Note 1 – Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and ~~six~~nine month ~~period~~periods ended ~~December 29, 2013~~March 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2014. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

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, Valentine’s Day and Administrative Professionals Week, revenues also rise during the Company’s fiscal third and fourth quarters. The Easter Holiday, which was in the Company’s third quarter during fiscal 2013, is in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU No. 2012-02”), which allows entities to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU No. 2012-02 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative impairment test is not required. This ASU became effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 29, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

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

Note 2 – Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share from Continuing Operations

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share from continuing operations:

Note 4 – Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisition of Colonial Gifts Limited

On December 3, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of a controlling interest in Colonial Gifts Limited (iFlorist). IFlorist, located in the UK, is a direct-to-consumer marketer of floral and gift-related products sold and delivered throughout Europe, with annual revenue of approximately $12.8 million and an operating loss of approximately $0.9 million in its most recently completed year end, prior to acquisition. The acquisition was achieved in stages and was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) guidance regarding business combinations.

Prior to December 3, 2013, the Company maintained an investment in iFlorist in the amount of $1.6 million, which was included on the Company’s balance sheet within Other assets. This investment was accounted for under the cost method, as the Company’s ownership stake was 19.9%, and it did not have the ability to exercise significant influence.

On December 3, 2013, the Company acquired an additional interest in iFlorist, bringing the Company’s ownership interest to 56.2%. The acquisition of the additional interest was financed through the conversion of $1.9 million of notes owed by iFlorist to the Company, and a $1.6 million cash payment to iFlorist’s founders. Concurrent with the additional investment, the Company remeasured its initial equity investment in iFlorist, and determined that the acquisition date fair value approximated the Company’s carrying value of $1.6 million, and therefore no gain or loss was recognized. On the acquisition date, the Company also measured the fair value of the noncontrolling interest which amounted to $3.6 million. The acquisition-date fair values of the Company’s previously held equity interest in iFlorist and the noncontrolling interest were determined based on the market price the Company paid for its ownership interest in iFlorist on the acquisition date, assuming that a 20% control premium was paid to obtain the controlling interest. The following summarizes the fair values of the acquisition date purchase price components:

	iFlorist Fair Valueof PurchasePrice Components		iFlorist Fair Value of Purchase Price Components
	(in thousands)		(in thousands)
Cash	$	1,640	$	1,640

Initial equity investment		1,629		1,629
Noncontrolling interest		3,567		3,567
Total purchase price	$	8,751	$	8,751

The total purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our preliminary estimates of their fair values on the acquisition date. The Company is in the process of finalizing its allocation and this may result in potential adjustments to the carrying value of the respective recorded assets and liabilities, establishment of certain additional intangible assets, revisions of useful lives of intangible assets, and the determination of any residual amount that will be allocated to goodwill. Of the acquired intangible assets, $1.3 million was assigned to customer lists, which is being amortized over the estimated remaining life of 3 years, $1.9 million was assigned to trademarks, and $6.2 million was assigned to goodwill, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.As a result of cumulative tax losses in the foreign jurisdiction, offset in part by the deferred tax liability arising from the amortizable customer list which was considered a source of future income, the Company concluded that a full valuation allowance be recorded in such jurisdiction.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition of iFlorist:

Acquisition of Pingg

On May 31, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Pingg Corp., an online invitation and event planner with annual revenues of approximately $0.6 million in its most recently completed year end prior to the acquisition. The purchase price, which included the acquisition of software, receivables and certain other assets and related liabilities, was approximately ~~$1.7~~$1.6 million. Approximately ~~$0.5~~$0.4 million of the purchase price was assigned to goodwill. The acquisition was financed utilizing available cash balances. Operating results of the acquired entity, which are not significant, are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, in the 1-800-Flowers.com Consumer Floral segment.

Acquisition of 1-800-Flowers’ European trademarks

On March 11, 2013, the Company acquired the European rights to various derivations of the 1-800-Flowers’ tradename, trademark, URL’s and telephone numbers from Flowerscorp Pty Ltd. for a purchase price of $4.0 million, which is included within Other Intangibles, net. The Company has paid $3.0 million of the $4.0 million purchase price, and is required to make a final payment of $1.0 million on March 11, 2015, the balance of which is included on the balance sheet within ~~“Other liabilities”.~~Accrued Expenses.

Note 7 – Investments

The Company has certain investments in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method if they provide 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 ownership 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 equity method 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 Company’s equity method investments are comprised of a 32% interest in Flores Online, a Sao Paulo, Brazil based internet floral and gift retailer, that the Company made on May 31, 2012. The book value of this investment was ~~$3.6~~$3.5 million as of ~~December 29, 2013~~March 30, 2014 and $3.8 million as of June 30, 2013, and is included in Other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s equity in the net loss of Flores Online for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December 29, 2013~~March 30, 2014 was ~~less than~~ $0.1 million and ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million, respectively.

Investments in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies, where the Company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the cost method. 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 ~~$0.7~~$0.8 million as of ~~December 29, 2013~~March 30, 2014 and $2.3 million as of June 30, 2013. In addition, the Company had notes receivable from companies it maintains an investment in of $0.5 million as of ~~December 29, 2013~~March 30, 2014 and $2.3 million as of June 30, 2013. As described in Note 4 “Acquisitions and Dispositions” ~~above,~~, on December 2,3, 2013, the Company increased its investment in iFlorist, resulting in a majority ownership interest (56%) ~~and consolidation of iFlorist’s operations,~~, through the conversion of notes receivable and the purchase of additional shares from the Company’s founders. The acquisition of a majority interest in iFlorist resulted in the consolidation of iFlorist’s operations, and the reduction of both the Company’s cost-basis investment and notes receivable between June 30, 2013 and ~~December 29, 2013.~~March 30, 2014.

The Company also holds certain trading securities in a “rabbi trust”, associated with its Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC Plan”). These investments are measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date and are included in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 9).

Each reporting period, the Company uses available qualitative and quantitative information to evaluate its investments for impairment. When a decline in fair value, if any, is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Note 8 –Debt

The Company’s current and long-term debt consists of the following:

On April 10, 2013, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under its 2010 Credit Facility, and entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2013 Credit Facility”). The 2013 Credit Facility consists of a revolving line of credit with a seasonally adjusted limit ranging from $150.0 to $200.0 million and a working capital sublimit ranging from $25.0 to $75.0 million. The 2013 Credit Facility also revised certain financial and non-financial covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of ~~December 29, 2013~~March 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013. Outstanding amounts under the 2013 Credit Facility, which matures on April 10, 2018, bear interest at the Company’s option at either: (i) LIBOR, plus a spread of between 150 and 225 basis points, as determined by the Company’s leverage ratio, or (ii) the agent bank’s prime rate plus a margin. The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the 2013 Credit Facility are secured by liens on all personal property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

Note 9-Fair Value Measurements

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 Company’s investments in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies are carried at cost and are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment, when an event or circumstances indicate that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. The Company’s remaining financial assets and liabilities are measured and recorded at fair value (see table below). 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.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted 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, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~December 29,~~March 30, 2014:

Trading securities held in a rabbi trust are measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date and are included in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company established a Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for certain members of senior management in fiscal 2009. Deferred compensation is invested in mutual funds held in a “rabbi trust” which is restricted for payment to participants of the NQDC Plan.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. This estimate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods. The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December 29, 2013~~March 30, 2014 was ~~38.2%~~44.5% and ~~38.1%~~37.1% respectively, compared to ~~37.1%~~32.3% and ~~39.0%~~37.6% in the same periods of the prior year. The effective rate for fiscal 2014 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, and other permanent differences, offset by tax credits and ~~incentives.~~incentives as well as the reversal of certain unrecognized tax positions. The effective rate for fiscal 2013 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, ~~and~~ other permanent differences ~~including the impact of expiring non-qualified stock options, offset by~~and a change in uncertain tax ~~credits and incentives.~~positions.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company concluded its federal examination for fiscal 2011 during the quarter ended December 29, 2013, however, fiscal years ~~2010~~2012 and ~~2012~~2013 remain subject to federal examination. Due to ongoing state examinations and 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 December 29, 2013,~~During the three months ended March 30, 2014, the Company reversed approximately $0.2 million of unrecognized tax position as a result of expiring statute of limitations. As such, at March 30, 2014 the Company has anremaining unrecognized tax ~~position~~positions of approximately ~~$0.8~~$0.6 million, including accrued interest and penalties of $0.1 million. The Company believes that ~~$0.4~~an additional $0.2 million of its unrecognized tax positions will be resolved over the next twelve months.

Note 11 – Business Segments

The Company’s management reviews the results of the Company’s operations by the following three business segments:

●

1-800-Flowers.com Consumer Floral,

●

BloomNet Wire Service, and

●

Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets

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 segments based upon usage, are included within corporate expenses, as they are not directly allocable to a specific segment.

Note ~~12-Discontinued~~12 – Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company made the strategic decision to divest the e-commerce and procurement businesses of The Winetasting Network in order to focus on growth opportunities in its Gourmet Foods and Gift Baskets business segment. The Company closed on the sale of its Winetasting Network business on December 31, 2013, at an estimated loss of $1.0 million ($0.6 million, net of tax). The Company had originally estimated a loss of $2.3 million ($1.5 million, net of tax), which was provided for during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, but the loss was reduced to $1.0 million, upon finalization of terms and closing on the sale. As a result, the Company reversed ~~$1.4~~$1.3 million ($~~0.9~~0.8 million, net of tax) of its accrual for the estimated loss during the ~~quarter~~nine months ended ~~December 29, 2013.~~March 30, 2014. The Company has classified the results of its e-commerce and procurement business of Winetasting Network as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

Results for discontinued operations are as follows:

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

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 ("CUTPA") 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 December 23, 2011, plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal seeking to dismiss the entire action without prejudice. The court entered an Order on November 28, 2012, dismissing the case in its entirety. This case was subsequently refiled in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut.

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 "Consolidated Action"). A consolidated amended complaint was filed by plaintiffs on September 7, 2012, purporting to assert claims substantially similar to those originally asserted. The Company moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on December 7, 2012, which was subsequently refiled at the direction of the Court on January 16, 2013.

On December 5, 2012, the same plaintiff from the action voluntarily dismissed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut naming the Company and numerous other parties as defendants, purporting to assert claims substantially similar to those asserted in the consolidated amended complaint (the “Frank Action”). On January 23, 2013, plaintiffs in the Consolidated Action filed a motion to transfer and consolidate the action filed on December 5, 2012 with the Consolidated Action. The Company intends to defend each of these actions vigorously.

On January 31, 2013, the court issued an order to show cause directing plaintiffs' counsel in the Frank Action, also counsel for plaintiffs in the Consolidated Action, to show cause why the Frank Action is distinguishable from the Consolidated Action such that it may be maintained despite the prior-pending action doctrine. On June 13, 2013, the court issued an order in the Frank Action suspending deadlines to answer or to otherwise respond to the complaint until 21 days after the court decides whether the Frank Action should be consolidated with the Consolidated Action. On July 24, 2013 the Frank Action was reassigned to Judge Vanessa Bryant, before whom the Consolidated Action is currently pending, for all further proceedings. On August 14, 2013, other defendants filed a motion for clarification in the Frank Action requesting that Judge Bryant clarify the order suspending deadlines.

~~There~~On March 28, 2014, the Court issued a series of rulings disposing of all the pending motions in both the Consolidated Action and the Frank Action. Among other things, the Court dismissed several causes of action, leaving pending a claim for CUTPA violations stemming from Trilegiant’s refund mitigation strategy and a claim for unjust enrichment. Thereafter, the Court consolidated the Frank case into the Consolidated Action. The time of the remaining defendants to answer what is left of the complaint has ~~been no ruling~~not yet expired and on ~~(1) plaintiff’s motion~~April 28, 2014 Plaintiffs moved for leave to ~~consolidate, (2)~~appeal the ~~order~~various rulings against them to ~~show cause, (3)~~ the ~~motion~~United States Court of Appeals for ~~clarification, or (4)~~ the ~~Company’s motion seeking~~Second Circuit and to ~~dismiss~~have a partial final judgment entered dismissing those claims that the ~~plaintiffs’ amended consolidated complaint. Oral argument thereon was held~~Court had ordered dismissed. The Court has not yet ruled on ~~September 25, 2013, but no ruling has yet been issued.~~this new motion.

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.

(*)

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 segments based upon usage, are included within corporate expenses as they are not directly allocable to a specific segment.

(**)

Performance is measured based on segment contribution margin or segment Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting 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, 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.

Net revenues consist primarily of the selling price of the merchandise, service or outbound shipping charges, less discounts, returns and credits.

During the three months ended March 30, 2014, revenues decreased by 6.3%, in comparison to the same period of the prior year as a result of the shift of the Easter holiday into its fiscal fourth quarter, compared with the prior year when the holiday fell in the Company’s fiscal third quarter, as well as the impact of severe winter weather beginning in January, culminating with the winter storm that effected much of the country during the key Valentine holiday. Adjusting for the pro-forma impact of the shift in the Easter Holiday, as well as the revenue associated with the acquisition of a majority interest of iFlorist, revenue declined approximately 2.5% during the three months ended March 30, 2014.
During the ~~three and six~~nine months ended ~~December 29, 2013,~~March 30, 2014, revenue increased 1.1%, in comparison to the same period of the prior year. This improvement was led by a number of factors, including: i) a combination of new product initiatives, focused advertising, and “everyday” campaigns such as the “Just Because” marketing efforts, ii) incremental revenue within the Consumer Floral segment from the acquisition of a majority interest of iFlorist and favorable comparisons due to the impact of Hurricane Sandy in the prior year, iii) continued improvements within the BloomNet segment as a result of additional market penetration, and iv) improvements within the Gourmet Food & Gift Baskets segment as a result of the continued rebound of DesignPac’s wholesale gift basket products, and solid ecommerce growth within Cheryl’s bakery gifts product line. These growth drivers were partially offset by: i) the Easter holiday shift, ii) the severe winter weather mentioned above, and iii) the calendar shift that resulted in six fewer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, compounded by, iv) the continuation of a difficult macro-economic climate. Adjusting for the pro-forma impact of the shift in the Easter Holiday, as well as the revenue associated with the acquisition of a majority interest of iFlorist, revenue increased approximately 1.9% during the nine months ended March 30, 2014.

Further contributing to the growth during the three and six months ended December 29, 2013 were continued improvements within the BloomNet segment, as a result of additional market penetration, as well as growth withinbrands, partially offset by an increase in the Consumer Floral segment ~~driven primarily through~~due to the acquisition of ~~a majority interest in~~ iFlorist. Year-over-year growth during the periods was the result of a combination of new product initiatives, focused holiday advertising, and “everyday” campaigns such as the “Just Because” marketing efforts, as well as favorable comparisons during November due to the impact of Hurricane Sandy in the prior year. This growth was achieved despite the continuation of a difficult economy, compounded by the headwinds caused by the impact of the government shutdown in October and the impact of the calendar shift that resulted in six fewer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company made the strategic decision to divest the e-commerce and procurement businesses of The Winetasting Network in order to focus on growth opportunities in its Gourmet Foods and Gift Baskets business segment. The Company closed on the sale of its Winetasting Network business on December 31, 2013, at an estimated loss of $1.0 million ($0.6 million, net of tax). The Company had originally estimated a loss of $2.3 million ($1.5 million, net of tax), which was provided for during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, but the loss was reduced to $1.0 million, upon finalization of terms and closing on the sale. As a result, the Company reversed ~~$1.4~~$1.3 million ($~~0.9~~0.8 million, net of tax)of its accrual for the estimated loss during the ~~quarter~~nine months ended ~~December 29, 2013.~~March 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

At ~~December 29, 2013,~~March 30, 2014, the Company had working capital of ~~$24.5~~$20.0 million, including cash and cash equivalents of ~~$3.3~~$1.3 million, compared to working capital of $16.9 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 million, at June 30, 2013.

Net cash provided by operating activities of ~~$17.8~~$23.6 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December 29, 2013,~~March 30, 2014, was primarily ~~due to~~generated by the Company’s net income for the period, adjusted for non-cash charges related to depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, offset by seasonal changes in working capital, which included ~~seasonal~~ increases in accounts receivable related to wholesale Easter sales, and inventory associated with the ~~December~~upcoming Mother’s Day holiday ~~selling season,~~and Easter Holiday for retail store and e-commerce operations, offset by ~~associated seasonal increases~~a decrease in ~~accounts payable and accrued~~prepaid expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities of ~~$11.2~~$15.3 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December 29, 2013,~~March 30, 2014, was primarily attributable to capital expenditures related to the Company's technology infrastructure, as well as the increased investment to a majority ownership interest in iFlorist, a UK based online floral gift provider.

Net cash used in financing activities of ~~$3.5~~$7.1 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December 29, 2013~~March 30, 2014 was primarily from the acquisition of ~~$6.5~~$7.4 million of treasury stock, partially offset by ~~net non-working capital borrowings~~proceeds from exercise of ~~$3.0 million under the Company’s credit facility.~~employee stock options. All working capital borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility were repaid by the end of the fiscal ~~second~~third quarter.

On April 10, 2013, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under its 2010 Credit Facility, and entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2013 Credit Facility”). The 2013 Credit Facility consists of a revolving line of credit with a seasonally adjusted limit ranging from $150.0 to $200.0 million and a working capital sublimit ranging from $25.0 to $75.0 million. The 2013 Credit Facility also revised certain financial and non-financial covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of ~~September 29,~~March 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013. Outstanding amounts under the 2013 Credit Facility, which matures on April 10, 2018, ~~will~~ bear interest at the Company’s option at either: (i) LIBOR, plus a spread of between 150 and 225 basis points, as determined by the Company’s leverage ratio, or (ii) the agent bank’s prime rate plus a margin. The ~~amounts outstanding~~obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the 2013 Credit Facility ~~amounted to $3 million, as~~are secured by liens on all personal property of ~~December 29, 2013,~~the Company and ~~$0 as of June 30, 2013.~~its domestic subsidiaries.

The Company believes that cash flows from operations along with available borrowings from its 2013 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. It is anticipated that any borrowings required subsequent to the end of the fiscal second quarter will be for non-working capital purposes, such as capital additions, including the expansion of Cheryl’s production facility, as well as stock repurchases and acquisitions.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company has a stock repurchase plan through which purchases can be made from time to time in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions, subject to general market conditions. The repurchase program is financed utilizing available cash. In March 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an increase of $20 million to its stock repurchase plan. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December 29, 2013,~~March 30, 2014, the Company repurchased ~~$6.5~~$7.4 million of its Class A Common Stock. As of ~~December 29, 2013, $12.4~~March 30, 2014, $11.5 million remains authorized but unused.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business, related to the Company’s contractual obligations as discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company’s most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets and income taxes. There have been no significant changes to the assumptions and estimates related to the Company’s critical accounting policies, since June 30, 2013.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU No. 2012-02”), which allows entities to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU No. 2012-02 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative impairment test is not required. This ASU became effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 29, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Forward Looking Information and Factors that May Affect Future Results

Our disclosure and analysis in this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent the Company’s current expectations or beliefs concerning future events and can generally be identified by the use of statements that include words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “foresee,” “likely,” “will,” “goal,” “target” or similar words or phrases. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including:

●
the Company’s ability:

○
to achieve revenue and profitability;

○
to leverage its operating platform and reduce operating expenses;

○
to grow its 1-800-Baskets.com business;

○
to manage the increased seasonality of its business;

○
to cost effectively acquire and retain customers;

○
to effectively integrate and grow acquired companies;

○
to reduce working capital requirements and capital expenditures;

○
to compete against existing and new competitors;

○
to manage expenses associated with sales and marketing and necessary general and administrative and technology investments; and

○
to cost efficiently manage inventories;

●
the outcome of contingencies, including legal proceedings in the normal course of business; and

●
general consumer sentiment and economic conditions that may affect levels of discretionary customer purchases of the Company’s products.

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 listed various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historic results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers can find them in Part I, Item 1A, of that filing under the heading “Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995”. We incorporate that section of that Form 10-K in this filing and investors should refer to it.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risk from the effect of interest rate changes and changes in the market values of its investments.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s investment of available cash balances and its long-term debt. The Company generally invests its cash and cash equivalents in investment grade corporate and U.S. government securities. Due to the currently low rates of return the Company is receiving on its cash equivalents, the potential for a significant decrease in short-term interest rates is low and, therefore, a further decrease would not have a material impact on the Company’s interest income. Borrowings under the Company’s credit facility bear interest at a variable rate, plus an applicable margin, and therefore exposes the Company to market risk for changes in interest rates. The effect of a 50 basis point increase in current interest rates on its interest expense would be approximately ~~$0.1~~$0.0 million and ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December 29, 2013.~~March 30, 2014.

Investment Risk

The Company has certain investments in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies. The Company accounts for these investments using either the equity or the cost method. The Company reviews its investments for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the decline in fair value of such assets below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. The Company’s analysis includes review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales/acquisitions of the investee securities, and other publicly available data. The current global economic climate provides additional uncertainty. Valuations of private companies are inherently more difficult due to the lack of readily available market data. As such, the Company believes that providing information regarding market sensitivities is not practicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of ~~December 29, 2013.~~March 30, 2014. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~December 29, 2013.~~March 30, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the Company’s evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the quarter ended ~~December 29, 2013,~~March 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings

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 ("CUTPA") 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 December 23, 2011, plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal seeking to dismiss the entire action without prejudice. The court entered an Order on November 28, 2012, dismissing the case in its entirety. This case was subsequently refiled in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut.

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 "Consolidated Action"). A consolidated amended complaint was filed by plaintiffs on September 7, 2012, purporting to assert claims substantially similar to those originally asserted. The Company moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on December 7, 2012, which was subsequently refiled at the direction of the Court on January 16, 2013.

On December 5, 2012, the same plaintiff from the action voluntarily dismissed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut naming the Company and numerous other parties as defendants, purporting to assert claims substantially similar to those asserted in the consolidated amended complaint (the “Frank Action”). On January 23, 2013, plaintiffs in the Consolidated Action filed a motion to transfer and consolidate the action filed on December 5, 2012 with the Consolidated Action. The Company intends to defend each of these actions vigorously.

On January 31, 2013, the court issued an order to show cause directing plaintiffs' counsel in the Frank Action, also counsel for plaintiffs in the Consolidated Action, to show cause why the Frank Action is distinguishable from the Consolidated Action such that it may be maintained despite the prior-pending action doctrine. On June 13, 2013, the court issued an order in the Frank Action suspending deadlines to answer or to otherwise respond to the complaint until 21 days after the court decides whether the Frank Action should be consolidated with the Consolidated Action. On July 24, 2013 the Frank Action was reassigned to Judge Vanessa Bryant, before whom the Consolidated Action is currently pending, for all further proceedings. On August 14, 2013, other defendants filed a motion for clarification in the Frank Action requesting that Judge Bryant clarify the order suspending deadlines.

~~There~~On March 28, 2014, the Court issued a series of rulings disposing of all the pending motions in both the Consolidated Action and the Frank Action. Among other things, the Court dismissed several causes of action, leaving pending a claim for CUTPA violations stemming from Trilegiant’s refund mitigation strategy and a claim for unjust enrichment. Thereafter, the Court consolidated the Frank case into the Consolidated Action. The time of the remaining defendants to answer what is left of the complaint has ~~been no ruling~~not yet expired and on ~~(1) plaintiff’s motion~~April 28, 2014 Plaintiffs moved for leave to ~~consolidate, (2)~~appeal the ~~order~~various rulings against them to ~~show cause, (3)~~ the ~~motion~~United States Court of Appeals for ~~clarification, or (4)~~ the ~~Company’s motion seeking~~Second Circuit and to ~~dismiss~~have a partial final judgment entered dismissing those claims that the ~~plaintiffs’ amended consolidated complaint. Oral argument thereon was held~~Court had ordered dismissed. The Court has not yet ruled on ~~September 25, 2013, but no ruling has yet been issued.~~this new motion.

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.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.

There were no material changes to the Company’s risk factors as discussed in Part 1, Item 1A-Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company has a stock repurchase plan through which purchases can be made from time to time in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions, subject to general market conditions. The repurchase program is financed utilizing available cash. In March 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an increase of $20 million to its stock repurchase plan. As of ~~December 29, 2013, $12.4~~March 30, 2014, $11.5 million remains authorized under the plan.

The following table sets forth, for the months indicated, the Company’s purchase of common stock during the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal 2014, which includes the period July 1, 2013 through ~~December 29, 2013:~~March 30, 2014:
