FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
1. Nature of Company; Expiration of Agreement with Kmart; and Plan of Liquidation
Background
Footstar, Inc. (Footstar, the Company, we, us, or our) is a holding company that operates
its businesses through its subsidiaries which principally operate as a retailer selling family
footwear through licensed footwear departments in Kmart stores. These operations comprise
substantially all of our sales and profits. We operated the footwear departments in 1,383 Kmart
stores as of June 28, 2008.
Commencing March 2, 2004, Footstar and most of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (Bankruptcy Code or
Chapter 11) in the United States Bankruptcy Court (Court).
On February 7, 2006, we successfully emerged from bankruptcy and paid substantially all our
creditors in full with interest. Pursuant to the guidance provided by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7), the Company has not adopted fresh-start
reporting because there was no change to the holders of existing voting shares and the
reorganization value of the Companys assets was greater than its post petition liabilities and
allowed claims.
Expected Liquidation of the Companys Business.
As part of its emergence from bankruptcy in February 2006, substantially all of the Companys
business operations were related to the agreement pursuant to which we operate the licensed
footwear departments in Kmart stores (the Kmart Agreement). The Kmart Agreement is scheduled to
expire by its terms at the end of 2008 (subject to any earlier termination by mutual agreement of
Kmart and Footstar or, in certain particular circumstances provided for in the Kmart Agreement,
unilaterally by a party pursuant to the existing early termination or default terms of the Kmart
Agreement). At the end of such term, the Kmart Agreement provides for the purchase by Kmart of the
remaining inventory in the Kmart footwear departments.
Following its emergence from bankruptcy, the Companys Board of Directors, with the assistance of
investment bankers, evaluated a number of possible alternatives to enhance stockholder value,
including acquisition opportunities, changes in the terms of the Companys principal contracts,
including the early termination of or extension of the Kmart Agreement, the payment of one or more
dividends, and the sale of our assets or stock. The Board of Directors determined the best course
of action was to operate under the Kmart Agreement through its scheduled expiration in December
2008, unless earlier terminated.
In 2008, Kmart and the Company entered into discussions with respect to the rights and
responsibilities of the respective parties on the termination of the Kmart Agreement as well as the
sale of certain intellectual property to Kmart. As a result of such discussions, on April 3, 2008,
the Company sold such intellectual property to Kmart affiliates for approximately $13.0 million,
and reached an agreement on how the value of the inventory would be determined when sold to Kmart
upon termination of the Kmart Agreement at the end of 2008 (see Master Agreement Amendment;
Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement in this section below).
7
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
In May 2008 the Board of Directors determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and
its stockholders to liquidate the Companys business and ultimately dissolve after the expiration
of the Kmart Agreement (and other miscellaneous contracts through the end of such term) and to sell
and/or dispose of any of the Companys other remaining assets. As a result, the Board of Directors
adopted a plan of liquidation, which provides for the complete liquidation of the Company by
providing for the sale of certain assets and the wind-down of the Companys business as described
in that plan and for distributions of available cash to stockholders as determined by the Board of
Directors. The Company contemplates submitting a plan of dissolution to the Companys stockholders
in 2009 after the expiration of the Kmart Agreement.
In connection with the anticipated liquidation, winddown and ultimate dissolution of the Company,
the Company will, when and as determined by the Board of Directors in its absolute discretion, pay,
or make adequate provision for payment of, all known and uncontroverted liabilities of the Company
(including indemnification obligations and expenses associated with the liquidation and dissolution
of the Company and the satisfaction in full of the obligations of the Company) and will set aside
from its cash-on-hand such additional amount as the Board of Directors in its absolute discretion
determines to be appropriate from time to time in connection with other, unascertained or
contingent, liabilities of the Company.
On March 27, 2007, the Company declared a pro rata special cash distribution of $5.00 per share to
its stockholders of record on April 13, 2007. In connection with the Boards adoption of the plan
of liquidation on May 9, 2008, the Board of Directors declared a pro rata special cash distribution
of $1.00 per share to its stockholders of record at the close of business on May 28, 2008.
In connection with the anticipated liquidation, wind-down and ultimate dissolution of the Company,
the Company from time to time may make further pro rata special cash distributions, as and when
determined by our Board of Directors in its absolute discretion with consent as required by our
lender in connection with our revolving credit facility. No final pro rata liquidating distribution
will be made until the Board submits a plan of dissolution to the Companys stockholders and such
plan is approved by the Companys stockholders.
Master Agreement Amendment; Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement
As discussed above, on April 3, 2008, the Company entered into (i) a Master Agreement Amendment
(the Master Agreement Amendment) with Kmart Corporation, certain affiliates of Kmart Corporation
(together with Kmart Corporation, Kmart) and Sears Holdings Corporation (Sears), which amends
the Kmart Agreement, and (ii) an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the IP Purchase
Agreement) with Sears and its subsidiary, Sears Brand LLC (Sears Brand).
Pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement Amendment, Kmart agreed to offer employment
(effective at December 31, 2008 in most cases) to substantially all of the Companys store managers
and district manager level employees and the Company agreed to make all other store employees
available to Kmart for interviewing.
The Master Agreement Amendment also sets forth provisions concerning Kmarts purchase of the
inventory at the termination of the Kmart Agreement and establishes procedures for determining the
8
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
book value of such inventory (and the additional consideration to be paid). The Master Agreement
Amendment provides, among other things, that Kmart will purchase the inventory in our Kmart
footwear departments (excluding inventory that is damaged or unsaleable) at book value, plus $1.35
million, less $0.95 million and less a shrink adjustment of $0.2 million.. Under the Master
Agreement Amendment, the Company also has the option to have Kmart purchase its seasonal inventory,
as defined, at 40% of book value, less $1 million. During the remaining term of the Kmart
Agreement, the Company is required to provide Kmart with certain information, including a business
analysis and category analysis report in the fall of 2008 and aged inventory reports on a monthly
basis beginning in August 2008.
Under the terms of the IP Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to Sears Brands substantially all of
the Companys intellectual property, including the intellectual property related to the Companys
Kmart business, for a purchase price of approximately $13.0 million. The Company has deferred the
realization of the gain until the expiration of the Kmart Agreement on December 31, 2008. The
purchase and sale was effective as of the signing of the IP Purchase Agreement and was not subject
to any closing conditions.
Under the IP Purchase Agreement, Sears Brands granted the Company a royalty-free, exclusive license
to use the intellectual property to operate the Companys Kmart business until the Kmart Agreement
is terminated and a royalty-free, non-exclusive license for a short period following the
termination of the Kmart Agreement to liquidate any remaining inventory, if applicable.
As set forth in the Kmart Agreement, Kmart collects proceeds from the sale of our inventory and
remits those sales proceeds to us on a weekly basis less any applicable fees outlined in the Kmart
Agreement. The Kmart Agreement provides that we pay Kmart 14.625% of the gross sales of the
footwear departments and a miscellaneous expense fee of $23,500 each year per open store. Such fees
were $29.9 million and $32.6 million for the three months ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007,
respectively, and $54.6 million and $59.5 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008 and June
30, 2007, respectively. As of June 28, 2008 and December 29, 2007, we had outstanding accounts
receivable due from Kmart of $7.8 million and $9.0 million respectively, which were subsequently
collected in July 2008 and January 2008, respectively.
We and Kmart each have the right to terminate the Kmart Agreement early if the gross sales of the
footwear departments are less than $550.0 million in any year based on the most recent four
consecutive fiscal quarters, provided that this gross sales minimum will be reduced by $0.4 million
for each store that is closed or converted after August 25, 2005. Fifty-six stores have been closed
or converted from August 25, 2005 through July 26, 2008. We also have the unilateral right to
terminate the Kmart Agreement if either (i) the number of Kmart stores is less than 900 or (ii) the
gross sales of the footwear departments in any four consecutive quarters are less than $450.0
million. Since August 2005, the gross sales of the footwear departments in any four consecutive
fiscal quarters have ranged from $581.7 million to $650.7 million. In the event of any such
termination, Kmart is obligated to purchase all of the inventory (including inventory that is on
order but excluding inventory that is damaged, unsaleable, and seasonal inventory, as defined) for
an amount equal to the book value of the inventory, as defined.
Pursuant to the Kmart Agreement, Kmart must pay us the stipulated loss value (as set forth below)
if it terminates our licenses to operate footwear departments in more than 451 Kmart stores during
the remaining term of the Kmart Agreement by disposing of, closing or converting those stores. As
9
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
of June 28, 2008, Kmart could dispose of, close or convert 451 additional stores during 2008
without paying us a stipulated loss value. For each store that is disposed of, closed or converted,
Kmart must purchase all of our in-store inventory (excluding inventory that is damaged, unsaleable
and seasonal inventory, as defined by the parties) at book value, as defined by the parties. In
addition, to the extent Kmart exceeds the 451 store aggregate limit, Kmart must pay us a
non-refundable stipulated loss value per store equal to $20,000. If the entire Kmart Agreement is
terminated in accordance with its terms, Kmart is not obligated to make any stipulated loss value
payments for such stores.
Kmart has a claim against us in the amount of $11,000 for each store that was an existing store on
August 25, 2005, which is generally payable by us to Kmart at the time a store is disposed of,
closed or converted to another retail format. However, upon the expiration of the Kmart Agreement
or upon early termination of that agreement other than as a result of our breach, all such claims
not yet due and payable will be waived for any remaining stores. If the Kmart Agreement is
terminated as a result of our breach, such claims for remaining stores will not be waived and will
become immediately due and payable.
The Kmart Agreement sets forth the parties obligations with respect to staffing and advertising.
Specifically, we must spend at least 10% of gross sales in the footwear departments on staffing
costs, as defined, for the stores and we must schedule the staffing in each store at a minimum of
40 hours per week. In addition, Kmart is required to allocate at least 52 weekend newspaper
advertising insert pages per year to our products.
2. Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein have been prepared in accordance
with the provisions of SOP 90-7. Pursuant to SOP 90-7, our pre-petition liabilities that were
subject to compromise are reported separately in the accompanying balance sheets as an estimate of
the amount that will ultimately be allowed by the Court.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present
fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The
financial information set forth herein should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 29,
2007 filed with the SEC.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 28, 2008 are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 3, 2009.

FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
As of June 28, 2008, the Companys significant accounting policies described in our Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended
December 29, 2007 relating to other intangible assets and postretirement benefits are no longer
applicable.
As discussed in Note 1 Nature of Company; Expiration of Agreement with Kmart; and Plan of
Liquidation the Company sold its intangible assets to Sears Brands effective April 3, 2008.
In connection with the previously announced anticipated wind-down of the Companys business at the
end of 2008, the Companys retiree medical and retiree life insurance plan was terminated for all
active employees who were eligible to participate in such plan and for all retiree participants
effective June 6, 2008. The Company provided such benefits to certain retirees and a closed group
of active employees who satisfied certain eligibility requirements, including having a minimum of
10 years of full time active service as of December 31, 1992. As a result of this termination,
during the second quarter of 2008, the Company eliminated its accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation of approximately $14.6 million and its unamortized net gain and prior service costs
included in accumulated other comprehensive income of $7.7 million, and recorded a gain of $22.3
million.
Additionally, the partial adoption of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, effective
December 30, 2007 effects the Companys significant accounting policy relating to fair value of
financial instruments (see Note 4 Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards).
4. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting
principles followed in the United States (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. FASB Statement No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or
permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
In February 2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS No. 157-2 (FAS No. 157-2) in which it
agreed to defer for one year the effective date of Statement No. 157 for all non-financial assets
and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis. The Company has only partially adopted Statement No. 157. In
accordance with FAS No. 157-2, the Company has not applied the provisions of Statement No. 157 in
recognizing its liability for employee termination benefits at fair value (see Note 5 Reduction in
Workforce). We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the complete adoption of
FASB Statement No. 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (Statement No. 162). The statement is intended to improve financial reporting by
identifying a consistent hierarchy for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing
financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. Prior to the issuance of Statement
No. 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 69, The Meaning of Present
11
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Unlike SAS No. 69, Statement
No. 162 is directed to the entity rather than the auditor. Statement No. 162 is effective 60 days
following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments
to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. Statement No. 162 is not expected to have any material impact on the Companys results
of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
5. Reduction in Workforce
As previously announced, the Company anticipates winding down its business at the end of 2008 when
its exclusive license to operate the footwear departments in Kmart stores expires. In connection
with this anticipated wind-down, on April 24, 2008 and on May 28, 2008, the Board of Directors of
the Company approved a plan to reduce operating expenses and align its workforce with its
anticipated staffing needs by reducing the Companys workforce by approximately 218 employees. The
Company notified these employees of their estimated termination dates, which range from June 28,
2008 through June 30, 2009. The Company expects to incur cash charges of approximately $8.5
million for one-time severance costs and $2.0 million for benefit costs associated with these
employees, which will be accounted for on a straight-line basis over the period from notification
through each employees termination date. For the three months ended June 28, 2008 the Company
recorded severance and benefit charges totaling $3.6 million, of which $2.1 million is included
within store operating, selling, general and administrative expenses and $1.5 million is included
within cost of sales in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash
payments to terminated employees totaling $0.4 million were paid during the three months ended June
28, 2008. As of June 28, 2008 the Company had an accrual of $3.2 million relating to severance and
benefit costs. In order to continue to retain key employees as it winds down its businesses the
Company may commit to additional cash charges when and if such plans are approved by the Board of
Directors.
6. Discontinued Operations
In April 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with CVS Pharmacy, Inc. (CVS), its former
parent entity, pursuant to which CVS agreed to assume any and all of Footstars obligations with
respect to an environmental remediation project relating to a landfill that has been designated as
a superfund site which was used by one of the Companys former manufacturing facilities that was
closed over 20 years ago. The assumption by CVS eliminated the previously recorded obligation of
$1.6 million for cash consideration of $0.9 million, resulting in a gain of $0.7 million, net of
tax, included in income from discontinued operations.
In addition, the Company received $0.6 million, net of tax, due to a settlement of a class action
lawsuit relating to the Companys Athletic segment, which was discontinued in 2004.
Net sales, operating income, interest expense and gain from discontinued operations for the three
and six months ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were as follows (in millions):

7. Liabilities Related to Discontinued Operations
The disposition of our Athletic Segment and certain operations within our Meldisco Segment in
fiscal year 2004, have been accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets. Accordingly, we
have separately reported our liabilities related to discontinued operations. In addition, we
applied the provisions of FASB Statement No. 144 to the stores closed by Kmart during the first six
months of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 and determined that these stores either did not meet the
criteria to be accounted for as discontinued operations or were not considered material to our
consolidated results of operations.
Liabilities related to discontinued operations consisted of accrued expenses of $0.9 million at
June 28, 2008 and at December 29, 2007.
8. Liabilities Subject to Compromise
Liabilities subject to compromise represent our current estimate of the amount of the pre-petition
claims that are subject to restructuring during bankruptcy. Pursuant to Court orders, we were
authorized to pay certain pre-petition operating liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of
business and reject certain of our pre-petition obligations. We notified all known pre-petition
creditors of the establishment of a bar date by which creditors must file a proof of claim, which
bar date has now passed for all creditors. Differences between liability amounts recorded by us and
claims timely filed by creditors have been substantially reconciled and were paid upon our
emergence on February 7, 2006. The Court will make a final determination of allowable claims on
the remaining disputed amounts.
Liabilities subject to compromise consisted of accrued expenses of $0.3 million and $0.5 million at
June 28, 2008 and at December 29, 2007, respectively.
9. Earnings Per Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing
net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding, after
giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding options or other contracts
or obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted.

The computation of diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or
issuance of shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS. Shares that could
potentially dilute EPS in the future, but which were not included in the calculation of
diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive, totaled 407,205 shares for
the three and six months ended June 28, 2008 and 494,415 shares for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007. All shares excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS had
exercise prices greater than the Companys market price per share. There were no assumed
shares having an anti-dilutive effect on EPS in any period. |

11. Income Taxes
The 2008 and 2007 income tax provision relates to the estimated income tax obligation of our
stores located in Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands, which do not have net operating losses
available to offset current income. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June
28, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were lower than the expected rate and the applicable U.S. statutory rate
because the Company is utilizing net operating losses available to reduce the annual provision.
Also included in the income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 is a
provision for alternative minimum tax.
As of June 28, 2008, all of the Companys deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities,
continue to be subject to a full valuation allowance, including the net operating losses available
to offset future taxable income.

FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
12. Special Cash Distribution
On May 9, 2008, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a special cash
distribution to stockholders in the amount of $1.00 per common share. The Company recorded this
distribution effective the date the declaration was made by the Board of Directors. The special
cash distribution totaling $21.3 million was paid on June 3, 2008.
On March 27, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a special cash
distribution to stockholders in the amount of $5.00 per common share. The Company recorded this
distribution effective the date the declaration was made by the Board of Directors. As such, the
Company recorded a special cash distribution which reduced retained earnings by the amount
available on the date of declaration ($88.8 million) and reduced additional paid-in capital for the
amount in excess of retained earnings ($16.0 million). The special cash distribution totaling
$104.8 million, was paid on April 30, 2007.
13. Credit Facility
The Company entered into the First Amendment to an Amended and Restated Exit Credit Agreement with
Bank of America, N.A. (the Amended Credit Facility) effective May 9, 2008. The Amended Credit
Facility reflects a voluntary reduction in total commitments available from $100 million to $50
million and a reduction in the letter of credit sub-limit from $40 million to $25 million. The
amount the Company may borrow continues to be limited to total commitments or, if lower, the
calculated borrowing base, based upon eligible inventory and accounts receivable, and other terms,
determined in accordance with the Amended Credit Facility. Loans under the Amended Credit Facility
bear interest, at the Companys option, either at the alternate base rate, as defined, plus a
variable margin of 0.0% to 0.5% or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a variable
margin of 1.75% to 2.50%. The variable margin is based upon quarterly excess availability levels
specified in the Amended Credit Facility. A quarterly fee of 0.3% per annum is payable on the
unused balance. In addition, the Amended Credit Facility reflects an extension in maturity date to
the earlier of December 31, 2008 or the termination of the Amended Master Agreement from the
earlier of November 30, 2008 or thirty days prior to the termination of the Amended Master
Agreement.
The Amended Credit Facility also provided for consent of the declaration and payment of a special
distribution to stockholders up to $1.00 per share of common stock; provided that no further
dividends or distributions be permitted without lender consent, unless consisting solely of the net
proceeds of the sale of the Companys corporate headquarters and satisfying other conditions set
forth in the Amended Credit Facility.
There were no borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility during the first six months of fiscal
2008. As of June 28, 2008, the Company had standby letters of credit totaling $7.1 million and
$32.9 million of additional availability under the Amended Credit Facility.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Kmart Relationship
The Kmart Agreement is scheduled to expire at the end of December 2008 (subject to any earlier
termination by mutual agreement of Kmart and Footstar or, in certain particular circumstances
provided for in the Kmart Agreement, unilaterally by a party pursuant to the existing early
termination or default terms of the Kmart Agreement).
Litigation Matters
On or about March 3, 2005, an action was filed against us in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Oregon, captioned Adidas America, Inc. and Adidas Salomon AG v. Kmart Corporation and
Footstar, Inc. seeking injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages for alleged trademark
infringement, trademark dilution, unfair competition, deceptive trade practices and breach of
contract arising out of our use of four stripes as a design element on footwear which Adidas claims
infringes on its registered three stripe trademark. This matter was settled amicably effective May
2, 2008 and the action was dismissed with prejudice.
We are involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
business. We do not believe that any of them will have a material adverse effect on our financial
position.
FMI Agreement
FMI International LLC (FMI), a logistics provider, is obligated to provide us with warehousing
and distribution services through June 30, 2012 under a receiving, warehousing and distribution
services agreement, as amended. In 2007, we were obligated to pay FMI a minimum of $17.8 million
for the two-year period of 2007 and 2008 payable $10.4 million in 2007 and $7.4 million in 2008.
The Company intends to exercise its right to terminate this agreement effective at the end of 2008
in connection with the liquidation of its business after which it will have no further obligations
to FMI.

Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be identified by the use of words such as
anticipate, estimates, should, expect, guidance, project, intend, plan, believe
and other words and terms of similar meaning, in connection with any discussion of our financial
statements, business, results of operations, liquidity and future operations or financial
performance. Factors that could affect our forward-looking statements include, among other things:
|
|
the Companys ability to manage the wind-down of its current businesses in connection with
the termination of our Kmart business by the end of 2008 (subject to any earlier termination
by mutual agreement of Kmart and the Company or, in certain particular circumstances provided
for in the Kmart Agreement, unilaterally by a party pursuant to the existing early termination
or |

|
|
default terms of the Kmart Agreement) and the Boards adoption in May 2008 of the plan of
liquidation; |
|
|
|
the impact of any dividends or any other special distributions to stockholders on the
Companys future cash requirements and liquidity needs, both in connection with the Companys
future operations and all contingencies; |
|
|
|
a plan of dissolution will be subject to approval and adoption by the Companys
stockholders; |
|
|
|
under a plan of dissolution, the Companys remaining assets would be disposed of, known
liabilities would be paid or provided for and reserves would be established for contingent
liabilities, with only any remaining assets available for ultimate distribution; |
|
|
|
uncertainties exist as to the disposition value of our remaining assets as well as the
amount of our liabilities and obligations, and, in connection with the liquidation plan and
subsequent dissolution, there can be no assurance as to the amount of any cash or other
property that may potentially be distributed to stockholders or the timing of any
distributions; |
|
|
|
there can be no assurance that issues will not arise in connection with the obligations,
adjustments and payments to occur on the termination of the Kmart Agreement; |
|
|
|
as our Kmart business winds down during 2008, we may encounter problems and other issues
that may adversely impact our Kmart Agreement or our other business obligations or our
financial results; |
|
|
|
we do not currently expect to generate any material revenues or operating income following
the termination of our Kmart business, although we will continue to incur costs in connection
with any of our ongoing operations and continued corporate existence as well as costs to
wind-down our business; |
|
|
|
we do not expect to be able to fully realize the benefits of our net operating loss carry
forwards; |
|
|
|
whether the Company continues to operate the footwear departments in Kmart stores through
December 2008; |
|
|
|
the Companys ability to obtain and maintain adequate terms and service with vendors and
service providers and to ensure timely delivery of goods through December 2008; |
|
|
|
the effect of making more current certain vendor payable terms effective February 2008; |
|
|
|
the ability to maintain contracts that are critical to the Companys operations; |
|
|
|
the Companys ability to successfully implement and maintain internal control and
procedures that ensure timely, effective and accurate financial reporting; |
|
|
|
the Companys ability to reduce overhead costs commensurate with any decline in sales and
in connection with the winding down of our business; |
17
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
|
|
the Companys ability to manage and plan for the disposal of, closing or conversion of
Kmart stores; |
|
|
|
retention of employees; and |
|
|
|
intense competition in the markets in which the Company competes. |
The Companys operation of the footwear departments in Kmart stores accounts for substantially all
of the Companys net sales and net profits. The Kmart Agreement, pursuant to which we operate
these footwear departments, is scheduled to expire at the end of 2008 (subject to any earlier
termination by mutual agreement of Kmart and the Company or, in certain particular circumstances
provided for in the Kmart Agreement, unilaterally by a party pursuant to the existing early
termination or default terms of the Kmart Agreement) at which time Kmart has agreed, under the
Master Agreement Amendment, to purchase the inventory in our Kmart footwear departments (excluding
inventory that is damaged or unsaleable) at book value, plus $1.35 million, less $0.95 million and
less a shrink adjustment of $0.2 million. In addition, at our option, Kmart may buy our seasonal
inventory, as defined at 40% of book value, less $1 million.
Following the wind-down our Kmart business and all its other businesses by no later than December
31, 2008, the Company plans on proposing a plan of dissolution to its stockholders.
The U.S. economy is currently experiencing significant and worsening macro-economic issues,
including tightening of U.S. credit markets, residential real estate crisis, recessionary and
inflationary pressure, high energy prices, higher raw material costs, declining value of the U.S.
dollar, higher unemployment rates, and stock market declines, which the Company believes has
negatively impacted its business and may continue to do so in the future. The Company believes that
consumer purchases of discretionary items have declined and may continue to decline during periods
of a negative economic environment and other periods where disposable income is lower. A continued
downturn in the economies which the Company sells its products may adversely affect the Companys
level of sales, result of operations and ability to continue to fund our needs from business
operations. Also, in light of our wind-down and expected liquidation, as well as the factors
referred to above, there is no assurance that our lender would be willing to support and
accommodate further requests or consents with respect to our Amended Credit Facility.
Because the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is based solely on data currently
available, it is subject to change and should not be viewed as providing any assurance regarding
our future operations or performance. Actual results, operations, performance, events, plans and
expectations may differ materially from our current projections, estimates and expectations and the
differences may be material, individually or in the aggregate, to our business, financial
condition, results of operations, liquidity and prospects. Additionally, we do not plan to update
any of our forward looking statements based on changes in assumptions, changes in results or other
events subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than as included in our
future required SEC filings, or as may otherwise be legally required.

FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
RECENT EVENTS
Our Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its
stockholders to liquidate the Companys business and ultimately dissolve after the expiration of
Kmart Agreement (and other miscellaneous contracts through the end of such term) and to sell the
Companys other remaining assets. As such, in May 2008, our Board of Directors adopted a plan of
liquidation, which provides for the complete liquidation of the Company by providing for the sale
of certain assets and the wind-down of the Companys business as described in that plan and
distributions of available cash to stockholders as determined by the Board of Directors. Under the
terms of the plan of liquidation, the Company contemplates submitting a plan of dissolution to the
Companys stockholders in 2009 after the expiration of the Kmart Agreement.
We continue to market our corporate headquarters in Mahwah, New Jersey for possible sale.
In connection with the winding down of our business, the Company has:
|
|
entered into the IP Purchase Agreement and the Master Agreement Amendment with Kmart and
Sears, on April 3, 2008, as discussed in Note 1 (Nature of Company; Expiration of Agreement
with Kmart; and Plan of Liquidation) of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
this Form 10-Q; |
|
|
|
declared a special cash distribution to stockholders in the amount of $1.00 per share,
which was paid on June 3, 2008 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 28,
2008; |
|
|
|
entered into an amendment to its revolving credit facility, which extends the maturity date
of the Amended Credit Facility to the earlier of December 31, 2008 or the termination of the
Kmart Agreement and reduces the revolving commitments thereunder to $50,000,000 (inclusive of
a $25,000,000 sub-limit for letters of credit) as discussed in Note 13 Credit Facility of
our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q; |
|
|
|
approved planned reductions in workforce and eliminated three executive officer positions,
which are intended to reduce the Companys operating expenses and further align its workforce
with its anticipated staffing needs, as discussed in Note 5 Reduction in Workforce of our
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q; and |
|
|
|
terminated its retiree medical and retiree life insurance plan for all active employees who
were eligible to participate in such plan and for all retiree participants, effective June 6,
2008, as discussed in Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Standards of our Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. |
Overview
The following points highlight the first six months of operations in 2008 as compared to the first
six months in 2007 for the Company and our financial condition as of June 28, 2008:
|
|
as of June 28, 2008 we operated in 1,383 Kmart stores compared with 1,389 stores on
June 30, 2007, and we operated in 833 Rite Aid stores on June 28, 2008 in the western region
of the United States, compared with 854 stores on June 30, 2007; |
19
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
|
|
operating profit increased to $28.4 million for the six month period ended June 28,
2008 as compared to an operating profit of $21.5 million for the six month period ended June
30, 2007, primarily the result of the termination of the retiree medical and life insurance
plan ($22.3 million) and lower selling, general and administrative costs ($2.2 million) which
offset the effects of lower sales ($36.4 million) and lower gross profit ($19.0) million; |
|
|
|
the Company used $16.1 million in cash from operating activities during the first
six months of 2008 as compared to providing cash of $8.5 million from operating activities for
the first six months of 2007, primarily related to the change in vendor terms and lower sales
in the first six months of 2008; and |
|
|
|
as of June 28, 2008, the Company had $29.4 million of cash and cash equivalents with
no loans outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility. Outstanding standby letters of
credit as of June 28, 2008 were $7.1 million. The Company had $32.9 million available for
additional borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility as of June 28, 2008. |
Kmart Relationship
Our business relationship with Kmart is extremely important to us. The licensed footwear
departments in Kmart provide substantially all of our sales and profits.
As discussed in more detail in Note 1 (Nature of Company; Expiration of Agreement with Kmart; and
Plan of Liquidation) of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, on April
3, 2008, we entered into the Master Agreement Amendment, which amended certain provisions of the
Kmart Agreement, including, among other things, Kmarts purchase of the inventory (excluding
damaged or unsaleable inventory) associated with the Kmart business upon the termination of the
Kmart Agreement.
Product Sourcing
Product sourcing in the family footwear business is driven by relationships with foreign
manufacturers. Approximately 97% of our products are imported by us and manufactured in China
where the cost of labor has increased. A portion of our footwear product is comprised of
petrochemical products where prices have fluctuated dramatically over the past year. Furthermore,
higher product prices could result from Chinas July 2005 currency revaluation which allows the
value of the Yuan to link to a trade-weighted basket of currencies rather than being pegged to the
U.S. dollar at a fixed rate. Although we pay for finished goods in U.S. dollars, we have
experienced higher product costs for our goods, which have not been fully offset by price increases
for our merchandise. Also, as a result of these issues, the Company has shifted certain
manufacturing production to lower cost regions of China. It is possible that the Company could
experience lower product quality and/or late shipments in these new factories which could
unfavorably impact the Companys financial results. The Company has experienced low, single digit
cost increases for our products which we do not believe will be fully offset by price increases and
we therefore expect will have a negative impact on our margins and profitability for the remainder
of this fiscal year.

Net Sales
Net sales decreased $20.2 million, or 11.7%, to $153.2 million in 2008 compared with $173.4 million
in 2007. Shoemart sales were approximately $148.9 million in 2008 and $166.9 million in 2007.
Shoemart comparable store sales decreased 10.3% due to the Easter calendar shift, lower clearance
sales and lower customer traffic levels. Shoemart store counts were down on average by 0.4% during
the second quarter as there were 1,383 stores in operation in 2008 versus 1,389 stores in 2007.
Rite Aid sales were also down due to a 16.5% comparable store sales decline and store counts that
were down on average by 2.4%.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $12.4 million, or 20.4%, to $48.3 million in 2008 compared with $60.7
million in 2007. The weaker gross margin is primarily attributed to the 11.7% sales decline during
the quarter. The balance of the gross profit decline was due to an additional inventory reserve of
$2.4 million which is required since Kmart is obligated per the Master Agreement Amendment to pay
only 40% of book value for all seasonal inventories as of December 31, 2008. In addition,
severance and benefit related changes within cost of sales ($1.5 million) and higher fuel and
delivery costs ($0.7 million) also contributed to the gross profit decline versus 2007.
SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses increased $1.4 million, or 3.8%, to $38.5 million in 2008 compared with $37.1 million
in 2007. The increase was due to $2.1 million of charges in the second quarter to reflect the cost
of severance and other benefits for associates that have been informed of their expected
termination dates in 2008 and 2009.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.1 million to $1.0 million in 2008 compared with $2.1
million in 2007. The decrease is due to lower amortization costs since the Company ceased

Gain on Cancellation of Retiree Benefit Plan
In connection with the previously announced anticipated wind-down of the Companys business at the
end of 2008, the Company terminated its retiree medical and retiree life insurance plan for all
active employees who had been eligible to participate in such plan and for all retiree participants
effective June 6, 2008. As a result of this termination, during the second quarter of 2008, the
Company eliminated its accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of approximately $14.6 million
and its unamortized net gain and prior service costs included in accumulated other comprehensive
income of $7.7 million, and recorded a gain of approximately $22.3 million.
Operating Profit
Operating profit increased $9.6 million to $31.1 million in 2008 compared with $21.5 million in
2007 primarily for the reasons described above.

Net Sales
Net sales decreased $36.4 million, or 11.8%, to $271.1 million in 2008 compared with $307.5 million
in 2007. Shoemart sales were approximately $262.7 million in 2008 and $295.2 million in 2007 for an
11.0% decrease during the first six months of 2008. The Shoemart sales decline was the result of
comparable store sales that were down 10.6% and store counts that were down 0.4% on average
throughout the first six months of 2008. The Shoemart comparable store sales decline was due to
lower customer traffic levels and weaker selling across all product categories on full-priced
merchandise. Rite Aid comparable store sales decreased 12.5% during the first six months of 2008.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $19.0 million to $82.6 million in 2008 compared with $101.6 million in 2007.
The 18.7% decrease in gross profit dollars was largely the result of the 11.8% decrease in sales
during the first six months of 2008. The balance of the gross profit decline was due to an
additional inventory reserve of $2.4 million which is required since Kmart is obligated per the
Master Agreement Amendment to pay only 40% of book value for all seasonal inventories as of
22
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
December 31, 2008. In addition, higher fuel and delivery costs ($0.3 million) also contributed to
the gross profit decline versus 2007. The Company has experienced low, single digit cost increases
for our products which we do not believe will be fully offset by price increases and we therefore
expect will have a negative impact on our margins and profitability for the remainder of the year.
SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses decreased $2.2 million, or 2.9%, to $73.7 million in 2008 compared with $75.9 million
in 2007. The decrease in SG&A expenses was largely due to lower administrative costs during the
first six months of 2008 due to lower compensation and benefit costs due to lower headcount ($1.2
million), lower professional fees ($1.3 million) and lower general and administrative expenses
($1.8 million). Offsetting these decreases was approximately $2.1 million of charges to reflect
the cost of severance and other benefits for associates that have been informed of their expected
termination dates in 2008 and 2009.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.4 million to $2.8 million in 2008 compared with $4.2
million in 2007. The decrease is due to lower amortization costs since the Company ceased
trademark amortization with the sale of these trademarks in April 2008.
Gain on Cancellation of Retiree Benefit Plan
In connection with the previously announced anticipated wind-down of the Companys business at the
end of 2008, the Company terminated its retiree medical and retiree life insurance plan for all
active employees who had been eligible to participate in such plan and for all retiree participants
effective June 6, 2008. As a result of this termination, during the second quarter of 2008, the
Company eliminated its accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of approximately $14.6 million
and its unamortized net gain and prior service costs included in accumulated other comprehensive
income of $7.7 million, and recorded a gain of approximately $22.3 million.
Operating Profit
Operating profit increased $6.9 million to $28.4 million in 2008 compared with $21.5 million in
2007 primarily due to the reasons noted above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary uses of cash are funding working capital requirements and operating expenses. The
Company also expects to incur severance and other costs in connection with the anticipated wind-
down of its business. Further, we could experience shifts in working capital requirements not
consistent with past periods. The Company intends to fund its cash requirements through current
balances in cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations, supplemented by borrowings
available under the revolving credit facility (the Amended Credit Facility), as needed. The
Amended Credit Facility matures on the earlier of December 31, 2008 or the termination of the Kmart
Agreement. At June 28, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $29.4 million and $32.9 million of
availability under the Amended Credit Facility.
23
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
On May 11, 2008, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a $1.00 per share
special cash distribution to stockholders of record as of May 28, 2008. The distribution totaling
$21.3 million was paid on June 3, 2008 from balances in cash and cash equivalents and did not cause
the Company to borrow under the Amended Credit Facility. Lender consent to such declaration and
payment was provided for under the Amended Credit Facility effective as of May 9, 2008.
Subsequent to our emergence from Chapter 11 on February 7, 2006 through June 28, 2008, we made
payments to creditors totaling $127.7 million, including interest where applicable. These payments
exclude claims for approximately $0.3 million which we currently expect will be paid, with interest
where applicable, upon final resolution.
Net cash used in operating activities for the first six months of 2008 was $16.1 million, primarily
consisting of net income of $28.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.8 million and a
decrease in accounts receivable of $2.3 million, offset by gain on termination of retiree medical
plan of $22.3 million, an increase in inventories of $11.5 million, a decrease in accounts payable
of $12.5 million (see discussion below relating to the change in payment terms to various
suppliers) and other miscellaneous items of $3.8 million. Net cash provided by operating
activities for the first six months of 2007 was $8.5 million primarily consisting of net income of
$22.3 million, depreciation and amortization of $4.2 million, and other miscellaneous items of $0.5
million, partially offset by an increase in inventories of $11.4 million and a decrease in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $7.1 million.
In light of the anticipated termination of the Kmart Agreement by the end of December 2008, we
began providing more current payment terms (shifting from 60 days to 30 days) to various suppliers
in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, which we do not expect to impair or have an adverse material
impact on our liquidity or results of operations.
Cash provided by investing activities was $13.0 million and cash used in financing activities was
$21.9 million in the first six months of 2008 compared to using $0.3 million in cash in investing
activities and $105.3 million in cash in financing activities in the first six months of 2007. Cash
provided by investing activities in 2008 related to our sale of intellectual property in April
2008. Cash outflows from financing activities in the 2008 period reflect the Companys special cash
distribution of $1.00 per common share totaling $21.3 million paid in June 2008. Cash outflows
from financing activities in the 2007 period reflected the Companys special cash distribution of
$5.00 per common share totaling $104.8 million paid in April 2007.
Cash provided by discontinued operations for the first six months of 2008 was $0.6 million due to a
settlement of a class action lawsuit relating to the Companys Athletic segment which was
discontinued in 2004.
Factors that could affect our short and long term liquidity include, among other things,
maintaining the support of our key vendors and lender, retaining key personnel, the payment of any
further dividends or distributions, the impact of subsequent financial results and the timing of
the wind-down of our current businesses, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the
Company has experienced low, single digit cost increases for our products which we do not believe
will be fully offset by price increases and we therefore expect will have a negative impact on our
gross profit and operating income for the remainder of this fiscal year. Because the Company had
not
24
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
identified a course of action to replace its current business, we are planning to wind-down our
Kmart business and all our other business by not later than December 31, 2008 and expect to propose
a plan of dissolution to our stockholders in 2009 after the scheduled expiration of the Kmart
Agreement. Although we cannot reasonably assess the impact of all of these or other uncertainties,
we believe that our cash balances, cash generated from operations, and borrowings available under
our Amended Credit Facility, if needed, will be sufficient to fund our current business plan,
working capital needs and anticipated expenses for at least the next twelve months.
The Companys Board of Directors has considered, and could determine in the future, in its
discretion, to approve and declare further distributions or dividends to stockholders. There can
be no assurance that any such distributions or dividends will be paid or, if to be approved, in
what amount or amounts or the timing thereof. All future dividends and distributions would be in
the absolute discretion of the Board of Directors with consent as required by our lender in
connection with our Amended Credit Facility.
Amended Credit Facility
On May 9, 2008, the Company entered into the Amended Credit Facility with Bank of America, N.A. The
Amended Credit Facility reflects a voluntary reduction in total commitments available from $100
million to $50 million and letter of credit sub-limit from $40 million to $25 million. The amount
we may borrow under the Amended Credit Facility continues to be limited to total commitments or, if
lower, the calculated borrowing base, based upon eligible inventory and accounts receivable and
other terms determined in accordance with the Amended Credit Facility. Loans under the Amended
Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, either at the alternate base rate, as defined, plus a
variable margin of 0.0% to 0.5% or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a variable
margin of 1.75% to 2.50%. The variable margin is based upon quarterly excess availability levels
specified in the Amended Credit Facility. A quarterly fee of 0.3% per annum is payable on the
unused balance. The Amended Credit Facility reflects an extension in maturity date to the earlier
of December 31, 2008, or the termination of the Kmart Agreement, from November 30, 2008 or thirty
days prior to the termination of the Kmart Agreement.
The Amended Credit Facility is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in
substantially all of the assets of the Company and contains various affirmative and negative
covenants, representations, warranties and events of default to which we are subject, including
certain financial covenants and restrictions such as limitations on additional indebtedness, other
liens, dividends, distributions, investments, disposal of assets, stock repurchases and capital
expenditures. The Company is required to maintain a minimum excess availability level at all
times, equal to at least 10% of the borrowing base. In addition, if at any time minimum excess
availability falls below 10% of the borrowing base, the Companys fixed charge coverage ratio for
the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended must be less than 1.10 to 1.00.
If an event of default occurs under the Amended Credit Facility, the lender may declare all amounts
outstanding immediately due and payable and may exercise any rights and remedies they may have by
law or agreement, including the ability to cause all or any part of the collateral to be sold. The
Company is currently in compliance with all of its covenants under the Amended Credit Facility.
On April 3, 2008, the Company entered into the IP Purchase Agreement and a Master Agreement
Amendment. Under the terms of the IP Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to Sears Brands
substantially all intellectual property, including intellectual property related to the Companys
25
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
Kmart business, for a purchase price of approximately $13.0 million. We were required to and did
obtain lender consent under our revolving credit facility in connection with this sale and the
amendment of the Kmart Agreement.
We enter into standby letters of credit to secure certain obligations, including insurance programs
and duties related to the import of our merchandise. As of June 28, 2008, we had $7.1 million of
standby letters of credit outstanding under our Amended Credit Facility. The Company anticipates
that certain standby letters of credit will be required after the Amended Credit Facility matures
and as such, expects to cash collateralize such obligations in a manner acceptable to the issuer of
any such standby letters of credit.
There were no borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility during the first six months of fiscal
2008. As of July 26, 2008 we had no loans outstanding, standby letters of credit totaling $7.1
million and $32.0 million of additional availability under the Amended Credit Facility.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our condensed
consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical accounting estimates
that require management to make judgments and estimates that are subject to varying degrees of
uncertainty. We believe that investors need to be aware of these estimates and how they impact our
financial statements as a whole, as well as our related discussion and analysis presented herein.
While we believe that these accounting estimates are based on sound measurement criteria, actual
future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these
estimates or forecasts.
The critical accounting estimates and related risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and
estimates. As of June 28, 2008, the retiree medical benefits critical accounting estimate in our
2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K is no longer applicable due to the termination of the retiree
medical plan in June 2008. Excluding the retiree medical benefits critical accounting estimate,
there have been no material changes to any critical accounting estimate contained in our 2007
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Derivatives
As of June 28, 2008, we were not materially exposed to changes in the underlying values of our
assets or liabilities nor were we materially exposed to changes in the value of expected foreign
currency cash flows. We historically have not entered into derivative instruments for any purpose
other than to manage our interest rate exposure. That is, we do not hold derivative financial
investments for trading or speculative purposes.
26
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
Interest Rates
As of June 28, 2008, the Company had no outstanding loans and $7.1 million of standby letters of
credit outstanding under its Amended Credit Facility. Revolving loans under our Amended Credit
Facility bear interest at rates that are tied to market rates such as the LIBOR, prime rate and
federal funds rate and therefore our condensed consolidated financial statements could be exposed
to market risk related to fluctuations in interest rates to the extent that the Company borrows in
the future. Additionally, we have not entered into financial instruments for hedging purposes.
Foreign Exchange
A significant percentage of the Companys products are sourced or manufactured offshore, with China
accounting for approximately 97% of all sources. Our offshore product sourcing and purchasing
activities are currently, and have been historically, denominated in U.S. dollars, and, therefore,
we do not currently have material exposure to cash flows denominated in foreign currencies nor have
net foreign exchange gains or losses been material to operating results in the reporting periods
presented in this report.
Historically, Chinas national currency, the Yuan, was pegged to the U.S. dollar at a fixed rate.
However, in July 2005, the Chinese government revalued the Yuan allowing its value to now link to a
trade-weighted basket of currencies. If the exchange rate of the Chinese Yuan were to continue
increasing versus the U.S. dollar, the Company may experience higher product costs with regards to
inventory purchased from China.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company has established controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and
forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The
Companys management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer Senior Vice President, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act))
as of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date). There are inherent
limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the
possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.
Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable
assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on such evaluation, the President and Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer Senior Vice President concluded that, as of the
Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance
level.
No changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting have occurred during the
quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The information set forth under the caption Litigation Matters in Note 14 (Commitments and
Contingencies) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated herein by
reference.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
The risk factors included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 29, 2007, under Item 1A. Risk Factors and Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis
- Factors to Consider, should be reviewed and considered. In addition, certain modified risk
factors have been included below:
Liquidation of the Companys Businesses
The Company is planning to wind-down its Kmart business and all our other businesses by not later
than December 31, 2008. This will include a liquidation and wind-down of the Companys business,
including proposing a plan of dissolution to our stockholders, which is expected to occur in 2009.
The Board of Directors of the Company adopted a plan of liquidation in May 2008, which provides for
the complete liquidation of the Company by providing for the sale of certain assets and the
wind-down of the Companys business as described in that plan and distributions of available cash
to stockholders as determined by the Board of Directors. Under the terms of the plan of
liquidation, the Company contemplates submitting a plan of dissolution to the Companys
stockholders in 2009 after the expiration of the Kmart Agreement. In connection with the wind-down
of our current business, we continue to evaluate all of our remaining assets that would be
available for possible sale, including our corporate headquarters. We cannot assure you that we
will be successful in the sale of our corporate headquarters or any other saleable assets, if any,
on the terms or at the time we may expect or plan for.
In connection with a plan of liquidation and dissolution, there can be no assurance as to the
amount, if any, of cash or other property that could be distributed to our stockholders or the
timing of any such future distribution.
Although we presently anticipate that a plan of liquidation and dissolution would be presented for
approval of stockholders as soon as practicable in 2009, our Board has no fixed timetable for when
any distribution to our stockholders may occur due to the many contingencies and uncertainties
inherent in winding down and liquidating a business.
A proposed plan of liquidation and dissolution will be subject to approval and adoption by the
Companys stockholders.
Under a plan of liquidation and dissolution the Companys remaining assets would be sold or
otherwise disposed of, known liabilities would be paid or provided for, reserves would be
28
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
established for contingent liabilities and any remaining cash would ultimately be distributed to
stockholders.
Following the termination of our Kmart business by no later then December 31, 2008, it is expected
that the Company will have limited or no new revenue generation sources or activities and that it
would not engage in further revenue-generating activities except for winding down the business of
the Company, selling or disposing of any of its remaining saleable assets and satisfying and
providing for its liabilities and claims.
The amount and timing of any distributions to stockholders would be determined by our Board (or the
trustee of a liquidating trust if our assets and liabilities are transferred to a liquidating trust
pursuant to a plan of liquidation and dissolution), in its sole discretion, and would depend, in
part, on our ability to settle or otherwise resolve and provide for all of our remaining
liabilities and contingencies and convert any remaining assets into cash.
As we pursue liquidation and dissolution of our business, uncertainties as to the amount of our
liabilities and the disposition value, if any, of our remaining assets make it impractical to
predict the net value which might ultimately be distributable to our stockholders. The amount and
timing of any distribution in connection with any decision to liquidate and dissolve would depend
upon many factors, including:
|
|
approval of a plan of liquidation and dissolution by our stockholders; |
|
|
|
the amounts deemed necessary by our Board to pay and provide for all of our liabilities and
obligations, including potential liabilities and obligations; |
|
|
|
the amounts deemed necessary by our Board to satisfy any known or unknown contingent
liabilities; |
|
|
|
the timing and proceeds of any of our saleable assets; and |
|
|
|
any future developments, events or circumstances which may impact or adversely change the
results of any plan of liquidation. |
The amount of any liquidation distribution would be based upon each of these factors, many of which
are beyond our control, as well as the amount of funds necessary to complete the liquidation and
dissolution of our business. If the Board determines that material contingent liabilities exist,
including any asserted or threatened litigation, any distribution may be reduced or delayed.
Depending upon the circumstances at the time, costs and expenses for professional fees and other
costs and expenses of a liquidation and dissolution may be significant.
No assurance can be given that available cash and any amounts received on any sale of assets will
be adequate to provide for our obligations, liabilities, expenses and claims and to make cash
distributions to stockholders. We also cannot assure you that any distribution in liquidation would
equal the price or prices at which our common stock has recently traded or may trade in the future.
29
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
Kmart Agreement
There can be no assurance that issues will not arise in connection with any of the obligations,
adjustments and payments to occur on the termination of our Kmart Agreement.
As discussed in Note 1 (Nature of Company; Expiration of Agreement with Kmart; and Plan of
Liquidation) of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, in April 2008 we
entered into the Master Agreement Amendment, which amended certain provisions of the Kmart
Agreement, including, among other things, Kmarts purchase of the inventory associated with the
Kmart business at the termination of that agreement. Upon the termination of the Kmart Agreement,
each of the Company and Kmart has significant obligations to be satisfied to the other party. In
light of the significant adjustments and amounts payable in connection with the termination of the
Kmart Agreement, including determinations as to purchase price to be paid by Kmart for inventory,
there is no assurance that the parties will in all instances be able to resolve all remaining
obligations to be satisfied and all amounts payable between them upon and in connection with the
termination of this business.
Certain issues in winding-down our business
As our Kmart business winds down, we may encounter problems and other issues which may adversely
impact our Kmart Agreement and our other business operations and our financial results.
We have been operating our business with Kmart for over forty years. The Kmart business currently
accounts for substantially all of our net sales and net profits and is expected to terminate by no
later than December 31, 2008. We could potentially encounter numerous problems and issues in
winding down and terminating this business and all of our other operations, many of which may be
beyond our control.
|
|
We could potentially have issues with our suppliers and other vendors which may be
concerned with the pending termination of our business, and we could potentially encounter
problems with merchandise production, shipments or quality; |
|
|
|
We may encounter difficulty retaining or replacing our store personnel or administrative or
management personnel; |
|
|
|
In connection with scaling back and winding down our business in anticipation of the
termination of the Kmart Agreement, we will incur cash charges in connection with severance
costs and may likely incur cash and non-cash special charges in connection with exit
activities and potential other charges or matters. |
As we scale back our business operations we anticipate reducing our workforce.
As discussed in Note 5 (Reduction in Workforce) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, in connection with the wind-down of the Companys business, the Board has approved
plans to reduce the Companys workforce by approximately 130 employees in 2008 and 88 employees in
2009.
30
FOOTSTAR, INC. and SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
We do not currently expect to generate any material revenues or operating income as an independent
company following the termination of our current business.
As discussed in Note 1 (Nature of Company; Expiration of Agreement with Kmart; and Plan of
Liquidation) of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, we sold to Sears
Brands substantially all of the Companys intellectual property related to our Kmart business in
April 2008. Following the termination of our Kmart Agreement, which we expect to occur by no later
than December 31, 2008, we do not expect to own or manage any material revenue-producing assets and
we will not generate any meaningful revenues. We will endeavor to operate the Company on a scaled
back basis. However, we will continue to incur significant costs to maintain our ongoing
administrative operations and continued corporate existence as well as costs to wind-down our
business, without corresponding revenues.
See Forward-Looking Statements in Item 2 for additional risk factors to consider.
