~~DESCRIPTION OF AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT BUSINESS SEGMENTS~~

~~We operate in three business segments~~–~~“Specialty Foods,” “Glassware and Candles” and “Automotive”~~–~~which accounted for approximately 60%, 18% and 21%, respectively, (percentages do not add~~Commission on August 28, 2007 (the “Original Filing”). This Amendment is being filed to ~~100% due to rounding) of consolidated net sales for~~amend the year ended June 30, 2006. The financial information relating to business segments for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006 is included in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, which is included incover page, Part II Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, and the Index to Exhibits of ~~this Form 10-K. Further description of each business segment within~~the Original Filing to include inadvertently omitted table headings, which ~~we operate is provided below:~~

~~Specialty Foods~~

~~The food products we manufacture and sell include salad dressings and sauces marketed under~~should have been placed above the brand names “Marzetti,” “T. Marzetti,” “T. Marzetti’s,” “Cardini’s,” “Pfeiffer” and “Girard’s”; fruit glazes, vegetable dips and fruit dips marketed under the brand name “T. Marzetti’s”; frozen hearth-baked breads marketed under the brand names “New York Brand” and “Mamma Bella”; frozen Parkerhouse style yeast dinner rolls and sweet rolls marketed under the brand name “Sister Schubert’s”; premium dry egg noodles marketed under the brand names “Inn Maid” and “Amish Kitchen”; frozen specialty noodles and pastas marketed under the brand names “Reames” and “Aunt Vi’s”; croutons and related products marketed under the brand names “Chatham Village,” “Cardini’s” and “T. Marzetti’s” and caviar marketed under the brand name “Romanoff.” A portion of our sales in this segment is sold under private label to retailers, distributors and restaurants primarilyfiscal 2006 information in the ~~United States. Additionally, a portion of our sales relates to frozen specialty noodles and pastas sold to industrial customers for use as ingredients in their products.~~

A significant portion of this segment’s product lines is manufactured at our 13 plants located throughout the United States. Certain items are manufactured and packaged by third parties located in the United States, Canada and England under contractual agreements established by us.

The dressings, sauces, croutons, fruit glazes, vegetable dips, fruit dips, frozen hearth-baked breads and yeast rolls are sold primarily through sales personnel, food brokers and distributors in various metropolitan areas in the United States with sales being made to retail, club stores and foodservice markets.

~~The dry egg noodles and frozen specialty noodles are sold through sales personnel, food brokers and distributors to retail markets principally in the central and midwestern United States.~~

Sales attributable to one customer comprised approximately 12%, 11% and 10% of this segment’s total net sales in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of this segment’s total net sales. Although we have the leading market share in several product categories, all of the

~~markets in which we sell food products are highly competitive in the areas of price, quality and customer service.~~

The operations of this segment are not affected to any material extent by seasonal fluctuations. We do not utilize any franchises or concessions in this business segment. The trademarks that we utilize are significantSelected Quarterly Financial Data table within Note 19 to the ~~overall success of this segment. The patents and licenses under which we operate, however, are not essential to the overall success of this segment.~~Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~Glassware and Candles~~

Candles, candle accessories, and other home fragrance products in a variety of sizes, forms and fragrance are sold to the mass merchandise markets as well as to supermarkets, drug stores and specialty shops under the “Candle-lite” brand name. A portion of our candle business is marketed under private label.

Glass products include a broad range of machine-blown and pressed consumer glassware and industrial glass products such as security and interior warehouse lighting components, cathode ray tubes and lenses.

Consumer glassware includes a diverse line of decorative and ornamental products such as tumblers, bowls, pitchers, jars, barware, and candle accessories. These products are marketed under a variety of trademarks, the most important of which are “Indiana Glass,” “Colony” and “Fostoria.”

~~Glass vases and containers are sold to both the retail and wholesale floral markets under the brand names “Brody” and “Indiana Glass” as well as to mass merchants and specialty craft stores.~~

Our glass products are sold to mass merchants, department stores, drug stores and specialty shops, as well as to wholesalers. Commercial markets such as foodservice, hotels, hospitals and schools are also served by this segment’s products.

All the markets in which we sell houseware products are highly competitive in the areas of design, price, quality and customer service. Sales attributable to one customer comprised approximately 30%, 31% and 26% of this segment’s total net sales in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of this segment’s total net sales.

Seasonal retail stocking patterns cause certain of this segment’s products to experience increased sales in the first half of the fiscal year. We do not use any franchises or concessions in this segment. The patents and licenses under which we operate are not essential to the overall success of this segment. Certain trademarks, however, are important to this segment’s marketing efforts.

~~Automotive~~

We manufacture and sell a complete line of rubber, vinyl and carpeted floor mats to both original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket retailers. Other products include pickup truck bed mats; running boards; tube steps; toolboxes and other accessories for pickup trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles; and heavy-duty truck and trailer splash guards and quarter fenders. The automotive aftermarket products are marketed primarily through mass merchandisers and automotive outlets. Floor mats are marketed under the brand name “Rubber Queen,” bed mats under the “Protecta” trademark, and aluminum accessories and running boards under the “Dee Zee” brand name. These products are also subject to marketing under private labels. The aggregate sales to three customers, each with sales greater than 10% of total segment sales, accounted for approximately 45% of this segment’s total net sales during 2006. In 2005, two customers, each with sales greater than 10% of total segment sales, accounted for approximately 24% of this segment’s total net sales. In 2004, three customers, each with sales greater than 10% of total segment sales, accounted for 31% of this segment’s total net sales. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of this segment’s total net sales. Although we are a market leader in many of our product lines, all the markets in which we sell automotive products are highly competitive in the areas of design, price, quality and customer service.

The operations of this segment are not affected to any material extent by seasonal fluctuations. We do not utilize any significant franchises or concessions in this segment. The patents and licenses under which we operate are generally not essential to the overall success of this segment. Certain trademarks, however, are valuable to the segment’s marketing efforts.

~~NET SALES BY CLASS OF PRODUCTS~~

The following table sets forth business segment information with respect to the percentage of net sales contributed by each class of similar products that account for at least 10% of our consolidated net sales in any year from 2004 through 2006:

2006 2005 2004
Specialty Foods:
Retail 32 % 30 % 30 %
Foodservice 28 % 29 % 28 %
Glassware and Candles:
Consumer Table and Giftware 15 % 17 % 17 %
Automotive:
Original Equipment Manufacturers 16 % 13 % 14 %

~~Net sales attributable to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Wal-Mart”) totaled approximately 13%, 13% and 12% of consolidated net sales for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.~~

~~RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT~~

~~The estimated amount spent during each of the last three years on research and development activities determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is not considered material.~~

~~BACKLOG~~

The nature of our backlog varies by segment. Orders in our Specialty Foods segment are generally filled in three to seven days following the receipt of the order. In our Glassware and Candles segment, certain orders are received in a highly seasonal manner, and the timing of the receipt of several large customer orders can materially impact the amount of the backlog at any point in time without being an indication of longer-term sales. In the aftermarket sector of our Automotive segment, orders are generally filled within four to six weeks following the receipt of the order. In our Automotive segment, orders from original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) are generally filled within four to eight weeks. Also, our Automotive segment backlog is impacted by general market conditions in the automobile industry and is subject to general economic conditions and changes in consumer demand. Due to these variables, we do not view the amount of backlog at any particular point in time as a meaningful indicator of longer-term shipments.

~~ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS~~

Certain of our operations are subject to various Federal, state and local environmental protection laws. Based upon available information, compliance with these laws and regulations is not expected to have a material adverse effect upon the level of capital expenditures, earnings or our competitive position for the remainder of the current and succeeding year.

~~EMPLOYEES AND LABOR RELATIONS~~

As of June 30, 2006, we had approximately 5,600 employees. Approximately 27% of these employees are represented under various collective bargaining agreements, which expire at various times through June 2010. A collective bargaining agreement within our Automotive segment expired in May 2006 and remains subject to further negotiation. While we believe that labor relations with unionized employees are good, a prolonged labor dispute could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

~~FOREIGN OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES~~

~~Foreign operations and export sales have not been significant in the past and are not expected to be significant in the future based upon existing operations.~~

~~RAW MATERIALS~~

During 2006, we obtained adequate supplies of raw materials for all of the segments. We rely on a variety of raw materials for the day-to-day production of our products, including the following: soybean oil,

certain dairy-related products, flour, fragrances and colorant agents, soda ash, sand, paraffin wax, plastic and paper packaging materials, plastics, resins, synthetic rubbers, rubber friction and compound, aluminum and steel.

We purchase the majority of these materials on the open market to meet current requirements, but we also have some longer-term fixed-price contracts. See further discussion in our contractual obligations disclosure in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Although the availability of certain of these materials has become more influenced by the level of global demand, we anticipate that future sources of supply will generally be adequate for our needs.

~~Item 1A.~~~~Risk Factors~~

An investment in our common stock is subject to certain risks inherent in our business. The material risks and uncertainties that we believe affect us are described below. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference into this annual report on Form 10-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are not aware of or focused on or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.

If any of the following risks occur, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of our common stock could decline significantly.

~~Competitive conditions within our markets could impact our sales volumes and operating margins.~~

Competition within all our markets is intense and is expected to remain so. Numerous competitors exist, many of which are larger in size than we are. Global production overcapacity has also had an impact on our nonfood operations, particularly within our Glassware and Candles segment. These competitive conditions could lead to significant downward pressure on the prices of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and profitability.

Competitive considerations in the various product categories in which we sell are multifaceted and include price, product innovation, product quality, brand recognition and loyalty, effectiveness of marketing, promotional activity and the ability to identify and satisfy consumer preferences. In order to protect existing market share or capture increased market share among our retail channels, we may decide to increase our spending on marketing, advertising and new product innovation. The success of marketing, advertising and new product innovation is subject to risks, including uncertainties about trade and consumer acceptance. As a result ~~any increased expenditures we make may~~of this Amendment, the management certifications and auditor consent filed as exhibits to the Original Filing have been re-executed and re-filed as of the date of this Amendment.

Except as described above, this Amendment does not ~~maintain~~modify or ~~enhance market share~~update other disclosures in, or exhibits to, the Original Filing, and ~~could result in lower profitability.~~

~~Wal-Mart is our largest customer, and the loss of its business could cause our sales and net income to decrease.~~

Our net sales to Wal-Mart represented approximately 13% of consolidated net sales for the year ended June 30, 2006. We believe that our relationship with Wal-Mart is good, but we cannot assure that we will be able to maintain this relationship. The loss of,those unaffected parts or ~~a significant reduction~~exhibits are not included in this business could have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability. Unfavorable changes in Wal-Mart’s financial condition could also have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

~~Increases in the costs or limitations to the availability of raw materials we use to produce our products could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs to produce goods.~~

We purchase a majority of our key raw materials on the open market. Our ability to avoid the adverse effects of a pronounced, sustained price increase in our raw materials is limited. However, we try to limit our exposure to price fluctuations for raw materials by occasionally entering into longer-term, fixed-price contracts for certain raw materials. Our principal raw-material needs include soybean oil, various dairy-related products, flour, paper and plastic packaging materials, paraffin wax, synthetic rubber, resins, steel and aluminum. We have observed increased pricing on many of these raw materials in recent years. We anticipate that future sources of supply will generally be adequate for our needs, but disruptions in

~~availability and increased prices could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.~~

~~We may be subject to product recalls or product liability claims for misbranded, adulterated, contaminated or spoiled food products or defective consumer products.~~

Under adverse circumstances, we may need to recall some of our products if they become adulterated, misbranded, contaminated, or contain a defect, which could create a substantial product hazard or create an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death, and we may also be liable if the consumption of any of our products causes injury.

Any claim or product recall could result in noncompliance with regulations of the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, force us to stop selling our products and create significant adverse publicity that could harm our credibility and decrease market acceptance of our products.

If we are required to defend against a product liability claim, whether or not we are found liable under the claim, we could incur substantial costs, our reputation could suffer and our customers might substantially reduce their existing or future orders from us.

~~Increases in energy-related costs could negatively affect our business by increasing our costs to produce goods.~~

Recently, we have been subject to unfavorable changes in energy-related costs that affect the cost of producing our products. This is especially true in our Glassware and Candles segment, where we use large amounts of natural gas and paraffin wax, and in our Automotive segment, where we use synthetic rubber and various resins. High energy costs, like those we experienced in the first half of fiscal 2006, increase our costs to produce goods and decrease our operating margins. Continuing increases in these types of costs could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The availability and cost of transportation for our products is vital to our success, and the loss of availability or increase in the cost of transportation could have an unfavorable impact on our business and results of operations.

Our ability to obtain adequate and reasonably priced methods of transportation to distribute our products is a key factor to our success. Our Specialty Foods segment requires the use of refrigerated trailers to ship many of its products. Delays in transportation, especially in our Specialty Foods segment where orders are generally filled in three to seven days following the receipt of the order, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Further, high fuel costs also impact our financial results. We are often required to pay fuel surcharges to third-party transporters of our products. These fuel surcharges can be substantial and increase our cost of goods sold. If we are unable to pass those high costs to our customers in the form of price increases, those higher costs could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

~~Our inability to bring production online and efficiently operate our new salad dressing facility could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.~~

We have recently completed construction of a salad dressing facility in southern Kentucky. The failure to efficiently bring production online, employ an adequate number of skilled workers, or operate the facility in an efficient manner could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

~~Our inability to successfully renegotiate union contracts and any prolonged work stoppages could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.~~

Several of our union contracts will be subject to renegotiation during 2007. We believe that our labor relations with unionized employees are good, but our inability to successfully negotiate the renewal of these contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Any prolonged work stoppages could also have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

~~Any reduction of CDSOA distributions in the future would reduce our earnings.~~

The Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 (“CDSOA”) provides for the distribution of monies collected by U.S. Customs from antidumping cases to qualifying domestic producers. Our reported CDSOA receipts totaled $11.4 million, $26.2 million, and $2.0 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These remittances related to certain candles being imported from the People’s Republic of China. In February 2006, U.S. legislation was enacted that would end CDSOA distributions for imports covered by antidumping duty orders entering the U.S. after September 30, 2007. Instead, any such antidumping duties collected would remain with the U.S. Treasury. This legislation is not expected to have a significant effect on potential CDSOA distributions in 2007, but would be expected to reduce likely distributions in years beyond 2007, with distributions eventually ceasing. In July 2006, the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) ruled unconstitutional CDSOA’s requirement that a company that is not a petitioner must indicate its support for an antidumping petition in order to be eligible for a distribution. The CIT has not ruled on other matters, including any remedy as a result of its ruling. We expect that the ruling of the CIT will be appealed. In addition to the CIT ruling, there are a number of factors that can affect whether we receive any CDSOA distributions and the amount of such distributions in any year. These factors include, among other things, potential changes in the law, other ongoing or potential legal challenges to the law, the administrative operation of the law and the status of the underlying antidumping orders.

~~Impairment charges could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.~~

We recorded restructuring and/or impairment charges of approximately $0.6 million, $2.1 million, and $1.1 million in fiscals 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Likewise, future events may occur that would adversely affect the reported value of our assets and require impairment charges. Such events may include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to changes in economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our customer base, or a material adverse change in our relationship with significant customers.

~~We may not be able to successfully consummate proposed acquisitions or divestitures or integrate acquired businesses.~~

From time to time, we evaluate acquiring other businesses that would strategically fit within our various operations. If we are unable to consummate, successfully integrate and grow these acquisitions and to realize contemplated revenue synergies and cost savings, our financial results could be adversely affected. In addition, we may, from time to time, divest businesses that are less of a strategic fit within our portfolio or do not meet our growth or profitability targets. As a result, our profitability may be impacted by either gains or losses on the sales of those businesses or lost operating income or cash flows from those businesses. We may also not be able to divest businesses that are not core businesses or may not be able to do so on terms that are favorable to us. In addition, we may be required to incur asset impairment charges related to acquired or divested businesses, which may reduce our profitability and cash flows. These potential acquisitions or divestitures present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including diversion of management attention from existing businesses, difficulty with integrating or separating personnel and financial and other systems, increased expenses, assumption of unknown liabilities, indemnities and potential disputes with the buyers or sellers.

~~We are subject to federal, state and local government regulations that could adversely affect our business and results of operations.~~

Certain of our business operations are subject to regulation by various federal, state and local government entities and agencies. As a producer of food products for human consumption, our operations are subject to stringent production, packaging, quality, labeling and distribution standards, including regulations mandated by the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. We cannot predict if future regulation by various federal, state and local governmental entities and agencies would adversely affect our business and results of operations.

In addition, our business operations and the past and present ownership and operation of our properties are subject to extensive and changing federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations pertaining to the discharge of materials into the environment, the handling and disposition of wastes (including solid

and hazardous wastes) or otherwise relating to protection of the environment. We cannot assure that environmental issues relating to presently known matters or identified sites or to other matters or sites will not require additional, currently unanticipated investigation, assessment or expenditures.

~~Item 7.~~~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

~~OVERVIEW~~

We are a diversified manufacturer and marketer of consumer products including specialty foods for the retail and foodservice markets; glassware and candles for the retail, floral, industrial and foodservice markets; and automotive accessories for the original equipment market and aftermarket.Amendment.

This ~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) describes the matters that we consider~~Amendment continues to ~~be important in understanding the results of our operations for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006 and our liquidity and capital resources~~speak as of June 30, 2006 and 2005. Our fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. Unless otherwise noted, references to “year” pertain to our fiscal year; for example, 2006 refers to fiscal 2006, which is the period from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006. In the discussion that follows, we analyze the results of our operations for the last three years, including the trends in the overall business, followed by a discussion of our cash flows and liquidity and contractual obligations. We then provide a review of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we have made which we believe are most important to an understanding of our MD&A and our consolidated financial statements. We conclude our MD&A with information on recently issued accounting pronouncements.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the “Selected Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, all included elsewhere herein. The forward-looking statements in this section and other parts of this document involve risks and uncertainties including statements regarding our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, and financial performance. Our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of factors set forth under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements.”

In April 2006, we announced that we are exploring strategic alternatives, including potential divestitures, among our nonfood operations. This process is ongoing with the assistance of outside financial advisors, but there is no assurance that any specific transaction will result nor as to any terms or timing thereof. We do not expect to provide updates on this process except as necessary to meet regulatory disclosure requirements.

Throughout most of the third quarter of 2006, our Oklahoma glassware facility had a planned temporary idling of most production activities that resulted in over $3 million of unabsorbed pretax costs being incurred. While this idling had a significant impact on the Glassware and Candles segment’s financial results for the quarter, we were able to significantly reduce our glassware inventories as a result.

On November 21, 2005, the Board voted to increase the regular quarterly cash dividend to $.26 per common share from the first quarter dividend of $.25 per common share. The Board also approved a special cash dividend of $2.00 per common share at that time. The Board later approved regular quarterly cash dividends of $.26 per common share each for the third and fourth quarters of 2006. Total dividends paid for the year were $101.8 million.

We recorded other income for proceeds received from the CDSOA for the year ended June 30, 2006 of $11.4 million compared to $26.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 and $2.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2004. This income represents distributions we received from the U.S. government under CDSOA. CDSOA, which applies to our candle operations, is intended to redress unfair dumping of imported products through cash payments to eligible affected companies. Such payments are in part dependent upon the amount of antidumping duties collected by the U.S. government on those products. The World Trade Organization has previously ruled that such payments are inconsistent with international trade rules. In February 2006, legislation was enacted to repeal the applicability of CDSOA to duties collected on imported products entered into the United States after September 2007. In July 2006, the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) ruled unconstitutional CDSOA’s requirement that a company that is not a petitioner must indicate its support for an antidumping petition in order to be eligible for a distribution. The CIT has not ruled on other matters, including any remedy as a result of its ruling. We expect that the ruling of the CIT will be appealed. While CDSOA continues to be in effect in the United States at this time, uncertainties associated with this program leave us unable to predict the amounts, if any, we may be entitled to receive in the future.

On July 1, 2005, we sold our indirect subsidiary, Colony Printing & Labeling, for net proceeds of approximately $0.5 million. The loss recorded on the sale was approximately $0.2 million. Colony Printing & Labeling was part of our Glassware and Candles segment and was not deemed material for presentation as a discontinued operation.

~~Forward-Looking Statements~~

We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”). This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the PSLRA and other applicable securities laws. Such statements can be identified by the use of the forward-looking words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “hope,” or similar words. These statements discuss future expectations; contain projections regarding future developments, operations or financial conditions; or state other forward-looking information. Such statements are based upon assumptions and assessments made by us in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors we believe to be appropriate. These forward-looking statements involve various important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ as a result of factors over which we have no, or limited, control including the strength of the economy, slower than anticipated sales growth, the extent of operational efficiencies achieved, the success of new product introductions, price and product competition, and increases in energy and raw-material costs. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements that are based on current expectations. We undertake no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements.

~~Specific influences relating to these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:~~

	•		~~the potential for loss of larger programs or key customer relationships;~~

	•		~~the effect of consolidation of customers within key market channels;~~

	•		~~the continued solvency of key customers;~~

~~Summary of Results~~

~~The following is an overview of our consolidated results for the year ended June 30, 2006.~~

Net sales for the year ended June 30, 2006 increased 4% to $1,175 million from the prior-year total of $1,131 million. This sales growth was driven by increased sales in the Specialty Foods and Automotive segments. Gross margin declined 2% to $214.4 million from the prior-year comparable total of $219.5 million as influenced by factors such as higher freight and energy costs, as well as higher raw-material costs in the nonfood segments. In the third quarter of 2006, we also incurred significant costs associated with the temporary idling of most production activities at our Sapulpa, Oklahoma glassware manufacturing facility in the Glassware and Candles segment.

With respect to the higher costs we experienced for freight, many nonfood raw materials and energy, we were able to implement a limited number of price increases and are striving to implement additional selected price increases to reduce the impact of these higher costs. We are also working to otherwise mitigate the impact of these increased costs, including changing various manufacturing processes, but these efforts may lag the adverse effect of the higher costs. Overall results were also affected by the funds received under CDSOA. In 2006, we received $11.4 million under CDSOA, as compared to $26.2 million in 2005 and $2.0 million in 2004. Net income for the current year was $83.0 million or $2.48 per diluted share, compared to $93.1 million or $2.67 per diluted share in the prior year. We were able to maintain a strong balance sheet with no debt throughout 2006.

~~REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS~~

18.2 % 19.4 % 20.4 %

Consolidated net sales reached $1,175 million during 2006, increasing 4% as compared to prior-year sales of $1,131 million, with growth coming from the Specialty Foods and Automotive segments. In the Specialty Foods segment, the 2006 increase in sales reflected internal growth, particularly in refrigerated dressings and frozen breads and rolls, while the 2005 sales increase was impacted by a 2004 business acquisition that contributed approximately $9 million growth. In our nonfood segments, Automotive growth was largely driven by increased sales of aluminum accessories, while competitive market conditions contributed to lower sales in the Glassware and Candles segment.

Our gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 18.2% in 2006 compared with 19.4% in 2005 and 20.4% in 2004. Higher levels of freight, energy and nonfood raw-material costs were prevalent throughout 2006. A significant influence affecting the 2005 over 2004 decline was the presence of increasing nonfood raw-material costs and our limited ability to obtain much cost recovery through higher pricing of our products.

~~Selling, General and Administrative Expenses~~

Year Ended
June 30 Change
(Dollars in thousands) 2006 2005 2004 2006 vs. 2005 2005 vs. 2004

SG&A Expense as a Percent of Sales
8.5 % 8.8 % 8.9 %

Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2006 totaled $100.3 million and increased 1%, as compared with the 2005 total of $99.4 million, while the 2005 total had increased 2% from the 2004 total of $97.9 million. Included in these totals were recoveries of bad debt associated with the 2002 bankruptcy filing of Kmart Corporation totaling $1.2 million, $1.5 million and $1.8 million, for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We wrote off approximately $14.3 million related to this bankruptcy in 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses were relatively stable as a percentage of sales for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

~~Restructuring and Impairment Charge~~

In the third quarter of 2006, we recorded a noncash impairment charge of $0.6 million ($0.4 million after taxes) related to certain automotive manufacturing equipment. This impairment occurred due to the idling of the equipment that was used for a specific product that is no longer being produced.

In the third quarter of 2005, we recorded a noncash impairment charge of $1.6 million ($1.0 million after taxes) relating to certain equipment in two of our business segments. Approximately $0.9 million of the charge related to the impairment of glassware-manufacturing equipment in our Glassware and Candles segment. Approximately $0.7 million of the charge related to the impairment of certain idle manufacturing equipment in our Automotive segment. These impairments occurred due to inefficient production and a slowdown in demand for certain products associated with this equipment.

In the fourth quarter of 2004, we recorded a restructuring and impairment charge of approximately $1.1 million ($0.7 million after taxes) for costs incurred as of June 30, 2004 related to the closing of our automotive floor mat manufacturing facility located in Waycross, Georgia. Manufacturing effectively ceased as of June 30, 2004. The decision to close the plant was brought on by a decline in demand for compression molded rubber floor mats that resulted in excess segment capacity. The 2004 cash costs associated with this closure totaled approximately $0.3 million and included termination benefits and other closing costs, such as costs to remove and relocate certain equipment, costs to prepare the building for sale, and various other charges. Approximately $0.8 million of the 2004 restructuring and impairment charge related to this facility’s impairment of property, plant and equipment. During 2005, we recorded an additional restructuring and impairment charge of $0.5 million ($0.3 million after taxes) for costs incurred during that period. The majority of this charge resulted in cash outlays and consisted of other closing costs, such as costs to maintain the building and various other charges. During 2006, both the new costs incurred and the cash outlays made for the required upkeep of the facility were immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

~~An analysis of our Waycross restructuring activity and the related liability within the Automotive segment is as follows (in thousands):~~

Accrual Accrual Accrual

Due to the factors discussed above, consolidated operating income for 2006 totaled $113.5 million, a 4% decrease from 2005 operating income of $117.9 million. The 2005 total had decreased 5% from 2004 operating income totaling $124.7 million. See further discussion of operating results by segment following the discussion of “Net Income per Common Share” below.

~~Other Income (Expense)~~

In November 2005 and December 2004 and 2003, we received approximately $11.4 million, $26.2 million, and $2.0 million, respectively, from the U.S. government under CDSOA. These amounts were recorded within the accompanying financial statements as other income. CDSOA, which applies to our candle operations, is intended to redress the unfair dumping of imported products through annual cash payments to eligible affected companies. Such payments are in part dependent upon the amount of antidumping duties collected on those products. The World Trade Organization has previously ruled that such payments are inconsistent with international trade rules. In February 2006, legislation was enacted to repeal the applicability of CDSOA to duties collected on imported products entered into the United States after September 2007. In July 2006, the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) ruled unconstitutional CDSOA’s requirement that a company that is not a petitioner must indicate its support for an antidumping petition in order to be eligible for a distribution. The CIT has not ruled on other matters, including any

remedy as a result of its ruling. We expect that the ruling of the CIT will be appealed. While CDSOA continues to be in effect in the United States at this time, uncertainties associated with this program leave us unable to predict the amounts, if any, we may be entitled to receive in the future.

~~Income Before Income Taxes~~

As affected by the factors discussed above, our income before income taxes for 2006 of $128.8 million decreased 13% from the 2005 total of $148.0 million. The 2004 total income before tax was $128.5 million. Our effective tax rate was 35.6%, 37.1% and 37.7% in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in the 2006 effective rate was influenced by changes in state tax laws within Ohio, an increased deduction for dividends paid to the ESOP Plan due to the $2.00 per share special dividend paid in December 2005, and the new federal deduction created by the American Jobs Creation Act related to domestic manufacturing activities. The decline in the 2005 rate was influenced by an increase in tax-free interest income and a 2005 change in state tax laws within Ohio.

~~Net Income per Common Share~~

Diluted earnings per share for 2006 totaled $2.48, a 7% decrease from the prior-year total of $2.67. The latter amount was 19% more than 2004 diluted earnings per share of $2.24. Earnings per share in each of the last three years has been beneficially affected by share repurchases, which have totaled approximately $157.7 million over the three-year period ended June 30, 2006.

~~SEGMENT REVIEW – SPECIALTY FOODS~~

Record net sales were again achieved by the Specialty Foods segment during 2006, and operating income of $113.8 million increased 2% from the 2005 level of $111.4 million, as the benefits from the higher sales volumes and relatively stable ingredient costs were somewhat offset by higher freight and energy costs. Net sales during 2006 totaled $708.0 million, a 5% increase over the prior-year total of $673.8 million. Sales for 2005 increased 5% over the 2004 total of $639.2 million. The percentage of retail customer sales was approximately 53% during 2006 compared to 51% in 2005 and 2004.

The sales increase experienced in 2006 resulted from internally generated growth. Most of this growth was volume-driven, although a limited level of increased pricing on retail product was implemented, which largely benefited the second half of the fiscal year. Among retail products, the growth was primarily in refrigerated produce dressings (with new packaging and flavors introduced in 2005), produce dips, and frozen breads and rolls. The segment’s sales for 2005 and 2004 benefited from incremental sales totaling approximately $9.0 million in each year attributable to a December 2003 acquisition. The level of foodservice sales in 2006 and 2005 benefited from the growth in several frozen products, with 2005 sales also reflecting the influence of the 2004 acquisition.

The Specialty Foods segment operating income in 2006 totaled $113.8 million, a 2% increase from the 2005 total of $111.4 million. The 2005 level was 2% above the 2004 level of $109.4 million. In 2006, the benefits from the higher sales volumes, a more favorable sales mix and relatively stable ingredient costs were somewhat offset by higher freight and energy costs. The increase in 2005’s operating income was influenced by higher sales volume and modestly lower raw-material costs incurred during the year, although the segment also experienced increased freight and promotional costs during this period. Entering 2007, we currently anticipate that certain key commodity costs may become somewhat unfavorable in the first half of the year. Results for 2007 may also be influenced by the start-up of the segment’s new sauce and dressing production facility located in Kentucky.

~~SEGMENT REVIEW – GLASSWARE AND CANDLES~~

Net sales of the Glassware and Candles segment are comprised primarily of candles and related accessories. Segment sales during 2006 totaled $216.5 million and decreased 7% compared to 2005 net sales of $233.5 million. This decrease was largely attributable to lower candle sales resulting from generally soft market demand and competitive market conditions. Overall sales of glassware also declined. Compared to net sales in 2004 totaling $231.1 million, 2005 sales increased by 1%. Candle sales in 2005 grew primarily due to greater demand from existing customers, including placement in additional stores for which product

~~was not previously provided. Glassware sales declined on weakness in demand for household drinkware and tableware.~~

The segment’s operating income totaled $3.6 million during 2006, down from the prior year total of $7.2 million. Operating results in 2006 were adversely affected by the planned temporary idling of most production activities during much of the third quarter at our Sapulpa, Oklahoma glassware manufacturing facility. This idling was implemented to better balance existing inventory levels with anticipated demand. In addition to the impact of the planned idling, lower candle production levels and a trend of progressively higher paraffin-wax costs have also negatively impacted margins. These negatives were offset somewhat by benefits from better production efficiencies at our Oklahoma facility prior to the idling. Compared to 2004 operating income of $9.3 million, 2005 income decreased by 22%. The 2005 operating income included a noncash impairment charge of $0.9 million relating to the impairment of certain glassware-manufacturing equipment. Also affecting fluctuations between years was income associated with the liquidations of LIFO glassware inventory acquired at substantially lower costs in prior years. Such liquidations reduced cost of sales by an insignificant amount in 2006, $1.3 million in 2005 and $4.2 million in 2004. Other factors influencing 2005 results relative to 2004 were the benefits of higher levels of sales and plant utilization, as mitigated by issues of higher material and energy costs.

Future results will be sensitive to capacity utilization rates due to the high level of fixed manufacturing costs that exist in this segment. Future results in this segment may also be affected by the consequences of our ongoing review of strategic alternatives, including possible divestitures, with respect to our nonfood operations as announced in April 2006. We monitor our operations for indicators of impairment. To the extent such indicators are present, we evaluate the long-lived assets for recoverability. See further discussion in our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

~~SEGMENT REVIEW – AUTOMOTIVE~~

Net sales of the Automotive segment during 2006 totaled $250.7 million, a 12% increase from the prior-year sales level of $224.1 million. Improved sales of aluminum accessories drove the growth in this segment during 2006. A large, new original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) program involving aluminum tube steps began in the first quarter of 2006 and continued to ramp up through the remainder of the year. Sales in 2005 decreased 1% from the sales level of $226.6 million achieved in 2004. Our 2005 sales of aluminum accessories increased, primarily with OEMs, but those gains were not large enough to offset a decline in floor mat sales to OEMs. Floor mat sales were adversely affected by certain OEM programs that ended in the first half of 2005. This segment’s sales to OEMs are made both directly to the OEMs and, to a lesser extent, indirectly through third-party “Tier 1” suppliers. Such sales are sensitive to the overall rate of new vehicle sales, the availability of competitive alternatives and the Tier 1 suppliers’ ongoing ability to maintain their relationship with the OEMs. Additionally, the extent of pricing flexibility associated with these sales continues to be particularly limited with certain products subject to annual price reductions. During 2006, direct and indirect sales to OEMs comprised approximately 75% of this segment’s sales compared to approximately 65% and 66% in 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Operating income of the Automotive segment totaled $3.0 million for 2006, substantially lower than the prior-year total of $6.1 million. The segment incurred start-up costs associated with the new OEM program involving aluminum tube steps that started in the first quarter. In addition, higher raw-material costs, such as for aluminum, resins and carpet contributed to the decline. Floor mat operations experienced inefficiencies associated with new product launches, lower production levels of rubber floor mats and a less favorable sales mix. While the 2006 results included a noncash impairment charge of $0.6 million related to certain idle manufacturing equipment, they also were inclusive of a $0.8 million gain that resulted from the sale of idle real estate. Also affecting 2006 results was a charge of approximately $0.6 million related to the partial settlement of pension obligations. Compared to 2004 operating income of $12.0 million, 2005 income decreased by 49%. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher material costs. The 2005 operating income included a $0.7 million restructuring charge related to the impairment of certain idle manufacturing equipment. In 2004, a $1.1 million restructuring charge was recorded for the closure of the Waycross, Georgia floor mat facility, with additional related costs of $0.5 million being recorded in 2005. The charges in 2006 related to this closure have been insignificant.

Future results in this segment may also be affected by the consequences of our ongoing review of strategic alternatives, including possible divestitures, with respect to our nonfood operations as announced in April 2006.

~~LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES~~

The strength of our balance sheet at June 30, 2006 is reflected by the presence of approximately $41.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, along with $494.4 million in shareholders’ equity and no debt. We believe that this financial position provides us with substantial flexibility to consider business acquisitions, especially those that are complementary in function to that of our existing operations, evaluate share repurchase opportunities and otherwise meet ongoing liquidity requirements.

We maintain an unsecured revolving credit arrangement with several commercial banks totaling $100 million. Terms of the related agreement allow for borrowings to occur at or below the U.S. prime rate of interest. We also have an uncommitted line of credit for short-term borrowings from one bank for $25 million. We did not have any borrowings under either arrangement in the three years ending June 30, 2006. We believe that internally generated funds, the existing credit facilities and an ability to obtain additional financing, combined with the current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand, will be sufficient to meet operating requirements and fund future foreseeable capital needs.

~~Cash Flows~~

Year Ended
June 30 Change
(Dollars in thousands) 2006 2005 2004 2006 vs. 2005 2005 vs. 2004
Provided by Operating Activities $ 97,015 $ 116,677 $ 116,582 $ (19,662 ) (17 )% $ 95 0 %
Used in Investing Activities (25,395 ) (34,161 ) (50,190 ) 8,766 26 % 16,029 32 %
Used in Financing Activities (178,849 ) (82,467 ) (42,026 ) (96,382 ) (117 )% (40,441 ) (96 )%

Our cash flows for the years 2004 through 2006 are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flow generated from operations remains the primary source of financing for our internal growth. Cash provided from operating activities in 2006 totaled $97.0 million, a decrease of 17% as compared with the prior-year total of $116.7 million, which was flat, as compared to the 2004 total of $116.6 million. The 2006 decrease resulted mainly from the decline in net income, increased pension payments and relative changes in working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities during 2006 included capital expenditures totaling $62.0 million, compared to $22.7 million in 2005 and $18.2 million in 2004. The increase in capital expenditures primarily reflects the construction of a new salad dressing facility. It is anticipated that the new facility will become operational late in the first quarter of 2007. The increase in capital expenditures is offset somewhat by the relative change in net short-term investments. Capital spending allocations during 2006 by segment approximated 78% for Specialty Foods, 6% for Glassware and Candles and 16% for Automotive. Based on our current plans and expectations, we believe that total capital expenditures for 2007 could exceed $50 million, as we are planning the construction of a new frozen roll manufacturing facility to complement our existing operations.

~~During 2004, we acquired a food-related business for a final purchase price of approximately $21.1 million. A net asset adjustment of $492,000 was paid in October 2004.~~

Financing activities used net cash totaling $178.8 million, $82.5 million and $42.0 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in 2006 is primarily due to increased dividend payments and increased share repurchases. Total dividends paid during 2006 increased approximately $67.7 million as compared to the prior-year period due mainly to the payment of a special cash dividend of $2.00 per common share in the second quarter. The total payment for cash dividends for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $101.8 million. This amount includes the regular dividend payments of $.25 per common share for the first quarter and $.26 per common share for the second, third and fourth quarters and the second-quarter special cash dividend of $2.00 per common share. Excluding the special dividend, the dividend payout rate for 2006 was $1.03 per share as compared to $.98 per share during 2005 and $.89 per share in 2004. This past fiscal year marked the 43rd consecutive year in which our dividend rate was increased. Cash utilized for share repurchases totaled

$84.3 million, $56.7 million and $16.7 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our Board approved share repurchase authorizations of 2,000,000 shares each in May 2005 and 2006. Approximately 2,934,000 shares from these authorizations remained authorized for future purchase at June 30, 2006.

On February 13, 2006, pursuant to our previously announced share repurchase program, we purchased 100,000 shares of common stock from the Estate of Dorothy B. Fox (the “Estate”) at a price per share of $41.55, which was equal to the average closing price of our common stock over the eight trading days beginning February 1, 2006. Robert L. Fox, one of our Directors, serves as Executor of the Estate.

Previously, on March 9, 2005, pursuant to our previously announced share repurchase program, we had also purchased 230,000 shares of common stock from the Estate at a price per share of $42.634, which was equal to the average closing price of our common stock over the ten trading days beginning February 23, 2005, as adjusted to reflect the effects of our previously declared dividend.

The future levels of share repurchases and declared dividends are subject to the periodic review of our Board and are generally determined after an assessment is made of such factors as anticipated earnings levels, cash flow requirements and general business conditions.

Our ongoing business activities continue to be subject to compliance with various laws, rules and regulations as may be issued and enforced by various Federal, state and local agencies. With respect to environmental matters, costs are incurred pertaining to regulatory compliance and, upon occasion, remediation. Such costs have not been, and are not anticipated to become, material.

We are contingently liable with respect to lawsuits, taxes and various other matters that routinely arise in the normal course of business. Except as discussed above, we do not have any related party transactions that materially affect our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition.

~~OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS, CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS~~

We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “Variable Interest Entities” that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

We have various contractual obligations, which are appropriately recorded as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. Certain other items, such as purchase obligations, are not recognized as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. Examples of items not recognized as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements are commitments to purchase raw materials or inventory that has not yet been received as of June 30, 2006 and future minimum lease payments for the use of property and equipment under operating lease agreements.

~~The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2006 (in thousands):~~

Payment Due by Period

Contractual Obligations Total 1 Year 1-3 Years 3-5 Years 5 Years
Operating Lease Obligations (1) $ 16,009 $ 4,486 $ 7,405 $ 3,913 $ 205

~~(1)~~		~~Operating leases are primarily entered into for warehouse and office facilities and certain equipment. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.~~


~~(2)~~		~~Purchase obligations represent purchase orders and longer-term purchase arrangements related to the procurement of ingredients, supplies, raw materials, and property, plant and equipment.~~

~~(3)~~		This amount does not include $20.3 million of other noncurrent liabilities recorded on the balance sheet, which consist of the minimum pension liability, other post employment benefit obligations, and deferred compensation and interest on deferred compensation. These items are excluded, as it is not certain when these liabilities will become due. See Notes 10, 11 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

~~IMPACT OF INFLATION~~

Other than for food commodities, our raw-material costs during 2006 were generally above 2005 levels, which had also increased from costs present during 2004. Among raw materials most affected by these increases were certain metals, petroleum-derived materials and natural gas. Material cost increases especially affected the 2006 results of the Automotive segment. In 2005, food commodity costs, particularly for soybean oil and dairy-related products, were somewhat lower than 2004 levels. As we begin 2007, certain key food commodity costs may become somewhat unfavorable in the first half of the year, with many other nonfood raw-material and freight costs exceeding those of a year ago.

We generally attempt to adjust our selling prices to offset the effects of increased raw-material costs. However, these adjustments have historically been difficult to implement. If implemented, such adjustments tend to lag the increase in costs incurred. Minimizing the exposure to such increased costs is our diversity of operations and our ongoing efforts to achieve greater manufacturing and distribution efficiencies through the improvement of work processes.

~~CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES~~

MD&A discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the ~~consolidated financial statements~~Original Filing, and the ~~reported amounts of revenues and expenses during~~Company has not updated the ~~reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including, but not limited~~disclosure contained herein to those related to accounts receivable, inventories, marketing and distribution costs, asset impairments and self-insurance reserves. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factorsreflect events that ~~are believed to be reasonable under~~have occurred since the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Historically, the aggregate differences, if any, between our estimates and actual amounts in any year have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. While a summary of our significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, which is included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, we believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

~~Revenue Recognition~~

~~We recognize net sales and related cost of sales at the time of shipment~~filing of the products, or at the time when all substantial risks of ownership change, if later. Net sales are recorded net of estimated sales discounts, returns and certain sales incentives, including coupons and rebates.

~~Receivables and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts~~

We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of accounts receivable balances and historical write-off experience and on-going reviews of our trade receivables. Measurement of potential losses requires credit review of existing customer relationships, consideration of historical loss experience, including the need to adjust for current conditions, and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including present economic conditions such as delinquency rates and the economic health of customers. In addition to credit concerns, we also evaluate the adequacy of our allowances for customer deductions considering several factors including historical losses and existing customer relationships.Original Filing.

212

~~Long-Lived Assets~~PART II

We monitor the recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets by periodically considering whether or not indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, we determine if the assets are recoverable by comparing the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows to the assets’ carrying amount. Our cash flows are based on historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions. If the carrying amounts are greater, then the assets are not recoverable. In that instance, we compare the carrying amounts to the fair value to determine the amount of the impairment to be recorded.

~~Goodwill and Intangible Assets~~

Goodwill is not amortized. It is evaluated annually through asset impairment assessments as appropriate. Intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal, or other means are amortized over their useful lives. We periodically evaluate the future economic benefit of the recorded goodwill and intangible assets when events or circumstances indicate potential recoverability concerns. This evaluation is based on consideration of expected future undiscounted cash flows and other operating factors. Carrying amounts are adjusted appropriately when determined to have been impaired.

~~Valuation of Inventory~~

When necessary, we provide allowances to adjust the carrying value of our inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value, including any costs to sell or dispose. The determination of whether inventory items are slow moving, obsolete or in excess of needs requires estimates about the future demand for our products. The estimates as to future demand used in the valuation of inventory are subject to the ongoing success of our products. A decrease in product demand due to changing customer tastes, consumer buying patterns or loss of shelf space to competitors could significantly impact our evaluation of our excess and obsolete inventories. The valuation during interim periods of inventories determined under the LIFO method of accounting requires estimations regarding the year-end mix of inventory quantities and costs of product. Such estimates may differ from actual due to such factors as changes in customer demand and production schedules.

~~Accrued Marketing and Distribution~~

Various marketing programs are offered to customers to reimburse them for a portion or all of their promotional activities related to our products. Additionally, we often incur various costs associated with shipping products to the customer. We provide accruals for the costs of marketing and distribution based on historical information as may be modified by estimates of actual costs incurred. Actual costs may differ significantly if factors such as the level and success of the customers’ programs, changes in customer utilization practices, or other conditions differ from expectations.

~~Accruals for Self-Insurance~~

Self-insurance accruals are made for certain claims associated with employee health care, workers’ compensation and general liability insurance. These accruals include estimates that may be based on historical loss development factors. Differences in estimates and assumptions could result in an accrual requirement materially different from the calculated accrual.

~~Accounting for Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans~~

To determine our ultimate obligation under our defined benefit pension plans and our other postretirement benefit plans, we must estimate the future cost of benefits and attribute that cost to the time period during which each covered employee works. To record the related net assets and obligation of such benefit plans, we use assumptions related to inflation, investment returns, mortality, employee turnover, medical costs and discount rates. To determine the discount rate, we, along with our third-party actuaries, considered several factors, including the June 30, 2006 rates of various bond indices, such as the Moody’s Aa long-term bond index and the past history of discount rates used for the plan valuation. These assumptions follow the guidance provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions” and SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.” We, along with our third-party actuaries, review all of these assumptions on

an ongoing basis to ensure that the most reasonable information available is being considered. Changes in assumptions and future investment returns could potentially have a material impact on pension expense and related funding requirements.

~~RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS~~

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 is an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and it seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. In addition, FIN 48 requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes and is effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FIN 48 will have on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. We adopted FIN 47 as of June 30, 2006 and noted no material impact on our financial position or results of operations as a result of the adoption.

~~RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS~~

Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), using the modified prospective method, which requires the measurement and recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Prior to SFAS 123R, our stock-based compensation plan was accounted for under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. Under this guidance, because the exercise price of the stock options was at least equal to the market price of the underlying stock at the date of grant, no compensation expense was recognized in the financial statements.

Under the modified prospective method, we have not restated any prior period balance sheet or income statement items. Pro forma disclosure for these periods can be seen in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

Total compensation cost related to share-based payment arrangements for the year ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $0.4 million. This amount was reflected in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and has been allocated to each segment appropriately. There was no tax benefit recorded for this compensation cost because it related to incentive stock options that do not qualify for a tax deduction until, and only if, a disqualifying disposition occurs.

At June 30, 2006, there was less than $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 1995 Key Employee Stock Option Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

LANCASTER COLONY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular ~~dollars~~amounts in thousands, except share and per share ~~amounts)~~data)

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lancaster Colony Corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “registrant,” or the “Company.” All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The current- and prior-year results reflect the classification of the sold automotive operations as discontinued operations. See further discussion in Note 2. Our fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. Unless otherwise noted, references to “year” pertain to our fiscal year; for example, ~~2006~~2007 refers to fiscal ~~2006,~~2007, which is the period from July 1, ~~2005~~2006 to June 30, ~~2006.~~2007.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, net realizable value of inventories, useful lives for the calculation of depreciation and amortization, impairments of long-lived assets, accruals for marketing and merchandising programs, pension and postretirement assumptions, as well as expenses related to distribution and self-insurance accruals. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As a result of our cash management system, checks issued but not presented to the banks for payment may create negative book cash balances. Such negative balances are included in other accrued liabilities and totaled ~~$10.7~~approximately $5.4 million and ~~$7.3~~$10.7 million as of June 30, ~~2006~~2007 and ~~2005,~~2006, respectively.

Short-Term Investments

We account for our short-term investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Our short-term investments consist of auction rate securities and variable rate demand obligations classified as available-for-sale securities. Our short-term investments in these securities are recorded at cost, which approximates fair market value due to their variable interest rates, which typically reset every 7 to 35 days, and, despite the long-term nature of their stated contractual maturities, we generally have the ability to liquidate these securities in 35 days or less. Our intent is to hold these securities as liquid assets easily convertible to cash for applicable operational needs as they may arise.

Receivables and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical write-off experience and on-going reviews of our trade receivables. Measurement of potential losses requires credit review of existing customer relationships, consideration of historical effects of relevant observable data, including present economic conditions such as delinquency rates, and the economic health of customers.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and equivalents, short-term investments and trade accounts receivable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value. We place our cash and equivalents and short-term investments with institutions believed to be of high quality and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one institution or issuer. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is mitigated by ~~having a large and diverse customer base.~~

(Tabular ~~dollars~~amounts in thousands, except share and per share ~~amounts)~~data)

having a large and diverse customer base. However, see Note 18 with respect to our accounts receivable with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Purchases of property, plant and equipment included in accounts payable at June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were approximately $2.2 million, $1.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and these purchases have been excluded from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. ~~The 2004 amount was not material.~~ We use the straight-line method of computing depreciation for financial reporting purposes based on the estimated useful lives of the corresponding assets. Estimated useful lives for buildings and improvements range from two to forty-five years while machinery and equipment range from two to twenty years. For tax purposes, we generally compute depreciation using accelerated methods. See Note 1517 for discussions of recent asset impairments.

Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), as of July 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer being amortized. Intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal, or other means continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Also in accordance with SFAS ~~No.~~ 142, as of April 30, ~~2006~~2007 and ~~2005,~~2006, as appropriate, we completed asset impairment assessments, and such assessments indicated that there was no impairment. We periodically evaluate the future economic benefit of the recorded goodwill and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate potential recoverability concerns. This evaluation is based on consideration of expected future undiscounted cash flows and other operating factors. Carrying amounts are adjusted appropriately when determined to have been impaired. See further discussion and disclosure in Note 4.6.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize net sales and related cost of sales at the time of shipment of the products, or at the time when all substantial risks of ownership change, if later. Net sales are recorded net of estimated sales discounts, returns and certain sales incentives, including coupons and rebates.

Advertising Expense

We expense advertising as it is incurred. Advertising expense represents less than 1% of sales in each of the three years ended June 30, ~~2006.~~2007.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as sales, while the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans

~~In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued~~We account for our stock-based employee compensation plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based ~~Payment,”~~Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires the measurement and recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value

~~LANCASTER COLONY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES~~
~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)~~
~~(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)~~

~~Key Employee Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”), a stock-based compensation plan. See a complete discussion of the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R in Note 9.~~

The weighted average per share fair value of options granted during 2005 was $7.68 and was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used for options granted in 2005: risk-free interest rate of 3.47%; dividend yield of 2.41%; volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of 26.17%; and a weighted average expected option life of 3.2 years.

~~Under the modified prospective method, we have not restated any balance sheet or income statement items for any prior periods.~~ Had compensation cost for the 1995 Key Employee Stock Option Plan (“1995 Plan”) been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the 1995 Plan consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, our net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the ~~years~~year ended June ~~30:~~30, 2005:

2005 2004
Net income As reported $ 93,088 $ 80,002
Pro forma $ 90,984 $ 79,595
Earnings per Share:

	Pro forma	$	90,984
Net Income per Share:
Basic and Diluted	As reported	$	2.67
Basic and Diluted	Pro forma	$	2.61

Other Income

During the second quarter of ~~2006,~~2007, we received approximately ~~$11.4~~$0.7 million from the U.S. government under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 (“CDSOA”) compared to approximately $11.4 million received in the second quarter of 2006 and approximately $26.2 million received in the second quarter of ~~2005 and approximately $2.0 million received in the second quarter of 2004.~~2005. We recognize CDSOA-related income upon receiving notice from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security regarding its intent to remit a specific amount to us. These amounts are recorded as other income in the accompanying financial statements. See further discussion at Note ~~14.~~16.

Per Share Information

We account for earnings per share under SFAS No. ~~128.~~128, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents (stock options) outstanding during each period.

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which includes the dilutive potential common shares associated with outstanding stock options. There are no adjustments to net income necessary in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive income includes changes in equity that result from transactions and economic events from nonowner sources. Comprehensive income is composed of two subsets – net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Included in other comprehensive income (loss) are foreign currency translation adjustments for which there are no related income tax effects and a minimum pension liability adjustment which is recorded net of a related tax provision/(benefit) of approximately $1.4 million, $3.1 million, and $(2.8) million in 2007, 2006 and ~~$2.2 million in 2006,~~ 2005, ~~and 2004,~~ respectively. These adjustments, as well as the impact of the 2007 adoption of SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS 158”), shown net of tax benefit of $1.5 million, are accumulated within the Consolidated ~~Balance~~

pretax loss of $29.2 million, including the pretax loss on sale of $23.1 million, for the year ended June 30, 2007.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the financial results of these operations are reported separately as discontinued operations for all periods presented. (Loss) income from discontinued operations was approximately $(19.0) million, $(1.5) million and $2.3 million, net of tax, for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and included a net loss on the sale of these operations of approximately $15.1 million, net of tax of $8.0 million, in 2007.

At June 30, 2006, the assets and ~~2005,~~liabilities of discontinued operations included the following items:

Note 3 – Acquisitions

In June 2007, we acquired the principal assets of Marshall Biscuit Company, Inc. (“Marshall Biscuit”), a privately owned producer and marketer of frozen yeast rolls and biscuits based in Saraland, Alabama. Marshall Biscuit’s strength in the private-label channel complements our Sister Schubert’s branded rolls. Marshall Biscuit is reported in our Specialty Foods segment, and its results of operations have been included in our Consolidated Statement of Income since June 1, 2007.

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we acquired certain personal and real property including fixed assets, inventory and accounts receivable, and assumed certain liabilities. The purchase price was approximately $22.9 million, including a net asset adjustment of approximately $0.1 million as determined under the terms of the purchase agreement. This net asset adjustment is recorded in receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2007. As defined in the purchase agreement, there is a potential for future earn out payments of up to $2.0 million. These payments are based on future sales levels of certain Marshall Biscuit products during the three years from the date of acquisition and would be accounted for as additional purchase price and thus goodwill.

This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the noncash aspects have been excluded from the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The results of operations of this entity have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition and are immaterial in relation to the consolidated totals.

Note 4 – Short-Term Investments

We held no short-term investments at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2006, we held approximately $35.8 million ~~and $71.3 million, respectively, of~~in short-term investments, which ~~consist~~consisted of auction rate securities and variable rate demand obligations classified as available-for-sale ~~securities. See further discussion in Note 1.~~

~~Our June 30 short-term investments by~~securities and had contractual ~~maturity are as follows:~~

2006 2005
Due within one year $ — $ 3,300
Due between one and five years — 1,580
Due after ten years 35,765 66,435

Total short-term investments $ 35,765 $ 71,315

maturities of greater than 10 years. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities should the borrower have the right to call certain obligations.

We had no cumulative gross unrealized holding gains (losses) or gross realized gains (losses) from our short-term investments. All income generated from these short-term investments was recorded as interest income. ~~Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities should the borrower have the right to call certain obligations.~~

Note 35 – Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or ~~market. Inventories~~market and are costed by various methods that ~~comprise approximately 4% and 5% of total inventories at~~approximate actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. At June 30, ~~2006 and~~ 2005, ~~respectively, are~~certain inventories were costed on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. ~~Replacement cost for this inventory would have been higher by approximately $1.9 million and $2.1 million at June 30,~~During 2006 and 2005, ~~respectively. Inventories that are costed by various other methods approximate actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. During 2006, 2005 and 2004,~~ certain inventory quantity reductions resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory layers carried at lower costs that prevailed in prior years. The 2006 effect of the liquidations was insignificant. The 2005 ~~and 2004~~ effect of the liquidations was an increase in net earnings of approximately $0.8 million ~~and $2.6 million~~ after taxes, or approximately $.02 ~~and $.07~~ per ~~share, respectively.~~share.

It is not practicable to segregate work in process from finished goods inventories. We estimate, however, that work in process inventories amount to approximately ~~13%~~10% and ~~11%~~12% of the combined total of finished goods and work in process inventories at June 30, ~~2006~~2007 and ~~2005,~~2006, respectively.

Note 46 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill attributable to the Specialty Foods segment was approximately $89.6 million at June 30, 2007 and ~~Automotive segments is~~ $78.2 million at June 30, 2006. The increase in goodwill was due to the acquisition of Marshall Biscuit. See further discussion at Note 3. At June 30, 2006, the Automotive segment had a goodwill balance of $1.0 million. This goodwill was written off due to the sale of the related automotive businesses. See further discussion at Note 2.

Note 810 – Shareholders’ Equity

We are authorized to issue 3,050,000 shares of preferred stock consisting of 750,000 shares of Class A Participating Preferred Stock with $1.00 par value, 1,150,000 shares of Class B Voting Preferred Stock without par value and 1,150,000 shares of Class C Nonvoting Preferred Stock without par value.

As authorized by ~~the~~our Board of Directors (“Board”) in February 2000, each share of our outstanding common stock includes a non-detachable stock purchase right that provides, upon becoming exercisable, for the purchase of one-hundredth of a ~~share of~~ Series A Participating Preferred ~~Shares~~Share at an exercise price of $185, subject to certain adjustments. Alternatively, once exercisable, each right will also entitle the holder to buy shares of common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price. The rights may be exercised on or after the time when a person or group of persons without the approval of ~~the~~our Board acquire beneficial ownership of 15% or more of common stock or announce the initiation of a tender or exchange offer which, if successful, would cause such person or group to beneficially own 30% or more of the common stock. The person or group effecting such 15% acquisition or undertaking such tender offer will not be entitled to exercise any rights. If we are acquired in a merger or other business combination, each right will entitle the holder, other than the acquiring person, to purchase securities of the surviving company having a market value equal to twice the exercise price of the rights. Until the rights become exercisable, they may be redeemed at a price of $.01 per right. These rights expire in April 2010 unless earlier redeemed under circumstances permitted by the applicable Rights Agreement.

Our Board approved a share repurchase ~~authorizations~~authorization of 2,000,000 shares ~~each~~ in May ~~2005 and~~ 2006. Approximately ~~2,934,000~~1,345,000 shares remained authorized for future purchase at June 30, ~~2006.~~

On February 13, 2006, pursuant to our previously announced share repurchase program, we purchased 100,000 shares of common stock from the Estate of Dorothy B. Fox (the “Estate”) at a price per share of $41.55, which was equal to the average closing price of our common stock over the eight trading days beginning on February 1, 2006. Robert L. Fox, one of our Directors, serves as Executor of the Estate.

~~Previously, on~~On March 9, 2005, pursuant to our previously announced share repurchase program, we had also purchased 230,000 shares of common stock from the Estate at a price per share of $42.634, which was equal to the average closing price of our common stock over the ten trading days beginning February 23, 2005, as adjusted to reflect the effects of our previously declared dividend.

Note 911 – ~~Stock Options~~Stock-Based Compensation

As approved by ~~the~~our shareholders in November 1995, the terms of the 1995 Plan reserved 3,000,000 common shares for issuance to qualified key employees. All options granted under the 1995 Plan were exercisable at prices not less than fair market value as of the date of grant. The 1995 Plan expired in August 2005, but there are still options outstanding that were issued under this plan. In general, options granted under the 1995 Plan vested immediately and had a maximum term of five years. Our policy is to issue shares upon option exercise from new shares that had been previously authorized.

Our shareholders approved the adoption of a new equity compensation plan, the Lancaster Colony Corporation 2005 Stock Plan (the “2005 Plan”), at our 2005 Annual Meeting of ~~Shareholders, which was held on November 21, 2005.~~Shareholders. This new plan reserved 2,000,000 common shares for issuance to ~~key~~our employees and directors, and all options that will be granted under the plan will be exercisable at prices not less than fair market value as of the date of the grant.

~~No options have been granted under the 2005 Plan at June 30, 2006.~~Stock Options

Our investment strategy for our plan assets is to control and manage investment risk through diversification across asset classes and investment styles. By our current corporate guidelines, 50-85% of plan assets may be allocated to equity securities, 15-40% to debt securities and up to 35% to cash. We ~~currently do not expect to make substantial changes in total investment allocation from that of 2006. We~~ expect that a modest allocation to cash will exist within the plans, because each investment manager is likely to hold limited cash in a portfolio. Our plan assets include an investment in shares of our common stock with a market value of ~~$2.7~~approximately $2.9 million and ~~$3.0~~$2.7 million as of June 30, ~~2006~~2007 and ~~2005,~~2006, respectively.

Note 1113 – Postretirement Benefits

Postretirement Medical and Life Insurance Benefit Plans

We and certain of our operating subsidiaries provide multiple postretirement medical and life insurance benefit plans. We recognize the cost of benefits as the employees render service. Postretirement benefits are funded as incurred. We use a June 30 measurement date for all of our plans. At the end of the year, we discount our plan liabilities using an assumed discount rate. In estimating this rate, we, along with our third-party actuaries, review bond indices and the past history of discount rates.

Certain of our subsidiaries also participate in multiemployer plans that provide pension and postretirement health and welfare benefits to the union workers at such locations. The contributions required by our participation in the multi-employer plans totaled approximately $3.7 million in each of the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and ~~2005 and $3.8 million in 2004.~~

We also sponsored an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). Effective January 1, 1998, the ESOP was frozen and all benefit accruals under and further contributions to the ESOP ceased. All participants in the ESOP at that time were immediately 100% vested. We have no further obligation to the ESOP.2005.

We offer a deferred compensation plan for select employees who may elect to defer a certain percentage of annual compensation. We do not match any contributions. Each participant earns interest based upon the prime rate of interest, adjusted semi-annually, on their respective deferred compensation balance. Participants are paid out upon retirement or termination. Our liability for total deferred compensation and accrued interest was ~~$3.8~~approximately $2.0 million and ~~$3.6~~$3.8 million for the years ended June 30, ~~2006~~2007 and ~~2005,~~2006, respectively.

We received a distribution of approximately ~~$11.4~~$0.7 million from the U.S. government under CDSOA ~~compared to approximately $26.2 million received~~ in the second quarter of ~~2005~~2007, as compared to distributions of approximately $11.4 million and ~~approximately $2.0~~$26.2 million ~~received~~ in the ~~second quarter~~corresponding periods of ~~2004.

CDSOA, which applies to our candle operations, is intended to redress unfair dumping of imported products through cash payments to eligible affected companies. Such payments are in part dependent upon the amount of antidumping duties collected by the U.S. ~~Government~~government on those products. The World Trade Organization has previously ruled that such payments are inconsistent with international trade rules. In February 2006, legislation was enacted to repeal the applicability of CDSOA to duties collected on imported products entered into the United States after September 2007.

In September 2006, the CIT, ~~has not~~in a separate case, ruled the requirement unconstitutional on ~~other matters, including~~equal protection grounds; following a remand, the CIT issued a final judgment in July 2007 affirming the agencies’ decisions on remand.

Certain of our automotive accessory products carry explicit limited warranties that extend from 12twelve months to the life of the product, based on terms that are generally accepted in the marketplace. Our policy is to record a provision for the expected cost of the warranty-related claims at the time of the sale, and periodically adjust the provision to reflect actual experience. The amount of warranty liability accrued reflects our best estimate of the expected future cost of honoring our obligations under the warranty plans. The warranty accrual as of June 30, ~~2006~~2007 and ~~2005~~2006 is immaterial to our financial ~~condition,~~position, and the change in the accrual for ~~2006~~2007 is immaterial to our results of operations and cash flows.

Approximately 27% of our employees are represented under various collective bargaining agreements, which expire at various times through June 2010. A collective bargaining agreement within our Automotive segment expired in May 2006 and remains subject to further negotiation. While we believe that labor relations with unionized employees are good, a prolonged labor dispute could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Note 1517 – Restructuring and Impairment Charge

In ~~the third quarter of 2006,~~2007, we recorded a ~~noncash~~restructuring and impairment charge of ~~$0.6~~approximately $3.5 million ($~~0.4~~2.3 million after taxes) including $1.4 million recorded in cost of sales for the write-down of inventories. This charge is related to the planned closing of our industrial glass operations located in Lancaster, Ohio. The charge consists of asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation of certain ~~automotive~~property, plant and equipment, a pension curtailment charge, one-time termination benefits and other costs. Production at the manufacturing ~~equipment. This impairment occurred due to~~facility was largely phased out by May 31, 2007. We anticipate that active business operations will effectively cease by the ~~idling~~end of the ~~equipment, which was used for a specific product that~~calendar year upon the expected completion of certain sales and distribution activities. The decision to close this operation resulted from continuing declines in volume and profitability.

The total estimated costs associated with this plant closure are expected to be between $5 and $7 million and include the above-noted costs and other costs associated with disposal-related activities. Total remaining cash expenditures are estimated to be approximately $3 million and are expected to occur over the balance of calendar 2007.

In the third quarter of 2005, we recorded a noncash impairment charge of ~~$1.6~~approximately $0.9 million ($~~1.0~~0.6 million after taxes) ~~relating~~related to certain ~~equipment in two of our business segments. Approximately $0.9 million of the charge related to the~~glassware-manufacturing equipment. This impairment of glassware-manufacturing equipment in our Glassware and Candles segment. Approximately $0.7 million of the charge related to the impairment of certain idle manufacturing equipment in our Automotive segment. These impairments occurred due to inefficient production and a slowdown in demand for certain products associated with this equipment. We determined that an impairment existed based on a comparison of the sum of the related, estimated undiscounted future cash flows with the assets’ carrying amounts. We then compared the assets’ carrying amounts to their estimated fair value to determine the amount of impairment to be recorded utilizing market prices of similar equipment as applicable.

In the fourth quarter of 2004, we recorded a restructuring and impairment charge of approximately $1.1 million ($0.7 million after taxes) for costs incurred as of June 30, 2004 related to the closing of our automotive floor mat manufacturing facility located in Waycross, Georgia. Manufacturing effectively ceased as of June 30, 2004. Approximately 110 hourly and salary employees were impacted by this shutdown. The decision to close the plant was brought on by a decline in demand for compression molded rubber floor mats that resulted in excess segment capacity. The 2004 cash costs associated with this closure totaled approximately $0.3 million and included termination benefits and other closing costs, such as costs to remove and relocate certain equipment, costs to prepare the building for sale, and various other charges. Approximately $0.8 million of the 2004 restructuring and impairment charge related to this facility’s impairment of property, plant and equipment. During 2005, we recorded an additional restructuring and impairment charge of $0.5 million ($0.3 million after taxes) for costs incurred during that period. The majority of this charge resulted in cash outlays and consisted of other closing costs, such as costs to maintain the building and various other charges. During 2006, both the new costs incurred and the cash outlays made for the required upkeep of the facility were immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

~~Item 9.~~~~Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure~~

~~None~~

~~Item 9A.~~~~Controls and Procedures~~

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost–benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operating of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

~~REPORT OF MANAGEMENT~~

Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our 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 generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:

	1.		~~Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;~~

	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 our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and

	3.		~~Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of an unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.~~

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

~~Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled~~~~Internal Control – Integrated Framework~~published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the most recent year. Deloitte & Touche LLP has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

~~REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM~~

~~To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of~~
~~Lancaster Colony Corporation~~
~~Columbus, Ohio~~

~~We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying~~~~Report of Management~~~~, that Lancaster Colony Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, based on criteria established in~~~~Internal Control—Integrated Framework~~issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of 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, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, 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 by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable 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 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 the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
