VIRCO MFG. CORPORATION
Notes to unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
OctoberJuly 31, 20202021
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 20202021 (“Form 10-K”).  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months and ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021.2022. The balance sheet at January 31, 20202021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. All references to the “Company” refer to Virco Mfg. Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Principles of Consolidation and Reclassification

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Virco Mfg. Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The classification of certain prior year sales allowances of approximately $171,000 and $389,000 was made for the three and six months ended July 31, 2020, respectively. The amounts of reclassification representing the replacement of damaged goods, previously presented in net sales, is presented in costs of goods sold in the accompanying prior period statements of income or operations, which conform to current period presentation.

Liquidity

Management evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve12 months through December 31, 2021.September 30, 2022. The Company has experienced an overall decline in net sales and net income throughfor the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021. For the first nine-monthssix-months of fiscal 20212022 the Company experienced a material increase in orders and shipments as comparedschools received funding to fiscal 2020 assupport a result of the disruptionreturn to its business and its customers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. classroom instruction.

As a result of the reduced revenue in the prior fiscal year, the Company was not in compliance with its fixed-charge coverage ratio under its revolving and secured credit agreement with PNC Bank, as of July 31, 2020, prior to an amendment and waiver negotiated to satisfy the event of default that also reduced the ratio required for the rolling four-quarter period ended October 31, 2020 from 1.10:1.00 to 1.00:1.00. However, the Company was not in compliance with this amended fixed-charge ratio of 1.00:1.00 as of October 31, 2020 due to the continuing decline in net sales and net income. The Company successfully negotiated a waiver and amendment on December 11, 2020 to the agreement to satisfy the event of default and amend the fixed-charge coverage ratio covenant. The amended covenant allows the Company to add back certain COVID-19 related costs incurred between May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021, not to exceed $2 million, to adjusted EBITDA and retains a minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio of 1.10:1.00 beginning with the quarter endingended January 31, 2021 (see Note 7)7). The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of July 31, 2021.

The Company expects the impact of COVID-19 to continue to be a challenge for the foreseeable future and believes the economy will be adversely impacted for an indeterminate period, including the demand for its products and supply of materials and labor required to manufacture products. The extent of the impact will depend on numerous factors that are unknown, uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted. The Company has plans to further moderate certain selling, general and administrative expenses and capital expenditures to preserve cash and maintain compliance with its financial covenants. Based on the Company’s current projections, including COVID-19 related costs, and its ability to manage certain controllable expenditures, management believes it will maintain compliance with the financial covenants for the next 12 months and that the Company’s existing cash, projected operating cash flows and available credit facilities, described in Note 7, are adequate to meet its operating needs, liabilities and commitments over the next twelve12 months from the issuance of the interim financial statements.

Note 2. Seasonality and Management Use of Estimates
12


The market for educational furniture is marked by extreme seasonality, with approximately 50% of the Company’s total sales typically occurring from June to August each year, the Company’s peak season. Hence, the Company typically builds and carries significant amounts of inventory during and in anticipation of this peak summer season to facilitate the rapid delivery requirements of customers in the educational market. This requires a large up-front investment in inventory, labor, storage and related costs as inventory is built in anticipation of peak sales during the summer months. As the capital required for this build-up generally exceeds cash available from operations, the Company has generally relied on third-party bank financing to meet cash flow requirements during the build-up period immediately preceding the peak season. In addition, the Company typically is faced with a large balance of accounts receivable during the peak season. This occurs for two primary reasons. First, accounts receivable balances typically increase during the peak season as shipments of products increase. Second, many customers during this period are educational institutions and government entities, which tend to pay accounts receivable slower than commercial customers.
12


For the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, management believes that the traditional peak season has been and will continue to be impacted by economic conditions related to COVID 19. The Company has experienced difficulty sourcing desired levels of temporary labor and permanent hires in the manufacturing and distribution facilities. In addition, the Company is experiencing supply chain disruptions for raw materials. These conditions have adversely impacted sales volume for the months of June and July. The Company anticipates that a larger portion of its annual sales will occur in September, October, and November of the current fiscal year compared to prior years.

The Company’s working capital requirements during and in anticipation of the peak summer season require management to make estimates and judgments that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to market demand, labor costs and stocking inventory. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, valuation of inventory; deferred tax assets and liabilities; useful lives of property, plant and equipment; liabilities under pension, warranty, self-insurance and environmental claims; and the accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making assumptions and estimates, events and changes in circumstances arising after OctoberJuly 31, 2020,2021, including those resulting from the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, may result in actual outcomes that differ from those contemplated by our assumptions and estimates.

Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Updates

In response to the large volume of anticipated lease concessions to be granted related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resultant expected cost and complexity of applying the lease modification requirements in ASC 842, the FASB issued Staff Q&A—Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting For Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, in April 2020 as interpretive guidance to provide clarity in response to the crisis. The FASB staff indicated that it would be acceptable for entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how they would be accounted for as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed in the original contract. Consequently, for such lease concessions, an entity will not need to reassess each existing contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist and an entity can elect to apply or not to apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 to those contracts. The election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract.

In accordance with this interpretive guidance, the Company elected to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract consistent with how they would be accounted for as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed in the original contract. Consequently, for such lease concessions, the Company did not reassess each existing contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions existed and elected not to apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 to those contracts. In the second fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2020, the Company accounted for COVID-19 lease abatements of $136,000 as reductions to variable lease expense as if no changes to the lease contract were made while continuing to recognize expense and reductions in the operating lease liability, as well as the operating lease right-of-use asset during the abatement period. There were no lease concessions recorded in the first and third quarters of fiscal 2021.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This update simplifies various aspects related to accounting for income taxes, removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740, and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application.  The Company adopted this ASU as of February 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) which modifies the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. For public companies the ASU removes disclosure requirements for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value and clarifies that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. The ASU adds the disclosure requirement for changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted this ASU as of February 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Updates

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-14 (ASU 2018-14), Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20), which amends the current disclosure requirements regarding
13


defined benefit pensions and other post retirement plans, and allows for the removal of certain disclosures, while adding certain new disclosure requirements. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and allows for early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology for measuring and recognizing credit losses with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.  The adoption date, as modified by the recently issued ASU 2019-10, discussed below, will be for the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2022 and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates.  ASU 2019-10 moves the effective date for certain previously issued amendments to later dates, depending on the filing status of the respective entity.  Specifically, due to the amendment and the Company’s status as a smaller reporting company, the new effective dates for relevant previously issued amendments not yet adopted by the Company relate to ASU 2016-13 as described above.

Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Revenue Recognition

The Company manufactures, markets and distributes a wide variety of school and office furniture to wholesalers, distributors, educational institutions and governmental entities. Revenue is recorded for promised goods or services when control is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company's sales generally involve a single performance obligation to deliver goods pursuant to customer purchase orders.  Prices for our products are based on published price lists and customer agreements. The Company has determined that the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time when the Company completes delivery per the customer contract. The majority of sales are free on board ("FOB") destination where the destination is specified per the customer contract and may include delivering the furniture into the classroom, school site or warehouse. Sales of furniture that are sold FOB factory are typically made to resellers of our product who in turn provide logistics to the ultimate customer. Once a product has been delivered per the shipping terms, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery in accordance with shipping
13


terms because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. The Company offers sales incentives and discounts through various regional and national programs to our customers. These programs include product rebates, product returns allowances and trade promotions. Variable consideration for these programs is estimated in the transaction price at contract inception based on current sales levels and historical experience using the expected value method, subject to constraint.

We do not consider our revenue generated through direct-to-customers and resellers to be meaningfully different revenue streams given similarities in the nature of the products, performance obligation and distribution processes. Sales are predominately in the United States and to a similar class of customer. We do not manage or evaluate the business based on product line or any other discernable category.

Note 5. Inventories
Inventories are valued at thelower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value and includes material, labor and factory overhead. The Company maintainsrecords valuation allowancesadjustments for estimated slow-moving and obsolete inventory to reflect the difference between theexcess cost of the inventory and theover its estimated net realizable value. Valuation allowancesadjustments for slow-moving and obsolete inventory are determined throughcalculated using an estimated percentage applied to inventories based on a physical inspection of the product in connection with a physical inventory, a review of slow-moving productproducts and component stage, inventory category, historical and forecasted consumption of sales, and consideration of active marketing programs. The market for education furniture is traditionally driven by value, not style, and the Company has not typically incurred significant obsolescence
14


expenses. If market conditions are less favorable than those anticipated by management, additional valuation allowancesadjustments may be required. Due to reductions in sales volume in the past years, the Company’s manufacturing facilities are operating at reduced levels of capacity. The Company records the cost of excess capacity as a period expense, not as a component of capitalized inventory valuation.

The following table presents a breakdown of the Company’s inventories as of OctoberJuly 31, 2020,2021, January 31, 20202021 and OctoberJuly 31, 2019:2020:

Note 6. Leases

The Company has operating leases on real property, equipment, and automobiles that expire at various dates. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and assesses classification of the lease at commencement. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases, as a lessee. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable, or the incremental borrowing rate. Our incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments using company specific credit spreads. The Company’s lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease only when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for our operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In accordance with ASC 842, quantitative information regarding our leases is as follows:

(1) Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2019, management identified an immaterial correction related to the disclosure of certain variable lease payments. Variable lease expense for the three-months and nine-months ended October 31, 2019 did not previously include $340,000 and $849,000, respectively of variable lease payments for property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance related to triple net leases. Management corrected the disclosure related to variable lease expense in the table above for the three-months and nine-months ended October 31, 2019 and, except for this change, the correction had no impact upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company ("the(the “Borrowers”) has a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender (“PNC”). The Credit Agreement has been amended twenty onetwenty-two times since it’s origination in 2011 through fiscal 2020,2021, which, among other things, extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement for three years until March 19, 2023.

The Credit Agreement is an asset-based loan consisting of (i) a revolving line of credit with a Maximum Revolving Advance Amount of $65,000,000 that is subject to a borrowing base limitation and generally provides for advances of up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus a percentage equal to the lesser of 60% of the value of eligible inventory or 85% of the liquidation value of eligible inventory, plus $15,000,000 from January through July of each year, minus undrawn amounts of letters of credit and reserves and (ii) an equipment loan of $2,000,000. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's, as defined, personal property and certain of the Company's real property. The principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement and any accrued and unpaid interest is due no later than March 19, 2023, and the Credit Agreement is subject to certain prepayment penalties upon earlier termination of the Credit Agreement. Prior to the maturity date, principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed at the option of the Borrowers without premium or penalty, subject to borrowing base limitations, seasonal adjustments and certain other conditions, including reduced borrowings under the revolving line to less than or equal $10,000,000 for a period of 30 consecutive days during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio beginning on February 1st, 2020 of not less than 1.10 to 1.00, and capital expenditures not to exceed $8,000,000. The Company was in violation with its financial covenants as of July 31, 2020. On September 8, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 21 to the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (“Amendment No. 21”) with its lender, PNC Bank,
16


National Association.Bank. Amendment No. 21 provided a limited waiver of the Company’s violation of the covenant to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratiofixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarter period ended July 31, 2020, and amended the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratiofixed charge coverage ratio as follows: (i) 1.00 to 1.00 for the consecutive four fiscal quarter period ended October 31, 2020, and (ii) 1.10 to 1.00 for each consecutive four fiscal quarter period ending thereafter. In connection with Amendment No. 21, the Company also agreed to pay to PNC Bank a non-refundable fee of $75,000. However, the Company was not in compliance with this amended fixed-charge ratio of 1.00:1.00 as of October 31, 2020 due to the continuing decline in net sales and net income. The Company successfully negotiated and entered into Amendment No. 22 on December 11, 2020 to the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (“Amendment No. 22”) with its lender, PNC Bank, National Association.Bank. Amendment No. 22 provided a limited waiver of the Fixed-Charge Coveragefixed-charge coverage Ratio for the four fiscal quarter period ended October 31, 2020 and amended the Fixed-Charge Coveragefixed-charge coverage calculation to allow for the add back of certain COVID-19 related costs incurred from May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021 not to exceed $2 million to adjusted EBITDA beginning with the four fiscal quarter period ended January 31, 2021, and retains the required minimum coverage ratio of 1.10:1.00. In connection with Amendment No. 22, the Company also agreed to pay PNC Bank a non-refundable fee of $40,000. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of July 31, 2021.

The Credit Agreement bears interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the Eurodollar Currency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 1.25% to 1.75%, and the applicable margin for Eurodollar Currency Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 2.25% to 2.75%, in each case based on the EBITDA of the Borrower's at the end of each fiscal quarter and may be increased at PNC's option by 2.0% during the continuance of an event of default. The interest rate as of OctoberJuly 31, 20202021 was 4.5%. The Company also incurs a fee on the unused portion of the revolving line of credit at a rate of 0.375%.

To dateLast year the impact of COVID-19 on liquidity has beenwas to moderate the seasonal increase in accounts receivable and production of inventory for summer delivery. Both the increaseSeasonal increases in accounts receivable and inventory are traditionally financed through the Company’s line of credit with PNC Bank. Reductions in receivables and inventory were substantially offset by a reduction in borrowing under the revolving line with PNC Bank.

In addition to the financial covenants, the Credit Agreement contains events of default as disclosed in Note 3 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended January 31, 2020.2021. Substantially all of the Borrowers' accounts receivable are automatically and promptly swept to repay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement upon receipt by the Borrowers. Due to this automatic liquidating nature of the Credit Agreement, if the Borrowers breach any covenant, violate any representation or warranty or suffer a deterioration in their ability to borrow pursuant to the borrowing base calculation, the Borrowers may not have access to cash liquidity unless provided by PNC at its discretion.

The Company's revolving line of credit with PNC is structured to provide seasonal credit availability during the Company's peak summer season. As of October 31, 2020, there were no outstanding amounts under the line of credit and approximately $14,000,000Approximately $41,182,000 was available for borrowing as of OctoberJuly 31, 2020.2021.

Management believes that the carrying value of debt approximated fair value at OctoberJuly 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, as all of the long-term debt bears interest at variable rates based on prevailing market conditions.

Note 8. Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers the scheduled reversalwhether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of its deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. assets will not be realized.The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. TheAs a part of this evaluation, the Company maintainsassesses all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, the availability of tax carrybacks, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations (including cumulative losses in recent years), to determine whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to realize existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, and after considering future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and the effects of seasonality on the Company’s business, the Company determined that its U.S. federal deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not to be realizable, but that valuation allowances of $1,144,000, $1,064,000 and $1,186,000 as of July 31, 2021, January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, respectively, are needed for certain state NOL’s to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to an amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized.

For the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the effective tax rates were 24.6% and 46.8%, respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the effective tax rates were (36.7)% and 11.5%, respectively. Effective tax rates for the three months and six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 were primarily due to the change in forecasted mix of income before taxes in various jurisdictions, estimated permanent differences and the recording of a partial valuation allowance of $1,133,000, $1,183,000 and $1,918,000 as of October 31, 2020, January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019 to reduce against certain stateon net deferred tax assets that the Company does not believe it is more-likely-than-not to realize.assets.

On March 27, 2020, the then President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act)("CARES Act"). The Company has performed an analysis of the impact of the CARES Act and have determined that the impact would not be significant. The CARES Act modifiedprovides single-employer pension companies additional time to meet the funding obligations. Consequently, the tax deduction related to such contributions will be deferred until the funding payment is made. The CARES Act also modifies the limitation for business interest expense deduction and thededuction.The new limitation has increased from 30 to 50 percent of adjusted taxable income. Historically deferred taxes related to interest expense limitation were fully offset by a valuation allowance. The Company performed an analysis of the impact of the CARES Act and calculated a tax benefit of approximately
$200,000 which was driven by the release of the valuation allowance related to the business interest limitation.

The January 31, 2016 and subsequent years remain open for examination by the IRS and state tax authorities. The Company is not currently under any state examination. The Company is currently under IRS examination for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 Federal tax return.

Income tax expense for the third quarter and nine months ended October 31, 2020 is less than the prior year, primarily due to the decrease in pre-tax income and the change of the valuation allowance related to the business interest expense limitation deduction and state net operating losses.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

The effects of COVID-19

ResultsThe results of operations for the three-month and nine-monthsix-month periods ended OctoberJuly 31, 2021 and the comparable periods ended July 31, 2020 have been significantly impacted by economic conditions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 has been quite different during the current year compared to the prior year. Typically, the Company has an exceptionally seasonal annual cycle where approximately 50% of sales occur in the months of June, July and August. Orders received from customers follow a similar cycle, approximately 4-6 weeks preceding the selling season.

The
During the three and six-month periods ended July 31, 2020, the majority of our primary customers, the K-12 public school systems, closed school campuses and initiated remote learning on or about March 15, 2020.Most school districts continued with remote learning for the academic year ended June 2020 and into the year beginning August 2020, with a minority of districts attempting hybrid or on-site learning.During the third quarter many districts attempted to implement on-site instruction, but most large districts are continuing remote learning.

Selling activities have been significantly impacted.Ourthis period our direct sales force, one of the Company’s distinct competitive advantages, was unable to make in-person sales calls and has been required to call on customers using telephonic or other electronic methods.calls. Our primary customers, educators and district business officials, are frequentlywere typically working remotely which complicatescomplicated selling activities.Virco As a result, order rates during our traditionally displays productbusy summer season of June 2020 through August 2020 declined, causing a reduction in sales.

During the six months ended July 31, 2021, many school districts announced hybrid or on-site learning beginning in approximately April 2021. The Company received a large volume of orders for immediate delivery during this period. Orders received for the first quarter ended April 30, 2021 increased by 26.7% compared to the same period of the prior year. The majority of school districts have planned for full time in-school teaching for the academic year beginning in August / September 2021. Orders for the second quarter ended July 31, 2021 increased by 29.9% compared to the same period of the prior year.

Due to uncertainty created by COVID-19 during the year ended January 31, 2021, the Company moderated production levels to reflect the reduced order activity and maintained conservative inventory levels going into the current year. The current year has been characterized by severe supply chain issues, which were exacerbated by our low levels of inventory going into the year. The Company has significant domestic manufacturing capabilities and manufactures the large majority of finished goods domestically, but the Company imports a number of components from manufacturers in China. The cost and timely delivery of these components have been adversely affected by difficulties at the ports and by cost increases from China. The cost and availability of steel, plastic, and a variety of shows, most of whichother raw materials has been extremely volatile, and the supply chain considerations have been cancelled or held remotely.When working on site, educators and business officials typically require appointments and many districts do not allow vendors on site.Orders of furniture were impacted, but the severitychallenging. The severe weather experienced in significant portions of the impact varied by funding source. Transactional orders, which are typically smaller, sometimes made through internetUnited States in February 2021 interrupted the supply and other resellers,increased cost for plastic and are frequently for more immediate delivery, fell sharply.Project orders, which are typically, larger, frequently requiring project managementutilities. The availability of labor, both permanent employees and full-service, characterized by a longer selling process, typically months in advancetemporary employees, has been severely impacted.

Because the first quarter of the order, remained stableyear is a seasonally slow period, sales activity during the first quarter was not significantly affected by the supply chain considerations. Sales volume for the first quarter ended April 30, 2021 increased by 59.2% compared to the same period of the prior year.Funding sources for project orders are frequently bond funded, precluding funding from being diverted to alternative expenditures.The market for educational furniture is extremely seasonal, but there has traditionally been a remarkable stability to this seasonal cycle.In the current year, the timing of orders has not followed the traditional seasonal trends.Orders of educational furniture are traditionally very strong in May and June.In the current year, these months were uncharacteristically slow. This reduction adversely impacted both second and third quarter sales revenue.

DeliveryDuring the second quarter, which includes two of furniture to customers hasthe three months that typically account for 50% of our annual sales, the supply chain issues have been adversely impacted.Customers deferred deliveries of furniture duringchallenging. Sales for the initial school closures.This caused a reduction in firstsecond quarter shipments, but because orders were stable, our backlog of orders at April 30, 2020 was approximately $8,324,000 greater than the same date in the prior year.Order backlog at July 31, 2020 was flat compared to the same date inperiod of the prior year.Our backlog Backlog of orders at July 31, 2021 was slightly less at October 31, 2020 comparedapproximately $20 million greater than the prior year.

In response to the prior year.Thelabor shortage, and to reward employees who will be working substantial overtime hours during the seasonal summer peak, the Company has followed a process where we call every customer prior to shipping furniture from ourannounced that for all factory and warehouse to confirm that therehourly employees, all overtime hours will be school personnel on sitepaid at double time rather than the traditional time and one-half for hours worked between June 1 and continuing through the peak deliveries. This is anticipated to acceptcost the delivery.This has added complexity to the distribution process but has enabled effective execution of deliveries.DuringCompany an additional $1.5 - $2.0 million during the second and third quarters, shipmentsquarters. The Company anticipates that this increased cost will be offset, in whole or in part, by the increased efficiency of furniture started to modelusing experienced Virco employees with a substantial reduction in temporary labor. Inventory levels at July 31, 2021 are significantly lower than the traditional seasonal cycle, but at a reduced level of activity due to lower orders.In typical years, shipments of furniture are scheduled to occur prior to Labor Day, when all schools are typically in session.This year, did not have the same “hard deadline” and summer deliveries extended into September.

Manufacturing has been impacted, but operations have been successful given the circumstances.Our Arkansas factories, which represent approximately two-thirds of our annual volume have been operating the entire time.Our Torrance factory closed for one week at the inception of the pandemic when state and local shutdown orders were not coordinated.After the Company determinedmay incur additional costs for expediting to satisfy customer orders. While these challenges are substantial, the Company believes that our operations were essential, production re-started.The Torrance operations were closed for several days around Memorial Daythe benefits of domestic manufacturing compared to facilitate deep cleaning when a small number of employees were tested positive for COVID-19, but it quickly resumed operations and has been operating since Memorial Day.The Company did not experience significant disruptionan import model with an extended supply chain to productionChina will be realized during the third quarter.Production rates have been moderated in response to reduced unit sales volume and a decision by management to reduce inventory levels.At various times our supply chain has been challenged by interruptions of imported components and by domestic suppliers’ difficulties.While challenging, the Company has performed effectively during this period.Our seasonal manufacturing cycle traditionally utilized temporary labor to address the education market seasonal cycle.The reduced production volume has been addressed by limiting temporary labor, and through October 31, 2020 there have been no layoffs or furloughs of our employees.In response to the seasonal nature of our business, the Company traditionally closes or curtails operations for one week during Thanksgiving, and for approximately two weeks during
22


Christmas and New Year’s, mirroring the holidays when schools are closed.For the current year, the Company anticipates adding an additional week of restricted operations at both Thanksgiving and New Year’s.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted or accelerated changes in many industries, including the furniture industry.While many furniture markets may be permanently impacted, the current pandemic appears to have reinforced the need and desire to have children attend K-12 schools in-person and be instructed in classroom settings.Furniture that facilitates social distancing has been a part of the Company’s product offering since its founding in 1950.The current condition of the K-12 education market continues to be one of significant disruption.State and local governments are anticipated to have severe budgetary concerns in the foreseeable future.While the overall market for school furniture may decline in the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021 and probably beyond, management believes that our domestic manufacturing base provides meaningful opportunities to increase market share due to our flexibility and rapid turnaround rather than by reducing prices.

In September 2020, after consideration of uncertainties tied to COVID-19 pandemic, the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted a flexible strategy that will reduce cash compensation payable to outside directors and executive officers by at least 25% between October 2020 and January 2021.year.
