quality sales, distribution center and other associates in large numbers, as well as, experienced buying and management personnel. Many of our associates are in entry level or part-time positions with historically high rates of turnover. Our ability to meet our labor needs while controlling costs is subject to external factors such as unemployment levels, prevailing wage rates, minimum wage legislation and changing demographics. In the event of increasing wage rates, if we do not increase our wages competitively, our customer service could suffer because of a declining quality of our workforce, or our earnings would decrease if we increase our wage rates. Further, our off-price model limits the market for experienced buying and management personnel and requires us to do significant internal training and development. Changes that adversely impact our ability to attract and retain quality associates and management personnel could adversely affect our performance.

If we are unable to operate information systems and implement new technologies effectively, our business could be disrupted or our sales or profitability could be reduced.

        The efficient operation of our business is dependent on our information systems, including our ability to operate them effectively and to successfully implement new technologies, systems, controls and adequate disaster recovery systems. In addition, we must protect the confidentiality of our and our customers' data. The failure of our information systems to perform as designed or our failure to implement and operate them effectively could disrupt our business or subject us to liability and thereby harm our profitability.

We maintain internal control over financial reporting, but cannot provide absolute assurance that there will not be material errors in our financial reporting.

        We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, but there are limitations inherent in internal control systems. If we are unable to maintain adequate and effective internal control over financial reporting, our financial reporting could be adversely affected. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be appropriate relative to their costs.

Our results of operations are subject to seasonal and quarterly fluctuations, which could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

        Our business is highly seasonal, with a significant portion of our net sales and operating income generated during the quarter ending December 31, which includes the holiday shopping season. Net sales in the quarters ended December 31 of 2007, 2006 and 2005 accounted for approximately 35%, 35% and 36%, respectively, of annual net sales for such years. Operating income for the quarters

15



ended December 31 of 2007, 2006 and 2005 accounted for approximately 142%, 64% and 58%, respectively, of annual operating income for such years. For more information about our seasonality, please read "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Quarterly Results and Seasonality." Because a significant percentage of our net sales and operating income are generated in the quarter ending December 31, we have limited ability to compensate for shortfalls in December quarter sales or earnings by changes in our operations or strategies in other quarters. A significant shortfall in results for the quarter ending December 31 of any year could have a material adverse effect on our annual results of operations and on the market price of our common stock. Our quarterly results of operations also may fluctuate significantly based on such factors as:

A failure to grow or maintain our comparable store sales may adversely affect our results of operations.

        A number of factors have historically affected, and will continue to affect, our comparable store sales results, including:

        Our comparable store sales results have fluctuated in the past, and we believe such fluctuations may continue. Our comparable store sales decreased 7.6% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, 2.5% in the six month period ended June 30, 2007, and 7.9%, and 4.0% in the calendar years ended 2006, and 2005, respectively. The unpredictability of our comparable store sales may cause our revenue and results of operations to vary from quarter to quarter, and an unanticipated decline in revenues or operating income may cause our stock price to fluctuate significantly. A failure to grow or maintain our comparable store sales results could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors.

        Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. These provisions include the following:

        In addition, we are subject the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. These provisions may prohibit large stockholders, in particular those owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, from merging or combining with us.

Our largest stockholder has significant influence over us, which may affect the rights of other stockholders.

        At August 19, 2008, Madison Dearborn Capital Partners II, L.P. and its affiliates (collectively, "Madison Dearborn") beneficially owned approximately 27% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, and thus, has a significant influence over election of our directors, approval of mergers, sales of assets and other matters. The interests of Madison Dearborn may conflict with the interests of other holders of our common stock.

Sales of our common stock by our largest stockholder could depress our stock price.

        If our largest stockholder sells substantial amounts of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could fall. Such sales might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future. As of August 19, 2008, Madison Dearborn beneficially owned approximately 27% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Pursuant to registration rights we granted to Madison Dearborn, we have filed, and the SEC has declared effective, a registration statement that would enable Madison Dearborn, from time to time, sell some or all of its shares of common stock, in the public market or otherwise.

Because our Board of Directors voted to terminate the declaration of an annual cash dividend, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investment.

        On February 1, 2008, our Board of Directors voted to terminate the declaration of an annual cash dividend. The Board of Directors indicated that it will consider the full range of alternatives with regard to the use of any excess cash flow in the future. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon various factors, including our business, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and investment opportunities.

17



Accordingly, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investment. This appreciation may not occur.

Item 1B.    Unresolved Staff Comments

        None

Item 2.    Properties

         Stores.    We lease all of our stores from unaffiliated third parties normally through non-cancelable leases except one located adjacent to our distribution facility. At June 30, 2008, the remaining terms of our store leases generally range from six months to five years with a small percentage out to ten years. The average initial term of a store lease is approximately five years with options available for renewal. We intend to continue to lease all of our new stores from unaffiliated third parties. Leases may contain renewal clauses which are often executed and may contain additional terms regarding percentage of rent payments. Our store leases typically include "kick clauses," which allow us, at our option, to exit the lease 24 to 36 months after entering the lease.

         Distribution Facilities and Corporate Headquarters.    We own approximately 1,318,000 square feet of distribution facilities and a 79,000 square foot building which houses our corporate office in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area.

        We have leases on three parcels of land of approximately 444,000 square feet, two of which are for trailer storage and the third parcel is for a 30,000 square foot building. The leases for trailer storage expire in April 2009 and December 2013 and the lease for the third parcel and building expires February 2011. We believe our current distribution facilities are adequate to meet our requirements for the next several years. We will, however, need to acquire or lease additional warehouse space in approximately three to four years to accommodate our distribution requirements as our store base grows.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

        During 2001 and 2002, we were named as a defendant in three complaints filed in the Superior Court of California in and for the County of Los Angeles. The plaintiffs sought to certify a statewide class made up of some of our current and former employees, which they claim are owed compensation for overtime wages, penalties and interest. The plaintiffs also sought attorney's fees and costs. In October 2003, we entered into a settlement agreement with a sub-class of these plaintiffs consisting of manager-in-training and management trainees which was paid in November 2005 with no material impact to our financial statements. In August 2008, our motion for de-certification of the class of remaining plaintiffs was granted, thereby dismissing their class action claim. However, we expect the plaintiffs to appeal this ruling and some may pursue their claims individually. A similar lawsuit, which also alleges claims concerning meal and rest periods, was filed in Orange County, California in 2004 by managers, managers-in-training and assistant managers and an amended complaint was filed in January 2007. This case is still in the discovery phase and the plaintiffs have been ordered to move for class certification. We do not expect these complaints to have a material impact on our financial statements.

        We intend to vigorously defend all pending actions. We do not believe these or any other legal proceedings pending or threatened against us would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Stores are included in the same store sales calculation at the beginning of the quarter following the anniversary date of the store opening. Stores that relocate within the same geographic market or modify their available retail space are still considered same store for purposes of this computation. The number of days our stores are open may fluctuate from period to period.

Average sales per store is the sum of the average sales per store for each quarter.

(3)
Inventory turnover is the ratio of cost of sales to average inventory. Average inventory is calculated by taking the average of the previous year-end and quarter-end inventory levels throughout the year.

A significant portion of our revenues and net earnings are realized during the period from October through December while the increase in merchandise purchases in preparation for this holiday selling season occurs in prior months.

(5)
Based on certain views expressed in a letter of February 7, 2005 from the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, we reviewed our accounting policies and practices associated with operating leases. Consistent with industry practices, we historically reported straight-line rental expense beginning on the lease commencement date. This had the effect of excluding the rent holiday associated with the pre-opening or build-out period of our stores from the calculation of the period over which we expensed rent. Following our review, we modified our accounting policies such that we begin recording rent expense on the date we take possession of or have the right to use the premises.

As a result of this adjustment, we recorded a one-time, non-cash, $3.9 million ($2.4 million, net of income tax) cumulative charge to earnings during the first quarter of the 2005 calendar year. The adjustment did not impact historical or future net cash flows or the timing of the payments under related leases. We believe that the new lease accounting policies will not have a material effect on future diluted earnings per share. Prior years' financial statements were not restated as the impact of this issue was immaterial to previously reported results for any individual previous periods.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with "Selected Financial Data" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes there to included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Overview

23


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        Management's Discussion and Analysis is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a recurring basis, we evaluate our significant estimates which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

        We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

         Inventory—Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method for store inventory and the specific identification method for warehouse inventory. Amounts are removed from inventory based on the retail inventory method which applies a cost-to-retail ratio to our various retail deductions such as sales, markdowns, and shrink, to arrive at our cost of sales. Buying, distribution, freight and certain other costs are capitalized as part of inventory and are expensed as cost of sales as the related inventory is sold. The retail inventory method, which is used by a number of our competitors, involves management estimates with regard to items such as markdowns and inventory. Such estimates may significantly impact the ending inventory valuation at cost as well as the amount of gross margin recognized.

        We capitalize into inventory all merchandise costs and certain costs incurred to purchase, distribute and deliver merchandise to our stores in order to more accurately match the cost of merchandise with the timing of its sale. These costs are included in cost of sales when the merchandise is sold. Other cost of sales components include merchandise markdowns, shrink and damages, which are expensed as they are incurred.

        We conduct full physical inventories at all stores at June 30 and December 31 to measure quantities on hand and make appropriate adjustments to our financial statements. During periods for which physical observations do not occur, we utilize an estimate for recording shrinkage reserves based on our historical experience from the results of our physical inventories. This estimate may require a favorable or unfavorable adjustment to actual results to the extent that our subsequent actual physical inventories yield a different result. Thus, the difference between actual and estimated amounts may cause fluctuations in the quarters ending in March and September , but the difference is not a factor in the quarters ending in December and June. Since we conduct physical inventory counts twice a year, the subjective nature of our shrink percentage is reduced and our exposure to the risk of a significant error is minimized. In addition, we have loss prevention programs and policies that we believe minimize shrinkage. Although inventory shrinkage rates have not fluctuated significantly in recent years, if the actual rates were to differ from our estimates, then revisions to the inventory shrinkage expense could be required.

        Inventory is the largest asset on our balance sheet and represented approximately 71%, 73%, and 62% of total assets at June 30, 2008, and 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Inventory decreased 16.6% or $47.8 million from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008, primarily due to a reduction in purchasing levels during the third and fourth quarters of 2008. Inventory increased 19.5% or $47 million from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007 primarily due to early purchases of favorably priced utilitarian and seasonal merchandise, as well as lower sales per store year over year. On a per store basis, inventory decreased 19.7% from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008 and increased 12.4% from

24



June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007. At December 31, 2006, inventory increased 5.2% or $12.0 million to $242.7 million from $230.6 million at December 31, 2005. On a per store basis, inventory decreased approximately 3.2%, primarily due to a reduction in purchasing levels during the third and fourth quarters of calendar year 2006.

         Markdowns—We have used markdowns to promote the effective and timely sale of merchandise that allows us to consistently provide fresher merchandise to our customers. We are also utilizing markdowns coupled with promotional events to drive traffic and stimulate sales during non-sales event periods. Markdowns may be temporary or permanent. Temporary markdowns are for a designated period of time with markdowns recorded based on quantities sold during the period. Permanent markdowns may vary throughout the quarter or year in timing with higher markdowns traditionally recorded in the quarters ended June 30 and December 31 due primarily to seasonal merchandise. Permanent markdowns are charged to cost of sales immediately based on the total quantities on-hand in the stores. We review all inventory during each quarter on a continual basis to ensure all necessary price actions are taken to adequately value our inventory at the lower of cost or market. These actions which involve actual or planned permanent markdowns are considered by management to be the appropriate prices to stimulate demand for the merchandise. In addition to regularly reviewing inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise, management also considers current and anticipated demand, customer preferences, age of merchandise and seasonal trends in determining markdowns. Our markdowns, as a percentage of total sales, have generally been consistent from year to year. Changes in markdowns from period-to-period are discussed as a part of our Results of Operations analysis below. Actual required permanent markdowns could differ materially from management's initial estimates based on future customer demand or economic conditions. The effect of a 0.5% markdown in the value of our inventory at June 30, 2008 would result in a decline in gross profit and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 of $1.2 million and $0.02, respectively.

         Insurance and Self-Insurance Reserves—We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance plans to provide for the potential liabilities associated with workers' compensation, general liability, property insurance, director and officers' liability insurance, vehicle liability and employee health care benefits. Our stop loss limits per claim are $500,000 for workers' compensation, $250,000 for general liability, and $150,000 for medical. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by us are estimated, in part, by historical claims experience, severity factors and the use of loss development factors. The insurance liabilities we record are primarily influenced by changes in payroll expense, sales, number of vehicles, and the frequency and severity of claims; and include a reserve for claims incurred but not yet reported. Our self-insurance reserves for workers' compensation, general liability and medical, in total, were $9.4 million, $1.7 million, and $1.0 million at June 30, 2008, respectively. Expenses during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 were $3.1 million, $0.8 million and $7.1 million, respectively. At June 30, 2007, our self-insurance reserves for workers' compensation, general liability and medical, in total, were $10.0 million, $1.0 million, and $0.7 million, respectively. Expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $1.9 million, $0.4 million and $2.9 million. At December 31, 2006, our self-insurance reserves for workers' compensation, general liability and medical, in total, were $10.1 million, $1.1 million, and $0.7 million, respectively. Our estimated reserves may be materially different from our future actual claim costs, and, in the future, if we conclude an adjustment to our reserves is required, the liability will then be adjusted accordingly in the period that determination is made. There were no material changes in the estimates or assumptions used to determine self-insurance liabilities during the periods presented. We recognize insurance expenses based on the date of an occurrence of a loss including the actual and estimated ultimate costs of our claims. Claims are paid from our reserves and our current period insurance expense is adjusted for the difference in prior period recorded reserves and actual payments as a change in estimate. Current period insurance expenses also include the amortization of our premiums paid to our insurance carriers.

         Stock-based compensation—The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and, through express consent of the Compensation Committee, the CEO are authorized to grant stock options and restricted stock awards from time to time to eligible employees and directors. We typically grant approved options with exercise prices equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of the option grant. The majority of the options granted vest daily over periods of four to five years and expire in ten years. On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share Based Payment," which requires that companies measure and recognize compensation expense at an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments granted under compensation arrangements. We calculate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment in developing assumptions, which involve a number of variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, the expected dividend yield and expected stock option exercise behavior. In addition, we also use judgment in estimating the number of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised of wages and benefits, rent and occupancy costs, depreciation, advertising, store operating expenses and corporate office costs. Increases in dollar amounts of these expenses are attributable to increases in the number of stores and increases in variable expenses due to new store sales growth. Variable expenses include payroll and related benefits, advertising expense and other expenses such as credit card fees.

Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2007

        Net sales decreased $38.9 million or 4.2% to $885.3 million in 2008 from $924.2 million in 2007, of which, sales from non-comparable new stores increased $30.0 million which was offset by a 7.6% decrease in comparable store sales from 2007, comprised of comparable store transactions decreasing 6.6% and the comparable store average ticket decreasing 1.0%. Our average annual sales per store decreased by $98,000 or 8.3% to $1.1 million in 2008. Comparable store sales and sales per store decreased primarily due to lower traffic levels. Management believes traffic levels were lower due to the lower discretionary income availability of our customers resulting from the impact of higher gasoline and energy costs and general economic conditions.

26


        Gross profit decreased $22.6 million or 6.5% to $322.7 million in 2008 compared to $345.3 million in 2007, of which, $14.2 million of the gross profit decrease was directly attributable to a decrease in our net sales. Our gross profit percentage decreased to 36.5% in 2008 from 37.4% in 2007. This 0.9% decrease in our gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to a 0.6% increase in our markdowns as a percentage of sales due to an increase in our aged inventory and a 0.4% increase in our distribution and freight expenses resulting from increased energy costs as a percentage of sales. These increases were offset by a 0.2% decrease in our shrinkage costs.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million or 0.4% to $297.9 million in 2008 from $296.6 million in the prior year. The increase was attributable to a $7.5 million increase in store occupancy costs, store personnel costs, and store fixed asset depreciation expense primarily due to the expansion of our store base offset by a $3.8 million decrease in advertising expenses and a $2.4 million decrease in legal and consulting fees. As a percentage of sales these expenses increased 1.5% to 33.6% in 2008 from 32.1% in 2007. The increased percentage is primarily due to reduced expense leveraging given our negative comparable store sales for the year.

        Net interest and other expense increased $1.2 million to $2.7 million in 2008 compared to $1.5 million in 2007. This increase was attributable to $1.2 million more interest expense due to higher borrowing levels in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2008 compared to the first and second quarters of fiscal 2007.

        Income tax expense decreased $9.5 million to $7.6 million in 2008 from $17.1 million in 2007 due to decreased profitability. Our effective tax rate decreased to 34.5% in 2008 from 36.2% in 2007 primarily due to a reduction in federal taxes related to deductions of state and local taxes of jurisdictions in which we operate.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

        Net sales increased $13.1 million or 3.3% to $408.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $395.4 million in the same period in 2006, primarily as a result of an increase of 48 stores from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007 offset by a 2.5% decrease in comparable store sales from the same period in 2006. Comparable store transactions decreased 3.9% and comparable store average ticket increased 1.5%. Our average sales per store in the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $511,700 and, a decrease of $21,000 or 3.9% from the same period in 2006. The decrease in average sales per store has been impacted by those stores opening in new markets performing below historical trends. Comparable store sales and sales per store decreased primarily due to lower traffic levels. Management believes that traffic levels declined due to the increase in supply of home furnishing products, the promotional environment of home furnishing retailers in this sector, as well as the economic pressures impacting the discretionary income of consumers.

        Gross profit increased $2.8 million or 1.9% to $150.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $147.9 million in the same period in 2006, primarily due to new store growth partially offset by a decline in comparable store sales. Our gross profit percentage decreased to 36.9% in 2007 from 37.4% in 2006. This 0.5% decrease in our gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to a 0.6% increase in purchasing, freight and distribution expenses due to an increase in delivery surcharges which resulted from higher energy costs offset by a 0.1% decrease in temporary and permanent markdowns attributable to a shift in seasonal markdowns resulting from a reduction in seasonal inventory on hand during the most recent period.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $12.6 million or 9.5% to $145.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $132.4 million in the comparable period in the prior year. The increase was mostly attributable to an $8.7 million increase in store occupancy costs, store personnel costs and store fixed asset depreciation expense primarily due to the expansion of our store base. As a percentage of sales these expenses increased 2.0% to 35.5% in 2007 from 33.5% in 2006.

27



The increased percentage was primarily due to reduced leverage on expenses as a result of our negative comparable store sales for the year and a 1.4% increase related to store occupancy costs, store personnel costs and store fixed asset depreciation expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses per average store was $182,000 in 2007, compared to $178,000 in the same six month period of 2006, an increase of 1.8%.

        Net interest and other expense increased $390,000 to $656,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $266,000 in the same period in 2006. This increase was attributable to $352,000 higher net interest expense due to higher average borrowing levels in 2007 than in 2006.

        Income tax expense decreased $3.8 million from $5.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 due to decreased profitability. Our effective tax rate increased to 39.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 37.9% for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to the impact of higher state tax expense on our effective tax rate when calculated based on six months of operating results rather than a full year. This impact is driven by the absence of the high volume of sales from the holiday selling season on the six month calculation.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005

        Net sales decreased $20.7 million or 2.2% to $911.1 million in 2006 from $931.8 million in 2005, of which, $71.5 million of the decrease was attributable to a 7.9% decrease in comparable store sales from 2005 offset by an increase of $50.8 million year over year in sales from non-comparable new stores. Comparable store transactions decreased 7.3% and comparable store average ticket decreased 0.7%. Our average annual sales per store in 2006 was $1.2 million, a decrease of $138,000 or 10.4% from 2005. The decrease in average sales per store has been impacted by those stores opening in new markets performing below historical trends. Comparable store sales and sales per store decreased primarily due to lower traffic levels. Management believes traffic levels declined due to the increase in supply of home furnishing products, the promotional environment of home furnishing retailers in this sector, as well as the economic pressures impacting the discretionary income of consumers.

        Gross profit decreased $14.8 million or 4.1% to $342.5 million in 2006 compared to $357.3 million in 2005, of which, $20.7 million of the gross profit decrease was directly attributable to a decrease in our net sales. Our gross profit percentage decreased to 37.6% in 2006 from 38.3% in 2005. This 0.7% decrease in our gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to a 0.6% increase in temporary and permanent markdowns required to sell slow moving inventory and the addition of promotional events to drive customer traffic, 0.3% increase in shrink and damages resulting from lower per store inventory levels year over year and a 0.1% increase in purchasing, freight and distribution expenses attributable to an increase in delivery surcharges resulting from higher energy costs offset by 0.3% in improved overall product cost.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $23.3 million or 8.9% to $284.1 million in 2006 from $260.7 million in the prior year. The increase was mostly attributable to a $16.6 million increase in store occupancy costs, store personnel costs and store fixed asset depreciation expense primarily due to the expansion of our store base. Also contributing to the increase is $4.0 million in stock compensation expense as a result of our adoption of FASB Statement No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006. As a percentage of sales these expenses increased 3.2% to 31.2% in 2006 from 28.0% in 2005. The increased percentage is primarily due to reduced leverage on expenses as a result of our negative comparable store sales for the year and a 2.2% increase related to store occupancy costs, store personnel costs and store fixed asset depreciation expense.

        Net interest and other expense increased $605,000 to $1.1 million in 2006 compared to $526,000 in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to $747,000 higher interest expense due to higher average borrowing levels in 2006 than in 2005.

28


        Income tax expense decreased $14.2 million to $20.9 million in 2006 from $35.1 million in 2005 due to decreased profitability. Our effective tax rate decreased slightly to 36.4% in 2006 from 36.5% in 2005 primarily due to the net adjustment of tax reserves related to net favorable settlements with certain state taxing authorities.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2004

        Net sales increased $34.0 million or 3.8% to $931.8 million in 2005 from $897.8 million in 2004, of which, $68.6 million of the increase was attributable to sales from non-comparable new stores offset by a 4.0% decrease in comparable store sales from 2004. Comparable store transactions decreased 4.4% offset by an increase of 0.4% in comparable store average ticket. Our average annual sales per store decreased by $99,000 or 6.9% to $1.3 million in 2005. Comparable store sales and sales per store decreased primarily due to lower traffic levels. At the time, management believed traffic levels were lower due to the lower discretionary income availability of our customers resulting from the impact of higher gasoline and energy costs.

        Gross profit increased $16.1 million or 4.7% to $357.3 million in 2005 compared to $341.2 million in 2004, of which, $12.9 million of the gross profit increase was directly attributable to an increase in our net sales. Our gross profit percentage increased to 38.3% in 2005 from 38.0% in 2004. The 0.3% increase in our gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to a 0.4% decrease in temporary and permanent markdowns because of fewer promotional events in 2005 versus 2004, a 0.1% increase in inventory shrink due to the increased inventory levels in our stores, and a 0.2% improvement in the leveraging of our distribution and freight expenses primarily attributable to a packaging improvement that enabled us to distribute merchandise more efficiently.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $23.6 million or 10.0% to $260.7 million in 2005 from $237.1 million in the prior year. The increase was mostly attributable to the $3.9 million one-time, non-cash lease accounting adjustment taken in the first quarter of 2005 and a $15.8 million increase in store occupancy costs, store personnel costs, and store fixed asset depreciation expense primarily due to the expansion of our store base. As a percentage of sales these expenses increased 1.5% to 27.9% in 2005 from 26.4% in 2004. The increased percentage is primarily due to reduced expense leveraging given our negative comparable store sales for the year and includes a 0.4% increase in rent expense due to the lease accounting adjustment and a 1.0% increase related to store occupancy costs, store personnel costs and store fixed asset depreciation expense.

        Net interest and other expense decreased $1.7 million to $526,000 in 2005 compared to $2.3 million in 2004. This decrease was attributable to $600,000 less interest expense due to lower average borrowings levels in 2005 than in 2004 and to $1.1 million in less deferred financing costs amortization due to the replacement of our revolving credit facility in December 2004 and less deferred financing costs required for amortization.

        Income tax expense decreased $4.1 million to $35.1 million in 2005 from $39.2 million in 2004 due to decreased profitability. Our effective tax rate decreased to 36.5% in 2005 from 38.5% in 2004 primarily due to the net adjustment of tax reserves related to net favorable settlements with certain state taxing authorities and due to a change in our state tax planning strategies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        We have financed our operations with funds generated from operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our cash flows will continue to be utilized for the expansion of our business and the use of any excess cash will be determined by the Board of Directors. On February 1, 2008, our Board of Directors voted to terminate the declaration of our cash dividend. Our borrowings have historically peaked in the quarter ended September 30 as we build inventory levels prior to the holiday selling season. Given the seasonality of our business, the amount of borrowings under our

29



revolving credit facility may fluctuate materially depending on various factors, including the time of year, our needs and the opportunity to acquire merchandise inventory. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions with unconsolidated, limited purpose or variable interest entities, nor do we have material transactions or commitments involving related persons or entities.

        Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, were $59.1 million while cash flows used for operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $55.8 million and net cash flows provided from operating activities for calendar year 2006 was $54.3 million. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the increase in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to a decrease in inventory of $47.6 million offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $17.4 million along with net income of $14.5 million, adjusted for depreciation expense of $17.5 million. The decreases in inventory and accounts payable were due to decreased purchases of new inventory to better match customer demand. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the shortfall in cash flow provided by operating activities of $55.8 million was primarily due to early purchases of favorably priced seasonal and utilitarian merchandise resulting in an increase in inventory of $46.3 million. A significant portion of our revenues and net earnings are realized during the period from October through December while an increase in merchandise purchases in preparation for this holiday selling season occurs in prior months. Negative comparable sales also contributed to the shortfall in cash flow as net income was only $3.1 million. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2006, the increase in net cash from operating activities of $54.3 million is due primarily due to net income of $36.4 million adjusted for depreciation expense of $16.7 million. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2008, and 2007, and December 31, 2006 were $8.6 million, $10.3 million and, $49.6 million, respectively. There has been no material change in our payment policy to vendors.

        Net cash used in investing activities was due to capital expenditures of $11.6 million, $6.7 million and $15.7 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the six month period ended June 30, 2007, and the calendar year ended December 31, 2006. During each year, capital expenditures were primarily for new store openings, various distribution center equipment and improvements and corporate office equipment and improvements. In fiscal 2009, we expect to spend approximately $10.0 million for capital expenditures, primarily for new store openings and distribution center equipment and improvements. Capital expenditures will be financed with funds generated from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

        Net cash used in financing activities of $49.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, was due primarily to net payments on our revolving credit facility of $48.0 million. Net cash provided by financing activities of $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, was due primarily to net borrowings on our revolving credit facility of $56.5 million offset by our dividend payment of $33.1 million. Net cash used by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2006, and 2005, of $32.5 million and $22.7 million, respectively, were due primarily to the payment of dividends of $33.1 million and $26.9 million, respectively.

        On March 9, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.80 per common share that was paid on March 30, 2007 in the amount of $33.1 million. During the first quarter of 2006, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.80 per share of common stock totaling $33.1 million and was paid on March 30, 2006. During the second quarter of 2005, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.65 per share of common stock totaling $26.9 million and was paid on June 20, 2005. On February 1, 2008, our Board of Directors voted to terminate the declaration of an annual cash dividend. The Board of Directors indicated that it will consider the full range of alternatives with regard to the use of any excess cash flow in the future.

        In December 2004, we entered into a $210 million revolving credit facility which originally expired in December 2009. Any borrowing under the revolver incurs interest at LIBOR or the prime rate, depending on the term of the borrowing, plus an applicable margin. We incur commitment fees of up

30



to 0.25% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. This rate is reduced or increased as our average total leverage ratio changes. Our indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by a lien on our inventory and cash accounts, as well as a pledge of our ownership interests in all of our subsidiaries. On April 18, 2007, we entered into an amendment to our existing revolving credit facility. The amendment to the revolving credit facility provides for, among other things: the extension of the maturity date from December 2009 to December 2010; changes in applicable commitment fees and interest rates in connection with average leverage ratios; a reduction of the lenders' revolving credit commitment from $210 million to $200 million; a change in the total leverage ratio from the ratio "3:0 to 1:0" to the ratio "2:50 to 1:0"; and a "clean down" provision requirement that the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding borrowings may not exceed $30 million for 15 consecutive days during the period from December 1 through January 31.

        At June 30, 2008, and 2007, we had $8.5 million and $56.5 million, respectively, outstanding under the revolving credit facility, with $26.5 million at June 30, 2007 classified as short-term due to the clean down provisions under the revolving credit agreement. We had borrowing availability of $181.6 million and $134.6 million at June 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively. As of June 30, 2008, and 2007, we had outstanding letters of credit of $9.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively. Letters of credit under the revolving credit facility are primarily for self-insurance purposes.

        The revolving credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants, which among other things, require us to comply with certain financial ratios covering maximum leverage, minimum fixed charge coverage and minimum interest coverage. Other restrictions affect our ability to incur liens or make certain other restricted payments, sell assets or merge or consolidate with any other person. As of June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants.

        We anticipate that our net cash flows from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, and interest payments for the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2008.

Contractual Obligations

        The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at June 30, 2008 and the effects such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods (in thousands):

 
  Payments Due by Period  
Contractual Obligations
  Total   1 Year   2-3 Years   4-5 Years   > 5 Years  

Non-cancelable operating leases

  $ 190,541   $ 60,492   $ 85,826   $ 37,693   $ 6,530  

Revolving credit facility

    8,500         8,500          

Interest on revolving credit facility

    1,046     523     523          

Leased maintenance, insurance and taxes

    12,950     4,111     5,833     2,562     444  

        We do not consider merchandise purchase orders to be contractual obligations due to designated cancellation dates on the face of the purchase order. Contractually required payments for maintenance, insurance and taxes on our leased properties are estimated above as a percentage of rent based on historical trends. These amounts can vary based on multiple factors including inflation, macroeconomic conditions, various local tax rates and appraised values of our rental properties. Interest paid on our revolving credit facility is calculated at a 6.15% rate, which is the rate management utilized for 2009 planning purposes, and will vary as additional borrowings are made or paid off early and will also

31



fluctuate with changes in applicable interest rates. We have no capital lease obligations at June 30, 2008.

Quarterly Results and Seasonality

        The following tables set forth some of our quarterly financial data for the ten quarters ended June 30, 2008. The quarterly information is unaudited but has been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. We believe that all necessary adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) have been included to present fairly the unaudited quarterly results when read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The results of operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period. (In thousands, except for per share data and comparable store sales.)

        Our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate based upon such factors as the number and timing of store openings, the amount of net sales contributed by new and existing stores, the mix of merchandise sold, pricing, store closings or relocations, competitive factors and general economic and weather-related conditions. The timing of sales events could impact the weighting of sales between quarters. We expect to continue to experience seasonal fluctuations in our business, with a significant

32



percentage of our net sales and operating income being generated in the December quarter, which includes the holiday selling season.

Inflation

        Inflation has had some effect on our results of operations in the current year primarily in transportation, utilities and waste management costs. However, in our opinion, the overall effect of inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations. We cannot assure that inflation will not materially affect us in the future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measures." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards, except for measurements of share-based payments and measurements that are similar to, but not intended to be, fair value and does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the recurring fair value measures for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the non recurring fair value measures for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

        In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The interpretation applies to all tax positions accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 and requires a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken, in an income tax return. Subsequent recognition, derecognition, and measurement is based on management's best judgment given the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of this adoption, the Company recognized a $145,000 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a decrease to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities." This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. If the fair value option is elected, unrealized gains and losses will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

        In June of 2008, the FASB issued a Staff Position on EITF 03-6-1 "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities." The FSP addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of FASB Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share." The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. Based on our market risk sensitive instruments outstanding as of June 30, 2008, as described below, we have determined that there was no material market risk exposure to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of such date. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

         Foreign Currency Exchange Rates.    We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with major financial institutions to manage and reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on contractual merchandise purchases with certain international vendors. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the only transactions we hedged were for inventory purchase orders placed with foreign vendors for which the purchase order had to be settled in the vendor's foreign currency. The periods for the forward foreign exchange contracts correspond to the periods of the hedged transactions. Gains and losses on forward foreign exchange contracts are reflected in the statement of income and were immaterial to us as a whole in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2008, we had outstanding forward foreign currency contracts to purchase approximately $424,000 of U.S. dollar equivalent Euros with maturities ranging between 53 and 123 days.

        The estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts represents the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices. At June 30, 2008, the difference between the fair value of all outstanding contracts and the face amount of such contracts was immaterial. A large fluctuation in exchange rates for these currencies could have a material affect on their fair value; however, because we only use these forward foreign currency contracts to hedge future inventory purchases at a fixed price in the vendor's foreign currency at the time the purchase order is made, any fluctuations in the exchange rate should not materially affect us.

        The table below provides information about our forward foreign currency contracts at June 30, 2008 that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates and presents such information in U.S. dollar equivalents because that is our reporting currency. All the related contracts mature in 2008.

        You can find more information about the accounting policies for our forward foreign currency contracts and our financial instruments in Notes 1 and 10 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

         Interest Rates.    We had outstanding debt in the amount of $8.5 million and $56.5 million at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We had no outstanding debt at December 31, 2006 and 2005. We use our revolving credit facility to fund our operations as needed. We are exposed to financial market risk due to fluctuating interest rates on our revolving line of credit. For example, if a 0.5% increase in rate had occurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, this increase would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.3 million. Any borrowing under our revolver will incur interest at LIBOR or the prime rate depending on the term of the borrowing plus an applicable margin. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the LIBOR rate varied from 3.61% and 3.39% while the prime rate was 5.0%. During the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005,

34



the LIBOR and prime rates varied from 4.83% to 5.44% and 7.25% to 8.25%, respectively. We incur commitment fees of up to 0.25% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. This rate is reduced or increased as our leverage ratio changes. We do not hold any derivatives related to interest rate exposure for any of our debt facilities. Our weighted average interest rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was 6.22%. You can find more information about our debt in Note 4 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Item 9.    Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Control Procedures

        Based on our management's evaluation (with participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer), our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) were effective as of June 30, 2008 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this Report on Form 10-K was (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission's rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met and, as set forth above, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        Management of Tuesday Morning is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Tuesday Morning's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

        Our management (with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer) assessed the effectiveness of Tuesday Morning's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of June 30, 2008, Tuesday Morning's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

        The Company's independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. That report follows on the next page.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Tuesday Morning Corporation

        We have audited Tuesday Morning Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Tuesday Morning Corporation's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        In our opinion, Tuesday Morning Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on the COSO criteria.

        We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Tuesday Morning Corporation as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the six months ended June 30, 2007, and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, of Tuesday Morning Corporation and our report dated August 26, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Tuesday Morning Corporation

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tuesday Morning Corporation as of June 30, 2008, and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2008, the six months ended June 30, 2007, and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Tuesday Morning Corporation at June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2008, the six months ended June 30, 2007, and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

        As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, on January 1, 2006 the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation.

        We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Tuesday Morning Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 26, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We operate our business as a single operating segment.

        (c)   Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of credit card receivables and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, credit card receivables from third party consumer credit card providers were $5.6 million and $7.1 million, respectively.

        (c)   Inventories—Inventories, consisting of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method for store inventory and the specific identification method for warehouse inventory. Amounts are removed from inventory based on the retail inventory method which applies a cost-to-retail ratio to our various retail deductions (sales, markdowns, shrink, etc.) to arrive at cost of sales. Buying, distribution, freight costs and certain other expenses are capitalized as part of inventory and are expensed as cost of sales as the related inventory is sold. These capitalized expenses included in ending inventory totaled $26.8 million and $28.6 million at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We expensed $71.5 million, $32.4 million, $69.3 million, and $66.8 million of capitalized

inventory costs in cost of sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the six months ended June 30, 2007, and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

        We conduct semi-annual physical inventories to measure quantities on-hand and make appropriate adjustments to our financial statements. During periods for which physical observations do not occur, we utilize an estimate for recording shrinkage reserves, based on past historical trends of physical inventory results. These shrinkage reserves may require a favorable or unfavorable adjustment to actual results to the extent our subsequent actual physical inventories yield a different result. We use markdowns to promote the effective and timely sale of merchandise. Temporary markdowns are for a designated period of time with markdowns recorded based on quantities sold during the period. Permanent markdowns vary in timing throughout the year, but are charged to cost of sales immediately based on total quantities on-hand in the stores. We review all inventory at the end of each quarterly period to ensure all necessary price actions are taken to adequately value our inventory at the lower of cost or market. These actions which involve actual or planned permanent markdowns are considered by management to be the appropriate prices to stimulate demand for the merchandise. Actual required permanent markdowns could differ materially from management's initial estimates based on future customer demand or economic conditions.

        (e)   Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are stated at cost. Buildings, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Estimated Useful Lives

Buildings

  30 years

Furniture and fixtures

  3 to 7 years

Leasehold improvements

  Shorter of lease life or life of improvement

Equipment

 
5 to 10 years

        Upon sale or retirement of an asset, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in income. Expenditures for maintenance, minor renewals and repairs are expensed as incurred, while major replacements and improvements are capitalized.

        (f)    Deferred Financing Costs—Deferred financing costs represent fees paid in connection with obtaining bank and other long-term financing. These fees are amortized over the term of the related financing using the effective interest method.

        (g)   Income Taxes—Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of

enactment. We file our annual federal income tax return on a consolidated basis. Furthermore, we recognize uncertain tax positions when we have determined it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. However, new information may become available or applicable laws or regulations may change thereby resulting in a favorable or unfavorable adjustment to amounts recorded.

        (h)   Self Insurance Reserves—We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance plans to provide for the potential liabilities for workers' compensation, general liability, property insurance, director and officers' liability insurance, vehicle liability and employee health care benefits. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by us are estimated, in part, by historical claims experience, severity factors and the use of loss development factors. Our estimated reserves may be materially different from our future actual claim costs, and, in the future, if we conclude an adjustment to our reserves is required, the liability will then be adjusted accordingly in the period that determination is made.

        (i)    Revenue Recognition—Sales are recorded at the point of sale and conveyance of merchandise to customers. Sales are net of estimated returns and exclude sales tax.

        (j)    Advertising—Costs for television, radio, newspaper, direct mail and other media are expensed as the advertised events take place. Advertising expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 were $33,856 and were $15,881 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $36,134 and, $34,371, respectively. We do not receive money from vendors to support our advertising expenditures.

        (k)   Use of Estimates—The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        (l)    Foreign Currency Transactions—We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with major financial institutions to manage and reduce the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on certain contractual merchandise purchases with international vendors between the order and payment dates, which generally approximate 2 to 6 months. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

        We account for our foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Changes in the fair value of the contracts that are considered to be effective are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recorded in earnings. Effective cash flow hedges are reclassified out of other comprehensive income (loss) and into cost of sales when the hedged inventory is sold. All of our cash flow hedges are effective. The effect of foreign exchange contracts on our financial position or results of operations is immaterial.

        (m)  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of—Long-lived assets, principally property and equipment and leasehold improvements, are reviewed for impairment when

circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Impairment of long-lived assets has not had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity for the periods presented.

        (n)   Share-Based Compensation—Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for our stock-based compensation plans utilizing the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25). Generally, no compensation expense was recognized for fixed stock option plans because the exercise prices of employee stock options equaled or exceeded the market prices of the underlying stock on the dates of grant.

        Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: (1) a "modified prospective" method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date; (2) a "modified retrospective" method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. We have adopted Statement 123(R) based on the modified prospective method effective January 1, 2006.

        Had we applied the fair value based method and recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure") previously reported net income, basic earnings per share and diluted

Amounts charged against income for the period before tax

  $ 3,174   $ 2,014   $ 4,029  
               

        Consistent with prior years, the fair value of each stock option granted during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected term of an option is based on our historical review of employee exercise behavior based on the employee class (executive or non-executive) and based on our consideration of the remaining contractual term if limited exercise activity existed for a certain employee class. The risk-free interest rate is the constant maturity risk free interest rate for U.S. Treasury instruments with terms consistent with the expected lives of the awards. The expected volatility is based on both the historical volatility of our stock based on our historical stock prices and implied volatility of our traded stock options. In 2006, we increased the number of data points used to calculate volatility from quarterly stock prices to daily stock prices and considered implied volatility of our traded stock options which decreased our

    0.0 %   5.0 %   2.5 %   2.0 %

        (o)   Net Income Per Common Share—Basic net income per common share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the six months ended June 30, 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and, 2005 was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted net income per common share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the six months ended June 30, 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and, 2005 was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares including the impact of dilutive common stock options outstanding. See Notes 7 and 12.

        (p)   Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measures." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards, except for measurements of share-based payments and measurements that are similar to, but not intended to be fair value and does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for recurring fair value measures for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for non recurring fair value measures for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

        In June of 2008, the FASB issued a Staff Position on EITF 03-6-1 "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities." The FSP addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of FASB Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share." The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities." This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. If the fair value option is elected, unrealized gains and losses will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years

beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN-48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The interpretation applies to all tax positions accounted for in accordance with Statement 109 and requires a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken, in an income tax return. Subsequent recognition, derecognition, and measurement is based on management's best judgment given the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of this adoption, the Company recognized a $145,000 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a decrease to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.

        (q)   Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Comprehensive income (loss) represents our change in equity (net assets), during a period, from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments or distributions by or to owners. The components of comprehensive income (loss) are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity.

        (r)   Off-balance Sheet or Variable Interest Arrangements—We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions with unconsolidated, limited purpose or variable interest entities, nor do we have material transactions or commitments involving related persons or entities.

(2) LEASE ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENT

        Based on certain views expressed in a letter of February 7, 2005 from the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, we reviewed our accounting policies and practices associated with operating leases. Consistent with industry practices, we historically reported straight-line rental expense beginning on the lease commencement date. This had the effect of excluding the rent holiday associated with the pre-opening or build-out period of our stores from the calculation of the period over which we expensed rent. Following our review, we modified our accounting policies such that we begin recording rent expense on the date we take possession of or have the right to use the premises.

        As a result of this adjustment, we recorded a one-time, non-cash, $3.9 million ($2.4 million, net of income tax) cumulative charge to earnings during the first quarter of calendar year 2005. The adjustment did not impact historical or future net cash flows or the timing of the payments under related leases. Prior years' financial statements were not restated as the impact of this issue was immaterial to previously reported results for any individual previous periods.

(4) DEBT

        In December 2004, we entered into a $210 million revolving credit facility which was set to expire on December 2009. Any borrowing under the revolver incurs interest at LIBOR or the prime rate, depending on the term of the borrowing, plus an applicable margin. We incur commitment fees of up to 0.25% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. This rate is reduced or increased as our average total leverage ratio changes. Our indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by a lien on our inventory and cash accounts, as well as a pledge of our ownership interests in all of our subsidiaries. On April 18, 2007, we entered into an amendment to our existing revolving credit facility. The amendment to the revolving credit facility provides for, among other things: the extension of the maturity date from December 2009 to December 2010; changes in applicable commitment fees and interest rates in connection with average leverage ratios; a reduction of the lenders' revolving credit commitment from $210 million to $200 million; a change in the total leverage ratio from the ratio "3:0 to 1:0" to the ratio "2:50 to 1:0"; and a "clean down" provision requirement that for 15 consecutive days during the period from December 1 through January 31,the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding borrowings may not exceed $30 million.

        At June 30, 2008, we had $8.5 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, with no amounts classified as short term. The amounts payable will be $0.0 million and $8.5 million at June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. No amounts will be due thereafter. At June 30, 2007, we had $56.5 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, with $26.5 million classified as short-term due to the clean down provision under the revolving credit agreement. We had no balances outstanding related to our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2006 and 2005. We had borrowing availability of $181.6 million at June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, we had outstanding letters of credit of $9.9 million. Our weighted average interest rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was 6.22%. As of June 30, 2007, we had outstanding letters of credit of $8.9 million. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had outstanding letters of credit of $8.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively. Letters of credit under the revolving credit facility are primarily for self-insurance purposes.

        The revolving credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants, which among other things, require us to comply with certain financial ratios covering maximum leverage, minimum fixed charge

coverage and minimum interest coverage. Other restrictions affect our ability to incur liens or make certain other restricted payments, sell assets or merge or consolidate with any other person. As of June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants.

        We believe our debt, as recorded, approximates fair value as the interest rates are variable based on current market rates.

        We expect the deferred tax assets at June 30, 2008 to be fully recovered and the deferred tax liabilities at June 30, 2008 to be fully satisfied through the reversal of taxable temporary differences in future years as a result of normal business activities. Accordingly, no valuation allowances for deferred tax items were considered necessary as of June 30, 2008.

        Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 1999. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has concluded an examination of the Company for years ending before 2005.

        In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"), to create a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

(6) INCOME TAXES (Continued)

        We adopted the provisions of FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized $145 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a decrease to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Balance at January 1, 2007

  $ 1,148  

Additions for tax positions of prior years

    27  

Settlements

    (99 )
       

Balance at June 30, 2007

  $ 1,076  

Additions based on tax positions related to current year

    57  

Additions for tax positions of prior years

    11  

Reductions for tax positions of prior years

    (53 )
       

Balance at June 30, 2008

  $ 1,091  
       

        The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalty accruals) as of June 30, 2008 is $1,583. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits is included in the balance sheet under Income Taxes Payable. Included in the balance at June 30, 2008 is $1,091 of tax positions that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Also, included in the balance at June 30, 2008 are $492 of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of the deductibility. Because of the impact of the deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.

        The Company classifies and recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the tax year ended June 30, 2008, the six month tax period ended June 30, 2007, and the tax years ended December 31, 2006, and 2005, we recognized, net of tax effect, $60, $45, $141, and $138 in interest, respectively. We paid, net of tax, $86 during the six months ended June 30, 2007, and $112 during the year ended December 31, 2006. No interest was paid in the years ended June 30, 2008, or December 31, 2005.

        We do not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease the effective tax rate within 12 months of June 30, 2008.

(7) STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS

        We have established a 1997 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "1997 Plan"), and a 2004 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2004 Plan"), which allow us to grant stock options and restricted stock to directors, officers and key employees of, and certain other key individuals who perform services for us and our subsidiaries. The 1997 Plan and 2004 Plan authorizes grants of options to purchase up to 4,800,000 and 2,000,000 shares, respectively, of authorized, but unissued common stock. Stock options are awarded at fair market value equal to the average of the high and low trading price of our common stock on the date of grant.

        Options granted under the 1997 Plan and 2004 Plan typically vest over periods of four to five years and expire in ten years. The exercise prices of the options range between $4.92 and $35.23, which

represents market value on the grant date of the shares of common stock into which such options are exercisable. At December 31, 2007, all shares available under the 1997 Plan had been granted and the 1997 Plan expired as of December 29, 2007. There were 1,466,431 shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan at June 30, 2008.

        Following is a summary of transactions relating to the 1997 Plan and 2004 Plan's options for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the six month period ended June 30, 2007 and for the two years ended December 31, 2006, and 2005:

        Restricted Stock Awards—Under the terms of the 1997 Plan and the 2004 Plan we may also grant restricted stock to compensate certain directors, officers, key employees and certain other key individuals who perform services for us and our subsidiaries. Restricted stock awards are not transferable, but bear rights of ownership including voting and dividend rights. Shares are valued at the market price at the date of award. At December 31, 2007, all shares under the 1997 Plan had been granted and the 1997 Plan expired as of December 29, 2007. As of June 30, 2008, there were 375,820 shares of restricted stock outstanding with a weighted average fair value of $5.00 per share under the 2004 plan. Compensation expense related to restricted shares is recognized ratably over the requisite service period. This expense totaled $433 thousand for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, and $49 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008, we had $1.3 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards that is expected to

(8) OPERATING LEASES

        We lease substantially all store locations under non-cancelable operating leases. Our leases generally are for a five year period with two five year renewal options and, in very limited circumstances, our leases involve a tenant allowance for leasehold improvements. As disclosed in Note 2, we record rent expense ratably over the life of the lease beginning with the date we take possession of or have the right to use the premises, and if our leases provide for a tenant allowance, we record the landlord reimbursement as a liability and ratably amortize the liability as a reduction to rent expense over the lease term beginning with the date we take possession of or control the physical access to the premises. Leases for new stores also typically allow us the ability to terminate a lease after 24 to 36 months if the store does not achieve sales expectations or another location appears more desirable. Future minimum rental payments under leases are as follows:

Rent expense includes rent for store locations and warehouses. Rent based on sales is not material to our financial statements.

(9) 401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN AND STOCK PURCHASE PROGRAM

        We have a 401(k) profit sharing plan for the benefit of our full-time, eligible employees after six months of service. Under the plan, eligible employees may request us to deduct and contribute from 1% to 20% of their salary to the plan. Subject to Internal Revenue Service Regulations, we match each participant's contribution up to 4% of participant's compensation. We expensed contributions of $930 thousand for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and $466 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2007. We expensed contributions of $872 thousand and $801 thousand during the years ended December 31, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

        Prior to December 31, 2007, we offered participation in a stock purchase program for full time employees after completion of 90 days of continuous employment. This stock purchase plan was terminated effective December 31, 2007. We expensed our contributions as incurred. The contributions were immaterial for all reported years.

(10) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        We had various forward foreign currency contracts outstanding at June 30, 2008, and 2007, and December 31, 2006, with fair values of $418, $40, and $13, respectively. Our risk that counterparties to these contracts may be unable to perform is minimized by limiting the counterparties to major financial institutions. The fair value of our forward foreign currency contracts were determined based on quoted market prices of comparable contracts.

(11) LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        During 2001 and 2002, we were named as a defendant in three complaints filed in the Superior Court of California in and for the County of Los Angeles. The plaintiffs sought to certify a statewide class made up of some of our current and former employees, which they claim are owed compensation for overtime wages, penalties and interest. The plaintiffs also sought attorney's fees and costs. In October 2003, we entered into a settlement agreement with a sub-class of these plaintiffs consisting of manager-in-training and management trainees which was paid in November 2005 with no material impact to our financial statements. In August 2008, our motion for de-certification of the class of remaining plaintiffs was granted, thereby dismissing their class action claim. However, we expect the plaintiffs to appeal this ruling and some may pursue their claims individually. A similar lawsuit, which also alleges claims concerning meal and rest periods, was filed in Orange County, California in 2004 by managers, managers-in-training and assistant managers and an amended complaint was filed in January 2007. This case is still in the discovery phase and the plaintiffs have been ordered to move for class certification. We do not expect these complaints to have a material impact on our financial statements.

        We intend to vigorously defend all pending actions. We do not believe these or any other legal proceedings pending or threatened against us would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

These shares were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because the assumed exercise of such options would have been anti-dilutive.
