WINMARK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Management’s Interim Financial Statement Representation:

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Winmark Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has a 52/53 week year which ends on the last Saturday in December. The information in the consolidated condensed financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. The consolidated condensed financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q, and therefore do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenues and operating results for the six months ended June 29, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. Organization and Business:

The Company offers licenses to operate franchises using the service marks Plato’s Closet®, Play It Again Sports®, Once Upon A Child®, Music Go Round® and Style Encore™. The Company also operates both middle market and small-ticket equipment leasing businesses under the Winmark Capital® and Wirth Business Credit® marks.

3. Fair Value Measurements:

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company uses three levels of inputs to measure fair value:

· Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

· Level 2 — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

· Level 3 — unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company’s marketable securities were valued based on Level 1 inputs using quoted prices.

The Company determined the fair value of its investment in Tomsten, Inc. to be zero based on Level 3 inputs using a discounted cash flow model which included inputs on future revenues, expenses and other cash flows. See Note 4.

Due to their nature, the carrying value of cash equivalents, receivables, long-term note investments, payables and debt obligations approximates fair value.

The Company’s key credit quality indicator for its investment in direct financing and sales-type leases is the status of the lease, defined as accruing or non-accrual. Leases that are accruing income are considered to have a lower risk of loss. Non-accrual leases are those that the Company believes have a higher risk of loss. The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s accruing and non-accrual leases. Delinquent balances are determined based on the contractual terms of the lease.

6. New Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that requires an entity to present, either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety, entities would instead cross reference to the related footnote for additional information. This guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the new guidance on December 30, 2012 and such adoption has not impacted the consolidated results of the Company.

Exercisable at June 29, 2013 |  | 342,675 |  | $ | 24.59 |  | 5.69 |  | $ | 13,802,800 |

The fair value of options granted under the Option Plans during the first six months of 2013 and 2012 were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions and results:

|  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 29, 2013 |  | June 30, 2012 |
Risk free interest interest rate |  | 1.30 | % | 0.88 | %
Expected life (years) |  | 6 |  | 6 |

Dividend yield |  | 1.90 | % | 2.06 | %
Option fair value |  | $ | 15.84 |  | $ | 12.95 |

During the six months ended June 29, 2013, option holders surrendered 538 shares of previously owned common stock as payment for option shares exercised as provided for by the Option Plans. All unexercised options at June 29, 2013 have an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of the grant.

Compensation expense of $549,100 and $437,400 relating to the vested portion of the fair value of stock options granted was expensed to “Selling, General and Administrative Expenses” in the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of June 29, 2013, the Company had $2.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options that is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 2.7 years.

9. Line of Credit:

As of June 29, 2013, there were $2.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Company’s Line of Credit with The PrivateBank and Trust Company and BMO Harris Bank N.A., bearing interest at 3.75%.

The Line of Credit, which provides for an aggregate commitment of $35.0 million subject to certain borrowing base limitations, has been and will continue to be used for general corporate purposes. The Line of Credit is secured by a lien against substantially all of the Company’s assets, contains customary financial conditions and covenants, and requires maintenance of minimum levels of debt service coverage and tangible net worth and maximum levels of leverage (all as defined within the Line of Credit). As of June 29, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants.

10. Discounted Lease Rentals:

The Company utilized certain lease receivables and underlying equipment as collateral to borrow from financial institutions at a weighted average interest rate of 3.1% at June 29, 2013 on a non-recourse basis.

11. Segment Reporting:

The Company currently has two reportable business segments, franchising and leasing. The franchising segment franchises value-oriented retail store concepts that buy, sell, trade and consign merchandise. The leasing segment includes (i) Winmark Capital Corporation, a middle-market equipment leasing business and (ii) Wirth Business Credit, Inc., a small ticket financing business. Segment reporting is intended to give financial statement users a better view of how the Company manages and evaluates its businesses. The Company’s internal management reporting is the basis for the information disclosed for its business segments and includes allocation of shared-service costs. Segment assets are those that are directly used in or identified with segment operations, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaids, inventory, property and equipment and investment in leasing operations. Unallocated assets include corporate cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, current and long-term investments, current and deferred tax amounts and other corporate assets. Inter-segment balances and transactions have been eliminated. The following tables summarize financial information by segment and provide a reconciliation of segment contribution to operating income:

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

Overview

As of June 29, 2013, we had 986 franchises operating under the Plato’s Closet, Play it Again Sports, Once Upon A Child and Music Go Round brands and had a leasing portfolio of $37.2 million. Management closely tracks the following financial criteria to evaluate current business operations and future prospects: royalties, leasing activity, and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Our most profitable source of franchising revenue is royalties received from our franchise partners. During the first six months of 2013, our royalties increased $1.1 million or 6.9% compared to the first six months of 2012.

During the first six months of 2013, we purchased $10.2 million in equipment for lease customers compared to $10.9 million in the first six months of 2012. Overall, our leasing portfolio (net investment in leases — current and long-term) increased to $37.2 million at June 29, 2013 from $36.2 million at December 29, 2012. Leasing income net of leasing expense during the first six months of 2013 was $6.6 million compared to $5.1 million in the same period last year. Fluctuations in period-to-period leasing income and leasing expense result primarily from the manner and timing in which leasing income and leasing expense is recognized over the term of each particular lease in accordance with accounting guidance applicable to leasing. For this reason, we believe that more meaningful levels of leasing activity are the purchases of equipment for lease customers and the medium- to long-term trend in the size of the leasing portfolio.

Management continually monitors the level and timing of selling, general and administrative expenses. The major components of selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries, wages and benefits, advertising, travel, occupancy, legal and professional fees. During the first six months of 2013, selling, general and administrative expense increased $1.1 million, or 10.2%, compared to the first six months of 2012.

Management also monitors several nonfinancial factors in evaluating the current business operations and future prospects including franchise openings and closings and franchise renewals. The following is a summary of our franchising activity for the first six months ended June 29, 2013:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | SIX MONTHS ENDED 6/29/13 |

Table of Contents

Renewal activity is a key focus area for management. Our franchisees sign 10-year agreements with us. The renewal of existing franchise agreements as they approach their expiration is an indicator that management monitors to determine the health of our business and the preservation of future royalties. During the first six months of 2013, we renewed 45 of the 48 franchise agreements available for renewal.

Our ability to grow our operating income is dependent on our ability to: (i) effectively support our franchise partners so that they produce higher revenues, (ii) open new franchises, (iii) increase lease originations and minimize write-offs in our leasing portfolios, and (iv) control our selling, general and administrative expenses.

Table of Contents

Royalties and Franchise Fees

Royalties increased to $8.6 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2012, an 11.9% increase. The increase was primarily due to higher Plato’s Closet and Once Upon A Child royalties of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The increase in royalties for these brands is primarily from having 35 additional Plato’s Closet and 21 additional Once Upon A Child franchise stores in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same period last year as well as higher franchisee retail sales in these brands.

Franchise fees increased to $389,600 for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $270,000 for the second quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of opening six more franchises in the 2013 period compared to the same period in 2012.

Leasing Income

Leasing income increased to $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2013. The increase is primarily due to the classification of certain leases as sales-type leases in accordance with accounting guidance applicable to lessors as well as a larger lease portfolio in 2013 compared to 2012.

Merchandise Sales

Merchandise sales include the sale of product to franchisees either through our Computer Support Center, or through the Play It Again Sports buying group (together, “Direct Franchisee Sales”). Direct Franchisee Sales decreased to $557,400 for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $656,800 in the same period of 2012. The decrease is due to a decrease in technology purchases by our franchisees.

Cost of Merchandise Sold

Cost of merchandise sold includes in-bound freight and the cost of merchandise associated with Direct Franchisee Sales. Cost of merchandise sold decreased to $524,400 for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $633,500 in the same period of 2012. The decrease was due to a decrease in Direct Franchisee Sales discussed above. Cost of merchandise sold as a percentage of Direct Franchisee Sales for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012 was 94.1% and 96.5%, respectively.

Leasing Expense

Leasing expense increased to $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase is primarily due to the cost associated with those leases classified as sales-type leases noted above.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses was $(51,700) for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $(14,900) for the second quarter of 2012. The provision levels for the periods presented were impacted by net recoveries in the leasing portfolio.

Table of Contents

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 12.6% to $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2013 from $5.2 million in the same period of 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation, benefits and advertising production expenses, inclusive of amounts related to the launch of our new Style Encore resale concept.

Loss from Equity Investments

During the second quarter of 2012, we recorded a loss of $240,700 from our investment in Tomsten (representing our pro-rata share of losses for the period). As of December 29, 2012, we had fully impaired this investment and therefore did not record additional losses during the second quarter of 2013.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $55,100 for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $122,300 for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease is primarily due to lower average corporate borrowings when compared to the same period last year.

Interest and Other Income (Expense)

During the second quarter of 2013, we had interest and other income (expense) of $(100) compared to $(10,000) of interest and other income (expense) in the second quarter of 2012.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was calculated at an effective rate of 38.1% and 39.8% for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The lower effective rate in 2013 compared to 2012 is primarily due to a decrease in state taxes and our recording of deferred tax asset valuation allowance in 2012.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 29, 2013 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Revenue

Revenues for the first six months of 2013 totaled $27.2 million compared to $24.0 million for the comparable period in 2012.

Royalties and Franchise Fees

Royalties increased to $17.1 million for the first six months of 2013 from $16.0 million for the first six months of 2012, a 6.9% increase. The increase was due to higher Plato’s Closet and Once Upon A Child royalties of $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The increase in royalties for these brands is primarily from having 35 additional Plato’s Closet and 21 additional Once Upon A Child franchise stores in the first six months of 2013 compared to the same period last year as well as higher franchisee retail sales in these brands.

Franchise fees increased to $804,200 for the first six months of 2013 compared to $555,000 for the first six months of 2012, primarily as a result of opening 14 more franchises in the 2013 period compared to the same period in 2012.

Provision for credit losses was $(37,900) for the first six months of 2013 compared to $(67,900) for the first six months of 2012. The provision levels for the periods presented were impacted by net recoveries in the leasing portfolio.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 10.2% to $11.4 million in the first six months of 2013 from $10.4 million in the same period of 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation, benefits and advertising production expenses, inclusive of amounts related to the launch of our new Style Encore resale concept.

Loss from Equity Investments

During the first six months of 2012, we recorded a loss of $278,100 from our investment in Tomsten (representing our pro-rata share of losses for the period). As of December 29, 2012, we had fully impaired this investment and therefore did not record additional losses during the first six months of 2013.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $144,600 for the first six months of 2013 compared to $192,100 for the first six months of 2012. The decrease is primarily due to lower average corporate borrowings when compared to the same period last year.

Interest and Other Income (Expense)

During the first six months of 2013, we had interest and other income (expense) of $(10,300) compared to $36,300 of interest and other income in the first six months of 2012. Interest and other income during the first six months of 2012 included gains on sales of marketable securities that did not recur during the first six months of 2013. (See Note 4 — “Investments”).

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was calculated at an effective rate of 38.2% and 39.5% for the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The lower effective rate in 2013 compared to 2012 is primarily due to a decrease in state taxes and our recording of deferred tax asset valuation allowance in 2012.

Segment Comparison of Three Months Ended June 29, 2013 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Franchising Segment Operating Income

The franchising segment’s operating income for the second quarter of 2012 increased by $0.5 million, or 13.3%, to $4.8 million from $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in segment contribution was primarily due to increased royalty revenue.

Leasing Segment Operating Income

The leasing segment’s operating income for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $0.4 million to $2.2 million from $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in segment contribution was primarily due to an increase in leasing income net of leasing expense.

Segment Comparison of Six Months Ended June 29, 2013 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Franchising Segment Operating Income

The franchising segment’s operating income for the first six months of 2013 increased by $0.6 million, or 6.3%, to $9.7 million from $9.1 million for the first six months of 2012. The increase in segment contribution was primarily due to increased royalty revenue.

Leasing Segment Operating Income

The leasing segment’s operating income for the first six months of 2013 increased by $1.3 million to $4.1 million from $2.8 million for the first six months of 2012. The increase in segment contribution was primarily due to an increase in leasing income net of leasing expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been cash flow from operations and borrowings. The components of the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations that reduce our net income but do not affect our liquidity include non-cash items for depreciation, compensation expense related to stock options, loss from and impairment of equity investments and impairment of investment in notes.

We ended the second quarter of 2013 with $2.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and a current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) of 1.8 to 1.0 compared to $2.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and a current ratio of 0.7 to 1.0 at the end of the second quarter of 2012.

Operating activities provided $9.7 million of cash during the first six months of 2013 compared to $8.3 million provided during the same period last year. A contributing factor to the increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2013 compared to 2012 was a decrease in cash paid for income taxes of $0.7 million.

Investing activities used $1.8 million of cash during the first six months of 2013. The 2013 activities consisted primarily of the purchase of equipment for lease customers of $10.2 million and collections on lease receivables of $8.5 million.

Financing activities used $8.0 million of cash during the first six months of 2013. The 2013 activities consisted primarily of net proceeds and tax benefits from exercises of stock options of $1.4 million, proceeds from discounted lease rentals of $0.6 million, net payments on our line of credit of $8.8 million, $0.4 million used for the payment of dividends and $0.8 million used to purchase 13,288 shares of our common stock. (See Note 8 — “Shareholders’ Equity”).

As of June 29, 2013, we had no off balance sheet arrangements.

As of June 29, 2013, our borrowing availability under our credit agreement with The PrivateBank and Trust Company and BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (the “Line of Credit”) was $35.0 million (the lesser of the borrowing base or the aggregate line of credit). There were $2.0 million in borrowings outstanding at June 29, 2013 under the Line of Credit bearing interest at 3.75%, leaving $33.0 million available for additional borrowings.

The Line of Credit, which has a termination date of February 29, 2016, has been and will continue to be used for general corporate purposes. The Line of Credit is secured by a lien against substantially all of our assets, contains customary financial conditions and covenants, and requires maintenance of minimum levels of debt service coverage and tangible net worth and maximum levels of leverage (all as defined within the Line of Credit). As of June 29, 2013, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants.

We may utilize discounted lease financing to provide funds for a portion of our leasing activities. Rates for discounted lease financing reflect prevailing market interest rates and the credit standing of the lessees for which the payment stream of the leases are discounted. We believe that discounted lease financing will continue to be available to us at competitive rates of interest through the relationships we have established with financial institutions.

We believe that the combination of our cash on hand, the cash generated from our franchising business, cash generated from discounting sources and our Line of Credit will be adequate to fund our planned operations through 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company prepares the consolidated financial statements of Winmark Corporation and Subsidiaries in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based on information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from these estimates. The critical accounting policies that the Company believes are most important to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the reported financial results include the following:

20

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition — Royalty Revenue and Franchise Fees

The Company collects royalties from each retail franchise based on a percentage of retail store gross sales. The Company recognizes royalties as revenue when earned. At the end of each accounting period, estimates of royalty amounts due are made based on applying historical weekly sales information to the number of weeks of unreported franchisee sales. If there are significant changes in the actual performance of franchisees versus the Company’s estimates, its royalty revenue would be impacted. During the first six months of 2013, the Company collected $20,600 less than it estimated at December 29, 2012. As of June 29, 2013, the Company’s royalty receivable was $998,500.

The Company collects initial franchise fees when franchise agreements are signed and recognizes the initial franchise fees as revenue when the franchise is opened, which is when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise agreement. Franchise fees collected from franchisees but not yet recognized as income are recorded as deferred revenue in the liability section of the consolidated balance sheet. As of June 29, 2013, deferred franchise fees were $1,273,200.

Leasing Income Recognition

Leasing income for direct financing leases is recognized under the effective interest method. The effective interest method of income recognition applies a constant rate of interest equal to the internal rate of return on the lease. Generally, when a lease is more than 90 days delinquent (where more than three monthly payments are owed), the lease is classified as being on non-accrual and the Company stops recognizing leasing income on that date. Payments received on leases in non-accrual status generally reduce the lease receivable. Leases on non-accrual status remain classified as such until there is sustained payment performance that, in the Company’s judgment, would indicate that all contractual amounts will be collected in full.

In certain circumstances, the Company may re-lease equipment in its existing portfolio. As this equipment may have a fair value greater than its carrying amount when re-leased, the Company may be required to account for the lease as a sales-type lease. At inception of a sales-type lease, revenue is recorded that consists of the present value of the future minimum lease payments discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. In subsequent periods, the recording of income is consistent with the accounting for a direct financing lease.

For leases that are accounted for as operating leases, income is recognized on a straight-line basis when payments under the lease contract are due.

Allowances for Credit Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses at an amount that it believes to be sufficient to absorb losses inherent in its existing lease portfolio as of the reporting dates. Leases are collectively evaluated for potential loss. The Company’s methodology for determining the allowance for credit losses includes consideration of the level of delinquencies and non-accrual leases, historical net charge-off amounts and review of any significant concentrations.

A provision is charged against earnings to maintain the allowance for credit losses at the appropriate level. If the actual results are different from the Company’s estimates, results could be different. The Company’s policy is to charge-off against the allowance the estimated unrecoverable portion of accounts once they reach 121 days delinquent. (See Note 5 — “Investment in Leasing Operations”).

Table of Contents

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of the awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include implied volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value awards on an annual basis. If factors change and the Company employs different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense in future periods or if the Company decides to use a different valuation model, the future periods may differ significantly from what it has recorded in the current period and could materially affect operating income, net income and earnings per share.

Impairment of Long-term Investments

The Company evaluates its long-term equity investments for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment, if any, is measured by the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and their fair value (as prescribed by applicable accounting guidance), based on the best information available, including market prices, discounted cash flow analysis or other financial metrics that management utilizes to help determine fair value. Judgments made by management related to the fair value of its long-term equity investments are affected by factors such as the ongoing financial performance of the investees, additional capital raised by the investees as well as general changes in the economy. If there are significant changes in the actual performance of the long-term equity investments versus the Company’s estimates, the carrying value of these investments could be significantly impacted.

The Company evaluates its long-term note investments for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the notes. The impairment, if any, is measured by the difference between the recorded investment in the notes, including accrued interest, and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the notes (as prescribed by applicable accounting guidance), based on the best information available to management. Once a note investment is deemed impaired, any significant change in the amount or timing of the expected or actual cash flows requires recalculation of the impairment applying the procedures described above. Estimates and assumptions made by management related to the expected future cash flows from the notes could be different than the actual cash flows, which could significantly impact the carrying value of these investments.

See Note 4 — “Investments” for a discussion of the Company’s Long-Term Investments.

Forward Looking Statements

The statements contained in this Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that are not strictly historical fact, including without limitation, the Company’s belief that it will have adequate capital and reserves to meet its current and contingent obligations and operating needs, as well as its disclosures regarding market rate risk are forward looking statements made under the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations as of the date of this Report, but involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward looking statements. Investors are cautioned to consider these forward looking statements in light of important factors which may result in material variations between results contemplated by such forward looking statements and actual results and conditions. See the section appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 entitled “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 1A in this Report for a more complete discussion of certain factors that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ from those in its forward looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company incurs financial markets risk in the form of interest rate risk. Risk can be quantified by measuring the financial impact of a near-term adverse increase in short-term interest rates. At June 29, 2013, the Company had available a $35.0 million line of credit with The PrivateBank and Trust Company and BMO Harris Bank, N.A. The interest rates applicable to this agreement are based on either the bank’s base rate or LIBOR for short-term borrowings (less than three months) or the bank’s index rate for borrowings one year or greater. The Company had $2.0 million of debt outstanding at June 29, 2013 under this line of credit, all of which was in the form of short-term borrowings subject to daily changes in the bank’s base rate. The Company’s earnings would be affected by changes in these short-term interest rates. With the Company’s borrowings at June 29, 2013, a one percent increase in short-term rates would reduce annual pretax earnings by $20,000. The Company had no interest rate derivatives in place at June 29, 2013.

Although the Company conducts business in foreign countries, international operations are not material to its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, foreign currency transaction gains and losses were not material to the Company’s results of operations for the six months ended June 29, 2013. Accordingly, the Company is not currently subject to material foreign currency exchange rate risks from the effects that exchange rate movements of foreign currencies would have on its future costs or on future cash flows it would receive from its foreign activity. To date, the Company has not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during its most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
