Gaiam, Inc.
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2002

1. Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

    Organization and Nature of Operations

        Gaiam, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on July 7, 1988. Gaiam is a multi-channel lifestyle company providing a broad selection of information, products and services to customers who value natural health, personal development, and renewable energy.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gaiam, its subsidiaries and partnerships in which ownership is greater than 50% and considered to be under the control of Gaiam. All material intercompany accounts and transaction balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

    Preparation of Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

        The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the management of Gaiam pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly Gaiam's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2002, the interim results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These interim statements have not been audited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 was derived from Gaiam's audited consolidated financial statements included in Gaiam's annual report on Form 10-K.

        Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accounting policies followed by Gaiam are described in Note 1 to the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 included in Gaiam's annual report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2001.

        The consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods disclosed within this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

    Use of Estimates

        The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Adoption of Accounting Standards

        In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142"), which revises the accounting for purchased goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be systematically amortized into operating results. Instead, each of these assets will be tested for impairment, in the absence of an indicator of possible impairment, at least annually, and upon an indicator of possible impairment, immediately. As required under SFAS No. 142, any goodwill resulting from a business


combination occurring subsequent to June 30, 2001, will not be systematically amortized. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and must be applied as of the beginning of a fiscal year. Gaiam has adopted SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002.

2. Stockholders' Equity

        During the first quarter of 2002, Gaiam issued 24,000 shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of warrants. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, Gaiam issued 25,596 shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of options granted under the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

3. Earnings per Share

        Basic earnings per share exclude any dilutive effects of options and dilutive securities. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. All earnings per share amounts for all period have been presented and conform to the Statement No. 128 requirements.

        The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

4. Segment Information

        Gaiam has two business segments: Direct to Consumer and Business to Business; both of which sell products, services and information produced or purchased from other suppliers. Although the customer bases do not overlap to any significant extent, the production, purchase and delivery processes overlap in some areas. Gaiam does not accumulate the balance sheet by segment for purposes of management review.



        Each of the two segments qualifies as such because each accounts for more than 10% of combined revenue. Contribution margin is defined as net sales, less cost of goods sold and direct expenses. Financial information for Gaiam's business segments was as follows:

Accrued one- time charge for severance and relocation costs associated with the planned consolidation of our finance and creative staff from California into our Colorado headquarters.

5. Restructuring Charge

        During the first quarter of 2002, Gaiam accrued $375,953 for severance and relocation costs associated with the planned consolidation of our finance and creative staff from California into our Colorado headquarters. These charges include approximately $286,000 for severance/relocation and other costs associated with the workforce consolidation. The remainder of the charge primarily relates to lease termination and other costs associated with office consolidation. This consolidation should be completed by third quarter 2002 and is expected to improve productivity and lower our operating costs by the end of the year.



Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        The following discussion and analysis of Gaiam's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document.

Three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to three months ended June 30, 2001

        Revenues increased to $24.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $22.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2001. The closure, as planned, of the multi-store retail operation we acquired in connection with the Real Goods transaction in the first quarter of 2001 lowers our year over year sales growth comparison. Gaiam's internal growth rate of 19% was driven by sales growth in the business segment and proprietary products.

        Gross profit, which consists of revenues less cost of sales (primarily merchandise acquisition costs and in-bound freight) increased to $14.2 million for the second quarter of 2002 from $13.2 million during the same period in 2001. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit declined to 58.9% in 2002 from 60.2% in 2001. This was primarily attributable to increased sales contribution from the business segment, which carries lower gross margin but also lower operating expenses. Gaiam continues to pursue growth of its proprietary product offerings and increase focus on media products, on which Gaiam has better margins.

        Selling and operating expenses, which consist primarily of sales and marketing costs, commission and fulfillment expenses, increased to $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $11.7 million for the same period in 2001. As a percentage of revenues, selling and operating expenses decreased to 43.4% in 2002 from 44.8% in 2001 primarily due to the increased percentage of sales from our business segment.

        Corporate, general and administrative expenses increased to $2.1 million during the second quarter of 2002, from $1.8 million during 2001, primarily due to higher revenues. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased marginally to 8.6% in 2002 from 8.4% in 2001.

        Operating income, as a result of the factors described above, increased to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, from $1.5 million for the comparable period in 2001.

        Gaiam recorded $108,903 in other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to other income of $41,070 for the three month ended June 30, 2001. This shift was primarily attributable to the loss of $181,708 associated with the sales commission and other expenses paid on the sale of the Gaiam Yoga Center. Minority interest was $8,135 during the second quarter of 2002, compared to $440,542 during the second quarter of 2001.

As a percentage of revenue, gross profit declined to 58.8% in 2002 from 60.6% in 2001. This was primarily attributable to increased sales contribution from the business-to-business channel, which carries lower gross margin but also lower operating expenses.



        Selling and operating expenses increased to $21.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $18.4 million for the same period in 2001. As a percentage of revenues, selling and operating expenses decreased to 43.5% in 2002 from 46.4% in 2001.

        Corporate, general and administrative expenses increased to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $3.4 million for the corresponding period in 2001. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 8.7% in 2002 from 8.5% in 2000.

        A non-recurring one-time charge of $375,953 was taken in the first quarter of 2002. The charge is for severance and relocation costs associated with the planned consolidation of our finance and creative staff from California into our Colorado headquarters.

        Operating income, as a result of the factors described above, increased 24.9% to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $2.3 million for the comparable period in 2001. Excluding the accrued one-time charge (described above) operating income increased 41.3% to $3.2 million or 6.7% of sales in 2002 compared to $2.3 million or 5.8% of sales in 2001.

        Gaiam recorded $139,461 in other expense during the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to other income of $108,768 for the comparable period in 2001. Minority interest decreased to $10,797 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $523,187 for the comparable period in 2001. Minority interest declined year-over-year due to Gaiam's purchase of the remaining minority interests in our organic clothing and two renewable energy businesses.

        Income tax provision increased to $963,094 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $897,919 for the comparable period in 2001.

        Net income, as a result of the factors described above, increased 79.0% to $1,739,050 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $971,431 for the comparable period in 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Gaiam's capital needs arise from working capital required to fund our operations, capital expenditures related to expansions and improvements to Gaiam's infrastructure, development of e-commerce, and funds required in connection with the acquisitions of new businesses and Gaiam's anticipated future growth. These capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the rate of market acceptance of Gaiam's product offerings, the ability to expand Gaiam's customer base, the cost of ongoing upgrades to Gaiam's product offerings, the level of expenditures for sales and marketing, the level of investment in distribution and other factors. The timing and amount of these capital requirements cannot accurately be predicted. Additionally, Gaiam will continue to evaluate possible investments in businesses, products and technologies, and plans to expand sales and marketing programs and conduct more aggressive brand promotions.

        Gaiam's operating activities generated net cash of $269,711 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002. Operating activities used net cash of $4,615,504 and provided net cash of $81,849 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Gaiam's net cash used by operating activities for six months ended June 30, 2002 arose primarily from the decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, an increase in accounts receivable associated with the growth in our business segment and the payment of income taxes payable for last year. Gaiam's net cash provided by operating activities for 2001 arose primarily from an increase in cash generated from net income prior to depreciation and amortization.

        Gaiam's investing and acquisition activities provided net cash of $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and used cash of $4.2 million for the comparable period in 2001. During the second quarter of 2002, Gaiam sold the Gaiam Yoga Center for net proceeds of $2.7 million. The cash used in investing activities in 2001, primarily arose from Gaiam's merger with Real Goods Trading



Corporation, and also the acquisition of the stock and net assets of Earthlings, Inc. and Self Care, Inc. for a total combined purchase price for both companies of $3.8 million.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2002, Gaiam's financing activities provided $55,294 in cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, Gaiam's financing activities provided $4.5 million in cash, as a result of borrowings under Gaiam's loan agreements.

        We believe our available cash, cash expected to be generated from operations, and borrowing capabilities of $15 million (unused line of credit) will be sufficient to fund our operations on both a short-term and long-term basis. However, our projected cash needs may change as a result of acquisitions, unforeseen operational difficulties or other factors.

        In the normal course of our business, we investigate, evaluate and discuss acquisition, joint venture, minority investment, strategic relationship and other business combination opportunities in the LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) market. In the event of any future investment, acquisition or joint venture opportunities, we may consider using then-available liquidity, issuing equity securities or incurring additional indebtedness.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        We do not believe that any of our financial instruments have significant risk associated with market sensitivity. We are not exposed to financial market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates and are only minimally impacted by changes in interest rates. In the future, we may enter into transactions denominated in non-U.S. currencies, which could increase our exposure to these market risks. We have not used, and currently do not contemplate using, any derivative financial instruments.
