“Imagine The Smiles” 

Throughout fiscal 2012 we expanded our industry leading position in Social and Mobile with innovative customer 
engagement programs on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and with thousands of influential bloggers.  These 
programs enhanced the relevance of our brand messaging by reaching customers via their preferred modes of com-
munication – at the right time and with the right products to help them deliver smiles.  Building on this concept, we 
kicked off fiscal 2013 by launching our “Summer of A Million Smiles” campaign 
– a community-based outreach program involving associates across all of our 
brands, as well as our BloomNet Florists, participating in volunteer efforts in 
their local neighborhoods and then sharing their smile stories with our custom-
ers via our growing social networks. The Summer of A Million Smiles program 
illustrates our holistic approach to integrating Social and Mobile communica-
tions into all facets of our customer engagement. And, we’re happy to report, 
we have significantly exceeded our goal of delivering one million smiles and 
are looking forward to expanding our Imagine The Smiles initiative to deliver 
many millions more in the years to come.

ness.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company made the strategic decision to divest its Home & Children’s Gifts business segment to focus on its core

To Our Shareholders

      Fiscal 2012 was another very good year for our company. The strong top 
and bottom line results we achieved, coming on top of fiscal 2011’s strong 
results, reflect the positive trends in all three of our business segments that we 
have been seeing for several years now.
      These positive trends, including solid revenue growth, reflecting increases 
in both average order value and unit sales, as well as enhanced operating 
expense ratio and strong second-half improvement in gross profit margin, 
enabled us to again deliver double digit EBITDA and EPS growth for the year. 
We achieved these results by continuing 
to focus on managing those aspects 
of our business that we can control, 
including our focus on:  

n Growing order volumes with efficient 
  marketing spending across traditional 
  channels as well as the increasingly 

important areas of Social and  
Mobile where we have built a 
leadership role through our early 
investments and initiatives; 

n Growing average order value 

through product development 
  efforts focused on truly original 
  products that resonate with 
  our customers; 

n Growing gross margins in 
  our Consumer Floral business 
through a combination of 

  marketing messages that tell our 
  customers to “Wow” their recipients 
  and “Never Settle For Less,” along with disciplined 
  promotional activities and enhanced operational efficiencies, and  

n Reducing our operating expense ratio by leveraging our operating  

platform throughout the enterprise.  

Strong Financial and customer Results
      Total consolidated revenues grew 7.6 percent to $716.3 million in fiscal 
2012 on a comparable, non-GAAP basis (excluding the 53rd week in fiscal 
2011, compared with 52 weeks in fiscal 2012).  Gross Profit Margin, which was 
41.0 percent for the year, compared with 41.2 percent in the prior year, in-
creased 100 basis points during the second half of the fiscal year – a positive 
trend that we expect to build on in fiscal 2013. And operating expense ratio 
improved 90 basis points to 38.3 percent. 
      In addition to significant increases in EBITDA and EPS for fiscal 2012,  
we also grew Free Cash Flow 65.9 percent, or $9.0 million, to $22.9 million.  

      Along with strong financial results, during fiscal 2012 we also achieved  
a number of important strategic objectives:

investment in iFlorist in the UK, we are excited about the opportunities 
we see internationally as our customers become increasingly global; 

n We continued to evolve our 1-800-Baskets business where we see cus-

tomers increasingly embracing our expanded product offering for their 
everyday gifting needs – and – where we’ve launched a new baskets  

     program for our BloomNet professional florists, enhancing their  

same-day gifting offering; 

           n We made changes in man- 
                  agement and our sourcing 
                and sales processes within our  
              wholesale baskets operations,  
               resulting in our outlook for a  
                return to positive growth in  
              sales and contribution margin  
            in fiscal 2013, and

           n We continued to make 
                investments in our multi-   

                                     branded portal and our  
                                      industry leading Social and  
                Mobile programs to further  
                 enhance customer 
                   engagement and customer  
                   experience.

consumer Floral: 
           Extending market Leadership
                                                                                    During fiscal 2012, we extended 
                                                                             our market leadership in our core   
                                                                        Consumer Floral business. For the year, 
                                                          we grew revenues nearly eight percent, or $29 
million to roughly $400 million. Gross margin and average order value in this 
category increased again, with gross margin up 90 basis points on top of fis-
cal 2011’s significant gains and average order value up five percent to $71.00 
for the year.  These results illustrate the effectiveness of our marketing and 
merchandising programs focused on engaging directly with our customers 
to deepen our relationships and help them deliver smiles.
      In Merchandising, our focus on new product development – working 
directly with BloomNet professional florists in our Design Counsel – has 
resulted in several hit products, including:

s Our expanded line of “A-Dog-Able” floral baskets – the irresistible floral 
puppies that have grown into a tremendous hit with our customers,

s Our “new and improved” Happy Hour collection of handdesigned floral 

cocktails that are perfect for toasting any celebration, 

s Our new, exclusive Vase Expressions line of uniquely customizable  

vases, including easy-to-use photo and graphics uploading capabilities 
for truly personalized gifting, and

n We executed a 62-store deal with a leading national franchise operator for 
our Fannie May Fine Chocolates business, significantly accelerating our 
efforts to expand this iconic brand nationally;

s Our “store-within-a-store” collections featuring exclusive “artisanal”  

offerings of orchids, sunflowers, roses and even one-of-a-kind bonsai 
plants for the true gifting connoisseur. 

n We expanded our floral franchising initiative where we continue to hear 
from BloomNet florists who would like to elevate their relationship with  
us by becoming 1-800-flowers franchisees;

n We sold a non-strategic asset in our winery services business,  

providing $12 million in cash;

n We launched our FruitBouquets.com business – a new line of beautifully 
hand-crafted, fresh fruit arrangements – that we believe represents a 
significant growth opportunity for us and for our franchisees;  

n We continued to plant seeds for international growth with an equity 
investment in Flores Online in Brazil.  Combined with our ongoing  

Our mantra: Delivering Smiles
      In Marketing, we continue to focus on deepening our relationships 
with our customers through our messaging that emphasizes our “Deliver-
ing Smiles” mantra, as well as our floral heritage.  Throughout the year we 
expanded our industry leading position in Social and Mobile with innovative 
customer engagement programs on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest 
and with thousands of influential bloggers.   These programs enhanced the 
relevance of our brand messaging by reaching customers via their preferred 
modes of communication, at the right time and with the right products to 
help them deliver smiles.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
BloomNet Growing its market Position
      Also within Floral, our BloomNet wire service achieved double-digit top 
and bottom-line growth for fiscal 2012, representing a second consecutive 
year of strong results.  BloomNet has become the growth and innovation 
leader in the wire service business by providing florists with exciting,  
incremental sales opportunities, such as:
s our new Fruit Bouquets line,
s our same-day gift baskets program,
s our exclusive Essentials line of vases and glassware,
s our Floriology magazine, and
s our print and unique digital directories, with enhanced search and 

advertising capabilities. 

      In addition, BloomNet offers industry-accredited educational and “com-
munity building” programs through our training center in Jacksonville, 
Florida and in seminars across the country. These programs are designed to 
help florists increase their customer traffic and enhance their profitability.   
As a result of these efforts, BloomNet is growing its market position as it 
deepens its relationships with professional florists throughout the country.

Ecommerce Leads the Way for Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets
      During fiscal 2012, our Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets segment achieved 
increased total revenues reflecting strong ecommerce growth in our Cheryl’s, 
1-800-Baskets.com and The Popcorn Factory brands as well as wholesale 
channel growth for our Fannie May Fine Chocolates business.  This growth 
more than offset the loss of revenues associated with the sale of 17 Fannie 
May retail stores during the second quarter of the year.  
      The strategic sale of the stores was part of a 62-store franchise deal with a 
leading national franchise operator that includes an additional 45 new stores 
to be opened over three years. This deal significantly accelerated our Fannie 
May franchising program and, in addition to other franchise agreements 
already signed or in development, will provide multiple benefits to the iconic 
Fannie May brand including enhanced growth opportunities across our 
ecommerce, retail and wholesale channels. 
      The positive growth in this segment was achieved despite continued 
headwinds associated with our wholesale baskets business during the 
year. Both revenues and profitability were impacted again in fiscal 2012 by 
reduced order volumes. Fortunately, for fiscal 2013, we will see a rebound 
in this business in terms of revenue and contribution growth based on 
increased orders received from key accounts.  
      Also in this category, during the first quarter of the year we completed the 
sale of our winery services business – a non-strategic asset – receiving $12 
million in cash and recording an after-tax gain of $4.5 million. This enabled 
us to further strengthen our balance sheet and to focus on growing our 
direct-to-consumer wine business under the Winetasting.com and Napa 
Connection brands.

multi-channel/ multi-Brand Retail Strategy
      We have a multi-channel business model that emphasizes ecommerce 
while including wholesale and a local retail presence, both company-owned  
and increasingly through franchising, as illustrated by our Fannie May  
franchise store deal.  
      During fiscal 2012, we continued the evolution of our ecommerce  
platform and expanded our cross-brand marketing and merchandising  
capabilities via the launch of our multi-brand website, adding tabs for 
Fannie May, Cheryl’s and The Popcorn Factory brands.  This effort builds 
on the success of our 1-800-Baskets.com brand by further leveraging the  
significant web traffic and multi-million customer base of our core 
1-800-FLOWERS.COM brand.  Results from this initiative, while still early, 
have been very encouraging in terms of increased cross-brand awareness 
and positive trends in customer traffic and conversion rates for our 
Gourmet Food gift brands. 

      On the Social front, we were very pleased to be cited in media reports 
throughout the year as a leader in the use of social channels to enhance 
engagement and deepen our customer relationships.  We believe our  
initiatives with Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest and other leaders  
in the Social space, illustrate the strength of the 1-800-FLOWERS.COM 
brand – and our family of great Gourmet Food gift brands – as well as  
our relevance as a leading gift destination for the many millions of users  
of these services.  
      On the Mobile front, during fiscal 2012, we continued to build on 
the leadership position the 1-800-FLOWERS.COM brand has in Mobile 
Commerce, adding new features and functionality to our award winning 
mobile commerce site. We are using our experience in this area to expand 
our mobile footprint, rolling out enhanced mobile sites for our Gourmet 
Food and Gift Basket brands in fiscal 2013.  

Solid Balance Sheet and Growing cash
      Continuing our focus on further strengthening our balance sheet, we 
finished fiscal 2012 virtually net-debt free with a year-end cash and invest-
ments position of  $28.9 million, up from $21.4 million at the end of fiscal 
2011, no borrowings under our revolving credit line and long-term debt 
of approximately $29.3 million.  During fiscal 2013, we expect to further 
reduce our term debt by an additional $16 million through regularly  
scheduled quarterly payments while growing our cash position.   

Regarding Guidance
      For fiscal 2013, we anticipate achieving revenue growth across all three 
of our business segments resulting in consolidated revenue growth for the 
year in the mid-single-digit range.  In addition, we expect to achieve con-
tinued improvements in gross profit margin and operating leverage during 
the year.  As a result, we anticipate growing EBITDA and EPS on a compara-
tive basis (adjusted for the gain from the sale of 17 Fannie May stores) at a 
double-digit pace in fiscal 2013.  In terms of Free Cash Flow, we expect to 
again exceed $20 million for the year.  

Looking Ahead: Building on Positive Trends 
      As we enter fiscal 2013, we feel good about:

s the positive trends we are seeing across all three of our business  

segments in terms of revenue growth, enhanced gross margins and 
increasing contributions;

  s our financial strength, including our balance sheet with essentially  

zero net debt and an outlook for growing cash flows, which positions  
us well to invest strategically for future growth; 

s and the deepening relationships we have with our customers based  

on our unique ability to help them deliver smiles. 

      We believe the positive trends and the initiatives we’ve described to 
you across all of our brands and businesses will enable us to build value for 
all of our stakeholders in fiscal 2013 and beyond.  We thank you for your 
continued support.

During fiscal 2012, the BloomNet® 
wire service remained dedicated to 
reinvigorating the sense of community 
that was once a hallmark of the floral 
industry. An important component 
in this effort is BloomNet’s Floriology® 
magazine. Each monthly issue of the 
magazine is devoted to providing tech-
niques, tips and suggestions designed 
to help florists grow their businesses. 
Many articles are submitted by florists 
themselves, sharing their successful 
product designs and business insights.  
Also providing valuable insights to  
florists is the industry-accredited 
BloomNet Floriology Institute, which 
offers a diverse range of educational 
courses that can help florists expand 
design skills and enhance business 
practices. Classes are taught at  
BloomNet’s Jacksonville, Florida  
Floriology Institute as well as in  
seminars held across the nation  
where florists get together, share  
ideas and inspire each other.

In fiscal 2012, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM® 
expanded its floral franchising reach. 
Adding to the Company’s growing 
number of franchisees are many 
BloomNet® florists who are seeking 
to strengthen their sales opportuni-
ties by leveraging merchandising and 
advertising capabilities. Franchisees 
also benefit from strong national 
brand awareness. Complement-
ing the growth of floral franchising, 
1-800-FLOWERS.COM accelerated 
the expansion of its Fannie May® Fine 
Chocolates business during fiscal 2012 
by completing a 62-store transaction 
with a leading national franchise 
operator. As a multi-channel gift 
destination, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM 
recognizes that franchised stores are a 
key element in building brand visibility 
across several channels, providing a 
great way to connect with the local 
community while increasing traffic

Financial Report

Selected Financial Data
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

The selected consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended July 1, 2012, July 3, 2011 and
June 27, 2010 and the consolidated balance sheet data as of July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011, have been derived
from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
The selected consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008,
and the selected consolidated balance sheet data as of June 27, 2010, June 28, 2009, and June 29, 2008, are
derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements which are not included in this Annual Report.

The following tables summarize the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and balance sheet data.

The Company acquired Flowerama in August 2011, selected assets of Fine Stationery, Inc. in May 2011 and
Mrs. Beasley’s Bakery LLC in March 2011. The following financial data reflects the results of operations of these
subsidiaries since their respective dates of acquisition. On September 6, 2011, the Company, through the Winetasting
Network subsidiary, completed the sale of certain assets of its non-strategic wine fulfillment services business in
order to focus on its core Direct-to-Consumer wine business. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company
made the strategic decision to divest its Home & Children’s Gifts business segment to focus on its core Consumer
Floral, BloomNet Wire Service and Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets categories, and on January 25, 2010, completed
the sale of this business. Consequently, the Company has classified the results of operations of its Home & Children’s
Gifts segment and its wine fulfillment services business, which had previously been included within its Gourmet
Foods & Gift Baskets category, as discontinued operations for all periods presented. This information should be
read together with the discussion in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations” and the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included
elsewhere in this Annual Report.

(1) The Company has revised its previously reported balance sheet data as of June 28, 2009, and for subsequent periods, as
presented herein, and its statement of operations, also presented herein, for the year ended June 28, 2009 in order to correct certain
previously reported amounts. The Company believes the effects of the prior period adjustments are qualitatively and quantitatively not
material to the respective balances adjusted and had no impact on the 2012, 2011 or 2010 statements of operations or cash flows.
The Company has concluded that the amounts, if corrected in fiscal 2012, would have been material to the consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended July 1, 2012. These errors primarily related to the accounting for deferred tax liabilities on
non-amortizable intangibles, including goodwill, arising from certain historical acquisitions prior to fiscal 2007. These errors in the
deferred tax accounts subsequently impacted the goodwill impairment charge recorded by the Company in fiscal 2009. The Company
also identified an issue related to the treatment of deferred tax liabilities on basis differences related to fixed assets which were
recorded in error during fiscal years 2009 and prior. The adjustment to correct the error resulted in a decrease to net loss, and
thus, a decrease in the Company’s retained deficit of approximately $0.8 million on the June 28, 2009 Consolidated Statements of
Stockholders’ Equity, with a corresponding adjustment to increase goodwill by approximately $6.6 million and increase deferred tax
liabilities by approximately $5.8 million. Correcting prior year financial statements for these immaterial errors will not require previously
filed reports to be amended and as such the Company has corrected the error by making adjustments to prior comparative financial
information  presented  herein.

On September 6, 2011, the Company, through the
Winetasting Network subsidiary, completed the sale of
certain assets of its non-strategic wine fulfillment services
business in order to focus on its core Direct-to-Consumer
wine business. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009,
the Company made the strategic decision to divest its
Home & Children’s Gifts business segment to focus on
its core Consumer Floral, BloomNet Wire Service and
Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets categories, and on Janu-

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (continued)
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

ary 25, 2010, completed the sale of this business. Conse-
quently, the Company has classified the results of opera-
tions of its Home & Children’s Gifts segment and its wine
fulfillment services business, which had previously been
included within its Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets category,
as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Shares in 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. are traded on
the NASDAQ Global Select Market, ticker symbol: FLWS.

As a provider of gifts to consumers and wholesalers

for resale to consumers, the Company is subject to
changes in consumer confidence and the economic
conditions that impact our customers. Demand for the
Company’s products is affected by the financial health
of our customers, which is influenced by macro economic
issues such as unemployment, fuel and energy costs,
weakness in the housing market and unavailability of
consumer credit. During the recent economic downturn,
the demand for our products, and accordingly our
financial results, compared to pre-recessionary levels,
has been adversely affected by the reduction in con-
sumer  spending.

During fiscal 2012 the Company continued to recover

from the effects of the recession which began in fiscal
2009,  building  on  last  year’s  improved  financial  perfor-
mance. As a result of cost reductions and productivity
improvements,  marketing  efficiency  and  merchandising
innovation, the Company has been able to make signifi-
cant annual improvements in EBITDA compared to the
low point of the recession during fiscal 2010. A key tenet
of the Company’s strategy during this period was to
stabilize  the  Consumer  Floral  operations  and  minimize
business risk during the current recessionary period. In
order to improve earnings during this recessionary
period, the Company took a more conservative view of
the economy, and its expectations of demand, in order
to minimize the risk of investing marketing and operating
spend for revenue growth too early in the economic
recovery cycle. This strategy was designed to protect
earnings growth that was expected to be achieved
through  operational  improvements  and  business
resizing programs, including a rationalization of market-
ing spending, but driven by more effective campaigns,
that focused on the Company’s ability to “wow” our
customers  with  differentiated,  non-commoditized  higher
value products. While the economic recovery continues
at a slow pace, with the possibility of a “double-dip”
recession looming as a result of continued high
un-employment, energy and commodity prices, the
Company believes that its sales “bottomed-out” in
the first half of fiscal 2011, as it then began to
experience  modest  year-over-year  revenue  growth.

Tempered by the continued economic uncertainty,

during fiscal 2013, the Company expects to grow
revenues across all three of its business segments with
consolidated revenue growth for the year anticipated to
be in the mid-single-digit range. Also, based on continued
improvements in gross profit margin and operating
leverage,  the  Company  anticipates  achieving  double-
digit year-over-year increases in EBITDA and EPS.

4

The Company’s fiscal 2013 guidance is based on the

positive trends—both top and bottom-line—that the
Company has seen over the past two years, balanced by
the continued uncertainty in the global economy. The
Company plans to continue to focus on managing those
aspects of the business where it can drive growth and
enhanced  results,  including:

• merchandising  and  marketing  initiatives
featuring truly original products that have
helped  drive  increased  average  order  value
and gross profit margins,

• efforts in manufacturing, sourcing and shipping
that have helped absorb rising commodity and
fuel costs and enhanced operating cost leverage, and
• investments in innovation for the future, including its
industry leading efforts in Social and Mobile arenas,
BloomNet  and  franchising  programs  in  Consumer
Floral and Fannie May.

The Company believes these efforts, and others
underway, will help continue the positive trends seen in
the business as the Company deepens its relationships
with its customers, helping them deliver smiles, and build
shareholder  value.

Category Information

The following table presents the contribution of net
revenues, gross profit and category contribution margin

previously, the Company’s wine fulfillment services
business, which had previously been included within its
Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets category, as well as the
Home & Children’s Gifts category has been classified as
discontinued  operations  and  therefore  excluded  from
category  information  below.

(*) Corporate expenses consist of the Company’s enterprise shared service
cost centers, and include, among other items, Information Technology,
Human Resources, Accounting and Finance, Legal, Executive and
Customer Service Center functions, as well as Stock-Based Compensation.
In order to leverage the Company’s infrastructure, these functions are
operated under a centralized management platform, providing support
services throughout the organization. The costs of these functions, other
than those of the Customer Service Center, which are allocated directly to
the above categories based upon usage, are included within corporate
expenses as they are not directly allocable to a specific category.

(**)Performance is measured based on category contribution margin or
category Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting only the direct controllable revenue
and operating expenses of the segment. As such, management’s measure
of profitability for these segments does not include the effect of corporate
overhead, described above, depreciation and amortization, other income
(net), nor does it include one-time charges. Management utilizes EBITDA,
and adjusted financial information, as a performance measurement tool
because it considers such information a meaningful supplemental measure
of its performance and believes it is frequently used by the investment
community in the evaluation of companies with comparable market
capitalization. The Company also uses EBITDA and adjusted financial
information as one of the factors used to determine the total amount of
bonuses available to be awarded to executive officers and other
employees. The Company’s credit agreement uses EBITDA and adjusted
financial information to measure compliance with covenants such as
interest coverage and debt incurrence. EBITDA and adjusted financial
information is also used by the Company to evaluate and price potential
acquisition candidates. EBITDA and adjusted financial information have
limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under
GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) EBITDA does not reflect changes
in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;
(b) EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash
requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the
Company’s debts; and (c) although depreciation and amortization are non-
cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be
replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements
for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should
only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when
evaluating the Company’s performance.

(***)Gourmet Food & Gift Baskets category contribution margin during the
fiscal year ended July 1, 2012, includes a $3.8 million gain on the sale of
17 Fannie May retail stores, which are currently being operated as
franchised locations.

Net revenues consist primarily of the selling price

of the merchandise, service or outbound shipping
charges, less discounts, returns and credits.

During the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012, revenues
increased by 6.6% in comparison to the prior year as a
result of growth across all segments. These improve-
ments were due to growth within the Consumer Floral
category, which increased 7.9% as a result of strong year
over year growth during the Company’s key floral
holidays,  including Valentines’  Day,  which  benefited  from
the better date placement which fell on Tuesday in fiscal
2012 compared to Monday in fiscal 2011, and Mother’s
Day, driven by a higher average order value, as well as
contributions  from  several  small  acquisitions,  including
Fine Stationery in May 2011 and Flowerama in August
2011. Further contributing to the revenue growth were:
(i) an increase in shop-to-shop order volume and
wholesale product sales within the BloomNet Wire
Service category, (ii) higher sales from the Gourmet
Food & Gift Baskets category, including contributions
from Mrs. Beasley’s, which was acquired in March 2011,
and Stockyards.com, whose brandname the Company
licensed in late November 2011, offset in part by the
impact of the 53 rd  week in fiscal 2011, and the sale of 17
Fannie May stores which are currently being operated as
franchised locations. Excluding the impact of the acquisi-
tions and new license agreements noted above, net of
the impact of the Fannie May store sales, and adjusting
for the 53 rd  week in fiscal 2011, the Company’s rev-
enues increased by 5.2% during the fiscal year ended
July 1,  2012.

During the fiscal year ended July 3, 2011 revenues

increased by 2.8% over the prior year period, as a
result of growth across all categories, including the
Consumer Floral category, reversing the trend after two
years of revenue declines.

E-commerce  revenues  (combined  online  and
telephonic) increased by 6.1% and 3.3% during the
years ended July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011, respectively.
The  Company  fulfilled  approximately  8.3 million,
8.1 million  and  8.4 million  e-commerce  orders  during
fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, while increas-
ing the average order value to $62.45 in fiscal 2012
compared to $59.58 in fiscal 2011 and $55.71 in fiscal
2010. Revenue growth was attributed to improved
merchandising  programs,  including  the  development  of
innovative and original products such as the expanded
line of a-DOG-ables, designed to “wow” our customers’
gift recipients and our “Never Settle For Less” marketing
campaigns, which also enabled the Company to reduce
its promotional activities.

Other revenues, comprised of the Company’s

BloomNet Wire Service category, as well as the
wholesale and retail channels of its Consumer Floral
and Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets categories,
increased by 8.0% and 1.5% during fiscal 2012 and
fiscal 2011, respectively, in comparison to the prior year
periods primarily as a result of the aforementioned
sales growth in the BloomNet Wire Service business,
as well as the contributions from Flowerama, a floral
franchise operation purchased in August 2011.

Additionally, during the second quarter of fiscal 2012,
the Company completed a 62-store franchise agreement
between Fannie May and GB Chocolates. The agreement
includes development rights for 45 new stores to be
opened over the next three years in several mid-west
states as well as specific cities in Florida and Ohio, as
well as the sale of 17 existing Fannie May retail stores
located in areas outside of its core Chicago market.
While the sale of these stores reduced our revenues in
comparison to prior year periods, it provides a platform
for our franchisor to successfully complete its Fannie May
development  plan,  while  providing  the  Company  with
future revenue streams through franchise and area
development fees and product sales.

The Consumer Floral category includes the opera-
tions of the 1-800-Flowers brand which derives revenue
from the sale of consumer floral products through its e-
commerce  sales  channels  (telephonic  and  online  sales)
and royalties from its franchise operations, as well as the
operations of Fine Stationery, an e-commerce retailer of
personalized  stationery,  invitations  and  announcements.
Net revenues during the fiscal years ended July 1, 2012
and July 3, 2011 increased by 7.9% and 0.7% over the
respective prior year periods, due to a combination of
increased order volumes and a higher average order
value,  driven  by  enhanced  marketing  and  merchandising
programs that encourage our customers to “wow” their gift
recipients and “Never Settle For Less.” Fiscal 2012 also
benefited from the better Tuesday date placement of the
Valentine’s Day holiday, compared to Monday in fiscal
2011, and Sunday in fiscal 2010, as well as the revenue
contributions  of  several  small  acquisitions,  including  Fine
Stationery in May 2011 and Flowerama in August 2011,
offset in part by the impact of the 53 rd  week in fiscal 2011.
For the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012, revenue growth for
the Consumer Floral category, excluding the impact of the
above acquisitions and the 53 rd  week in fiscal 2011, was
approximately  5.6%.

The BloomNet Wire Service category includes
revenues from membership fees as well as other
product and service offerings to florists. Net revenues
during the fiscal years ended July 1, 2012 and July 3,
2011 increased by 12.7% and 18.4% over the respective
prior years, primarily as a result of increased shop-to-
shop order volume and wholesale product sales. While
this order volume positively impacts revenues, at the
present time, the impact on gross margin and contribution
margin is significantly less than BloomNet’s normal
margin. However, BloomNet has begun to monetize this
increased  order  volume  through  increasing  membership,
technology, services and product fees.

The Gourmet Food & Gift Baskets category includes
the operations of 1-800-Baskets, Cheryl’s (which includes
Mrs. Beasley’s), Fannie May Confections, The Popcorn
Factory, Winetasting.com, Stockyards.com and
DesignPac businesses. Revenue is derived from the sale
of gift baskets, cookies, baked gifts, premium chocolates
and confections, gourmet popcorn, wine gifts and prime
steaks and chops through its e-commerce sales channels
(telephonic  and  online  sales)  and  company-owned  and
operated retail stores under the Cheryl’s and Fannie May

brand names, royalties from Fannie May franchise
operations, as well as wholesale operations. Net revenue
during the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012 and July 3,
2011, increased by 3.2% and 1.7%, respectively, in
comparison to the prior years. Growth during the fiscal
year ended July 1, 2012 was primarily due to: (i) e-
commerce growth from 1-800-Baskets.com, Cheryl’s and
The Popcorn Factory brands, (ii) increased wholesale
revenue from the Fannie May brand, and (iii) revenue
contributions from the acquisitions of Mrs. Beasley’s, a
baker and marketer of cakes, muffins and gourmet gift
baskets, acquired in March 2011, and Stockyards.com, a
purveyor of USDA prime and choice meats, poultry and
seafood,  whose  brandname  the  Company  licensed  in
late November 2011. This growth was largely offset by
reduced  DesignPac  wholesale  basket  volume  during  the
December holiday season, and the impact of the conver-
sion of 17 Fannie May retail stores into franchised
operations. During the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012,
revenue growth for the Gourmet Food & Gift Baskets
category, excluding the impact of above acquisitions, the
net effect of the sale of the Fannie May retail stores noted
above, and the impact of the 53 rd week in fiscal 2011,
was approximately 2.5%. Net revenue during the fiscal
year ended July 3, 2011 increased by 1.7% compared to
the prior year period, primarily as a result of e-commerce
sales growth from 1-800-Baskets.com and Cheryl’s
brands, partially offset by reduced wholesale volume
from  DesignPac.

For fiscal 2013, the Company expects to grow

revenues across all three of its business segments with
consolidated revenue growth for the year anticipated to
be in the mid-single-digit range.

Gross profit consists of net revenues less cost of

revenues, which is comprised primarily of florist
fulfillment costs (primarily fees paid directly to florists),
the cost of floral and non-floral merchandise sold from
inventory or through third parties, and associated costs
including  inbound  and  outbound  shipping  charges.
Additionally, cost of revenues include labor and facility
costs related to direct-to-consumer and wholesale
production  operations.

Gross profit increased during the fiscal years ended
July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011, compared to the respec-
tive prior years, due to the above mentioned revenue
growth across all categories. During fiscal 2012, the
Company’s  gross  margin  percentage  decreased  20
basis points, reflecting the impact of product mix and
lower gross margins from the Company’s BloomNet
operations  and  wholesale  baskets  business  within  the
Gourmet Food and Gift Basket category, partially offset

7

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (continued)
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

by improvements within the Consumer Floral segment.
During fiscal 2011, gross margins improved 100 basis
points, resulting from improved merchandising pro-
grams and reduced promotional activities within the
Company’s Consumer Floral segment, which more than
offset fuel and commodity cost increases, and the
margin impact of the third-party marketing program
which  was  discontinued  in  December  2009.

The Consumer Floral category gross profit increased
by 10.5% and 8.5% during the fiscal years ended July 1,
2012 and July 3, 2011, respectively, as compared to the
prior year periods, due to the higher revenue, as de-
scribed above, as well as gross margin improvements,
which increased 90 basis points and 270 basis points
over the respectively prior year periods, due to the
aforementioned  improvements  in  merchandising  and
marketing  programs  and  reductions  in  promotional
activity. Additionally, gross profit during fiscal 2012
was favorably impacted by the incremental gross profit
generated by the acquisitions of Fine Stationery and
Flowerama, whereas, the fiscal 2011 improvement
reflects the impact of the termination of the Martha
Stewart marketing agreement during the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2010.

The BloomNet Wire Service category gross profit
increased by 5.0% and 5.7% during the fiscal years
ended July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011, respectively,
in comparison to the prior years, due to the above
mentioned revenue growth, while the gross margin
percentage decreases reflect product mix, consisting of
increased sales of lower margin wholesale orders and
an increase in the proportion of shop-to-shop order
volume. Although the shop-to-shop orders carry a lower
gross margin percentage, the significant increase in
order volume helps drive revenue and gross margin
dollar growth, while the added orders provide increased
leverage for sales of products and services. BloomNet
expects to continue to monetize this increased order
volume  through  increased  membership,  technology,
services and product fees.

The Gourmet Food & Gift Baskets category gross
profit increased by 0.9% during both the fiscal years
ended July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011, in comparison to
the prior years, due to the above mentioned revenue
increases,  while  the  gross  margin  percentage  decreased
by 100 basis points and 30 basis points, respectively.
The decrease in gross margin percentage during fiscal
2012 was driven primarily by lower gross margins from
the wholesale basket business, as well as the impact of
the sale of the Fannie May stores and increases in
commodity and shipping costs. During fiscal 2011, the
gross margin percentage decrease was a result of a
change in sales mix, as well as increased fuel and
commodity prices.

For fiscal 2013, the Company expects its gross margin
percentage will improve in comparison to fiscal 2012 as a
result of a reduction in promotional activity, as well as
improvements in product sourcing, supply chain and
manufacturing  efficiencies.

Marketing and sales expense consists primarily of

advertising  and  promotional  expenditures,  catalog
costs, online portal and search costs, retail store and
fulfillment operations (other than costs included in cost
of revenues) and customer service center expenses, as
well as the operating expenses of the Company’s
departments  engaged  in  marketing,  selling  and
merchandising  activities.

During the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012, marketing

and sales expense increased by 5.2% compared to
the prior year, as a result of: (i) increased advertising,
primarily related to the 1-800-Flowers.com Consumer
Floral brand during the key floral holidays, which
helped to drive the improving revenue trends,
(ii) increased labor due to several growth initiatives
for franchising, BloomNet and the Mobile and Social
commerce area, and incremental labor associated with
the acquisitions of Mrs. Beasley’s, Fine Stationery and
Flowerama, as well as the operation of the Stockyards
direct-to-consumer business, offset in part by the
franchise conversion of 17 Fannie May retail stores,
and (iii) higher facility costs, due to the aforementioned
acquisitions  and  licensing  arrangement.  However,  as  a
result of the Company’s continued focus on improving
its  merchandising  programs,  refocusing  marketing
messages, and enhancing the efficiency of advertising
efforts, marketing and sales expense, as a percentage
of net revenues, decreased from 25.8% in fiscal 2011
to 25.5% in fiscal 2012.

During the fiscal year ended July 3, 2011, marketing
and sales expense increased by 1.3% compared to the
prior year period, as a result of: (i) an increase in
compensation expense, due to performance based
incentive  compensation,  reflecting  the  improved
operating results, as well as new initiatives for franchis-
ing and store growth, and (ii) variable costs associated
with the increase in revenue, offset by reductions in
advertising spending. As a result of spending efficien-
cies achieved during the year, marketing and sales
expense, as a percentage of net revenues, decreased
from 26.2% in fiscal 2010 to 25.8% in fiscal 2011.

During the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012, the
Company  added  approximately  2.0 million  new  e-
commerce customers, compared to 2.3 million in each
of the fiscal years in 2011 and 2010. Of the 4.6 million
total customers who placed e-commerce orders during
fiscal 2012, approximately 56% were repeat customers,

compared to 52% in fiscal 2011 and 2010, reflecting the
Company’s  effectiveness  on  deepening  the  relationship
with its existing customers as their trusted source for
gifts and services for all of their celebratory occasions.

Technology  and  development  expense  consists

primarily of payroll and operating expenses of the
Company’s  information  technology  group,  costs  associ-
ated with its web sites, including hosting, design, content
development and maintenance and support costs related
to the Company’s order entry, customer service, fulfillment
and database systems.

During the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012, technology

and development expense increased by 1.5% over the
prior year, as a result of the incremental costs associated
with the recent acquisitions of Mrs. Beasley’s, Fine
Stationery  and  Flowerama;  however,  technology  and
development expense as a percentage of net revenue
decreased 10 basis points during fiscal 2012, reflecting
the Company’s ability to leverage its technology platform.

During the fiscal year ended July 3, 2011, technology
and development expense increased by 14.2% over the
prior year, as a result of increased labor costs required
to support and implement new website improvements,
as well as from higher performance based incentive
compensation expense in comparison to the prior year,
partially offset by reductions in the cost of hosting the
Company’s technology platforms, as a result of footprint
reductions  and  sourcing  savings.

During the fiscal years ended July 1, 2012, July 3,

2011, and June 27, 2010 the Company expended
$32.8 million,  $32.4 million,  and  $29.1 million,
respectively,  on  technology  and  development,  of
which  $12.3 million,  $12.2 million,  and  $11.4 million,
respectively,  has  been  capitalized.

General and administrative expense consists of

resources and other administrative functions, as well as
professional fees and other general corporate expenses.

General  and  administrative  expense  increased  by

5.3% during the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012, over
the prior year period, due to: (i) incremental costs
associated with the acquisitions of Mrs. Beasley’s,
Fine  Stationery  and  Flowerama,  (ii) annual  compensa-
tion rate increases, and (iii) an increase in expenses
associated  with  franchise  expansion  plans,  partially
offset by reductions in bad debt expense.

During the fiscal year ended July 3, 2011, general

and administrative expense increased by 1.0% over
the prior year period, but decreased as a percentage
of net revenues from 7.5% in fiscal 2010 to 7.3% in
fiscal 2011, as a result of reduced health insurance
costs due to plan redesign and reductions in legal fees
associated with litigation which was settled in the prior
year, offset by higher incentive compensation expense
due to improved financial performance.

Company continues to leverage its technology platform.

Gain on Sale of Stores

On November 21, 2011, the Company and GB
Chocolates LLC (GB Chocolates) entered into an
agreement whereby the Company sold 17 existing
Fannie May stores, to be operated as franchised locations
by GB Chocolates, for $5.6 million, recognizing a gain on
the sale of $3.8 million. Upon completion of the sale, the
Company  also  recognized  initial  franchise  fees  associ-
ated with these 17 stores in the amount of $0.5 million.
In conjunction with the sale of stores, the Company and
GB Chocolates entered into an area development
agreement whereby GB Chocolates will open a minimum
of 45 new Fannie May franchise stores by December
2014. The  agreement  provides  exclusive  development
rights for several Midwestern states, as well as specific
cities in Florida and Ohio. The terms of the agreement
include  a  non-refundable  area  development  fee  of
$0.9 million, store opening fees of $0.5 million, assuming
successful opening of 45 stores, and a non-performance
promissory note in the amount of $1.2 million, which
becomes due and payable only if GB Chocolates does
not open all 45 stores as set forth in the development
agreement. The Company has deferred the recognition of
the $0.9 million area development fee associated with the

9

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (continued)

45 store area development agreement, and will recog-
nize such fees in income on a pro-rata basis, when the
conditions for revenue recognition under the area
development agreement are met. Both store opening
fees and area development fees are generally recog-
nized upon the opening of a franchise store, or upon
termination of the agreement between the Company and
the  franchisee. The  Company  recognized  approximately
$0.2 million, of the $1.2 million promissory note, based
upon its assessment of the likelihood that the perfor-
mance criteria under the agreement will be achieved.

expense, net

43.3% $ (4,077)      29.1%    $ (5,752)

Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest
expense and amortization of deferred financing costs
attributable to the Company’s long-term debt and
revolving line of credit, net of income earned on the
Company’s  available  cash  balances.

Net borrowing costs decreased during the fiscal years

ended July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011, in comparison to
the respective prior years, due to paydowns of amounts
outstanding under the Company’s term loans, as well as
reduced  borrowing  rates.  Additionally,  the  decrease  in
fiscal 2011 reflects the impact of the Company’s write-off
of $0.3 million in deferred financing cost during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2010, as a result of the amending the
Company’s  credit  facility.

Income Taxes

During the fiscal years ended July 1, 2012, July 3,
2011 and June 27, 2010, the Company recorded income
tax expense of $7.8 million, $3.5 million and $0.2 million,
respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 37.2%,
38.9% and 18.9%, respectively. The Company’s effective
tax rate for the fiscal years ended July 1, 2012 and
June 27, 2010, differed from the U.S. federal statutory
rate of 35% primarily due to the impact of state income
taxes,  non-deductible  stock-based  compensation,  and
goodwill amortization, partially offset by various tax
credits. The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year
ended July 3, 2011 differs from the U.S. federal statutory
rate of 35% primarily due to the impact of state income
taxes  and  non-deductible  stock-based  compensation,
partially offset by tax settlements and various tax credits.

At July 1, 2012, the Company’s federal net operating
loss carryforwards were approximately $3.3 million, which,
if not utilized, will begin to expire in fiscal year 2025.

Discontinued Operations

On September 6, 2011, the Company, through the
Winetasting Network subsidiary, completed the sale of
certain assets of its non-strategic wine fulfillment services
business in order to focus on its core Direct-to-Consumer
wine business. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009,
the Company made the strategic decision to divest its
Home & Children’s Gifts business segment to focus on its
core Consumer Floral, BloomNet Wire Service and
Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets categories, and on Janu-
ary 25, 2010, completed the sale of this business. Conse-
quently, the Company has classified the results of opera-
tions of its Home & Children’s Gifts segment and its wine
fulfillment services business, which had previously been
included within its Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets category,
as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Results for discontinued operations are as follows:

The Company’s wine fulfillment services business
derived its revenue from the warehousing and fulfillment
of wine and wine related products, primarily on behalf of
California wineries. The Home & Children’s Gifts category
included revenue from the sale of home decor and
children’s  gifts.

On September 6, 2011, the Company completed

the sale of certain assets of its non-strategic
WinetastingNetwork  wine  fulfillment  services  business
for $12.0 million, in order to focus on its core Direct-to-
Consumer wine business, recognizing a gain on the
sale of $4.5 million, net of taxes. On January 25, 2010,
the Company completed the sale of the assets and
certain related liabilities of its Home & Children’s Gifts
business. The sales price of the assets was $17.0 million,
subject to adjustments for changes in working capital (net
proceeds amounted to $10.5 million). Based upon the
carrying value of the assets held for sale, the Company
recorded a loss of $5.1 million, net of tax during the fiscal
year ended June 27, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At July 1, 2012, the Company had working capital

of $29.7 million, including cash and equivalents of
$28.9 million, compared to working capital of $17.3 
million,  including  cash  and  equivalents  of  $21.4 million,
at July 3, 2011.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $40.2 
million for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012 was prima-
rily related to net income, adjusted for the gain on the
sale of the Company’s wine fulfillment services business
in September 2011, non-cash charges for depreciation
and amortization, deferred income taxes, and stock-based
compensation, offset in part by increases in working
capital,  including  inventory,  accounts  receivable  and
prepaid  expenses  due  to  expanded  wholesale  activities.

Net cash used in investing activities of $12.9 million

for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012 was primarily
attributable to the Company’s equity investment in Flores
Online, Ltda., a Brazilian based e-commerce consumer
floral retailer, the acquisition of Flowerama in August
2011, and capital expenditures, primarily related to the
Company’s technology infrastructure, offset in part by the
proceeds from the sale of the Company’s wine fulfillment
services business in September 2011.

Net cash used in financing activities of $19.9 million
for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012 was primarily due
to the repayment of bank borrowings on outstanding
term-loan  debt  and  long-term  capital  lease  obligations,
as well as the acquisition of $3.3 million of treasury stock
under the Company’s stock repurchase plan. There were
no  borrowings  outstanding  under  the  Company’s
revolving credit facility as of July 1, 2012.

On April 14, 2009, the Company amended its 2008

Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as
administrative agent, and a group of lenders (the
“Amended 2008 Credit Facility”). The Amended 2008
Credit Facility provided for term loan debt of $92.4 million
and  a  seasonally  adjusted  revolving  credit  line  ranging
from $75.0 to $125.0 million.

On April 16, 2010, the Company entered into a
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
“2010 Credit Facility”). The 2010 Credit Facility included
a  prepayment  of  approximately  $12.1 million,  comprised
primarily of the proceeds from the sale of the Home &
Children’s Gifts segment in January 2010, and thereby
reducing the Company’s outstanding term loan under the
facility to $60 million upon closing. The term loan, which
matures on March 30, 2014, is payable in sixteen
quarterly  installments  of  principal  and  interest  beginning
in June 2010, with escalating principal payments at the
rate of 20% in year one, 25% in years two and three and
30% in year four.

In addition, the 2010 Credit Facility extended the
Company’s  revolving  credit  line  through  April 16,  2014,
and  reduced  available  borrowings  from  a  seasonally
adjusted limit which ranged from $75.0 million to
$125.0 million  to  a  seasonally  adjusted  limit  ranging
from $40.0 to $75.0 million.

11

Outstanding amounts under the 2010 Credit Facility

will bear interest at the Company’s option of either:
(i) LIBOR plus a defined margin, or (ii) the agent bank’s
prime rate plus a margin. The applicable margins for the
Company’s term loans and revolving credit facility will
range from 3.00% to 3.75% for LIBOR loans and 2.00%
to 2.75% for ABR loans with pricing based upon the
Company’s  leverage  ratio.

As a result of the modifications of its credit facilities,

during the year ended June 27, 2010, the Company
wrote-off deferred financing costs in the amount of
$0.3 million.

The Company does not enter into derivative

transactions for trading purposes, but rather to hedge
its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company
manages its floating rate debt using interest rate swaps
in order to reduce its exposure to the impact of changing
interest rates on its consolidated results of operations
and future cash outflows for interest.

In July 2009, the Company entered into a $45.0 
million  notional  amount  swap  agreement  that  exchanges
a variable interest rate (LIBOR) for a 1.92% fixed rate
of interest over the term of the agreement. This swap
matured on July 25, 2012.

During March 2009, the Company obtained a
$5.0 million equipment lease line of credit with a bank
and a $5.0 million equipment lease line of credit with a
vendor. Interest under these lines, which both came due
in April 2012, ranged from 2.99% to 7.48%. Both of the
lines of credit are currently closed.

Despite  the  current  challenging  economic  environ-

ment, the Company believes that cash flows from
operations  along  with  available  borrowings  from  its
2010 Credit Facility will be a sufficient source of liquidity.
The Company typically borrows against the facility to
fund  working  capital  requirements  related  to  pre-holiday
manufacturing  and  inventory  purchases  which  peak
during its fiscal second quarter before being repaid
prior to the end of that quarter.

On January 21, 2008, the Company’s Board of

Directors authorized an increase to its stock repurchase
plan, which when added to the $8.7 million remaining on
its  earlier  authorization,  increased  the  amount  available
to repurchase to $15.0 million. Any such purchases could
be made from time to time in the open market and
through privately negotiated transactions, subject to
general market conditions. The repurchase program will
be financed utilizing available cash. As of July 1, 2012,
$8.5 million  remains  authorized  but  unused.

Under this program, as of July 1, 2012, the Company
had repurchased 3,703,626, shares of common stock for
$17.8 million, of which $3.3 million (1,133,913 shares),
$0.5 million  (168,207  shares),  and  $0.9 million  (342,821
shares) were repurchased during the fiscal years ending
July 1, 2012, July 3, 2011 and June, 27, 2010, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its

financial position and results of operations are
based upon the consolidated financial statements of
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., which have been prepared
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. The preparation of these financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assump-
tions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities,
revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis,
management evaluates its estimates, including those
related  to  revenue  recognition,  inventory  and  long-lived
assets,  including  goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets
related to acquisitions. Management bases its estimates
and judgments on historical experience and on various
other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets
and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management  believes  the  following  critical  accounting
policies, among others, affect its more significant judg-
ments and estimates used in preparation of its consoli-
dated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Net revenues are generated by E-commerce opera-

tions from the Company’s online and telephonic sales
channels  as  well  as  other  operations  (retail/wholesale)
and primarily consist of the selling price of merchandise,
service or outbound shipping charges, less discounts,
returns and credits. Net revenues are recognized upon
product shipment and do not include sales tax. Shipping
terms are FOB shipping point. Net revenues generated
by the Company’s BloomNet Wire Service operations
include membership fees as well as other products and
service offerings to florists. Membership fees are recog-
nized monthly in the period earned, and products sales
are  recognized  upon  product  shipment  with  shipping
terms of FOB shipping point.

Initial franchise fees are recognized in income when
the Company has substantially performed or satisfied all
material services or conditions relating to the sale of the
franchise and the fees are nonrefundable. Area develop-
ment fees are nonrefundable and are recognized in
income on a pro-rata basis when the conditions for
revenue  recognition  under  the  individual  area  develop-
ment agreements are met. Both initial franchise fees and
area  development  fees  are  generally  recognized  upon
the opening of a franchise store or upon termination of
the agreement between the Company and the franchisee.

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful
accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability
of its customers or franchisees to make required pay-
ments. If the financial condition of the Company’s custom-
ers or franchisees were to deteriorate, resulting in an
impairment of their ability to make payments, additional
allowances  may  be  required.

Inventory

The Company states inventory at the lower of cost
or market. In assessing the realization of inventories,
we are required to make judgments as to future demand
requirements and compare that with inventory levels.
It is possible that changes in consumer demand could
cause a reduction in the net realizable value of inventory.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price

over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is
evaluated annually for impairment. The cost of intangible
assets with determinable lives is amortized to reflect the
pattern of economic benefits consumed, on a straight-line
basis, over the estimated periods benefited, ranging from
3 to 16 years.

The Company performs an annual impairment test
during its fiscal fourth quarter, or earlier if indicators of
potential impairment exist, to evaluate goodwill. Goodwill
is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the
reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. In assess-

12

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (continued)
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

ing the recoverability of goodwill, the Company reviews
both quantitative as well as qualitative factors to support its
assumptions with regard to fair value. Judgment regarding
the existence of impairment indicators is based on market
conditions and operational performance of the Company.

Based on its impairment test, the Company’s

reporting units had significant safety margins, representing
the excess of the estimated fair value of each reporting
unit less its respective carrying value (including goodwill
allocated to each respective reporting unit). Future events
could cause the Company to conclude that impairment
indicators exist and that goodwill and other intangible
assets associated with our acquired businesses
is  impaired.

Capitalized Software

The carrying value of capitalized software, both
purchased  and  internally  developed,  is  periodically
reviewed for potential impairment indicators. Future
events could cause the Company to conclude that
impairment indicators exist and that capitalized software
is  impaired.

Stock-based Compensation

The measurement of stock-based compensation
expense is based on the fair value of the award on the
date of grant. The Company determines the fair value of
stock options issued by using the Black-Scholes option-
pricing  model. The  Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model
considers a range of assumptions related to volatility,
dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and employee
exercise  behavior.  Expected  volatilities  are  based  on
historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The
dividend  yield  is  based  on  historical  experience  and
future expectations. The risk-free interest rate is derived
from the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant. The Black-Scholes model also incorporates
expected forfeiture rates, based on historical behavior.
Determining  these  assumptions  are  subjective  and
complex, and therefore, a change in the assumptions
utilized could impact the calculation of the fair value of
the Company’s stock options.

Income Taxes

The Company has established deferred tax assets

and liabilities for temporary differences between the
financial reporting bases and the income tax bases of its
assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be
in effect when such assets or liabilities are realized or
settled. The Company has recognized as a deferred tax
asset the tax benefits associated with losses related to
operations, which are expected to result in a future tax
benefit. Realization of this deferred tax asset assumes
that we will be able to generate sufficient future taxable
income so that these assets will be realized. The factors
that we consider in assessing the likelihood of realization
include the forecast of future taxable income and avail-
able tax planning strategies that could be implemented
to realize the deferred tax assets.

It is the Company’s policy to provide for uncertain
tax positions and the related interest and penalties based
upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit
is  more-likely-than-not  to  be  sustained  upon  examination
by taxing authorities. To the extent that the Company
prevails in matters for which a liability for an unrecog-
nized tax benefit is established or is required to pay
amounts in excess of the liability, the Company’s
effective tax rate in a given financial statement period
may be affected.

Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company

adopted  new  accounting  guidance  included  in  Account-
ing Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-29, Disclosure
of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business
Combinations . The amendments in this standard specify
that if a public entity presents comparative financial
statements, the entity should disclose revenue and
earnings of the combined entity as though business
combination(s) that occurred during the current year had
occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior
annual reporting period only. This standard also expands
the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Account-
ing Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 to include
a description of the nature and amount of material,
nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable
to the business combination included in the reported pro
forma revenue and earnings. The adoption of this
standard did not have a material impact on the
Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company
adopted  new  accounting  guidance  included  in  ASU
No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):
Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measure-
ment and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and
IFRSs . The amendments in this standard generally
represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include
instances  where  a  particular  principle  or  requirement
for measuring fair value or disclosing information about
fair value measurements has changed. This update
results in common principles and requirements for
measuring fair value and for disclosing information about
fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP
and International Financial Reporting Standards. The
adoption of this standard did not have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intan-
gibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefi-
nite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU 2012-
02”), which permits an entity to make a qualitative
assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the

13

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (continued)
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

fair  value  of  a  reporting  unit’s  indefinite-lived  intangible
asset is less than the asset’s carrying value before
applying the two-step goodwill impairment model that is
currently in place. If it is determined through the qualita-
tive assessment that the fair value of a reporting unit’s
indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not
greater than the asset’s carrying value, the remaining
impairment steps would be unnecessary. The qualitative
assessment is optional, allowing companies to go directly
to the quantitative assessment. ASU 2012-02 is effective
for the Company for annual and interim indefinite-lived
intangible  asset  impairment  tests  performed  beginning
July 1, 2013, however, early adoption is permitted. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2012-02
will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards  Update  No. 2011-08 “Testing  Goodwill  for
Impairment” (ASU No. 2011-08) which is intended to
reduce the complexity and costs to test goodwill for
impairment. The amendment allows an entity the option
to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of
goodwill impairment to determine whether it is necessary
to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment
test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the
fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines,
based on its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely
than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less
than its carrying amount. The ASU also expands upon
the examples of events and circumstances that an entity
should consider between annual impairment tests in
determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair
value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
The amendment becomes effective for annual and interim
goodwill impairment tests performed for the Company’s
fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption
of ASU 2011-04 to have a material impact on its consoli-
dated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards

Update  No. 2011-05,  “Presentation  of  Comprehensive
Income” (ASU No. 2011-05), which improves the compa-
rability, consistency, and transparency of financial
reporting and increases the prominence of items reported
in other comprehensive income (OCI) by eliminating the
option to present components of OCI as part of the
statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amend-
ments in this standard require that all nonowner changes
in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single
continuous statement of comprehensive income or in
two separate but consecutive statements. Subsequently
in December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Stan-
dards Update No. 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date
for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications
of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Income” (“ASU No. 2011-12”), which indefinitely defers
the requirement in ASU No. 2011-05 to present on the
face of the financial statements reclassification adjust-
ments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net
income in the statement(s) where the components of net
income and the components of OCI are presented. The
amendments in these standards do not change the items
that must be reported in OCI, when an item of OCI must
be reclassified to net income, or change the option for an
entity to present components of OCI gross or net of the
effect of income taxes. The amendments in ASU
No. 2011-05 and ASU No. 2011-12 are effective for
interim and annual periods beginning with the first
quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ending on June 30,
2013 and are to be applied retrospectively. The adoption
of the provisions of ASU No. 2011-05 and ASU No. 2011-
12 will not have a material impact on the company’s
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements

The Company’s earnings and cash flows are subject
to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates primarily
from its investment of available cash balances in money
market funds and investment grade corporate and U.S.
government securities, as well as from outstanding debt.
As of July 1, 2012, the Company’s outstanding debt,
including  current  maturities,  approximated  $29.3 million.

The Company does not enter into derivative transac-

tions for trading purposes, but rather to hedge its expo-
sure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company manages
its floating rate debt using interest rate swaps in order to
reduce its exposure to the impact of changing interest
rates on its consolidated results of operations and future
cash outflows for interest.

In July 2009, the Company entered into a $45.0 
million  notional  amount  swap  agreement  that  exchanges
a variable interest rate (LIBOR) for a 1.92% fixed rate
of interest over the term of the agreement. This swap
matured on July 25, 2012. The Company has designated
this swap as a cash flow hedge of the interest rate risk
attributable to forecasted variable interest (LIBOR)
payments. The effective portion of the after tax fair value
gains or losses on this swap is included as a component
of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Exclusive of the impact of the Company’s interest rate
swap agreement, each 50 basis point change in interest
rates would have had a corresponding effect on our
interest expense of approximately $0.2 million on an
annual  basis.

The Company’s quarterly results may experience seasonal fluctuations. Due to the Company’s expansion into
non-floral products, the Thanksgiving through Christmas holiday season, which falls within the Company’s second
fiscal quarter, generates the highest proportion of the Company’s annual revenues. Additionally, as the result of a
number of major floral gifting occasions, including Mother’s Day and Administrative Professionals Week, revenues
also rise during the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter. The Easter Holiday was in the Company’s fourth quarter during
fiscal 2011 and 2012, but will fall in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include
the accounts of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and its
wholly-owned  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the  “Company”).
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have  been  eliminated  in  consolidation.

On September 6, 2011, the Company, through the
Winetasting Network subsidiary, completed the sale of
certain assets of its wine fulfillment services business.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company
made the strategic decision to divest its Home &
Children’s Gifts business segment to focus on its core
Consumer Floral, BloomNet Wire Service and Gourmet
Foods & Gift Baskets categories. On January 25, 2010,
the Company completed the sale of this business.
Consequently, the Company has classified the results
of operations of its Home & Children’s Gifts segment as
discontinued operations for fiscal 2010, and its wine
fulfillment  services  business  as  discontinued  operations
for all periods presented. Refer to Note 16. Discontinued
Operations, for further discussion.

Revision to Previously Reported Financial Information
The Company revised its previously reported consoli-

dated balance sheet at July 3, 2011, and the opening
shareholders’ equity balance as of June 28, 2009,
presented herein, in order to correct certain previously
reported amounts. The Company believes this prior
period  adjustment  is  qualitatively  and  quantitatively
immaterial to the respective balances adjusted and
had no impact on the 2012, 2011 or 2010 statements of
operations or cash flows. The Company concluded that
the amounts, if corrected in fiscal 2012, would have been
material to the consolidated financial statements as of
and for the year ended July 1, 2012.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, prior to an-
nouncing the Company’s financial results for its fiscal
2012 fourth quarter and year ended July 1, 2012, certain
errors primarily related to the accounting for deferred tax
liabilities  on  non-amortizable  intangibles,  including
goodwill, arising from historical acquisitions prior to fiscal
2007 were identified. These errors in the deferred tax
accounts  subsequently  impacted  the  goodwill  impairment
charge recorded by the Company in fiscal 2009. The
Company also identified an issue related to the treatment
of deferred tax liabilities on basis differences related to
fixed assets which were recorded in error during fiscal
years 2009 and prior.

The review resulted in a decrease to net loss, and
thus, a decrease in the Company’s retained deficit of
approximately  $0.8 million  on  the  June 28,  2009
Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity,
with  a  corresponding  adjustment  to  increase  goodwill
by  approximately  $6.6 million  and  increase  deferred
tax  liabilities  by  approximately  $5.8 million.

The following table sets forth the correction to each
of the individual affected line items in the consolidated
balance sheets of July 3, 2011, and the stockholders’
equity section of the consolidated balance sheet as of
June 28, 2009. “As Presented Herein” amounts presented
below reflect the impact of these revisions, as well as the
reclassification of the Company’s wine fulfillment services
business as a discontinued operation (see Note 16.
Discontinued  Operations).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period

ending on the Sunday nearest to June 30. Fiscal years
2012 and 2010 consisted of 52 weeks which ended on
July 1, 2012 and June 27, 2010, respectively, whereas
fiscal year 2011 consisted of 53 weeks, which ended on
July 3, 2011.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity

with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assump-
tions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Equivalents

Cash and equivalents consist of demand deposits
with banks, highly liquid money market funds, United
States  government  securities,  overnight  repurchase
agreements and commercial paper with maturities of
three months or less when purchased.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market

using the first-in, first-out method of accounting.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost
reduced  by  accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation
expense is recognized over the assets’ estimated useful
lives using the straight-line method. Amortization of
leasehold  improvements  and  capital  leases  are  calcu-
lated using the straight-line method over the initial lease
terms, or estimated useful lives of the improvements.
Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed, and
where  appropriate,  changes  are  made  prospectively.
Long-lived  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever
changes in circumstances or events may indicate that
the carrying amounts are not recoverable. The company
capitalizes certain internal and external costs incurred
to acquire or create internal-use software. Capitalized
software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful life of the software. The Company’s
property plant and equipment is depreciated using the
following  estimated  lives:

Buildings
Leasehold  Improvements
Furniture,  Fixtures  and  Equipment
Software

40  years
3 - 10 years
3 - 10 years
3 - 5 years

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an
acquisition over the fair value of the assets acquired. The
company  tests  goodwill  for  impairment  annually  during
the fourth quarter, and when an event occurs or circum-
stances change such that it is more likely than not that an
impairment may exist, such as (i) a significant adverse
change in legal factors or in business climate, (ii) an

adverse action or assessment by a regulator,
(iii) unanticipated competition, (iv) a loss of key person-
nel, (v) a more-likelythan-not sale or disposal of all or a
significant portion of a reporting unit, (vi) the testing for
recoverability of a significant asset group within a
reporting unit, or (vii) the recognition of a goodwill
impairment loss of a subsidiary that is a component of
the reporting unit.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a two-step

process. The first step of the impairment test requires the
identification of the reporting units and comparison of the
fair value of each of these reporting units to the respective
carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is
less than its fair value, no impairment exists and the
second step is not performed. If the carrying value of the
reporting unit is higher than its fair value, the second step
must be performed to compute the amount of the goodwill
impairment, if any. In the second step, the impairment is
computed by comparing the implied fair value of the
reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that
goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit
goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill,
an impairment loss is recognized for the excess.

The company generally estimates the fair value of a
reporting unit using a discounted cash flow methodology
included forecasted revenues, gross profit margins,
operating income margins, working capital cash flow,
perpetual growth rates, and long-term discount rates,
among others, all of which require significant judgments
by management. The company also reconciles its
discounted cash flow analysis to its current market
capitalization  allowing  for  areasonable  control  premium.

Other Intangibles, net

Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is
computed on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, while indefinite-lived intangible
assets are not amortized. Identifiable intangible assets
are reviewed for impairment whenever changes in
circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying
amounts are not recoverable. The company also tests
indefinite-lived  intangible  assets,  consisting  of  acquired
trade names, for impairment at least annually during the
fourth quarter. If the fair value is less than the carrying
amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the differ-
ence.  Goodwill  and  indefinite-lived  intangibles  are  not
amortized, but are evaluated annually for impairment.
The Company performs its annual impairment test
in its fiscal fourth quarter, or earlier if indicators of
potential impairment exist, to evaluate goodwill.
Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount
of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value.
In assessing the recoverability of goodwill, the Company
reviews both quantitative as well as qualitative factors to
support its assumptions with regard to fair value.

The cost of intangible assets with determinable lives is

amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits
consumed, on a straight-line basis, over the estimated
periods benefited, ranging from 3 to 16 years.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Deferred Catalog Costs

The Company capitalizes the costs of producing and

distributing its catalogs. These costs are amortized in
direct proportion to actual sales from the corresponding
catalog over a period not to exceed 26-weeks. Included
within prepaid and other current assets was $0.3 and
$0.4 million at July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011, relating to
prepaid  catalog  expenses.

Investments

Investments are accounted for using the equity
method if the investment provides the Company the
ability to exercise significant influence, but not control,
over the investee. Significant influence is generally
deemed to exist if the Company has an owenership
interest in the voting stock of the investee between 20%
and 50%, although other factors, such as representation
on the investee’s Board of Directors, are considered in
determining whether the equity method is appropriate.
The Company records these investments initially at cost,
and adjusts the carrying amount to reflect the Company’s
share of the earnings or losses of the investee, including
all adjustments similar to those made in preparing
consolidated financial statements. The book value of
investments that the Company accounted for under
the equity method of accounting was $3.6 million as of
July 1, 2012 and $0.0 million as of July 3, 2011. This
amount is comprised of the Company’s 32% interest in
Flores Online, a Sao Paulo, Brazil based internet floral
and gift retailer, that the Company made an investment
in on May 31, 2012, and is included in Other assets
within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Operating results
of Flores Online for the period subsequent to investment
through July 1, 2012 were immaterial.

All other equity investments, which consist of invest-

ments for which the Company does not possess the
ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted
for under the cost method as they are privately held.
Cost method investments are originally recorded at cost,
and are included within Other Assets in the Company’s
Consolidated  Balance  Sheets. The  aggregate  carrying
amount of the Company’s cost method investments was
$1.7 million as of July 1, 2012 and $0.2 million as of
July 3, 2011. In addition, the Company had notes
receivable from a company it maintains an investment
in of $0.9 million as of July 1, 2012 and $1.1 million as
of July 3, 2011.

The Company holds certain trading securities

associated  with  its  Non-Qualified  Deferred  Compensation
Plan (“NQDC Plan”) whose fair values can be readily
determined.

Each reporting period, the Company uses available

qualitative and quantitative information to evaluate its
investments for impairment.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The recorded amounts of the Company’s cash and
equivalents,  receivables,  accounts  payable,  and  accrued
liabilities  approximate  their  fair  values  principally
because of the short-term nature of these items. The fair
value of the Company’s long-term obligations, the

24

majority of which are carried at a variable rate of interest,
are estimated based on the current rates offered to the
Company for obligations of similar terms and maturities.
Under this method, the Company’s fair value of long-term
obligations was not significantly different than the
carrying values at July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to significant concentrations of credit risk
consist principally of cash and equivalents, investments
and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash
and equivalents and investments (money markets) with
high quality financial institutions. Concentration of credit
risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to
the Company’s large number of customers and their
dispersion throughout the United States, and the fact
that a substantial portion of receivables are related to
balances owed by major credit card companies. Allow-
ances relating to consumer, corporate and franchise
accounts  receivable  ($2.4 million  and  $2.5 million  at
July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011, respectively) have been
recorded  based  upon  previous  experience  and
management’s  evaluation.

Revenue Recognition

Net revenues are generated by E-commerce opera-

tions from the Company’s online and telephonic sales
channels  as  well  as  other  operations  (retail/wholesale)
and primarily consist of the selling price of merchandise,
service or outbound shipping charges, net of discounts,
returns and credits. Net revenues are recognized upon
product shipment and do not include sales tax. Shipping
terms are primarily FOB shipping point. Net revenues
generated by the Company’s BloomNet Wire Service
operations include membership fees as well as other
products and service offerings to florists. Membership
fees are recognized monthly in the period earned, and
products sales are recognized upon product shipment
with shipping terms primarily FOB shipping point.

Initial franchise fees are recognized in income when
the Company has substantially performed or satisfied all
material services or conditions relating to the sale of the
franchise and the fees are nonrefundable. Area develop-
ment fees are nonrefundable and are recognized in
income on a pro-rata basis when the conditions for
revenue  recognition  under  the  individual  area  develop-
ment agreements are met. Both initial franchise fees and
area  development  fees  are  generally  recognized  upon
the opening of a franchise store or upon termination of
the agreement between the Company and the franchisee.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of florist fulfillment

costs (fees paid directly to florists), the cost of floral and
non-floral merchandise sold from inventory or through
third parties, and associated costs including inbound and
outbound  shipping  charges.  Additionally,  cost  of  revenues
includes labor and facility costs related to manufacturing
and  production  operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Marketing and Sales

Marketing and sales expense consists primarily of
advertising  and  promotional  expenditures,  catalog  costs,
online portal and search expenses, retail store and
fulfillment operations (other than costs included in cost
of revenues), and customer service center expenses,
as well as the operating expenses of the Company’s
departments  engaged  in  marketing,  selling  and
merchandising  activities.

The Company expenses all advertising costs, with
the exception of catalog costs (see Deferred Catalog
Costs above) at the time the advertisement is first shown.
Advertising  expense  was  $75.4  million,  $67.9 million  and
$70.4 million for the years ended July 1, 2012, July 3,
2011  and  June 27,  2010,  respectively.

Technology and Development

Technology  and  development  expense  consists

primarily of payroll and operating expenses of the
Company’s  information  technology  group,  costs  associ-
ated with its web sites, including hosting, content devel-
opment and maintenance and support costs related to the
Company’s order entry, customer service, fulfillment and
database systems. Costs associated with the acquisition
or development of software for internal use are capital-
ized if the software is expected to have a useful life
beyond one year and amortized over the software’s
useful life, typically three to five years. Costs associated
with repair maintenance or the development of web site
content are expensed as incurred as the useful lives of
such software modifications are less than one year.

Stock-Based Compensation

The  Company  records  compensation  expense
associated with stock options and other forms of equity
compensation based upon the fair value of stock-based
awards as measured at the grant date. The expense is
recorded by amortizing the fair values on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period, adjusted for estimated
forfeitures.

Derivatives and hedging

The Company does not enter into derivative transac-

tions for trading purposes, but rather to manage its
exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company
manages its floating rate debt using interest rate swaps
in order to reduce its exposure to the impact of changing
interest rates on its consolidated results of operations
and future cash outflows for interest.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to
account for income taxes. The Company has established
deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differ-
ences between the financial reporting bases and the
income tax bases of its assets and liabilities at enacted
tax rates expected to be in effect when such assets or
liabilities are realized or settled. The Company has
recognized as a deferred tax asset the tax benefits
associated with losses related to operations, which are
expected to result in a future tax benefit. Realization of
these deferred tax assets assumes that we will be able to
generate sufficient future taxable income so that these
assets will be realized. The factors that we consider

25

in assessing the likelihood of realization include the
forecast of future taxable income and available tax
planning strategies that could be implemented to
realize the deferred tax assets.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an
uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that
the tax position will be sustained on examination by the
taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial
statements on a particular tax position are measured
based on the largest benefit that has a greater than a
50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The
amount of unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) is adjusted
as appropriate for changes in facts and circumstances,
such as significant amendments to existing tax law, new
regulations or interpretations by the taxing authorities,
new information obtained during a tax examination, or
resolution of an examination. We recognize both accrued
interest and penalties, where appropriate, related to
UTBs in income tax expense. Assumptions, judgment
and the use of estimates are required in determining if
the “more likely than not” standard has been met when
developing the provision for income taxes.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is com-
puted using the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income
(loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average
number of common and dilutive common equivalent
shares (consisting primarily of employee stock options
and unvested restricted stock awards) outstanding during
the period. Diluted net loss per share excludes the effect
of potential common shares (consisting primarily of
employee stock options and unvested restricted stock
awards) that would be antidilutive.

Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company

adopted  new  accounting  guidance  included  in  Account-
ing Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-29, Disclosure
of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business
Combinations . The amendments in this standard
specify that if a public entity presents comparative
financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue
and earnings of the combined entity as though busi-
ness combination(s) that occurred during the current
year had occurred as of the beginning of the compa-
rable prior annual reporting period only. This standard
also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures
under  Accounting  Standards  Codification  (“ASC”) Topic
805 to include a description of the nature and amount of
material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly
attributable to the business combination included in the
reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The adoption
of this standard did not have a material impact on the
Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company
adopted  new  accounting  guidance  included  in  ASU
No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):
Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measure-
ment and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

IFRSs. The amendments in this standard generally
represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include
instances  where  a  particular  principle  or  requirement
for measuring fair value or disclosing information about
fair value measurements has changed. This update
results in common principles and requirements for
measuring fair value and for disclosing information
about fair value measurements in accordance with
U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting
Standards. The adoption of this standard did not have
a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial  statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02,
“Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU
2012-02”), which permits an entity to make a qualitative
assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the
fair  value  of  a  reporting  unit’s  indefinite-lived  intangible
asset is less than the asset’s carrying value before
applying the two-step goodwill impairment model that
is currently in place. If it is determined through the
qualitative assessment that the fair value of a reporting
unit’s  indefinite-lived  intangible  asset  is  more  likely  than
not greater than the asset’s carrying value, the remain-
ing impairment steps would be unnecessary. The
qualitative  assessment  is  optional,  allowing  companies
to go directly to the quantitative assessment. ASU 2012-
02 is effective for the Company for annual and interim
indefinite-lived  intangible  asset  impairment  tests
performed  beginning  July 1,  2013,  however,  early
adoption is permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact ASU 2012-02 will have on its
consolidated  financial  statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards  Update  No. 2011-08 “Testing  Goodwill  for
Impairment” (ASU No. 2011-08) which is intended to
reduce the complexity and costs to test goodwill for
impairment. The amendment allows an entity the option
to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of
goodwill impairment to determine whether it is neces-
sary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill
impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to
calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the
entity determines, based on its qualitative assessment,
that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the
reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
The ASU also expands upon the examples of events
and circumstances that an entity should consider

between  annual  impairment  tests  in  determining
whether it is more likely than not that the fair value
of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
The amendment becomes effective for annual and
interim goodwill impairment tests performed for the
Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. Early
adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect
the adoption of ASU 2011-04 to have a material impact
on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Stan-
dards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Compre-
hensive Income” (ASU No. 2011-05), which improves
the comparability, consistency, and transparency of
financial reporting and increases the prominence of
items reported in other comprehensive income (OCI) by
eliminating the option to present components of OCI as
part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.
The amendments in this standard require that all
nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be
presented either in a single continuous statement
of comprehensive income or in two separate but
consecutive statements. Subsequently in December
2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
No. 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amend-
ments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items
Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”
(“ASU No. 2011-12”), which indefinitely defers the
requirement in ASU No. 2011-05 to present on the face
of the financial statements reclassification adjustments
for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in
the statement(s) where the components of net income
and the components of OCI are presented. The amend-
ments in these standards do not change the items that
must be reported in OCI, when an item of OCI must be
reclassified to net income, or change the option for an
entity to present components of OCI gross or net of
the effect of income taxes. The amendments in ASU
No. 2011-05 and ASU No. 2011-12 are effective
for interim and annual periods beginning with the
first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ending on
June 30, 2013 and are to be applied retrospectively.
The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2011-05
and ASU No. 2011-12 will not have a material impact
on the company’s consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

Reclassifications

Certain balances in the prior fiscal years have been
reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current
fiscal year.

Note 4. Acquisitions and Dispositions

The Company accounts for business combinations in

accordance with ASC Topic 805 which requires, among
other things, the acquiring entity in a business combina-
tion to recognize the fair value of all the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed; the recognition of acquisition-
related costs in the consolidated results of operations;

the recognition of restructuring costs in the consolidated
results of operations for which the acquirer becomes
obligated after the acquisition date; and contingent
purchase consideration to be recognized at their fair
values on the acquisition date with subsequent adjust-
ments recognized in the consolidated results of opera-
tions. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible
assets acquired were determined primarily by using an
income approach which was based on assumptions and
estimates made by management. Significant assumptions
utilized in the income approach were based on company
specific information and projections which are not
observable in the market and are therefore considered
Level 3 measurements. The excess of the purchase price
over the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities
has been recorded as goodwill. Operating results of the
acquired entity is reflected in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements from date of acquisition.

Sale and franchise of Fannie May retail stores
On November 21, 2011, the Company and GB
Chocolates LLC (GB Chocolates) entered into an
agreement whereby, the Company sold 17 existing
Fannie May stores, to be operated as franchised locations
by GB Chocolates, for $5.6 million, recognizing a gain on
the sale of $3.8 million. Upon completion of the sale, the
Company  also  recognized  initial  franchise  fees  associ-
ated with these 17 stores in the amount of $0.5 million. In
conjunction with the sale of stores, the Company and GB
Chocolates  entered  into  an  area  development  agreement
whereby GB Chocolates will open a minimum of 45 new
Fannie May franchise stores by December 2014. The
agreement  provides  exclusive  development  rights  for
several Midwestern states, as well as specific cities in
Florida and Ohio. The terms of the agreement include a
non-refundable  area  development  fee  of  $0.9 million,
store opening fees of $0.5 million, assuming successful
opening of 45 stores, and a non-performance promissory
note in the amount of $1.2 million, which becomes due
and payable only if GB Chocolates does not open all 45
stores as set forth in the development agreement.
The Company has deferred the $0.9 million area devel-
opment fee associated with the 45 store area develop-
ment agreement, and will recognize such fees in income
on a pro-rata basis, when the conditions for revenue
recognition  under  the  area  development  agreement  is
met. Both store opening fees and area development fees
are generally recognized upon the opening of a franchise
store, or upon termination of the agreement between the
Company and the franchisee. The Company recognized
approximately  $0.2 million,  of  the  $1.2 million  promissory
note, based upon its assessment of the likelihood that

27

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

the performance criteria under the agreement will be
achieved. The fair value is impacted by estimates around
the possibility of GB Chocolates opening 45 stores,
discounted for present value, and the risk associated
with counterparty payment. Changes in these assump-
tions could result in an increase or decrease in fair value
which would impact the income statement. There were
no significant changes in these estimates during 2012.

Acquisition of Flowerama

On August 1, 2011, the Company completed the
acquisition of Flowerama of America, Inc. (Flowerama),
a franchisor and operator of retail flower shops under
the Flowerama trademark, with annual revenue of
approximately  $6.1 million  and  annual  operating
income of $0.1 million in its most recent year end prior
to acquisition. The purchase price, which included the
acquisition of receivables, inventory, eight retail store
locations and certain other assets and related liabilities,
was approximately $4.3 million. Of the acquired
intangible assets, $2.1 million was assigned to amortiz-
able investment in licenses, which is being amortized
over the estimated useful life of 20 years, based upon
the estimated remaining life of the franchise agree-
ments. Approximately $2.4 million of purchase price
was assigned to goodwill which is not deductible for
tax purposes. The acquisition was financed utilizing
available cash balances. Since the date of acquisition,
Flowerama’s  net  revenues  and  income  before  income
taxes of $5.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, were
included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012.

Acquisition of FineStationery

On May 10, 2011, the Company acquired selected

assets of FineStationery Solutions, Inc. (Fine Statio-
nery), a retailer of personalized stationery, invitations
and  announcements,  with  annual  revenue  of  approxi-
mately $10.1 million in its most recent year end prior to
acquisition. The purchase price, which included the

acquisition  of  inventory,  production  equipment  and
certain other assets, was approximately $3.3 million,
including  cash  consideration  of  $2.8 million,  plus
additional  consideration  of  $0.5 million  based  upon
achieving  specified  operating  results  during  fiscal  2012
through 2014, which is included in other liabilities in the
Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Of the $1.2 
million  of  acquired  intangible  assets,  $1.1 million  was
assigned to trademarks that are not subject to
amortization,  while  the  remaining  acquired  intangibles
of $0.1 million were allocated to customer related
intangibles which are being amortized over the
estimated useful life of 3 years. In addition, approxi-
mately $1.5 million of the purchase price was assigned
to goodwill, which is expected to be deductible for tax
purposes. The  acquisition  was  financed  utilizing
available  cash  balances.  Fine  Stationery’s  net  revenues
and loss before income taxes of $8.3 million and ($1.1)
million,  respectively,  were  included  in  the  Company’s
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal
year ended July 1, 2012. Based upon the financial
performance of Fine Stationery during fiscal 2012,
the earn-out for fiscal 2012 was not achieved, and the
Company reduced its associated earn-out liability by
approximately  $0.2 million.

Acquisition of Mrs. Beasley’s

On March 9, 2011, the Company acquired selected
assets of Mrs. Beasley’s Bakery, LLC (Mrs. Beasley’s),
a baker and marketer of cakes, muffins and gourmet
gift baskets for cash consideration of approximately
$1.5 million. The  acquisition  included  inventory  and
certain  manufacturing  equipment,  which  was  consoli-
dated within the Company’s baked goods manufactur-
ing facilities. Approximately $0.6 million of the purchase
price was assigned to tradenames that are not subject
to amortization, while $0.3 million was assigned to
goodwill which is expected to be deductible for tax
purposes. The amounts of net revenues and income

The Company is in the process of finalizing its
allocation of the purchase prices to individual assets
acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the
acquisition of Flowerama. This may result in potential
adjustments to the carrying value of its respective
recorded assets and liabilities, the establishment of
certain additional intangible assets, revisions of useful
lives of intangible assets, some of which will have
indefinite lives not subject to amortization, and the
determination of any residual amount that will be
allocated to goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the
purchase price included in the current period balance
sheet is based on the best estimates of management
and is subject to revision based on final determination
of asset fair values and useful lives. The following table
summarizes the allocation of purchase price to the
estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed at the date of the acquisition of Flowerama,

(1) The total carrying amount of goodwill for all periods in the table above is reflected net of $71.1 million of  accumulated impairment charges, which were
recorded in the GFGB segment.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable

intangible assets acquired in each business combination, with the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill
allocated to its reporting units.

Goodwill and other indefinite lived intangibles are subject to an assessment for impairment, which must be
performed annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill or other indefinite lived
intangibles might be impaired. Goodwill impairment testing involves a two-step process. Step 1 compares the fair
value of the Company’s reporting units to their carrying values. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying
value, no further analysis is necessary. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Step 2 must
be completed to quantify the amount of impairment. Step 2 calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting
the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, of the reporting unit, from the fair value of the
reporting unit as determined in Step 1. The implied fair value of goodwill determined in this step is compared to the
carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment
loss, equal to the difference, is recognized.

The Company’s other intangible assets consist of the following:

                                                                                              July 1,                                                                 July 3,

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. There were no impairments of intangible assets
during the years ended July 1, 2012, and July 3, 2011.

The amortization of intangible assets for the years ended July 1, 2012, July 3, 2011 and June 27, 2010 was

$1.8 million, $2.3 million, and $3.0 million, respectively. Future estimated amortization expense is as follows: 2013 —
$1.8 million, 2014 — $1.4 million, 2015 — $1.3 million, and 2016 — $1.2 million, and thereafter — $2.7 million.

(1) On April 14, 2009, the Company amended its 2008

Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as
administrative agent, and a group of lenders (the
“Amended 2008 Credit Facility”). The Amended 2008
Credit Facility provided for term loan debt of $92.4 million
and  a  seasonally  adjusted  revolving  credit  line  ranging
from $75.0 to $125.0 million. The Amended 2008 Credit

31

Facility, effective March 28, 2009, also revised certain
financial  and  non-financial  covenants.

On April 16, 2010, the Company entered into a
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
“2010 Credit Facility”). The 2010 Credit Facility included
a  prepayment  of  approximately  $12.1 million,  comprised
primarily of the proceeds from the sale of the Home &
Children’s Gifts segment in January 2010, and thereby
reducing the Company’s outstanding term loan under
the facility to $60 million upon closing. The term loan,
which matures on March 30, 2014, is payable in sixteen
quarterly  installments  of  principal  and  interest  beginning
in June 2010, with escalating principal payments at the
rate of 20% in year one, 25% in years two and three and
30% in year four.

In addition, the 2010 Credit Facility extended the
Company’s  revolving  credit  line  through  April 16,  2014,
and  reduced  available  borrowings  from  a  seasonally
adjusted limit which ranged from $75.0 million to
$125.0 million  to  a  seasonally  adjusted  limit  ranging
from $40.0 to $75.0 million. The 2010 Credit Facility also
revised  certain  financial  and  non-financial  covenants,
including maintenance of certain financial ratios. The
obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the
2010 Credit Facility are secured by liens on all personal
property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

Outstanding amounts under the 2010 Credit Facility

will bear interest at the Company’s option of either:
(i) LIBOR plus a defined margin, or (ii) the agent bank’s
prime rate plus a margin. The applicable margins for the
Company’s term loans and revolving credit facility will
range from 3.00% to 3.75% for LIBOR loans and 2.00%
to 2.75% for ABR loans with pricing based upon the
Company’s  leverage  ratio.

As a result of the modifications of its credit facilities,

during the year ended June 27, 2010, the Company
wrote-off deferred financing costs in the amount of
$0.3 million.

The Company does not enter into derivative transac-
tions for trading purposes, but rather to hedge its expo-
sure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company manages
its floating rate debt using interest rate swaps in order to
reduce its exposure to the impact of changing interest
rates on its consolidated results of operations and future
cash outflows for interest.

In July 2009, the Company entered into a $45.0 mil-

lion notional amount swap agreement that exchanges
a variable interest rate (LIBOR) for a 1.92% fixed rate
of interest over the term of the agreement. This swap
matures on July 25, 2012. The Company designated
this swap as a cash flow hedge of the interest rate risk
attributable to forecasted variable interest (LIBOR)
payments at inception. The effective portion of the after tax
fair value gains or losses on this swap is included as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The ineffective portion, if any, is recorded within interest
expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

(2) During March 2009, the Company obtained a

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

$5.0 million equipment lease line of credit with a bank
and a $5.0 million equipment lease line of credit with a
vendor. Interest under these lines, which both came due
in April 2012, ranged from 2.99% to 7.48%. Both lines of
credit are currently closed, however, the Company also
has minimal equipment leases directly with certain
manufacturing  equipment  vendors.

As of July 1, 2012 long-term debt maturities are

as follows:

Year                                                                   Debt Maturities

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements

On June 29, 2009, the Company adopted the newly
issued accounting standard for fair value measurements
of all non-financial assets and liabilities not recognized
or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis. The Company’s non-financial assets,
such as goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant
and equipment, are recorded at cost and are assessed
for impairment when an event or circumstance indicates
that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have
occurred.  Goodwill  and  indefinite  lived  intangibles  are
also tested for impairment annually, as required under
the  accounting  standards.

Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts

payable and accrued expenses are reflected in the
consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which
approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of
these instruments. Although no trading market exists,
the Company believes that the carrying amount of its
debt approximates fair value due to its variable nature.

The authoritative guidance for fair value measure-
ments establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair
value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unad-
justed quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the
guidance  are  described  below:

Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities that
the entity has the ability to access.

Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets
that are not active, or other inputs that are
observable or can be corroborated by
observable data for substantially the full term
of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are supported

by little or no market activity and that are
significant to the fair value of the assets
or  liabilities.

The following table presents by level, within the fair
value hierarchy, assets and liabilities measured at fair
value on a recurring basis as of July 1, 2012:

                                                          Fair Value Measurements

Note 11. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S.

federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.
The Company has concluded its federal examination
by the Internal Revenue Service for its fiscal years 2007
through 2009. Fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011 remain subject
to federal examination. Due to non-conformity with the
federal statute of limitations for assessment, certain
states remain open from fiscal 2008.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and
penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as
a component of income tax expense. At July 1, 2012,
the Company has an unrecognized tax position of
approximately  $0.5 million,  including  accrued  interest
and penalties of $0.1 million. The Company does not
believe there will be any material changes in its unrecog-
nized tax positions over the next twelve months.

Significant components of the income tax provision

from continuing operations are as follows:

                                                                Years Ended

Deferred taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary

liabilities  for  financial  reporting  purposes  and  the
amounts used for income tax purposes. The significant
components of the Company’s deferred tax assets

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more
likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The Company has established
valuation  allowances  primarily  for  net  operating  loss
carryforwards in certain states. At July 1, 2012, the
Company’s  federal  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  were
approximately $3.3 million, which if not utilized, will begin
to expire in fiscal year 2025.

Note 12. Capital Stock

Holders of Class A common stock generally have the

same rights as the holders of Class B common stock,
except that holders of Class A common stock have one
vote per share and holders of Class B common stock
have 10 votes per share on all matters submitted to the
vote of stockholders. Holders of Class A common stock
and Class B common stock generally vote together as a
single class on all matters presented to the stockholders
for their vote or approval, except as may be required by
Delaware law. Class B common stock may be converted
into Class A common stock at any time on a one-for-one
share basis. Each share of Class B common stock will
automatically convert into one share of Class A common
stock upon its transfer, with limited exceptions.

On January 21, 2008, the Company’s Board of

Directors authorized an increase to its stock repurchase
plan, which when added to the $8.7 million remaining on

33

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

its  earlier  authorization,  increased  the  amount  available
to repurchase to $15.0 million. Any such purchases
could be made from time to time in the open market
and through privately negotiated transactions, subject to
general market conditions. The repurchase program will
be financed utilizing available cash. As of July 1, 2012,
$8.5 million  remains  authorized.

Under this program, as of July 1, 2012, the Company
had repurchased 3,703,626 shares of common stock for
$17.8 million,  of  which  $3.3 million  (1,133,913  shares),
$0.5 million  (168,207  shares),  and  $0.9 million  (342,821
shares) were repurchased during the fiscal years ended
July 1, 2012, July 3, 2011 and June 27, 2010, respectively.

The Company has stock options and restricted stock

awards outstanding to participants under the 1-800-
FLOWERS.COM 2003 Long Term Incentive and Share
Award Plan (the “Plan”). Options are also outstanding
under the Company’s 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, but no
further options may be granted under this plan. The Plan
is a broad-based, long-term incentive program that is
intended to attract, retain and motivate employees,
consultants and directors to achieve the Company’s
long-term growth and profitability objectives, and there-
fore align stockholder and employee interests. The Plan
provides for the grant to eligible employees, consultants
and directors of stock options, share appreciation rights
(“SARs”), restricted shares, restricted share units, perfor-
mance  shares,  performance  units,  dividend  equivalents,
and other share-based awards (collectively “Awards”).

Note 13. Stock Based Compensation

The Plan is administered by the Compensation
Committee or such other Board committee (or the
entire Board) as may be designated by the Board (the
“Committee”). Unless otherwise determined by the Board,
the Committee will consist of two or more members of
the Board who are non-employee directors within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and “outside directors” within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. The Committee will determine which eligible
employees, consultants and directors receive awards,
the types of awards to be received and the terms and
conditions thereof. The Chief Executive Officer shall
have the power and authority to make Awards under
the Plan to employees and consultants not subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, subject to limitations
imposed by the Committee.

At July 1, 2012, the Company has reserved approxi-

The expected volatility of the option is determined using historical volatilities based on historical stock prices.

The Company estimated the expected life of options granted based upon the historical weighted average. The risk-free
interest rate is determined using the yield available for zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal
to the expected life of the option. The Company has never paid a dividend, and as such the dividend yield is 0.0%.

exercised their options on July 1, 2012. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the company’s stock.
The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the years ended July 1, 2012, July 3, 2011 and June 27, 2010 was

strategic decision to divest its Home & Children’s Gifts
business segment to focus on its core Consumer Floral,
BloomNet Wire Service and Gourmet Foods & Gift
Baskets segments. On January 25, 2010, the Company
completed the sale of these businesses. Consequently,
the Company has classified the results of operations of its
Home & Children’s Gifts segment, and its wine fulfillment
services business as discontinued operations for all
periods  presented.

Segment performance is measured based on contri-
bution margin, which includes only the direct controllable
revenue and operating expenses of the segments.
As such, management’s measure of profitability for
these segments does not include the effect of corporate
overhead (see (1) below), which are operated under a
centralized  management  platform,  providing  services
throughout the organization, nor does it include deprecia-
tion and amortization, other income, and income taxes,
or stock-based compensation and severance and
restructuring costs, both of which are included within
corporate overhead. Assets and liabilities are reviewed
at the consolidated level by management and not
accounted for by segment.

Note 14. Employee Retirement Plans

The Company has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
covering substantially all of its eligible employees.
All employees who have attained the age of 21 are
eligible to participate upon completion of one month of
service. Participants may elect to make voluntary contri-
butions to the 401(k) plan in amounts not exceeding
federal guidelines. On an annual basis the Company, as
determined by its board of directors, may make certain
discretionary contributions. Employees are vested in the
Company’s contributions based upon years of service.
The  Company  suspended  all  contributions  during  fiscal
years 2012, 2011 and 2010.

The  Company  also  has  a  nonqualified  supplemental

deferred compensation plan for certain executives
pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
Participants can defer from 1% up to a maximum of 100%
of salary and performance and non-performance based
bonus. The Company will match 50% of the deferrals
made by each participant during the applicable period,
up to a maximum of $2,500. Employees are vested in the
Company’s contributions based upon years of participa-
tion in the plan. Distributions will be made to participants
upon termination of employment or death in a lump sum,
unless installments are selected. As of July 1, 2012 and
July 3, 2011, these plan liabilities, which are included in
Other liabilities-long term within the Company’s Consoli-
dated Balance Sheet, totaled $1.1mm and $0.3mm,
respectively. The associated plan assets, which are
subject to the claims of the creditors, are primarily invested
in mutual funds and are included in Other assets-long term.
Company contributions during the years ended July 1,
2012, July 3, 2011 and June 27, 2010 were less than
$0.1 million. Gains and losses on these investments,
which were immaterial during fiscal years 2012, 2011
and 2010, are included in Interest expense, net, within
the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 15. Business Segments

The Company’s management reviews the results

of the Company’s operations by the following three
business  segments:

• Consumer Floral;
• BloomNet Wire Service; and
• Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets; and

proceeds at closing, with the potential for an additional
$1.5 million  upon  achieving  specified  revenue  targets
during the two year period following the closing date.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the
Company made the strategic decision to divest its
Home & Children’s Gifts business segment to focus on
its core Consumer Floral, BloomNet Wire Service and
Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segments. On January 25,
2010, the Company completed the sale of the assets and
certain related liabilities of its Home & Children’s Gifts
business. The sales price of the assets was $17.0 million,
subject to adjustments for changes in working capital.
(Net proceeds amounted to $10.5 million.)

As a result of the transactions above, the Company has
classified the results of operations of its Home & Children’s
Gifts segment, and its wine fulfillment services business as
discontinued  operations  for  all  periods  presented.

Results for discontinued operations are as follows:

cost centers, and include, among other items, Information Technology,
Human Resources, Accounting and Finance, Legal, Executive and
Customer Service Center functions, as well as Stock-Based Compensation.
In order to leverage the Company’s infrastructure, these functions are
operated under a centralized management platform, providing support
services throughout the organization. The costs of these functions, other
than those of the Customer Service Center, which are allocated directly to
the above segments based upon usage, are included within corporate
expenses, as they are not directly allocable to a specific segment.

(2) Segment contribution margin, during the year ended July 1, 2012,
includes a $3.8 million gain on the sale of 17 Fannie May retail stores,
which are being operated as franchised locations post-sale.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases

The Company currently leases office, store facilities,
and equipment under various leases through fiscal 2019.
As these leases expire, it can be expected that in the
normal course of business they will be renewed or
replaced. Most lease agreements contain renewal
options and rent escalation clauses and require the
Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, common
area  maintenance  and  operating  expenses  applicable
to the leased properties. The Company has also entered
into leases that are on a month-to-month basis. These
leases are classified as either capital leases, operating
leases or subleases, as appropriate.

As of July 1, 2012 future minimum payments under

non-cancelable  operating  leases  with  initial  terms  of
one year or more consist of the following:

                                                                                    Operating

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal
proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course
of business.

On November 10, 2010, a purported class action
complaint was filed in the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of New York naming the
Company  (along  with Trilegiant  Corporation, Inc.,
Affinion, Inc. and Chase Bank USA, N.A.) as defendants
in an action purporting to assert claims against
the  Company  alleging  violations  arising  under  the
Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act among other
statutes, and for breach of contract and unjust
enrichment in connection with certain post-transaction
marketing practices in which certain of the Company’s
subsidiaries  previously  engaged  in  with  certain  third-
party vendors. On March 6, 2012 and March 15, 2012,
two additional purported class action complaints were
filed in the United States District Court for the District of
Connecticut naming the Company and numerous other
parties as defendants in actions purporting to assert
claims substantially similar to those asserted in the
lawsuit filed on November 10, 2010. In each case,
plaintiffs seek to have the respective case certified as
a class action and seek restitution and other damages,
each in an amount in excess of $5.0 million. On April 26,
2012, the two Connecticut cases were consolidated with
a third case previously pending in the United States
District Court for the District of Connecticut in which the
Company is not a party. The Company intends to defend
each of these actions vigorously.

There are no assurances that additional legal
actions will not be instituted in connection with the
Company’s  former  post-transaction  marketing  practices
involving third party vendors nor can we predict the
outcome of any such legal action. At this time, we are
unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible
loss for the aforementioned actions for various reasons,
including, among others: (i) the damages sought are
indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the very early
stages and the court has not yet ruled as to whether
the classes will be certified , and (iii) there is uncertainty
as to the outcome of pending motions. As a result of
the foregoing, we have determined that the amount
of possible loss or range of loss is not reasonably
estimable.  However,  legal  matters  are  inherently
unpredictable  and  subject  to  significant  uncertainties,
some of which may be beyond our control.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated

balance sheets of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (the Company) as of July 1, 2012 and
July 3, 2011, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended July 1, 2012.
These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assur-
ance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclo-
sures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the consoli-
dated financial position of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc.
and Subsidiaries at July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended July 1, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted  accounting  principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the

standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and
Subsidiaries’  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as
of July 1, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commis-
sion and our report dated September 14, 2012 expressed
an  adverse  opinion  thereon.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and
maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial
reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act
as a process designed by, or under the supervision of,
the  Company’s  principal  executive  and  principal  financial
officers and effectuated by the Company’s board of
directors, management and other personnel to provide
reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and
includes those policies and procedures that:

• pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reason-

able detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that
receipts and expenditures of the Company are being
made in accordance with authorization of management
and directors of the Company; and

•  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention

or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control

over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effective-
ness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls
may become inadequate because of changes in condi-
tions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures  may  deteriorate.

Management,  including  the  Company’s  Chief  Execu-

tive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework established in
“Internal Control—Integrated Framework,” issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, manage-
ment concluded that the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting was not effective as of July 1, 2012 as
a result of a material weakness in the accounting and
disclosure for deferred income taxes as described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting,
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected
on a timely basis. The following material weakness was
identified as of July 1, 2012.

As of July 1, 2012, the Company did not maintain
effective controls over financial reporting for deferred
income taxes. Specifically, our processes and procedures
did not provide for adequate and timely identification of
deferred  tax  liabilities  on  non-amortizable  intangibles
arising from historical acquisitions prior to fiscal 2007.
These  errors  in  purchase  price  allocation  subsequently
impacted  the  goodwill  impairment  charges  recorded  by
the Company in fiscal 2009. In connection with this
review, the Company also identified an issue related to
the treatment of deferred tax liabilities on basis differ-
ences related to fixed assets which were recorded in
error during fiscal years 2009 and prior.

As a result of the material weakness in our internal
control over financial reporting described above, man-
agement concluded that, as of July 1, 2012, its internal
control over financial reporting was not effective.

The  Company’s  independent  registered  public

accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, audited the effective-
ness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting as of July 1, 2012. Ernst & Young LLP’s report on
the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting as of July 1, 2012 is set forth below.

(Principal Executive Officer)

(Principal  Financial  and  Accounting  Officer)

Remediation Plans for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Subsequent to year-end, the Company believes that it has implemented enhanced internal control procedures

to address the material weakness discussed above. In response to the identified material weakness in deferred
income taxes, management, with oversight from the Company’s Audit Committee, has dedicated significant in-house
and external resources to implement enhancements to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting so
as to remediate the material weakness described above. These ongoing efforts are focused on: (i) expanding our
organizational capabilities to improve our monitoring and governance processes over deferred income taxes,
(ii) implementing process improvements to strengthen our internal control and monitoring activities over deferred
taxes, and (iii) adding resources to the review and oversight process.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
identified no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended
July 1, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal
control  over  financial  reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and

Subsidiaries  (the  Company’s)  internal  control  over
financial reporting as of July 1, 2012, based on criteria
established  in  Internal  Control—Integrated  Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria).
The  Company’s  management  is  responsible  for  maintain-
ing effective internal control over financial reporting, and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over  financial  reporting  included  in  the  accompanying
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit
included  obtaining  an  understanding  of  internal  control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the
assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles. A company’s internal control over financial
reporting  includes  those  policies  and  procedures  that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reason-
able detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the
company;  and  (3) provide  reasonable  assurance  regard-

ing prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisi-
tion, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control

over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting,
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected on
a timely basis. The following material weakness has been
identified and included in management’s assessment.
Management has identified a material weakness in
controls related to the Company’s process for deferred
income taxes. We also have audited, in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated
balance sheets of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockhold-
ers’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended July 1, 2012. This material weakness
was considered in determining the nature, timing and
extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2012
financial statements and this report does not affect our
report dated September 14, 2012, which expressed an
unqualified  opinion  on  those  financial  statements.

In our opinion, because of the effect of the material
weakness described above on the achievement of the
objectives of the control criteria, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc.
and Subsidiaries has not maintained effective internal
control over financial reporting as of July 1, 2012, based
on the COSO criteria.

Rights of Common Stock

Holders of Class A common stock generally have the

same rights as the holders of Class B common stock,
except that holders of Class A common stock have one
vote per share and holders of Class B common stock
have 10 votes per share on all matters submitted to the
vote of stockholders. Holders of Class A common stock
and Class B common stock generally vote together as a
single class on all matters presented to the stockholders
for their vote or approval, except as may be required by
Delaware law. Class B common stock may be converted
into Class A common stock at any time on a one-for-one
share basis. Each share of Class B common stock will
automatically convert into one share of Class A common
stock upon its transfer, with limited exceptions.

Holders

is a significantly larger number of beneficial owners. As of
September 1, 2012, there were approximately 14 stock-
holders of record of the Company’s Class B common stock.

Dividend Policy

Although the Company has never declared or paid
any cash dividends on its Class A or Class B common
stock, the Company anticipates that it will generate
increasing free cash flow in excess of its capital invest-
ment requirements. Although the Company has no
current intent to do so, the Company may choose, at
some future date, to use some portion of its cash for
the purpose of cash dividends.

Resales of Securities

36,838,802 shares of Class A and Class B common
stock are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Restricted securities
may be sold in the public market from time to time only
if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from
registration under Rule 144 or 701 under the Securities
Act. As of September 1, 2012, all of such shares of the
Company’s common stock could be sold in the public
market pursuant to and subject to the limits set forth in
Rule 144. Sales of a large number of these shares
could have an adverse effect on the market price of
the Company’s Class A common stock by increasing
the number of shares available on the public market.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

On January 21, 2008, the Company’s Board of

Directors authorized an increase to its stock repurchase
plan, which when added to the $8.7 million remaining
on its earlier authorization, increased the amount
available to repurchase to $15.0 million. Any such
purchases could be made from time to time in the open
market and through privately negotiated transactions,
subject to general market conditions. The repurchase
program will be financed utilizing available cash. As of
July 1, 2012, $8.5 million remains authorized but unused.

As of September 1, 2012, there were approximately

308 stockholders of record of the Company’s Class A
common stock, although the Company believes that there

Under this program, as of July 1, 2012, the Company
had repurchased 3,703,626, shares of common stock for
$17.8 million,  of  which  $3.3 million  (1,133,913  shares),

Special Note Regarding Forward-
Looking Statements 

This annual report contains forward-looking statements 
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation 
Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements 
represent the Company’s expectations or beliefs at the time 
of this writing concerning future events and can generally 
be identified by the use of statements that include words 
such as “estimate,” “expects,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” 
“intend,” “plan,” “foresee,” “likely,” “will,” “target” or similar words 
or phrases. Forward-looking statements include, but are not 
limited to, statements regarding the Company’s ability to 
build on positive trends in its business, its ability to leverage 
its multibrand website to enhance cross brand marketing 
efforts, its ability to achieve its guidance for EBITDA and EPS 
on a comparitive basis (adjusted for the gain from the sale 
of 17 Fannie May stores) to grow at a double-digit pace in 
fiscal 2013, and its expectation for Free Cash Flow to again 
exceed $20 million for the year. These forward-looking state-
ments are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, 
many of which are outside of the Company’s control, which 
could cause actual results to differ materially from the results 
expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, 
including, among others: the Company’s ability to manage 
the seasonality of its businesses; its ability to cost effectively 
acquire and retain customers; the outcome of contingencies, 
including legal proceedings in the normal course of business; 
its ability to compete against existing and new competitors; 
its ability to manage expenses associated with sales and 
marketing and necessary general and administrative and 
technology investments; and general consumer sentiment 
and economic conditions that may affect levels of discretion-
ary customer purchases of the Company’s products. The 
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any of 
the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new 
information, future events or otherwise, made in this annual 
report or in any of its SEC filings except as may be otherwise 
stated by the Company. For a more detailed description of
