TANDY LEATHER FACTORY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly its financial position as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and/or six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventory. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and is accounted for on the “first in, first out” method. Based on negotiations with vendors, title generally passes to us when merchandise is put on board. Merchandise to which we have title but which we have not yet received is recorded as inventory in transit. In addition, the value of inventory is periodically reduced for slow-moving or obsolete inventory based on management's review of items on hand compared to their estimated future demand.

The components of inventory consist of the following:

	As of
	June 30, 2013	December 31, 2012
Inventory on hand:
Finished goods held for sale	$25,043,689	$24,039,846
Raw materials and work in process	938,440	495,182
Inventory in transit	1,515,893	1,327,756
	$27,498,022	$25,862,784

Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, absent indicators of impairment during the interim. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires exercise of judgment, including the estimation of future cash flows, determination of appropriate discount rates and other important assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit.

A two-step process is used to test for goodwill impairment. The first phase screens for impairment, while the second phase (if necessary) measures the impairment. We have elected to perform the annual analysis during the fourth calendar quarter of each year. As of December 31, 2012, management determined that the present value of the discounted estimated future cash flows of the stores associated with the goodwill is sufficient to support their respective goodwill balances. No indicators of impairment were identified during the first half of 2013. In accordance with recent guidance from the FASB, beginning in 2012, we are permitted to first assess qualitative factors in testing goodwill for impairment prior to performing a quantitative assessment.

A summary of changes in our goodwill for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

	Leather Factory	Tandy Leather	Total

	Gross	Accumulated Amortization	Net	Gross	Accumulated Amortization	Net
Trademarks, Copyrights	$544,369	$472,382	$71,987	$544,369	$456,836	$87,533

	$725,889	$600,069	$125,820	$727,585	$582,052	$145,533

We recorded amortization expense of $19,712 during the first six months of 2013 compared to $22,342 during the first half of 2012. All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization under U.S. GAAP. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the succeeding 5 years is as follows:

	Wholesale Leathercraft	Retail Leathercraft	Total
2013	$768	$33,337	$34,105
2014	455	33,337	33,792

Revenue Recognition. Our sales generally occur via two methods: (1) at the counter in our stores, and (2) shipment by common carrier. Sales at the counter are recorded and title passes as transactions occur. Otherwise, sales are recorded and title passes when the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Our shipping terms are FOB shipping point.

We offer an unconditional satisfaction guarantee to our customers and accept all product returns. Net sales represent gross sales less negotiated price allowances, product returns, and allowances for defective merchandise.

Comprehensive Income (loss) and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-stockholder sources and includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by and dividends to stockholders. Our comprehensive income (loss) consists of our net income and foreign currency translation adjustments from our international operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve reporting by requiring entities to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in the statement of operations. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 are required to be applied retrospectively and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of the standard did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2. NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT

On July 31, 2007, we entered into a Credit Agreement and Line of Credit Note with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., pursuant to which the bank agreed to provide us with a credit facility of up to $5,500,000 to facilitate our purchase of real estate consisting of a 191,000 square foot building situated on 30 acres of land located at 1900 SE Loop 820 in Fort Worth, Texas. Proceeds in the amount of $4,050,000 were used to fund the purchase of the property. On April 30, 2008, the principal balance was rolled into a 10-year term note with a 20-year amortization that accrues interest at a rate of 7.10% per annum.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amount outstanding under the above agreements consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2013	December 31, 2012
Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank – collateralized by real estate; payable as follows:
Line of Credit Note dated July 31, 2007, converted to a 10-year term note on April 30, 2008; $16,875 monthly principal payments plus interest at 7.1% per annum; matures April 30, 2018	$2,700,000	$3,105,000
	2,700,000	3,105,000
Less - Current maturities	(202,500)	(202,500)
	$2,497,500	$2,902,500

On July 12, 2012, we executed a Line of Credit Note with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., pursuant to which the bank agreed to provide us with a revolving credit facility of up to $4 million. The note was obtained for working capital purposes. The revolver bears interest at LIBOR plus 2% (2.27% at June 30, 2013) and was to mature on June 30, 2013. On June 25, 2013, we executed a Note Modification Agreement which extends the maturity date of the Line of Credit Note to June 30, 2014. All other terms remain unchanged. Interest is paid monthly. The unused amount at June 30, 2013 was $4 million.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We have one stock option plan which provides for annual stock option grants to non-employee directors with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. Under this plan, 12,000 options were awarded to directors in both the first six months of 2013 and the first six months of 2012. These options vest and become exercisable six months from the option grant date. We had two other stock option plans from 1995 which provided for stock option grants to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. These plans expired in 2005. The expiration of the plans has no effect on the options previously granted. Options outstanding and exercisable were granted at a stock option price which was not less than the fair market value of our common stock as of closing on the date the option was granted and no option has a term in excess of ten years. We recognized share based compensation expense of $5,843 and $5,000 for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $11,686 and $10,000 for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as a component of operating expenses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the stock option activity under our stock option plans was as follows:

	Weighted Average Exercise Price	# of shares	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Exercisable, June 30, 2013	$4.60	99,600	5.24	$155,500

Other information pertaining to option activity during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

	June 30, 2013	June 30, 2012
Weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted	$11,686	$10,000
Total fair value of stock options vested	N/A	N/A

5. CASH DIVIDEND

In February 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a $0.25 per share special one-time cash dividend that was paid to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2012. We released the funds used to pay for the special one-time cash dividend on March 29, 2012 and the dividend, totaling $2.5 million, was paid to stockholders on April 2, 2012. Our Board will determine future cash dividends after giving consideration to our then existing levels of profit and cash flow, capital requirements, current and forecasted liquidity, as well as financial and other business conditions existing at the time.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings. On March 16, 2011, two former employees of ours filed a lawsuit, entitled Mark Barnes and Jerry Mercante on behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated v. Tandy Leather Company, Inc., Tandy Leather Factory, and Does 1-50, in the US District Court for the District of Nevada. The lawsuit was subsequently amended on May 9, 2011 to add another former employee, Donna Cavota, as a third named plaintiff. The suit alleges that we violated requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as well as various state wage laws. Plaintiffs seek to represent themselves and all similarly situated U.S. current and former store managers of ours. A Settlement Agreement was reached between the parties, and on September 24, 2012, the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division (“Court”) issued an Order Preliminarily Approving the Settlement of all federal and state claims asserted by the plaintiffs in the litigation. We continue to deny any violation of any statute, law, rule or regulation, any liability or wrongdoing, and the truth of any or all of the plaintiffs’ allegations. We agreed to enter into the Settlement Agreement to avoid further expense and inconvenience, end the disruption and burden of the litigation, avoid any other present or future litigation arising out of the facts that gave rise to the litigation, avoid the risk inherent in uncertain complex litigation, and to put to rest the controversy set forth in the plaintiff’s litigation.

The Settlement Agreement preliminarily approved by the Court required us to establish a fund designated as a Qualified Settlement Fund (Escrow Account) in the amount of $993,386 to fund (1) settlement payments to the plaintiffs, (2) settlement payments to the other members of the settlement class who join the case, (3) plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses, and (4) and the claim administrator (Escrow Agent’s) fees and expenses. The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Settlement Agreement which was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2012.

The deadline established by the Court for any existing or former persons employed by us as store managers between November 23, 2008 and September 24, 2012 to join the lawsuit as a class member expired on May 24, 2013. On June 28, 2013, the Court issued two orders: (1) an Order Approving Class and Collective Action Settlement and Dismissing Case with Prejudice, and (2) a Final Judgment, Approving Class and Collective Action Settlement and Dismissing Case with Prejudice. Pursuant to the Court’s June 28, 2013 Orders, the claims administrator (Escrow Agent) is required to make payments to those existing and former store managers and the plaintiffs who joined the lawsuit by signing and returning Consent to Join Forms, which contained a release of us from the claims asserted in plaintiffs’ lawsuit. The settlement payments to the class members and the plaintiffs will be made from the Escrow Account pursuant to the formula set forth in the Settlement Agreement, as well as the payment of the plaintiffs’ attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of the claims administrator (Escrow Agent). The total payment from the Escrow Account, to include our required FICA payments based on the settlement payments, is expected to be $680,867 from the total Escrow Account of $993,385. After all payments have been made from the Escrow Account, the claims administrator (Escrow Agent) will terminate the Escrow Account within 120 days from the date the settlement checks have been mailed, and the balance of the Escrow Account (approximately $312,000) is expected to be returned to us before year end 2013.

In connection with the settlement, we recorded a charge to operations of $993,386 during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as this amount, as ordered by the Court, covered the full settlement of all claims of opt in claimants, class counsels’ attorneys’ fees, and class administration costs in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a benefit of approximately $312,000, which is the expected remaining balance in the Escrow Account after all payments have been made.

We are periodically involved in various other litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business and operations. There are no such matters pending that we expect will have a material impact on our financial position and operating results. Legal costs associated with the resolution of claims, lawsuits and other contingencies are expensed as incurred.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We identify our segments based on the activities of three distinct operations:

a.	Wholesale Leathercraft, which consists of a chain of wholesale stores operating under the name, The Leather Factory, located in North America;

b.	Retail Leathercraft, which consists of a chain of retail stores operating under the name, Tandy Leather Company, located in the North America; and

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

Our Business

We are the world’s largest specialty retailer and wholesale distributor of leather and leathercraft related items. We market our products to our growing list of customers through company-owned retail and wholesale stores. We are a Delaware corporation, and our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “TLF.” We operate our business in three segments: Wholesale Leathercraft, which operates wholesale stores in North America under the trade name, The Leather Factory, Retail Leathercraft, which operates retail stores in North America under the trade name, Tandy Leather Company, and International Leathercraft, which operates combination retail/wholesale stores outside of North America under the trade name, Tandy Leather Factory. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning our segments, as well as our foreign operations.

Our Wholesale Leathercraft segment operates 29 company-owned wholesale stores in 19 states and three Canadian provinces. These stores are engaged in the wholesale distribution of leather and related items, including leatherworking tools, buckles and belt adornments, leather dyes and finishes, saddle and tack hardware, and do-it-yourself kits, to retailers, manufacturers, and end users. Our Wholesale Leathercraft segment also includes our National Account sales group, whose customers are only national craft chains.

Our Retail Leathercraft segment operates company-owned Tandy Leather Company retail stores in 37 states and six Canadian provinces. Tandy Leather Company, one of the oldest and one of the best-known suppliers of leather and related supplies used in the leathercraft industry, has been a primary leathercraft resource for decades. Tandy Leather Company’s products include quality tools, leather, accessories, kits and teaching materials. In 2002, we began expanding Tandy Leather Company’s industry presence by opening retail stores. As of August 1, 2013, we were operating 78 Tandy Leather Company retail stores located throughout the United States and Canada.

Our International Leathercraft segment operates 3 company-owned stores, all located outside of North America. These stores operate as combination retail / wholesale stores and consist of one store in Northampton, United Kingdom, one store in Sydney, Australia, and one store in Jerez, Spain. We expect to open additional stores outside of North America in the future, although specific locations and opening dates have not yet been determined.

Critical Accounting Policies

A description of our critical accounting policies appears in Item 7 “Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this report and other materials we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “budgeted,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “potential,” “estimate,” “continue,” or “future” variations thereof or other similar statements. There are certain important risks that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the forward-looking statements. Some, but not all, of the important risks, including those described below, could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Please refer also to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 for additional information concerning these and other uncertainties that could negatively impact the Company.

Ø	Our business may be negatively impacted by general economic conditions and the current global financial crisis.

Our performance is subject to worldwide economic conditions and their impact on levels of consumer spending that affect not only the ultimate consumer, but also small businesses and other retailers. Specialty retail, and retail in general, is heavily influenced by general economic cycles. Purchases of non-essential products tend to decline in periods of recession or uncertainty regarding future economic prospects, as disposable income declines. During periods of economic uncertainty, we may not be able to maintain or increase our sales to existing customers, make sales to new customers, open and operate new stores, maintain sales levels at our existing stores, maintain or increase our international operations on a profitable basis, or maintain our earnings from operations as a percentage of net sales. The United States and global economies have suffered from economic uncertainty for the past several years. Consumer spending in the United States appears to have stabilized recently, but could deteriorate in the future. As a result, our operating results may be adversely and materially affected by downward trends or uncertainty in the United States or global economies.

Ø	Our profitability may decline as a result of increasing pressure on margins.

Our industry is subject to significant pricing pressure caused by many factors, including fluctuations in the cost of the leather and metal products that we purchase and changes in consumer spending patterns and acceptance of our products. These factors may prohibit us from passing cost increases on to customers which could cause our gross margin to decline. If our product costs increase and our sale prices do not, our future operating results could be adversely affected unless we are able to offset such gross margin declines with comparable reductions in operating costs.

Ø	We may be unsuccessful in implementing our planned international expansion, which could impair the value of our brand, harm our business and negatively affect our results of operation.

We plan to grow our net sales and net earnings from our International segment by opening store in various international markets. As we expand outside of North America, we may incur significant costs relating to starting up, maintaining and expanding foreign operations. Costs may include, but are not limited to, obtaining locations for stores, hiring personnel, and travel expenses. We may be unable to open and operate new stores successfully and our growth may be limited, unless we are able to identify desirable sites for store locations; negotiate acceptable lease terms; hire, train and retain competent store personnel; manage inventory effectively to meet the needs and demands of customers on a timely basis; manage foreign currency risk effectively; and achieve acceptable operating margins from the new stores. We cannot be sure that we can successfully open new stores or that our new stores will be profitable.

As we continue to increase our international operations, we face the possibility of greater losses from a number of risks inherent in doing business in international markets and from a number of factors which are beyond our control, such as political instability or acts of terrorism, which disrupt trade with the countries in which our suppliers or customers are located; local business practices that do not conform to legal or ethical guidelines; restrictions or regulations relating to imports or exports; additional or increased customs duties, tariffs, taxes and other charges on imports; significant fluctuations in the value of the dollar against foreign currencies; social, legal or economic instability in the foreign markets in which we do business, which could influence our ability to sell our products in these markets; and restrictions on the transfer of funds between the United States and foreign jurisdictions.

We assume no obligation to update or otherwise revise our forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results, express or implied, will not be realized.

Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 increased $2.1 million, or 12.2%, compared to the same period in 2012. All three segments contributed to the sales increase with gains ranging from 7% to 32%. Operating income on a consolidated basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 declined 4.8%, or $119,000, from the second quarter of 2012.

The following table shows in comparative form our consolidated net income for the second quarters of 2013 and 2012:

Net income	$1,629,353		$1,539,638	5.8%

All segments contributed to our increased consolidated net income. Additional information appears below for each segment.

Wholesale Leathercraft

Our Wholesale Leathercraft segment consists of 29 wholesale stores and our National Account sales group. The National Account sales group’s customers consist of only national craft chains. The following table presents the combined sales mix by customer categories for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

	Quarter Ended
Customer Group	06/30/13	06/30/12
RETAIL (end users, consumers, individuals)	38%	33%
INSTITUTION (prisons, prisoners, hospitals, schools, youth organizations, etc.)	5%	8%
WHOLESALE (resellers & distributors, saddle & tack shops, authorized dealers, etc.)	45%	44%
MANUFACTURERS	6%	9%
NATIONAL ACCOUNTS	6%	6%
	100%	100%

Net sales increased 7.1%, or $446,000, for the second quarter of 2013 as follows:

	# Stores	Qtr Ended 06/30/13	Qtr Ended 06/30/12	$ Change	% Change
Same store sales	29	6,347,666	$6,070,345	$277,321	4.6%
National account group		380,920	212,645	168,275	79.1%
Total sales		$6,728,586	$6,282,990	$445,596	7.1%

Our same store sales increased 4.6% in the second quarter of 2013, as compared with the same period in 2012. Compared to the second quarter of 2012, we achieved sales dollar increases in our retail customer category, as well as to our National Account customers, which were offset somewhat by decreases in our institution, wholesale and manufacturing customer categories. We continue to see strength from our retail customer group, while our other customer groups appear to be less stable. Sales to summer camps and youth programs, which are part of our institution customer group, declined compared to last year’s second quarter due to a decrease in participation and funding of these programs. Sales to inmates and prisons, also part of our institution customer group, declined due to reduced funding as well. Our wholesale customers appear to have stabilized somewhat, but with the uncertainty surrounding the domestic economy overall, we are not confident that this stabilization will continue. Sales to our National Account customers were up 79% for the quarter, compared to the same quarter last year, due to the timing of orders from one customer. As discussed in our previous filings, we expect sales to our National Accounts customers to continue to decline year over year due to our decision to eliminate certain products from our line that these customers were buying due to unacceptable gross profit margins. Therefore, it is likely we will experience further sales declines to our National Account group if the product we stock is not what these customers want to purchase. Our primary focus is on sales through our stores, rather than National Accounts, as we believe our stores represent the greatest potential for continued and consistent sales growth.

Operating income for Wholesale Leathercraft during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 decreased $220,000, or 20%, from the comparative 2012 quarter. Our gross profit margin increased from 68.0% to 69.1% as our sales to retail customers increased. Those sales bring higher margins than sales to wholesale customers. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 56%, up $594,000 from the second quarter of 2012. Significant expense increases occurred in employee compensation and benefits ($243,000), advertising and marketing ($210,000), legal fees ($138,000), repairs and maintenance ($50,000), supplies ($50,000), commercial insurance ($43,000), outside services ($46,000), and loss on disposal of assets ($61,000). The expense increases were partially offset by $300,000 related to the settlement of litigation. (See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report for additional information regarding such litigation.) The increase in employee compensation and benefits is due to an increase in employee count that is attributable to an increase in the size of certain stores. Our advertising and marketing expenses are higher than last year due to an increase in the number of mailing pieces we have produced this year compared to last year and the associated postage to mail those pieces. The increase in legal fees is attributable to one time fees incurred for new trademark filings and the adoption of a stockholder rights plan. The increase in supplies, repairs and maintenance, and loss on disposal of assets are one-time expenses associated with the move and opening of our flagship store into its new facility this quarter.

Retail Leathercraft

Our Retail Leathercraft segment consists of 78 and 77 Tandy Leather Company retail stores at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net sales increased 14% for the second quarter of 2013 over the same quarter last year. A store is categorized as “new” until it is operating for the full comparable period in the prior year.

	# Stores	Qtr Ended 06/30/13	Qtr Ended 06/30/12	$ Change	% Change
Same store sales	77	$11,118,834	$9,863,139	$1,255,695	12.7%

Total sales		$11,242,080	$9,863,139	$1,378,941	14.0%

The following table presents sales mix by customer categories for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 for our Retail Leathercraft operation:

	Quarter Ended
Customer Group	06/30/13	06/30/12
RETAIL (end users, consumers, individuals)	57%	58%

WHOLESALE (resellers & distributors, saddle & tack shops, authorized dealers, etc.)	35%	34%
NATIONAL ACCOUNTS	-	-
MANUFACTURERS	3%	2%
	100%	100%

The retail stores averaged approximately $48,000 in sales per month for the second quarter of 2013.

Sales to each customer group increased solidly over the second quarter of 2012, with the exception of our institution customer group, whose decline was minimal (2%). Our gross profit margin decreased from 62.3% to 59.3% due to the increase in sales to non-retail customers compared to last year. Sales to our customer groups other than Retail bring lower margins. Operating income increased $68,000, or 5.2%, from the comparative 2012 quarter. Operating income as a percentage of sales declined from 13.3% in the second quarter of 2012 to 12.3% in the second quarter of 2013 due to the decrease in gross profit margin. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 49.0% to 47.1% as expenses grew at a slower rate than that of sales during the quarter. Operating expenses increased $458,000 over the second quarter of 2012. Compared to last year’s second quarter, employee compensation and benefits increased $140,000 due to an increase in employee count attributable to an increase in the size of certain stores, advertising and marketing expenses increased $96,000, due to special advertising related to store relocations, credit card fees and freight out (shipping to customers) increased $58,000 as a result of the increase in sales, property insurance increased $20,000 due to the additional fixtures in the larger stores, rent and utilities expense increased $52,000 as we continue to move stores into larger locations, and supplies were up $13,000.

International Leathercraft

International Leathercraft consists of all stores located outside of North America. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the segment contained three stores, with one each located in United Kingdom, Australia, and Spain. Net sales increased 32.2% for the second quarter of 2012 over the same quarter last year. A store is categorized as “new” until it is operating for the full comparable period in the prior year.

Gross profit margin as a percentage of sales decreased from 68.7% in the second quarter of 2012 to 60.0% in the second quarter of 2013. We determine selling prices taking into consideration the currency conversion between the U.S. dollar and the local currency, as well as local market conditions. Further, as these stores expand their customer bases, they sell more leather, which brings lower margins than tools and supplies. Operating expenses totaled $516,000 in the second quarter of 2013, up $47,000 from $469,000 in the second quarter of 2012. Compared to last year’s second quarter, advertising and marketing expenses were up $20,000, freight out (shipping to customers) increased $19,000, and credit card fees were up $5,000. Advertising and marketing expenses were this segment’s largest expense in the quarter, followed by employee compensation, freight out, legal and professional fees, and rent.

Other Expenses

We paid $52,000 in interest expense in the second quarter of 2013 on our bank debt, which is related to our building purchase, compared to $58,000 in interest expense in the second quarter last year. We earned $800 in interest income during the second quarter of 2013, down from last year’s second quarter interest income earned of $1,000. We recorded income of $38,000 during the second quarter of 2013 related to currency fluctuations from our international operations. Comparatively, in the second quarter of 2012, we recorded income of $30,000 for currency fluctuations.

	Six Months Ended
Customer Group	06/30/13	06/30/12
RETAIL (end users, consumers, individuals)	60%	60%

NATIONAL ACCOUNTS	-	-
MANUFACTURERS	2%	3%
	100%	100%

The retail stores averaged approximately $49,000 in sales per month for the first half of 2013.

Operating income for the first six months of 2013 increased $224,000 from the comparative 2012, but declined slightly as a percentage of sales from 13.2% in the first half of 2013 to 12.7% in the first half of 2012 due to the decline in gross profit margin percentage. Gross margin decreased from 62.1% to 60.7% due to the customer mix. The ratio of retail sales, which brings a higher margin, to non-retail sales, which brings a lower margin, can affect gross profit margin positively or negatively. During the first six months of 2013, non-retail sales have increased faster than that of retail sales, resulting in a decline in gross profit margin. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 48.0% for the first half of 2013, a slight improvement over 48.9% for the first half of 2012, as sales grew slightly faster than expenses.

International Leathercraft

International Leathercraft consists of all stores located outside of North America. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the segment contained three stores with one each located in United Kingdom, Australia, and Spain. Net sales increased 30.0% for the first half of 2013 over the same period last year. A store is categorized as “new” until it is operating for the full comparable period in the prior year.

	# Stores	Six Months Ended 06/30/13	Six Months Ended 06/30/12	$ Change	% Change
Same store sales	3	$1,950,579	$1,499,972	$450,607	30.0%
New store sales	-	-	-	-	-
Total sales		$1,950,579	$1,499,972	$450,607	30.0%

Gross profit margin as a percentage of sales decreased from 65.7% in the first half of 2012 to 61.8% in the first half of 2013. Selling prices are determined based on the currency conversion between the U.S. dollar and the local currency. In addition, gross profit margin is affected by sales mix – the ratio of higher margin products (tools, supplies, etc.) to lower margin products (leather). Operating expenses totaled $1.0 million in the first half of 2013, up $57,000 from $970,000 in the first half of 2012. Freight out (shipping to customers) increased $46,000 compared to the comparable period last year, while legal and professional fees increased $29,000. Employee compensation is this segment’s largest expense, followed by advertising and marketing expenses, shipping costs to customers, and rent.

Other Expenses

We paid $107,000 in interest on our bank debt in the first six months of 2013, compared to $117,000 in the first six months of 2012. We recorded $1,600 in interest income on our cash balances in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $6,000 a year ago. We recorded income of $51,000 for currency fluctuations in the first half of 2013. Comparatively, in the first half of 2012, we recorded income of $34,000 for currency fluctuations.

Capital Resources, Liquidity and Financial Condition

On our consolidated balance sheet, total assets were $53.2 million at June 30, 2013, up $4.1 million from $49.1 million at year-end 2012. Total stockholders’ equity increased from $37.5 million at December 31, 2012 to $40.4 million at June 30, 2013, the increase being attributable to earnings in the first half of this year. Our current ratio decreased slightly from 4.5 at December 31, 2012 to 4.1 at June 30, 2013 as current liabilities grew faster than current assets.

Our investment in inventory increased by $1.6 million from year-end 2012 to June 30, 2013. Inventory turnover reached an annualized rate of 2.86 times during the first half of 2013, improving minimally from 2.82 times for the first half of 2012. Inventory turnover was 3.18 times for all of 2012. We compute our inventory turns as sales divided by average inventory. As of June 30, 2013, our total inventory on hand was approximately 10% over our internal targets for optimal inventory levels. The increase is the result of early purchasing of certain products in anticipation of fourth quarter demand, which normally occurs during the third quarter.

Trade accounts receivable were $1.1 million at June 30, 2013, up $315,000 from $823,000 at year-end 2012. The average days to collect accounts for the first half of 2013 were 45 days, improving from 47 days for the first half of 2012. We monitor our customer accounts very closely in order to minimize the risk of uncollectible accounts.

Accounts payable increased to $2.9 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $1.6 million at year-end 2012, primarily due to the increase in inventory purchases during the second quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. Accrued expenses increased $163,000 from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013.

During the first six months of 2013, cash flow provided by operating activities was $2.2 million. Net income of $3.2 million and the increase in accounts payable of $1.3 million, offset by the increase in inventory of $1.6 million accounted for the operating cash provided. By comparison, during the first six months of 2012, cash flow used by operating activities was $4.2 million. The increase in inventory of $9.8 million, offset by net income of $3.1 million, the increase in accounts payable of $1.4 million and the increase in accrued liabilities of $1.4 million accounted for the majority of the operating cash used in the six months.

Cash flow used in investing activities totaled $2.0 million in the first half of 2013, consisting primarily of the building constructed to house our flagship store, which opened in June 2013, and purchases of store fixtures and computer equipment. In the first half of 2012, cash flow used in investing activities totaled $63,000, consisting primarily of purchases of store fixtures and computer equipment, partially offset by maturities of certificates of deposit.

Cash flow used in financing activities totaled $405,000 in the first six months of 2013, consisting solely of bank debt repayments. In the first six months of 2012, cash flow used in financing activities totaled $2.6 million, consisting of a special one-time cash dividend of $2.5 million and $101,000 in debt repayments.

We expect to fund our operating and liquidity needs as well as our store growth from a combination of current cash balances, internally generated funds, and our revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank. .

For disclosures about market risk affecting us, see Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
