PART II
Item 8.Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Lancaster Colony Corporation:
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lancaster Colony Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Table of Contents at Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lancaster Colony Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
     As discussed in Note 12 and Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, in 2007.
     We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, based on the criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated August 27, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

LANCASTER COLONY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share 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, 2007 refers to fiscal 2007, which is the period from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 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 approximately $5.4 million and $10.7 million as of June 30, 2007 and 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. 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. 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 17 for discussions of recent asset impairments.
Long-Lived Assets
     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. See Note 17 for discussion of recent asset impairments.
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 142, as of April 30, 2007 and 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 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, 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
     We account for our stock-based employee compensation plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based 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

(Tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
of the award. The cost of the employee services is recognized as compensation expense over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award, which is typically the vesting period.
     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.
     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 year ended June 30, 2005:
         
Net income As reported $93,088 
  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 2007, we received approximately $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. 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 16.
Per Share Information
     We account for earnings per share under SFAS No. 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 2005, 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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
     In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value in order to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This pronouncement is effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 159 will have on our financial position or results of operations.
     In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior-year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current-year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current-year financial statements are materially misstated. SAB 108 permits registrants to record the cumulative effect of initial adoption by recording the necessary adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings if material. We adopted SAB 108 as of June 30, 2007 and noted no material impact on our financial position or results of operations as a result of the adoption.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 157 will have on our financial position or results of operations.
     In June 2006, the 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, July 1, 2007. Upon adoption, we currently estimate that a cumulative after-tax effect adjustment of approximately $1.0 million to $2.0 million will be charged to retained earnings to increase our tax contingency reserves for uncertain tax positions. This estimate is subject to revision as we complete our analysis.
Note 2 – Discontinued Operations
     In June 2007, as part of our strategic alternative review of nonfood operations, we sold substantially all of the operating assets of our automotive accessory operations located in Coshocton, Ohio and LaGrange, Georgia. The cash transaction resulted in a pretax loss of approximately $24.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2007. Similarly, in March 2007, we sold substantially all of the operating assets of our automotive accessory operations located in Wapakoneta, Ohio. The cash transaction resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $1.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2007. The businesses included in both of these transactions were previously included in our Automotive segment and had net sales of $98.9 million and a

11

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
(Tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
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 liabilities of discontinued operations included the following items:
     
  June 30 
  2006 
Assets of Discontinued Operations
    
Receivables $17,462 
Inventories  13,210 
Other current assets  1,095 
    
Total current assets of discontinued operations  31,767 
Property, plant and equipment, net  8,920 
Other noncurrent assets  453 
    
Total noncurrent assets of discontinued operations  9,373 
    
Total assets of discontinued operations $41,140 
    
     
Current Liabilities of Discontinued Operations
    
Accounts payable $4,491 
Accrued liabilities  3,025 
    
Total current liabilities of discontinued operations $7,516 
    
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.

(Tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
     The following purchase price allocation is based on the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired:
     
Balance Sheet Captions Allocation 
Inventories $1,033 
Other Current Assets  11 
Property, Plant and Equipment  1,212 
Goodwill (tax deductible)  11,385 
Other Intangible Assets  9,260 
Current Liabilities  (25)
    
Total $22,876 
    
     The intangible assets listed in the allocation above consist of approximately $8.9 million of customer relationships and $0.4 million of non-compete agreements. The customer relationships have been assigned a useful life of 15 years. The non-compete agreements have been assigned a useful life of 5 years based on the terms of the non-compete agreement.
     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 in short-term investments, which consisted of auction rate securities and variable rate demand obligations classified as available-for-sale securities and had contractual 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.
Note 5 – Inventories
     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and are costed by various methods that approximate actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. At June 30, 2005, certain inventories were costed on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. During 2006 and 2005, 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 effect of the liquidations was an increase in net earnings of approximately $0.8 million after taxes, or approximately $.02 per 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 10% and 12% of the combined total of finished goods and work in process inventories at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Note 6 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
     Goodwill attributable to the Specialty Foods segment was approximately $89.6 million at June 30, 2007 and $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.

The amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $1.2 million for each of the next four years and approximately $1.1 million for the fifth year.
Note 7 – Short-Term Borrowings
     We may borrow up to $100 million under the terms of an unsecured revolving credit facility. The facility expires in February 2008 and contains certain representations, warranties, covenants and conditions customary to credit facilities of this nature. Under terms of the agreement, certain financial ratios influence the extent of the all-in borrowing costs, including interest and ongoing facility fees. At June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all provisions and covenants of the facility, and we had $42.5 million outstanding under the facility with a weighted average interest rate of 5.615%. We paid less than $0.1 million of interest for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Note 9 – Income Taxes
     We and our domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax return. Taxes based on income for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, have been provided as follows:
             
  2007  2006  2005 
Currently payable:            
Federal $39,073  $38,419  $47,411

Total taxes based on income $37,322  $46,253  $53,445 
          
     Certain tax benefits recorded directly to common stock totaled approximately $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, our effective tax rate varied from the statutory Federal income tax rate as a result of the following factors:
             
  2007 2006 2005
Statutory rate  35.0%  35.0%  35.0%
State and local income taxes  2.4%  2.5%  2.8%

     The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at June 30, 2007 and 2006 are comprised of:
         
  2007  2006 
Deferred tax assets:        
Inventories $4,731  $5,055 
Employee medical and other benefits  10,550   10,954

     Net current deferred tax assets totaled approximately $18.5 million and $19.0 million at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and were included in Deferred Income Taxes and Other Current Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Cash payments for income taxes were approximately $38.6 million, $47.0 million and $54.2 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
     Ohio corporate tax legislation enacted on June 30, 2005 phases out the Ohio Corporate Franchise Tax and phases in a new gross receipts tax called the Commercial Activity Tax. The Corporate Franchise Tax was generally based on federal taxable income, but the Commercial Activity Tax is based on sales in Ohio. As required by SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” we recorded the impact of the change in Ohio tax legislation in the fourth quarter of 2005. The effect of the change in the law was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.
     The American Jobs Creation Act provides a tax deduction calculated as a percentage of qualified income from manufacturing in the United States (“Section 199 Deduction”). The deduction percentage increases from 3% to 9% over a six-year period and began in 2006. We have recorded amounts for this deduction in 2006

and 2007. In accordance with FASB guidance, this deduction is treated as a special deduction, as opposed to a tax rate reduction.
Note 10 – 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 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 Series A Participating Preferred 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 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 authorization of 2,000,000 shares in May 2006. Approximately 1,345,000 shares remained authorized for future purchase at June 30, 2007. In August 2007, our Board approved an additional share repurchase authorization of 2,000,000 shares.
     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.
     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 11 – Stock-Based Compensation
     As approved by 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 ShareholdersShareholders. This new plan reserved 2,000,000 common shares for issuance to 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.
Stock Options
     Under SFAS 123R, we calculate fair value of option grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Total compensation cost related to share-based payment arrangements for the year ended June 30, 2007 was less than $0.1 million, as compared to approximately $0.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. These amounts were reflected in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and have been

allocated to each segment appropriately. No initial tax benefits are recorded for these compensation costs because they relate to incentive stock options that do not qualify for a tax deduction until, and only if, a disqualifying disposition occurs.
     During the year ended June 30, 2007, we received approximately $3.3 million in cash from the exercise of stock options, as compared to approximately $3.5 million in the prior year. The aggregate intrinsic value of option exercises was approximately $0.6 million and $1.0 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. A related tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million was recorded in 2007 and 2006, respectively. These tax benefits were included in the financing section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and resulted from incentive stock option disqualifying dispositions and exercises of non-qualified options. The benefits include less than $0.1 million of gross windfall tax benefits for the year ended June 30, 2007, as compared to approximately $0.1 million in the prior year.
     There were no grants of stock options in 2007 and 2006.
     The following summarizes for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007 the activity relating to stock options granted under the 1995 Plan mentioned above:

     The weighted average remaining contractual life was approximately 2.18 years and 2.17 years for the options outstanding and exercisable, respectively, at the end of the year. The aggregate intrinsic value was approximately $0.5 million for both the options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2007.

     At June 30, 2007, there was less than $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 1995 Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately .9 years.
Restricted Stock
     On November 20, 2006, we granted a total of 3,500 shares of restricted stock to our seven nonemployee directors under the terms of the 2005 Plan discussed above. The restricted stock had a grant date fair value of approximately $0.1 million based on a per share closing stock price of $42.70. This restricted stock vests over a one-year period, and all of these shares are expected to vest. Dividends earned on the stock are held November 21, 1994;in escrow and will be paid to the directors at the time the stock vests. Compensation expense related to the restricted stock award will be recognized over the requisite service period.

     At June 30, 2007, there is less than $0.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense that will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately .4 years.
Note 12 – Pension Benefits
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
     We and certain of our operating subsidiaries provide multiple defined benefit pension plans. Benefits under the plans are primarily based on negotiated rates and years of service and cover the union workers at such locations. We contribute to these plans at least the minimum amount required by regulation or contract. We recognize the cost of plan benefits as the employees render service. 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.

     The actuarial present value of benefit obligations summarized below was based on the following assumption:
         
  2007 2006
Weighted-average assumption as of June 30
        
Discount rate  6.35%  6.45%
     The net periodic benefit costs were determined utilizing the following beginning-of-the-year assumptions:

Discount rate  6.45%  5.25%  6.25%
Expected long-term return on plan assets  8.00%  8.00%  8.00%
     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 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 approximately $2.9 million and $2.7 million as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     The asset allocation for our plans at June 30 by asset category, is as follows:
         
  Percentage of
  Noncash Plan Assets
  at June 30
Asset Category 2007 2006
Equity securities  73%  79%
Fixed income  27%  21%
         
 
Total  100%  100%
         
     The expected return on plan assets is based on our historical experience, our plan investment guidelines, and our expectations for long-term rates of return. Our plan investment guidelines are established based upon an evaluation of market conditions, tolerance for risk, and cash requirements for benefit payments. Due to the potential impact of our recent business divestitures and restructuring activities, we may reassess our investment allocation in 2008.

     The above-noted net periodic benefit cost includes $2.3 million for 2007, $1.4 million for 2006 and $0.5 million for 2005 of costs that are presented in discontinued operations because those costs relate to the discontinued businesses.
     During 2007, two of our plans became subject to curtailment accounting because of the sale of a business and the announcement of the upcoming closure of another. This resulted in the immediate recognition of all of the outstanding prior service cost and transition obligations of these plans. Total curtailment charges of approximately $1.6 million were recorded, as required under SFAS No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits” (“SFAS 88”).
     Also during the current year, one of our plans experienced lump sum payments that exceeded the plan’s annual service and interest costs. This resulted in an accelerated recognition of plan costs of approximately $0.5 million, as required under SFAS 88.
     In 2006, one of our plans experienced lump sum payments that exceeded the plan’s annual service and interest costs. This resulted in an accelerated recognition of plan costs of approximately $0.6 million, as required under SFAS 88.
     We have not yet finalized our anticipated funding level for 2008, but, based on initial estimates, we anticipate funding approximately $0.8 million.
     Benefit payments estimated for future years are as follows:

     In 2007, our plans experienced a curtailment due to a significant reduction in future service as a result of the sale of certain automotive operations and the planned closure of our industrial glassware operation. This resulted in the immediate recognition of a portion of the outstanding prior service asset related to the impacted employees, as required under SFAS 88.
     We expect to contribute approximately $0.3 million to our postretirement benefit plans in 2008.
     Benefit payments estimated for future years are as follows:

Note 14 – Defined Contribution and Other Employee Plans
     We sponsored seven defined contribution plans established pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code during 2007. Two of these plans are in the process of being terminated as a result of the sale of certain automotive operations. Contributions are determined under various formulas, and we contributed to five of the plans in the current year. Costs related to such plans totaled approximately $1.0 million in each of the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
     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.
     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 approximately $2.0 million and $3.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Deferred compensation expense totaled approximately $0.2 million for each of the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
Note 15 – Commitments
     We have operating leases with initial noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year covering the rental of various facilities and equipment, which expire at various dates through 2014. Certain of these leases contain renewal options, some provide options to purchase during the lease term and some require contingent rentals based on usage. The future minimum rental commitments due under these leases are summarized as follows (in thousands): 2008–$5,598; 2009–$5,278; 2010–$3,741; 2011–$1,872; 2012–$952; thereafter–$696.
     Total rent expense, including short-term cancelable leases, during the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is summarized as follows:

Note 16Contingencies
     In addition to the items discussed below, at June 30, 2007, we were a party to various claims and litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters did not have a material adverse

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
(Tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
effect on the current-year results of operations and, in our opinion, their ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
     Approximately 21% of our employees are represented under various collective bargaining agreements, which expire at various times through calendar year 2010. 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.
     We received a distribution of approximately $0.7 million from the U.S. government under CDSOA in the second quarter of 2007, as compared to distributions of approximately $11.4 million and $26.2 million in the corresponding periods of 2006 and 2005, respectively. 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, on First Amendment grounds, CDSOA’s requirement that a company that is not a petitioner must have indicated its support for an antidumping petition in order to be deemedeligible for a distribution. In July 2007, the CIT found the statute was severable to make all domestic producers eligible for benefits and remanded to the agencies for a determination of moneys owed to the plaintiff. The remand is ongoing as of mid-August 2007. In September 2006, the CIT, in a separate case, ruled the requirement unconstitutional on equal protection grounds; following a remand, the CIT issued a final judgment in July 2007 affirming the agencies’ decisions on remand. An appeal can be taken by any of the parties to that case until late September 2007. Other cases challenging the constitutionality of CDSOA are pending before the CIT, most of which have been "filed" onlyassigned to a panel of three CIT judges and consolidated or stayed. We expect that the rulings of the CIT, once finalized, will be appealed. The ultimate resolution of the pending litigation, its timing and what, if any, effects the litigation will have on our receipt of future CDSOA distributions is uncertain. In addition to the extent portions thereofCIT ruling, there are expressly incorporateda 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.
     Certain of our automotive accessory products carry explicit limited warranties that extend from twelve 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, 2007 and 2006 is immaterial to our financial position, and the change in the accrual for 2007 is immaterial to our results of operations and cash flows.
Note 17 – Restructuring and Impairment Charge
     In 2007, we recorded a restructuring and impairment charge of approximately $3.5 million ($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 property, plant and equipment, a pension curtailment charge, one-time termination benefits and other costs. Production at the manufacturing facility was largely phased out by reference.May 31, 2007. We anticipate that active business operations will effectively cease by the end of the 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 approximately $0.9 million ($0.6 million after taxes) related to certain glassware-manufacturing equipment. This impairment occurred due to inefficient production and a slowdown in demand for certain products associated with this equipment.
Note 18 – Business Segments Information
     We have evaluated our operations in accordance with SFAS No. 131 and have determined that the business is separated into three distinct operating and reportable segments: “Specialty Foods,” “Glassware and Candles” and “Automotive.”
Specialty Foods–includes the production and marketing of a family of pourable and refrigerated produce salad dressings, croutons, sauces, refrigerated produce vegetable and fruit dips, chip dips, dry and frozen pasta and egg noodles, caviar, frozen hearth-baked breads, and frozen yeast rolls. Salad dressings, sauces, croutons, frozen pasta and egg noodles, frozen bread products and frozen yeast rolls are sold to both retail and foodservice markets.
