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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. 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, 2013.

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 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
	March 31, 2014	December 31, 2013
Inventory on hand:
Finished goods held for sale	$26,633,088	$24,546,771
Raw materials and work in process	884,798	853,200
Inventory in transit	3,014,636	900,859
	$30,532,522	$26,300,830

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, 2013, 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 quarter of 2014.

A summary of changes in our goodwill for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

	Leather Factory	Tandy Leather	Total
Balance, December 31, 2012	$607,319	$383,406	$990,725

	Gross	Accumulated Amortization	Net	Gross	Accumulated Amortization	Net
Trademarks, Copyrights	$544,369	$495,592	$48,777	$544,369	$487,891	$56,478

	$724,525	$632,665	$91,860	$725,585	$622,357	$103,228

We recorded amortization expense of $11,368 during the first quarter of 2014 compared to $8,526 during the first quarter of 2013. All of our intangible assets, other than goodwill, 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
2014	$455	$33,337	$33,792
2015	-	28,635	28,635
2016	-	2,000	2,000
2017	-	-	-
2018	-	-	-

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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 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.

In July 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” to eliminate the diversity in practice associated with the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in instances where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 generally requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except in certain circumstances. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. Under the new guidance, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This guidance also changes an entity’s requirements when presenting, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity, or a business or nonprofit activity. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of the new requirements is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows.

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. Under the terms of the Line of Credit Note, we could borrow from time to time until April 30, 2008, up to the lesser of $5,500,000 or 90% of the cost of the property and make monthly payments. Proceeds in the amount of $4,050,000 were used to fund the purchase of the property from Standard Motor Products, Inc. under an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, dated June 25, 2007, which closed on July 31, 2007. No further borrowings were drawn. On April 30, 2008, the principal balance was rolled into a 10-year term note with an interest rate of 7.10% per annum.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the amount outstanding under the above agreement consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2014	December 31, 2013
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	$2,548,125	$2,598,750
	2,548,125	2,598,750
Less - Current maturities	(202,500)	(202,500)
	$2,345,625	$2,396,250

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 revolver bears interest at LIBOR plus 2% (2.15% at March 31, 2014) and was to mature on June 30, 2013. On June 25, 2013, we executed a Note Modification Agreement which extended the maturity date of the Line of Credit Note to June 30, 2014. All other terms remain unchanged. Interest is paid monthly. The note was obtained for working capital purposes and is secured by the real estate and improvements located at 1900 Southeast Loop 820, Fort Worth Texas. No amounts were outstanding under this Line of Credit Note as of March 31, 2014.

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 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. These options vest and become exercisable six months from the option grant date. Options outstanding and exercisable were granted at a stock option price which was not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the option was granted and no option has a term in excess of ten years. No options were granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. We recognized share based compensation expense of $0 and $5,843 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as a component of operating expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 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

Other information pertaining to option activity during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

	March 31, 2014	March 31, 2013
Weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted	N/A	$11,686
Total fair value of stock options vested	N/A	N/A

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have a restricted stock plan that was adopted by our Board of Directors in January 2013 and approved by our stockholders in June 2013. The plan reserves up to 300,000 shares of our common stock for restricted stock awards to our executive officers, non-employee directors and other key employees. Awards granted under the plan may be stock awards or performance awards, and may be subject to a graded vesting schedule with a minimum vesting period of four years.

In February 2014, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President were awarded restricted stock grants consisting of 9,375 shares each. In addition, four of our independent directors were awarded restricted stock grants consisting of 1,619 shares each. The grants will vest in equal annual amounts over a four-year period. The fair value of nonvested restricted common stock awards is the market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Compensation costs for these awards will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the four year vesting period.

A summary of the activity for nonvested restricted common stock awards as of March 31, 2014 is presented below:

	Shares	Grant Fair Value
Balance, January 1, 2014	-	-
Granted	34,601	$8.96
Forfeited	-	-
Vested	-	-
Balance, March 31, 2014	34,601	$8.96

Total unrecognized compensation expense for the nonvested restricted stock awards as of March 31, 2014 totals $310,025 and is expected to be recognized in equal annual amounts over a period of four years.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

5. 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 transferred to the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division (“Court”), and an amended complaint was filed on May 9, 2011 by plaintiffs to add another former employee, Donna Cavota, as a third named plaintiff. The suit alleged that we violated requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as well as various state wage laws. Plaintiffs sought 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 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 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 underlying the 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 joined 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 persons employed by us as store managers between November 23, 2008 and September 24, 2012 to join the lawsuit as class members 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) was required to make payments to the plaintiffs and those existing and former store managers 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 were made from the Escrow Account pursuant to the formula set forth in the Settlement Agreement by the claims administrator, 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, including our required FICA payments based on the settlement payments, was $744,273 from the total Escrow Account of $993,386. All payments were made by the claims administrator and the balance of the Escrow Account (approximately $249,000) was returned to us in the first quarter of 2014.

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 the plaintiffs and the class members, plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, and the fees and expenses of the claims administrator (Escrow Agent) in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a benefit of approximately $312,000, which was the expected remaining balance in the Escrow Account after all payments have been made. Payroll taxes associated with the payments to claimants of approximately $63,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013.

We are periodically involved in various other litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business and operations. There are no such matters pending that we expect to 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.

We do not have any significant long-lived assets outside of the United States.

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 6 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 only customers are 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 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 May 1, 2014, we were operating 80 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 continue opening international stores in the future, but do not intend to open any new stores in 2014.

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, 2013.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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, without limitation, 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, 2013 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 in the United States and abroad.

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. Changes in consumers’ product preferences or lack of acceptance of our products with respect to which costs have increased 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 Leathercraft 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. Such 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 as a results, 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 those new stores will be profitable. If we are unable to successfully open new stores or our new stores are not profitable, our business and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

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. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect our business and our results of operations.

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.

Results of Operations

The following tables present selected financial data of each of our three segments for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

	Quarter Ended March 31, 2014		Quarter Ended March 31, 2013

Wholesale Leathercraft reported a sales increase of 1.4%. Income from operations on a consolidated basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 increased 13.2%, or $346,000, from the first quarter of 2013 due to the improvement in gross profit margin.

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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Wholesale Leathercraft

Our Wholesale Leathercraft operation consists of 29 wholesale stores and our National Account sales group. The National Account sales group’s customers consist of national craft chains only. The following table presents the combined sales mix by customer categories for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Quarter ended
Customer Group	03/31/14	03/31/13
RETAIL (end users, consumers, individuals)	43%	35%
INSTITUTION (prisons, prisoners, hospitals, schools, youth organizations, etc.)	4%	6%
WHOLESALE (resellers & distributors, saddle & tack shops, authorized dealers, etc.)	40%	46%
MANUFACTURERS	7%	7%
NATIONAL ACCOUNTS	6%	6%
	100%	100%

Net sales increased 1.4%, or $94,000, for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013 as follows:

	# Stores	Qtr Ended 03/31/14	# Stores	Qtr Ended 03/31/13	$ Change	% Change
Same store sales	29	$6,481,121	29	$6,444,321	$36,800	0.6%
National account group		342,847		285,413	57,434	20.1%
Total sales	29	$6,823,968	29	$6,729,734	$94,234	1.4%

Sales to our retail and manufacturing customers increased in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, while sales to our wholesale and institution group customers were down slightly. Sales to our national account customers, while declining over time due to the elimination of certain products from our product line that these customers were buying (as these products have not historically provided an acceptable gross profit margin), increased this quarter due to one-time sales of certain close-out items. Income from operations for Wholesale Leathercraft during the current quarter increased by $360,000 from the comparative 2013 quarter, an increase of 35%.

An increase in gross profit of $365,000 contributed to the improvement in income from operations, while operating expenses held steady against last year’s first quarter expenses. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from 61.9% in the first quarter of 2013 to 66.4% in the first quarter of 2014, due to an increase in sales to our retail customers, which brings higher gross profit margins, and more sales of non-leather products, which also brings higher gross profit margins than that of leather sales. Operating expenses increased slightly as a percentage of sales, increasing only $5,000 compared to last year’s comparable period. Expense increases occurred in legal and professional fees, supplies, repairs/maintenance, and depreciation. This was offset by a decrease in advertising and marketing expenses.

Retail Leathercraft

Our Retail Leathercraft operation consists of 80 Tandy Leather Company retail stores at March 31, 2014 compared to 78 stores at March 31, 2013. Net sales increased 3.4% for the first quarter of 2014 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 03/31/14	# Stores	Qtr Ended 03/31/13	$ Change	% Change
Same store sales	76	$11,610,085	76	$11,394,666	$215,419	1.9%
New store sales	4	346,269	-	-	346,269	N/A
Closed store sales	2	-	2	165,195	(165,195)	N/A
Total sales	80	$11,956,354	78	$11,559,861	$396,493	3.4%

The following table presents sales mix by customer categories for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 for our Retail Leathercraft operation:

	Quarter ended
Customer Group	03/31/14	03/31/13
RETAIL (end users, consumers, individuals)	62%	62%
INSTITUTION (prisons, prisoners, hospitals, schools, youth organizations, etc.)	3%	3%
WHOLESALE (resellers & distributors, saddle & tack shops, authorized dealers, etc.)	33%	33%
NATIONAL ACCOUNTS	-	-
MANUFACTURERS	2%	2%
	100%	100%

Sales to retail, wholesale, and manufacturer customer groups increased over the first quarter of 2013, while sales to our institution customer group declined slightly over the same period.

Income from operations decreased $42,000, or 2.8%, from the comparative 2013 quarter due to an increase in operating expenses offset partially by an increase in gross profit. Our gross profit increased by $337,000 from the prior period primarily due to higher sales. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales rose from 48.8% in the first quarter of 2013 to 50.4% in the first quarter of 2014. The increase in operating expenses of $379,000 compared to the first quarter of 2013 was caused by increases in employee compensation and benefits ($163,000), rent and utilities expense ($95,000), depreciation ($47,000), and travel expenses ($40,000). A portion of these expense increases were attributable to the four new stores opened since November 2013.

International Leathercraft

International Leathercraft consists of all stores located outside of North America. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the segment contained three stores located in United Kingdom, Australia, and Spain. This segment’s sales totaled $1,058,000 for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $948,000 in the first quarter of 2013, an improvement of 11.6%. Operating expenses totaled $566,000 in the first quarter of 2014, up from $511,000 in the first quarter of 2013. Employee compensation is this segment’s largest expense, followed by advertising and marketing expenses, rent, travel, and shipping costs to customers.

Other Expenses

We paid $46,000 in interest on our bank debt in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $56,000 in the first quarter of 2013. We recorded an expense of $8,000 for currency fluctuations in the first quarter of 2014. Comparatively, in the first quarter of 2013, we recorded income of $13,000 for currency fluctuations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Capital Resources, Liquidity and Financial Condition

On our consolidated balance sheet, total assets increased from $56.4 million at year-end 2013 to $58.6 million at March 31, 2014. Total stockholders’ equity increased from $44.6 million at December 31, 2013 to $46.3 million at March 31, 2014, the increase being attributable to our net income earned in the first quarter of 2014. Our current ratio decreased slightly from 5.0 at December 31, 2013 to 4.9 at March 31, 2014 due primarily to the increase in accounts payable during the first quarter of 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, our investment in inventory increased by $4.2 million from year-end 2013. Inventory turnover reached an annualized rate of 2.8 times during the first quarter of 2014, decreasing from 3.0 times for the first quarter of 2013. Inventory turnover was 3.0 times for all of 2013. We compute our inventory turns as sales divided by average inventory.

Trade accounts receivable was approximately $887,000 at March 31, 2014, up $124,000 from $762,000 at year-end 2013. The average days to collect accounts decreased to 36 days for the first quarter of 2014, an improvement from the average days to collect accounts in the first quarter of 2013 of 40 days. We are constantly monitoring our customer accounts very closely in order to minimize the risk of uncollectible accounts in the current economic environment. Our allowance for doubtful accounts decreased from year-end 2013 to March 31, 2014 as a result of our collecting a number of various older accounts, which also contributed to the reduction in the days outstanding.

Accounts payable increased approximately $843,000 to $2.7 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $1.9 million at year-end 2013 due to the increase in inventory during the quarter. Accrued expenses decreased from $5.8 million at December 31, 2013 to $5.2 million at March 31, 2014. The payment of the 2013 manager bonuses during the first quarter of 2014 accounted for the reduction.

During the first quarter of 2014, cash flow used by operating activities was $1.4 million. The increase in inventory of $4.2 million, offset by net income of $1.9 million and the increase in accounts payable of approximately $843,000 accounted for the use of operating cash during the first quarter of 2014.

By comparison, during the first quarter of 2013, cash flow provided by operating activities was approximately $495,000. Net income of $1.6 million and the reduction of inventory of approximately $504,000, offset by the reduction in accrued expenses of $1.4 million accounted for the majority of the operating cash provided in the first quarter of 2013.

Cash flow used by investing activities totaled approximately $632,000 in the first quarter of 2014, consisting primarily of the purchase of store fixtures, factory equipment, and computer equipment. In the first quarter of 2013, cash used by investing activities totaled approximately $986,000, consisting primarily of building construction in progress of our flagship store, which opened in June 2013, and store fixture purchases.

Cash flow used by financing activities totaled $51,000 in both the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, consisting entirely of debt repayments.

We expect to fund our operating and liquidity needs as well as our store growth from a combination of current cash balances and internally generated funds.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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, 2013. We believe that our exposure to market risks has not changed significantly since December 31, 2013. We expect that our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk will increase as our international presence increases.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management team, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the last day of the fiscal period covered by this report, March 31, 2014. The term disclosure controls and procedures means our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
