NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


1.            Basis of Presentation

BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Drew Industries Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Drew” or the “Company”). Drew has no unconsolidated subsidiaries. Drew’sDrew operates through its wholly-owned active subsidiaries aresubsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Lippert”), and Kinro, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Kinro”“Lippert Components”). Drew, through Lippert and Kinro, manufacturesComponents, supplies a broad array of components for the leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) and manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent manufacturessupplies components for modular housing, truck caps andadjacent industries including buses, as well as for trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo.

Becausecargo, truck campers, truck caps, modular housing and factory-built mobile office units. At March 31, 2014, the Company operated 34 manufacturing facilities in 12 states.


Manufacturing operations in the RV and manufactured housing industries, as well as other industries where the Company sells products or where its products are used, historically have been seasonal and are generally at the highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits have generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. However, because of fluctuations in RV dealer inventories, and changes inthe impact of international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years.


The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies described in its December 31, 20122013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in that report. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, sales and purchase rebates, accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, executive succession, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results and events could differ significantly from management estimates.


In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations as of and for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and 2012.2013. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include some information necessary to conform to annual reporting requirements.


2.            Segment Reporting

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company also supplies certain of these products to the RV aftermarket. In addition, the Company manufactures components for truck caps; buses;aftermarket, and to adjacent industries, including buses, trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo.cargo, truck campers and truck caps. Approximately 8281 percent of the Company’s RV Segment net sales for the last twelve months were componentsof products to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs.


The MH Segment, which accounted for 129 percent and 1311 percent of consolidated net sales for the ninethree month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2014 and 2013, and 2012, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used in the production of manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent, modular housing and mobile office units, including:


Vinyl and aluminum windows and screens          

Steel chassis

Thermoformed bath and kitchen products

Steel chassis parts

Steel and fiberglass entry doors

Axles

Aluminum and vinyl patio doors


The Company also supplies certain of these products to the manufactured housing aftermarket.aftermarket, and to adjacent industries, including modular housing and mobile office units. Certain of the Company’s MH Segment customers manufacture both manufactured homes and modular homes, and certain of the products manufactured by the Company are suitable for both types of homes. As a result, the Company is not always able to determine in which type of home its products are installed.


Decisions concerning the allocation of the Company's resources are made by the Company's key executives, with oversight by the Board of Directors. This group evaluates the performance of each segment based upon segment operating profit or loss, defined as income or loss before interest, executive succession and income taxes. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources are also based on each segment’s utilization of assets. Management of debt is a corporate function.

Goodwill represents the excess of the total consideration given in an acquisition of a business over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested at the reporting unit level for impairment annually in November, or more frequently if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. The impairment tests are based on fair value, determined using discounted cash flows, appraised values or management’s estimates. No impairment tests were required or performed during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013.

Borrowings under both the line of credit and the “shelf-loan” facility are secured on a pari-passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility, at March 31, 2014 the Company was required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Company’s borrowing availability at September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014. The remaining availability under these facilities was $197.8$212.8 million at September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014. The Company believes thisthe availability under the amended line of credit and "shelf-loan" facility, together with the $52.9$6.1 million in cash at September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, is more than adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.

As required, the liability for this contingent consideration is measured at fair value quarterly, considering actual sales of the acquired products, updated sales projections, and the updated market participant weighted average cost of capital. Depending upon the weighted average costs of capital and future sales of the products which are subject to contingent consideration, the Company could record adjustments in future periods.

In the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the net impact of the quarterly fair value adjustments and accretion of the liability was an expense of $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Amounts represent the fair value of estimated remaining payments. The total estimated remaining payments as of March 31, 2014 are $12.2 million. The liability for contingent consideration expires at various dates through September 2029. Certain of the products subject to contingent consideration have a remaining maximum contingent consideration while the remaining products have no maximum contingent consideration.

Litigation


In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is management’s opinion that after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.

Executive Succession and Severance

On May 10, 2013, Fredric M. Zinn retired as President and Chief Executive Officer of Drew. Jason D. Lippert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lippert Components and Kinro, succeeded Mr. Zinn as Chief Executive Officer of Drew. Scott T. Mereness, President of Lippert Components and Kinro, succeeded Mr. Zinn as President of Drew. In June 2013, the Company also relocated its corporate headquarters from White Plains, New York to Elkhart County, Indiana, the location of the corporate headquarters of Lippert Components and Kinro.

In connection with the Company’s executive succession and corporate relocation, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $1.8 million in the first six months of 2013, related to contractual obligations for severance and the acceleration of equity awards held by certain employees whose employment terminated as a result of the executive succession and relocation to Indiana. No charges were recorded in the third quarter of 2013, and no other related charges are expected. The liability for executive succession and severance obligations will be paid through 2015. During the third quarter of 2013, the transition and corporate office relocation were completed. As a result, the Company expects to save an estimated $2 million annually in general and administrative costs beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Deferred Compensation


The Company has an Executive Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The amounts deferred under thisthe Plan are credited with earnings or losses based upon changes in values of the notional investments elected by the Plan participants. The Company invests 65 percent of the amounts deferred by the Plan participants in life insurance contracts, matching the investments elected by the Plan participants. Deferred compensation assets and liabilities were valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of identical instruments.


Contingent Consideration Related to Acquisitions


Liabilities for contingent consideration related to acquisitions were valued using management’s projections for long-term sales forecasts, including assumptions regarding market share gains and future industry-specific economic and market conditions, and a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital. Over the next fourthree years, the Company’s long-term sales growth forecasts for these products subject to contingent consideration arrangements average approximately 20 percent per year. For further information on the inputs used in determining the fair value, and a roll-forward of the contingent consideration liability, see Note 98 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


Changes in either of the inputs in isolation would result in a change in the fair value measurement. A change in the assumptions used for sales forecasts would result in a directionally similar change in the fair value liability, while a change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a directionally opposite change in the fair value liability. If there is an increase in the fair value liability, the Company would record a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses, and if there is a decrease in the fair value liability, the Company would record a benefit in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Derivative Instruments

At September 30, 2013, the Company had no derivative instruments outstanding. While outstanding, these derivative instruments were considered to be economic hedges of the underlying movement in the price of aluminum, but were not designated or accounted for as a hedge. These derivative instruments were valued at fair value using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of similar instruments at the end of each reporting period, and the resulting net gain or loss was recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At September 30, 2013, the corresponding liability for the expired derivative instruments was less than $0.1 million and was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and at December 31, 2012, the $0.2 million corresponding asset was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, both as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first nine months of 2013, derivative instruments for 4.7 million pounds of aluminum were settled at a loss of $0.3 million, which was recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the first ninethree months of 20132014 and 2012,2013, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of six and eightits vacant owned facilities, respectively.facilities. The determination of fair value was based on the best information available, including internal cash flow estimates, market prices for similar assets, broker quotes and independent appraisals, as appropriate.


During the first ninethree months of 2013,2014, the fairCompany reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of two of thesethree vacant owned facilities did not exceed its carrying value; therefore an impairment charge of $0.1 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. A sale agreement has been signed on one facility, with closing scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2013. During the first nine months of 2013, the Company sold one of thethese facilities previously recorded as a vacant facility and reopenedfacility. At March 31, 2014, the Company had two facilities. At September 30, 2013, the remaining three vacant owned facilities, with an estimated combined fair value of $4.0$3.1 million including the one scheduled for closing in the fourth quarterand a combined carrying value of 2013, were$2.7 million, classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other Intangible Assets

During the first nine months of 2012, the Company reviewed the recoverability of amortizable intangible assets associated with an acquired patent. Based on the analyses, the carrying value of these intangible assets exceeded the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated. As a result, the Company was required to determine the fair value of these intangible assets. Fair value was determined based on the present value of internal cash flow estimates. The resulting fair value of these intangible assets was nominal; therefore the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.2 million, of which $1.0 million was recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.


Net Assets of Acquired Businesses


The Company valued the assets and liabilities associated with the acquisitions of businesses on the respective acquisition dates. Depending upon the type of asset or liability acquired, the Company used different valuation techniques in determining the fair value. Those techniques included comparable market prices, long-term sales, profitability and cash flow forecasts, assumptions regarding future industry-specific economic and market conditions, a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital, as well as other techniques as circumstances required. For further information on acquired assets and liabilities, see Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Vacant Leased Facilities

The Company recorded a charge of less than $0.1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the first nine months of 2012 due to the early termination of leases of vacant facilities.

Certain of the Company’s MH Segment customers manufacture both manufactured homes and modular homes, and certain of the products manufactured by the Company are suitable for both types of homes. As a result, the Company is not always able to determine in which type of home its products are installed.

Because


Manufacturing operations in the RV and manufactured housing industries, as well as other industries where the Company sells products or where its products are used, historically have been seasonal and are generally at the highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits have generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. However, because of fluctuations in dealer inventories, and changes inthe impact of international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND


Recreational Vehicle Industry


An RV is a vehicle designed as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel or seasonal use. RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, fifth-wheel travel trailers, folding camping trailers and truck campers).


According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), industry-widewholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, the Company’s primary RV markets, increased 1013 percent in the first ninethree months of 20132014 to 207,90075,300 units, compared to the first ninethree months of 2012,2013, as a result of:

An estimated 23,600 unit increase inretail demand in the first nine months of 2013, or 12 percent, as compared to the same period of 2012.

Partially offset by RV dealers decreasing inventory levels by an estimated 6,200 units in the first nine months of 2013, compared to a decrease of 2,200 units in the first nine months of 2012.


An estimated 1,300 unit increase in retail demand in the first three months of 2014, or 3 percent, as compared to the same period of 2013.
Anticipated strong retail demand in the upcoming Spring and Summer selling seasons, leading RV dealers to seasonally increase inventory levels by an estimated 31,200 units in the first three months of 2014, or 7,300 more units than in the first three months of 2013.

The annual sales cycle for the RV industry has historically started in October after the “Open House” in Elkhart, Indiana where RV original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs")OEMs display product to RV retail dealers, and ended after the conclusion of the Summer selling season in September. Between October and March, industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have historically exceeded retail sales, and between April and September, the Spring and Summer selling seasons, retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have historically exceeded industry-wide wholesale shipments. The Company estimates that RV dealers across the U.S. and Canada added an estimated aggregateMost industry analysts report dealer inventories of 16,000 travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs to their inventories between October 2012 and September 2013, in response to the increase in retail sales for the same period and in anticipation of strong retail demand. Despite this year-over-year increase, analysts believe dealer inventories are in-line with anticipated retail demand. Moreover, some analysts have reported that we may bedemand in the beginning stages of an RV replacement cycle.

upcoming Spring 2014 selling season.


While the Company measures its RV sales against industry-wide wholesale shipment statistics, the underlying health of the RV industry is determined by retail demand. A comparison of the number of units and the year-over-year percentage change in industry-wide wholesale shipments and retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, as reported by Statistical Surveys, Inc., as well as the resulting change in dealer inventories, for both the United States and Canada,is as follows:

Retail sales data for September 2013March 2014 has not been published; therefore retail and dealer inventory data includes an estimate for retail units sold.


According to the RVIA, industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhome RVs in the first three months of 2014 increased 31 percent to 11,100 units compared to the same period of 2013. The Company estimates retail demand for motorhome RVs increased 11 percent in the first three months of 2014.

While production over the last nine monthsseveral quarters was strong, unless retail demand matches these production levels, dealers could reduce the pace of their orders, and our customers, the OEMs, would need to adjust their production levels in future months. Ultimately, industry-wide retail sales, and therefore production levels of RVs, will depend to a significant extent on the course of the economy. Retail sales of RVs historically have been closely tied to general economic conditions, as well as consumer confidence which as reported by The Conference Board, reached a more than five-year highhas fluctuated in June 2013. In the third quarterrecent months. Although future retail demand is still uncertain, reports of 2013,increased traffic and sales at consumer confidence declined, but remained well above consumer confidence levelsRV shows over the past five years.

last couple of months are positive signs for the industry. Several industry analysts are also reporting the retail sales over the coming months could benefit from pent-up demand stemming from the prolonged winter. Retail sales in the traditionally strong Spring and Summer selling seasons will be a key indicator of consumer demand for RVs in 2014.


In September 2013,February 2014, the RVIA projected a 5 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs for 2014, to 281,100.280,600. The Company is also encouraged that several key customers are introducing new product lines, as well as increasing production capacity. Several industry analysts also report that the RV industry may benefit in the coming years from the release of pent-up demand resulting from the recession. The Company also remains confident in its ability to exceed industry growth rates through new product introductions, market share gains, acquisitions and ongoing investments in research and development, engineering, quality and customer service.

In


Over the long term, the Company expects RV industry sales to be aided by positive demographics and the continued popularity of the “RV Lifestyle”. Further, the number of consumers between the ages of 55 and 70 will total 56 million by 2020,

27 percent higher than in 2010, according to U.S. Census figures, and one in ten vehicle-owning households between the ages of 50 and 64 own at least one RV.


Further, the RVIA has a generican advertising campaign promoting the “RV lifestyle”. The current campaign is targeted at both parents aged 30-49 with children at home, as well as couples aged 50-64 with no children at home. The popularity of traveling in RVs to NASCAR and other sporting events, more family-oriented domestic vacations, and using RVs as second homes, also appear to motivate consumer demand for RVs. RVIA studies indicate that RV vacations cost significantly less than other forms of vacation.

Manufactured Housing Industry


Manufactured homes are built entirely in a factory on permanent steel undercarriages or chassis to which axles and wheels are attached. The homes are then transported to a manufactured housing dealer which sells and transports the home to the buyer’s home site. The manufactured home is installed pursuant to a federal building code administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). The federal standards regulate manufactured housing design and construction, methods to site and secure the home at a home site, strength and durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency and quality. The HUD code also sets performance standards for the heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. It is the only federally regulated national building code. On-site additions, such as garages, decks and porches, often add to the attractiveness of manufactured homes and must be built to local, state or regional building codes. A manufactured home may be sited on owned or leased land.


Manufactured homes contain one or more “floors” or sections which can be joined to make larger homes. A typical section may range in size from 800 to 1,200 square feet. During the first ninethree months of 2013,2014, multi-section homes were 53 percent of the total manufactured homes produced, consistent with 2012, and above2013, but down from the 51 percent for 2011. Multi-section homes averaged 64 percent of the total manufactured homes produced between 2007 and 2010. Multi-section manufactured homes contain more of the Company’s products than single-section manufactured homes.


The Institute for Building Technology and Safety (“IBTS”) reported, that for the first ninethree months of 2013,2014, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were 45,30013,700 units, an increase of 86 percent compared to the first ninethree months of 2012. In the third quarter of 2013, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were 16,200 units, an increase of 14 percent compared to the same period of 2012.

2013.


Industry-wide wholesale shipments by the manufactured housing industry have declined since 1999experienced a decline from the peak of industry-wide production in 1998 for a variety of reasons. Because of the current real estate, credit and economic environment, including the availability of foreclosed site built homes at abnormally low prices and high interest rate spreads between conventional mortgages for site-built homes and loans for manufactured homes, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes may remain low until these conditions improve. In addition, certain provisions of the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Act, which regulate financial transactions, could make certain types of mortgages, including chattel loans, more difficult to obtain – in particular those historically used to finance the purchase of manufactured homes. Although new legislation has been introduced to address this matter, and the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection is reviewing this matter, there can be no assurance of the outcome.


Nevertheless, the Company believes that long-term growth prospects for manufactured housing remain positive because of (i) the quality and affordability of the home, (ii) favorable demographic trends, including the increasing number of retirees who, in the past, had represented a significant market for manufactured homes, and (iii) pent-up demand by retirees who could potentially purchase a manufactured home, but have been unable or unwilling to sell their primary residence and purchase a manufactured home.

On February 27, 2014, the Company acquired Innovative Design Solutions, Inc. (“IDS”), a designer, developer and manufacturer of electronic systems encompassing a wide variety of RV applications. IDS also manufactures electronic systems for automotive, medical and industrial applications. IDS had annual sales of approximately $19 million in 2013, of which $13 million were to the Company. The purchase price was $36.6 million, of which $34.2 million was paid at closing, with the balance to be paid out annually over the subsequent three years, plus contingent consideration based on future sales of this operation. The acquisition of IDS provides the Company with further access to unique and innovative electronic products for the RV industry, as well as adjacent industries.

On March 14, 2014, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Star Design, LLC. Star Design had annual sales of approximately $10 million in 2013, comprised primarily of thermoformed sheet plastic products for the RV, bus and specialty vehicle industries. The purchase price was $12.2 million paid at closing. The acquisition of Star Design will help the Company continue to grow its RV and specialty thermoformed plastics business.
In April 2014, the Company entered into a six-year aluminum extrusion supply agreement, and concurrently sold certain aluminum extrusion assets. The Company anticipates recording a pre-tax loss of approximately $2 million in the second quarter of 2014 on the sale of the aluminum extrusion-related assets. The outsourcing of these aluminum extrusion requirements is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings and will free up management time and production capacity for other opportunities.

The Company’s net sales to the RV aftermarket and adjacent industries, including components for truck caps, buses, and trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo, truck campers and truck caps, increased during the thirdfirst quarter of 20132014 primarily due to market share gains. The Company believes there are significant opportunities in the RV aftermarket and adjacent industries.

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company hired a new Director of International Business Development, who will spend time in Australia, Europe and other international markets, assessing the dynamics of the local marketplace, building relationships with OEMs and helping the Company introduce its existing products and develop new products for those markets. Over the past several years, the Company has been gradually growing sales overseas, primarily in Europe and Australia, and exports represent approximately 1 percent of consolidated net sales.

Operating profit of the RV Segment was $19.2$23.7 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2013,2014, an improvement of $7.6$11.5 million compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2012.2013. This increase in RV Segment operating profit was greater than the Company’s expected 15 to 20 percent incremental margin. The operating profit margin of the RV Segment in the thirdfirst quarter of 20132014 was positively impacted by:

Lower material costs. After increasing temporarily in the latter part of 2012, steel and aluminum costs declined during the first nine months of 2013. In addition, material costs in the third quarter of 2012 were negatively impacted by increased outsourcing costs due to capacity limitations, as well as higher scrap costs due to production inefficiencies. The Company does not expect any significant changes in material costs as a percent of net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013. However, material costs remain volatile.

Improved labor efficiencies, primarily due to completed production processes implemented by management, as well as declines in the costs of implementing facility consolidations and realignments. These labor efficiencies were realized over the past several quarters while introducing new products and adjusting to industry and market share growth. The Company is continuing to implement additional efficiency improvements as they are identified.

The spreading of fixed manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs over a $23 million larger sales base.

Lower material costs. Steel and aluminum costs declined during 2013, before increasing in the beginning of 2014, although not to the levels experienced in early 2013. The Company does not expect any significant changes in material costs as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of 2014. However, material costs remain volatile.
The elimination of production inefficiencies and costs incurred as a result of significant growth which occurred in 2012 and early 2013. In addition, the Company improved labor efficiencies, primarily due to completed production processes implemented by management. These labor efficiencies were realized over the past several quarters while introducing new products and adjusting to industry and market share growth. The Company is continuing to implement additional efficiency improvements, including lean, automation and employee retention initiatives, as they are identified.
Lower warranty costs, largely due to lower claims experience.
Lower payroll costs, largely due to a reduction in state unemployment tax rates.
The spreading of fixed manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs over a $35 million larger sales base.

Partially offset by:

Fixed costs were approximately $4 million to $5 million higher than in the third quarter of 2012. In response to the substantial increase in sales over the past several quarters, the Company added significant resources, investing in personnel and facilities to expand and improve production capacity and efficiencies, as well as to improve customer service.

Fixed costs, which were approximately $3 million to $4 million higher than in the first quarter of 2013. In response to the substantial increase in sales over the past several quarters, the Company added significant resources, investing in personnel and facilities to expand and improve production capacity and efficiencies, as well as to improve customer service.
In anticipation of future growth, the Company continues to expand and improve production capacity, investing in personnel and facilities in excess of current needs. In addition, the Company plans to invest in areas where it believes additional savings can be realized, such as purchasing, automation and human resources. While some of these initiatives and related fixed costs may have a negative impact on operating margins in the short term, the Company believes they will benefit the long-term growth of the Company, and improve its industry-leading customer service.

In January 2014, the Company entered into a 9-year lease for a 366,000 square-foot facility to consolidate its furniture and mattress operations, and in March 2014 the Company entered into a 12 1/2-year lease for a 539,000 square-foot facility, half of which is subleased for 5 years, to improve and expand its distribution and warehousing capabilities. These two leases add significant new capacity, in part to improve the Company's customer service, as well as helping prepare for expected growth over the next few years in the industries it supplies. In connection with the opening of and relocation to these new leased facilities, the Company anticipates incurring realignment costs over the next several quarters, but such costs are not expected to be of the magnitude experienced in 2012 and early 2013.
Incentive compensation, which is based on profits, rather than sales, did not change proportionately with net sales.

The Company’s net sales growth in components for travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs during the first nine months of 2013 exceeded the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs primarily due to market share gains of $4 million.

The increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhomes during the first nine months of 2013 was greater than the Company’s increase in net sales of motorhome components during the same period, primarily due to customer mix. Over the past few years, the Company has been expanding its product line of components for motorhomes in order to increase its customer base and market penetration.

The Company’s net sales to the RV aftermarket and adjacent industries, including components for truck caps, buses, and trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo, increased during the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to market share gains. The Company believes there are significant opportunities in the RV aftermarket and adjacent industries.

Operating profit of the RV Segment was $54.1 million in the first nine months of 2013, an improvement of $13.2 million compared to the first nine months of 2012. This increase in RV Segment operating profit was consistent with the Company’s expected 15 – 20 percent incremental margin. The operating profit margin of the RV Segment in the first nine months of 2013 was positively impacted by: 

Lower material costs. After increasing temporarily in the latter part of 2012, steel and aluminum costs declined during the first nine months of 2013. In addition, material costs in the third quarter of 2012 were negatively impacted by increased outsourcing costs due to capacity limitations, as well as higher scrap costs due to production inefficiencies. The Company does not expect any significant changes in material costs as a percent of net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013. However, material costs remain volatile.

As a result, the Company’s content per manufactured home produced for the twelve months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 declined from the prior year period.


The trend in the Company’s average product content per manufactured home produced is an indicator of the Company’s overall market share of components for new manufactured homes. Manufactured homes contain one or more “floors” or sections which can be joined to make larger homes. The larger homes typically contain more of the Company’s products. The Company’s average product content per manufactured home produced by the industry and total manufactured home floors produced by the industry, calculated based upon the Company’s net sales of components to manufactured housing OEMs for newly produced manufactured homes for the twelve month periods ended September 30,March 31, divided by the number of manufactured homes and manufactured home floors produced by the industry, respectively, for the same period, was:

Operating profit of the MH Segment was $9.9 million in the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of $0.4 million compared to the first nine months of 2012. This decrease was primarily due to increased labor and related costs, partially offset by lower raw material costs.

Executive Succession

On May 10, 2013, Fredric M. Zinn retired as President and Chief Executive Officer of Drew. Jason D. Lippert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lippert Components and Kinro, succeeded Mr. Zinn as Chief Executive Officer of Drew. Scott T. Mereness, President of Lippert Components and Kinro, succeeded Mr. Zinn as President of Drew. In June 2013, the Company also relocated its corporate headquarters from White Plains, New York to Elkhart County, Indiana, the location of the corporate headquarters of Lippert Components and Kinro.


In connection with the Company’s 2013 executive succession and corporate relocation, the Company recorded a pre-tax chargescharge of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $1.8$1.1 million in the first sixthree months of 2013, related to contractual obligations for severance and the acceleration of equity awards held by certain employees whose employment terminated as a result of the executive succession and relocation to Indiana. No charges were recorded in the third quarter of 2013, and no other related charges are expected. The liability for executive succession and severance obligations will be paid through 2015. During the third quarter of 2013, the transition and corporate office relocation were completed. As a result, the Company expects to save an estimated $2 million annually in general and administrative costs beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013.

The effective tax rate for the 2014 first nine months and third quarter of 37.7 percent was consistent with the 2013 was 36.9 percent and 34.9 percent, respectively, both higher than thefirst quarter income tax rate for the comparable periods of 2012. The effective income tax rate for both the 2013 and 2012 periods benefitted from the reversal of federal and state tax reserves, due to the closure of federal and state tax years, with a larger benefit in the 2012 periods. In addition, the effective income tax rate for both the 2013 and 2012 periods benefitted from federal and state tax credits.37.8 percent.

Cash Flows from Operations

Significant changes in the components of


Net cash flows from operations foroperating activities in the first ninethree months of 2014 were $28.4 million higher than the same period of 2013, primarily due to:

A $7.8 million increase in net income in the first three months of 2014 compared to the first three months of 2013.
A decrease in inventories of $4.4 million in the first three months of 2014 compared to an increase of $12.8 million in the first three months of 2013. The decrease in inventories in the first three months of 2014 was primarily due to the higher than expected sales, as well as the concerted effort of management to improve inventory turns on a sustainable basis. The increase in the first three months of 2013 were a result of:

A $4.1 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the first nine months of 2013 compared to an increase of $7.0 million in the first nine months of 2012. The increase in the first nine months of 2012 was largely due to the timing of deposits. During the first nine months of 2013, the Company’s federal income tax overpayment from 2012 was applied against its estimated 2013 tax liability.

A decrease in inventories of $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared to an increase of $5.8 million in the first nine months of 2012. The decrease in inventories in the first nine months of 2013 was primarily due to the higher than expected sales during the first ninewas primarily to support the significant increase in April 2013 net sales. Inventory turnover for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 increased to 8.1 turns from 7.9 turns for the full year 2013 and the twelve months ended March 31, 2013.

A $7.7 million larger increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the first three months of 2014 compared to the first three months of 2013, primarily due to increased payroll related costs and sales rebates, as well as through the concerted effort of management to improve inventory turns on a sustainable basis. In the first nine months of 2012, the Company experienced a more typical seasonal increase in inventory. Inventory turnover for the twelve months ended September 30, 2013 remained consistent with the full year 2012 at 7.8 turns, an improvement from the 7.5 turns for the twelve months ended September 30, 2012.

A $6.4 million increase in net income in the first nine months of 2013 compared to the first nine months of 2012.

Partially offset by:

A $5.0 million larger seasonal increase in accounts receivable, primarily due to increased sales, partially offset by the timing of payments by the Company’s customers. Accounts receivable balances remain current, with only 20 days sales outstanding at September 30, 2013.

A $7.6 million smaller increase in accounts payable in the first nine months of 2013 compared to the first nine months of 2012, primarily due to the timing of purchases and payments for inventory.

Due to the timing of the purchases and payments for inventory, the seasonal reductionsthese payments.

A $4.8 million larger increase in working capital during the fourth quarter will likely experience a smaller seasonal changeaccounts payable in the fourthfirst three months of 2014 compared to the first three months of 2013, primarily due to the increase in sales, production and earnings, as well as the timing of these payments.
Partially offset by:
A $10.4 million larger seasonal increase in accounts receivable in the first quarter of 2013.

2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, primarily due to increased sales, as well as the timing of payments by the Company’s customers. Accounts receivable balances remain current, with only 22 days sales outstanding at March 31, 2014.


Over the long term, based on the Company’s historical collection and payment patterns, as well as inventory turnover, the Company expects working capital to increase or decrease equivalent to approximately 10 percent to 12 percent of the corresponding increase or decrease, respectively, in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact this relationship, especially in the short term.


Depreciation and amortization was $7.2 million in the first three months of 2014, and is expected to aggregate $30 million to $32 million for the full year 2014.

Depreciation and amortization was $20.4 million in the first nine months of 2013, and is expected to aggregate $26 million to $28 million for the full year 2013. Further, the Company estimates depreciation and amortization will be approximately $26 million to $28 million in 2014.

Non-cash stock-based compensation in the first nine months of 2013 was $8.2 million, and is expected to be approximately $10 million to $11 million for the full year 2013. Non-cash stock-based compensation is expected to be $10 million to $12 million for the full year 2014.



Cash Flows from Investing Activities


Cash flows used for investing activities of $26.3$52.8 million in the first ninethree months of 2014 were primarily comprised of $46.7 million for the acquisition of businesses and $6.8 million for capital expenditures. In the first three months of 2013, cash flows used for investing activities of $8.9 million were primarily for capital expenditures. In order to better serve its customers and meet the increased demand for its products, the Company continues to invest in capacity expansion, automation and production improvement, as well as cost reduction initiatives.


On February 27, 2014, the Company acquired Innovative Design Solutions, Inc. (“IDS”), a designer, developer and manufacturer of electronic systems encompassing a wide variety of RV applications. IDS also manufactures electronic systems for automotive, medical and industrial applications. IDS had annual sales of approximately $19 million in 2013, of which $13 million were to the Company. The purchase price was $36.6 million, of which $34.2 million was paid at closing, with the balance to be paid out annually over the subsequent three years, plus contingent consideration based on future sales of this operation.
On March 14, 2014, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Star Design, LLC. Star Design had annual sales of approximately $10 million in 2013, comprised primarily of thermoformed sheet plastic products for the RV, bus and specialty vehicle industries. The purchase price was $12.2 million paid at closing.
The Company’s capital expenditures are primarily for replacement and growth. Over the long term, based on the Company’s historical capital expenditures, the replacement portion has averaged approximately 1.5 percent to 2.0 percent of net sales, while the growth portion has averaged approximately 10 percent to 12 percent of the annual increase in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact this relationship, such as new initiatives by the Company, especially in the short term.


The Company estimates that capital expenditures will be $33$32 million to $35$36 million in 2013,for the full year 2014, including $18 million to $20 million of “replacement” capital expenditures and $14 million to $16 million of “growth” capital expenditures. The growth capital expenditures for 2013 include a new glass tempering line, metal fabrication equipment and new ERP software.

The Company estimates that capital expenditures will be $32 million to $36 million in 2014. However, certain capital projects included in the 2013 capital expenditure forecast may not be completed until next year. If delayed, this will not change the Company’s overall cash flow, but rather just the timing between years. Additional capital expenditures may also be required in 2014 depending on the extent of the sales growth and other initiatives by the Company.


The capital expenditures and acquisitions during the first ninethree months of 20132014 were funded from available cash plus periodic borrowings under the Company’s $50 million line of credit. The capital expenditures for the balance of 2013 and for the full year 2014 are expected to be funded from available cash.

On June 24, 2013,cash plus periodic borrowings under the Company acquired the business and certain assetsCompany's line of Midstates Tool & Die and Engineering, Inc. (“Midstates”). Midstates is a manufacturer of tools and dies, as well as automation equipment. The acquired business had annualized sales of approximately $2 million. The purchase price was $1.5 million paid at closing.

In the first nine months of 2012, cash flows used for investing activities of $18.2 million were primarily for capital expenditures of $22.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of fixed assets of $5.4 million. In addition, on February 21, 2012, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of the United States RV entry door operation of Euramax International, Inc. The acquired business had annualized sales of approximately $6 million. The purchase price was $1.7 million, of which $1.2 million was paid at closing, with the balance to be paid over the subsequent three years.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

In


Cash flows used for financing activities in the first ninethree months of 2014 include the payment of a special dividend of $2.00 per share of the Company’s Common Stock, representing an aggregate of $46.7 million, paid to stockholders of record as of December 20, 2013, partially offset by a net increase in debt of $10.0 million. The increase in debt was due to borrowings under the Company's line of credit. In addition, in the first three months of 2014, the Company received $11.8$3.3 million in cash and the related tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation, partially offset by $4.3$1.1 million in payments for contingent consideration related to acquisitions.

In the first quarter of 2013, the Company received $5.0 million in cash and the related tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation, partially offset by $0.9 million in payments for contingent consideration related to acquisitions.


In connection with several business acquisitions, if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved, the Company would pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded an $8.5$8.4 million liability for the aggregate fair value of these expected contingent consideration liabilities at September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014. The Company expects to pay $5.0$2.7 million over the next twelve months related to these contingent consideration liabilities. For further information see Note 98 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

At September 30, 2013,


On February 24, 2014, the Company had no outstanding debt and $52.9 million of cash. However, due to the seasonal increase in working capital during the first nine months of 2013, the Company borrowed periodically under its line of credit, with such borrowings reachingentered into a high of $21.2 million.

The Company has a $50.0$75.0 million line of credit (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Lenders”)., amending the Company's previous $50.0 million line of credit that was scheduled to expire on January 1, 2016. The maximum borrowings under the Company’s new line of credit can be increased by $20.0$25.0 million upon approval of the Lenders. Interest on borrowings under the new line of credit is designated from time to time by the Company as either (i) the Prime Rate, minus a rate ranging from 0.75 percent to 1.0 percent (minus 1.0 percent at March 31, 2014), but not less than 2.51.5 percent, plus additional interest up to 0.8 percent (0 percent at September 30, 2013), or (ii) LIBOR plus additional interest ranging from 1.75 percent to 2.0 percent to 2.8 percent (2.0(1.75 percent at September 30, 2013)March 31, 2014) depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition.

TheMarch 31, 2014.


Simultaneously, the Company also hasentered into a $150.0 million “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (“Prudential”)., amending the Company's previous $150.0 million “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential. The new facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, to mature no more than twelve years after the date of original issue of each Senior Promissory Note. Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. At September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, there were no Senior Promissory Notes outstanding. This new facility expires on February 24, 2014.

Borrowings under both the line of credit and the “shelf-loan” facility are secured on a pari-passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility, at March 31, 2014 the Company was required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Company’s borrowing availability at September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014. The remaining availability under these facilities was $197.8$212.8 million at September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014. The Company believes thisthe availability under the amended line of credit and “shelf-loan” facility, together with the $52.9$6.1 million in cash at September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, is more than adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility, at September 30, 2013 the Company was required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

Borrowings under both the line of credit and the “shelf-loan” facility are secured on a pari-passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries.

The Company is currently negotiating a three-year extension of its line of credit and shelf loan facility, as well as a $25 million increase in its line of credit. The Company is extending these arrangements now because the shelf loan facility expires in February 2014, and current market conditions are favorable.

In 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in block trades. Of this authorization, 535,135 shares were repurchased prior to 2013 at an average price of $18.64 per share, or $10.0 million. The number of shares ultimately repurchased, and the timing of the purchases, will depend upon market conditions, share price and other factors.

Cash flows used for financing activities of $0.4 million in the first nine months of 2012 included payment of $3.3 million of contingent consideration, partially offset by $2.8 million received from the exercise of stock options and deferred stock units.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE


The Company is in compliance with the corporate governance requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s governance documents and committee charters and key practices have been posted to the Company’s website (www.drewindustries.com) and are updated periodically.

CONTINGENCIES


Additional information required by this item is included in Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and under Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


INFLATION


The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of steel and aluminum, and components used by the Company which are made from these raw materials, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of these commodities have historically been volatile, and over the past few months prices have continued to fluctuate. The Company did not experience any significant increaseincreases in its labor costs in the first ninethree months of 20132014 related to inflation.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)


USE OF ESTIMATES


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, sales and purchase rebates, accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, executive succession, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results and events could differ significantly from management estimates.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


This Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities, for existing products, acquisitions, plans and objectives of management, markets for the Company’s Common Stock and other matters. Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the “Exchange Act”)as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, (the “Securities Act”).

as amended, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.


Forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to our future business prospects, net sales, expenses and income (loss), cash flow, and financial condition, whenever they occur in this Form 10-Q are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management at the time such statements were made, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. You should consider forward-looking statements, therefore, in light of various important factors, including those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, in addition to other matters described in this Form 10-Q, pricing pressures due to domestic and foreign competition, costs and availability of raw materials (particularly steel, steel-basedsteel based components and aluminum) and other components, availability of credit for financing the retail and wholesale purchase of products for which we sell our components, availability and costs of labor, employee retention, inventory levels of retail dealers and manufacturers, levels of repossessed products for which we sell our components, changes in zoning regulations for manufactured homes, seasonality and cyclicality in the industries to which we sell our products, the financial condition of our customers, the financial condition of retail dealers of products for which we sell our components, retention and concentration of significant customers, the pace of and successful integration of acquisitions, realization of efficiency improvements, the successful entry into new markets, the costs of compliance with increased governmental regulation, interest rates, oil and gasoline prices, and the successful implementationimpact of management succession. In addition, international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence affecton the retail sale of products for which we sell our components.

We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made, except as required by law.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company has historically been exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its financing activities.


At September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, the Company had no$10.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Assuming there is an increase of 100 basis points in the interest rate for borrowings under these variable rate loans subsequent to March 31, 2014, and outstanding borrowings.

borrowings of $10.0 million, future cash flows would be reduced by $0.1 million per annum.


The Company is also exposed to changes in the prices of raw materials, specifically steel and aluminum. The Company has, from time to time, entered into derivative instruments for the purpose of managing a portion of the exposures associated with fluctuations in aluminum prices. While these derivative instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, these fluctuations are generally offset by the changes in fair value of the underlying exposures. At September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, the Company had no derivative instruments outstanding. See Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of derivative instruments.


The Company has historically been able to obtain sales price increases to offset the majority of raw material cost increases. However, there can be no assurance that future cost increases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such sales price increases will match raw material cost increases.


Additional information required by this item is included under the caption “Inflation” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this Report.


ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is(ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, in accordance with the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management included in its evaluation the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company continually evaluates its disclosure controls and procedures to determine if changes are appropriate based upon changes in the Company’s operations or the business environment in which it operates.

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the


The Company, performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose for which they were designed as of the end of such period.


b)

Changes in Internal Controls


There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company has selected a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, and has begun implementing that system. Although to date there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls, the Company anticipates internal controls will be strengthened incrementally due both to the installation of the new ERP software and business process changes. The full implementation is expected to take several years.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is management’s opinion that after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.
