PETMED EXPRESS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


Note 1:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Organization


PetMed Express, Inc. and subsidiaries, d/b/a 1-800-PetMeds (the “Company”), is a leading nationwide pet pharmacy.  The Company markets prescription and non-prescription pet medications and other health products for dogs, cats, and horses direct to the consumer.  The Company offers consumers an attractive alternative for obtaining pet medications in terms of convenience, price, and speed of delivery.  The Company markets its products through national television, online, and direct mail/print advertising campaigns, which aim to increase the recognition of the “1-800-PetMeds” brand name, and “PetMeds” family of trademarks, increase traffic on its website at www.1800petmeds.com, acquire new customers, and maximize repeat purchases.  The majority of the Company’s sales are to residents in the United States.  The Company’s executive offices are located in Pompano Beach, Florida.  The Company’s fiscal year end is March 31, and references herein to Fiscal 2011 or 2010 refer to the Company's fiscal years ending March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Basis of Presentation and Consolidation


The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2010, the Statements of Income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and Cash Flows for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.  The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.  The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PetMed Express, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.


FASB Codification Projects


In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") established the Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification” or “ASC”).  The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-01 “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” ASC Topic 105 which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the official single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All existing accounting standards are superseded and all other accounting guidance not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification also includes all relevant Securities and Exchange Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections within the Codification.  Following the Codification, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue the ASU which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification.  The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but it will change the way GAAP is organized and presented.  The Codification was effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 financial statements and the principal impact on our financial statements is limited to disclosures as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification.  In order to ease the transition to the Codification, we are providing the Codification cross-references alongside the references to the standards issued and adopted prior to the adoption of the Codification.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.




4






Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  The Company believes that the carrying amount of its long term investments approximate fair value.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


Note 2:

Net Income Per Share


In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260 (SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”) basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income per common share includes the dilutive effect of potential restricted stock and stock options exercised and the effects of the potential conversion of preferred shares, calculated using the treasury stock method.  Outstanding stock options, restricted stock, and convertible preferred shares issued by the Company represent the only dilutive effect reflected in diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the periods presented (in thousands, except for per share amounts):

At June 30, 2010 and 2009, all common restricted stock and stock options were included in the diluted net income per common share computation.  The exercise prices of the stock options were less than the average market price of the common shares for the period.


Note 3:

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation


The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and restricted stock in accordance with ASC Topic 718 (SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment,” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123).  The Company adopted the modified prospective transition method provided under ASC Topic 718 (SFAS No. 123R).   The compensation expense related to all of the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses.


The Company had 13,332 and 105,280 options outstanding under the PetMed Express, Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan (“1998 Plan”) at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Options generally vested ratably over a three-year period commencing on the first anniversary of the grant with respect to options granted to



5





employees/directors under the 1998 Plan.  No options have been issued since May 2005 and there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to vested stock option awards.  The 1998 Plan expired on July 31, 2008.  Cash received from stock options exercised for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $252,000 and $320,000, respectively.  The income tax benefits from stock options exercised totaled approximately $124,000 and $109,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.


The Company had 420,893 restricted common shares issued under the 2006 Employee Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (“Employee Plan”) and 92,000 restricted common shares issued under the 2006 Outside Director Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (“Director Plan”) at June 30, 2010, all shares of which were issued subject to a restriction or forfeiture period which will lapse ratably on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant, and the fair value of which is being amortized over the three-year restriction period.  The Company did not issue any shares of restricted stock during the quarter.  For the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $523,000 and $331,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the Employee and Director Plans.  At June 30, 2010 and 2009, there was $3.9 million and $1.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted stock awards, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over the next three years.


Note 4:

Short and Long Term Investments


The Company’s short term investment balance consists of short term bond mutual funds.  The Company’s long term investment portfolio consists of auction rate securities (“ARS”), which are investments with contractual maturities generally between 20 to 30 years, in the form of municipal bonds and preferred stock, whose interest rates are reset, typically every seven to twenty-eight days, through an auction process.  At the end of each reset period, investors can sell or continue to hold the securities at par.  Beginning in February 2008, auctions failed for the ARS held because sell orders exceeded buy orders.  These failures are not believed to be a credit issue, but rather are caused by a lack of liquidity.  The funds associated with these failed auctions may not be accessible until the issuer calls the security, a successful auction occurs, a buyer is found outside of the auction process, or the security matures.


As a result, these securities with failed auctions have been classified as long-term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet due to the fact that they were not currently trading at such date, and conditions in the general markets created uncertainty as to when successful auctions would be reestablished.  These ARS are recorded at estimated fair value and have variable interest rates that are recorded as interest income.  In accordance with ASC Topic 320 (SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities), short term investments are accounted for as available for sale securities, and long term investments are classified as available for sale, with any changes in fair value to be reflected in other comprehensive income.  The Company evaluates its long term investments for impairment and whether impairment is other-than-temporary, and, if other- than-temporary, then the measurement of the impairment loss is a charge to net income.  Unrealized gains and losses are deemed temporary and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.  The Company recognized a temporary impairment on its ARS investments during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009.  The Company does not believe that the underlying credit quality of the assets has been impacted; however the temporary impairment is mainly due to the lack of liquidity.  The Company is currently trying to liquidate all ARS.  The following is a summary of our investments:

The long term investment balances consist of ARS investments.  Our ARS consist of closed-end fund preferred ARS, with interest rates that reset, typically every seven to twenty-eight days. These ARS are currently rated AAA, the highest rating available by a rating agency. The fair value of our ARS investments was assessed by management with the assistance of an outside third party, which was conducted during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  During fiscal 2010, the Company was able to liquidate approximately $2.2 million of its ARS investments, at par.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company held $12.5 million in ARS, at par, which were classified as long term investments and the Company recorded an unrealized impairment loss of $107,875, within accumulated other comprehensive loss based upon an assessment by an outside third party.  The $107,875 impairment was



6





recorded as temporary due to the fact that the Company has the intent and the ability to hold these securities until anticipated recovery or maturity, and does expect to fully recover the cost basis of the investment.


Note 5:

Fair Value


Effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC Topic 820 (SFAS 157), except as it applies to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities subject to ASC Topic 320 (FSP SFAS 157-2).  ASC Topic 320 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. ASC Topic 820 (SFAS 157) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:


Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.


The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company’s cash equivalents are classified within Level 1, with the exception of the investments in ARS. The Company’s investments in ARS are classified within Level 3 because they are valued using a discounted cash flow model.  Some of the inputs to this model are unobservable in the market and are significant.  Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are summarized below:

Marketable securities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs are comprised of ARS. Although ARS would typically be measured using Level 2 inputs, the recent failure of auctions and the lack of market activity and liquidity required that these securities be measured using Level 3 inputs.  The discount rates that were applied to the pricing model were based on market conditions and rates for comparable or similar term asset-backed securities as well as other fixed income securities.

Commitments and Contingencies


In October 2009, the Company was notified that it was named as a defendant in a multi-defendant lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, seeking declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief styled Charles E. Hill & Associates, Inc. v. ABT Electronics, Inc., et al, Cause No. 2:09-CV-313.  The lawsuit alleges that the Company is infringing on patents related to electronic catalog systems.  The Company notified the vendor that provides it with Internet software that it was seeking indemnification, and at this time, subject to a reservation of rights set forth in the Master Licensing Agreement between the parties, and to a further assessment of the role of the vendor’s software in the matter, the vendor is supplying legal counsel at their expense.  However, at this stage it is difficult to assess the outcome or estimate any potential loss in the event of an adverse outcome.


The Company has settled complaints that had been filed with various states’ pharmacy boards in the past.  There can be no assurances made that other states will not attempt to take similar actions against the Company in the future.  The Company initiates litigation to protect its trade or service marks.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in protecting its trade or service marks.  Legal costs related to the above matters are expensed as incurred.


The Company is currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax year ended March 31, 2008.

Note 8:

Income Taxes


For the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded an income tax provision for approximately $4.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively.  The effective tax rate for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 39.3% and 36.2%, respectively.  The effective tax rate increase was due to a one time tax adjustment to reconcile the remaining net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”).  The NOLs were accumulated between 1996 and 2001.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2010 it was determined by the Company that there was a difference between the NOL per book and tax.  The Company’s reconcilement of the NOL resulted in a one time tax charge of approximately $280,000.  


Note 9:

Subsequent Event


On August 2, 2010 our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share.  The Board established an August 13, 2010 record date and an August 27, 2010 payment date.   Based on the outstanding share balance as of July 31, 2010 the Company estimates the dividend payable to be approximately $2.9 million.


In July 2010 the Company repurchased approximately 156,000 of its own shares for approximately $2.5 million.  


On July 30, 2010 the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 91,450 restricted shares to the employees and outside directors of the Company.  All shares which were issued are subject to a restriction or forfeiture period which will lapse ratably on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant, and the fair value is being amortized over the three-year restriction period.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


Executive Summary


PetMed Express was incorporated in the state of Florida in January 1996.  The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “PETS.”  The Company began selling pet medications and other pet health products in September 1996.  Presently, the Company’s product line includes approximately 750 of the most popular pet medications and other health products for dogs, cats, and horses. In March 2010 the Company started offering for sale additional pet supplies on its website, which will be drop shipped to customers by third parties.

 

The Company markets its products through national television, online, and direct mail/print advertising campaigns which aim to increase the recognition of the “1-800-PetMeds” brand name, and “PetMeds” family of trademarks, increase traffic on its website at www.1800petmeds.com, acquire new customers, and maximize repeat purchases.  Approximately 70% of all sales were generated via the Internet for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 67% for the same period ending June 30, 2009.  The Company’s sales consist of products sold mainly to retail consumers.  The Company’s sales returns average was approximately 1.6% and 1.4% of sales for the quarters ended on June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The three-month average purchase was approximately $82 and $84 per order for the quarters ended on June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.


Critical Accounting Policies


Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of our operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements and the data used to prepare them.  The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  On an ongoing basis we re-evaluate our judgments and estimates including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, and income taxes.  We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and our beliefs of what could occur in the future considering available information.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  Our estimates are guided by observing the following critical accounting policies.


Revenue recognition


The Company generates revenue by selling prescription and non-prescription pet medications and pet supplies primarily to retail consumers.  The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue from product sales upon shipment, when the rights of ownership and risk of loss have passed to the customer.  Outbound shipping and handling fees are included in sales and are billed upon shipment.  Shipping expenses are included in cost of sales.  The majority of the Company’s sales are paid by credit cards and the Company usually receives the cash settlement in two to three banking days.  Credit card sales minimize accounts receivable balances relative to sales.  The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for losses that the Company estimates will arise from customers’ inability to make required payments, arising from either credit card charge-backs or insufficient funds checks.  The Company determines its estimates of the uncollectibility of accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts and current economic trends.  At June 30, 2010 and 2009 the allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $7,000 and $67,000, respectively.


Valuation of inventory


Inventories consist of prescription and non-prescription pet medications and pet supplies that are available for sale and are priced at the lower of cost or market value using a weighted average cost method.  The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence.  The inventory reserve was approximately $40,000 and $122,000 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.


Advertising


The Company's advertising expense consists primarily of television advertising, Internet marketing, and direct mail/print advertising.  Television advertising costs are expensed as the advertisements are televised.  Internet costs are expensed in the month incurred and direct mail/print advertising costs are expensed when the related catalogs, brochures, and postcards are produced, distributed, or superseded.




10





Accounting for income taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740), which generally requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting carrying values and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse.


Results of Operations


The following should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere herein.  The following table sets forth, as a percentage of sales, certain operating data appearing in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income:

Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared With Three Months Ended June 30, 2009


Sales


Sales decreased by approximately $2.8 million, or 3.6%, to approximately $74.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, from approximately $77.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease in sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to decreased new order sales, offset by increased reorder sales. The decrease in new order sales may be attributed to a reduction in advertising spending for the quarter due to a shortage in the remnant television advertising inventory, along with a reduction in the average order size.  The Company has committed certain dollar amounts specifically designated towards television, direct mail/print, and online advertising to stimulate sales, create brand awareness, and acquire new customers.  The Company acquired approximately 220,000 new customers for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to approximately 297,000 new customers for the same period the prior year.

Sales may be adversely affected in fiscal 2011 due to increased retail and online competition and the lack of television remnant space availability at affordable prices. Television advertising has been the Company’s predominant marketing method for several years.  Historically, there has been a direct correlation between the amount of television advertising done by the Company and its sales.  Sales may also be affected by consumers giving more consideration to price and trading down to less expensive retail brands, which we may not carry.  In response to these trends, the Company is offering more promotions to our existing database and expanding our product offerings to encourage reorders and reactivate inactive customers.  However, there can be no assurances that the advertising strategies, as an alternative to television will have the same impact on our sales, and more aggressive sales promotions could also result in a decrease to gross profit margins.  No guarantees can be made that the Company’s efforts will be successful, or that sales will grow in the future.


The majority of our product sales are affected by the seasons, due to the seasonality of mainly heartworm, and flea and tick medications.  For the quarters ended June 30, September 30, December 31, and March 31 of fiscal 2010, the Company’s sales were approximately 33%, 26%, 20%, and 21%, respectively.


Cost of sales


Cost of sales decreased by approximately $739,000, or 1.5%, to approximately $47.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, from approximately $47.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease in cost of sales is directly related to the decrease in sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  As a percent of sales, the cost of sales was 63.4% and 62.0% for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The percentage increase can be mainly attributed to more aggressive sales promotions and increases in our product costs.


Gross profit


Gross profit decreased by approximately $2.1 million, or 7.0%, to approximately $27.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, from approximately $29.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 36.6% and 38.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The percentage decrease can be mainly attributed to more aggressive sales promotions and increases in our product costs.



12





General and administrative expenses


General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $285,000, or 4.4%, to approximately $6.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, from approximately $6.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to the following: a $103,000 decrease in professional fees, with the majority of the decrease relating to legal fees; a $57,000 decrease in insurance expenses, due to a reduction in insurance premiums; a $42,000 decrease to payroll expenses related to a reduction of employees in the customer care, pharmacy, and warehouse departments, offset by an increase in stock compensation; a $40,000 decrease in credit card and bank service fees which is directly attributable to the decrease in sales in the quarter; and a $43,000 net decrease in other expenses, including property expenses, bad debt expense, and travel expenses.


Advertising expenses


Advertising expenses decreased by approximately $1.1 million, or 10.5%, to approximately $8.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, from approximately $9.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease in advertising expenses for the quarter can be mainly attributed to a shortage in the remnant television advertising inventory.  During the quarter the Company planned to commit certain amounts specifically designated towards television, direct mail/print, and online advertising to stimulate sales, create brand awareness, and acquire new customers.  The advertising costs of acquiring a new customer, defined as total advertising costs divided by new customers acquired, was $40 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to $33 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  Advertising cost of acquiring a new customer can be impacted by the advertising environment, the effectiveness of our advertising creative, increased advertising spending, and price competition from veterinarians and other retailers of pet medications.  Historically, the advertising environment fluctuates due to supply and demand.  A more favorable advertising environment may positively impact future new order sales, whereas a less favorable advertising environment may negatively impact future new order sales.  As a percentage of sales, advertising expense was 11.9% and 12.8% for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The decrease in advertising expense as a percentage of total sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 can be attributed to a reduction in advertising spending.  The Company currently anticipates advertising as a percentage of sales to range between approximately 11.0% and 12.0% for fiscal 2011.  However, the advertising percentage will fluctuate quarter to quarter due to seasonality and advertising availability.  For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, quarterly advertising expenses as a percentage of sales ranged between 10% and 13%.


Depreciation and amortization expenses


Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by approximately $28,000, or 8.7%, to approximately $350,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, from approximately $322,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  This increase to depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 can be attributed to an increase in new property and equipment additions relating to the warehouse, pharmacy, and customer call centers expansion in fiscal 2009.


Other income


Other income increased by approximately $6,000, or 9.0%, to approximately $69,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 from approximately $63,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The increase to other income can be primarily attributed to increased interest income due to increased cash and investment balances and increased interest rates.  Interest income may decrease in the future as the Company utilizes its cash balances on its $20.0 million share repurchase plan, with approximately $9.3 million remaining as of June 30, 2010, on any quarterly dividend payment, or on its operating activities.


Provision for income taxes


For the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded an income tax provision for approximately $4.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively.  The effective tax rate for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 39.3% and 36.2%, respectively.  The effective tax rate increase was due to a one time tax adjustment to reconcile the remaining net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”).  The NOLs were accumulated between 1996 and 2001.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2010 it was determined by the Company that there was a difference between the NOL per book and tax.  The Company’s reconcilement of the NOL resulted in a one time tax charge of approximately $280,000.  The Company estimates its effective tax rate will be approximately 37.0% for fiscal 2011.



13





Liquidity and Capital Resources


     

The Company’s working capital at June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010 was $85.4 million and $79.4 million, respectively.  The $6.0 million increase in working capital was primarily attributable to cash flow generated from operations.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $26.5 million and $29.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Net cash used in investing activities was $10.1 million and $308,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  This change can be attributed to an increase in the Company’s short term investments during the quarter.  Net cash used in financing activities was $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $429,000 for the same period in the prior year.  This change was primarily due to the Company paying approximately $2.3 million in dividends for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and repurchasing 37,990 shares of its common stock for approximately $671,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to the Company not paying any dividends or repurchasing any shares of its common stock during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  As of June 30, 2010 the Company had approximately $9.3 million remaining under the Company’s share repurchase plan.  On August 2, 2010 our Board of Directors declared a $0.125 per share dividend.  The Board established an August 13, 2010 record date and an August 27, 2010 payment date.  Depending on future market conditions the Company may utilize its cash and cash equivalents on the remaining balance of its current share repurchase plan, on quarterly dividends, or on its operating activities.


The Company had $12.5 million, at par, invested in ARS which were classified as long term investments in our financial statements as of June 30, 2010.  Our ARS investments are not mortgage-backed based but are municipal-based and the securities underlying the ARS are currently rated AAA, the highest rating available by a rating agency.  Our ARS consist of closed-end fund preferred ARS, whose interest rates are reset, typically every seven to twenty-eight days. In fiscal 2010, the fair value of investments was based upon a valuation assessment by an outside third party.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company held $12.5 million in ARS, at par, which were classified as long term investments.  The Company recorded an unrealized impairment loss of $107,875, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, within accumulated other comprehensive loss, based upon an assessment of the fair value of these ARS.  The $107,875 impairment was recorded as temporary due to the fact that the Company has both the ability and intent to hold these securities until anticipated recovery or maturity.  However, it could take until the final maturity or issuer refinancing of the underlying debt for us to realize the recorded value of our investments in these securities.  If the issuers of our ARS are unable to successfully close future auctions or redeem or refinance the securities and their credit ratings deteriorate, we may in the future be required to record an additional impairment charge on these investments, or may need to sell these securities on a secondary market.  Although we believe we will be able to liquidate our investments in these securities without any significant loss, the timing and financial impact of such an outcome is uncertain.  Based on our expected cash expenditures, our cash and cash equivalents balance, and other potential sources of cash, we do not anticipate that the potential lack of liquidity of these investments in the near term will adversely affect our ability to execute our current business plan.


As of June 30, 2010 the Company had no outstanding lease commitments except for the lease for its 65,300 square foot facility.  We are not currently bound by any long or short term agreements for the purchase or lease of capital expenditures.  Any amounts expended for capital expenditures would be the result of an increase in the capacity needed to adequately provide for any increase in our business.  To date we have paid for any needed additions to our capital equipment infrastructure from working capital funds and anticipate this being the case in the future. Presently, we have approximately $625,000 forecasted for capital expenditures which will be funded through cash from operations.  The Company’s source of working capital includes cash from operations and the exercise of stock options.  The Company presently has no need for alternative sources of working capital, and has no commitments or plans to obtain additional capital.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2010.

events, these statements involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.  Actual future results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  A reader, whether investing in our common stock or not, should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this quarterly report.   When used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, "PetMed Express," "1-800-PetMeds," "PetMeds," "PetMed," "PetMeds.com," "PetMed.com," "PetMed Express.com," "the Company,"  "we," "our," and "us" refers to PetMed Express, Inc. and our subsidiaries.


ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.


Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the value of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices.  Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short and long term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.  The book values of cash equivalents, short and long term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.  Interest rates affect our return on excess cash and investments.  As of June 30, 2010, we had $66.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, $10.0 million in short term investments, and $12.4 million in long term investments.  A majority of our cash and cash equivalents and investments generate interest income based on prevailing interest rates.  


A significant change in interest rates would impact the amount of interest income generated from our excess cash and investments.  It would also impact the market value of our investments.  Our investments are subject to market risk, primarily interest rate and credit risk.  Our investments are managed by a limited number of outside professional managers within investment guidelines set by our Board of Directors.  Such guidelines include security type, credit quality, and maturity, and are intended to limit market risk by restricting our investments to high-quality debt instruments with both short and long term maturities.  We do not hold any derivative financial instruments that could expose us to significant market risk.  At June 30, 2010, we had no debt obligations.


ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date").  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective such that the information relating to our Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act: (1) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  There have been no significant changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report.
