(Unaudited)
(1) GENERAL
ValueVision International, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("ValueVision" or the
"Company") is an integrated direct marketing company which markets its products
directly to consumers through electronic and print media.
The Company's principal electronic media activity is its television home
shopping network which uses recognized on-air television home shopping
personalities to market brand name merchandise and proprietary and private label
consumer products at competitive or discount prices. The Company's 24-hour per
day television home shopping programming is distributed primarily through
long-term cable affiliation agreements and the purchase of month-to-month full-
and part-time block lease agreements of cable and broadcast television time. In
addition, the Company distributes its programming through Company owned or
affiliated full power Ultra-High Frequency ("UHF") broadcast television
stations, low power television ("LPTV") stations and to satellite dish owners.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ValueVision Direct
Marketing Company, Inc., d/b/a Montgomery Ward Direct ("VVDM"), is a direct-mail
marketer of a broad range of quality general merchandise which is sold to
consumers through direct-mail catalogs and other direct marketing solicitations.
Products offered include domestics, housewares, home accessories and
electronics. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Catalog Ventures, Inc.
("CVI"), the Company sells a variety of fashion jewelry, health and beauty aids,
books, audio and video cassettes and other related consumer merchandise through
the publication of five consumer specialty catalogs. The Company also
manufactures and markets, via direct-mail, women's foundation undergarments
through its wholly-owned subsidiary Beautiful Images, Inc. ("BII").
Results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1997
include the direct- mail operations of VVDM, BII, and CVI, which were acquired
by the Company effective July 27, 1996, October 22, 1996 and November 1, 1996,
respectively.
(2) BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and
reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for
a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes
the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information
not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its fiscal 1997
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the nine-month period
7
VALUEVISION INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1997
(Unaudited)
ended October 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 1998.
Certain amounts in the fiscal 1997 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the fiscal 1998 presentation with no impact on
previously reported net income (loss) or shareholders' equity.
(3) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company computes net income (loss) per share based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents
outstanding, if any, during the period. The difference between primary and fully
diluted net income (loss) per share and weighted average number of shares
outstanding was not material or was antidilutive, and therefore not presented
separately.
(4) SALE OF BROADCAST STATIONS
On July 31, 1997, the Company completed the sale of its television
broadcast station, WVVI (TV) Channel 66, which serves the Washington, D.C.
market, to Paxson Communications Corporation ("Paxson"). The station was sold
for approximately $30 million in cash and 1,197,892 shares of Paxson
Communications Corporation common stock valued at $11.92 per share as
determined pursuant to an independent financial appraisal. WVVI (TV) was
acquired by the Company in March 1994 for approximately $4,850,000. The pre-tax
gain recorded on the sale of this television station was $38,850,000 and was
recognized in the second quarter ended July 31, 1997.
On November 17, 1997, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell to
Paxson Communications Corporation its television broadcast station, KBGE-TV,
Channel 33, which serves the Seattle, Washington market along with two of
ValueVision's non-cable, low-power stations in Portland, Oregon and
Indianapolis, Indiana and minority interests in entities which have applied for
two new full-power stations for a total of $35 million in cash. Under the terms
of the agreement, Paxson will pay the Company $25 million upon closing and the
remaining $10 million is to be paid when KBGE, which is currently operating at
reduced power from downtown Seattle, is able to relocate and increase its
transmitter/antenna power to a level at or near its licensed full power. The
transaction is anticipated to close in the Spring of 1998 and is subject to
obtaining certain consents and regulatory approval. ValueVision will retain and
continue to serve the Seattle market via its recently-launched low-power station
K58DP-TV, which transmits from downtown Seattle. The effects of the disposition
will be reflected in the financial statements at the date of closing. Management
believes that the sale will not have a significant impact on the operations of
the Company.
The Company has filed applications for seven additional full-power stations, all
of which include multiple applicants, and expects to participate in
FCC-permitted private auctions to determine the grantee.

(5) MONTGOMERY WARD RESTRUCTURING
On October 23, 1997, the Company announced the restructuring of its
operating agreement with Montgomery Ward & Co., Incorporated
("Montgomery Ward" or "MW"), which governs the use of the Montgomery Ward name.
In exchange for Montgomery Ward's return to ValueVision of warrants covering
the purchase of 3.8 million shares of ValueVision common stock, the Company
will cede exclusive use of the Montgomery Ward name for catalog, mail order,
catalog "syndications" and television shopping programming back to Montgomery
Ward. Under the agreement, which requires the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy
court of Delaware, the Company will cease the use of the Montgomery Ward name
in all outgoing catalog, syndication, and mail order communication by March 31,
1998, with a wind down of incoming orders and customer service permitted after
March 31, 1998. The agreement also includes the reduction of Montgomery Ward's
minimum commitment to support ValueVision's cable television spot advertising
purchases. Under the new terms, Montgomery Ward's commitment is reduced from $4
million to $2 million annually, and the time period decreased from five years
to three years commencing effective November 1, 1997. In addition, the
agreement limits the Company to offer the Montgomery Ward credit card only in
conjunction with its various television offers and subject to the normal
approvals by the credit card grantor. Upon the closing of the transaction in
its fiscal 1998 fourth quarter, the Company plans to account for the
transaction as an exchange or disposition of assets at fair value, in
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29.
The return of the warrants represents consideration given by MW for the assets
relinquished by the Company. The warrant return will be reflected as a
reduction in shareholders' equity for the fair value of the warrants, and the
intangible asset amounts reflecting the assets sold back to MW will be reduced
accordingly to their remaining estimated fair values as determined through
analysis of future cash flows and benefits to be received. To the extent that
any difference exists between the consideration given by the Company (the
assets sold back to MW) and the consideration received (the warrants returned
to the Company), such difference will be reflected in the Company's statement
of operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company does not
currently anticipate that any such difference will be material. The agreement
also calls for the repurchase by the Company of 1,280,000 shares of its common
stock currently owned by Montgomery Ward, at a price of $3.80 per share.
Management does not anticipate that this restructuring will have any other
material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity.
(6) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128")
in February 1997. SFAS No. 128 establishes accounting standards for computing
and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and is effective for reporting
periods ending after December 15, 1997. Management believes that the adoption
of SFAS No. 128 will not have a material impact on the Company's calculation of
EPS.
The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No.
131") in June 1997. SFAS No. 131 requires that public business enterprises
report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires selected information in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers and is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
