NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

PetMed Express, Inc. and subsidiaries, d/b/a 1-800-PetMeds (the “Company”), is a leading nationwide pet pharmacy. The Company markets prescription and non-prescription pet medications, health products, and supplies for dogs and cats, direct to the consumer. The Company offers consumers an attractive alternative for obtaining pet medications in terms of convenience, price, and speed of delivery. The Company markets its products through national television, online, and direct mail/print advertising campaigns, which aim to increase the recognition of the “1-800-PetMeds” brand name, and “PetMeds” family of trademarks, increase traffic on its website at www.1800petmeds.com, acquire new customers, and maximize repeat purchases. The majority of the Company’s sales are to residents in the United States. The Company’s executive offices are located in Pompano Beach, Florida. The Company’s fiscal year end is March 31, and references herein to Fiscal 2014 or Fiscal 2013 refer to the Company’s fiscal years ending March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2013, the Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and Cash Flows for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PetMed Express, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 2: Net Income Per Share

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260 (“Earnings Per Share”) basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share includes the dilutive effect of potential restricted stock and the effects of the potential conversion of preferred shares, calculated using the treasury stock method. Unvested restricted stock and convertible preferred shares issued by the Company represent the only dilutive effect reflected in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the periods presented (in thousands, except for per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012

Net income (numerator):

Net income	$	4,755	$	3,952

Shares (denominator):

Weighted average number of common shares
outstanding used in basic computation		19,848		20,119
Common shares issuable upon vesting of
restricted stock		146		116
Common shares issuable upon conversion
of preferred shares		10		10
Shares used in diluted computation		20,004		20,245

Net income per common share:

Basic	$	0.24	$	0.20
Diluted	$	0.24	$	0.20

At June 30, 2013 and 2012, all common restricted stock were included in the diluted net income per common share computation.

Note 3: Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records compensation expense associated with restricted stock in accordance with ASC Topic 718 (“Share Based Payment”). The Company adopted the modified prospective transition method provided under ASC Topic 718. The compensation expense related to all of the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses.

The Company had 680,127 restricted common shares issued under the 2006 Employee Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (“Employee Plan”) and 182,000 restricted common shares issued under the 2006 Outside Director Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (“Director Plan”) at June 30, 2013, all shares of which were issued subject to a restriction or forfeiture period which lapse ratably on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant, and the fair value of which is being amortized over the three-year restriction period. The Company did not issue any shares of restricted stock during the quarter. For the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $362,000 and $554,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the Employee Plan and Director Plan. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, there was $2.2 million and $1.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted stock awards, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over the next three years.

Note 4: Short Term Investments

The Company’s short term investment balance consists of short term bond mutual funds. In accordance with ASC Topic 320 (“Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”), short term investments are accounted for as available for sale securities with any changes in fair value to be reflected in other comprehensive income. The Company had a short term investments balance of $15.5 million as of both June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013.

Note 5: Fair Value

The Company carries various assets and liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company’s cash equivalents and short term investments are classified within Level 1. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are summarized below:


			Fair Value Measurement at June 30, 2013 Using
			Quoted Prices		Significant
			in Active		Other		Significant
			Markets for		Observable		Unobservable
	June 30,		Identical Assets		Inputs		Inputs

Short term investments -
bond mutual funds		15,465		15,465		-		-
	$	50,463	$	50,463	$	-	$	-

Note 6: Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has settled complaints that had been filed with various states’ pharmacy boards in the past. There can be no assurances made that other states will not attempt to take similar actions against the Company in the future. The Company initiates litigation to protect its trade or service marks. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in protecting its trade or service marks. Legal costs related to the above matters are expensed as incurred.

Note 7: Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income:

Changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended June 30, 2013 is summarized below (in thousands):

No shares of treasury stock were purchased or retired in the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Note 8: Income Taxes

For the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded an income tax provision for approximately $2.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were 37.0% and 36.9%, respectively.

Note 9: Subsequent Events

On July 26, 2013, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of approximately 83,000 restricted shares to certain employees and the outside directors of the Company. All shares that were issued are subject to a restriction or forfeiture period which will lapse ratably on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant, and the fair value will be amortized over the three-year restriction period.

On July 26, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share. The Board established an August 12, 2013 record date and an August 23, 2013 payment date. Based on the outstanding share balance as of July 29, 2013 the Company estimates the dividend payable to be approximately $3.4 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Executive Summary

PetMed Express was incorporated in the state of Florida in January 1996. The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “PETS.” The Company began selling pet medications and other pet health products in September 1996. In March 2010 the Company started offering for sale additional pet supplies on its website, and these items are drop shipped to customers by third party vendors. Presently, the Company’s product line includes approximately 3,000 of the most popular pet medications, health products, and supplies for dogs and cats.

The Company markets its products through national television, online, and direct mail/print advertising campaigns which aim to increase the recognition of the “1-800-PetMeds” brand name, and “PetMeds” family of trademarks, increase traffic on its website at www.1800petmeds.com, acquire new customers, and maximize repeat purchases. Approximately 79% of all sales were generated via the Internet for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 77% for the quarter ending June 30, 2012. The Company’s sales consist of products sold mainly to retail consumers. The three-month average purchase was approximately $77 and $73 per order for the quarters ended on June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of our operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements and the data used to prepare them. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On an ongoing basis we re-evaluate our judgments and estimates including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, long term investments, and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and our beliefs of what could occur in the future considering available information. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our estimates are guided by observing the following critical accounting policies.

Revenue recognition

The Company generates revenue by selling pet medications and pet supplies primarily to retail consumers. The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue from product sales upon shipment, when the rights of ownership and risk of loss have passed to the customer. Outbound shipping and handling fees are included in sales and are billed upon shipment. Shipping expenses are included in cost of sales. The majority of the Company’s sales are paid by credit cards and the Company usually receives the cash settlement in two to three banking days. Credit card sales minimize accounts receivable balances relative to sales. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for losses that the Company estimates will arise from customers’ inability to make required payments, arising from either credit card charge-backs or insufficient funds checks. The Company determines its estimates of the uncollectibility of accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts and current economic trends. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $9,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to $5,000 for the year ended March 31, 2013.

Valuation of inventory

Inventories consist of prescription and non-prescription pet medications and pet supplies that are available for sale and are priced at the lower of cost or market value using a weighted average cost method. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence. The inventory reserve was approximately $54,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to $79,000 for the year ended March 31, 2013.

Advertising

The Company’s advertising expense consists primarily of television advertising, Internet marketing, and direct mail/print advertising. Television advertising costs are expensed as the advertisements are televised. Internet costs are expensed in the month incurred and direct mail/print advertising costs are expensed when the related catalogs, brochures, and postcards are produced, distributed, or superseded.

Accounting for income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 (“Accounting for Income Taxes”), which generally requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting carrying values and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse.

Results of Operations

The following should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere herein. The following table sets forth, as a percentage of sales, certain operating data appearing in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income:


	Three Months Ended

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared With Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Sales

Sales increased by approximately $5.2 million, or 7.6%, to approximately $74.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, from approximately $69.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The increase in sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to increased new order and reorder sales. The increase in new order sales may be attributed to increased advertising expenses, with flat acquisition costs. Our sales increase was also due to a rise in the average order size, which may be attributed to a favorable reaction to promotions during the period. The Company acquired approximately 207,000 new customers for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately 197,000 new customers for the same period the prior year. The following chart illustrates sales by various sales classifications:


Three Months Ended June 30,
Sales (In thousands)	2013		%			2012		%			$ Variance			% Variance

Reorder Sales	$	58,970		79.5	%	$	55,061		79.9	%	$	3,909			7.1	%

Total Net Sales	$	74,194		100.0	%	$	68,955		100.0	%	$	5,239			7.6	%

Sales may be adversely affected in Fiscal 2014 due to increased competition and consumers giving more consideration to price. No guarantees can be made that sales will grow in the future. The majority of our product sales are affected by the seasons, due to the seasonality of mainly heartworm, and flea and tick medications. For the quarters ended June 30, September 30, December 31, and March 31 of Fiscal 2013, the Company’s sales were approximately 30%, 26%, 22%, and 22%, respectively.

In January 2012, the manufacturer Novartis Consumer Health, Inc. (“Novartis”) announced that it halted production of their animal health products. This disruption in production negatively impacted the Company’s sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, Novartis started to distribute some of their brands, which might have positively impacted the current quarter.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales increased by approximately $3.5 million, or 7.6%, to approximately $50.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, from approximately $46.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The increase in cost of sales is directly related to the increase in sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. As a percent of sales, the cost of sales was 67.6% for both of the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased by approximately $1.7 million, or 7.7%, to approximately $24.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, from approximately $22.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The increase in gross profit is directly related to the increase in sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 32.4% for both of the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $49,000, or 0.8%, to approximately $5.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, from approximately $5.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to the following: a $160,000 decrease in payroll expenses primarily related to a reduction in stock based compensation; and a $38,000 decrease in other expenses, including office expenses and professional fees. Offsetting the decrease was a $107,000 increase in bank service fees, and a $42,000 increase in other expenses, including bad debt expenses, license fees, and travel related expenses.

Advertising expenses

Advertising expenses increased by approximately $545,000, or 5.5%, to approximately $10.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, from approximately $9.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The increase in advertising expenses for the quarter can be mainly attributed to increased television advertising spending. The advertising costs of acquiring a new customer, defined as total advertising costs divided by new customers acquired, was $50 for both of the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Advertising cost of acquiring a new customer can be impacted by the advertising environment, the effectiveness of our advertising creative, increased advertising spending, and price competition. Historically, the advertising environment fluctuates due to supply and demand. A more favorable advertising environment may positively impact future new order sales, whereas a less favorable advertising environment may negatively impact future new order sales.

As a percentage of sales, advertising expense was 14.0% and 14.3% for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in advertising expense as a percentage of total sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 can be attributed to increased sales. The Company currently anticipates advertising as a percentage of sales to be approximately 13% for Fiscal 2014. However, the advertising percentage will fluctuate quarter to quarter due to seasonality and advertising availability. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, quarterly advertising expenses as a percentage of sales ranged between 9% and 14%.

Depreciation

Depreciation expenses decreased by approximately $80,000, or 24.4%, to approximately $248,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, from approximately $328,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. This decrease to depreciation expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 can be attributed to a reduction in new property and equipment additions, and an increase in fully depreciated fixed assets.

Other income

Other income decreased by approximately $14,000, or 23.7%, to approximately $45,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from approximately $59,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The decrease to other income can be primarily attributed to decreased interest income. Interest income may decrease in the future as the Company utilizes its cash balances on its share repurchase plan, with approximately $10.2 million remaining as of June 30, 2013, on any quarterly dividend payment, or on its operating activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s working capital at June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 was $63.5 million and $61.2 million, respectively. The $2.3 million increase in working capital was primarily attributable to cash flow generated from operations, offset by dividends paid. Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.8 million and $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This change can be attributed to a greater increase in the Company’s accounts payable balance and a greater decrease in the Company’s inventory balance, compared to the same period in the prior year. Net cash used in investing activities was $25,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $233,000 used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This change can be attributed to a reduction in purchases of property and equipment during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Net cash used in financing activities was $3.0 million for both of the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, which represented the dividend paid in the quarters. As of June 30, 2013 the Company had approximately $10.2 million remaining under the Company’s share repurchase plan. On July 26, 2013 our Board of Directors declared a $0.17 per share dividend. The Board established an August 12, 2013 record date and an August 23, 2013 payment date. Depending on future market conditions the Company may utilize its cash and cash equivalents on the remaining balance of its current share repurchase plan, on quarterly dividends, or on its operating activities.

As of June 30, 2013 the Company had no outstanding lease commitments except for the lease for its 65,300 square foot facility. We are not currently bound by any long or short term agreements for the purchase or lease of capital expenditures. Any amounts expended for capital expenditures would be the result of an increase in the capacity needed to adequately provide for any increase in our business. To date we have paid for any needed additions to our capital equipment infrastructure from working capital funds and anticipate this being the case in the future. Presently, we have approximately $1.5 million forecasted for capital expenditures for the remainder of Fiscal 2014, which will be funded through cash from operations. The Company’s primary source of working capital is cash from operations. The Company presently has no need for alternative sources of working capital, and has no commitments or plans to obtain additional capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2013.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the value of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The book values of cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Interest rates affect our return on excess cash and investments. As of June 30, 2013, we had $35.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $15.5 million in short term investments. A majority of our cash and cash equivalents and investments generate interest income based on prevailing interest rates.

A significant change in interest rates would impact the amount of interest income generated from our excess cash and investments. It would also impact the market value of our short term investments. Our investments are subject to market risk, primarily interest rate and credit risk. Our investments are managed by a limited number of outside professional managers within investment guidelines set by our Board of Directors. Such guidelines include security type, credit quality, and maturity, and are intended to limit market risk by restricting our investments to high-quality debt instruments with both short and long term maturities. We do not hold any derivative financial instruments that could expose us to significant market risk. At June 30, 2013, we had no debt obligations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective such that the information relating to our Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act: (1) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have been no significant changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report.
