PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Our Business
Sport Supply Group is a marketer, manufacturer and distributor of sporting goods equipment,
physical education, recreational and leisure products and a marketer and distributor of soft good
athletic apparel and footwear products (
soft goods
), primarily to the institutional
market in the United States. The institutional market generally consists of youth sports programs,
YMCAs, YWCAs, park and recreational organizations, schools, colleges, churches, government
agencies, athletic teams, athletic clubs and sporting goods dealers. We offer a broad line of
sporting goods and equipment, soft goods and other recreational products, and provide after-sale
customer service. We currently market approximately 18.5 thousand sports related equipment
products, soft goods and recreational related equipment and products to institutional, retail and
Internet customers.
We sell our products directly to our institutional customers primarily through:
|
|
|
our unique, informative catalogs and fliers that we distribute to potential customers;
|
|
|
|
|
our strategically located road sales professionals;
|
|
|
|
|
our telemarketers;
|
|
|
|
|
the Internet; and
|
|
|
|
|
our appearance at trade shows and other sales events.
|
We market our products through the use of a customer database of over 400 thousand potential
customers, our 193 person direct sales force strategically located throughout the Mid-Western and
Mid-Atlantic United States, and our call centers located at our headquarters in Farmers Branch,
Texas, Corona, California in the Los Angeles basin, and Richmond, Virginia. We have subdivided our
mailing list into various customer profiles to help ensure that our catalogs are directed to those
individuals that make the decisions to purchase the products we offer. Relevant product types and
seasonal demand also subdivide the master mailing list. We regularly screen, cross check and
update our customer database to maintain its accuracy and functionality. Sport Supply Group
intends to distribute approximately 3.3 million catalogs and fliers from this database during
fiscal 2009 as compared to approximately 3.1 million distributed during fiscal 2008.

Corporate History; Additional Information
The Company commenced operations in February 1998 when it was acquired by Michael J.
Blumenfeld and Adam Blumenfeld. Michael Blumenfeld sold all of the assets of Collegiate Pacific
Inc. f/k/a Nitro Sports, Inc., a company he formed in 1997 to engage in the catalog and mail order
marketing of sports equipment, to the Company at cost. We changed our name to Collegiate Pacific
Inc. at that time and in July 1999 reincorporated the Company as a Delaware corporation. In an
effort to streamline the organizational structure of the Companys team dealers, on January 1,
2007, the Company caused to be effected the merger of Salkeld & Sons, Inc. (
Salkeld
) with
and into Kesslers Team Sports, Inc. (
Kesslers
), and the merger of CMS of Central Florida
d/b/a Orlando Team Sports (
OTS
) with and into Dixie Sporting Goods Co., Inc.
(
Dixie
). On June 30, 2007, the Company also caused to be effected the merger of Tomark
Inc. (
Tomark
) and Sport Supply Group, Inc. (
Old SSG
) with and into Collegiate
Pacific Inc. On June 30, 2007, the Company changed its name to Sport Supply Group, Inc. and, on
July 1, 2007, changed its stock ticker symbol from BOO to RBI. As a result of these mergers,
the Company currently has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Kesslers Team Sports, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, and Dixie Sporting Goods Co., Inc., a Virginia corporation.
Sport Supply Groups common stock is quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market (symbol: RBI). Our
executive offices are located at 1901 Diplomat Drive, Farmers Branch, Texas 75234, and our
telephone number at that location is (972) 484-9484. The Companys fiscal year ends on June 30.
Our Internet website is www.sportsupplygroup.com. Sport Supply Group makes available, free of
charge, on or through the website, its annual, quarterly and current reports and other Securities
and Exchange Commission (
SEC
) filings, including Forms 3, 4 and 5, as well as any
amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after electronically filing those
reports with the SEC. This website address is intended to be an inactive textual reference only,
and none of the information contained on the website is part of this report or is incorporated in
this report by reference.
Corporate Strategy
Sport Supply Group has embarked upon an aggressive program to leverage its existing operations
and to complement and diversify its product offerings within the sporting goods and recreational
products industry. We intend to implement our internal growth strategy by continuing to improve
operating efficiencies, extending our product offerings through new product launches and maximizing
our distribution channels. In addition, Sport Supply Group may continue to seek strategic
acquisitions and relationships with other sporting goods companies with well-established brands and
with complimentary distribution channels.
We believe a consolidation of the sporting goods industry has contributed to a shift of sales
within the institutional market from traditional, retail storefront sites to sales from catalogs,
direct marketing by road sales professionals and the Internet. Sport Supply Group believes the
most successful sporting goods companies will be those with strong financial resources and the
ability to produce or source high-quality, low cost products, deliver those products directly to
customers on a timely basis and access distribution channels with a broad array of products and
brands.
We believe we are well positioned to grow our business because of our superior catalog design,
our efficient merchandising and direct distribution capabilities, our 193 person direct sales
force, our extensive product offerings, our long-term customer relationships, our superior customer
service, and our superior sourcing and production capabilities. Since commencing operations in
1998, the Companys annual net sales have grown to approximately $251 million for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2008, through a combination of internal growth and strategic acquisitions. Net
sales were approximately $237 million and $224 million in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. For
additional information on our financial results, see Item 8 Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data.

Our strategic plan has included both organic growth from existing operations and growth
through the acquisition of other companies. Since fiscal 2005, we have completed the following
acquisitions:
Fiscal 2007
|
|
|
Old SSG in November 2006 completed the acquisition of the remaining 26.8% of
the capital stock of Old SSG that we did not already own. Old SSG was a direct
marketer and Business-To-Business (
B2B
) e-commerce supplier of sporting goods
and physical education equipment to the institutional and youth sports markets;
|
Fiscal 2006
|
|
|
Old SSG in July 2005 acquired 53.2% of the outstanding capital stock of Old
SSG in July 2005. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we acquired an additional
20% of the outstanding capital stock of Old SSG bringing our total ownership to 73.2%;
|
|
|
|
|
The operating assets of Team Print in August 2005 a leading embroiderer and
screen printer of sporting goods apparel and accessories, which was acquired from one
of the former stockholders of Salkeld;
|
Fiscal 2005
|
|
|
Dixie in July 2004 a leading supplier of soft goods and sporting goods
equipment throughout the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, with a road sales
force of approximately 56 employees;
|
|
|
|
|
OTS in December 2004 a leading supplier of soft goods and sporting goods
equipment throughout the State of Florida with a road sales force of approximately 13
employees; and
|
|
|
|
|
Salkeld in May 2005 a leading supplier of soft goods and sporting goods
equipment throughout the State of Illinois, with a particular concentration in Chicago
and a road sales force of approximately 13 employees.
|
As its primary goal, Sport Supply Groups management seeks to optimize the collective and
individual performance of these acquired businesses. We have strived to identify areas in which
these businesses are unique and areas in which they overlap.
In those areas where our businesses are unique, Sport Supply Group seeks to promote and
develop those unique qualities by integrating them into all of our distribution channels. As an
example of this integration, Sport Supply Group has enhanced Kesslers, Dixies, OTS and Salkelds
existing offering of soft goods with the infusion of approximately 10,500 Sport Supply Group
proprietary products into their marketing mix. Sport Supply Group has designed catalogs for
Kesslers, Dixie, OTS and Salkeld that display both soft goods and sporting goods equipment.
In those areas where our businesses overlap, Sport Supply Group endeavors to integrate them to
build on inherent synergies, develop collective vision and maximize cost efficiencies. An example
of this effort is reflected in the integration of the Sport Supply Group, Old SSG, and Tomark
manufacturing and assembly capabilities in our Farmers Branch, Texas facility and the utilization
of in-house embroidery and screen print services at Team Print. We believe we can more effectively
monitor the quality of products while at the same time realize cost savings for our customers.
For additional information on these acquisitions, see Note 3 in Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

under which it markets its products. Except for
New Era
, we do not have written supply agreements
with any of our suppliers. Registered and other trademarks and trade names of Sport Supply Groups
products are italicized in this Form 10-K.
Sales and Marketing
Through our acquisitions of our team dealers (Kesslers, Dixie, OTS and Salkeld), each with its
own road sales professionals, we offer our complete line of sporting goods equipment, soft goods,
and physical education, recreational and leisure products to our traditional school accounts such
as colleges, universities, high schools, and all other levels of public and private schools and
their athletic and recreational departments. We continue to utilize our distinctive catalogs to
offer our complete line of sporting goods equipment, soft goods, and physical education,
recreational and leisure products to our traditional school accounts as well as non-traditional
accounts such as youth sports programs, park and recreational organizations, churches, government
agencies, athletic clubs and dealers.
Our master mailing list currently includes over 400 thousand potential customers, and we
intend to distribute approximately 3.3 million catalogs and fliers to this audience during fiscal
2009. We subdivided our mailing list into various combinations designed to place catalogs in the
hands of the individuals making the purchasing decisions. The master mailing list is also
subdivided by relevant product types, seasonal demands and customer profiles.
In addition to promoting our products through catalogs and other direct mailings, we offer our
products directly to our team, institutional and corporate customers through our 193 person direct
sales force. Primarily focused in the Mid-Western and the Mid-Atlantic United States, our direct
sales force calls on our team, institutional and corporate accounts to promote our broad line of
soft goods and sporting goods equipment. We also market our products through trade shows,
telemarketing and the Internet.
Customers
We do not depend upon any one or a few major customers for our revenues because we enjoy a
very large and diverse customer base. Our customers include all levels of public and private
schools, youth sports programs, YMCAs, YWCAs, park and recreational organizations, churches, clubs,
camps, government agencies, military facilities, athletic teams, athletic clubs and team dealers.
Many of our institutional customers typically receive annual appropriations for sports related
equipment, which are generally spent in the period preceding the season in which the sport or
athletic activity occurs. Although institutions are subject to budget constraints, once
allocations have been made, aggregate levels of expenditures are typically not reduced.
Approximately 3.4%, 3.2% and 2.1% of our sales in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively,
were to agencies of the United States government. Due to the acquisition of the capital stock of
Old SSG, we currently have two contracts with the General Services Administration (the
GSA
) that grant us an approved status when attempting to make sales to military
installations or other governmental agencies. The existing contracts with the GSA expire on July
31, 2009 and December 31, 2011. Under these contracts, we agree to sell approximately 250 products
to United States government agencies and departments at catalog prices or at prices consistent with
any discount provided to our other customers. Products sold to the United States government under
the GSA contracts are always sold at our lowest offered price. In addition to the GSA contracts,
the Company has an Air Force non-appropriated funds contract that allows us to sell our entire
offering of catalog products. This contract expires September 30, 2008 and is expected to be
renewed.

Seasonal Nature of Business; Backlog
Historically, sales of our sporting goods have experienced seasonal fluctuations. This
seasonality causes our financial results to vary from quarter to quarter, which usually results in
higher net sales and operating profit in our first, third and fourth fiscal quarters (July through
September and January through June), with our highest net sales and operating profit usually
occurring in our first fiscal quarter, and our lowest net sales and operating profit usually
occurring in our second fiscal quarter (October through December). We attribute this seasonality
primarily to the budgeting procedures of our customers and the seasonal demand for our products,
which have historically been driven by spring and summer sports. Generally, between the months of
October and December of each fiscal year, our sales are lower due to the lower level of sports
activities at our institutional customer base, a higher degree of adverse weather conditions and a
greater number of school recesses and major holidays. We have somewhat mitigated this sales
reduction during the second quarter by marketing our products through the websites of large
retailers. Retail customers order the products from the retailers websites and we ship the
products to the retailers customers. We believe that our acquisitions of our team dealers
(Kesslers, Dixie, OTS and Salkeld), which have a greater focus on fall and winter sports, have
reduced the seasonality of our financial results. However, Old SSGs results of operations, which
follow the selling pattern of the Companys traditional catalog operations, have and will continue
to affect our financial results by increasing our operating profit in our third and fourth fiscal
quarters (January through June).
Our sales are made primarily pursuant to standard purchase orders. Our backlog of unfulfilled
orders as of June 30, 2008 was approximately $17.5 million as compared to $18.6 million at June 30,
2007. We anticipate our backlog will increase in fiscal 2009 and future periods as we continue to
sell more soft goods, which generally have a longer lead-time for delivery generally, six to
eight weeks between order placement and delivery. Our products are either shipped directly to our
customers by either our manufacturing vendors partners or by us upon our completion of all
decorating work.
Manufacturing; Foreign Sourcing and Raw Materials
We are now sourcing many of the products previously manufactured by us, including products
such as basketball standards, certain soccer goals, volleyball systems, badminton systems, fitness
equipment, etc. Products have been sourced to both domestic and international vendors. Sourcing
these products has enabled us to (i) reduce our cost of goods in many of these products, (ii)
reduce our manufacturing facility costs, (iii) reduce many selling prices to our customers, (iv)
improve our remaining manufacturing efficiencies by focusing on longer production runs of fewer
products, and (v) focus our efforts on marketing, distribution and technology, which we believe are
our strengths. Sourcing these products also requires us to carry more inventory due to the longer
lead times from overseas. We believe selling products to our customers at more competitive prices
will have a positive impact on our revenue base and our operating profit.
In addition, we believe many of the products we purchase from our domestic suppliers are also
sourced from overseas, and we derive a significant portion of our revenues from the sale of
products purchased directly from suppliers in the Far East. Accordingly, we are subject to the
risks of this international component that may affect our ability to deliver products in a timely
and competitive manner. These risks include:
|
|
|
shipment delays;
|
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in exchange rates that result in our suppliers charging higher prices;
|
|
|
|
|
increases in freight cost and import duties;
|
|
|
|
|
increases in import cost of goods;
|
- 8 -
|
|
|
changes in customs regulations;
|
|
|
|
|
adverse economic conditions in foreign countries;
|
|
|
|
|
social, political and economic instability;
|
|
|
|
|
acts of war and terrorism;
|
|
|
|
|
strikes by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (the
ILWU
)
(union of dock workers that move cargo, such as import containers, along the West
Coast);
|
|
|
|
|
lockout of the ILWU by the Pacific Maritime Association (group of global ship
owners and terminal operators); and
|
|
|
|
|
having to carry extra inventory due to long lead times for receiving products.
|
As a result, we attempt to maintain an adequate supply of critical inventory items. We are
not dependent on any single source of supply. Although the vast majority of products we distribute
are purchased in final form, a small percentage of the items require some fabrication to complete.
We own welding machines and an assortment of tools to aid in this fabrication process. The raw
materials used in this process are in the form of shipping supplies, nuts and bolts, and other
commercially available products. We believe multiple suppliers exist for these products nationwide.
Competition
We compete principally in the institutional market with local sporting goods dealers and other
direct mail companies. We compete on a number of factors, including price, relationships with
customers, name recognition, product availability and quality of service. We believe we have an
advantage in the institutional market over traditional sporting goods retailers because our selling
prices do not include comparable price markups attributable to wholesalers, manufacturers and
distributors. In addition, we believe we have an advantage over other direct mail marketers and
team dealers of sporting goods because we offer a wider array of proprietary products, coupled with
prompt and accessible service, at the most competitive prices.
Government Regulation
Some of our products are subject to regulation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The
Consumer Product Safety Commission has the authority to exclude from the market certain items that
are found to be hazardous and can require a manufacturer to refund the purchase price of products
that present a substantial product hazard to consumers. Similar laws exist in some states and
cities in the United States. The Company believes it is in full compliance with all applicable
regulations.
Employees
We currently employ approximately 762 people on a full-time basis compared to 776 employees on
a full-time basis at the end of fiscal 2007. In addition, we may hire temporary employees as
seasonal increases in demand occur. Our employees are not represented by any organized labor
organization or union, and we believe our relations with our employees are generally good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
There are many risk factors that affect Sport Supply Groups business and the results of its
operations, some of which are beyond the Companys control. The following is a description of some
of
the important risk factors that may cause the actual results of Sport Supply Groups
operations in future periods to differ substantially from those currently expected or desired.
Also see Item 3 Legal Proceedings.
Weak general economic conditions may adversely impact our business.
The United States and other countries in which we source raw materials and finished goods are
currently experiencing a general economic downturn. This downturn and any similar poor market
conditions that may occur in the future may increase our cost of doing business and
otherwise adversely impact our operating results. For example, a weak general economic market may,
among other things, result in:
|
|
|
reduced school and other government supported budgets;
|
|
|
|
|
increased costs for raw materials and imported products; and
|
|
|
|
|
higher fuel costs and fuel surcharges imposed by our suppliers and by the third-party
carriers upon which we rely to deliver our catalogs and products.
|
In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to pass increased costs on to our
customers without further adversely impacting our operating results.
We are dependent on competitive pricing from our suppliers.
The general economic conditions in the United States or international countries in which we do
business could affect pricing of raw materials such as metals and other commodities used by
suppliers of our finished goods. For example, we import many products from China and are
experiencing material price increases for many of our products. We believe these increased costs
are a result of a number of factors including, but not limited to, escalating raw material and fuel
costs, the devaluation of the dollar, new labor laws, labor shortages, rising wages for labor and
the elimination of subsidies from the Chinese government. We cannot assure you that any price
increase we incur for our products can be passed on to our customers without adversely affecting
our operating results, although we aggressively make every attempt to do so.
Our success depends upon our ability to develop new, and enhance our existing relationships with,
customers and suppliers.
Our success depends upon our ability to develop new, and enhance our existing relationships
with, customers and suppliers. In our industry, retaining customers and developing new customers
includes several risks. To address these risks, we must, among other things:
|
|
|
effectively develop new relationships and maintain and better penetrate existing
relationships with our suppliers, advertisers and customers;
|
|
|
|
|
provide quality products at competitive prices;
|
|
|
|
|
respond to competitive developments;
|
|
|
|
|
attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and
|
|
|
|
|
anticipate and respond to merchandise trends and consumer demands.
|
We cannot assure you we will succeed in addressing such risks. Our failure to do so could
have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations in the
form of lower revenues and operating profit and higher operating costs.
- 10 -
We may be unable to make acquisitions on attractive terms or successfully integrate them into our
operations.
We expect to continue to evaluate and, where appropriate, pursue acquisition opportunities on
terms our management considers favorable to us. We cannot assure you we will be able to identify
suitable acquisitions in the future, or we will be able to purchase or finance these acquisitions
on favorable terms or at all. In addition, we compete against other companies for acquisitions,
and we cannot assure you we will be successful in the acquisition of any companies appropriate for
our growth strategy. Further, we cannot assure you any future acquisitions that we make will be
integrated successfully into our operations or will achieve the desired profitability.
Acquisitions involve a number of risks, including:
|
|
|
the difficulties related to assimilating the management, products, personnel,
financial controls and other systems of an acquired business and to integrating
distribution and information systems and other operational capabilities;
|
|
|
|
|
the difficulties related to combining previously separate businesses into a single
unit;
|
|
|
|
|
the substantial diversion of managements attention from day-to-day operations;
|
|
|
|
|
the assumption of liabilities of an acquired business, including unforeseen
liabilities;
|
|
|
|
|
unanticipated costs associated with business acquisitions;
|
|
|
|
|
the failure to realize anticipated benefits, such as cost savings, revenue
enhancements and profitability objectives;
|
|
|
|
|
the dilution of existing stockholders due to the issuance of equity securities,
utilization of cash reserves, or incurrence of debt in order to fund the acquisitions;
|
|
|
|
|
the potential to have to write-down or write-off the value of acquired assets;
|
|
|
|
|
the potential substantial transaction costs associated with completed acquisitions
or cost of pursuing acquisitions that are not completed;
|
|
|
|
|
the loss of any key personnel of the acquired company; and
|
|
|
|
|
maintaining customer, supplier or other favorable business relationships of
acquired operations.
|
Our success depends on our ability to manage our growth.
We believe improvements in management and operational controls, and operations, financial and
management information systems could be needed to manage future growth. We cannot assure you that:
|
|
|
these resources will be available, or be available in a cost-effective form, to us
which will allow us to sustain growth at the same levels;
|
|
|
|
|
our current personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support
our future operations; or
|
|
|
|
|
we will identify, hire, train, motivate or manage required personnel.
|
Our failure to have these resources in sufficient form or quantity during a period of
significant growth could have an adverse effect on our operating results.
- 11 -
We face intense competition and potential competition from companies with greater resources and our
inability to compete effectively with these companies could harm our business.
The market for sporting goods and related equipment in which we compete is highly competitive,
especially as to product innovation and availability, performance and styling, price, customer
relationships, name recognition, marketing, delivery and quality of service. We compete
principally in the institutional market with local sporting goods dealers and other direct mail
companies. Some of our competitors may have:
|
|
|
substantially greater financial resources;
|
|
|
|
|
a larger customer base;
|
|
|
|
|
a broader line of product offerings; and
|
|
|
|
|
greater name recognition within the industry.
|
In addition, our competitors may have larger technical, sales and marketing resources.
Further, there are no significant technological or capital barriers to entry into the markets for
many sporting goods and recreational products. Our competitors may be able to secure products from
vendors on terms that are more favorable, fulfill customer orders more efficiently, or adopt more
aggressive pricing or inventory availability policies. We cannot give you assurance we will
compete successfully against our competitors in the future.
The weak financial conditions of some of our customers may adversely affect our business.
We monitor the credit worthiness of our customer base on an ongoing basis, and we have not
experienced an abnormal increase in losses in our accounts receivable portfolio. We believe our
allowances for losses adequately reflect the risk of future loss in our portfolio. However, a
change in the economic condition or in the make-up of our customer base could have an adverse
affect on losses associated with the credit terms we give to our customers that would adversely
affect our cash flow and involve significant risks of nonpayment.
Our financial results vary from quarter to quarter, which could hurt our business and the market
price of our stock.
Various factors affect our quarterly operating results and some of them are not within our
control. They include, among others:
|
|
|
seasonal fluctuations in demand for our products;
|
|
|
|
|
the timing and introduction of new products by us and our competitors;
|
|
|
|
|
the market acceptance of our products;
|
|
|
|
|
the mix of products sold;
|
- 12 -
|
|
|
the timing of significant orders from and shipments to customers;
|
|
|
|
|
the reduction, rescheduling or cancellation of orders by our customers;
|
|
|
|
|
product pricing and discounts;
|
|
|
|
|
the timing of our acquisitions of other companies and businesses; and
|
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions.
|
These and other factors are likely to cause our financial results to fluctuate from quarter to
quarter. If revenue or operating results fall short of the levels expected by public market
analysts and investors, the trading price of our common stock could decline dramatically. Based on
the foregoing, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not
be meaningful. Purchasers of our common stock should not view our historical results of operations
as reliable indications of our future performance.
Seasonality of our business may adversely affect our net sales and operating income.
Seasonal demand for our products and the budgeting procedures of many of our customers cause
our financial results to vary from quarter to quarter. We generally experience lower net sales and
higher expenses as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of each fiscal year (October 1 -
December 31) due to lower customer demand during those periods of decreased sports activities,
adverse weather conditions inhibiting customer demand, holiday seasons, school recesses, and higher
sales and earnings in the remaining quarters of the fiscal year.
State and local sales tax collection may affect demand for our products.
We collect and remit sales tax in states in which we have a physical presence or in which we
believe nexus exists, which obligates us to collect sales tax. Other states may, from time to time,
claim we have state-related activities constituting a sufficient nexus to require such collection.
Additionally, many other states seek to impose sales tax collection obligations on companies that
sell goods to customers in their state, or directly to the state and its political subdivisions,
even without a physical presence. Such efforts by states have increased recently, as states seek to
raise revenues without increasing the tax burden on residents, and one state is currently asserting
such a claim against us. We rely, as do other direct mail retailers, on United States Supreme Court
decisions which hold that, without Congressional authority, a state may not enforce a sales tax
collection obligation on a company that has no physical presence in the state and whose only
contacts with the state are through the use of interstate commerce such as the mailing of catalogs
into the state and the delivery of goods by mail or common carrier. We cannot predict whether the
nature or level of contacts we have with a particular state will be deemed enough to require us to
collect sales tax in that state nor can we be assured that Congress or individual states will not
approve legislation authorizing states to impose tax collection obligations on all direct mail
and/or e-commerce transactions. A successful assertion by one or more states that we should collect
sales tax on the sale of merchandise could result in substantial tax liabilities related to past
sales and would result in considerable administrative burdens and costs for us and may reduce
demand for our products from customers in such states when we charge customers for such taxes.
We depend on key personnel for our future success.
Our performance is substantially dependent on the skills, experience, and performance of our
Chief Executive Officer, Adam Blumenfeld, as well as our ability to retain and motivate other
officers and key employees, especially our road sales professionals, certain of whom would be
difficult to replace. We neither have an employment agreement with Adam Blumenfeld nor do we carry
key person life
insurance on any of our officers or employees.
- 13 -
Our ability to retain and expand our customer base depends on our ability to maintain strong
relationships with our road sales professionals. Consequently, the loss of one or more key road
sales professionals could result in our loss of the customer relationships maintained by the
departing road sales professionals, which could materially adversely affect our net sales and
results of operations. We believe we currently have a good relationship with our road sales
professionals.
We depend on international and domestic suppliers.
A significant amount of our revenues is dependent upon products purchased from foreign
suppliers, which are located primarily in the Far East. In addition, we believe that many of the
products we purchase from our domestic suppliers are manufactured overseas.
Accordingly, we are subject to the risks of international business, including:
|
|
|
shipment delays;
|
|
|
|
|
fluctuation in exchange rates that result in our suppliers charging higher prices;
|
|
|
|
|
increases in import duties;
|
|
|
|
|
increases in freight cost;
|
|
|
|
|
changes in customs regulations;
|
|
|
|
|
adverse economic conditions in foreign countries;
|
|
|
|
|
social, political and economic instability;
|
|
|
|
|
acts of war and terrorism;
|
|
|
|
|
strikes by the ILWU (union of dock workers that move cargo, such as import
containers, along the West Coast);
|
|
|
|
|
lockout of the ILWU by the Pacific Maritime Association (group of global ship
owners and terminal operators); and
|
|
|
|
|
having to carry extra inventory due to long lead times for receiving products.
|
The occurrence of any one or more of the events described above could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations due to an inability to make timely
shipments to our customers.
We depend on a large number of domestic suppliers for our finished goods.
We are dependent on a large number of domestic suppliers for our finished goods. Any
significant delay in the delivery of products by our domestic suppliers combined with our inability
to obtain substitute sources for these products in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to us
could significantly increase our backlog and could result in the cancellation of customer orders,
damage our customer relationships and harm our operating results.
- 14 -
We depend on third-party carriers to deliver our catalogs and products.
Our operations depend upon third-party carriers to deliver our catalogs and products to our
customers. We ship our products using common carriers, primarily UPS and ABF. The operations of
such carriers are outside our control. Accordingly, our business reputation and operations are
subject to certain risks, including:
|
|
|
shipment delays caused by such carriers;
|
|
|
|
|
labor strikes by the employees of such carriers;
|
|
|
|
|
increases in shipping costs, fuel surcharges and postage rates;
|
|
|
|
|
increased catalog cost due to increased postage rates; and
|
|
|
|
|
other adverse economic conditions.
|
The occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations due to an inability to make timely shipments to our
customers or by utilizing other more costly carriers or means of shipping.
We have in the past, and may continue to be subject to product liability claims if people or
property are harmed by the products we sell.
Some of the products we sell have in the past, and may continue to expose us to product
liability claims relating to personal injury, death, or property damage caused by such products,
and may require us to take actions such as product recalls. Although we maintain liability
insurance, we cannot be certain our coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or
insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all. In
addition, some of our vendor agreements with our distributors, manufacturers and third party
sellers do not indemnify us from product liability. The Company believes it has adequate insurance
coverage in the event of a product liability claim and no reserves in excess of its insurance
coverage have been established. In the event of a product liability claim exceeding the Companys
insurance coverage, the Company could suffer financial losses, which could have a material adverse
effect on the operating results of the Company.
We have a material amount of goodwill and may be required to recognize future intangible impairment
charges.
Approximately $60.5 million, or 36.1%, of our total assets as of June 30, 2008 represented
intangible assets, the significant majority of which is goodwill. Goodwill is the amount by which
the costs of an acquisition accounted for using the purchase method exceeds the fair value of the
net assets we acquired. We are required to record goodwill as an intangible asset on our balance
sheet.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth fiscal quarter, in accordance with
Statement of Accounting Standards No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
(SFAS 142).
Based on the annual impairment tests performed in the fourth fiscal quarter, there was no
impairment indicated for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 or 2006. The Company reviews
amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, in accordance with Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
(SFAS
144). If such a review should indicate the carrying amount of amortizable intangible assets is not
recoverable, the Company reduces the carrying amount of such assets to fair value. The Company
reviews non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment annually during the fourth fiscal quarter,
or more frequently if circumstances dictate, in accordance with
SFAS 144. No impairment of intangible assets was required for the years ended June 30, 2008,
2007 or 2006.
- 15 -
Disruptions to our business, protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in
operating results and market capitalization declines may result in charges for goodwill and other
intangible asset impairments. Reductions in our net income caused by the write-down of goodwill or
intangible assets could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
Our operations are largely dependent on our information technology systems, which require
significant expenditures and entail risk.
We rely on a variety of information technology systems in our operations and our success is
largely dependent on the accuracy and proper use of these systems. In connection with managing our
growth, we continually evaluate the adequacy of our systems and procedures and anticipate we will
regularly need to make capital expenditures to update and modify our management information
systems, including software and hardware, as we grow and the needs of our business change. The
occurrence of a significant system failure, electrical or telecommunications outages or our failure
to expand or successfully implement or integrate new systems, including those of businesses we have
acquired or may acquire in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations.
In addition, our information systems networks, including our website, and applications could
be adversely affected by viruses and worms and may be vulnerable to malicious acts such as hacking.
Although we take preventative measures, these procedures may not be sufficient to avoid harm to
our operations, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Risks Related to our Corporate Structure and Stock
Our stock price could be subject to significant volatility.
The price of our common stock is determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many
factors, including:
|
|
|
the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
investor perception of our company and the industry within which we compete;
|
|
|
|
|
analysts expectations for our future performance and our ability to meet such
expectations;
|
|
|
|
|
quarterly variations in operating results; and
|
|
|
|
|
general economic and market conditions.
|
Historically, the weekly trading volume of our common stock has been relatively small. Any
material increase in public float could have a significant impact on the price of our common stock.
In addition, the stock market has occasionally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations
that often affect market prices for smaller companies. These extreme price and volume fluctuations
often are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the affected companies.
Accordingly, the price of our common stock could be affected by such fluctuations.
- 16 -
A large number of our outstanding shares and shares to be issued upon exercise of our outstanding
options may be sold into the market in the future, which could cause the market price of our common
stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
A substantial number of shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to stock
options. As of June 30, 2008, we had 1,243,150 outstanding options, each to purchase one share of
our common stock, issued to key employees, officers and directors under our Amended and restated
2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
Amended and Restated Plan
). The options have exercise
prices ranging from $3.89 per share to $14.34 per share. In addition, on July 2, 2008,
approximately 303 thousand additional options were granted to certain employees of the Company.
The exercise of outstanding options could have a significant adverse effect on the trading price of
our common stock, especially if a significant number were to be exercised and the stock issued was
immediately sold into the public market. Also, on July 10, 2008, approximately 57 thousand
restricted shares of common stock were granted under the Amended and Restated Plan to certain
directors and executives of the Company. The exercise of outstanding options and the vesting of
restricted stock could have a dilutive impact on other shareholders by decreasing their relative
ownership percentage of our outstanding common stock.
Four principal stockholders own a significant amount of our outstanding common stock.
Based on the number of outstanding shares of our common stock as of August 20, 2008, Carlson
Capital LP beneficially owns 2,709,600 shares of our common stock, or 21.9%, CBT Holdings, LLC
beneficially owns 2,467,826 shares of our common stock, or 20.0% (including 423,754 shares issuable
upon conversion of our notes), Skystone Advisors LLC beneficially owns 1,175,504 shares of our
common stock, or 9.5%, and Wellington Management Company LLP beneficially owns 1,378,507 shares of
our common stock, or 11.2%. As a result, these stockholders are in a position to influence
significantly the outcome of elections of our directors, the adoption, amendment or repeal of our
bylaws and any other actions requiring the vote or consent of our stockholders.
Rights of our stockholders may be negatively affected if we issue any of the shares of preferred
stock, which our Board of Directors has authority to issue.
We have available for issuance 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0l per share.
Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue any or all of this preferred stock, in one or more
series, without any further action on the part of stockholders. The rights of our stockholders may
be negatively affected if we issue a series of preferred stock in the future that has preference
over our common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or distribution upon our
liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Risks Related to the Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2009
We significantly increased our leverage because of the sale of the notes.
In connection with the sale of the notes in fiscal 2005, we incurred $50 million of
indebtedness. Because of this indebtedness, our principal and interest payment obligations
increased substantially. The degree to which we are leveraged could materially and adversely
affect our ability to obtain financing for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes and
could make us more vulnerable to industry downturns and competitive pressures. Our ability to meet
our debt service obligations is dependent upon our future performance, which is subject to
financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our
control.
On July 7, 2008 and August 13, 2008, we purchased approximately $1.5 million and $4.0
million, respectively, of our 5.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the
Notes
). The Notes were purchased at a discounted price of $95.25 and $95.50,
respectively, per $100 value of the Notes. We paid approximately $1.4 million and $3.9 million,
respectively, in principal and accrued interest.
- 17 -
The notes are subordinated and there are no financial covenants in the indenture.
The notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future
senior debt of the Company. Under the terms of the indenture, we may also incur additional
senior debt from time to time. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or
upon acceleration of the notes due to an event of default under the indenture and in certain other
events, we will not be able to repay the notes until after we have satisfied all of our senior debt
obligations. As a result, we may not have sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or
all of the outstanding notes.
The notes are also effectively subordinated to the liabilities, including trade payables, of
our subsidiaries. As a result, our right to receive assets of any subsidiaries upon their
liquidation or reorganization, and the rights of the holders of the notes to share in those assets,
would be subject to the claims of the creditors of the subsidiaries.
Our subsidiaries are not restricted from incurring additional debt or liabilities under the
indenture. In addition, we are not restricted from paying dividends, issuing, or repurchasing our
securities under the indenture. If we or our subsidiaries were to incur additional debt or
liabilities, our ability to pay our obligations on the notes could be adversely affected. As of
June 30, 2008, we had outstanding $0 million under our revolving credit facility, $50 million from
the sale of the notes, and an aggregate amount of other indebtedness and liabilities of
approximately $38.4 million (excluding intercompany liabilities, which are not required to be
recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with US GAAP).
We may be unable to repay, repurchase or redeem the notes.
At maturity in December 2009, the entire outstanding principal amount of the notes will become
due and payable by us. Upon a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, the holders may
require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes. We may not have enough funds or be able to
arrange for additional financing to pay the principal at maturity or to repurchase the notes
tendered by the holders. Our credit facility provides that a fundamental change constitutes an
event of default. Future credit agreements or other agreements relating to our indebtedness might
contain similar provisions. If the maturity date or a fundamental change occurs at a time when we
are prohibited from repaying or repurchasing the notes, we could seek the consent of our lenders to
purchase the notes or could attempt to refinance this debt. If we do not obtain the necessary
consents or refinance the debt, we will be unable to repay or repurchase the notes. Our failure to
repay the notes at maturity or repurchase tendered notes would constitute an event of default under
the indenture, which might constitute a default under the terms of our other debt. In such
circumstances, or if a fundamental change would constitute an event of default under our senior
debt, the subordination provisions of the indenture would possibly limit or prohibit payments to
the holders of the notes. The term fundamental change is limited to certain specified
transactions and may not include other events that might harm our financial condition. Our
obligation to offer to purchase the notes upon a fundamental change would not necessarily afford
the holders of the notes protection in the event of a highly-leveraged transaction, reorganization,
merger or similar transaction involving us.
Provisions of the notes could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.
Certain provisions of the notes could make it more difficult or more expensive for a third
party to acquire us. Upon the occurrence of certain transactions constituting a fundamental
change, holders of the notes will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase all
of their notes or any portion of the principal amount of such notes in integral multiples of $1,000
in cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes to be repurchased, plus accrued
and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding the repurchase date, plus
the make whole premium, if applicable. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the notes, we may not
enter into certain mergers or acquisitions unless, among other things, the surviving person or
entity assumes the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including additional
interest, if any), plus the make whole premium, if applicable, on the notes.
- 18 -
The make whole premium on the notes tendered for repurchase upon a fundamental change may not
adequately compensate the holders for the lost option time value of notes.
If a fundamental change occurs and at least 90% of the consideration for the common stock in
the transaction or transactions constituting the fundamental change consists of cash, holders of
notes will be entitled to a make whole premium in cash in respect of notes tendered for purchase or
converted in connection with the fundamental change. The amount of the make whole premium will be
determined based on the date on which the fundamental change becomes effective and the share price
of common stock when the transaction constituting the fundamental change occurs. While the make
whole premium is designed to compensate the holders of notes for the lost option time value of
notes because of a fundamental change, the amount of the make whole premium is only an
approximation of the lost value and may not adequately compensate holders for such loss. In
addition, if the share price of common stock at the time of the transaction constituting the
fundamental change is less than $13.31 or more than $25.65, no make whole premium will be paid.
A market may not develop for the notes.
A market for the notes may not develop or, if one does develop, it may not be maintained. If
an active market for the notes fails to develop or be sustained, the trading price of the notes
could decline significantly.
Conversion of the notes or issuance of additional securities convertible into or exercisable for
shares of our common stock could dilute the ownership of existing stockholders.
The conversion of some or all of the notes could dilute the ownership interests of existing
stockholders. Any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such conversion
could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. In addition, the existence of
the notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the notes
could depress the price of our common stock. We may, in the future, sell additional shares of our
common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of our common stock, to
raise capital. We may also issue additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible
into or exercisable for shares of our common stock, to finance future acquisitions.
The price at which our common stock may be purchased on the Nasdaq Stock Market is currently lower
than the conversion price of the notes and may remain lower in the future.
Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol RBI. On August 20,
2008, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $11.57 per share. The initial
conversion price of the notes is approximately $14.65 per share. The market prices of our
securities are subject to significant fluctuations. Such fluctuations, as well as economic
conditions generally, may adversely affect the market price of our securities, including our common
stock and the notes.
The notes are not rated.
The notes are currently not rated. If, however, one or more rating agencies rate the notes
and assign the notes a rating lower than the rating expected by investors, or reduce their rating
in the future, the market price of the notes and our common stock would be harmed.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Our facilities and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, each of which is included in the
table below, are generally adequate for our current and anticipated future needs. Our facilities
generally consist of executive and administrative offices, warehouses, a call center, production,
distribution and fulfillment facilities and sales offices.
We believe all of our leases are at prevailing market rates and, except as noted, with
unaffiliated parties. We believe the duration of each lease is adequate and believe our principal
properties are adequate for the purposes for which they are used and are suitably maintained and
insured for these purposes. We do not anticipate any future problems renewing or obtaining
suitable leases for our principal properties.
The table below provides information with respect to the principal warehouse, production and
distribution facilities of the Company:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Background
Sport Supply Group is a marketer, manufacturer and distributor of sporting goods equipment,
physical education, recreational and leisure products and a marketer and distributor of soft goods,
primarily to the institutional market in the United States. The institutional market generally
consists of youth sports programs, YMCAs, YWCAs, park and recreational organizations, schools,
colleges, churches, government agencies, athletic teams, athletic clubs and dealers. We sell our
products directly to our customers primarily through the distribution of our unique, informative
catalogs and fliers, our strategically located road sales professionals, our telemarketers and the
Internet. We offer a broad line of sporting goods and equipment, soft goods and other recreational
products, as well as provide after-sale customer service. We currently market approximately 18.5
thousand sports related equipment products, soft goods and recreational related products to
institutional, retail and internet customers. We market our products through the support of a
customer database of over 400 thousand potential customers, our 193 person direct sales force
strategically located throughout the Mid-Western and Mid-Atlantic United States, and our call
centers located at our headquarters in Farmers Branch, Texas, Corona, California in the Los Angeles
basin, and Richmond, Virginia.
Overview
We believe a consolidation of the sporting goods industry has contributed to a shift of sales
within the institutional market from traditional, retail storefront sites to sales from catalogs,
direct marketing by road sales professionals and the Internet. Sport Supply Group believes the
most successful sporting goods companies will be those with greater financial resources and the
ability to produce or source high-quality, low cost products, deliver those products directly to
customers on a timely basis and access distribution channels with a broad array of products and
brands.
Sport Supply Group has embarked upon an aggressive program to leverage its existing operations
and to complement and diversify its product offerings within the sporting goods and recreational
products industry. We intend to implement our internal growth strategy by continuing to improve
operating efficiencies, extending our product offerings through new product launches and maximizing
our distribution channels. In addition, Sport Supply Group may continue to seek strategic
acquisitions and relationships with other sporting goods companies with well-established brands and
with complimentary distribution channels.
Sourcing products from overseas vendors has historically enabled the Company to reduce our
cost of goods in many products we sell. However, fuel and rising raw material costs and the
devaluation of the United States dollar will likely increase our product costs in future periods.
Sport Supply Group continues to review catalog and product pricing to offset these increases when
competitively possible. We are also seeking alternative sources to reduce these cost increases.
Historically, sales of our sporting goods have experienced seasonal fluctuations. This
seasonality causes our financial results to vary from quarter to quarter, which usually results in
lower net sales and operating profit in the second quarter of our fiscal year (October through
December) and higher net sales and operating profit in the remaining quarters of our fiscal year.
We attribute this seasonality primarily to the budgeting procedures of our customers and the
seasonal demand for our products, which have historically been driven by spring and summer sports.
Generally, between the months of October and December of each fiscal year, there is a lower level
of sports activities at our non-retail institutional customer base, a higher degree of adverse
weather conditions and a greater number of school recesses and major holidays. We believe the
operations of our team dealers, which have a greater focus on fall and winter sports, have reduced
the seasonality of our financial results. We have also somewhat mitigated this sales reduction
during the second quarter by marketing our products through the websites of large retailers.
Retail customers order the
products from the retailers websites and we ship the products to the retailers customers.
- 24 -
Sport Supply Group has begun to see results from its efforts reflected in its financial
performance. Net sales for fiscal 2008 totaled $251.4 million compared to $236.9 million in fiscal
2007, an increase of $14.5 million, or 6.1%. Gross profit increased $7.5 million to $91.1 million
in fiscal 2008. Gross profit percentage increased to 36.2% in fiscal 2008 from 35.3% in fiscal
2007. The $7.5 million increase in gross profit is primarily due to a combination of an increase in
sales volume from both our catalog and team dealer groups, a shift toward a more profitable product
mix by our road sales professionals through greater sales of the Companys proprietary products,
improvements in manufacturing efficiencies and a 90 basis point improvement in overall gross profit
percentage.
Operating profit for fiscal 2008 increased to $19.7 million, or 7.8% of net sales, compared to
operating profit of $12.7 million, or 5.4% of net sales, in fiscal 2007. The increase in operating
profit and operating profit as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2008 reflects higher sales volume
and improved gross profit percentage ($7.5 million), partially offset by higher selling, general
and administrative expenses ($509 thousand).
Net sales for fiscal 2007 totaled $236.9 million compared to $224.2 million in fiscal 2006, an
increase of $12.7 million, or 5.6%. Gross profit increased $8.5 million to $83.6 million in fiscal
2007. Gross profit margin increased to 35.3% in fiscal 2007 from 33.5% in fiscal 2006. The
increase in our gross profit percentage in fiscal 2007 was due primarily to our catalog business,
which experienced a gross profit margin of 37.2% through improved pricing discipline and higher
sales of products the Company manufactures, which historically carry higher margins. Operating
profit for fiscal 2007 increased to $12.7 million, or 5.4% of net sales, compared to operating
profit of $8.3 million, or 3.7% of net sales, in fiscal 2006. The increase in operating profit and
operating profit as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2007 reflects higher sales volume and improved
gross profit percentage, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
During fiscal 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, Sport Supply Group made significant progress
towards achieving its strategic objectives as follows:
|
|
|
We completed the following acquisition during fiscal 2007:
|
|
|
|
acquired the remaining 26.8% of the outstanding capital stock of Old SSG.
|
|
|
|
We completed the following two acquisitions during fiscal 2006:
|
|
|
|
acquired 73.2% of the outstanding capital stock of Old SSG, a direct marketer
and B2B e-commerce supplier of sporting goods and physical education equipment to the
institutional and youth sports markets; and
|
|
|
|
|
acquired the operating assets of Team Print, a leading embroiderer and screen
printer of sporting goods apparel and accessories.
|
|
|
|
We completed the following three acquisitions during fiscal 2005:
|
|
|
|
acquired Dixie in July 2004, a leading supplier of soft goods and sporting
goods equipment throughout the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, with a road
sales force of approximately 56 employees at the date of acquisition;
|
|
|
|
|
acquired OTS in December 2004, a leading supplier of soft goods and sporting
goods equipment throughout the State of Florida and a road sales force of approximately
13 employees at the date of acquisition; and
|
|
|
|
|
acquired Salkeld in May 2005, a leading supplier of soft goods and sporting
goods equipment throughout the State of Illinois, with a particular concentration in
Chicago and a road sales force of approximately 13 employees at the date of
acquisition.
|
- 25 -
|
|
|
We completed the following two acquisitions during fiscal 2004:
|
|
|
|
acquired Tomark in January 2004, a marketer, distributor, manufacturer and
installer of sporting goods and related equipment primarily to the California
institutional market with a road sales force of approximately 8 employees at the date
of acquisition; and
|
|
|
|
|
acquired Kesslers in April 2004, a leading supplier of soft goods and sporting
goods equipment throughout the Mid-West region of the United States, with a road sales
force of approximately 85 employees at the date of acquisition.
|
|
|
|
Each year we expanded our football and baseball product offerings, which provide the
Company with additional products for future growth opportunities.
|
|
|
|
|
Since 2005, through our acquisition of Kesslers, Dixie, OTS and Salkeld, we engaged
approximately 167 road sales professionals and continued our ongoing efforts to grow net
sales by directing a selection of our traditional catalog customers to our road sales
professionals.
|
|
|
|
|
In fiscal 2008, we transferred the listing of our common stock to the Nasdaq Stock
Market from the American Stock Exchange to provide the Company with enhanced exposure and
liquidity.
|
|
|
|
|
In fiscal 2008 we successfully integrated the operations of the formerly known
Collegiate Pacific Inc. onto Old SSGs SAP ERP platform, which enhanced the Companys
operating efficiencies and technological capabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
We completed a private placement of $50.0 million of convertible senior subordinated
notes in November 2004; we replaced our senior secured facility with a new senior secured
credit facility providing up to $25.0 million in the aggregate of loans and other
financial accommodations with an accordion feature that could potentially expand total
availability to $55.0 million; and in July 2007, we sold 1,830,000 shares of our common
stock in a private placement, using the proceeds to pay down the senior secured facility.
These new sources of capital provide us more opportunity and flexibility to make progress
toward our strategic objectives.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2007
Net Sales.
Net sales for fiscal 2008 totaled $251.4 million compared to $236.9 million in
fiscal 2007, an increase of $14.5 million, or 6.1%. The increase in net sales was primarily
attributable to a $9.2 million increase in catalog group sales and a $5.4 million increase in sales
from the Companys team dealer group through its road sales force.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit for fiscal 2008 increased $7.5 million to $91.1 million, or 36.2%
of net sales, compared with $83.6 million, or 35.3% of net sales, in fiscal 2007. The $7.5 million
increase in gross profit is primarily due to a combination of an increase in sales volume from our
catalog and team dealer groups, a shift toward a more profitable product mix of the Companys
proprietary products by our road sales professionals and improvements in manufacturing
efficiencies.
The acquisition and manufacturing costs of inventory, the cost of shipping and handling
(freight costs) and any decrease in the value of inventory due to obsolescence or lower of cost or
market adjustments are included in the determination of cost of sales. Cost of sales for fiscal
2008 was $160.3 million, or 63.8% of net sales, compared to $153.3 million, or 64.7% of net sales,
in fiscal 2007. Cost of sales for fiscal 2008 consisted of $138.0 million for the purchase price
of our inventory sold, $18.0 million in outbound freight costs, $958 thousand for the reserve of
obsolete or damaged inventory and $3.3 million for labor and overhead costs associated with the
products we manufacture.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense.
Selling, general and administrative
(
SG&A
) expenses for fiscal 2008 were $71.4 million, or 28.4% of net sales, compared with
$70.9 million, or 29.9% of net sales, in fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2008, SG&A expenses primarily
consisted of the following:
|
|
|
personnel and group insurance related expenses (including group insurance) of
approximately $41.1 million;
|
|
|
|
|
advertising and catalog production expenses of approximately $6.5 million;
|
|
|
|
|
depreciation and amortization of approximately $3.6 million;
|
|
|
|
|
rent expense of approximately $2.6 million;
|
|
|
|
|
computer services and supplies of approximately $2.6 million;
|
|
|
|
|
travel expenses of approximately $2.0 million;
|
|
|
|
|
legal and accounting fees of approximately $1.6 million;
|
|
|
|
|
outside professional services expenses of approximately $1.3 million;
|
|
|
|
|
bank and credit card processing charges of approximately $1.2 million;
|
|
|
|
|
general insurance related expenses of approximately $1.0 million; and
|
|
|
|
|
bad debt expenses of approximately $1.0 million.
|
- 27 -
The $509 thousand increase in SG&A expenses the Company experienced during fiscal 2008
compared to fiscal 2007 was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel related expenses,
including variable commission costs, of $3.1 million to support sales growth, partially offset by a
decrease of $1.1
million in advertising and catalog production expenses, a decrease of $608 thousand in sales,
use, and general business tax expense primarily related to the collections and remittances of sales
taxes that were incorrect in years prior to 2007, and a decrease of $555 thousand related to legal
and accounting fees.
Operating Profit.
Operating profit for fiscal 2008 increased to $19.7 million, or 7.8% of net
sales, compared to operating profit of $12.7 million, or 5.4% of net sales, in fiscal 2007. The
increase in operating profit and operating profit as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2008 reflects
higher sales volume and improved gross profit percentage, partially offset by higher selling,
general and administrative expenses.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense for fiscal 2008 decreased to $4.1 million, compared to $6.0
million in fiscal 2007. The $1.9 million decrease in interest expense is attributable to reduced
borrowings under the Companys revolving credit facility. The Company had no borrowings
outstanding under the Companys revolving credit facility at June 30, 2008.
Minority Interest
. Minority interest of $531 thousand for fiscal 2007 reflects income
attributable to the prior minority ownership in Old SSG.
Income Taxes.
Income tax expense for fiscal 2008 was $6.3 million, which is approximately
39.2% of our income before income taxes, compared to $2.6 million, which was approximately 37.5% of
our income before income taxes for fiscal 2007. The increase in income tax expense is primarily
attributable to the increase in operating profit before tax during the period.
Net Income.
Net income for fiscal 2008 increased to $9.7 million, or 3.9% of net sales,
compared to net income of $3.9 million, or 1.6% of net sales, in fiscal 2007.
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2006
Net Sales.
Net sales for fiscal 2007 totaled $236.9 million compared to $224.2 million in
fiscal 2006, an increase of $12.7 million, or 5.7%. The increase in net sales was primarily
attributable to an increase in catalog and consumer direct Internet sales of $4.4 million, an
increase in the sale of soft goods and sporting equipment through our road sales force of $5.8
million, and an increase in freight collected from our customers and installation revenue of $2.4
million.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit for fiscal 2007 increased $8.5 million to $83.6 million, or 35.3%
of net sales, compared with $75.1 million, or 33.5% of net sales, in fiscal 2006. The $8.5 million
increase in gross profit is primarily due to a combination of an increase in sales volume, a more
profitable customer and better product mix.
Total cost of sales for fiscal 2007 was $153.3 million, or 64.7% of net sales, compared to
$149.2 million, or 66.5% of net sales, in fiscal 2006. Total cost of sales for fiscal 2007
consisted of $131.3 million for the acquisition cost of our inventory, $16.9 million in freight
costs, $1.8 million for the write-off of obsolete or damaged inventory and $3.3 million for labor
and overhead costs associated with the products we manufacture.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense.

for fiscal 2007 were $70.9
million, or 29.9% of net sales, compared with $66.8 million, or 29.8% of net sales, in fiscal 2006.

Sarbanes-Oxley related compliance costs of approximately $635 thousand; and
|
|
|
|
|
sales tax expenses of $871 thousand.
|
The $4.1 million increase in SG&A expenses we experienced during fiscal 2007 compared to
fiscal 2006 was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel related expenses of $3.6 million
to support sales growth, an increase in advertising expenses of $421 thousand to support sales
growth and a bad debt expense increase of $104 thousand related to managements ongoing assessment
of the quality of accounts receivable, offset by a decrease of $313 thousand in computer services
and supplies and a decrease in general insurance related expenses of $286 thousand.
Operating Profit.
Operating profit for fiscal 2007 increased to $12.7 million, or 5.4% of net
sales, compared to operating profit of $8.3 million, or 3.7% of net sales, in fiscal 2006. The
increase in operating profit was primarily attributable to the increase in net sales and gross
profit, which was partially offset by the increase in SG&A expenses during the period.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense for fiscal 2007 increased to $6.0 million, compared to $4.5
million in fiscal 2006. Interest expense increased due to increased borrowings under the Companys
revolving credit facility and notes payable to purchase the additional Old SSG shares. See
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Minority Interest
. Minority interest of $531 thousand and $608 thousand for fiscal 2007 and
2006, respectively, reflects income attributable to the minority ownership in Old SSG.
Income Taxes.
Income tax expense for fiscal 2007 was $2.6 million, which is approximately
37.5% of our income before income taxes, compared to $1.6 million, which was approximately 39.0% of
our income before income taxes for fiscal 2006. The increase in income tax expense was primarily
attributable to the increase in operating profit before tax during the period. The rate decrease
in fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006 was due to alternative minimum tax in 2006 and a state
tax rate change in fiscal 2007.
Net Income.
Net income for fiscal 2007 increased to $3.9 million, or 1.6% of net sales,
compared to net income of $1.9 million, or 0.8% of net sales, in fiscal 2006.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents for fiscal 2008, compared to fiscal 2007, was
primarily attributable to improved operating results and net income over the prior comparable
period and to the Companys private sale of 1,830,000 shares of its common stock to CBT Holdings,
LLC (CBT Holdings) for $18.3 million on July 30, 2007. The Company used the proceeds from the
private placement for the prepayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility,
which is discussed below, and the payment of out-of-pocket costs and expenses of approximately $247
thousand incurred in connection with the private placement. The increase in cash for fiscal 2007,
as compared to fiscal 2006, was primarily attributable to increased net income, improved inventory
management and borrowings against the line of credit. This was partially offset by a subsequent
repayment of funds borrowed to consummate the acquisition of the remaining 26.8% of the capital
stock of Old SSG. The decrease in cash in fiscal 2006, as compared to fiscal 2005, was primarily
attributable to the acquisitions of Old SSG and Team Print.
Operating Activities.
Net cash flows from operating activities during fiscal 2008, 2007 and
2006 resulted primarily from net income, which represents our principal source of cash. Increases
in operating cash flows during fiscal 2008 compared to operating cash flows during fiscal 2007,
were attributable to:
|
|
|
net income of $9.7 million during fiscal 2008, compared to $3.9 million in fiscal
2007, which is attributable to increased sales for both the team dealer and catalog
groups, increased gross profit resulting from a shift toward a more profitable product
mix by our road sales professionals through greater sales of the Companys proprietary
products, improvements in manufacturing efficiencies, a 90 basis point improvement in
overall gross profit percentage, and improved management of the companys SG&A
expenses;
|
|
|
|
|
an increase in accounts payable of $5.0 million during fiscal 2008, compared to a
$1.4 million increase in accounts payable during fiscal 2007, which is attributable
to improved management of the Companys financial resources;
|
|
|
|
|
a decrease in prepaid income taxes of $3.9 million during fiscal 2008, compared
to a $1.6 million increase in prepaid income taxes during fiscal 2007, which is
primarily attributable to $1.8 million in taxes refunded; and
|
Increases in operating cash flows were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable
of $3.9 million during fiscal 2008, compared to a $1.2 million increase in accounts receivable
during fiscal 2007, and an increase in inventories of $4.1 million during fiscal 2008, compared to
a $4.9 million decrease in inventories during fiscal 2007.
During fiscal 2008, we continued integrating the operations of Old SSG with those of the
Company. In that regard, we materially completed our efforts to consolidate its Farmers Branch,
Texas distribution, warehouse and assembly facilities. As a by-product of consolidating our
Farmers Branch, Texas
facilities, we were able to reduce the (i) amount of square footage leased and (ii) the number
of like SKUs we carry as well as outsource several SKUs, which, as anticipated, improved inventory
turns.
- 30 -
In addition, as we combine some of our catalog brands and divisions, we have reduced the
number of paper catalogs we distribute by as much as twenty-five percent and rely more heavily on
our telesales, Internet sales and road sales professionals to grow our net sales. We believe these
integration efforts will enhance our cash flows in future periods.
Investing Activities.
Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2008 was $1.7
million, compared to $27.9 million of cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2007.
Purchases of property and equipment during fiscal 2008 were $1.7 million and consisted primarily of
computer equipment and software. Although the Company continued to incur expenditures related to
the integration of the catalog operations to a single IT platform during fiscal 2008, the Company
substantially completed the integration project on June 30, 2007. During fiscal 2007, the Company
used approximately $24.9 million to complete its acquisition of the 26.8% of the capital stock of
Old SSG that it did not already own.
Financing Activities.
Net cash used in financing activities during fiscal 2008 was $6.3
million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $10.6 million during fiscal 2007.
The net decrease in cash used in financing activities during fiscal 2008 was primarily due to
payments on notes payable and the Companys revolving line of credit and term loan of $25.9
million.
Decreases in cash used in financing activities were partially offset by proceeds from the
issuance of common stock of approximately $19.5 million.
Current assets as of June 30, 2008 were approximately $96.0 million and current liabilities
were approximately $34.4 million, thereby providing the Company with working capital of
approximately $61.6 million.
Capital Resources
During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004, we sold $50.0 million principal amount of
5.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the
Notes
). The Notes were sold to
qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The issuance of the Notes resulted in aggregate proceeds of $46.6 million to the Company, net of
issuance costs.
The Notes are governed by the Indenture dated as of November 26, 2004 between the Company and
The Bank of New York Trust Company N.A., as trustee (the
Indenture
). The Indenture
provides, among other things, that the Notes will bear interest of 5.75% per year, payable
semi-annually, and will be convertible at the option of the holder of the Notes into the Companys
common stock at a conversion rate of 68.2594 shares per $1 thousand principal amount of Notes,
subject to certain adjustments. This is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $14.65
per share. The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption price, which is
100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to,
but excluding, the redemption date only if the closing price of the Companys common stock exceeds
150% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in any consecutive 30-day trading period.
Upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, holders may require the Company to
purchase all or a portion of the Notes in cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to, but
excluding, the repurchase date, plus the make whole premium, if applicable.
Under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement the Company entered into with the holders
of the Notes, the Company was required to file a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC
for the registration of the Notes and the shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes (the
Registration Statement
). On February 28, 2006, the SEC declared the Registration
Statement effective.
- 31 -
The Companys principal external source of liquidity is its $25 million amended and restated
senior secured credit facility (the
Amended Credit Agreement
) with Merrill Lynch
Commercial Finance Corp., formerly known as Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc.
(
MLCFC
), individually as a lender, as administrative agent, sole book runner and sole
lead manager, which is collateralized by all of the assets of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries.
On October 30, 2007, the Company entered into the Amended Credit Agreement with MLCFC,
individually and as a lender, as administrative agent, sole book runner and sole lead manager, and
Bank of America, N.A., as a lender. The Amended Credit Agreement replaces the Companys prior
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
Senior Credit Facility
), dated as of November
13, 2006, by and among the Company, MLCFC and the additional lenders from time to time parties
thereto. The Senior Credit Facility replaced the Companys June 29, 2006 Credit Agreement with
Merrill Lynch Capital, a division of MLCFC. The Amended Credit Agreement establishes a commitment
to provide the Company with a $25.0 million secured revolving credit facility through June 1, 2010
(the
Revolving Facility
) with an accordion feature that could potentially expand total
availability to $55.0 million.
On January 7, 2008, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 To Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (
Amendment No. 1
). Amendment No. 1 amended the Amended Credit Agreement to (i)
increase from $5 million to $10 million the allowed purchase, redemption, retirement, defeasance,
surrender, cancellation, termination or acquisition of any shares of the Companys common stock and
(ii) change the name of the lender from Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc. to Merrill
Lynch Commercial Finance Corp.
On July 30, 2008, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 To Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (
Amendment No. 2
). Amendment No. 2 amended the Amended Credit Agreement to
permit the repurchase of up to $15.0 million of Notes.
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had $0 outstanding under the Revolving Facility, thereby
leaving the Company with approximately $25 million of availability under the terms of the Amended
Credit Agreement.
All borrowings under the Revolving Facility will bear interest at either (a) LIBOR (London
Interbank Offered Rate) plus a spread ranging from 0.75% to 1.75%, with the amount of the spread at
any time based on the Companys ratio of total debt, excluding subordinated debt, to the Companys
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (
EBITDA
) (the
Senior
Leverage Ratio
) on a trailing 12-month basis, or (b) an alternative base rate equal to the
MLCFC prime rate plus an additional spread ranging from -0.75% to 0.25%, with the amount of the
spread at any time based on the Companys Senior Leverage Ratio on a trailing 12-month basis.
The Revolving Facility includes covenants that require the Company to maintain certain
financial ratios. The Companys Senior Leverage Ratio on a trailing 12-month basis may not exceed
2.50 to 1.00 at any time and the Companys ratio of EBITDA to the sum of the Companys fixed
charges (interest expense, taxes, cash dividends and scheduled principal payments) on a trailing
12-month basis (the
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
) must be at least 1.15 to 1.00 at all
times. The Revolving Facility also limits the amount the Company can disburse for capital
expenditures. At June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants
under the Revolving Facility.
The Revolving Facility is guaranteed by each of the Companys subsidiaries and is secured by,
among other things, a pledge of all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of each of the
Companys subsidiaries and a first priority perfected security interest on all of the assets of the
Company and each of its subsidiaries.
- 32 -
The Revolving Facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants
(affirmative and negative) and the Revolving Facility is subject to customary rights of the lenders
and the administrative agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default,
including, under certain circumstances, the right to accelerate payment of the loans made under the
Revolving Facility and the right to charge a default rate of interest on amounts outstanding under
the Revolving Facility.
On July 30, 2007, the Company privately sold 1,830,000 shares of its common stock to CBT
Holdings for $18.3 million. The Company used the proceeds from the private placement for the
prepayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility and the payment of
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the private placement.
Pursuant to the purchase agreement under which the private placement was made, the Company
agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3, registering the shares for resale, and would
have been subject to certain penalties if the registration statement was not declared effective
within 270 days of July 30, 2007. The registration statement was declared effective on October 18,
2007. Also pursuant to the purchase agreement under which the private placement was made, the
Company will be subject to certain penalties if the registration statement is unavailable under
certain conditions.
In addition, for so long as CBT Holdings owns not less than 600,000 of the shares, it will
have certain rights with respect to access to Company management, the ability to designate a
representative who is reasonably acceptable to the Company to attend in a non-voting, observer
capacity, the meetings of the Companys Board of Directors and its committees, and the ability to
require that the Companys Board of Directors nominate a designee chosen by CBT Holdings and who is
otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Company and further recommend to the Companys stockholders
the election of such nominee to the Companys Board of Directors.
On July 26, 2004, the Company issued promissory notes to the former stockholders of Dixie in
the aggregate amount of $500 thousand. Payments of principal are paid monthly and interest accrues
at the rate of 4% per annum on any past due principal amount of the notes. The notes mature on
July 31, 2009. Principal payments made in fiscal year 2008 were $98 thousand and the remaining
principal payments of $106 thousand are due through the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.

Purchase Commitments.
The Company currently has no purchase commitments.
Long-Term Debt and Advances Under Credit Facilities.
As of June 30, 2008, we had $50 million
in Notes outstanding. We maintain the Amended Credit Agreement with MLCFC. Outstanding advances
under the Amended Credit Agreement totaled $0 as of June 30, 2008. Promissory notes to former
stockholders of Dixie and other long-term obligations were approximately $106 thousand.
We believe the Companys borrowings under the Revolving Facility, cash on hand and cash flows
from operations will satisfy its respective short-term and long-term liquidity requirements. The
Notes mature in December 2009. In the absence of these notes converting into shares of the
Companys common stock, it is our intent to pay off as much of the debt as possible with cash flows
from operations and refinance the remaining balance with additional bank debt or the public or
private sale of debt or equity securities. There can be no assurance that a refinancing will be
available or that, if available, such refinancing will be available on acceptable terms.
The Company may experience periods of higher borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement due
to the seasonal nature of its business cycle. If the Company was to actively seek expansion
through future acquisitions and/or joint ventures, then the success of such efforts may require
additional bank debt, or public or private sales of debt or equity securities.
Operating Leases.
We lease property and equipment, manufacturing and warehouse facilities,
and office space under non-cancellable leases. Certain of these leases obligate us to pay taxes,
maintenance and repair costs.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.
We do not utilize off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
We do, however, finance the use of certain facilities, office and computer equipment, and
automobiles under various non-cancellable operating lease agreements. At June 30, 2008, the total
future minimum lease payments under various operating leases we are a party to totaled
approximately $6.6 million and, as indicated in the table above, are payable through fiscal 2013.
Subsequent Events
On July 7, 2008 and August 13, 2008, the Company purchased approximately $1.5 million and $4.0
million, respectively, of the Notes. The Notes were purchased at a discounted price of $95.25 and
$95.50, respectively, per $100 value of the Notes. The Company paid approximately $1.4 million and
$3.9
million, respectively, in principal and accrued interest.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Risk Factors Affecting Sport Supply Groups Business and Prospects
There are numerous risk factors that affect our business and the results of our operations.
These risk factors include general economic and business conditions; the level of demand for our
products and services; the level and intensity of competition in the sporting goods industry; our
ability to timely and effectively manage the introduction of new products and the markets
acceptance of those products; our ability to develop new and enhance our existing relationships
with customers and suppliers; our ability to effectively manage our growth; and the effect of armed
hostilities and terrorism on the economy generally, on the level of demand for our products and
services, and our ability to manage our supply and delivery logistics in such an environment. For
a discussion of these and other risk factors affecting Sport Supply Groups business and prospects,
see Item 1A Risk Factors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Sport Supply Groups discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations is based upon the Companys consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared
in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.
Discussed below are several significant accounting policies that require the use of judgment
and estimates that may materially affect the consolidated financial statements. The estimates
described below are reviewed from time to time and are subject to change if the circumstances so
indicate. The effect of any such change is reflected in results of operations for the period in
which the change is made.
Inventories.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using
the average cost method for items manufactured by us and the weighted-average cost method for items
purchased for resale. We record adjustments to our inventories for estimated obsolescence or
diminution in market value equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated
market value, based on market conditions from time to time. These adjustments are estimates, which
could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual experience if future
economic conditions, levels of customer demand or competitive conditions differ from expectations.
Because valuing our inventories at the lower of cost or market requires significant management
judgment, we believe the accounting estimate related to our inventories is a critical accounting
estimate. Management of the Company has discussed this critical accounting estimate with the
audit committee of our Board of Directors, and the audit committee has reviewed the Companys
disclosure relating to this estimate in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.
We evaluate the collectibility of accounts receivable based
on a combination of factors. In circumstances where there is knowledge of a specific customers
inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance is provided to reduce the net
receivable to the amount that is reasonably believed to be collectible. For all other customers,
allowances are established based on historical bad debts, customer payment patterns and current
economic conditions. The establishment of these allowances requires the use of judgment and
assumptions regarding the potential for losses on receivable balances. If the financial condition
of our customers deteriorates, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments,
additional allowances may be required resulting in an additional charge to expenses when made.
Because estimating our uncollectible accounts requires significant management judgment, we believe
the accounting estimate related to our allowance for doubtful accounts is a critical
accounting estimate. Management of the Company has discussed this critical accounting
estimate with the audit committee of our Board of Directors, and the audit committee has reviewed
the Companys disclosure relating to this estimate in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
- 35 -
At June 30, 2008, our total allowance for doubtful accounts remained at approximately $1.3
million, compared to $1.3 million as of June 30, 2007. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding
calculated on a twelve month average was 55 and 54 days at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
On an ongoing basis, management continues to assess the quality of accounts receivable. See Note 2
in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Goodwill, Intangibles and Long-lived Assets.
We assess the recoverability of the carrying
value of goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets periodically. If circumstances suggest
long-lived assets may be impaired, and a review indicates the carrying value will not be
recoverable, the carrying value is reduced to its estimated fair value. As of June 30, 2008, the
balance sheet includes approximately $60.5 million of goodwill and intangible assets, net, $9.7
million of fixed assets, net, and $1.4 million of deferred debt issuance costs. The Company has
concluded no impairment exists. Because estimating the recoverability of the carrying value of
long-lived assets requires significant judgment and the use of estimates, we believe the accounting
estimates related to our impairment testing are critical accounting estimates. Management of the
Company has discussed this critical accounting estimate with the audit committee of our Board of
Directors, and the audit committee has reviewed the Companys disclosure relating to this estimate
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Accounting for Business Combinations.
Whenever we acquire a business, significant estimates
are required to complete the accounting for the transaction. We hire independent valuation experts
familiar with purchase accounting issues and we work with them to ensure that all identifiable
intangibles are properly identified and assigned appropriate values. Because estimating the fair
value of certain assets acquired requires significant management judgment and our use of different
estimates than we reasonably could have used would have an impact on our reported assets, we
believe the accounting estimates related to purchase accounting are critical accounting
estimates. Management of the Company has discussed this critical accounting estimate with the
audit committee of our Board of Directors, and the audit committee has reviewed the Companys
disclosure relating to this estimate in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The inflation rate, as measured by the United States Consumer Price Index, has been relatively
low in the last few years and, therefore, pricing decisions by Sport Supply Group have largely been
influenced by competitive market conditions. However, recent economic indicators have suggested
that inflation is increasing at a substantial rate, and the Company will have to consider this in
future pricing decisions, especially in determining freight rates to bill its customers.
Depreciation expense is based on the historical cost to Sport Supply Group of its fixed assets and,
therefore, is considerably less than it would be if it were based on current replacement cost.
While buildings, machinery and equipment acquired in prior years will ultimately have to be
replaced at significantly higher prices, it is expected this will be a gradual process over many
years.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Interest Rates
Sport Supply Group is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with its borrowings under
the Amended Credit Agreement, which bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR or the prime
rate plus an applicable borrowing margin. For our $50 million of Notes, interest rate changes
affect the fair market value but do not impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable
rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value but do impact future
earnings and cash flows, assuming other
factors are held constant.
As of June 30, 2008, Sport Supply Group had $50 million in principal amount of fixed rate debt
represented by the Notes and $0 of variable rate debt represented by borrowings under the Amended
Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2008, up to $25 million of variable rate borrowings were available
under the Revolving Facility. We may use derivative financial instruments, where appropriate, to
manage our interest rate risks or risks of a declining United States dollar. However, as a matter
of policy, Sport Supply Group does not enter into derivative or other financial investments for
trading or speculative purposes. At June 30, 2008, Sport Supply Group had no such derivative
financial instruments outstanding.
Foreign Currency and Derivatives
We have not used derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency risk related to
the procurement of merchandise inventories from foreign sources, and we did not earn income
denominated in foreign currencies. We make all of our sales and pay all of our obligations in
United States dollars. We may in the future invest in foreign currencies or pay obligations in
foreign currencies to reduce the foreign currency risk related to procuring merchandise inventories
from foreign sources.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Stockholders and Board of Directors
Sport Supply Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sport Supply Group, Inc. (a
Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended June 30, 2008. Our audits of the basic financial statements included the financial
statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements
and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Sport Supply Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June
30, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended June 30, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in
all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded a cumulative
effect adjustment as of July 1, 2006, in connection with the adoption of SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effect of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.

1. General:
Sport Supply Group, Inc. (
Sport Supply Group
, f.k.a. Collegiate Pacific Inc.) was
incorporated on April 10, 1997 and commenced business in February 1998. Sport Supply Group is a
Delaware corporation and is a marketer, manufacturer and distributor of sporting goods equipment,
physical education, recreational and leisure products and a marketer and distributor of soft good
athletic apparel and footwear products (
soft goods
), primarily to the institutional
market in the United States. The institutional market generally consists of youth sports programs,
YMCAs, YWCAs, park and recreational organizations, schools, colleges, churches, government
agencies, athletic teams, athletic clubs and sporting goods dealers. Sport Supply Group offers its
products directly to its customers primarily through the distribution of its unique, informative
catalogs and fliers, its strategically located road sales professionals, its telemarketers, various
sales events and the Internet.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements include the balances and results of
operations of Sport Supply Group and its subsidiaries, Kesslers Team Sports, Inc.
(
Kesslers
) and Dixie Sporting Goods Co., Inc. (
Dixie
) (Sport Supply Group,
together with Kesslers and Dixie are generally referred to herein as the
Company
). All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents.
The Company includes as cash and cash equivalents all investments
with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Financial Instruments and Credit Risk Concentrations.
Financial instruments, which are
potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The Company places cash
deposits with high credit, quality financial institutions to minimize risk. Accounts receivable
are unsecured. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value due
to their short-term nature or their index tied to market rates. The fair value of the Convertible
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the
Notes
) was less than the carrying value of such
debt by $2.9 million and $9.5 million at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Accounts Receivable.
The Companys accounts receivable are due primarily from customers in
the institutional and sporting goods dealer market. Credit is extended based on evaluation of each
customers financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable
generally are due within 30 days and are stated in amounts due from customers net of an allowance
for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than contractual payment terms are considered
past due. The Company records allowances by considering a number of factors, including the length
of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Companys previous loss history, the customers
current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and
the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become
uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance
in the period the payment is received.

Changes in the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts for the fiscal years ended June 30,
2008, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Included in accounts receivable is $5.9 million of unbilled receivables at June 30, 2008.
Inventories.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined
using the average cost method for items manufactured by the Company and the weighted-average cost
method for items purchased for resale. The Company records adjustments to its inventories for
estimated obsolescence or diminution in market value equal to the difference between the cost of
inventory and the estimated market value, based on market conditions from time to time. These
adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from
actual experience if future economic conditions, levels of customer demand or competitive
conditions differ from expectations.
Property and Equipment.
Property and equipment includes office equipment, furniture and
fixtures, warehouse and manufacturing equipment, leasehold improvements and vehicles. These assets
are stated at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives of 2 to 20 years using the
straight-line method. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred and significant
renewals and betterments that extend the assets useful lives are capitalized.
Intangible Assets.
The Company has made significant acquisitions and as a result has acquired
certain identifiable intangible assets in conjunction with those acquisitions. Intangibles, such
as license agreements, customer relationships, contractual backlog, and non-compete covenants, with
a definite life are amortized over 3 months to 10 years using the straight-line method, except
customer relationships related to previous acquisitions, which are amortized on a double declining
method over 10 years.
Trademarks represent amounts paid to acquire the rights to brand specific products or
categories of products with recognizable brands in certain sporting goods categories. Trademarks
with a definite life are amortized on a straight line basis over 10 to 15 years. Trademarks
acquired as part of the Companys acquisition of Sport Supply Group, Inc. (
Old SSG
) have
an indefinite life and thus are not subject to periodic amortization. Because the trademarks have
an automatic 40-year renewal option the Company has concluded the trademarks have an indefinite
life.
The Company reviews amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (
SFAS
) No. 144,
Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
(SFAS 144). If such a review should indicate the
carrying amount of amortizable intangible assets is not recoverable, the Company reduces the
carrying amount of such assets to fair value. The Company reviews non-amortizable intangible assets
for impairment annually during the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if circumstances
dictate, in accordance with SFAS 144. No impairment of intangible assets was required for the years
ended June 30, 2008, 2007 or 2006.
- 45 -
Goodwill.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid and liabilities assumed
over the estimated fair market value of assets acquired and identifiable intangible assets.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth fiscal quarter or when there is a
triggering event, in accordance with SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
(SFAS
142). Based on the annual impairment tests performed as of April 1st, there was no impairment
indicated for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 or 2006.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of
depreciable and amortizable long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. If the total of the expected future undiscounted
cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, a loss is recognized in the amount the
carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value, which is determined based on quoted market
prices in active markets, if available, prices of other similar assets, or other valuation
techniques. There has been no impairment charge recorded by the Company.
Revenue Recognition.
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when title passes and
the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. Title passes generally upon
shipment or upon receipt by the customer, based on the terms of sale, except for sports equipment
that requires installation and related services. If installation or other post-shipment services
are required, title passes upon the completion of all installation and related services and the
acceptance of the installed product by the customer. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007
and 2006, 1.8%, 1% and less than 1%, respectively, of the Companys consolidated revenues were from
the sale of sports equipment that required installation or other post-shipment services. Sales
taxes billed to customers are not included in revenues.
Shipping and Handling Costs and Fees.
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of
sales, while amounts billed to customers are included in net sales.
Advertising.
Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses
and are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007
and 2006 were approximately $6.5 million, $7.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively.
Stock Based Compensation.
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 123 (Revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment
(
SFAS 123(R)
) and selected the modified
prospective method to initially report stock-based compensation amounts in the consolidated
financial statements. The Company is currently using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to
determine the fair value of all option grants. See Note 12 below. Stock-based compensation
expense in the amount of $494 thousand and $60 thousand is reflected in net income for fiscal 2008
and 2006, respectively. The Company did not grant stock options in fiscal 2007 so there was no
stock-based compensation expense recorded in fiscal 2007.
Income Taxes.
The Company utilizes the asset and liability approach in its reporting for
income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or
deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in
which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established
when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized.
Income Per Share.
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income per share is
computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding increased by the effect of
stock options, warrants and common stock underlying the Notes when dilutive.
- 46 -
Segment Reporting.
The Company and its subsidiaries are all engaged in the business of
marketing, manufacturing and distributing sporting goods equipment, soft goods, physical education,
recreational and leisure products to the institutional market in the United States. The Companys
operations consist of two operating segments, which the Company refers to as the Catalog Group and
the Team Dealer Group. Both of the Companys operating segments offer the same line of products,
which are acquired from the same resources, to a common customer base. Both of the Companys
operating segments also have similar economic characteristics. The segments meet the aggregation
criteria of paragraph 17 of SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information
and, accordingly, for disclosure purposes, the Company has aggregated its operating
segments into one reportable segment.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements.
The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (
US GAAP
)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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (
SAB 108
).
In September 2006, the Staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC
) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year
Financial Statements
(SAB 108). SAB 108 requires registrants to use a combination of two
approaches to evaluate the materiality of identified unadjusted errors: the rollover approach,
which quantifies an error based on the amount of the error originating in the current year income
statement, and the iron curtain approach, which quantifies an error based on the effects of
correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year. This new
method is referred to as the dual approach. The Company adopted SAB 108 during fiscal 2007.
As allowed by SAB 108, the cumulative effect of the initial application of SAB 108 has been
reported in the opening amounts in the assets and liabilities as of July 1, 2006, with the
offsetting balance to retained earnings. The Company recorded an increase to goodwill of $552
thousand, an increase in accrued liabilities of $1.9 million, an increase in deferred tax assets of
$734 thousand, and a decrease in retained earnings of $646 thousand related to adopting the dual
approach under SAB 108. The errors in prior years arose due to collections and remittances of
sales taxes that were incorrect, including the effect such unaccrued liabilities had on the
allocation of the purchase price for acquired companies. The Company did not consider these
misstatements material to any year in which they arose. The time period over which the errors
occurred was approximately four years.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
:
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (
FASB
) issued Interpretation
No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(
FIN 48
)
.
FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in
accordance with the FASBs SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes
. FIN 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure and transition. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions for which the statute of
limitations remains open and provides that only tax provisions that meet the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold are recognized. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on July 1,
2007. The Companys federal income tax returns for the year ended June 30, 2004 and subsequent
years remain subject to examination. The Companys income tax returns in certain state income tax
jurisdictions remain subject to examination for various periods for the year ended June 30, 2003
and subsequent years. The Company has no reserves for uncertain tax positions and no adjustments
were
required upon adoption of FIN 48. Interest and penalties resulting from audits by tax
authorities have been immaterial and are included in the provision for income taxes in the
consolidated statements of income.
- 47 -
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair
Value Measurements
(SFAS 157). This statement, effective for interim or annual reporting periods
beginning after November 15, 2007, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in US GAAP and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (FSP) FAS 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157
, to provide a one-year
deferral of the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities,
except those that are recognized or disclosed in financial statements at fair value on a recurring
basis (that is, at least annually). For nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities subject
to the deferral, the effective date of SFAS 157 is postponed to fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008 and to interim periods within those fiscal years. Except for nonfinancial assets
and nonfinancial liabilities subject to the deferral, the Company adopted SFAS 157 on July 1, 2008,
with no impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
(
SFAS 159
). SFAS
159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at
fair value. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The Company adopted SFAS 159 on July 1 2008, with no impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),
Business Combinations
(
SFAS
141R
). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations
(
SFAS 141
). SFAS 141R
retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which
SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to
be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R also establishes principles and requirements
for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b)
recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain
purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements
to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R will apply
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the Companys
fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any,
that SFAS 141R will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to
expense costs related to any acquisitions completed after June 30, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements
(
SFAS 160
). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to
establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest
in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as
equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for the Companys fiscal
year beginning July 1, 2009. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a
significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities
(
SFAS 161
). This standard is intended to improve financial reporting
by requiring transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entitys
financial statements, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
, and how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance
and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a significant
effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company
will adopt SFAS 161 on July 1, 2009.
- 48 -
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1,
Accounting for Convertible
Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (including Partial Cash Settlement)
(
APB 14-1
). APB 14-1 requires issuers of certain convertible debt instruments that may be
settled in cash upon conversion to separately account for the liability and equity components in a
manner that will reflect the entitys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is
recognized in subsequent periods.
The accounting for these types of instruments under APB 14-1 is intended to appropriately
reflect the underlying economics by capturing the value of the conversion options as borrowing
costs; therefore, recognizing their potential dilutive effects on earnings per share.
The effective date of APB 14-1 is for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim
periods beginning after December 15, 2008 and does not permit earlier application. However, the
transition guidance requires retrospective application to all periods presented and does not
grandfather existing instruments. In December 2004, the Company issued the Notes. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of APB 14-1. The Company will adopt APB 14-1 on
July 1, 2009.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1,
Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities
(
FSP EITF
03-6-1
). FSP EITF 03-6-1 applies to the calculation of earnings per share for share-based
payment awards with rights to dividends or dividend equivalents under SFAS No. 128,
Earnings Per
Share.
Unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or
dividend equivalents will be considered participating securities and will be included in the
computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The effective date of FSP EITF
03-6-1 is for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
all interim periods within those years. Early adoption is not permitted. Once effective, all prior
period earnings per share data presented will be adjusted retrospectively. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1. The Company will adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1
on July 1, 2009.
3. Business Combinations:
On July 1, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of 53.2% of the outstanding capital
stock of Old SSG from Emerson Radio Corp and Emerson Radio (Hong Kong) Limited for $32 million in
cash. Old SSG was a direct marketer and Business-To-Business (
B2B
) e-commerce supplier of
sporting goods and physical education equipment to the institutional and youth sports market. The
acquisition of 53.2% of Old SSG was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and,
accordingly, the net assets and results of operations of Old SSG have been included in the
Companys consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The purchase price was
allocated to assets acquired of approximately $40.5 million, plus identifiable intangible assets
acquired, which included $3.2 million for non-compete agreements, $1.3 million for customer
relationships, $660 thousand for a customer database, $327 thousand for significant contracts, $221
thousand for contractual backlog, $43 thousand for a photo library and $14 thousand for bid
database calendar, and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values of
approximately $26.8 million at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill in the amount of approximately $11.9
million.
- 49 -
On September 8, 2005, the Company announced it entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the
Merger Agreement
) pursuant to which the Company would have acquired the remaining
46.8% of the outstanding capital stock of Old SSG that it did not already own. Under the terms of
the merger agreement, each Old SSG stockholder would have receive 0.56 shares of the Companys
common stock for each share of Old SSG common stock, which valued each Old SSG share at $6.74 per
share, which is the same per share price the Company paid in cash for its purchase of 53.2% of the
outstanding capital stock of Old SSG on July 1, 2005. On November 22, 2005, however, the Company
announced it had entered into an agreement (the
Termination Agreement
) with Old SSG to
terminate the Merger Agreement after determining the merger was unlikely to close in a timely
fashion under previously contemplated terms. Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, dated
November 22, 2005, the Company agreed to reimburse Old SSG for up to $350 thousand for the fees and
expenses incurred by Old SSG in connection with the Merger Agreement.
On November 22, 2005, the Company announced its purchase of 1,661,900 shares of Old SSG, or an
additional 18% of Old SSGs outstanding common shares, for approximately $9.2 million in cash from
an institutional holder, representing a purchase price of $5.55 per share, as well as purchased an
additional 155,008 shares of Old SSG for $746 thousand in open market transactions at an average
price of $4.81 per share. The Companys ownership interest in Old SSG increased to approximately
73.2%. The purchase of these additional shares of Old SSG increased goodwill by approximately $4.3
million.
On November 13, 2006, the Company announced it had completed its acquisition of the remaining
26.8% of the capital stock of Old SSG that it did not already own for approximately $24.9 million
(the
Merger Transaction
). Under the terms of the Merger Transaction, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company was merged with and into Old SSG, with Old SSG as the surviving
corporation. Each issued and outstanding share of Old SSGs common stock was converted into the
right to receive $8.80 in cash.
On August 1, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the operating
assets of Team Print from Mr. Albert Messier, one of the former principal stockholders of Salkeld &
Sons, Inc. (
Salkeld
), for approximately $1.0 million in cash and the issuance of 53,248
shares of the Companys common stock to Mr. Messier, which were valued at approximately $641
thousand, which was based on the average closing price of the Companys common stock three days
before and three days after the date the acquisition was announced. Team Print is an embroiderer
and screen printer of sports apparel and accessories. The Company entered into leases for a 28
thousand square foot screen print and distribution facility and an 8 thousand square foot warehouse
facility owned by Mr. Messier and located in Bourbonnais, Illinois. The terms of the leases run
through July 2010 and May 2010, respectively, and the monthly rental rate is approximately $11
thousand and $3 thousand, respectively. The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Kesslers, employs
Mr. Messier. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was
recorded as goodwill in the amount of $1.2 million.
The Company acquired Old SSG, as well as the operating assets of Team Print after considering
the historic levels of earnings achieved by the acquired companies. The consideration paid was
agreed upon after the Company determined the potential impact on future earnings of the integrated
companies or operating assets acquired.
For income tax purposes, only the goodwill associated with the Companys acquisition of Team
Print is deductible over a period of 15 years. The goodwill acquired by the Company in connection
with the acquisition of Old SSG, an acquisition of stock, is not deductible for income tax
purposes.
In an effort to streamline the organizational structure of the Companys team dealers, on
January 1, 2007, the Company caused to be effected the merger of Salkeld with and into Kesslers,
and the merger of CMS of Central Florida d/b/a Orlando Team Sports (
OTS
) with and into
Dixie. As a result of these
mergers, the Company now conducts its team dealer business through Kesslers and Dixie, each of
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

9. Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit:
On November 26, 2004, the Company announced the completion of its sale of $40.0 million
principal amount of Notes. The Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule
144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act
). Thomas Weisel
Partners LLC (
Thomas Weisel
) was the initial purchaser of the Notes. On December 3,
2004, the Company announced the completion of its sale of an additional $10.0 million principal
amount of Notes pursuant to the exercise by Thomas Weisel of the option granted to it in connection
with the initial offering of the Notes. The issuance of the Notes resulted in aggregate proceeds
of $46.6 million to the Company, net of issuance costs.
The Notes are governed by the Indenture dated as of November 26, 2004 between the Company and
The Bank of New York Trust Company N.A., as trustee (the
Indenture
). The Indenture
provides, among other things, that the Notes will bear interest of 5.75% per year, payable
semi-annually, and will be convertible at the option of the holder of the Notes into the Companys
common stock at a conversion rate of 68.2594 shares per $1 thousand principal amount of Notes,
subject to certain adjustments. This is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $14.65
per share. The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption price, which is
100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to,
but excluding, the redemption date only if the closing price of the Companys common stock exceeds
150% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in any consecutive 30-day trading period.
Upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, holders may require the Company to
purchase all or a portion of the Notes in cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to, but
excluding, the repurchase date, plus the make whole premium, if applicable.
- 54 -
In connection with the completion of the sale of the Notes, on November 26, 2004, the Company
entered into a registration rights agreement with Thomas Weisel (the
Registration Rights
Agreement
). Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company was required to
file a registration statement on Form S-3 (the
Registration Statement
) with the SEC for
the registration of the Notes and the shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes. On February
28, 2006, the SEC declared effective the Registration Statement.
The Companys principal external source of liquidity is its amended and restated senior
secured
credit facility (the
Amended Credit Agreement
) with Merrill Lynch Commercial Finance
Corp., formerly known as Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc. (
MLCFC
),
individually as a lender, as administrative agent, sole book runner and sole lead manager, which is
collateralized by all of the assets of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
On October 30, 2007, the Company entered into the Amended Credit Agreement with MLCFC,
individually and as a lender, as administrative agent, sole book runner and sole lead manager, and
Bank of America, N.A., as a lender. The Amended Credit Agreement replaces the Companys prior
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
Senior Credit Facility
), dated as of November
13, 2006, by and among the Company, MLCFC and the additional lenders from time to time parties
thereto. The Senior Credit Facility replaced the Companys June 29, 2006 Credit Agreement with
Merrill Lynch Capital, a division of MLCFC. The Amended Credit Agreement establishes a commitment
to provide the Company with a $25.0 million secured revolving credit facility through June 1, 2010
(the
Revolving Facility
) with an accordion feature that could potentially expand total
availability to $55.0 million.
On January 7, 2008, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 To Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (
Amendment No. 1
). Amendment No. 1 amended the Amended Credit Agreement to (i)
increase from $5 million to $10 million the allowed purchase, redemption, retirement, defeasance,
surrender, cancellation, termination or acquisition of any shares of the Companys common stock and
(ii) change the name of the lender from Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc. to Merrill
Lynch Commercial Finance Corp.
On July 30, 2008, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 To Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (
Amendment No. 2
). Amendment No. 2 amended the Amended Credit Agreement to
permit the repurchase of up to $15.0 million of Notes.
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had $0 outstanding under the Revolving Facility, thereby
leaving the Company with approximately $25 million of availability under the terms of the Amended
Credit Agreement.
All borrowings under the Revolving Facility will bear interest at either (a) LIBOR (London
Interbank Offered Rate) plus a spread ranging from 0.75% to 1.75%, with the amount of the spread at
any time based on the Companys ratio of total debt, excluding subordinated debt, to the Companys
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (
EBITDA
) (the
Senior
Leverage Ratio
) on a trailing 12-month basis, or (b) an alternative base rate equal to the
MLCFC prime rate plus an additional spread ranging from -0.75% to 0.25%, with the amount of the
spread at any time based on the Companys Senior Leverage Ratio on a trailing 12-month basis.
The Revolving Facility includes covenants that require the Company to maintain certain
financial ratios. The Companys Senior Leverage Ratio on a trailing 12-month basis may not exceed
2.50 to 1.00 at any time and the Companys ratio of EBITDA to the sum of the Companys fixed
charges (interest expense, taxes, cash dividends and scheduled principal payments) on a trailing
12-month basis (the
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
) must be at least 1.15 to 1.00 at all
times. The Revolving Facility also limits the amount the Company can disburse for capital
expenditures. At June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants
under the Revolving Facility.
- 55 -
The Revolving Facility is guaranteed by each of the Companys subsidiaries and is secured by,
among other things, a pledge of all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of each of the
Companys subsidiaries and a first priority perfected security interest on all of the assets of the
Company and each of its subsidiaries.
The Revolving Facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants
(affirmative and negative) and the Revolving Facility is subject to customary rights of the lenders
and the administrative agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default,
including, under certain circumstances, the right to accelerate payment of the loans made under the
Revolving Facility and the right to charge a default rate of interest on amounts outstanding under
the Revolving Facility.
On July 30, 2007, the Company privately sold 1,830,000 shares of its common stock to CBT
Holdings, LLC (
CBT Holdings
) for $18.3 million. The Company used the proceeds from the
private placement for the prepayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility
and the payment of out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the private

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, stock options to purchase 571,075,
499,800 and 433,900 shares, respectively, were excluded in the computations of diluted earnings per
share because their effect was anti-dilutive. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the
assumed conversion of 3,412,969 shares from the Notes was dilutive and is included in the
calculation above. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the assumed conversion of
3,412,969 shares from the Notes was anti-dilutive.
15.
Employee Benefit Plan:
The Company implemented an employee savings plan (the
plan
) during fiscal 2005
pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All employees who have been credited with
at least 520 hours of service are eligible to participate in the plan. Employees may elect to
contribute to the plan through payroll deductions in an amount not to exceed the amount permitted
under the Internal Revenue Code. Effective July 1, 2008, the Company has elected to match 12% of
the first 3% employees contribute. The Company also has the discretion to make additional matching
contributions on behalf of the participants. Employees are fully vested in their contributions.
Company contributions are not vested until after completion of two years of service. Thereafter,
contributions vest at a rate of 20% per year on each participants anniversary date in the plan if
the participant has completed 1,000 hours of service with the Company as of such date. The Company
contributed $74 thousand and $137 thousand to the plan during fiscal 2008 and 2007. During fiscal
2006, the Company did not contribute to the plan.
Due to the corporate reorganization, Sport Supply Group, Inc. (f.k.a. Collegiate Pacific Inc.)
changed its retirement plan from the Collegiate Pacific 401(k) Plan to the Sport Supply Group, Inc.
401(k) Plan (
SSG 401(k) Plan
) and adopted and continued the Sport Supply Group, Inc.
Employees Savings Plan (
SSG Employees Savings Plan
). As of December 31, 2007 the two
plans were merged into the
SSG 401(k) Plan.

16. Legal Proceedings:
The Company is a party to various litigation matters, in most cases involving ordinary and
routine claims incidental to the Companys business. The Company cannot estimate with certainty
its ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to such pending litigation matters.
However, the Company believes, based on its examination of such matters, that its ultimate
liability will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
17. Subsequent Events:
On July 7, 2008 and August 13, 2008, the Company purchased approximately $1.5 million and $4.0
million, respectively, of the Notes. The Notes were purchased at a discount of $95.25 and $95.50,
respectively, per $100 value of the Notes. The Company paid approximately $1.4 million and $3.9
million, respectively, in each transaction.
On May 22, 2008, the Board unanimously approved and adopted an amendment and restatement of
the
Amended and Restated Plan
, subject to the receipt of stockholder approval. At a
special meeting of stockholders held on July 10, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved the
Amended and Restated Plan. On July 2, 2008, approximately 303 thousand options were granted under
the 1998 Plan and the Amended and Restated Plan. Also on July 10, 2008, approximately 57 thousand
restricted shares of common stock were granted under the Amended and Restated Plan to certain
directors and executives of the Company.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
None.
ITEM 9AT. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
An evaluation was carried out under the
supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive
Officer (
CEO
) and Chief Financial Officer (
CFO
), of the effectiveness of the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in §240.13a-15(e) or §240.15d-15(e) of the
General Rules and Regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
1934
Act
)), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation,
management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and
accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive and
principal financial officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
(b)
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Sport Supply Groups management,
with the participation of Sport Supply Groups CEO and CFO, has evaluated whether any change in
Sport Supply Groups internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2008. Based on its evaluation, management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that
there has been no change in Sport Supply Groups internal control over financial reporting during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
(c)
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
. Management of the
Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Companys
internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only
reasonable assurance, as opposed to absolute assurance, of achieving their internal control
objectives.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting as of June 30, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in
Internal Control
Integrated Framework
. Based on its assessment, management believes that, as of June 30, 2008,
there is reasonable assurance the Companys internal control over financial reporting is effective
based on those criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Companys internal
control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only
managements report in this annual report.
