NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – CONDENSED FOOTNOTES

 

As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) instructions to Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements. Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013,28, 2014, as filed with the Commission.

 

The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, the financial information included in this report contains all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The December 29, 201328, 2014, consolidated condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The first quarter of 2015 was comprised of 14 weeks, while the first quarter of 2014 was comprised of 13 weeks. Each of the second quarters of 2015 and 2014 was comprised of 13 weeks.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding, including participating securities outstanding, during the period as discussed below.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic EPS that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in the Company’s earnings.

Table Of Contents
 

 

The Company includes all unvested stock awards which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in our basic and diluted EPS calculations when the inclusion of these shares would be dilutive. Unvested share-based awards of restricted stock are paid dividends equally with all other shares of common stock. As a result, the Company includes all outstanding restricted stock awards in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Distributed earnings include common stock dividends and dividends earned on unvested share-based payment awards. Undistributed earnings represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. The following tables show distributed and undistributed earnings:

NOTE 5 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock OptionAwards

 

In accordance with accounting standards, the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide the services – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) – in exchange for the award. The grant date fair value for options and similar instruments will be estimated using option pricing models. Under accounting standards, the Company is required to select a valuation technique or option pricing model that meets the criteria stated in the standard. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model. Accounting standards require that the Company estimate forfeitures for stock options and reduce compensation expense accordingly. The Company has reduced its stock compensation expense by the assumed forfeiture rate and will evaluate experience against this forfeiture rate going forward.

 

During the first nine months of 2013, the Company recognized stock option compensation expenses of $0.1 million. All outstanding stock options vested prior to 2014,the end of 2013, and therefore there have beenwas no stock option compensation expenses during 2014.expense in 2014 or 2015.

NOTE 7 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

Based on applicable accounting standards, the Company has determined that it has three operating segments – namely, the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific geographic regions. Pursuant to accounting standards, the Company has aggregated the three operating segments into one reporting segment because they have similar economic characteristics, and the operating segments are similar in all of the following areas: (a) the nature of the products and services; (b) the nature of the production processes; (c) the type or class of customer for their products and services; (d) the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and (e) the nature of the regulatory environment.

 

NOTE 8 – SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Cash payments for interest amounted to $3.3 million and $9.9 million for the six months ended July 5, 2015, and June 29, 2014, respectively. Income tax payments amounted to $3.5 million and $4.0 million for the six months ended July 5, 2015, and June 29, 2014, respectively.

NOTE 9 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from generally accepted accounting principles. The standard does not affect disclosure guidance for events or transactions that are unusual in nature or infrequent in their occurrence. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The standard allows prospective or retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted if applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will have any significant effect on our ongoing financial reporting.

In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard which changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. The new accounting standard is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, this standard will have on our ongoing financial reporting, but we do not believe the adoption of this standard will have any significant effect on our ongoing financial reporting.

NOTE 10 – INCOMETAXES

Accounting standards require that all tax positions be analyzed using a two-step approach. The first step requires an entity to determine if a tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. In the second step, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. In the first six months of 2015, the Company decreased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $0.1 million. As of July 5, 2015, the Company had accrued approximately $27.2 million for unrecognized tax benefits. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company’s deferred tax asset as of July 5, 2015 reflects a reduction for $21.9 million of these unrecognized tax benefits.

NOTE 11 – ITEMS RECLASSIFIED FROM OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

During the first six months of 2015, the Company did not reclassify any significant amounts out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The reclassifications that occurred in that period were primarily comprised of $0.8 million related to the Company’s defined retirement benefit plan and salary continuation plan. These reclassifications were included in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item of the Company’s consolidated condensed statement of operations.

NOTE 1013RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard regarding recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. In summary, the core principle of this standard is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, and early application is not permitted. While the Company is currently reviewing this new standard, it is not expected that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard regarding the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, or similar tax credit carryforward, exists. This standard clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax benefit is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be netted with the deferred tax asset. The Company implemented this standard in the first quarter of 2014, which resulted in reductions of deferred tax asset (long-term) and long-term other liabilities of approximately $21.8 million each. Pursuant to this standard, the Company also adjusted its December 29, 2013 consolidated balance sheet, resulting in decreases in its deferred tax asset (long-term) and long-term other liabilities of approximately $21.8 million each.

NOTE 11 – INCOMETAXESREPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK

 

In the firstfourth quarter of 2013,2014, the Company executed advance pricing agreements for tax years 2006 through 2011announced a program to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock per fiscal year, commencing with the Canada Revenue Agency and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in relation to the U.S. bilateral advanced pricing agreement filed in 2008. As a result of executing the advance pricing agreements, the Company was able to reduce its liability for unrecognized tax benefits in2014 fiscal year. During the first quarter of 2013 by $1.9 million. This benefit has been included in2015, the “Income Tax Expense (Benefit)” lineCompany repurchased and retired 250,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average purchase price of $19.39 per share. During the Company’s consolidated condensed statementsecond quarter of operations for2015, the nine months ended September 29, 2013.Company repurchased and retired 250,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average purchase price of $22.41 per share.

 

Accounting standards require that all tax positions be analyzed using a two-step approach. The first step requires an entity to determine if a tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. In the second step, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. In the first nine months of 2014, the Company decreased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $0.8 million. As of September 28, 2014, the Company had accrued approximately $26.6 million for unrecognized tax benefits. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company’s deferred tax asset as of September 28, 2014 reflects a reduction for $21.8 million of these unrecognized tax benefits (see Note 10 for additional information).

NOTE 12 – FIRE AT AUSTRALIAN MANUFACTURING FACILITY

In July 2012, a fire occurred at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Picton, Australia, rendering the facility inoperable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS

 

Our discussions below in this Item 2 are based upon the more detailed discussions about our business, operations and financial condition included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013,28, 2014, under Item 7 of that Form 10-K. Our discussions here focus on our results during the quarter and ninesix months ended, or as of, September 28, 2014,July 5, 2015, and the comparable periods of 20132014 for comparison purposes, and, to the extent applicable, any material changes from the information discussed in that Form 10-K or other important intervening developments or information since that time. These discussions should be read in conjunction with that Form 10-K for more detailed and background information.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains statements which may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the planned bond redemptions and debt refinancing and anticipated interest savings therefrom, as well as the anticipated future charges, expenditures and savings relating to the restructuring plan adopted in the third quarter of 2014. Important factors currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties associated with economic conditions in the commercial interiors industry risks associated with the possible nonsatisfaction of the conditions to borrowing under the Company’s Syndicated Credit Facility, which facility is needed to complete the bond redemptions described in this report, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013,28, 2014, which discussion is hereby incorporated by reference. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time.

 

2014 Restructuring Charge

In the third quarter of 2014, we committed to a restructuring plan in our continuing efforts to reduce costs across our worldwide operations. In connection with this restructuring plan, we incurred a pre-tax restructuring and asset impairment charge in the third quarter of 2014 in an amount of $12.4 million. The charge was comprised of severance expenses of $9.7 million for a reduction of 100 employees, other related exit costs of $0.1 million, and impairment of assets of $2.6 million. Approximately $10 million of the charge will result in cash expenditures, primarily severance expense. This restructuring plan is anticipated to be substantially completed by the end of 2014, and is expected to yield annual cost savings of approximately $14 million beginning in 2015.

Fire at Australia Facility

In July 2012, a fire occurred at our manufacturing facility in Picton, Australia, which served customers throughout Australia and New Zealand. The fire caused extensive damage to the facility, as well as disruption to business activity in the region. Following the fire, we utilized adequate production capacity at our manufacturing facilities in Thailand, China, the U.S. and Europe to meet customer demand formerly serviced from Picton. While this has been executed with success, there were, as expected, business disruptions and delays in shipments that affected sales following the fire. We have now completed the build-out of a new manufacturing facility in Minto, Australia, which commenced operations in January 2014. For additional information on the fire, please see the Note entitled “Fire at Australian Manufacturing Facility” in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013.

Ourcost of sales; if currency rates had remained the same for the second quarter of 2015 versus that of the second quarter of 2014, our cost of sales would have been approximately $13 million higher. As a percentage of sales, our cost of sales declined significantly to 61.6% for the second quarter of 2015 versus 65.3% for the second quarter of 2014. Gross profit margin improved across all three of our primary geographic regions, with the Americas showing the largest improvement versus 2014. The key factors in the improvement were (1) reduced raw material costs of 5-7% on a global level due to lower input prices did not experience significant fluctuation duringand usage, (2) better absorption of fixed costs associated with higher production volumes, particularly in the Americas and Europe, (3) the normalization of operations in Australia and rebalancing of production in the Asia-Pacific region compared with the inefficiencies associated with the startup of the new facility in Australia in 2014, (4) continued implementation of lean manufacturing practices in our Americas business, and (5) the cost savings associated with our restructuring activities in the third quarter of 2014 compared with2014.

For the third quarter of 2013. The increase insix months ended July 5, 2015, our cost of sales is largely asdecreased $0.7 million (0.2%) versus the comparable period of 2014.

In connection with2014. The reasons for the decline for the six month period are similar to the reasons addressed above for the three month period: (1) reduced raw materials costs of 5-7%, (2) higher production volumes which led to greater absorption of fixed costs, (3) the continued stabilization of the supply chain and manufacturing footprint in the Asia-Pacific region, (4) improvements in manufacturing efficiencies, and (5) the impacts of our restructuring actions taken during the third quarter of 2014, as well as other manufacturing efficiency initiatives, we expect to seeactivities in 2014. The gross margin expansionimprovements accelerated during 2015, and as such, the improvement is more significant in future periods.the three months ended July 5, 2015 versus the six month period ended July 5, 2015.

Our raw material prices did not experience significant fluctuation duringselling, general and administrative expense; if currency rates had remained the first nine months of 2014 compared with the first nine months of 2013. The increase in cost of sales was due to the factors described abovesame for the three months ended September 28, 2014, as well as increased materials costs ($12 million) and labor costs ($1.8 million) associated with higher production levels duringsecond quarter of 2015 versus that of the first six monthssecond quarter of 2014. Due to these factors, as a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased to 66.0% for the first nine months of 2014 versus 64.8% for the first nine months of 2013.

For the three months ended September 28, 2014, our selling, general and administrative expenses remained essentially even withwould have been approximately $5 million higher. The largest driver of the comparable periodincrease in 2013. Within the selling, general and administrative expenses line item, we experienced current yearversus the 2014 period increases in selling expense (up $1.3 million) associated with our targeted sales personnel additions, primarily within our Americas business, and $0.7is approximately $5.2 million of increased marketing expense for global marketing efforts. These increases were almost entirelyhigher administrative expenses largely comprised of share-based payment expenses and incentive compensation amounts, as our projected performance is better in 2015 versus 2014. This increase was offset by reduced administrative costs associated with lower levels of incentive compensation as performance targetsselling and marketing expenses, down $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. These declines, however, were not metlargely due to the same levelcurrency translation effects discussed above, as in 2013. Aslocal currencies these expenditures remained relatively consistent year over year. Due to the increased administrative expenses discussed above, we implemented a restructuring plan in the third quarter of 2014 which is expected to reduce our selling, general and administrative expense going forward. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 25.4%25.8% of sales for the three months ended September 28, 2014,July 5, 2015, versus 25.1% for25.3% of sales in the comparable period of 2013.

For the nine months ended September 28, 2014, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.1 million (3.8%) versus the comparablecorresponding period in 2013. All of this increase occurred in the first six months of 2014, as these expenses were essentially even in the third quarter of 2014 compared with the third quarter of 2013. The increase for the nine-month period was primarily due to increased selling expense ($5.5 million) associated with increased sales for the first six months of 2014, particularly in our European operations, and targeted sales force additions in key end user markets, particularly in the Americas. We also experienced an increase in marketing expense of approximately $1.2 million for continued global marketing campaigns and new product introductions in the current year period. The rate of sales increase for the nine months ended September 28, 2014 kept pace with these additional expenses, and as2014. On a result,sequential basis, however, selling general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales is lower, compared with 27.0% in the first quarter of 2015.

For the six month period ended July 5, 2015, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased only slightly to 26.3%$3.4 million (2.6%) versus the comparable period in 2014. Currency fluctuation had a positive impact on selling, general and administrative expenses; if currency rates had remained the same for the period,first six months of 2015 versus 26.2%the first six months of 2014, our selling, general and administrative expenses would have been approximately $9 million higher. The increase was largely due to higher administrative expenses of $8.9 million largely comprised of share-based payment expenses and incentive compensation amounts, as our projected performance is better in 2015 versus 2014.These increases were partially offset by lower marketing (down $3.3 million) and selling (down $1.7 million) costs. While currency impacts were the primary factor in these declines, across all regions selling and marketing expenses were down as a percentage of sales versus the first six months of 2014, due to both higher sales as well as cost savings as a result of our restructuring actions which took place in the third quarter of 2014. Due to these initiatives, as a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2013.first six months of 2015 declined to 26.4%, versus 26.8% in the first six months of 2014.

 

Interest Expense

 

For the three-monththree month period ended September 28, 2014,July 5, 2015, our interest expense decreased $0.7$3.6 million to $5.6$1.8 million, versus $6.3from $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2014. For the six month period ended July 5, 2015, our interest expense decreased $7.2 million to $3.7 million, from $10.9 million in the comparable period of 2013. Forlast year. The reason for the nine months ended September 28, 2014, our interest expense decreased $1.9 million to $16.5 million, versus $18.4 million indecreases was the comparable period of 2013. The primary reasons for these decreases were the redemption of $27.5 million of our 7.625% Senior Notesdebt refinancing activities we completed in the fourth quarter of 2013, as well as the repayment at maturity2014, in which we redeemed all of the remaining $8.1our $247.5 million of our 11.375%outstanding 7.625% Senior Subordinated Notes in the fourth quarter of 2013. While we did haveand replaced them with borrowings outstanding under our Syndicated Credit Facility for the third quarterFacility. This facility is comprised of a term loan as well as a multi-currency revolving debt facility and first nine months of 2014, which were not present in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, these borrowings wereincurs interest at a significantly lower interest rate than the senior notes which were repaid and redeemed in the fourth quarter of 2013.7.625% Senior Notes.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

General

 

At September 28, 2014,July 5, 2015, we had $68.5$71.8 million in cash. At that date, we had $28.0$200.0 million in term loan borrowings, $59.1 million of revolving loan borrowings and $3.3$3.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under ourthe Syndicated Credit Facility. As of September 28, 2014,July 5, 2015, we could have incurred $168.7$187.8 million of additional borrowings under our Syndicated Credit Facility. InFacility.In addition, we could have incurred an additional $8.4$19.0 million of borrowings under our other lines of credit in place at other non-U.S. subsidiaries.

 

On October 3, 2014, subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we amended our Syndicated Credit Facility. The amendment expands the aggregate borrowing availability for revolving loans under the Syndicated Credit Facility from $200 million to $250 million, provides for up to $200 million of new Term Loan A borrowing availability which may be used to repurchase or redeem (before December 31, 2014) the Company’s 7.625% Senior Notes, and extends the maturity of the Syndicated Credit Facility to October 3, 2019. The amendment provides for required amortization payments of any Term Loan A borrowing, as well as mandatory prepayments of any Term Loan A borrowing (and any term loans made available pursuant to any future multicurrency loan facility increase) from certain asset sales, casualty events and debt issuances, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions as provided for therein. Pursuant to the amendment, we have the option to further increase (in the future) the borrowing availability under the Syndicated Credit Facility, either for revolving loans or term loans, by up to $150 million, subject to the receipt of lender commitments for such increase and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. All other terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, including covenants, interest rates and fees, events of default and collateral, remain substantially unchanged.

Following the amendment of our Syndicated Credit Facility, on October 10, 2014, we elected to redeem $27.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.625% Senior Notes at a price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date of November 26, 2014. In addition, on October 17, 2014, we elected to redeem the remaining $220 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes that had not previously been called for redemption, at a price equal to 103.813% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date of December 1, 2014. These redemptions are expected to require $266.1 million, and to be funded through a combination of Term Loan A and revolving borrowings under the expanded Syndicated Credit Facility, and cash on hand. It is estimated that the redemptions and refinancing of this debt will result in $12 million to $13 million in annualized interest savings, based on current interest rates.

ITEM 3.3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Our discussion below in this Item 3 is based upon the more detailed discussions of our market risk and related matters included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013,28, 2014, under Item 7A of that Form 10-K. Our discussion here focuses on the period ended September 28, 2014,July 5, 2015, and any material changes from (or other important intervening developments since the time of) the information discussed in that Form 10-K. This discussion should be read in conjunction with that Form 10-K for more detailed and background information.

 

At September 28, 2014,July 5, 2015, we recognized an $11.8a $20.2 million decrease in our foreign currency translation adjustment account compared to December 29, 2013,28, 2014, primarily because of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies.currencies, particularly the Euro and Australian dollar.

 

Sensitivity Analysis. For purposes of specific risk analysis, we use sensitivity analysis to measure the impact that market risk may have on the fair values of our market sensitive instruments.

To perform sensitivity analysis, we assess the risk of loss in fair values associated with the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates on market sensitive instruments. The market

Because the debt outstanding under our Syndicated Credit Facility has variable interest rates based on an underlying prime lending rate or LIBOR rate, we do not believe changes in interest rates would have any significant impact on the fair value of instruments affected by interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk is computed based on the present value of future cash flows as impacted by the changesthat debt instrument. Changes in the rates attributable tounderlying prime lending rate or LIBOR rate would, however, impact the market risk being measured. The discount rates usedamount of our interest expense. For a discussion of these hypothetical impacts on our interest expense, please see the discussion in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the present value computations were selected based on market interest and foreign currency exchange rates in effect at Septemberyear ended December 28, 2014. The values that result from these computations are compared with the market values of these financial instruments at September 28, 2014. The differences in this comparison are the hypothetical gains or losses associated with each type of risk.

As of September 28, 2014, based on a hypothetical immediate 150 basis point increase in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, the market value of our fixed rate long-term debt would be impacted by a net decrease of approximately $0.7 million. Conversely, a 150 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a net increase in the market value of our fixed rate long-term debt of approximately $0.7 million.

As of September 28, 2014,July 5, 2015, a 10% decrease or increase in the levels of foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant, would result in a decrease in the fair value of our financial instruments of $10.1 million or an increase in the fair value of our financial instruments of $8.2$8.3 million, respectively. As the impact of offsetting changes in the fair market value of our net foreign investments is not included in the sensitivity model, these results are not indicative of our actual exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

 

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), pursuant to Rule 13a-14(c) under the Act. Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
